Chapter 20: Burning
Long-term consumption of demon beast flesh and blood, taking spiritual grass or spiritual food, can gradually strengthen the body and increase lifespan.
This is because the life force and spiritual power contained in it will be consumed by the body in place of the life force it has.
It's like a bucket of leaking water, and while it is gradually emptied, several more bowls of water are added out of thin air, so that it can naturally have a little longer time left
Even, in the legend, there is a centenarian who is approaching, but because he did not see his eldest son in the field and refused to swallow his breath, the family was helpless, so they used the juice of the spirit grass to continue his life for seven days, and waited until his son came from other states to swallow his breath.
Although it is an exaggeration, it is enough to show its effect and prove that these things can indeed continue life.
Moreover, for cultivators, not to mention increasing their cultivation, this effect of enhancing vitality will be even better.
Ordinary people actually can't perfectly absorb the nutrients and energy of these great supplements, although their lives are fluctuating like floating grass, they are not solid and stable, far less condensed than the essence of life of cultivators, but the vitality itself is complete, and the excess vitality will only increase their strength and strengthen their bodies, but it will not extend their lifespan.
The life origin of ordinary people is complete and fragile, and the life origin of cultivators is rapidly burning and powerful, although it is easy to repair the life force, but if you don't cultivate, how can you use it?
After all, these spiritual objects only increase the amount of water in your bucket, not make your bucket bigger - of course, eating every day, and eating too much is another matter.
Only cultivators, whose bodies are in a state of burning life all the time, can only these cultivators whose life origins are extremely powerful be able to perfectly and meticulously absorb and utilize the effects of these genius earth treasures.
As we all know, the lifespan of junior cultivators is actually inferior to that of ordinary mortals, and the reason is precisely because they have not completed the body without leakage, and in the process of cultivation, there will be unnecessary loss when blood qi induces aura, and blood qi is a state of mind that is the origin of life, and a trace of loss will reduce a trace of lifespan.
The more diligent the cultivation, the faster the cultivation increases, and the shorter its lifespan will be, but the upper limit of its lifespan will also be.
They make the bucket bigger by consuming the water in the bucket, unlike mortals, the upper limit of their life span is constantly increasing, but in fact, the life span of life is constantly decreasing, and the upper limit of life span and actual life span are reduced at the same time, and when the upper limit reaches zero, it is the time when the life is exhausted, and when the cultivator's life is exhausted, the upper limit may still have hundreds of years.
High-level demon beast flesh and blood, spirit flower spirit plant, mortals will only let their water overflow if they eat it, and they will live for more than ten hours at most, but the cultivator will be very different when he eats it, but he can perfectly absorb the water, exert its effect, and live for ten and a half months more.
Sometimes, there will be many cultivators who find that they only need to continue cultivating for a few more months to complete the leakless body, or even advance to the Chengdan realm, and they will no longer be troubled by their lifespan, but in fact, according to the estimated vitality in their body, they will die unwillingly because their lifespan will be burned out in two weeks.
The helplessness of the approaching deadline is the suffering that these cultivators cannot avoid.
And at this time, it is the stage for high-level demon beast flesh and spirit plants!
After all, as long as there are enough spiritual objects and vitality, the life span of a cultivator will definitely far exceed that of ordinary people, not to mention anything else, two or three hundred years will definitely be there.
It's just that this kind of thing is relatively rare, and it is impossible for everyone to have a share, so there are still many cultivators in the world who are worried about the balance of lifespan and cultivation.
Some people may think that there are so many demon beasts in this world, and the number is even many times that of the total human population, let alone cultivators who are one in ten thousand, how can their flesh and blood not be enough?
In fact, this is just a matter of efficiency, the number and level of demon beasts are naturally pyramid-shaped, and the low-level demon beasts have the most, and the increased lifespan of these low-level demon beasts is not worth mentioning at all, even if it is swallowed by a whole head, it will increase by a week or two at most or a little more, and where can ordinary people eat so much?
Even the finger-sized insects are the size of human beings after turning into demon beasts, and even the most ordinary wild boar king has several tons of meat, and these flesh and blood add up to a total of about a few weeks' vitality - a few tons of meat, and after eating it in a few weeks, this is something that cannot be done at all.
Even if it is a cultivator, the absorption ability is extremely powerful, but a large demon beast may not be able to eat it in a month, even if it eats it all, such a long time passes, at most, it is just a loss or gain.
Only high-grade demon beast flesh and blood is the real life-sustaining thing, only one bite, you can continue your life for a few days, eat a few meals, it is a few weeks, plus the demon beast flesh and blood is a huge weight, as long as it is preserved, it is enough to continue life for several years or even longer.
If you have that condition, if you eat this level of spiritual creature every day, not to mention, not only will you not be distressed by your lifespan, but you will also speed up your cultivation progress because of the overflowing vitality.
However, the number of high-level demon beasts is really pitiful, their strength is not weak, they also have a certain amount of wisdom, there are many people who need their flesh and blood, but it is extremely difficult to catch them, not only that, but even their lives will be in danger.
The cultivators who can guarantee that there is no risk to catch them are all people who don't need to worry about their lifespan, that is to say, either the cultivators who are gathering the Xuancheng Pill are the real Jindan real people.
But even if it is them, they may not be able to find it, except for the help of the bloodline descendants, who will waste their cultivation time?
And that's where Kurokawa was shocked.
This demon eel is not a high-level demon beast, but it is definitely not a low-level demon beast, it is considered to be the average level of ordinary demon beasts.
However, this level of health dissipated in his body in a matter of seconds.
Although this does not mean that someone else's vitality can only live for a few seconds - this difference is too big and exaggerated, it is completely nonsense, Kurokawa guesses that it is just due to the rapid absorption of water like a dry desert caused by the excessive consumption of the body, but the situation has reached such a serious point that he did not imagine.
He had always thought that after absorbing so much of the demon's life force, he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing for the time being! With such a huge amount of vitality, even if only a quarter of it was used to pay for the loss of cultivation, it would be able to be used for more than ten years.
When it comes to the vitality of demons, there is a clearer contrast.
According to the same weight, if the flesh and blood of ordinary beasts are counted as one or two, the common demon beasts like the big boar are about dozens, the demon eels are hundreds, and the evil demons are calculated by ten thousand or even one hundred thousand.
I don't know how much, anyway, it's just an evil demon the size of an ordinary person's body, and its vitality is more than this demon eel more than ten meters long, I don't know how much, just the free energy overflowing from its crystals can temporarily meet the needs of Kurokawa's weak body at that time, instead of being like this eel meat, holding on for a few seconds and then there is no follow-up.
What does this mean? This means that even absorbing the free energy of the Demon Crystal is more than catching an ordinary Demon Beast and eating them!
