Strange mountains and rivers

The night is deep and everything is silent.

The moon is as bright as snow.

The benefits brought by the nine-color antlers are becoming more and more obvious, and the ability of spiritual consciousness and insight is greatly improved.

The energy and blood in the meridians in the spirit body, and the changes in the Danhai cauldron, are all clearly reflected in the spiritual consciousness.

The tiger spirit surges, swallows the moonlight, and nourishes itself. This is the most common situation, but this time, there is an additional resentful spirit that is also ready to move.

The resentful spirit that had been freed of ghost energy was more like a pure spiritual seed, but what shocked Chen Huaisheng even more was that this spiritual seed perfectly retained consciousness and memory.

When her spiritual consciousness entered the spiritual body, Ou Wan'er's (Su Siniang) spiritual seed immediately sensed it, which was more sensitive than the two spirits of tiger and ape.

Chen Huaisheng wasn't sure how Ou Wan'er, an ordinary woman, could gather souls into spiritual seeds. He didn't know the mysterious truth behind this.

But there are many mysterious and unexplainable things in all things born in nature. This is the essence of the thousands of worlds.

Just like cultivating immortals, there are many things in it that everyone has summarized by themselves, and there are countless things that cannot be explained.

Why the difference between Taoism and mortals comes from spiritual roots and bones, but why mortals cannot practice Taoism with their spiritual roots, and where the spiritual roots and bones of Taoism are located are all unexplainable.

The experience accumulated over thousands of years is that innate Tao seeds can quickly make breakthroughs in Tao practice and continue to rise, while ordinary mortals, if they follow the rules of practice, either have no effect or go crazy, without exception.

Maybe this is the setting of everything created by heaven.

The moonlight is surging, the tiger spirit is feeding with big mouthfuls, and the resentful spirit is also quietly feeding.

Soon the tiger spirit transferred into the meridians and started running according to Chen Huaisheng's spiritual power. However, after hesitating for a long time, the resentful spirit finally followed Jiwei and entered the meridians after the tiger spirit.

Thirty-six rounds later, the tiger spirit returned to the cauldron, and the resentful spirit followed. The tiger spirit sucked the moonlight and spiritual power and fed back the spiritual liquid that slowly flowed into the cauldron and seeped into the wall of the cauldron.

But on the other hand, the resentful spirit only absorbs and nourishes itself, but has no intention of feeding back. This greatly surprised Chen Huaisheng, who is a spiritual observer.

Could it be that this guy really wants to live in his own body and grow stronger, waiting for the right time to escape from his body and become a ghost?

As soon as the spiritual consciousness entered the cauldron, the tiger, ape, and resentful spirits were all shocked.

That time the ape spirit was touched by Chen Huaisheng's spiritual consciousness and was forced to re-enter the meridians to perform the exercises during non-morning hours. Without Rihua's supplement, the ape spirit had to rely only on devouring the spiritual power in the meridians during the exercise. But he was far from satisfied and exhausted himself.

Then it seemed that the spiritual master had understood something, and he no longer forced himself to perform the exercises in the morning and evening. Why did he come again today?

The tiger spirit was also startled. He had just finished his exercise, and the moonlight he had swallowed had already fed back to him. Why did he come back?

Not finished?

Do you really want to drain yourself dry and eat everything you can, and catch all the benefits you can get?

The resentful spirit is even more alert. Is it targeting him?

The three spirits all became alert, huddled together and hibernated.

Spiritual consciousness slowly passed through the cauldron.

There are three tripods in the cauldron. The two spirits of tiger and ape originally occupied one side, but now the resentful spirits have joined in and occupied one corner. Now they are really the same as the three legs of the cauldron, each occupying one side.

But there is no doubt that the area controlled by the ape spirit is the largest, followed by the tiger spirit and the resentful spirit.

After devouring the original ghost energy of the resentful spirit, the tiger spirit seemed to have grown in strength. However, the ghost energy was different from the spiritual energy and appeared to be mixed and impure. The tiger spirit was still in a state of continuously dissolving the devoured ghost energy.

On the contrary, it is a resentful spirit. After the ghost energy that originally enveloped it was swallowed up and destroyed, it becomes extremely pure, and it is a pure spiritual spirit seed.

Sensing the vigilance and fear of the three spiritual seeds towards him, Chen Huaisheng also found it a little funny.

After taking the nine-color deer antler powder, not only did my spiritual awareness greatly increase, but I also seemed to have some ability to comprehend the intentions of the spiritual species.

