(remember)

(Xu Yan first arrived)

In the clouds and mist far away, a misty giant peak can be vaguely seen protruding, surrounded by dozens of smaller smaller stone peaks. The clouds and mist are lingering, and the mountains are vast under the pale sky. The sun was about to set, and the clouds near the giant peak and halfway up the mountain were almost dyed golden, leaving only the peaks green and tall, standing proudly in the sky.

The waterfalls are flying down the mountainside one after another, hitting the rocks at the bottom of the waterfalls hard, and suddenly they are as gentle as brocade, slowly flowing through the Qingyu Rock that has not been washed out and deformed for tens of thousands of years, surrounding the mountains. . It forms a beautiful picture of huge mountains and beautiful waters.

Halfway up the giant peak that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, a small dot the size of an ant is vaguely visible, as if it is climbing at an extremely fast speed, trying to break through the golden clouds and soar up to the top of the mountain that is unknown how high.

On the edge of the mountainside of the giant peak, an old man wearing a light green Taoist robe was holding a young man in blue and a pretty girl in yellow with his hands. He kept tapping the protruding rocks on the edge of the peak with his feet, climbing up three or four times each time. Zhang, he was relaxed and free-spirited on the mountainside more than 70 feet high, as if the person he was lifting with his hands was weightless. This was not what an old man should look like at all.

Xu Yan listened to the howling wind in his ears, his face was sore from being scraped, and he couldn't open his eyes at all. He even found it difficult to breathe. He could only breathe heavily at an altitude of nearly a hundred feet. The girl was even worse. She fainted when the old man surnamed Lin led them to jump up the giant peak.

The old Taoist surnamed Lin kept silent all the way, with a cold expression on his face. Xu Yan gasped inwardly. How could he behave like this if he really wanted to accept a disciple? He couldn't help but become more sure of what he was thinking. This old Taoist must have another agenda.

Since the fall of the Eastern Territory, he has been living here, and by chance, he was captured by this old Taoist who lied about accepting a disciple. Now he has exhausted his elixirs and his profound energy is stagnant. Although he has that article Although he still had the "Transforming Spirit Heart Technique" in his body, he still had not truly broken into the Qi Sea Realm. He was unable to resist the old Taoist surnamed Lin for a while.

The scenery of the deep natural mountains on the edge of Shu Land is really beautiful. Ordinary people only hunt and eat on the edge of the mountains and never dare to explore the depths of the poisonous insects and beasts. This Xinshan Mountains can be said to be deserted. The peaks reaching into the sky, the towering trees, the giant waterfalls, and the ferocious beasts are truly an extraordinary sight.

Just now, Xu Yan looked down when Lao Dao had just jumped to a height of twenty or thirty feet. The vast mountains and mountains were winding down, and he could still vaguely see the blurry Luoyun City statue in the far distance to the west, which was only half the size of a finger. There is a huge statue in Luoyun City. Legend has it that it is the statue of a powerful person in the divine elixir realm who founded Luoyun City 20,000 years ago. Although it is a statue, it has endless majesty and suppresses Luoyun.

There was a slight drop of sweat on the face of the old Taoist named Lin. He raised his head and glanced far away towards the top of the peak. A complex look flashed across his face. He exerted force under his feet and quickly rushed to the peak body at a height of 150 feet. In a huge natural semi-open-air cave.

Ever since he had cultivated the fourth level of Qi Sea in the deep mountains for hunting and left the mountain, he had been searching everywhere for a Lingshan Dojo suitable for his cultivation. Finally, he found a huge fault on the mountainside of Luoyu Peak in the Xinshan Mountains. This fault was a vast area of ​​land. The flat ground seems to be missing a large piece of land halfway up the mountain. The flat ground is about fifty feet in diameter. There are stone houses, stone platforms, futons and other objects in it. It is obviously an ancient training place for casual cultivators and their disciples. The old Taoist surnamed Lin took over the magpie's nest without any courtesy.

I don’t know the name of this peak. The falling rain is caused by the Taoist priest named Lin. I don’t know how the cave where the Taoist temple is located in the peak was formed. Maybe it is not natural. The Taoist surnamed Lin has a terrible guess in his mind, but he has never been sure that it should be natural. Such a huge fault would not be formed. Looking at the vague outline of the rocks around this simple dojo, it looks very much like the appearance of a cultivator's spiritual energy bursting into the rocks. Perhaps it was an ancient overhaul, bombarded with a burst of spiritual energy. But he had never even seen Grandmaster Daoji, and he couldn't even imagine the level of Da Xiu who could casually blast a fault with a radius of fifty feet in the peak body.

