269. Wait
Wake up again, still that humble cave.
Lingyu closed her eyes and exhaled slowly, feeling as if she was dead again.
She felt that she must have owed a lot of debts in her previous life, otherwise, how could she always encounter such a thing? Before, the dantian was shattered and almost died, and now it was used by a strange person to perform some tricks, and he was tortured half to death-
Wait a minute! She moved her hands and feet. Why does she feel that Zhenyuan is abundant, physically strong, and full of strength?
Lingyu sat up abruptly and looked down. The pain is gone, the arms are white and smooth, and every texture seems to contain endless vitality. What's going on? Could it be that refining is to use those strange medicinal juices to refine the flesh?
Extrapolating this, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It stands to reason that the benefits of being so refined in this way are endless, but she knows very well that it is for herself to forget the layman, and this physical body will soon be hers.
"Awake?" A duck-like voice sounded, and Lingyu turned her head to see the young man walking in from outside the cave, holding two bamboo tubes in his hands.
"Whoa." He handed her a bamboo tube, took the other himself, walked to Xu Yi, who was not yet awake, helped him up, and then forcibly poured it down.
Lingyu held the bamboo tube and looked at the clear liquid in the tube in a daze. The mellow and slightly drunk smell, with a sweet aroma, is clearly a fruit wine.
"Don't worry, drinking it will only benefit you." The teenager said. After feeding Xu Yi, he sat down on the spot and looked at her.
Lingyu didn't hesitate much, so she raised her head and drank it.
The wine enters the throat, sweet and intoxicating. A warm aura flowed down the wine into the belly. Slowly spread to the limbs. Although it is not as effective as Changsheng Water. The effect is even better.
She doesn't know much about the art of alchemy, but looking at the elixir of this island, as well as the results of refining and the effect of the spirit wine, this person is not a ghost or a ghost, and he has a very outstanding medical technique.
After drinking the spirit wine, she raised her chin to Xu Yi: "How is he?" β
"Alive." The teenager said. "However, he is not as willful as you, and it may take several days to wake up."
Lingyu bowed her head slightly, she was able to wake up so quickly because she had experienced a pain that was deeper than refinement. Compared with the shattering of the dantian, the pain of this washing is not so difficult.
After a relative silence for a while, Lingyu asked, "Can you say it now?" β
"What?"
"What the hell is your master going to do?"
The young man was silent for a long time, just when Lingyu thought that it was inconvenient for him to answer. He spoke: "My master, I have lived for three thousand years. β
"Three thousand years?" Lingyu gasped. This age is older than she thought.
"Two thousand years ago, when he was cultivating, he went mad and broke his body, and he looked around for elixir to heal. Because the Broken Water Mountain Range is suitable for cultivating elixirs, Huiling Lake is rich in spiritual shells, so I came here to live in seclusion......"
Lingyu remembered that the Chixia Palace and Huayang Mountain built their sects in Broken Water Mountain because the climate here was suitable for cultivating elixirs. But the Broken Water Mountain has been occupied by those two sects, and it is impossible for the monks to seize the top of the mountain with them, so they can only retreat to the next best and occupy a small island in Huiling Lake. Besides, Huiling Lake is rich in lingbei, which is also suitable for medicine.
"Unfortunately, it didn't work until he found a secret method." The young man paused, his eyes fell on her, and the special meaning in his eyes made Lingyu's scalp tingle, "It is to find a monk like you, to refine his body, and become his new skin." β
Lingyu shuddered: "Isn't this the same as taking the house?" However, you can only give it up once in your life, otherwise, the true spirit will not be able to merge with the essence and blood......"
The young man smiled, and on his dark face, his eyebrows were particularly conspicuous: "So it's a secret method...... It's a bit similar to taking away the house, but it's different, he will directly take your body and erase your original spirit. However, for some reason, this method only remains normal for a while. After that, his body will decay again, and the cycle will start over and over again......"
"Of course, this is not without merit," said the boy, "and he can live forever as long as he wants." β
The coldness around Lingyu's body became stronger, immortality, these four words were the ultimate goal pursued by thousands of monks, but for some reason, in this situation, hearing these four words made her feel terrified.
She muttered to herself, "This ...... This is simply a cage that can never be broken free, constantly looking for a new body, constantly decaying, so that half of it is immortal, even if it is immortal, what ......"
The young man shook his head: "I have seen many monks who have come here, and in the face of the end of their lives, they have nothing to ask for, right?" β
Lingyu said: "Life is indeed precious, but it is not only life that is valuable, ...... live like this."
She didn't say anything more, but the boy understood what she had to say. What is the meaning of this kind of life?
"So, what is the purpose of refining the flesh?" Lingyu asked, thinking. If it is to seize the house, you can compete with the guΓ² Yuan Shen, although the difference between their cultivation is too great, and there is almost no possibility of defeat. In addition, it will be very weak after taking it......
The young man replied, "The master is a Yuanying Cultivator, and his physical body is not strong enough, so there is no way to cross his cultivation together. β
"Cultivation is ...... Can you cross into it? Lingyu was stunned. If you give up your physical body, your cultivation will disappear with it, and you can only cultivate again. This is indeed a secret method, although it has terrible shortcomings, but it also has advantages that the Yuan Infant Monk cannot ignore.
