Chapter 421: Sprit Qi Flame And Xiantian Physique (1/2)
Within Lin Mu's body, a change was happening.
The layer of impurities that had been merged with the dantian was being forcefully separated from it. This was being done by pushing out the spirit qi wisps from the dantian. Instead of letting them pass into the meridians like normally, Lin Mu was pushing them out of the pores in his dantian.
If someone else were to try this, they would likely cripple their dantian forever or even explode it. But because of Lin Mu's saturated vitality, the damage was being repaired just as it was being caused. Large beads of sweat appeared on Lin Mu's forehead, and he bore through the pain.
This was no easy task and many would have given up a long time ago. But with Lin Mu's own determination and the assistance of the severing heart sutra, he held on. Finally, the layer of impurities cracked like the shell of a hard boiled egg and a burst of spirit qi came out of the dantian.
A stream of vital energy started repairing his dantian, and he focused on removing the impurities. He couldn't remove these impurities in the normal way by coughing them out or exhaling them. They were far too dangerous and it was likely that they would taint the other parts of his body if he tried to use that route.
It was now that the voice of Senior Xukong rung out in his mind.
”Control your spirit qi wisps and condense them,” Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu knew that doing this normally would result in the spirit qi wisps being converted into liquid drops, and wondered why Senior Xukong would suggest him this, but he could not afford to doubt him now and did as he was told.
The spirit qi wisps were surrounding the 'impurity shell' outside the dantian, and Lin Mu began to condense them. He had already gotten habituated to the entire process and thus didn't have as much of a problem. But once he reached the limit of the saturation point, an uncontrolled reaction happened.
Lin Mu got anxious and was about to forcefully control it when Xukong interrupted.
”Don't! Let it happen,” He directed.
Lin Mu held on and watched as the spirit qi wisps became unstable. He had expected that they would explode, but something else happened.
~flicker~
The spirit qi wisps suddenly ignited and a yellow flame appeared. As soon as Lin Mu saw the flame, he realized what it was.
”A qi flame…” He muttered to himself.
”Yes… Now, burn the impurities away!” Xukong ordered.
