Chapter 18: The Way to Refining the Heart

Since Shen Chong perfected this formula, he has not had a chance to test it. This time, even Shen Chong himself was shocked by the power of the "sky fire burning city", but the true qi of the whole body has been emptied by one-third, and the body is like fire. The true qi is boiling. The blood spit out is red hot, and he dare not stay more. Expand with all your strength and swim around. In a short time, he collected sixty or seventy demon nuclei and rushed out of the trial cave.

Seven or eight people have come out of the cave, and the two innate disciples have already come out, looking at ease and quite relaxed. Shen Chongzhen was a little exhausted and a little embarrassed. He handed over the demon core to Brother Li's hand, so he sat on the ground and rested cross-legged.

Brother Li took the demon core, looked at it, put it aside, and continued to close his eyes to refresh his mind.

Not long after long, some people came out of the trial cave one after another. Some were excited and some were depressed, but without exception, they all had injuries. Just as the hour was coming, another person rushed out of the trial cave, which was Ji Xuan.

He looked embarrassed, with blood on the corners of his mouth, and his clothes on his body were broken, but there was no trauma. From the tear of his clothes, he could see the golden light flashing inside. Obviously, he was wearing a high-quality inner armor. Looking at the long sword in his hand, there was a faint flow of treasure light on the blade, and the coldness was fierce, and blood dripping from the sword body. It seemed that it was With two magic weapons, he got out of the siege.

Brother Li nodded to Ji Xuan without saying anything. He acquiesced in passing the examination with the magic weapon. The magic weapon of the martial arts practitioner is also part of his strength.

"Okay, it's time," Brother Li opened his eyes, got up, slowly looked at the few people who came out, and reported the results of the assessment: "Ninety-seven disciples participated in the assessment this time, 14 were stale, thirty-six passed, twenty-eight people did not get the prescribed number of demon nuclei, and 19 others died."

Brother Li's expression remained unchanged and continued to say, "Fourteen givers bombarded the Three Holy Sects and could not step into half a step for the rest of their lives. The dead made up three non-wang pills in his family, and the rest gave out one coagulation elixir for him to heal his wounds. Those who pass the assessment will report to the Mingwang Hall at noon tomorrow.

The color of the blood clotting elixir is red, but there is a trace of coolness when you buy it. Obviously, it is a healing holy medicine. Everyone is injured. Many people take it on the spot under the hair of the elixir. Shen Chong just has a little loss of true qi and no trauma. This blood clotting elixir does not need to be taken, so it is put in his arms.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen rushed out of the house. After a night of recuperation, he removed more than half of the physical burden brought by the Tianhuo burning city. Unexpectedly, he felt that his physique was also a little tougher. Could this heart-burning three-style can also be used for refining the body?

During Shen Chongzheng's thinking, a teenager came towards him.

"Brother Tai is really awesome. He can cut down a hundred blood bats in one move. I admire and admire him." The teenager reported boxing.

"Are you...?"

"The son of the Liu family in Wutai County, Liu Kang. I wanted to get close to Brother Shen yesterday, but I didn't find a chance.

The children of the family are good at communicating with people in order to attract talents and consolidate their power. Moreover, even after becoming external disciples, they are not smooth sailing. There are also a series of competitions between disciples, competing for resources, skills, and even for the quota of inner disciples. Every time they compete for the head, it is bloody.

Therefore, it is also very common for disciples to form gangs. As the young master of the Liu family, Liu Kang is also a person with outstanding qualifications and perseverance. He immediately found the value of Shen Chong and wanted to attract him.

"It's just that his skills are a little domineering, but Brother Liu's swordsmanship is sharp. He is a family of his own. He kills people in an instant, which is much smarter than me."

Shen Chong also remembered that Liu Kang was not far from him yesterday, followed by his own trial cave. His swordsmanship was flexible and extremely fast. Almost between breathing, a blood bat landed. In the face of Liu Kang's goodwill, he naturally said politely.

"Brother Shen, you're welcome. Today's second assessment is about to begin. Let's go together."

The two talked a few more words and came to the meeting place. It was the outer door stewer yesterday who took thirty-six people out of the Pavilion to welcome the fairy pavilion.

The Mingwang Hall is located in the Bantian Gorge of Luoxia Mountain. Only then did I find that the whole mountain peak is bare, without water and wood. It is extremely cold. Everything is silent and seems to have no life. A hall in the middle is majestic, but it gives people a sense of depression.

The outer doorkeeper led everyone to a blue-stone paved mountain road. The mountain road was foggy. The blue-white stone steps were like a long snake, straight into the clouds and fog. There was a huge stone beside the road, which was engraved: illusion is born in the heart, floating like a dream, coming into my door, and there is no complaints in case of trouble.

Sixteen words are simple and elegant, but give people a sad feeling.

"Nether Valley, the road of refining heart, you, if you want to become disciples of my Three Holy Sects, this road of refining heart must be passed. After this road of refining heart, it is the Ming King's Hall, and you will become disciples of my Three Holy Sects." The outer doorman who led the way said.

"Refining the heart, what is that?"

"Is it also a kind of assessment?"

"Isn't it just a mountain road? What's so difficult?"

