Blood Qi Silk Transformation, Entering the Organ Refining Realm!

The snow was still falling.

Ghost Mask's flowing blood swiftly froze into ice crystals.

Even the smell of blood in the air seemed frozen solid, leaving only endless cold seeping into their bodies.

Lu Changsheng crouched down and searched Ghost Mask's corpse.

Unfortunately, Ghost Mask carried nothing but a few pieces of broken silver.

Perhaps Ghost Mask had never intended to stay on Crow Mountain for long, so he naturally had not brought much with him.

Lu Changsheng took another careful look at the mask on Ghost Mask's face.

He wanted very much to see Ghost Mask's true appearance.

So he reached out and removed Ghost Mask's mask.

Beneath it was a terrifying, ugly face.

It was clearly a face scarred by scalding or fire, a sight that inspired dread.

No wonder Ghost Mask had always worn a mask—it was to hide that ugly face.

Before long, Ghost Mask's corpse became an ice sculpture.

Lu Changsheng went over to Long Fei, lifted him directly into his arms, and headed for the cave.

The three of them entered the cave.

Lu Changsheng lit a campfire. Liu Hongluan had been shivering from the cold, but now she finally felt a trace of warmth.

"Hero Lu, how is Brother Fei?"

Liu Hongluan could not help asking.

Lu Changsheng was taking Long Fei's pulse.

After all, he had studied medicine under Doctor Wu Jing for so long. There was no problem with ordinary pulse-reading and diagnosis; what he lacked was merely accumulated experience.

"Long Fei is not seriously injured. His wounds aren't severe, but his vitality has been damaged. I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to make a full recovery."

"Boil him some medicine first and wake him up."

In preparation for entering the depths of Crow Mountain to train, Lu Changsheng had brought plenty of supplies, including a large quantity of medicinal herbs.

Once Liu Hongluan had finished brewing the medicine, she carefully fed it to Long Fei.

Long Fei woke the next day. It was as though he had had a long dream, and even after waking, he was still somewhat dazed.

But the moment he saw Lu Changsheng nearby, he seemed to snap awake. His expression changed drastically as he said, "Brother Lu, hurry and leave! Ghost Mask is catching up. He's a top-tier Organ Refining martial artist—below the Divine Strength Realm, he has almost no rivals..."

But as he spoke, he seemed unable to continue.

Because Lu Changsheng's expression had not changed in the slightest.

"Brother Fei!"

Liu Hongluan immediately threw herself onto Long Fei.

At once, she tugged at his injuries, making him grimace in pain.

Yet he still recalled what had happened before. It seemed that he had passed out on Liu Hongluan's back.

"Hongluan, what happened after I fell unconscious?"

Long Fei asked.

"Brother Fei, after you passed out, I carried you into the depths of Crow Mountain. But Ghost Mask kept chasing us. Luckily, we ran into Hero Lu..."

Liu Hongluan told him everything, recounting how Lu Changsheng had slain Ghost Mask.

Long Fei's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

He was a man of experience.

Long Fei knew Ghost Mask's strength all too well.

Even at his peak, he likely would not have been Ghost Mask's match.

Yet Lu Changsheng had actually killed Ghost Mask. This was something he had never expected.

Before, he had thought that Lu Changsheng's strength was probably on par with his own.

Now that he thought about it, he had truly misjudged him.

Long Fei let out a long sigh. "Brother Lu possesses such skill, yet remains unknown in the martial world. You have a heart indifferent to fame and profit. That is what a true martial artist should be!"

Lu Changsheng said nothing.

Could he tell him that this trip to Crow Mountain was his first time venturing into the martial world?

Even if he did, Long Fei probably would not believe him.

"Brother Long, don't speak too much. Rest and recuperate properly."

After saying that, Lu Changsheng walked to a corner of the cave.

He took out a martial arts manual called the Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique.

Lu Changsheng had already reached Jade Bone. To advance further, he could only attempt to temper his organs and become an Organ Refining martial artist!

