Chapter 170 The Immortal Taught Me the Mystery

Murong Ji took a few steps back and slapped the blank wall again.

"Scratch it"

The mud fell off, revealing countless digital traces. Murong Ji carefully cleaned up the remaining mud and looked again.

My heart started beating violently.

It is neither a thing nor a color, so who can guess its end? It has a destination, the elixir of the three fields.

Chaos is like the beginning of human conception. After three hundred days, the body is formed. After three hundred days, the qi of my elixir is formed into spirit. The sky is like a basin, and the earth is like a rock. Yang is born in the earth, secretly carrying the Yin body, not entering the pure Yang, and reaching the sky is...

Murong Ji took a look at the name and was stunned for a moment. "Zhi Xuan Pian", this is the "Zhi Xuan Pian" by Master Chen Tuan.

I hurriedly walked to another article, which was still "Zhi Xuan Pian", Lu Zu's Zhi Xuan Pian.

Murong Ji's breathing became heavier. Looking closely, he saw that it was a "Zhi Xuan Dan Sutra" and a "Zhi Xuan Jian Sutra" to be precise.

"I dreamed of visiting Xihua in the Ninth Heaven, and the Immortal taught me the Mysterious Chapter."

Murong Ji murmured to himself that the Zhixuan Chapter was mentioned in the scriptures left by his master Zhang Boduan, but he was not sure which chapter he had seen.

According to his estimation, it was the "Zhi Xuan Dan Jing" by the Taoist master Chen Tuan.

After writing down the two scriptures, Murong Ji looked at the pile of soil and saw the changes in its soil quality, which was what had been covered up in the past few decades.

Could it be Li Canghai?

Murong Ji frowned slightly. Li Canghai's tragic death might have been caused by the golden eagle. Thinking of this, Murong Ji's heart sank.

Then he realized that he had been in the cave for such a long time and had not felt anything unusual.

Murong Ji turned around and walked outside. Nothing strange happened until he walked out of the cave.

[Is it because I don’t practice that kind of skills? ]

Murong Ji was a little uncertain. He was ready to fight that thing to the death.

This is the first battle between the Xuanmen.

As the sky was about to dawn, Murong Ji felt a little disappointed. This kind of opportunity was really rare, and he didn't know when he would encounter it next time.

Thinking of this, Murong Ji turned around and walked into the cave. This time, he sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to practice the fetal breathing technique.

That feeling came over me again, as if I was being nurtured in my mother's belly, comfortable and safe.

Drowsiness came again, but Murong Ji stayed awake this time, still holding the Vajra Bracelet in his hand, ready at all times.

He didn't know how long he had been in a daze, but a chill on his back slowly spread up, and Murong Ji felt it secretly.

He wanted to see what this ghost thing was going to do.

Suddenly, it was like a gentle breeze blowing slowly across Murong Ji's cheek, just like a gentle woman's hand gently resting on Murong Ji's shoulder.

The next moment, Murong Ji suddenly thrust the Vajra Bracelet in his hand behind him.

"Zheng! Buzz!"

"thorn"

There was a golden light in the cave, and the buzzing sound was so loud that the surface of the surrounding stone walls turned into powder in an instant.

The crackling sound of ice cubes falling into the boiling oil, coupled with the effect of golden light, gives people a burning sensation.

In fact, the temperature did not change at all.

The room darkened again, and Murong Ji collapsed to the ground, without any strength left.

Diamond bracelet, almost drained my energy.

All his half-life practice was no match for a pull of the diamond bracelet...

Murong Ji half-lay on the mat, and he really couldn't muster any strength. The remaining internal force in his body circulated rapidly, causing Murong Ji's blood to flow as well.

Murong Ji felt that some inexplicable things were gathering in his body, in wisps, very comfortable, as if these were what he was supposed to absorb.

There was some confusion in his eyes. The magic pill inexplicably grew several times stronger, reducing his decades of hard work.

Finally, a hint of color appeared on his pale face.

[Is this... the fruit of that ghost thing?!] He was not sure.

He lay prone on the cushion, moved his fingers, and was just about to practice the fetal breathing method when he was startled. He saw the shadow at the entrance of the cave move.

【Did I see it wrong? 】

Having just experienced a thrilling battle, he was a little nervous and would be scared to death at the slightest movement.

Even breathing became a lot lighter.

Murong Ji stared at the shadow on the wall at the entrance of the cave. The shadow moved instantly, and Murong Ji's heart almost jumped out. [It really moved! ]

A layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead. He had no internal strength left. If something unexpected happened...

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the torch near the cave entrance, which flickered.

Murong Ji instantly breathed a sigh of relief, [It was the wind, I was really shocked. ]

With some strength regained, Murong Ji quickly practiced the fetal breathing method. The environment here was special, and practicing the fetal breathing method could help him recover faster.

Murong Ji had just closed his eyes when a huge creature, a spotted clouded leopard more than a man tall, slowly walked out from the shadow of the cave entrance. It walked towards him carefully step by step, silently.

Murong Ji felt a little uneasy and woke up from his meditation. He opened his eyes and saw a bloody mouth.