There is a record in "Records of Strange Beasts": The nine-colored sacred deer comes out of the Kunlun Valley and travels on the hills of sand to search for wisdom and gain charm. Eating its horns and antler can increase wisdom, spiritual intelligence, and spiritual enlightenment.

The general meaning is that the nine-color sacred deer is a divine beast with wisdom. If you eat its horns, you can gain wisdom and spiritual enlightenment, that is, you can communicate with the gods.

This communication with the gods is a bit exaggerated. The gods seem to only exist in the consciousness of the high cultivators above the Zi Mansion. It is too profound for those below the foundation.

But Chen Huaisheng felt that he seemed to have a little more connection with the spiritual species in his body, or that he had a little more understanding of every move of these spiritual species.

Ordinary cultivators may have never even heard of this so-called spiritual seed.

Even Chen Huaisheng only heard a few things from Wu Tianen through insinuations, but even Wu Tianen himself only had a partial understanding and no accurate explanation.

The two spirits of tiger and ape in his body seem to be some kind of foreign object or some kind of avatar of a divine object, or a gathering of spiritual power, which hides in his body under certain circumstances, and then survives as a sojourn.

During the battle with the demon spirit Su Siniang, he had no choice but to drive the tiger and ape spirits out of his body and let them fight with Su Siniang outside his body.

After swallowing up the ghostly spirit of Su Siniang, the resentful spirit has no place to rest on and will definitely be melted by the sun after dawn. It is also difficult for the tiger and ape spirits to find a suitable host, so they are forced to return to their homes. Come into the cauldron within your own body.

Now he can use his spiritual consciousness to slowly penetrate and touch these three spiritual species, and use this method to perceive and even communicate.

It's just that my "goodwill" doesn't seem to be recognized by them. The tiger and ape spirits are highly vigilant, while the resentful spirit is more vigilant and on guard.

From the confrontation between tigers and apes to the tripartite confrontation, the cauldron of heaven and earth formed by their own spiritual bodies has become their shelter. The spiritual power in their bodies has become the nourishment for their survival. Of course, their feedback belongs to the cauldron. It has also become a help to improve one’s own practice.

The two spirits of the tiger and the ape are easy to talk about, and I can already figure out some things, but it is still unclear what role the newly added resentful spirit will play in the future.

And from the current point of view, the amount of spiritual power it follows the tiger spirit to swallow does not seem to be large, but once the spiritual species grows stronger, it will definitely increase day by day.

But if this spiritual species does not feed back the spiritual liquid and return it to the cauldron like the two spirits of tiger and ape, then this spiritual species has no value in existence.

Maybe I should practice a fire-based magic and refine it in this heaven and earth creation furnace?

It seemed that he was aware of Chen Huaisheng's spiritual consciousness shrouding it, and his resentment tightened even more as he sensed the other party's ill intentions.

Observe further, Chen Huaisheng gave up the idea of ​​touching the resentful spirit. Was he too eager to get things done?

He took back his spiritual consciousness, placed it on the cauldron again, and carefully observed the changes in the cauldron.

It has only been two months since the tripod furnace first entered the fourth level of Qi Refining, but there have been some changes in the tripod body.

At first, some of the fleshy red and thin cauldron walls became much thicker. This solidity and thickness came not only from the paving of the spiritual liquid fed back by the tiger and ape spirits, but also from the continuous refining of the cauldron furnace absorbing spiritual power from the meridians. growth.

This progress is very stable, but during the battle at Oujiazhai, the cauldron furnace seemed to be affected. The color of the cauldron furnace wall changed from red to white.

Perhaps this should be a phenomenon caused by excessive consumption of spiritual energy and injury to the spiritual body. It will take time to recover to the original state and then re-enter the positive growth path.

As long as there are enough spiritual food and spiritual materials to replenish, this shouldn't be a problem.

After recuperating his energy, Chen Huaisheng stood up.

Tong Tong is right, his Taoist temple is still too cold and simple. When he comes back after the Shangyuan Taoist meeting, he may need to buy some things, at least it must be like a nest.

Walking out of the Taoist Temple, there is a wide and flat flat dam in front, offering a panoramic view of the entire Zonglang Valley.

The Zonglang Valley under Zonglang Ridge is not very large. The flattest area is in the shape of a long strip, winding to the mouth of the valley. It is about three hundred steps long and about fifty steps wide.

Although this plot of land looks flat, it is actually still slightly undulating.

The Taoist temple is built against the foothills of the mountain, while the cave is halfway up the mountain.

