Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 18: Disadvantages of pills

Views:

Time slowly passed into the evening. Chen Lin put down the weapon-refining book and came to the rabbit cage. He found that the rabbit was still jumping around and there was nothing abnormal.

Now he finally felt relieved.

The taste of the elixir he refined was almost the same as the enlightenment elixir recorded in the book of the woman from Shuiyue Pavilion, except for the slight difference in appearance.

But now he didn't have time to do a more careful verification. No matter how the pill looked, as long as it was not poisonous, it would be fine.

"I made this with over 300 spirit stones. I hope you can use it!"

After making sure that the pill would not poison him, Chen Lin swallowed it in one gulp.

Spicy, sour and bitter.

Even if he swallowed it whole, Chen Lin's taste buds were severely damaged.

But soon, a mysterious feeling lingered in his mind, leaving him no time to think about the taste.

As this mysterious feeling emerged, Chen Lin felt that his thinking became unusually active. Many things that he had forgotten in the past were remembered one by one. He also became more organized when thinking about problems and was able to find the key points in the fastest time.

He was first puzzled, then overjoyed. He quickly took out the "Basic Spells Explained" and turned to the page on Exorcism.

This time he felt the difference immediately.

Previously, he thought he had studied this spell thoroughly, but when he looked at it again, he found that he had missed many hidden key points.

After understanding it again, he took out the Xiaoyao Sword and continued to comprehend it while trying it out.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Lin, who was practicing happily, suddenly trembled, and the mysterious feeling receded like the tide.

Then he screamed and fell to the ground, covering his head.

He rolled over and screamed for a long time before the splitting headache slowly dissipated.

"Is there something wrong with this pill?"

Tortured by the severe pain, Chen Lin couldn't help but doubt the reliability of the elixir.

But the mysterious feeling just now really exists and it does have the effect of increasing one’s understanding.

In just a quarter of an hour, he had basically learned the art of driving away objects and could use it skillfully.

As soon as he thought of it, the Xiaoyao Flying Sword floated in the air. Under the control of the object-driving technique, it was like a nimble little fish, and could be controlled at will.

It seems that the effect of the elixir is quite good.

If he were to use patience and perseverance to reach this level of skill in driving objects, it would probably take him at least several months, or even half a year.

But now it only took a quarter of an hour.

Of course, being so fast is also related to having practiced for a long time before.

But the effect is also exaggerated.

Although the effect was good, the side effects were also very obvious. The heart-wrenching headache was really unbearable for him.

"Forget it. As long as it doesn't hurt to death, I have to use it. If I learn a few more spells, my chances of survival will increase greatly."

As he muttered to himself, Chen Lin's eyes became firm.

Rather than the pain and torture, he was more afraid of the strange situation here.

After taking a look at the rabbit still jumping around in the cage, Chen Lin rested for a while and then started making talismans.

The next morning, he took the refined fireball talisman to the market. After selling the fireball talisman, he bought a batch of materials for refining enlightenment pills.

After returning, he started to make elixirs.

After a whole day of repeated refining, he finally obtained two pitch-black, spicy and pungent pills.

After cleaning the iron pot and the alchemy furnace, Chen Lin stared at the two pills for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth, picked up one and swallowed it.

With the spicy and sour taste, the mysterious feeling appears again.

He did not dare to delay and immediately began to comprehend the art of controlling the wind.

Sure enough, as his comprehension improved, he had a new understanding of this spell and felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and concentrated on understanding.

A quarter of an hour later.

"ah!"

The severe pain came and Chen Lin fell to the ground again, holding his head.

This time the pain lasted a little longer than last time, and the pain was much more severe.

After the severe pain, Chen Lin's face became a little ugly.

He never expected that the side effects of this pill would change and become more and more serious!

In this case, he didn't know how many times he could endure it. His previous idea of relying on this pill to cast all the spells he could buy was ruined.

What made him even more depressed was that the effect of this pill did not last long enough for him to master the wind-controlling technique.

