Chapter 250: Northbound
Du Shen left Fengshan and headed north to the border of the Great Liang Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He found a small town at random and temporarily rented the private courtyard of an inn.
Du Shen went into seclusion in the courtyard. He recuperated for a few days and concluded that the town was calm and peaceful, and that there would be no surprises. Du Shen slowly pulled the fake pill out of his body.
This process is long and painful. Du Shen gradually closed his six senses and severed his connection with Jindan. As the fake pill and the true yuan continued to be withdrawn from his body, Du Shen felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, as if he was terminally ill and would lose his breath at any time.
Weakness is just an illusion and is the body's natural response to a lack of energy. In fact, without the fake pill, Du Shen's body and strength are at the peak of the innate martial artist.
Most of the true elements in the body were extracted by Du Shen along with the fake pill. However, there are still a small number of remnants of Du Shen's limbs. These residual true elements have a very high energy level, but they are mixed and lack spirituality, and are not suitable for refining and absorption. Instead, they can become an obstacle to the practice of the Pure Body.
In order to get rid of them, Du Shen ingested the famous poison "Hua Gong San" in the spiritual world. As the name suggests, Hua Gong San is a kind of poison that can dissipate the true qi and true yuan in the monk's body.
No matter what kind of cultivation you do, if you are not a monk above the Jindan, you will damage your body if you take Huagongsan. Du Shen was also not spared, but fortunately, he had already fused the candle dragon bloodline, and his recovery power was higher than that of ordinary people.
The amount of chemical power powder used by Du Shen is relatively large. Not only did it completely remove the remaining true elements in the body, but it also completely wiped out the true qi generated by "Qianyuan Gong".
Du Shen took this opportunity to pure the true qi in his body. He didn't use pills, he ate a rich diet every day, and relied on himself to regain his true qi bit by bit.
During this period, because of the remnants of the dispersion of power, Du Shen's true qi increased and decreased, decreased and increased, and it was a lot of tug-of-war. Du Shen devoted himself to cultivation, and it took more than 20 days to finally return to the cultivation of true qi.
Du Shen spent more than ten days to recover the loss of his body according to the basic method recorded in "Candle Dragon Change".
Du Shen lived in seclusion for a month and a half, removing the power of the false pill and re-becoming an innate martial artist who had not yet built a foundation.
Du Shen left the town and headed north. Every day, he rode a car or a horse, and hurried unhurriedly. In fact, including night and rest time, Du Shen has been quietly practicing "Candle Dragon Change".
Du Shen walked for more than half a month, and finally heard the news he was waiting for in an inn: the Tongxuan Sect, one of the three top Daomen, opened the mountain gate five years in advance to recruit disciples. The official time of admission was about a year later.
After getting the news he wanted, Du Shen immediately hurried with all his strength and went to Jiagu City in the north. Du Shen planned to take the opportunity to worship the Tongxuan Sect.
Of course, Du Shen is not sincere to be a disciple of the Daomen. He mainly wanted to use the educational resources of the Daomen sect to make up for the various knowledge he lacked. After all, the level of the monk's combat power, the True Yuan Realm certainly occupies the main factor, but the monk's mastery of other knowledge such as formations, talismans, etc., can also have a great degree of influence.
Du Shen also thought about doing casual self-study. However, not to mention the teacher's teaching, learning is faster. If Du Shen does casual cultivation, all kinds of knowledge he wants to learn must be bought at a high price. And if you worship the Dao Gate, at a very small cost, Du Shen can learn a lot of Taoist know-how that others cherish.
In a blink of an eye, Du Shen traveled for more than a month. Gradually, Du Shen broke away from the prosperous world of human beings and stepped into the vast sea and reckless mountains and forests. Along the way, the ancient trees are towering, the mountains are undulating, and you can't see half a figure for several days. Occasionally, Du Shen would also bump into strange beasts and mountain spirits.
