Liver Supernatural Ability [Contain Toxin and Digest Poison]

Compared to Childhood Stage Layer 2, the difficulty of Childhood Stage Layer 3 was undoubtedly much lower.

However, limited by the Nourishing Origin Fundamental Scripture, Li Mo could not push through in one go. He simply mobilized the Miasma Spiritual Power throughout his body and continuously battered the bottleneck.

After most of a day, when his heartbeat gradually steadied, his cultivation naturally broke through to Childhood Stage Layer 3.

The Middle Dantian expanded by twenty percent, and the spiritual power within it was compressed as well.

Li Mo felt refreshed and at ease. Every breakthrough in realm gave him a sense of being reborn, and even the Tattooed Beast benefited greatly from it.

He closed his eyes and communicated with the external spiritual energy.

He noticed that the amount of Variant Spiritual Energy spread across his body had more than doubled. Some of this energy was subtle in nature, difficult to perceive without the Corpse Spirit Root.

As an Acquired Spiritual Root, the Corpse Spirit Root's assistance to cultivation rivaled that of the ancient Five Elements Spiritual Root, greatly increasing the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.

Li Mo simply circulated the Nourishing Origin Fundamental Scripture.

Bits of spiritual energy, like swallows returning to their nest, vied to rush into his mouth and nose, drawn by the Corpse Spirit Root and surging into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

If Li Mo wanted to remove the Impure Spiritual Energy within, it was now much easier than before.

Under the effect of the Corpse Spirit Root, the spiritual energy became exceptionally docile. However, since the Miasma Spiritual Power leaned toward Water and Earth, it was limited to those three types of energy.

"Does this mean I have... a Water-Earth Dual Spiritual Root?"

Li Mo's expression turned odd.

But upon careful comparison with an Innate Spiritual Root, the functionality of the Corpse Spirit Root was nearly identical. Moreover, once he advanced to Childhood Stage Perfection and all five organs underwent Spiritual Root Transformation, the effect would likely become even more pronounced.

Li Mo stood up and tested his explosively enhanced physique within the room.

He found that he was gradually transforming in an inhuman direction. His current strength was enough to lift a several-hundred-jin yellow ox without much trouble.

Of course, for Li Mo, the most important thing was that after his blood turned to sand, his qi and blood upper limit had far exceeded that of Childhood Stage Layer 2.

The execution of Paint Green Clothes naturally became effortless.

Li Mo's lips curled upward. While painting to calm his mind, he diverted his attention to deciding which organ to undergo Spiritual Root Transformation at Childhood Stage Layer 3.

After a moment of hesitation, the Miasma Spiritual Power enveloped the liver in the upper right abdomen.

The Book of Fortune simultaneously flipped to the sixth page. The liver was directly imprinted onto the blank page, signifying that a new divine ability was gestating.

Li Mo had some understanding of the five organs.

The liver was primarily responsible for detoxification, and it could even affect the absorption of medicinal properties. It was the organ that offered the most obvious assistance to his current cultivation.

"Sss..."

Li Mo's scalp went numb. A piercing pain shot through his liver, directly interrupting the Circulation Cycle of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, like a swarm of ants devouring his liver.

He paused his meditation and took out the artifact refining tools he had purchased from Yi Bao Pavilion.

He had already memorized the Basic Artifact Refining Method and had also bought a diagram for a Low-grade Magic Tool, which recorded the refining method for the "Golden Sand Diagram."

The diagram for a Low-grade Magic Tool was practically given away at Yi Bao Pavilion. After all, if more cultivators couldn't be introduced to artifact refining, low-grade materials would have no broad market.

Li Mo knew that if he passed out, he would wake up at least ten days later.

He couldn't let the inn's room fee go to waste.

The Basic Artifact Refining Method was indeed quite rudimentary. It involved using spiritual power to nourish the material, removing its impurities, and refining it into an Artifact Embryo.

The difficulty lay in the need for extremely strong control over one's spiritual power.

Since the Miasma Spiritual Power leaned toward the Water-Earth Attribute, the materials Li Mo had purchased from Yi Bao Pavilion were similar—the hide of an unknown Pseudo Bizarre Beast.

