Chapter 120 Five Elements Refining Viscera Technique

Cao family compound, under the eaves.

Cao Ze lay on the recliner, lazily flipping through the booklet in his hand.

He came back from the East China Sea yesterday. His injuries from using the Magic Heart Ferry have not yet fully recovered, but his five internal organs no longer ache, and the needle-like pain all over his body has disappeared. This is the terrifying effect of practicing the skin grinding, tendon strengthening and bone strengthening skills to perfection.

If I want to fully recover, it may take at least ten days or half a month.

The masters and half-step masters who were chasing the Dragon Temple by the Demon Subduing Division came back one after another the next day, but they did not seem to be happy about their victory. Instead, many of them were injured, and several masters were completely left in the East China Sea.

Even Yuwen Badao was carried back by Luo Qingyun.

They learned from Hong Xing that when they were chasing the escaped Grandmaster of Dragon Temple, they encountered an ambush set up by a Qi Refiner. Dozens of Blood Demon Guards at the half-step Grandmaster level attacked them in the formation, and several Grandmasters died on the spot.

Yuwen Badao even faced the Dragon God Temple's chief priest and the Qi Refiner head-on, and was severely injured. In the end, if Luo Qingyun had not used life-saving means to break the formation, they would probably have all died there.

Of course, the Dragon God Temple was also in a bad situation. Dozens of Blood Demon Guards at the Half-Step Grandmaster level were destroyed, and the high priest was also seriously injured by Luo Qingyun.

Cao Ze suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yuwen Badao had not come to rescue Yuwen Qilong yet. It turned out that he himself could not save himself.

In fact, the Dragon Temple indirectly saved his life.

This is undoubtedly great news for Cao Ze.

Continuing to flip through the booklet in his hand, Cao Ze finally had a clear understanding of the value of the thing Zhao Chengxun gave him.

This is a huge gift!

There wasn't much in Zhao Chengxun's storage badge, just some sundries and a few thousand taels of silver. Even his long sword was just an ordinary sharp weapon-grade long sword, which was naturally very shabby among the half-step grandmasters.

But the secret techniques recorded in that booklet made Cao Ze ecstatic.

All things grow, and the wood spirit core can absorb the energy of the sun in the sky, transform it into life energy, strengthen the body, and refine the essence and blood!

This secret technique is completely a cheating device for automatic cultivation!

Although Cao Ze doesn't know how powerful the effect of this secret technique is yet, it is enough to make Cao Ze full of expectations.

Full of vitality, it stimulates the Wood Spirit Heart Core to release powerful life energy, providing healing and growth power for surrounding life forms. Within a certain range, the injuries of all life forms recover rapidly, plant growth speeds up, and animal vitality increases. This consumes a large amount of heart core energy. After use, the Wood Spirit Heart Core needs to be recharged for a period of time before it can be used again.

No wonder it took Zhao Chengxun only half a month to fully recover from such a serious injury. It turned out that all this was thanks to the Wood Spirit Core.

Emerald Barrier: The Wood Spirit Core can form a barrier made of life energy to protect the user from external harm. The barrier has strong defensive power and can resist physical attacks and potential attacks.

At the same time, the barrier can absorb the surrounding life energy and provide the user with a continuous recovery effect. The duration and strength of the barrier depend on the energy reserves of the heart core and the user's willpower.

The wrath of nature, the wood spirit core can absorb the essence and blood of the holder, and unleash a terrifying blow. Its power is related to the energy stored in the wood spirit core and the strength of the absorbed essence and blood.

A reminder: do not use this technique lightly unless it is a life-and-death situation. Using this technique can result in all your energy and blood being depleted, and you will have no chance of practicing martial arts ever again. Or it can result in instant death on the spot.

In addition to the introduction to these secret techniques, the booklet also contains specific methods of practice, which are covered with densely packed notes, including inspirations recorded by predecessors and insights left by later generations.

For example, behind the secret technique of the growth of all things, someone left a comment: The energy absorbed by the wood spirit core may not be the energy of the sun, but the energy of light. I have tried to perform this secret technique in an environment without the sun, and I can still obtain energy, but the effect is far worse than performing it under the sunshine of the sun.