Fortunately, those aliens were more cautious, and they slipped away as soon as they were exposed, avoiding Du Shen's fight.
Du Shen's strength is at the top of the world. Although the surrounding mountains and forests are reckless, they are actually in the sphere of influence of the Tongxuan Sect, so how can there be spirits of interest and harm? Therefore, Du Shen went straight all the way, flying over the mountains, forests, rivers, and cliffs, just to save time.
There are many martial arts masters like Du Shen. The closer he got to Xuanming Mountain, the more martial artists Du Shen encountered. Most of them traveled in groups and invited Du to go deep into the group. Du Shen has a lot of secrets, and he is secretly practicing different exercises. He politely declined.
Unconsciously, the mountains and forests came to an end, and the terrain became flat and open. Fertile fields and villages appeared in the wilderness, and the population gradually became dense, and the market gradually flourished.
In the evening of that day, Du Shen missed the place to stay because he was in a hurry. He didn't know how far ahead he would be, and he didn't want to return. Du Shen simply slept in the wilderness.
Du Shen found firewood and set up a bonfire. He took out the cooked food and grilled it over the flame. Du Shen was about to pick up the roast chicken and nibble on it, when three figures walked in the distance.
Du Shen's spiritual sense sensed that someone was coming early. He was secretly on guard and tore the roast chicken unhurriedly.
"It's so fragrant!" the three figures in the shadows walked generously to the campfire. A young man with an ordinary appearance clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "My friend is also a monk who went to Jiagu City, right? I don't know, can you make it convenient for you to let us sleep together and borrow a firelight?"
If it was usual, Du Shen would definitely refuse. At most, give each other some firewood. However, the name "Song Tianxing" is more familiar to Du Shen. He looked at the speaker's appearance quietly, and could vaguely distinguish that the man in front of him was the pride of the sky in the future.
Du Shen thought about it for a while, and nodded flatly: "Okay." In the wilderness, there are more people, and it is good to guard against accidents at night. ”
Song Tianxing thanked each other and happily gathered beside the fire. The three of them each took out the ingredients from the Qiankun bag and barbecued them. Song Tianxing and another man took out the wine jar one after another. Song Tianxing handed Du Shen an altar first. Du Shen did not refuse.
Everyone talked and laughed, and introduced each other in detail.
After that, Du Shen became acquainted with Song Tianxing. He joined Song Tianxing's team and hurried together every day. Song Tianxing and the other two companions are all genius martial artists. The speed at which everyone was hurrying was really not slow. Nine days later, the four arrived at Kagaya City.
The castle is a vast city located in the center of the plains. Within dozens of miles around, there are scattered large and small villages. Between the villages, there are mostly fertile fields, and most of the crops grown in them are not grain, but a variety of precious medicinal materials.
In fact, the inhabitants of Jiagu City and the surrounding villages are basically not ordinary people, but monks. The worst cultivators are all innate martial artists.
Jiagu City is about 100 miles away from the Tongxuan faction, and it is considered a fang market operated by the Tongxuan faction. Many monks admired the sect or wanted to worship it, so they settled in the neighborhood. Most of them make a living by cultivating various spiritual materials.
On weekdays, the Tongxuan sect closed the mountain gate and refused to allow ordinary people to visit. Du Shen arrived early, and there was still nearly half a year before the Tongxuan Sect accepted disciples. Du Shen also lived near Jiagu City.
Cultivation requires resources, and monks cannot always make a living by looting. Even if the family is wealthy, the more resources the monk has, the better. Therefore, after Song Tianxing and the others made a little inquiry, they decided to rent a piece of spiritual field to grow medicinal herbs like most people.
Du Shen sold the treasures of the Dragon Palace, and there was still a large balance. But he didn't want to attract attention, and felt that his cultivation also needed to combine work and rest. Du Shen accompanied Song Tianxing and also rented a small piece of spiritual field to plant some medicinal herbs with a short growth cycle.
