"You're kind of funny."

Seeing that Xue Haoyi's palm released a scorching heat, Cheng Sheng said with interest: "The 'strength' cultivated by a martial artist does not belong to energy, and 'strength' is, to put it bluntly, what we often call 'strength'. ”

"Therefore, 'strength' cannot be used to support a warrior to release spells like a monk's spiritual power."

"Therefore, although the warriors have 'strength' and their strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, they cannot practice spells like monks."

Cheng Huo stretched out his hand and felt the high temperature that had accumulated in Xue Haoyi's palm: "So the trick you're using now isn't technically a spell, right?" ”

"Not bad."

Seeing that Chengsheng was not afraid of danger, and even studied his "Tempering the Flame of the Crown" with great interest, Xue Haoyi smiled and said: "Disciple, should I say that you are stupid, or are you courageous?" Haven't you seen it yet, I'm going to do it to you? You're about to die, and you're still acting so calmly, and you're even interested in my magical powers. ”

After saying this, seeing that Chengsheng still looked as usual, Xue Haoyi did not hurry to explain: "I'm not afraid to tell you: the full name of the exercises I practice is 'Tempering the Flames'. ”

"This exercise is divided into two parts, the "Flame Chapter" and the "Refining Ding Chapter", of which the "Flame Chapter" is the one that the teacher taught you on the same day, and the "Refining Ding Chapter" is the practice that the teacher is currently practicing."

"Is it a battle between the fire?" Hearing this, Cheng Huo said with a sudden look on his face: "No wonder, when I recently deduced the 'Torch Decision' exercise, I always felt that this exercise seemed to be incomplete, but I can't say exactly where it is missing. ”

"Now that I hear what you say, Master, I understand."

Cheng Sheng guessed: "Actually, from the literal meaning alone, it can already be seen: it is not surprising that the 'Flame Decision' exercise practiced by the disciple is actually a method of sacrificing oneself and turning oneself into a 'fire' to fulfill Master's method, right?" ”

"Clever!"

Seeing that Chengsheng only guessed the effect of the exercises he practiced from the five words of 'Tempering the Flame', Xue Haoyi said with half surprise and half appreciation: "I can't imagine that although you are a wooden person on weekdays, your understanding is high and terrifying. ”

"But it's better too"

Xue Hao Chong Cheng Sheng explained: "Actually, the 'Torch Chapter' that you are cultivating is an evil path technique that will be able to turn cultivators into 'spiritual roots'. ”

"The higher the comprehension of the cultivator of this exercise, the better the texture of the 'spiritual root' that will be transformed after death."

"Disciple, you seem to be wooden, but in fact, you are wise and foolish, so that the 'spiritual root' you transform after death will most likely be 'intermediate', and it may even be directly a 'high-level spiritual root'!"

Xue Haoyi sighed with emotion: "A person like you, a disciple, can indeed be said to be one in a thousand. ”

"The 'Torch Chapter' exercises that I have taught you are actually very few people can practice."

"In order to find disciples who are suitable for practicing the exercises of the "Torch Chapter", I have found nearly two or three hundred people for the teacher."

"Among so many people, you are the only one who can cultivate the Torch Chapter exercises to the beginning."

"There is only one in a hundred people who can practice the exercises of the "Torch Chapter", and those who are suitable for cultivating the "Torch Chapter" exercises can only appear in one out of every 100 people, a person with a high level of understanding like you."

"So with your qualifications and understanding, it's not too much to praise one out of a thousand."

"What's even more commendable is that you also accidentally got the inheritance of the 'Evil Magician' sect of cultivating immortals."

"This lineage will definitely provide me with great help in my future practice!"

Thinking of this, Xue Haoyi said with a little emotion in his tone: "For the sake of the apprentice, you have fulfilled the teacher, if you have any wishes before you die, just say it quickly, as long as your requirements are not too excessive, I will do my best to help you complete it!" ”

"I really have a question for you."

Cheng Huo took the opportunity to raise doubts in his heart: "Since Master, your 'Flame Refining Ding Duel' exercise can refine people into 'spiritual roots', does that mean that the major immortal sects also use this method, after sacrificing countless mortals, this is the so-called 'spiritual root'?" ”

"I don't know." Xue Haoyi shook his head and said, "After all, the 'Spirit Root' has always been under the control of the Immortal Gate, and it is also the biggest secret of the Immortal Gate, so how could it be leaked to mortals like me." ”

Maybe it's because I'm worried about long nights and dreams.

After a few simple small talks, Xue Haoyi stopped wasting time.

He turned the palm of his right hand towards life, and the temperature between the palms became higher and higher

According to the description on "Tempering the Flame": At that time, the survival of the "Torch Chapter" exercise will be under the traction of the temperature of Xue Haoyi's palm, and the whole person will turn into a flame and burn out, and turn into a 'spiritual root' for Xue Haoyi to step into the immortal path.

in the room.

