Demon capital.

It stands in the southwest of the continent, in the middle of a major mountain.

It was originally a small city, but after countless years of expansion, it has become a large city.

There are not many inhabitants in the city, and in a half-human state, that is, half of the transformation has been transformed, and there are the most demon clans with human form, but there are still some beast characteristics left.

In fact, if you count the demon clan outside the demon capital, rooted in the heavy mountains and mountains, who have opened their wisdom but have not yet transformed into a demon clan, they are still the most of this kind, but in the hierarchy system of the demon clan, they are often at the lowest level.

As for the completely transformed ones, the number is much less, but fortunately, the demon clan has a long lifespan, otherwise there are fewer residents in the city.

Probably because it retains the habits of many beasts, the residents of the demon capital are used to going out at night, and there are not too many people on the street during the day, but at night, it is particularly lively.

In the north of the center of the demon capital city, there is a "Demon Emperor Building" built by green jade, which is the residence of each generation of demon emperors, starting from the first generation of demon monarchs "Bai Mingjing", and has been inherited so far, there have been three generations.

Every night, the Demon Emperor Building releases a clear brilliance throughout the body, which is fascinating.

However, tonight, there is one more uninvited guest in the Demon Emperor Tower.

When Lin Tuo came to the sky above the demon capital in a virtual state, he looked down for a while, and enjoyed the changing scenery of the next day and night, and as soon as his figure moved, he flew straight towards the Demon Emperor Tower.

Invisible and shadowless, the forbidden magic circle embedded in the entire jade tower did not react at all.

There are plaques hanging on every floor and hall of the Demon Emperor Building, which greatly facilitates Lin Tuo's search.

After passing through the pavilion in the hall and stepping into the collection building, Lin Tuo stopped time acceleration, and his figure became clear.

The collection pavilion is a circular hall, with pearls placed on the top, sprinkling brilliance, and the bookshelves around it are in a ring shape, placing some books, Lin Tuo glanced at it a few times, and then cast his eyes on a stone platform in the center of the hall.

There are several volumes of jade slips placed above, and the one in the center is inscribed with fine characters.

Lin Tuo's mind moved slightly, and he tried to flip it with the imperial method he had just mastered recently, his eyes swept away, and two words jumped into his eyes "Demon Classic".

With a slight joy in his heart, Lin Tuo immediately read quickly, his expression constantly changing, sometimes surprised, sometimes contemplative, sometimes confused......

The content of the "Demon Codex" is far less than that of the "Heavenly Dao Scroll", and it is also more concise.

Aside from the similar quenching path to the Heavenly Dao Scroll and the way to advance into the inhuman realm, one of the more interesting ones is the method of demon transformation, and the other is Lin Tuo's goal, that is, the subsequent cultivation method of the inhuman realm.

What surprised him a little was that it was not a specific cultivation method, but more like a train of thought, which could be summed up in just four words:

"Red Dust Experience"

Yes, according to the theory of the Demon Classic, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi absorbed by the monk comes from the "Spirit Realm" described in the "Three Volumes of the Book of Heaven", and after entering the inhuman realm, the human body transforms, the upper limit increases, and it can accommodate more Yuan Qi, but its own evolution will become more difficult.

The meridians of the human body must be strengthened, penetrated, and lit up to strengthen the connection with the spiritual world, so that the efficiency of the body's absorption of vitality and evolution will be greatly improved.

This realm divides the meridians of the human body into seven areas, the limbs, the front and back of the torso, and the skull, which are called the seven veins, and each area that is lit up is a vein.

"According to the theory of the Demon Codex, human beings are inherently closely connected with the spirit world, and after being promoted to the inhuman realm, the change of the monk's life form and the long-term isolation from the mortal world will lead to a greater and greater distance from mortals.

It is necessary to go into the red dust, live like a mortal, and realize the subtleties of power, so that you can light up the meridians and strengthen yourself...... This ......"

Lin Tuo's expression was a little subtle.

And the demon book also records the formation process of this idea, probably after the birth of the first generation of non-human realm powerhouses, they don't know how to move forward.

can only continue to swallow the vitality and slowly transform itself, and it is in this process that the first generation of the demon clan lord Bai Mingjing accidentally found that some of his meridians are extremely bright, and his strength is growing faster than Wang Xundao and others.

