Longevity starts with learning

"Spring and Autumn... Twenty years..."

In the long-silent retreat room, a long sigh sounded.

Chu Mu's eyes were full of vicissitudes, and a little spiritual light was still flowing in his eyes, but soon, as his closed mind slowly came into contact with the outside world, all the fluctuations returned to the silence of the ancient well.

He looked around the retreat room. The small space was already a mess, with empty jade bottles scattered all over the floor, and even some flawless white pills scattered on the ground.

In the past few decades, countless spiritual stones were broken. Even though he practiced breathing spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in this small retreat room was so rich that it was almost substantial. Between the bottles and jars, you could even see irregular pieces of spiritual energy crystals condensed.

That is... spiritual stones!

In front of him, the green lotus earth core fire was still burning. In such a rich spiritual environment, the fire seemed to be nourished, and the color of the flame was visibly brighter.

His eyes moved and looked out the window. The seabed was dark, just like before. Even the three caves had not changed at all.

Outside the door, Wangcai was devouring the remains of a monster with relish. The aura of the third-stage middle-stage cultivation was condensed. Obviously, as he expected, Wangcai should have broken through to the third-stage middle-stage long ago.

His eyes moved around and finally returned to himself. Just as he expected, with enough foundation and resources, it only took time to advance his cultivation.

Twenty years of spring and autumn, without any obstacles, it was a natural progression... the middle stage of the golden elixir!

In fact, this time was much earlier than he originally expected.

According to his original expectation, this time might be around thirty years, or even longer.

After all, with his spiritual root aptitude, even if there are abundant resources, it will inevitably greatly prolong this time when he needs to take into account his cultivation foundation.

But this time of retreat and cultivation was really smooth, without any obstacles or interference.

Everything went smoothly until his cultivation was advanced, until today.

Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, and once again carefully felt any slight changes after his cultivation was advanced.

Even if it was just a breakthrough in a small realm, there is no doubt that it would also be derived from the transformation and transition of his spirit, energy and spirit. That immortal golden elixir was obviously on a higher level.

Indistinctly, he seemed to be able to feel the spirit, energy and spirit nurtured in the golden elixir, and in the dark, some natural changes had begun to occur.

Even after his cultivation was advanced, he had felt it countless times in the stable cultivation of several months, but every time he felt it, he seemed to have different insights.

The golden elixir contains the immortal fetus, and the name of the immortal fetus golden elixir is really worthy of its name.

After a long time, Chu Mu returned to reality again. He rolled up his sleeves, and a breeze swept through the room, and the mess disappeared in an instant.

At this time, he looked at the green lotus earth core fire floating in front of him again.

He pondered for a while, raised his hand and wiped it, and dozens of jade boxes fell in front of him. A trace of divine consciousness passed through the jade boxes, and the seals were opened one after another, and the spiritual materials and spiritual objects presented in them were also presented.

There are many spiritual materials, most of which are rare spiritual materials of the third level. There are spiritual medicines with hundreds of years of medicinal age, and there are also third-level demon pills and spiritual materials, but without exception, they are all in the category of wood and water attributes.

For him, refining spiritual fire is simple, simple, and difficult.

With the experience of refining the earth core fire in the demon world, he naturally has experience in how to refine spiritual fire and devour spiritual fire.

It is precisely because of this experience that he has these preparations in front of him.

Refining the Earth Spiritual Fire in the Demon Realm was completely forced, without any preparation or clues, and he was forced to do it.

Although the refining of the Earth Spiritual Fire that time made him realize the specialness of the Great Sun Sutra, it was obvious that the refining without any clues also caused a lot of loss of the effect of the Earth Spiritual Fire.

The benefits obtained were only limited to the transformation of the Great True Fire. As for the cultivation, or the feedback of the spirit, it was undoubtedly pitiful.

It was precisely because of this that after he came out of the secret realm, he also specially recalled and sorted out the process of refining the spirit fire that year, and summarized a set of spirit fire swallowing methods suitable for the Great Sun Sutra.

And these spiritual materials in front of him were prepared around this set of spirit fire swallowing methods.

After all, any heaven and earth spirit fire is nurtured by heaven and earth. If you use words to describe it, it is undoubtedly unruly.

It is impossible for people to refine it without any waves.

In other words, while refining and devouring, the refiner must also bear the backlash from the spiritual fire.

This backlash exists in all aspects.

It depends on the nature of the spiritual fire being refined.

Just like the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in front of him, its backlash must come from its own magic.

Refining magic power, calming the mind and calming the spirit!

On the contrary, it will disorder the magic power, destroy the spiritual veins, disturb the mind, and breed demons.

Everything in the world, every peck and every drink, has a fixed number, that's it.

