Section 9 Step-by-step
On the third day, after the storm, Ye Chao finally returned to the ship again and drove away from the reef island where he practiced. At this time, Ye Chao was a little complacent, and at the same time understood why "Nine Evils" belonged to an easy-to-practice and quick-to-speed exercise. At the beginning, Ye Chao still suspected that it was just a self-aggrandizing exercise, after all, the first evil pill took Ye Chao a whole week. But just after the success of the first Evil Pill, Ye Chao avoided the wind and rain and cultivated the reef island, and found that the situation was very different, with the first Evil Pill formed, the speed of the second one was significantly accelerated. The first one seems to have a traction effect, and most of the evil qi outside the body is attracted by the evil pill in the palm of the right palm, purified and then sent to the position of the second acupoint, the palm of the left hand, instead of Ye Chao absorbing and compressing it through the pores of the whole body.
The acupuncture points of the first layer of exercises Ye Chao chose were the palms of the two palms, the soles of the feet and feet, the dantian and the acupoints in the chest. Together, they form a big character. According to the explanation of the "Nine Evils" exercises, the practice of the first level of exercises is like that of a baby and an adult. With a certain ability to protect themselves and attack.
And from the formation of the first pill to the cultivation of the first layer of exercises, Ye Chao only took three days, which cannot be said to be a rapid progress. Although Ye Chao understood that it was not easy to form the Evil Pill, after the first layer of exercises was completed, he still couldn't hold back his excitement and experimented with the power of his exercises on the reef.
During the experiment, Ye Chao found that the evil pills in the six acupuncture points could be used as the output point of the attack, such as the palm of the right palm can condense the evil qi outside the body, it can be like a needle, like a thorn, and the largest volume can condense a dagger-sized evil qi weapon. The weapon of evil condensation can change with his own thoughts, but the size is limited, although it has a certain ability to chop, but the real power is not as good as a steel dagger, more power is reflected in corrosion, and Ye Chao estimates that it should also have the effect of toxin and psychedelia. Therefore, Ye Chao analyzed that the maximum power of the evil qi should still be condensed into a needle, if it pierces into the enemy's body, it can not only ensure the strength and hardness of the evil qi, but also give full play to the effect of the evil qi.
Ye Chao even did not hesitate to waste a pill and shot it directly out of his body, and the pill exploded in the air, directly forming a cloud of poisonous mist, and even the gravel covered by the poisonous mist was corroded, which showed how toxic it was. Moreover, this evil pill can also be controlled by Ye Chao at a certain distance, and the location and time of the explosion can be controlled.
At the same time, Ye Chao also found an abnormal place, that is, after the explosion of the evil pill, there was a faint electric glow and the temperature was extremely high, and it also had the effect of burning. This made Ye Chao feel very puzzled, and he couldn't help but read through the "Nine Evils" exercises again from beginning to end, and did not find the origin of the mutation, Ye Chao carefully analyzed, the burning may be related to his cultivation near the volcano, and the high temperature contained in the evil qi was also condensed in the evil pill, but the electric light was puzzled.
Although he couldn't make sense, Ye Chao felt that one more effect was better than no effect, and he could earn it no matter what he said.
The moment of choice came again, Ye Chao lay on the board of the boat, looking up at the starry sky. On the one hand, leaving the reef this time is that he has been under great pressure to cultivate mentally these days, and he is mentally exhausted, and Ye Chao also understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. On the other hand, Ye Chao found that after the success of the first layer of exercises, the evil qi on the reef continued to condense the evil pills required for the second layer of exercises.
"Could it be that the quantity and quality of the evil qi required for each level of exercise must be continuously improved?" Ye Chao couldn't help but moan in pain when he thought of this.
"It is a safer way to return to the company, obtain the "Raising Evil Pill", and then find a place to cultivate! Ye Chao read in a low voice.
"However, this kind of location must not only be able to meet your own quality requirements for evil qi, but also have a certain guarantee for your own safety, which is easy to say, and it is really hard to say if you really want to encounter it, but the volcano in front of you that has not yet fully erupted is a good choice!" Ye Chao quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.
"The third layer, my goal is the third layer!" Ye Chao subconsciously clenched his fists.
"When you reach the third layer, you can condense into a demonic armor, which has a certain protective effect, so that you can go to the unknown valley, look for Gouge again, and configure the corpse liquid!"
The need to remove corpse fluid was discovered when Ye Chao matched the acupuncture points required by the second layer of exercises, Ye Chao found that some acupuncture points were very smooth and could be confirmed, but some of them were somewhat hindered, as if there was something occupying the position of the acupuncture points or would evade the exploration of Ye Chao's exercises. Ye Chao also took some effort to find out that the acupuncture positions that can be used can probably only be cultivated to the third layer, and those acupuncture positions that cannot be used Ye Chao estimates that they should still be occupied by the three corpse insects in his body.
The next day, Ye Chao finished his morning class, according to the planned route in the evening, the fishing boat slowly approached the volcanic island, not far away, Ye Chao felt that the air was pungent, the atmosphere was thick, the more forward, the temperature of the sea water had become higher, especially when Ye Chao was about to approach the chosen landing site, and suddenly found that the original previously surveyed site, I don't know when, became the entrance point of volcanic lava catharsis, a large amount of red lava like a fire dragon, slowly flowing down from the mountain, and then into the sea, The thick black crust continued to split, and there were flashes of red fire, and water vapor was steaming.
