The bones are broken, the internal organs are damaged, the muscles are torn, and the whole person is like a porcelain doll covered with cracks, which will break into pieces if you are not careful.
But even with such a serious injury, it took only five days to recover. When it was corroded by the water of the Forgotten River, its flesh and blood body had to lie in Qiandeng City for three or four months before it recovered.
"The order is wrong too." Chen Mu's face was solemn.
He did not hesitate to spend his limited white jade money to cultivate his magic power to restore his body. It should be that his real body should be repaired first, and then the real form of the demon should be restored.
But the opposite is true.
He didn't notice it at first, but now after careful observation, he suddenly found that the reason why his flesh and blood body recovered so quickly was entirely because of the true form of the Heavenly Demon.
From time to time, a barely detectable cool breath would seep out from the secret acupoint between his eyebrows, and it was this power that fed back and quickly repaired his body.
In comparison, the magic power he had cultivated with great effort, and the essence he had absorbed by capturing the soul and returning it to its original state, were more like icing on the cake, and it didn't matter whether they were there or not.
"Could it be that Tian Yao Yun Shen, this lousy demon, has some ability to come back to life and recover quickly?" Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"has a problem!"
“There is a big problem!”

Chapter 479 Precious Medicine
On the balcony on the third floor of the wooden building, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the couch.
He tried to summon the true form of the celestial demon, but failed. He could only vaguely feel its energy growing stronger and stronger. It was this strong energy that fed back to him that allowed his true body to recover quickly.
After feeling a vague breath coming from the secret point between his eyebrows again, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
Looking up at the many auxiliary soldiers busy building barracks in the distance, he felt a sense of enlightenment.
"Yes, this aura is probably from the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed!"
The demon spirit seed coexists with living beings, which can enhance the host's divine essence and gain experience in the secret techniques they practice. However, after the host dies, his life's insights and experiences will be collected and brought back by the spirit seed, turning into experience for Chen Mu's growth.
In order to find a resonance point for the Danshan Sutra, he had scattered a lot of spiritual seeds in the You Camp.
The Netherworld is already dangerous, and with the Blood God's son chasing after them, those auxiliary soldiers who escaped from the You Camp must have suffered heavy casualties.
The host died and the spirit seed returned, which enabled him to recover quickly from his injuries.
but……
"Experience and insights cannot heal injuries." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes: "There must be other things that have been collected into the spirit seed."
"Demon, demon, demon. It's really not that simple with the word 'demon' in it."
……
A few days later, beside the stone table in the courtyard.
"Are the methods of Qi Refiners so magical?" Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu, who was eating barbecue with great energy, with a look of surprise on his face.
He was half dead a few days ago and had difficulty moving, but now he is alive and kicking and eating like crazy?
"It's not a last gasp, is it?"
"roll!"
Chen Mu rolled his eyes but didn't explain further.
The matter of the demon spirit seed was a bit evil, so he thought it would be better not to let too many people know about it.
After the meal, the five ghost paper figures manipulated black smoke to clean up the mess. Chen Mu held the cup back to Yuan Tang, squinting at the many ghosts busy laying the foundation in the distance: "What do you think, with these five or six thousand auxiliary soldiers in Qiandeng City launching the Yellow Spring Ferry, what are the chances of returning to the underworld?"
"Do you still want to return to the mortal world through Fengdu?" Shen Yan understood.
Before, he didn’t understand why Chen Mu was so determined to return to the world of the living, but now he understood.
This guy is not dead at all, he is still a Qi Refiner. Of course he doesn't want to stay in the underworld.
"It can be done, but there may be considerable risks." Shen Yan shook his head.
"The Underworld is a world beyond the heavens, and there is an unknown distance of space between it and the underworld. Simply relying on blood sacrifice to activate the Yellow Springs Crossing is a crude method, and it is ultimately too dangerous."
Chen Mu was silent. Could it be that he would stay in the Netherworld like this?
For a moment, he felt a little panicky and felt like a kite with a broken string.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his impatience: "If these five or six thousand Yin spirits were stronger, would the risk be reduced?"
"Of course." Shen Yan nodded affirmatively.
"The Yellow Springs Ferry is activated through a blood sacrifice. The sacrifice provides inspiration and power, while the Yin spirit serves as the carrier."
"The stronger the Yin spirit is, the more stable and large the carrier is, the more spiritual energy it can carry, and the safer the transfer process will naturally be."
"Then practice!" Chen Mu stared at the ghost in the distance fiercely: "If you can't do it in one year, try two years. If you can't do it in two years, try five years. At worst, I'll just waste ten or twenty years."
"Once I train all of these guys into ghost soldiers, and five or six thousand of them are deployed at the same time, I think there will be no risk in Huangquan Ferry."
"That can indeed greatly reduce the risk." Shen Yan looked at the auxiliary soldiers not far away with sympathy. Being targeted by this Demon King, these evil spirits might have a difficult life in the future.
The many ghosts who were chatting and gossiping leisurely felt a chill on their necks at the same time, as if they were being stared at by some monster.
……
The Dark Demon Heaven was vast and boundless. Chen Mu did not have the specific coordinates and could not find the other camps in Jiugu City. If he wanted to return to the underworld, he could only rely on Huangquan Ferry.
