Chapter 153: Yin and Yang of Bones and Blood
Chapter 153: Yin and Yang of Bones and Blood
Cheng Xinzhan landed on Honglu Island.
Honglu Island is covered with brown stones and yellow soil, with no vegetation except for a strange kind of green trees growing sparsely here and there, with leaves that are thick and fat, like palms, but covered with thorns.
The third sister was undoubtedly the happiest. She breathed in the sulfur gas, jumped in the air, and finally brought Cheng Xinzhan to a huge cave on the top of the mountain. The cave was like a well, and the sulfur gas rose like wolf smoke.
The third sister indicated that she would settle down here, and then she went into the yellow smoke to play.
Cheng Xinzhan looked around and picked the largest green palm tree - let's call it that. Then he chopped off a few huge rocks and simply stacked them into a stone house without a door, which he placed under the green palm tree.
Although he is no longer afraid of wind and sun, some things are ingrained in his bones - he always needs something to block out the elements before he can get used to it.
After performing wind magic in the stone house, he walked in and sat on the ground.
He closed his eyes and meditated.
This first hurdle, integrating into the overseas evil sect, should have been passed.
The location of Dadu Sea is very good. It is just offshore and adjacent to the Sea of Ten Thousand Corpses. It is on the east side of the Sea of Ten Thousand Corpses. There will definitely be frictions with the Sea of Ten Thousand Corpses in the future, so this is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Further east is the deeper sea, but it is still far away from the dojo of those fifth-level realm masters. To the north is the coast of Jinling and Qi and Lu, where there are basically no demonic forces, so if something really happens, you can run there.
The most crucial thing is that the master of Dadu Hai, the Big Belly Alligator King, is always sleeping and doesn't take care of things. As long as his subordinates offer blood and food on time, he basically lets his subordinates fight with each other.
This makes it convenient for Cheng Xinzhan, as he doesn't have to worry about being slapped to death by Sijing one day.
As for the fight between several leaders, this is exactly what Cheng Xinzhan wanted to see. Next, he would make this sea area even more chaotic.
Now that he has settled down, Cheng Xinzhan decided to take a short break and continue to concentrate on refining the White Bone Flying Sword.
His own flying bone sword.
Cheng Xinzhan had decided to impersonate a disciple of the Blood God Cult before he went out to sea. The Blood God Cult was a rising star and had few connections with other demon sects. Not many people knew about this cult in the inland, let alone overseas, so it would not be easy to reveal one's identity.
Moreover, Cheng Xinzhan had stayed in West Kunlun for half a year, so if anyone was to be found familiar with the Blood God Cult, he was indeed one of them.
Even his rhetoric to Huang Laoxian was not made up, but came from the words of a demon who died under his sword - that time, he just wanted to escape, but was caught and killed by Cheng Xinzhan.
He had been slaying demons in West Kunlun for half a year, and this was not just a game. The Blood Pearl Bone Sword was so powerful that he could not just turn a blind eye to it. Not only did he seize a lot of Blood Pearl Bone Swords, he also forced out the refining methods and sword scriptures.
The righteous general manager of the West Kunlun war was Jian Bingru of Emei, so Jian Bingru was also in charge of the command and logistics camp. At the beginning, he handed over all the blood bead bone swords he seized and exchanged them for other things. Later, he found that the loss outweighed the gain, so he kept the subsequent spoils for himself. He felt that this thing was indeed unique and wanted to study it privately.
Later, he did study it, and even had an idea that he thought was novel, but because he was too busy and had too many things to do, he always picked it up and put it down, intermittently. It was not until he decided to go to sea and wanted to conceal his identity that he revived this idea.
After careful study, he discovered that this blood bead and white bone had many special features.
First, blood and bones are separated but they complement each other.
This blood bead can turn into blood mist, and if other poisons are refined into it, it will become blood miasma, which becomes toxic. As time goes by, more poisons are refined in, and the toxicity becomes stronger and more turbid, but there will be no antidote later.
At the same time, after the blood miasma condenses into blood beads, it is also very hard and can attack blunt objects.
The flying bone sword is not in the five elements, neither water nor fire, neither earth nor wood, nor gold nor stone. It is not in the five elements, so it is not easy to be captured or seized, nor to be countered by Taoist magic weapons. It only seeks to be indestructible and unmatched.
If you look at the two separately, both are powerful treasures. In addition, the White Bone Flying Sword is usually kept in a blood bead, and the toxicity and vitality of the blood bead can be used to nourish the flying sword. The sword light and evil spirit of the flying sword can in turn enhance the toxicity of the blood miasma. When viewed together, they form a set of magic weapons.
Second, this blood and bones are taken from the sword master himself, so he can command them as easily as an arm, so he can keep them warm at all times, and so he can become sharper as his realm grows. This is actually something similar to the magic weapon of the demon clan, which is taken from the master himself.
