From clam spirit to mirage dragon fairy

Chapter 2 Similar
Apart from the essence of the sun and moon, only the five elements of spiritual energy are left.

Clam spirit belongs to water, so Guyang naturally wants to absorb the water spirit.

Guyang is the most common pearl clam with poor eyesight.

Only light and darkness and the general outline of objects can be seen clearly.

Therefore, Guyang relies not on his eyes to find spiritual energy, but on his spiritual sense, which is unique to demons.

In fact, as long as you calm down, you can feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is everywhere, but some places have more and some places have less.

Because he did not practice any martial arts, Guyang could not actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

You can only use the monster's instinct to digest the weak spiritual energy that enters the body along with the air.

This bit of spiritual energy is too weak and cannot be found without careful inspection.

In order to gain more spiritual energy, Guyang decided to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to resettle.

With the help of the lake tide, Guyang carefully searched for a place with abundant spiritual energy at the bottom of the lake.

Guyang speculated that there should be a spiritual vein at the bottom of Yingyue Lake, because most of the spiritual energy in the lake seeped out from deep underground.

The place with abundant spiritual energy is the deepest part of Yingyue Lake, a large crater created by an extraterrestrial meteorite.

Although it was covered with mud, Guyang could still feel the spiritual energy seeping out bit by bit from the cracks near the crater.

The meteorite must have been a treasure that day, but it was a pity that it had been taken away.

Now the crater is occupied by a golden carp that is more than three feet long.

Although the golden carp is huge, it does not look bloated. Instead, it looks elegant and slender.

The two golden fish whiskers are more than a foot long, and there is a powerful majesty all over the body.

Gu Yang just glanced at the guy from a distance and felt a kind of fear in his bones.

That comes from the fear of superiors deep in the blood.

"This carp must be a dragon species, and its bloodline level is not low, and its body has already transformed into a dragon."

Gu Yang secretly speculated.

This carp is the overlord in Yingyue Lake, otherwise it would not occupy the crater with the most spiritual energy.

And this guy is not alone.

There are more than a dozen golden carps more than a foot long beside it. They seem to be a group.

Although those golden carp are not big in size, they are very vigorous.

It swims like golden lightning.

His strength was even more astonishing. Guyang saw with his own eyes that an old clam that was bigger than him was smashed by the tails of those golden carp, and the shell of the clam was smashed and the tender meat inside was swallowed up.

Gu Yang was so frightened that he never dared to go near the water near the crater again.

In addition to the vicinity of meteor craters, there are some places where the spiritual energy is not as good as that of meteor craters, but it is stronger than that of ordinary places.

Unfortunately, these places are all occupied.

There are water snakes with thighs as thick as three meters long.

The millstone is as big as a boulder and a motionless old turtle.

A large catfish that is over two meters long and looks like a black dragon.

A large loach that is more than a foot long and has three golden threads on its body.

A water ghost with water plants all over his body and full of resentment.

An old underwater corpse that was sucked into the mud and unable to escape, so filled with evil spirits.

……

If you don’t know it, Baili Yingyue Lake is like a group of demons dancing wildly.

There are more than a dozen monsters of various kinds who have become climates, and the number of little monsters like Guyang who have just awakened is no less than three hundred.

If Guyang is a dangerous creature like water snake and catfish, then Guyang will definitely grab a territory.

It's a pity that Guyang is just a clam spirit.

The only advantage is that the shells are hard enough.

You can neither run nor fight.

So Guyang could only wander around the bottom of the lake in despair.

Guyang now only has one goal left.

It is an underground cave located under Crouching Tiger Mountain.

There are a lot of shellfish living there, and it can be regarded as Guyang's hometown in this life.

Thousands of shells live in the cave the size of a football field.

In the past, Guyang drifted out of the cave with the current in ignorance, and Guyang rarely came back here again.

It was so dark there that no light could be seen, and it was really depressing.

Although Guyang was not completely enlightened in the past, he had always known himself as a human being.

Human beings need sunlight, and of course they don't like this kind of place.

But it is different now.

Guyang needs the rich aura here.

When Guyang passed through the narrow waterway with his memory, he finally returned to his birthplace again.

A vague thought came from the cave, like a kind mother welcoming her child who had been away from home for many years.

A faint light slowly illuminated the dark cave.

With the light source, Guyang saw countless clam shells.

The ones as small as a fingernail and as many as the mud on the bottom of a river.

The larger one is about the size of an adult's hand, lying quietly in the mud like a stone.

No matter how big it is, there are those the size of a washbasin like Guyang's, and there are also those the size of a wheel.

But most of those clam shells the size of wheels have no breath of life.

It is obvious that these clam shells have not successfully opened their spiritual wisdom and can only follow the laws of nature and die in this cave.

Poor giant clams, they have lived in this cave all their lives and have never seen the sunny world outside.

The source of the light comes from a giant clam the size of a millstone.

The shell has turned into a pure purple-red color, like jade. Between the two open shells, a pink pearl the size of a fist is shining brightly.

As the giant clam opened its shell, a wave of spiritual power swept through the aura of heaven and earth, forming waves that echoed in the cave.

All the shells in the cave followed the giant clam's call and opened their shells.

Countless pearls began to shine with the aura of the giant clam.

White, black, purple, pink...

For a time, colorful rays of light competed with each other.

"It's welcoming me!"

The giant clam has obviously become a spirit, but its skill may not be very high.Because it can't speak, and it can't condense into a human form.