Xu Yan and the girl in goose-yellow clothes were casually thrown on the cold and hard Qingyu stone ground. The girl woke up after being thrown to the ground, screamed in pain, opened her eyes, and looked around in confusion.

The old man surnamed Lin seemed a little tired. He ignored the two of them and patted the small brown cloth bag on his waist. Suddenly, a two-foot-three-foot-tall copper stove and several pictures painted with bright red ink appeared on the empty ground. Talisman paper, and took out a few narrow purple talismans from his sleeves.

At this time, Xu Yan suddenly raised his head and stared at the purple narrow talisman, as if he thought of something, then glanced at the old man again, slowly lowered his head and said nothing. The old Taoist surnamed Lin probably didn't notice Xu Yan's abnormality, so he made a few more seals with both hands, and then carefully flicked them from his legs, and two light blue translucent talisman papers appeared in his empty hands. However, the green color on it was already very pale, as if it was about to disappear. The old man surnamed Lin frowned, as if he cherished the talisman paper very much, and carefully put it away.

"Master, where are we? I'm so hungry." The clear voice of the girl in yellow clothes asked the old Taoist, then she glanced at Xu Yan who was sitting on the ground with her head lowered with her big bright eyes. After all, she was a girl in her early ten years. Although she knew a little bit about things, she could not tell the difference between right and wrong, and could not distinguish between good and evil. She did not notice the abnormality of the old man named Lin at all. She naively thought that this so-called master would love her like her parents. If you learn mystic arts, you can stay young forever and return to your hometown in fine clothes.

"Humph, I'll make you full in a minute." The old man surnamed Lin snorted coldly. Without looking at the girl's aggrieved look and tearful eyes, he patted the brown pouch on his waist, and a light and refreshing fragrance suddenly spread out. On the diffuse platform, there are two strange-shaped plants in the hands of the old man. One looks like a ginseng, and the other has two leaves, which is a two-leaf clover. He threw the two plants in front of the girl and said, "Eat them."

"Master, I don't want to eat this plant..." The girl looked at the old man timidly and a little aggrieved.

Xu Yan sneered coldly in his heart, this girl is so naive, it would be fine if this old Taoist really wanted to accept a disciple, but...

Sure enough, the old Taoist said indifferently: "Who is your master! You are a girl who talks too much nonsense. If you are obedient, you will suffer less torture. It seems that I have to let you know the majesty of the poor Taoist at this time."

After saying this, the old man grabbed the girl, pinched her chin, picked up the two medicinal herbs and stuffed them directly into the girl's mouth. The girl burst into tears, her mouth was filled with medicinal materials, and her eyes were full of doubts and fear.

The old Taoist pointed his finger at the girl's abdomen. The girl suddenly felt a strong suction coming from her abdomen. The two medicinal herbs in her mouth squeezed her throat hard, and they rushed into the girl's throat as if they were spiritual. Drill everywhere.

The girl's mouth opened wider and wider, and the red and small lips were stretched open and deformed by the two medicinal herbs. The deformation reached the extreme, and a gash was opened from the side of her mouth. Blood spurted onto the platform like a spring, and her throat was stretched. At the limit, the blood vessels and trachea burst, and the two medicinal herbs directly split the throat and slid to the stomach due to the suction of the girl's lower abdomen. The girl was not dead yet, her lips parted half of her face. The old man surnamed Lin still had an indifferent expression on his face. He placed his fingers on the girl's face, throat and lower abdomen.

Immediately, the wound on the girl's body stopped bleeding, but the blood vessels under her fair skin continued to bulge, her stomach kept squirming, her big eyes stained red with blood stared blankly ahead, and the corner of her mouth that was not torn was still swollen. He stopped pulling, as if to say something, but the girl's windpipe and throat burst. She should have died on the spot, but she didn't die for some reason. Half of her originally beautiful goose-yellow clothes were stained with blood red, but now a pretty girl looked like They are demons from hell.

First, let the girl absorb the medicinal power of the two auxiliary medicines. During this period, the girl cannot die, and then use spiritual power to speed up the absorption of the medicinal materials by the girl's body. After absorbing all the medicinal power, the girl is put into the copper furnace and soaked in some external auxiliary medicines. Then make a fire and boil the water until all the water in the copper furnace is dried up. The remaining paste is one of the two medicinal ingredients. The process of refining this medicine flashed through the mind of the old Taoist named Lin, and he immediately started working on it. He also refined and burned it according to the records on the spiritual blood pill recipe. This girl must enter the spiritual root sequence, which is so mysterious that even the old Taoist doesn't know why. Although the fourth level of Qi Sea is already considered superior to the mortal world and looks down upon the common people, facing the vast road of cultivating the mystic, the fourth level of Qi Sea is not even an ant.

