Chapter 148: Five Poisons Refining the Body, Mid-Nascent Soul Stage
Chen An did not plan to build the long-distance transmission array connecting Kuxiu Mountain and Qinglong City on the top of Kuxiu Mountain, but chose to build it in Heifeng City, which is Heifeng Market.
Today, the population of Heifengfang City continues to pour in, and after several rounds of expansion, it has now grown to the size of a city.
Of course, there is another most important reason. If any accident occurs in the future, Black Wind City will be the first to be affected, which can buy some time for Kuxiu Mountain.
After Chen An communicated with the array master on the opposite side through the communication array, the two sides exchanged their respective coordinates. All that remained was for them to each build a long-distance teleportation array.
Ordinary teleportation arrays have a distance limit, and the farthest distance they can teleport is only ten thousand miles, while long-range teleportation arrays can teleport monks to a distance of one hundred thousand miles!
As the functionality increases, the complexity also rises sharply.
Not only do five small array bases need to be connected to a large array base to meet the needs of long-distance transmission, but even the array patterns that need to be engraved on it are not comparable to the previous teleportation array. When Chen An saw the secret and dense array patterns in the jade slip, his scalp felt tingling.
Compared with the teleportation array built before, the difficulty of the long-distance teleportation array has increased by more than ten or twenty times.
This does not include the cost of materials, but this project cannot be completed in a short time. Chen An has plenty of time to collect them slowly. In addition, Chen Fengshuo’s Yinmo City has also collected a lot of materials recently. He can send them over someday, so there is no need to worry too much about the wasted materials.
From then on, apart from practicing, occasionally drawing talismans and refining pills, Chen An spent all his free time on building the teleportation array.
Apart from Luo Ling'er who he occasionally saw, other people rarely saw him. Those who didn't know him would think he was in seclusion practicing.
In the cave, inside a stone chamber.
The ground was filled with Gu pits, with colorful Gu insects crawling in and out one after another. The rustling sounds of countless insect feet were enough to make one's head tingle.
A few slippery soft-bodied poisonous insects crawled by, leaving a few streaks of slime on the ground, just like a painter painting, adding a bit of horror to this stone chamber.
At this time, a pair of slender white legs took light steps, crossed the poison pits, and came to the depths of the stone chamber.
Luo Ling'er lifted her skirt and approached the pit where the King Kong Gu was. She looked at the Gu worms inside that had grown to the size of a fist and smiled softly.
It is not easy to cultivate the Vajra Gu. If she were to cultivate it from scratch now, if it weren't for the fact that Kuxiu Mountain happened to have the various materials she needed to cultivate the Gu worms, she wouldn't know how much it would cost to cultivate it to maturity.
In the poison pit next to it, there were five poisonous creatures quietly lying: the seven-tailed centipede, the blue ice poison lizard, the red-blooded silver snake, the seven-orifice yellow scorpion and the phantom flame toad.
Luo Linger pursed her lips and smiled, then threw the third-level monster, the Boar, in her hand.
Seeing the blood food, the five poisonous creatures that had been lying quietly suddenly moved and pounced on the mountain boar. The latter was immediately frightened to the point of shit and urine flying everywhere, and was so terrified that it was about to be sent out through the poison pit.
"Ow"
After a scream, the pit returned to silence, with only the faint sound of eating being heard.
"Little cuties, eat well and grow up quickly."
Luo Ling'er looked at the poisonous insects in the stone chamber, and suddenly she looked towards the door as if she had realized something. Then she excitedly lifted her skirt and walked out.
"Master, you have finished your training."
She looked towards the broad figure in the cave, walked forward and greeted him softly.
"just ended."
Chen An, who had just finished practicing the Demonic Ape Body Refining Exercise, was shirtless and covered in sweat.
The mana in his body shook, dispelling the sweat. He glanced in the direction of the Gu insect room, turned around and asked, "How are the Gu insects you raised?"
There are poisons everywhere in the Gu insect room, but it is isolated by a formation, so there is no need to worry about the Gu insects sneaking out.
"Several have been cultivated."
