Chapter 10 Penance

"The Blood Qi Technique is a secret technique taught in Biluo Cave. You are not allowed to teach it outside without the permission of the sect. Otherwise, you will be skinned and soul-extracted. Remember this." After Elder Huhuo briefly mentioned a few more precautions during cultivation,

He warned with a change of topic.

"Yes." The three of them answered in unison with serious expressions.

Elder Huhuo nodded, concealed the stern look in his eyes, took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out three lavender pills, and handed them to the three of them:

"Take it."

Yuan Ming took the pill without swallowing it and looked at the other two people out of the corner of his eye.

"Elder Huhuo, what kind of elixir is this?" the tiger slave asked.

"Rotten Heart Pill, my Biluo Cave secret medicine, will slowly invade the heart veins after being taken. The antidote must be taken regularly every month to suppress the toxicity." Elder Huhuo said in a calm tone.

The tiger slaves and wild boar slaves couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing this.

Yuan Ming also frowned, Biluodong was planning to use the Rotting Heart Pill to control these furry beast slaves.

However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

He didn't think much about it. He raised his head and swallowed the pill. The Rotten Heart Pill melted immediately after entering his stomach. A cold feeling spread in his inner organs, approaching his heart and then stopping there. It was as if there was a cold dagger against his heart.

Possibly stabbed.

Although the other two people looked a little ugly, they also took the Rotting Heart Pill one after another under the indifferent gaze of Elder Huhuo.

"You have passed the test and been taught the blood energy method. You have become the official furry beast slaves of Biluo Cave. From now on, you can hand in five pieces of ferocious beast essence and blood here every month, and you will receive the Corrupt Heart Pill antidote." Huhuo.

The elder was quite satisfied with the attitude of the three people and said.

"May I ask the elder, what is a ferocious beast?" Yuan Ming asked.

"The ferocious beast is a beast that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its combat power is even greater than the beasts you hunted before. There is a canyon ten miles south from here, and there are ferocious beasts in the forest on the other side of the canyon. The premise is that you have mastered the blood energy method.

, otherwise I’m afraid there will be no return.” Elder Huhuo glanced south and said.

Yuan Ming was silent, but his expression was very solemn.

When he first heard the blood energy method, he felt that it was a bit mysterious and difficult. He hadn't had time to think about it carefully, but he also knew that it was not easy to practice it.

Moreover, even if you have mastered the Blood and Qi Technique and can perform the Hair Clothing Technique, you will only be able to reach your previous combat strength.

When he hunted the black bear before, he almost narrowly escaped death before finally succeeding, let alone hunting a stronger beast.

A dark cloud flashed across the depths of Yuan Ming's eyes. In the eyes of Elder Huhuo, or in the eyes of Biluodong, the life and death of these unqualified furry beast slaves was not important. What was important was whether they could be driven by him.

The other two people quickly figured out the pros and cons, and their expressions became increasingly ugly.

"Remember, if you perform well, you will have a promising future. I hope you will take care of yourself." Elder Huhuo had seen many furry beast slaves. He could tell what the three of them were thinking at a glance, but he was too lazy to pay attention. As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows.

He patted his waist lightly with his hand.

The huge falcon flew up again, holding his body soaring into the sky. The airflow within a dozen feet was violently turbulent, as if a hurricane was blowing, causing the leaves of the surrounding trees to sway.

The three of them were blown around for a while, but they finally managed to stabilize themselves.

However, after such a hard time, the heavy moods of Yuan Ming and the others were dispelled a lot.

"The aura of this gray eagle is far beyond that of ordinary beasts. It is probably a kind of ferocious beast, right? It can be tamed to this extent. It seems that the Biluo Cave has a really deep foundation." Yuan Ming secretly guessed, but he was unknowingly aware of it in his heart.

Biluo Cave is a bit more yearning.

"You two, it is a fate for the three of us to gather here today. We might as well get to know each other, Uru." The tiger-haired beast slave said with his hands.

"Yuan Ming." Yuan Ming picked up the white ape skin and returned the gesture.

"Just call me Lago." The wild boar slave also announced his name.

"It turns out to be Brother Yuan Ming and Brother La Ge. Both of them must have personally experienced the power of the wild beasts here. The task that Elder Huhuo just ordered has almost no hope of being completed by one person alone. Elder Huhuo did not explicitly say that we must act alone.

How about you and I working together?" Urudo glanced at Yuan Ming and said.

"What a great idea! If the three of us work together, there is great hope in hunting down the ferocious beasts!" Lago's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

"As for hunting ferocious beasts, we can talk about it later. The most important thing for us now is to find a safe place to practice the blood energy method. Now that we have all been lifted from the furry spell, we have no chance of winning against those beasts.

It would be safer to work together." Uru suggested.

"Brother Wulu has a long-term view, and we really need to find a safe place first." La Ge was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Brother Yuan Ming, I wonder what you think?" Wulu smiled and looked at Yuan Ming.

"Sorry, Yuan has always been used to acting alone." Yuan Ming was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, turning around and leaving before the two of them could speak again.

He has prepared a safe place to stay, and he has no trust in the two people in Ulu who he just met. If they stay together, he will worry day and night. In this case, it is better to act alone.

"It is said that the people of the Central Plains have always come from the Kingdom of Heaven, and Yelang is arrogant. It seems that the rumors are true. Speaking of which, he has some ability to pass the test with the power of the white ape skin." La Ge curled his lips and said

.

