Chapter 20: Shedding, Molting

"Whoa......

The chains on the Dan furnace were stirred by Baifu, and the lid was slowly lifted, and with a "bang", the lid was completely separated from the Dan furnace.

As soon as the lid of the furnace struggled with the furnace body, there was a "poof" sound in the furnace, and a pale green aroma erupted. Bai Fu, who was guarding by the fireside, immediately opened his mouth and sucked it all into his stomach.

What was swallowed into the stomach by Bai Fu was the Dan Qi of this furnace pill, which could also be said to be the condensation of some of the essence of those herbs that had not become a Dan after being tempered by the fire.

The higher the quality of the pill, the brighter the color of the pill (the color depends on which herbs are refined). The top-level elixir, the Dan Qi can even form Qingyun, Jinhua, Ruiqi, Dragon and Phoenix and other shapes.

Although Bai Fu can't refine a top-grade pill, this furnace pill uses many high-grade herbs, and its essence is still very replenishing. He took a breath of Dan Qi into his abdomen, his face immediately became extremely ruddy, and he felt that his whole body was full of power, and he could go up the mountain to fight the tiger and go down to the sea to capture the dragon.

Well, it's okay to hurt and fight a tiger, but as for going to the sea to capture the dragon, that's a complete illusion. With his small body, it is not enough for a dragon to stuff his teeth, and even the smallest three-zhang young dragon can crush him to death with his body!

After letting go of this section and enjoying the Dan Qi, Bai Fu locked the wheel of the iron chain, and then looked down at the furnace, only to see a piece of Dan blue beads lying quietly in the furnace.

After carefully tasting it with the second finger of his right hand and holding it in front of his eyes, he found that there were dots of spiritual light on the surface, and Bai Fu immediately knew that this was a peak mortal-level pill.

Take another one, the best of all grades.

The same rice raises a thousand kinds of people, and a class has good and bad students. It is naturally impossible for a furnace of Dan to be of the same quality, and there are always some grades that have fallen due to various reasons.

Bai Fu counted and found that there were twelve of the best Fan Dan and twenty-three of the peak spirit pills. Feeling that something was wrong, he pinched his fingers and calculated, twelve plus twenty-three equals thirty-five, one less than expected, not a heavenly number.

"It seems that there is an elixir that was scattered when the pill was shaken, and it was refined into slag by the high temperature!" Bai Fu didn't care about this, and after receiving the pill, he put the lid back on the furnace and walked towards the outside of the pill room.

At this time, the sky is already dark, in this era of sunrise and sunset, the monsters in the cave and the six daughters of Keqing have rested, and the cave is silent.

Although he hasn't slept for three days, he has just taken a breath of pure Dan Qi, and his energy is full, and Bai Fu is not sleepy at all. He walked out of his courtyard lightly, without alarming the sleeping six daughters of Keqing.

Bai Fu came to the edge of the waterhole, jumped on the Crouching Tiger Stone, immediately sat down cross-legged, rubbed the umbilicus, refined and swallowed the Dan Qi in his mouth, and stored it as his own essence.

Half an hour later, Bai Fu got up, his bones crackled, and Bai Fu felt that his strength had increased again.

"Okay!" Bai Fu snorted lightly, and when he jumped down from Crouching Tiger, he grabbed the ears of the bronze tripod by the pond with both hands and waved it up and down.

"The strength is really much greater than before, and it is a little easier to play this bronze tripod than before. Bai Fu knew in his heart, the feeling just now was not an illusion.

After holding a thousand catties of bronze tripods, Bai Fu was finally tired. When he returned to his lodgings, he did not even wash, but took off his robe, and fell asleep until he woke up at three o'clock the next day.

After three days and nights of fierce fighting, Bai Fu wanted to be lazy, but thinking of his current fate, Bai Fu gave up the warm and comfortable bed. Resolutely got up, under Keqing's service, washed up, and after enjoying a hearty (a large table) breakfast, he went to the edge of the waterhole to fight with the bronze tripod.

Life seems to have returned to the original point, Bai Fu seems to have become the ascetic monk of his predecessor who wants to become an immortal again, the difference is that drinking milk has been replaced by Dandan, and there are six more beauties around him to serve.

Every day, I eat a 100-year-old red ginseng with many precious medicinal materials to refine the pill, and then practice penance, and the pill is 35 days.

At that time, summer and autumn are coming, and it is the harvest season.

..................

"The strength seems to have reached a bottleneck. Bai Fu stood on the Crouching Tiger Stone, thinking that his strength didn't seem to have increased in the past three days, so he knew that he had reached a bottleneck, and he had returned to the peak of cultivation, and if he didn't break through, there would be no more progress.

"However, it seems that even the body has grown to a bottleneck, and it won't grow long if you don't molt! It seems that after molting your skin and cultivating yourself, you can try to impact the Heaven and Earth Portal and advance to the Qi Refining Demon General!" Bai Fu muttered in a low voice, glanced at the red leaves on the mountain, jumped down from the Crouching Tiger Stone, and walked towards the mansion.

In the dark stone chamber of the retreat, there was a strange grinding sound that kept clattering. Following the prestige, I saw a sharp-nosed pit viper about four and a half feet long, whose body was tightly entangled in a very rough, angular stone, with its mouth wide open, rubbing the hard objects at the corners of its mouth, and snake scales fell off on the ground, and the snake's mouth and snake skin had a thin mouth, and snake blood was constantly oozing out.

The skin of this sharp-nosed pit viper is darker and lighter than that of its counterparts, and its eyes are not jet-black, but blue-white, milky. This appearance is clearly that the snake is about to molt! And when it rubs the corners of its mouth, it should be trying to wear out the skin of its mouth and then drill it out!

This is to molt the sharp-nosed pit viper, which is naturally the white recovery of its true appearance. He has a strong appetite lately, his body is growing very fast, and the protective snakeskin hinders the growth of his body, so he wants to shed it.

Molting is tantamount to peeling alive, and the pain of tearing off the skin feels cold when you think about it, and the pain is absolutely strong!

Bai Fu couldn't scream in pain now, his mouth scraped on the sharp stone again and again, and the pain was so painful that he didn't even feel like screaming. Now he just wanted to shed his skin as soon as possible so that he could put an end to this inhuman suffering. If the snake had hands, he would have tore his mouth apart and peeled off the skin when it was hot!

With a "click", one of the edges and corners of the big stone was directly rubbed off, but its snake skin was too tough and strong, and the stone edges were broken by him.

After about ten minutes, the snakeskin at the mouth was finally torn open with a "snap". Seeing that the snake's skin was broken, Bai Fu immediately felt energetic, wrapped himself around the stone, and struggled forward, and after four or five minutes of hard work, he finally broke off all the skin on his head.

The rest is simple, Bai Fu let go of his body, endured the pain of pulling the skin, hung the snakeskin that had fallen to his neck on a sharp corner of the stone, and rushed forward, with a "Sila" sound, the snakeskin turned upside down, and the body drilled out little by little.

A minute later, Bai Fu finally skinned off his snake skin alive.

"Hiss......" The snake's skin has just shedd, and the unprotected snake body is very immature, and even the wind blowing on the body will feel the pain of piercing the heart. Therefore, Bai Fu, who has shed his skin, is still in inhuman pain when he lies on the ground.

Lord Almighty, may God bless him for relief from his suffering, Amitabha!
