Chapter 3: The Power of the Soul Shadow
In the early morning, the night was fading, and the fog shrouded a remote hillside at the outer gate of the Qingxu Sect.
In a simple wooden house, a short figure danced with fists and feet, and the bones of the whole body crackled, a set of extremely ordinary exercise boxing techniques, played in the hands of the young man, although it was slightly green, and the force was between the bone collisions, it was not difficult to see that even an ordinary adult would be unable to withstand the force and be knocked away.
This young man is naturally Wan Yin, last night, after unsealing the inexplicable strange power in his body, the accumulation of many years has allowed him to accumulate thick and thin, break through to the first level of shadowing, and even a set of the most ordinary exercise boxing methods on the continent After playing in his hands, it is all fist wind.
After the final punch, Wan Yin exhaled lightly, and his whole body was comfortable, as if all cells were able to breathe.
"Is this the strength of the Shadow Gathering? It's so comfortable. ”
Last night's experience made him feel a sense of tension in his back at all times, if he couldn't break through to the Four Spirits Realm within three years, then the seal on his chest would be invalid, and according to the mysterious woman, it would be difficult for even the Great Luo Immortal to save his life at that time.
As Wan Yin's thoughts turned, an illusory figure floated out, still covered by the mist, and appeared in front of the young man.
"The strength is passable, even if it is weaker. ”
Wan Yin pursed his lips helplessly, what can he do, since his master died, he has rarely received the resources of the sect, let alone the elixir.
No matter in any sect, strength is the foundation of a person's foothold, as long as your strength is strong or your talent is high enough, then the resources of the sect will be inclined to you, so, in this world, the stronger the stronger, the weaker will only be gradually eliminated.
"Now that you have officially stepped into the cultivation world, in the black stone, I vaguely heard that your sect will select the inner disciples for selection in two months. Ruohan said softly, as if everything in the world did not cause a fluctuation in his words.
"Sister Ruohan, you said that it is possible for me to break through to the fifth level of Juying within two months. ”
After last night's experience, De Wanyin had increased his sense of trust in the mysterious woman in front of him, and this was the only person he had raised a trace of trust except for his master, Elder Tong of the Qingxu Sect.
Since he was a child, he was raised by his master, and among the outer disciples in the same sect, all of them stayed away from him, saying that he was an ominous person, and even his own master was seriously injured and died because of raising him, resulting in his status in the sect not getting worse day by day.
"It's not that there is no way, heavenly treasures, elixirs, and shadow stones can all help accelerate cultivation, but, do you have these?"
Wan Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly, the resources for his previous cultivation were all taken out of his mouth by his master with frugality, and then there was the reward that he had when he was doing chores in the room, and when he met the inner brothers and sisters who were in a good mood, he still had any cultivation resources available.
"There's one last option, and if you use it, you're going to have to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin. After thinking for a moment, Ruohan said softly.
"Hehe, I haven't suffered much over the years, I experienced one last night. Wan Yin's immature face raised some expectations, and before he could speak, he smiled bitterly the next moment.
"The first five layers of the shadow gathering, the so-called skin refining and bone refining shadow power, the so-called skin refining, even if the skin is exercised to be as tough as a shadow beast, the bones are comparable to gold and stone, and finally a trace of shadow power is cultivated in the fifth layer of the shadow, however, the method I am talking about is to use external force to whip on you to stimulate the accelerated metabolism of skin cells, so as to achieve the effect of refining skin and bones, do you still want to try?"
"Come on, the cultivation resources are not enough, as long as I can improve my strength, no matter how big the hardship is, I am not afraid. Wan Yin's immature little face also flashed a touch of perseverance, the master told him since he was a child, on the road of cultivation, persistence is very important, no matter how talented you are, no matter how talented you are, if you don't work hard to cultivate in the future, in the end you will be a talented passerby after all.
As soon as the words fell, Ruohanyu waved his hand lightly, and a slightly illusory long whip appeared in his hand, and the white luster shimmered.
"Is this the shadow power?" Seeing this, Wan Yin stared at the long whip in Ruohan's hand with curious eyes, and raised his head and asked.
"This is the long whip transformed by the power of the soul shadow, and in my current state, I don't have the slightest shadow power to use. ”
Ruohan's gaze moved downward, as if he was thoughtful, and soon came back to his senses.
"Is the power of soul shadow also a type of shadow power?"
For this strange title, Wan Yin was immediately stunned, he had heard it for the first time, and he had never heard the master mention it before.
"In this piece of heaven and earth, there are thousands of cultivation methods, shadow power, is the only main tone in this world, and then at the same time of shadow power cultivation, a lot of strange ways are derived, the most powerful of which is the Taoist master, a kind of similar to the use of spiritual power, the powerful Taoist is no worse than the shadow cultivation, between gestures, heaven and earth are plates, mountains and rivers are chess, and the stars are just a matter of a wave, and those who can become Taoist masters are all people who are born with a particularly strong soul shadow power, and there is no one in ten thousand. Ruohan said slowly thoughtfully.
