Chapter 101: Essence of Life
While Shen Chong was secretly suppressing the connection, it was his turn to enter the city.
"The person who came to report his name, origin, and handed in ten Yuanqi stones as the entrance fee." The gatekeeper saw that Shen Chong was a little absent-minded, and then shouted.
Shen Chong slightly restrained his mind and looked at the general. This man was dressed in the costume of General Zhou, and his appearance was very powerful. Looking at his cultivation, he turned out to be a psychic martial artist. Whether he was in the court or in the field, he could be used as a hero. Unexpectedly, he was only used to defend the city on Huanyu Island.
"Shen Chong, born in the Three Holy Sects!" Shen Chong said truthfully, took out ten vitality stones and handed them over.
The general who guarded the city's expression remained unchanged, and his attitude did not change because the other party was born in the seven sects. After receiving the vitality stone, he gently scratched his finger. After a moment, he handed over a jade card engraved with the word Shen Chong.
"With this identity, you can stay in the city for five days. If you want to stay in the city again after five days, you need to pay ten more vitality stones."
Shen Chong took the jade card and glanced at it. The jade card was crystal clear, with his name on the front and the date of entering the city engraved on the back. It takes ten vitality stones in five days, and the cost of entering the city is not low.
Entering into the city, the road is wide, and there are many high-rise buildings on both sides, all of which are made of masonry. Although it is not golden and brilliant, it also looks simple and elegant. The people who come and go on the road are martial arts practitioners, and their cultivation is at least above the true level.
Shen Chong looked around. There were a few idle men on both sides of the gate. A pair of eyes were dripping on the martial artists who entered the city. He must have been wandering in the city all year round to do some guidance and convenience for people who came to the city for the first time.
These people follow the rules and do not rush to talk to them. Only when the merchants who enter the city call them will they come forward to greet them.
Shen Chong came to Huanyu Island for the first time and was not very familiar with the rules and environment here, so he chose a man who looked good and made a move.
When the man saw Shen Chong's call, he hurried over with a happy face: "Your Excellency, little Li Dayong, if you need any small help, just open your mouth."
"I want to stay in the city for five days and help me choose a quiet and safe place to live. In these five days, just follow my orders." Shen Chong said indifferently.
"No problem, my lord, the small daily commission is three vitality stones." Li Dayong was secretly happy. His cultivation was not high, and there was no way to make money. However, with his familiarity with Huanyu City, he started this useless business.
Shen Chong nodded and waved six vitality stones flying out and fell into Li Dayong's hands: "This is the cost for two days. Take me to find a place to live first."
"Thank you for your reward!" Li Dayong's face showed excitement. Then he led Shen to rush into the city.
This Huanyu City has been built for thousands of years. The city is tall and the protection array is also extremely strong. Legend has it that even the master of the soul can't be broken in a short time. Although the construction time of each building in the city is different, it is mainly strong and durable, less luxurious and more quaint.
The city is not very large, and most of them are martial arts masters, mainly for trading. Except for some inns and other courtyards, they are shops.
Soon, Li Dayong led Shen Chong to a separate courtyard. This separate courtyard is different from the inn. They are all independent courtyards, and the rental fee is several times that of the inn. The rent for one night is 100 yuan gas stone. If Li Dayong didn't see that Shen Chong was extraordinary and generous, he would not dare to lead him here.
"Your Excellency, although the cost of this Huangshan courtyard is a little higher, it is quiet and elegant. As for safety, you don't have to worry about it. Not to mention that martial arts is prohibited in Huanyu City, even this courtyard is not easy for ordinary martial artists to break in." Li Dayong said with a flattering smile.
The small yard I rented is called Lingfeng Courtyard. Although the yard is not big, as soon as Shen Chong enters the yard, he can feel that there is a cold murderous intention around him. The wind is like a knife, which should be protected by formation.
By reading some classics, coupled with Qingluan's teaching, Shen Chong also has some understanding of the array. This set of array is extremely cleverly designed, cleverly uses the terrain, and also borrows the power of some island protection arrays, and can even block the attack of god-level masters.
Shen Chong nodded. This 100-yuan gas stone flower is still worth it. He must first find a way to deal with the mind of the owner of Kuyue Island, so he waved his hand to let Li Dayong retreat and ask him to come back tomorrow.
After Li Dayong retreated, Shen Chong hid in Lingfeng Courtyard, casually put a few warning arrays, isolated the master's soul sensing, and entered the seal of heaven and earth.
The seal of heaven and earth isolates all the feelings of the outside world. As long as it is in the seal of heaven and earth, he is not afraid of being noticed by the owner of Kuyue Island. Although Shen Chong does not know how to eliminate the trace of connection in his mind, his black fire can burn anything. Maybe he can have a try.
After settling down, Shen Chong set out to completely solve this hidden danger.