At first, he thought that this was the special of the demon clan itself, and spent a lot of time trying to explore, practicing behind closed doors, to no avail, until the last few years of his life, he gave up completely.

After leaving the demon capital, he traveled around the world again as he did when he was young, and he unexpectedly discovered that the changes in the original meridians were related to "walking in the red dust".

The more the monk hides in a quiet place and cultivates penance, the weaker the attribute of "human" becomes, and the weaker the connection with the spiritual world, while entering the earthly world, letting go of the mentality of a strong person, and living like an ordinary person, it is easier to "become enlightened".

It's just that at that time, Bai Mingjing's lifespan had reached the limit, and although he understood the direction, he was no longer able to continue to explore, let alone form a clear cultivation system.

It wasn't until today's third-generation emperor inherited the lifelong research experience of the first two generations of demon clan powerhouses that he really wrote a book and clarified this path.

However, even the three generations of demon monarchs have only stepped into the three veins now, and they are still far from the theoretical seven veins.

"Dusty in the red dust? Red Dust Experience? No wonder the demon clan explored it first......"

Lin Tuo suddenly remembered that Bai Mingjing, who single-handedly created the demon capital, had been incognito in the human world and had been a teacher for many years.

"So, in the year that I was in charge of the Alchemy Association of the Moon Clan, I invisibly followed the rules of the red dust, and I did it more thoroughly, because I not only lost my strength, but also almost forgot all my memories......

Therefore, after my spiritual body returns to the main body, the meridians of my hands will be lit. ”

Lin Tuo suddenly realized.

"In this way, after the inhuman realm, the process of lighting up the seven veins is not necessarily too related to the body, but more important to the heart......"

However, according to the records of the Demon Classic, the red dust is often calculated in units of ten years and decades in order to light up a vein, and he has only lived in the Moon Clan for less than a year, so he only lights up the meridians of his hands.

It's barely a quarter of a vein and a third of the way......

"So, wouldn't I be able to use the 'resurrection' ability to complete the process in a fraction of the time?"

Lin Tuo couldn't help but think, but soon, he found that there were some problems.

According to the record of the "Demon Classic", the difficulty of walking in the red dust is also increasing layer by layer, and he used a year to light up the meridians of his hands, which does not mean that he will live for another year, and there is such an effect, but limited by the negative impact of "sinking", for the sake of safety, Lin Tuo actually can't "parasitize" for too long.

The last time I used the Derivative Sand Table to forcibly retrieve my memory, it was also temporary, if you didn't return, but continued to stay, you would soon sink again, and it was likely to sink deeper, until you couldn't wake up at all.

According to his calculations, boarding is safe for half a year, and after more than half a year, he will gradually lose his memory, and by about eight months, it is basically very dangerous.

And every time I finish boarding, my spirit will not be very stable, and it will take time to calm down.

"But even so, it still helps me save me a lot of time." Lin Tuo was not disappointed.

In contrast, there are also practical techniques recorded in the canon that can speed up the process of "enlightenment."

For example, walking in the red dust does not mean that you must not use your strength, nor does it mean that you must hypnotize yourself as a mortal, the focus is to contact the world and interact with people more.

For example, bringing a companion and having someone around you to live with is far better than being alone.

For example, it is far better to be constantly exposed to new things than to live in one place and the same.

For example, it is also of great help to change a "profession" that has never been experienced and imitate ordinary people.

……

The more Lin Tuo looked at it, the more an idea came to his heart:

"I always feel that the so-called Hongchen experience is not 'refining the mind and becoming enlightened', but more like increasing experience...... Or rather, to increase memory...... The time of experience is not the most important, the richness of life is more important. ”

At least, he himself doesn't have too strong "feelings" in the Moon Clan.

Well, it's hard to say.

lost his memory and regained it, and single-handedly laid the cornerstone of the Moon Clan's "Technology Tree" as an alchemist...... Did it really not affect him? There must be that.

As for the reason for lighting up the meridians, he also had a guess, when he was promoted to the inhuman realm before, he found that the meridian network of the human body was connected to a map, which could summon the door to the spiritual world.

