Chapter 183: Refining the Five Elements with Kryptonian Life! Nine new skills!
In the bathing pool made of white marble.
Ni Kun had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, showing off his lean and smooth muscle lines. Half of his body was immersed in the hot water, with his arms spread out, his back leaning against the pool wall, his head tilted back, his eyes squinting, and he was taking a comfortable bath.
Occasionally, a string of tiny bubbles would float on the water in front of him, and wisps of golden hair would be faintly visible under the steaming water.
A full half hour passed.
Ni Kun suddenly said:
"Tsunade, if you can't hold on any longer, come out and breathe. You've been diving for so long, don't force yourself."
Gurgle...
A series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the pool, floated to the surface, and suddenly burst.
Miraculously, when the bubble burst, Tsunade's slightly muffled voice came out from it:
"Don't underestimate me! It's only been a short while. I'm a professional medical ninja, and I've also practiced the Human Immortal Martial Arts. With my current lung capacity, it's not a problem for me to hold my breath underwater for more than ten hours... Gurgle..."
A swallowing sound was heard, and it sounded like he finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and was choking.
However, Ni Kun took a deep breath, put one hand into the water, and held down Tsunade's golden hair, which looked even smoother under the water.
After a while, the water surface rippled, and Tsunade, with a rosy face and watery eyes, emerged from the water. She raised her hand to lift her wet long hair, licked her lips with her bright red tongue, and smiled at him:
"How is it? Is the Kung Fu I learned from Zhu Jun and the others okay?"
"Not bad." Ni Kun nodded in appreciation, then changed the subject:
"But there is one shortcoming: you haven't learned the essence of the enchanting and charming spirit of the Yin Gui demon girls, and you always look careless. If your eyes and expressions were a little more charming, it would be more perfect."
"Tsk, I'm a real talent, I don't need to learn those fancy performances."
Tsunade stood up, put her hands on her hips, and held her head high, showing her strength.
Ni Kun took a look at her good figure that almost burst her swimsuit, and had to admit:
"Well, you really only need hard power to do it."
"Hehe..." Tsunade smiled triumphantly and went behind Ni Kun:
"Move forward, it's time to start a new project."
Ni Kun followed his instructions and moved forward to make room for Tsunade.
Tsunade came behind Ni Kun and sat down. Then there was a slight snapping sound. In Ni Kun's mind, a very vivid image of a swimsuit bursting and bouncing out emerged.
Next, Tsunade put her arms around Ni Kun's ribs and pressed them against his chest, with her chest and abdomen pressed firmly against his back. She also put her legs around his waist and stepped lightly on his thighs.
With her hands, she massaged Ni Kun's chest and abdomen acupuncture points with the professional techniques of a medical ninja. Her pair of white, tender and delicate feet also massaged his leg acupuncture points with her flexible toes.
With her chest and abdomen pressing tightly against his back, Ni Kun couldn't help but squint his eyes again, revealing a look of comfort.
"Tsunade, did you learn this from Yuyan and the others?"
"I also combined it with my own professional massage skills as a medical ninja."
Tsunade was a little proud:
"My technique, combined with my chakra, can not only relax the muscles and activate blood circulation, but also strengthen the body. If you use it regularly, the effect is no worse than exercise!"
"Well, that's good. It seems that you are good at using your brain and applying what you have learned."
"Well, that doesn't sound like a good thing..."
"You misunderstood. I was just praising you... "
As he spoke, Tsunade's feet, which were stepping on his thighs, had moved into his bath towel, causing Ni Kun to stop talking abruptly.
After a moment of silence, Ni Kun asked in a muffled voice: "Did you learn this skill from Wan Wan?"
"Well. How is it? You've learned it quite well." Tsunade said proudly.
Ni Kun praised: "Very good, you can put what you have learned into practice, you are almost ready to become a master."
After a while, Ni Kun suddenly said:
"I've been taking this bath for a long time. The water is getting cold... It's time to get out."
"Then..." Tsunade put her chin on his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Should I hold you, or should you hold me?"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "Of course I will hug you."
