Inside the calamity tower.
The eighth floor.
The futon emits a faint lotus-shaped halo, and Chen Ping sits on it like a Taoist sitting on a lotus to enlighten himself, with five 'iron chains' deeply embedded in his body.
The other end of the chain plunged into the dark void with no end in sight.
A large number of cyan demon attractants continuously flowed into his body along the five iron chains.
The cyan demon attractor is more powerful than the white and black demon attractors, but its attack power is also stronger. When Chen Ping was in Tianyan Sect, he had two kinds of demon attractors, black and white, and the pain was far less severe than it is now.
But the value of the cyan inner demon guide is also higher, and it can more effectively temper oneself.
But at this moment.
When he continued to guide the inner demon guide to temper the golden elixir, he unexpectedly found that the number of cyan inner demon guides was declining sharply.
What's going on?
Is Tianyin Fairy City so stingy?
Is it still in limited supply?
But then, a scene appeared that surprised him. Instead, countless golden inner demon attractors were seen, attacking along the iron chain from the dark void.
The five iron chains also turned golden under the devouring of the golden heart demon attractor.
Chen Ping was shocked?
Introduction to the golden inner demon?
Didn't it mean that there are only three colors of inner demon guides: black, white, and blue?
Why did a brand-new temptation to inner demons suddenly appear?
Mutated?
Before he had time to think about it, a large amount of golden inner demon attractant had been poured into the Dantian, biting the flame circle around the golden elixir. The channel of the flame circle was immediately crumbling.
Chen Ping quickly focused on practicing his skills and repairing the five qi channels.
The golden heart demon led through the passage and entered the surface of the golden elixir. At that moment, the huge pain almost made him faint.
It was not the pain caused by physical tearing.
It is the pain of the soul being oppressed.
Countless hallucinations attacked Chi Liang one after another. The demonic cultivator who disappeared in Qingyun Domain came again. The earth collapsed. The eternal demons suppressed by the human world reappeared. Xiyue died. Yu Lingchun died and Tianyin disappeared. The fairy city fell into the devil world
He tried his best to stay awake and not to forcefully activate the fuse protection mechanism.
At the same time, he also felt the benefits of the golden demon guide——
——The breadth and depth of the golden elixir transformation are dozens of times that of the cyan inner demon guide.
If we say that the 'golden elixir' in the Dantian is the fertilized egg of the soul that transforms into an infant.
So before the second catastrophe of the golden elixir, the golden elixir was to a greater extent an unconscious fertilized egg, in a sleeping state, and its main duty was still to serve the monk's body.
For example, feeding back the true energy makes it more beneficial for monks to use it.
For example, it improves the reserve of spiritual power in the Dantian.
For example, it complements the elixir fire to temper the monk's own body and natal magic weapon, etc.
After the catastrophe of the golden elixir, this 'fertilized egg' will begin to awaken its consciousness, no longer a "dead object", and will instead serve the monk's soul.
The soul will be continuously tempered and integrated into the golden elixir, laying a solid foundation for the final transformation of the soul into an infant in the later stages of the golden elixir.
In the transition from 'serving the body' to 'serving the soul', the structure of the golden elixir needs to change, otherwise it will reject the awakening of the soul's consciousness, causing the monks to fall into various illusions and even produce inner demons.
The more thorough and refined the transformation of this structure is, the more conducive it is to the future transformation of the soul into an infant, and the more conducive it is to the strength of the monk's soul.
It will further increase the upper limit of future practice.
And at this moment.
When the golden inner demon guide reaches the surface of the golden elixir in an orderly manner, those fierce attacks seem to be 'attacks', but in fact they are tempering and changing the golden elixir.
Chen Ping could sense that the accuracy of this process was much higher than the previous cyan inner demon guide.
The details that the cyan demon guide could not focus on before were found one by one by the golden demon guide, completely covering them.
If the golden elixir is compared to a building, then the demon guide is the architect, the cyan demon guide is the intern architect, and the golden demon guide is the top architect.
Chen Ping let go of himself and fully enjoyed the tempering of the inner demon guide.
The extreme pain coming from the soul turned into enjoyment at this moment.
Countless illusions are just passing clouds, unable to stir up troubles.
More than two months later, Chen Ping felt that he was no longer attractive to the demons in his heart.
Many inner demon attractors are lingering on the iron chain and are too lazy to wander this way.
Even though Chen Ping tried his best to absorb the inner demon attractors, only a small amount of the inner demon attractors continued to flow into his dantian.
