In front of a large red cauldron with a round outside and a square inside, Chen Heng divided the Taishi Yuan Zhen into dozens of bundles and slowly circled around the cauldron.
When the two come into contact, a sizzling, high-pitched sound will burst out from time to time, just like when water is poured on burning coals, the smoke will rise violently and the sound will be loud.
In the palm of his hand, he held a handful of red cucumber the size of a chicken egg, which was bright and bright in color.
While it is shaking, you can still vaguely see a dark crystal liquid hidden in the sand and gravel, which is rolling around endlessly.
This sand and gravel is the main material for refining red lead macrophage.
Under the guidance of Cui Jingzhong, Chen Heng slowly peeled off the outer layer of the sand and gravel to extract the real medicinal roots inside and refine them into the cauldron.
But this time.
After hearing the shouts outside the alchemy hall.
Not only was Cui Jingzhong on the side stunned at first, but then his face showed joy.
Even Chen Heng's eyes flickered and he immediately stood up from the futon.
"Junior brother, this day has finally come. What a joy! What a joy! The True Lord has a humble temperament. You don't need to be too restrained. Just behave as usual."
Cui Jingzhong patted his belly and said with a smile:
"That voice sounded like Qiao Ting's voice outside the palace just now? I didn't expect that she came to call me in person, which is rare.
You should leave the palace quickly, don't make Qiao Ting wait too long, and then she will get angry again."
Chen Heng nodded and said yes, straightened his clothes and strode towards the outside of the alchemy hall.
After passing through the restriction of the closed door, I passed two large volleying pillars supporting the pavilion door.
Only a beautiful woman with skin as jade as snow was seen standing coldly at the foot of the stairs.
There was a look of impatience between the brows, and there might be a hint of undetectable confusion in it, but it was quickly suppressed.
"How dare you keep me waiting for so long? Are you deaf just now? This is the call of the true king!"
When I hear footsteps approaching from far away.
Qiao Ting frowned Yanqiao's beautiful eyebrows and was about to scold her, but when she turned her head, she was stunned.
On top of the long stone steps.
What caught his eye was a slender and tall figure.
Wearing a cool azure Taoist robe and a lotus crown on his head, he looks like a lone pine among the rocks, standing against the light, with a blurred face.
"My dear lady, please wait for a long time."
He walked down the steps step by step, the halo dissipated, and his features gradually became clearer.
His demeanor was solemn and quiet, his sleeves swaying lightly.
All of a sudden.
Qiao Ting was stunned for a moment, her eyes dazed for a moment.
"Please, noble lady, please take me to see the true king."
He slapped his head and said.
"..."
Qiao Ting brushed away a few strands of hair blown by the wind on her temples, and her eyelashes slowly fluttered.
After a while.
Without saying a word, he turned around and walked back.
It is an interesting scene with its gold-topped ornaments and pines and cypresses.
Along the road, many servant boys and maids knelt down and saluted after seeing Qiao Tiao, with a respectful attitude.
And when he saw a strange man next to Qiao Ting.
Although they were all surprised, they did not dare to show it on their faces, but there was a slight flash of thought in their eyes.
soon.
The two of them reached the highest point of the terrain, the vast palace with a simple yet strange style.
When the yellow pus ghosts and gods who were sealed in the golden drum saw the arrival of a stranger, they became even more manic and restless. Their eyes shot out blazing fire, their mouths spit out fog, and their fangs were ferocious!
No matter how much he creates earth-shaking noises in the golden drum, there is not a trace of sound that can be leaked to the present world...
Chen Heng glanced briefly, then looked no further and continued walking forward.
And this time.
Just before entering the palace.
Qiao Ting suddenly stopped and said softly:
"Go down by yourself. The restriction has been opened. There will be strong men inside to guide you."
"Thank you."
Chen Heng nodded when he heard this.
"Don't forget...don't forget what I told you before..."
Qiao Ting's eyes flashed.
After a moment, he spoke slowly.
"My dear lady, you can rest assured that I am not a repeating villain."
Chen Heng smiled, waved his sleeves, strode forward and walked through the palace door.
Bang——
In this way, you pass through an invisible curtain and enter a world that is completely different from the first.
The vision was so dark.
Not only did the spirit become extremely dark, but the true energy in the body disappeared, even the qi and blood disappeared like a burned out candle.
All of a sudden.
My body is empty, nothingness, my mind is chaotic...
It wasn't until dozens of breaths passed that he inexplicably returned to his original state.
There are no miscellaneous decorations in the hall on this floor. There is only a landscape screen in the main position.
Seeing Chen Heng looking at it, the object immediately swayed slightly, like waves in a lake, and soon a majestic warrior wearing colorful yellow clothes, dragon-head boots, and carrying two golden melons jumped out from inside.
