I’m Not An Immortal

Chapter 50: Body of iron and gold

Views:

The quiet room is not cold, but rather like a furnace.

Bubbles kept rising from the boiling water in the cauldron. When Jianchou put himself down, he immediately felt that he was about to be cooked.

It’s too hot, and it becomes an unspeakable pain!

Almost at the moment he entered, Jianchou's entire skin turned red and the color immediately darkened.

However, the water in the cauldron had been boiled with spiritual herbs and elixirs, and it contained restorative spiritual energy. Almost at the moment when her skin was scalded red, the spiritual energy flowed into her body through the pores and flowed around her body, like thin silver needles piercing her body.

Along with the severe pain comes an indescribable itching.

Like a thousand ants gnawing at my heart...

At that moment, Jianchou really had the urge to bang his head against the huge bronze tripod and die!

Mr. Fudaoshan never lied to me!

The method of body refining is so cruel!

Cooking yourself is such a cruel thing. I guess no one in the entire Yashan is willing to try it

only…

Jianchou kept thinking, no one will die anyway...

The consequence of having wild thoughts is that at this time, life is worse than death!

Except for the bones of the body which are protected by spiritual power, the rest of the body has to be boiled in this pot of potion, and will be continuously boiled and then repaired by the potion.

The sweat on Jianchou's forehead just appeared, but was immediately evaporated by the high temperature.

Her mind was in a mess, and she even wondered who invented this method in the first place

Nanhai Zen

Absolutely crazy!

She almost smelled her own flesh...

The cooked meat was basically dead meat, so it automatically dissolved into the potion.

The flesh and blood of the heart grew at a visible speed and quickly absorbed the medicinal power of the potion...

Although the pain was excruciating, Chou could clearly feel that the new flesh and blood was indeed tougher than before.

This thought gave her some comfort.

However, the next moment, this comfort was broken by the severe pain that came again.

Destruction before construction.

All the flesh and blood except the bones must go through a process of being almost cooked and then immediately regenerated and cooked again.

This method of body refining is indeed horrifying.

I heard that there were also monks who were boiled to death in the cauldron.

I hope that I won't be the next one.

In order to resist such high temperatures, the monk's body will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. When the flesh and blood are regenerated, it will begin to temper the body and continuously improve its flexibility.

The first time, he used a portion of his spiritual power to refine his body, but found that his body was still destroyed by the high temperature.

Therefore, when tempering the flesh and blood for the second time, the cultivator's body will automatically increase the output of spiritual power. This output and the growth of flesh and blood are carried out simultaneously. It has the same effect as the cultivator using spiritual energy to temper the body and remove impurities after the flesh and blood are formed, but it is much more effective than tempering after birth.

The reborn flesh and blood is tempered by spiritual power from birth, has a stronger affinity to spiritual power, and is naturally flexible.

The medicinal power in the surrounding potions constantly assists this rebirth.

Destruction is painful, but rebirth is extremely joyful.

The fighting plate under Jianchou's feet suddenly began to spin wildly.

Under this unique method of body refining, the body's consumption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reaches an almost terrifying number.

The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously gathered by the spirit gathering array, turning into a ray of white light, pouring in from between Jianchou's brows and madly drilling into every part of her body.

I don’t know how many hours have passed.

The spiritual energy in the spirit stones used to build the fire-gathering array has been almost consumed by half; the dark potions around Jianchou have also turned light black.

She closed her eyes tightly, still enduring the pain.

However…

About to become numb.

Or perhaps, her new flesh and blood has become accustomed to such high temperatures.

Each time he condensed himself, in addition to the boundless pain, Jianchou also felt something a little different.

For example, every time new flesh and blood grew, she would feel that the temperature in the giant cauldron dropped a little...

In fact, the temperature of the giant cauldron has never dropped.

But Jianchou's flesh and blood can withstand higher and higher temperatures.

If sitting in this giant cauldron at the beginning was like throwing a person into boiling magma, then when the flesh and blood condensed out for the second time, the temperature was at most like boiling water; the third time, it was like a fire that had just been extinguished...

The temperature that Jianchou could feel around him was dropping again and again.

And the time it takes for this giant cauldron to "cook" her is getting longer and longer.

Moment after moment.

One hour, another hour...

Pain makes the suffering last longer.

Jianchou had no idea how much time had passed, maybe a lifetime.

***

"You guys think... your senior sister was boiled to death, right?"

Fudao Shanren counted on his fingers and realized that three days had passed.

He looked around guiltily at the five disciples sitting opposite him, starting from the far left, they were the second oldest Qu Zhengfeng, the third oldest Kou Qianzhi, the fourth oldest Chen Jiu, the sixth oldest Chen Weishan, and the eighth oldest Jiang He.

