Start with the fisherman

Chapter 148: Alchemy Trial

Inner city, Cao's compound,
The wind howled and the trees swayed.

Su Xiaozhi was practicing the Fish-Dragon Body Tempering Technique in the backyard, absorbing the power of heaven and earth madly without reservation.

The Red Apricot has been back for three days!

Although Hong Xing told her that Cao Ze was sent to do other things, the uneasiness in her heart was growing stronger and stronger.

"If only I were stronger!"

Su Xiaozhi's mind was in a state of confusion. Her moves seemed to be powerful, but in fact, if it weren't for her high level of cultivation, she might have gone astray.

She tried hard to calm herself down, but it only made her more confused.

In the outer courtyard, Su Wu felt the movement in the backyard and was secretly shocked.

This kind of power is much stronger than some of the martial artists in the Organ Refining Realm that he had come into contact with!

I don’t know since when, even my own daughter has become so strong.

Is she also a martial arts prodigy?
Su Zhuoding, who was standing by, walked into the yard holding Ping'er's hand. Ping'er was pregnant with a big belly, and the two had just returned from a walk outside.

Seeing the movement in the inner courtyard, Su Zhuoding showed joy on his face and looked at Su Wu, "Xiaoze is back?"

Su Wu just shook his head.

"Not Ozawa?"

"Could it be Xiaozhi?"

Su Zhuoding's eyes widened.

But he quickly recovered and became even happier.

He did not feel any jealousy. He knew what kind of person he was. Being able to live happily with Ping'er in this life was better than anything else.

Su Xiaozhi was unaware of her father and brother's surprise. Her moves became faster and faster, and her mind was a mess.

She was eager to improve her strength, but instead violated the key points of the Fish-Dragon Body Tempering Technique. The terrifying energy of heaven and earth was running wildly in her body like a wild horse running wildly in a wheat field.

A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Su Xiaozhi's mouth.

She had already sensed something was wrong and wanted to stop, but she found that the terrifying energy of heaven and earth in her body did not obey her at all. She loosened the restraints on the wild horse and wanted to put the shackles on it again, but it was not so easy.

She felt severe pain in her five internal organs; they had been injured by the violent energy impact.

There were horrible bumps on the skin, running all over the body.

Eventually, she became obsessed!

Just as Su Xiaozhi was about to explode and die, suddenly, a unique vibration frequency appeared in the yard.

dong... dong... dong...

It was like a hand stroking the mane of a wild horse. The wild horse, which had been running wildly, slowly calmed down under the touch of this hand, became docile, and then began to move regularly.

call!
When Su Xiaozhi sorted out the chaotic energy in her body and raised her head, she found that Cao Ze had been standing in front of her without her knowing when.

"I am back!"

Cao Ze reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Su Xiaozhi's mouth, then held Su Xiaozhi in his arms without saying a word of blame.

He could guess why Su Xiaozhi almost went insane.

"Brother Ze!"

Su Xiaozhi was about to cry and hugged Cao Ze tightly with both hands, saying everything without saying a word.

……

Bamboo Garden,

Yue Lingke took the scroll with some surprise, not knowing why his father wanted to give him an exchange list.

But she knew her father would not do anything without a purpose, so she opened the scroll.

Man in black!!!
Second on the exchange list, it was impossible for her not to notice that name.

To others, the man in black is just a code name, and no one knows who he is, but Yue Lingke knows!

She also knew what the merit value behind the man in black meant.

"He actually killed a Grandmaster!"

A huge wave of shock rose in Yue Lingke's heart.

She knew that Cao Ze was extremely talented, and she knew that Cao Ze was holding back when fighting with her, but she never expected that Cao Ze would hold back so much!

Hong Xing also saw the name.

"He is back!"

She suddenly felt dazed. She remembered the first time she saw the man in black, it was in that small fishing village by the sea. Everything seemed to have happened just yesterday. At that time, he could barely beat a warrior in the Refining Organ Realm, but now...

Yue Lingke put away the scroll and looked towards the entrance to the bamboo garden.

Cao Ze walked in with Su Xiaozhi and bowed to Yue Lingke, "I was injured, so I came back a little late."

After a brief explanation, he continued, "I plan to continue my retreat and cultivation in the Five Absolutes Land."

Yue Lingke held the redemption list scroll in his right hand, put it behind his back, and nodded calmly, "Go!"

……

The Five Great Lands,

It has been more than a month since Cao Ze left here, but their empty warehouse is still left for them.

Entering the empty warehouse, falling into the lake of the water land, smoothly blending into the cycle of the Five Absolute Lands, the empty warehouse changed color, isolating the inside and the outside.

Sitting cross-legged in the empty warehouse, Cao Ze took out the Earth Soul Crystal he had exchanged from Luo Qingyun.