Xu Yan witnessed the whole process of the girl being thrown into the copper furnace by the old Taoist with her blood-red and helpless eyes. Suddenly, her heart became clear. The path of cultivating the mysteries is like this, cutting off other people's life path and taking the opportunity of heaven and earth. To become a cultivator, how many ordinary people have to be sacrificed. Xu Yan's understanding is astonishing. He has just touched the first level of the Qi Sea. Although he cannot break through this initial threshold of cultivating the Xuan without spiritual roots, he has the "Zhuan Ling Xin Jue" that appears deep in his mind. They have already seen the leopard with their spots, and have seen the true cruelty of the Xuanxuan world. In their eyes, mortals are ants who give and ask for things, and the emperors of the dynasty are just ants who rule ants.

After a sudden realization, Xu Yan came back to his senses. His inexplicable bystander mentality had completely disappeared. Now he was still the mortal Xu Yan. His stomach tumbled, and when he lowered his head, he saw that there were still large pieces of blood on his body and face. The bright red blood was splashed, and his pupils shrank for a while. Thinking of the girl's tragic fate, suddenly a fear crazily surrounded him. His life was being held in someone's hands. He still didn't know what the old man's plan was. What would he do? What will happen to me... Will I be thrown into a copper furnace to die alive like that girl whose name I don't even know... Unknown fear surrounded him. He sat on the ground and looked at the old man named Lin, thinking in his heart Roll over, I don’t want this feeling of life and death not being in my hands! The destruction of the Eastern Territory did not kill me, Xu Yan, and you, a mere Qi Sea Realm veteran, are even less likely to threaten me!

The old Taoist surnamed Lin noticed Xu Yan's gaze and strode towards him with his sleeves fluttered. Xu Yan trembled unconsciously and moved back. At this time, the old Taoist's previously unruffled face turned into a look of excitement. He lifted Xu Yan with one hand and said harshly: "Little boy, show me the skills you practiced, and I will leave you with a whole body."

Xu Yan's eyes were at a loss: "Master Xuan, what technique do you want? I have always practiced Qing Gong passed down from my family, and I have never practiced any other martial arts." At this moment, he understood the cause and effect in an instant. The wisp of spiritual energy from the "Revolutionary Heart Technique" in Dantian was the reason why he was brought here by the old Taoist. The evil Taoist must have seen this and brought him here.

"Haha, I have cultivated to the fourth level of the Qi Sea as a casual cultivator. I want to go higher but I can't go any further. Kunai cultivates the exercises. I already know your skills. Please tell me quickly where the exercises are stored. , otherwise you will know what life is worse than death!"

The old Taoist surnamed Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud with ecstasy. He put more force on his hands and stared at Xu Yan: "You ant, I will give you one last chance. Now, I will lead the way for you. I will lead you to achieve success." Get the method, if the method is true, I will spare your life!"

Xu Yan sneered and closed his eyes slightly.

Pi, actually ignored the old man named Lin and just closed his eyes to rest.

"You don't know what's good or bad!" The old man surnamed Lin has never been treated like this before. Everyone who knows his identity is serving him respectfully, for fear of any conflict. Xu Yan dares to turn a deaf ear to his words like this! The old Taoist's eyes were full of anger, and his right hand turned into a claw, and he fiercely grabbed Xu Yan's left arm. With the old Taoist's cruel temperament, if this claw were to grasp firmly, Xu Yan's entire left arm might be torn off alive!

"Boom!" There was only an explosion, and a dazzling white light flashed across the dojo platform. Along with the huge air explosion, the air fluctuated up and down and spread out of the cave. Xu Yan felt the warm white light on his body and closed his eyes slightly. His eyes suddenly opened, and there was a trace of complacency and a trace of fear at the corner of his mouth. No matter how smart you are, Mr. Lin, you still fell into my scheme. He deliberately angered Lao Dao, and he expected that Lao Dao would not kill him first, just because Lao Dao would attack him once! Because, he has a trump card... and this trump card is exactly what the old man didn't care about, the ordinary Beijing white jade pendant that Xu Yan wears on his waist! But this time the jade pendant did not disappoint Xu Yan, he put all his bets on the jade pendant.

This jade pendant is the only protective spiritual weapon he brought in the Eastern Territory.

