Chapter 87: Poison Turns Into Blood
Xiao Mian has been practicing the "Ten Thousand Poison Curse" for almost two years. In addition to skipping the first stage of introducing poison into the body, he has completed the two stages of transporting poison and quenching the veins and refining the poison and refining the marrow. Now he only needs the last stage. Then you can complete your merits - coagulate poison and turn blood!
The first step in practicing the "Ten Thousand Poison Curses" is to introduce poison into the body. The reason why Xiao Mian was able to avoid it was because he already had erysipelas in his body at that time. It was precisely because of the existence of these erysipelas that he had eight problems in Qi training. The level of cultivation can never be broken through.
Today, after going through the second and third stages, the erysipelas in Xiao Mian's body is still there. Although it has been transferred from the meridians to the flesh and blood, and the shape has also changed, it does exist in Xiao Mian. If they cannot be processed cleanly in the body, Xiao Mian's previous efforts can be said to be in vain.
To deal with those erysipelas, we must settle on this last step.
The so-called coagulation of poison into blood is to condense the essence from those erysipelas and turn it into a part of one's own blood, and then excrete the dregs of the erysipelas from the body. At this point, the "Ten Thousand Poison Curse" has completed a complete stage.
Until the second toxin is ingested into the body, a new round of practice begins. After that, every time a new toxin is ingested and refined, the power of the "Ten Thousand Poison Curses" will increase by one point.
If he could really refine 10,000 kinds of toxins into his body, it is estimated that Xiao Mian's physical strength would be unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
But the step of coagulating poison into blood is the most painful step.
The toxin essence is extremely pure, and its toxicity is hundreds of times more toxic than ordinary poisons. What Xiao Mian has to do is not to excrete it out of the body, but to integrate it into his own blood. As soon as the toxin essence is stained with blood, Xiao Mian almost feels pain. Faint to death!
Fortunately, Guitou had foresight and turned his soul thought into a needle, piercing Xiao Mian's soul. Xu Shiheibu also knew that Guitou had no ill intentions or that the soul needle had limited lethality, so he did not take the initiative to help Xiao Mian intercept it. Xiao Mian was stimulated by the soul needle and finally persisted.
After that, it was all water grinding.
Three months later, Xiao Mian completed the fourth stage of the "Ten Thousand Poison Curse" of coagulating poison and transforming blood into blood. This was much shorter than the one year expected by Guitou, and it was beyond Xiao Mian's own expectations. You must know that he originally The first two stages of cultivation took nearly a year. Afterwards, according to Guitou's analysis, it was probably because Xiao Mian's blood quality was inherently poisonous. In other words, Xiao Mian's practice of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" was really a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and it was the most painful and difficult for others. The fourth stage has become the shortest stage for him, but the pain has not been alleviated.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Mian's "Ten Thousand Poison Curses" is not complete, because Xiao Mian is only at the eighth level of Qi training, and four of the twelve meridians in his body have not been opened. The second step is to transport poison and temper the meridians. I haven't cultivated those four meridians, but there's nothing I can do about it. I can only find a way to remedy it later when the second toxin is refined.
Of course, this is just a slight flaw on the white jade, and it does not affect the overall situation.
After absorbing the essence of erysipelas into the blood and expelling the dregs from the body, it means that Xiao Mian's previous so-called bottleneck has disappeared. As long as Xiao Mian is willing, he can break through to the ninth level of Qi training, or even the tenth level of Qi training in a short time, because Although Xiao Mian has not meditated for a moment to practice the Taiqing Sutra in the past two years or so, his experience, mental tempering, and practice of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" have all been helpful in practicing the Taiqing Sutra. The so-called This is the truth that all dharma comes from the same origin and all paths lead to the same destination.
After just a moment's thought, Xiao Mian suppressed the idea of breaking through to the ninth level of Qi training. Calculating the time, he felt that it was time to implement his plan.
On this day, Xiao Mian called Xuan Lang and Ye Qingguo to him.