He knew that the transformation of his golden elixir was nearing completion.
After more than ten days, Chen Ping calmed down.
The five iron chains were immediately withdrawn from his body, and quickly retracted into the dark void with a 'whoosh'.
The second Golden Elixir Tribulation was officially completed.
He looked at the golden elixir in his Dantian. Compared with before, there were countless more lines on the surface of the golden elixir, which were all over the surface of the golden elixir like a maze.
There is a touch of true energy flowing in the lines.
A white mist seemed to be locked inside the golden elixir.
These are sights that have never existed before.
Outside the Tribulation Tower.
A young man hurried over and saw the tower owner sitting in front of a stone wall, lost in thought. He hesitated for a moment and came forward to pay tribute, and then reported:
"Master, I just came back from outside the city. I just went to the top floor to check. The inner demon attractor has been excessively consumed. In the past few months, have genius monks come to rent the Calamity Tower?"
The tower master looked back at his disciple:
"It's the 6th floor. You, Senior Brother Mo, are the direct disciples of the elders of the Tianyin Sect, but I don't know which tendon is wrong, so you came here to borrow the Heart Demon Tower. Humph, you are the direct disciples of the Tianyin Sect, run. Come and compete for resources with casual cultivators. You go back to his master and ask him to replenish 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones, saying that his disciples have excessively consumed the demon attractors here."
The young man was stunned for a moment.
It stands to reason that the disciples of the elders of Tianyin Sect are all good monks.
There is a certain strength.
Coming here to experience calamity does run the risk of over-exhausting the inner demon guide.
But Senior Brother Mo knew something about it. The strength of his soul was pretty good, but it wasn't so powerful that it was abnormal.
But today's consumption is more like someone using the golden inner demon lure.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Mo's soul has been greatly improved? Is he so strong?" the young man said in admiration.
The tower master's face was not very good, and he sneered:
"Oh, how can you not be strong? I will take down the person who transformed into a god in the future."
Um?
The young man was stunned again.
"Master, what does this mean?" the young man asked.
The tower master's face became even more impatient:
"Go, go, go, don't bother me. Go and practice on your own."
The young man saw that his master had a bad look on his face. He had seen this look before. Every time the demon guide was consumed in large quantities, the master would have this look on his face. It was a look of heartache.
And this time his face was obviously the darkest.
He did not dare to show any disobedience and quickly resigned.
Inside the Tribulation Tower.
Chen Ping withdrew his consciousness, took out a token from his arms, and injected it with spiritual power. The dark void around him suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the first floor of the Calamity Tower again.
He looked up at the door and walked out.
Found the tower owner at the registration desk.
"May I ask the tower master, how long has this junior been in?" Chen Ping asked.
"Two months and 27 days, charged as three months. A total of 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones." The tower owner said expressionlessly.
Chen Ping took out 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones and gave a deposit of 20,000 before coming.
But he was a little surprised.
Why did the tower master have such a straight face? When he came here, although the tower master was not enthusiastic, he could still introduce the situation of the Tribulation Tower to him in a eloquent manner, which could be regarded as normal communication.
And now, from the look in the tower master's eyes, why do I always feel like he has a prejudice against me?
I went through tribulations in the Lijie Tower for three months. How did I offend him?
"What? Are you reluctant to give it? Do you think it's too expensive?" the tower owner said with a straight face.
Chen Ping smiled and handed over the spirit stone:
"Expensive is indeed expensive. But the price is clearly marked, no matter how young you are, you are in love with me, so why don't you say it?"
expensive?
The tower master's face suddenly turned darker.
Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to ask what was going on with the Golden Heart Demon Introduction, but seeing that the tower master's face was getting more and more ugly at this moment, he had the good sense not to touch this bad luck, and left after handing over.
These old monks just have weird tempers.
He is obviously a customer and a money-giving boy.
How to treat financial resources like this.
After leaving the Lijie Tower, slowly walk down the bluestone steps. You need to walk to a platform below before you can leave the city lord's palace in a flying boat.
He raised his eyes and looked around.
This seems to be an independent area of the City Lord's Mansion. Walking here, you can't see other parts of the City Lord clearly, let alone the whole picture.
You can only vaguely see some eaves and eaves with sharp corners exposed in the white mist.
He retracted his gaze and continued walking down. After turning around a rockery, he saw a towering blue rock in the white mist in the distance, and a woman in a white plain robe stood on top of the green rock.
