"What's going on? What's at the bottom of the lake?"
The suction coming from the bottom of the lake made Zheng Shiyi feel doubtful. He had the urge to go down and take a look. His body instinctively turned down and rushed towards the bottom of the lake quickly.
"Creak! Crack!"
The pressure in the water and the tearing force were getting stronger and stronger. Zheng Shiyi was not aware of it and continued to control his body to swim underwater.
Many parts of his body made crisp sounds one after another because they could not bear it.
"So cool!"
The broken limbs did not cause Zheng Shiyi to feel any pain. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable.
The deeper he dives, the more powerful Zheng Shiyi feels. "If I dive to the bottom of the lake, will I directly have the power of the peak of the spiritual spring realm?"
Zheng Shiyi waved his arms as hard as he could and dived down.
"Peng!"
An explosion came from the soul seed, and Zheng Shiyi's consciousness suddenly woke up. The previous comfort immediately disappeared... replaced by pain! Heartbreaking pain!
The spiritual power that tormented him previously had been completely absorbed by his body after the force of tearing tore it apart.
Looking at his bloody body, Zheng Shiyi suddenly realized that he had just been pulled into an illusion by the force below!
The strangulation force he is enduring now has reached the limit of his body's endurance. If he were to go one inch lower... he would die under that strangulation force!
"What a risk! Fortunately, the Soul Seed woke me up in time! Otherwise... I would have been completely trapped here this time." Zheng Shiyi felt the power of the strangulation below, secretly lamenting his luck this time, and at the same time warned himself... Don't Blinded by strength, it obscures one's true heart.
Zheng Shiyi stopped his diving body, shook his arms downwards, rolled his body 180 degrees, turned his head towards the lake, released his spiritual energy, and turned into a white light and rushed towards the lake.
There was still a strong force at the bottom of the lake, attracting Zheng Shiyi, but in the end he was able to get rid of this force and rushed out of the water.
"Huh?" The woman sitting on the ground with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the sound of rushing out of the lake, and a cold light flashed through her eyes.
"He? Is it him?" A trace of joy flashed across the woman's face. She thought that the boy had listened to her words and would never come back after leaving. Unexpectedly... he was back again!
However, this joy only lasted for a moment and soon disappeared.
"Didn't I not let you come?" The woman looked at Zheng Shiyi calmly, her words full of rebuke.
Zheng Shiyi scratched his head awkwardly and smiled at the woman, "You are my relative, so naturally I will come back to see you."
"What are you..."
Zheng Shiyi's whole body was red, and his whole face was covered with blood. Looking at the blood flowing from his head, she couldn't help but frown, "It couldn't be Zhong Yuan who beat you like this, right?"
"Zhong Yuan? Who is it?" Zheng Shiyi explained with confusion on his face: "I was being chased by an inner disciple. I had no other choice, so I took a bite of the thousand-year-old Tai Sui sludge."
"I didn't know that the thing was so strong that it almost killed me... I had no choice but to jump into the depths of the abyss of death."
"The depths of the death pool? Are you desperate for your life? Aren't you allowed to go deeper?" The woman looked at Zheng Shiyi reproachfully.
The woman's reproachful gaze didn't last for even a breath, and suddenly her eyes widened and she asked, "What did you just say? Did you take a bite of Tai Sui's sludge?"
Zheng Shiyi nodded and said: "I went back to the family a few days ago and heard that the family got a piece of Tai Sui's body. Those scum wanted to give Tai Sui's body to the ancestral land, so I snatched it away."
Zheng Shiyi took out the sludge, handed it to the woman and said, "If it works for you, can you take a sip?"
The woman shook her head and pushed Tai Sui's body back and said: "I can't use this treasure for the time being. You have got a great opportunity. You must hide the body well. If Zhong Yuan finds out, she will definitely rob you. Yes! By then, no one in the entire Xuanming Sect can save you!"
"Zhong Yuan?" Zheng Shiyi frowned again. The woman mentioned this person in front of him many times. Who is this person
The woman saw Zheng Shiyi's doubts, but she did not answer Zheng Shiyi. Because she knew that if she told the other party that Zhong Yuan was the leader, the young man would definitely be resistant to Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan is such a shrewd person. With a little investigation, he will find out everything about Zheng Shiyi, which will not only be detrimental to him! That would really kill you!
Zheng Shiyi looked at the slough in his hand and asked the woman: "I haven't tried it, how do you know it's useless? Try it? I think the effect is very good... "
The woman glanced at the slough in Zheng Shiyi's hand, shook her head and refused, "The pills you gave me have been very helpful in helping my injury. The slough has also been helpful in my recovery."
"But if I take it, Zhong Yuan will feel it when he comes here. That will not be a good thing for you or me. You should keep it for yourself."
From the woman's words, Zheng Shiyi understood that giving a woman her body would most likely harm her, so he didn't persist: "Okay then. Since you don't need it, I'll keep it for myself."