"Every banquet in the world must come to an end, Brother Xuan, Qing Guo'er, maybe it's time for us to separate!" As soon as he sat down, Xiao Mian said his thoughts straight to the point. Xuan Lang listened for a moment, but didn't say anything. However, Ye Qingguo was not happy anymore and protested with his mouth pouting: "Brother Xiao doesn't want Qing Guo'er anymore? But Qing Guo'er has been playing with Qing Jing these two days and hasn't given anything to his elder brother. Refining elixirs? Qing Guo'er is going to make elixirs now! Qing Guo'er said that he will refine many very good elixirs for Brother Xiao!"
Lots and lots of very good elixirs?
Xiao Mian and Xuan Lang couldn't help but laugh and cry when they heard this. Although Ye Qingguo was old, his heart was still very pure, and he couldn't bear to hurt anyone.
"Qingguo'er, it's not because of this! To be honest, although you have already established the foundation, what kind of elixir can you refine with your current strength? Those big brothers such as Qi Replenishing Pill and Qi Replenishing Pill used to eat too much Now even if you eat it, it won’t have much effect, it will just accumulate some erysipelas in the body.”
Seeing Ye Qingguo's expression dim when he said this, Xiao Mian winked at Xuanlang.
"Qing Guo'er, what your brother Xiao said is right! Alchemy can't be achieved behind closed doors. You have to go out and learn more advanced techniques! Only in this way can you help your brother Xiao in the future, what do you think? "
"But...but my grandfather's alchemy skills are already second to none in Lingchuanfang City. Although my alchemy skills are not as good as my grandfather's, I have inherited the alchemy skills of my Ye family. As long as I practice more, I can always surpass my grandfather." of!"
"Silly Qingguo'er, if you only focus on the small Lingchuan City, you won't be able to help your Brother Xiao! Your Brother Xiao has a big heart!" After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Mian who had no change of expression and said, Xuan Lang continued: "Come with me to Wan Zongyuan!"
"Wan Zongyuan? Wan Zongyuan, known as the holy land of casual cultivators?"
"Well! Among us casual cultivators, only those who have been to Wan Zongyuan are real casual cultivators!"
"But Qingguoer still needs to help big brother refine the silver thunder bomb!"
"Then there is no need for Qingguoer to help. You just need to leave some of the elixir in the Luanyin furnace. Big brother will need it in the future! Oh, and there are three portions of raw materials for refining the 'explosive flame pill'!"
Xiao Mian said this firmly, holding back Ye Qingguo's words and tears.
In the end, it was Xuanlang who smoothed things over and made Ye Qingguo agree to follow Xuanlang to Wanzongyuan.
After dealing with Ye Qingguo's problem, the next one was Qingjing's problem.
Catching the little guy, Xiao Mian threw the question to it and let it choose whether to stay or go. The little guy looked at Xiao Mian and then at Ye Qingguo, and finally licked the tears from the corners of Ye Qingguo's eyes and stayed with Xiao Mian.
"Brother Xuan, we will pass by Lingchuan Market on this trip. Please help me deliver this letter to Fu Qingqiong, the manager of Qianfu Hall. She is my senior sister, and you will know it when you see the letter!"
"Xuan Lang will definitely live up to your trust!"
Ye Qingguo cried again, left the elixir and materials, but finally followed Xuan Lang to leave. After replenishing supplies at Lingchuan Market, he turned west and headed straight to Wanzongyuan.
"With Brother Xuan taking care of me, I can be considered worthy of the old fox Ye's entrustment!"
Watching Ye Qingguo leave with a look back every three steps, Xiao Mian was also quite disappointed. He really regarded Ye Qingguo as his sister, but he himself was not sure of winning what happened next. If he won, he would go to Wanzongyuan to find Ye Qingguo. If he lost, then forget about it. It would be better for Ye Qingguo to be in Wanzongyuan, so as not to be implicated by him.
Retracting his thoughts, Xiao Mian reached out and rubbed Qing Jing's little head, and said with a smile: "You kid has some conscience, the feelings of looking for food together are still there!"
"Squeak!" The little guy showed an expression of "Of course", which made Xiao Mian laugh, and his sadness of parting also faded a lot.
From then on, Xiao Mian and Qing Jing were the only ones left on this vast grassland.
