Chapter 224: First hearing of the Five Organs Will Condensation Method (Please subscribe)

Inside the main hall.

Hua Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen: "Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation is different from general organ cultivation methods. General organ cultivation methods sequentially refine the five organs until the five organs are connected, and then use the Qi of the five organs to nourish the spirit weapon. Borrowing the power of the spirit weapon, the true Qi is released externally—this is what is called being Ranked."

"This is the path taken by general martial artists. Besides this, there are some relatively genius martial artists whose organ cultivation methods are also different from general martial artists, just like the extreme martial arts path you originally walked."

"The extreme martial arts path walks the path of Qi and blood. With abundant Qi and blood, there is no need to borrow a spirit weapon. Relying on the abundance of one's own Qi and blood, plus the energy contained in the five organs, one condenses martial arts will."

Regarding what the Dean said, Lin Chen was not surprised. These martial arts knowledge had already been popularized by his teacher when he was in Linhu Village.

Condensing martial arts will is the sign of being Ranked.

Da Liang's original martial artists relied on their own powerful Qi and blood and the power of the five organs to condense martial arts will. Later, predecessors researched borrowing the power of spirit weapons, using the five organs to nourish the spirit weapon, snatching a wisp of the spirit weapon's power to cultivate their own martial arts will.

"Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation—in the first turn, you only need to refine one of the five organs. When you refine two, you then perform the second turn. And when you have refined all five organs, your body has not reached a perfect state; there are still four turns waiting for you. If you cannot carry through these four turns, you will create another record."

"What record?"

Lin Chen was very curious. Shouldn't it be creating a record after carrying through? Can one create a record without carrying through?

"Invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage!"

Lin Chen:?

"You will forever stop in the Organ Cultivation Stage, or perhaps rely on other methods to be Ranked later, but Ninth-Rank will be the limit."

Lin Chen was silent for a few breaths, raised his eyes and asked: "Dean, then what if the disciple succeeds in the nine turns?"

"The sky is high for birds to fly, the sea is wide for fish to leap. As long as you don't die, the True Martial Hall of the nine nations will have a place for you!"

"True Martial Hall?"

"The True Martial Hall is still far from you; ten years later is when you should consider it."

Hua Hua Qianwu did not talk much about the True Martial Hall and continued: "Tell me about your current martial arts cultivation situation."

Aiming at Lin Chen, Hua Hua Qianwu was prepared to set up a special cultivation set. Walking the Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation, one could not follow the way of general academy disciples, or even those geniuses, to cultivate.

"Yes."

Lin Chen pondered for a while and summarized his current martial arts situation: "Disciple's cultivation method is Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation. In addition, I also cultivated the self-created Wind and Cloud Palm, which is based on the Water Cloud Palm and the Clear Wind Palm. Also, I cultivated the Gale Leg Technique..."

Hua Hua Qianwu's expression did not change; he had already seen this information.

"Besides this, disciple also cultivated the Zhenyue Spectrum. However, before coming to the academy this time, disciple went to Huangshan, and the situation of the Zhenyue Spectrum changed somewhat. According to my grand-teacher, the current Zhenyue Spectrum is a body-tempering cultivation method."

"Grand-teacher, body-tempering?"

Hua Hua Qianwu captured two key words in Lin Chen's words.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi, who guided disciples in the Martial Hall back then, worshipped the Huang family head as his teacher. According to seniority, disciple calls the Huang family head grand-teacher. Grand-teacher informed me that the Zhenyue Spectrum is not just a hard-body cultivation method, but also a body-tempering cultivation method. Disciple also performed some cultivation in Huangshan."

Lin Chen did not hide his experience in Huangshan from this Dean.

When he left the Huang family back then, his grand-teacher did not say that he was not allowed to disclose the body-tempering matter.

He was going to the Canglan Wu Yuan, and the academy instructors were going to cultivate him, so they naturally had to understand the cultivation methods he practiced.

His grand-teacher could not have not known this, yet he did not urge him not to tell the academy, which meant he allowed him to inform the academy.