At this time, the air slowly calmed down, and the white light slowly dissipated. Xu Yan walked out of the center of the explosion unscathed. He looked at the Taoist slumped on the ground in front of him. The old Taoist had been blown off and had his right arm connected to half of his waist and abdomen. Blood was everywhere, and his intestines were dragged out from the opening on the right side of his abdomen.

If a mortal had suffered such an impact, his bones would have been blown into a pile of minced meat. This old Taoist's fourth level of Qi Sea attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body. His body was as hard as a rock, and he was vulnerable to this blast.

"Tao Zhang Lin, I don't know your name yet, but it seems that I don't need to know it at this time. You are not dead after suffering such a serious injury. You are truly worthy of Master Xuan." Xu Yan stepped forward and said, Looking down at the old man named Lin.

The old Taoist stared at Xu Yan bitterly, his lips moved slightly to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. This scene is very similar to the expression of the girl in yellow clothes who was thrown into the copper furnace.

"I saw that your power in killing several people in the city must be based on the power of this thing." Xu Yan squatted down and picked up a few narrow purple talismans scattered on the ground next to the copper furnace. He did not recognize these talismans. It is only through careful observation and bold thinking that we can infer their approximate uses. "This thing must be extremely precious, how about Master Xuan give it to me?" Xu Yan smiled and took out two light cyan talisman papers from the broken sleeves of the old Taoist surnamed Lin. He had seen that the old Taoist treasured these talismans very much before, so he was sure What an incredible treasure.

"What kind of sect is your Taoist disciple stationed there? He actually disguised himself as a mortal and attacked Pindao. Pindao asked himself that he had never offended the sects of the sects near Xinshan Mountain. He was cautious in doing things. When he met the disciples of your sect, he took a detour and never dared to do so. Offended, why on earth did you do this to this poor Taoist!" The old Taoist struggled to say something, but his eyes were bright and dazzling, and he looked at Xu Yan with hatred. The moment he took action, he felt a huge rebound force, and then this wave The rebound force formed a blast of air, directly injuring him seriously.

Therefore, he thought that he had killed too many mortals, and those righteous sects were coming to trouble him. Those sects wanted to deal with him as a casual cultivator, so of course they did not need to mobilize troops. Now it seems that they only sent a Qi Hai with a magic weapon and he has not yet entered. An outer disciple, relying on the power of the magical weapon, he is so vulnerable!

Xu Yan's mind was spinning, and he understood what the old Taoist was thinking in a moment. He had some calculations in his heart, so he made a nonsense: "I cultivated in the Piaomiao Taoist Temple, and learned from Master Mu Yu. I came here today to hide my identity. I am here to do justice for heaven and kill him." Kill the demons and fulfill the retribution for you, an evil cultivator!"

This old Taoist was just a hunter in the mountains at first. After entering Xuanxuan, he practiced in the mountains. He accidentally hit him and cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Sea. He was considered a person with a chance, and his life span was more than 150 years. He had only heard of Qingxiao Sect, the number one Taoist sect in Shu. Even though he was seriously injured, he was still thinking hard about the origin of this ethereal dojo. Unexpectedly, Xu Yan over there smiled sinisterly and kicked him in the waist and abdomen. Although his five senses were extraordinary and he was aware of Xu Yan's attack, he could not move his body, leaving only half of his waist and abdomen. He could only watch Xu Yan kick him fiercely, and his mind quickly flashed through his naughty childhood, violent temper in middle age, and entering the mountain. After receiving the relic and entering into the path of cultivating the Mysterious, he had just emerged from the mountain with great ambitions and slaughtered mortals like dogs and chickens.

With a muffled sound of "bang", Xu Chang stretched himself out and stood behind Lao Dao, with a large amount of blood and minced meat splattered on his face. There was also a bloody intestine on his shoulder. Behind him were two parts of Lao Dao's body, and a thick The smell of blood hit his face.

Xu Yan's face showed some loss and confusion, and then he seemed to remember something. He hurriedly wiped the blood and scraps of flesh on his face with the clothes in front of him, and bent down to collect the old Taoist treasures.

"This object should be able to emit purple lightning, and it should be an offensive talisman. As for the use of these, I don't know yet. This light blue talisman should be extremely precious," Xu Yan sorted out the stack of talismans and separated them one by one. .

He bent down and pulled out the small brown bag from Lao Dao's waist. He pulled it several times but still couldn't open it. The small bag was extremely elastic, but it had no opening. Xu Yan frowned and had a guess in his mind. He tried I put a trace of inner energy into my Dantian, but it was like a cow in mud entering the sea, and there was no response.

