Chapter 504 Blood Terracotta Technique
"After spending countless time, effort and resources, I finally broke through to the middle stage of the Jindan period." Yuan Ming slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining.
This time, he broke through the threshold in one fell swoop, thanks to the Earth Core Fire Lotus, which played a major role.
But compared with the previous time, the increase in mana after taking the Earth Core Fire Lotus this time was significantly reduced.
"It seems that it is better to take the remaining fire lotus back and refine it into pills." Yuan Ming said secretly.
In the magma lake, in addition to the eight or nine fire lotuses seen by Fairy Jinyun and Taoist Qianbao, he later took away the remaining dozen Earth Core Fire Lotuses when Hongling and Xueying captured the Fire Crocodile King, and now they are all stored in the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron.
The Earth Core Fire Lotus is extremely precious, and Yuan Ming is not going to take it out after the secret realm competition is over.
With so many Earth Core Fire Lotuses, he should be able to refine a lot of pills, enough to increase his mana to the late stage of the Jindan period.
Some black impurities flowed out of Yuan Ming's skin again, which was the result of the second tempering of the Earth Core Fire Lotus.
Unlike the increase in mana, the tempering effect of the Earth Core Fire Lotus did not weaken, and his muscles, bones, blood and flesh were strengthened again.
During this day and night, there were two star rains, both of which were blocked by the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear.
The star pattern on Yuan Ming's bones became much clearer, and there was a faint connection with the stars in the sky, and he really felt a bit like a star body.
Yuan Ming's mana penetrated his body, shook off the black stains, and stood up and went outside.
"Congratulations, Master, your cultivation has improved greatly!" Huazhi had already been waiting outside and bowed to the ground, while Leiyu was dancing with his wings and quacking.
"You are thoughtful, reward!" Yuan Ming was in a very good mood and waved his sleeves.
Two demon pills, one green and one blue, flew out, both of which were level three demon pills.
Huazhi and Leiyu opened their mouths to catch them and swallowed them to refine them.
Yuan Ming put the ghost slaves such as Tiangui Sanren into the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, and ordered Lei Yu and Huazhi to fly back into the spirit beast bag. Then he put away the two sets of magic arrays around the cave, returned the same way, and soon returned to the bottom of the canyon where Long Chong and others were in seclusion.
There was a faint flash of forbidden light on the cave opened by Long Chong and others. Obviously, they were still in seclusion and practicing, and had not come out.
The same was true for Wu Lu's cave. The surrounding restrictions were more sophisticated, and Yuan Ming's consciousness could not penetrate it.
Yuan Ming's mind moved, and he controlled the first soul consciousness to fall, and easily peeked into the situation inside.
Wu Lu had restored his original appearance at this moment, practicing in the cave, and the red light on his body flickered from time to time. Like others, he was refining the earth's core fire lotus.
On the wall next to him hung a dark red full-body armor, composed of countless jade pieces the size of a fingernail.
Yuan Ming took a closer look and his expression changed slightly.
A human face vaguely appeared on the face of the dark red armor, which was Hong Chang of Blood Swallow Island transformed by Wu Lu.
Hong Chang's expression was changing slightly, especially his eyes were slowly turning, as if he was alive.
This dark red armor seemed like a magic weapon, exuding a strong mana fluctuation, mixed with soul fluctuations, and no one knew what it was.
"What did you see?" Xiying noticed the change in Yuan Ming's mood and asked.
Yuan Ming described everything he saw in detail.
"This dark red armor should be a blood terracotta armor, how is it possible! Are you sure that the armor is hung on the wall?" Xiying asked in disbelief.
"Absolutely true." Yuan Ming said.
"It shouldn't be like this..." Xiying still couldn't believe it.
"What is the origin of this armor that surprised you so much?" Yuan Ming asked.
"The blood terracotta armor is derived from a blood terracotta technique, which is somewhat similar to the fur-covering technique of Biluo Cave. It refines a person into a terracotta armor, and the mana and soul can be stored in it. When other people wear it, they can become the appearance of this person, and there is no flaw at all." Xiying's tone returned to calmness and said.
Yuan Ming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that even the Yuanying stage cultivators could not see through Wu Lu's transformation. It turned out that he used such a secret technique.
"Where did the blood terracotta technique come from? Could it be from Nanjiang?" he asked immediately.
"Blood terracotta is a secret technique of the East China Sea, which was passed down from the Lan Ke Jade Book. It has been lost now. I don't know where Wu Lu got it from." Xiying said thoughtfully.
"Lan Ke Jade Book? Luo Wanshan said before that the Golden Sunflower Taming Beast Technique was obtained from the Golden Sunflower Heavenly Book. Both of them are related to the Three Immortal Islands. Is there any special origin?" Yuan Ming remembered something and asked.
"This is a long story. The reason why the legend of the Three Immortal Islands has been circulated in the East China Sea for so long and has lasted for tens of thousands of years is related to three books, namely the Golden Sunflower Heavenly Book, the Lan Ke Jade Book, and the Penglai Immortal Book." Xiying said.
"The Golden Sunflower Heavenly Book, the Lan Ke Jade Book, the Penglai Immortal Book..." Yuan Ming repeated it.