This volcanic island is quite large, it was originally inhabited and lived on it, the location Ye Chao chose was where the dock was located, and now there is no way to get close to this situation, Ye Chao had to drive a boat around and cruise towards the other side of the island.
The boat walked for a while, and suddenly the engine made a "sudden" sound, and Ye Chao felt that something was wrong.
"If the ship breaks, it's trouble!" Ye Chao secretly thought of the blessing of the gods and Buddhas.
Looking around, I noticed that there was a shoal not far away, and the water was fairly calm. Ye Chao didn't care whether the ship would run aground, so he increased his horsepower and rushed towards the shoal.
Ye Chao turned off the engine of the boat, parked the boat in the selected position by inertia, bent down on the side of the boat and tested the water temperature with his hands, it was acceptable, look around, this shallow bay should have been a place for people on the island to play in the water in the past, and there were still a few beach chairs on the beach not far away, but a thick layer of volcanic ash could already be seen on it.
Ye Chao climbed onto the beach and tied the boat to a nearby tree with a rope. The terrain here is low-lying, if the volcano erupts, it will inevitably be covered by lava, but I don't know why the lava of the volcano is vented from the other side, although it is not a good place to stay, but the situation is already like this, Ye Chao can't force it. I thought that as long as I could reach the third layer of my exercises, as long as the volcanic island did not sink into the sea, I would still have a way to hold my breath and swim to the original island to send a distress signal.
Now that the decision has been made, Ye Chao is not a person who looks forward and backward, putting on his backpack, Ye Chao began to look for a suitable place to practice, although the people on the island have long been evacuated, but the vegetation is still very lush, and it is not that some small animals appear in front of Ye Chao, and there are occasionally small stones falling from the sky above his head. Ye Chao even found a few red gems in the grass, which seemed to be from the early volcanic eruption.
The closer to the volcano, the higher the temperature, and the air began to become suffocating, Ye Chao had already begun to hold his breath to ensure that he could get closer.
A large piece of black circular ground appeared in front of Ye Chao at this time, a black passage led directly to the volcano, the black soil has solidified, but the temperature has not decreased, it seems that this place should have been a lake at the beginning, but now it has been filled with magma, but the later magma diversion did not last, otherwise the place where Ye Chao came all the way would have been wiped out a long time ago. Near the original lake, there is a piece of high ground, and a huge rock on the high ground protrudes out like an eagle's beak, and it is not known whether it was dug by man or formed naturally.
Ye Chao bypassed the lake, from the side of the high platform, sure enough, there is a depression inside the rock, you can see the traces of excavation, just enough for a person to stand, Ye Chao analysis If the lake is still there, this is a good place to play in the water, jumping into the lake, it must be very interesting.
Now it happens to be Ye Chao's cultivation ground, Ye Chao doesn't have the heart to continue his reverie, time is very precious to him, the ghost only knows when the volcano will erupt in a large area, taking advantage of the current favorable terrain, Ye Chao has to hurry up to complete his plan.
Sure enough, when Ye Chao began to practice the second layer of exercises, he obviously felt that there was enough evil qi here, which was very different from the reef island, Ye Chao understood that his analysis was right, and the evil qi required for each layer of exercises must be improved in order to meet future cultivation.
Although the cultivation routines of the second layer were the same, Ye Chao's suffering also increased. In particular, Ye Chao found that the second layer of exercises condensed evil qi, and the help given by the originally formed evil pill was not as obvious as the first layer, and he still had to rely on the whole body to absorb evil qi. Because it was at the bottom of the volcano, there were more volcanic ashes attached to the evil qi, and after a while, the originally somewhat torn clothes on Ye Chao's body were even more tattered. And these debris were blocked by Ye Chao's body, and gradually formed a thin shell on Ye Chao's body, and even his face was slowly covered, making Ye Chao look like a gray terracotta figurine.
Every morning, Ye Chao will break the gray shell on his body, practice the kung fu of tuna to repair his body and spirit, if there is no set of tuna kung fu, Ye Chao is estimated to have gone crazy, the mental trauma of the second layer of kung fu is far more deadly than the dizziness encountered in the first layer of kung fu, whenever Ye Chao finally compresses the evil qi in the acupoint, his mind actually begins to appear illusions.
Sometimes the unknown demon pounced out to devour Ye Chao, sometimes the ethereal immortal let Ye Chao learn from the teacher, sometimes it was the enchanting temptation of a beautiful woman, the most dangerous one, it actually made Ye Chao feel the truth, he returned to his childhood, in the shantytown, some familiar characters, they actually lived with Ye Chao, let Ye Chao indulge in it, and finally took advantage of Ye Chao's unpreparedness, tied up Ye Chao in the illusion, and actually wanted to share and eat, Ye Chao's spirit was on the verge of collapse at that time, and he was ready to give up, If it weren't for the illusion, suddenly a huge lightning bolt broke through the sky, and a huge thunderclap sound woke up Ye Chao, Ye Chao estimated that he couldn't wake up that time.
When Ye Chao woke up in this most dangerous illusion, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, although he paid a heavy price, but the evil pill formed in the acupuncture hole still made him feel quite lucky, but in that illusion, Ye Chao vaguely remembered the deafening thunder, a person appeared in front of him, not tall, with a kind temperament, but his appearance could not be seen clearly, this middle-aged man did not say anything, just used a branch in front of Ye Chao when he was a child, and wrote a word "find" crookedly.
Ye Chao seemed to feel that this middle-aged man was very familiar, and he seemed to have seen the handwriting of that word. But what does this word mean? It made Ye Chao quite nerve-wracking.