Hanging the small cloth bag on his waist and ignoring it for the time being, Xu Yan looked around the entire dojo, which was forty to fifty feet in radius. Seven or eight feet above his head was a dark peak, but the top of his head on the west side was half open air. It was night now. Xu Yan walked to the edge of the platform and looked at the scene outside the platform. He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. When he looked up, he could see the ink-colored sky and the boundless bright stars. When he looked down, he could only see big groups. The clouds and mist are constantly rolling, and in the far west, there are vague lights of mortals, and under your feet is the infinite sea of ​​clouds. How can ordinary people guess the power of heaven and earth.

Xu Yan controlled the faint trembling in his calves. Looking at the most beautiful scenery in the world, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart. He couldn't help but sit cross-legged and practice the "Zhuan Ling Xin Jue". The spiritual energy circulated in the Dantian at a faster speed than usual according to the route of the technique. After a while, the energy showed signs of getting thicker. Suddenly Xu Yan opened his eyes, bent over and covered his abdomen, showing a painful look. The inner energy It also quickly returns to its original hair size.

"Damn it!" Xu Yan looked crazy, "This is the spiritual root. Without the spiritual root, you can never truly break into the Qi Sea Realm! Is this Xu's retribution!"

He stood up suddenly, turned around and rushed into the dojo. He quickly jumped towards Lao Dao's body and hit Lao Dao's head with a palm. Suddenly, red and white brains spewed out. Without the support of spiritual energy, the head was no different from a mortal head. , bursting open like a rotten watermelon.

After venting his anger, Xu Yan looked at the dark stone rooms at the end of the dojo. His crazy look slowly calmed down, and he said to himself: "This old Taoist may have some treasures hidden in them. Let me go and search them."

There is only a thin barrier between him and the first level of the Qi Sea, so seeing things in the dark is naturally a piece of cake.

In the dark corner of the cave, there are a total of four stone houses in the shape of a field, which are simple and simple. There is a small platform in the middle of the four stone houses. On the stone pier in the platform is a statue of a man in Taoist robes, standing with his hands behind his back, and a figure between his eyebrows. The vicissitudes of ancient majesty make people dare not look directly at it.

Xu Yan frowned. He saw several shabby withered yellow futons placed under the stone statue. He stepped forward to pick one up and took a look at it. It was a very ordinary futon, shabby but very clean. I guess it was that This is because old Taoist priests often practice here.

He walked into a stone house and looked around. There was a simple stone table with a few talisman papers scattered on it, two yellowed ancient books and a small piece of blue jade, and next to it were There was a piece of scarlet mud, emitting bursts of strange fishy fragrance.

Xu Yan was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to look at them carefully. These talisman papers were exactly the ones used by the old Taoist named Lin before. He stacked the talisman papers and kept them in his arms. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he looked at the thin ancient book placed on it, which contained the small seal script "Jian Shu Zhi". Xu Yan picked it up and flipped through it, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. This book was written by the ancient Xiu, and recorded the Shu County Xiu in Qinzhou. The division of Xuanzhe's forces, as well as the overview of the changes in the landscape of Shu County over tens of thousands of years.

Xu Yan's brows gradually furrowed. He had never heard of the Daye Dynasty, the mortal dynasty of Shu County introduced in this ancient book, and he had never heard of Dao Jianmen, the Xiuxuan Overlord of Shu County. He flipped through the pages again and couldn't help but be sure. , this book probably records the situation tens of thousands of years ago. The practitioners here should have left or died long ago. He didn't believe that the old Taoist named Lin had the ability to open up such a dojo that could seize the world.

However, this ancient book mentioned the division of realms, which he urgently wanted to know now. Xu Yan sat directly on the ground, holding the ancient book and read it carefully. He is talented and intelligent, and has a photographic memory since he was a child. This book is very thin, and even events that took place in the past ten thousand years can only be mentioned in a few pens.

Xu Yan read quickly. Half an hour later, he put down the book, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. This book only briefly mentions the realms of cultivation. There are four realms for cultivators here. One is the sea of ​​qi, which is the first threshold for cultivating the realm. If you have spiritual roots and have practiced hard or have authentic cultivation methods, you can often easily enter this level. However, if you want to go further in the future, you will need perseverance, faith, opportunity, luck, qualifications, etc. Otherwise, cultivating the occult is to transcend the ordinary world and do things that take over the world. If you are not careful, you will end up with good and evil, complete the cause and effect, and go away in ashes.

There are nine realms in the Qi Sea. The so-called Qi Sea is to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body to strengthen the body, so that the small human body can accommodate more spiritual energy and be strengthened stronger. The mystery of this is very mysterious.

