Chapter 8: The Secret of Longevity

The two of them looked at everything that happened in front of them in disbelief, especially Wang Wu, he couldn't imagine how strong he had to be to achieve this level.

Lao Bai opened his mouth and said: "There is something around Fang just now, which has disappeared now, you can continue." ”

Zhang Linchen turned around and just wanted to thank him, but Lao Bai waved his hand and said, "Don't fix these clichΓ©s, you hurry up!"

After a while, the two of them came to a large black stone, on which a fist-sized milky white flame scorched and burned, which was the Mother Fire of Life.

Interestingly, the two of them were less than a foot away from the fire, and the temperature here was not as high as expected, but it was not low either.

"Senior brother, have you thought about it?" Wang Wu's expression was complicated.

"Of course. ”

Zhang Linchen replied simply and decisively, and then he took out a piece of jade pendant and said, "What the master left, take good care of it." ”

Wang Wu took a deep breath and nodded to accept it.

Zhang Linchen thought about it, and it seemed that he had finished explaining, so he smiled lightly and turned to face the Mother Fire of Life.

He didn't say a word, everything was silent.

Zhang Linchen held the porcelain bottle in his hand and poured out all the things inside, which were three pills, namely the blue Ice Spirit Pill, the black Taiyin Pill, and the cyan Creation Pill.

The first two are round and shiny, with fine lines on the surface, while the last one has a pitted appearance, like a mud ball. If you look closely, you will even find some flaws, like a half-finished product.

Zhang Linchen took the Ice Spirit Pill, and a cold aura swept through his body, he shuddered, and then his gaze was resolute, and he stepped out of Wang Wu's barrier in one step.

Wang Wu, who was behind him, frowned, and there was not much expression on his handsome face.

The heat in all directions was overwhelming, forming a wave, and wave after wave swept towards Zhang Linchen. However, all the waves of fire seemed insignificant in front of the Mother Fire of Life, and when they were about to come into contact with Zhang Linchen, they were offset by the fluorescent glow it released.

Moreover, the temperature emitted by the Mother Fire of Life was obviously not as high as outside, but despite this, he still felt a burning sensation after taking the Ice Spirit Pill, and it became more and more intense.

Zhang Linchen's clothes and hair had already burned to ashes, and at this moment he was naked, holding two pills in his hands, step by step, and slowly walked towards the mother fire of life.

When he was only one step away from the Mother Fire of Life, he no longer hesitated and took the Taiyin Pill. As for the Creation Pill, he also took it in his mouth, and took the initiative to bite his tongue to let the essence and blood merge into the pill.

Zhang Linchen was face to face with the Mother Fire of Life, and the milky white firelight was reflected in his eyes, as if his eyes were on fire.

Suddenly, he noticed that at the root of the flame, there was a symbol looming, very mysterious. He jotted down the symbol, then gritted his teeth and raised his hand to grab the fist-sized Mother Fire of Life.

At the moment when Zhang Linchen touched the flames, a sharp pain came, and then the flames quickly climbed from the palm of his fingers to his shoulders, and then spread to his whole body, all the way like a bamboo.

"Ahh

He roared loudly, his forehead was bruised, and his whole person was gradually ignited, and in the blink of an eye, he became a burning man.

Wang Wu had already retreated dozens of feet away, standing with Lao Bai with a worried face. He didn't understand the situation inside, and anything he did could make it worse, so he could only believe in his senior brother and wait quietly.

The speed at which the Mother Fire of Life covered exceeded Zhang Linchen's imagination, and at this moment, there was a sudden pain all over his body, which caught him off guard, and there was no gradual process. Now he could only grit his teeth and let out a low roar to vent his endless pain.

At the same time, a scripture came to his mind, and it was the opening text called "The Recipe for Longevity."

"The Secret of Longevity" is one of the highest methods of Lingxiao Concept, it is extremely difficult to get started, he tried to cultivate several times many years ago, and finally fell short because of the Heavenly Mantra Body.

Now, if he wants to succeed in Nirvana, the role of "The Recipe for Eternal Life" can be said to be crucial.

The flames gradually burned, and the unparalleled pain caused Zhang Linchen to find it difficult to maintain his feet, staggered a few steps, and fell onto the black boulder.

The sound of roasting flesh and blood sizzled, and the skin changed from white and tender to red, from red to charred black, and it took less than a few breaths, and the burning speed was extremely fast.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, he couldn't move in pain, and there was a little determination in his dull gaze.

Although he was nearly fainted by the pain in his body, he relied on his rock-solid will to remain somewhat awake and undiscouraged.

And this also allows his "Recipe for Eternal Life" to continue to work in his mind, he is fantasizing that he is a seed, the mother fire of life is the best soil, do not resist, open your arms, be close and tolerant......

In fact, the mother flame of life is not famous for burning at all, at least compared to other fires, this is already the most "gentle" burning.

The surface of Zhang Linchen's body, and even part of his flesh and blood have become charcoal, and the Ice Spirit Pill he took before did not play much role, it can only be regarded as a small foreshadowing, and then the Taiyin Pill is the focus.

The Taiyin Pill, which was swallowed, suddenly turned into a stream of black water, flowing through the meridians to the whole body. The black water protects his viscera, bones, and skull from being burned instantly.

However, because the medicinal power was too strong, he took two pills one after another, and it was difficult for his weak body to withstand it, even if it was offset by flames.

In fact, his internal organs were failing at a slow rate, and the essence was lost, and it would not be long before his physical body would die automatically.

There was also the Creation Pill, which was stuck in Zhang Linchen's throat, and the strange thing was that the pill was actually shrunk compared to before, and the whole was also a lot rounder.

