You can't stop taking the medicine, even a half-demon can turn into a dragon

Chapter 136: Breakthrough and Promotion, Eighth Level of Spiritual Refining

According to ancient legend, there is evil outside the desert west, which is a barbaric and evil place outside the territory. Hundreds of ghosts walk at night, and the nine secluded places are prosperous. There are many ghosts, longevity ghosts, hanged ghosts, and all kinds of demons and monsters in it, all of which contain immortal matter.

——[Rumors about Taoist monsters in Desert West]

People on the Moxi border sometimes fall into delirium, lose their souls, go crazy and other symptoms, or die for unknown reasons. It is suspected that there are forces from outside the territory, crossing the border to invade. It is unspeakable suffering to be disturbed by this.

I, the Governor of Moxi, lead hundreds of millions of people, and I sincerely request Your Majesty to show your favor, either by sending monks to support you, or by allowing the people of Moxi to move inward until the invasion of external forces disappears.

——[In the 23rd year of Emperor Jing’s reign, Migration to the Western Desert]

Tiandi City is preaching in the west of the desert, and it is discovered that there are signs of ghosts and gods invading this place. The source is the Nine Netherworlds outside the territory, or there may be the birth of immortal matter, causing hundreds of ghosts to walk at night.

Later, he reported it to the empire, killed thousands of ghosts in formation, and imprisoned the immortal matter in the Emperor's City.

——[Records of Tiandi City]

Wow~

Su Wu turned the pages of the book, focusing on books about immortal substances, legends about monsters, etc.

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something else. After thinking for a while, he continued: "How is the material reserve at home?"

In the past few days, there was a lot of ice and reserve items missing from the ice cellar, and she naturally noticed it.

"In addition, there are some fat pigs, chickens, ducks and fish."

The current situation is mysterious. Two weak women are trying to make a living in Nancheng, and there will definitely be no bones left to be eaten.

As for how he will act if something unexpected happens, that is unknown.

Although she needs to report some information about Su Wu to the government every month, it is just a routine matter, and everything is handled by the gambling gang.

Su Wu said with a smile.

Once they appear in Daxia, it will herald the invasion of forces from outside the territory, which will not only cause terrifying chaos, but also give rise to all kinds of weird disasters.

"We can endure hardship. As long as we have a mouthful of food, that's enough for Youyou and I. We will never cause trouble to you."

In recent days, the gambling gang has sent a lot of herbs, minerals and other supplies one after another.

After all, it is almost self-evident who is using the supplies.

"Is someone using the power of Shou Gui, or did the half-demon high-level alchemist actually die in the hands of Shou Gui? No, in other words, it can become a high-level alchemist, but it actually has something to do with Shou Gui. Is it related?"

The sheer number of them made her feel deeply uneasy even though she already had some experience.

"I mainly buy meat. Because I like to eat beef, I bought more beef. The best beef is close to ten heads."

Although most of them were mundane stories, calendar biographies, etc., occasionally some recorded rumors could still allow him to get a glimpse of information about the immortal matter.

On the other hand, Linglan felt relieved when she heard what he said.

As for the situation in Luo City, through all kinds of fragmentary information connected together, he began to have a relatively vague idea in his mind.

Since returning from the gambling gang, he has been secretly consulting various books and records. Although he still doesn't know much about what the immortal substance is, he has a rough idea in his mind.

"not enough!"

Hearing this, Su Wu put down the book in his hand, nodded, and said calmly: "Yeah, I understand, just accept it. From now on, no matter what the gambling gang sends, you don't have to refuse, just accept it all." .”

These books were all sent by Li Xiang before.

"So, it is unknown whether there is a problem with the Qingyun Sect. But there must have been a problem in the Central District of Luo City?"

"Master, today the Gambling Gang has sent us another batch of medicinal materials. Take a look."

"This winter is not going to be easy. This preparation is far from enough. Let's take some money tomorrow and let the gambling gang go to buy beef for you."

"Shou Gui should be a very special immortal substance from Moxi Road, but now its power appears here in Luocheng."

But today, hearing that Su Wu still wanted to continue hoarding supplies made her feel more uneasy, and she even began to fear that the former would abandon their mother and daughter and live a homeless life again.

It was just that she was so smart that she never asked.

Such things seem to be incompatible with Daxia's medicinal cultivation system. They are extremely dangerous products that only exist outside the territory.

After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

But his words touched Suzuran's fragile nerves, and tears flowed down her face.

"Master, there are already a lot of things, do you still need to store them?"

Su Wu ordered.

After Suzuran thought about it silently for a while, she asked softly.