A chill rushed to his head, and the shock and fear at that moment made him unable to control his body.

A hint of mockery flashed in the giant clouded leopard's eyes, and it pounced and bit Murong Ji's head.

Murong Ji pinched his thigh hard and rolled to the side in a hurry, looking very embarrassed. At this time, he had gotten rid of his fear.

He had caught him off guard, and now that he had come to his senses, Murong Ji took a deep breath that he had cultivated over the years.

Martial arts are a person's courage. After practicing martial arts to a certain level, the underlying logic in his concept is to be brave and aggressive, and to fight for life and death.

While the giant clouded leopard hadn't reacted yet, Murong Ji used his remaining internal strength and struck it with a palm!
This palm of great compassion almost drained all his remaining internal strength.

"Hoo!"

The screams were accompanied by the rumbling sound of drums.

Murong Ji didn't pay attention to the palm force he exerted. He stood up, drew out the Tianwen Sword, and carefully watched the beast's reaction.

A clouded leopard of this size had a rumbling sound from its body and abdomen, shaking the entire stone chamber and filling it with dust.

When he turned his head, Murong Ji discovered that the tiger whiskers around his mouth were covered in blood, especially his eyes, which were extremely smart and contained emotions.

Murong Ji frowned slightly, this was his second time fighting against such a 'demon' thing. Compared with the white ape, this clouded leopard obviously had more murderous aura.

"It seems that you have eaten quite a few people!" Murong Ji's face was gloomy. He was still impressed by the strong body of the white ape. He estimated that the body of this leopard was also much stronger.

Humans are truly weak and pitiful in front of these creatures.

"Just let me eat you obediently, won't you?!" A magnetic voice came, but it was a charming female voice.

Murong Ji's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale in an instant. This ghost thing has really become a spirit!

After calming down, Murong Ji looked at the clouded leopard, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He trembled the tip of his sword and took the lead in attacking.

The leopard's agility was beyond Murong Ji's imagination. Murong Ji's sword missed and the Vajra bracelet in his left hand fell down.

The clouded leopard didn't understand Murong Ji's insidiousness, and was hit directly on the lumbar spine by the diamond bracelet.

With a "bang" sound, Murong Ji's palm became numb.

The man and the beast passed each other, and Murong Ji looked again. The clouded leopard was almost half-lying on the ground, trying hard not to collapse.

Murong Ji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the diamond bracelet would be so heavy! Normally, he really didn't feel anything at all.

The opportunity could not be missed, Murong Ji took a few steps forward and saw that the clouded leopard's dodging speed was not as fast as before.

Murong Ji rushed forward with his sword, stabbing it directly into its abdomen. With a strong slash, a big hole was instantly opened by the Tianwen Sword.

After standing still, Murong Ji stared at the clouded leopard, then frowned, and a foul odor hit his face.

This is the smell of rotting meat, especially human flesh, which is the most rancid.

My current strength has increased several times. Even without internal strength, this body is extremely powerful.

With such a huge strength, it is no problem for him to learn from the King of Chu and lift the tripod.

Murong Ji stepped forward, and the clouded leopard kept retreating while meowing. This surprised him a little. Can't this thing talk?

"Senior, please spare me. I beg you to consider that it is not easy for me to practice in this mountain, so let me go."

Murong Ji's face darkened as he listened to the delicate voice of the queen. He quickened his pace again and raised the Vajra Bracelet high up, smashing it hard on the clouded leopard's head.

"Senior! Why are you committing such a sin? I just ate a few people, but you want to kill us elves! Don't you want to become a god?"

"bump!"

A bracelet hit him and killed him instantly.

Murong Ji was certain that it was dead and could not bear to be dead any more. He let out a long breath. The stench in the stone chamber was so overwhelming that he could not stay there any longer.

Walking out of the cave, Murong Ji frowned tightly. At this moment, he suddenly felt that if it was really possible to cultivate immortality and escape underground, it might not be a good thing for human beings.

Humans are too weak compared to animals.

According to the cultivation methods he understood, those who practiced both the body and the mind and who were naturally strong would have an easier time practicing.

Perhaps there are some individuals among humans who are quite strong, but most of them cannot even cultivate internal strength.

Murong Ji looked at the endless starry sky and realized at this moment that perhaps technological development was the only way for human beings to advance universally.

Retracting his thoughts, Murong Ji tapped his feet lightly and headed towards Huayang Palace.

Half a month later, Murong Ji was sitting in the carriage back to Gusu, listening to Yang Yueman scolding him with tears in her eyes, and he could only smile helplessly.

"During the time you were missing, Lord Su went there."

Murong Ji was startled. Lord Su? Which Lord Su? Looking at the letter handed over by Yang Yueman, the words "Personally from Murong" were familiar to him.

Murong Ji was silent for a long time. Su Shi was gone. It seemed that Shi Yuan had taken away all his spirit...

On April 12, the first year of Jianzhong, Su Shi died of illness at his home in the capital. Unlike his original fate, Su Shi in this life was a high-ranking official with a high salary, and his life trajectory was finally full of ups and downs.

Instead of ups and downs.