After saying that, they stood up together, picked up Tsunade's soft, plump, fair and tender body, and walked towards the couch in the corner of the bathroom.
Now that we have had our fill of appetizers, it is time for dinner.
…
Happy times are always short. Ni Kun knew the crisis this world was facing and would not indulge in pleasure. Early the next morning, he began a new round of retreat.
Tsunade, also full of positive energy, announced that she would go into seclusion to study Wood Release.
So the heavy burden of looking after the house fell on Xiaoqing alone.
Fortunately, Li Xiuning came over soon accompanied by Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng. Xiaoqing finally had a playmate, and she invited Li Xiuning, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng to play mahjong - of course, she had to teach Li Xiuning and the others how to play mahjong first.
However, mahjong is simple and easy to learn. With the intelligence of Li Xiuning, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng, they quickly got the hang of it. Then they were attracted by the charm of this national quintessence and immersed in the fun of playing mahjong.
"Sister Xiaoqing, when will Master Ni be able to come out from his retreat this time?"
"I don't know. The master said that this retreat is very crucial. It is a big threshold on his path of cultivation. If he can cross this threshold, he will truly be on a bright road with a promising future. But it is hard to say how long it will take. Maybe it will only take a few days, or maybe it will take a few months..."
"Is that so... Sister Xiaoqing, everyone seems to be in seclusion, and you are the only one guarding the house. Isn't it too lonely? It's already late autumn. If Master Ni is in seclusion for too long, will you hibernate in winter? Then there will be no one to watch over the house?"
"I have already completely transformed, how can I be easily affected by instinct? Besides, by that time, the others should have come out of retreat..."
"That's true. But before the others come out of quarantine, Sister Xiaoqing, you're still alone. Why don't I move in with you for a while and keep you company?"
"Haha, whatever you want. The master has already said that you can come whenever you want..."
"Then it's settled. Hey, self-drawn, all the same color!"
"…Honestly, when you were talking to me just now, were you deliberately distracting me so that you could make a move secretly?"
"No, I just played it casually. I didn't expect to be so lucky..."
"Hehe, Xiao Chen, Xiao Mei, don't make eye contact or do anything tricky with Li Xiuning. I'm watching you."
"Ni Kun calls us Brother Chen and Sister Mei. Xiaoqing, you call us Little Chen and Little Mei. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"I am a great monster who has practiced for five hundred years."
"...Well, call us whatever you want..."
Here Xiaoqing was fighting alone, while in the secret room, Ni Kun was risking his life to test the law.
The path of integrating the five elements that he conceived was full of huge risks.
Although the path was already clear, we still did not dare to start practicing it easily because it was too dangerous.
After all, the path of integrating the five elements' spiritual veins and sublimating them into the five elements' bloodlines was purely developed and created by him, and he did not have any ready-made techniques or secrets to follow in his practice.
Whether it's the Five Elements Diagram of the Secret of Immortality or the Five Thunders Transformation Hand, they can only help him deepen his understanding of the Five Elements, but cannot give him any guidance on the integration of the Five Elements.
Ni Kun felt that his accumulation of knowledge about the Five Elements was insufficient, so he did not rashly put it into practice during the three months of retreat.
This time, he learned the "Five Elements Thunder Method", and his understanding of the Five Elements was deepened. Ni Kun felt that the time had come and he could almost put it into practice, so he officially began this difficult practice.
His five elements spiritual veins and spiritual roots are respectively entrenched in the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Although they can run in parallel without conflict, they are also clearly distinguished from each other.
What Ni Kun wants to do is to integrate the spiritual roots of the five elements stationed in the five internal organs into one, making them blend into one and indistinguishable from each other.
As for the specific method, it was not derived from his understanding of the Five Elements, but was inspired by Xu Fu's martial arts during his three months of retreat.
In Xu Fu's huge arsenal of skills, in addition to various martial arts and magical powers, there are also techniques such as fortune-telling, feng shui, and alchemy, which is Xu Fu's signature skill.
