It has to be said that Ma Yuan's cave is indeed shabby and not worthy of his status as an immortal. However, this is also because he has put all his energy on the twelve bones of gods and demons over the years, so he has not accumulated much wealth.
Qi Yuan had made a lot of calculations before, but in the end he came with the hope of getting a treasure and left with full of disappointment.
"This poor guy!"
Qi Yuan cursed secretly in his heart.
Shi Ji, on the other hand, found the technique practiced by Ma Yuan and studied it carefully. She felt that although this technique belonged to a side sect, there were some things in it that she could learn from and could draw parallels.
For example, this skill not only includes the method of sacrificing the bones of gods and demons in the twelve Yuan Dynasties, but also the method of refining the bones of gods and demons into incarnations outside the body.
This was an unexpected surprise, and Shi Ji looked a little happy.
It's not that she wants to refine Ma Yuan's Bone Demon God into her own incarnation. As a disciple of Xuanmen, she is unwilling to be contaminated by such evil things.
Ma Yuan sacrificed the bones to gods and demons and transformed them into external incarnations. As a result, these bones to gods and demons had flaws and could not suppress their evil spirits, which made him like to eat people's hearts raw.
Regarding this, Shi Ji felt sick when he thought about it.
However, it has to be said that although these heretical methods are not in line with the fundamental path, they are often ingenious and have some unique methods that make people shine.
Shi Ji can learn from this method, understand the technique that suits him, and use other treasures to refine an incarnation.
In this way, even if she becomes an official in heaven in the future, she can send incarnations to do things, and she can still be at ease.
…………
In the Bone Cave, Shiji and Qi Yuan sat down as guests and hosts respectively. Caiyun Tong'er picked some spiritual fruits with great discernment and placed them on the jade table in front of Qi Yuan.
The fragrance of these spiritual fruits overflowed, which made Qi Yuan a little greedy, but he was not in a hurry, he just took two fruits and handed them to Qi Yi beside him.
The child had been running around for a day and was already starving. He reached out to take the spiritual fruit and started eating it.
Qi Yuan touched his head and sighed: "This child has a hidden disease and is still unable to speak. Is there any way to cure him?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shi Ji turned to look at Qi Yi, and a flash of light flashed in his clear and bright eyes.
When Qi Yi, who was chewing the spirit fruit, saw her like this, he was immediately startled, as if his whole body had been penetrated by her.
After looking at it for a moment, the light in Shi Ji's eyes dissipated, and then he counted with his fingers, and then nodded and said: "This child must have suffered a lot in his early years. He has many hidden injuries on his body. It is not easy to survive to this day. As for
The main reason for not being able to speak is that no one taught me when I was young, I didn’t speak for a long time, and I also had a withdrawn personality and an injury to my throat, so I gradually became unable to speak.”
Qi Yuan sighed softly after hearing this.
Although he didn't know much about what happened to this child in his early years, he could still guess what kind of life he lived.
This is also the reason why he has special sympathy for Qi Yi. After all, Qi Yuan is just a small person, and he has always maintained some kindness in his heart. After getting along with Qi Yi for so long, he has long regarded the well-behaved and sensible Qi Yi as his own child.
.
This is why Qi Yi is always so clinging to him.
Although Qi Yi is young, he used to hunt in the wild and often faced attacks from ferocious beasts. The long-term training between life and death has made his perception extremely sharp. He can naturally feel whether Qi Yuan is truly good to him.
"I will make a furnace of elixir for him to strengthen his body and cultivate his energy. It can heal the hidden wounds on his body so as not to be detrimental to his practice in the future."
Shi Ji said: "There is also a Tongqiao fruit behind my cave. After taking it, he can speak without any problems. However, it is not mature yet. He will have to wait for several months before it matures."
"Isn't this... too troublesome for your Majesty?"
Although Qi Yuan was happy that Qi Yi could be cured, he heard that he still had to wait for several months. Wouldn't this delay Empress Shiji's ascension for several months?
Shi Ji chuckled: "It's not troublesome. After I refine the elixir, I plan to go directly to the heaven to seek an official position. From then on, I will live in the heaven forever. There is no way back from this bone cave. Sir, I only need to wait for the spiritual fruit to mature and help
I will just seal the cave."
Qi Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. The spiritual energy in Shiji's cave was extremely rich. If he could practice here for a period of time, it would be of great benefit to him.
