Strange Longevity: Starting from Alchemy for the First Emperor

Chapter 2

"Who are you? Why should I trust you?"

Chu Ci looked at the old man in front of him, with a sloppy appearance, he didn't look like an expert at all.

"I am the current head of Guigu."

The old man stroked his beard, brushed the dust off his ragged robe, and looked at the silent young man in front of him, thinking that this young man must have been shocked by his name.

"Farewell."

Chu Ci carried the rice bucket and turned to leave.

Head of Ghost Valley? !
There is another reason to believable if you lie to eat. This is not the original world, what kind of ghost valley.

The sloppy old man was taken aback, his name is already so unpopular?

Seeing that Chu Ci was about to leave, he hurriedly made another sound.

"Little brother, aren't you curious that everyone around you has disappeared?"

"You people, called Yaotong, are actually Yaoyin. You will be trained in the magic skill when you go to the fairy tower. When the magic energy erodes to a certain extent, you will be transformed into a demon, and then you will be turned into Yaoyin or a monster that you can drive at will. "

Chu Ci's movements stopped slightly.

He carefully searched the original owner's memory, and the original owner was indeed practicing a method called 'Tongxianlu'.

The person who taught them the exercises when they entered the Ascending Immortal Tower told them that as long as they practice the Tongxianlu, they can be promoted to disciples of the Ascending Immortal Tower, and they no longer need to live in a dungeon, and they can receive a monthly salary.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, there were about 20 people who came to the dungeon room with him seven days ago, and now there are only five left including Chu Ci.

The others disappeared inexplicably one after another.

Some people also asked the steward who patrols every day, and the steward's answer was that those people had other arrangements.

"nonsense."

Chu Ci spat, then gave the sloppy old man an extra spoonful of rice, turned around and left.

It's not that he doesn't trust the sloppy old man, but that it's inconvenient to stay for too long.

From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the top corner of the prison, and there were eyeballs spinning around, monitoring all abnormalities in the prison. These eyeballs would only rest for an hour every day.

Back in the classroom, in the Datong bunk that can sleep more than 20 people, there will only be two people sitting cross-legged, muttering words.

"Jiuge, you're back."

When the little fat man on the left saw Chu Ci enter the door, he quickly waved.

Jiu Ge is a character of Chu Ci.

"Ah."

Chu Ci nodded and came to sit next to the fat man.

"Today, there are two more entry-level cultivations."

Wang Fugui whispered in Chu Ci's ear, his eyes full of envy.

After finishing speaking, he concentrated on adjusting his breath again, chanting the formula of Tongxianlu that he had already memorized fluently.

"Brother Chu."

Another young man with a handsome face, who looked like a scholar who had studied, also opened his eyes, nodded with a smile, and then closed his eyes to continue practicing.

Chu Ci didn't practice, but pondered over what the sloppy old man said.

Demonic?

Could it be that this is a world of cultivating immortals?

The time is coming soon.

When Chu Ci saw these eyeballs closed, he quietly left the classroom.

In the dirty old man's cell, the old man seemed to know that Chu Ci would come, showing a mouthful of white teeth, shining in the darkness.

"Little brother, you are here."

The sloppy old man chuckled.

"This ascending fairy building recruits disciples in the name of immortality, but in fact they are all sent to this dungeon to practice magic skills. It lasts for seven days. Those who have not been demonized can leave the dungeon, and the rest are turned into medicine or monsters."

"The old man has a unique mental method, which can help you refine the devilish energy in your body, and avoid the difficulty of turning it into medicine."

"In exchange, after you go out, you need to bring a message for the old man to the old man's two apprentices."

The old man's speech was very fast, and he was very clear, and it seemed that he had recited it on purpose.

"How many people have you told this to?"

Chu Ci asked lightly.

"You are number 18."

The sloppy old man doesn't shy away either.

The round changes every seven days, so the old man was imprisoned for half a year.

"Without your thoughts, I can still get out of the dungeon after today."

Since the original owner's cause of death was demonization, and the longevity spirit crystal has the power to purify all filth, the demon energy in his body must have been purified long ago.

The sloppy old man was taken aback, he had never met such a confident drug boy.

