382: Chapter 382 Fourth Rank!

And in the center of the liver, a Wood-Attribute Seed, emerald green and dripping with vitality, with tiny phantom leaves flickering in and out of existence within it...

...was slowly rotating, breathing in and out pure wood-attribute true qi.

Simultaneously, a simplified Spirit Gathering Array was branded onto the surface of the liver lobes, absorbing faint wood-attribute energy from the surroundings to nourish the seed.

"Wood-Attribute Seed, formed!"

Qin Yan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the vitality within his body grow increasingly robust; even his spirit fatigue had been significantly alleviated.

"As expected, the first step is always the hardest; this is an absolute truth, especially in cultivation."

Qin Yan exhaled slowly, feeling the newly born, life-filled embryonic form of wood-attribute true qi within him, sighing with emotion in his heart.

The feeling of walking on thin ice and nearly exhausting all his strength while refining the Gold Seed was still fresh in his memory.

While refining the Wood Seed also required full concentration, the entire process was clearly much easier and smoother.

This wasn't just an improvement in experience, but a tangible advantage brought about by prior planning and the principles of the Five Elements' generation and overcoming.

After a brief period of breath regulation, Qin Yan began the next round of refining without hesitation.

This time, he took out an Earth-Attribute Spirit Medicine.

Wood overcomes earth.

With the powerful Wood-Attribute Seed already in place, the introduction of the earth-attribute medicinal power was even more stable.

Earth governs heaviness and containment; its medicinal power was thick and condensed, guided by the wood-attribute vitality to slowly gather in the spleen.

Although the process was slightly slow due to the characteristics of the earth attribute, it was exceptionally steady.

Ultimately, the spleen turned earthy yellow, as heavy as a mountain, and a steady, solid, earthy-yellow seed emitting the aura of the earth condensed in its center.

Next was the Water-Attribute Seed.

Earth overcomes water.

With the constraint of the heavy earth attribute, the water-attribute medicinal power, which might have otherwise flowed wildly and been difficult to control, became perfectly submissive.

Water governs downward moisture and ultimate softness; its medicinal power was cool and enduring, gathering in the kidneys.

Finally, the kidneys turned a deep blue, like the still waters of a deep pool, and a clear, translucent azure seed, appearing to contain rivers within, condensed in the center.

Finally, the Fire-Attribute Seed.

Water overcomes fire.

Under the restraint of the ultimately soft and cold water attribute, the fire-attribute medicinal power, which was originally the most violent and difficult to tame, became much "calmer."

Fire governs upward heat and explosiveness; its medicinal power was scorching and surging, gathering in the heart.

For this final step, Qin Yan still didn't dare to be careless, guiding it cautiously.

Ultimately, the heart turned crimson, like an eternally burning furnace, and a pulsing crimson seed emitting heat and light condensed in the center.

The moment the Fire-Attribute Seed completely took shape and resonated with the other four seeds—

...time had quietly reached the afternoon.

Qin Yan used his Mental Energy to look within himself, and an unprecedented and strange sight was presented before his eyes:

The lungs were a brilliant platinum, as if forged from divine metal, with golden patterns flowing on the surface; above them, the gold-attribute seed hovered, breathing out sharp white light.

The liver was a translucent emerald, like carved jade, with wood patterns growing on the surface; in the center, the Wood-Attribute Seed rotated, emitting vibrant vitality.

The spleen was an earthy yellow and heavy, like condensed earth, with steady earth patterns on the surface; at its core, the Earth-Attribute Seed bobbed up and down, releasing the power of containment.

The kidneys were a deep, dark blue, like an ancient well in a cold pool, with water patterns rippling on the surface; inside, the Water-Attribute Seed shone, flowing with the rhythm of ultimate softness.

The heart was a fiery crimson, like an eternal source of fire, with fire patterns dancing on the surface; in the center, the Fire-Attribute Seed pulsed, bursting with scorching light.

The five viscera each had their own color and form.

And the main meridians throughout his body had now completely transformed into radiant "Five Elements Spirit Meridians"!

The meridians were no longer a single color, but presented a magnificent scene of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow interwoven and flowing endlessly.

They were tough, flexible, and incomparably clear, like rainbow bridges connecting heaven and earth.

"It's time... Draw qi into the body, the birth of true qi!"

With a thought, Qin Yan fully operated the core mental cultivation method of the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture!

"Five Elements Primordial Scripture, rotate!"

With his shout, the five Five Elements seeds in the center of the five viscera all erupted with light!

The white light of gold, the emerald light of wood, the yellow glow of earth, the blue radiance of water, and the crimson flame of fire—the five-colored brilliance soared, interweaving into a magnificent and grand scene within Qin Yan's body!

At the same time, Qin Yan's perception seemed to be instantly magnified and refined countless times!

The surrounding air, which was originally "empty," became "multi-colored" in his current perception!

Countless extremely tiny spirit qi motes of various colors, like stars in the night sky, floated in the air.

Gold-attribute spirit qi was like fine metal dust, shimmering with a cold light;

Wood-attribute spirit qi was like bright green motes, carrying the fragrance of plants;

Earth-attribute spirit qi was like a heavy yellow glow, thick and steady;

Water-attribute spirit qi was like azure dewdrops, cool and clear;

Fire-attribute spirit qi was like crimson sparks, warm and dancing.

Qin Yan's mind moved slightly.

The wandering Five Elements spirit qi motes in the air were attracted one after another, converging toward him like birds returning to their nests.

Upon entering his body, the spirit qi was immediately captured, sorted, and guided by the interwoven five-colored "Five Elements Spirit Meridians."

Gold spirit qi flowed into the gold meridians toward the gold lungs and Gold Seed; wood spirit qi flowed into the wood meridians toward the emerald liver and Wood Seed...

As it flowed through the corresponding Five Elements Spirit Meridians, the coarse heaven and earth spirit qi was rapidly filtered, purified, and transformed, shedding impurities and becoming incredibly pure Five Elements True Qi of the same origin as the seeds!

Strands of true qi with pure colors and distinct attributes, like trickling streams, were continuously injected into their respective Five Elements seeds.

The Five Elements seeds, which were originally just embryonic forms floating quietly, began to vibrate slightly after being nourished by the true qi of the same origin, their brilliance becoming more solid.

"Rumble—!"

As the first strand of pure Five Elements True Qi was officially generated and circulated within his body, the blood and qi throughout Qin Yan's body seemed to receive the strongest stimulation and suddenly surged!

His majestic blood and qi, like an ignited volcano, surged and roared uncontrollably, erupting from his body!

A layer of dark red blood qi, so thick it was almost physical, enveloped Qin Yan like flames!

The blood qi churned, and within it, one could vaguely see bits of five-colored brilliance flickering and leaping.

That was the vision produced by the initial contact and fusion of the New Student Five Elements True Qi and the blood and qi of the Indestructible Blood Demon Body!

The surge of blood and qi lasted for about fifteen minutes before slowly calming down after the newly born Five Elements True Qi gradually stabilized and reached a delicate balance with the blood and qi.

The dark red blood qi enveloping his body gradually retracted into him.

Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, within his originally deep black eyes, it seemed as if Five-Colored Spiritual Light flashed by like a passing swan before vanishing, restoring calm once more.

But that gaze was clearer and brighter than before, as if it could see through falsehoods and reflect the Five Elements.

He slowly raised his right hand, slightly curling his five fingers, and then clenched them.

"Crack..."

His knuckles let out a crisp popping sound, not from excessive force, but as a natural response to the overflowing sense of pure power.

An unprecedented feeling of power filled his entire body!
