Fairy cage

In the stone house of Yu Lie, hehe!

A rustling sound resounded in the room, and squirming and incomplete centipedes were struggling to crawl on the damp ground.

There were also corpses of bats, toads, geckos, and venomous snakes, black, yellow, or green, in different colors, falling in large numbers into the quiet stone house.

A large part of the wings, tusks, heads, and skin of these corpses have disappeared. The corpses are twisted and mutilated, and the juice smells fishy.

And the place where these missing parts go is in a large tank that is placed in the center of the stone house!

The large vat was already filled with the Five Poisons, and there were even live Five Poisons swimming and rustling in it.

Wow! Someone was standing in front of the large vat, stirring the poisoned water in the vat. This person was Yu Lie.

After he rented this stone house, he immediately started practicing his poisonous skills. It was already the tenth day of being immersed in the skills.

He stayed in the stone house for nearly ten days and rarely went out during this period. Yu Lie's complexion turned a little pale. Fortunately, his patience paid off.

Today is the day when he prepares the five poison decoction according to the records in "Five Poison Refining Guidance Technique" and starts practicing!

Yu Lie stood in front of the big vat. After repeatedly assessing the ratio of the five poisons in the decoction, he gathered his thoughts and sat down in front of the table.

He took the candle, lit the last remaining incense stick.

Zhila! A burst of blue smoke surged up, forming a shape that looked like the Five Poisons, and the smoke squirmed.

Yu Lie sat cross-legged in front of Xinxiang and took a deep breath. Smoke like poisonous insects and snakes immediately poured in and penetrated into his mouth and nose.

Taking a long breath, Yu Lie inhaled all the letter cigarette smoke into his lungs. His complexion changed, and a green color appeared, which was so weird.

At the same time, the "Five Poisons Refining Zang Guidance Technique" that he had memorized in his mind became clearer.

Yu Lie took advantage of the last opportunity, memorizing the skills and reviewing his arrangements, each step flowing through his mind.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Yes, all the arrangements are in place!"

With his mind relaxed, Yu Lie took a breath and released white smoke. The color of the smoke had dimmed and it dissipated immediately.

The incense on the bedside table was also burned, and Yu Lie stopped looking at it.

However, there was still one last inspection step that needed to be done, so he couldn't be careless. Yu Lie stood up and walked quickly towards the birdcage on the side, lifting the wide and hanging black cloth on it.

A shivering starling appeared in the birdcage sleeping secretly. Yu Lie ignored it and directly carried the birdcage to the water tank and soaked the starling in the water tank.

He was testing the toxicity of the decoction.

Compared with other techniques, the most difficult point of "Five Poisons Refining Viscera Guidance Technique" is that getting started requires tempering the body with poisons.

If the body's bones are slightly weaker, it will end in sudden death. If the body's bones are strong, the skin may peel off and the flesh may rot, turning into a skinned person, with serious sequelae.

It is written in the exercise that if they do not have a special constitution, or have been exposed to poisons since childhood, and have acquired poison resistance, 80% of people will die in the first step, almost seeking death, and another 15% of people will be disabled for life, and life would be worse than death.

Even if you can survive the introduction, it's not a one-and-done experience. After that, you still need to temper your body with various poisons, and they are no longer applied externally, but taken internally!

Even if he has a special physique and powerful qi and blood, if there is even a slight mistake in the measurement of the poison, or if he fails to apply it step by step, he will still be dead.

Even if Yu Lie had a bronze wine cup in his hand and could extract the poison, he would not dare to practice this technique easily.

Fortunately, his preparation worked. The myna who was testing the medicine choked in the water tank and kept making rattling sounds and cursing! But its voice was not weak at all, but became more and more energetic.

After calling for a while, the myna simply lay down in the cage, floated on the water, and lay flat.

When Yu Lie saw this, his face showed joy. The five poisons and other medicinal materials in the water tank, and even the water tank itself, were all taken in by him with a wine glass and refined.

Myna is fine now, so there should be no problem!

Yu Lie took the birdcage out and put it aside. He was tempted to sit in it, but he resisted and chose to continue to observe the starling's subsequent state.

Although the purpose of the "Five Poisons Refining Zang Guoyin Technique" is to take the essence of the five poisons to temper the physical body, in the early stages, the toxins are actually by-products for the human body.