After the golden melon warrior appeared, he didn't say much. After bowing to Chen Heng, he opened a secret door, stretched out his hand to guide the way, and led him down.
After passing through twenty-four floors of winding corridors and countless cave doors, we finally arrived at the bottom floor of the palace.
After Jin Gua Lishi brought Chen Heng here, he smiled and said:
"Distinguished guest, please wait for a moment. I don't dare to stay here without the imperial edict, for fear of polluting my breath, so I will return to Fuyu Realm first."
Say it.
He arched his back, not daring to make any more noise.
Then he tiptoed out and disappeared.
Chen Heng looked intently and saw that although the main hall on this floor was vast and boundless, it was also very cold and deserted, with very little life.
In the main hall, there is a cave the size of a house. There are fences erected around the cave, surrounded by lapis lazuli fences, giving people a very ancient and wild feeling.
With a sudden thought, he walked to the fence and looked down into the cave.
If the earth's axis is shaking secretly, the sky is shaking!
But under the cave, there is a turbulent and turbulent tide full of yin and turmoil, raging and violent, almost taking on an infinite shape!
The momentum is huge and terrifying!
But it seemed to be captured by a mighty force of creation. No matter how much it rolled and jumped, it could not fly away from the cave, and could only spin in vain below.
I don’t know how many thousands of feet deep this cave is. If it leads directly to the real netherworld, the underground underworld...
Chen Heng's current eyesight is still far from being able to see through it.
After just looking at it for a while, I felt that my mind and body were captured by the turbid and yin currents, and my breathing became rough and stagnant.
"Is the true king practicing in seclusion in this cave? The power of a person with great supernatural powers is really terrifying and terrifying."
He couldn't help but sigh in his mind, and then lowered his hands and waited for a long time, but saw that no call came from the cave.
Then he found a place in the corner of the hall, sat down on the floor, closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and began to ponder the elixir taught by Cui Jingzhong.
Because this hall is close to the turbid currents in the cave, it is extremely cold and damp. Sprinkling water in the air can instantly melt the ice.
Don’t talk about ordinary creatures.
Even ordinary cultivators can hardly resist, unable to bear the pain that pierces the muscles and bones...
However, due to the cultivation of True Qi and Taisu Jade Body, although Chen Heng also felt a little wet and cold, it was not impossible to bear it.
I was immersed in it and soon stopped paying attention...
And after an unknown amount of time.
While he was concentrating, he suddenly felt a strange sword energy entering his body. It was moving up and down in his meridians, as if he was swimming following some mysterious true rhythm.
"This is?"
Chen Heng was slightly startled and just about to open his eyes.
Suddenly a voice sounded in his mind: "Don't panic. I see that you are only one step away from the second stage - the transformation of sword intention. I am here to help you with my little strength."
"True Lord?"
The voice said with a warm smile:
"Observe the form of the sword energy, see how it swims among your meridians, and then use a stream of true energy to capture it. If you can capture it, it will be time for you to achieve the state of 'sword energy transformed into form'. "
Finished speaking.
The voice in my head disappeared without a trace and never sounded again.
Chen Heng calmed down, took a deep breath, and carefully observed the sword energy in his body for a while, and finally realized something.
But I think it was too late to make a dragon shape.
Sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, sometimes hidden and sometimes visible, sometimes bright and sometimes extinguished——
When it makes a sound.
Just like, the golden snake stirred up electricity from the bottom of the pond, and the thunderbolt roared.
A time of silence.
Just like, the white water has no waves and the turtles are crouching, while the green mountains are soothing after the first bath...
Chen Heng watched the sword energy move around in his body for several days, and then the corresponding shape and changes were completely displayed.
Only then did he shake the sea of qi slightly, pull out a stream of true qi, and kill it with the force of an owl and an eagle attacking a rabbit!
Both sides chased each other for dozens of rounds.
That sword energy is as slippery as a loach, and it is always about to be trapped by the true energy, at the critical moment.
You can always spot the small empty door and run away.
"This change...is this what it is?"
After spending dozens of strands of true Qi trying to capture it, I suddenly noticed the traces left by the sword energy as it passed through.
The two reflected each other, and Chen Heng was inspired.
Simply let go of your mind and spirit, no longer deliberately obsess, just follow the thread of inspiration that comes from somewhere, and let your true energy take action.
This time, it was even more difficult to dodge the sword energy. Although in the end, he managed to avoid it again and again, Chen Heng didn't take it seriously.
He already felt that he had found the right path forward.
As for the actual capture of Li Na, it is just a matter of time and requires some hard work...
Soon, it was less than half a cup of tea.
The sword energy and true energy turned around suddenly, but they collided in one place. It was no coincidence.
This collision.
It's like putting a pot of boiling oil into the fire, and it suddenly bursts out with fire!