In order to ensure safety, the strength of Qiandeng City's auxiliary troops must be improved first. This can only be done step by step and cannot be done all at once.
Chen Mu decided to slow down his pace and wait patiently for things to unfold. This way, he no longer felt impatient.
Thinking back to his previous worries, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Even if I can't go back to the underworld or the world of the living, it's actually not a big deal."
He could gather Jade Dew to satisfy his hunger, and he could also go to the Dark Demon Heaven to hunt monsters, so he had no worries about food and drink. Moreover, the existence of Thousand Lights City was enough to provide him with protection and safety.
Whether returning to the underworld or the world of the living, for him it was just a matter of gaining experience in a different place.
"It doesn't matter where you gain experience." Chen Mu shrugged.
"I can't go back to the mortal world. Without the spiritual energy of the earth, I can't continue to practice the secret method of the Qi Refiner, but this does not affect the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon True Form."
"Even if there is nothing I can do to practice the Heavenly Demon's True Form, I can still go find someone with some of the Dark Demon's Secret Techniques to try."
"Well... don't mention it, that blood nerve is quite exciting." Chen Mu thought happily.
After calming down, Chen Mu discussed with Shen Yan how to improve the strength of the auxiliary troops step by step, while he rested peacefully and waited for his body to recover completely.
The real body recovered very quickly, and in just half a month, it was back to peak condition. The mana was also replenished quickly without wasting any white jade money.
The Sky Demon's true form still made no movement. Apart from being able to sense its gradually growing vitality, it showed no response no matter how he called it. He could only wait patiently.
……
"If you want ordinary Yin spirits to awaken their supernatural powers and see the gods, there are actually two points." Shen Yan said: "One is to eat, and the other is to refine, and refine with fire."
"Whether it is the blue flame or the phosphorus fire, their purpose is to burn away the impurities of the evil spirits, remove the dross and retain the essence, and promote the manifestation of the innate magical powers."
"But this process will consume a lot of essence, so you need to eat to replenish your essence."
"Jade Dew?" Chen Mu suddenly realized.
He had previous experience in practicing the Flying Flame Sutra and knew that the jade dew contained a large amount of essence, which could quickly replenish the Yin Spirit's lost essence.
"I'm afraid it's not enough." Shen Yan shook his head in denial.
"Jade Dew is only suitable for ordinary Yin spirits to practice step by step."
"Jigu City has done statistics. It takes about fifty-three years for ordinary ghosts to see the gods and cultivate ghost patterns."
"Can you wait?" Shen Yan glanced at Chen Mu.
"It's not that I can't wait, I just don't think it's worth it." Chen Mu shrugged.
Although he was no longer in a hurry to return to the underworld, it was better to be faster than to waste time.
Shen Yan nodded calmly: "With the Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse, the fire refining step will not be a problem. You have to make precious medicine for them to quickly replenish their essence."
"Precious medicine? Those decoctions cooked by the medicine department?" Chen Mu became interested.
The reason why he was able to save his life before was because of the special decoctions and precious medicines from the Medicine Department.
It was a kind of unique elixir developed from the Wangchuan River, belonging to the Yin and Ming Dynasties. The Soul-Separation Soup used to pass on the secret method was actually a precious medicine.
"Qian Deng City lacks the necessary materials. Even with the help of the Yin spirits from the Medicine Department, they probably won't be able to provide them on a large scale." Shen Yan shook his head and pointed meaningfully at the wooden cup in Chen Mu's hand: "I'm talking about this precious medicine in your hand."
Huiyuan Soup?
Chen Mu was suddenly surprised.
Is this thing a precious medicine?
"The Cai Yuan Department has a secret method called the Three-Turn Cai Yuan Mantra, which can absorb the essence of the three treasures of monsters."
"After the essence is refined by the Medicine Stone Department, it can be converted into a precious medicine called Awakening Spirit Soup. That thing can replenish the essence of the Yin spirits and is a must-have medicine for the Yin Army Camp."
"It can repair the damage of Yin soldiers, and naturally make up for the essence lost by ordinary Yin spirit fire refining, thereby shortening its recovery time and speeding up the ghost pattern cultivation."
"And the decoction in your hand is very attractive even to me. It is obviously a precious medicine that is better than the Refreshing Soup."
"So..." Shen Yan raised his eyebrows.
Chen Mu was quite surprised by the liquid in the wooden cup.
Huiyuan Decoction is actually a very high-end precious medicine for Yin spirits? This was beyond Chen Mu's expectation.
He couldn't help but think of an experience he had on Jilong Road many years ago.
At that time, a senior brother named Liu worshipped the evil god and trained himself into a state very similar to that of a ghost. He showed an extremely urgent desire to devour Huiyuan Soup.
"Seven-turn Yuan-Feng Mantra..." Chen Mu couldn't help but look at a column on the gray wall.
This spell was derived from a cooking skill, and had always been used to help him strengthen his body and nourish his essence, replacing the essence pill to support the condensation of his spirit. Unexpectedly, it could now speed up the cultivation of his Yin spirit.
As he thought about it, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.
“So I still have to work on my cooking skills.”
"You never know when a surprise will pop up."
"Ha ha……"