: Hahaha, the ancestors were really awesome. I found a Qi cultivator who was skilled in light magic to cooperate with me. After casting the spell of growth of all things, the effect is 50% stronger than under the sun. Hahaha, the day when I, Zhao Wuji, become a grandmaster, will be the day when my Zhao family rises.

: So why is my Zhao family still a marginal player? A sincere question from a younger generation 180 years later.

:666, our ancestors are all talented!

The notes in the booklet include those that describe serious research into the mystic arts, and those that describe showing off and being clever.

But from the densely packed handwriting, Cao Ze saw a magnificent picture of the collision of wisdom of countless generations. After discovering that the Wood Spirit Core had so many uses, Cao Ze was even reluctant to use it as a material for practicing the Five Elements Refining Internal Medicine.

The quality of this wooden spirit core is obviously more than one level higher than the golden soul divine iron. It is powerful enough as a rare treasure.

After reading carefully until the last page, Cao Ze finally saw the treasure map that Zhao Chengxun mentioned.

"Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique?"

However, after seeing the legend of the fairyland on this treasure map, Cao Ze's expression became a little strange.

Perhaps, there is God's will in the dark?

What made him even more ecstatic was that he learned from the legends of the Immortal Palace that practicing the Five Elements Internal Medicine would not destroy the Wood Spirit Core, but would allow the Wood Spirit Core to merge with the liver. After that, the liver would become the Wood Spirit Core, and the Wood Spirit Core would also be the liver.

After refining, he can also use the secret techniques passed down by the Zhao family.

In this case, if we don’t practice now, when will we?
Cao Ze raised his head and put the booklet into the storage waist badge. The Wood Spirit Core appeared in his right hand, and the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique Secret Book appeared in his left hand.

He had already memorized the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique by heart, but before practicing, he still read it again carefully before beginning to practice.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the quiet practice room, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of plants and trees.

In the center of the room, Cao Ze sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his palms facing up, holding a wood spirit core that was shining with emerald green light.

The wood spirit core emitted a soft green light, beating in Cao Ze's palm as if it had life, trembling gently with the rhythm of his breathing.

Cao Ze had a calm face and took long breaths. He mobilized his Qi and blood according to the secret method of the Five Elements Internal Medicine. Soon, an invisible force seemed to flow slowly in his body, echoing the green light of the Wood Spirit Core.

As the practice progressed, the light of the wood spirit core became stronger and stronger, as if it was resonating with Cao Ze's internal organs. Cao Ze could clearly feel a warm energy pouring into his body from his palms, flowing slowly along the meridians, and finally converging on the liver among the five internal organs, awakening the source of blood.

Then it goes upward, enters the heart, awakens the source of pumping blood, then goes all the way down to the spleen, awakens the acquired foundation, then goes upward again, rushes to the lungs, penetrates the canopy, awakens the root of qi, then falls again, reaches the kidneys, awakens the innate essence.

Finally it returns to the liver.

In an instant, it seemed as if all his five internal organs were awakened, and Cao Ze felt that the whole world was refreshed before his eyes and became completely different.

Although this is an illusion, after awakening the five internal organs, a small self-circulating world seems to be formed in the body, and one seems to be able to absorb a faint trace of energy from the world with each breath.

His heart grew stronger with the nourishment of the wood spirit's energy, and every beat seemed to stir up a ripple of life. His lungs, washed by the wood spirit's energy, breathed more smoothly, as if they could absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The liver, spleen and kidneys also gradually became stronger under the nourishment of the wood spirit energy. They worked together to transform this energy into Cao Ze's own strength.

In the training room, there was no other sound except Cao Ze's breathing.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, but Cao Ze's cultivation level was steadily improving without him noticing. His complexion gradually became rosy, and his eyes revealed a deep light, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world.

Finally, when the light of the wood spirit core gradually dimmed and shrunk a little, Cao Ze slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He clenched his fists lightly, feeling the power filling his body, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The Five Elements Internal Refining Technique was successful!