Kou Qianzhi held the sword, his eyes moving from Fudaoshanren's face to Qu Zhengfeng's face, and finally back to Chen Jiu's face.

He seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say it and kept his mouth shut.

The story begins three days ago.

Three days ago, when Fourth Junior Brother Chen Jiu went to the Dan Hall, he happened to see the Senior Sister leaving, so he asked her what she was going to do. Unexpectedly, the little carrot in the Dan Hall said something horrifying: the Senior Sister actually asked for a giant cauldron that could cook people!

Chen Jiu was immediately shocked, and had been wondering why the senior sister followed Qu Zhengfeng's footsteps and also wanted to cook people for food.

At first, Chen Jiu actually didn't care.

Yashan has been quite lively recently, because this year happens to be the day when Yashan recruits new disciples once every ten years. As a disciple of Yashan with good qualifications and strength, Chen Ju will need his help in many things.

This year, many young people also came here to visit Yashan.

The difference is that this year there are a lot of female practitioners.

So, everyone immediately thought of Senior Sister Jianchou.

Well, it's time to put our only female cultivator in Yashan to use.

Chen Jiu immediately thought of looking for Jianchou, but when he arrived at Jianchou's door and was about to knock, he discovered a formation that was built for cultivation to prevent others from trespassing.

Chen Jiu himself often set up such formations, so he was very familiar with it and recognized it at a glance.

At that moment, Chen Jiu, who called himself "the most handsome man in Yashan", finally used the one thing he had besides his face -

For example, the brain.

Of course he didn't want to disturb others who were practicing, so he retreated. Thinking of the giant tripod, he began to feel a little worried.

Qu Zhengfeng is a bad guy. It would be fine if he really eats people, but it would be bad if Senior Sister Jianchou also learns bad things from him.

So, Chen Ju finally found Fudaoshan, who was hiding in a corner of Yashan, and told him the situation. He expressed his concerns and asked about the situation of Senior Sister Jianchou.

Unexpectedly…

Fudaoshanren actually scolded him directly: What do you mean by boiling people? What do you mean by boiling people? ! Your senior sister is refining her body, refining her body!

At that moment, Chen Jiu was completely stunned.

Who the hell uses a big cauldron for body training

After being scolded by his unreliable master, Chen Ju really had the urge to scold him back, but after thinking that he couldn't beat his master yet, he had to endure it and asked Fu Dao Shan Ren calmly, "What kind of body refining method requires the use of a large cauldron?"

then…

Finally, we have the scene we have today.

Fudaoshan felt very guilty.

Jianchou hasn't come out for three days.

According to the body refining method in "Human Instrument", it usually takes five days to boil a person in a large cauldron for the first time before the body can withstand the temperature of boiling water.

Logically speaking, only three days had passed, so he didn't need to worry.

only…

Uneasy eyes slowly passed over the faces of several disciples, and Fu Dao Shanren's voice became weaker and weaker: "Isn't it just body training? Maybe it's not that dangerous... The body training methods I got, although dangerous, are definitely the best. It shouldn't be possible for someone to be boiled to death... Your eldest sister is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, how can she not bear the temperature of boiling water? Besides... she is still a Tianxu body..."

"Then why didn't you use this method to refine your body..."

The fat boy Jiang He felt like he was going to collapse when he thought of Senior Sister Jianchou, who was so gentle and kind, and actually went down the path of no return of body refining.

He stared straight at Fudaoshanren and said this in a low voice.

Just this one sentence is enough to choke Fudaoshanren to death.

"How could Senior Sister Jianchou meet such an unreliable master..." Chen Jiu lay weakly on the table and murmured, "When I came here just now, the headmaster asked me to find Senior Sister Jianchou to recruit new disciples. What if Senior Sister Jianchou boiled herself to death in the house, what would I do... What would Yashan do..."

Originally, it was difficult for Yashan to recruit female practitioners because the training methods of Yashan disciples were generally too cruel.

After half a year of basic training, new disciples, regardless of gender, will first be picked up and beaten by seniors who have entered the sect earlier, and then they will lose their temper. After that, they will start the real training with extremely high intensity. In the second year of a disciple's entry, he must complete ten challenges in the animal trap under Yashan Mountain, regardless of whether he wins or loses...

Only after completing all of this, this disciple can be truly considered a qualified disciple of Yashan.

It’s not like they didn’t recruit female cultivators in the beginning, but most of them couldn’t stand such high-intensity training and fighting, so they eventually dropped out…

Henceforth, Yashan gained a bad reputation for not caring for female practitioners.