This place is obviously not the human realm anymore, and even its realm is very different from the human realm in the east.

Maybe they can no longer call people. After these ancient cultivators gained unparalleled power, they gradually separated from the human race who could not practice the exercises. They hid in the giant peaks and evil waters, the abyss of the sea, and the spiritual island of Xuan Mountain. They used mist formations to surround themselves Hide yourself, explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, and prolong your life. In their eyes, ordinary humans are no longer their own race, but just weak ants.

After the Qi Sea is the Dao Foundation Realm. Once the Dao Foundation is built, one can hope to have a glimpse of the supreme avenue, completely break away from the ordinary world, and shock the whole party. The level above the Daoji realm is even more terrifying. It is a powerful divine elixir in a state. Every time a divine elixir breaks through, countless creatures within tens of millions of miles around a continent are all communicated by the divine elixir. The vast power of heaven and earth suppresses and overwhelms.

The fourth realm is the realm of Yun Shen. You can survive without a physical body but with the body of the soul. The terrifying existence of this realm has already been created by nature. It has the ability to split the land and split the sea, and can annihilate endless creatures at will. This state has now become a legend here, and no one has reached it in the past tens of thousands of years.

Xu Yan's thoughts were swirling in his heart, and he finally had a general understanding of the realm of cultivation here, but...the realm breakthrough here seems to be much more difficult than that of the Eastern Realm of the Human Realm, and there are many indescribable differences that cannot be generalized at all. .

He put his mind aside for the time being, stood up, and looked at the small jade piece and the remaining ancient book. He knew that this object was a jade slip for storage, which was very precious.

Xu Yan shook his head, put down the small jade piece, and picked up the ancient book. He glanced at it casually, but was shocked and almost fell to the ground by the evil aura of those words. This book is slightly thicker than the ancient book just now. It is written on [Spiritual Blood Sutra and Qi Sea Chapter], but the second half of the book is incomplete, as if half of it had been torn off. The characters above are like blades, as if a burst of bloody evil energy spurts out from the characters. He read a few pages carefully and flipped through them again, and found that the first half of the book recorded some low-level medicinal materials and identification of monsters, as well as some methods for refining low-level elixirs. The second half of the book is about the cultivation methods of the Spiritual Blood Sutra. Unfortunately, it was torn apart after the fourth level.

"It seems that this is the cultivation method of the veteran. The refining methods of these pills are so cruel. This [Spiritual Blood Meridian Qi Sea Chapter] actually includes the Qi Sea Method and Qi Sea Stage cultivation methods. Then The old Taoist must have thought that my technique is the same as his, no wonder he is so crazy. If I can practice..." Xu Yan's mind was spinning, and he kept flipping through the Qi Sea chapter.

He saw that there was a Spiritual Blood Pill in the elixir chapter. The basic elixir was made by squeezing the essence and blood from the heart of each of the seventy-seven forty-nine people, supplemented by common auxiliary medicines such as Mozhi, Huixiang, and Yan'er. Add two finished medicinal ingredients, put them into a copper furnace together, cover the furnace lid and smelt with water, and finally the elixir can be produced. This method of making elixirs is called the ordinary refining method, which is to use ordinary fire and ordinary objects to make elixirs according to the Xuanjia method. The elixirs are not necessarily round, but may be lumps or pastes.

The two Yaoyin are unbroken men and women with spiritual roots. Their whole body flesh and blood are mixed with auxiliary medicine and water to refine them. When Xu Yan saw this, he couldn't help but think of the girl. The old Taoist's purpose of going to Lincheng to recruit disciples was immediately clear.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan's eyes moved, he stood up and ran to the large copper stove in the center of the platform outside the stone house. The fire had long been extinguished. He touched the protruding claws of the copper stove with his toes, grabbed the lid of the copper stove with both hands, and pushed it open with all his strength. When I looked inside the copper furnace lid, I could only smell a fragrant aroma. A piece of soft black paste with a radius of two feet lay quietly at the bottom of the copper furnace. The half of the pot of water that soaked the girl and the medicinal materials had long been boiled dry. This thing should be It is the first smelting medicine.

Xu Yan took out the medicine guide and walked to the edge of the platform. He looked at the sea of ​​clouds rolling under his feet, the rocks protruding, and the strong wind blowing in his face. He could only keep his feet steady and sit cross-legged to avoid being blown away by the strong wind. If he wanted to go down this giant peak, it would be no more than a dream. He was afraid that as soon as he climbed down, he would be blown into the sea of ​​clouds by the strong wind and his body would be shattered to pieces.

