Chapter 0023 Selection of Merits
His body turned into a jade pot, and spiritual liquid fell from the sky and poured into his whole body from the Baihui point.
The broken body looked like a giant beast that had just awakened from hibernation, so hungry that it could swallow the sky and devour all the spiritual fluid.
The Kunlun Jade Pot Technique was performed again and again, and the spiritual fluid was swallowed up again and again.
He clearly felt that his body was recovering rapidly, even better than before.
The spirit is stronger.
My ears and sense of smell suddenly became much sharper.
Luo Qinglan's long and even breathing, Lao Wang's short and heavy breathing, the gurgling of boiling water in the next room, and the breeze blowing through the plum treetops in the courtyard.
He was secretly delighted.
Is it true that there is no construction without destruction?
Is this the correct way to use the Kunlun Jade Pot Technique?
He quickly composed himself and began to reminisce, replaying the memories frame by frame like a movie.
Starting from the four middle-aged men holding purple sticks, until they had beaten him with twenty lashes, until he was carried into Old Wang's yard, Luo Qinglan saved him.
The scenes played out in his mind frame by frame. Even after he fell unconscious, the surrounding scenes were still vivid in his mind.
It's as if there is another system in the brain still operating, driving the five senses to observe and record everything happening around.
This system is the supercomputer Yitian that he has integrated.
Through the playback, he clearly saw the subtle expressions on Qin Tiannan's face, his flashing eyes, and the look of the swordsman Han Pingchuan.
He vaguely analyzed that Qin Tiannan did not want to kill him, but Han Pingchuan did.
The four men holding purple sticks and the two men wielding whips looked gloomy as if they were wearing iron masks, and it was difficult to analyze their thoughts.
He saw the worry of Song Minghua and the other two, and Sun Guiwu trembled with the sound of the whip, as if the whip was hitting him.
There were also Zhou Wangchuan's three followers shouting and yelling, their eyes shining.
He could clearly see the gloating, grief and zombie-like indifference on the faces of the people around him.
"Oh..." He let out a long breath, and the pain surged in like a tide, and he couldn't help but let out a groan.
This is the punishment for being impulsive, it hurts so damn much!
The Kunlun Jade Pot Technique strengthens the body but does not relieve pain.
What happened this time reminded him that this was an extremely real world and he could not do whatever he wanted. Even though he was a reborn person, he could not act arbitrarily, otherwise he would be beaten to death.
It also proves once again that Qin Tiannan cannot be relied upon.
As for Han Pingchuan, this account should be recorded in a small notebook and we should find a chance to settle it.
He opened his eyes and met Old Wang's concerned gaze.
"Awake?" Old Wang laughed.
"Don't move." Luo Qinglan's clear voice came from behind.
"Awake." Li Chengkong grinned. The pain made him tremble slightly, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
"It's good that you're awake." Old Wang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Madam will take action, you won't die!"
"I'll go change my clothes first." Li Chengkong said embarrassedly.
He couldn't stand the smell of himself.
"The hot water is ready." Old Wang said, "It's time for you to take a shower!"
Luo Qinglan withdrew his white jade palms and floated down to the bed: "If you don't want to hurt your foundation, insist on soaking for half an hour."
She looked deeply at Li Chengkong with her clear eyes.
She could clearly feel with her palms that Li Chengkong's body was getting better quickly, and judged that there was something wrong with Li Chengkong's physique.
A genius indeed!
"Thank you, ma'am." Li Chengkong clasped his fist with difficulty.
Luo Qinglan waved his hand.
Li Chengkong pushed away the hand that Old Wang was holding and got down from the bed with difficulty. These movements had made his clothes soaked with sweat.
He did not feel weak, but full of strength. However, every slight movement affected his entire body and the pain level increased by two levels.
Old Wang took him to a room next door, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he was hit by a fresh fragrance.
A round wooden barrel stands in the center of the room.
It is one meter high, with wisps of white steam wafting out from the gaps in the roof, giving off a refreshing fragrance.
"You're going in by yourself?" Old Wang said.
Li Chengkong nodded.
Old Wang smiled and shook his head, brought two stools, one tall and one short, placed a linen shirt next to the stools, then went out and closed the door.
Li Chengkong saw that the door was closed tightly, then he took off his clothes with a grimace, slowly moved into the wooden barrel like a robot, and then let out a scream.
Old Wang and Luo Qinglan stood in the middle of the courtyard. When they heard the screams, they laughed and said, "That's enough for him!"
Luo Qinglan smiled.
The three Shuyudan pills were dissolved in hot water. The medicinal effect was extremely strong and was of great benefit to his injuries and bones, but it was definitely painful.
Li Chengkong felt as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his skin, flesh, bones and marrow.
He wanted to tear himself into pieces, but he had to hold it back. He could only roar to relieve the pain, not caring about maintaining his image.
Amid Li Chengkong's roar, Old Wang said, "Madam, he can survive this time, but he won't be able to survive Zhou Wanghai."
"Yeah." Luo Qinglan said.
