Chapter 19: Pain

Xiao Ling looked at the black-green black toad beast essence blood in the jade bottle in front of him, his eyes were full of solemnity, even a small drop of the black toad beast's essence blood was enough to poison a monk at the peak of the qi gathering period, so Xiao Ling had to be cautious.

Xiao Ling summoned the Purple Fire Ant Queen and asked the Purple Fire Ant Queen to wrap the essence blood in the essence fire and burn it. The essence blood of the black toad beast must be burned with the fire of the essence element to remove the berserk factor inside before it can be used, and this step can only be done by the purple fire ants later.

The essence blood kept tumbling in the purple fire, and after only a moment's effort, it became as boiling as boiling water. And as the purple fire continued to burn, a trace of fiery red qi came out of the essence blood, and when these fiery red gases came out, a violent aura instantly filled the entire side hall.

Xiao Ling felt this violent aura, even if it was just a trace of entering his body, he would immediately turn into a murderous maniac, but fortunately, there was the burning of the Purple Fire Ant Queen's Essence Fire.

The fiery red furious qi continued to emerge, constantly burned into nothingness by the purple fire, and for two hours, there was no longer any violent qi coming out of the essence and blood. At this time, Xiao Ling asked the Purple Fire Ant Queen to strengthen the Essence Yuan Fire and continue to burn the essence blood, as if she didn't have the consciousness to stop at all.

After the meal, there was a low beast roar from the essence of blood, like a frog's roar, like a dog's roar. Then wisps of black qi emerged from the essence blood, and the black qi condensed into a somewhat illusory demon beast in the purple fire.

This monster looks like a toad, but it has a pair of fleshy wings on its back. Xiao Ling looked at the demon beast in the purple fire lightly, and the demon beast stared at Xiao Ling with some illusory eyes, but Xiao Ling didn't care about it, this was just a mutilated beast soul hidden in the essence blood of the black toad beast, with the purple fire ant queen, this beast soul could not become a climate.

However, what surprised Xiao Ling a little at the next moment was that the Purple Fire Ant Queen actually pounced on it and devoured the beast soul directly in one bite. Xiao Ling thought about it, before the demon beast gathered wisdom, many times it did things on instinct, since the purple fire ant queen devoured the beast soul of the demon beast, that is, the beast soul was beneficial to it or the purple fire ant queen and the black toad beast were natural enemies. However, it seems that the former is more likely to be, otherwise it will behave strangely before the essence blood is incinerated.

It seems that in the future, the purple fire ant queen can devour some more demon beast beasts, so maybe the purple fire ant queen's advancement will be faster, but as far as Xiao Ling is concerned, as long as it is a demon beast, he is not an opponent. Thinking of this, Xiao Ling had a firm thought in his heart, he must go further on the path of cultivation.

When the beast soul was devoured by the purple fire ant queen, the essence blood became calm in the purple fire, and the color became more profound. However, Xiao Ling could feel that there was quite a thick essence qi condensed in the essence blood, but these essence qi could not be directly absorbed, because this had been refined by the black toad beast, and if you wanted to absorb it, you had to refine it into some pills, but the essence blood of the black toad beast still contained poison, even alchemy was only available to those who practiced poison dao kung fu, and others were looking for death if they took it.

Xiao Ling put the essence blood into a jade bottle, poured a drop from it into the jade bowl, and examined it carefully.

The essence blood in the jade bowl is like a dark green jade, dripping in the jade bowl turning, like jade beads falling on the jade plate, from time to time there is a jingling sound.

At this time, Xiao Ling was completely naked, thinking about the meal, carefully recalling the body refining method several times, with a look of determination in his eyes, this is a test, it will be much easier after that, if he can't pass it, he may really die here.

Xiao Ling slowly stretched out a finger and gently touched the drop of essence blood in the jade bowl. And when Xiao Ling's fingers just touched the essence blood, a puff of white smoke came out of his fingers, and at the same time made a snorting sound, as if water was pouring hot oil.

"Whew!"