Luo Linger opened her red lips and said, "I've noticed that you've been practicing slowly lately, and your physical training seems to have been stuck at the third stage for a long time. I have a method that can help you break through to the fourth stage of physical training as soon as possible!"
"Oh? Do you have any method?" Chen An's eyes lit up and he said with a burning gaze.
The subsequent Demon Ape Body Refining Technique was not gained from the spiritual field, so it could only be cultivated slowly. With the slow progress, he was quite tempted by these words.
"Five Poisons Body Refining!"
"Five poisons to refine the body?"
"That's right. Using the poisonous gases of the seven-tailed centipede, blue ice poisonous lizard, red blood silver snake, seven-orifice yellow scorpion and phantom flame toad to refine the body, supplemented by the diamond poison, and then soaking in a medicinal bath afterwards, can not only stimulate the physical cultivation and achieve the effect of accelerating the progress of cultivation, but also increase the physical defense and anti-toxic ability in the long run."
Luo Ling'er told the story and Chen An listened with great interest. However, as he heard more and more benefits, his brows furrowed more and more tightly: "I'm afraid that the Five Poison Body Refining has some major drawbacks."
He didn't believe that this method could be without any disadvantages, otherwise, everyone in the Five Poison Sect would have been as powerful as a dragon.
Luo Linger nodded and said, "You are right. There are indeed great disadvantages. If you use the Five Poisons to refine your body for a long time, toxins will remain in your body. At the very least, it will affect your future cultivation, and at the worst, it will damage your lifespan."
Her face tightened, and she was afraid that Chen An might misunderstand her, so she hurriedly continued: "This is the method of refining the body with the Big Five Poisons. There is also the Small Five Poisons, which have a smaller impact, and the Ice Marrow Worm."
He listed three methods of assisting in body training, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The ice marrow worm had no side effects, but its effect was minimal.
The Minor Five Poisons are relatively moderate, but the toxins accumulated over time should not be underestimated. However, among the three methods, the fastest and most powerful one is the Great Five Poisons Body Refining Method.
Chen An pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "The Great Five Poisons."
"The Great Five Poisons are effective, but the toxin problem has far-reaching consequences. Even I, who practiced the Five Poisons Sutra at the time, couldn't solve it. How about you..." Luo Ling'er reminded with a worried look. She originally thought that Chen An would choose the Ice Marrow Worm.
"Don't worry, I have a way to solve the problem of the Five Poisons."
Chen An waved his hand and said calmly.
But then he recalled the scene when he used the Five Thunder Curse to remove the poison from Chen Zhan and Ning Jianqin, and he couldn't help but sigh. He never expected that one day this would happen to him.
"Since you have a method, I will prepare the poisonous insects and medicinal bath for you."
Luo Ling'er had no doubt about this. Following Chen An's instructions, she turned back to the insect room and began to busy herself with using the five poisons to help Chen An refine his body.
On this day, the door of the poisonous insect room in the cave slowly opened, and Chen An walked out slowly with a pale face and slightly unsteady steps.
He stumbled out and looked up to see a huge wooden barrel standing not far away. Inside was a mixture of dozens of spiritual medicines. The steaming medicinal bath was emitting a scent mixed with the mixture of spiritual medicines wafting towards him.
"Master, please, after practicing with the Great Five Poisons, it is best to soak in a medicinal bath immediately to maximize the effect of the practice."
Luo Ling'er came forward, and under her service, Chen An took off his clothes and dived into the wooden barrel for medicinal bath.
After all, she is a puppet and does not have the functions of a normal human being, so Chen An does not shy away from it.
As soon as I came into contact with the boiling hot medicinal bath, I could immediately feel the rich medicinal power penetrating into my body through my pores.
Chen An hurriedly sat cross-legged in the bathtub, practicing his skills over and over again, absorbing the medicinal power from the water around him and slowly strengthening his body.
At the same time, he also noticed that there were several dark green particles lurking in the deepest part of his body.
This is the poisonous gas of the remaining five poisonous insects!
Unlike the poisonous spiritual power cultivated from the Five Poisons Sutra, the poisonous gas of the five poisons combined is far more troublesome than the former.
