Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 405 Slaying the Restless Mind and Seizing the Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is incredibly rich right now. Although it cannot compare to the spiritual energy gathering cave on Hundred Desires Peak, it is still a great help to the barren Divine Martial World.

This place is no different from the celestial realm.

Xu Yunfan let out a soft breath, and the breath he had been holding in his chest was slowly exhaled. It solidified into a breath arrow that lingered in the courtyard for a long time.

He got up and stretched his muscles to loosen them up.

According to the foundation-building conditions in the True Martial Subduing Demons Scripture, one must also reconstruct the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, sever the restless mind, practice the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, and push one's will and body to the extreme step by step before one can forge the Dao foundation with the help of the Martial Dao Mystic Crystal.

Xu Yunfan had already easily completed the stage of reconstructing the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. After breaking through the nine realms of martial arts and achieving the realm of a terrestrial immortal, this was naturally already completed.

Severing the wandering thoughts and desires is, frankly, too easy for Xu Yunfan, who cultivates the Lin character technique. In the Lin state, the wandering thoughts and desires stirred up by the Foundation Establishment cultivator can be extinguished in an instant.

The most difficult challenge is the one involving practicing the Heavenly Gang and capturing the Earthly Fiends.

The thirty-six heavenly qi are elusive and difficult to find; they can only be obtained in blessed lands and grotto heavens.

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends are deep and dangerous, and one can only see them by venturing deep into the Netherworld.

These celestial and terrestrial energies are all innate origins left over from the beginning of the world, and each one can be called a foundation-building opportunity.

The celestial energy is pure, lofty, and distant. For example, the 'Purple Heavenly Thunder Qi' needs to be drawn from the core of a thunderstorm, while the 'Mysterious Ice Celestial Qi' can only be harvested under the ancient glaciers of the far north.

The earthly evil energy is yin, turbid, and violent. For example, the 'Nine Nether Yin Evil' must penetrate thousands of feet into the earth's veins, while the 'Burning Heart Earthly Evil' needs to be tempered in volcanic lava.

Each refinement of a Dao requires a complete transformation of the physical body, and at least one Heavenly Dipper and one Earthly Fiend are needed to forge a flawless Dao foundation.

What's even more remarkable is that the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends are mutually reinforcing and restraining.

To obtain 'Azure Heavenly Gang', it is necessary to harmonize it with 'Mysterious Yin Earthly Fiend'; to obtain 'Crimson Flame Earthly Fiend', it is necessary to neutralize it with 'Frosty Marrow Heavenly Gang'.

The slightest mistake could result in the complete destruction of one's meridians, or even death and the loss of one's spiritual essence.

In the past, there was a genius in the Yuanshi Sect who collected twenty-four Heavenly Gangs but failed to find a matching Earthly Fiend. In the end, he exploded and died. The ruins of his cave are still filled with rampaging Gang Qi to this day...

After closing the notebook in his hand, Xu Yunfan's eyes were sparkling. The divine martial arts foundation he had cultivated with the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture naturally had the most suitable Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends for him.

When the Divine Martial True Man was building his foundation, he harvested the True Martial Heavenly Gang Qi, which was transformed into the Northern Pole Demon-Slaying Qi. It required going to the bottom of the Xuanbing Abyss in the far north and using the night when the Big Dipper was aligned to activate it. It contained the true meaning of the Xuanwu Star Lord in suppressing demons, and the Gang Qi was in the form of black and gold patterns. When refining it, a tortoise and snake coiled around his body would appear.

According to Xu Yunfan, the so-called Xuanwu Star Lord was determined by the Nine Heavens Star System. The star positions change endlessly, naturally generating infinite power.

The second is the Subduing Demon Earthly Fiend. When we discovered the fragmented memories of the Divine Martial True Man, he had gone deep into the ninth level of the Earth Vein Molten Hell and subdued the karmic fire spirit with his martial will.

"True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture..."

Xu Yunfan pondered carefully, and finally fell silent. He figured that the True Martial Path must also be formed by the True Martial Heavenly Gang and the Subduing Demon Earthly Fiends.

"We must begin preparations to search for the Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends..."

At this moment, the true essence within Xu Yunfan's body was far more abundant than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, several times greater.

Although the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture has not yet reached its perfect state, it is perfectly suited to his martial arts foundation.

This body, forged through countless trials, is something even the Divine Martial Immortal would covet. With the aid of the attribute panel, every stage of his martial arts is incredibly solid.

