Chapter 5 Slate
I saw that the body of the toad tightly entangled by the python was bulging and bulging. The green pustules on his body all turned into translucent spheres like leather balls. You can clearly see the green liquid inside.
"Bang!" There was a dull loud bang, and in an instant, it seemed that a green rain had fallen in this clearing in the woods. The raindrops fell to the ground, sending up white smoke and scorching the rocks into small holes. This green liquid is extremely corrosive, like concentrated sulfuric acid.
All living beings within a radius of hundreds of zhang turned into a puff of white smoke in this green rain.
Wang Yicheng stood on a big tree hundreds of feet away and saw this scene, and his heart palpitated. Afraid of being affected by the battle, he retreated here, but he escaped. Caution is the first element of an lurker, and it's just too right.
I saw that the glade had been wrapped in this cloud of white smoke, and there was a continuous screaming sound of python spirits coming from inside. He was the closest to the toad spirit self-detonation, and naturally suffered the most damage.
After some time, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning light dispersed the white smoke. I saw that the clearing in the original woods had expanded several times, and the surrounding hundreds of zhang of trees had all withered and were in a mess.
Wang Yicheng slowly walked towards the center of the clearing, where there was still a pungent smell, but it was no longer poisonous. The toad in the center of the clearing was gone, and only a large snake with blurred flesh and blood remained.
The python spirit looked very miserable at this time, the golden scales on his body were almost gone, revealing charred flesh, half of his head was off, and he was lying motionless on the ground.
"Huh!" Wang Yicheng was overjoyed in his heart, it turned out that the white slate that caused trouble was actually safe and sound. In such a tragic battle scene, this thing can still be preserved, which also proves that this thing is extraordinary.
Wang Yicheng picked up the slate and slowly walked to the python spirit. Suddenly, half of the python spirit's head moved, and then with a flick of his tail, he actually wrapped up Lin Song's arm holding the stone slab.
Wang Yicheng's heart tightened, the vitality of the python spirit was too strong, and he was injured like this, but he was not dead.
I saw that the python spirit slowly opened the only remaining eye and looked at Wang Yicheng coldly. It's like a snake creature, looking at the gaze of its prey.
Wang Yicheng instantly felt a threat to his life in his heart, and even so, the snake spirit could kill him instantly.
Wang Yicheng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and the desire to escape. Flee now, and you will surely die.
Wang Yicheng tried his best to control his expression and tone, and said with concern: "Wang, I'll go get you medicine to heal your injuries, you have to believe me." ”
Every lurker is trained in tone, expression, and voice, and how to gain the trust of others in an unfavorable situation is also a science.
Wang Yicheng's sincere expression moved the snake spirit. The snake tail that wrapped around Wang Yicheng's arm slowly loosened.
Suddenly, Wang Yicheng's body suddenly rolled to the side, and at the same time, the white light in his hand flashed, and he threw out a dagger, which deeply pierced the only remaining eyeball of the snake spirit, leaving only one handle outside.
The snake spirit let out a terrible roar, its body flapped wildly, its tail was like half a steel whip, and everywhere it went, trees fell and rocks shattered.
However, it lost its eyesight and couldn't see Wang Yicheng's position, so it could only hit indiscriminately. After a few moments, it seemed to have exhausted its life force, and lay motionless on the ground.
Wang Yicheng was afraid of fraud, so he also shrank behind the big stone and did not move. After a long time, the serpent still lay on the ground and did not move.
Wang Yicheng groaned slightly, picked up a small pebble from the ground, bent his fingers, and bounced it into the distance, hitting a big stone and making a sound.
Suddenly, the huge body of the snake spirit jumped up, and its tail slammed into the stone, and with a "boom", the car-sized stone was smashed into pieces.
Wang Yicheng felt a slight chill down his spine, and this snake spirit was also cunning, it couldn't see itself, so it pretended to be dead. As long as there is a slight movement, it is a thunderous blow.
I only heard the snake spirit say slowly, "Huang Mao, come out quickly, I think of the credit you brought me the dragon scale grass, and I can ignore what happened just now." ”
"The ghost only believes it!" Wang Yicheng rolled his eyes, and in this gloomy tone, it didn't look like "don't care".
The snake spirit waited for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't hear any movement, his body suddenly trembled slightly, brewed for a moment, and suddenly spit out a breath of black gas. This is his talent poisonous mist, and when he fought with the toad just now, he had already consumed almost it. At this time, he barely spit out a mouthful, and it was also very thin, saying that it was black gas, but it was better to say that it was a faint black mist. However, even the toxicity contained in this faint black mist is not something that a little demon like Wang Yicheng can withstand.