Chen An smiled lightly and immediately performed the Five Thunder Curse. A bolt of lightning flashed through his body and the dark green particles immediately dissipated and came out through his pores mixed with sweat.
That's it?
No wonder. Chen An was in the late third stage of physical cultivation and had undergone years of body tempering with the Five Thunder Curse, so his tolerance to lightning had increased a lot. Only then was he able to clear all the toxins from his body with one powerful blow.
After several hours, the bucket of medicinal bath turned into clear water.
Chen Anton felt refreshed: "At this rate, in just a few years, I can save myself more than ten years of hard work!"
With Luo Ling'er's help, Chen An quickly put on his clothes.
The devil's way, on a certain mountain peak.
An old man with kind eyes and a slightly pale face slowly walked out of a hidden cave.
He stretched his limbs and cried with joy: "Heaven will not destroy me, Ji Yin!" After years of practice, he merged the spare Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet and successfully restored his lower body.
However, he also became half human, half puppet.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I send the news of the Five Poisonous Demons' death at the hands of Chen An to the Poisonous Demon Lord, I don't believe he won't be angry!"
The old man Ji Yin said viciously that after he almost lost his life, he naturally wanted to take revenge, but he would not do it himself. He planned to use the same old trick again and use the strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf.
However, this place is located on the border between the righteous and evil paths, so it is not advisable to stay here for long. It is better to return to the Jiyin Gate first.
"Who?!"
The eyes of the Ji Yin Patriarch flashed with ferocity, and with a wave of his hand, a giant hand made of Yin energy reached out towards the figure in the distance.
"Senior, please spare my life. I'm just passing by!" An anxious voice begging for mercy was heard.
"You are Cui Shuosheng, the Palace Master of Lihuo Palace?"
Ji Yin looked at the somewhat familiar face in front of him and said with a strange expression.
"You got the wrong person. My last name is not Cui."
He wanted to make a few more excuses, but when Cui Shuosheng saw the person in front of him clearly, he immediately lost his temper.
The two sects had fought before, and both had seen each other from a distance several times, so they definitely couldn't hide it.
"Why are you here?" Old Ancestor Ji Yin asked, but did not kill immediately.
"I I escaped"
Having lost his life in the hands of others, Cui Shuosheng, who was in a miserable state, did not hide anything and told everyone roughly about the loss of the Palace Master of Lihuo Palace.
The eyes of the Ji Yin Patriarch sparkled, and he said with a smile: "Do you want to take back the Lihuo Palace?"
The two of them chatted with each other, and soon, a burst of laughter was heard over the mountain.
Beishan Lingtian.
After several rounds of expansion, the area of the spiritual field has expanded again and again, and now it is almost ten acres in size.
On the periphery is the third-level spiritual field, where many third-level spiritual plants collected over the years are planted. Some of them, such as dragon blood ginseng and golden crow grass, are quite useful to Chen An.
Further inside is the fourth-level spiritual field, with spiritual plants such as Xuantian Qingma, Jiulunfengcao, and Ginseng Golden Leaf.
Among them, the golden ginseng leaves are the main ingredients for refining the infant-cultivating pill. Under Chen An's focused cultivation, they are growing well.
And in the very center, was that acre of fifth-level spiritual field!
The Eight Spirit Treasure Tree planted on it has grown into a fifth-level spiritual tree after several rebirths. The several-foot-long tree trunk, although not yet fully grown, has already been emitting rich spiritual energy continuously. Beishan can become a fifth-level spiritual land largely because of this tree.
Around the fairy tree, there are large areas of Yu Linglong. They are no longer as scarce as they were in the past. Now Chen Shuang is wandering in the ocean of Yu Linglong. He can practice wherever he wants. The issue of spiritual bodies is no longer a problem.
Several of the thousand-year-old Yulinglong trees, after three years of gestation, have a milky white aura lingering between their branches and leaves, dancing up and down like fireflies.
Chen An did not disturb Chen Shuang who was practicing in the Yu Linglong bush. He quietly collected a dozen Linglong essences, then turned around, left the spiritual field, and returned to the cave.