If it were an ordinary academy instructor, he would have to consider whether it would cause the leakage of the Huang family's secrets, but with the Dean level, there was no need to worry about this point.

Hua Hua Qianwu nodded, considering it understood why Lin Chen called him grand-teacher.

Lin Chen learned the Huang family's martial arts cultivation method, and Yu Yu Jiaoxi, who was of great help to him, worshipped the Huang family head as his teacher; it was indeed appropriate to call him grand-teacher.

As for body-tempering...

"Extend your hand."

Lin Chen extended his hand as told. Hua Hua Qianwu did not hold Lin Chen's finger like Jia Jia Nanzhu did back then, but flicked his right middle finger in the air, and a wisp of wind shot into Lin Chen's elbow.

The moment the wind touched his elbow, Lin Chen clearly saw the muscles in his elbow sink, and this wind actually penetrated the skin and drilled directly into the meridians of his arm.

The wind walked from the elbow through the shoulder, and wherever it passed, the Qi and blood all stopped moving. Fortunately, the speed of this wisp of wind was very fast; it traveled through his entire body in just one breath, and finally dissipated at the sole of his right foot.

"It is indeed body-tempering. You have truly surprised this seat."

Hua Hua Qianwu didn't know what to say. One Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation was already enough to give him a headache, and now another body-tempering came.

"Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation can make you invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage, and body-tempering can also make you invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage. These two added together..."

Lin Chen took over the sentence: "Invincible in the nine nations?"

"Mm?" Hua Hua Qianwu's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you can truly do it, you are indeed invincible in the nine nations."

"Dean, then how should I continue to cultivate this body-tempering?"

"To continue cultivating the body-tempering path, you need the energy contained in the clouds and mist in the Huangshan you mentioned. I think your teacher should have gone to investigate. I will also contact Lord Kong's side; don't be in a hurry about this matter for now."

"Are there any others?"

"Disciple also cultivated an archery technique, which was passed down by my teacher, named 'Fear of Death Arrow'. In addition, there is a Long Ying Bow. Yu Yu Jiaoxi said that the bowstring of this bow was refined from the tendons of a Flood Dragon."

Lin Chen took out the Long Ying Bow from behind his back. Hua Hua Qianwu took it and plucked it lightly with his hand, and there was actually a sharp dragon roar.

This sound made Lin Chen's eardrums tremble.

"It is indeed a good bow!"

Hua Hua Qianwu returned the Long Ying Bow to Lin Chen: "Do you intend to use the bow and arrow as your spirit weapon?"

"Mm."

Lin Chen nodded. Choosing the bow and arrow was something he had thought about carefully. In terms of physical strength, relying on body-tempering and Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation, he was not inferior to any martial artist.

And the bow and arrow could make up for the short board of long-range, and because of the three-fold folding of this Long Ying Bow, it should also be used as a weapon in close combat.

"Dean, do you mean that I cannot exert the full power of this Long Ying Bow now?" "You can exert at most one-tenth now. If you are Ranked, perhaps you can exert three-tenths. Just now, if I had killing intent when I plucked the bowstring, you would have been bleeding from your seven orifices long ago."

Hearing the Dean's words, Lin Chen looked at the Long Ying Bow in his hand. It seemed he had still underestimated the power of this Long Ying Bow.

No wonder when Yu Yu Jiaoxi knew he chose the Long Ying Bow, he gave him the archery technique and also got him Flood Dragon True Blood.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi, can't disciple be Ranked through spirit weapon nourishment?"

Lin Chen asked the doubt in his heart. No one stipulated that walking the Nine Turns True Blood Organ Cultivation meant one could not nourish a spirit weapon.

"This involves martial arts will. Do you know what martial arts will is?"

"Disciple does not know."

Lin Chen shook his head. Yu Yu Jiaoxi hadn't told him about martial arts will.