He turned around and washed his face with the water in the small stone pool by the fire, washing away all the dried flesh and blood splashed on his face, revealing a face that was both handsome and gloomy, with a pair of starry eyes, and he inadvertently looked at the old man's two faces. Half corpse.

Suddenly, Xu Yan's figure shot up, and when he reached the old Taoist corpse, he frowned and spread his handsome brows, stroking his palms and saying to himself: "Since we are in a dead end, why not take a gamble with yourself, and I will finish the spiritual blood pill for you. , I think you, Mr. Lin, must be a person with spiritual roots. It doesn’t matter whether you are naked or not, there is no other way at this moment. Today I, Xu Yan, will use you to refine my first medicine."

After saying that, he threw the two halves of Lin Laodao's body into the copper furnace, leaving him covered in blood and scraps of flesh. He didn't recognize the medicinal materials, so he simply put all the scattered medicinal materials next to the stone pool into the copper furnace. In the middle, he filled the bottom of the copper stove with branches and firewood, used a wooden bucket to scoop water from the stone pool, and poured it into the copper stove with great effort. These were all prepared by the old Taoist, but he didn't want to but made a wedding dress for Xu Yan.

Xu Yan filled half of the furnace with water, his face was covered with sweat from exhaustion. Although the night sky was cold, he felt hot in his body. With excitement on his face, he took out two branches and rubbed them quickly between his hands. After a while, sparks appeared, and he added more strength. When the branches started to burn, he threw them under the stove.

Lying behind a protruding rock on the edge of the cold platform, looking up at the vast starry sky, waves of exhaustion came over me, I couldn't help but close my eyes and fell asleep...

I opened my hazy eyes and blinked, and I could vaguely see the clear sky above my head. The howling wind blew my messy hair and covered my eyes.

Reaching out to straighten his hair, Xu Yan sat up, feeling sore and numb all over, and moved his body a little. He didn't look at the copper stove that was emitting a fishy smell in the center of the platform behind him. Instead, he leaned on the protruding boulder and stared at the rolling stone in front of him. The endless sea of ​​clouds. He felt as if he was the only one left in the world. The loneliness and loneliness swept through his mind. He shuddered involuntarily and curled up his fragile-looking body even more.

The scattered dark hair on his forehead kept dancing, his slightly closed eyes trembled from time to time, and the black eyelashes could not hide the hidden loneliness in his eyes. Xu Yan sighed and thought of many past events in Xu Jing.

After a while, Xu Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. His eyes were fixed and he murmured: "After refining this spiritual blood pill, I will jump off this giant mountain. Whether I live or die, I can only leave it to fate." ." Turning around and standing up, he found that there was not much water in the stone pool, but I thought it should be enough.

Xu Yan stepped forward, holding back the numbness and weakness in his body, and dug into the half-height copper furnace with his paws on the copper furnace, and took out a soft dark red pill material that exuded the aroma of blood. This must be the flesh and blood essence of the old Taoist mixed with those elixirs. Xu Yan couldn't help but smile when he looked at this thing. This evil Tao killed innocent people indiscriminately, and finally the cause and effect was fulfilled. The haze in his heart seemed to be relieved a little.

Holding this dark red thing in his hand, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of this copper furnace. It looked like just an ordinary copper furnace, but this thing was definitely more than that.

The corpse of the old Taoist was mixed with a bunch of medicinal materials and thrown in. What was added was just mortal water, but this furnace can smelt its essence into one. Presumably this is the [Ordinary Refining Method] alchemy furnace. It has various magical effects for smelting. If it is mortal copper Stove, if the same thing is thrown in, the water will be boiled and the medicinal materials will be stewed into dried meat.

Holding the "Second Medicinal Guide" he had researched in his left hand, he rushed to the stone room and took out the basic elixir. He did not forget that this basic elixir was smelted with the blood of seventy-seven forty-nine people. The smelting method is not as simple as putting it into a copper furnace and calcining it with water. It also requires the assistance of some handprints. Although there are handprints on the pill recipe, it is useless if you don't have spiritual energy to run. Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel glad that the old man had refined it in advance. With this basic elixir material, I could barely imitate the tiger and imitate the cat, and complete this inferior elixir.

He threw the three things directly into the copper furnace, scooped out the last bit of cold and biting water in the stone pool, filled the remaining branches under it, and ignited the fire with the charcoal that had not dried the night before.