Even its intelligence is not very high. It can only express emotions of happiness and joy, but cannot make other expressions.

But Guyang was still very happy.

The giant clam thinks of itself as its own kind or child.

Guyang in the world may really be the descendant of this giant clam.

It has not yet learned the intrigues of higher organisms, and now it is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

It is welcoming its children home, and also celebrating that its descendants have finally transcended the laws of nature and started a new life like it.

"Hello--"

Guyang transmitted his thoughts to the giant clam through demon power.

"well……"

The giant clam was even happier, but it couldn't speak and could only express its emotions continuously.

"I'm back, I'm not leaving."

Guyang continued to express what he meant.

"Don't leave, don't leave-"

The giant clam repeated Guyang's words. It didn't understand it, but it could understand the emotions in the words.

The giant clam rotates its body in a rare way.

The huge clamshell pushed aside all the dumb clamshells around it, revealing a large open space.

With the faint spiritual light, Guyang could feel that the place under the giant clam's body had the most abundant spiritual energy.

A steady stream of cool spiritual energy is seeping out from the ground.

Guyang knew that it was the shelter prepared by the giant clam for him.

Guyang happily stirred the water to fall next to the giant clam.

The spiritual energy constantly nourished Guyang's body.

The weak demon power began to greedily absorb these spiritual energies to strengthen itself.

Feeling the increase in demonic power, Gu Yang felt comfortable.

Peace of mind and comfort, Guyang hasn't felt this mood for a long time.

The giant clam received Guyang's emotions and was also very happy.

Soon the giant clam closed its shell because it consumed too much demonic power to control the pearl's glow and needed to recover through sleep.

The last emotion conveyed to Guyang was "exhaustion".

Guyang could only feel the darkness alone.

There are thousands of shells in the cave, but only the giant clam and Guyang have opened their spiritual wisdom and transformed into monsters smoothly.

No wonder Giant Clam is so happy about Guyang's return.

Because shells are inherently social creatures.

Although the spiritual energy in the cave was enough for Guyang and the giant clam to grow, Guyang still did not give up the opportunity to absorb the essence of the moon once a month.

Almost every full moon night, Guyang would leave the cave and go outside to swallow the essence of the moon.

At first, Ju Clam was curious about why Guyang left.

Until Guyang sent the appearance of the moon into the giant clam's mind.

Unexpectedly, the giant clam was happy at first, and then felt disappointed.

Through bits and pieces of communication, Gu Yang understood what the giant clam meant.

It turns out that at first the giant clam would go out and swallow the essence of the moon, but as time went by, it got worse.

The giant clam's body is getting bigger and bigger, and the underground waterway in and out of the cave is no longer enough to accommodate the giant clam's entry and exit.

So the giant clam was trapped in the cave and could only rely on the spiritual energy seeping from the ground to grow.

Guyang had observed the waterway.

The widest part is about three feet, and the narrowest part is less than two feet wide.

The total length is more than 100 meters, with twists and turns.

It is difficult for ordinary fish to move through it.

Guyang had the intention to widen the waterway, but later he changed his mind.

It is inconvenient for oneself to enter and exit this waterway, and it is also inconvenient for other monsters.

This is a natural barrier, enough to keep all the members of the Pearl Clam clan safe for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, Guyang temporarily gave up the idea of ​​widening the waterway.

Then Gu Yang spent most of his energy on studying the practice method.

Generally speaking, demons must have demon elixirs to practice, and humans also have the secret method of golden elixirs.

Gu Yang had already made a rough guess about how to practice demon elixirs through exploration.

Demons swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are just like humans eating grains.

Reiki enters the lungs through breathing, and is then sent to all parts of the body through one's own blood.

During this transportation process, a small amount of spiritual energy will be combined with the physical body and become the most basic demonic power through circulation and digestion.

The demon power moves unconsciously with its own movements and breathing, and finally condenses together at a certain place to become the demon elixir.

Most of the spiritual energy will flow out of the body because it cannot be absorbed in time.

Not only wasting most of the spiritual energy, the body was also contaminated with filth and animality due to the lack of refining steps.

Regardless of whether you are a human being or a demon, as long as you have an acquired body, you will be infected by turbid air and you will have seven emotions and six desires.

Especially demons, who eat hair and drink blood, have no human nature, and are born with turbid evil spirits and animalistic nature.

These filthy air and animal nature were mixed into the spiritual energy and turned into demonic power.

The deeper the demon's power, the more filthy and animalistic it will be. If it is accumulated over many years, even if the demon power is not used, the filthy gas will be emitted and pollute its own spirituality, making it behave like a beast. evil deeds.

Therefore, those who practice Taoism can distinguish demonic or spiritual energy with just a slight sniff.

The secret technique of golden elixir for cultivators is different.

The first step in practicing Taoism is to meditate.

When the mind is calm, the spirit will not be lacking, and only when the spirit is complete and the energy is sufficient can the divine furnace elixir fire be generated.

At this moment, the body is the alchemy furnace, the mind is the divine fire for alchemy, and the spiritual energy is the great sage in the Bagua furnace.

After the spiritual energy enters the body, it uses the divine fire of thoughts to trap its body shape and suppress its wild nature, and finally reaches the state where it can drive the heart to move at will like an arm.

At this time, the spiritual energy will turn into its own mana.

Then you can use your magic power to nourish your viscera and soul.

From now on, it’s up to you whether you continue to follow the golden elixir path or the divine soul path.
