('The morning sun rises and the cold fog dissipates;
In the warm sunshine, the desolate Qingping County began to be bustling for the day; but the grand and luxurious Cheng Family Villa located in the center of the county was still deserted and solemn;
In front of the Beppu hall, Cheng Guiyun stood quietly on the spot without saying a word. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his steady breathing. However, all the Cheng family's servants in the hall lowered their heads.
Dare not take a breath;
"Master!"
At this moment, a black shadow flashed outside the hall, and the slave named Ji knelt down on one knee and whispered: "There is no sign of rebellion in the Leng family! Leng Zhengyuan was seriously injured, Leng Yi disappeared, and Zui
What the slaves said has been verified!"
"Master, Qingping County has not found any traces of the demon. He should have nothing to do with the Leng family;"
"Furthermore, the demon's cultivation level is not high, and he has taken away a useless person's body. It seems that his vision is average, and he can rule out a relationship with that person." An elder of the Cheng family with gray temples came up and whispered;
"Yeah;" Cheng Guiyun pressed lightly, then glanced at Cheng Luo who was on the stretcher outside the door, with a face full of horror until his death, waved his hand gently and said indifferently:
"Take it down and throw it away somewhere you like; you are a lowly slave who doesn't know how to behave, and will only cause trouble for me."
"Master," the elder whispered, "the demon only killed Cheng Luo, not anyone else, and he didn't stop me, Cheng, from collecting the debts of the Leng family this day. He must have just wanted to pay back a house."
love, and then..."
"Well, he has drawn a line;"
"It seems that I have traveled thousands of miles to get a piece of trash, but it's not without a little gain;"
Cheng Guiyun nodded slightly and said calmly: "I won't go back to Fucheng now. Today there are bonuses for various roads in Xichuan. I would like to take a look -"
Cheng Guiyun suddenly changed the topic and raised his eyes to look at the rising sun, a fierce and fierce light flashed in his eyes!
"Who is this Xichuan who dares to draw a line for me -"
"Bottom! Line!"
The golden morning sun shone on the desolate wild ridge. In front of a cold stream, Leng Yi stopped, leaned down with difficulty and buried his face in the stream water, drinking heavily like a cow.
"call……"
After the cold stream water poured into his hot stomach, Leng Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, then took out two cracked steamed buns from the package and wolfed them down!
Throughout the night, Leng Yi dragged his seriously injured body to the west, west, and west without stopping, amidst Lao Long's occasional scoldings and sarcasm. Not only did Lao Long not explain the purpose of going west, but the road he pointed out was also unclear.
It’s all rugged mountain roads…
At first, Leng Yi was full of grievances and grief, but gradually, he seemed to understand what Lao Long's word "protection" meant;
"Stop! It's quite clean here;"
Old Long's voice sounded again, but it was no longer full of impatience and acrimony as yesterday. He seemed to be slightly satisfied with Leng Yi's performance that night;
"Now let's talk about my plan; today, I will officially teach you the "Devouring Technique" and then upgrade your bloodline..."
"You seem to have forgotten that my meridians have been destroyed..." Leng Yi said indifferently while chewing the steamed bun;
If the meridians all over the body are completely disabled, not only will the internal strength be lost, but in the long run it will also lead to a decline in brain power, making it impossible to write or fight;
Leng Yi never dared to forget the great gift "given" by Cheng Guiyun. As long as there was a deal, he was not very worried, but now Lao Long didn't mention it at all;
"Stupid!" Old Long snorted disdainfully; "Meridians are invisible things. Wherever a person is, the meridians are there. If the meridians were really disabled, you would have died long ago!"
"The so-called abolition of the meridians is nothing more than blocking them with external force, causing the flow of qi and blood to be blocked! Don't worry, I have already removed the vitality that Cheng Guiyun put into your body!"
Leng Yi frowned when he heard this, and he doubtfully used his internal energy for a while, but found that his internal energy was running smoothly and his martial arts skills were intact, so he was relieved;
Under the guidance of the old dragon, Leng Yi found a small cave not far from the creek. After limping to clean the cave and covering it with withered grass to keep out the cold, it was already sunset;
"First of all, I will give you a complete explanation of what the "Eating Technique" is;" when Leng Yi sat down cross-legged, Lao Long said;
"The first realm of "The Secret of Devouring": the word-grabbing realm..."
Since Leng Yi had already accepted the deal, Lao Long explained the true meaning of "The Secret of Devouring" without reservation;
However, although Leng Yi had been mentally prepared for a long time, he still felt cold all over during the learning process. Not only was his heart filled with fierce struggles, it was even mixed with more and more entanglements and pain!
If you seize the surplus from others, you will make up for my shortcomings; if you hurt yourself and others, you will die nine times in your life!
By robbing others of the fruits of their blood and tears, one's own strength increases by leaps and bounds; however, in the balance of heaven, practitioners have to pay a very heavy price for this. Not only do they almost die during the cultivation process, but nine out of ten of them will not end well!
Old Long used the superficial meaning of this sixteen-character general outline to cruelly show the young man a path of blood and tears full of darkness and desolation!
This is evil...
Once you enter the evil path, you will never return;
No matter how desperate a practitioner is at the beginning and how painfully he steps into this path, he will eventually get lost in the huge temptation and fall deeper and deeper until he is beyond redemption!
"This method is too cruel and harmful to the world! I don't want to teach you this method! However, your useless bloodline can only do this!"
