Beast Mastery

Inside the closed stone door, Zhang Nuo sat quietly on the stone bed. A faint spiritual energy surrounded his body and was slowly rotating. The spiritual energy was like misty clouds. Even his unintentional breathing would make them

Change form immediately.

With his eyes slightly closed, Zhang Nuo was like an old monk in trance, indifferent to things outside his body. He had been sitting in meditation like this for almost a month. The pain and struggle in his heart was more difficult than the physical fatigue.

Endurance, but that’s what cultivation is like, you have to be able to endure loneliness and pain.

The spiritual energy slowly faded, and finally disappeared. Zhang Nuo slowly opened his eyes, a pair of eyes as clear as a stream, but a bitter smile hanging at the corner of his mouth made the whole person look a little haggard.

After this year of practice, he has advanced from the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage to the eighth level. This speed is not slow. You know, it is not difficult to practice the first few levels of the Qi Refining Stage. It is difficult.

It's just that the last few levels, especially the ninth level, require far more spiritual energy than the previous levels. Ever since he entered the eighth level, Zhang Nuo has been attacking the ninth level, but all ended in failure.

He glanced at the "Nine Dragon Sword Box" beside him. For more than a year, Zhang Nuo had benefited a lot from gathering spiritual energy every night. However, the concentration of spiritual energy now was far from enough for his cultivation. At this speed, Zhang Nuo

, even if it takes another three years, you may not be able to cultivate to the ninth level.

Thinking of the sword box, Zhang Nuo thought of the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" in his arms. He took out the spirit worm and held it on the palm of his hand. He saw that this little thing was still sleeping soundly, with no intention of waking up.

No. When it was in the Shenjian Mountains, it didn't know how many metal mines it ate, and it actually slept for a whole year.

Zhang Nuo very much hoped that it would wake up immediately, so that the "white black crystal stone" would be produced. He reached out and touched the carapace of the spirit insect, and a cool feeling came from it.

"Wake up quickly!"

Mouthing in a low voice, Zhang Nuo said helplessly, but the spirit insect did not hear his words at all and still fell asleep "snoring".

After a while, seeing that the spirit insect still didn't respond, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to put it into his arms again. He took a small bottle from the storage bag, poured out a grain of "Bigu Pill" and drank it. He immediately felt hungry in his belly.

The feeling was relieved a lot. I sat down again, held the seals with both hands, and began to practice again.

This sitting lasted for another month. On this day and night, the "Nine Dragon Sword Box" began to gather spiritual energy. Zhang Nuo seized this opportunity and greedily absorbed it. The spiritual energy circulated continuously in the meridians, and slowly the concentration reached

After reaching the peak, Zhang Nuo frowned. This was a good opportunity to hit the ninth floor.

Before he had time to think about it, the seal in his hand changed. Zhang Nuo took a deep breath. At the same time, the blood flow in his body accelerated, and the surface of his skin gradually turned dark red.

The spiritual energy that was originally floating quietly around Zhang Nuo suddenly became restless. Soon, the spiritual energy formed a vortex around him, and at the center of the vortex was Zhang Nuo, whose face was as colored as pig liver.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

The sound of swirling spiritual energy sounded regularly, but Zhang Nuo could no longer hear the sound. He silently recited the ninth level of "Sword Control Technique" in his heart, and pressed all the spiritual energy in his body.

Introduce the mental method.

The introduction process is very painful. The spiritual energy hits the meridians, which is like developing a new meridians in the body. Pain, numbness and itching are all felt at the same time. This is a process that ordinary people cannot bear, although Zhang Nuo has been prepared in his heart.

, but the bursts of severe pain still made him frown.

As the spiritual energy increased, the surface of Zhang Nuo's body became more and more blood-red. Finally, his skin seemed to be completely transparent, and the blood was flowing rapidly under the skin. The scene was strange and scary.

"puff!"

It lasted for nearly two hours, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out from Zhang Nuo's mouth. At the same time, the swirling spiritual energy that had formed around him disintegrated in an instant. The spiritual energy slowly dispersed and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The blood-red color on Zhang Nuo's body gradually returned to its original skin color, but his face was completely pale, without any trace of blood. There is no doubt that this attack on the ninth floor failed again.

With a deep sigh, Zhang Nuo soon realized that not only had he failed this time, but he also seemed to have suffered internal injuries. Based on his past experience of failed attempts, he was seriously injured this time.

My internal organs seemed to be out of place, and every one of them was painful, as if there were millions of ants gnawing on them.

"not good!"

Zhang Nuo was shocked. This feeling was a sign that his meridians were reversed and he went crazy. If he didn't control it, within an hour, he would have spent all his cultivation, or at worst, his life would be gone.

He endured the huge pain and sat back down. He held up the seals with both hands and controlled the spiritual energy in his body to flow in the normal order. As time passed little by little, big beads of sweat rolled down Zhang Nuo's forehead and appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Blood flowed out again. The severe pain made his facial features deformed, and his teeth made a "gurgle" sound.

Half a day later, another mouthful of blood spurted out. Zhang Nuo collapsed on the stone bed. His clothes were soaked with sweat all over his body. He was breathing heavily and looking straight at the top of the room.

Fortunately, Zhang Nuo discovered it in time and did not let the obsessive situation spread. Although he suffered serious internal injuries, his cultivation was finally saved.

It was only then that Zhang Nuo felt a little regretful for being too eager for success. If he had spent some time stabilizing his cultivation when he first entered the eighth level, what happened today would not have happened.

Now that the internal organs of his body have been damaged to varying degrees, it will take at least half a year to fully recover, which invisibly lengthens the time it takes for him to reach the ninth level.
