With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 588 Jade Elixir Refined for Kidney Health: The Divine Waist is Initially Formed!

In the Great Chu Kingdom, it was customary to comb one's hair on this day.

Inside Huayun Mansion, Meng Chuan straightened his head of black hair, which was as black as steel needles.

After a while, he gave himself a neat buzz cut.

Looking in the mirror, he smiled with satisfaction, a gesture of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new.

After finishing his nighttime stance training, accompanied by a mental prompt, Meng Chuan introspectively examined himself:

[Taiyi Three Talents Stake: Earth Stake (65%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit-Breaking Trait: Earthly Fiend Body (Intermediate)]

The gaze shifts to the martial arts realm.

In the pitch-black night sky, the dense, spiderweb-like star trails solidified, connecting 355 stars and ultimately extending to the six openings of the dome.

After feeling it for a while, Meng Chuan realized that the star trails were like his meridians, flexible and resilient.

The second major phase of meridian cultivation is about to be completed.

Now, all that remains is for the Qi and blood to be fully replenished before we can begin to break through the third human limit.

He is very much looking forward to it.

Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan gazed at the star trails that resembled glowing blue ribbons and pondered:

"The cultivation of Martial Arts Sky is about to end. The next three-limit stance training should be applied to the inner vision, right?"
However, directly leaping from the celestial dome to the inner realm is taking a bit too big a step, and the meridians should extend from the celestial dome to the inner realm.”

Connect the two using meridians?
Currently, the two exist within the body as if they were separate entities.

Each time the perception switches the internal viewpoint, it feels similar to changing channels on a television.
What he thought was that the martial arts sky and inner landscape should be perfectly integrated to better conform to the "common sense of martial arts".

Now that Meng Chuan's martial arts theory is not bad either, we can roughly guess some of it.

He felt that the process of practicing the Three Limits stance training, which was visualized within his body, was bringing the heavens and his inner vision closer together.

Until the two merge into one, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

It's highly likely; we can confirm with our teachers when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan's gaze shifted downwards, looking towards the interior.

At a glance, the "natural mountain" representing the five elements suddenly appears before your eyes.

This mountain, representing the main achievements of Meng Chuan martial arts, is growing ever stronger and larger.

Compared to other mountains in Wuhan University of Technology, it stands out as a place where all other mountains seem small.

A few days ago, he broke through the limits of another Five Elements Fist technique, and the intermediate-level trait [Five Qi Gathering at the Origin] was filled.

Not only is the Five Elements Martial Theory more abundant, but the progress of breaking through the limits of the [Five Elements Universe Technique] is also approaching 80%.

Two more intermediate-level traits of Five Elements Fist are needed to break the limit, and then Five Qi Convergence will break the limit again!

Meng Chuan had a premonition that once it was upgraded to a fourth-order core, the inner landscape of the mountain, symbolizing the five elements, would undergo an unexpected transformation.
As he exited the inner realm, he simultaneously sensed the swirling water-elemental energy within his muscles and bones, and his tone was filled with joy:
"You've worked hard all night, Dao Xin; it's time to reap the rewards."

We spent a fortune feeding the dragon demon, wasn't this the day we were waiting for?
A few days ago, the digestion of a large amount of water-related substances had already caused his muscles and bones to swell.

The benefits of strengthening kidney essence and enhancing "true damage" that directly affects the soul are considerable.

The quantitative change has reached its limit; a drastic change is needed to achieve a qualitative transformation!
Today is today.

The core of the Netherworld Demon has been infused with the essence of the Dragon Demon, nourishing its bones and muscles.

Under Meng Chuan's internal vision, his muscles and bones were covered with a layer of crystal-clear azure luster.

Like flowing water, it was dynamic; he listened closely and heard a continuous "whooshing" sound.

With a thought, Meng Chuan appeared at the bottom of the artificial lake in the community in two flashes.

He sat cross-legged, the waves were pushed aside by him, and his body was not wet at all.

With a thought, the vast torrent within the artificial lake, like clouds rolling and unfolding, is transformed into kidney water for circulation.