Ni Kun had a lot of money, so he learned all these very practical skills, and figured out a method based on numerology, numbers and alchemy.
That is to use oneself as the cauldron, use Qi, blood, spirit, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as fuel, use the five elements spiritual veins as medicinal materials, and refine a five-element elixir.
The first step in alchemy is to use the Five Thunders Hand to destroy the five internal organs and extract the spiritual roots of the five elements.
This step is extremely cruel and is tantamount to suicide.
Because when performing this step, one must remain in the state of flesh and blood - in fact, throughout the entire "alchemy" process, one must remain in the state of flesh and blood, and cannot transform into a wooden man without vital points.
As for the state of the collapse of the five internal organs, even one with the physique of a preliminary martial saint would not be able to withstand it and would surely die.
Fortunately, Ni Kun took the elixir of immortality.
Although the Phoenix Blood Immortal Body was also unable to withstand the wear and tear of the Five Thunders Transformation Hand and would destroy the five internal organs with the Five Thunders Transformation Hand, the Phoenix Blood Immortal Body would still die. But after all, he still had more than 5,000 years of life to squander.
For other immortals, no matter how much life span they have left, once they die, their life span will be reset to zero.
But Ni Kun is different. Even if he tortures himself to death, it will only deduct ten days from his maximum lifespan.
By dying and coming back to life again and again, we can always sum up enough experience and lessons to achieve our goals.
In his mind, he reviewed the experience of controlling the five spiritual bloodlines, as well as the insights gained from studying the Five Elements Diagram of the Longevity Secret, the Five Thunder Transformation Hand, the Five Elements Thunder Method, various medical books, the Book of Changes, and the Dao of Alchemy, and sorted out the "alchemy" steps he had created. Ni Kun resolutely activated the Five Thunder Transformation Hand Method on his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, releasing the thunder force that "rebelled against the five elements and destroyed matter" and flushed towards the five internal organs.
The next moment, Ni Kun's body swelled up uncontrollably like an over-inflated ball, and then violent lightning burst out from all the pores of his body, and he exploded and turned into powder...
Time goes back.
Ni Kun shortened his life by ten days, and returned with a calm face, muttering:
"Death is like the wind, always by my side."
Summarize the lessons learned from the previous failure and try again:
"I used too much force just now. I need to release the power of the Five Thunders slowly..."
The next moment, it was as if a black hole appeared in Ni Kun's chest, and his whole body collapsed rapidly inward, turning into a small thunder ball with five colors flowing. With a bang, he evaporated from the face of the earth.
Time goes back.
Ni Kun shortened his life by ten days again, and started anew, mumbling a sentence without changing his expression:
"I walk with death..."
Summarize experience and lessons, and start trying again.
After a few breaths, Ni Kun's whole body shook, and he lost all breath. Then his body turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then collapsed quickly, turning into a pile of ashes scattered on the ground.
"My friend died a thousand times at the beginning. What's this little setback?"
Ni Kun curled his lips and continued to try.
He tried again and again, constantly drawing lessons from his failures and correcting his methods. Ni Kun became more and more proficient in refining the "Five Elements Pill", but the number of deaths increased as well.
Unconsciously, the krypton life cheat suddenly dropped a light curtain from in front of the retina, refreshing a prompt:
"Congratulations to the host, your kryptonian life has reached a thousand days, and you have randomly awakened an ability... Ability awakening, you have obtained a new ability: Heavenly Demon Bliss."
After working so hard for so long, Ni Kun finally passed the first hurdle and successfully destroyed and refined the five internal organs, extracting five spiritual roots. The five elements of qi replaced the five internal organs and ensured the survival of the body.
Afterwards, the body is used as a furnace, the qi, blood, spirit, and spiritual energy of heaven and earth are used as fuel, and the five spiritual roots are used as medicinal materials to start refining the elixir.
He visualized a giant golden Buddha in his sea of consciousness, calming the five restless elements. He also stimulated his qi and blood, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and integrating it into his mental strength, wrapping up the five spiritual roots, which burned fiercely, and then burned out of control. Ni Kun died decisively.
