Looking down from a high altitude, the entire Xuhuo Island was enveloped in red flames, like a big fireball.

Due to the protection of the body light, Liu San could not feel the scorching heat. He descended slowly, and when he landed near the flame, he felt a faint scorching heat.

He thought of the hardships he had gone through to cross the Eye of the Ocean. Thinking of the deadly thunder, lightning, wind and waves in the Eye of the Ocean, he became more and more careful flying around the flames.

Just letting himself be roasted by the virtual fire for two hours, he felt a slight pain in his legs. It seemed that he was too close to the virtual fire, so he flew a few feet higher before he felt relatively comfortable, and the heat was much less intense.

At the end of the day, he let himself grill on this huge stove, and he sweated so much that he felt like he was about to turn into a dried salted fish.

Fortunately, Huo Yanjun stopped the exercise in the middle of the night.

Liu Sancai slowly landed on the castle and removed the protective halo. However, he felt that his feet were so swollen and painful that he could hardly stand.

It was a pleasant night with unlimited stars. But Liu San was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up and fell down on the castle. Then he felt a dull pain in his body, as if his skin and muscles were being torn.

Huo Yanjun received the Fire-Calming Pearl and said, "Drink some water quickly, and then do your exercises to regulate your inner breath. On this first day of practice, you have gone too far."

She fetched a bowl of water from the stone castle, and Liu San drank it in big gulps.

"I didn't expect your endurance to be so strong. No wonder you can cultivate to this point." Huo Yanjun said.

After drinking the water, Liu San was like a withered grass that had gained some moisture. He took a breath, resisted the dizziness in his head and the pain all over his body, and sat down on the roof to meditate.

Huo Yanjun left quietly, leaving only Liu San on the huge roof.

The cool sea breeze blowing and moving the vellus hair can also cause the slightest pain.

Liu San practiced the Tongtian Magical Art and felt that there was a lack of true energy in his body. He could only produce free true energy, which slowly gathered in his Dantian.

The first step of the technique, which could be completed instantly in the past, took more than half an hour today to gather enough zhenqi and then push the zhenqi to circulate in the body.

This feeling is similar to but somewhat different from the Eyes Crossing the Ocean.

When the Qi is circulating, he will feel pain in his meridians. The difference is that this time, his meridians seem to have been dried out and become brittle. The Qi can only move slowly to control the pain in the body. Otherwise, the meridians seem to be like

If it bursts, it can kill you.

He carefully circulated the Qi, and it took him most of the night to complete the operation for a week.

When it was almost early in the morning, he went to eat and drink water instead, and then started the second round of Qi circulation, and the pain in his body slowed down a lot.

He breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally okay and he had basically adjusted.

…

The next day, Huo Yanjun started practicing the spirit stone again on time.

Liu San had to get up, use the protective light, and fly over the island again. He accepted yesterday's lesson and stayed away from the flames.

In the afternoon, he flew back to the castle, drank water and rested for half an hour.

After practicing this day, he still felt the pain in his muscles, blood vessels, and meridians, but it was much less severe than the previous day.

He spent most of the night adjusting his breath on the roof before jumping back to the stone castle to rest.

On the third day, he still maintained the same intensity of practice as the previous day. At the end of the night, he found that his bones began to feel sore and painful. Fortunately, he did not rush into the practice, and the sore feeling was not too strong.

Huo Yanjun looked at his limp body and said, "Yes, you will feel some pain in your head, blood vessels, bones and meridians. Because the flames of virtual fire are constantly changing your body."

Liu San nodded. This principle is basically the same as the principle of the Eye of the Ocean. It's just that at that time, he used spiritual stone instruments to protect himself and maintained normal training intensity. Therefore, the pain was not as good as this virtual fire training.

On the fifth day of practice, Huo Yanjun gave him instructions again: "Starting tomorrow, you have to practice passing through virtual fire."

Liu San opened his eyes in surprise and said, "Wouldn't that kill me?!"

Huo Yanjun said: "I'm asking you to pass through the virtual fire, not stay in the virtual fire for a long time. Even I don't dare to stay in the virtual fire for too long with such intensity of virtual fire."

It turns out that the outer flames, flames, and bottom flames of this virtual fire are not only different in intensity, but also have different cultivation effects. Only by experiencing the complete roasting test of the virtual fire can all aspects of the practitioner's physical quality be improved.

"Moreover, when you pass through the virtual fire layer, you also exercise the true qi skills to keep the true qi flowing smoothly in the body, which will enhance the effect of the practice." Huo Yanjun said.

Therefore, starting from the sixth day, Liu San began to exercise the Heaven-Tong Tian Magic Kung Fu, forming a body-protecting light on the one hand, and then using the remaining true energy to keep the Kung Fu technique running in the body.

He quickly passed through the virtual fire layer from above, crossing it as fast as he could.

I just felt warm all over my body and passed through it.

When he reached the ground, he took a short rest and then crossed in the opposite direction.