Simultaneously, something unusual arose within the body, causing the muscles and bones to tremble, and the rich water-elemental essence completely intertwined with the kidney water.

The two are then refined and boiled in the body until they transform into a liquid.

Meng Chuan once again mobilized the torrent of energy throughout his body, transforming the kidney water to "cool down" the jade liquid.

The process is like brewing traditional Chinese medicine, repeated several times over several hours.

Slow and steady wins the race.

After a long time.

Meng Chuan then examined his muscles and bones internally, focused his mind, and exerted his strength to stimulate them.

From the outside, his body was like the lid of a clay pot being lifted from a stove, with wisps of white steam rising into the sky, breaking through the water layer, rising into the air, and condensing ten feet above the ground without dissipating.

As his thoughts rose and fell, the white mist, having lost its support, finally dissipated.

Dense bubbles rise from the bottom of the lake with a "poof" sound, like blowing bubbles while chewing gum. Bubbles of different sizes burst one after another as they float to the surface of the water.

Inside his body, the rich essence slowly seeped into Meng Chuan's kidneys.

The muscles and fascia surrounding the kidneys are simultaneously infiltrated, slowly relaxing and trembling, which is extremely pleasurable.

Feeling the warmth of the kidneys, Meng Chuan sat upright at the bottom of the lake, hands supporting his lower back, and inexplicably thought of...
"The kidney mutation, besides the qualitative change in damage to the soul, also strengthens my kidneys, making them more durable?"

As the essence is supplied to the kidneys, the muscles and bones quickly return to their original state, and the miraculous effects cease.

Meng Chuan then turned his gaze to his waist and kidneys.

As the warm currents gathered, a mysterious energy swirled and lingered, refusing to dissipate.

Once the vital energy gathers and coalesces, it will eventually turn its focus and flow entirely into the kidneys.

The kidneys and lower back are like an inflating balloon, sometimes swelling and sometimes shrinking, constantly changing.

The pain Meng Chuan endured during this process was beyond the comprehension of outsiders; he felt waves of sensation as if his kidneys were being squeezed.

This soreness and swelling is hard to describe; only those who have experienced it can truly understand.
Soon, this situation worsened!
Meng Chuan was a true man, a tough and resolute man.

But enduring such pain at this moment would be a nightmare even for Ultraman.
His legs were twisted in pain, and he collapsed at the bottom of the lake, gasping for breath.

Dense bubbles rose and burst from all over his body, and Meng Chuan's face turned red.

It gulped down large mouthfuls of lake water, its mouth and nose gurgling as it poured outwards.

It’s so uncomfortable!
Donning the mask of pain, he hunched over like a shrimp, and it took him a while to adjust before he felt a little better. The process of transformation was far from easy.

Those who achieve great things must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear.

Tolerate!
"I will endure!"

It wasn't until an hour later that his kidneys and lower back returned to normal, and the strange symptoms disappeared.

Meng Chuan felt like an ordinary person undergoing major surgery, and after coming off the operating table, he had lost several pounds!
After taking a breath, reflect on what you have gained from the suffering you have endured.

What kind of reward is worthy of the pain of having one's waist squeezed?

He became even more adept at manipulating the water element's energy.

With just a glance, the turbulent lake returned to calm.

Meng Chuan had already sat upright at the bottom of the lake again and opened his eyes.

In the kidneys, the accumulated water, which is the essence of vital energy, is completely depleted, and the transformation process ends.

Under internal vision, the organs in the lumbar region that filter, metabolize, and store water shimmer with a vibrant light.

The surface appears to be covered with a crystal-clear filter, undulating like the tides, demonstrating the power of its functions, which far surpass those of the past.

After taking a moment to observe, his eyes sparkled.

He was right.

Water, being a vital essence, breaks through the shackles of the kidneys, triggering a transformation that truly benefits the body's endurance and prolongs life!
It took almost half a day to break free from the constraints.