"Forget it, everyone has his own ambitions, don't force it. Brother Lago, let's go. I have found a safe place during the past two days of hunting animals. The two of us will work together, and I believe we will accomplish something."

Uru picked up the hide and walked with Lago in the other direction.

Yuan Ming wrapped the ape skin around his waist and smeared mud all over his body to hide his breath, and carefully headed towards the cave where he had previously lived, lurking immediately when encountering any disturbance.

Now he has no furry skills to help him, and he doesn't have any weapons at hand. He just relies on some gun and stick skills, and he is no match for the beasts here.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad. Although he encountered wild beasts several times along the way, he lurked and avoided them in time. However, he had no danger and arrived at the cave safely.

He struggled to move a few large rocks and blocked the entrance of the cave. The cave fell into darkness, with only a few weak rays of light shining through the gaps.

At this point, Yuan Ming's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly. He cleaned the sludge on his body a little, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the formula of the Blood Qi Method in his mind, and then began to try to understand and practice.

He first followed the method taught by Elder Huhuo, crossed his legs and sat cross-legged, assuming a posture with five hearts in the sky, and then recited the mantra silently in his heart.

"There is fire in the lungs of the earth. It enters from the quiet spring and rises into the abdomen, shining like a torch..."

While chanting, Yuan Ming felt a sudden warm feeling rising from the ground beneath him, passing upward from the bottom of the tailbone, circling around in the body, and then slowly returning to the lower abdomen.

He was overjoyed and just wanted to calm down the heat in his abdomen, but the next moment, the warm feeling suddenly dissipated, and there was no longer any special feeling.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Yuan Ming frowned and pondered, and found that there was no mistake in his movements, and there was also no problem in reciting the formula, so he tried again.

However, the result this time was no different. I could still only feel a slight flow of heat in my lower abdomen, but I was unable to stabilize this flow of heat. I could only watch and let it gather and then disperse, disappearing invisible.

According to what Elder Huhuo said before, after running a large cycle, the normal situation should be to maintain this heat flow in the Dantian, making it like a carbon furnace, heating the Qi and blood of the whole body, making the Qi and blood active.

And gradually nourishing and strengthening it will be a long process, depending on personal understanding and qualifications.

When the Qi and blood are strong enough, you will feel like your hair is standing out during practice. At this time, the pores all over your body will be wide open, and you can further try to sense and absorb the ethereal spiritual energy contained between heaven and earth.

Once the spiritual energy enters the body through the pores and is transformed by the Dantian, it can be converted into the accumulation of one's own mana. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, the animal skin can be activated through the technique of fur covering to activate it, and then combine with one's own flesh and blood.

Transformed into a half-man, half-animal state, he possesses far greater power than usual.

But Yuan Ming found to his embarrassment that he had already been stopped in the first step of his cultivation.

After that, he tried several times in succession, but all ended in failure.

Yuan Ming was not discouraged by this. He had long expected that practicing the blood and energy method would not be easy. If he couldn't succeed today, he would continue to explore tomorrow, believing that he would eventually succeed.

"Gu..."

At this time, he heard a growl from his lower abdomen, but he was already hungry.

Yuan Ming rubbed his empty stomach, stood up, cut off a piece of black bear meat, swallowed it, drank two more mouthfuls of water, and continued to practice the blood energy method.

There are no years of cultivation, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the underground cave, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged, with his five hearts facing the sky.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly gathers together and circulates for a week according to the blood energy method, sinking towards the Dantian.

The problem from before is still there. The spiritual energy that was finally gathered quickly overflowed, and 99% of it was dissipated in an instant. Only a wisp of almost imperceptible spiritual energy entered the Dantian and was converted into mana.

"It's still like this. It seems that my qualifications are not enough." Yuan Ming opened his eyes and looked a little solemn.

After half a month of hard training, he finally made some progress, overcoming the bottleneck of spiritual energy being unable to enter his Dantian, and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his Dantian.

However, the overflow of spiritual power is still very serious, with almost no one remaining. He practiced hard for half a month, and only accumulated a trace of mana in his Dantian. He was far from being able to activate the hair-clothing technique. According to his current training speed, it will take at least half a year.

Only in this way can you accumulate enough mana.

Yuan Ming couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Not to mention half a year, he would probably die of poison in a month.

Could it be that this blood energy method is more suitable for southern Xinjiang people to practice, and my body and bones as a Central Plains person are a bit acclimatized?

He couldn't help but guess this.

What's even more troublesome is that the food and drinking water in the cave have almost been used up, and I can no longer practice with such peace of mind. And when I go out to hunt, with my current flesh and blood, if I encounter black bears and green wolves again, it will be very difficult.

Death has no life.

"Am I really going to be trapped and die here? No, I still have time, I can't give up!" Yuan Ming gritted his teeth, crossed his legs and made a pose with five hearts pointing to the sky, planning to continue practicing hard.

At the moment, he seems to have no other option except continuing to practice, because stopping will only lead to death, and continuing to try may still have a chance of survival.

However, half a day later, and more than a dozen Great Zhou Tians came down, the trace of mana in the Dantian remained almost unchanged.

"Give me your magic power...I want to return to the Central Plains!" Yuan Ming's heart was filled with unknown anger, and his strong obsession only increased instead of decreasing.

The next moment, his vision suddenly went black and he almost fainted.

At the same time, his right arm suddenly felt slightly warm, as if a stream of hot air had penetrated, and then disappeared immediately.