Xiao Ling couldn't help but scream, an indescribable heart-piercing pain penetrated into Xiao Ling's mind, and his consciousness was a little collapsed for a while. Xiao Ling couldn't help but shake his fingers, wanting to shake off the essence blood on his fingers, but the essence blood was like maggots on the tarsal bones, sticking to his fingers and constantly eroding upward.

However, this drop of essence blood seemed to have spirituality, and it kept moving up along Xiao Ling's fingers, and white smoke rose everywhere it passed. And Xiao Ling's somewhat suppressed snort kept coming out, and soon, Xiao Ling's entire right hand was crawled by the essence blood, and the essence blood continued to crawl up along the arm. The pain continued to extend, and the intense pain stimulation also continued to increase, and there was a kind of appearance beyond Xiao Ling's limit.

Xiao Ling's entire palm had turned the color of white jade, and the meridians were clearly visible. Through the white jade-like skin, you can see that the dark green gas is constantly seeping into the muscles and bones of the palm. Everywhere this green gas, there will be a trace of white gas coming out of the muscles and bones.

When the green gas seeps into the muscles and bones, there is a sharp pain like ten thousand ants eating away at the bones. At this time, Xiao Ling's roar was obviously a little irrepressible, and at this time, the essence blood had just reached the arm, if the essence blood traveled all over the body, such pain would probably make Xiao Ling's consciousness collapse.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!! it hurts!

There is only one word in Xiao Ling's consciousness now—pain, unspeakable pain. This is still Xiao Ling's previous marrow washing I Ching, otherwise, I am afraid that a finger being quenched by essence blood will make Xiao Ling's consciousness collapse.

Xiao Ling desperately suppressed the pain in his mind, and as the essence and blood continued to climb up his arm, the area of pain was also constantly expanding. Beads of sweat like beans kept rolling down Xiao Ling's forehead.

Xiao Ling's eyes had turned red, and there was a feeling of blood dripping. However, Xiao Ling was still stubbornly suppressing the pain that was constantly eroding away from his thoughts, and at this time, the essence blood had just walked through an arm, Xiao Ling already felt that he couldn't hold on, and his consciousness was already on the verge of collapse.

At this time, there was no white smoke coming out of the palm, but a tingling sensation came from the palm, this itching was like countless ants crawling on their muscles and bones, itching to the heart, Xiao Ling had the urge to cut his hands with a knife.

"The art of refining the body is really not done by people!"

This was a thought that suddenly popped up in the depths of Xiao Ling's heart, but as soon as this thought came out, it was crushed by pain and tingling......

The green tendons on Xiao Ling's palms were tense, and there seemed to be something beating in his skin, constantly bulging and calming, beating back and forth. However, Xiao Ling didn't have time to look at the changes in his palms at all, and his heart was full of pain and itching at this time.

An hour later, the essence blood began to spread to Xiao Ling's head, which is the most dangerous, and there are often many people who fail at this time, because the essence blood will even be tempered by the brain, if you can't keep your mind, the brain will be destroyed, and then there will be no vitality.

Xiao Ling stubbornly guarded his still clear thoughts, trying to think about things that had nothing to do with pain, although it was difficult, but Xiao Ling had to do it because he knew that this was the only chance he could endure this level, and he must persevere!

If the tempering brain persists, then it will be easier later, Xiao Ling desperately suppressed the consciousness that was about to collapse, and worked hard to keep his still somewhat clear consciousness away from the pain, and worked hard to expel the pain from his consciousness.

Slowly, the depths of Xiao Ling's consciousness became empty, as if there was another world, in which he was everything, he could dominate everything, and he could sense everything.

At this time, a trace of thought appeared in Xiao Ling's consciousness, everything was false, everything was an illusion. A pleasant feeling enveloped Xiao Ling's consciousness in an instant, and happiness instantly permeated Xiao Ling's entire consciousness, and the pain was insignificant.

The extreme pain produces a trace of pleasure, which is probably the opposite of things, and the pain can also become a source of happiness after adaptation. However, Xiao Ling knew that this was not a pure illusion, but a real existence.

At this time, if you look from the outside, you can see that above Xiao Ling's head, there is an illusory figure sitting cross-legged, the figure is a little like Xiao Ling, but there is no breath of life on the figure, only a strong power of thought comes out.