He kept dying like this, and I didn’t know how much time had passed.
"Congratulations to the host, your krypton life has reached a thousand days, and you have randomly awakened an ability... Ability awakening, gaining a new ability: Hole Wave."
"Congratulations host... for obtaining a new ability: Crystal Wall."
"…gained a new ability: Chibaku Tensei."
"…gained new ability: Super invincible, I love you."
"…gained a new ability: turning beans into soldiers."
"…gained a new ability: The Buddha of Heaven descended to the world."
"…gained a new ability: Heavenly Legs."
"…gained a new ability: Thunder Shatters the World."
The awakening of krypton life cheat abilities is very random, and all kinds of weird skills may appear.
Look, the inexplicable moves like "Super Invincible I Love You" and the unsightly magical power like the Heavenly Cank Kick have all been refreshed.
Of course, there are still many practical and powerful skills, and Ni Kun's life skills have been greatly enriched for a while.
It is winter and there is heavy snow in Chang'an.
Xiaoqing sat under the eaves, hugging a thick mink fur coat, and sleepily looked at the heavy snow falling outside.
Kanan and Bai Qing'er were playing snowball fights in the snow with great enthusiasm. Zhu Yuyan was sitting leisurely in the pavilion, drinking wine and eating cakes while being served by Wen Caiting.
Tsunade, Li Xiuning, Chen Xuanfeng, and Mei Chaofeng were playing mahjong in the house, and the shouting coming from inside could be heard from this side.
Especially Tsunade, her shouting was the loudest and most energetic. I don’t know what she was so excited about. She had clearly come to her Xiaoqing to borrow money three times with a shameless face...
"Ah, I want to sleep, but the quilt is cold. I miss the master's body temperature so much..."
Although he has completely transformed and is no longer seriously affected by his snake instincts, Xiaoqing still feels tired and sleepy when the weather gets cold.
This made her miss Ni Kun's warm body temperature like a stove.
In fact, with her level of cultivation, she has long been immune to cold and heat.
However, instinct is extremely powerful. It can transform into a snake demon and cannot even drink realgar wine. Once it drinks it, it will reveal its true form.
So even though she is not afraid of the cold, Xiaoqing still hates the cold and yearns for warmth.
"The master has been in seclusion for nearly three months. The Yin Gui demon girls and Tsunade have all come out one after another. When will the master be able to come out?"
Xiaoqing yawned and thought absentmindedly.
In the secret room.
Ni Kun sat cross-legged without moving or making any sound. There was total silence, just like a clay puppet.
Suddenly, a wave of air rushed up above his head.
The air waves were five colors: red, white, green, yellow, and black. As the halo flowed, they blended into one, with you in me and me in you.
As this wave of air rushed out, Ni Kun's lifeless body suddenly regained vitality, his chest began to rise and fall, and the sound of a heartbeat as deep as thunder and the sound of blood rushing like a surging tide came from his body.
call……
Ni Kun opened his lips slightly and exhaled a deep breath, creating a gust of strong wind in the small room.
It took him a long while to exhale completely, and then he took another deep breath.
As he inhaled, the five-colored air waves above his head turned into wisps of five-colored light, pouring into his nostrils and settling into his lungs.
After the inhalation sound ended, Ni Kun finally opened his eyes. An extremely gorgeous five-colored halo flickered in his pupils. It took a while for it to disappear and return to its deep, abyss-like lacquer pupils.
"After more than nine thousand days of kryptonian life, the five elements bloodline is finally completed!"
After nearly three months of seclusion, from autumn to winter, he died again and again, spent more than 9,000 days in kryptonian life, and increased his kryptonian life skills by nine. Finally, after repeated death and rebirth, Ni Kun constantly summed up his experiences and lessons, revised his cultivation methods, and successfully realized his idea.
Using the physical body as the furnace, the Qi, blood, spirit, and spiritual energy of heaven and earth as fuel, and the five spiritual roots as medicinal materials, he refined a "Five Elements Pill".