He had previously obtained three Organ Refining techniques, so Lu Changsheng began trying to practice the Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique.

Organ Refining was completely different from Bone Forging.

Bones were ultimately hard and could withstand the constant scouring of qi and blood.

But the organs were different.

The human body's five viscera and six bowels were exceedingly fragile. If the impact was even slightly too great, the organs would be injured.

In mild cases, one would need months to recover. In severe cases, irreparable wounds would be left behind—nothing less than destroying one's own foundation.

Thus, absolute control over qi and blood was required.

Take the Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique, for instance. Its key lay in transforming qi and blood into something like silkworm silk.

This demanded an extremely high degree of control over qi and blood.

If one could not achieve it, even getting started would be difficult.

The difficulty of Organ Refining lay precisely in controlling qi and blood. Countless Bone Forging martial artists wasted decades away, their control over qi and blood still inadequate, which directly prevented them from stepping into Organ Refining.

Even if they did enter the Organ Refining realm, the results would be very poor, making it difficult to temper their organs effectively.

Following the method of the Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique, Lu Changsheng began trying to compress, separate, and control his qi and blood.

In the past, the more qi and blood he could control, the better.

But now, he needed refined control.

He had to separate his qi and blood, dividing and compressing it until it was as thin as silkworm silk.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng possessed over three hundred points of Comprehension. Separating and compressing qi and blood was not difficult; it merely took time.

After one hour, Lu Changsheng could already compress his qi and blood until it was as thin as a chopstick.

After two hours, he had separated qi and blood as fine as a silver needle.

After five hours, Lu Changsheng finally separated out a thread of qi and blood as fine as silkworm silk.

"It worked!"

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, then moved his thoughts.

At once, a wisp of qi and blood emanated from him.

Whoosh.

In an instant, that wisp of qi and blood scattered into countless strands of qi and blood as fine as silkworm silk.

Lu Changsheng's heart stirred.

Such fine qi and blood could not only temper the organs—it could actually serve as a means of attack.

"No wonder Organ Refining martial artists can control qi and blood and use such bizarre Martial Skills."

"So it is related to their refined control over qi and blood."

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

He even felt that Ghost Mask's peerless hidden-weapon techniques, which never missed their mark, were likely connected to Ghost Mask's Organ Refining Martial Arts as well.

Most likely, Ghost Mask's Organ Refining Martial Arts placed extremely high demands on qi and blood, which in turn allowed Ghost Mask to master hidden-weapon techniques of such miraculous skill.

Lu Changsheng had already transformed his qi and blood into silk, but one or two strands of silk were far from enough.

He needed to accumulate a great deal of silk.

Fortunately, now that he had mastered the method of Blood Qi Silk Transformation, it was comparatively easy to continue increasing his Qi and Blood Silk.

Another two hours passed, and nearly all the qi and blood within Lu Changsheng's body could be transformed into silk.

"It is about time to begin!"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Then, with a thought, the qi and blood within his body slowly flowed into his five viscera and six bowels.

Countless threads of qi and blood, as fine as silkworm silk, began to seep into his five viscera and six bowels, tempering them.

Boom.

Lu Changsheng felt incomparable pain in his five viscera and six bowels.

After all, the organs were far too fragile.

Even qi and blood as fine as silkworm silk still placed enormous pressure on the organs as it tempered them.

However, as time passed, Lu Changsheng gradually became able to withstand this degree of tempering.

"Huu..."

One hour later, Lu Changsheng let out a long breath. A sharp gleam even flashed through his eyes.

He immediately summoned the Attribute Panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: 367 (Quite Promising)

Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique: First Layer

Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Method: Proficient

Lu Changsheng saw that the Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique had indeed reached the First Layer.

The Silkworm Silk Organ Refining Technique could transform blood qi into silken threads, then temper the internal organs.

Once he began tempering his internal organs, it meant Lu Changsheng had successfully stepped into the Organ Refining Realm!

The current Lu Changsheng was already a true Organ Refining martial artist!
