Chapter 87 The Name of the Nanling Sword Master
Under the dark night, two moons, blue and green, one round and one curved, hung in the sky.
Wearing a white Taoist robe, Lu Cheng stood amidst the rocks in the mountain shape with a slightly unreal body, watching the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu swallow the purple fruit bit by bit.
Nishang Fruit, after being swallowed by spiritual insect monsters, will mature rapidly, and its body will emit a kind of energy that humans cannot smell, but insects of the same species will be extremely excited when they smell it, and travel thousands of miles to harmonize with it. Strange taste.
It's like, the most wretched and unattractive ugly man in the class, after eating this fruit, his body can emit a kind of pheromone, which can attract the hottest or purest girl in the class. Fall in love with him.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng suddenly understood why the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu had to fight for the Nishang Fruit several times. If this thing was thrown into modern society, it would make countless people fight for it.
Lu Cheng originally wanted the Golden Silkworm Gu to cultivate immortality and evolve into a powerful demon insect, so he had been chanting Taoist and Immortal Sutras in its ears for several years.
But it was of no use. Golden Silkworm Gu had a stubborn personality and was difficult to change. This guy still stared at the colorful fruit and almost died several times.
Lu Cheng couldn't really defeat it, so he could only start to help it accumulate strength, capture powerful spiritual insects everywhere to increase its strength, and then look for opportunities to finally kill the two demon pythons, but it also cost all the spiritual insects to kill them. Poisonous Golden Silkworm Gu himself also suffered serious injuries.
But for Golden Silkworm Gu, as long as you get the colorful fruit, all the costs are worth it.
After waiting for two hours, the Golden Silkworm Gu has been building its own nest during this process. Lu Cheng himself is now in the state of Yuan Consciousness, and he can't do anything without the Golden Silkworm Gu's body.
At this moment, two rays of light, silver and gold, flew quickly from the distance in the horizon. Lu Cheng took a closer look and saw that they were actually golden silkworm Gu.
It seems that ancient alien species that are extremely rare in the outside world are relatively common in the world of Jiuli, not to mention being found everywhere.
Lucheng’s injured Golden Silkworm Gu was holding two Golden Silkworm Gus, one silver and one gold, on its left and right. It turned its head to look at its owner. Lu Cheng actually saw something in its eyes. Proud, but also nostalgic.
“It’s not too late to regret now. Once you enter the nest, you will have many blood heirs, but you will become the insect king and queen, and your body will change and you will never be able to leave the nest. Is it worth it?”< br>
"I have two girls, one is pure and the other is hot. It would be great to die. Are you telling me that it's not worth it? Thanks, hairless monkey. From now on, my descendants will need you to take care of me."
During the trance of being separated from the world of Jiuli, Lu Cheng seemed to be a little distracted, but in contrast, he seemed to see a blood-colored river spreading from the simple insect nest. The hundred-poison golden silkworm Gu that I cultivated Bloodline, as time goes by, will gradually spread in this world in the future:
“If the bloodline never dies, I will live forever.”
“The river of blood will never dry up, and I will never die. . ”
Inexplicably, Lu Cheng had a deeper understanding of a piece of text in the blood nerve. The magic power in his body moved according to his thoughts, accidentally activating several secret acupoints in his body, causing an extra line of five elements magic power. Gong route.
In the real world, Lu Cheng, who was on the Five Elements Dharma Stage, suddenly woke up. With a serious face, he quickly performed his skills and examined his body.
After a moment, Lu Cheng looked strange and made a gesture with his fingers together. On the index and middle fingers of his right hand, a wisp of blood-colored blood flame condensed out.
The blood god's magic is actually a beginner's entry.
And, unlike the mighty Five Elements Magic Power, this wisp of blood god's true breath is not controlled by the meridians at all. Instead, it runs with the blood. Of course, it can also run through the meridians of the human body, but in fact, human flesh and blood It can move freely between limbs and bones, as long as there is blood.
The strange and mysterious place is completely different from the techniques of various schools in the world.
"What a magical skill, so powerful! It actually allowed me to escape into the demonic path without even realizing it. If it hadn't been for the golden silkworm Gu incident that gave me some enlightenment, I wouldn't have even known that I had developed the blood god's magic power. Hahahahahaha, interesting. , interesting.”
After the initial surprise, an even stronger fighting spirit surged in Lu Cheng's heart:
Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless; fighting with the earth, the fun is endless; fighting with people, the fun is endless; The same is true for the battle between the supreme methods of magic.
