Chapter 24: The Puppet

In the monstrous "sound" that almost shattered his consciousness, a white light pierced into Ning Yuan's unconscious "eye", and then he seemed to "see" a huge "explosion" that he had never seen before, and when the miraculous brilliance generated by the "explosion" wrapped around his consciousness, Ning Yuan completely lost his perception.

In an instant, or ten thousand years, by the time Ning Yuan came back to his senses, his consciousness had already left the imaginary world. When he "looked inward" again, Ning Yuan had already stepped into the middle of the military rank in a trance, completely stabilizing his status as a cultivator.

Although he has completed the condensation of qi and condensed the "qi species", he has officially stepped into the ranks of cultivators and become a glorious soldier-level cultivator. However, as long as the sea of qi is not opened, there is a risk that the "qi species" will "die" and dissipate.

The "Qi Species" is like a rootless duckweed floating on the surface of the closed Qi Sea Star Palace, and the connection with the Qi Sea Star Palace is not close, and it will break away and dissipate if it is not careful, which is the so-called degradation of the cultivation realm.

Only by opening up the "sea of qi" and entering the vast world in the star palace can the "qi species" really take root in the human body, and all the internal qi that circulates through the "qi species" throughout the body has a real "home".

The Qi Sea Star Palace in the inner view has completely changed its appearance.

The "sea of air" has become a real "sea", uh, no. Should it be a "desert"?

That's right, it's the "desert". Uh, isn't it a "sea of air"?

Forehead....

Ning Yuan "looked" at the scene in the "Qi Sea" Star Palace, which was a little messy.

He remembered that no matter which book described the "sea of qi", it seemed to be a "sea"? The worst is a description of a "pond full of water" or a "lake". Why did he become a glowing "golden desert"?

Ning Yuan rolled his eyes in consciousness at a loss.

"What's going on?!"

Just when Ning Yuan was surprised and panicked, a bay of "springs" emerged in the center of the vast "Golden Desert". Flocculent water vapor kept coming out of the "spring", and then a warm breath enveloped Ning Yuan's consciousness.

From the information transmitted by the breath, Ning Yuan finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that this is really a "sea of qi", but now the "water" in this "sea of qi" is only a "spring" in the center. Well, or should I say that it is the "sea eye" that is transformed by the core of the "gas species". And Ning Yuan's next cultivation task is to fill the "sea of qi" until the "sea of qi" is full, and after "no wind and waves", guide the "sea water" to break through the "earth bridge" and enter the "Daotai" star palace, and then refine the "sea water" into a "spirit crystal" to build a "spirit platform". At that time, he will become a Ground Rank Cultivator.

However, this process is destined to be mostly a "water mill".

At least why the book doesn't describe the original barren appearance of the "sea of qi", it's actually easy to understand. Except for those Tianjiao demons who are backed by big forces, most of the cultivators choose to open up the "Qi Sea" when they polish the "Qi Seed" to the point that they can barely support the "Qi Sea", and there are very few like Ning Yuan who take advantage of the convenience and chance of the player's cultivation to polish the "Qi Seed" to the extent that they have to break through to the point where they have to break through to the point where they have to generate a light on their own.

To put it simply, most cultivators have just made a big artillery battle and blown up a large crater, even if they have opened up a "sea of qi", while Ning Yuan has built a hydrogen bomb and blown up a "desert" as a "sea of qi". A little water in a small pit is full, and a hundred times more water in the desert is only a spring at most.

However, the small pit will slowly expand with the impact of the water, from the small pit to the large pit and then to the pond, the lake, and the sea. Slowly washing away can eventually become a "real" "sea of qi", at most, it will take more time and energy in the later stage.

In the eyes of most aborigines, in order to gain more time to practice, it is reasonable to first attack the realm and then consolidate the foundation.

If Ning Yuan was not a player but an aborigine, and there was no such and such coincidence, he would have made the same choice. Because an aboriginal has no special chance, if he wants to polish the "gas species" to the limit, I am afraid it will take nearly twenty years. Although the result is that the cultivation of the entire human level will be unimpeded from now on, the practice of water milling still cannot be avoided. And the realm is related to combat power after all. No matter how big your "sea of qi" is, the soldier level is only a soldier level, and it usually can't beat a husband-level cultivator.

And in this world where war and strife are the main theme, the combat power represented by the realm symbolizes everything to a certain extent.

However, Ning Yuan estimated that players would not mind polishing more "Qi Species" and then opening up the "Qi Sea", after all, the cultivation speed has an advantage. Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the battle of the same realm, the player should have an advantage over the ordinary aborigines.

After a week of luck, Ning Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. The ascension of the realm made his state recover in an instant, and his originally pale face and cold body also quickly warmed up under the action of internal qi.

After opening up the "Sea of Qi", Ning Yuan obviously felt that the purity of the internal qi had improved a lot, and the meridians, blood vessels and viscera in the body had also been strengthened and become tougher, and this strengthening was still going on all the time.

It is said that the cultivation of the human level is the process of laying the foundation, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is the process of polishing and strengthening the physical body. That is, the process of "making a boat in the bitter sea".