The Earth Soul Crystal is an irregular stone the size of a fist. It is fist-sized with an uneven surface and does not look special at all. It is just like an ordinary item that can be found everywhere on the roadside.

But Cao Ze could feel the energy contained in it, he could feel the throbbing of his five internal organs and the cheering of his spleen!
Without any hesitation, he grasped the Earth Soul Crystal and began to practice the secret technique of the Five Elements Internal Medicine.

In an instant, streams of ochre-colored energy flowed along his arms into Cao Ze's body and finally sank into his spleen.

The essence of earth in the Earth Soul Crystal flowed into his spleen like a trickle.

The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation in the human body. It is the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of Qi and blood. At this moment, under the nourishment of the essence of the earth and the circulation and transformation of the Five Elements Internal Medicine, Cao Ze's spleen began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The spleen, which was originally ordinary, gradually became solid and powerful under the strengthening of the Earth Soul Crystal. Waves of rich earth breath surged in the spleen, as if thousands of troops were galloping. Cao Ze felt that his qi and blood became more vigorous and his energy became more abundant.

As time went by, Cao Ze's spleen was completely covered by the essence of earth.

A small earth world seemed to have formed inside his body, full of life and vigor.

Time lost its meaning at this moment. Kongcang flowed freely along with the circulation of the Five Absolute Lands. The entire world was filled with the wandering of the vital energy of heaven and earth, and the flow of the essence of earth from the Earth Soul Crystal in his hand.

I don't know how much time had passed. When the last trace of earth essence flowed into the spleen, Cao Ze suddenly opened his eyes. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes. He let out a long breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt as if his body had been reborn and was filled with endless strength.

At this moment, with the last link of the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique completed, Cao Ze's five internal organs had all completed the practice of the Five Elements Internal Medicine Technique and reached an unprecedented height.

dong... dong... dong...

As if the beating of a heart sounded in the empty warehouse, Cao Ze's five internal organs lit up one by one, the liver emitting emerald green light, the heart like a small fireball, the earthy brown spleen emitting a heavy breath, the two golden lungs that seemed to tear everything apart, and finally the aqua blue kidneys...

Swish, at the moment when all the five internal organs lit up, it was as if a hole leading to the abyss was opened in the vast lake of heaven and earth, and all the lake water rushed frantically into this hole, forming a magnificent whirlpool.

dong... dong... dong...

Following the unusual movements on Cao Ze's side, Su Xiaozhi once again felt that strange rhythm.

The next moment, her five internal organs began to function uncontrollably, and she also uncontrollably moved closer to Cao Ze. Soon, the two merged into one, and the two five-element cycles naturally linked to become the center of the vortex.

The entire land of the Five Absolutes was caught up in this peculiar rhythm. For a moment, the three five-element cycles seemed to be completely integrated into one, you in me and I in you, inseparable.

Those who were in retreat just inexplicably felt that they had gained some more enlightenment in their hearts, and the bottleneck that had troubled them for a long time actually began to loosen.

"That guy is back!"

Those who were not in seclusion looked up at the sky over the Five Absolute Lands. Although they did not see Cao Ze, they knew that he had returned!

Time loses its meaning at this moment...

The entire Five Absolutes Land was spinning frantically. The brilliant colors were like splashed paint, dyeing the entire Five Absolutes Land into a colorful vortex, as if it was a galaxy suspended in the universe. It seemed to have existed here since time immemorial, and it seemed to have existed for thousands of years at a glance...

……

In Donghai County, in a grand courtyard, a young man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing quietly. The courtyard was shaded by green bamboos, with gurgling springs, and a faint spiritual energy permeated between the quaint pavilions and towers.

The young man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated. His body was surrounded by faint white light, as if it was blending with the vital energy between heaven and earth. His face was handsome, and there was a determination and persistence between his brows, as if he was pursuing some supreme truth.

Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky and headed straight for the courtyard.

In that light, the outline of a talisman could be vaguely seen, emitting strong fluctuations of vital energy, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

The young man suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the talisman fell gently into his hand like a fallen leaf.

Looking down, I saw complicated runes painted on the talisman, emitting a faint fluorescence, as if telling some important information.

The young man frowned slightly and stared at the talisman, as if trying to decipher the mystery contained in it.

As his mind moved, the runes on the talisman began to flow slowly, turning into streams of information that sank into his forehead.

After a moment, a playful smile appeared on the young man's face.

"interesting!"

"It's interesting that he came to me for a little country boy!"

"That idiot Yuwen Qilong actually died at the hands of a country boy."

"Since he killed Yuwen Qilong, it's not impossible to save him."

The young man muttered to himself, then he squeezed his right hand hard, and the talisman in his hand turned into powder and scattered all over the ground. He also stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

……

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Cao Ze suddenly woke up from this strange state.

Only then did he realize that Su Xiaozhi had connected with him in the most primitive way at some point. The two of them curled up together, like two fish with their heads and tails connected, forming a yin-yang fish pattern in the empty space.