The so-called blessing and disaster, is just like this.

"Protect the veins, suppress the law, concentrate the mind..."

Chu Mu murmured softly, his eyes fixed on the dozens of spiritual objects in front of him. Wood and water, both of which are mild, are undoubtedly the most suitable to deal with the backlash of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

As a touch of "spiritual light" descended, thoughts flowed with it, and one idea after another also revolved around the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in front of him.

After a short thought, a rough idea emerged in his mind.

A blank jade slip was taken out, and as the information was recorded, the rough idea was gradually filled in.

This process lasted for nearly a month.

As a touch of red appeared in the room, dozens of spiritual materials, under the determined idea, merged into one and turned into corresponding medicines.

In the end, in addition to the beautiful and charming Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, there were only a few emerald green pills and a few light blue crystal water balls hanging in front of Chu Mu.

The name of the pill is the Vessel Protection Pill, which is specially made for protecting the veins, aiming to protect the meridians and dantian, and avoid the backlash of refining and damaging the root.

And this light blue crystal water ball, named Mingguang Lingshui, is an ancient pill recipe recorded in the volume of alchemy inherited by the Xiandao Sect. Its main effect is to cleanse the magic power and suppress the riot of magic power.

It is undoubtedly a perfect match for refining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Chu Mu closed his eyes and regulated his breath for several hours before slowly opening his eyes. His eyes swept across the two spiritual medicines and finally fixed on this beautiful and charming blue lotus earth core fire.

The blue lotus has eight petals, eight blue leaves, and the blue color surrounding the center is as beautiful as the most perfect green jade.

At first glance, in addition to the crystal clear beauty, it also has a kind of feeling that touches people's hearts and makes them want to fall into it.

But if you block your vision and perceive it with your mind, it is as peaceful and calm as if the sky falls and the dust is not stained.

It is very strange and very charming.

At this moment, the blue lotus sways with the sparks, and every time the petals dance, the extremely rich fire attribute aura in the room ripples.

This blue lotus earth core fire is like breathing, and is madly absorbing the almost extremely rich fire attribute aura in the room in an almost greedy state.

In a trance, this green lotus just floated in the rolling spiritual energy, like a rootless duckweed in the sea.

It seems that all this is just an illusion.

Chu Mu looked at it for a while, his eyes were slightly rippled, he naturally knew that all this was an illusion, and it was not wrong.

The green lotus was born in the core of the fire vein, deep in the earth, gathering the creation of heaven and earth, taking root for a thousand years, taking shape for a thousand years, and becoming a lotus for ten thousand years.

This green lotus earth core fire is obviously a green lotus without a doubt.

In other words, it has become a big lotus.

If it is not picked, then this lotus will continue to grow, and after a long time, it is said that all things have spirits, and it is possible that it will also give birth to real spirits and become a spiritual life.

But since this lotus has been picked, it means that the process of all things having spirits has been completely buried.

No matter how much spiritual energy is exhaled and swallowed, it can only maintain the existence of the green lotus itself. It is impossible to grow any more, and it is even more impossible to have the opportunity to become a spiritual life.

After all, it is just... a rootless duckweed without any possibility...

And now, the fate of this rootless duckweed is about to end completely.

Spiritual fire devouring is plundering with the Great Sun True Fire as the core!

Plundering everything from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, turning it into the foundation of the Great Sun True Fire, thus bringing about the transformation of the Great Sun True Fire, and then causing the Great Sun True Scripture to transform accordingly.

The occurrence of these transformations will inevitably prompt him to usher in a benign transformation.

After all, his fire attribute magic power and his cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core are based on this Great Sun True Fire and this Great Sun True Scripture.

Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, and after just a few breaths, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were as deep as the universe and the stars, as if he could see through all the mysteries and secrets in the world.

The sky falls without shock, and the dust is not stained.

His mind moved slightly, and a pill and a water fell into his stomach one after another. As the magic power surged, the vitality of the medicine, as gentle as spring water, surged to his body in an instant.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the sound of the knife exploded, the bright blade crossed the sea of ​​consciousness, and the sharp edge was crisscrossed in the sea of ​​consciousness. It seemed that there were countless knife lights flashing in the sea of ​​consciousness. All external interference, if you want to interfere with your mind, you must first break through this endless sharpness.

And to do this...

Killing him directly may be easier.

As the majestic divine consciousness surged out, it enveloped the blue lotus earth core fire, and a big sun true fire emerged. As the divine consciousness flowed, it began to absorb and plunder all the mysteries belonging to the blue lotus earth core fire.

As if it had sensed the upcoming fate, the blue lotus, which was originally calm, also violently churned.

As the cluster of flames burned and surged, the space around the flames actually showed some obvious signs of distortion!

