Chapter 101: Perfect Skin Refinement
Chapter 101: Perfect Skin Refinement
Enhance!
Gu Qingfeng didn’t hesitate for a moment.
The twenty enhancement points vanished, and in their place, the Five Viscera Meridians silently broke through to the Third Stage.
Visceral Tempering.
Abundant Qi and Blood.
Gu Qingfeng felt the transformative power within his body. His eyes gleamed with a divine light, and a powerful aura emanated from him, causing the divine weapons in the Sharpening Hall to tremble as if influenced by something.
"Third Stage of Visceral Tempering!"
Gu Qingfeng’s face remained calm and composed.
The Third Stage of Visceral Tempering.
His strength had advanced further.
As the saying goes, each step of visceral tempering is a leap in power. The successful tempering of each organ can significantly enhance one’s strength.
"However, I wonder how my current strength compares to that of a true Master!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
A Master is someone who has achieved perfection in the Five Viscera and then breaks through their own limits.
If it were a regular Third Stage Visceral Tempering practitioner, they wouldn’t have the courage to challenge a Master.
However, Gu Qingfeng had already grasped the essence of a Master.
If it were an ordinary Master who hadn’t comprehended the true essence, he might stand a chance with his Third Stage Visceral Tempering.
Of course, for now, it was just a thought.
Master-level experts were rare in the world.
He couldn’t just seek out a Master to challenge without reason.
But one thing was certain.
Gu Qingfeng was sure that his current strength was still far from that of the Evil Buddha in the Nine Twist Dao.
The Nine Twist Dao had become a forbidden land, infested with evil spirits. Even the Demon Suppression Bureau couldn’t suppress the Evil Buddha.
In the Guangyang Prefecture, the mere mention of the Nine Twist Dao struck fear into people’s hearts.
Whether it was ordinary citizens or martial artists, they all avoided the Nine Twist Dao, fearing they might become the Evil Buddha’s next meal.
In a sense, the Nine Twist Dao had become a haven for evil spirits.
Although the Evil Buddha hadn’t made much of a move so far, Gu Qingfeng was certain it wouldn’t be content to remain in the Nine Twist Dao forever.
Sooner or later, the Evil Buddha would leave the Nine Twist Dao.
When that day comes, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Gu Qingfeng needed to ensure he had sufficient strength before the Evil Buddha emerged.
...
This year, Gu Qingfeng turned thirty-nine.
His cultivation was at the Third Stage of Visceral Tempering.
If it were a regular person, breaking through to the Third Stage of Visceral Tempering at this age would likely mean they would eventually reach the Master level.
However, despite his breakthrough, Gu Qingfeng didn’t become arrogant or complacent. Instead, he focused on cultivating the Primordial Jade Canon. By the end of the first month, he successfully advanced it to the Third Stage.
At this point, both of his Visceral Tempering martial arts had reached the limits of their current stages.
Only then did Gu Qingfeng begin to earnestly study the Crimson Flame Divine Art.
He hadn’t started cultivating the Crimson Flame Divine Art earlier because he was focused on the Qingyang Technique and the Five Viscera Meridians, and couldn’t afford to be distracted.
Now that the Qingyang Technique was complete, giving him eighth-level Pure Yang Qi and Blood, his physical strength was comparable to that of a blazing sun, making it incredibly robust.
Next, Gu Qingfeng intended to cultivate the Crimson Flame Divine Art.
As the pinnacle technique of the Crimson Flame Sect and a crucial legacy of the Crimson Flame Peak, successfully cultivating it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.
Moreover, Gu Qingfeng had a premonition.
With his current state, if he were to cultivate the Crimson Flame Divine Art, he might be able to achieve the true state of perfection.
Perfect Flesh!
Far superior to any ordinary flesh.
...
Meditate on the Crimson Flame Divine Technique!
Devote all efforts to cultivation!
Although the Crimson Flame Divine Technique is a supreme martial art, the initial stages were not challenging for Gu Qingfeng. The perspective of a third-stage Viscera Cultivator far surpasses that of cultivators in other stages. Despite the difficulty of cultivating the Crimson Flame Divine Technique, Gu Qingfeng managed to master the initial stages in less than a day.
First Stage: Mastery!
First Stage: Minor Success!
First Stage: Major Success!
First Stage: Perfection!
...
Gu Qingfeng only took ten days to achieve perfection in the first stage of the Crimson Flame Divine Technique.
The moment he reached perfection, his flesh trembled violently, and his skin began to peel off layer by layer, revealing a new, flawless layer beneath.
This new skin looked no different from before, but Gu Qingfeng could feel that it was more resilient and offered significantly enhanced defensive capabilities.
"Perfect Skin!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Perfection meant true flawlessness.
Now, having reached the Perfect Skin stage, every pore on his body could be controlled at will. If all pores were closed, he could lock in his vital energy, thus extending his lifespan.
Indeed, when Gu Qingfeng checked his attribute panel, he found that his lifespan had quietly increased by a hundred years.
"Three hundred years of life!"
"If my memory serves me right, even a Congenital Sect Master has only a mere three hundred years of life. I have already achieved three hundred years of life at the third stage of Viscera Cultivation, rivaling a Congenital Sect Master."
"This shows the many benefits of a Perfect Body in locking in vital energy!"
Gu Qingfeng thought to himself.
If the Perfect Skin stage was already so powerful, achieving Perfect Blood and Perfect Bone would surely extend his lifespan further.
Next, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the remaining fourteen enhancement points and decided to allocate all of them to the Crimson Flame Divine Technique.
In an instant, eight enhancement points disappeared, and the Crimson Flame Divine Technique advanced from the first stage of perfection to the second stage of perfection.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng felt a significant transformation in his blood, truly achieving the state of blood as quicksilver, purifying all impurities.
Blood is the foundation of a martial artist. With Perfect Blood, Gu Qingfeng's strength increased by at least twenty percent.
Then, his lifespan, which was originally three hundred years, extended to five hundred years.
With a determined expression, Gu Qingfeng used another five enhancement points to elevate the Crimson Flame Divine Technique from the second stage of perfection to the third stage of mastery.
This time, he noticed some changes in his bones, though they were not yet at the perfect stage.
"Looks like to achieve Perfect Bone, I need to cultivate more martial arts that focus on bone refinement!"
Despite this, Gu Qingfeng was quite satisfied with his current Perfect Skin and Perfect Blood.
Additionally, the enhancement of the Crimson Flame Divine Technique perfectly complemented his original Sunfire Palm Technique, which was then completely absorbed by the former.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng immediately realized that the two martial arts shared a common origin.
Or rather, the Sunfire Palm Technique was derived from the Crimson Flame Divine Technique.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the two martial arts could merge and be absorbed.
This also suggested that the Sunfire Immortal, who created the Sunfire Palm Technique, likely had some connection to the Crimson Flame Sect.
