A roar swooped in with the wind, and the beast came to Qi Yue in the blink of an eye at an astonishing speed, waving its claws and striking left and right at his head.

"Bang" raised his left arm to block the right claw of the beast, and his right fist clenched and suddenly swung out towards the oncoming left claw.

"Bang"

The fierce beast was shocked by Qi Yue's strange power and retreated, its claws fell into the ground and dragged out a long dent before it stopped its body, compared to it, Qi Yue seemed to have the upper hand, his body only shook slightly, and he took a small step back half a step to unload his strength, and stood proudly in place.

In the first confrontation, the fierce beast suffered a big loss from Qi Yue's strength, and no longer fought hard, but cautiously wandered around him to prepare for a sneak attack.

Of course, Qi Yue would not sit still, his legs kicked, and his arms suddenly swung out, bringing a gust of wind and sand in the air.

Seeing that it was about to fight for the second time, the fierce beast thrust one foot into the dirt on the ground, and then kicked forward hard, the huge force made the mud and sand on the ground splash up, and for a moment the dust covered Qi Yue's line of sight.

The figure slammed suddenly, covering his eyes with one hand, and just as he was about to retreat, there was a sound of breaking the air on the right.

"Drink" regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he directly punched out the black jade fist and smashed the flying stones into flying ashes.

"Not good!"

The body turned abruptly in place, and the idle left arm subconsciously raised to block the sneak attack behind it.

"Wow~", the sound of sharp claws clawing into flesh and blood.

The pain in the heart made Qi Yue go violently, his face was hideous, and his eyes were about to split

"Look for death!" The right fist broke through the limit speed, and completed the fist, accumulation, and punching again in half a breath, and the power was urged to the extreme, and a trace of imperceptible dark inscription appeared on the fist.

The fierce beast subconsciously withdrew its claws into defense, and the dark black iron fist and the claws glowing with the cold of the forest collided together again, making an earth-shattering sound

"Boom~!"

The black shadow of the height of the foot rolled out of the dust, flew out of seven or eight feet, smashed more than a dozen boulders one after another, and fell near the grotto in the distance, splashing a cloud of dust.

The right shoulder was blurred with flesh and blood, and Qi Yue, who was in pain, just grinned his teeth, but fortunately, he was used to being injured often during this time, and he took out the medicine bottle in his arms and sprinkled it with the medicine powder to stop bleeding, and the cool feeling from the wound made him feel better.

Hastily bandaged the wound, picked up the Wave Breaking Sword on the ground and walked straight towards the direction where the beast had landed.

Looking at his fist, except for a layer of calluses on it, and the color was slightly darker, it was no different from usual, but looking down at the corpse of the fierce beast, the sharp claws used for defense were broken into pieces, only some tendons were broken, and the deep fist mark on the chest shook the ribs out, and the bare back was its fatal wound.

Scratching the back of his head, he couldn't figure it out, and just as he was about to lean over to take a closer look, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the emerald green of the cavern above the corpse, fluttering in the wind.

"Rock Serpent Grass!"

With great joy in his heart, he hurriedly left the corpse and jumped up, pulling off the roots and soil.

When Qi Yue was complacent, Xiaoxi's voice appeared in his mind, "No, there must be rock snakes guarding the rock snake grass around, why didn't it appear?

When Qi Yue heard this, he waved his hand and said casually, "Whatever, my purpose is this medicine, just get it."

Throwing the rock snake grass into the storage space, he turned around and was about to leave, but Xiaoxi suddenly stopped, "It's not right, you hurry up and go to the grotto above to have a look, don't you have a big harvest!"

Although he didn't really want to make a difference, Xiaoxi said so, and it was impossible for Qi Yue not to take a look.

When entering the grotto, for the sake of safety, Qi Yue carried a boulder the size of the entrance of the cave from the side and blocked it, so as not to have a large spirit beast come in, and then come to catch turtles in an urn.

The cave is not as deep as imagined, the fire in the left hand is broken, and the wave breaking sword in the right hand is clenched, and it will not take a moment to reach the depths of the grotto

"I'll go~!"

Qi Yue was taken aback, and the fire fold in his hand almost fell to the ground, but after a while, he came to his senses and cautiously approached to take a closer look

A giant rock snake was entrenched in the cave, motionless, its eyes closed as if it was hibernating.

I mustered up the courage to walk forward again, came to the body of the giant snake, tentatively stretched out my hand and touched it, the whole body was cold, there was no feeling of living creatures, but there was an illusion of touching the cold rock.

Just as Qi Yue was about to observe further, a voice sounded in his head, "Don't look, this rock snake is already dead."

"Dead?" By the light of the fire, he carefully looked at the giant snake in front of him, even if it was entrenched together, there were three or four feet, lifelike, except that his eyes were not opened, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't want to be dead.

"Leave it alone, use your Wave Breaker to dissolve its belly and see if there's anything inside"

The sword flashed and stabbed down diagonally

There was a crisp sound of "poof", not the sound of piercing flesh and blood as imagined, but something like the sound of a sword blade hitting earth and stone.

