Chapter 306: Years of Daoxing, an unexpected surprise
Chapter 306: Thousand Years of Practice, Unexpected Surprise
The two of them acted out the scene for a long time, fighting each other for two hours. Both of them were covered with wounds. It was called acting, but it also had a bit of a real feel to it.
Bai Yuxuan was willing to teach, and used all her skills to display the essence of the dragon fighting method, and also demonstrated the way of gold, water and sound attack. Cheng Xinzhan was also willing to learn, so although it was just acting, he also gained a lot.
It was not easy to fight a dragon, especially one that had been washed five times. Cheng Xinzhan's magic power was rapidly depleted. Before he became exhausted, he said,
"Mr. Bai, I am offended."
Cheng Xinzhan said, while making sword gestures to destroy the dragon's body.
"Master, please take action."
Bai Yuxuan said.
"Clouds lock up the thousand peaks!"
The Nether City once again turned into a violent storm, and thousands of sword threads filled every corner of the prison world.
With Bai Yuxuan's intentional cooperation, his body quickly disappeared like a kite hit by rain, and his blood soaked the clouds and rain, turning into a dazzling red glow.
In a hazy state, Cheng Xinzhan waved his sleeves and hit the old soul whose golden light was no longer too dazzling. It seemed that it was broken up by the sleeves, but in fact it was absorbed into the Tai Shang Tian Du Lu which was secretly clasped in Cheng Xinzhan's palm.
He flipped his hand, and the treasure scroll entered the inner world and came to the purple palace, hiding behind the "Xuan Ji Wu Leakage Talisman". Cheng Xinzhan had already made preparations here. There was a cloud and mist, and wind birds were circling around the palace.
Cheng Xinzhan summoned the magic fire and spread it out, and the entire virtual world turned into a sea of fire. In the sea of fire, Cheng Xinzhan had a thought, and all the blood, scales, bones, and various magic weapons and spiritual materials that fell out of Bai Yuxuan's acupoints were gathered into a ball and stored in the Dragon Scale Acupoint.
As long as these things are still there, it will not be difficult for Bai Yuxuan to recreate a spirit body. Even if she does not want to create a spirit body again, leaving it to her descendants, such as Yuhua Xiaoqiu, is also a very suitable treasure.
Next, there was only the Qiu Pearl. Cheng Xinzhan had no good way to take this five-washed Qiu Pearl out intact without being discovered by the magic mirror. At this time, the Qiu body had been destroyed, and the precious light on the Qiu Pearl was dim, but Cheng Xinzhan could see clearly that the Xuanmen restriction on it was still shining. This could only be solved by the prison.
The three treasures of the Nascent Soul, the Golden Elixir, and the Primordial Spirit are the concrete manifestations of the practitioner's essence, energy, and spirit, and carry a unique aura. No one dares to put their own three treasures into someone else's body, whether dead or alive. Similarly, no one dares to take someone else's three treasures into their own body.
As for Bai Yuxuan's soul, Cheng Xinzhan still has a "Taishang Tiandu Lu" to isolate it and hide it in the acupoint, but as for this Qiuzhu, Cheng Xinzhan really has nothing suitable to store it.
The cave stone on his body was given by the Jiang family of Poyang Lake. Although it is rare, it is not a treasure of extremely high grade. In such a small virtual world, Cheng Xinzhan is not sure that he can avoid the exposure of the magic mirror.
Of course, there is no problem for this time. There is no need to hide it with the cave stone. You can just take it out and walk out. You can directly ask the prison to release you. The reason is easy to find. The five-washed Qiuzhu is more precious than the golden elixir of the demons in the lower level. It is reasonable not to burn it and keep it on your body.
But the problem is that if the five-washed Qiu Pearl is left behind, then after sending Uncle Gu away, it will be easy to arouse other people's suspicion if the seven-washed Chi Pearl cannot be produced.
Cheng Xinzhan can't take this risk.
Cheng Xinzhan didn't tell Bai Yuxuan the key points here in detail, and didn't mention a word about saving Gu Yi, but Bai Yuxuan should have noticed Cheng Xinzhan's difficulty in speaking. After he suggested that only the soul could be taken, she didn't mention taking the Qiuzhu out.
At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan began to prepare to calcine the Qiu Pearl.
