Chapter 157: Cold Pond Body Refining
In the past year, the people of Blue Star have obtained news from the Internet, television and other terminals about wild beasts attacking villages, eating crops, stealing livestock, and even attacking villagers, tourists and passing vehicles.
Significantly increased.
In the vast African continent, there were even tribes that were completely razed to the ground by wild beasts.
It’s a pity that because these news are neither explosive enough nor as eye-catching as those from popular stars, they obviously did not attract much attention from ordinary people.
Many people even thought that this was fake news fabricated by an unscrupulous editor.
The comment section is a disaster.
However, when ordinary people were unaware, officials and militaries of various countries had already taken quiet action, entering deep mountains and dense forests to capture those mutated beasts.
Either kill it, drag it to a zoo for treatment, or simply take it to some mysterious laboratory.
There were also private groups involved.
Scientists subconsciously speculated that these animals must have been infected with some unknown virus, causing genetic mutations, and they wanted to cut them into slices inside and out for research.
Because the range of the wild animal mutations was so wide, almost covering every corner of the world, it even caused panic among leaders of various countries, who held emergency video conferences again and again.
Fearing that another doomsday disaster might sweep the world, we are extremely vigilant.
The result is,
These mutations seem to occur only in animals and do not appear to have any effect on humans.
Further research by scientists has shown that these mutations seem to be positive and are all mutating in the direction of species evolution.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted attention from all parties.
The Black Hawk Country, across the Pacific Ocean, even ambitiously restarted the "Super Soldier" program, hoping to transplant these mutant genes into the soldiers.
To this end, a huge amount of money was spent.
In China, because of the dual information channels of Taoism and the wealthy areas, the authorities are already well aware of the truth behind the beast mutation.
We have already sent troops into the mountains to eliminate hidden dangers in an organized and planned manner.
Because the incident was handled effectively, it did not cause any waves among the people, nor did it cause any casualties among the villagers. In this peaceful and prosperous era, there was a group of respectable and lovely people who were carrying the burden for the people.
It is precisely because China behaved too "normally" that it aroused the vigilance of various countries.
Some conspirators are already speculating whether China knows something, as the activities of spies from various countries have become noticeably more active.
The conflicts between countries seem to be even more irreconcilable.
The world is changing.
…
Three months later, at Black and White Mountain Villa.
The continuous refining of equipment finally digested all the accumulated ore inventory during this period. In order to store the semi-finished products, Qin Mo even hollowed out the entire belly of the Black and White Mountain.
On this day, Qin Mo left the villa quietly without saying hello to Xiao Diao Chan.
People who practice cultivation must get used to loneliness and even more so to separation. Qin Mo doesn't want Diao Chan to be too dependent on him, as that would affect her future state of mind in practicing Taoism.
Baby bird, one day you will spread your wings and fly.
As for Diao Chan's safety, there is no need to worry at all.
In order to protect the refining materials in the cave and also give the ferocious beasts a holiday, Qin Mo summoned the Black Water Serpent, Candle Dragon, and Taotie from the Fulong Ding and released them into the Black and White Mountains shortly after returning to the villa.
And there is no plan to bring it back to the Zhu Xian subcontinent.
In the previous battle in Fenxiang Valley, the four ancient ferocious beasts were very dissatisfied with Qin Mo, their unscrupulous master, who drained them of their power just when they had just recovered their demonic power.
The arrogant yellow bird even threatened to stop riding!
There was no choice but Qin Mo could only promise not to activate the Four Spirits Demon Formation in the next two years to give the four ferocious beasts a longer recovery period.
Lest they actually go on strike.
Taotie and others lived in the Black and White Mountains. When they were hungry, they would go to the surrounding mountains and forests to hunt for food. Invisibly, they also eliminated many monster threats to the Black and White Mountains.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
…
After coming out of the teleportation array, Qin Mo entered Heyang City.
At this time, Heyang City had completely recovered. There was no trace of the disaster. There was singing and dancing everywhere, and the streets were bustling with traffic.
Qin Mo entered Shanhaiyuan and found a seat in the lobby on the first floor.
Strangely, the diners who came and went did not talk about the Qingyun Sect's Taoist Master Daoxuan's possession of the devil. It was as if that world-shaking event had never happened and had simply disappeared into thin air.
The story of that disaster had long been compiled into a vernacular novel by storytellers and sung everywhere.
Just the content,
It is completely different from the truth at that time.
Yet the diners were listening with great interest and had no intention of reflecting on the situation at all. They just took it for fun.
People's memories of pain are indeed short-lived.
Qin Mo felt very bored, so he made a mark in the corner of the restaurant, booked a guest room, and stayed in Shanhaiyuan.
Someone knocked on the door at night.
It was the spy that the Demon Cult had deployed in Heyang City. He bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Leader!" The excitement in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Has there been any changes in Qingyun Sect recently?" Qin Mo asked.