The third one is that this treasure is the magic method of refining. No matter it is the blood miasma corroding people or the bone sword killing people, it can absorb the blood and bone marrow of the killed people and strengthen itself.
Fourthly, this treasure can be retracted into the body of the sword, and the essence absorbed from the outside world can be fed back into the body of the sword owner.
At the same time, also based on these special features, if this treasure is taken away by someone and re-refined, then the benefit of feeding back to the physical body will be lost.
In addition, since it is made of someone else's blood, there will always be a sense of sluggishness when using it. This is a flying sword magic weapon. If there is a sense of sluggishness, it doesn't need to be called a flying sword. When Li Yingqiong of Emei used "Taodu" and felt a sense of sluggishness, she couldn't even exert one tenth of the power of "Taodu".
Therefore, what Cheng Xinzhan wanted and wanted to do was not to use the seized Blood Pearl Bone Sword, he wanted to refine it himself, to extract its essence and remove its dross, and at the same time to find another way.
The Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi says that one must refine all the yin impurities in the body to become pure yang.
Cheng Xinzhan believed that the human body has both yin and yang, and neither is indispensable. So now, can he use the opportunity of extracting bones and blood to refine the sword to simultaneously peel off the yin in the flesh and integrate it into this magic weapon?
When the Blood Pearl Bone Sword remains in the body, as a part of the body, the Blood Pearl Bone Sword is the cathode, and the rest of the flesh and blood is the anode, and the flesh coexists with yin and yang. When the flying sword is sacrificed, the cathode leaves the body, and the flesh becomes pure yang.
This is Cheng Xinzhan’s brilliant idea, and it is a method that achieves multiple goals at one stroke.
After the body is pure Yang, the Yin soul is also easy to deal with. The Yin soul is not like bones and blood, which takes root and flows throughout the body. Although the Yin soul controls the whole body, it is concentrated in the Purple Palace. Now, as he has been practicing the "Secret Instructions of Changsheng Taiyuan Xianshen" for a long time, the seven souls are already full of spirituality. He thought that after opening up the Purple Palace in the future, he could conceive a Purple Palace magical power, or find a Purple Palace magic weapon to cover the breath of the seven souls, which should not be too difficult.
In this way, once you have achieved Pure Yang, you can practice the Pure Yang secret method in "Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi".
Another one, he used "Taodu" as the Yang sword, and nurtured and refined it in the Yang Palace of his left eye. He still lacked a Yin sword, so he took this opportunity to cultivate the bone sword into a Yin sword, thus completing the pure Yang of his physical body and the Yin and Yang of the flying sword.
He was not a hesitant and ambiguous person. He had had this idea for a long time. Infiltrating the overseas demon sect to conceal his identity was just an opportunity. After all, before this, he still had five five-element magic swords that had not been completely refined, so he had no time to do this.
Now that the opportunity had come, he did what he wanted.
Remove bones and blood.
There have always been different opinions on the yin and yang of human bones and blood.
Some people say that after a hundred years of death, only bones will be left in the dust, so bones have the meaning of immortality. Metal is yang in the Five Elements, so bones are yang. In addition, bones are hard and flesh is soft. From the perspective of hardness and softness, hardness is yang, so bones are yang. The medical book "Su Wen" also says: Bones are the palace of the extraordinary body, which contains bone marrow and relies on bone marrow for nourishment. The kidney governs bones and produces bone marrow. The kidney belongs to water in the Five Elements and yin in the Two Elements, so bones are yin.
The same is true for blood. From the perspective of qi and blood, qi is empty and blood is solid, so-called yang qi and yin blood. From the perspective of bone blood, bones are tangible and blood is intangible, so bones are yang and blood is yin. But from the perspective of essence and blood, heart blood is yang and kidney essence is yin.
These are not wrong. The so-called yin and yang are actually two natures of one thing. At some times it is positive and at other times it is negative.
Even if Cheng Xinzhan was asked to pick out a yin bone or a pool of yin blood from all the bones and blood in his body, he couldn't do it.
However, he had a trick. There was a secret method in the Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi, called "The Innocent Child Riding a Dragon and Chasing a Green Tiger." The so-called Innocent Child was the fetal light of the soul, the so-called Riding a Dragon was to control the pure Yang fire, and the Green Tiger was the Yin residue in the flesh.
This secret method uses the light of the soul and fetus to control the pure yang fire to travel throughout the body, sweeping through every inch, driving out the yin impurities in the bones and blood until they are all forced out of the body, achieving pure yang.
Cheng Xinzhan had never practiced this secret technique before, thinking it was too extreme, but if he didn't practice this technique, he wouldn't be able to practice many other secret techniques later. However, he could use it now, driving all the Yin residue in the bones to a certain bone, and then refining this bone into a Yin sword.
As for which bone to choose, he did not think too much about it and chose the lowest rib. Because he had already opened up the Jiang Palace, which could protect the internal organs and support the body, it would be harmless to borrow a rib from himself.