“Innate promotion to qi training, because monks have insufficient monastic background, usually do not have their natal magical powers, but some people are born with special abilities, but they do have them. By practicing qi and advancing to foundation building, they can condense their natal magical powers.”
“Building foundation to promote Ningsha Realm, this realm does not have the three foundations of "heaven, earth and man" to cultivate the foundation, nor does it have the saying of "nine turns of the golden elixir, no regrets after the elixir is completed", but it will still condense the natal magical power, the quality of the natal magical power, and even reflect Show the overall quality of practice in this period.”
"Although the Blood Nerve is a demonic skill, I am not afraid of escaping into the demonic path. It's just that although I don't care about becoming a demonic cultivator, I can never be controlled by the demonic cultivator. I just use this skill to increase my cultivation base."
On the Five Elements Dharma Platform, while Lu Cheng was whispering and thinking, blood flashed in his eyes.
In the next few years, Lu Cheng did many things besides his own cultivation, the first of which was running Ishihara City.
He used various means to move a large number of people from surrounding towns and villages to this city. At the same time, he gave Huang Lao: light corvee and low tax, and establish hundreds of industries.
Huang Lao’s theory is to rule by doing nothing.
In fact, it is a small government and a big society, which has very good results in the early stages of social development when all kinds of industries are waiting to flourish.
The society is stable, all industries are prosperous, and the belief in Lord Chixin is naturally popular. Everyone believes that the peace and prosperity here are given by Lord Chi, so the incense of Chixin Temple is flourishing and its status is respected.
The rapid accumulation of divine power far exceeded Lu Cheng's mana improvement speed.
But this is what Lu Cheng wants.
The blood nerve is not a magic power?
I tend to do good deeds and bring peace to the world.
Under the blessing of the Red Heart Divine Law, it can indeed greatly suppress the movement of the blood god's true breath.
The Tao Demon God and the three method veins were forcibly integrated by Lu Cheng to check and balance each other.
The cause of this matter is indeed that I failed to restrain my greed and watched part of the blood nerves. However, if I can balance the Dharma and understand my mind and nature, I will indeed increase my infinite Tao Dharma foundation.
In addition, Lu Cheng went to the Evernight City Auction House several times to auction and compete for opportunities to obtain five Foundation Building Pills for brothers Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun to assist them. People have successively reached the realm of foundation building.
During the auction at Liujin Ancient Artifacts Workshop, a total of more than 89,000 spirit stones were spent to buy three Foundation Establishment Pills.
In the fight for opportunity incident, in order to compete for two foundation-building pills, Lu Cheng killed nearly a hundred people with his sword, and only then did he frighten all the evil cultivators and take away the pills.
Because of this incident, Lu Cheng gained the title of Lingxi Sword Demon. For a time, he was both criticized and praised.
Actually, with the qualifications and foundation of Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun, Chen Qingyun is just fine. Chen Qingfeng has a calm temperament and is quite talented in formations. He originally had the opportunity to impact the tunnel foundation.
But because of Master Fan's incident, his mind and body were damaged. If he didn't have the wisdom and courage to break through the cage, he could only settle for the next best thing.
Sometimes, giving up is also a kind of letting go. Chen Qingfeng let go by choosing to give up.
A few years later, Chen Qingfeng's fiancée Luo Peifang, who was married to her, traveled thousands of miles to find the Chixin Temple in southern Xinjiang. After confirming with Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun, Lucheng also welcomed her.
A few years later, this female cultivator relied on the cultivation resources provided by Chixin Temple to successfully break through to the realm of foundation building.
For a time, he was known as the Five Friends of Chixin Guan.
After Lu Cheng seized the treasure of the Book of Heaven, he himself became wealthy, not to mention practicing the Four Essentials of Dharma and Earth. With his wealth already sufficient, the increasingly prosperous Chixin Temple and Ishihara Castle needed more resources. Gao Xiu is in charge.
Even if Lu Cheng could sit in command, it would be extremely hard for him to work alone, so he would naturally give some benefits to cultivate close monks.
What's more, Xue Yuzhen has a mysterious origin and is now Lu Cheng's concubine.
Brothers Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun are half monks of the Huoyun Mansion, and even Luo Peifang has a family background.
Even if the friendship between them is not taken into account, there is no disadvantage in hiring these monks. The only difference is that Lu Cheng is generous and is more willing to provide resources for spiritual stones.
One day a few years later, an uninvited guest came to visit Chixin Temple.
Wearing a white gauze hanging bamboo hat and a light gray monk's robe, this female cultivator just stood there, giving people a feeling as if everything in the world has faded away.
On that day, the five people in Lucheng were playing flutes, singing, tasting tea, drinking wine, discussing Taoism, carefree and enjoying the beautiful time in the courtyard.