The black mist slowly spread in all directions like an ever-expanding ring, and soon approached the location where Wang Yicheng was hiding. At this time, what Wang Yicheng missed most was the gas mask that the organization distributed to him when he was on a mission in the past.
However, at this time, he had no choice but to flee. I saw him grab a handful of stones and keep catapulting around, and there was a crackling sound all around, and the snake spirit roared angrily, continuously attacking the place where the sound was made, taking this opportunity, Wang Yicheng took a deep breath, turned around and ran towards the woods.
Wang Yicheng ran this time, and the snake spirit immediately found out. I only heard the rumbling sound behind me, and the snake spirit chased after me. The snake spirit's eyes couldn't see the road, and the reason why Wang Yicheng ran into the woods was because he hoped to block the snake spirit with the help of trees. But the scene behind him disappointed him, and the strength of the snake spirit's body was far beyond his imagination. The snake spirit couldn't see the road, so he simply rushed over, crackling and rumbling along the way, and the big trees of the thickness of the two hugging each other were broken one after another, and the snake spirit was born in the woods to open up a road.
Suddenly, there was a gloom overhead, and the snake's huge body rose into the air, like a dark cloud falling on Wang Yicheng's head.
Wang Yicheng's body pounced hard, and with a bang, the huge body of the snake spirit fell behind him, and the entire ground trembled.
After Wang Yicheng pounced, he then rolled forward vigorously. The snake demon's tail was like a long whip, grazing Wang Yicheng's body and passing rapidly, and the strong wind carried Wang Yicheng's clothes whirred.
With a "boom" sound, a two-person hugging tree suffered an unwarranted disaster and was cut off by the tail of the snake spirit. The stubble was smooth, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Wang Yicheng didn't dare to look back, let alone stay in place, and rushed forward, rushing into a crack in the mountain wall.
The snake spirit was crazy and chased in, and Wang Yicheng hurriedly moved his body into the crack. This crack is more than ten zhang deep, and Wang Yicheng can only stand with his chest against his back. The snake spirit's huge body can't get in at all. The snake spirit tried several times but couldn't get in. Recently, it was only a few feet away from Wang Yicheng. Wang Yicheng could clearly see the hideous and vicious face of the snake spirit. The face was horrible, half of his cheeks were corroded, both eyes were blind, and his own dagger was stuck in one eye. The bloody teeth kept barking at Wang Yicheng, and it was really better to commit suicide if he was bitten into such a disgusting mouth. However, Wang Yicheng really admires that the vitality of this snake is too tenacious.
The snake could not enter the crack, and when it withdrew from the mountain wall, it launched a rage again, and kept whipping the mountain wall with its huge tail, and the gravel burst out, and the mountain wall was shaking slightly. But no matter how powerful it is, it can't tear down the entire mountain, it's just a waste of effort.
Suddenly, it was quiet outside, Wang Yicheng looked out along the crack, and was shocked, and the snake spirit's body was trembling slightly, this was brewing a poisonous mist attack! Wang Yicheng was in a hurry, looked up, and saw that the cracks in the mountain wall had been extending upward, and he could see a line of sky above.
Wang Yicheng struggled to climb up, climbed more than ten zhang, only to hear the sound of the wind "whew", a black mist was blown into the crack, and kept spreading upward. Wang Yicheng moved faster. The black fog was not far from the feet, spreading high altitude. This is a test of Wang Yicheng's climbing speed and ability, fortunately, in his previous life, Wang Yicheng was specially trained in this area and can be regarded as a climbing expert.
I saw that his body was like an ape, jumping up quickly through the uneven places of the stone walls on both sides. This way of climbing is also the most dangerous, if you step on the air and fall, you will not be poisoned by the poisonous mist, but also fall into the mud.
When the poisonous mist was about to spread to the soles of Wang Yicheng's feet, Wang Yicheng jumped upwards and burst out of the crack in the cliff wall.
There was a roar behind him, and the snake demon also climbed up from the side of the mountain wall, and his two hands were like sharp knives, inserted into the stone wall at once, and actually climbed up alive.
"The ghost is not gone!" Wang Yicheng cursed and ran to the top of the mountain. The serpent's huge body quickly caught up.
At the top of the mountain is a cliff, and below it is a mountain stream hundreds of feet deep. Wang Yicheng rushed towards the cliff, and the speed became faster and faster. The snake demon followed closely behind Wang Yicheng and brought up the smoke and dust all the way, faster than Wang Yicheng.
When approaching the cliff, the snake spirit had already chased behind Wang Yicheng, with a bottomless cliff in front of him and a fierce snake spirit behind him.