At the same time, the green flame suddenly surged, and in the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped the retreat room.

The flames roared and rolled, making a hissing sound. The surrounding air was burned into nothingness by the blazing green flames. Even the extremely rich fire attribute aura in the room was ignited by the green flames, and the whole room was completely turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The door, walls, wooden windows, and even the formations all over the flying boat, and even the sea water outside the flying boat, were all sizzling, as if they would be burned and annihilated at any time.

Chu Mu's breathing was a little hurried, the veins on his forehead bulged, and sweat dripped. It was obvious that he was under great pressure.

This kind of pressure was undoubtedly something he had never experienced when he refined the earth spirit fire.

After all, before refining the Heart Fire, he did not know the strange devouring and transforming effect of the Great Sun Sutra. He treated the Soul Fire with an extremely simple refining method and a refining mentality. That heart-fire.

He didn't intend to take away all the mysteries of that place's inner fire and devour it completely.

It wasn't until the refining was completed and the earth's soul was burned into his own that he realized the strangeness of the Mahavairocan Sutra.

But this time, from the beginning, he treated this Qinglian Earth Core Fire with the method of plundering and devouring it. In this way, he could naturally plunder everything in the Qinglian Earth Core Fire to the greatest extent.

But there is no doubt that it will also trigger the strongest instinctive counterattack of Qinglian's Earth Core Fire.

A lotus that has lasted for thousands of years, even if it only instinctively absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, has a majestic foundation for thousands of years, which is obviously unimaginable.

The only good thing is that Qinglian is ignorant, everything is just an instinctive backlash. If it is just instinctive, the power of this kind of backlash cannot be concentrated.

What he needs to face is only part of the backlash.

But the horror of just this part of the backlash seemed to be beyond Chu Mu's expectations.

The rioting sea of ​​green lotus fire indiscriminately swept through everything that could be destroyed around it.

Including him, and this sky-breaking spaceship that he regarded as a life-saving trump card!

"Gather!"

Chu Mu let out a loud shout, and his terrifying energy, which was so thick that it was no less than that of ordinary golden elixirs in the later stage, exploded. The surging and majestic power fiercely enveloped the rioting sea of ​​fire, and then... there was a bang. , suddenly compressed into a fireball about ten feet in size.

The fireball was chaotic, and the majestic suppressive power was confronting the rioting sea of ​​​​green lotus fire. It seemed that it would explode at any time, wiping out everything.

Chu Mu looked ferocious, rolled up his robe, took the fireball into his arms, stepped out with a fierce step, and stepped out of the almost crumbling sky-breaking airship.

Sizzssssssssss...

The collision of fire and water was a continuous roar like the explosion of firecrackers. Under the terrifying high temperature, Chu Mu headed towards the ravine on the seabed, and a vacuum channel was formed at this moment.

And the sea water in it was burned away at that moment.

When Chu Mu went hundreds of miles into the ravine and sat cross-legged in the simple cave he had originally opened, he looked up again and could even see a passage in the vacuum of the seabed.

The scorching heat of the true fire remains, and in the darkness of the seabed, it looks like a blue fire dragon rising into the sky from the bottom of the sea. The blending of water and fire is both beautiful and terrifying.

At this moment, Chu Mu seemed to be unable to control the rioting Qinglian's inner fire anymore. After the forcibly supported suppression dispersed, just for a moment, the rioting Qinglian's inner fire swept across again, and the sea water vaporized, A realm of green lotus fire was suddenly formed on the bottom of the sea!

This ordinary cave, and even the surrounding stone walls, were also cracking rapidly visible to the naked eye in the sudden spread of the sea of ​​fire. Huge cracks spread at an almost ferocious speed.

In just a moment, it spread all over the entire cave, all over this ravine, riddled with holes, cracks, and a sea of ​​green lotus fire, which was still raging and consuming everything around it.

If he were to force the sky-breaking flying boat to devour the fire at this moment, the sky-breaking flying boat, which he regarded as a life-saving trump card, would probably be annihilated by the rioting sea of ​​​​green lotus fire at this moment.

Chu Mu has regained his composure. In the flying boat, the reason why he was so embarrassed was because he underestimated the terror of the fire riot. Therefore, what he had to face was not just the backlash of this fire against him. He also had to fight off all the other counterattacks.

After all, he was refining this fire in that sky-breaking airship at that time. If he had left it alone and allowed the rioting Green Lotus Sea of ​​Fire to hit, the outcome would have been completely conceivable.

But now, he no longer had any worries, he was just facing some backlash, and with all his preparations, he was naturally able to handle it with ease.

He sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​fire, with red flames swirling around his body, just like a human-shaped black hole. The green lotus fire sea surging around him was almost visible to the naked eye as it was plundered and absorbed by the red flames.