As for the Yin blood, it was even simpler. He forced all the Yin impurities in the blood to his right ear, then cut his ear, and he got a pool of thick purple-red Yin blood.
This material is ready.
At the same time, his physical body can also be called a pure Yangming body.
As for refining, it was even simpler for him. Those unknown disciples of the magic sect could do it, and he had been practicing alchemy in Baihu Mountain for so many years, and had refined five magic swords with Dean Jiang. It was his own flesh and blood, so there was no reason why he couldn't do it.
In fact, referring to the refining method he forced out of the Blood God Sect disciples, he spent five days on an island near the coast to refine his own Blood Pearl Bone Sword.
However, he did not refine the restriction of absorbing essence, blood and bone marrow after killing people. He believed that his own bones and blood were the best, and no matter how good others were, it would only make his own bones and blood mixed. And the more important reason was that killing people to refine weapons was a real devilish act, and he would never allow himself to do that.
As for refining poison into the blood to turn it into blood miasma to harm people, he retained this restriction, but not to use it to refine poison. He wanted to refine the Yin-attributed Gangsha into it to temper the Yin Sword. At the same time, it was also to improve the adaptability of his bones and blood to Gangsha and prepare for forming a pill.
But after all, it is his own flesh and blood, not an ordinary object, and Gangsha is the most violent spirit creature in the world, so he is very careful when refining the sword with Gangsha.
It cannot be compared with "Taodu", which is a sword left by an immortal and a supreme treasure, so he dared to use the "Yangming Yuntang Gang" to forge it directly. He was extremely cautious about the bones and blood that he had just taken. Even for the "Purple Fire Rotten Peach Evil" that had already passed through his flesh, he refined it into the blood beads bit by bit, and then used the blood beads to dye the Yin Sword, so he has not yet cultivated the sword evil.
However, refining a sword is fast but maintaining it is slow, and this is a slow and steady process, so he is not in a hurry at all.
He named his needle-shaped flying bone sword,
"The Deep City".
----
After three days of keeping the sword and feeding the evil spirit, someone came to the door.
"Hahahaha, Brother Bie Lu, are you used to living in Honglu Island?"
The voice came before the person arrived, and Cheng Xinzhan knew that Huang Yunying had arrived.
As soon as he thought about it, a drop of blood wrapped around the flying bone sword, spun around, shrank rapidly, and dripped into his right eye like water.
He stood up and walked out of the stone house. Seeing Huang Yunying parked outside Honglu Island, he frowned and said,
"Master Eagle, what's the matter?"
Huang Yunying was rejected immediately, but he didn't get angry. He scanned Honglu Island and found that there were no traces or changes here, except for a shabby stone house on the top of the mountain.
He is truly an ascetic!
He thought this in his heart and said,
"If there is nothing, I dare not disturb the other land. My boys have heard that Qing Laosi's whaling team has left the island and headed for the neighboring Jiao Country. They must have discovered a group of whales. We dare not let him succeed!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan asked, "What is the Jiao Kingdom?"
Huang Yunying replied,
"The Jiao Kingdom is also known as the Jiao Sea, which is located southwest of our Dadu Sea. That area of the sea is even larger than our Dadu Sea. Most of the mermaids in the entire East China Sea are there."
Cheng Xinzhan was somewhat puzzled.
"How dare Qing Laosi send people to hunt whales in other seas? Isn't he afraid that they won't be able to come back?"
"The Kingdom of Mermaids is so big. If no one sees them, we can just catch them. If someone sees them, we can catch them together with the people if we can beat them. If we can't beat them, we can just run away. If we can't run away, then there's nothing we can do."
Huang Yunying chuckled and continued,
"Qing Laosi has no other options now. He has to take a risky move. I heard that the crocodile king's snoring has gradually become quieter. It seems that he is about to wake up. In the past few years, his whaling team was in the limelight and offered a lot of blood food to the crocodile king, so he has become more and more domineering in recent years.
"But the whales in the sea are very smart. They spread the word to ten people, and then to a hundred people. No matter what is in the sky or in the sea, they all go around the Big Belly Sea. He can't find whales anywhere. The Alligator King will wake up soon. If he doesn't offer enough blood food, we will see how arrogant he can be."
Cheng Xinzhan understood, "So what does Master Ying or Master Xian want Lu to do?"
Huang Yunying said with a smile, "Master Xian wants Bie Lu to go on a trip. The request is not high. Just let them return empty-handed. When Bie Lu comes back, Master Xian will give him a reward."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded and asked, "Is there anyone in the third realm in Qing Laosi's whaling team?"
Huang Yunying laughed when he heard this, "Don't worry about land. The sea is different from the land. The fourth realm king only has the fifth realm great saint above him, and the third realm immortal master only has the fourth realm king above him. After surviving many deaths to become an immortal master, it is impossible for him to bow his head and call another third realm immortal master his immortal master."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded, "Then Lu should take over this task."