After attaining the "sea of qi", the inner qi of the practitioner will no longer be a rootless duckweed, but a source of living water. Even if the practitioner no longer practices the exercises, the "Qi Sea" will slowly and automatically absorb the external vitality, constantly wash and transform the body, and then incorporate the pure vitality filtered by the body into the "Qi Sea" to replenish itself. That's why it has always been said that cultivators who open up the "sea of qi" can be regarded as truly stepping into the ranks of cultivators.

The transformation of the physical body by the washing of vitality is a process from the inside out, and the cultivation of the human level is to complete this process. The three levels of soldier, husband, and lieutenant correspond to the strengthening process of the three stages of the body: muscles, bones, and skin.

The "tendons" include the meridians and viscera, and they are the places where the vitality flows directly after entering the body, so it is the first to be strengthened.

"Bone" includes bones and medullary blood. In fact, the compatibility between blood and vitality is not high, only when the powerful meridians and viscera can absorb more vitality, they can slowly increase the process of integration with each other with "volume" and "force", and with the integration of qi and blood, the blood marrow and bones can be transformed through blood.

The "skin" corresponding to a lieutenant-level cultivator is muscle and fur. When a practitioner completes the internal transformation, in order to hold more vitality, the body has to be built into a "leakless body", and to achieve a "leakless body", it requires strong muscle control and a strong ability to close the skin and pores freely.

After carefully experiencing and adapting to his changes, Ning Yuan got up and stepped into the flame channel.

The scene of the Flame Passage is similar to that of the Ice Passage, the whole body is made of red "Flame Stone", and the entire passage is shrouded in a red light like fire, but the passage does not appear hot, just warm, or warm and comfortable to make people want to sleep.

Here, the challenger's mentality is easy to relax, and the spirit is easy to relax. However, the limitations of the passage are rapid calculations and judgment, both of which require a high degree of concentration, which is very fatal.

The zigzag circuit of "self" has almost no extra forks, and although there are many dead ends, Ning Yuan passed here without much risk with the help of further improved thinking ability and realm line memory.

Ning Yuan chose to take the Ice Pattern Passage first in order to further improve his mental concentration and endurance. The experience of dying for the first time made Ning Yuan understand his shortcomings, he did not lack judgment, what he lacked was long-term self-control and mental concentration. And the experience of the seven-day ice pattern channel helped him make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

After passing through the flame passage, Ning Yuan stood on a fork again. It is still divided into two passages, left and right. On the left is carved "puppet", and on the right is carved "puppet".

According to the realm line, there are pure mazes on both sides, there are no traps and dangers, but there will be puppet sneak attacks and onslaughts. The strength of the golem will automatically adjust to the same level as the challenger, and the golem at the end of the maze is one level higher than the challenger.

"The one on the left is a wooden puppet, and the one on the right is an earthen terracotta puppet." Ning Yuan flickered his eyes and thought while looking at the memory of the realm line, "The wooden puppet is mainly a beast type, although the attack is slightly weaker, but it has a certain regeneration ability, and the speed is very dexterous and brisk. The clay figurines and puppets are mainly humanoid, and the attack is very heavy, and they will use moves, and the enamel of the terracotta figurines can deflect the attack to a certain extent, but the speed is not fast. ”

After thinking for a while, Ning Yuan gave up the passage on the left and chose the "Earth Golem" maze.

This is not to say that Ning Yuan is confident in his own strength, but that the gun technique he has mastered now, especially the "Triangular Gun Technique (Reform)" that focuses on drills, is not suitable for dealing with dexterous enemies.

Taking out the three-edged cold iron spear from the storage wrench, Ning Yuan cautiously stepped into the hole with the gun in both hands.

As the entrance of the cave closed again, Ning Yuan's eyes fell into darkness again.

At the moment when he fell into darkness, Ning Yuan didn't hesitate to hold his gun and stab it into the corner of the right front.

Ning Yuan's gun speed was not fast, but the power on the gun was very heavy, and a crisp sound of "click" sounded in the darkness, followed by a muffled sound of "bang", and a flash of fire splashed, which was fleeting.

Ning Yuan put away his gun and retreated, waiting for the light source in the maze to turn on. With a glimpse in the firelight, Ning Yuan knew that the shot just now had pierced the opponent's waist and hips, and he didn't have to worry about the opponent's counterattack for the time being.

Whether it was the memory of the boundary line in the state of "sunset", or the glimpse in the faint light before the passage mouth was closed, Ning Yuan accurately saw the clay puppet that was preparing to sneak attack. That's why he was the first to attack after falling into darkness.

The puppets in the maze do not have intelligence, but they have a strong ability to detect and sense, and they will accurately launch attacks after sensing fluctuations in vitality, and can also defend according to their senses. Although the attack is more patterned, it is really not weak. The key is that in the memory of the boundary line, the appearance of these clay puppets is very irregular, and the way and place of appearance are also very unexpected.

Ning Yuan, who had retreated to the stone gate, had his ears erected, and he was cautiously defending himself with a gun in his hands.

As long as it takes a few breaths, the light source in the maze will light up, and Ning Yuan will not be so passive at that time.

However, just as Ning Yuan was waiting carefully, a muffled sound sounded on the left, and at the same time, a strong cold wind hit Ning Yuan's chest.

Ning Yuan blocked the gun with both hands, his body shook in the crisp sound of "poof", his hands were suddenly suppressed to his chest, his back directly hit the stone door, and his mouth let out a muffled snort.
