Chapter 174: Water and Fire Combine to Balance the Five Organs
Thunder Valley.
Still dark and gloomy, with flashes of lightning and thunder.
At the valley's entrance, silver-white electric snakes of varying thickness roared and struck a figure sitting cross-legged.
The figure seemed oblivious, unmoving, allowing the thunder to descend.
Within his body, he watched as the last wisp of Yin Water Thunder essence traveled through his meridians, returning to his kidneys.
The Ice Flame Thunder that had been stirring in his heart gradually calmed. Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, his attention shifting away from the kidneys.
As if sensing something, the five internal organs began to emit a faint green glow from the liver. Then, from the heart, which had just calmed, wisps of Ice Flame energy rose, emitting a blazing flame.
Then, the Nether Earth Thunder in the spleen began to stir, emanating a yellow-gray glow.
A golden light then shone, emitting a faint, clear rumble of thunder, and a dazzling golden light from the lungs.
After a moment of quieting in the newly refined kidneys, the Yin Water Thunder silently and quietly glowed with a faint black light.
Suddenly, five colors of light intertwined within Xiao Bai's body, creating an exceptionally dazzling display. The Wood Thunder Qi of the liver radiated vitality; the Ice Flame Thunder Qi of the heart surged and raged; the Nether Earth Thunder Qi of the spleen was thick and powerful; the Golden Annihilation Thunder Qi of the lungs was sharp and murderous; and the Yin Water Thunder Qi of the kidneys was tranquil and gentle. As the five elements of lightning shone within him, they continuously emitted powerful devouring forces, continuously consuming the five elements and the power of thunder outside. The remaining thunder power from previous body refinement was continuously devoured by the five lights.
"What is this?!" Outside, the little golden dragon watched as the silver-white light on Xiao Bai's body rapidly faded, followed by a sudden thunderclap. Suddenly, a circle of multicolored light emerged from the body, now restored to its previous appearance, surrounding it. The entire person appeared incomparably sacred, like a saint or an immortal.
Before it could react, a massive devouring force suddenly descended upon it.
"Hey, hey, my Lord, what are you doing?" the little golden dragon shuddered in shock. It could feel the essence within its body threatened to be ripped out by the sudden surge of devouring force.
"Damn it, is this guy really after my essence?" With eyes wide open and a furious roar, the little golden dragon struggled to break free from the devouring force. A burst of golden lightning leaped, a flash of light shone, and the surrounding space faintly trembled. Its massive body vanished from its original position, reappearing amidst the thick clouds above.
Its enormous pupils fixed intently on the black-clad, white-haired figure below, a hint of suspicion gradually forming in its eyes.
"Is this guy about to have another accident?" As the devouring force below absorbed all the five elements and lightning energy within a radius of several hundred meters, Xiao Bai's body emanated inexplicable fluctuations.
Auras of water and fire continuously erupted, with faint hints of earth occasionally lingering in between.
"Crack!" The storage ring on his finger seemed unable to withstand the force and shattered. The large amount of medicinal herbs and magic cores inside seemed to be corroded by something and turned into ashes in an instant.
The energy contained in it was also swept away by the devouring force.
"Five Elements Energy?" The little golden dragon thought for a moment. It realized that Xiao Bai should need a lot of Five Elements Energy at this time.
Looking around, it found that the surroundings were full of strong thunder attributes.
"What should I do? The jade slip for exiting is next to him, but I dare not go down now! Otherwise, I will be finished!" The little golden dragon kept circling in the clouds, quite anxious.
If something happened to Xiao Bai, it would be trapped here!
For some reason, it didn't like this feeling of being trapped. It really didn't like it.
The little golden dragon was at a loss when it noticed that changes had occurred below again.
"Damn! So cruel, even sucking himself!" Xiao Bai's plump, radiant skin began to slowly shrivel. In an instant, only skin and bones remained, his silky hair like hay.
From a distance, he looked like a skeleton sitting cross-legged!
"Five Elements? Flow? Merge?" Just as the little golden dragon was scratching its head and ears, watching Xiao Bai's breath dwindle, a subtle sound like bones grinding against each other escaped him.
"What the hell?" The little golden dragon pricked up its ears, listened carefully, and blinked in confusion.
"My Lord! Explain clearly! What do you mean by the Five Elements Flowing and Merging? Tell me specifically what I need to do to save you?" A loud dragon roar echoed through the valley.
