CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 67 WHAT KIND OF WEIRD MEDICAL SKILL IS THIS?

The Bright Tai Su belongs to the realm of the Mayfly Dream. After the Heavenly Soul merged into the Dao Body, Li Mo could feel the projection of the Fake Soul Consciousness would be further extended.

"Three Souls and Seven Spirits, a total of ten Divine Skills constructing the Mayfly Dream. Ultimately, could it surpass an Innate Saint?"

In a certain sense, while the Mayfly Dream leaned towards an auxiliary nature, it encapsulated all kinds of techniques in the world, its potential indescribable.

The level of Li Mo’s Medical Skill was second only to Artifact Refining, and he had invested more time researching it than Artifact Refining, which allowed the Bright Tai Su to absorb an abundance of nutrients.

He secretly activated the Bright Tai Su.

Within Li Mo’s mind, images of surgeries emerged one after another, and his expression became peculiar.

He discovered that the Bright Tai Su even referenced the traditional Chinese and Western medicine from his previous life, giving him a faint sense of expectation for the gestating Medical Magic Techniques.

The Bright Tai Su consumed Divine Sense, inevitably leaving him somewhat mentally exhausted and dispirited.

"Hoo."

Li Mo took a deep breath.

His total amount of Divine Sense had already surpassed many at the Nascent Soul Stage, yet it was still nearly depleted by the Bright Tai Su, causing an aching sensation in the Mud Pill Palace.

The benefits of the Great Sun Spiritual Power began to manifest, and the Golden Light nourished his remaining Divine Sense.

Li Mo’s groggy awareness quickly returned to clarity, and the Medical Magic Techniques started to take shape.

[Five Internal Organs Valve Structure Perfect Surgery]

[Applicable for the Dao Body Fusion of Paoxiao Swallowing Body and Ancient Sacred Body, requiring three taels of Rotten Bamboo Flower as a medium, paired with Cow Grass Seed. Once the structural transformation of the internal organs is complete, the surgery can proceed.]

"Rotten Bamboo Flower? Huh?!!"

Digesting the details of the Magic Technique, Li Mo couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

The Rotten Bamboo Flower was no ordinary Plant Spiritual Material but rather a Yin-attribute fungal derivative with transformative abilities far beyond the ordinary when it came to its environment.

Typically, once a Rotten Bamboo Flower propagated in a Chaotic Burial Mound, within mere days, the surrounding hundred meters would be covered by thick fungal threads.

As a mid-grade spiritual material, the "corrosive spores" produced by the Rotten Bamboo Flower were considered low-grade spiritual materials.

Li Mo found it hard to imagine why Rotten Bamboo Flower would be used in surgical procedures.

As for the Cow Grass Seed, it was purely the nourishment for the growth of the Rotten Bamboo Flower.

Closing his eyes, Li Mo scanned the Corpse Mountain Mini World, where Rotten Bamboo Flower could be seen scattered across the regions dense with tombstones.

"Is this Underworld Medical Skill or what?"

Li Mo retrieved a Rotten Bamboo Flower, which appeared as a gray-black flower-like fungus. A mere touch would release spores.

Li Mo sprinkled Cow Grass Seed onto the Rotten Bamboo Flower, and the latter extended its roots and stems actively.

Like a living creature, it coiled around the seeds, absorbing the nutrients while slowly growing larger.

The usage of Rotten Bamboo Flower in the Five Internal Organs Valve Structure Perfect Surgery was appalling—it involved planting the flower directly within one’s own internal organs.

As the Rotten Bamboo Flower grew, it incrementally transformed the structure of the internal organs.

Moreover, the Rotten Bamboo Flower had a peculiar trait—it could slow down the rate of decay in corpses.

After carefully contemplating, Li Mo realized that the Five Internal Organs Valve Structure Perfect Surgery was indeed beneficial, making the Paoxiao Swallowing Body closer to the Ancient Sacred Body.

The most crucial aspect was that the Rotten Bamboo Flower would stabilize the state of the internal organs, buying more time in the process.

"What the hell is this, using one’s own body as fertilizer?"

Li Mo shook his head helplessly. The Five Internal Organs Valve Structure Perfect Surgery, once further refined, could increase the success rate of Dao Body Fusion by thirty percent.

Moreover, Da Ai Mi Tian could also utilize the Rotten Bamboo Flower to influence the internal organs.

"The compatibility between Paoxiao Swallowing Body and Ancient Sacred Body is quite high, but what if I try to fuse two totally unrelated Dao Bodies?"