Her sudden appearance made the air in the courtyard seem to freeze for a moment.
"...Master."
Chen Qingyun was stunned for a moment and spoke slowly.
It is Fan Xiuhui and Fan Shenfu of Huoyun Mansion. A few years ago, monk Ningsha used the dragon's blood medicine to treat his disciple as an abandoned son. He lured away the monks from the Ghost Sect and stole the treasure himself.
The first time he saw Fan Xiuhui, Lu Cheng's reaction was to judge how far away Old Monster Youyun was from here.
After all, my uncle has a precedent. As long as he can divert trouble to the east, he will not care about dignity.
Just to show that it might be a little obvious, Fan Xiuhui glanced sideways, threw up her sleeves and said:
"Don't worry, Youyun was injured by me and several fellow Taoists, and it won't be a worry in a short time. Lu Cheng, prepare a clean room for me. I have something to say to you and Qingfeng Qingyun."
"Follow Master Uncle's decree."
Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun looked a little strange, but Lu Cheng responded as usual.
In Chixin Temple, there is a wing.
Fan Xiuhui sits at the top and goes straight to the topic:
"What I did back then was indeed against the relationship between master and disciple. Although I originally made other preparations,... the matter has come to this point, so it’s okay not to talk about it."
"What I said to you back then Teaching, you two have already paid for it with your lives. Speaking of which, I still owe you. These two Blood Dragon Pills are my compensation for you. From now on, our master-disciple friendship will never be in debt to each other."
"Master!"
Hearing this, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but take a step forward, but thinking about it, she didn't know what to say.
If this kind of thing happened between a demon master and a disciple, it would not be a problem at all, it would be just a routine operation, but Fan Xiuhui, Chen Qingfeng, and Chen Qingyun are not demon cultivators.
For the righteous monks, the master used his disciples to fend off the calamity in order to obtain treasures, which is indeed a sign that his affection has been exhausted.
Chen Qingyun's words of "Master" made Fan Xiuhui, who had already stood up and was about to walk out of the room, pause for a moment. She turned slightly to look at the two disciples who had trained her carefully for many years:
"...you guys , They are all good boys. They just practice Taoism... I got the Fortune Pill by chance in my early years, and it took me a hundred years of hard work to cultivate the way of heaven. Establishing the foundation, I know that the sky destroys people and uses time as a sword, which is irreversible. Today, our relationship as master and disciple has ended, so I will give you one last word: Everything is reversible, and time cannot be moved."
After saying this, the beautiful lady waved her sleeves, and like a wind-controlling fairy, she soared into the sky, as if she had cut off all ties.
"Senior, may I ask where my Xu Ying is at this time?"
Lu Cheng quickly came to the door of the room and asked in a loud voice.
Hearing this, the female crown turned around and replied calmly:
"Dongyang Orthodox Sect."
"Sure enough, my uncle is also upright."< br>
Lu Cheng is only a witness in this room, so he can watch it from beginning to end.
At the end, he only felt that Fan Xiuhui's explanation to Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun was not so much for them as it was for herself.
It is very similar to a legendary magic method: cutting off the common fate.
He Lan’s daughter Xu Ying was sent to practice Taoism in her early years because of her qualifications. She followed the path of Chen Qingyun. Now it seems that the sect is a first-class good sect, but I don’t know about He Lan and Xu Ying. Whether they can accept it or not.
"When did Uncle Fan get involved with the Dongyang Orthodox Sect?" Lu Cheng turned around and asked.
Chen Qingyun looked confused about this, while Chen Qingfeng looked like he was remembering something, but he was not very clear about it. Seeing this, Lu Cheng shook his head and asked no more questions.
"Forget it, let's keep this matter a secret for as long as it takes. It's better for Priest He to grow old with hope than to be frightened every day."
"Back then, I saw that Xu Yingdao had a strong heart and a good foundation, so I I told the Master after I returned, and the Master said she would arrange it..."
Chen Qingyun's connection is Fan Xiuhui's connection. It is obvious that Master Fan's relationship with the Demon Sect has not been established in a day or two.
“Master, these two Blood Dragon Pills are of great benefit to monk Ningsha in tempering his true form, but they are of no use to us brothers and sisters. Let's do it."
At this time, Chen Qingfeng stepped forward and delivered the two bottles of elixirs that Fan Xiuhui had just left.
This is the difference between Chen Qingfeng and Fan Xiuhui. If Fan Xiuhui obtains the Blood Dragon Pill in the foundation-building realm, and on the premise of ensuring her own safety, she would rather not have Lu Cheng as a friend, even if she leaves immediately, she still wants to keep it. Bao Dan, after all, the opportunity is hard to come across again.
