Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 6 Evil spirits
When Nangong Muyang saw his apprentice come back, he opened his mouth and scolded, Xu Chen knew that he was at a loss, and he hurriedly compensated the master after handing over the herbs he picked to Yun Shuiling.
Nangong Muyang didn't really want to blame him, but he was worried that it would be dangerous for his apprentice to go out to collect medicine before his injury was healed, and now seeing that he had returned safely, he was also angry after scolding for a while, so he took the two pheasants to the kitchen to make a fire and cook.
After eating, they went back to the house to rest, and Xu Chen, who was in a coma, had a nightmare, and a mysterious voice kept repeating "Vermilion Bird Sword" in his mind...... Monster ......" These inexplicable words kept him awake at night.
At breakfast the next day, Nangong Muyang asked him about beating people like crazy, but Xu Chen forgot all about the strange encounter in that strange hole, and he tried to recall the past, but he couldn't explain the reason to the master.
Nangong Muyang was worried that his apprentice's injuries were not fully healed, and he couldn't bear to ask further, but it was strange that Xu Chen's mana cultivation had suddenly advanced in just a few days, so he mentioned the matter of competing with Tang Da Niu a few days later, and he was very relieved in his words, after all, his apprentices had defeated Tang Da Niu and Cheng Hai at the level of divine warriors one after another, and if he continued to cultivate according to this momentum, Xu Chen would definitely be able to defeat Tang Da Niu again and add a few more face to him.
Xu Chen didn't dare to say a word, he still knew his ability, the two fights didn't rely on strength to win, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, and after eating, he ran to the cultivation hall to cultivate.
If he wanted to break through the Yuan Infant Realm and become a qualified god warrior in a few days, Xu Chen knew that it was impossible, but the date of the martial arts competition was close at hand, and he could only temporarily cling to his feet, hoping that he would be able to create a miracle when the time came.
The cultivation hall is located in the middle of Chongwu Mountain, although it is only nine stories high, but it is built with splendor, standing on the steps in front of the hall, you feel a solemn momentum coming out, which makes people suddenly feel awe.
Unlike in the past, as soon as Xu Chen stepped into the door of the cultivation hall this time, many juniors and brothers came over to greet him, and some even praised him as a young genius in conversation, and the future of cultivation was immeasurable.
Xu Chen replied embarrassedly, and the corner of his eye happened to see Tang Daniu standing in the corner, looking directly at himself, his eyes were full of resentment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and quickly found a secluded room, locked the door and cultivated quietly.
But there is no miracle in this world, the result of Xu Chen's forced cultivation without all internal injuries can only be described as terrible, the true qi in his body is completely unsmooth, as if there are impurities everywhere that make it unable to operate.
Whenever Xu Chenfei tried his best to break through a section of meridians and let his true qi reach the next acupoint, he was already tired and panting like a cow, and he was unable to break through again.
All he could do was to rest for a while, and then continue to run his true qi according to the mantra taught by the master to forcibly impact the meridians of the next section.
Although the path of cultivation is the same path, the gods and demons are divided into five types of attributes according to the five elements of yin and yang, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and choose one of the attributes to cultivate, and the disciples of the god clan in Chongwu Mountain are cultivating the water attribute divine law.
As the initial realm of the water attribute divine law, the Yuanying Realm is divided into nine layers, each layer has its mysteries, and the mana will also improve a few points, and when you cultivate to the ninth layer, you will have the strength to impact the Qi Realm.
The water attribute divine method pays attention to the goodness like water, on the surface, it seems that the attack power is not strong enough, and the enemy is often at a disadvantage in the early stage, but once you cultivate to the highest mixed yuan true qi realm, it is silent if it is small, and it is turbulent if it is huge, and the spell is as smooth as flowing water, and that kind of power can only be described as shocking.
No matter what kind of realm the cultivation of the divine law, each level of improvement requires the true qi to flow to the corresponding meridians to store energy, so that the cycle can accumulate little by little, so that the power of the spell is more powerful when it is cast. In other words, if you want to improve your cultivation, the first condition is to keep the meridians in your body unblocked.
Xu Chen's current cultivation level is stuck at this juncture, but this is also the biggest obstacle for ordinary people to step into the path of cultivating immortals. Therefore, the Protoss has extremely high requirements for qualifications when selecting cultivators, and if you want to become a strong person, it is far from enough to rely on hard work, everyone values qualifications more, and only those who are gifted can reach the realm of admiration by ten thousand people.
Although Xu Chen's qualifications are stronger than ordinary people, he is a poor one in the Divine Mountain, compared with many senior brothers, his qualifications are simply dull, thanks to Nangong Muyang's patience in teaching him, otherwise he would have been sent home to farm.
When cultivating, he was most afraid of being irritable, the more anxious Xu Chen was, the easier it was to make mistakes, not only did he practice for three hours in a row, but he didn't make any progress, but instead forced out the sultry evil qi that he thought had been expelled from his body.
This evil qi was still running around uncontrollably in his body, causing his body to tremble violently, Xu Chen was suddenly shocked, and he stood up suddenly.
At this time, he knew that what the old man said was not an exaggeration, Xu Chen was afraid that he would be insane and do something out of the ordinary like yesterday, so he quickly opened the door and ran straight towards the back mountain.