Now that he has more and more Linglong essence, he can refine a few furnaces of infant-cultivating pills from time to time. With these two approaches, Chen An's cultivation is becoming more and more profound.
I thought I could continue practicing like this, but unexpectedly, one day, Chen Fengshuo came all the way from the Yinmo Sect.
"I have almost collected the several spiritual materials you asked me to collect before. I came back this time specifically for this matter."
Chen Fengshuo presented a storage bag. He had a reserved aura. After so many years of training in the magic world, he had completely lost the edge of his youth.
"well done."
Chen An took a quick look and nodded slightly. In this way, the materials for building the long-distance teleportation array would be exactly the same, and there would even be some left over.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Fengshuo started talking about the situation of the Yinmo Sect.
After years of operation, the Yinmo City has gradually grown in size. Some resources that are relatively scarce in the magic world are now in large supply in Yinmo City, gradually attracting many magic practitioners.
However, a tall tree attracts the wind. Yinmo City is so lucrative, and there is no Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, which gradually attracted the attention of several Jindan stage demon cultivators.
Fortunately, Chen Fengshuo had good skills and was protected by the Netherworld Ghost Fire, so he was able to cope with it.
"I can handle it now, but this is not a solution. As long as Yinmo City is still developing, there will be a constant stream of villains who want to take advantage of it. I beg Kuxiushan to send more people to help me protect Yinmo City."
Chen Fengshuo looked worried. He had built Yinmo City with his own hands and put in a lot of effort. He didn't want it to fall into the hands of others in the future.
Chen An pondered for a moment and agreed, "It's really not going to work if we continue like this. You should go back to the city first. Don't worry, I will send someone over in a few days to help you solve this kind of problem completely!"
"Yes!"
Chen Fengshuo's eyes were burning. After getting the reply, he did not beg for immediate additional manpower. He knew that Chen An was determined to keep his word and would do what he said.
After getting a satisfactory answer, he said goodbye and left.
But just after leaving the cave, he saw a beautiful woman coming towards him, holding a bamboo basket full of magical herbs.
When she saw Chen Fengshuo, she smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.
Chen Fengshuo was startled for a moment, then he hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior!"
He was shocked. When did another Nascent Soul cultivator appear in Kuxiu Mountain?
"Ling'er, I have something I need you to do."
Chen An gently called Luo Ling'er, who was fiddling with the elixirs needed for the medicinal bath, to his side.
"Master, whatever you say."
"Didn't you say before that the Demon Lord Gu Du was in seclusion to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and is now in a critical period of cultivation?"
Chen An took out the Blood Sea Flute and the Eternal Soul Monument, handed them to Luo Ling'er, and said, "Take these two spiritual treasures, return to the Five Poison Sect, and take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and kill the Gu Poison Demon Lord. With your body as the Ten Thousand Blood Sky Demon Puppet, the Gu Poison and these two spiritual treasures to help you, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Slave, you obey!"
Luo Ling'er took the two spiritual treasures without hesitation. When she touched the treasures and felt the evil blood energy on them, she looked excited and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The Blood Sea Flute and the Monument of Ten Thousand Souls through the Ages are perfectly suited to her current strength!
"Oh, by the way, let's go to the Yin Demon Sect and kill some bugs."
After giving the instructions, Chen An asked her to go and prepare. After all, this operation was of great importance and there was no room for carelessness.
It was not until three months later that Luo Ling'er set off with the two spiritual treasures.
Chen An naturally trusted him.
Feeling the mysterious connection with the other party, he began to practice in seclusion in the cave without fail.
This sitting lasted for several years.
Until this day.
The spiritual energy in the North Mountain surged and gathered towards Chen An’s cave residence like a dragon sucking water.
Suddenly, as a four-inch-tall little man appeared above the cave, laughing and playing, a breath of mid-Nascent Soul stage spread out and covered the entire North Mountain.
Chen Shuang, who was cultivating in the Lingtian Yulinglong bush, had a gleam of light in her beautiful eyes. She looked at the little man in the distance with an incredible expression: "Elder, you have made another breakthrough!"
