With the completion of the [Suzaku Daoyin Technique], Chen Jue felt as if his body's hematopoietic function had increased dozens of times.
In particular, the bone marrow responsible for hematopoiesis in the body, after incorporating part of the energy transmitted from Suzaku, is like a raging fire boiling oil, continuously accelerating the production of large numbers of blood cells.
Originally, the fusion of Gang Qi would consume a large amount of blood and spiritual energy.
Now of these two major shortcomings, one relies on the spiritual crystals in Bai Ze's lair to provide energy, and combined with Bai Ze's guidance technique, the practice is constantly supplemented. The other is filled in by the energy transmitted from Suzaku that promotes the transformation of bone marrow.
Coupled with the accumulated true energy crystals in his body, Chen Jue felt as if his body had turned into a furnace, pouring in the three energies of blood, energy, and spirit to continuously produce this martial arts energy.
Until many acupuncture points in the body, including the Dantian Qi point, are filled, this huge martial arts energy begins to penetrate into the meridians and cells.
Chen Jue's body began to emit incredible heat energy outwards, as if he had transformed into a small scorching sun, standing in this lair.
As for the blood rushing in his body, just like the mutation Suzaku encountered, it also began to become partially semi-energy and semi-material.
Of course, this trend towards energy is mainly the plasma in the blood. This part was originally composed of water and non-protein organic matter and was used to supply energy. Now it is replaced by the influx of Gang Qi.
The originally highly differentiated blood cells in the blood, such as platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells, have undergone varying degrees of transformation and have begun to return to a higher-level stem cell form.
Under Chen Jue's [internal vision] observation, these originally highly differentiated blood cells were dividing themselves and accelerating their proliferation.
"This is how Suzaku's hematopoietic function is enhanced!"
"The blood cells have also been reset to the hematopoietic stem cell state? Can they divide infinitely?" Seeing the transformation at the cellular level, Chen Deji was shocked and once again recalled the scene when he practiced [Baize Daoyin Technique].
The same was true for his brain tissue at the time, with some brain cells reverting back to neural stem cells. But this time, the mutation in the blood was more than he expected compared to the mutation in the brain.
Because he could feel that his blood was infected by the nuclear radiation energy contained in Suzaku. Every produced blood cell was no longer as vibrant as before, but instead was tainted with a trace of destruction. breath.
This feeling is extremely contradictory!
Just like the sun, the star is obviously the product of thermonuclear fusion. The entire star exudes high temperatures that can destroy all living things, but the sunlight it radiates can nourish many living things on the earth.
....
This long transformation took three full natural days.
Yun Xiaomei on the side was always on tenterhooks, because in Yun Xiaomei's perception, Chen Jue's body was like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
The astonishing heat emanating from his body continued to scorch the air around him.
If Bai Ze and Zhu Que hadn't kindly reminded Chen Jue that Chen Jue was fine, I'm afraid Yun Xiaomei would have been unable to resist interrupting Chen Jue's unknown physical changes.
When Chen Jue opened his eyes and quit practicing, the burning sensation on his body gradually faded and settled into his body.
"Brother Chen Jue, are you okay?" Yun Xiaomei asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that it absorbed too much energy and the body is slowly adapting." Chen Jue smiled at her, but there was an imperceptible trace of worry deep in his eyes.
Because just when he stopped practicing, he subconsciously glanced at the attribute panel.
Although the physical attribute was increased by [Suzaku Guidance Technique] to 12.62, a new negative state [Radiation Distortion] appeared after his lifespan.
The lifespan attribute dropped directly to a value of 351, which directly shortened the lifespan by more than 100 years!
[Radiation Distortion]: After being exposed to high-concentration radiation doses for a long time, your body is undergoing abnormal changes.
Predictable variation.
Status level: Level 9
Status effect: Affected by this status, the human body's organs, tissues, cells, DNA, and genes will experience uncontrollable symptoms such as destruction, reorganization, collapse, and regeneration.
Looking at this negative effect, Chen Jue's heart moved: "Sure enough, what I guessed before is correct. The disease in Suzaku's body is caused by long-term exposure to large doses of radiation."
"The reason why it can suppress this kind of distortion is that it relies on the continuous replenishment of hematopoietic function and the interference of the mind and will into the body, giving the body in the form of energy an extra layer of contours and boundaries, so that it can become stable."