As for Chen Qingfeng, instead of causing trouble by keeping the fourth-level elixir that he and his sister may not need for hundreds of years, it is better to leave it to Senior Brother Lu, who is extremely generous to himself and his sister. , leaving friendship and getting more support in cultivation resources is more meaningful.
“That’s fine, I’ll keep these two elixirs here for the time being. After you practice to the realm of Ningsha, I will either return the Blood Dragon Pill to you, or give you an elixir of equal value. , Kung Fu.”
One more bad thing happened, but life still has to go on.
Although Chixin Guan is somewhat powerful now, it is still far from qualified to seek people from the Dongyang Orthodox Sect. So, suck it up.
Time flies, and nearly ten years have passed.
At the age of twenty-nine, Lu Cheng obtained the Five Palaces Forging Elements to build the foundation of heaven and earth. At the age of thirty-three, he was promoted to the second level of foundation building. He took the Lu Xue family as his concubine and used her to absorb the pure Yin mana for the cauldron. At the age of thirty-five, he was promoted to the third level of foundation building. After nearly ten years, at the age of forty-five, his magic power broke through the early stage of foundation building and was promoted to the fourth level of foundation building.
At the same time, because of his continuous accumulation of personal fame, he was named the Nanling Sword Master by the monks from the Tongxuan Realm of Southern Xinjiang, replacing the original Lingxi Sword Demon.
This speed of mana cultivation, even in the top sects, is worthy of the words "brave and diligent".
But in fact, Lu Cheng has been distracted a lot in the past ten years. Most of his mind has not been used to cultivate magic power, but to balance the magic power, magic power, and five elements magic power in his body. In terms of conflict, although I was restrained, I also benefited a lot.
The innate realm is the foundation and needs no further mention.
The realm of Qi training is promoted to the realm of foundation building, and what is gained is spiritual consciousness, which can penetrate inside and outside and observe all directions. The biggest difference between Qi-training monks and Foundation-building monks is not their magic power, but their spiritual consciousness.
The foundation-building realm is promoted to Ningsha. The monk absorbs the true breath of heaven and earth and turns it into mana. The mana increases tenfold and a hundredfold, but this is the gain, not the point.
The key point is that monks in the Ningsha and Refining Gang realms must temper their true form after gaining such huge mana.
The so-called "true form" is the basis of a monk's immortal body. If it is perfectly tempered, it can break the laws of time and aging, stay green forever, and even achieve the goal of being undamaged, indestructible and immortal. situation.
A monk who can cultivate to the realm of Ningsha and Refining Gang, no matter how ambitious he is, must have considered which kind of golden elixir he will condense in the future.
But if you want to make alchemy, you must have a cauldron, and if you want to have a cauldron, you must temper the true form.
Using the powerful magic power of Earth Demon Tiangang, he is constantly refining his true form bit by bit. If he doesn't think it through carefully, it will be troublesome to rework it and re-refin it. This is the body of a monk. If it is damaged, it must be repaired before it can be re-refined.
As mentioned in the previous article, the two stages of Ningsha and Refining Gang can be achieved in five to ten years, but how many people in Tongxuan world are careful every step and it takes hundreds of years.
Not to mention those casual practitioners who don’t even have superior mental methods.
Therefore, Lu Cheng has benefited a lot, because although he has delayed the growth of his magic power in recent years, he has accumulated a lot of Taoist knowledge by referring to the blood nerves left by Lin Tianshu.
Especially for the mysteries of essence, blood, and the physical body, his knowledge has surpassed many casual cultivators in the realm of condensation and refining.
Of course, this is not all a good thing.
Because he knows too much, Lu Cheng sometimes looks down from the heights of Chixin Temple and stares at the prosperous Ishihara City, and from time to time the following thoughts pop up in his mind:
Kill them all. The essence and blood condensed by the blood sacrifices of everyone here have many miraculous uses and are of great benefit to practice.
"The Taoist senior who injured the hemorrhagic nerve, he definitely, definitely... has something wrong with his brain."
Gradually, Lu Cheng pressed both sides of his head with both hands, and blood began to flow from his pupils. Light, there is a greedy beast roaring in his body.
“Hoo, ho.”
After a long time, the impulse in Lu Cheng’s heart was suppressed, but Lu Cheng also noticed at the same time that his Taoist robe was soaked with sweat.
Using magic to temper one's Taoist heart is certainly a shortcut, but it is also a dangerous path. It is inherently inclined to the magical lineage.