The serpent's abdomen seemed to have weathered for a long time, and its appearance began to shed on its own, and after a few moments, it scattered and shattered into a pile of dark red stones.

In the darkness, a round thing rolled out, glowing with a faint yellow light, attracting Qi Yue's attention.

Bend over to pick it up, put it between the palm of your hand and observe it carefully, the size of the thumb cover, the whole body is an irregular oval, there is a hint of déjà vu.

"Let's go, as soon as this Neidan comes out of the snake's belly, it will soon attract powerful spirit beasts, go back to Ziyang Peak first and then see!" Xiaoxi's voice urged Qi Yue's mind.

Out of the grotto all the way to run wildly, until about to leave the range of the stone forest, there was a huge roar in the distance behind him, faintly felt as if there was a fierce beast rushing in his direction, his heart was shocked, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and continued to run out, until Qixia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

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

At night, there is silence, only the moonlight outside the window quietly sprinkles on the earth, quietly moistening everything in spring.

"Rotten horn flower, sand tree roots...... And the all-important thing is the Rock Snake Grass, which tosses the herbs one by one into a steaming wooden barrel and steam them over a fierce firewood underneath.

Half an hour later, the barrel was boiling, the hot water was overflowing, and the whole room was filled with the unpleasant and pungent smell of medicine, which made people nauseous.

Taking advantage of the effect of the medicine, he endured the burning on the barrel, and suddenly hugged his hands with a "bang" sound, and placed it firmly on the ground, without spilling a drop of liquid medicine during the period.

Hurriedly closed the door, stripped off his clothes and plunged into the barrel

"Ah~!" Qi Yue, who had just entered the wooden barrel, was scalded and slammed, slapping his reddened skin again and again, and jumping to his feet.

"Come in, the effect of the medicine is only half an hour, and the hour will be wasted!" Xiaoxi shouted in a serious tone as an overseer at this moment.

"Fight!"

Resisting the pain of the hot water burn, his eyes were closed, he pinched his nose, squatted down and plunged into it again.

After being like water, Qi Yue's entire brain was emptied, as if he had cut off all contact with the outside world, and the burning sensation on his body gradually faded, as if he had become numb.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, a little bit of time passed, and the initial pain was gone, just when Qi Yue was secretly rejoicing in his heart.

suddenly

There were bursts of sharp pain between the limbs and hundreds of bones from the inside out, as if someone was stabbing you with thousands of fine needles at the same time, not only that, but the red and swollen skin that had been scalded suddenly cracked, and the blood suddenly stained the entire wooden barrel red, and from the outside, it was completely a bucket of bright red blood water that was constantly boiling.

Qi Yue's consciousness in the blood water has begun to blur, and his only remaining reason tells him that he must endure it now, covering his mouth and nose with both hands to prevent the blood from entering the mouth, and letting the severe pain in his body continue to intensify, his consciousness is gradually empty, and his body is still exerted by the effect of the medicine.

Qi Yue, who was in a semi-comatose state, didn't realize that at this moment, not only was his physical body transforming, but the violent impact of the medicinal effect and the mental overwhelm made the silent internal force in his body gradually move slightly, and slowly began to wander around the meridians around his body, and the nodes between each meridian were gradually connected, just like the sea of thousands of rivers, everything would be attributed to the sea of dantian qi.

......

When Qi Yue woke up, it was already noon the next day, and at some point his body had already floated up on its own, and the blood in the barrel had become thicker, and there were some black unknown substances floating on it, emitting bursts of foul odor.

He looked at his hands in a daze, a little incredulous

The calluses on the fist had completely faded, revealing the white and tender skin inside, and even the scars left on the body in the past had disappeared, replaced by a crystal clear, like the finest white jade.

He quickly stood up and walked out of the barrel, picking up the mirror from the table and looking closely

I was taken aback, it's hard to believe that this is myself, the tanning caused by the sun and rain in the past has completely fallen off, and the newborn skin is as tender as a baby.

The change in appearance is not the most important thing

"Drink" threw a punch

"Smack!" a gust of fist whistled by, bringing up a mess in the room, and the teacups, teapots, and potted plants on the windowsill three feet away all fell to the ground and fell to pieces, scattered all over the ground.

His lips were slightly open, his eyes widened, and he stared at everything in front of him in a daze, as if he didn't believe that he had caused it.

After being stunned for a long time, he reached out and wanted to pinch his thigh to see if it was true, but suddenly found that his muscles had become extremely tight, and he tried several times without pinching out any excess meat.

After thinking about it, he took out the long sword that he hadn't used for a long time, and looked at his left arm and waved it down

"Boom!"

With a similar sound of metal intersecting, the longsword didn't even leave a white mark on the arm, and slid straight through.

Looking at the sword body that was still trembling in his hand, realizing that all this was not a dream, his heart was ecstatic, and he didn't know what to do for a while, walking around the room, his mouth was still chattering, and there were some signs of madness.

It wasn't until Xiaoxi's voice sounded here in his head that his excitement was interrupted

"Compared to the changes in your body, I think you'd better look inside you first"
