Chapter 19: The Way of Demons
The "Evil Emperor Relic" was in the copper jar in front of him, and it was within reach, but the most important question placed in front of Li Shidao was how he should absorb the Yuan Essence inside.
If there is no way to absorb the essence of the element, then getting it is the same as not getting it, and even more regretful and helpless than not getting it.
He knew that Shuanglong had the method of absorbing the essence of the "Evil Emperor Relic" in the original book, but that required two people who cultivated the longevity recipe and had the same skills and different attributes to do it. And even if he did it, he would not be able to control the amount of the Yuan essence gushing out, and he would not have the encounter where Shuanglong had strengthened the meridians with the ability of the Heshi Bi, and he would definitely end up with a broken meridian.
He would never have tried this method unless he had reached the end of his rope.
Although he didn't think of a way to absorb the Yuan Essence in it now, he had a way to absorb the miscellaneous qi in it, which was also useful to himself.
The miscellaneous qi in the relics is open, and only the Yuan Jing is closed, and the way to communicate with the huge miscellaneous qi in the relics is through the exchange of true qi. It is not difficult to absorb the miscellaneous qi from the relics, but the problem is that it is impossible to control the amount of miscellaneous qi and it is impossible to filter out the harmful dead and evil qi that comes with it.
However, Li Shidao had been preparing for this day for a long time, so he naturally came prepared, and he was already prepared to deal with miscellaneous qi.
He knew very well the harm of taking the relics with his luck, so he collected all his skills and dantian, opened the copper pot, stretched out the mercury filled with the inside of the copper pot with his bare hands, and took out the "evil emperor relics" floating inside.
Yang Gong's treasure house is currently an absolutely safe place, unless there is a road map to enter and exit here like him, it is impossible for the three great grandmasters to sneak in here silently. So that's where he began to suck up miscellaneous gases.
Walking to the stone table in the center of the stone room and sitting down, he placed the "Evil Emperor Relic" in the center of the stone face, took out a leather case that was rolled up from the package behind him, and took out a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair and about three inches long.
Immediately, he held the silver needle between his two fingers, and put the other end of the silver needle on the "Evil Emperor Relic", which was steeply used in the silver needle, and connected the true qi to the "Evil Emperor Relic" at the other end through the silver needle. In an instant, this silver needle became a bridge, connecting him and the relics without barriers.
ββββBoom!!
A large amount of evil qi and dead qi in the relics poured unstoppably along this bridge made of silver needles towards Li Shidao like a flood that had broken the embankment, making his mind full of illusions for a while, like thousands of unjust souls coming together to ask for his life, and all he could do was to passively bear it. He was prepared, guarding his mind while using his innate true qi to fight against the strange qi that came over.
Miscellaneous qi, dead qi, and evil qi came at the same time, more and more, and the power carried by the treasures instilled by countless masters had already exceeded the limit of what people could bear, if they continued to let the relics be instilled like this, these miscellaneous qi alone would be enough to make Li Shidao go mad and die.
------Smack!!
Just as the miscellaneous qi in the relics was continuously poured into Li Shidao's body, the silver needle connecting the two suddenly burst out with a soft sound and broke apart from the middle. Without its connection, there would be no channel for miscellaneous qi to gush out, and he could only stay obediently in the relic, while Li Shidao, who was fighting against the dead qi, was just sitting like this, maintaining the posture of reaching out his hand, motionless.
A huge amount of miscellaneous qi, evil qi, and death qi were agitating and surging in the meridians, eroding the meridians, while Li Shidao was guarding his mind and fighting against it with the innate true qi cultivated by his own cultivation of the Immortal Technique, and constantly repairing the meridians that had been eroded by the miscellaneous qi.
The innate true qi is endless, and the recovery speed is extremely fast, while the miscellaneous qi is a rootless wood and sourceless water, which disappears a little bit every time it is eliminated, and the situation will soon have the original evenly matched development to the dominance of the innate true qi, refining the miscellaneous qi one by one and expelling it from the body.
ββββWhew!!
I don't know how long it took, the innate true qi completely expelled the miscellaneous qi from the body, and Li Shidao performed nine turns, and after making sure that there was no trace of miscellaneous qi, he grew a breath and woke up.
This awakening, he immediately felt the difference.
First of all, due to the violent conflict with miscellaneous qi, dead qi, and evil qi, after such tempering, the innate true qi suddenly gained a trace of agility and vitality, and the quality also became a little more refined, and the quantity also increased a little because of the essence part of refining miscellaneous qi.
Secondly, his own meridians have been completely healed in less than a day after the mutual collision of miscellaneous qi and innate true qi, but with the unique repair efficiency of innate true qi, it will be completely cured in less than a day. Moreover, due to the repeated impact of miscellaneous qi and true qi, it has played a quenching effect, and the bearing capacity has increased a lot, and more true qi can be accommodated.
In the end, the illusion of thousands of Yin Spirits coming together to ask for his life was also sharpening his mind, making him comprehend more and more in the stage of refining qi and transforming gods, and his mind became more powerful.
At this time, although Li Shidao did not have a sharp increase in strength, he also felt that the whole person had a kind of change that was being reborn, and he believed that as long as he continued to sharpen himself with the method of "casting the Dao with demons" that he had conceived, even if he did not absorb the Yuan Essence in the relics, he would still be able to improve himself rapidly.
"The method I spent a long time coming up with really worked!" Li Shidao was excited in his heart, and his eyes turned to look at the broken silver needle.
"It's all thanks to my well-designed silver needle!"
This silver needle is not a common silver needle for acupuncture, but when Li Shidao was in Lingnan, he asked skilled craftsmen to deliberately cast it, and it has no other use, but only one significant characteristic, that is, when the internal force of true qi passes through excessively, it will spontaneously break, and it is precisely because of this that he avoids excessive surging of miscellaneous qi into the meridians.
There are many more of the same silver needles, and according to Li Shidao's estimation, it is far enough for him to absorb all the miscellaneous qi and dead qi in the relics. However, because the meridians have not yet recovered, it is inconvenient for him to continue to use the method of "casting the path with demons" to promote his strength, so he can only wait for the meridians to recover.
When he came here, he didn't prepare food, he was busy for most of the day, and his stomach felt hungry, at that moment, he put the evil emperor relics in the box contained in the package, then packed the box, and took some silver taels in the treasure house, out of the Yang Gong treasure house, he restored the mechanism as before, and went straight back to the inn where he stayed.
"The most precious Evil Emperor Relic of Yang Gong's Treasure House has arrived, and I will ...... next"
Li Shidao was eating his meal while thinking about where to go, and suddenly, the conversation between the two Jianghu guests next to him attracted his attention and made him listen unconsciously.