How to re-cultivate after taking away the house is a difficult problem, and many times, the physical body does not match the original spirit, or the physical body qualification is too poor, which will lead them to not be able to repair the cultivation before the seizure. Especially for high-level monks, what they are most worried about is that their cultivation will be lowered after they take over.
The two fell silent. Lingyu came back to his senses from his sigh, and was wondering if something was going to be done through the jade talisman when the young man suddenly jumped up and said in a panic: "I have to go, the master called me." β
"Hey, you ......," she didn't have time to say anything, when the boy scurried out of the cave like a rabbit.
"Squeak-" A voice came from outside the cave, and a white-haired monkey jumped down from a tree and grabbed him by the sleeve.
The boy patted the monkey's head. Turning to her, "This is Xiao Mao." It understands human speech. You have something to tell it. After saying that, the man ran away, and the monkey Xiaomao jumped into the cave with a basket of branches, put the basket beside her, and "squeaked" and scratched her ears.
"This is for us to eat?" Lingyu pointed to the spirit fruit in the basket.
Xiao Mao nodded desperately.
Lingyu smiled at it, took a Yangyuan Pill from the Qiankun bag and threw it to it: "Let's use it as a sugar pill for you." Xiao Mao didn't have any aura on her body, so she didn't dare to give the pill casually. Yang Yuan Dan nourishes his energy and restores his energy, and he should be fine.
Xiao Mao took Yangyuan Dan, threw it into his mouth, "croaked", chewed, and swallowed. It blinked, scratched its head, and seemed to not understand what it was, and after a while, it came back to its senses. Babbling, he stretched out his furry paws to her.
"Still want to eat?"
Xiao Mao nodded desperately.
Lingyu said, "You are not a spirit animal. It's not good to eat too much. β
Xiao Mao scratched his ears and cheeks, and made gestures impatiently.
Lingyu even guessed: "You mean, it doesn't matter if you eat this?" β
Xiao Mao nodded, and his paws were spread out in front of her.
Lingyu pondered for a while, there are spirit fruits everywhere on the island, presumably Xiao Mao grew up eating spirit fruits, although I don't understand why it doesn't have spiritual energy, but it shouldn't matter.
"Okay." She poured a few more, "Here you go." β
Xiao Mao was very happy and gave her a decent look.
Lingyu was happy, picked up the spirit fruit in the basket, and said, "Thank you for the spirit fruit." β
Xiao Mao "squeaked" a few times, grabbed Yang Yuandan and ran away.
Lingyu looked at the entrance of the cave, and after a while, he retracted his gaze, picked up the spirit fruit and took a bite.
As soon as you eat the sweet and juicy flesh, it turns into a warm aura and melts into the body. Lingyu was surprised, she had never eaten such a spirit fruit, even if it was the offering given by the Taibai Sect to the Yuanying Cultivator, there was no spirit fruit of such good quality - this was already an elixir, right?
After nibbling a fruit, her whole body was warm, her aura was surging, and she simply breathed.
If not for the threat to life, this is a great place. She thought bitterly.
After practicing for a while, there was a "squeak" sound at the entrance of the cave again, Xiao Mao probed her brain for a while, and saw her open her eyes, carrying a basket again, and jumping in.
"Huh?" Lingyu watched as it brought the basket to herself, showing the spirit fruit inside, "You areβ"
Xiao Mao pointed to the basket and then to her Qiankun bag.
Lingyu was stunned: "You want to exchange this for the pill just now?" β
Xiao Mao nodded.
"......" Lingyu thought it was interesting and a little funny, and poured a few Yangyuan Pills for it.
Xiao Mao "squeaked" and ran away.
The spirit fruit she ate just now, according to her estimates, the effect is comparable to that of more than a hundred years of elixir, and what is rare is that this spirit fruit is naturally formed, with almost no impurities, no more than pills, and erysipelas will remain after eating.
If you hadn't forgotten to leave the layman and eat the spiritual fruit to cultivate here, you might have cultivated faster, but it's a pity...... Forget it, don't think about this, continue to cultivate.
The sunset sank into the canyon, and the darkness shrouded it, and Lingyu opened her eyes.
The jade talisman on her waist was hot, she took it out, and a message came from inside: "You still have ten days." β
Does this mean that after ten days, the monk will be about to perform that secret method?
Lingyu asked, "What are the weaknesses of the Forgetful Layman?" Is there a hole to drill? β
Yu Fu was quiet for a long time before replying to the message: "If it succeeds, can you take me away?" β
If she can escape, she will agree to any conditions. Lingyu replied: "As long as you want, I will take you back to my sect and introduce you to my master." β
"Really?"
"We can make a soul pact."
After a while, the jade talisman became hot: "Okay." Anything on the island, if there is nothing I don't know, I can sue you. However, the master has placed a ban on me, and you must promise to help me solve the problem afterwards and make me a normal monk. β
Lingyu agreed without hesitation. Although she didn't know what was going on with the child, she would do everything she could to help him as long as she could escape.
"I believe in you." The young man passed over the jade talisman, "Although he is a Yuanying monk, he has been greatly restricted because of this secret method. First, he was corrupted in the flesh and could not leave the island. second, you can't use props such as magic weapons; Third ......" (To be continued......
