Chapter 14: The Caterpillar's Metamorphosis
Li Mo frowned slightly, from the joy of obtaining the Seven Rounds of Fire Cultivation to the present, he had entered a state of bottleneck.
This was the first situation he had encountered since he set foot in the Xuanmen, because of the lack of cultivation resources, it was difficult to cultivate even though he had rare martial arts in his hands.
"It would be nice if you could cultivate with ground fire. β
He said to himself.
If it is feasible, even if ten of them are used, no, dozens of earth fires can achieve the effect of heavenly fire.
Li Mo thought of it and did it, he immediately went out of the Hanging Earth Secret Realm, and took out an Earth Fire casually.
Then, according to the exercises of the Seven Rounds of Fire Cultivation, the hands are closed up and down, and the middle is the earth fire, and then, as the hands are slowly closed, the earth fire is also slowly compressed.
Compressing the earth fire is actually quite a dangerous thing, the earth fire itself has a strong energy, but because the earth fire is very stable, it will not change when it is incorporated into the physical body in a normal state.
However, compressing the ground fire is transforming the structure of the ground fire, which will make the ground fire in an extremely unstable state, and its possible consequence is an explosion.
Even Li Mo, if he was hit by a ground fire explosion at close range, he would not be able to escape with his whole body.
However, no one uses the compressed ground fire as a weapon, and the reason is that it is difficult to control the time of the explosion of the compressed ground fire, and the slightest carelessness can hurt themselves.
At this time, Li Mo was taking a risk, but of course, this was much less than the pressure to compress the heavenly fire, if the heavenly fire exploded, the entire city could be razed to the ground.
As time passed, the earth fire continued to compress in Li Mo's hands, until it finally became a small fire needle.
When Li Mo spread out his hand, the fire needle was condensed in his palm, with a strong energy in his lightness.
After extreme compression, the earth fire evolved into the state of the fire needle, and its structure also underwent qualitative changes, so that it returned to the stable state, as if it had been cast into a vessel.
At this time, Li Mo's mind moved, and the fire needle slowly floated and landed in front of his eyebrows.
With the experience of chakra nails, the fire needle penetrated into the eyebrow chakra, and it didn't take much time for Li Mo to pierce the fire needle into the eyebrow chakra.
At this time, the fire needle and the chakra nail coexist in the small gap between the center of the eyebrow chakra, and because of their different natures, there is no conflict between the two, just as the earth fire is incorporated into itself and lives in peace with the true qi of the body.
The fire needle entered the eyebrow chakra, and with it a strong burning sensation, it was like the head was stuffed into a furnace, and it was so hot that even consciousness was a little blurred.
Li Mo's mind moved, and the thousand-year-old dragon yuan in his abdomen urged, and the water vapor rose and went straight to his brain.
Gradually, under the balance of water and vapor, the burning sensation of the eyebrow chakra decreased a lot, and at the same time, Li Mo noticed a surprising thing.
The penetration of the earth fire needle caused the second meridian of the eyebrow chakra to be slightly cleared.
"There's a door!"
Li Mo was overjoyed and clapped his hands.
Although it was only a little dredging, it seemed to open a door for him.
This also means that the constant use of earth fire through guΓ² can also achieve the purpose of opening up the second chakra.
It's just that judging from the consumption process, it takes at least dozens of earth fires to be able to completely open up. Moreover, what Li Mo used just now was not an ordinary earth fire, but a superb earth fire.
It takes dozens of top-grade earth fires to open up the second chakra, and this price is by no means small, it can be said that in terms of value, it is almost the same as consuming one earth fire.
But this finally provided another way for Li Mo's cultivation, so that he would not have to stagnate without obtaining the Heavenly Fire.
Of course, the first fire needle cannot be immediately inserted into the second one, and the power of the fire needle needs to be completely absorbed by the meridians.
The two major exercises have made progress, and Li Mo can't help but smile.
Xiao Hei was lying at the door, tilting his head to look at the master, his big eyes were puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the master was laughing there alone.
The Six-Eyed Condor stood on the table, looking around vigilantly, even though the room was only so large.
Stopping his cultivation, Li Mo entered the Mirror Realm.
Today, the land in the Mirror Realm has begun to take shape, and surrounded by three large mines, the valley is even more lush and remarkable.
And now there are more than three types of mining beasts and those brute beasts in it, Li Mo has been running all the way in the mountains and wilderness since he left the Nanhou Palace, and all the brute beasts he saw were thrown into it, and now the number of brute beasts in it is hundreds.
Li Mo also set up three mines, so that the mining beasts lived under the mines, and the mines were planted with plants, which became the dwelling places of other brute beasts, so that they would not all be crowded in the valley.
On the slope of a hill in the corner of the valley, the various spiritual objects that Li Mo had planted before were now growing luxuriantly.
As the master of the realm, Li Mo flashed with one thought after another, constantly teleporting, and appeared everywhere in the Mirror Realm.
And when he came to the side of the valley, he suddenly realized: the caterpillar had shed its shell!
Ever since he found out that the caterpillar was going to evolve, he sent it to the Mirror Realm.