Old Long continued in a deep voice: "If you follow your original plan, learn skills in one place, become apprentices in all directions, and follow the legendary path of cultivation, you will never be able to defeat Cheng Guiyun in your ten lifetimes;"
"Um……"
Leng Yi just hummed lightly. Although he was full of resentment towards the old dragon, he understood very well that if his bloodline wanted to achieve success in the righteous path, there was little hope;
Under the blood-like setting sun, the piercing cold wind blew the young man's withered long hair, leaving a trace of vicissitudes of life silently in the delicate eyes; but more, it was helplessness and bitterness...
"The so-called 'take away the surplus from others and make up for my deficiencies', its deep meaning is to use extremely cruel methods to forcibly deprive the power of blood from other people's blood in order to explode the shackles of one's own blood and release the hidden potential..." Old Long
Said extremely slowly;
The power of blood is a kind of original power of blood obtained by monks in Lanchuan Continent after developing the potential of blood through practicing magic formulas. It is the basis of monks' cultivation;
Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the bloodline, the greater the potential of the bloodline, and the stronger the power of the bloodline developed; if this power can be well utilized, the higher the monk's cultivation level will be;
And Leng Yi wants to seize this original power to make up for the extremely low level of his own bloodline;
The stronger the power taken, the more effectively it can make up for the shortcomings;
"The so-called 'hurt yourself and others, and you will die nine times in your life', its deep meaning is to burn your own lifespan and then eat it;" Lao Long continued to explain;
"Is that the day you said, 'Sacrifice my ten years of life'?" Leng Yi's cheeks were twitching slightly, and he tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body and whispered;
He finally understood why Lao Long said at first that this technique must be practiced by young people...
"That's right;" Lao Long affirmed, "You must have the power to surpass the other party in order to successfully seize;"
"This is also the price you pay for gaining ten times more power than yourself; if you indulge in this kind of power and use it too much, it will consume you alive. This is another meaning of nine-death life; and -"
Old Long suddenly paused slightly, and then said very slowly:
"In the process of seizing the bite, you not only have to burn life span, but also have to withstand the impact and backlash of the power of other people's blood. The whole process is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your soul..."
"This means hurting yourself first, then hurting others; hurting others is serious and hurting yourself deeply!"
"However, in addition to testing the limits of your body's strength, I also tested the limits of your bloodline's strength. Before your cultivation level breaks away from the 'bottom monk', that is, before you reach the seventh level of body tempering, no matter how much life you burn,
How many times there is, ten times is already the limit;”
"clear;"
Leng Yi nodded numbly, his tight body was already stiff and cold, and his always strong heart was full of painful struggles -
There is not only an extreme desire for power, but also a deep fear of the future!
"Okay!" Old Long regained his usual seriousness and said in a deep voice: "You already know the outline, let's start practicing now;"
"Remember! You only have three chances to practice at most, so take advantage of it!"
three times……
A trace of sadness flashed in Leng Yi's eyes; he didn't say anything, just bit his lip, trying desperately to calm down, then stood up, and under the guidance of Lao Long, he began to get familiar with the specific movements bit by bit...
The principle and method of performing "The Devouring Technique" are very simple. Leng Yi followed it a few times and understood the key;
However, all skills in the world are of the same essence, and any skill cannot be separated from the word "practice";
Cultivation techniques are the same as martial arts secrets. It is one thing for the brain to understand; but to be able to truly do it with the body requires thousands of exercises and countless revisions before it can be truly understood;
However, Leng Yi only had three opportunities to practice!
Because every time the "Devouring Technique" is used, at least three years of life must be sacrificed; and when the bloodline is upgraded, in order to minimize the variables, at least seven years of life must be paid, plus that day at the Leng family...
…
In the past thirty years...this is still the bottom line of longevity after three integrations and one successful upgrade!
If you are a little careless...
The "Nine Deaths in a Lifetime" turned out to be so tragic and cruel!
The sun rises and sets, time passes, more than two months pass in the blink of an eye, and the land of Xichuan has already entered the bitter cold winter;
For more than two months, Leng Yi has been living a life of asceticism. When he is thirsty, he lies down by the stream and drinks water. When he is hungry, he picks fruits and catches birds. The rest of the time is spent except sleeping.
practice like an obsession;
Because there is no way out, he is more cautious. Every move, every luck, Leng Yi has to evolve hundreds or thousands of times in his mind, and he only dares to make it when he has sufficient confidence;
However, in addition to physical suffering, Leng Yi also has to endure inner torture all the time...
Although the target of the attack is definitely a heinous person who has never been short of in this world;
but……
Cheng Luo's miserable death situation clearly flashed through Leng Yi's mind from time to time!
In this way, the young man spent nearly a hundred long and torturous days and nights, until another evening when the setting sun was like blood...
"How do you feel?" Old Long's long-lost voice slowly sounded;
"Okay, when will we set off?" Leng Yi said in a deep voice, his eyes full of determination and confidence, but he could not hide the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes;
"That's good;" Old Long just responded lightly, and then he saw a ball of white light flying out from Leng Yiyintang's cave, and an exquisite and simple jade box appeared on the rock in front of him;
“My family’s ‘heritage’!”
Looking at the jade box, Leng Yi frowned. He always thought that Lao Long took this thing just to stop the secret thoughts, and the rest was kept for Leng Yi temporarily;
Leng Yi didn't think that Old Long would care about the little baby of the Leng family;
But, what does upgrading bloodline have to do with this?');