As he spoke, Wan Yin's vision widened, and he had only heard the master mention it occasionally, even if he was the most ordinary one-pattern Dao master, his status was much higher than that of the powerhouses of the Second Spirit Realm, and in this world, there was still such a magical profession that could be noble in shadow cultivation.
However, obviously this is not something that a little shrimp like him who has just come into contact with cultivation can understand, and he has not even reached the fifth level of Shadow Gathering, and it is useless to think about the legendary existence.
"When you're ready, remove your coat, and the power of the soul shadow will need to touch the skin to have an effect. ”
"Come on"
After that, Wan Yin took off his coat, revealing his emaciated small body, propped his hands on the tree, his feet shoulder-to-shoulder, waiting for Ruohan's whip of refining skin and bones.
"Smack"
A crisp sound sounded from the forest, accompanied by the sound of gasps.
The young man grabbed the tree's hands and suddenly increased his strength, and a trace of blood flowed out of the coat in his mouth, and it was conceivable that the hot pain on his back at this moment was not much less than the pain of the seal last night.
"Papapa······"
There were a few more whipping sounds, and a little red blood appeared on his back, and on his thin back, eight whiplash marks crisscrossed him, and I have to say that Ruohan mastered the power of the soul shadow The strength of the long whip is just right, which can not only recognize that Wan Yin feels the pain to promote the accelerated change of skin cells, but also does not make Wan Yin seriously injured, but the pain of skin and flesh is indispensable.
"Wakahan... Sister, step··· Continued, I can still hold on. A slightly trembling voice came out of Wan Yin's mouth that clenched his shirt, and on his little face covered with cold sweat, a touch of perseverance appeared.
Hearing this, Ruohan was moved, nodded slightly, and continued to swing the long whip of the power of the soul shadow, whipping it on the young man's back.
"Whew..."
A quarter of an hour later, Wan Yin sat on the ground panting and wiped the cold sweat on his face, the heat behind his back made his waist straighten a little, and if he bent down a little, his back hurt like a burning fire.
"Seize the opportunity to cultivate, after the power of the soul shadow is whipped, the skin's sensitivity to the energy of heaven and earth will be stronger. Looking at Wan Yin, who was sitting on the ground panting, Ruohan reminded.
After resting for a few breaths, Wan Yin sat cross-legged on the spot according to what Ruohan said, put out the cultivation seal knot with both hands, his mind calmed down, his breathing was not as rapid as that, and he slowly entered the cultivation state.
In the silence of his mind, Wanying's keen perception seemed to have increased a few points at this time, as if he sensed that the free heaven and earth energy around him was gathering a few points faster than usual, and a trace of slightly spotted dove heaven and earth energy was swirling around his body, breathing along his mouth and nose, pouring into his body, and was being absorbed by the skin at a slow speed, strengthening the toughness of the skin.
Wan Yin, who could see that he had entered the cultivation state so quickly, Ruohan's jaw was lightly tapped, and a look of appreciation flashed over his beautiful eyes.
The amazing and brilliant people she saw back then didn't know geometry, but there were only a handful of people who could have such a resolute cultivation heart at such an age, and how could cultivators not be fighting with the sky, the earth, and people?
Those who cultivate to be strong are all people with tenacious cultivation hearts, and if they encounter difficulties and pain and retreat even half a step, they will fall behind others.
The young man in front of him is tantamount to having the cultivation heart on the road to the strong, and if he can persevere, his future achievements will definitely not be low!
Night was approaching, and a cold wind was blowing in the woods.
Wan Yin, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly fought for his eyes, exhaled a heavy breath, and his dark pupils seemed to be brighter than during the day.
Wan Yin stood up, his height was faintly a point taller, clenching his fists, dancing, fists, and still the same ordinary workout boxing, but this time he danced, and it seemed to be more powerful than during the day.
"Boom"
A punch hit a tree about a foot in size, and a sound came from Wan Yin's fist, only to see a few fallen leaves floating down on the tree, so he nodded with satisfaction, in normal times, not to mention that a punch to the tree can shake down a few fallen leaves, even the bark, it is difficult to scratch.
"Hahaha..." Immature laughter came out of Wan Yin's mouth, but he didn't expect that he had just reached the first level of gathering last night, and today was another breakthrough.
"Shadow Double!"
"Although the Soul Shadow Power Whip is not fatal, it will still leave some bruises in some way, and if it is not dealt with, it will hinder future cultivation. After leaving these words, Ruohan's illusory figure swirled into the dark stone.
"Sister Ruohan's figure seems to be a little more illusory than yesterday, and it seems that she has consumed too much. Wan vaguely knew that this mysterious woman was not actually an entity, according to what she said today, it should be composed of the so-called soul shadow power, how powerful it was in life, and after the physical body was lost, it could still exist in the world.
"Forget it, let's ask again tomorrow, let's go back to heal first. ”
Retracting his thoughts, Wan Yin put on his shirt again, took out the bottle of the color turtledove, and walked straight in the direction of the cabin.
