239: Chapter 240 Internal Organs Roaring! A Humanoid Furnace!

Inside the Blood Pool, Lin Qi's grand "Alchemy" project was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Successfully refining his heart was only the beginning.

That reborn heart, like a powerful engine, began to provide a continuous stream of power for his subsequent actions.

Scalding blood and Qi were pumped throughout his body, nourishing his already "dead" Physical Body and maintaining cellular activity at a delicate equilibrium.

It was not completely necrotic, but neither was it truly "resurrected."

This bought him precious time.

"Step two: Refine the lungs!"

Lin Qi's consciousness calmly turned toward the next target.

The lungs govern respiration.

In martial arts theory, the strength of the lungs is directly related to the duration of a Martial Artist's breath and the output of their power.

A profound breathing technique could even allow a Martial Artist to hold their breath underwater for a short time or fight in oxygen-deprived environments.

The "Turtle Breathing Technique" mastered by Lin Qi was a prime example.

Now, what he needed to do was forge these mortal lungs into a "bellows" capable of containing the Qi of heaven and earth!

His intent reached toward the suppressed energy within his body, which possessed a sharp, metal-like attribute.

"Metal is said to follow and change; its nature is rigid, and its flavor is pungent."

This energy was even harder to control than the previous fire-attribute energy.

It was full of cutting and piercing sensations; any slight carelessness would cause his lung lobes to be shredded.

"Brute force won't work; I must follow its nature."

Lin Qi's consciousness once again demonstrated Martial Saint-level control.

He didn't use "Martial Intent" to hammer it directly as he had before.

Instead, he split off a finer thread of intent, like a probing tentacle, and cautiously touched the mass of golden energy.

Buzz!

The golden energy immediately vibrated violently, releasing countless tiny, invisible sharp gusts of Qi, attempting to sever his thread of intent.

"Powerful indeed."

Lin Qi's consciousness was delighted rather than alarmed.

The more ferocious it was, the better the results after forging.

His thread of intent did not resist head-on but instead followed the trajectories of those sharp gusts, beginning to "caress" them gently.

This wasn't confrontation; it was guidance.

He integrated the Profound Truth of the "Turtle Breathing Technique" into his own intent.

One exhale, one inhale.

One contraction, one release.

His intent, carrying a unique rhythm, began to resonate at the same frequency as the golden energy.

Initially, the golden energy's reaction was very intense, completely refusing this "recruitment."

But Lin Qi had plenty of patience.

His consciousness was like the most experienced beast tamer, repeating the process over and over without tire.

Slowly, the golden energy's struggle began to weaken.

It seemed to "feel" that this unique vibrational rhythm was beneficial to it, making its energy structure more stable and condensed.

It began to shift from passive resistance to active cooperation.

"It's done."

Lin Qi's consciousness seized the opportunity.

His intent instantly strengthened; no longer probing, it completely enveloped the golden energy, guiding it through a cosmic orbit according to the path of the "Turtle Breathing Technique."

With each revolution, the sharp aura of this golden energy was refined by a fraction, transforming into a purer, indestructible "Geng-Metal Qi."

The moment the transformation was complete, Lin Qi unhesitatingly guided the Geng-Metal Qi, now fully under his control, toward his lungs.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The Geng-Metal Qi surged into his lungs, making faint sounds.

The fragile alveoli were destroyed under the scouring of this energy, only to be instantly reorganized under the nourishment of the powerful blood and Qi pumped from the heart.

Destruction followed by creation!

With each reorganization, the structure of the lungs became tougher and denser.

A faint metallic luster even appeared on the surface.

When the entire process ended, Lin Qi's lungs were no longer mundane organs of flesh and blood.

They were more like works of art meticulously crafted from some unknown divine metal.

If he wished, a single breath could vacuum all the air within a hundred-meter radius!

A single breath exhaled would be like a sharp sword unsheathed!

...

Cloud Top Palace, Monitoring Center.

"It stopped again!"

"The vibration frequency has stopped this time!"

All the monitors held their breath, staring intently at the screens.

The strange curve representing "Law Resonance," after maintaining a steady and powerful "heartbeat" for a while, returned to silence once again without warning.

But this time, it didn't return to zero.

Instead, it became an absolute straight line, completely motionless.

"What's happening? Is it over?" a young monitor whispered.

"No... look at that!" Elder Mo's finger pointed to another screen.

It was the sub-screen that had previously displayed "Law Stability."

At the same time the "Law Resonance" stopped, the "Law Stability" curve, which had been slowly declining, suddenly doubled its rate of descent!

If before it was like a faucet dripping...

...then now, it was as if someone had turned the faucet halfway open!

"He's... he's accelerating the absorption!" Elder Mo's voice was trembling. "He finished the first stage of the transformation; now he's starting the second!"

"The first stage was the heart, representing 'Fire' and life force."

"Then the second stage... what will it be?"

Instructor Su Qing's gaze swept back and forth between several screens.

She didn't understand those complex martial arts theories.

But from these cold data points, she could sense an indescribable, tyrannical vitality.

That man was using a method none of them could comprehend to reforge a divine body for himself within the abyss of death!

...

Inside the Blood Pool.

After refining his lungs, Lin Qi did not stop for a moment.

His consciousness, like a highly efficient craftsman, immediately began the third step.

"The liver belongs to Wood; it governs dredging and stores blood."

"The kidneys belong to Water; they govern the storage of essence and the reception of Qi."

"The spleen belongs to Earth; it governs transport and transformation and generates blood."

With the experience from the first two times, the subsequent process became much smoother.

He followed suit, using his intent to guide the various attributed energies of the true dragon relic blood toward their corresponding organs one by one.

He used the gentle Wood-attribute energy to nourish and repair the liver, enhancing its blood-generating and detoxifying functions.

He used the long-lasting Water-attribute energy to nurture and strengthen the kidneys, making them a "treasure house" for storing life essence.

He used the heavy Earth-attribute energy to forge and consolidate the spleen, making it a "transit station" for transforming energy and nourishing the entire body.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!

Under the guidance of his martial will, the five major organs completed a transformative metamorphosis one after another.

Each organ shimmered with a different colored precious light.

The heart was crimson like fire.

The lungs were bright white like metal.

The liver was emerald green like wood.

The kidneys were mysterious black like water.

The spleen was thick yellow like earth.

The five-colored precious lights reflected each other within his body, faintly forming a perfect cycle.

The Five Elements generate each other!

Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water generates Wood!

A complete, self-consistent internal circulation System had formed within his body!

Boom!

The moment this cycle formed, Lin Qi's entire body shuddered violently.

The violent true dragon relic blood energy within him, which he previously had to suppress by force with his intent, seemed to find an outlet at this moment.

They were actively and frantically drawn in by this newly born Five Elements cycle.

Then, like a giant millstone, the cycle crushed, decomposed, and transformed them bit by bit into the purest Five Elements Qi, replenishing the corresponding organs.

His body transformed from a "container" passively receiving energy infusions into a "furnace" capable of actively refining energy!

A Human Furnace!

And Lin Qi, who had been silent at the bottom of the Blood Pool for a long time, suddenly snapped his eyes open at this moment!

Two rays of tangible golden light shot from his eyes, carving two deep channels directly through the golden pool water!