Despite having his kidneys squeezed for so long, he felt no fatigue whatsoever.
In Meng Chuan's view, the ability to manipulate kidney water and the increased damage directly affecting the soul can all be considered incidental.

The most important aspect of this achievement is endurance!

Why do you say that?
He had already reaped the full benefits of his strong endurance.

Others who practice boxing need to rest after a short time, but he is different.

Practicing boxing to one's heart's content and engaging in long-term training greatly helps in increasing qi and blood and accumulating proficiency to break through limits.

As his cultivation deepened, Meng Chuan could no longer practice intermediate, advanced, or even more difficult martial arts techniques continuously for extended periods.

For example, after practicing the "Five Thunderbolts" and "Nine Forms of Zhenwu Subduing Demons" for a while, he would have to sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing to restore his tense meridians and relieve the soreness in his limbs and bones.

How much improvement can be made from abnormalities in organs that directly control this function of the body today?

Try it yourself and you'll know.

Meng Chuan looked up, and the sky, obscured by dark clouds, struggled to reveal a sliver of red light.

The wind and rain were about to come, covering the sky.

Nine days ago, the second sun was obscured by dark clouds.

Like the darkness before dawn, it subtly gathers strength.

Meng Chuan had been thinking about this for the past few days.

Is Principal Sui about to make a breakthrough, or is he "holding back something big"?
He lowered his head and practiced his punches, pondering to himself:

"As Wudang once said, nine is the ultimate number. Dark clouds oppress the nine suns; it's time for Principal Sui to retaliate."

Aside from metaphysics, he could also sense it.

Although the temperature has long since stopped rising, the previously scattered fire elemental energy is now becoming increasingly concentrated.

The world underwent a great change as a result.
Meng Chuan emerged from the lake bottom, his hair dry and his body still impervious to water erosion.

Normally, the sun should be setting at this time.

Let's focus on ourselves.

Boxing!

Let's see how this kidney mutation really tests our endurance.

By the way, can we take advantage of the sunset to trigger enlightenment at dawn and dusk?

It's been a long time since it was triggered at dusk.

As his martial arts skills deepened, his sixth sense became increasingly accurate.

Meng Chuan had a vague guess: now is the time!

The shadows of fists rose and fell, and the setting sun's sudden realization was long gone.

It was already past midnight, and all that remained was a thin shirt soaked with sweat.

Without taking a break, Meng Chuan continued chanting for a full four hours straight!
This ancient martial arts intermediate-level true skill boxing involves the cultivation of qi, the regulation of qi, visualization, and the transformation of the five elements of boxing, with complex meridian circulation.

Other martial arts masters would be exhausted after practicing a few times at most.

He used to be able to practice for two hours, which was already considered extraordinary.

Now it has doubled again, an extraordinary talent!
"My kidneys are already beyond the ordinary, like those of a god."

A mutated kidney, yet incredibly resilient.
After a few moments of rest and recuperation, I recovered quickly.

Meng Chuan glanced at the panel and decided to stay up all night again.

With a strong waist, sleeping is a complete waste of time.

He even felt that he could sleep once every seven days or even twice a month without any problem.
[Thunderbolts Strikes: Perfect (97%) → (98%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit-Breaking Trait: Thunder's Eye (Advanced)]

"I'll first practice the core technique, then grind the lightning technique for four hours late at night. The last two points of proficiency should be enough to complete my breakthrough and allow me to break through the advanced trait limit on my first attempt."

【Nirvana Transformation into a Rainbow (Advanced)】is something he awakened on his own, so this doesn't count.

That's an exceptional quality!
Thinking of the phoenix rising from the ashes, Meng Chuan is full of energy.

Let's start with a round of the Longevity and Peace Method to slowly revive the meridians that are about to become overloaded.

a long time.

About two hours later, as his mental cultivation deepened, Meng Chuan stood firm.

[Cultivating Demonic Seeds in the Heart of the Dao] has reached the eighth level (75%), and is not far from breaking through another shackle. The perfection of the martial arts doctrine is not far away.