"But... this thing is too tonic! After I took it, I really couldn't enjoy it... Only the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake can help me resolve this spiritual power. In this case... I have to live here for a while."
"Take one bite and go down once."
Zheng Shiyi folded his arms and looked at the woman with great pride.
The woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you waste more?"
"Waste?" Zheng Shiyi looked at the woman in confusion. For him, eating it was the best way. "Is there a better way?"
The woman gave Zheng Shiyi a helpless roll of her eyes again and said: "There is indeed a better way. The spiritual power contained in Tai Sui is extremely violent. If it can be refined into the Madness Pill."
"Because, the Madness Pill can amplify the violence in Tai Sui several times and unleash it."
"There are many kinds of alchemy... In my opinion, refining the Madness Pill is the best alchemy. There are only two ways for us to take the elixir to improve our cultivation. First, absorb the power of the elixir into the body. , thereby improving skill.”
"This method is the simplest and most effective. Most people use this method to improve their skills. However, this method has a drawback, that is, once the cultivation level reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to improve it."
"That's what everyone said, I've hit a bottleneck. The second way is to take elixirs such as Kuangba Dan."
"These are power elixirs. They cannot improve your cultivation after taking them. You need to surrender these powers before you can take them for yourself."
"Because subduing these powers requires the user to pay a huge price, therefore, after using it to improve your cultivation, you will not encounter a bottleneck when you reach a certain level."
"Of course, the risks of using it are also huge. Just like the sludge you take, if you can't subdue it, you will be completely tortured to death by these spiritual powers."
"So that's what happened." After listening to the woman's explanation, Zheng Shiyi understood that after taking the elixir, his cultivation level could be improved. "However, I don't know how to refine elixirs."
"Is it possible that I have to carry Tai Sui's remains and look for someone to make elixirs for me?"
The woman flipped her hair and nodded: "You don't have to worry about this. In the coming days, I will teach you how to refine the Madness Pill and the Marrow Cleansing Pill."
"Marrow-cleansing and pulse-breaking pill?" Zheng Shiyi looked at the woman suspiciously. She didn't mention this pill just now.
The woman saw Zheng Shiyi's doubts and explained: "The Marrow Cleansing Pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that can cleanse the marrow and cut the veins."
"Its pharmacology is similar to that of Kuang Ba Dan. It allows the meridians to absorb the power of the elixir, then subdues it and uses it for one's own use."
"By the way..." The woman's brows suddenly frowned, "Although I can teach you how to refine these two elixirs, if you refine them here, it will definitely attract Zhong Yuan's attention, and then you will be dead..."
"I will teach you the techniques and skills of alchemy in your next practice. Now go outside and find a pot."
"Looking for a pot?" Zheng Shiyi looked at the woman in confusion. What did she want to do when she asked herself to find a pot
The woman rolled her eyes at Zheng Shiyi again and explained: "Boil the Tai Sui relics in hot water and let you absorb it. Although the effect is not as good as refining it into Kuang Ba Dan, it is better than eating it dry."
"So that's what happened, then I'm going to find a pot." Zheng Shiyi said goodbye to the woman, turned around and jumped into the lake, and went outside to find the pot.
Not long after, Zheng Shiyi came back with a pot and some firewood. Then he filled a pot of water from the lake and placed the pot very close to the woman.
Zheng Shiyi lit a fire, cut off a small piece of the body, and threw it into the water.
"Chichi!"
Streams of creamy substance fell off the body one after another and merged into the water, looking like thick milk.
"go in!"
The woman kicked Zheng Shiyi into the air and fell directly into the pot.
As soon as his body touched those white substances, the same blazing heat as before surged through his body instantly, and Zheng Shiyi's skin color turned fiery red in an instant.
A large amount of sweat continued to break out from Zheng Shiyi's forehead, dripping down his cheeks into the pot.
Zheng Shiyi resisted the blazing heat, sat in the iron pot, clasped his hands together and began to absorb the spiritual power in the pot.
"Swish!"
Zheng Shiyi's surroundings were filled with steaming heat, and the spiritual power in the pot continued to enter his body along his skin.
These spiritual powers gathered more and more, and soon a red fire dragon formed in Zheng Shiyi's body. This red fire dragon looked very violent, constantly flicking its tail and lashing Zheng Shiyi's inner cavity.
Wherever it passed, a crack would be drawn in Zheng Shiyi's inner cavity, and bright red blood would flow out along the crack.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Zheng Shiyi's mouth, and his face was as pale as paper. The spiritual power that entered the body was so violent that it was impossible to resist it.
His body cavity was soon torn apart by the fire dragon.
The soul seed rotated at high speed, while repairing its torn body cavity, while absorbing the spiritual power of the fire dragon.
As the cracks in the body cavity were repaired, Zheng Shiyi's face became rosy again. However, the fire dragon quickly repaired the repaired parts, leaving many scars on it, and his face turned pale again.