However, at this moment, the white and shiny Qiuzhu suddenly changed. As soon as Cheng Xinzhan set fire, the Qiuzhu disintegrated into a ball of essence, like a ball of wind and snow, rushing towards Cheng Xinzhan's Huangting Palace.
At the same time, a divine thought came out from the Supreme Heavenly Capital Scroll:
"Master, my Yuzhi Xiaoqiu clan is one of the five categories of "Panli Qiu Jinchi". Although we are not as good as Qingyang and Ziyang, we are also descendants of Bailong. I have passed the Five Baptisms. This Qiuzhu contains my thousand years of Taoism. It would be a pity if it were destroyed. Since I have received your great kindness, I will give it to you.
"Master, don't worry. I just exchanged blows with you and I can see that you have the power of a dragon and you have practiced the five elements. It will be no problem for you to accept my power. I have already wiped off the aura on the Qi Pearl. Now only the pure dragon-type gold magic power is left."
"this!"
Cheng Xinzhan didn't know how to respond, and he hadn't mentioned this at the beginning. But seeing the energy containing the thousand-year-old practice of the Qionglong coming, Cheng Xinzhan couldn't refuse it. He couldn't give way or disperse it, so he just endured it quietly.
The essence poured into Cheng Xinzhan's abdomen and seeped into the Huangting Palace. In the inner world, it was as if snow had fallen in the Huangting Palace.
Cheng Xinzhan didn't even need to refine it deliberately. The golden elixir in Huangting moved on its own when it saw the snow, just like a glutton seeing a rice warehouse. The speed at which the golden elixir and the Xuanpin Pearl swirled around each other suddenly increased. The Tai Chi diagram was like a whirlpool, quickly sweeping up the wind and snow.
The Xuanpin Pearl did not compete with the Golden Pill, and all of Bai Yuxuan's thousand years of cultivation went into the Golden Pill's stomach. Then, changes occurred:
Cheng Xinzhan fought all the way from the second floor to the sixth floor, killed four demons, and staged a big drama with Bai Yuxuan. Most of his magic power was lost. He had thought that he would recuperate well when he went out to the seventh floor this time.
However, at this moment, after absorbing the thousand-year-old practice of Qionglong, Cheng Xinzhan felt that his mana was replenished again in an instant. Not only that, he felt that the meridians in his body were widened a little, and the mana flowed more smoothly. The golden pill was even more full, and the whole pill was shrunk, but the mana capacity was greatly increased.
As expected of Qionglong’s thousand-year-old cultivation!
This is truly a generous gift - it can only be a gift. Cheng Xinzhan has refined many golden elixirs, but he could only refine the innate Gangsha from the golden elixirs. Things like magic power will dissipate in the process of refining and return to the world.
And just as he was sighing, something changed again:
The calamity clouds surrounding the golden elixir are approaching the golden elixir again!
Cheng Xinzhan's heart skipped a beat and even his breathing slowed down.
"Master Bai, your practice has been integrated into the golden elixir. Can it also bring forward the golden elixir tribulation?"
He directly transmitted a divine thought into the Tai Shang Tian Du Lu.
Bai Yuxuan was also stunned when she heard this, and then said in an apologetic tone,
"Did it backfire?"
"No, no, it's a good thing. This is a great opportunity for me. I'm just curious, why can my golden elixir receive your practice and bring forward the golden elixir tribulation?"
Bai Yuxuan thought for a while and said,
"I don't know that either, because the dragon balls—what you call golden elixirs—don't age overnight. As their life span draws to a close, the magic power in the golden elixir slowly dissipates. There aren't many people in the clan like me who gave away their Taoism before their life span is up, so there are no written records of them."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded. Generally speaking, things like passing on one's Taoism depend more on luck. As the saying goes, "When you are at the end of your rope, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village." No one would be willing to give away their Taoism until the last moment, when the golden elixir will naturally disintegrate. What if someone brings a longevity elixir at the last moment?
The act of giving away one's spiritual power would usually only occur before one was seriously injured and died. If a disciple of the direct lineage happened to be present, some people who did not care much about life and death might make such a choice.