Curious, Li Mo wondered what kind of Magic Techniques the Bright Tai Su might create to address conflicts in Dao Bodies.

He casually chose the Mayfly Dream and Innate Saint as test subjects, utilized Replenishing God Wine to fully recover his Divine Sense, and activated the Bright Tai Su once again.

[Soul Non-Intermittent Imbalance Surgery]

[Applicable for the Dao Body Fusion of Mayfly Dream and Innate Saint. It requires a Thousand Soul Fragments as a medium, supplemented by Mother Furnace reconstruction. Once one’s soul splits, the surgery can proceed.]

"Hiss."

Li Mo let out a bitter laugh. While the Five Internal Organs Valve Structure Perfect Surgery seemed somewhat feasible, the Soul Non-Intermittent Imbalance Surgery was outright absurd.

The Soul Non-Intermittent Imbalance Surgery completely disregarded potential drawbacks. If one truly used it to complete Dao Body Fusion, they’d either go insane or lose their sanity entirely.

The surgical steps involved incorporating a Thousand Soul Fragments into the Mud Pill Palace, followed by assimilation through Fake Soul Consciousness, enabling the fragments to develop Spiritual Wisdom.

Finally, the process would culminate in the Sub-Device Sect for reforging in the Mother Furnace.

The reshaped body would grow a thousand heads, one of which would be the Saint Head.

Once the Saint Head devoured all the remaining heads, the Mayfly Dream would give birth to the Saint Soul, forcibly linking it to the Innate Saint.

Li Mo silently sealed away the Soul Non-Intermittent Imbalance Surgery, deciding to steer clear of such whimsical surgeries to live a longer life.

"Bright Tai Su is not omnipotent. If the Dao Body lacks compatibility, the Medical Magic Techniques must forcibly create commonalities between the Dao Bodies."

While continuing his cultivation, Li Mo proactively controlled the medicinal power of the Nourishing Yuan Fruit to nourish Da Ai Mi Tian.

Since Da Ai Mi Tian could influence Dao Body Fusion, it was imperative to promote his Lifebound Magical Treasure to the mid-grade level before attempting surgery.

Additionally, achieving Perfect Core Formation with the Great Sun Golden Core was highly desirable.

The utility of Divine Sense spanned across numerous aspects.

The Ancestor Platform had no seasons, and Li Mo relied on the perception of time through the Fake Soul Consciousness.

As the new Fake Soul Consciousness took shape, Da Ai Mi Tian also neared the mid-grade Magical Treasure level, having consumed over four hundred years’ worth of Innate Essence.

"It’s here."

The cancer cells cheered in excitement, multiplying a hundredfold within a short span.

With each breath, cancer cells poured out from Li Mo’s mouth and nose, while his pores exhaled and inhaled cancer cells, forming an invisible layer of protective energy around him.

He opened his eyes. Da Ai Mi Tian had successfully advanced to a mid-grade Magical Treasure.

Not only had its power greatly increased, but the external survival time of cancer cells had also extended exponentially.

Individual cancer cells could now persist for a hundred days outside the body—or, if hidden within a living being, they could extend their lifespan to fifty years.

Standing on the island, Li Mo appeared to be staring into the dense mist.

In reality, he was microscopically manipulating tens of thousands of cancer cells.

Now, Da Ai Mi Tian no longer needed to rely on external Spiritual Power for detachment from the body. Even Divine Separation Cultivators might not detect the concealed cancer cells.

A fleeting thought, and the cancer cells eagerly returned to his body.

In the True Void Hometown, it’s best to stay inconspicuous. However, what puzzled Li Mo was that Si Rui Zhai had not visited the Ancestor Platform for nearly a century, and the Brightening Wine left on the island’s edge remained untouched.

"Did the Twelve Immortals make some plan after obtaining the Mountain Spider?"

A flash of seriousness appeared in Li Mo’s eyes.

For him, the True Void Hometown was a one-of-a-kind retreat. Any disruption here would undoubtedly impact his cultivation.

"Let’s hope I’m just overthinking it. Few forces are willing to provoke the No-Life Sect."

Once again, Li Mo simulated Dao Body Fusion. Due to subduing the Heavenly Soul, the Fake Soul Consciousness had achieved a duration of fifty-seven years.

The Fake Soul Consciousness immediately initiated the Rotten Bamboo Flower surgery.