He sat down cross-legged in the seal of heaven and earth and sank his mind into his body. The three seas of qi in Dantian slowly swallowed the true qi. There was no abnormal movement. Then he checked the sea of knowledge. Two divine seeds were coiled in it. Thousands of messy consciousness rolled around in the sea of knowledge like swimming fish. They did not step into the realm of the soul, and could not be restrained. Consciousness, control the spirit.
Each consciousness is condensed by the spirit, most of which is generated by itself, and some are made by external factors. After the soul of the owner of the bitter moon island is refined, there are also several consciousnesses, which should also be coiled here, that is, these consciousnesses are inspired by the ontology of the owner of the bitter moon island.
After thinking for a while, Shen Chong began to gradually distinguish these consciousnesses. From tens of thousands of consciousnesses, distinguishing one or several channels. Although it is not particularly difficult, it is a water grinding skill, which consumes a lot of energy.
Fortunately, Shen Chong's cultivation is pure, and most of his consciousness is pure white, which can be distinguished at a glance. Only those with messy colors are likely to be generated by external factors.
It took half a day to sort out all his consciousness. At this time, Shen Chong's face turned a little pale, and his spirit was extremely tired, but his will was a little advanced.
There are as many consciousnesses generated by the owner of Kuyue Island after the soul refining. Shen Chong's mind has been turned into a thunder cloud with a small thunder technique and wrapped it up. Under the thunder bombardment, although it immediately dissipated, it did not recondensate again for a long time.
Shen Chong frowned, manipulated the thunder, and opened a gap. He didn't know what the consciousness formed by the soul division of the owner of the Kuyue Island was. It seemed that he had his own instinct. He immediately began to ** and surge out of the gap.
As soon as the consciousness was exposed from the thunder, Shen Chong immediately closed the thunder cloud and locked the remaining eight consciousnesses.
The leaked consciousness flew around and wanted to integrate into other consciousness. Shen Chong took a lot of effort to peel it off. How could he make it get what he wanted? He immediately called the black fire real fire and swept it away.
Unconsciously, another half hour passed. Shen Chong's face was pale, and sweat rolled down on his forehead. Suddenly, Shen Chong's eyes opened, and his eyes flashed, and he slowly breathed.
"The black fire is really effective, but it just takes some effort."
The leaked consciousness was completely burned down by the black fire, and the remaining silk is just a matter of time.
After two days of hard work, he finally completely eliminated the nine consciousness left by the soul of the owner of Kuyue Island. However, when expelling the last consciousness, Qingluan's words reminded him that instead of refining this last consciousness, it is better to seal it. If possible, he can also make a way to sense the direction of the other party. The magic weapon can avoid each other in advance.
It's just that this sealing consciousness is several times more difficult than refining consciousness. Shen Chong gritted his teeth and peeled off the consciousness. Qingluan wrapped it with a divine soul, and even used the crystal of the space law in the seal of heaven and earth to seal it.
Shen Chong sealed the consciousness like a crystal in his hand and hated it in his heart. This old thief was really asking for trouble. If he had let him leave early, there would not be so much to do, but it would have been good, at least it would have been cheaper for himself.
Solving the consciousness of the soul of the owner of Kuyue Island is also a matter of mind, and the spiritual power is a little more solid. After a few days of cultivation, two innate free rings can be condensed again.
However, at this moment, Shen Chong is not in a hurry. At this moment, he is standing at the front of a meat mountain dozens of feet long. This meat mountain is the body of the jade beard double-tailed carp. It cultivates a demon elixir and survives the disaster, but it does not expect to fall into man-made disasters.
"The self-healing body is indeed rare in ancient times. I didn't expect it to appear in the barren Shenzhou." Qingluan sighed, "It's just that if you want to refine it into an elixir, you need to work hard and get some auxiliary medicinal materials. It's better to put it directly into the seven-flame elixir furnace, refine your body with it, and save the vitality in the Dantian, and then you can open up the sea of gas again. And it can also strengthen your body.
"Okay," Shen Chong thought for a moment and agreed. The self-healing body is indeed rare. This jade-bearded double-tailed carp is also gifted, but its bloodline is not very pure, otherwise it will not have died under the sneak attack of the owner of Kuyue Island. Refined and integrated into yourself, although you can't increase your cultivation, you can strengthen your physique and store vitality. Even if you can't step into the realm of the soul, you can also increase your life expectancy for a hundred years.
With a certain mind, Shen Chong released the black fire again. At this time, the power of Shen Chong's black fire is no longer under the true fire of Qingluan's soul, and the vitality of the jade bearded double-tailed carp has been lost, and the body is no longer as hard as iron. Under the burning of the black flame, dozens of feet of meat mountains quickly melted, and all the impurities on the body are refined into Flying ash, what is left is the pure essence of life.
Shen Chong can't absorb these essences directly. He can only put them all into the seven flame elixir furnace. Qingluan also spit out real fire. One red and one black fire lights surround the bottom of the seven flame furnace. The temperature immediately rises, and the seven flames in the furnace turn up, accelerating the refining of the essence of life. Before long, those essence of life gradually disperse into tiny particles.