The reason why I say that maybe it is because I don't care about life and death is the same as the reason why life ends. People always think this way. What if someone finds a precious medicine that can revive the dead? It is difficult for ordinary people to make such a decision. In addition, Taoism is not something that can be given away at will. The magic power of demons is definitely not the same as that of humans. It is impossible for those who practice fire to pass their magic power to those who practice water. There must be no conflict, so it is generally only passed on to disciples of the direct lineage.
The fact that Bai Yuxuan gave Cheng Xinzhan the Qiulong Daoxing was a little special, because Cheng Xinzhan not only had dragon blood, but also practiced the five elements, so there was really no hidden danger.
At this time, Bai Yuxuan continued to say,
"That makes sense. Our Yuzhi Xiaoqiu clan is originally the descendant of the white dragon. We cultivate the metal element and nurture the metal nature. Xun Lanyin wants to take the Qiu beads from our clan and grind them into powder to maintain her beauty. The reason why it can maintain her beauty is that the metal nature is at work.
"Your golden elixir has absorbed my spiritual power and supplemented my gold nature, which has brought forward the golden elixir tribulation. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded when he heard this. This explanation was somewhat similar to the effect of the Xuanpin Pearl, except that one was a long-term continuous stimulation, while the other was a short-term and significant supplement.
"Thank you very much for your generous gift, I feel ashamed to accept it."
At this time, after hearing Cheng Xinzhan's thanks, Bai Yuxuan said,
"Master, there is no need to be so. To be honest, I have something else to ask of you. No, two things."
Cheng Xinzhan said without hesitation,
"Please tell me."
Bai Yuxuan said,
"After fighting with the Taoist priest, I knew that Shi Ding was not an ordinary individual. Moreover, the Taoist priest was not worried but happy when he heard that the cleansing of the golden pill tribulation had come earlier. This is the demeanor of a great sect. So I would like to ask the Taoist priest to take me to Shennongjia after we leave the tower, pick up my little grandson Yuhua, and bring him back to your great sect for upbringing. The second thing is that the Taoist priest of my clan can nourish the golden pill. Please do not spread the news. Thank you!"
Cheng Xinzhan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After returning to the clan, he would recommend his third sister to Danxia Mountain anyway, so it wouldn't matter if he recommended another one to Baihu Mountain. If she was not suitable, he could just put her in Wanshou Garden for care. As for the matter of the nourishing golden elixir, she didn't need to mention it, and keeping it secret was a matter of course.
After hearing this, Bai Yuxuan thanked him repeatedly.
After the matter was settled, Cheng Xinzhan put away the flames and mist and rang the bell.
The jailer came in and first saw the wounds all over Cheng Xinzhan's body. He asked,
"Daoyou, are you okay?"
Cheng Xinzhan shook his head.
"No problem, it's just that this thorn is really annoying."
The prison warden smiled when he heard this, and nodded when he recalled the time when he captured Qionglong. He also saw that there was nothing in the prison virtual world except Cheng Xinzhan and his mount, so he secretly admired it and asked to check the golden elixir as usual.
Cheng Xinzhan continued to use the old rhetoric.
“It’s all burned up.”
Although the jailer had expected this, he still asked in surprise,
"This time it's the Qiu Pearl, which can be used as a guide for refining pills and as a material for refining weapons. It's a very practical treasure."
Cheng Xinzhan used the same words and explained it again.
"My magic fire is special. No matter what I burn, I can extract the spiritual power inside and increase the power of the magic fire." The prison warden had heard about this before, so he stopped worrying and bowed, asking Cheng Xinzhan to wait for a while. He then went to burn the talisman to illuminate the ghost. After checking that everything was correct, he stretched out his arms and said,
"It has been verified, fellow Taoist, please."
So Cheng Xinzhan walked out of the virtual world.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
The magic mirror didn't shine upon him, and no one came to cause trouble for him.
It seemed that he had gotten away with it, and Cheng Xinzhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the prisoner had completed the battle record and opened the barrier leading to the next level.
"Master, please."
"Good work."
Cheng Xinzhan bowed and flew up.
----
On the seventh floor, inside a spiritual hut, spiritual energy is thick.
Although Cheng Xinzhan had plenty of magic power, he had killed five demons in a row, each one stronger than the last. It would be too suspicious if he didn't take a break.
Taking advantage of this time, he began to refine the newly acquired evil spirits. At the same time, he took out a conch.
