Chapter 9 Yuan Lingdan
Wang Peng's mouth wider and wider as he heard it, his eyes widened into a copper bell. He was lost for a while, then suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Spiritual Vision Mirror!!! You idiot, you didn't tell someone that the Yuan Ling Pill condensed from yourself!"
"Ah!" Bai Ya was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, his facial paralysis was well concealed, and he still looked calm and calm.
The Blood Swordsman stood up so excited that he waved his hand, but he lowered his head and saw that Bai Ya was still as stupid as he was, and he was stunned and sat back to his original place like a deflated ball.
"Oh, I'm also blaming me for not explaining it to you clearly at the beginning. I just thought that the Yuanling Pill was your ancestor." Wang Peng said with a wry smile, "Now I think you have been suffering from soul abscess for more than ten years and have another Yuanling Pill around you, so I should think that this pill originated from you."
"Is that Yuan Ling Pill... related to my previous abscess disease?" Bai Ya asked pretended.
Of course he knew that the abscess of the young man surnamed Bai had nothing to do with it. Yuan Ling Pill was a by-product of his time travel. However, these are no longer important now, which allowed him to better make up for his identity flaws.
If someone suspects his true identity in the future, he can be pointed out as the abscess caused by the Yuanling Pill.
"I once said that the Yuan Ling Pill is condensed by the souls of living beings, but I didn't say it in detail at that time..." Wang Peng sighed and said in a leisurely manner.
It turns out that although the Yuan Ling Pill is condensed by the souls of living beings, this creature does not only refer to humans, but includes all wild beasts, divine beasts, demons and ghosts.
According to its effectiveness, Yuan Ling Pill can be roughly divided into three categories. One is retained by martial arts powers above the innate realm, the other is retained by wild beasts with wisdom, and the last is born to a newborn baby.
The Yuanling Pill left by the powerful martial arts is also called the inheritance pill. This is to use some special martial arts method to strip away the fragments of one's own soul, imprint a certain unique skill into something similar to a soul projection.
It is difficult to make the inheritance pill, and it requires the right time, place, and people. The powerful martial arts are not something that you can do just by wanting to do. Most inheritance pills can only imprint a small amount of information, and often only have one unique skill. Once the production is completed, the creator will either die or be crazy.
Moreover, it is very painful to strip away one's own soul. If it weren't for the fact that the books and words could not convey the secrets of the unique knowledge, and the producers had little time to teach their disciples, almost no one would be willing to do this.
Therefore, the inheritance pill usually comes from those who have great powers in Taoism, but have no disciples who can inherit their own martial arts. Only they have to use the inheritance pill to hope that there are suitable candidates in the future to inherit their martial arts and ideals.
The second type of Yuanling Pill has nothing to do with inheritance. The inheritance of the wild divine beasts is not through learning, but directly through bloodlines. This type of Yuanling Pill is usually extracted from them by humans after they seize the wild divine beasts and use alchemy to refine them.
This type of Yuanling Pill retains certain qualities of the wild divine beasts, such as strength, agility, physique, five elements, talent, magical powers, etc. Therefore, this type of Yuanling Pill is also called the Beast Spirit Pill.
Similarly, if this type of Yuan Ling Pill comes from a demon and ghost, it can also be called a Demon Spirit Pill, a Demon Spirit Pill...
Of course, this kind of pill cannot be eaten randomly. If the person taking the pill does not match the properties of the pill, it is easy to get a problem with it, and even make himself neither human nor beast, turning into an alien monster.
The above two types of pills, whether they are inherited or beast spirit pills, are flawed.
Because these two kinds of pills are made by adults, or adult wild beasts, and are condensed by souls, they inevitably have the nature and memory of their life. Users will be more or less affected by them, and those with weak minds will even change their temperaments, as if they have changed their own people.
Therefore, although these two kinds of Yuanling Pills are very cherished, few people will use them unless there is no better choice. This is one of the reasons why Wang Peng would return Yuanling Pills to Baiya in the first place.
However, the last pill is different. This Yuanling pill is condensed when a baby is born, also known as the Infant Pill or Companion Pill.
Since the fission of the world, the vitality of life has been rich, and all life races have begun to evolve, and human beings are no exception.
After thousands of years of life evolution, in the case where some families or parents are both martial arts masters, the baby has a strong soul since the womb, resulting in the weak body being unable to fully accommodate it. Therefore, the soul overflows when he is born, accompanied by a Yuan Ling Pill.
This Yuan Ling Pill has no martial arts inheritance, nor does it have the various benefits of the Beast Spirit Pill, but the key is that as long as the five elements are in harmony, everyone can take it without any side effects.
After taking this Yuan Ling Pill, the user will briefly leave the body. When the Yuan Spirit overlaps with the body, the situation observed by Bai Ya a few days ago will occur. It is called the Spiritual Vision Mirror, which means that you can peek at all the details inside the body like a mirror.
The Spiritual Vision Mirror is not beneficial to ordinary people at all, but it has irreplaceable magical uses in the minds of warriors, especially those who are at the acquired bottleneck.
