Chapter 459: Chapter 87 Liver Cleansing, Cleansing Stinky Lung

In the center of the Primordial Spirit Cave, An Jing stood up, with the Taibai Star behind his head moving in reverse order, and the Lotus Platform in front of his chest vibrated slightly, as the Demon Core at its top emitted a brilliant white light.

The light of white Geng Metal burst from the Demon Core as a fine thread, like silk, but as it extended farther, it became increasingly wider.

At its end, casting upon the four walls of the Primordial Spirit Cave, the Golden Qi had grown several feet wide, its sharpness unparalleled. With a mere gentle sweep, it inscribed mysterious golden patterns on the walls that seemed to elaborate on the method of condensing the splendor of Taibai’s celestial refinement through thousands of refinements and uses of gold.

The essence of Innate Geng Metal, guided by the Seven Fiend Heavenly Mandate, had merged with the Demon Core and settled in the center of the Sword Lotus.

The Demon Core thus became the hub of the Sword Lotus, thoroughly refining the nascent form of the magic treasure.

"It’s accomplished."

An Jing smiled and raised his right hand. The Sword Lotus, interwoven in silver and light gold, was energized by his Essence Qi, ringing with a clear chime like a thousand weapons clashing.

Then it transformed into a wheel of plain white-gold radiance and entered the center of An Jing’s chest.

Once inside his body, An Jing felt a profound, ocean-like Golden Qi nourishing him in return.

An Jing’s Taibai Luminous Godly Ban had already reached the level of the second prohibition in Qi Refinement. If he had used all three wads of Xuanyuan Pure Light obtained from killing Demon Shedding to advance, he could have reached at most the sixth or seventh prohibition.

This time, An Jing had used two wads of Xuanyuan Pure Light to accelerate the refining of the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus. Failure would lead to losses, but success would result in a windfall.

As it was now, all the organs in An Jing’s body, refined by the Divine Prohibition, were like thirsty travellers who had trudged through the desert for months and suddenly came upon an expansive oasis, eagerly absorbing the Golden Qi brought by the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus. The prohibitions within his body swiftly grew in strength.

However, An Jing had long before rendered his body’s prohibitions perfect and flawless, so after absorbing a large amount of Golden Qi, they had no choice but to exhale it.

Between this exhalation and inhalation, the Golden Qi originating from the Sword Lotus was branded with a trace of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, spreading throughout every minute meridian in An Jing’s body, filling the tips of his limbs, his hair ends, fingertips, and the extremities of his blood vessels and nerves.

But this was not the end because An Jing began to cycle his five viscera and six bowels again, absorbing Golden Qi, then exhaling it, repeating the process of respiration and circulation.

The Golden Qi flowed like a vast, endless river through the meridians and orifices of his body, reaching his head, coursing through his limbs and organs, and then returning to the Dantian after cycling through his five viscera and six bowels.

The third of An Jing’s Three Prohibitions, one of the Seven Souls known as the ’Corpse Dog’, also gradually reached perfection during this unthinking tempering process.

Body’s Life Soul, Heart-Devouring Thief, head’s Corpse Dog.

The Three Prohibitions were achieved, and the progress of the Fourth Prohibition also soared rapidly.

The Fourth Prohibition pertained to the ’liver’, the Innate foundation of the human body, corresponding to the ’Liver Cleansing’ among the three of the Seven Souls. It also served as the metabolic hub, the root of Yuan Qi, and the great furnace of the human body.

While living, whether through eating and breathing or through cultivation and respiration, one must encounter various Qi of heaven and earth.

Some are Spiritual, others Fiend; some are clear while some are turbid; some pure, some polluted. Therefore, as long as one lives in the world, one is constantly absorbing impurities into the body.

Once this prohibition is cultivated, regardless of Spiritual Fiend, clear or murky, clean or impure, all will be smelted by An Jing’s liver, leaving only the essence and expelling the rest. This also endowed An Jing’s spirit Qi with a certain self-cleaning ability, making it difficult to be tainted by other spirit Qi.

To cultivate this prohibition, one must temporarily stop the human body’s blood circulation and the absorption of all spirit Qi, relying solely on Fetal Breathing for self-reliance, which demands a high reserve of spirit Qi for the cultivator.

But what An Jing lacked least was the reserve of spirit Qi.

Setting aside the fact that he practiced Immortal Martial Arts and his body’s storage of spirit Qi was already double that of others, the Golden Qi stored in the Sword Lotus and Demon Core alone was more than enough for An Jing to refine his liver three or four times over with plenty to spare.