However, after Xiao Bai finished speaking a few words, he fell completely silent, no trace of life emanating from him, though the strange devouring power still lingered around him.
"Damn!" The little golden dragon's heart skipped a beat. A look of disbelief flashed across its enormous eyes. It roared mournfully, "You bastard! You're not going to die just like that! What about this dragon?"
The roar echoed through the valley, the thunder still pounding, but no one responded.
Behind the mountains of Canaan Academy, the sky was filled with stars. A cold moonlight streamed down from the heavens, casting a hazy silver veil over the entire mountain range.
A series of distant roars of beasts shattered the stillness.
Beneath the night sky, a small figure crouched quietly in a patch of dense grass at the edge of a small valley, peering into the deep valley, her nose twitching slightly.
"What a nice smell! It must smell good!" A quirky glint flickered in the little figure's eyes. "That damn thing! I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
Thinking of how they had been beaten back by this mighty beast in the valley during the day, a flicker of resentment crossed the little figure's large eyes.
"I hope the old man didn't lie to me! After this big guy explodes during the day, he'll be weakened at night!"
A small figure slowly emerged from the brush, her steps extremely slow, making no sound as she cautiously made her way into the valley.
As the valley drew closer, the small figure slowly breathed a sigh of relief. In the moonlight, she could only see faint bruises at the corners of her mouth.
Thinking of the Snow Demon Sky Ape's violent state, she patted her chest lightly. It would be best to sneak in quietly, grab the item, and run. By then, this big, stupid guy would definitely not be able to catch up with her.
Entering the silent valley, the small figure looked around vigilantly.
Under the moonlight, the fragrance wafted from the cave entrance. A massive creature lay sprawled on the ground, its snoring echoing through the valley.
Her breathing became increasingly cautious, her gaze fixed on the crouching white ape, as heavy as a small hill. With quick, light steps, she moved towards the cave entrance.
Suddenly, from the pitch-black depths of the valley, a pair of crimson lights gradually lit up. Then, the crouching ape, its hair standing on end, gazed at the tiny figure before it.
"Roar!"
With a resounding roar, its massive form, perhaps thirty or four feet tall, instantly reared upright. Its red eyes, gleaming with anger and fear, glared at the smaller figure.
"Big man! What are you yelling about? You're so noisy!"
The smaller figure, noticing the white ape's presence, gave up pretending, rubbed her ears, and shouted in frustration.
The white ape exuded a sharp, icy aura, its heavy breaths pouring out of its large nostrils, transforming into two streams of white mist. Its slender arms, its palms even larger than the smaller figure's, emanated from it.
A pair of scarlet eyes stared fiercely at the tiny figure on the ground.
For some reason, it felt a kind of blood pressure from this tiny figure. If it weren't for this, it might have let her sneak into the cave just now.
"Roar!"
With another furious roar, the giant ape extended its massive claws and slammed down fiercely at the small figure.
The small figure flashed, a slight ripple in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared beneath the giant claws, reappearing on the other side of the giant ape.
"Bang!"
The giant claws crashed to the ground, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere, crashing against the surrounding stone walls with a deafening rumble.
"Lelulu, you big idiot, you can't hit me!"
The small figure, unfazed, grimaced at the giant ape and stuck out her tongue.
"Roar!"
Seeing its attack ineffective, the giant ape's eyes grew furious. It slapped its chest, roared heavenward, and opened its fangs. A pale white energy ball burst forth from its maw, condensing into a massive icy sphere that, with a sharp sound, hurtled towards the small figure on the ground.
The small figure watched the rapidly falling ice ball without the slightest panic. Her tiny fists clenched, her eyes fixed on the approaching ball.
"Break!"
The giant ice ball and the tiny fist, one large and one small, collided fiercely.
"Bang!"
A resounding explosion echoed through the valley, and the massive ice ball, like a cannonball, shattered and scattered.
A gully several meters wide appeared on the ground. After the thick, cold fog dissipated, a small figure stood calmly at its end, a thin white mist emanating from her mouth.
"Big guy! With such limited strength, who are you looking down on?" The small figure clapped her jade-white hands and glanced disdainfully at the giant ape.
With that, she suddenly vanished and reappeared behind the giant ape. Her fists, no bigger than a fingertip compared to its size, rained down upon it like a torrential rain.
For a moment, the giant and the small clashed with fists and claws. It wasn't a fight between humans and monsters, but rather a brawl between two monsters, all about physical strength. The giant ape's occasional roars echoed through the valley.
