Exorcism

Mr. Yishi jumped out of the flames on the island, changing into a human for a while, a bird for a while, flying up and down, but no sound came out of his mouth.

"Wake up." Mr. Yishi unceremoniously slipped into the little illusion set by Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu was sitting in the air more than ten feet away from the sea, meditating and practicing, when he heard a cry and opened his eyes, "There are still flames behind you."

Mr. Yishi hurriedly slapped his butt a few times, and the burned holes in his purple robe automatically healed. Then he said nonchalantly: "I can't stay inside the sacred tree anymore. It's getting hotter and hotter, and the flames outside are even more intense. What's going on? Didn't we say ten years? If this continues, the sacred tree will be destroyed within two or three years, and we will all be burned to death."

Mu Xingqiu had long noticed that the flames on the island had spread to the sea. Although the speed was not fast, it was moving step by step. No amount of sea water could stop it. The heat was steaming, and even penetrated into the practice illusion under the sea. However, There is also a benefit: a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rises, so Mu Xingqiu practices in mid-air instead.

But what he is more concerned about now is Mr. Yishi, "How is your practice?"

Mr. Yishi has been in the sacred tree for more than two months, which is long enough. He looked a little embarrassed just now, but there have been some subtle changes compared to before.

Mr. Yishi is a demon of souls and has no body of his own. No matter what form he takes, he always has a light and airy style. He is more fairy-like but less real. He is now a forty-year-old man. His body was transformed from several demon, demon, and Tao artifacts. It was a little dull before, but after more than two months of practice, it looked much more normal, and his movements were no different from those of a normal flesh and blood body.

Mr. Yishi smiled. Now he looks dignified, but his smile is the same as before. He is both cunning and childish at the same time. He can turn into cold or flattering in the blink of an eye. The demon servants such as Yin Buchen are too weak and mainly inherit the flattery. That kind of smile.

"you guess?"

"Have you made three cultivation pills?"

Mr. Ishi shook his head.

"That way I can't guess unless we have a fight."

"Oh, you are so short-sighted. Can't you see that I have a real human body?" Mr. Ishi opened his arms proudly, and his purple robe sparkled in the sun.

"This is your transformed body, you can look whatever you want."

"Hey, let me ask you, what is the difference between humans and monsters?"

Mu Xingqiu felt that this was a very easy question to answer. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. The difference between beast monsters and humans was extremely obvious. Half monsters only had their own characteristics in subtle ways, while non-monsters were lost in the crowd. , there is almost no difference in appearance alone.

"The difference lies within..."

"Stop guessing. Monsters can make demon elixirs, and if they have Dao roots, they can also condense inner elixirs. But humans can't. No matter how hard they try, they can only produce inner elixirs, but some are pure and some are mixed."

"I once had a demon pill..."

"Don't interrupt, you are a special case." Mr. Yishi has not spoken to outsiders for more than two months, and he has been in the illusion for more than a year. He is frustrated, "Why? Because all monsters, no matter how they look, Much like human beings, there is a bit of dead demon seed in their body, even my soul is no exception. The demon seed cannot be separated and has only one use, allowing the demon clan to use the unclean air to cultivate. The unclean air can only produce demons. Dan, if the demon tribe wants to practice inner elixir, it must remove the remaining demon seeds, but the demon seeds cannot be peeled off, so what should be done? It can only be done hard, which is similar to cutting off a hand or an arm. "

"Is this true for non-demon as well?" Mu Xingqiu thought of the non-demon Taoist priests he knew.

"That's right, it's a little less painful. It's a bit like removing a wart on your body, and you have to do it yourself. Haha, so condensing pills for non-demon is more difficult than for humans. It's definitely not possible for non-demon who can't be cruel to themselves."

Mu Xingqiu admired Xiao Qingtao even more. She looked so delicate and timid, but she could actually condense pills. There was also Xiaoyao Feifei. He was pursuing the pill condensation wholeheartedly, but he wouldn't live long, so he might not have to suffer this. Sowing bitterness.

Yishi Junyue became more and more happy as he spoke, pointing to his head, "I am the demon of all souls, and there is still a trace of demon seed left, but now -"

Mr. Yishi deliberately played it off, so Mu Xingqiu had no choice but to continue: "Disappeared?"

"Hey, it's more powerful than disappearing." Mr. Yishi stretched out his right hand, holding a dark green bead the size of an egg in his palm, with four or five clear blood streaks distributed on it, "I sacrificed seven souls, and will the remaining All the demonic seeds were poured into it, and then this treasure was made.”

Mr. Yishi's eyes gleamed and he said sternly: "Who else can be more ruthless to me than me? Hum, I can do it even if I sacrifice three hundred souls... I'll just talk about it, don't be nervous." Shi Jun had to appease hundreds of his souls for bragging.

Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say, but he remembered the scene of the Dao Demon decisive battle he had seen in the black tree bark, "How did human beings come about? It seems that there were no humans when the Dao Demon battle happened 130,000 years ago. ”

Mr. Yishi looked contemptuous and seemed to be blaming Mu Xingqiu for asking about this matter, "You don't think that humans are the descendants of demons, do you? In fact, all the talking races are demons, and they monopolize the demon species. They are the demons, and those who have completely eliminated the demon species are humans. The third ancestor of Taoism is the first demon clan to completely eliminate the demon species, so they are also the first humans. Their first batch of disciples come from the demon clan. After the demon clan dies. , they had no source of disciples, so they had to settle for the next best thing and choose disciples from the demon clan. Those who failed to condense the elixir continued to multiply under the protection of the Taoism. It only took less than 30,000 years for their numbers to decrease. There are more than the demon clan.”

"Then why don't you tell everyone? Maybe you can avoid the hatred between humans and monsters."

"Why should I seek such disapproval? Who can listen to such words? Humans will think that I am talking nonsense, and the monsters will think that I am devaluing myself. In short, there will be no benefit." Mr. Yishi shook his head repeatedly, "If it weren't for Seeing that you are a little curious, I won’t tell you this.”

Mu Xingqiu looked towards the land. Under the impact of the heat, Zhibu Bang's great illusion seemed to be unstable, which made him very worried.

But Mr. Yishi still had more to say, "After talking so much, you should be able to guess my achievements."

"Did you condense a pure inner elixir?" Mu Xingqiu said perfunctorily, deciding to check the illusion later to see if there were any loopholes.

"You are finally smart for once. Haha, it's really interesting. You are a Taoist priest, and the three cultivation elixirs in your body are not pure. I am a demon of many souls, but I have a Taoist inner elixir!"

Yishi Jun stared at Mu Xingqiu, hoping to see many emotions such as surprise, disappointment, jealousy, etc., but it was him who was disappointed. After a while, he asked boringly: "How are you? Have you figured out the True Fantasy Inner Alchemy?" ?”

Mu Xingqiu nodded, still thinking about the impact of the suddenly intensified flames on Zhibu Bang's illusion.

Mr. Yishi held up the dark green bead, "It's called the Demonic Soul Bead. It's at least equivalent to a ninth-level magical weapon. In time, it won't be much different from the nine great treasures of Taoism. Mu Xingqiu, you are no match for me now." , so... hum..."

Lord Yishi was used to being surrounded by flatterers, and was very annoyed by Mu Xingqiu's indifference. In his memory, Mu Xingqiu respectfully asked him for advice more than two months ago.

Mu Xingqiu reached out and took the Demonic Soul Bead and took a look at it, "It is indeed a good thing, but it is still far inferior to the sword washing pool."

Yishi Jun took a breath, his eyes never leaving Mu Xingqiu's hand, "Why...it's impossible for you..."

"Give it back to you." Mu Xingqiu put the bead back into Yi Shijun's hand.

Mr. Yishi took another breath, and when he spoke again, his voice became softer, "What level has your inner elixir reached?"

"Swallow smoke twice."

It is impossible for a real inner elixir to rise from eating rosy to swallowing smoke within a few months. A half-real and half-illusory inner elixir is quite normal. What surprised Mr. Yishi was not this, but that Mu Xingqiu found it so quickly. He knew how to practice the True Illusion Inner Alchemy, and except for that consultation more than two months ago, he had never asked him for help again.

"Which spell are you sure worked?"

Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "I forgot."

"Huh?" Mr. Yishi was confused. It is as impossible for a Taoist priest to forget something as it is for humans and monsters to forget how to eat.

"I only remember the pronunciation, not the words, nor the order. This is my unintentional curse." Mu Xingqiu realized this very early, but it took him almost twenty days to forget the words and order. The real The practice lasted only a little over a month.

Mr. Yishi was stunned, and just when he was about to speak, Mu Xingqiu said: "I finally forgot it, please don't mention it in front of me again."

"Hey, congratulations." Mr. Yishi said sincerely, "But our competition is not over yet. My inner elixir has just been condensed not long ago, so its power is naturally weaker, but it is a real and pure inner elixir. When I arrive, Conquer the realm of Rimang..."

"Time, the key is time. The progress of my practice is getting slower and slower. At this rate, within ten years, my true illusory inner elixir can at most reach the state of mind concentration, and your inner elixir can probably only reach the level of swallowing smoke."

"Hey, do you think I was only practicing during the past period? I figured out a way to buy us a little more time. When I say 'a little', I don't mean a day or two, nor a year or two, but at least dozens. Years. But——”

Mr. Yishi finally saw a hint of surprise on Mu Xingqiu's face, so he paused for a while before continuing: "This method of mine must be assisted by magic from outside Zhibu State. Can you still receive it?"

Mu Xingqiu looked a little confused, "Just a few hours ago, I felt an extremely violent emotion of anger. The person who expressed the emotion seemed to be very familiar with me, but also very unfamiliar. It might be Yang Qingyin, so, I I spread the illusion along with this emotion, but I don’t know if it was really successful.”

Ishi-kun's eyes opened wider and wider, and then he laughed, "Great, we must find out this matter. If your illusion can really be spread, how much time do we need? We can leave Zhibo State directly!"