In less than half a pillar of incense, Xu Chen had already run to the place where the medicine was collected yesterday, at this time, the evil qi in his body was becoming more and more vigorous, and his vision gradually blurred, and he felt that his eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and the scenery a few meters in front of him could no longer be seen clearly.
Just when he was about to fall into despair, he heard the familiar wind chimes in his ears again, Xu Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed the guidance of the bell and ran all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the house.
Xu Chen didn't care about the politeness, kicked open the old wooden door, ran to the courtyard and shouted, "Uncle, are you there?"
The blue-robed old man was reading a book in the house, and when he heard Xu Chen's shout, he pushed the door out, and saw that he looked like a person and a ghost, and suddenly knew that the evil qi in his body had attacked, and hurriedly said to him: "Meditate quickly, try to dissolve it with your own true qi!"
Xu Chen hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, who knew that as soon as he was lucky, his body was like a fire, and he couldn't help but scream when it was hot, and the old man saw that the situation was not good, and reached out and pressed Xu Chen's trembling shoulder.
As soon as he came into contact with Xu Chen's body, the old man noticed that an incomparably strange aura was expanding wildly in his body, and this evil qi invaded every corner of Xu Chen's body without any barrier, gradually devouring his faint true qi.
The old man was careless, and formed a complex handprint with one hand, which pointed to Xu Chen's shoulder well point, Xu Chen only felt a cold breath pouring into his body, and then this clear stream quickly expanded, calming the violent aura in his body one by one.
After a while, Xu Chen was sweating profusely, as if he had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he was completely sober. He knew that the old man had saved his life, so he hurriedly stood up and thanked him.
The old man said, "Alas, I have only suppressed this evil qi temporarily, and whether or not I can dissolve it in the future depends on your creation." ”
Xu Chen also knew the stakes, so he asked the old man for a cure.
The old man asked, "This evil qi burns people's skin and can devour true qi, have you ever accidentally ingested some kind of poison?"
Xu Chen didn't remember what happened that day, so he had to shake his head blankly and ask three questions.
"This is really strange! The old man has lived most of his life, and he has never seen such a strange and powerful evil spirit. The old man asked for a long time, but seeing that Xu Chen still couldn't answer, he had to sigh: "You can't count on me to help you suppress it every time you have an illness, right? ”
Xu Chen came back to his senses and saw that the old man was not an ordinary person, so he bowed down and asked him for a way to save him.
The old man said: "This evil qi and the true qi in your body have become incompatible, rather than waiting for it to devour your true qi, it is better to strike first and absorb it all with true qi." In this way, your cultivation will be able to reach a higher level. ”
Xu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, but then his eyes dimmed, and his eyes unconsciously looked at his shoulder. But this subtle gesture was already in the eyes of the old man, and he chuckled and said, "I don't even have a star on my shoulder, I almost forgot that you are just an apprentice." ”
It turns out that the shoulders of the battle robes worn by the people of the Protoss have signs showing the rank, the lowest level of the god warriors have a hollow red star embroidered with red trim on the right shoulder, and the god fighters are solid red stars, and the logos of the god generals and war saints are also roughly similar, except that the five-pointed stars on their shoulders are golden. An apprentice like Xu Chen, who is not in the Divine Mountain, is not qualified to embroider a five-pointed star on his shoulder.
The old man said again: "Although your mana is low, as long as I am willing to teach you, it is not too difficult for you to become a god fighter." ”
Hearing this, Xu Chen was overjoyed, he knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The younger generation is stupid, and I hope that the old man will not hesitate to advise." ”
"Xu Chen, everyone knows that you are not smart enough, but you don't have to be ashamed, because your master is Nangong Muyang, and it is not surprising that you can teach an apprentice of this level. ”
Xu Chen blushed, and he hurriedly argued: "This has nothing to do with my master, it's the juniors who don't fight......
In the middle of his words, he suddenly realized something, and quickly asked again: "Uncle, do you know my master's name, and you still know me?"
"Of course, although most of the people in Chongwu Mountain don't know me, I know them well. ”
Xu Chen then remembered that the old man's voice was a little familiar, he patted his head and thought about it, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Please forgive the junior for being rude before, it turns out that the old man is the noble man who instructed me to defeat Tang Daniu!"
"Haha!" the old man laughed, "silly boy, you can only hear my voice now! ”
"Thank you for your help, the younger generation is unforgettable!" Xu Chen hurriedly solemnly bowed to the old man, and then asked his name.
"This ...... This is not the time for you to know my name, lest you get into trouble in the future. The old man was stunned for a moment and then said, "Even if you meet me, you can't mention it to anyone, otherwise I won't teach you any spells." ”
Xu Chen was worried that his master Nangong Muyang would blame himself for worshipping others as teachers, and when he heard the old man say this, he was relieved and hurriedly agreed.
When the old man heard that he agreed, he helped him up and began to teach the cultivation of the mind, Xu Chen couldn't help but interject after listening to his words: "Master, what you taught, Master Nangong also taught me, but the apprentice still can't understand the mysterious essence of the Yuan Infant Realm." ”
"It's not about your qualifications, it's about the bonds you have in your heart. ”
"Fetters?"
"yes, what's your bond?"