Everyone was so surprised that the assessment of the second level was like this. The outer door steward said again, "This heart refining road can hone the mind of the martial arts. If you don't have a bad heart, don't step on it easily."

After a few comments, everyone stepped on the stone steps and soon blended into the thick fog. They have come here. How can they not go up?

Shen Chong also stepped on the stone steps, but he did not dare to be careless at all. Yesterday's first level was so dangerous, how can he easily pass today? There is a saying that steamed buns have meat on the folds, and the danger of not seeing is even more terrible.

The more you go up, the thicker the fog is. Soon you can't see the shadow of others, and the air around you has also changed. Shen Chong's expression became solemn and looked around carefully.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and the slate suddenly cracked under his feet. Shen Chong flew obliquely and took two steps upwards. His footsteps were not yet solid. With a roar, another ten-high flame spewed out in front of him, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose.

What's going on? There was no feeling of anyone around, but the real gas rolled in this flame. It was clearly manipulated by someone, and it was by no means a mechanism.

The way to refine your heart? Is the illusion born from the heart?

Is it a magic illusion of the heart? The huge flame has blocked three sides, and behind it is the bottomless crack. Soon, the flame is about to burn in front of you, and the air is about to boil. Big drops of sweat dripping from the head and evaporated in an instant.

Is

is it an illusion?

is advancing or retreating. Shen Ping gritted his teeth and stretched his left hand to the flame. The flame licked the skin of his left hand. In a blink of an eye, the skin was carbonized. His left hand had become coke. Shen Chong endured the severe pain, but closed his eyes and closed his five senses. The true qi reached the left hand. Sure enough, the true qi could When marching, the tendons and veins have not been burned. It's really a fantasy.

Although the body is still suffering from the fire, the heart is finally settled, that is, the illusion. As long as the mind is strong, the illusion will retreat.

He couldn't distinguish the road around him. Shen Chong was not in a hurry. Instead, he sat down and looked at the fire all over his body as nothing. The main skill he practiced was the Shaoyang formula. In addition, he practiced the three types of burning heart, and his mind was more firm. The idle flame did not pay attention to his heart at all. He recited the quiet words in the bottom of his heart to seek peace and run it with all his strength. Qi, actually experience the bitterness of burning the heart in the fantasy world, strong body.

This heart refining road is really good for the martial arts. The true qi has been running for three consecutive days, and it actually forced out the impurities in the true qi to be more pure.

I don't know how long it took. The flame gradually receded, and the stone road appeared again. Shen Chong stood up and moved his body. Both his spirit and body had made great progress.

Step forward a few poles, and the surrounding scenery changes again.

The temperature has dropped sharply, and the ground has frosted. Ha ha, it was fire just now, and now it is ice. This road of refining is really interesting. Shen Pingxin said secretly.

Sure enough, snowflakes also floated in the air, and the wind suddenly rose. Pieces of snowflakes suddenly scratched towards Shen Ping like a steel knife, and the ten thousand blades were added, like a live cut. Even Shen Chong, who was used to the pain of burning his body, could not stand it and almost exhaled.

Shen Chong gritted his teeth and closed his five senses again. In the bottom of his heart, he recalled the practice route of Shaoyang's formula just now, and his true spirit ran with all his strength. When the ice and snow receded, his endurance reached its limit. He fell to the ground and gasped, and he couldn't even move a finger.

Over and over again, there are endless illusions, demons and evil spirits. Finally, even the face of the closest person appeared. The spirit was tortured again and again. When his mother's appearance appeared in front of him, Shen Chong almost lost his heart and fell into the abyss. Fortunately, thanks to the clarity of the spiritual platform, he pulled it back.

Staying awake, the clothes on the back were soaked in cold sweat. He knew it was an illusion, but he still couldn't get rid of it.

After cutting through all the illusions, the clouds dissipated, and the feet also stepped on the last step. Suddenly, a magnificent palace appeared in front of him, writing: Mingwang Hall.

Calculating the time, from the beginning of stepping on the road of refining, the short hundreds of steps actually walked for 12 hours. For a whole day, I was a little hungry. However, the harvest along the way is also big. After the training of the spirit and Taoism, it is more firm, and the body is more tenacious, especially the cultivation of true qi. It has almost reached the level of true qi. The whole body feels infinite energy, and the strength seems to explode. The five senses of spirituality have also grown a lot, and the wind and grass can't escape. My own perception.

There are seven disciples who participated in the assessment in front of the Mingwang Hall. It seems that the others have either retreated or are still suffering in it.

There are also two people standing in the middle, wearing the clothes of the disciples of the Three Holy Sect, and a Ming character is embroidered at the corners of their clothes. It seems that they are the disciples of the Mingyu Peak.

When the two saw Shen rushing out, they nodded to him without saying anything. Shen Chong saluted, bowed his head and walked to the seven people who came out first. They lined up and sat down cross-legged. One of them smiled at him. It was Liu Kang. He looked a little tired. After saying hello, he stopped talking. Shen Chong also calmed down and absorbed the gains along the way.

After more than an hour, an inner disciple asked another person, "Brother Zhou, how is the situation in the refining road?"

"Well, fifteen people have retreated, and the remaining thirteen people have forcibly rushed through the customs. I'm afraid their sanity has been confused." That week's younger brother replied.

"Wait for another three hours." After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