This somewhat illusory figure looks like it will dissipate at any moment, but it feels a little powerful, as if it can shake the heavens and the earth. At this time, Xiao Ling's face, hair, facial features and other places were covered with dark green essence blood, and traces of white smoke kept coming out, Xiao Ling's eyes were closed, but there was no roaring sound in his mouth.

Xiao Ling sat cross-legged like a corpse, if it weren't for the air flow coming in and out of his nostrils, he would really be no different from a dead person.

Xiao Ling's right palm has changed to its original appearance, it looks more delicate, and its skin has become more fine, with a faint metallic luster. The intuitive palm is much stronger than the original, and the sense of strength is also much greater.

Time passed little by little, the essence blood covered more places, and more and more skin changed to its original appearance, and the somewhat illusory figure above Xiao Ling's head was also thicker, and the power of the thoughts transmitted was also much greater.

One hour, two hours, three hours......

One day, two days, three days

For three whole days, the dark green essence blood on Xiao Ling's body disappeared, and Xiao Ling's body also returned to its original appearance, but it looked as if the skin had become a little whiter, and the skin was a lot more delicate, and there was a faint luster on the skin, and the luster was like gold and iron.

The figure above Xiao Ling's head opened his eyes, and a powerful power of thought spread out in the side hall, extending to the outside of the hall in a moment, and seeing Mei Jue with a nervous and anxious face, Xiao Ling was a little stunned, could it be that he had caused any movement by refining his body to let everyone know, otherwise, how could Mei Jue come to this side hall, and it could be seen that Mei Jue had been outside the hall for a few days, and even the things for forging the body had been moved. Xiao Ling felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Looking at his body, Xiao Ling was startled, and then looked at his somewhat illusory appearance, he couldn't help but be happy, he didn't expect that the power of his mind could actually be condensed and released, this is a bit incredible, could it be that it happened when he was empty? Xiao Ling was puzzled, so he had to give up, and submerged some illusory figures into his body, and the next moment Xiao Ling opened his eyes, and there was a fine light in his eyes.

Xiao Ling stood up, moved his limbs, and felt that his limbs were full of strength, these were far from being comparable to before, according to Xiao Ling's thoughts, the strength of his limbs now could be compared with some low-level demon beasts.

Xiao Ling looked inward, carefully inspected every part of the body, the muscles were more slender, the bones were from the original white, and now there was a faint yellow on them, and the bones had become much thinner, the internal organs and six organs had become much stronger than before, the meridians and blood vessels were a little thicker, and the faint metallic luster on the skin made Xiao Ling feel very powerful, according to Xiao Ling's thoughts, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the blade to cut through his skin, of course, Xiao Ling would not know what to do with the magic weapon, and he had not yet touched it. Although Qingling Ancestor gave Xiao Ling a piece, Xiao Ling didn't know how to use it and couldn't evaluate it.

It took half an hour for Xiao Ling to stop checking, his face showed satisfaction, although the pain of refining the body was unbearable, but once he endured it, the benefits were far beyond Xiao Ling's imagination.

In the past ten days of body refining, not only has the physical body been greatly strengthened, but the power of the mind has also been greatly enhanced, and now Xiao Ling can basically rely on the power of the mind to sense everything within a radius of more than 100 zhang, which is only possible to reach the peak of the forging body.

And Xiao Ling's harvest is not only this, at this time, Xiao Ling's body's absorption and refining speed of the Heaven and Earth Essence Yuan Qi is thirty percent faster, and this thirty percent is enough to throw away those geniuses in the Forging Body Hall far away.

Xiao Ling's biggest gain is that when he was the most refined blood quenching body, Xiao Ling inexplicably broke through to the third level of forging the body, it turned out that according to Xiao Ling's estimate, it would take at least more than a month to break through, but he didn't expect to break through now, which also strengthened Xiao Ling's dependence on the art of body refining.

Xiao Ling cleaned up his mood, a trace of warmth welled up in his heart, and with a look of guilt on his face, he opened the door of the side hall and walked out!
