Chapter 213 Shedding Skin, Breakthrough
In the kitchen, steam was rising and white mist filled the air.
Chu Liang closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and sat cross-legged in a large wooden barrel.
The molting had begun.
Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, his whole body was hot, his skin was hot and red, and steam was rising all over his body, like a cooked prawn.
The tingling sensation appeared in every inch of his skin, as if there were thousands of steel needles surrounding his body, constantly piercing, and the pain was getting stronger and stronger.
This kind of metamorphosis, pain is inevitable, and every master of the skin refining realm has experienced it.
The further you go, the more intense the pain.
Especially for the first metamorphosis, many people spent it in painful wailing.
"The skin is absorbing the power of the medicine, and it's still normal now."
Chu Liang endured the pain and carefully felt his condition.
This pain was okay, compared with the pain caused by the dragon blood pill, it was nothing at all.
Two little mice stood guard outside the door, protecting Chu Liang and not allowing anyone to disturb him.
"Master will succeed!"
"Well, it's just a small molting barrier, the master can easily cross it."
Unlike the last time he took the Dragon Blood Pill, this time, Rat Da and Rat Er were full of confidence in Chu Liang.
In the room, Chu Liang's body became hotter and hotter.
The steam rose, the white mist was hazy, and the whole kitchen was white. You couldn't see your hand in front of you, as if it had become a fairyland on earth.
The medicinal power of various precious medicines was integrated into the water and was continuously absorbed by Chu Liang.
Gradually, a feeling of swelling began to spread throughout Chu Liang's body, making him feel like he was about to collapse and disintegrate.
Five streams of blood and qi fixed his limbs and torso, and the sixth stream of blood and qi fixed his skin, resisting the feeling of collapse.
In addition, an extremely strange power surged in his mind, protecting his head and preventing Chu Liang's head from exploding.
"Is it mental power?"
Chu Liang was thoughtful and silently experienced it.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
It was late at night.
The bright moon was hanging high, and there was silence.
The kitchen was still filled with steam and mist.
Chu Liang closed his eyes, his skin was red, and the pain reached its extreme, as if he had fallen into a blood fire ant nest and was bitten by countless blood fire ants.
"It's longer than what is recorded in the book. It's been an hour. Why hasn't it ended yet?" Chu Liang frowned, and the transformation process he saw in the books in the library emerged in his mind.
It takes at most half an hour for an ordinary warrior to transform.
But Chu Liang has spent an hour, with no success or failure.
At this time, Chu Liang's pain suddenly eased, and a warmth surged under the epidermis.
"It's the sixth qi and blood."
Chu Liang realized that in order to practice the pseudo-skin technique, he condensed an unprecedented sixth qi and blood.
This qi and blood uses the skin as a carrier, and is now slowly melting, blending under the old skin, and slowly combining with a layer of new skin.
This process is something that other warriors will not experience.
Finally, there was a light "click" sound.
A very obvious crack appeared on the surface of Chu Liang's arm skin.
Under the crack, it was not the broken flesh and blood, but the delicate new epidermis!
"Success!"
Chu Liang felt relieved. As long as this first crack appeared, the follow-up would be simple. All the old skin could be slowly removed.
He was not in a hurry. He breathed steadily, sat cross-legged in the wooden barrel, and waited silently.
Next, more and more cracks appeared on his body, including his arms, legs, abdomen, etc., which looked a little scary, like a broken porcelain doll.
These cracks slowly connected into one piece, spreading to the neck little by little, climbing up the neck, and then climbing up the cheeks, causing cracks to appear on the epidermis of Chu Liang's face.
After a long time, Chu Liang was shocked.
Buzz!
Pieces of old skin fell off and fell into the hot wooden barrel.
He opened his eyes and began to tear off the old skin that had not yet fallen off. This scene was also a little scary, like the scene of the painted skin monster shedding human skin in the storytellers' mouths.
After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Liang slowly stood up. He had shed all the old skin, and his whole body was covered with skin.
One molting, completely successful!
"From now on, I am a true master of the skin refining realm!"
Chu Liang took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and felt the incomparable sense of power.
The new skin looks similar to the old skin, but it is extremely tough and invulnerable. Ordinary weapons can no longer hurt him.
At this moment, Chu Liang is much stronger than before the molting!
The layer of blood skin he condensed through the pseudo-skin technique did not disappear, but merged into his new skin, making him far superior to other warriors who molted once.
Although he only molted once, he is comparable to the masters of the middle stage of the skin refining realm who molted twice.
If he uses the blood explosion technique, Chu Liang can fight with the masters of the late stage of skin refining.
"I can also be called a 'master'."
