“Mortals have their own limitations,” Guanyin said, showing her ability to adapt to the times. “Punches, feet, skin, and limbs are indeed easier to train than internal organs, but these ‘tools’ need strong ‘power’ support. Without sufficient ‘power’, even the strongest ‘tool’ is like a tree without roots or water without a source.”

Li Changzhou did not refute, but listened attentively.

"The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is a method passed down by sages, emphasizing the foundation. How could it be as clumsy and injure one's body as the Iron Sand Palm in supernatural tales?"

"The first step in training the internal organs is to cleanse them with qi and blood. Once you reach a certain level, you will use special techniques to remove the five internal organs from your body and then use special techniques to temper them, cultivating the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys into the five great grottoes, possessing a continuous source of qi and blood."

Removing internal organs from the body?!

What kind of Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is this? Are you sure it's not some kind of evil technique?

Li Changzhou was shocked. No wonder this technique was passed down by a sage. Who could create such a technique? Removing internal organs would kill him.

Only a sage with a broad and insightful perspective can enable ordinary people to remove and temper their internal organs without harming them.

After swallowing another meteorite, Li Changzhou assumed a fighting stance, guiding his qi and blood to cleanse his internal organs.

[Divine Body] The Qi and blood flowed mightily, like a great river surging. If it weren't for the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques", this river would have changed course, enough to destroy Li Changzhou's internal organs, leaving his abdomen in chaos and causing him to fall into serious injury.

But under the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques", the five internal organs are like reefs in the water, or like clothes clearly visible on the riverbank, gradually becoming brighter.

Unable to see Li Changzhou's physical condition, and bored with the vastness of the universe, Guanyin began reading a modern novel in her mind.

I gave up after taking a couple of glances.

For a Bodhisattva accustomed to classical Chinese and who only reads high-level Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, the writing style of this worthless Qidian author is like fireworks that have already been set off for the New Year—it has no value other than being kicked when passing by.

Half a day later, Li Changzhou's internal organs resembled five celestial stones, radiating a layer of shimmering light.

His vital energy was incredibly powerful, reaching the level of a supreme immortal among those who had attained immortality through physical cultivation. Naturally, the internal organs he expelled were extraordinary.

Breathing was easier than ever before, and after recovering from a serious illness, his whole body felt refreshed and invigorated. Li Changzhou knew that the duration of his [Divine Body] had increased.

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" Li Changzhou laughed with delight.

Seeing his smile and hearing his laughter, Guanyin couldn't help but smile as well, not because the child was cute, but because the joy he showed after hearing the truth stirred up her memories.

"Bodhisattva, quickly teach me the third move! Quickly!"

"You little rascal, don't forget about the Black Mist." She laughed and scolded, pointing at him.

Li Changzhou scratched the corner of his eye somewhat embarrassedly; he had actually forgotten the important matter.

As he transformed into black mist and devoured the meteorite, Guanyin began to teach her the third move:

"The 'Lifting the Great Cauldron of Qi and Blood' involves condensing the Qi and blood, which have been deepened and thickened through the first movement, into a great cauldron. This cauldron is then lifted by the entire skeletal system until it can be lifted easily. Once the bones have been strengthened, one can begin to practice on the external body."

Li Changzhou knew without a doubt that once the third form was mastered, the duration of the [Divine Body] would increase again!

Just as he was eager to practice the third move, the black mist had already devoured the meteorite, which was much larger than the previous two—he had prioritized devouring the smaller one.

Li Changzhou initially thought the "Hunger Law" was effective, but after a moment's thought, he realized that while the "Hunger Law" was indeed effective and the Black Mist Visualization Technique helped him advance to the first level, the real reason was that the Black Mist devoured the same substance at an extremely fast speed.

Conversely, consuming the same substances provides almost no improvement to the black mist.

Oh well, that doesn't matter anymore. Li Changzhou put this little matter aside and quickly began practicing the "Lifting the Great Cauldron of Qi and Blood" technique.

With each stance, the body's energy and blood are mobilized, and the whole body feels increasingly heavy.

A massive vortex of qi and blood swirled overhead, like lines, like cloth, like molten iron, solidifying into a nine-zhang-tall blood-red cauldron.

The crimson cauldron was only twenty-seven meters tall, as small as a speck of dust in the universe, but at this moment, it exuded a powerful presence.

This presence is due to its unparalleled power!

boom!

The crimson cauldron pressed down!

Li Changzhou felt as if his entire body was about to be crushed, his face flushed red. If he hadn't tempered his internal organs just now, he would definitely be vomiting blood by now.

Once blood is vomited, the breathing becomes disordered, and the Qi and Blood Cauldron simply cannot support it.

“This thing… you could take it out and… smash someone with it!” Li Changzhou said, emphasizing each word.

It was a strange feeling; the weight of the Qi and Blood Cauldron on his shoulder seemed to fall entirely on his bones, and he felt as if his bones were about to dislocate!

"Slowly straighten your legs. Once you've trained your bones, skin, limbs, and strength, you'll have a special fighting stance," Guanyin said slowly.

As a result, Li Changzhou focused all his attention on the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" this time, specifically to enhance the Black Mist's ability to travel far.

Guanyin saw through it, but instead of pointing it out, she cooperated with him.

In one's life, there are very few times when one can devote oneself wholeheartedly. Once this opportunity is missed, it is hard to have another one. This is why Li Changzhou held on to focus so tightly and was unwilling to switch to offensive skills.

His current state is even deeper than focus. He is not in a hurry to recover his magic power. Since that's the case, why not immerse himself in this state?

His extraordinary state of mind, focus, wisdom, and physical talent allowed him to progress rapidly in the cultivation of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," practicing each move without any obstacles.

Gradually, his slender little body began to radiate a divine glow, and a terrifying, ocean-like wave swept across the starry sky.

Li Changzhou's control over the [Divine Body] is getting stronger and stronger!
