Chapter 62: The True Secret of Red Flame
Gu Xu spent two full days and two nights studying the "Red Flame True Technique" thoroughly, and according to the meridian route of this cultivation exercise, absorbing yin qi and refining the true element.
In his opinion, the practice of practice is quite similar to Fu Seal to some extent.
The stroke arrangement of the talisman seal is different, and it will have different effects.
The different meridian paths of the practice will also produce the true elements of different attributes.
It's a mysterious and dangerous process.
Gu Xu must ensure that he is mentally focused throughout the whole process, and must not be distracted - if he makes a slight mistake, he will fall short, and he will even be devoured by Yin Qi.
The feeling of cultivating the "Red Flame True Technique" is also different from cultivating the "Returning to the Yuan Jue".
The true essence of "Returning to the Yuan" is like a cool spring water in a mountain stream - when it flows through the body, it will bring people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.
However, the true element of "Red Flame True Technique" was like boiling lava, which made Gu Xu feel a burning pain.
For such changes, Gu Xu was not used to it at first.
He had to grit his teeth and endure the pain, and his face became extremely pale.
Over time, however, he grew accustomed to the pain, and even experienced a pleasant sense of accomplishment from the pain.
It's like going to the gym in a previous life to masturbate iron.
Although I often get sore after training.
But he will also have the illusion of happiness that "I'm becoming a muscular hunk".
"Whatever pain doesn't kill me will make me stronger." He gave himself mental hints over and over again in his head.
Time passed quietly.
The cool breeze gently caressed his face.
Unconsciously, the eastern sky revealed a faint whiteness of the fish's belly.
It's the dawn of a new day.
…………
The house of Gu Xu's family is located at No. 17, Ping'an Lane, Yishui County.
And at No. 16 Ping'an Lane, next door to his house, there lived a Xiucai surnamed Liang and his wife and children.
Early that morning, Liang Xiucai, as usual, was woken up by the crying of his son, who had just turned one year old.
"Well, this damn stinky boy is probably wetting the bed again."
Liang Xiucai got up from the bed with a yawn and thought in a depressed mood.
Liang Xiucai's family is poor and has no money to hire a servant.
His wife, on the other hand, has recently been bedridden and weak.
Therefore, Liang Xiucai was forced to become a "daddy" and take on the responsibility of taking care of the baby in addition to studying the scriptures hard.
This made him emaciated every day.
At this time, Liang Xiucai suddenly noticed that the charcoal in the bedroom stove had been burned.
Today's date is October 17.
More than ten days ago, winter had already begun, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
Liang Xiucai was not a cultivator and could not use the True Yuan to withstand the bitter cold.
The stove and padded jacket are the lifeblood of his survival in winter.
However, at this moment, when the charcoal fire was burned out, Liang Xiucai was surprised to find that he was only wearing a thin single coat, but he didn't feel the cold at all!
He was surprised by the sudden warming of the temperature.
It is as if the bitter cold winter has passed, and the warm and pleasant spring has arrived early.
Liang Xiucai didn't know why the temperature had changed so suddenly.
But he liked the warmth very much—
Because it meant that he was able to reduce the consumption of charcoal, save a lot of silver, buy some herbs for his wife, and some sweets for his children.
"Is this God's sympathy for my miserable life and the granting of me a warm winter?" Liang Xiucai looked up at the sky and silently sighed in his heart.
…………
It's not just Liang Xiucai.
On this day, almost all the people living in Ping'an Lane felt the sudden warming of the weather.
They didn't know that this was the result of Gu Xu's true yuan aura spreading outward after he had just cultivated the "Red Flame True Technique".
They only thought that this was the gods above the Nine Heavens who sympathized with their hard life and specially sent them warmth on this cold day.
Therefore, they offered offerings in front of the god of heaven, burned incense and worshipped, and sincerely thanked God for his blessings......
…………
When the morning sun climbed up the treetops, Gu Xu finally opened his eyes and finished his cultivation.
Shi Xiaohan gave him the "Changming Pill" before, and he has used it all.
If he wants to continue cultivating, he must go to the Yamen of the Exorcism Division to take on the task again, earn merit, and exchange it for new elixirs.
In this world where krypton can only become stronger, poverty severely limits his cultivation speed.
He sighed silently.
Then he slowly got up and walked to the bronze mirror on the side of the room.
The mirror reflects the thin body of the young man, the facial features of Peugeot, and the handsome face.
The bridge of the nose is high, the eyebrows are thick, and the gaze is clear.
Maybe it's because he lives in the shadow of death, or maybe it's because of long-term contemplation, the childishness on his face has gradually faded unconsciously, and the edges and corners have quietly appeared.
At this moment, he could clearly feel a powerful force surging within his body—as if it was not blood flowing in his veins, but the scorching and roaring magma.
He stretched out a finger and swiped it lightly across the smooth surface of the bronze mirror.
Wherever he touched the surface of the bronze mirror, it quickly dented and softened, spitting golden sparks and melting into an orange-red, slow-flowing liquid.
At first glance, it looks a bit like chocolate melting in the scorching sun.
But Gu Xu knew that the temperature of this piece of "chocolate" was as high as thousands of degrees Celsius - if a mortal touched it, he would be burned instantly and leave a scar that was difficult to heal.
"The power of the mid-grade exercises is terrifying!" Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I don't know what powerful the legendary top-grade exercises are." ”
At this time, he once again deeply realized the huge gap in cultivation resources between the monks of the Han Sect and the disciples of the Gate Lord.
Everything he is trying to pursue at the moment may just be someone else's starting line.
After a few moments, he withdrew his right hand.
The liquid flowing on the bronze mirror instantly solidified.
At this time, he looked at the uneven mirror, and suddenly felt a little distressed-
After all, this is a mirror that he bought at his own expense.
"Alas, impulsive." He shook his head slightly.
Fortunately, he is a cultivator.
Fixing a mirror is not too difficult for him.
Thinking of this, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his coat pocket and pasted it on the bronze mirror.
The surface of the bronze mirror instantly returned to its original smoothness.
