Da Xuan Martial Saint

Through cultivating the Qiankun Artistic Conception and refining the Six Viscera Inner Breath, he gradually enhanced his ability to wield the power of Heaven and Earth, step by step reaching levels of eighty, ninety, and even surpassing a hundred. Even if his Solidifying Refinement was not on par with those grandmasters, he could still face them head-on in a direct confrontation!

"The refinement of the Six Viscera needs to speed up."

Chen Mu closed the system panel, helped Xu Hongyu to her feet, and then went to the corner where he rummaged through a wooden box and pulled out a wilted vine that was brownish-yellow in color, resembling a spiritual object.

This was a spiritual object he'd obtained after slaying many protectors of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and dealing with its branch division, a more rare "nourishing" type compared to other Viscera Refining spiritual objects like the Five Elements Orb, used for nurturing the Six Viscera.

Yan Jingqing no longer required this object, so he simply took it for himself.

The battle with the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion not only led others to mistakenly believe he was greatly affected by Demonic Qi, unwittingly saving him from many troubles that could arise later but also gained him an extremely valuable Cold Soul Spirit Blade and a portion of a "nourishing" vine for the viscera named "Yellow Turtle Vine."

Let's put aside the Cold Soul Spirit Blade for the moment; the Yellow Turtle Vine was indeed needed by him at present. Having just stepped into the Viscera Realm, he was at a stage where his strength had no bottleneck and could rise in many aspects. He just hoped to avoid any troubles and be able to engage in steady cultivation for as long as possible, and the Yellow Turtle Vine, undoubtedly, would aid in the progress of Viscera Cultivation.

Based on the previous cultivation experience in the Five Viscera Realm,

it is very likely that the experience required for cultivating the Six Viscera Sutra listed on the system panel would still be "Medicinal Power." If that were the case, then his assimilation of nourishing type spiritual objects would, just like in the Five Viscera Realm, be far more efficient than that of ordinary people.

"Is my husband going to nourish the viscera?"

Xu Hongyu, now dressed in a fresh skirt and blouse, had not yet reached the Five Viscera Realm where her body would be untainted by filth. However, as her cultivation was focused on the Kan Water Artistic Conception, keeping her body free from dust was quite simple.

Hongyu recognized the preciousness of an herb like the Yellow Turtle Vine.

"Hmm, let's see how effective the medicine is."

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

Looking at the Yellow Turtle Vine and then at Chen Mu, a hint of worry flashed in Xu Hongyu's eyes as she said, "Using spiritual medicine to nurture the viscera, wouldn't it... affect your body, husband?"

"It won't be a problem."

Chen Mu looked at Xu Hongyu and reassured her.

Despite being unaffected by Demonic Qi—a fact he could share with Xu Hongyu and others without worry of them revealing it—it's always best to have as few people know as possible. The fewer threats to himself, the safer he would be, and likewise, people such as Xu Hongyu and Chen Yue would also be safer, not drawing trouble due to him. Therefore, he didn't go into detail with Xu Hongyu.

Chen Mu looked at the Yellow Turtle Vine in his hand.

He previously contemplated whether to wait until he settled in the State Government Office before attempting to use it, but decided there was no need. After all, it was just one portion of the Yellow Turtle Vine—no longer a treasure worth extreme regard to someone at his current level.

The value of just the Cold Soul Spirit Blade alone could trade for several portions of the Yellow Turtle Vine.

If not for the reluctance to be embroiled in conflicts, he even had the wicked idea of plundering all the branches of various sects and factions in Yu County. However, there was no need to push himself into the limelight.

With his cultivation progress, merely another two or three years of stable enhancement would be a huge leap in power; even he didn't know what realm he could reach by then.

Anyway,

his current goal was to maximize his cultivation efficiency, striving to increase his strength as much and as quickly as possible.

With the Yellow Turtle Vine in hand, Chen Mu soon rummaged through another medicinal box, finding pre-prepared auxiliary spiritual medicines that would be combined with the Yellow Turtle Vine.

At this stage of nurturing the viscera, even auxiliary materials could be called "Spiritual Medicine," all of which were precious items. This batch was entirely drawn from the resources of the Demon-Slaying Office—also known as the Seven Profound Sect's resource depot.

They were no longer available for purchase in ordinary apothecaries.

Sizzling!

Chen Mu's fingers moved in quick succession, sprinkling the herbs until they dissolved into powder and then mixing together, subsequently enveloped by a bubble of clear water. Out of nowhere, Blazing Flames rose and roasted them, amalgamating and converging the Medicinal Power.

"I heard that the refinement of spiritual medicine meant for nurturing readjusts more intricacies than ordinary Medicinal Powder. Some masters of medicine who are proficient in pharmacology can produce spiritual medicine with an effectiveness several times more potent than that made by the average person."

As Xu Hongyu watched Chen Mu perform the Refinement, she spoke softly.

"Hmm, there are indeed grandmasters of medicine in the Seven Profound Sect, but let's not wait. It's just one portion of the Yellow Turtle Vine. If there were seven or eight portions, it might be worth a visit to request their personal Refinement," said Chen Mu.

Although he said this, in truth... familiar with what grandmasters of medicine? Absolutely not.

No matter how formidable a grandmaster of medicine is or how proficient in pharmacology and adjustments, can anyone ensure 100% absorption of Medicinal Power? Clearly, such a thing does not exist. With the system panel in front of him, discussions of medicinal effects and absorption are simply foolish.

Soon,

the medicinal liquid floating in the air was condensed and melded into a small medicinal clump, which then drifted toward Chen Mu. He swallowed it in one gulp, sending it down his esophagus into his stomach, where it quickly dissolved.

Unlike the previous intake of Viscera Refining spiritual objects, the nature of this nourishing spiritual object was much more "gentle," spreading slowly towards the Six Viscera at a notably gradual pace.

Compared to the Five Viscera, the Six Viscera have a certain "inertness," hence the refinement of the Six Viscera can be more appropriately called "nurturing." It should be soft rather than forceful, gradual rather than rushed.