Su Wu used the dim light of the candle to flip through the books and think secretly.

"Can you take our mother and daughter with you?"

Suzuran couldn't help but speak her mind.

Suzuran, wearing a single coat, walked from the side and said.

Who doesn’t know how to say sweet words?

"What are you thinking about? I'm just preparing some more means for the future. The situation has not reached that point yet. Even if it reaches that point, I will take you away."

So after these days, my heart is focused on Su Wu. If he is abandoned by the latter again, I really don't know how to survive.

"Sir, are you ready to leave?"

His eyes even pulled out Mei Si, hugged Su Wu tightly from behind, and wrapped a pair of beautiful legs around the latter's waist.

She was heard breathing hot air into Su Wu's ear, and said softly: "Master, don't read today, and rest first. I and Youyou learned new tricks from Mrs. Li today."

"I'm sure you're satisfied!"

In the next few days, the situation will change day by day.

However, Su Wu returned to his home life.

Everyday practice makes progress.

Thanks to the various medicinal materials provided by the gambling gang, his understanding of alchemy has gradually deepened by three points, and along with his own various strengths, he has made good gains.

My energy and spirit continued to improve, gradually approaching the 3.0 mark.

This also provided more sufficient nutrition for his own great medicine. The aura contained in it increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gradually, there were even signs of sprouting.

Branches sprout, fallen leaves take root!

The most important sign of being promoted to the eighth level of spirit refining is that besides the birth of aura from the great medicine, it is the birth from death and then sprouting.

Only in this way can the phenomenon of fallen leaves taking root appear in the ninth level, and finally the great medicinal spiritual root is born, thus turning the void into reality and completely creating new life from death.

The art of blood refining and shedding of skin have also improved a lot.

The blood refining veins in the heart not only contain more blood essence, but the quality has also been more than doubled.

Once it cooperates with the body to explode, Su Wu's overall strength can be tripled in a short period of time.

Whether it's speed, attack power, or spirit.

Although the duration is only three seconds, the effect is extremely exaggerated.

As for the molting technique, several medicinal herbs containing the blood of the earth god were also modified by Su Wu and swallowed whole.

Although the effect is definitely not as good as refining it into a pill, he doesn't have the corresponding Earth God prescription, so that's all he can do for the time being.

However, the second level of the Molting Technique is still on the right track. Every day, he draws some herbs that can enhance essence and blood, strengthen skin and bones. These medicinal properties circulate through the body and are gradually refined into the main trunk of the medicine, which is like the scales of a dragon.

In this way, the scales on Su Wu's body are also changing day by day.

On the third and fifth days, some god-given demon patterns were condensed on the scales. On the seventh and eighth days, the defense of the scales was strengthened upwards. After more than ten days, the color of the scales on the whole body became three points darker.

Blood, bone marrow, flesh and blood, etc., all benefit from this.

By the second half of November, the cultivation of the second level of the shedding technique had already passed the intermediate stage, and he could already faintly feel the signs of itchiness on the scales on his body.

The second molt of Skin Alchemy is not far away.

In addition, he is more accustomed to the Jade Fire Spirit Eyes. Gradually, part of the power belonging to this spiritual weapon was exerted.

The space contained in it, the secret knowledge of the properties of fire, etc., were gradually understood and absorbed by Su Wu, and the fire spirit root contained in it also exerted more effects.

For example, when Su Wu was refining alchemy, he made great progress in controlling flames, civil fire, and martial fire, etc. And the resistance of its demonic body to various fire powers has also been strengthened a lot.

You must know that most of the underground monsters prefer water, rock, earth, etc., so their resistance to the power of fire is naturally quite different.

But now, due to the effect of the Jade Fire Spirit Eyes, his own resistance to the power of fire has been strengthened, which can be regarded as making up for some of his shortcomings.

In the end, all that's left is the curse mark.

Although he was worried about immortal matter, Su Wu did not relax his practice of engraving bitter curse marks. After all, this weird formation inscribed on the body was really delicious.

After the spell is completed, not only the defense power is greatly increased, but also it can resist the force of breaking the formation. To simply understand, it is to resist a fatal crisis.

This also made Su Wu reluctant to give up.

Furthermore, the threat of the undead material has only just sprouted, and it remains to be seen whether it is the attraction of the curse mark.

Moreover, if this thing works well, it is not impossible to turn the crisis into safety, and even gain some benefits from it. For example, right now, the gambling gang is constantly transporting supplies, allowing his strength to increase by leaps and bounds.

Giving up halfway is not his style.

The most important thing is that the elixir has a very deep connection with the immortal substance, and the curse mark seems to be a key factor in it.