Soon, the Fourth Prohibition "Liver Cleansing" achieved perfection, and An Jing, without any hesitation, advanced to the Fifth Ban "Lungs."

The lungs are the source of a hundred Qi in the human body, corresponding to the fourth of the Seven Souls "Stinky Lung," and they are also the foundation of strength.

So-called breath and strength, Qi is needed for strength; every breath of a mortal fuels their strength, which is transmitted through the blood to the limbs and body only with breathing.

And having perfected this prohibition, connecting the previous "Heart," "Head," and "Liver," the heart transmits the Spiritual Fiend, the head controls the Spiritual Fiend, the liver refines the Spiritual Fiend, utilizing nature’s spiritual energy several times more efficiently than before, and this efficiency will continue to increase with the perfection of the prohibitions.

As long as he keeps breathing, An Jing’s strength will be inexhaustible, and the recovery speed of his Spirit Qi will greatly increase.

The lungs represent metal, and An Jing’s whole body’s Golden Qi matches this perfectly. He didn’t have to worry about any taboos; he accumulated enough to succeed quickly, almost instantaneously refining and completing the "Cleansing Stinky Lung."

By now, An Jing had completely mastered the first five Qi Refining Prohibitions, forming a minor cycle with "Heart," "Head," "Liver," "Lungs." Four of the Seven Souls had been achieved, and the remaining three prohibitions ’Kidney Sparrow Yin,’ ’Spleen Non-toxic,’ ’Gallbladder Subdued Arrow,’ as well as the final ’Life Qi,’ all had minor achievements; future cultivation would thus require much less effort.

Bone chimes resonating in unison, internal organs operating like thunder, Qi from the whole body boiling and gushing out from orifices and pores, transformed into a layer of silver and gold mist, enshrouding An Jing, like a cocoon or pupa.

This was not the result of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, but a technique An Jing realized from the Demon Core.

Now, he was using the principles of the Dragon Storing Bottle and the Demon Core to integrate the thousands of strands of Golden Qi in the Sword Lotus into his body’s Demon Core, refining it into his own internal Dragon Bottle, preparing for the future potential achievement of "True Spirit Blood - True Dragon Cocoon."

Conveniently, a trace of Dragon Qi left by the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding was absorbed by An Jing, and this place was also the perfect melting furnace, facilitating this polishing transformation!

This process would take a considerable amount of time.

Even with An Jing’s talent, it took a full three days to complete.

As a Demon Core similar to the Dragon Storing Bottle, but even more mysterious, formed atop the Sword Lotus, An Jing opened his eyes, and a sharp Sword Light flashed, instantly leaving two sword marks on the far-off walls of the Primordial Spirit Cave, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly, suppressing the Evil Qi that was leaking from his body.

Once he gained full control over his power, An Jing stepped forward, his robust strength causing the cocoon of Golden Qi encircling him to shatter, and, with his breath, it was once again absorbed into his body.

"Worthy of being an Immortal God level Body Refining Technique... internal and external refining is truly powerful!"

An Jing took out the Tyrant Sea Blade, and he fearlessly grasped the blade of the magic treasure used by the Martial Artist Grandmaster with his hand.

Instantly, a grating scraping noise was heard, and as long as no Spiritual Power was input, this Magical Soldier could not harm his body!

An Jing began to infuse the Tyrant Sea Blade with an increasing amount of Spiritual Power, until the Dragon Bottle fed it with Spiritual Power almost on par with that of a high-level Qi Refinement; then the Tyrant Sea Blade faintly revealed a Sharpness that could injure An Jing.

But this was just a hint of sharpness; if one truly wanted to break An Jing’s skin and cause bone-deep injuries, even a Ninth Layer Qi Refinement practitioner wielding a Magical Soldier would find it difficult; it would take a Grandmaster personally taking action to achieve that.

But An Jing had only used his body; he had not even utilized the Protective Body of the Sword Lotus.

If he added the formative magic treasure to his protection, An Jing could say that, without using Divine Skill Tokens and Divine Weapons, a Martial Artist Grandmaster facing him would be like encountering an iron hedgehog with no way to bite through!

If An Jing completes the Nine Prohibitions and enters the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus becomes a true magic treasure, then not even Purple Mansion Divine Skills would pose a threat to him.

"This gain is beyond imagination!"

Having completed the Five Bans, An Jing’s physical body now far surpasses that of an ordinary Ninth Layer Qi Refinement cultivator, and even Martial Artists with perfected Divine Abnormalities can’t surpass him in physicality.

Only someone with the same Body Refinement talent, divine prowess techniques, or a genius with special bloodlines can qualify to challenge him.
