Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1770: 450: Yuan Nurturing Five Viscera Scripture, Beast Tide Rises Again! (part 2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Upon reaching perfection, this cultivation technique does more than just offer resistance against poisons and elixir toxicity; it also extends the cultivator's life span by a full decade.
Achieving the second level of mastery leads to the purification of the five internal organs. This process nurtures the Five Qi Origin, granting another ten years of life. Furthermore, during desperate situations, this Five Qi Origin can be converted into mana to mend physical trauma.
This Five Qi Origin serves an additional purpose by assisting in realm breakthroughs. It provides a helpful boost when attempting to reach Foundation Establishment or when advancing through the initial, middle, and late stages of a realm.
If a cultivator pushes the "Yuan Nurturing Five Visceral Art" to the third level, the five internal organs return to their source. This trigger causes a transformative baptism that expands both the meridians and the dantian, effectively raising one's innate potential.
Furthermore, if the third level is perfected during the Core Formation stage, a cultivator can burn their Five Qi Origin to increase the odds of successfully forming a core by ten percent!
The fourth level is accessible only after Core Formation. Once mastered, the Five Qi manifest like dragons, and the internal organs undergo another transformation. This stage adds sixty years to the cultivator's life and allows the organs to store mana and life origins, acting much like a second dantian.
Lu Changsheng found himself most captivated by the fifth level, which returns the organs to an innate origin state to unlock the Primordial Divine Treasure!
While this divine treasure differs from the Kidney Divine Depository he previously opened using the Divine Hidden Pill, the underlying principles share many similarities.
Every time a Five Internal Organs Divine Storage is opened, the specific organ gains a powerful divine skill.
If all five Original Divine Treasures are unlocked and the technique is fully mastered, the practitioner gains five unique divine skills. Additionally, their physical body, mana, and latent talent are significantly boosted, raising the probability of reaching the Nascent Soul stage by ten percent.
"If a Body Refining Cultivator practices this technique, it can complement each other, achieving twice the result with half the effort..."
Although not strictly a Body Refining Technique, this cultivation method maintains a deep connection with the physical form.
Whether a practitioner uses the "Yuan Nurturing Five Visceral Art" as a foundation for body refinement, or an existing Body Refining Cultivator adopts this art, both will find their progress doubled with half the exertion.
"In the future, I can let Xiao’er and Wangshu practice this technique."
Lu Changsheng viewed this as an excellent auxiliary cultivation method.
Even though it requires a significant time commitment, the investment is worthwhile for those pursuing the dual cultivation of magic and body.
In fact, Lu Changsheng believed every disciple of the Lu Family should attempt it.
There is no pressure to reach the highest tiers; mastering the second level is quite sufficient.
Reaching the third and fourth levels would depend entirely on an individual’s talent, comprehension, and personal fate.
For Lu Changsheng himself, reaching those middle levels would also consume a great deal of time.
As for the fifth level, unlocking the Five Original Divine Treasures requires a vast array of Heavenly Spirit Medicines, which were currently beyond his reach.
Lu Changsheng didn't dwell too much on the technique. Upon reaching Dragon Fish Island, he sought out his son, Lu Qingshan, to inform him of his departure.
"Going out? Father, are you planning to go to the ’Vast Sand Illusion Realm’?"
Lu Qingshan’s eyebrows shot up in curiosity as he watched his father prepare the Great Luo Sword Embryo for a long journey.
Despite having only recently achieved Core Formation, his status as a Nascent Soul seed within the Jinyang Sect gave him access to many secrets of the cultivation world.
The recent pause in the Liangyue War, for example, was due to the anticipated opening of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.
Seeing his father leave with such a powerful weapon led him to assume that was the destination.
"No, your older brother encountered some trouble outside, and I’m going to see what’s going on."
Lu Changsheng replied with a shake of his head.
He had actually weighed the pros and cons of entering the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm].
With his current strength, partnering with Azure Phoenix True Monarch would make the risks manageable.
While it was known as a Nascent Soul level trial, Nascent Soul cultivators rarely fought to the death unless a top-tier treasure appeared; typically, it was the Core Formation cultivators who died while hunting for Nascent Soul opportunities.
Ultimately, he decided against it because he feared his performance would draw too much unwanted attention from other Nascent Soul experts.
His current status would be seen as a massive opportunity for many high-level cultivators.
The Great Luo Sword Embryo, in particular, was a supreme treasure that would be instantly recognized if he drew it.
While he wasn't afraid of a fair fight against a single Nascent Soul cultivator, facing a monster like Xuanjian True Monarch or a coordinated group would be dangerous.
Furthermore, while the Michen Banner or Life-Substituting Talismans could save him in the outside world, their effectiveness might be restricted within a Secret Realm.
"Older brother?"
Lu Qingshan was well aware of Lu Ping’an’s reputation.
Even back at the Foundation Establishment Stage, his brother's body refinement was comparable to the third rank. Even Qingshan's own sword had failed to pierce that defense, which was truly remarkable.
He asked with concern, "What happened to older brother?"
"The situation is a bit complex, and I’m not entirely sure; do you have any questions about your cultivation recently?"
Lu Changsheng chose not to go into detail, shifting the focus to his son's progress instead.
Understanding the seriousness of the situation, Lu Qingshan shared his current thoughts and obstacles regarding his path.
Even with the "Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture" in his possession, Lu Changsheng’s ability to guide Lu Qingshan’s specific Sword Dao was limited. He could only offer broad insights based on his vision and understanding of cultivation concepts.
In reality, it would be more beneficial for Lu Qingshan to study the Great Luo Sword Embryo directly.
However, Lu Changsheng needed the weapon for his upcoming journey and couldn't leave it behind.
Lu Changsheng suggested that Qingshan could observe the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine at home later, which might provide some inspiration.
After settling his affairs, Lu Changsheng spoke with Ling Zixiao, Nangong Mili, Meng Xiaochan, and Hong Lian before departing for Bi Lake Mountain on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
...
Ten days passed.
A silhouette appeared quietly at the peak of Bi Yun.
"Changsheng, Sister Ling sent a message, indicating that the deep sea is in turmoil, and there seems to be a beast tide appearing..."
Just as Lu Changsheng arrived at Bi Lake Mountain and prepared to leave with the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Miaoge approached him with the urgent news.
"A beast tide?"