Of course, this pill is not a pill, but a five-colored energy wave that is a combination of the five elements, which is circulating in his chest and abdomen at this moment.
The five internal organs that had collapsed when the five spiritual roots were extracted had been regenerated and restored under the flow of the five-colored energy waves, and were even stronger than before.
The roots of the five spirits have also merged into one, becoming a whole and indistinguishable from each other.
At this point, Ni Kun finally crossed the extremely difficult initial threshold and successfully cultivated the Five Elements Bloodline.
From now on, his five elements power are no longer clearly divided and unintegrated, but you are in me and I am in you, mutually reinforcing and restraining, in an endless cycle.
Since the five elements have become one, Ni Kun's five elements abilities have naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.
The five elements' supernatural powers are no longer subject to any restrictions, and they no longer restrain each other, but can coexist perfectly.
Ni Kun pressed his hand on the floor, and a young branch sprouted and grew, unfolding its leaves. There were fire leaves condensed from flames, iron leaves shining with metallic luster, as well as water leaves and earth leaves.
With a thought, the wooden branches turned into iron branches, and the leaves grew into a patch of tender green leaves.
Ni Kun smiled slightly. This was just a little trick. What he valued was never the five elements' supernatural powers.
Even after he achieved the Five Elements Bloodline, the Five Thunders Transformation Hand, Five Thunders Searching God Hand, and Thunder Tribulation Prison-Suppressing Blade, whose power was greatly enhanced, could only be regarded as magical powers for protection, and were not his true pursuit.
What he really pursued was the Great Dao of the Five Elements, the five-colored divine light, and matter and antimatter.
Now, he has only initially cultivated the five elements bloodline, which can only be said to be mastering the "art", and is still a long way from touching the "Great Way". The long march of thousands of miles has just begun.
With the accomplishment of the Five Elements Bloodline, his physical fitness also improved greatly and he felt more than twice as strong as before .
Looking at his lifespan again, he only had a little over 5,000 years left.
"So even though I lost more than 9,000 days of my lifespan, after I achieved the Five Elements Bloodline and strengthened my physique, I gained a few thousand more days of lifespan. With one increase and one decrease, I actually only lost more than 5,000 days of my lifespan?"
That’s not all.
Ni Kun also felt that as his five elements bloodline continued to grow stronger and purer, his lifespan would continue to increase.
"In the future, if you focus on cultivating the five elements of blood, you will be able to prolong your life and achieve immortality. This can be considered as opening up a path to immortality for yourself!
"Unfortunately, the prerequisites for my Five Elements Path are a bit harsh. Even though I have gone through more than 900 deaths and rebirths and have compiled a complete and relatively safe path for cultivation, it is difficult for anyone to follow my path."
Ni Kun sighed, secretly praising himself for his supreme perseverance in surviving more than nine hundred deaths in a row. He took another look at the redemption list of the Reincarnation Watch and found that the "Five Elements Bloodline" had indeed been refreshed in the [Bloodline] option.
It’s just that the price is a bit expensive, requiring three yellow origin crystals and 48,000 reincarnation points.
"Ha, it's just the entry-level Five Elements bloodline, but the price is so expensive. It seems that my assumption is correct. The Five Elements bloodline really has a bright future!"
Ni Kun felt pleased with himself and decided to go out and have some fun to comfort himself.
He died too many times, and many times, the death process was not a quick and instant death, but a slow death over several seconds, ten seconds or even dozens of seconds.
That kind of pain is truly indescribable to outsiders.
If he had not practiced the Amitabha Sutra in the past, and his soul was not tough enough and his spirit was strong enough, even if he had rich experience of dying a thousand times in a row, he would probably have become a mentally abnormal - those thousand times he died at the beginning, were all killed instantly, and the pain was only a moment.
This time I finally experienced for the first time what it feels like to die slowly.
I need to eat something soft, tender, delicious, sweet and chewy to comfort my deeply wounded heart...
Ni Kun sighed and walked out of the secret room.