The woman in white wears a white veil.
The upper edge of the veil passes through the lower edge of the eyes, covering the entire face, leaving only the eyes and the upper part exposed.
But even so, the eyes and forehead are very blurry and cannot be distinguished.
That white veil is obviously not a common thing.
The woman in white just stood there without showing any cultivation strength, but she already gave Chen Ping a sense of transcendent beauty.
This figure looks so familiar.
Chen Ping couldn't help but take a few more glances, and at this moment, the veiled woman was also looking at Chen Ping quietly.
Seeing the veiled woman looking at him but not speaking, Chen Ping had no choice but to look away and continue walking down.
It is very rude to keep staring at a fairy like this.
As he walked down, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance a few more times, and found that the veiled woman was always staring at him.
After thinking for a while, he stopped:
"Fairy, have we met somewhere?"
But after I said it, I felt a little regretful. It looked like a line meant to strike up a conversation, and it was very cliché.
"You don't know who I am?" The veiled woman seemed slightly startled.
Chen Ping smiled and said:
"It just feels familiar."
Why do you ask, are you famous? Do I have to know who you are?
Or have they really met before? And the veiled woman remembers me?
He was somewhat embarrassed. He met an acquaintance on the road but couldn't name him, but he remembered you. This was one of the most social moments for human beings.
He tried his best to search his memory and recalled a scene inadvertently.
Busy asked:
"Does the fairy know about the Rising Sun Realm Wall?"
When the task of uncovering Gong Zhiyuan's master and apprentice was carried out at the Rising Sun Realm Wall, among the Nascent Soul helpers called by Xiyue, there was a woman dressed in white with a white veil.
It's just that this woman didn't speak much at first, and she was also the one standing farthest away.
Therefore, Chen Ping didn't know much about this woman and had never spoken a word to her.
At this moment, when they were connected in series, I realized that the veiled woman on the wall of the Rising Sun Realm really looked like the woman in front of me.
Same clothes.
Same as the veil.
Same body shape.
Even the temperament is the same.
No wonder it feels so familiar subconsciously.
"Didn't your master Xiyue introduce me to you in the rising sun world wall?" The veiled woman's face was hidden under the veil, and no expression could be seen.
But as soon as these words came out, Chen Ping immediately knew that this person was the woman from back then.
What a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance here.
There was both surprise and surprise in my heart.
The surprise of meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
"No, my master doesn't like to talk about other people's affairs." Chen Ping said.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Not only did Xiyue not introduce this woman to him, Xiyue also did not introduce any of the Nascent Soul monks who surrounded Gong Zhiyuan's master and disciple.
If the identities of Wei Changmiao and Brother Shi had not been mentioned in the conversation between Master Gong Zhiyuan and Wei Changmiao, Chen Ping would not even know who Wei Changmiao was.
But these are not important.
Anyone who can be trusted by Master Xiyue should be more or less trustworthy.
Chen Ping said happily:
"Senior is also from Xizhou, right? When did senior come to Tianyin Fairy City? What's the situation on the Piaomiao Continent now?"
He had seen the veiled woman take action to subdue Master Gong Zhiyuan. Her strength was no weaker than Master Xiyue, and she was at least a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Then naturally I have to call myself 'senior'.
"I don't know about the situation on the Piaomiao Continent." The veiled woman's voice was cold.
Chen Ping nodded, feeling a little disappointed that he had not heard about the Piaomiao Continent.
He could feel that the veiled woman spoke very little and seemed to have little interest in talking.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn’t bother him anymore and said goodbye:
"This junior is here to experience the tribulation. Now that the tribulation is over, I won't disturb the senior if I don't want to stay here any longer."
Seeing that the veiled woman still didn't speak, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
After walking a certain distance, the voice of the veiled woman came from behind:
"Where do you live?"
Chen Ping thought for a while and realized that it would not be difficult for the other late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to find his residence with her own strength.
Moreover, this person is someone Xiyue trusts and should be trustworthy.
So he took out a piece of talisman skin, wrote down his address, sent it over with his spiritual power, and said politely:
"Senior, please come to my house as a guest when you have time. You and I should be considered the rare compatriots from Miao Miao Continent in Tianyin Fairy City."
The veiled woman took the talisman and nodded.
Chen Ping said no more, turned around and walked down the mountain.
After boarding the flying boat at the platform, he quickly left the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Mansion.