Now, even though such a powerful Senior Sister Jianchou was directly accepted as a disciple by Fudaoshanren, whether she was holding a giant axe or carrying a heavenly disk, or even that earth-shattering kick, it announced to the cultivators in the entire 19th continent -

The female cultivators in my Yashan can also adopt this style, and can definitely withstand this intensity of training and fighting!

What a great golden signboard!

Even if I can't get a suitable female cultivator this year, at least I can bring Senior Sister Jianchou to show off in front of everyone. Who the hell said that we don't have female cultivators in Yashan? This is it!

Unfortunately...

Now, Sister Jianchou...

"Big Sister Yashan is about to be boiled to death... She is about to be boiled to death... She is about to be boiled to death..."

These words kept echoing in his mind, making Chen Jiu want to crawl under the table.

Qu Zhengfeng sat next to him and didn't speak for most of the day.

He slowly straightened his sleeves and glanced at Fudaoshanren, as if trying to see what he was thinking.

After a long time, he said, "The body refining method of Human Instrument is extremely dangerous. If you are not a mentally strong person, you will faint the moment you enter the boiling cauldron. The spiritual power in your body will be uncontrolled and unable to protect your body. You will be cooked within the first hour."

After he finished speaking, he saw beads of cold sweat on Fudaoshanren’s head.

Qu Zhengfeng said calmly, "Master, if you are hungry next time, can you tell me first?"

"… "

Fudaoshanren stared at Qu Zhengfeng for a long time, his mind turning over and over again, and then he shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to cook your senior sister to eat!"

Everyone looked at him with an indescribable look.

"Damn it, what are you looking at? Are you itching for trouble? Don't you believe in Master?!"

When Fudaoshan saw this group of traitors, he was so angry that he almost died.

"That's because Jianchou wanted to refine her body herself. It has nothing to do with me. She had already read the body-refining method in Human Instrument. It was her choice!"

"… "

Qu Zhengfeng didn't want to say anything about this unreliable master.

He stood up from his seat and walked outside.

When Chen Jiu saw it, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Qu Zhengfeng is cooking people with a cauldron

Or body training

He quickly stood up and said, "Second Brother, are you going to look for the eldest sister? Take me with you!"

After saying this, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the house.

This is where the disciples of Yashan gather, right between the two stone steps at the bottom of the mountain wall.

Chen Jiu rushed out and saw that Qu Zhengfeng had already risen straight up the mountain wall.

He hurriedly caught up and said, "Speaking of which, I heard that you, Second Senior Brother, actually took the initiative to draw your sword against Wu Duan of Kunwu some time ago. It's really unexpected... So, when are we going to draw our sword?"

Qu Zhengfeng glanced at him sideways, coldly, without saying anything.

Chen Jiu was itching in his heart: "Although, Second Senior Brother, you are a well-known cruel and ruthless person. I lost my temper when I was beaten by you, but... fighting with you is refreshing. Now you actually took the initiative to draw the sword, you must have joined my sword-drawing sect. It's comfortable to draw the sword at the slightest disagreement, right? In the past, it was Junior Brother who misunderstood Second Senior Brother. Anyone who draws the sword is an upright person... Second Senior Brother, you have never taken the initiative to draw the sword against me, so, can you give me a chance?"

Qu Zhengfeng drew his sword!

It was like red rain falling from the sky and the sun rising from the west!

Chen Ju is essentially the same as Kou Qianzhi, a battle maniac who can't wait to fight from morning to night.

If he had not been abused so badly by Qu Zhengfeng in the past, he would definitely be willing to fight with him every day.

What was the fighting like back then

It was simply that Qu Zhengfeng asked them to take action, and they took action, but there was no such thing as them drawing their swords on their own initiative!

When swords were drawn at Yashan, especially between fellow disciples, unless they were extremely treacherous and evil, they would usually weigh each other's strengths. For example, Chen Jiu would never draw his sword against any random person.

certainly…

From Qu Zhengfeng's point of view, there are not many people who can make him draw his sword.

Therefore, when he heard that Qu Zhengfeng had also stepped into the "Sword Drawing Sect", Chen Jiu was extremely excited.

Seeing that Qu Zhengfeng didn't say a word and didn't care about him at all, Chen Jiu couldn't help but sigh: "Second Brother, let's talk about it. Just ignore what I said when I offended you before..."

This time, Qu Zhengfeng finally turned around and looked at him: "You also know that you have offended me..."

The voice was cold and indifferent.

Chen Jiu slapped his mouth and let the word slip.

Qu Zhengfeng didn't bother with him. He just turned around and landed in front of Jianchou's door.

Later, Fudaoshanren and several other disciples finally caught up.

Fatty Jiang He looked at the quiet door and felt a little scared.

The formation blocked out external interference, and also blocked out external spying, so they couldn't understand the situation inside the door.