I only heard Wang Yicheng roar and jumped out of the cliff directly. Being in the air, with a flick of his arm, he just flew out with a claw, just grabbing an ancient tree growing on the edge of the cliff. Then the body circled in the air and swung back again.
The snake spirit can't see it, when he rushed to the edge of the cliff, where can he stop, and his body rushed out of the cliff, but he didn't have Wang Yicheng's ability to fly with his claws, he only listened, the sound of screaming all the way down the cliff, for a long time, he heard a muffled sound of "poof", and the scream stopped abruptly, Wang Yicheng lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see the snake spirit lying in a pile of rocks, motionless. If you can't fall to death at a height of hundreds of zhang, then this snake spirit is too against the sky!
Wang Yicheng gasped and rested for a while, then slowly climbed down the cliff, and when he reached the side of the snake spirit's corpse, he saw that it had been smashed into a mess of mud, and his flesh and blood were blurred. Wang Yicheng used a dagger to cut open the belly of the snake spirit and found a gray bead, which was the inner pill of the monster and the essence of the demon's cultivation.
Wang Yicheng took the stone slab and Neidan and went down the mountain without looking back.
Wang Yicheng walked for several days in a row, climbed over countless mountains, and left the territory of the snake spirit far away. The snake spirit is certainly dead, but Wang Yicheng is worried that there are other big demons who are worried about this treasure of the snake demon. Thinking about the terrifying scene when the two big demons were fighting, Lin Song felt that it was better to be cautious.
Wang Yicheng found a cave in the barren mountain, and after making sure that it was safe, he blocked the entrance of the cave with a large stone, and then began to check his loot.
The python spirit's inner dan had turned grayish-white, and it had formed a hard shell, like a stone bead. When you put it under your nose and smell it, there is a faint fishy smell. The mind is unconsciously a little dizzy.
"This bead contains a lot of poison!" Wang Yicheng was slightly shocked in his heart, and immediately put the bead back in his pocket. A Neidan who has survived a Heavenly Tribulation Demon should be very valuable!
Wang Yicheng took out the mysterious stone slab again, and saw that it was one foot long, half a foot wide, and rectangular. There are many strange patterns on the back, like the totems of primitive tribes. The front is very smooth, like a mirror, bright and white, which can reflect Wang Yicheng's face.
However, Wang Yicheng's brows gradually wrinkled, this slate should not be like this, he thought that there would be a lot of words engraved on it! At least there should be an alchemy pill recipe, because the python essence kept checking on the slate when he was alchemizing.
After careful observation, Wang Yicheng determined that there was indeed no text on this stone tablet. Wang Yicheng thought to himself: "Some magic weapons and magic weapons in this world need to be recognized by dripping blood, is this stone slab a magic weapon?"
Wang Yicheng punctured his fingertip and dropped a drop of blood on the slate, and sure enough, the slate reacted. The blood was instantly absorbed by the slate, and the slate glowed slightly, and slowly, a text appeared on the surface.
"The difficulty of cultivation lies in qualifications. Those with high qualifications will become a matter of course! Change qualifications, a problem through the ages! Cultivation is against the sky, and changing qualifications can be described as the extreme against the sky. This exercise changes one's life against the sky and improves one's qualifications, which can be described as a practice against the sky......"
Wang Yicheng read slowly, with no expression on his face, but there were already huge waves in his heart.
This is a practice dedicated to changing the qualifications of monks. The qualifications of monks are generally innate, and it is almost impossible to change them the day after tomorrow, unless they can eat the top heavenly and earth treasures, immortal grass elixirs and the like, it is absolutely impossible to improve their qualifications.
This exercise makes the impossible possible, and using the exercise to change the qualifications of cultivation can be regarded as a strange book, no wonder the python spirit cherishes it so much, and would rather work hard with the toad spirit than hand over this book.
However, in addition to the cultivation of the meridians, this exercise also needs the assistance of pills. A kind of pill needed during the Qi refining period is called Tongmai Dan, which is used exclusively to expand the meridians, and it is the pill that the snake spirit tries to refine. Come to think of it, it also wants to practice this kind of exercise to improve its qualifications.
After reading this exercise, Wang Yicheng put down the slate and pondered. After crossing into this world by himself, because he was a demon, he didn't cultivate. Now that you have this treasure, you can try it.
It's just that cultivating this exercise requires alchemy skills. Wang Yicheng remembered the alchemy experience of the python spirit that failed several times in a row. The python's cultivation is much higher than him, but he doesn't understand the trick of alchemy, so he still fails. And the techniques of alchemy in this world are all in the hands of human sects.
As soon as he thought of returning to the human sect to practice, Wang Yicheng's eyes immediately appeared in front of him the same kind who was tied to a stone pillar and burned to death. After all, he is a demon, and it is too dangerous to practice in a human sect.