"Madam, are you going to just watch him die?" Old Wang said with a smile, "Cheng Kong is actually quite good."
"Master, you know I can't teach him the Holy Martial Arts." Luo Qinglan sighed, "Besides, it's difficult to learn the Holy Martial Arts. He was killed by Zhou Wanghai before he could even learn it."
Among the three religions and four sects, the martial arts of the three religions are sudden learning, while the martial arts of the four sects are gradual learning.
The requirements for sudden learning are extremely high in aptitude and understanding. One must have the best aptitude to learn it. If one does not have enough aptitude, the difficulty will be as great as an innate chasm.
Gradual learning has low requirements for aptitude and understanding. Even people with ordinary or even dull aptitude can get started and practice.
Old Wang shook his head: "Is this Chengkong's fate?"
His martial arts cannot be learned overnight, so it is too late to teach him now.
Li Chengkong's roar continued, but his voice became hoarse.
"Alas..." Old Wang sighed: "What a pity..."
Luo Qinglan said: "The only way is to survive after death. I do have a secret technique."
"What secret technique?" Old Wang asked hurriedly.
Luo Qinglan said: "It is an evil skill recorded in the Qinglian Sacred Scripture."
Old Wang was in high spirits: "It has a big background! The martial arts recorded in the Azure Lotus Sacred Scripture are definitely not ordinary martial arts."
Luo Qinglan's beautiful face showed hesitation.
"Now it doesn't matter whether it is evil or not, the key is to save his life." Old Wang said: "After passing this level, we can destroy the evil power."
"How can it be that simple." Luo Qinglan shook his head gently: "If it is so easy to break, it can't be called an evil skill."
"Madam, please tell me about it."
"This skill is called Momentary Beauty."
"What a nice name! ... But it doesn't sound very auspicious."
"After practicing this skill, your life span is only one year." Luo Qinglan said slowly: "Within this year, your martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds. One month is equivalent to ten years, and twelve months is equivalent to one hundred and twenty years. You will die at the strongest, and your life will be as brilliant as fireworks."
"It's really unlucky." Old Wang shook his head: "I can only live for one year, how can this be possible!"
"At least one year."
"What's the difference between a year and a month?"
"...There is another evil skill." Luo Qinglan said: "The Heaven Swallowing and Earth Absorbing Divine Skill."
"This..." Old Wang frowned.
The famous Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Absorbing Divine Art is a notorious evil art in the world. It can devour the internal energy of others for its own use and gain something without any effort.
However, this evil skill has great disadvantages and it is almost certain to lead to death due to possession. No one has ever been able to practice it to the Falling Stars Realm, let alone the Shooting Moon Realm and the Great Light Realm.
"Wait until you pass Zhou Wanghai's level, and then destroy him." Luo Qinglan said.
"This is the only way." Old Wang nodded slowly.
Li Chengkong waited until the medicine soup cooled down and the ants' gnawing sensation disappeared, then he left the wooden barrel, put on his new clothes, and went outside.
When Old Wang mentioned the two martial arts, Li Chengkong shook his head.
He said that he just wanted a better mental method, which didn't have to be too strong, just to allow him to cross the Liyuan realm.
One day of his practice is equivalent to two months of hard training for others. He has mastered the mental method and believes that he will be able to enter the Mufeng or even Four Symbols realm soon.
By then, with the Qiankun style and his own super calculation, he might not be able to stop Zhou Wanghai.
The Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Absorbing Divine Art is an evil art and should be avoided.
Everyone thinks they are different, but the final result shows that they are no different from others.
Most importantly, he didn't need it.
"Chengkong, let's get through this first." Old Wang said, "You'll have plenty of time in the future anyway, so you can just practice again if you fail."
Li Chengkong shook his head.
Luo Qinglan said: "Chengkong, you can't expect Zhou Wanghai to come back very late... Swallowing Heaven and Absorbing Earth Magical Skill can at least allow you to recover your cultivation quickly."
Li Chengkong smiled.
Luo Qinglan asked "Huh" and stared at Li Chengkong with clear eyes.
She had a high level of cultivation and was very sensitive. She sensed that Li Chengkong's cultivation was recovering rapidly and in the blink of an eye he had reached the perfection of the Liyuan realm.
"It seems you have had some extraordinary encounter." Luo Qinglan said.
Li Chengkong smiled.
"Now that you have recovered your cultivation, you don't need to practice the Heaven Swallowing and Earth Absorbing Divine Art," Luo Qinglan pondered, "but your imperfect body is too rare to find a suitable mental method."
The human body is extremely sophisticated, surpassing any machine. All advanced martial arts are extremely delicate, and the slightest imperfection will have a huge impact.
If one practices with an imperfect body, the worst outcome would be going astray or death.
"Not even one?" Old Wang said.
Li Chengkong stared at her beautiful face.
Luo Qinglan said, "I got this mental method by chance a few years ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I just flipped through it and have almost forgotten it."
"Can you find it?" Old Wang asked hurriedly.
Li Chengkong's eyes became more earnest.
"It was thrown into the Shengwu Hall of the church."