After the inhuman realm, the act of lighting up the meridians is more like using a pen to depict this otherwise bleak picture more clearly, so as to make its absorption of the ether more efficient.

As for whether this is the case, he is not sure, after all, this is only a path explored, not the only path.

After reading, Lin Tuo simply flipped through some of the books around him.

Pick out some precious ones and take pictures with your phone.

After that, I was going to leave directly, but after seeing the "Pill Pavilion" in the Demon Emperor Building, the ghost made the ghost walk in, and took a little bit of "Quenching Pill", and then left with the help of the "virtual state".

Meanwhile.

The third generation of the Demon Emperor, who had just finished a day of "walking in the red dust", changed back into gorgeous clothes and returned to the Demon Emperor Tower, and then suddenly looked up at the direction of the roof of the building, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

After thinking about it, he immediately stepped into the air and walked up and landed outside the gate of the "Pill Pavilion".

"Emperor." At the door, a demon clan powerhouse who was on duty hurriedly got up and saluted, and then listened to the third generation emperor ask, "Is there anything abnormal here?" ”

The demon clan powerhouse was stunned and shook his head: "No." ”

"Has anyone been here?"

"Not either."

"Well," the three generations of Demon Emperors nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "Take me in and have a look." ”

"Yes." Although the strong man guarding the Dan Pavilion was confused, he still quickly lifted the ban, and the three generations of demon emperors walked straight in, and as soon as he stepped into it, his nose sniffed, and his face changed slightly, "Someone just came!" ”

The demon clan powerhouse who followed behind was shocked, his face suddenly turned pale, and he almost instinctively rushed to check the next few places where the precious pills were stored, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they had not been lost.

But when he saw the empty shelf where the Quenching Pill was placed, he suddenly became nervous, although the value of the Quenching Pill was not too high, but the loss itself was a huge mistake.

"Don't blame yourself." The three generations of demon emperors appeased, and their faces were extremely solemn.

The strong man who can quietly break the ban on the Demon Emperor Mansion is not something that this guard can resist, the question is, who is that strange breath?

Moreover, it's all here, and the precious ones haven't been touched, so what does it mean to just take some quenching pills?

"Could it be...... Is someone provoking this king? The three generations of emperors pondered blindly.

……

……

Away from the mountain, martial arts hall.

It was late at night, but the courtyard was brightly lit.

In the patio, when Lin Tuo's clone returned from the sand table "precipitated" from the air, there was an extra package rolled up with a coat in his hand than when he left.

"Teacher?" In the house, Hua Xi, who was lying on the bed watching the New Year's Eve party, suddenly walked out curiously, with a ball under his feet, and saw Lin Tuo who seemed to be chewing something.

Seeing himself, he smacked his lips a little tastelessly and muttered, "It doesn't seem to be of much use to me." ”

Throwing the clothes over, Lin Tuo smiled and said, "I bought you some snacks." ”

"Oh." Huaxi nodded ignorantly, Hathaway at her feet looked at her with some envy, she also wanted to eat snacks, the problem was that the data body life body did not have that function, and she couldn't taste it.

Lin Tuo didn't pay attention to the two of them, thinking that the No. 3 world was still improving, at least the last time he went to the Heavenly Dao Sect, he didn't see the hall where the pills were stored.

Just thinking about it, suddenly, the New Year's Eve bell came out from the computer speaker in Huaxi's room, bell, bell, bell......

Lin Tuo suddenly came back to his senses, his spirit was shocked, and before he knew it, zero o'clock had passed.

It's time for the new year.

January 1.

New Year's Day.

"New year, new atmosphere." Lin Tuo let out a breath, wondering if he should celebrate New Year's Day, or wait for the official Spring Festival?

As he pondered, he pushed the door and walked into the study, was retracted by the body, and immediately habitually glanced at the evolved sand table that had turned into a galaxy.

I saw that the "Armillary Earth Motion Instrument" placed on the edge suddenly lit up and sparkled brightly, and the small sterling silver beads above slipped towards the direction of the earth.

The aether is moving.

Lin Tuo's expression was stagnant and stiff:

"It's okay to have an accident at the beginning of the year???"
