Chapter 358 The Little Medicine Boy Appears
Time passed by minute by minute, and after an unknown amount of time, the temperature in the cave gradually dropped.
The cave at this time could no longer be called a cave, as it had long been melted by the power of the Heavenly Fire.
There was a huge hole above, through which one could directly see the dark clouds and thunder in the sky.
"Is it finally going to succeed?"
Long Xuan, who was watching from a distance, murmured softly, and his tightly clenched fists finally relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was not until now that his tense mood relaxed, as the danger of swallowing the Heavenly Fire was a little beyond his expectations.
The situation just now was simply dangerous. Even if the power of the Heavenly Fire was a little stronger, his five clones would have been burned to ashes, and he would have lost five clones at once.
Fortunately, he was lucky, and the danger was finally supported by the clones, and the Heavenly Fire finally began to be refined by the five clones bit by bit.
The temperature in the cave had disappeared, and it seemed that the Heavenly Fire had been successfully refined.
Seeing that the five clones had opened their tired eyes at the same time, Long Xuan took a deep breath and spread his right hand. Suddenly, a ball of red flame rose in his palm, and the red light released by the flame was reflected on his excited little face.
The clone will return all the results of cultivation to the original body. If the clone successfully swallows the sky fire, it means that his original body has successfully swallowed the sky fire and can use the power of the sky fire at any time.
All dangers are borne by the clone, and his original body only needs to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. This kind of practice is simply a rogue.
"Is this the power of the sky fire? It's terrifying."
"There are only thirty-six kinds of sky fire in the world, and it is extremely difficult to find. Swallowing the sky fire is the lifelong dream of all alchemists. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to get this treasure."
The rising flame in Long Xuan's hand dissipated, and the smile on his face began to grow.
"Are you all okay!"
Long Xuan finally walked into the cave and asked with concern.
He used his soul power to check the body of Yan's clone and found that his whole body was charred and covered with burns. His body was full of holes and there was no intact place.
For ordinary people, this kind of injury would have killed them long ago. It was definitely a miracle that he was still alive in the eyes of others.
"It's okay!" Yan's clone said weakly: "This kind of injury would be fatal for others, but the water bear Gu has already completed its transformation. With the immortal power of the third level of the water bear Gu, it won't take long for me to recover to my peak state."
Hearing this, Long Xuan finally felt relieved.
He was also glad that the water bear Gu had the opportunity to transform when he went to Emperor Yan City, otherwise the result of swallowing the sky fire this time would be hard to say.
The third level of "Purgatory True Demon Art" is the sky fire body refining. Now that he has the sky fire, he can finally practice the third level of the body refining technique.
Just as he was thinking this, Yan's clone got up from the cold jade bed and sat on the ground on the other side. Red flames immediately rose on his body surface, burning every inch of his body, turning him into a fire man covered in fire.
Yan's clone was trying to use the Heavenly Fire to refine his body, ready to see the effect of using the Heavenly Fire to refine his body.
Even though Long Xuan didn't move at this time, he felt that his physical strength was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The effect of using the power of Heavenly Fire to refine his body was really terrifying.
Long Xuan showed excitement, clenched his fists hard, felt his own strength, and sighed again in his heart. This kind of practice is simply cheating. Which pervert created it?
The other clones also sat cross-legged on the ground at this time, their bodies covered with red flames, and began to try to use Heavenly Fire to refine their bodies.
Long Xuan immediately felt that his physical strength increased faster, five times faster than before. The speed of cultivation was like riding a rocket, which made him grin.
Without destruction, there is no construction. He found that although the bodies of the various clones were severely injured, they also touched the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea.
They are not far from breaking through the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea. Maybe they can break through the next time they open their eyes.
And their breakthrough is equivalent to his breakthrough. He can suddenly reach the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea without doing anything. It is simply cool.
And how long has it been since he broke through the Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivator? It has only been a few years. Compared with other Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivators, this cultivation speed is simply too fast. Perhaps the improvement of his qualifications has also played a certain role.
Long Xuan no longer disturbed the group of clones and slowly left the cave.
He took out the map and prepared to think about the next plan.
At present, the Evil Poison Gu and Dragon Gu have successfully transformed. At this time, there are not many Gu insects that have not yet transformed.
After thinking for a while, he prepared to upgrade the knife Gu next.