This is of course the credit of the Mother Fire of Life, although the flame scorched Zhang Linchen's flesh and blood, but at the same time, it also inadvertently refined this pill.

Time gradually passed, Zhang Linchen himself no longer felt any pain, lost all perception, he himself did not realize it, because he was in a fantasy world.

He imagined himself as a seed, wrapped in fertile and vibrant soil, like a mother's embrace, warm and comfortable, full of happiness.

And the mother fire of life is equivalent to fertile soil.

Zhang Linchen is completely immersed, carefree, free, and even forgets himself, like a real seed, independent of the world, and everything else has nothing to do with it.

In the outside world, the Mother Fire of Life had already burned him into a skeleton, and the black water transformed by the Taiyin Pill did not last long before it was exhausted.

The meridians, flesh, and liver all burned to ashes, blown into the air by the rolling heat.

In Zhang Linchen's empty head, there was a round and smooth cyan elixir, and his soul had already escaped into it.

Earlier, this elixir was integrated into Zhang Linchen's essence and blood, and through the refining of the mother fire of life, the two built a spiritual bridge. At this time, it is like a powerful barrier, not only able to resist external damage, but also to use its own creative power to form an extraordinary "seed" that can be used to confuse the fire of life.

However, if the role of the Creation Pill is limited to this, then it is really worthy of the word "Creation", which covers too much.

At the beginning, the elixir with a pitted surface and rubbed out like green mud was only a semi-finished product, which was the work of Zhang Linchen's mentor and Qi Yun.

Don't think that Qi Yun's alchemy ability is poor, this half-finished product alone is enough to stump ninety percent of the Dan masters in this world.

Although the effect of the half-finished Creation Pill was already very amazing, Qi Yun believed that this Pill could be refined and purified through the Life Mother Fire to reach a level of perfection as much as possible, and now it seems that it has obviously succeeded.

Not far away, Wang Wu's expression was solemn, and his divine consciousness was all concentrated on the black boulder, because of the life mother fire, he could not probe the specific situation of his senior brother.

Wang Wu asked Lao Bai on the side for advice: "Senior Bai, may I ask how my senior brother is?"

"At the moment, there is no danger, it is normal. "Lao Bai Dao.

Wang Wu bowed to him and said, "If something happens, I implore my seniors to help, and if there is a need for me in the future, I will never give up!"

Lao Bai waved his hand and said, "It's all come to this point, I can't do anything but rely on himself." ”

Then, he sighed: "It is really not easy for a mortal to have such courage, and if he overcomes this difficulty, his future achievements will definitely be not small." ”

Wang Wu sighed: "My senior brother was completely dragged down by his strange physique, otherwise he would have fallen into such a situation!"

"This kid does have a problem with his physique, but I can't say it specifically. Lao Bai pondered for a moment and said, "It's a bit unusual." ”

......

The Mother Fire of Life continued to burn, and the flames all gathered in the skull, completely enveloping the Creation Pill.

However, unlike the beginning, the current Life Mother Flame does not have any destructive power at all, but the temperature is a little higher.

Although the temperature of the flame increased, the burning strength was much smaller, and the wisps of milky white light began to submerge into the Creation Pill little by little, reaching the inside of Zhang Linchen's divine soul, and the whole process was very slow.

So much so that Zhang Linchen, who was immersed in the fantasy world, found that a huge crack appeared in the originally beautiful world at some point, the world was gradually chaotic, and the world was dim, as if the end was coming.

He was just a weak and helpless seed, unable to do anything, panicked and helpless.

At this time, countless milky white rays of light shone in from the cracked cracks, which was the brilliance of the mother fire of life, sprinkled on Zhang Linchen's body, he felt a strong warmth, and the panic in his heart was greatly reduced.

As the white light increased, the whole world brightened, the world stabilized, and all negative things disappeared.

In some corner of the world, something unknown remains, struggling repeatedly, while the milky glow is merciless, sweeping forcefully and obliterating it.

A moment later, the thing melted like ice and snow. However, after it turned into nothingness, a strange force suddenly erupted, quickly sweeping the entire world, and even spreading outward.

Outside, the Creation Pill in the skull vibrated slightly, and even the Mother Fire of Life fluttered for a moment, which was very inexplicable.

Not far away, it was difficult for Wang Wu to feel this change, but Lao Bai was clear and surprised: "This kid is really not simple!"

Wang Wu asked, "What can the seniors see?"

"I thought this kid was just having a weird physique, but now it seems that there is something hidden in his soul, and this fire seems to have directly burned it. The old white eyes lit up and he looked surprised.

In the fantasy world, the seed that Zhang Linchen turned into was also affected by that force and almost exploded.

He was in pain like never before, a pain that touched the depths of his soul, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

In fact, when the flames burned his body just now, Zhang Linchen's consciousness had almost collapsed, but fortunately, he had strong perseverance and finally persevered.

And if he fails to survive this time, causing the fantasy world to collapse and the seed he has turned into disappearing, then it is impossible to complete Nirvana by relying on the Creation Pill of the outside world alone. At that time, the Mother Fire of Life will no longer contain him, and the only consequence will be to be burned to death.

The reason why Zhang Linchen tried to cultivate the "Recipe for Longevity" was to be able to build that so-called "seed" faster.

According to Qi Yun's words, Zhang Linchen had a high level of comprehension and was fully capable of starting this method, but he fell into the almost unsolvable problem of physique.

The beginning of "The Recipe for Longevity" requires cultivators to treat themselves as a seed and the whole world as the soil for nurturing, and both have the same effect.
