Fairy cage

After entering the prison, Yu Lie can leave here at any time, but once he leaves, he cannot walk in again.

The chance given to him by the female Taoist disciple in the alchemy room was only once.

This alone made Yu Lie realize that this prison was also a rare place. Especially the "Qi Blood Stone" on his hand, it might be a rare artifact.

Such an opportunity cannot be given up.

So when Yu Lie was in prison, he really regarded himself as a prisoner. He kept his anklets and bracelets on his body, and he just walked around in the small cage like a mortal every day, with no thought of getting out.

In the first few days, Yu Lie didn't feel anything special.

But as time went on, he found that his control over the muscle lines on his body seemed to be stronger than before.

As for the Qi and blood all over his body, because of the imprisonment of the Qi-Blood Stone, it was increasingly locked in his body and could not come out even a drop.

This is not Yu Lie's illusion.

And the superposition of the two, the effect is that Yu Lie clearly has no practice, no transfer of Qi and blood, but his control over the pores all over his body is increasing every day.

This surprised Yu Lie:

"That female Taoist disciple did not lie to me. She came here to accumulate Qi and blood. Although her cultivation level will not increase, her digestion progress will be greatly improved!"

A major sign of the progress of a high-ranking Taoist boy is the degree of control he has over the pores and tiny muscles of his body.

If we can reach the state of "no feathers can be added, no flies can fall", it means that the hair removal and marrow cleansing are completely over, and the cultivation of the ninth-grade Taoist stage is complete!

Yu Lie is now relying on the special function of this prison to accelerate this process.

As long as he stays here for a while and can control the pores all over his body, when the time comes for him to move Qi and blood and strengthen his body, the efficiency of digestion will be greatly increased, and he will get twice the result with half the effort.

When he leaves here and completes the third-level poison technique in advance and obtains "qi poison", he will be sure to completely digest the changes of cutting hair and marrow within a month.

In this way, even if he stays in a cage for more than half a year, he will make rapid progress!

Feeling this benefit, Yu Lie paced even harder in the small cage.

After careful consideration, he also picked up the practice of the Five Poisons Refining Zang Guidance Technique and practiced it seriously in the cage.

In fact, when he first entered here, Yu Lie did not believe in evil. Although his energy and blood were restricted, he continued to practice the guidance technique.

Just because I couldn't feel the surge of Qi and blood, I felt very frustrated. In addition, Daoyin Technique looks superficially superficial, with only ten or eight movements, but its inner process is very subtle.

Without the feeling of surging energy and blood, Yu Lie tore his muscles after just a few days of training, which shocked him.

This also made Yu Lie worried that if he continued to exercise, his movements would deviate too much and injure his body, so he gave up.

Now that he realized the benefits of having his qi and blood temporarily blocked, Yu Lie carefully picked it up again, increasing his activity level to make himself more familiar with the state of qi and blood being restrained.

During this period, he would also unshackle himself once a day, circulate his energy and blood, and feel the degree of muscle damage throughout his body, so as to adjust the time and posture of the guidance.

In addition, they will take out food that can replenish qi and blood, put it in their mouth and chew it in the lower abdomen.

Although Qi and blood were banned, Yu Lie's physical strength was still there.

At this time, consuming blood-enhancing foods is far more nourishing to the body than taking nutritious bigu pills. At the same time, it will not waste the medicinal effect like taking blood-strengthening pills and other pills.

Especially when he gets greedy, he takes out the monkey wine he brought back from the wild and drinks it once a day.

Yu Lie suddenly felt that his days in prison had become more interesting, not a hardship. Even to a certain extent, it was easier than when he was in seclusion in the Poison Quiet Room.

A month passed.

The rest of them were disheveled in the cage, drinking wine when they were thirsty, boxing when they were drunk, reading when they were awake, and sleeping when they were tired.

In just over a month, he had not practiced the technique for long, at most one hour a day, but his understanding of the Daoyin technique had improved to a higher level, and the number of pores on his body he could control had also increased a lot.

He estimated that in three months at most, he would be able to control all the pores on his body and master the muscle strength down to the smallest detail.

This day.

Yu Lie finished a set of guidance skills as usual. After staggering a few steps, he turned his head and fell asleep.

In recent days, he drank half a bag of wine every day and slept for four and a half hours, never letting his body get tired in the slightest.

After Yu Lie's breathing became longer, suddenly, something crawled out of a rotten straw pile outside his cage.

The other party touched around and touched the wine bag that Yu Lie had thrown to the edge of the cage, and was about to take it back happily.

But just when it was about to retrieve the wine bag, a figure flashed across the cage, and Yu Lie's fallen figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the cage again.

With a slight hook, he grabbed his wine bag back.

An exclamation sounded: "Hey!"

This voice did not come from Yu Lie's mouth, but from outside his cage, or to be more precise, from the cage next to Yu Lie.

The pile of straw was opened, the rotten smell wafted out, and a figure sat up in the cage next door.

The figure appeared, and now it was Yu Lie's turn to show surprise in his eyes.

Yu Lie looked at the object that wanted to steal his wine bag, and found that it was a black arm of the figure next door.

Realizing that there was someone next door to his house, the surprise in Yu Lie's eyes became even stronger.

He has been in the cage for more than a month. It is very quiet around him. No one disturbs him at all. It is even quieter than a quiet room.

This made him think that he had entered a separate area, or that there were no people or monsters worthy of being imprisoned in this prison recently.

As a result, a figure suddenly appeared next door where he thought there was no living thing. But for more than a month before, I couldn't find the other party at all.

Yu Lie stared at the "inmate" next door in surprise, feeling that he was really extraordinary.

He muttered in his heart:

"This person is at least a Taoist boy who has digested the transformation of hair and marrow. He can close the pores all over his body and even practices special skills. Otherwise, it is impossible for this person to be able to breathe in such a state. In my perception It’s like a dead thing.”

At this time, the figure standing out from the straw pile next door was scratching his head and squirming like a monkey with fleas.

Yu Lie squinted his eyes and took a closer look. Although his eyesight was much reduced when he arrived at the empty chamber due to the sealing of Qi and blood, Yu Lie could still take a general look at the other person.

That man was even more disheveled, unkempt, and skinny than Yu Lie. At first glance, one would think that this person looks like a monkey skeleton.

The other person's face was covered by clumps of hair and stained with straw, making it hard to see clearly, but there was a long beard under his chin, so he must be quite young.

Before Yu Lie could say anything, the "prisoner" next door lay on the cage and said with a shy face:

"Brother, enjoy the wine!"

The other party's voice was dry and old, and he stretched out his hand. He tugged at it anxiously, trying to take away the wine bag in Yu Lie's hand, but he couldn't reach it because it was blocked by the iron railing.

Yu Lie looked at the other party's appearance and wondered, "Could it be that some old man in power in the town committed something and was imprisoned?"

Thinking about it in his mind did not prevent Yu Lie from making neat movements with his hands.

He responded: "Go on."

He took the initiative to throw the wine bag that he had retrieved in time.

The old man next door grabbed the wine bag and uncorked it impatiently, then raised his head and drank it down.

The other party drank eagerly and was very happy!

At this time, Yu Lie, who had been observing the other party, felt a sense of familiarity from the raised face of the other party.

Yu Lie struck up a conversation casually:

"This fellow Taoist, have you and I met somewhere?"

"Hey!" The other party continued to sip the drink, and just mumbled back: "Okay, drink."

But just the other party's smile made Yu Lie's eyelids twitch slightly, remembering where he had seen the other party.

A thought flashed through Yu Lie's mind:

"Old beggar."

It was in front of his house, in the yard of the landlady next door!