Unlike Li Mo, the Fake Soul Consciousness had a more extreme temperament, allowing the internal organs to be swiftly engulfed by fungal threads while the Rotten Bamboo Flower began reproducing.

The intense pain made the Fake Soul Consciousness grit its teeth, enduring the agony to carry out the surgery.

Li Mo felt a numbness in his scalp, already sensing the torment of Dao Body Fusion. But there was no other way—Dao Body Fusion required surgical modification.

The Fake Soul Consciousness progressed increasingly smoothly. The Mountain Spider methodically divided smaller spiders, cooperating with the Five Internal Organs Valve Structure Perfect Surgery to transform the organ structures.

The two Dao Bodies gradually fused, with the internal organs exhibiting subtle avian and beast characteristics.

Just as Li Mo thought success was assured, the Tattooed Beast began absorbing energy from the main body uncontrollably amidst the Dao Body Fusion process.

The Fake Soul Consciousness attempted to communicate with the Tattooed Beast, but there was no response.

It immediately utilized Corpse Wine and Elixirs to reverse-nourish the Tattooed Beast, but this only accelerated its mutation, causing the flesh and skeleton to falter under the strain.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

The Fake Soul Consciousness’s limbs expanded dramatically, morphing into a grotesque and horrifying giant Tattooed Beast.

"Dammit," Li Mo cursed internally.

He identified the root of the problem—the Tattooed Beast possessed rudimentary Spiritual Wisdom, and during the fusion phase, its instincts could easily induce resistance.

The Fake Soul Consciousness didn’t panic excessively at the scene, quickly resorting to its trump card—the medicinal power of the Nourishing Yuan Fruit. Innate Essence nourished the Tattooed Beast.

However, to Li Mo’s shock, the usually reliable Innate Essence proved ineffective.

Although the Innate Essence boosted the Tattooed Beast’s energy immensely, it still failed to resolve the issue.

The Tattooed Beast mindlessly tore at its own flesh while its body began to decay, consuming over a decade’s worth of Innate Essence with each breath.

If nothing changed, the Tattooed Beast would require nearly three thousand years’ worth of Nourishing Yuan Fruit medicinal power to complete the Dao Body Fusion.

"This won’t work. Three thousand years’ worth of Nourishing Yuan Fruit medicine is simply too absurd."

What did that even mean?

If not for the bountiful harvest Li Mo had gained in the True Word Secret Realm, three thousand years’ worth of medicine would take him at least five or six centuries to accumulate without rest.

Li Mo felt a headache brewing as Fake Soul Consciousness, while maintaining the supply of Innate Essence, continued searching for alternative ways to assist Dao Body Fusion.

Its methods became increasingly reckless, even resorting to sacrificial blood rituals with Plant and Tree Cultivators.

Ultimately, the Fake Soul Consciousness discovered that when the body was immersed in a highly toxic liquid, the internal organs would absorb the toxins to counterbalance the Tattooed Beast.

The Tattooed Beast eventually calmed, and the consumption of Innate Essence was drastically reduced.

In the last five years of the simulation, the Dao Body Fusion was finally complete.

Aside from the physical mutations caused by failing to suppress the Tattooed Beast in time, the newly formed Dao Body exhibited almost no visible conflicts.

Nonetheless, the Fake Soul Consciousness still met its inevitable fate of being obliterated.

"The Paoxiao Swallowing Body inherently has a natural toxin-absorbing ability, and the Tattooed Beast, due to the primary cultivation techniques, carries toxins to some degree."

Li Mo furrowed his brows. The more potent the toxins employed during Dao Body Fusion, the more Innate Essence could be conserved—at least by a millennium’s worth.

The Mayfly Dream contained a Poison Divine Skill, but its proficiency was only slightly above that of ordinary cultivators.

"Poisons are relatively rare among the poisonous spiritual materials in Corpse Mountain Mini World, and poison formulas are even scarcer. It’d be better to visit the Medicine Garden in the True Void Hometown."

The Medicine Garden was guarded by his Fourth Senior Sister, Qingjing.

The Qingjing Immortal was renowned in ancient cultivation realms for her expertise in poison techniques, rivaling the reputation of Mou Miaoqing, the Dan Fairy.

Si Rui Zhai had once told him that Qingjing had a fondness for rare spiritual materials.

Li Mo glanced at the Corpse Mountain Mini World. Rare spiritual materials were not something he lacked—most materials had evolved uniquely through the world’s environment.

"I can only hope to obtain some of the No-Life Sect’s Magic Technique heritage from Fourth Senior Sister."