Even if you knock on the door, the possibility of Jianchou hearing it is extremely small.

Jiang He said in a trembling voice: "Should we knock on the door?"

Sword fanatic Kou Qianzhi also turned his attention to the door for the first time and muttered, "What if I open the door and find that Senior Sister Jianchou has boiled herself to death?"

“Bang!”

Fudaoshanren slapped him without hesitation!

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Kou Qianzhi shut up immediately.

However…

Chen Weishan didn't shut up yet. He looked at the gate with a simple and honest expression, and finally thought of a very critical question: "The eldest sister shouldn't boil herself to death, but if we go in, the eldest sister hasn't finished her training yet... Then is the eldest sister wearing clothes?"

A strange silence suddenly appeared at the door of Jianchou's house.

In the end, Fudaoshan was the quickest to react and slapped him again: "What kind of dirty things are you thinking about? We will knock on the door!"

Inside the house.

The air was filled with the smell of medicine that was gradually fading.

Jianchou sat cross-legged in the cauldron, and the spiritual energy that was gathering towards her ancestral acupoint between her eyebrows had gradually shrunk into a tiny thin line. The spiritual energy needed for body refining seemed to have decreased all of a sudden.

The sweat on her forehead had disappeared, her whole body felt warm, her muscles and bones were relaxed, as if she had soaked herself in warm water.

The temperature of the potion in the giant cauldron was no longer able to cook her, and even the medicinal power of the potion became weaker. It was like a needle prick at first, but now it was like a gentle caress.

"Gulp..."

The sound of boiling medicine could still be heard in my ears, proving that this huge cauldron was still boiling.

Jianchou slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The potion had turned into an opaque gray.

At that moment, Jianchou had an extremely disgusting guess in his heart...

This grey color is not the color left by any kind of herbs, but the flesh and blood that melted away from the writing...

She knew she couldn't watch any longer, so she quickly suppressed the strange feeling, stood up from the giant cauldron, and quickly took out a jar of clean water from her Qiankun bag, washed herself clean, and then put on her outer robe.

The feeling at that moment was so refreshing.

Jianchou could clearly feel the changes in his body. His skin became more than twice as smooth and tender. The calluses on his palms due to years of hard work had disappeared completely. However, the flexibility of his skin was beyond imagination.

Every inch of flesh and blood grows along with the tempering of spiritual power, and is purer than the flesh and blood tempered after birth.

"Human-Tool" really uses humans as tools.

When cultivators usually begin their practice, they are still made up of flesh and blood. No one is born with the spiritual power to temper their body, so they are naturally weak physically. However, the method of "Human Instrument" is designed to wash away a person's "flesh" and utilize herbs and the cultivator's body's own repair ability to enable it to be tempered by the spiritual power.

Thus, the newly emerged body possessed an innately strong foundation.

Only on this basis, the next step of body training will be more effective.

This painful journey is really worth it.

The first level of this body refining method is called the Body of Gold and Iron. It is not as hard as gold or stone, but ordinary gold and iron, which cannot cause any harm to the body.

Jianchou thought about it, took out an ordinary small dagger from his Qiankun bag, and slashed it across his palm, leaving only a shallow white mark!

The jade slip said that it would take about five days to master the first level, and the time for subsequent levels would double.

How long has it been now

Jianchou originally wanted to calculate the time, but found that the process of refining in the cauldron was so painful that he could not estimate how much time had passed...

Standing there, Jianchou couldn't figure out the answer.

She simply stretched herself and felt as light as a swallow, as if she could float up immediately.

At this moment, every inch of her flesh and blood is filled with pure spiritual power. As long as she wants, she can launch a powerful attack immediately.

Although his realm has not improved, it is obvious that his strength should have reached a higher level.

After stretching, she walked to the door and slowly opened it.

A ray of silvery moonlight shone in through the crack of the open door.

Along with the moonlight came human figures.

Jianchou was stunned and looked up, seeing six people standing at the door of his house. Although they were standing with their backs to the light and his faces could not be seen clearly, Jianchou could tell from the outlines of their bodies that they were the six masters and apprentices including Fudao Shanren!

At that moment, the doorway was extremely quiet.

Qu Zhengfeng frowned and said nothing.

Fudao Shanren felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart, and he wished he could hug his disciples and cry: Damn, I'm glad I'm not dead!

Kou Qianzhi was quite steady and didn't have any big reaction.

Fatty Jiang He threw himself on Chen Weishan and laughed, "Great! Senior Sister Jianchou didn't boil herself to death. Great! She didn't boil herself to death!"

cook…

die…

The corner of Jianchou's mouth twitched violently.

What on earth are you doing here?!