From the 'Golden Marrow and Jade Bones' of the Marrow Cleansing Realm to the 'Ten Extremes Return to Origin' of the Ninth Realm of Qi Refining, each step is in line with the True Martial Way of Suppressing Demons.

What's even more remarkable is that the 'Zhou Tian Millstone' evolved from the Ten Extremes True Qi within his body perfectly matches the 'Turtle and Snake Coiling' Dharma image in the True Scripture.

Each time the true essence vortex swirling in the dantian inhales and exhales, other cloud patterns appear on the body surface, and the dragon scale armor leaves also emit a clear and melodious sound.

Such a harmonious state of cultivation is rare even among the true disciples of the Yuanshi Sect throughout history. Even the turbid evil energy dormant in the Hundred Desires Peak's veins would spontaneously condense into Xuanming Ice Crystals when it touched within three zhang of his body. This was a sign that the True Martial Subduing Demon True Scripture was about to break through to the minor completion stage.

Xu Yunfan could clearly sense that he was only two strands of innate energy away from reaching the Foundation Establishment threshold of 'Heavenly Gang tempering the body and Earthly Fiend refining the soul'.

"What? Junior Brother wants to go to the far north to find the Heavenly Heart Snow Lotus?"

Before the jade table in the Hall of a Hundred Affairs, Xu Yunfan's smile appeared exceptionally gentle in the glow of the candlelight.

His pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the female disciple in the lotus-colored gauze dress opposite him.

This newly initiated junior brother appears to be at the fourth level of Qi Refining, just entering the middle stage of Qi Refining, but his aura is as calm and steady as an abyss. Most disciples of the Yuanshi Sect have the habit of concealing their true abilities.

But with her extensive experience in judging people, she could naturally tell that the other party was hiding something. However, no matter how she tried to conceal it, she couldn't find any clues.

The more this happened, the more serious the female disciple became, and she even regretted talking to Xu Yunfan.

"Senior sister, you are wise."

Xu Yunfan pointed to the mission jade slip he had just received from the Hall of a Hundred Affairs, "I've heard that snow lotus seeds can increase the success rate of 'Heart-Slaying Pills' by 20%, which is perfect."

Do you know about the Xuanming Gale of the far north ice plains?

The female disciple suddenly interrupted, her mind racing. Looking at Xu Yunfan's strong physique, she could not suppress the restless desire in her heart. She glanced at Xu Yunfan with seductive eyes and touched the space between his eyebrows with her slender white fingers.

"With such meager cultivation, you can't even get past Cold Crow Pass."

A subtle fragrance wafted from her sleeves, and the unique mind-controlling technique of Baiyu Peak had quietly enveloped Xu Yunfan.

The other disciples in the hall secretly sneered at the sight.

Newcomers always have to suffer, especially since this senior sister Liu Ruyan loves to tease new faces.

Last year, a naive young man was tricked by her into accepting the Netherworld Cave quest, and his body is still warm today.

"Senior Sister's Thousand Love Threads are indeed exquisite."

Xu Yunfan suddenly looked up, and a golden pattern flashed and disappeared deep in his pupils.

Liu Ruyan staggered back three steps as if struck by lightning, and the jade hairpin in her hair cracked with a "crack".

Her Thousand Love Threads, which she had painstakingly cultivated for ten years, were actually shattered by the backlash!

Amidst the uproar, everyone realized that Liu Ruyan had bitten off more than she could chew. None of the disciples of the Yuanshi Sect would easily reveal their trump cards in front of others. The aura this person was exuding was probably that of a cunning tiger.

Xu Yunfan still smiled innocently: "I just happened to have obtained half of the 'Ice Soul Condensation Technique,' so I have some resistance to cold."

Liu Ruyan's expression shifted between light and dark.

The one who could silently break her charm technique would be at least at the late stage of Qi Refining, or at least at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

And yet, this guy so casually tore apart her Thousand Love Threads...

"I suddenly remembered that I'm still refining medicine in the alchemy room, so I'll take my leave now."

She turned around, forcing herself to remain calm, and stepped out in her embroidered shoes. An invisible aura quietly spread out. This late-stage disciple of the seventh level of Qi Refining was quite a figure in Hundred Desires Peak.

Upon seeing this, several disciples who had originally intended to watch the spectacle lowered their heads and pretended to study the task.

Seeing Liu Ruyan leave, Xu Yunfan didn't take it to heart. He did it on purpose. Although he was still a talent after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, he was still valued. If he accidentally killed her, he would likely get into a lot of trouble.