"Ah...ah! This is so annoying! Why is this guy so tough?" The small figure landed not far from the giant ape, rubbing her arms, gritting her teeth, and panting as she stared at the behemoth before her.
While it was indeed weaker than it had been during the day, its size made her powerless against the giant ape.
The thought of this only intensified her desire to grow larger.
Her eyes rolled, and she lifted a huge rock with both hands, hurling it fiercely at the giant ape.
"Big guy! Come chase me!" The small figure provoked the giant ape, hoping to draw it away.
But no matter how angry the giant ape was, it kept dodging and circling the cave entrance, refusing to leave, leaving the small figure helpless.
"This is pissing me off!" The small figure, hands on her hips, kicked a rock the size of a head, shattering it instantly.
On the other side...
Xiao Bai's consciousness was now enveloped in darkness, as he silently observed the scene before him.
Five beams of light shone, clashing with each other.
Previously, five lightning seeds within his body had ignited his five internal organs; what followed should have been the interplay of the five elements, a cycle of endless growth and renewal. Indeed, as he anticipated, the five elements began to circulate, generating a powerful devouring force within him.
But just as he was about to attempt to unite the five elements, something unexpected occurred.
Wood Thunder merged with Ice Flame Thunder, greatly increasing its power.
However, as Ice Flame's power intensified, Yin Water Thunder, seemingly dissatisfied, merged with Golden Annihilation Thunder, further intensifying the Water element.
Within the Five Elements, Wood and Fire merged, and Metal and Water merged.
Instantly, Xiao Bai's body exploded like water dropped into a boiling pot of oil.
Water and fire were incompatible!
They battled relentlessly, even frantically absorbing all the energy of the five elements to strengthen themselves in a desperate attempt to prevail.
And the Earth element, like a good friend, quietly intervened.
But after all, the other two have two attributes, and its coordination does not seem to have much effect.
"Balance?" Xiao Bai watched silently, his mind full of thoughts at this time.
He did not care about what happened to his body in the outside world. As long as he could balance the five elements in his body, his body would naturally return to perfection, or even go further.
This is not because Xiao Yi and the others are rebelling, but now they each represent the condition of the five internal organs in Xiao Bai's body. Simply separating them is meaningless.
Right now, water and fire must be balanced to balance the five internal organs in the body.
While thinking, his previous understanding of the five elements kept flooding his mind. Combined with his current state, he had a deeper understanding of the five elements.
"The energy of heaven and earth, combined into one, is divided into yin and yang, divided into the four seasons, and classified into the five elements. Their different elements give rise to the five elements!"
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, the fundamental basis for the operation of all things. Tai Chi gives rise to the two opposites, which give rise to the four images. The four images represent fire, wood, metal, and water, and the place of birth and death for the four images is earth!"
"So, what I need to do now is to strengthen the earth element, to harmonize water and fire, and balance the five internal organs!"
"And it just so happens that Nether Earth Thunder has the power to regulate yin and yang, to harmonize water and fire!"
"Earth element... How can the earth element strengthen the earth element?"
Xiao Bai fell into deep thought, his mind flashing through scenes from the original novel, which froze at a certain moment.
Oh, right, Canaan Academy, Snow Demon Sky Ape, Earth Core Tempering Milk!
Since that place can produce Earth Core Tempering Milk, the earth element's energy must be incredibly rich, unlike now, where the earth energy is not apparent and unable to absorb the energy from the earth veins.
"Excellent. Excellent! God is helping me!" Xiao Bai felt delighted. It just so happened that the place was not far away.
Outside, the little golden dragon was looking at the silent big skeleton below in the air with a sad look in its eyes!
"What a bastard master, he died as soon as he said he would, causing this dragon to be trapped here. I can't even send a message to the master to save you!"
"Damn it! Why is that devouring power still there? Is this dragon really going to be trapped in this damn place forever?"
The little golden dragon was very upset, circling in the air, testing the range of the devouring power.
"Oh my god! It's resurrected?!"
With a scream, the little golden dragon instantly ran away, looking at the big skeleton with horror as it suddenly stood up.
The skinny eye sockets trembled slightly, and a pair of eyes shining with black and red light slowly opened and looked at it.
"Come here!!"
The voice was hoarse and dark, like the constant friction of bones, suppressing the rumbling thunder around.