Using his magic power, Chen Lin's body slowly floated up from the ground, but it only rose less than half a foot before it began to lose its power.

Not only that, while floating, he couldn't drive his body to move at all.

The current situation can only be described as a preliminary understanding, not even a small achievement, let alone a mastery.

"No, since it is a wind control technique, it should be done with the help of wind power, and should not be practiced indoors!"

Suddenly, Chen Lin thought of something, slapped his forehead, packed up, and pushed the door open to go out.

As the weather warms up, the ice and snow have gradually melted, and the number of monster attacks on the city has continued to decrease.

Even so, Chen Lin did not dare to go too far out of the city, but began to practice the Yue Yu Feng Shu in an uninhabited place on the edge of the shantytown.

Just as he expected, the effect of casting this spell in an open area was much better. There happened to be a slight breeze today, and with the help of the wind, he was able to make his body float about three feet up and move slowly with the wind.

This was very novel to him as he had never experienced floating in the air before, and he had a lot of fun for a while.

But after playing for a while he stopped.

Because even like this, it is still useless.

He didn't learn this spell for juggling, but for fighting and escaping, and the current effect is obviously not enough to achieve that.

Therefore, I have to continue to increase my understanding of this spell.

What's more, this is a flying spell. If you don't master it, you can't use it casually. It would be tragic if you fall down halfway through the flight.

After resting for a while, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, unplugged it, and poured out the remaining enlightenment pill.

It’s not enough to rely on your own understanding, you have to take medicine.

After checking his surroundings again and making sure there was no danger, he closed his eyes and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

Then, he began to practice with full concentration.

It was a little clumsy at first, but with more practice and deeper understanding of the spell, the floating height began to rise steadily and the movement speed in the air also began to increase.

At the end of the practice, he could even fly more than two meters off the ground, but he was still a little clumsy and could only fly in a straight line. His speed depended on the wind, and he was not as agile as a bird.

But this is already the limit of the Wind Control Technique. After all, it is just a low-level spell and we cannot expect too much.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Chen Lin hurried back to the ground.

After a while, he skillfully held his head and leaned against a big tree, twitching continuously.

This time the pain was even more intense, causing Chen Lin to dig his hands into the bark, causing blood to flow.

It took a long time to return to normal.

Chen Lin shook off his sweat-soaked clothes, was in a daze for a while, and prepared to return to his residence.

But the next moment, he became tense and his eyes narrowed as he looked not far away.

There was actually a person standing there!

"Old Yu?"

As soon as he put his hand on the hilt of the Xiaoyao Sword, Chen Lin cried out in surprise.

He knew this person. He was Yu Yuehai, an old man who lived in the same yard with him and rarely went out.

"Why are you here?"

Although they lived in the same courtyard, he didn't know this person very well and had little contact with him, so Chen Lin was still extremely vigilant.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed a man of great willpower. He can even endure such mental torture. I underestimated you before."

Old Yu forced a smile on his old face and kept looking at Chen Lin, which made Chen Lin feel a little creepy.

"What do you mean? What do you want to do? I advise you not to play tricks on me, or else don't blame me for being rude!"

Chen Lin's tone became stern, and without waiting for the other party to speak, the Xiaoyao Sword that he had been holding suddenly shot out and headed straight for the other party!

Having lived two lives, he knew very well that it was better to strike first than to gain the upper hand. Moreover, it was impossible for the other party to appear here at this time without any purpose, so he took action directly.

But he was not a ruthless person after all, and did not want to disregard other people's lives. The sword was aimed at the opponent's shoulder, not directly at the vital points. Even if he wrongly accused the opponent, there would be room for easing the situation.

But his expression changed immediately.

The other party just raised his hand lightly, and his flying sword was easily clamped between two fingers, making a buzzing sound.

"Tsk tsk, it's quite decisive, but unfortunately not ruthless enough, a woman's softness!"

The old man shook his wrist, and the flying sword broke into two pieces with a snap.