It allows warriors to observe the internal conditions of their bodies and thus discover their shortcomings in their cultivation. To a large extent, they can shorten the bottleneck period, and even directly break the bottleneck, allowing warriors to advance to the next stage.
This infant elixir has only one defect, that is, babies may delay their intellectual development due to lack of souls, and will show aphrodisiacs in early childhood.
"You are taking this pill now, it's really a waste of resources..." Wang Peng looked at Bai Ya with a complicated expression.
"If it's gone, it's gone!" Bai Ya looked at the blood swordsman with a look of regret, but he felt a little indifferent. Anyway, he didn't gain anything, at least he saw through the secret of the Arhat statue.
His Yuan Ling Pill is definitely not a baby spirit pill, but it seems to be similar to a baby spirit pill. Because after taking it, he did not get the lost memory fragments. I think it must have been wiped clean when he traveled through the world film.
Although Wang Peng was open-minded, he was still a little frustrated when he learned that he had passed by the treasure. In his opinion, the baby spirit pill should be his own, and Bai Ya cannot use it at all. He could use other things to make up for Bai Ya's losses.
Seeing the Blood Swordsman speechless for a long time, Bai Ya knew that he was in a bad mood and immediately went downstairs to the top floor and wanted to go to the bow of the boat to have a breath of wind.
"Look, Lilong, the auspicious beast Lilong~~"
Before he could get out of the hatch, he heard all kinds of excited shouts coming from outside the boat building.
"Lilong? What?" Bai Ya accelerated his pace and ran to the bow of the boat. He looked at the river from afar and was shocked.
I saw three monsters as big as mountains blocking the river surface in front of the tower. The leading monster was the largest. Without mentioning the lower limbs buried in the river, the back exposed to the water was hundreds of meters high. It was covered with thick armor the size of a millstone, which looked like turtles lying on their backs.
Its shape is quite similar to the long-necked dragon that Bai Ya had seen in his previous life, but it had two sharp corners on the back of its head and fleshy whiskers on its jaw, which was indeed a bit like a dragon.
The three Lilongs moved slowly in the river and swam towards the right bank. Although they were still several miles away from the tower ship, the waves still made the tower ship stagger, as if they were a petal on the water.
"Lilong is a auspicious beast, and the wisdom of adult Lilong is no less than that of humans!" Wang Peng came behind Baiya at some point and said with a little confusion, "It's just that although Lilong likes to live by the water, the Huangshui River is just a small river. Why do these three Lilongs appear here?"
A river that is two hundred miles wide is just a small river...
Bai Ya was unable to complain and asked tentatively: "Will it be related to the flood in Tao River?"
"Maybe!" The Blood Swordsman was a little untalking today, and it seemed that he still could not digest the blows brought by the Infant Spirit Pill.
"Giant beasts like Lilong appear near the human settlement. Haven't there be any warriors to clean them up?" Bai Ya thought for a while and asked in confusion.
"Haha, there are also auspicious beasts among the wild beasts, and Lilong is one of them. They are beneficial to humans or not, so naturally no one will care about them." Wang Peng said with a smile, "In fact, there are many auspicious beasts like this. Most of them live around rivers, post roads and grazing grounds.
Humans do not hunt them, but they will also protect the important traffic routes in disguise to prevent other wild beasts from entering and destroying them. Otherwise, how many human troops would need to patrol the post roads that last thousands of miles!"
"So that's it!" Bai Ya suddenly realized that this world was indeed extremely wonderful. Humans could coexist with such giant beasts. If they were the world of his previous life, they were afraid that these giants would have long been extinct.
More than half an hour later, the three Lilongs finally left the water and disappeared into the jungle on the shore. The tower ship that had been staying for a short time set off again and went east along the river. The people on the ship were excitedly talking about what they had seen and heard just now.
However, Bai Ya and Wang Peng lost interest and went back to their rooms to rest.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Bai Ya felt a sense of sleepiness surge in his heart. Since the Night Spirit's Mind Mirror, he found that his body had a strange change. His mind became clearer, his reaction became more sensitive, and even his memory improved a lot.
Although he recorded the tadpole text with relic powder that day, he later found that the tadpole text that he had copied only once was vivid in his mind and never forgot a single trace of it.
Of course, there are also side effects of the Spiritual Vision Mirror, which leads to mental fatigue. He has been very sleepy these days. And at this time, a cold air flow will flow out from his abdomen and navel, which will make him feel energetic.
Bai Ya knew that this was the effect of the phantom of the relics, and this was another gain from the night's spiritual vision mirror.
Like the Arhat statue, he did not tell the Blood Swordsman about this anymore. He planned to rot in his stomach to avoid unnecessary peeping.
Wang Peng is not a bad person in Baiya's eyes, but he knows that human nature is the least worthy of testing.
In the following days, Baiya ate, slept and practiced step by step until two weeks later, Wang Peng finally called him off the boat and they arrived at the place.
Chapter completed!