"Once this boundary is lost, overflow will occur...not only the body's energy will overflow, but also tissue cells, etc."
At this moment, Chen Jue finally understood what it means to go too far, and this is the price paid on the road to spiritual practice, and it is also the so-called going astray.
Just like the founder of Jeet Kune Do, who used electric shocks to stimulate his muscles, he eventually suffered from heart failure and died young.
Whether it is Kui Niu Daoyin Technique, Baize Daoyin Technique, or Suzaku Daoyin Technique, they are all cultivation techniques for strange beasts with special body structures.
Once humans try to imitate cultivation, although their physical fitness will be rapidly enhanced in the initial stage, the final result will be an imbalance between the physical body and the mind, coupled with the ingestion of negative energy such as nuclear radiation, which will cause physical distortion.
"It's troublesome!"
"It seems that this kind of radiation is not easy to eliminate..." Chen sighed secretly with determination.
Fortunately, this time at the cost of more than a hundred years of life, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds.
The amount of martial arts energy accumulated in the body has increased by more than ten times compared to before the transformation! This is a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change!
Gang Qi energy begins to form a semi-solid form in the body from the state of gas flame, and the storage efficiency is greatly improved.
In addition to the improvement of hematopoietic function and spiritual energy, the efficiency of converting Gang Qi when the body is running [Pure Yang Gong] has also greatly increased.
Chen Jue felt that with his current fighting ability, it would be particularly easy for him to face Bai Ze who was out of control before.
....
After exiting the state of cultivation, Chen Jue glanced at the two sleeping beasts.
Bai Ze is currently using the spiritual crystals in the lair to repair its broken pair of horns.
According to Yun Xiaomei's description, Bai Ze has been constantly communicating with Suzaku in the past few days and has found a preliminary solution to the mental loss.
Suzaku also swallowed a large amount of spiritual crystals, completely consolidating his half-material, half-energy body, and fell into a deep sleep.
Of course, Yun Xiaomei has not been idle in the past few days. She has been observing the true forms of the strange beasts on the Baize Diagram and constantly perfecting her own way of the beasts.
Seeing that the aura emanating from Xiaomei Yun's body was much stronger than before, Chen Jue felt relieved: "Little sister, I plan to return to Earth."
"Is it because there was something wrong with the previous practice?" Yun Xiaomei's eyes showed concern.
"Something went wrong! Little sister, do you still remember the practice levels I mentioned before?" Chen Jue asked instead.
Yun Xiaomei nodded and responded: "Remember, it is from the tenth level of physical training to the extraordinary level, and then to the void level where the physical body travels across space."
"These three levels are all my preliminary ideas when I first left the earth. There is nothing wrong with the direction of practice, but some details need to be improved."
"Currently, there are two extraordinary routes, one is physically extraordinary, and the other is spiritual. Both paths can reach the level of manifesting the saint. However, there are still some doubts that need to be resolved in the transition from manifesting the saint to stepping into the void." Chen Jue explained truthfully. , and by the way, he stretched out a finger and bit it, squeezing out a drop of red-gold blood from it.
After squeezing out the wound on the finger, the blood took on a jelly-like shape. The blood exuded red-gold energy, and was wrapped in a single outline.
Yun Xiaomei is also very smart. When she saw Chen Jue's blood turned into this kind of thing that was somewhere between energy and matter.
With his special appearance, he quickly recalled Chen Jue's previous inquiry to Suzaku, blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Chen Jue, are you like Suzaku, you have reached the half-step void level?"
"This kind of energy-based form of the physical body has a great impact on lifespan. I am still not sure whether it is a true half-step void level. It may also be that my practice method is wrong and I have gone astray."
"There is a mention in Taoist classics about refining the void and combining it with the Tao. I have to go back and study it carefully before I can fill in the blank space between the sage level and the void level." Chen Jue explained.
Yun Xiaomei was also thoughtful when she heard this, and finally smiled sweetly at Chen Jue: "Brother Chen Jue, don't worry about going back! You have been away from the earth for so long, you must be homesick."
"Brother Sun Wu and Sister Luo Qiong are there at the stronghold, and there are so many people there, so there will definitely be no problem. I have Baize, Suzaku, and Xiaoyao accompanying me here, and I have to continue to look at this Baize picture. With the help of these Crystallize my soul to perfect my true meaning of martial arts."
