Legendary Librarian System-Chapter 134: Liver Shackles

Liu Wei could only accept the orb's reasoning, stating that Jiang Nong simply had the potential to make use of the Agricultural Domain greatly… than him.

He rolled his eyes and simply watched the orb continue to react in front of Jiang Nong.

When everything settled down, Jiang Nong was completely stunned.

He turned around and stared at Liu Wei, speechless.

Liu Wei smiled and patted his head.

He said, "Take care of yourself. This will be your home. Just ask that orb whatever you need."

Jiang Nong nodded absent-mindedly.

Liu Wei added, "Also, if you feel like it, leave this domain like how we enter and ask the library attendant if you need a cultivation method suited for you. Just tell them about what you need and the library itself will inform them about it."

Jiang Nong nodded in a daze.

He was unable to process completely what just had happened.

Just earlier, he died, alongside his parents, but now, a great opportunity befell into him.

It occurred so quickly he was still having time to process it.

Liu Wei smiled at him and fully understood his reaction.

However, Jiang Nong was not aware that he was elated than him.

After all, he finally found someone who could take care of the Agricultural Domain and finally became his chef.

He said, "Also, take your time to learn about cooking. I can still survive with tea and some bread anyway."

Jiang Nong was stunned.

His face turned serious and replied, "Don't worry, Big Brother Liu Wei! You won't just be eating bread and tea anymore. I will definitely and immediately learn how to cook."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "If you need recipes, as always, the library has it. Just ask the library attendant."

Jiang Nong was taken aback.

He nodded.

Liu Wei turned around and left the Agricultural Domain.

He was happy with today's events.

Now, he had to return to reality and began to cultivate.

…

Liu Wei decided to cultivate for three months straight.

In other words, entering reclusion until the System herself asked her to entertain another fated visitor like Jiang Nong.

Along the way of returning to his personal chamber, Liu Wei realized something that made him pause on his tracks.

By the way, System, why am I not having a customer anymore? Should we change the future customers as future visitors or learners?

The System replied, [Because you upgraded the library quickly that made the mortal unable to be worthy enough to be your customer. Unless wealthy figures like the royal family of the Kingdom of Jinwu come.]

Liu Wei nodded.

He did not regret upgrading the library quickly.

After all, what was the use of having System Points if he would not spend them?

Furthermore, it was not like he did not benefit from Jiang Nong at all.

I'll worry about System Points later on if I reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

To acquire the Core Formation Stage level of Blood Demonheart Sutra requires System Points.

At the moment, he could focus more on cultivating than acquiring more System Points.

Once Liu Wei reached the Meditation Garden, he set the Manifestation Stones, Ink-Lotus Pond, and Silent Bell in a ready to cultivate mode.

WIth them, he did not need anymore resources and did not need to risk his life to cultivate.

After all, he cultivated an unorthodox path.

Coupled with a self-destructive physique, he was able to cultivate without having to worry about losing his life.

Previously, to solidify his foundation on the early Foundation Establishment Stage in the Blood Demonheart Sutra, Liu Wei opened the Heart Shackles, requiring to open six extra meridians.

Likewise, the next organ shackles to completely open, the Liver Shackles also called Crimson Wrath Reservoir, needed six extra meridians to be opened.

Each organ shackle corresponds to one dominant emotional corruption.

In the Heart Shackle, he underwent the rage emotional corruption trial. After all, the Heart used Rage because it was born from pain and survival. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Strangely though, according to the Blood Demonheart Sutra, the Liver governs Wrath that ferments overtime, not explosive rage but suppressed anger, resentment, and violent impulse.

In other words, the governing emotion of the Liver Shackles was Wrath.

But it was not sudden rage, instead it was the stored fury, resentment, and the desire to destroy.

It was the consequence of opening the Heart Shackle.

Rage has no longer destabilized him, but it also did not disappear.

Instead, it sinks deeper.

That unspent fury, born from injustice, slaughter, restraint, and humiliation, naturally gathered in the liver, which was the organ of storage and eruption.

If left untreated, this festering wrath corrodes the meridians, poisons the blood, and eventually causes the berserk to collapse.

The Liver Shackles not only desire for wealth, but the refusal to waste power, the instinct to hoard, accumulate, and never release unless profitable…

That was the emotion corruption called Greed.

Where the heart burns, the Liver hoards.