When I came over this time, the golden shell had been split in half, and the middle was empty.
Li Mo's mind immediately flashed, and his perception spread out in an instant, bringing the land of thousands of miles into his perception.
In an instant, everything in heaven and earth was presented in the sea of consciousness, and Li Mo at this moment was the supreme power of this land.
Then he vanished in an instant, appearing in a corner of the Black Reef Mine.
On the edge of a big rock, a snow-white kitten was lying on its stomach, munching on ore.
As if sensing that someone had appeared, the kitten turned its head, and as soon as it saw Li Mo, it immediately stopped eating, half-squatted on the stone, and let out a loud "meow" sound.
Li Mo smiled, obviously the little thing recognized him.
He strode over, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the kitten jumped to the palm of his hand, tilted his head to look at Li Mo, and made a meow of flattery.
This little thing is the size of a house cat, but the hair on its whole body is so white that there is no trace of impurities, like a snowball, and the two eyes are golden, and it looks like a beautiful domestic cat.
There is no threat at all, there is no combat effectiveness at all, it seems that it will only be cute and obedient, and it has nothing to do with the ferocious brute beast.
But the glimmering light on its body means that this little thing is anything extraordinary.
"Such a big shell, actually gave birth to such a small thing, what is your origin?"
Li Mo looked at it carefully, and let him think that he was knowledgeable, but he couldn't judge the origin of the kitten.
"Meowβ"
The kitten didn't know if it understood it, but it just made a well-behaved sound.
"That's it, I'm afraid you don't even know it. Li Mo gently brushed its little head, and the feeling was like caressing the finest silk.
After a pause, he said: "Since you are snow-white and chubby and ball-shaped, I will call you Xueqiu." β
The kitten meowed a few more times, not knowing whether it was satisfied with the title.
Then, Li Mo appeared in the middle of the mirror.
As soon as Snowball came out, he immediately looked around curiously, and then jumped in front of Xiao Hei in a few steps, without even pausing, and jumped directly on Xiao Hei's back.
Xiao Hei opened his eyes and glanced at the snowball on his back, but he didn't mean to drive it away, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Snowball moved a few times, found a comfortable position, and quickly fell asleep.
Li Mo saw this situation clearly, and even concluded that this little thing had an extraordinary origin.
Xiao Hei had always been not interested in anything lower than his own cultivation, but it was not the slightest impatient when it looked at Snowball, but showed gentleness.
The room quieted down, and Li Mo took out the Dan furnace and began to refine the Dan.
He is a parallel path of all kinds, and he does not fall behind any of them, so his time is also very tight, and he often cultivates all night.
In this way, in the early morning of the second day, Li Mo left Sanjiang City with Su Sanye and twenty people all the way, and went all the way north.
Because the distance between Fang City and Fang City has always been very long, and it is extremely easy to be attacked by evil sects, Fang City generally does not establish a teleportation array, and it is necessary to travel through mountains and rivers to reach another Fang City.
In just three days, the group arrived at a valley where a small market called Biluo City was located.
It is the same size as Sanjiang City, but it seems to be much depressed, but the valley is full of green baskets, and the wind blows the leaves, and the scenery is beautiful.
The history of this small town is not very recent, it was founded only 300 years ago, and some small sects were born in the vicinity, but most of them eventually fell due to lack of resources.
I learned from Su Sanye that this Fang City was established by Yanhuangmen, and it was also guarded by officials from the outer gate, which was actually used as a post station halfway.
When they arrived at the entrance of the town, there was already a group of people waiting there, led by a sixty-year-old man with a goatee and a somewhat thin face.
Seeing Su Sanye and his entourage coming, the old man with the goatee hurriedly led the team over and respectfully bowed: "Lin Taiqiu, the steward of the outer gate, greets your lord." β
Su Sanye smiled slightly and said, "You and I are old acquaintances, Brother Taiqiu doesn't need to be polite." β
Lin Taiqiu straightened up and said to Su Sanye: "I heard that the third master came to deal with things, I was a little surprised, after all, this is just a trivial matter." β
Su Sanye said with a smile: "The old man is also lazy, come out to breathe." It's more depressed here than I imagined, is Brother Taiqiu still used to being here?"
Lin Taiqiu replied: "Although it is not as good as the sect in all aspects, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, but it is also suitable for enlightenment. β
With that, the group had already entered the town.
There were few people in the small city, and most of them were sect disciples stationed here, and they all saluted when they saw a group of people coming.
"Just go straight to the excavation site. Su Sanye said.
"Yes, that subordinate leads the way. Lin Taiqiu immediately replied.
Su Sanye turned his head and smiled at Li Mo, "Junior Brother Li is interested in going for a walk?"
As early as halfway through, Su Sanye explained to Li Mo the reason for going to Biluo City, because the construction site collapsed here during the fortifications to expand the city, and an ancient ruin was discovered.
If it was an ordinary ruin, it would definitely not alarm the officials of the inner gate of the Yanhuang Gate, so Su Sanye invited him in, but he felt that this old man really didn't treat him as an outsider.