"I have to work hard. I can't always leave the problems to you, Brother Chen Jue. This will hold you back!" Yun Xiaomei said with a cheering gesture.
Seeing what she said, Chen Jue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Everyone adds fuel to the flames, but my own strength alone is definitely limited. Little sister, you are already at the forefront of human evolution. Only by confirming each other's practice and constantly improving our theories can we take this path further."
"By the way, where did the little parrot go?" Chen Jue turned his head and looked around the nest that was emitting seven colors of light, but saw no sign of this little guy.
"The parrot went to get water and food, and the food in the backpack has been eaten. In the past few days, it has been hunting." Yun Xiaomei explained.
"Hey!" Just as he was saying this, he saw a little parrot flapping its wings and flying in at a low altitude from outside the nest.
After not seeing each other for a few days, this guy has grown in size again. Each of its two huge bird claws is holding a bundle of dry firewood and strange animals. The bird's beak is holding the special water cup. It looks like a dusty bird. appearance.
"It seems that this little guy has been tamed well by you, and he knows how to get supplies." Chen Jue couldn't help but praise him when he saw it returning home with a full load.
"It's not taming! It's teaching! The parrot is actually very smart, just like the children in the village." Little Sister Yun hugged the parrot lovingly and whispered in its ear.
"Ta da!" Probably knowing that Chen Jue was leaving, the little parrot put down the supplies, spread its wings and wrapped Chen Jue in its arms with a look of reluctance, and kept rubbing against him as if it was coquettish.
"Little guy, remember to listen to your sweet words after I leave." Chen Jue patted its thick body and touched its feathers.
"嘤嘤~" The little parrot tipped its head against Chen Jue. This little guy has been staying with Chen Jue since he was born. Now that he knows that they have to be separated temporarily, he is also reluctant to let go.
As the masters of this planet, alien beasts also have their own emotions and desires, just like the reasonable fairies in myths and legends.
They are intelligent life forms that are different from the animals on earth, and are no less emotional than humans in some aspects.
When Xiaomei Yun saw this warm scene, her heart moved slightly. She picked up the sun roulette from the side and handed it to Chen Jue: "Brother Chen Jue, Bai Ze confessed before he fell asleep that he would give this thing to you."
"It said you helped it get out of chaos. Before I could repay you, I took this sun wheel as a thank you gift."
Chen Jue took the sun roulette and felt that it was much heavier than before, and the red-gold halo on it seemed to be charged.
Although he doesn't understand the purpose of this thing for the time being, Chen Jue still plans to take it back to study it first: "When Bai Ze wakes up, thank it for me."
After saying that, Chen Jue tied the roulette wheel to his body, unfolded the folded alloy wings and planned to fly away from the nest, but was grabbed by Yun Xiaomei.
"Brother Chen Jue...wait..." Yun Xiaomei suddenly blushed, as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
Chen Jue felt it from the spiritual fluctuations emanating from her body.
Hearing a strange fluctuation, he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing...I just want you to come back soon! I'm afraid the little parrot misses you too much..." Yun Xiaomei blushed like an apple, her eyes wandered around and she didn't dare to look directly at Chen Jue. s eyes.
The whole face is like a ripe red apple, and the shyness between the brows makes her look like a little daughter-in-law who is sending her husband off to work.
"Okay! I'll be back as soon as possible!" Chen Jue nodded and agreed.
Just as he finished speaking and was about to turn around and leave, Chen Jue felt something approaching quickly, and it felt like something warm was pressed against his left cheek.
Looking back, Yun Xiaomei, who had just succeeded in the sneak attack, had already used her body skills to quickly shrink behind the parrot.
The little parrot flapped its wings and kept crowing happily: "Mom! Kiss! Da da!" At this moment, Chen Jue realized that the elf girl he met in the old forest of Gongshan was no longer He is as innocent and ignorant as before, but he has already reached the youthful age of 20 when love begins.
Touching the traces of warmth on his cheeks and feeling the girl's tender affection, Chen Jue didn't say anything. He just smiled and shouted to her: "Little sister Yun, wait for me to come back!" Then he spread his wings and flew out of the nest. Go, he felt that in this world, besides his grandfather, he finally had one more person who he cared about.