"After completing the Heart Shackle, I have gained overwhelming Blood Qi Circulation. However, the Blood Qi floods the body faster than it can be spent. So rage alone is no longer the threat—the excess becomes the killer.

Thus, the Blood Demonheart Sutra revealed another shackle.

Rage for survival. Greed for supremacy.

It's really just strange how wrath, the embodiment of rage, turns into greed because of its extremity."

Liu Wei soon shook his head and did not dwell on it anymore.

He returned his focus on the Blood Demonheart Sutra and understood that each chain of the Liver Shackles represents a deeper layer of greed mastery, not different emotions.

The first chain was called Hoarding Instinct.

Liu Wei absorbed the Blood Qi far beyond safe limits, with the help of the Ink-Lotus Pond, Silent Bell, and Manifestation Stones, without releasing any.

Instead of venting the energy, he refused to spend it.

Liu Wei only took half an hour to completely stabilize the first chain after opening it.

At this point, the Liver began acting as a storage node and Blood Qi no longer spilled into meridians uncontrollably.

He exhaled and rested for a while.

The second chain was called Excess Endurance.

Liu Wei was quite annoyed with how to open it.

"I have to remain in a state of extreme qi saturation for days."

In the end, since he had decided to remain in seclusion for three months, days really weren't that long.

After gaslighting himself, Liu Wei spent a day and a half opening the second chain.

He refined it and the greed manifested as tolerance.

"I want more, and I will endure it."

As a result, the storage capacity increased drastically and internal pressure damage was reduced.

Now, the 3rd Chain was called Selective Release.

He must fight while using only a fraction of stored Blood Qi.

Liu Wei grumbled because of the requirements to open the 3rd Chain.

In the end, he decided to proceed to the Training Domain to open it.

"Meng Ai was there, too."

Liu Wei wanted to avoid socializing even from her, so he was thinking if there was a way for him to isolate himself in the Training Domain.

He asked the System.

"Does the Training Domain have personal rooms?"

[There are many of them, actually. Should I describe them one by one?]

"Do it."

Liu Wei decided since he has time to listen anyway while he proceeded to the Training Domain.

[Understood.]

[In the Training Domain, there are Gravity and Pressure Fields. Areas where a cultivator can adjust gravity intensity (from x2 to x100+) and atmospheric Qi pressure.

Training here strengthens body and Qi circulation under extreme strain.

For body-tempering cultivators, it hones raw muscle and bone density.

For Qi cultivators, it forces them to control Qi with precision under crushing weight.]

Liu Wei nodded.

He pondered. Meng Ai is likely to be training here, then.

The System continued.

[Next are the Elemental Zones. They are training chambers tuned to elemental environments.

Fire Zone helps cultivators practice fighting amidst flames and heat, enhancing resistance.

Water Zone enables underwater dueling, testing stamina and fluid movements.

Thunder Zone provides constant lightning strikes to temper body and weapon reflexes.

And lastly, Wind Zone manifests gale-force winds to test balance and agility.

Each zone helps a cultivator sharpen battle adaptation against elemental Dao attacks.]

Liu Wei nodded.

At the moment, the elements present in the Elemental Zones were quite limited and it was understandable since the Training Domain was still in the intermediate stage.

Furthermore, the elements present were already sufficient in amplifying the significant physical attributes of the cultivators.

The System continued.

[There are also Historical Cultivator Avatars and they are of course in a different zones.

They provide simulated projections of real cultivators from the Hall's archives.

At this level, they are basic avatars. Hence, they are not full replicas of strength, but enough to spar and learn tactics.

However, it recreates legendary martial techniques, sword stances, or body movements.

Therefore, they are useful for studying combat rhythms, styles, and counters from ancient masters.]

Liu Wei was stunned.

The Historical Cultivator Avatars might be the most valuable part of the Training Domain.

After all, to battle against an experienced cultivator and even be able to recreate their legendary martial techniques was a reward that every cultivator sought for.

If they were to choose between a legendary weapon and a chance to learn legendary techniques from a cultivator, they would likely choose the latter.

Liu Wei recalled that Elder Mo Fu seemed to be too eager to meet Senior Yan Qingshan.

He grinned.

I will definitely invite Elder Mo Fu to visit the Training Domain.

Liu Wei already knew what to do once Elder Mo Fu returned to visit.