He understood Yu Yu Jiaoxi's idea. If he told him all the martial arts knowledge, then when he arrived at the academy, he would just be coveting the academy's resources, and the academy instructors would not have the sense of accomplishment of guiding him.

Anyway, once he arrived at the academy, there would naturally be instructors to inform him of these things; knowing about them a little later didn't matter.

"Martial arts has two barriers: the Open-Acupuncture Stage nourishes Qi and blood, while the Organ Cultivation Stage refines the five organs. The five organs nourish the will. Before the spirit weapon cultivation path came out, Da Liang martial artists relied on their own powerful Qi and blood and the energy of the five organs to let the will take shape."

"To condense martial arts will, one needs the body to reach a perfect state. This state has nothing to do with the strength of one's own Qi and blood or even the degree of refining the five organs. Follow me."

Hua Hua Qianwu led Lin Chen to the back hall. In the back hall, there was a giant sand table with dozens of glass bottles on it, five in a set, and the size of each set was different.

"The path of ordinary martial artists to being Ranked is this first set of five glass bottles. Although the glass bottles are smaller than the other sets, as long as you fill these five glass bottles with sand..."

Speaking of this, Hua Hua Qianwu grabbed a handful of sand with his right hand and instantly filled this set of five glass bottles with sand.

The sand overflowed, and the five glass bottles began to rotate. Every time they rotated, mud and sand flowed out from their bottoms, flowing toward the middle area of the five glass bottles.

In the middle area, a glass bottle of the same size appeared at this moment. The mud and sand flowing out from the bottoms of the five glass bottles all flowed into this bottle, and the mud and sand in the bottle continued to grow.

When no more mud and sand flowed out from the bottoms of the five glass bottles, this last glass bottle that emerged from the bottom was also filled with mud and sand.

"This is the evolution process of martial arts will. Do you understand?"

Lin Chen pondered for a long while, looked at the other sets of glass bottles, and nodded: "Disciple understands. To condense martial arts will, it is not to reach the limit of the body, but to let the five organs of the body reach a perfect state of balance."

"Not bad, this is the so-called five organs resonance!"

Hua Hua Qianwu was very satisfied with Lin Chen's understanding ability and continued: "The stronger the body, the harder it is to reach this balance. This is also the reason why there were not many Ranked martial artists before the founding of our Da Liang. And later, the spirit weapon cultivation method was created, which is actually to make up for the imbalance of the five organs..."

This time Hua Hua Qianwu grabbed another handful of fine sand and put it into the five glass bottles, but the action was very casual. The height of the fine sand in the five glass bottles was different, and none of them were full.

Subsequently, Hua Hua Qianwu grabbed another handful of gold sand from the other side and put the gold sand into the five glass bottles, making the height of the sand in the five glass bottles reach the same, and all reached the height of the bottle mouth.

The five glass bottles rotated again, also flowing out mud and sand, falling into the sixth glass bottle.

"Limited by a person's innate factors, there is a difference in strength in the five organs, or in the process of acquired cultivation, the five organs cannot reach balance. And the spirit weapon is like this gold sand, which can make up for the imbalance of the five organs. Martial artists do not need to spend time to make up for the imbalance between the five organs; the spirit weapon will make up for it itself, and it can also condense martial arts will."

Easy to understand!

Lin Chen had a deep understanding of the relationship between martial arts will and the five organs this time.

He thought this sand table was also used by the academy to explain the relationship between the five organs cultivation and spirit weapons to the disciples.

"Now you should understand that when you practice one of the five organs to the limit, it is like choosing a large bottle mouth, then the other four must also keep up. In this way, the progress of being Ranked is not as good as ordinary martial artists."

"Nine Turns Organ Cultivation Method, a total of nine times. The first time you cultivated the heart, if the second time you cultivate the spleen, then at the second turn, the heart has turned twice, much stronger than before. This represents the heart's bottle mouth having to be much larger. According to this method, when you refine the five organs, you also reach the fifth turn. Your five organs are also extremely unbalanced."

Hua Hua Qianwu picked out five glass bottles, each of different sizes.