After Chen Ping returned to the house, he closed the door and meditated to experience the difference brought about by the golden elixir disaster.
After finishing the calamity in the calamity tower just now, I came out immediately without staying much longer. I didn't even have time to seriously experience the feeling after the golden elixir was transformed.
Now that the technique was running, he discovered that it was not just the golden elixir that had changed.
The environment in Dantian has also changed.
The flames from those five bundles of pill fire became even deeper.
For example, the flames of the 'water system' were normally light blue before the tribulation, but now they are as blue as the deep sea.
The original 'fire element' flame was only slightly yellow, but now it is red.
Above the elixir fire and under the golden elixir, the original 'furnace cauldron' sprouted four furnace corners, emitting a faint mist.
The mist rises into the sky and gathers at the golden elixir.
All the elements constitute the best environment for the nourishment of the soul.
Once the technique was in operation, he could even feel the warmth and comfort coming from his soul.
'It seems that the 30,000 high-grade spirit stone flowers that have been through the calamity are quite worth it. I saw in the book that if you buy the elixir and go through the calamity yourself, whether it is the color of the elixir or the quality of the golden elixir, it will be far worse. It is far from the quality it is now. '
'Keep practicing! '
'Strive for the early stage of the golden elixir. '
What Chen Ping didn't expect was that despite just a polite invitation yesterday, the veiled woman appeared outside his Chen residence the next day.
As Chen Ping entered the inner courtyard, the veiled woman looked around.
"Did you arrange this formation yourself?" she asked lightly.
"Well, my master is the formation master. I have practiced formation layout with her for a long time. Senior, please come in." Chen Ping introduced the veiled woman into the inner courtyard.
He didn't know which formation she was asking about. There were many formations in this yard. However, some formations had been hidden by Chen Ping before she came in.
Although this woman is someone whom Master trusts, she is the only one who is completely defenseless in this world of immortality.
He wasn't even completely honest with Xiyue, let alone the woman in front of him who only had a two-sided relationship.
Seeing that Chen Ping had no intention of introducing her into the living room, the veiled woman didn't say anything. She just followed Chen Ping and sat down in the pavilion in the inner courtyard, looking at the ordinary inner courtyard.
"You still don't know the name of your senior? Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Chen Ping said with a smile.
The veiled woman looked back:
"Call me 'Dongshi Fairy'."
Fairy Dongshi?
This honorific is quite strange.
"Your master is so kind to you." The veiled woman looked at the traces of spiritual energy on her skin and said suddenly.
Chen Ping didn't know why she suddenly said this?
He glanced at her inexplicably:
"Are Senior Dongshi familiar with my master?"
"Not very familiar, just a few acquaintances." The veiled woman said coldly.
Chen Ping looked at her. He could even smell her faint fragrance from a table away, but he couldn't see her face clearly. He couldn't help but say:
"Why does Senior Dongshi have to wear a veil? Does this veil have special value?"
The veiled woman turned to look at Chen Ping. This was actually an impolite question, but she was not angry and just said:
"During the early stage of Nascent Soul, I went crazy while practicing martial arts, and my face suffered irreversible backlash. Now my face is disgusting, and I had to do this as a last resort."
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment.
At the level of Nascent Soul cultivator, it is very easy to repair the scars on one's own body.
In this way, the veiled woman is either lying, or the backlash she has received is not just as simple as her face, but is so severe that it cannot be repaired or even disguised by common methods.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the gentle voice of the veiled woman:
"Do you want to see it?"
Chen Ping was stunned again.
He smiled and said:
"The junior has no intention to offend the senior, nor does he have the intention to pry into the senior's true face. However, the junior feels that monks like us don't need to care too much about our appearance. There is a saying in the junior's hometown that 'all good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are only one in a thousand.' , what I mean is that the beauty of the state of mind is the real beauty.”
Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are all the same?
The veiled woman repeated this sentence in her heart.
He retracted his gaze from Chen Ping and looked at the tulips filling the yard.
"Senior Dongshi is a monk from which sect in Xizhou? With the strength of the senior, he should be the leader, right?" Chen Ping saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold and broke the silence.
The veiled woman didn't answer.
Chen Ping ignored her.
After a while, the interviewing woman stood up and left, saying:
"I live in the City Lord's Mansion. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to me."
After a pause, he said:
"If you have nothing to do, you can come and catch up with me."
Chen Ping took the paper she handed over, put it in his storage bag, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll send senior out."
"."
