Chapter 42: Anomalies

White Fish Bay, inside the cave house.

The thick stone walls seemed to isolate all sounds from the stone chamber, and the sound of the waves and the sea breeze could not be heard at all, leaving only a tranquility, which was the most suitable atmosphere for those in the path to meditate and cultivate.

Shen Shi was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this moment, quietly looking at the Lingxiao Sect's "Star Luo Gong" secret method mantra in his hand, and at the same time gently holding a shiny small stone in his right hand, which was the spirit crystal.

His gaze swept carefully over the spell, and he set it aside and groaned. According to the Xingluo method, because the human race is indeed too weak in the physical body, in the Qi Refining Realm where the initial cultivation began, it is best for the Terran monks to only practice once a day, that is, they only absorb the spiritual power in the spirit crystal into the body once a day, so as to gradually increase the number of times they absorb the spiritual power of the spirit crystal after their cultivation deepens in the future. Otherwise, if you are in a hurry, the spiritual power will enter the body too much and too much, and the physical body will be very easy to bear, and there will be great harm.

"During the day, because of the physical body, the spiritual power dissipated before entering the body, shouldn't this be regarded as a cultivation once?" Shen Shi frowned, carefully recalled the situation during the day, and finally looked at the spirit crystal in his hand, only to see that the spirit crystal was shining all over, and it was obviously intact. You must know that if the spiritual power has been absorbed by the monk, the light of the spirit crystal will weaken and dim, and the more times the spiritual power is absorbed, the more dim the color and brilliance of the spirit crystal will be, and it is very easy to distinguish. And once the spirit crystal has been used by the monk, even if it has only absorbed the spiritual power once, generally speaking, it is no longer possible to buy various spiritual materials in the market.

After thinking about it a few times, Shen Shi still decided to try to cultivate again, anyway, in the Morning Star Hall during the day, Senior Brother Wang Gen had already made it clear to them, the flesh backlash was actually like that, it was nothing more than that his body and spiritual power were not very coordinated, and there was no shortcut to solve this problem, that is, he honestly cultivated a few more times, and suffered a few more times from the flesh backlash, and when the flesh gradually adapted to the spiritual power, he could naturally start cultivating.

Long pain is better than short pain, early suffering and late suffering are all suffering anyway...... Shen Shi comforted himself like this in his heart, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, clenched his palm, and held the spirit crystal tightly in his palm.

The Star Luo Magic Technique was running again, but without the assistance of those strange magic arrays in the Morning Star Palace, Shen Shi obviously felt that he couldn't quickly concentrate on it, and it took several times longer than the day before he slowly calmed down and felt the faint spiritual power in the spirit crystal.

The rest of the things, just like what he had done during the day, concentrated and concentrated, chasing that glimmer of light in the darkness, and finally barely caught that trace of spiritual power after spending a lot of effort, at this time Shen Shi had already faintly felt that his body began to tremble slightly, and he was extremely tired mentally, obviously he had not absorbed spiritual power into his body, and the signs of physical backlash had not appeared, but for some reason he felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.

It was only with great difficulty that he finally grasped that trace of spiritual power, and Shen Shi was really unwilling to give up easily, so he still endured the discomfort of his body, and tried his best to absorb this trace of spiritual power into the qi veins of his palm.

This faint wisp of spiritual power under his control, slowly approached his body, and when he just touched the skin of his palm and was about to merge into the body's qi veins, Shen Shi's body shook suddenly, and a fierce pain seemed to tear apart his body, emerging from every corner of his body at the same time, making his body seem to collapse in an instant, and suddenly the whole person collapsed to the ground, and fell directly from the bed with a "bang".

The flesh has finally reappeared.

Shen Shi's whole body trembled, he kept twitching on the ground, and his face was pale, which was beyond his expectations, for some reason, the pain of this backlash was a little worse than that of Bai Ri, especially in addition to the severe pain all over his body, there was also a headache in his skull that had never appeared in the daytime, as if his whole head was about to burst open, making him so painful that he almost hit his head on the ground.

This pain is almost unbearable, making people almost have the illusion that life is worse than death, although the pain is extremely severe, but after all, it can barely endure, but this unprecedented pain in the head is extremely fierce, it is simply difficult to resist, Shen Shi was caught off guard, holding his head on the ground, he couldn't help but shout, and desperately kicked his legs and rolled.

Fortunately, this intense and terrifying pain did not last long, and gradually faded after a while, otherwise Shen Shi really doubted that he would die like this.

This path of cultivation is really arduous and tortuous.

Shen Shi lay on the ground, and for a while he was unable to get up, he only felt tired and weak, and his spirit was even more exhausted, as if he had died and come back to life again, which was much worse than the situation in the Morning Star Hall during the day.