This is the conch shell sent by Huang Hailongjun, which can be used to contact him directly.
Cheng Xinzhan put the conch to his lips and whispered a few words.
----
"Master Yun is coming out!"
The prisoner on the seventh floor said.
"It's only been half a day and he's already rested?"
someone asked.
"Yes, he has gone to the eighth floor!"
said the man.
"I saw him."
A prisoner on the eighth floor took over the conversation.
"Which demon did he go to find?"
Someone asked immediately.
"He hasn't decided yet. He seems a little hesitant."
The jailer said.
"Yes, we should think carefully. We have already reached the eighth floor. Most of them are demons who have undergone five or even six cleanses. They were all powerful figures before entering the tower. We should be careful."
Some people say so.
"Yes."
"rational."
Everyone agreed.
"Hey, he seems to be waving at me. Hey, he really is calling me, I'll go over and take a look!"
The prisoner on the eighth floor suddenly said.
"Don't close the divination! Let's listen, and everyone please keep quiet."
"Yes, don't turn it off!"
"..."
----
Demon Locking Tower, eighth floor.
Cheng Xinzhan looked at the nearby prisoner and bowed with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist, you are polite."
The jailer smiled and returned the greeting.
"Master Yun, I am honored."
Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this person would recognize him. That would make it easier for him to talk. Before entering the tower, Yu Nanlin told him that the prison guards in the tower were all on duty by the younger generation of Xuanmen disciples. Most of them were easy to talk to. If he had any questions, he could just ask directly.
So he said,
"Fellow Daoist, may I bother you to ask, who is imprisoned in cell number 34?"
In the album given by Yu Nanlin, the introduction to the demon in cell No. 34 was very brief, and there was no portrait. There were only a few words written on it:
"The nameless corpse lady, who was washed four times for humans and five times for corpses, massacred a village at the border of Shizhou and Jingchu to recover her vitality after overcoming the calamity, and absorbed the essence of a hundred people. In the 448th year of the Ming Dynasty, she was captured by Hu Yanjun and put into the tower."
In this Demon Locking Tower, the prison guards on each floor are aware of the demons imprisoned on that floor, so that even if a demon escapes, they can be prepared in time.
The jailer listened, thought for a moment, and said,
“I remember that this person was very tight-lipped, and looked as if he was going to kill me or cut me to pieces. He refused to reveal who he was. He had just survived the fourth thunderstorm, but his corpse puppet had already reached the fifth thunderstorm, and was very evil.
"This corpse woman was captured at the border of Jingchu. I think she is either a remnant of Tianjiao Mountain or a demon from Beimang Mountain. Moreover, her realm is not low, and her corpse puppet's realm is so high, so if she enters this cell, it is equivalent to fighting two alone. Moreover, those who refine corpses are all low-class people, especially the monster corpse puppets like the one she refines. Killing them will not bring any benefits, so no one has entered since she was imprisoned here."
"Then, fellow Taoist, do you know what her monster corpse puppet looks like?"
The jailer seemed to be very impressed and said,
"A female corpse with nine dead babies in her belly. It's disgusting to watch."
Cheng Xinzhan secretly said, "As expected, when the corpse cave was opened in Tianshao Mountain, the five temple masters present all took out a button seal as the key to open the door. The seal button of each temple is the inherited evil corpse of this temple. The seal button taken out by the earth temple at that time was the Nine Infants Corpse Mother!
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, I will go into this room."
Listen closely to the news,
"Master Yun, didn't you hear what I said just now? If we go in here, we'll be fighting two people at once, and there won't be much profit. It's a thankless task!"
Cheng Xinzhan smiled.
"If such a filthy and evil corpse is left in the world, wouldn't it pollute the world and make people disgusted? My magic fire has been drinking the blood of demons all the way. It is extremely strong and masculine. It is used to burn such ugly things. If there is one, I will burn one. If there are two, I will burn a pair!"
"Good! What a courage!"
A cheer came from the jigsaw in the jailer's hand.
Cheng Xinzhan was a little confused and went to look in the direction of the sound.
The jailer quickly sealed the divination sticks and said to Cheng Xinzhan,
"Master Yun is indeed very magnanimous. Please come in, please come in."
Cheng Xinzhan didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the divination sticks curiously and then entered the prison virtual world.
