Chapter 5: Swallowing the Yuan and Supplementing the Marrow
When the old man asked about his "parents", he made up a random excuse to fool him.
He knows the situation of the old man's family, so he can deal with some of the old man's problems easily.
At night, everything is silent, the bright moon hangs high, and the cool breeze blows.
After putting Grandma Ge to bed, Li Yu sat cross-legged on the bed in the room that Grandma Ge had prepared for him.
He opened his sleeves, revealing the blood boil curse on his arm.
This dark red bloodstain was entangled on his arm. It was as thick as a little finger and about half a foot long, like a scarlet centipede!
I don't know if it was his illusion, but Li Yu clearly felt that the color of the blood stain was darker than during the day, and even the cold and strange energy entrenched in his arm seemed to be stronger.
Affected by this, his body felt a little chilly and he felt as if he had caught a cold.
Looking at the blood boil curse on his arm, Li Yu's face was as dark as water and he remained silent.
He could feel that this blood boil curse was slowly eating away at his blood and vitality, and was even subtly affecting his sanity!
If time passes, he will probably gradually lose himself, his consciousness will dissipate, he will die, and his whole person will become a half-corpse, half-trick slave, and eventually he will be driven by others.
Fortunately, although Li Yu was unable to solve the blood boil curse, relying on his vision and experience in his previous life, he could at least delay it for a while.
This strange curse is obviously eating away at his blood and polluting his spirit. To solve it, he must first strengthen his energy and spirit.
In this way, we can delay it for a while.
"Swallowing Yuan and Replenishing Marrow Gong" can do this.
This method was accidentally acquired by Li Yu in his previous life. It is not a Taoist book that can refine the true energy, but a health-preserving method that strengthens the foundation, cultivates the essence, and replenishes the essence.
The Taoist books in the Digan Realm all have strict hierarchies.
The order from low to high is: ordinary quality - exquisite quality - side quality - mysterious quality - authentic quality - magical quality - peerless quality - legendary quality - supreme quality.
This Taoist book is of ordinary quality, not even exquisite quality, but it has one benefit.
Although this method is quite superficial, it can refine Qi through "eating", nourish the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi and Shen, making him strong quickly.
It is precisely because of this that the value of this Taoist book is by no means inferior to ordinary Taoist books of exquisite quality!
With Li Yu's wisdom, he had a thorough understanding of the "Swallowing Yuan and Marrow Replenishing Technique" a long time ago. In some aspects, he was even better than his previous master and had a higher understanding.
So I can start practicing now without any problem.
He just did what he said, and then he let his mind go and his thoughts were empty, and his whole person immediately entered the state.
Even the breathing rhythm has changed.
The changes are sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes the breathing is rapid and fierce, like the breath of a spiritual snake, and sometimes it is slow and long, like a black turtle taking in its breath.
Three long and nine short, fast and slow, orderly, and the rhythm is quite mysterious.
Qi and blood in the body circulate faster, and gastrointestinal motility accelerates.
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
Two hours later, Li Yu felt that his newly full stomach had disappeared, and the food in his stomach had been completely digested.
At the same time, a warm current rose up and turned into countless small streams flowing through his limbs and bones and everywhere in his body.
In an instant, his whole body felt as if he had been soaked in a hot spring, warm and very comfortable.
When the warm current was exhausted, Li Yu felt that his weak and cold body had become warmer, and he even gained some strength. Even his mental state improved a lot.
The only discordant thing was the gurgling sound coming from his stomach.
He is hungry again...
...
He found half a sheet of bread from the kitchen to simply pad his stomach. After returning to his room, Li Yu began to think about his next plan.
Currently, he has two urgent things that he needs to do as soon as possible.
1. Obtain the Chilong jade from the Liu Mansion, obtain the Taoist inheritance behind it, and become a practitioner.
Second, solve the curse of blood boil.
The Blood Boil Yin Curse was okay. With the "Swallowing Yuan and Marrow Replenishing Technique", at least he didn't have to worry too much in the short term.
As for the Chilong Remnant Jade, there is a special inheritance hidden behind this thing, and Li Yu must get it.
The two evil cultivators in the Liu Mansion were a problem, but Li Yu wasn't too worried.
He was only seeking to obtain the Chilong Remnant Jade, and he was not directly confronting two evil cultivators. Therefore, although the matter was difficult, it was not impossible.
In addition, according to his calculations, in half a year, many players known as the "Fourth Natural Disaster" will continue to descend on the Earthly World.
Existences like players have always been synonymous with chaos, profit-seeking, greed, and instability, and each of them is a bold master who dares to do almost anything.
When the players come to this world, relying on their immortality, they will cause some waves and break the previous peace of the Digan world.
And judging from the girl who carries the blood boil curse today, the evil catastrophe that will only appear in the next year has already begun to take shape!
The Demon Catastrophe is a catastrophe that sweeps across the entire Earthly Realm. In the early stages, many demons and ghosts will breed, causing trouble in the world, and attracting many hermit sects and casual cultivators to come to the world to kill demons.
In the middle and later stages, there will be many strange places, death forbidden areas, ghost kingdoms and other terrifying forbidden areas popping up.
Then a group of demons danced wildly, evil spirits were rampant, and demons were rampant.
At that time, the world of Digan will truly be in turmoil!
At that time, let alone ordinary people, even low-level cultivators will be as weak as ants. Only high-level cultivators will have a certain ability to protect themselves.
The future will be full of twists and turns...
Li Yu felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
He knows very well that he must quickly become stronger before the players arrive!
In this way, after the players arrive, he will have the opportunity to use his NPC identity to deceive the players, make a fortune, set foot in some dangerous areas, explore certain opportunities in his memory, and enhance his strength step by step.
In this way, he can survive and occupy a place in the future evil catastrophe.
Otherwise, if one step is slow, then every step will be slow.
Once his strength is insufficient, he will lose many opportunities to rise in the future.
...
One month later, early morning.
In the yard, Li Yu was chopping firewood with an iron ax in his hand.
The heavy iron ax moved like flying in his hand, as light as nothing.
With one stroke of the ax, the wood was split evenly.
After chopping a pile of wood, there was a faint trace of sweat on Li Yu's forehead. He put down the ax refreshed and pulled a towel to wipe the sweat.
At this time, he has a strong body and is at least an inch taller than a month ago.
The skinny and skinny body on his body has disappeared, replaced by plump and powerful muscle lines with sharp edges, and the proportions of his frame and body are also approaching perfect smoothness.
Coupled with those bright and energetic eyes and that delicate and fair face.
Compared with a month ago, he is as different as the sky and the earth. No one can tell that he is the same person!
