Inside the underground palace, with a rumbling sound, a mixture of meat and soup was quickly gulped down.
Chu Weiyang let out a long breath, lazily stretching his body.
Walking out of the Demon-Sealing Cave, for the first time, Chu Weiyang truly felt a sense of satiation.
And this was not just a simple accumulation of ordinary meat and spiritual herbs.
This was the mysterious harmony of monarch and ministers in the Dao of Pills, complemented by the ancient witchcraft secret methods to create a medicinal soup, a finished pill with a unique appearance.
The vigorous blood of wild beasts and the potent medicinal power of spiritual herbs resonated uniquely in the soup.
With widened eyes, Chu Weiyang felt as if he had swallowed fire, swallowed charcoal!
Unprecedentedly, a scorching heat flowed from the stomach, almost impatiently diving into the heart fire, circulating through the five viscera and six bowels, refining the five elements, and finally hovering in the middle meridian, descending to the sea of qi in the lower abdomen.
At this moment, the birth of primordial qi and magical power was almost more intense than each breath, escalating as time passed.
Towards the end, it almost seemed like pieces of light rain were sprinkling down, causing the sea of qi to steam!
However, the feeling of satiation that could completely relax a person did not last long.
Soon, the scorching heat in the stomach was swept away.
Suddenly, like falling into an ice cellar, with the rising chill, hunger once again emerged, gradually pulling Chu Weiyang out of that relaxed state.
It was like being doused with ice-cold water over the head, the rapid changes almost leaving Chu Weiyang breathless, feeling somewhat intangible embarrassment.
But as soon as this feeling emerged, Chu Weiyang smoothed it all away.
He even felt a heartfelt sense of contentment.
In front of him was just a broken stone pot, half a piece of ordinary wild buffalo meat, a bundle of common herbs from the forest...
Even the method of preparation was relatively simple, just using some basic means of monarch and ministers.
To be precise, even the "Essence of Monarch and Ministers in the Myriad Spirit Origin" was still in its initial stage, yet to be thoroughly studied!
If in the future, he could slay demonic beasts, use their blood as the main ingredient, then ascend the snowy mountains in the morning and explore the river mouth in the evening, seeking precious medicinal herbs, and then using a treasure cauldron engraved with cloud patterns and thunder seals for roasting with alchemical fire!
By then, perhaps satiation would truly no longer be a problem.
Perhaps, this lingering pain could one day see the hope of liberation?
At the thought of this, Chu Weiyang grinned silently.
This relaxed feeling gradually transmitted to his mind, and in a daze, it seemed like a few brief words emerged—
A real man does not eat five cauldrons of food, but is cooked in five cauldrons upon death!
And after more than ten breaths, when Chu Weiyang had calmed down completely, the white jade poisonous snake twisted out of his sleeve,
Its breath no longer changing significantly as before, the gradually thickening blood and energy stabilized on the white jade poisonous snake after a brief slumber.
A buzzing sound rang out, Chu Weiyang teased the jade snake with his finger, then sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the snake in front of him, forming a small master seal with one hand, pointing inward, reversed at the heart.
This was the cultivation method of the "Great Sun Pure Yang Fishing for Toad Technique."
Chu Weiyang did not dare to directly mix the poisonous miasma with the medicine paste in the porcelain bottle.
His realm was too low, even with the constraints of the technique, Chu Weiyang was afraid that one misstep with such a poison would cost him his life.
Who knew how potent the toxicity was after so many years of brewing in that lump of medicine paste.
It was only natural for a naturally poisonous creature like the jade snake to be able to refine the medicine paste with just a short slumber.
On the other hand, Chu Weiyang himself, perhaps seemingly far from the realm of the jade snake, was more suitable to assist him in cultivating this technique.
The seal at his heart was lifted by Chu Weiyang.
At the fingertip, a faint flame flickered and disappeared, returning to emptiness, only distorting the light and shadow between his fingers, the light of the bonfire shining through, appearing more chaotic and intertwined.
Hovering at the fingertip of Chu Weiyang's seal was a strand of separated heart fire.
At the same time, the jade snake and Chu Weiyang's thoughts connected, and it also raised its head, approaching the seal.
The snake's movements and buzzing sound flashed and disappeared.
In an instant, that strand of heart fire actually manifested in the world!
But at the beginning, the flame was bright yellow, then, as if tainted by ink, it turned grayish-yellow in an instant, as if some impurities had emerged in the flickering flame.
Breathing deeply,
Chu Weiyang gradually calmed his mind.
Especially in the violently throbbing vermilion palace.
In the next moment, the raised seal hand returned to its original position.
The fingertip touched the heart, and in an instant, that strand of poisonous energy heart fire was guided back to the vermilion palace.
Then, Chu Weiyang slowly closed his eyes, entered a meditative state with the Five Hearts Facing the Sky posture, immersing himself in the cultivation and refinement of the Poison Dao technique.
-
After a long time, when the white jade poisonous snake weakly buzzed and retracted into Chu Weiyang's large sleeve.
At this moment, even in the dim underground palace, illuminated by the bonfire's light, Chu Weiyang's increasingly bright eyes could be clearly seen.
Although his face was still thin, his body still filled with ailments.
But a person's eyes were the best reflection of their current mental state.
"The Essence of Absorbing Qi from the Five Viscera," "The Ancient Teachings of Qingzhu on Harnessing Malevolent Spirits," "The Great Sun Pure Yang Fishing for Toad Technique"...
These three techniques, in Chu Weiyang's hands, supplemented by the "Essence of Monarch and Ministers in the Myriad Spirit Origin," in a convoluted way, barely formed a kind of incomplete cultivation cycle.
Standing still, pondering for a while, Chu Weiyang finally exhaled a turbid breath.
He looked at the steward Ma with a smile.
"This round of cultivation has brought about quite pleasing changes. The fusion of primordial qi and poisonous qi, advancing side by side in cultivation, for the first time, my progress has actually caught up with the dissipation of malevolent qi in my limbs and bones!"
"For the first time, through cultivation, I have maintained the degree of malevolent qi erosion at its original state!"
Such changes could truly invigorate Chu Weiyang.
However, Ma's unexpected indifferent response to Chu Weiyang's words.
"I understand even less than you do about these things..."
"The only thing I can teach you is the sword sect's methods. The only thing I know now is that with your extraordinary sword talent, now that you have glimpsed a faint light ahead, you can still use your emotions to comprehend the protective Gu Yu Sword!"
"In this dark and sunless underground palace, how long do you plan to stay?"
"Let alone the four seasons, can you even distinguish day and night in the underground palace?"
"As the sword intent of the Spring Equinox is stuck at the final juncture, do you plan to wait until the next year's seventh day to comprehend it?"
"At the top of a hundred-foot pole, a moment of hesitation may be a difficult step to take!"
"I wish to ask, is your sword sharp?"
"This is the only thing I understand!"
Many books are hard to find now, so cherish them while you can.