At present, Chen Huaisheng does not have much energy to take care of the cave, so he can only leave it closed.

This flat valley has been smoothed and the weeds and shrubs have been cleared away. It is suitable for practicing swords and spells. There is no need to go to the mountains to find a suitable practice place.

The Yitian Sword came out, and a clear light shone on it. Chen Huaisheng put his fingers on the sword leaf and tapped the sword.

The sword leaves made a soft sound.

A burst of pride surged into his chest.

With a light leap, his body was already hanging in the air, and his hand suddenly flipped over and flew out.

With a scream, Yitian flew straight out, and was already ten feet away in an instant. This was the ultimate distance that Chen Huaisheng could control the sword. Any further away would be difficult to control.

With the finger pulling bit by bit, Yi Tian made a gorgeous loop close to the ground, flew rapidly with a white cold light, and accelerated back again.

Chen Huaisheng raised his hand again, and Yitian flew past him, stabbing three feet away from his back, bringing up the sleeves of his Taoist robes.

After manipulating several gestures in succession, Chen Huaisheng felt that his spiritual power was being consumed very quickly. It was still difficult for him to master this sword-controlling skill at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Even people like Zhao Sitian, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, still have reservations about sword control, believing that its combat power is still not as lethal as wielding a sword with sword energy and sword energy.

But if it is at the level of foundation building, then sword control is a compulsory skill, and if you can combine spells with sword control, you can be called a true swordsman.

Withdrawing the Yitian Sword, Chen Huaisheng jumped into the air, raised his breath suddenly, and climbed another three feet. The sword in his hand flashed, the body and sword became one, and he suddenly shot out, heading straight for a towering mass thirty steps away. of mounds.

"kill!"

The sword energy surged, and in the blink of an eye, seventy-nine swords were slashed out in succession, creating thousands of waves of swords, swaying and dancing, surrounding the entire mound with critical strikes.

On the periphery of the mound is a thick stone statue specially erected, which is also what Chen Huaisheng used to test the growth of his sword strength.

Countless sword shadows, light and fire splashed out, and countless slashes tore apart the stone statue's body.

It shows that there is a virtual point on the top of the mound. The body is raised three feet higher. The Heavenly Sword is reversed and stabbed back. Thirty-three swords float out. The majestic sword energy superimposes to form a wave mountain like water overflowing with gold. One after another, they rushed towards the mound.

The seven stone statues finally exploded in this round of consecutive attacks and flew in all directions.

After taking a breath to calm his breathing, Chen Huaisheng landed on the ground to observe.

Compared with when I first reached the fourth level of Qi refining, I have made considerable progress in the Aiki combo cuts. In two months, the strength and speed of the combo cuts have increased by about 10%, which is quite satisfactory.

The only regret is that Combo Slash has limited growth and cannot stay with me for too long.

Or the Yin Ming Arrow is more suitable for me.

Pulling the sword back into its sheath, Chen Huaisheng mixed his breath.

Still leaping in the air with an arrow, he jumped up and walked against the wind. He was ten steps away and arrived in a flash. He aimed the gestures in his hands at the huge wooden stakes five feet away and popped them out one after another.

Chen Huaisheng could feel that when the spiritual power in his body was transformed into the Yin Ming Qi, it had a different and cooler aura, and it was even colder and more erosive.

Suddenly realizing something, Chen Huaisheng's heart skipped a beat, but the posture and intensity of his hands remained unchanged.

The wooden stake is already thicker than when he first cultivated the Yin Ming Arrow. At that time, it was only one level of Yin Ming Arrow, but now he can easily fire multiple four levels of Yin Ming Arrow in succession.

This is Chen Huaisheng's most important spell. He wants to see what level he can reach with his growth in Yin Ming Arrow.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

As his fingertips flew and energy exploded, the entire wooden stake and the straw rope wrapped around it began to shatter and fly. Chen Huaisheng fired nine consecutive blows around the three wooden stakes before stopping the momentum and landing.

The wooden pile as thick as a bucket was wrapped with dragon grass specially used for testing, but now the toughness of the dragon grass was no longer enough to withstand the power of his Yin Ming Arrow, so Chen Huaisheng wrapped it with triple black sandalwood skin inside.

This kind of wood bark is three times tougher than dragon grass. One layer of black sandalwood bark is roughly equivalent to nine layers of dragon grass. Three layers of black sandalwood bark plus nine layers of dragon grass are enough to withstand the impact of his own Yin Ming arrows.