Chu Liang smiled and was very satisfied with his status. Although he was only a third-rate master, he was still in the mainstream.
He walked out of the wooden barrel, wiped his whole body, put on a new set of clothes, and then opened the door of the kitchen.
"Huh..."
The night breeze blew on my face, and I felt refreshed!
The two little mice were delighted, stood up together, and said with their hands clasped: "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master!"
"Haha, you two have worked hard too!"
Chu Liang was in a good mood, walked into the yard, stretched his arms, looked up at the bright moon, and felt that the world was vast and his heart was infinitely broad.
With his current strength, if he wanted to, he could establish a powerful force and become a figure like the family ancestor.
Three dog demons came running over one after another. Their fur was shiny, their tails were wagging, and they were jumping around excitedly beside Chu Liang.
"Woof woof!"
They looked excited and even made a squeaking sound.
The donkey also walked over slowly and gave Chu Liang a "high" sound as a congratulation.
Chu Liang smiled, sat on the stone bench in the yard, relaxed, and said to them: "You guys have to work hard, especially you, Donkey, Rat Big and Rat Er feel that your strength is too low and you don't deserve it." I became a mount."
"hold head high?"
The donkey's eyes suddenly widened, its droopy ears stood up, and its eyes turned to the two little mice.
The big rat swung its tail, jumped up on the stone table, and said unceremoniously: "Stupid donkey, Shu Er and I found two big demon eggs in the mountains. The descendants of the big demon are much more talented than you, a bastard donkey. Wait. Once we cultivate it, you will be completely useless. Go back to the village and grind!"
"hold head high??"
The donkey's eyes widened.
It's a pity that he can't speak human words for the time being and can't express his emotions.
He could only hurried back to the corner of his yard, opened his big mouth, revealing a large set of yellow teeth, and began to gnaw on the medicines Chu Liang had brought back from the mountains.
The three dog demons also seemed to have a sense of crisis.
"Woof woof!"
They all took action, bared their teeth and bit into the monster flesh and blood that Chu Liang gave them.
Seeing this scene, Chu Liang smiled again.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Nowadays, Chu Liang has enough confidence, both in terms of identity and strength, so there is really no need to be too anxious.
He returned to the house and had a serious night's rest.
The next day, he took two little mice and went out to the temporary residence of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce in the county. There he found Liu Changping, the chamber's manager, and asked him about the flesh and blood of the mid-level monster beast.
"Brother Chu, do you want to exchange for the flesh and blood of the mid-level monster?" Liu Changping asked Chu Liang to sit down and ordered his servants to prepare tea for Chu Liang.
The two of them were relatively familiar with each other. Chu Liang once exchanged two bamboo tubes of bee demon honey for the flesh and blood of low-level demon beasts.
Once you have made a deal, it will be easy to negotiate another deal.
Both sides trust each other.
Chu Liang sat opposite him and asked, "Can Manager Liu find a way to get it? I need a lot of monster flesh and blood now, from beginners to mid-level."
"Yes, Brother Chu, you came at the right time."
Liu Changping nodded and said that there happened to be a group of demonic beast flesh and blood from the southwest in the yard of this temporary residence.
This is a coincidence.
"Brother Chu, do you know that this time in the mountains, the son of our merchant guest Huang Feng died." Liu Changping lowered his voice.
"I know." Chu Liang was there at that time.
That genius died miserably, being trampled to death by the great demon golden elephant!
Liu Changping added: "The leader of the caravan responsible for escorting this batch of flesh and blood was Huang Feng Keqing's apprentice. He originally had no intention of staying, but when he heard that his master's son was dead, he stopped the caravan and stayed here to comfort his master. "
"I see."
"Brother Chu, come with me."
Liu Changping got up and took Chu Liang to the backyard to let him examine the flesh and blood of these monster beasts.
There are more than ten cars of flesh and blood, ranging from beginners to mid-level, which is exactly what Chu Liang needs most now.
"Brother Chu, you can buy the flesh and blood of those who are not advanced with money, but those who are advanced should try to exchange them with treasures." Liu Changping said to Chu Liang.
"Okay, I have the treasure."
"It seems that Brother Chu has gained a lot in the mountains this time."
Liu Changping smiled, and then said: "By the way, Brother Chu, please wait for me here for a while, I will go get something."
"good."
Chu Liang nodded and was not in a hurry.
Liu Changping turned around and ran into another yard.
After a while, he hurried back with an extra booklet in his hand.
"Brother Chu, take this." He handed the booklet to Chu Liang with a solemn expression.
"Oh? This is..."
Chu Liang took the book and opened it.
The content in the booklet is clearly an introduction to a master of the Skin Refining Realm.