"Well, thank you very much, Madam. I will definitely seal the cave for your Majesty."
Shi Ji chuckled and waved his hand: "Sir, you don't have to be like this. If I hadn't heard that you have the ambition to teach your skills to the people of the world, Shi Ji would have just given this bone cave to you. He won't need it in the future anyway."
After a pause, Shi Ji took out the string of white bone beads and handed them to Qi Yuan, saying: "Although the land of Kyushu belongs to the human race, there are also many demons in the mountains and forests. When you travel around, you will inevitably encounter some dangers.
, you can sacrifice these Twelve Yuan Chen White Bone Gods and Demons, and even if they cannot exert their full power, they will be enough to deal with ordinary monsters."
Qi Yuan, who had just taken the bone bead, trembled when he heard this and dropped the bone bead to the ground in fright.
"My Lady, please don't harm me. Even though this thing is powerful, I am from the human race and I don't dare to eat people's hearts like Ma Yuan did."
Are you kidding? He, Qi Yuan, is just an ordinary person. Even in this cruel world, he has never killed anyone until now, let alone let him disembowel and disembowel people like Ma Yuan.
It's impossible to dig out people's hearts and eat them, even to kill him.
Thinking back to the scene where Ma Yuansheng cannibalized people's hearts, he shuddered and couldn't help but shudder.
Shi Ji smiled: "Sir, there is no need to panic. Since I gave you this thing, I naturally have a way to solve the hidden dangers."
"oh?"
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
If there were no hidden dangers, of course he would be totally willing.
Not long ago, he had just witnessed the power of this white-bone god and demon. With such a powerful treasure in his hands, it was impossible for him to walk sideways on the ancient land...!
However, at least in the future I no longer have to worry about encountering any random little monsters and needing to run away for my life.
"Sir, do you know why my cave is called the White Bone Cave?"
Shi Ji looked at Qi Yuan with a smile.
"I don't know." Qi Yuan quickly suppressed his excitement and replied honestly.
Shi Ji looked a bit nostalgic and said softly: "When I transformed in this Skeleton Mountain, I was ignorant and lowly. Unlike other demon clans, which still have blood inheritance, I transformed into a stubborn stone. In addition to my talent,
Apart from magical powers, there is no inheritance in me."
"In order to create a practice method, I have traveled to every corner of Skull Mountain, looking for spiritual objects, comprehending the Taoist charms on it, and creating a method suitable for my practice."
"Since Skull Mountain is an ancient battlefield, the most numerous corpses here are all kinds of corpses, so I have collected a lot of spiritual bones with strong Taoist charms."
"Later, when Ma Yuan came to Skull Mountain, he found the bones of twelve ancient monks with great magical powers, and he sacrificed them into white-bone gods and demons. But the core Taoist bones had been taken away by me, so the bones he had sacrificed
The gods and demons have flaws. After being refined into external incarnations, they are unable to suppress the evil energy in the body of the white-bone gods and demons, so they swallow the blood of other people's hearts to suppress the evil energy."
Shi Ji smiled and said: "The reason why I didn't agree to give those spiritual bones to Ma Yuan is that after I became successful in cultivation, I used those spiritual bones as formation eyes to set up a palace-protecting formation. Of course, I couldn't just do it for an outsider.
I dismantled my formation to protect the cave."
"Furthermore, he has too much evil spirit and is not like a kind person. He is also arrogant and domineering. He wants to ask for things from me without giving anything. I don't want to encourage such evil people."
"Now that I am going to heaven to serve as an official, this cave will no longer be used. Later I will go find those spiritual bones to help you make up for the flaws of these bones of gods and demons. As long as you are careful in the future, there should be no problems.
What's up."
"In addition, let me teach you another set of techniques. The techniques you have are too crude."
Qi Yuan's Taoism was shallow and his magic power was low. Shi Ji could tell at a glance that what he practiced was the most superficial Qi training method. It was impossible to achieve any great achievements after practicing this kind of method for a lifetime.
Qi Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him profusely.
Shi Ji waved his hand: "There is no need for this, it is just an ordinary skill that I obtained when I traveled to the ancient times. You are not a disciple of my Jie Jiao, but I cannot teach you the Taoist methods of Jie Jiao."
She also did this to repay Qi Yuan, so as not to repay the debt she owed, which would lead to other causes and consequences in the future.
