Master of Strange Dao

His Qi Sea, which had never been used before, showed signs that it could be filled.

Upon thinking briefly, Yu Ziqing understood that this thing was naturally most convenient for Qi Refining cultivators to use, just like the Demon Clan.

But he had never practiced Qi Refinement at all.

To just give up like that, Yu Ziqing was certainly not willing.

According to Old Yang's words, on the day when the moonlight was strongest, the Gengshen day, which occurs once every several decades to a hundred years, combined with the day when the Emperor's Liquid appears according to the Demon Clan's calendar, coalescing into one day.

Such an event might not happen even once in a thousand years.

With a shift in thought, Yu Ziqing steeled his heart; today, no one's words would matter, and as for other things, he could forgo taking them, but the food that heaven had fed to his mouth, if he didn't open his mouth, didn't extend his hand, it would be a sin to reject heaven's gift.

The human body is an integrated balance, with no need to be separated in any particular way.

According to Yu Ziqing's understanding, that so-called Qi Sea could indeed be treated as an orifice without a problem.

The Blood Sea could also be considered an orifice all the same.

The Blood Sea is just the central place where the Qi-Blood circulates, much like the heart. If it's merely for storing Qi Blood Power, his orifices could also store it, and as long as he spent the effort to expand it, it might not necessarily be worse than the Blood Sea.

So if he treated the Qi Sea as an orifice, and slightly altered it according to his own understanding, refining it a bit, there really wouldn't be an issue.

Resolute, Yu Ziqing mobilized the Qi Blood Power and struck at the position of the Qi Sea.

Its internal space was narrow, hollow, and most of the time, closed off.

Yu Ziqing forcefully pried it open; worst case if something went wrong, he wouldn't practice Qi Refinement anymore, since he hadn't planned on Qi Refinement anyway.

Qi Refining cultivators were targeted not just by the environment, but by various Dharma Methods, and now even by the simplistic weapons of Jinlan Mountain.

What's so good about practicing Qi Refinement?

With Qi Blood Power washing over the Qi Sea, stabilizing and expanding it, his Qi Sea, which had never been refined, could not withstand such turmoil.

It split open right then and there, signaling its protest.

Yu Ziqing mobilized the light of Creation to heal it and complete the transformation, while simultaneously drawing in a touch of Heavenly Tribulation power, continuously tempering it.

Under the cooperation of the three powers, the Qi Sea split and then recovered, recovered and then split, continuously growing, just like Yu Ziqing's other orifices.

When the expansion was almost complete, Yu Ziqing swallowed an Emperor's Liquid, conveying it fully into the Qi Sea.

Indeed, the Emperor's Liquid was more stable there.

In other orifices, it wouldn't work. As soon as it entered, it would naturally shatter, turning into pure power, which could only be digested, and any that couldn't be digested would be wasted.

Yu Ziqing opened his eyes, while continuing to mobilize the three forces to expand and strengthen, he rushed towards where Old Yang was.

He couldn't let Old Yang hog it all; what's the point of giving it to the Evil Dragon? That would be just the same as wasting it.

Even if the Evil Dragon ate the Emperor's Liquid for a year, it would have no chance of reviving or advancing again.

Better to give it to himself.

"Old Yang, share some with me," Yu Ziqing said.

"..." Old Yang glanced at Yu Ziqing, sighed helplessly, and said, "I knew you couldn't give it up. How did you do it? Don't tell me, your orifices can now conveniently store some Emperor's Liquid?"

"Ordinary orifices indeed can't do it, but there's an orifice called the Qi Sea. I strengthened and modified it a bit, and it indeed can," Yu Ziqing said.

"Since when was there an orifice called the Qi Sea... Uh, you turned the Qi Sea into an orifice?" Old Yang's voice suddenly rose.

"Aren't names given by people? In the past, they said the human body has seven hundred and twenty orifices; I now insist on counting the likes of the Blood Sea and the Qi Sea as well, stating there are seven hundred and twenty-three. How about it? Not possible?" Yu Ziqing challenged.

"Fine, fine, fine…"

Old Yang was speechless. This guy really dared to do anything.

To store the Emperor's Liquid, he was not afraid of ruining the Qi Sea. Was he really never going to practice Qi Refinement again in the future?

Qi Refinement after all is the most orthodox path of cultivation, the very main trunk.

From that huge funnel, Old Yang diverted some of the Emperor's Liquid towards Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing stood on the spot, mobilizing Qi Blood Power, stretched out his arms, spread his legs, and slightly crouched his waist, as if embracing a large pill.

A massive amount of olive-shaped Emperor's Liquid continuously streamed toward him, circling endlessly in his embrace before finally entering the site of the Qi Sea.

In that circling, some Emperor's Liquid shattered, transforming into Yin Yang power, slowly revolving in Yu Ziqing's embrace, cycling again and again, forming a Tai Chi Diagram without the Yin Yang Eyes.

Yu Ziqing closed his eyes, focused on collecting, letting nature take its course.

Old Yang took a glance, saw Yu Ziqing's posture and aura, and was briefly startled. He immediately increased the flow, supplying more Emperor's Liquid to Yu Ziqing.

Gradually, he saw the pattern in Yu Ziqing's embrace spinning faster and faster until at its extreme; the pattern seemed to suddenly come to a halt.

On each of the Yin Yang Fish, a Yin Yang Eye appeared.

In a moment, a profound harmony emerged within Yu Ziqing's embrace.

The Emperor's Liquid that was streaming down swiftly, seemed to calm down, disappearing into the pattern.

After pondering for a moment, apart from what he himself needed to consume, Old Yang kept increasing the flow of what was originally intended to be digested by the corpse of the Evil Dragon, so as to not waste the Emperor's Liquid, continually supplying it to Yu Ziqing.

Yet, Yu Ziqing's aura did not show any increase.

As though those vast amounts of Emperor's Liquid, which even a Demon God would find hard to digest, all vanished.