With a thought, the panel was summoned.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Twelve-level Body Forging
Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Forging): Perfect (23/40960)

Snow Blade: Perfection

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Minor Success (93/3200)

Wind Shadow Step: Perfection
Five Elements Internal Medicine (Liver): Fusion (7%)

Love Point: 1365】

Seeing the progress after the Five Elements Internal Medicine Surgery, Cao Ze was a little surprised. This was somewhat different from what he expected.

A thought came to my mind.

"Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique, give me some more!"

As Cao Ze's thoughts turned, a large number of memories suddenly popped up in his mind. In his memories, countless days and nights had passed in boring practice. The energy of the wood spirit core entered the five internal organs and circulated in them countless times.

When Cao Ze woke up from his memory, he found that the wood spirit core in his hand had shrunk a lot, and the energy it absorbed from the air with each breath had also increased. If it was only a strand as big as a hair before, now it has become the size of a fishing line.

Moreover, the five internal organs that were damaged by the use of the Magic Heart Ferry have naturally recovered to normal as the progress of the Five Elements Internal Refining Technique has increased, and are even better than before!
The increase in power doesn't seem to be that big, but the panel is called out.
Cultivation: Twelve-level Body Forging
Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Forging): Perfect (23/40960)

Snow Blade: Perfection

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Minor Success (93/3200)

Wind Shadow Step: Perfection
Five Elements Internal Medicine (Liver): Fusion (20%)

Love Point: 65】

The progress of the Five Elements Refining Internal Organs Technique has already increased to 20%, but the love points have suddenly decreased by 1300.

It seemed like more than a thousand love points were wasted in vain, but Cao Ze was ecstatic because he had noticed that before practicing the Five Elements Refining Internal Organs Technique, the progress of the Fish-Dragon Transformation was still 0, but after only one hour of practice, the progress of the Fish-Dragon Transformation increased by 23 points.

That was when the fusion degree of the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique was only 7%. Now that the fusion degree has been increased to 20%, what will be the effect?

But there was no need to worry. Cao Ze retracted his gaze and found a booklet in his hand. It was the secret technique of the Wood Spirit Core that Zhao Chengxun had given him.

Now that his liver has been fused with 20% of the wood spirit core, can he perform these secret techniques by himself?

He acted as he thought. With the foundation of studying the Demon Heart Ferry, Cao Ze was not completely ignorant about the five internal organs.

According to the instructions in the booklet, Cao Ze quickly and successfully performed the basic secret technique of the Wood Spirit Core, and all things grew!
Cao Ze couldn't wait to come to the courtyard.

By this time the sky was already bright, and the sun was rising slowly from the east, casting its warm light on him, making him feel warm all over. Even the energy between his breaths became much warmer.

With the inhalation of this energy, the liver seemed to be a nourished sapling, and there seemed to be the sound of spores blooming in the body, which was the sound of life growing.

Cao Ze actually stood in the courtyard, basking in the sun, like a sapling growing towards the sun.

It was unknown how long it had been before Cao Ze finally woke up from this state. The sun was already high in the sky, and Cao Ze felt more refreshed than ever before.

Without hesitation, Cao Ze began to get into position and practice the Fish-Dragon Body Tempering Technique.

Suck……

call……

Cao Ze immediately felt the difference. As he practiced the Fish-Dragon Body Tempering Technique, the energy of heaven and earth he inhaled became stronger, and these energies directly entered the small circulation of the five internal organs. After being refined by the five internal organs, they were dissipated into the flesh and blood. Compared with before, the efficiency of energy utilization was a world of difference.

Although this tiny bit of energy is insignificant, it is better than a long-lasting trickle of water...

An hour later, Cao Ze finished his work and stood up.

Call up the panel,

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Twelve-level Body Forging
Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Forging): Perfect (31/40960)

Snow Blade: Perfection

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Minor Success (93/3200)

Wind Shadow Step: Perfection
Five Elements Internal Medicine (Liver): Fusion (20%)

Love Point: 65】

One hour of practice actually increased the progress by 8 points, which is a far cry from the previous slow pace.