"According to the information we received, Taoist Master Daoxuan seemed to have been subdued by a mysterious old man from the ancestral temple, together with several chief monks including Tian Buyi, and placed in Huanyue Cave Mansion."
“No wonder…”
Qin Mo understood what was going on. The mysterious old man was naturally Wan Jianyi .
"Then, who is in charge of Qingyun Sect now? Is it the mysterious old man?" Qin Mo asked.
"Qingyun Sect is now headed by Xiao Yicai ."
In fact,
In the past year, not only Xiao Yicai, but also younger disciples like Qi Hao, Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu, Song Daren and others have either formally or semi-formally stepped to the front.
Assume the responsibilities of the head of each lineage.
After the disaster, Qingyun Sect is taking this opportunity to complete a new round of replacement of the old with the new.
As expected of an ancient sect that has existed for a thousand years, its profound heritage cannot be compared to that of Fenxiang Valley. Whenever it encounters a major disaster, it can always recover in the shortest time possible.
Even higher up .
It can be predicted that when this group of people grows up, Qingyun Sect will be even stronger than before.
" Has there been any major events in the church recently?" Qin Mo asked again.
"Master, everything is normal." The spy's expression tensed, and he said, "Just one thing, it seems that Wei Tianli and other strange disciples are instigating the deputy master to deal with Tianyin Temple recently."
Qin Mo's eyes fixed.
Wei Tianli and others were planning to take over Tianyin Temple, but of course their real intention was not to take over the temple. Their real intention was probably the fourth volume of the heavenly book stored on the wordless jade disk of Tianyin Temple.
In order to collect all five volumes of the heavenly book.
"I understand. You can go down!" Qin Mo didn't say anything in the end.
If Wei Tianli and others are willing to make trouble, let them do it. The Ghost King should not be impulsive and arbitrarily change the major plans and policies he had previously set.
…
After leaving Heyang City, Qin Mo immediately summoned the yellow bird and flew to the wild land in the northwest.
Arrived at the temple safely.
A year and a half has passed, and everything here remains the same as before.
The forbidden entrance to the Nether Abyss has not changed much either, and is still so looming.
Qin Mo did not hesitate and entered the Abyss again.
For an existence like Mingyuan that has existed for tens of millions of years, a year seems like a moment. Except for the disappearance of Zhulong in the cold pond, nothing has changed.
There is nothing worth reminiscing about.
Qin Mo immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the cold pond, starting the water tribulation of the Five Elements.
According to Zhulong, the cold pool is 10,000 meters deep, and the deeper you go, the colder the water gets. Even with Zhulong's ability, he could only live in the 3,000-meter area.
It is the best place to practice water disaster.
The so-called water disaster is actually very simple. It is to continuously use the water from the cold pond to stimulate the skin, flesh, tendons and bones, and temper the internal organs.
Ultimately it stimulates cells throughout the body, causing them to develop resistance to ice.
Another benefit is that the meridians will become tougher after being tempered by the water of the cold pond, and the magic power in the dantian will become more condensed and pure.
It will be helpful for future practice.
But surviving the flood is not that easy.
The most difficult thing is that the water in this cold pond is extremely yin. If you soak in the cold water for a long time, the whole body will be frozen stiff at best, and even the circulation of magic power will be frozen at worst.
If that's the case, how can the secret technique be used?
Therefore, it is recorded in "Eight-Nine Profound Art" that in order to successfully survive the water disaster, one needs to find a pure yang magic weapon to protect the body and use pure yang true energy to fight against the cold at all times.
Such harmony of yin and yang may even have miraculous effects.
As luck would have it, Qin Mo had a pure yang treasure in his hand, which was the Xuanhuojian that he had taken from Yun Yilan.
But he did not return it to Gui Li.
Strictly speaking, Qin Mo did not owe Gui Li anything. Instead, Gui Li owed him a lot. He also took the Xuanhuojian from Yun Yilan, so there was no reason for him to return it.
certainly,
Qin Mo was not a heartless person. He copied a copy of the "Jade Book of Incense Burning" and gave it to Gui Li.
The Xuanhuojian can only provide a temporary solution to Gui Li.
Only by practicing the "Burning Incense Jade Book" to an extremely high level and cultivating pure yang fire in oneself can one resist the evil spirit of the Soul-Devouring Rod.
It is a fundamental solution.
Both Gui Li himself and Bi Yao were moved to tears for Qin Mo's generous gift.
In this way, Gui Li will create a new record. With the power of one person, he can not only practice Buddhism, Taoism and magic, but also master all the skills of the three major sects of Taoism.
It is truly amazing.
Only someone with a strong character like Gui Li can achieve this.
This is a later story.
…
From that day on, Qin Mo never left the cold pond again.
Holding the Mysterious Fire Mirror, he initially dived at a speed of fifty meters a day, then gradually became forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...
As we got further back, every meter of descent became more and more difficult.
Time passed by little by little during this boring and dangerous practice...