The surface of the hide was covered in barbs, and the residual flesh appeared crystallized. A faint Earth-attribute spiritual energy could be clearly sensed emanating from it.

Li Mo's palm stroked the hide as the Miasma Spiritual Power slowly surged into it.

After a sizzling sound, the hide began to shrink. The fat and flesh beneath the skin turned into black smoke, and the hide grew increasingly charred.

Under the nourishment of the Miasma Spiritual Power, traces of refinement appeared on the hide.

Li Mo raised an eyebrow.

He couldn't believe it had gone so smoothly. Even for an Artifact Embryo, many Artifact Refiners needed dozens of attempts to reach Entry Level.

But Li Mo realized that the reason he could refine the impurities from the hide so quickly was likely due to the extreme purity of his Miasma Spiritual Power, combined with the control granted by his Eidetic Memory.

He endured the intense pain and continued to focus entirely on refining the hide.

The hide grew thinner and lighter, though the blood vessels and meridians remained intact. Eventually, it became an Artifact Embryo as delicate as cicada wings.

Outside the inn window, the autumn rain fell without end.

After Li Mo refined the three hides he had on hand into Artifact Embryos, the autumn rain still hadn't stopped. It had only taken him two days.

He had failed only once, a success rate that would make many Artifact Refiner apprentices hang their heads in shame.

Li Mo picked up an Artifact Embryo to examine it. It was nearly indistinguishable from ordinary rice paper. He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Is it done?"

It was only then that he realized.

As the Book of Fortune imprinted more and more organs, granting him the blessing of various divine abilities, Li Mo's talent and aptitude would continue to grow.

Li Mo set the Artifact Embryos to dry near the window.

The magic tool he was about to refine required a certain amount of time to air-dry, allowing the artifact embryo to gain sufficient toughness.

Refining the finished magic tool was not troublesome, after all, it was only a Low-grade Magic Tool.

Following the diagram recorded in the Golden Sand Diagram, he would grind the metal spiritual materials into powder, then draw the Sand River on the Metal-Earth Attribute artifact embryo.

With Li Mo's painting skill, it was effortless.

Once his artifact refining level was sufficient, he could attempt to cultivate the Primordial Acquired Dao Body.

Taking advantage of his free time, Li Mo examined the already imprinted liver; the divine ability he obtained was not unexpected.

It was called "Contain Toxin and Digest Poison."

This divine ability not only enhanced the absorption of Pills but also allowed him to detect toxins within the body and gradually dispel them through Contain Toxin and Digest Poison.

Li Mo could now see that the divine abilities awakened by the Book of Fortune were all auxiliary in nature.

He activated Contain Toxin and Digest Poison, using inner vision to scan his flesh, blood, and bones, and could see his body structure, which was different from ordinary people.

Li Mo swept his awareness roughly over his organs, and when his consciousness reached his Brain, his expression suddenly turned grave.

He paused in disbelief for a long time; even with his Leakless Body, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

The color of his Brain was somewhat dull and dark—this was a sign of corpse transformation.

Li Mo was already over fifteen years old, so the initial appearance of the Death Sickness was normal, but the problem was that there were scattered black spots on the surface of his Brain.

The black spots were clearly caused by metal toxins, indicating that he had unknowingly been eroded by some unknown method of the Ziqi Sect.

Fortunately, the metal toxins could be suppressed by Contain Toxin and Digest Poison, though dispelling them would require slow, painstaking effort.

"Pills?"

If the toxins were contained in the Pills, it would be easier to handle, as the source would be clear.

But he vaguely guessed that the Pills were probably fine, after all, most of the Rogue Cultivators poisoned in the Heart Beast Black Market couldn't afford Pills.

Li Mo swallowed the Corpse Brain Pill without hesitation, and after feeling the Spiritual Root Transformation of his liver, he stared intently at his Brain with his consciousness.

As a result, his Brain did not worsen in toxicity due to the Pill.

"The trouble is serious; the metal toxins are probably spread throughout the air."

Strangely enough, Li Mo learned through Contain Toxin and Digest Poison that the main harm of the metal toxins was affecting the nerves, and with the physique of an Eternal Life cultivator, it couldn't possibly be life-threatening.

He deeply suspected that the poisoning might only cause some hallucinations.