Looking at the stone wall above his head with blank eyes, Shen Shi was a little dazed in his heart, could this be regarded as an accident? Didn't he clearly say that the pain of the flesh body was gradually weakened with the increase in the number of cultivations, how could he actually increase so much when he came here?

Or is it that even if there is no aura entering the body during the day, it can actually be regarded as a cultivation once, and if you cultivate again at night, it is the "anti-great harm" mentioned in the Xingluo Method?

Thinking about it, Shen Shi was so tired that he actually lay down on the ground and fell asleep in a daze, but when he was hazy and not asleep, he was blank and didn't know what he was thinking about.

April 17, fine.

When Shen Shi woke up from his sleep in a trance, he felt a faint pain all over his body, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered last night's events for the first time, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.

This path of cultivation is really not child's play, although it is still not clear why the pain of the physical backlash increased last night, and there were signs of severe head pain that he did not have before, but Shen Shi still decided that he must be more cautious when cultivating in the future, and it is best to find an opportunity to ask Senior Brother Su He about his situation today.

I slept directly on the ground last night, and when I got up, I felt stiff, and I hurriedly moved around the stone room before I felt that I was slowly recovering. After closing the starlight bead above his head with the cloud talisman, he saw a ray of sunlight falling from the skylight, and Shen Shi suddenly shouted, "Oh no!"

At that moment, he hurriedly packed up his clothes at will, opened the stone door and ran out, yesterday in Hongbang Village and the starfish girl were better, and now this point is a long time late.

He secretly complained in his heart, thinking of the appearance of asking people yesterday if they would get up so early, Shen Shi couldn't help but have a fever on his face, but at this time there was no other way but to rush over as soon as possible. As for asking Su He and the other senior brothers about the strange state of the flesh backlash, I'll wait until I come back earlier today to look for them.

Running out of the cave, Shen Shi walked briskly in the direction of Qingyuji, didn't take a few steps, only to hear the stone door of the cave next door suddenly opened, Sun You walked out, saw Shen Shi at first sight, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to greet him.

Shen Shi stopped, waited for him to run to him, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Where are you going?"

Sun You happened to open his mouth, and he actually asked the same question, the two looked at each other and smiled, they were both Wan'er, and then walked side by side, Shen Shi said: "I'll still go to the red clam village." ”

Sun You glanced at him and said, "Do you really do the shrimp peeling?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "There are only five, let's try it again today, the main thing is that there are really no suitable tasks on the side of Baihetang." By the way, after you went back yesterday, did you find any tasks?"

Sun You paused for a moment, but he glanced around secretly, as if he was a little weak-hearted, and then said softly to Shen Shi: "He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang didn't find anything satisfactory, they said that they would go and see it today, after all, it is said that new tasks will be promulgated from time to time in Baihetang." As for me," he laughed dryly and said in a low voice, "I went to the Spirit Beast Hall and took over the task of raising beasts. ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Yesterday we were at the White Crane Hall, didn't we ask about this task, I remember that senior sister clearly told us that the task of raising beasts is full." ”

Sun You coughed and said, "Hmm...... That's right, that senior sister didn't lie to us. ”

Shen Shi looked at him and said, "Then how did you get in?"

Sun You's face became more and more embarrassed, he hesitated, but lowered his voice, and said, "Isn't my brother-in-law on the side of the White Crane Hall, he is very familiar with a senior brother in the Spirit Beast Palace, and I asked him for a favor......

Shen Shi looked at him for a long time without saying a word, then shook his head with a smile, and walked forward, Sun You somehow, he felt a little unreasonable, ran to him and said with a little embarrassment: "Shen Shi, in fact, I really asked you yesterday, saying that you can go to feed beasts together, but my brother-in-law said that if you can accept one more person to go over, it is already a big face given by that senior brother, and there is really no way." ”

Shen Shi turned his head, shook his head and smiled: "Sun You, don't be careful, I didn't think about anything else." It's a good thing that you have an uncle to help you, and I'm only happy for you, and it's not a big deal. ”

Sun You sighed, his face seemed to be a little concerned, and said, "You really didn't go to your heart?"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "How can things in the world be taken seriously as equal and fair." It's okay. ”

Sun You breathed a sigh of relief, the two chatted all the way, and unconsciously walked to the herring fish set, where Sun You wanted to go in the other direction where the spirit beast hall was fed, as for the road to Hongbang Village, because there was only one place, and there were no other teenagers to go over, so only Shen Shi went in that direction alone.

All the way to Hongbang Village, Shen Shi saw a young girl squatting on the ground at the entrance of the village, with a large basket of bamboo cages beside her.

When he got closer, Shen Shi chuckled in his heart, the starfish girl's face looked very gloomy, and she looked like a volcano was about to erupt......
