Chapter 438: Chapter 296: Five Viscera at Great Success, Complete Transformation! The Duel Begins, Grand Event of Water and Earth (Part 3)

[Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture · Five Viscera Chapter]

[Skill Level: 3/24000 Great Success]

[Description: You purify impurities, sense heaven and earth, and cultivate the Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture · Five Viscera Chapter to great success. All five viscera and six bowels are enhanced: the liver connects to the eyes, the heart connects to the tongue... Attain the "Five Senses Clarity" trait. The five viscera circulate, uniting heaven and earth, bestowing the "Whole Body Baptism." The five viscera strengthen, mechanisms are extraordinary, attaining the "Transforming Miasma into Essence" characteristic.]

Li Xian greatly benefits, but feels his senses become instantly sharp. Every hair’s movement on his body is distinctly clear. Possessing "Heavy Pupils," his eyesight is already incredibly terrifying. With this fortune, it’s merely icing on the cake, pleasing yet not necessarily exciting.

But the enhancement of the "ears," "tongue," "nose"... all senses is a great improvement. He sits down nearby, as five colors of light flicker from his five viscera, undergoing whole body baptism.

Strong viscera mean a strong body. During this whole body baptism, hair, skin, membranes, bones... every part of his body receives fortune and transformation. Li Xian’s skin is fair, his black hair thick, his divine demeanor hard to describe.

He possesses the "Perfect Appearance." The first time he shed his clay embryo, revealing his true form, it bore slight resemblance to this moment. Li Xian suddenly senses something, raising his hand to grab among his hair.

Dozens of nearly invisible silk threads drift in his palm. Li Xian shivers, startled and afraid, and with his extraordinary senses, removes the silk threads from his hair.

He recalls his past escape. When Wen Caishang embraced him, she placed the silk. This silk is as thin as a hair, with a very unique texture, imperceptible to touch, unchanged by washing, once entangled, impossible to escape.

Li Xian sighs lightly, "Had I not accidentally arrived at the Water Altar, how could I have escaped Madam’s grasp? I indeed underestimated Madam, blessings or curses, it’s truly hard to say." Thinking of Wen Caishang’s breathtaking grace, he couldn’t help but sigh gently.

Yet he also feels fortunate. Now that the silk is discovered, with heaven vast and earth wide, Wen Caishang will find it hard to locate him again.

He then has an inspiration and conceals the silk into the "Heaven and Earth Box." It may have another use in the future.

After the whole body baptism, Li Xian suddenly pauses, laughing: "Such ability indeed?" Closing his eyes to sense, from outside the vermillion gate, surrounding noises come.

It turns out...

Li Xian’s fourth characteristic of the Martial Arts Second Realm, "Rooting Hair," is very different from others. Fallen hair has a mysterious connection to him, inheriting his five senses. And the "Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture," cultivated to great success, enhances these senses as the five viscera connect to five orifices.

These characteristics and martial arts mutually complement each other. After the whole body baptism, hair quality is strengthened. "Rooting Hair" roots deeply into the ground.

In this way, many mystical connections... Li Xian’s "Rooting Hair" five senses significantly improve.

He can vaguely hear conversations, faintly see figures, even sense through the earth, understanding the soil’s fertility and the ground’s basic condition.

This fortune yields many benefits. He also gains the "Transforming Miasma into Essence" trait, allowing him to intake natural miasma, and by processing it with the five viscera, instead enhance his physique.

However, if the poison is too strong, it should not be consumed recklessly.

[Bone Shaping and Embryo]

[Skill Level: 6/100]

Essence of heaven and earth digested, his bone structure slightly transforms. Li Xian’s breathing is continuous, inhaling slowly. Again he raises his spear to practice the technique, until noon, when there is a feeling at the side door, Han Zisha and Tang Feng come to find him.

Li Xian asks, "Elder Han, Elder Tang, what are you looking for me for?"

Han Zisha responds, "You are pretending not to know."

Tang Feng laughs, "You’re dueling tomorrow, and the elders of the Water and Earth Altars will be watching. Chief Shi sent us to have a look at you, familiarize you with the area, so you won’t be nervous or flustered."

This matter only required Tang Feng to come, but Shi Yufei, recalling the close relationship between Li Xian and Han Zisha, had Han Zisha accompany him. Li Xian smiles: "In that case, thank you both for the care."

Han Zisha asks, "I heard, what exactly is your relationship with Chief Shi? He seems quite invested in your duel."

Li Xian thinks: "If I explain too clearly, and she finds out I’m just pretending to be stronger than I am, she will certainly try to seize my bee farm and orchard." He smiles faintly: "There’s not much of a relationship."

Han Zisha rolls her eyes, saying: "Who would believe you?" Curious, she adds, "Brother Hua, be honest, this elder can give you some pointers, ensuring you win this duel."

Tang Feng laughs, "Elder Han, stop probing. Let’s bring Brother Hua to see the arena and prepare for tomorrow’s duel."

Han Zisha, annoyed, rolls her eyes and says: "Mind your own business." Though extremely curious, she restrains herself from asking more.

The three go together to the Inner Island’s "Martial Arts Platform." Around them, grand banquet tables and flowing round tables are being set up, as if for a feast.

Tang Feng laughs, "Hao Qingshe insists the event must be grand. Chief Shi already agreed. But for the duel, the result can be swift or last a while. If it’s just for this, gathering everyone to watch seems unjustifiable."

"Conveniently, the elders from the Earth Altar arrived at the Water Altar a few days ago. Chief Shi decided to host the banquet tomorrow. The Martial Arts Platform will become the Red Sleeve Platform, with song and dance aplenty. At the end, you and Zeng Xiaoke will have your duel."

Li Xian understands, "I see!"

Han Zisha says, "Tomorrow you will sit here." She points to a table.

The Martial Arts Platform is adorned with red banners and colorful lights. Tables are set around it, each with one seat, and cushions behind for sitting. Further out are round tables for regular Order Holding Disciples.

Tang Feng says, "Even without the duel, it’s a meeting of both altars, a grand event. Relax, enjoy the food and drink, and during the duel, if you win, great. If not, protect yourself as best you can."