However, is it safe for him to stay in this barren mountain and wilderness as a little demon? Wang Yicheng thought that he was forced by the python spirit to join the demon cave a few years ago, calling around, beating and scolding and bullying him casually. Later, he was forced to infiltrate the Nantian Sect and almost lost his life. In this dangerous world, it's not safe to be a youkai. The only thing that is safe is strength, and only with strength can we live.
Wang Yicheng thought of his relatives and friends on the earth, his wife and daughter, and the motherland where he gave everything. The stone slab said that if you improve your qualifications, your cultivation will be like finding things, and you can cultivate into an immortal and enter the starry sky of the universe, so can you return to the earth?
Thinking that he might be able to return to the earth, Wang Yicheng's heart was hot, and in an instant, he made up his mind to return to the Nantian Sect and embark on the path of cultivating immortals, no matter how dangerous this road was, he would do whatever it took to go on.
Wang Yicheng stood up and prepared to leave the cave and return to the Nantian Sect to participate in the selection of disciples. I was thinking about where to put the slate, but suddenly the slate disappeared from my hand, and the next moment, it actually appeared in my mind. Wang Yicheng was startled and calmed down. As soon as his mind moved, this slate appeared in his hand again, it was really amazing, no wonder, he had never seen the snake demon take out this slate, and he must have put it in his mind.
Wang Yicheng caressed this stone slab lovingly, and suddenly his heart moved, this stone slab is so magical, it is impossible to only provide a way to improve his qualifications during the Qi refining period. After all, the road to cultivation is long, and the problems encountered at different stages are also different.
Wang Yicheng carefully observed the slate again, and suddenly found a small arrow in the lower right corner of the slate. With a flick of his finger, the exercise on the slate was flipped over, and the second page number appeared, just like a tablet in the previous life, which was extremely magical.
Wang Yicheng hurriedly looked at this page carefully, and couldn't help but be very disappointed, it turned out that this page of slate was gray, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but there was a page title, and there was nothing behind the "Second ...... of Improving Qualifications". Wang Yicheng thought to himself, presumably this slate is not a solution out of thin air. It also has to be answered according to the actual situation of the cultivator, and the method is to drop blood, let it test the cultivation physique in the blood, and then give a solution. In addition to the exercises, it may also involve alchemy, formations, and refining tools, but my level is not yet at the moment, so I haven't involved it for the time being.
Wang Yicheng put away the slate, only to feel that his heart was hot. Such a magical treasure fell into his own hands, who else could compare to him on the path of cultivation in the future, and the cultivation realm of the entire continent would change because of himself, and even if he stepped into the immortal realm in the future, he would be able to turn the clouds and rain. Thinking of this, Wang Yicheng was so excited that he almost wanted to laugh and shout, haha, from now on, the name of my Wang Yicheng will be loud in the cultivation realm and the fairy realm. Let countless geniuses bend their waists, countless grandmasters bow their heads, let all the strong people look up, and create a world that belongs to my Wang Yicheng.
Ten days later, the Nantian faction was bustling, the square on the mountainside was crowded, and the path up the mountain was crowded with many people, and from a distance, it looked like a continuous black ribbon.
Today is the day when the Southern Heaven Sect recruits disciples, in the Apocalypse Continent, the cultivator is the real ruler, and there is no mortal who does not want to cultivate, just like no one on the earth does not want to be promoted and make a fortune.
However, cultivation depends on qualifications, and people with cultivation qualifications can be regarded as one in a thousand, which is very rare. Therefore, when the sect openly recruited disciples, all the mortals in a radius of thousands of miles brought their own disciples to the test to see if it was possible to join the immortal sect.
On the mountainside, a tall and simple young man was looking anxiously at it, it was Zeng Wei.
"Could it be that Yicheng forgot the day of today's selection?" Zeng Wei kept muttering in his heart.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his arms and shouted, "Yicheng, here." ”
I saw that Wang Yicheng was carrying a small package and was coming up from the mountain quickly, looking like a dusty man.
"Hurry up and sign up!" Zeng Wei didn't care about greeting Wang Yicheng, so he took his hand, entered a palace, and reported the names of the two.
After reporting his name, Zeng Weicai let out a long sigh and said, "It's so dangerous! After the registration time, you can only wait three years later." But after three years, you're over sixteen, and you're no longer eligible!"
The rules for recruiting disciples are between the ages of ten and sixteen, and if they are too young, it is difficult to understand the esoteric exercises, and if they are too old, the meridians will age, and it will be difficult to practice again. Zeng Wei and Wang Yicheng are fourteen years old, which is just right.