Under such predatory absorption, the mysterious origin of Qinglian's Earth Core Fire also penetrated through the surface and submerged into the body bit by bit.

The devouring and refining of Qinglian's inner fire has completely begun.

And the deeper backlash disorder also kicked off.

At this moment, Chu Mu's attention was focused on the Qinglian Sea of ​​Fire that was no longer rioting in the outside world when this deeper chaos was backlash.

All his mind sank into his body, controlling the true fire of the sun to engulf Qinglian's inner fire. At the same time, he also suppressed the instinctive backlash of Qinglian's inner fire.

As the wisps of the mysterious origin of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire are taken into the body, mottled blue ripples can be clearly seen in the body and the criss-crossing meridians of the Zhiyang Zhigang's red mana.

And these green mottled colors are the mysterious origin of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire that flows through the meridians and finally reaches the Dantian, where it will be swallowed up by the True Fire of the Great Sun.

It is a very domineering and ambitious method of plundering, which is to break apart the profound secrets and mysteries of Qinglian's Earth Heart Fire for thousands of years, bit by bit, and then completely devour it without missing a trace.

Compared with the soul fire he had been refining in a daze before, when he finally realized it and barely drank a little bit of the remaining soup, he was countless times more clever and greedy.

In this way, not only can he perfectly devour the mystery of the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire and turn it into the foundation of the transformation of the Great Sun True Fire, but he can also plunder the vast foundation accumulated by the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire for thousands of years and turn it into the nourishment for his cultivation progress.

This is also the fundamental reason why he chose to retreat to break through his cultivation first, and then devour this Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire.

After all, the foundation of the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire's thousands of years of growth is too magnificent. Even if it is devoured and refined by the Great Sun True Fire, what is finally fed back to him must be an extremely huge amount of pure energy.

The higher his cultivation, the more energy impact he can withstand.

The more he withstands, the greater the benefits for him.

There is no doubt that the more you want, the greater the price you have to pay.

At this moment, the source of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire that penetrated deep into his body, even though he had made many preparations and tried his best to suppress it, under the instinctive resistance of the magic power and the instinctive backlash of these Azure Lotus Earth Core Fires, in just a moment, the crisscrossing meridians in his body became a mess!

These blue flames containing terrifying energy shuttled randomly in the meridians, and everything that blocked them seemed to be burned into nothingness.

As these blue flames shuttled and burst out, the effects of the meridian protection pill and the bright light spirit water emerged one after another, and the emerald green and light blue complemented each other in the body. While resisting the bursting blue flames, they also protected the meridians and body and stabilized the disordered magic power.

But even so, the terrifying high temperature still had a part that was uncontrollably passed through this double protection and began to ravage the body.

Sitting cross-legged, the body was clearly covered with traces of burnt black and bloodstains, and the severe pain made the body twist and tremble almost uncontrollably.

His muscles were tense, and the blue veins like fleshworms kept twitching. His pale face was bloodless, but from time to time, blood surged up, or suddenly burned black. His long hair was almost gone in an instant.

Compared with the external sea of ​​fire, the internal backlash and erosion were obviously more terrifying.

Chu Mu's expression was still calm. He practiced the Great Sun Sutra, using the Great Sun True Fire as the source, and practiced both magic power. From the Qi Training Stage to the Golden Core Stage, his body and magic power can be said to have gone through countless trials.

Although his resistance to fire is not yet immune, his ability to withstand it has undoubtedly reached an incredible level.

Although the current situation is terrifying and will cause him serious injuries, it is far from being a fatal threat.

Unless he is greedy enough to take the entire Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire into his body and want to completely consume it.

But obviously, he did not act in this way. He just swallowed it bit by bit within a controllable range.

And the price he has to pay, according to his estimation, should eventually be... severely injured.

And the extent of the severe injury depends on whether there will be any unexpected abnormalities in the subsequent swallowing and refining process.

Compared with the benefits he will get, this price is undoubtedly not worth mentioning.

Another pulse-protecting pill, a ball of bright spiritual water entered his stomach, and the medicinal effect burst out again, adding a few more shackles to the raging Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in his body. Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, and his mind was flowing. The devouring and refining of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was also continuing in an orderly manner.

At this moment, in the outside world, Wangcai had already lurked outside the raging Azure Lotus Fire Sea, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

The sword-willed war puppet was also hidden in the surrounding void, connecting with dozens of surrounding blue bird puppets, monitoring everything within a hundred miles around.

The supreme order from Chu Mu was to kill any uncontrollable creatures that approached this place.

As for what is uncontrollable, that is, except for Wangcai, any creature that approaches this place is uncontrollable!