The Earth Soul Crystal in his hand had long since disappeared, but the solid feeling from his spleen made him realize that the Five Elements Organ Refining Technique had been completed!
Su Xiaozhi also opened her eyes as if she had sensed something, and looked at Cao Ze with her big watery eyes, full of moist light.

Obviously she gained a lot from this retreat.

But Cao Ze soon discovered something was wrong. The rich vitality of heaven and earth that originally filled the Five Absolute Lands had disappeared. Cao Ze felt as if he was standing in a large lake, but woke up to find that the lake had dried up.

Not only was the lake dry, but the bottom of the lake was covered with cracks, and there was no trace of water at all.

Cao Ze feels that the concentration of heaven and earth energy in this land of five wonders is even higher than that in the outside world.

Fortunately, the five elemental forces weakened at the same time, and the balance of the Five Absolute Land was not broken. With time, the rich vitality here can be restored.

"What's going on here?"

Su Xiaozhi obviously also discovered this problem.

Cao Ze just looked at Su Xiaozhi, already having a guess in his mind.

"Could it be because of us?"

Su Xiaozhi understood Cao Ze's eyes, and felt the power filling her body, she seemed to be thinking about something.

Cao Ze did not answer, but silently called out the panel.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Sixteenth level of body forging
Fish-Dragon Transformation (Refining the Internal Organs): Perfection (9846/655360)

Snowfall Knife (Position): Perfection
Hitting the Sea (Momentum): Perfection

Wind Shadow Step (Position): Perfection

Five Elements Refining Viscera: Perfection
Love Point: 40385】

Sixteenth level of body building!
Cao Ze's pupils shrank slightly. This retreat actually made his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the perfection of internal organ refining.

"In that case, can we start practicing the Dan Ding Jue?"

Cao Ze's heart moved.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged in the empty warehouse and began to recall the contents of the Alchemy Ding Jue in his mind.

He had studied this Kung Fu countless times these days and had memorized it by heart, but after recalling it once, he still took out the original and compared it again before closing his eyes again.

Su Xiaozhi sat down cross-legged tacitly and began to digest the gains from this retreat.

Cao Ze slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to mobilize the qi and blood in his body.

As the qi and blood circulated, his body gradually changed.

This time he did not sit cross-legged, but stood in a horse stance in the empty warehouse just like he did when he first started practicing martial arts.

His legs were rooted in the ground like thousand-year-old trees, steady and powerful, as if they had turned into the solid feet of a cauldron. His hands gradually became light and flexible, like delicate bronze ears, capturing the vitality between heaven and earth.

His torso gradually emanated a faint light, which was the energy and blood condensing, as if forging his body into a towering tripod.

The Five Internal Organs Refining Technique operates naturally, and the five elements rotate, as if they can obliterate everything, just like a hot fire quietly ignited in the body of the cauldron. That is the core of his qi and blood, and it is also the key to refining all things.

As his practice deepened, the vital energy in the courtyard seemed to be summoned and rushed towards Cao Ze's body.

They revolved around his body, as if attracted by the invisible cauldron.

Cao Ze's breathing became long and deep, and every breath seemed to resonate with the heaven and earth.

Gradually, a faint halo appeared around his body. It was the result of the fusion of blood and vital energy. In the halo, there seemed to be countless tiny runes flashing, which were intertwined together to form a mysterious pattern.

Suddenly, Cao Ze's eyes opened sharply, and two sharp rays of light shot out of his eyes.

He let out a long roar, the sound of which shook the entire Five Absolute Lands. As the roar died down, his body seemed to merge with the heaven and earth, becoming a towering cauldron that proudly stood between heaven and earth.

The vital energy in the courtyard surged into his body like a tide and was refined by the furnace fire in his body.

At this moment, he seemed to have become the master of heaven and earth, controlling the birth and death of all things.

Cao Ze was overjoyed, he had not expected that he would be able to master the Dan Ding Jue so easily, as if it were a natural progression.

In just a short period of time, he has already understood the dominance of the Dan Ding Jue. He knows that in the future he will rely on this invisible cauldron to refine all things and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts.

However, he quickly put away his skills.

The vitality of this land of five absolutes had already been sucked away by him. If he continued to practice here, he might really destroy the land of five absolutes completely.

Now this place of five wonders is no longer of much help to his cultivation, it is time to leave!
Cao Ze raised his eyes and looked towards the Five Absolute Places outside the empty warehouse, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go, but he was confident that he could keep going step by step until he reached the highest peak.

With Cao Ze's departure, other warriors in the Five Absolute Lands also drove Kongcang to the entrance of the square.

Everyone gathered at the entrance, looking at the dim Five Absolute Lands below, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.

Now that the vitality of the Five Absolutes Land is low, there is little point in them continuing to practice here.