On the map, he is currently in the location of the Land of Sin, and the west of the Land of Sin is the Huiyue Empire, the south is the Longteng Empire, and the north is the Yanting Empire.
The Land of Sin is located at the junction of the three empires, and is a no-man's land.
To the north of the Yanting Empire is the Tianfeng Empire, which is very large and borders many empires. In the southeast, it also borders the Longteng Empire, which has always been a sworn enemy.
The venue of the alchemy competition that shocked the entire Western Region is in the imperial city of the Tianfeng Empire, which is a place he must go.
And he was in the place called Thunder Swamp, the Land of Sin, and was heading straight to the Imperial City of the Tianfeng Empire, bound to cross the entire Yanting Empire.
When mentioning the Yanting Empire, Long Xuan thought of a powerful sect called Xijian Pavilion in the Yanting Empire.
Other professional practitioners are not absent in the Gu world, but their number is extremely rare, and Xijian Pavilion is a powerful sect full of sword cultivators.
In the Yanting Empire, many people who are not talented in cultivating Gu will go to Xijian Pavilion to cultivate swords.
The sword path is very poor in other places, but in the Yanting Empire, it can be called one of the holy places of sword path in the Gu world.
Xijian Pavilion is definitely an extremely powerful sect in the Yanting Empire, and it is enough to rank in the top five among all the sects in the entire empire.
Presumably, in such a large sword cultivation sect, there must be someone who can comprehend the sword meaning, so Long Xuan now has the idea of upgrading the sword Gu in Xijian Pavilion.
Anyway, he was going to Tianfeng Empire to participate in the alchemy competition, and he had to cross Yanting Empire. Since he passed by this Xijian Pavilion, he might as well upgrade the knife poison here.
He decided that after the five clones recovered from their injuries and broke through the middle stage of the spiritual sea, he would immediately set off towards Xijian Pavilion.
...
Yanting Empire, on a barren mountain.
It was already late at night...
The little medicine boy dragged his tired body here, with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, obviously he had not rested for a long time.
"That mysterious voice is here."
The little medicine boy looked at the abandoned temple in front of him and frowned deeply.
As the saying goes, it is better to stay overnight in a cemetery than in a temple.
Never think that the Buddhist holy place is avoided by ghosts and evil spirits.
On the contrary, once you encounter a long-abandoned temple in the wilderness, it is a very dangerous place.
Those who stay overnight in abandoned temples often encounter great dangers.
This temple was built in such a remote place, with no shops in front and no villages behind. No strangers would come here. The appearance of a temple here is itself a very abnormal thing.
Maybe there is a demon imprisoned under this temple, or a very scary ghost is hidden. In short, nothing good can happen here.
It was late at night, and the wind was very strong. The whistling of the wind came to my ears. Under the strong wind, the temple came with harsh and strange sounds, which invisibly rendered a terrifying atmosphere.
Seeing that the sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the moonlight, it seemed that a downpour would come at any time, so he decided to hide in this temple to avoid the rain.
He knew that this temple might have unknown dangers, but he was eager to know what the sound that kept coming into his ears was.
Since he came to the West, he has been hearing the sound of someone talking in his ears, and the sound was intermittent, so he couldn't hear what it was.
But the voice seemed to be calling him to go somewhere.
This kind of noise also made him unable to sleep well. He felt that if he didn't solve these noises, he would go crazy sooner or later.
Therefore, he insisted on coming here regardless of Li Laodao's persuasion.
Now he vaguely realized that the sound came from this temple. Even though he knew that this temple was hiding a huge danger, he decided to go in and find out.
At worst, it was better to die than to be tortured to death by the sound that kept ringing.
The little medicine boy gritted his teeth and finally mustered up the courage to walk into the temple.
Pushing open the door, the temple was very dark, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. He took out the wall lamp dug from the extreme west cave from the storage bag, and walked carefully into the depths of the temple with the weak light.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, as soon as he walked into the door, heavy rain poured down, and the wind closed the door behind him, as if to trap him in this place, forcing him to stay here overnight.
The little medicine boy took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked around the temple. He found that it had been abandoned for a long time. The ground and the table for burning incense were full of dust, and the corners and beams were covered with spider webs.
There has been no trace of human activity here for a long time, and the air is full of a musty smell.
He frowned deeply. For some reason, the voice in his ear clearly came from here, and the voice has been luring him into this temple.
However, when he really came here, the voice disappeared strangely.