On this day, Liu San was like a flea, repeatedly passing through the virtual fire layer dozens of times. In the afternoon, he felt a little tired and had obvious soreness in his muscles, bones, blood vessels, and meridians.

So, he stopped traveling and returned to the castle early to exercise his energy and regulate his breathing.

Sure enough, at this time, he felt that the pain in his body was not obvious. The movement energy circulated throughout his body, and he felt a slight tingling sensation in his body, just like new skin.

Liu San estimated that he had found the rhythm of his practice. In the following four days of practice, he slowed down the speed of time travel appropriately. When his body felt obvious pain, he would adjust the speed of time travel or reduce the number of time travels.

…

On Gongyi Island, a rare busy scene appeared.

After agreeing on a trade deal with Meizhou Island, the owner of Pang Island arranged for people to go to the bamboo forest to cut down the best moso bamboo and pile it on the coast.

They also ordered people to rush to make a large number of bamboo bowls and cups.

The craftsmen of Gongyi Island, who have always been passionate about crafts, now have a job and are immersed in happy work.

This is very important to them.

The family crafts on Gongyi Island are passed down from male to female. With work, you can make money, and the men will have a higher status.

After the fat island owner announced the news, he immediately received enthusiastic support from the craftsmen.

He was full of joy and went around the town to check. He was also full of hope that through business contacts with Meizhou Island, he could gain the support of more islanders.

But he did not expect that not all islanders agreed with his idea of ​​continuing to maintain the status of male craftsmen.

That day, when he was walking home after inspecting the town and humming a tune, an accident happened!

Several figures suddenly jumped out of the alley and hit his Dazhui point. When the fat island owner was dizzy, another prison character was hit on his forehead and he was dragged into a courtyard somewhere in the town.

…

The news that the island owner was missing quickly spread throughout the town.

The skinny second island owner had to put down his beloved craft work and step in to take charge of things on the island.

For more than a hundred years, Gongyi Island has been in a stable state. When such a big event suddenly occurred, the owner of the thin island seemed a little surprised.

He walked along the town and asked the last craftsman who saw the fat island owner. The craftsman, Lao Xia, spoke with some flickering words and pointed to the alley and said, "I saw the island owner walking over there."

He has two wives, both of whom are elderly, and they already have three daughters and one son at home.

Lao Xia said: "Whoever commits evil will cause trouble to the island owner. Now that business has been opened, I plan to make some money and marry another woman back home."

The skinny island owner didn't say anything, but he heard his eldest wife cough twice and say: "You are really an old man, do you still want to marry a wife?!"

Lao Xia smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this the consistent tradition of our Gongyi Island?!"

With a dark face, the eldest lady poured a cup of tea for the thin island owner. The tea was very full, but just not overflowing.

It is the custom of Gongyi Island to see off guests with tea. Apparently Lao Xia's wife was not willing to receive the thin island owner, and Lao Xia also showed an awkward smile.

These women are a headache on Gongyi Island.

Having more women is naturally a good thing for men. But it also contains dangers. Every family is polygamous. On the surface, the man is the head of the family, but in fact, this is not necessarily the case. The man is just an empty frame, relying on crafts and the island.

Only with this tradition can we barely maintain the situation of polygamy.

Therefore, the owner of the thin island only has two wives, and the family is relatively harmonious. However, helping the island owner with four wives seems a little unable to do what he wants, and he often complains about the disputes at home.

And those women who never marry, although they uphold the ancient tradition, have become a scar that no one on the island wants to mention.

Where did the island owner go?

The owner of the thin island was clueless and walked through the town. This was the only rice noodle shop in the town. Opposite was the only Zizhu Inn in the town. Next to the inn was a quiet courtyard with a closed door.

The door was opened, with a soft creak, and a middle-aged woman with a rosy complexion walked out.

The owner of the thin island greeted her and said, "Fairy Fanzhu, long time no see."

As he looked inside the crack in the door, this courtyard seemed particularly mysterious to men. Even the fat and thin island owners could not enter or exit the courtyard at will.

Unexpectedly, Fairy Fanzhu said: "Second Island Master, since you have time to spare, come in and have a cup of tea."

The owner of the thin island was also very interested and walked into the courtyard.

The yard is filled with all kinds of bamboo bushes, and the paths are winding and green. At the end of the yard is a semicircular bamboo building with three floors and dozens of rooms. Because there are tall moso bamboos planted in front of the bamboo building, it will

The bamboo building is hidden among the dense bamboo leaves.

As I got closer, I saw several women downstairs, sitting scattered under the bamboos, each doing a small craft of female beauty.

On the bamboo floor, there were several women in the corridor.

Faced with these women, the owner of the thin island did not dare to be careless. Because they were all Bamboo Immortals on the island, and most of them were at the second or third level of martial arts warriors.

Some of these women have passed away in their prime, some are in their middle years, and only a few are still young.

This courtyard is called the Self-combing Bamboo Garden.

These women are all Bamboo Immortals who are determined never to marry.