However, the toxins cannot be completely eliminated. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the technique, Yu Lie did not refine the five poisons for too long, lest all the toxins would be eliminated and the poison technique would not be achieved.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the lively myna showed signs of side effects. It seemed to be drunk, swaying around, and continued to curse, but gradually lost its energy, kicked off its paws, and fell into the birdcage.

Yu Lie stepped forward to check and found that the starling who had been tested was not dead, but just fainted, and the qi and blood in the starling's body seemed to have strengthened a bit.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and after waiting for a long time, he found that there was still no change, and then he looked at the prepared Five Poison Decoction.

Yu Lie no longer hesitated, he covered the birdcage, took off his clothes, stepped into the water tank, and began to temper himself with poison.

As soon as he entered the decoction, Yu Lie immediately felt a tingling sensation, as if his whole body was being pricked by needles, but compared with when he took it, it was nothing to mention.

Yu Lie was immersed in the vat, with the top of his head submerged, leaving no gaps. He even took out a dagger and used it to cut open his arms, legs, and the skin on his chest and abdomen, allowing the soup to seep into his flesh.

Blood and decoction were mixed together, and the liquid in the vat was scarlet.

At this time, Yu Lie felt the severe pain again, which became more and more intense, comparable to the pain when he took it to enter the Tao. But instead of being timid, he became greedy.

Thoughts came to Yu Lie's mind:

"Since you have endured such suffering, what you gain in the future must be worthy of this suffering!"

He imagined: "Immortality, rare treasures, fairies and goddesses... I should have my share!"

After taking the medicine to get out of seclusion, he repeatedly received "good luck", which made Yu Lie truly feel the benefits of "magic power".

Therefore, the pain not only did not reduce his desire to practice, but instead greatly increased his desire to quickly master the technique.

In the stone house, the water tank shook, and the remaining flesh and blood were corroded by toxins.

Roar!

He gradually became ferocious, with fur and claws, and transformed into a wolf shape, roaring in the water tank.

However, his will was firm, and he suppressed his wolf body. He took toad-like, snake-like, tiger-like and other guiding postures in the tank, actively absorbing the power of the decoction and strengthening his physical body.

Yu Lie roared as he swallowed and vomited wantonly in the water tank, washing all his flesh and blood.

"It's better to be full of demons than to be depressed!"

Time passes and a whole day passes.

The sound of praise!

Finally, the tall water tank in the stone house burst, and the dim water flowed out, making the damp stone house even more humid.

Yu Lie walked out of the water tank, stepped on the debris with his bare feet, grabbed some clothes, and put them on his body.

The tempering has been successful. Not only does his skin not leave any scars, but all the old scars have also been eliminated.

Now Yu Lie has a face like a crown jade, red lips and white teeth, and eyes like paint. He is not as handsome as a mortal, and his temperament is almost demonic.

More importantly, he looked down at his hands, walked to the wall, and with a slight stroke, the hard black stone cracked and cracked like a melon and fruit under his hands.

But this time, Yu Lie did not transform into a wolf body, only the muscles on his arms were knotted, and sharp claws grew out of his fingertips.

The "Five Poisons Refining Viscera Guidance Technique" was just an introduction, but it actually allowed him to learn to suppress the wolf body, and he could exert great power without transforming into a wolf.

Yu Lie was extremely surprised:

"The Poison Technique is really fast! If this continues, I only need to take the Poison Tempering Body a few more times. In about three months, I will be able to achieve the goal of 'returning the demon and returning to my true form', completely digesting the changes like a wolf and a tiger, so that I can undergo the next transformation. !”

Theoretically, it takes an ordinary Taoist boy a year to digest the results of a transformation. This is also the reason why Daotong only received welfare benefits for three years in Blackwater Town.

But in fact, the digestion time of Taoist boys often exceeds one year, or even five or six years. The worse the qualifications, the less qualifications, and the lower the level of skills, the longer the time spent on digestion.

If the food you eat is too strong, the digestion time will be greatly increased.

Over the past few decades, only a handful of Taoist boys have been promoted to eighth-level Taoist disciples within three years, and then walked out of Blackwater Town.

And now, Yu Lie sees hope that he can become one of them!