While Xue Haoyi was urging the exercises, his eyes did not forget to stare at Chengsheng, and his eyes showed excitement.

He was waiting for him to come alive and turn into flames.

He wants to see it alive and become a 'spiritual root'.

"The exercises in my body are really being affected?"

Under the influence of Xue Haoyi's exercises, he only felt that the fifteen-layer "Flame Decision" strength he had cultivated was really burning like a raging fire.

This fire is not an open flame, and what is burning is not a substance, but a fire of strength formed by using the energy of the "Flame Decision" in the living body as fuel.

The Flame of Power is light blue in color.

The moment the fire ignited, the whole person was wrapped in a burst of light blue light, which looked terrifying.

"What's going on??" Seeing that a light blue flame ignited on Chengsheng's body, and the momentum of the whole person became more and more vigorous, Xue Haoyi's eyes showed a look of shock: "Why is the fire of strength in your body burning more and more, as if the strength in your body can't be used up?" ”

Cheng Sheng did not respond to Xue Haoyi.

He looked at the light blue flame attached to his body, and said, "I understand, this so-called 'Tempering the Flame of Death' is actually to use the human body as a furnace, the strength in the human body as the fire, and the person itself as a great medicine, so as to refine the 'spiritual root' that can help people embark on the path of cultivation. ”

"Then follow this train of thought," Cheng Huo said, suddenly looked up at Xue Haoyi, and stepped closer to the other party

"What are you going to do?" Xue Haoyi, who realized that something was wrong, subconsciously stepped back behind him, and at the same time warned Cheng Huo: "Don't come here!" ”

Chengsheng didn't pay attention to Xue Haoyi, but just repeatedly thought about the possibility of using the human body as a furnace, using the strength in the human body as a fire and refining the 'big medicine'.

While thinking about it, he suddenly reached out and tapped at Xue Haoyi.

"What are you doing?" This finger frightened Xue Haoyi's whole body.

Immediately after, Xue Haoyi only felt that the strength in his body was churning and surging under the finger of survival.

The strength in his body surged and roared, like boiling water, or even like fire.

Not long after, Xue Haoyi's whole person really burned, his body was covered with light blue flames, and he looked the same as Chengsheng.

"You"

Xue Haoyi is not like a life, he can use his divine sense to extend the exercises to the fifteenth realm.

Xue Haoyi, who had only cultivated the "Refining Ding Chapter" technique to the sixth layer, only felt as if the power in his body had been drained by someone the moment the light blue flame on his body ignited.

He fell to his knees and said weakly: "It's impossible, why can you turn me into a 'fire'?" What I practice is obviously the "Refining Ding Chapter" exercises."

"The exercises are dead, but people are alive."

Cheng Sheng explained: "The principle of your 'Flame Refining Ding Duel' exercise is nothing more than using the martial artist's body as a pill furnace, and inducing the 'strength' in the martial artist's body to make it burn, and refining it into a 'spiritual root'. ”

"As long as I can figure out the principle of this, then no matter what kind of exercises you practice, as long as you have 'strength' in your body, I can ignite it, and use the burning of 'strength' to refine you into a 'spiritual root'."

"Impossible!" As the 'strength' in his body gradually burned out, Xue Haoyi's whole person became weaker and weaker.

He lay on the ground, his eyes wide, revealing an expression of disbelief: "Who the hell are you??" You're not my apprentice at all! ”

"Huh,"

Seeing Xue Haoyi's words, Chengsheng's appearance suddenly distorted.

He used illusion to temporarily transform his appearance into his own form. In the room, the transformation into the appearance of the body, wearing a yin and yang Tai Chi fish robe, the whole person is not angry and self-threatening.

He exuded a powerful aura that belonged to a cultivator in the Transformation Period, and looked at Xue Hao and said, "You guessed it, I'm really not your apprentice's brute heart. ”

"The old man is a monk of the Xuanwu Star Transformation God Stage, and he is alive!"

"Survive?" Finally, as the last trace of 'strength' in Xue Haoyi's body was burned out, all the cells in his body also stopped working at this moment.

'Strength' is a person's strength.

The strength burned out, which meant that Xue Haoyi had no strength left in his body. Xue Haoyi's heart would stop beating, his lungs would no longer be able to breathe, and even his brain would no longer be able to think.

Xue Haoyi was exhausted to death because of his lack of strength.

in the room.

While Xue Haoyi was exhausted to death, Chengsheng had also changed back to his brute heart.

In order to find the 'spiritual root' remaining in Xue Haoyi's body, he released his divine consciousness and swept Xue Haoyi's corpse inside and out.

"Huh?"

When the divine sense probed Xue Haoyi's heart, Cheng Huo suddenly sighed.

He took out a flying sword from the space gem in his chest and cut open Xue Haoyi's chest.

But seeing the location of Xue Haoyi's heart, there was a bulbous object that was purple-black and had countless slender hairs on the surface.