Xu Yan took a futon and sat cross-legged, his delicate eyes slightly narrowed, like a crescent moon, which was really beautiful. The trace of spiritual energy in the Dantian keeps running according to the "Zhuan Ling Xin Jue" movement route, getting stronger and stronger, starting from the Shenjue point, and circulating to the Jianggong in the middle Dantian. The speed is getting faster and faster, and it keeps hitting the Jianggong wall. But it was never able to break through.

Every time the inner Qi becomes stronger, it seems that it can break through the Jianggong barrier. When it reaches the thickness of a soybean grain, the inner Qi trembles slightly and slowly dissipates, leaving only the original thickness of a hair, which can no longer grow. one cent.

Xu Yan's face was indifferent, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable. He endured the severe pain in his abdomen, kept an expressionless face, and continued to close his eyes and circulate his inner energy slowly, as if he had forgotten the fact that he had no spiritual roots.

Open your eyes, perform the technique for the last small circle, stand up, look up, and see the bright starry sky outside the dojo. Occasionally, there will be a shooting star with a silver tail streaking across the night sky, and even some Deep in the mountains, if you are unlucky, the meteor will fall in the mountains, causing a disaster of some magnitude.

Xu Yan walked towards the copper stove, with a trace of expectation in his eyes. There was some faint odor in the air. He pushed open the lid of the copper stove, and the stench suddenly amplified. The stench hit his face, making Xu Yan frown. Gastrointestinal peristalsis, almost vomiting out the only acidic water in the stomach.

Xu Yan looked at the smelly black and red "mud" in his hand with confusion, and said that it was just a ball, but its shape was irregular, but there was a hint of roundness.

Xu Yan did not perform any hand seals, but relied on the mortal fire of the mortal furnace to refine them. He did not have much hope. After all, the medicine was wrong. The old man did not know how to break it, and he did not absorb the auxiliary medicine. The power of the medicine was directly refined into it, without using any of the hand seals. This time, this "elixir" was actually produced.

The [Blood Refining Sutra] said that this elixir was extremely miraculous and could make Qi Sea Stage cultivators directly break through a small realm, so this defective product couldn't be too bad, Xu Yan thought without even confirming it.

Looking at this "mud pill" that had been smelted with the flesh and blood of more than fifty people, Xu Yan felt nauseous and vomiting, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. The basic elixir cost forty-nine lives. , or even more, but he wanted to eat it. His stomach, which had not eaten for more than a day, was squirming, as if he saw the "mud balls" in front of him and wanted to have a full meal.

Xu Yan's face was ferocious, and he held tightly the dark red defective "Spiritual Blood Pill" in his right hand, and said fiercely: "This pill combines the essence and blood of the old Taoist's whole body and many spiritual medicines, and it must be effective. Even if I want to jump from this peak, I have to take a gamble first. This pill does not mention the requirements for spiritual roots. It just says that it can improve the Qi Sea realm. If I take it, I can really rise to the Qi Sea realm..." Xu Yan's face became even crazier and he no longer cared about it. How many lives have Dan sacrificed? Let them go to hell. Since you are dead, just be my Xu Yan!

After thinking about it, I took a hard bite of this "elixir" regardless of the fishy smell. The elixir looked like black mud. It was soft and melted in the mouth. It had a combination of fishy fragrance and an indescribable taste.

After swallowing the pill that turned into fluid, Xu Yan felt a stream of heat flow from his throat to his limbs, bones, Dantian, and meridians. His whole body suddenly became extremely hot, his fair face turned red, and he felt an urge to destroy everywhere. .

He felt that his body was filled with explosive power, as if it would explode if it was not vented. Xu Yanqiang suppressed the violence in his heart, stared with blood-red eyes, and shook the remaining large piece of Danni in his hand. Putting it into his undershirt, he touched a stack of talisman papers and two ancient books that had been stored inside his undershirt, as well as the small cloth bag and jade pendant around his waist. Toward the boulder on the edge of the platform.

"Boom", the three-foot-high boulder began to shatter from the palm print, and exploded within a moment. Xu Yan's expression was close to crazy, and the heat in his body was rushing back and forth, as if he was being roasted on a fire. His eyes were bloodshot, and he endured the last trace of clarity in his heart and looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the platform. Here you will starve to death or die in an explosion. You can only risk your life. Your body is different from the mortal body. If you are lucky enough to fall into the huge waterfall or lake in the ring peak, you may be able to save your life.

After thinking about it and not caring about anything else, he reached the edge of the dojo platform in a few steps. He looked at the gray sea of ​​clouds under his feet, the black hair blown by the strong wind, flying behind his head, and his blood-red eyes with a look of calmness or relief. Jump down.