"Can I let the old man take a look?"

The sloppy old man said.

Chu Ci didn't speak, but just passed out his hand.

He just guessed that the magic energy in his body had been purified, but he was not sure.

The sloppy old man quickly grabbed Chu Ci's wrist, and after a while, ecstasy appeared on his face.

Of the seventeen people he fooled before, although nine of them reached a deal with him and practiced the mental method he gave, they were still demonized.

"Little brother, as long as you promise to help me deliver the message, this old man can teach you vertical and horizontal swordsmanship."

This sentence proved Chu Ci's conjecture that the devilish energy in his body was indeed purified by the longevity spirit crystal.

After all, the old man was afraid that Chu Ci would disagree, so he poked his finger out and tapped on Chu Ci's forehead.

In an instant, the vast picture of swordsmanship played in Chu Ci's mind like a movie.

Even if Chu Ci doesn't know swordsmanship, he can tell that this is definitely a first-class swordsmanship.

And the way of teaching swordsmanship shows that the force in this world is definitely not an ordinary fight in the rivers and lakes.

"I want to know what is the realm of martial arts, and what is magic energy?"

The slovenly old man who finished teaching swordsmanship looked a little weak, he took a breath and said.

"Opening the meridians and washing the marrow, copper tendons and iron bones, congenital qi flow, extreme masters, these are the four great realms of martial arts."

"As for the demonic energy, it's just a title. Some people call it ghost energy, monster energy, etc. The old man is used to calling it demonic energy."

"Since the beginning of the Warring States period, there has been a strange aura in the heaven and earth. At that time, martial arts practitioners discovered that absorbing this aura into their bodies can double their own martial power in a short time, but when the absorption reaches a certain level, there is a problem. , the body will mutate, and eventually turn into a monster that can't distinguish between humans and ghosts."

"In order to be able to absorb this breath and practice without being alienated by it, all schools of thought have minds that were born in the world. Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, farming, Yin-Yang, etc., through practicing these minds, can suppress it to the greatest extent. Alienate and strengthen yourself."

"These mental methods are strong and weak. Some are too suppressed, resulting in extremely slow cultivation, while some are not suppressed enough. Although the cultivation speed is fast, they cannot suppress the alienation of the body."

"After hundreds of years of debugging and refining, according to the strength of the gods, the mental skills can be roughly divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. The heavenly level mental skills can suppress alienation while retaining [-]% of the effect, the earth level can be [-]%, and the mysterious level is [-]%. , [-]% of the yellow rank."

Hearing what the sloppy old man said, Chu Ci understood.

Demonic energy will alienate people, and in order to absorb the magical energy for cultivation, they have created a mental method that can suppress alienation.

And the time node "Warring States" when this aura appeared, if you guessed correctly, it should be the origin of "Strange Version: I".

"What level of mental technique is Tongxianlu?"

Chu Ci asked.

"Demonic skills, how can they be graded?"

The sloppy old man's words contained a dislike for Tongxianlu.

Chu Ci didn't ask any more questions. Based on the logic of this suppression, it was speculated that the Tongxian Talisman was obviously not suppressing the demonic energy, and would even encourage it. Otherwise, how could it be possible to demonize a living person in seven days.

That is to say, in terms of the efficacy of cultivation alone, Tongxianlu is far better than the heaven-level mental method mentioned by the old man.

For other people, this Tongxianlu is a terrible thing, but for Chuci, it is a treasure. The longevity spirit crystal can completely purify the magic energy, leaving only the pure power, and there is no need to worry about being demonized risks of.

"You are so strong, why did you get arrested by Yun Zhongjun?"

This old man can be the head of Guigu, so he must be a master of the extreme way.

"That guy Wu Fu took advantage of the old man's serious injury to retreat and sneak attack, otherwise how could he succeed."

The sloppy old man spat.

'Mr. Yunzhong?Wu Fu? ! '

Chu Ci was stunned, and subconsciously scanned the lighted panel in his mind, "Head of the most wicked person" and "Wu Fu".

"Monster!"

Suddenly, Wang Fugui's panic came, and everyone in the prison was used to it.

"Look, it's demonized."

The sloppy old man pouted in the direction of the classroom.