Chen Heng's mind was also shaken, like a jade rock being knocked lightly.
In a moment of great enlightenment, my mind becomes clear, like dust and ashes dispersing, and it emits light.
He opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed, and then shot out a sharp sword energy, which was five or six feet long, with a cold light.
Its speed is as fast as thunder and its sharpness is unstoppable!
"Sword Qi, both the sword energy and the sword energy can be emitted... The second level of swordsmanship - the transformation of sword intention has finally been achieved."
This sword points out.
Just like when the last small pure Yang thunder split, it was the same feeling.
Chen Heng resisted the urge to call out the Qinglu Sword and practice it, and bowed down to the cave, saying:
"Thank you, True Lord, for your mercy and enabling me to practice my humble way!"
"He who helps himself, God helps him."
In the cave.
Boundless depths.
Sitting on the jade platform, Qiao Yubi, who was bound by four Longshuo nine-color chains, smiled lightly and said:
"If you weren't just one step away from cultivating sword energy, even if I wanted to help you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy."
"Chen Heng."
He said:
"I know that you have been confused about your life experience for so long. Others dare not speak or tell others, for fear of offending Chen Yushu and the Xiantian Demon Sect, and encountering the hostility of that magician, but I don't care.
This time.
Let me clear up your doubts."
Chen Heng's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
Even with his Qi-nurturing skills, when he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel excited and couldn't hide his joy!
The confusion surrounding this body's life experience is like dense clouds and mist.
Ever since he embarked on the path of practicing Qi.
It was always covering the top door, blocking the way, making it difficult for him to see the way forward.
Every step forward is filled with confusion and confusion, and requires a lot of thinking before settling down.
I'm afraid that if I make the wrong step, I will suffer an irreversible end!
When Patriarch Fu Shen left, he was the closest to knowing the life experience of this body.
However, there may be external obstacles, or Fu Shen Ancestor may have other concerns.
In the end, there is still more to say...
And all these things will finally come to an end!
Chen Heng clenched his fingers on his big sleeves.
After a while.
He raised his eyes slightly to cover the bulging light in his eyes, bowed his head solemnly, and said:
"Please give me your true advice without hesitation!"
Qiao Yubi said slowly:
"Chen Heng, you are indeed from a distinguished family in Yuneixuan. Your ancestor Chen Qianzheng once succeeded your father and was one of the thirteen great spiritual officials under the rule of the Lord of the Demon Land.
Later, when the old emperor passed away, the princes fought for the throne and fought with each other.
Your Liezu made a wrong bet. Almost all the entire clan was wiped out by the Xindi Lord of the Demonic Land. Only your great-grandfather was left alive. He was taken away from the Demonic Land by his servants and surrendered to the Zhu Jingtian Shenxiao Sect.
Learn Taoism.
After your great-grandfather cultivated the immortal path and returned to the void, he returned to the Demonic Land and executed the Earth Lord of the Demonic Land. With the support of the sect, he dominated the land and became the new Earth Lord.
However, he had only been in power for two thousand years, and Xu Huangtian started a war with Zhu Jingsheng.
Xuhuangtian won a great victory, the entire Shenxiao sect was annihilated, your great-grandfather died miserably, and even the Demonic Land was smashed into powder by a casual blow from Xuhuangtian God King.
After that.
That is your grandfather Chen Yu.
He was lucky enough to escape because he was visiting friends in three lifetimes away..."
That’s it.
Qiao Yubi's voice became slightly more solemn and she sighed:
"Your grandfather Chen Yushi was one of the most talented and beautiful people in the world, and it was hard to match him in the world!
When his family was wiped out and he was wanted by Xuhuangtian, he actually achieved the Supreme Divine Way and led a group of generals including the Great Sage Zhulong to attack Xuhuangtian.
After that, he destroyed countless divine kingdoms and invaded the sea and land.
After giving birth to your father Chen Yushu.
He even drove out the old god-king of Xuhuangtian with all his strength, and made all the gods regard him as the master. He was named the 'Chi Jing Tao Rong Wanfu God-King' and unified the entire sky of Xuhuang with majesty!"
Chen Heng's eyes flashed and he was silent.
"Then, it's your father Chen Yushu.
Although I don’t know why he was expelled by your grandfather and traveled all the way to Xudutian in misery, the birth of this person is indeed the precursor of a monstrous demonic disaster..."
Qiao Yubi paused for a moment, then spoke again, her voice indifferent:
"He was once taken in by the Dou Shu Sect, and even became a disciple of the Taoist Lord Shenwu Shuhua.
Before Chen Yushu betrayed the sect and joined the Xiantian Demon Sect.
Me, Zhijie and him.
They are good friends who can talk to each other about anything and can support each other through life and death."