"Only when the five organs are balanced and the five organs resonate can martial arts will be condensed. And the subsequent four turns are actually to let your five organs reach balance. While strengthening the five organs, it will also make up for the gap. Missing one turn will not work."

Hua Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen: "Many who cultivate the Nine Turns Organ Cultivation Method fail because they cannot bear the pain behind the turns, making the five organs unable to balance, unable to condense martial arts will."

"Dean, if this is the case, then after the fifth turn, can't you just nourish a spirit weapon? Like your previous operation, make up for the gap of the five organs."

Lin Chen recalled the Dean's operation just now and thought of a solution.

"Spirit weapons are not so easy to get. Let's put it this way: ordinary martial artists only need to nourish one spirit weapon to make up for it, while you need to nourish almost one hundred spirit weapons to make up for this gap."

"Spirit weapons are not that easy to obtain. Let's put it this way: an ordinary martial artist can make up for the gap by nurturing one spirit weapon, but you need to nurture nearly a hundred spirit weapons to make up for this disparity."

"When a martial artist nurtures a spirit weapon, the first step is to choose which weapon is suitable for them, and then find the materials to forge that weapon. Taking a sword as an example, for martial artists who condense a sword as their spirit weapon, some have the most severe imbalance in their kidneys. The kidneys govern water, so they must use water-attribute materials to forge the spirit weapon."

"When I say you need to nurture a hundred spirit weapons, I don't mean you really go and nurture a hundred, but that you must bridge this gap. The cost of the spirit weapons you forge is enough for an ordinary martial artist to forge a hundred, and this is just my rough estimate; the reality can only be worse."

Hua Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen, his expression very serious: "Some precious materials for weapon refining are hard to come by. Without ten years, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect them all. And if you are slow to enter the Ranked Tier, your martial potential will be consumed... Without the Wu Yuan, and given your family background, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to support yourself in finding these materials. The final result is very likely that you will be trapped in the Organ Cultivation Stage, unable to move forward."

Lin Chen's expression tightened. He understood the Dean's meaning. This was a reminder that the reason he didn't need to worry about cultivation resources now was because he had the potential of a genius, and both the Martial Administration Department and the Wu Yuan were willing to invest in him.

But once he failed to live up to that genius potential, the Martial Administration Department and the Wu Yuan would no longer give him any resources, and with his own family background, collecting spirit weapon materials would be a distant, indefinite prospect.

It was cruel, but also very real.

Even if Lord Kong was willing to give him some support out of personal sentiment, from the perspective of the Martial Administration Department, it was impossible to break the rules for him multiple times.

Hua Hua Qianwu saw Lin Chen's silent, contemplative look, and felt a bit of doubt in his heart—was he being too severe?

The reason he spoke so severely and told Lin Chen the consequences was to hope that Lin Chen would not have a fluke mentality. To cultivate the Nine-Turn Organ Cultivation Method, one must have the courage to move forward without looking back. If he still held a fluke mentality, he would definitely not be able to persist to the end.

In fact, if Lin Chen could persist to the sixth turn, even if he really couldn't persist through the last three turns, Lord Kong would still cover for him.

It's just that in this way, Lin Chen would change from a super genius who might leave his name in the True Martial Hall to an ordinary genius within Daliang.

"Since you have chosen this path, don't think too much, just walk it step by step."

Hua Hua Qianwu interrupted Lin Chen's contemplation: "Since you have chosen me as your instructor, I will conduct special training for you. You don't need to follow the routine like other new disciples. Rest well for these three days. I will prepare the medicinal materials you need to refine the true blood of the flood dragon, and at the same time, I will draw up a separate training plan for you."

"Enjoy these three days in the Wu Yuan well. It won't be so easy after three days."

Regarding Lin Chen's cultivation plan in the Wu Yuan, Hua Hua Qianwu had already arranged it, but now that he knew Lin Chen had also taken the path of Body Forging, it had to be changed.

The original arrangement was already cruel and strict; the arrangement after the change would only be more cruel!