"Who are you? What do you want me to do here?"
"Speak?"
The little medicine boy shouted bravely, but no one responded for a long time, and the voice that annoyed him never appeared.
"If you don't speak again, I'll leave!"
The little medicine boy shouted again, and seeing that no one responded, he pretended to walk outside.
However, when he just opened the door, the wind rushed into the house, and even the rain swept in with the wind. A lightning bolt fell at this time, reflecting his face white.
The little medicine boy hurriedly closed the door.
"Forget it, let's stay here for one night before leaving."
The little medicine boy seemed to be talking to himself.
In fact, he didn't really mean to leave. He knew very well that as soon as he left, the noise that kept him awake would definitely sound again.
He traveled through mountains and rivers, and it took him countless years to get here. How could he be content without completely solving this sound?
After closing the door, he began to clean up the dust here. He once again showed his previous style. A thief never leaves empty-handed. He took whatever he could find, even if it was broken, and put it all into the storage bag.
So the incense burner, wooden fish, big Buddha statue, murals on the wall, including the shabby table and cushion in this temple were all cleaned up and put into the storage bag.
After he had searched all the visible things in the entire temple, he did not stop, and began to dig three feet into the ground, trying to find treasures hidden deeper.
He knocked left and right on the wall and the ground, as if he was looking for a secret room or secret compartment here.
Finally, his hard work paid off. He knocked on the ground somewhere and made a hollow sound. His eyes lit up immediately and he showed joy.
He could not wait to take out a small hammer from the storage bag. After breaking the floor tile, he quickly took out a golden Buddha statue from it.
The golden Buddha statue was lifelike, as if it was alive, and it exuded a golden glow all over its body, which was dazzling and dazzling. It was not an ordinary thing at first glance.
The little medicine boy was overjoyed. Although he could not figure out the function of this thing after studying it for a long time, he still put the golden Buddha statue away and prepared to study it later.
After the harvest, the little medicine boy checked the floor tiles more carefully. Not long after, he knocked out a hollow sound again.
His eyes lit up and he took out the small hammer again. Not long after, he took out the same Buddha statue again.
Time passed by minute by minute. He was busy for a long time. After searching every corner of the temple, he finally found sixteen golden Buddha statues again.
At this time, he had a total of eighteen golden Buddha statues in his hand. These eighteen Buddha statues seemed to be a set. The location of each golden Buddha statue was extremely hidden, and he didn't miss any of them.
After digging out the eighteen golden Buddha statues, the little medicine boy was a little out of breath and sat on the ground, ready to take a rest.
He smiled slightly. Just as he was about to take out the eighteen Buddha statues and study their functions, the voice that had been disturbing him sounded again.
"It's you! I knew you would definitely touch the Buddha statues here. Even if these Buddha statues are hidden in the dark, you will definitely find them by digging three feet into the ground."
When this voice sounded, the little medicine boy was startled and hurriedly stood up, shouting in panic: "Who? Who is talking?"
At this time, his heart sank. This person seemed to know him very well, and could even predict his behavior, knowing that he would definitely touch the Buddha statues here.
Wait, he just deliberately didn't speak, could it be that he wanted me to touch the Buddha statues here?
Could it be that the eighteen golden Buddha statues buried deep in the ground cannot be moved? He had a bad premonition in his heart.
"You didn't speak just now, just to let me touch the Buddha statues here?" The little medicine boy's expression changed, and he asked hurriedly.
The mysterious voice sounded again: "That's right! I know your character very well, because I am you, you are me, how can I not know myself?"
"You are my best side. Only the best people can touch the 18 golden Buddhas that seal me. Only those who have no evil thoughts can be called the best people. There are very few people in this world who can touch the 18 golden Buddhas."
"If I ask you to dig out the 18 golden Buddhas, I know you, you will definitely not do what I say, but will find a way to strengthen the seal."
"If I don't say anything, you will definitely take away all the treasures here. Even if the 18 golden Buddhas are hidden deep, you will definitely find them!"
Hearing this, the little medicine boy's heart sank immediately. He understood that he might have accidentally released a very terrible existence.
Any sealed thing must be a very terrible existence, and it must have caused harm to one side, otherwise it would not be sealed. Once this demon is released, it is very likely to cause harm to the world.
His face was slightly pale. This temple really sealed a demon. If he accidentally released this demon, the consequences would be unimaginable. (End of this chapter)