You don’t need to look at the Nine-Layered Dragon Grass, even if you are at the second level of Qi Refining, you can easily defeat it. At the third-level Yinming Arrow, the Nine-Layered Dragon Grass and a layer of black sandalwood skin have been shocked into powder, and the second layer of black sandalwood skin has been shattered. There is damage. Now that the Yin Ming Arrow is at the fourth level, it is estimated that the second layer of black sandalwood skin will be almost shattered.

As expected, the three layers of sandalwood skin were shattered with each blow. The first two layers had turned into crispy powder, and only the third layer remained in the form of crumbs the size of rice grains.

The energy of Yin Ming's arrow penetrated deeply into the bamboo core flower filled in Mu's heart. This is the standard for testing the properties of energy.

Chen Huaisheng carefully observed the Bamboo Core Flower because he felt that the Yinming Arrow he released today was different from the past.

The frost in Zhuxinhua's heart was biting, which he expected.

He doubled the thickness of the cottonwood, but still couldn't resist the coldness that penetrated into his bones.

But he carefully picked up the bamboo core flower stamens and observed them. Not only was it refreshing, but there was also a dark malaise in its color. When he touched it with his hand, a spreading sense of erosion ran up his fingers.

With a turn of spiritual power, this corrosive feeling was eliminated, and Chen Huaisheng confirmed his feeling.

Sure enough, the cauldron absorbed the tiger spirit's regurgitated spiritual fluid, which was mixed with strong corrosive properties after swallowing a large amount of ghost energy.

And now, as expected, the corrosive attribute of ghost energy has been transferred to his spirit body, allowing him to bring it out naturally when he casts spells.

The overjoyed Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but rub his hands and stood in front of the wooden pile and turned around.

The increase in Qi strength is reasonable. After all, it has been two months since I refined Qi to the fourth level. However, it is obviously not realistic to reach the fourth level of Yin Ming Arrow. This is closely related to the realm of cultivation.

But things are different now. Maybe I can name it the Yinming Ghost Arrow?

There are actually mana with corrosive properties, but the corrosive properties brought by this ghost energy can be called wet corrosion and are extremely active.

In other words, it is different from the kind of corrosive toxicity. It is a corrosive that has the nature of automatic growth. It has full coverage of lethality for living creatures, or spiritual and alien cultivators.

And it is difficult for you to eliminate it with ordinary spiritual power, unless you use the original spiritual power to resist abrasion.

Even if your spiritual root is a spiritual element with attributes such as water, earth, wood, metal, etc., the effect may not be good, half the result with twice the effort.

Only the fire attribute or the thunder attribute spirit element derived from it can have a better elimination effect.

I really didn’t expect that my trip to Oujiazhai would yield such unexpected results. The ghost spirit of Ou Wan’er (Su Siniang) had been devoured by the tiger spirit for decades, but now its effectiveness can be fed back into the cauldron. in, for one's own use.

This harvest is said to be worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones, but I'm afraid it's about the same.

With this Yinming ghost arrow close by, I will go to Bianjing to participate in the Shangyuan Taoist meeting, and I will be three points more confident.

Before, I had been worried that the Tianluo Magic Shield could not reach a satisfactory level. In terms of offense, the four-fold Yin Ming Arrow might be barely enough to deal with monks of the same level. But if you want to be a blockbuster and stunning, I'm afraid you have to fight with some In a competition between monks who are at a higher level than himself, such as those at the fifth level of Qi Refining, or even the sixth level of Qi Refining, he doesn't have much chance of winning.

When King Kong fought against him, he deeply felt the crushing power of a higher realm. It was really not something that ordinary people could reverse. If he hadn't attacked first, then used the fire wheel to stab him again, the opponent would have been able to beat him to death alive. .

But now that he has the Yinming Ghost Arrow, he has a little more protection.

He is even looking forward to the Shangyuan Taoist Meeting now.

During this period, you should spend more energy on the cultivation of the Yinming Ghost Arrow. This will be your trump card.

The only regret is that the ghost energy is limited. Although the tiger spirit can devour a lot, the resentful spirit has become a pure spiritual species, and there is no more ghost energy for the tiger spirit to devour.

Maybe, if there is a chance in the future, can I force this resentful spirit to absorb the ghost energy again, and then let the tiger spirit swallow it for my own use?

Didn't Kou Qing say that Beimang Mountain is full of ghosts? Maybe he can find a chance to go there?

Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but admire his fantastic idea. Maybe it really works. You will know if it works after you try it.