"Brother Ze, it's time to eat!"

Su Xiaozhi's voice came from the main room. Cao Ze, who was standing in the courtyard, turned around and smiled.

A day had passed since he had initially mastered the Five Elements Internal Refining Technique. On this day, he also completely understood the mystery behind it.

After he mastered the Five Elements Internal Refining Technique, his efficiency in practicing the Fish and Dragon Body Tempering Technique was greatly improved. He could improve his progress by 8 points in one hour of practice. Cao Ze knew that this was due to the improved efficiency of the five internal organs in refining energy.

Unfortunately, the miracle of increasing 23 points in one hour of practice was only a flash in the pan. Cao Ze guessed that this should be the improvement brought by the energy carried by the Wood Spirit Core itself when it was fused with the Wood Spirit Core. It would only be effective when absorbing the essence of the Wood Spirit Core and practicing the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique.

But seeing that the wood spirit core was becoming thinner and thinner, such improvement could not be sustained.

What surprised him the most was the secret technique of "Growth of All Things" provided to him by Zhao Chengxun. By fusing the liver with 20% of the wood spirit core to perform this secret technique, Cao Ze only needed to stand in the sun and could gain 5 points of progress every hour!

However, if there is no sun, the progress becomes 4 points per hour, and at night it drops sharply to 2 points.

But this secret technique alone can bring him about 45 points of progress improvement every day.

This is simply an automatic plug-in!

Cao Ze could only sigh, "The Five Elements Refining Internal Organs Technique is awesome! Zhao Chengxun is awesome!"
……

Xuanbao Pavilion spaceship, Demon Subduing Division.

The captain's room was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs. Yuwen Badao, wrapped in bandages, was lying on the bed, unable even to sit up. New blood seeped out of the bandages from time to time.

There was a large dent in his chest, his left hand was missing, and even his right eye socket was left with only a black hole.

This is not the most terrifying thing. With the rare treasures of the Yuwen family and his strength as the Dragon Blood Grandmaster, such injuries can be recovered quickly.

But at this moment, a black light was flowing on the wounds all over his body, constantly engaged in a tug-of-war with a light yellow energy. Every time the two energies collided, his wounds would be torn again, and tears and blood would flow.

The light yellow energy has obviously gained the upper hand, and the black energy is even more rootless. But judging from this situation, Yuwen Badao will not be able to clear away the black energy that permeates the wound in a short time.

But what made him even more anxious was his injury.

Yuwen Qilong is dead!

His already pale face turned blue and black, and with the black hole in his right eye socket, he looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

"who is it?"

Yuwen Badao spoke hoarsely, he had thought of many situations and made many bad plans, he could even accept the blood sacrifice of Cape City by the Dragon Temple, but obviously, Yuwen Qilong's death was not what he expected, this was the worst outcome that he could not accept at all.

"The young master went alone to pursue Zhao Chengxun. When we arrived, he had already...had already..."

The Yuwen family guard standing in front of Yuwen Ba's sword was trembling with fear.

As a bodyguard of Yuwen Qilong, his fate was predictable after what happened, but he had no way to escape because all his family members were in Donghai County, under the control of the Yuwen family.

He would die, but his family would survive.

"waste!"

Yuwen Badao wished he could chop this useless piece of shit up with his own hands, but now everyone in the Demon Subduing Division had been badly injured, and this was the time to use more people.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly!"

"As long as you can find the murderer, I will ensure that your wife and children are not dead!"

Yuwen Badao could imagine that his brother and sister-in-law in Donghai County might have gone crazy and were even on their way to Haijiao City.

He hoped to find the murderer before those two lunatics arrived.

"Yes!"

The guard responded, knowing that his life was temporarily saved and he could live for a few more days. Most importantly, he saw hope.

"Kill all the disciples from the four major families who followed Qilong!"

Suddenly, Yuwen Qilong added another sentence.

Yuwen Qilong is dead, why should those ant-like insects survive?