For example, during this period of time, the 'plague' that has become more and more severe in Nancheng contains some fragments of the curse mark.

Su Wu also secretly observed those plague patients.

This symptom will cause loss of soul in the early stage and some confusion in the middle stage. In the later stage, it will mutate and turn into a crazy bloodthirsty monster that only knows how to devour and eat.

Its final form will not only distort and change, but also show various evil phenomena, and its strength will increase by leaps and bounds. Some of the guys who have devoured many living beings are even comparable to the demons at the fourth and fifth levels of spirit refining.

Extremely scary.

These guys are collectively called evil degenerates by Los Angeles officials.

If you remove them, you can receive a reward based on their heads.

I heard that the most powerful one is worth five hundred taels of silver. Many demon clans and casual cultivators in Nancheng have joined the hunt for this purpose.

It's just that this plague-like pollution was not transmitted by evil, and the cause of the outbreak is still unknown.

It is not an airborne infection, nor is it a contact infection, nor is it spread by evil deeds, it is more like God randomly assigns, and whoever is selected will be the one.

Really weird.

As for Su Wu, he naturally knew clearly that the matter was related to the artificially cultivated immortal concoction puppet.

In other words, multiple parties are involved in this matter.

There is the Fang family, there is the Demon King of Luohe, there is the Qingyun sect, there are also the upper echelons of Luo City, etc.

It is precisely because of this that the plague in Nancheng is basically unstoppable, and the specific process and source of the infection cannot be found out, so we just let it go and drag it on until now.

Under Mingzhe's protection, he would naturally not get involved in this mess.

However, Su Wu secretly beheaded an Evil Fall that was close to the fifth level of spirit refining, and found that the bitter curse mark fragments in its body were larger and more complex than those in Li Xiaoli's body.

It also combines many dangerous and strange medicinal properties and substances, including things related to earth gods, or things related to some undead substances.

The most common ones are longevity ghost energy, earth god belief, etc.

However, these evil depravities may be extremely dangerous to other beings. Once contaminated, they can easily cause monks to become insane, have poor luck, and even risk becoming possessed.

But for him, after being trained by the Tao Te Ching, the mutated curse mark in the evil body was the best food and promotion qualification.

A fifth-level spirit refining evil is no worse than a fifth-level elixir.

"Using living beings as gu, living cultivation is born. This is very similar to the living blood pill recorded in the alchemy path."

"Immortal potion puppets, evil degenerates, and even little demons like us who practice martial arts. In the eyes of those strong people, they are all extremely delicious ingredients that are about to be born."

"Luo City, there are people who are using the entire city's creatures as qualifications for their promotion. Whether it's the humans on the ground, the monsters underground, or even the Luohe monsters."

"Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Su Wu looked up at the sky, looking at the increasingly dense dark clouds, feeling the biting cold wind around him, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Demon King of Luohe, Qingyunzi of the Qingyun Sect, the three demon kings of the underground world, the City Lord's Mansion in the Central District of Luo City, the forces of the Great Xia Empire, the Wa Palace and even forces from outside the region.

Luo City, the capital of the three counties in the Northwest Road, is already a gathering of many forces.

If you want to survive in this chaotic and strange situation, scheming and means may be necessary, but in the end it still comes down to your own strength.

It’s time to advance to the eighth level of spirit refining!

Daxia Calendar, the end of the 34th year of Emperor Jingdi, the end of November.

At this moment, the autumn wind has passed away and the autumn rain has stopped.

Su Wu stood in the courtyard, wearing a heavy fur trench coat. There was a red stove next to him, while Yuyou and his son were holding hot pots at the side.

The beef head soup on the stove was bubbling.

There is a small red clay stove, and I want to drink a glass of wine.

Warm, cozy and fragrant. There are enough supplies and beautiful people to accompany you. Even though it was freezing cold, such a peaceful and warm scene still made him feel more calm.

The worries about Luo City, the troubles about future life, and the hesitations about spiritual practice were all put aside at this moment.

The mind is as clear as still water, and can see all the emotions in the world.

When you enter the world and enter the ordinary world, you will also achieve a peaceful mind.

The eighth shackles of spirit refining that had imprisoned him for several days finally shattered at this moment.

"It's snowing!"

Yuyou's voice suddenly came.

Su Wu looked up and saw the fluttering white snow falling slowly from the sky to the earth.

In just an instant, the surrounding area was covered with a layer of frosty white.

The first snow of this winter has finally arrived.

It’s November 30th.

At this point, he was officially promoted to the eighth level of spirit refining.

It’s just one step away from building a spirit!