Not surprisingly, this purple-black thorn ball should be the 'spiritual root' that Xue Haoyi has been thinking about.

As a monk of the incarnation stage, he can clearly feel that this 'spiritual root' contains a 'power of emotion' that seems to be absent.

And most importantly, this 'spirit root' is suspected to be alive, which is a derivative derived only from unspeakable creatures.

After knowing the truth of the 'spiritual root', Chengsheng can roughly guess the truth about the cultivation on this planet:

Not surprisingly, Bai Qiuxing should be the same as Xuanwuxing, a planet without the existence of heaven and earth aura.

The cultivators on this planet are able to practice because of the 'spiritual roots', or indescribable derivatives.

- The moment the derivative is transplanted into the body, the practitioner is equivalent to being contaminated by an indescribable creature.

And as the pollution intensifies, the cultivators will become stronger and stronger.

The process of intensifying this pollution is called spiritual practice.

As for the cultivators on this planet, how exactly did they increase the pollution in their bodies, and what kind of emotions did the indescribable creatures on this planet feed on

Because the newly born 'spiritual root' in Xue Haoyi's body was too weak, and the 'emotional power' contained in it seemed to be nothing, so it was uncertain that it would survive in a short period of time.

He needs to keep watching and gather more intel before he can make a judgment.

Since the cultivators on this planet all have power from unspeakable creatures, it is still possible that there will be a god transformation stage monk among the cultivators.

Even if there will be a monk in the conjunctive period, it is not necessarily.

in the house.

After figuring out the origin of the 'Spirit Root', Chengsheng put his hand on his chest again, and took out a square box made of alloy lead plate from the gem in the chest space.

- After visiting the Sorcerer's Planet, Cheng Huo learned that the alloy lead plate has the effect of isolating the monk's divine consciousness and even being polluted by unspeakable creatures, so when he left the sorcerer's planet, he specially asked the people in the 'high places' to make several square boxes made of alloy lead plates, with openings, and of different sizes.

In this way, this square box can just be used to place, the spiritual root born from Xue Haoyi's body

…

After dealing with the original master Xue Haoyi, and learning that there might be a god or even a merger stage monk on this planet, Chengsheng acted relatively low-key in the following period of time.

Except for collecting various 'emotional powers' and trying to use them to feed the 'spirit roots', Chengsheng almost never leaves the Blood Tiger Gang's station.

In this way, nearly half a month has passed in a flash.

…

Outside the city of Mingxuan, the Blood Tiger Gang is stationed.

The residence of the divine doctor Xue Haoyi, in the underground secret room.

In a daze, the Orion King Da Niu woke up slowly.

He looked around and saw what appeared to be a dark, lightless underground prison.

The cell was lit with candles, and in addition to Wang Daniu himself, there was also a masked man with a black cloth covering his face.

"Wake up, right, I'll make a long story short."

Seeing that Wang Da Niu woke up, he put his hands on his chest and conjured a sieve cup from his chest like a trick.

He held a sieve cup and explained to Wang Da Niu: "Even if you haven't played this dice, you should have heard of it, right?" Now you have to make a bet with me: I have three dice in this sieve cup, and if you add a piece with more than ten points, it is big, and if it is less than ten, it is small, and the game is up to you to guess the size, and I will shake the sieve cup. ”

"As for the bets."

In prison.

Cheng Sheng looked at Wang Da Niu and showed a demonic smile: "We will bet your life, if you win, you can leave from here, and if you lose, I will kill you, do you understand?" ”

"You"

Wang Da Niu is just a hunter in a poor ravine, where have he ever seen a madman like Cheng Xing who gambles on people's lives if he disagrees, and he was terrified at the moment: "Who are you, I don't know you at all, why do you want to arrest me?" ”

"Huh,"

Cheng Sheng did not respond to Wang Da Niu directly, but just sneered, then put his hand on the gem in the space on his chest, and took out a delicate and simple gourd from it like a trick.

This gourd is called the 'Humane Gourd', and it has the effect of absorbing the 'power of emotions', and it was obtained from the other party when he traded with the Shadow Monk of the Shadow Pavilion before he survived.

——Survived to capture Orion Wang Da Niu in the underground prison, precisely in order to use this 'humane gourd' to collect 'emotional power' from Wang Da Niu.

Prior to this, Cheng Sheng had collected many emotions such as pain, desire, faith, and fear, and tried to use these 'emotional powers' to feed the 'spiritual roots'.

But without exception, they all failed.

This time, Cheng Sheng intends to collect 'hope' emotions from Wang Da Niu:

Since it is a gamble, there is a certain probability of winning, so that the participants of the game can feel and exude the 'emotional power' called hope during the game.

"Okay, no more nonsense."

After introducing the rules of the game to Wang Daniu, Cheng Huo gently shook the sieve cup, and urged the other party to say: "If you want to live, bet big or small, hurry up and choose!" ”