"These three books were spread from Sanxian Island a long time ago. They record many exquisite and extraordinary magics and magical powers. Each of them has incredible effects, far surpassing the inheritance of various sects in the East China Sea. Among the three books, the Golden Sunflower Book is the most widely circulated. It has 24 pages, and each page records a secret technique, covering five-element magic refining, alchemy, talismans, beast taming, spiritual plant cultivation, etc. Fusang Island once obtained three pages of the Golden Sunflower Book, one of which recorded the secret technique of beast taming. It was with this technique that Fusang Island allowed the fifth-level golden crow to settle on Fusang Island, establishing the lofty status of the first island in the East China Sea." Xiying said.
"What about the other two pages of the Golden Sunflower Book?" Yuan Ming nodded slightly. No wonder Lu Changfeng knew the complete Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique, and asked in his mouth.
"I don't know about this. If you want to know, just catch the Fairy Jinyun and search her soul directly." Xiying said.
"You just talked about the Golden Sun Book, what about the Bad Ke Yu Book and the Penglai Book of Immortals?" Yuan Ming changed the topic and asked again.
The strength displayed by Fairy Jin Yun in the battle in the magma lake was not outstanding, but this woman gave him an inexplicable sense of danger. He did not want to conflict with this person unless he had to.
"The information circulated in the Penglai Immortal Book is very limited. The Lanke Jade Book is good. There are finally a few secret techniques spread, and the art of blood figurines is one of them. This technique was originally called the art of jade figurines, and the effect is not what I just told you. Like you, the art of jade figurines is actually a weapon refining formula that uses a precious material called innate bone jade to refine a jade figurine armor. This armor has incredible effects. As long as it is worn on the body, people will become immortal. If he falls into a deep sleep, his life will be condensed, even if it is a dying person. No matter how much time passes, even if it is thousands of years, as long as the figurine armor is untied, the person inside can wake up again, as if he had just done something. A big dream." Xiying said.
"Able to condense life? It's magical. This jade figurine technique should be a super powerful sealing technique that can completely seal life!" Yuan Ming was quite shocked and tried to explain.
"Some people also think that the art of jade figurines is very useful for extending the life of some powerful monks who have reached the end of their lifespan. Therefore, some powerful forces in the East China Sea once ran all over the continent, collecting innate bone jade like crazy, and they also refined it. Several jade figurines. Unfortunately, the number of innate bone jade is very rare, and they were quickly collected. Other people who were not willing to give up tried to use similar materials to refine jade figurines, but they all failed. No matter what materials were used, they could not be used. The connection will always disintegrate at the last moment, and the art of jade figurines will gradually be forgotten." When Xiying said this, she seemed to feel dry in the mouth and paused.
"What happened next?" Yuan Ming asked with interest.
"It wasn't until four or five thousand years ago that a weapon refiner from the Blood Demon Ancestor appeared in the East China Sea. He was obsessed with the art of jade figurines. He spent his whole life trying to refine jade figurines with various materials, but failed. This person also When his longevity was about to end, a genius actually used a large amount of blood essence, soul, and more than a dozen Yin-type materials to create an acquired material that was very similar to the Innate Bone Jade. He called it the Blood Demon Jade. . The blood demon jade can also be used to refine the figurine armor, but the color becomes blood red. The blood demon ancestor changed the name of this armor to blood figurines, and the art of jade figurines was also changed to the art of blood figurines. The armor also has the effect of condensing life after being worn, and it will not fall into deep sleep. It can move normally like ordinary people. However, this armor also has a shortcoming, that is, once it is put on, it will become one with the body and cannot be taken off. "Xi Ying. said.
"So powerful? In this way, wouldn't the blood figurines be more useful than the authentic jade figurines? Although it is troublesome to not be able to take them off after wearing them, people who are dying probably won't care." Yuan Ming said.
"In the beginning, the East China Sea monks were indeed as you said. There were seven or eight Nascent Soul stage monks who were close to their lifespan. They asked the Blood Demon Ancestor to buy this armor. The Blood Demon Ancestor also happily agreed and refined a batch of blood. The warrior armor was sold at a high price. Those Yuanying stage monks relied on the blood warrior armor to successfully extend their lives. This incident caused huge waves in the East China Sea. Other people who were doubtful had to be convinced and competed to buy the blood warrior armor. However, after that, the blood warrior armor was sold out. The Demon Patriarch disappeared mysteriously for unknown reasons, and no one could find him. This made many people very regretful. As a result, decades later, a mutation occurred, and the bodies of those Nascent Soul monks who relied on blood figurines to extend their lives were gradually filled with blood. The terracotta warriors were swallowed up by their armor, and finally they were completely integrated into it, leaving no bones left," Xiying said.
"Sure enough, everything has a price." Yuan Ming was not surprised by this.
"The relatives and friends of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were furious and looking for the Blood Demon Ancestor everywhere. However, the Blood Demon Ancestor had been extinct for many years. Those people had no choice but to let go of this grudge. However, they later accidentally discovered that the Yuanying Stage monks were swallowed by the blood figurines. The mana soul of the warrior actually still exists in the figurine armor. After other people put on the blood figurine, they can transform into the appearance of their predecessors and inherit their mana and magical powers. This discovery made the forces where the Nascent Soul monks belong to were extremely happy. If the big forces do not have high-level monks to take over, they will not be able to intimidate the four parties at all. The reason why those Nascent Soul stage monks wanted to use the blood warriors to extend their lives was also to continue to sit on the island. If the blood warriors can permanently retain a Yuanying stage combat power, it would not be a bad idea. A good thing. But the development of the matter went beyond everyone's expectations. The owners of the second generation of blood figurine armor were all monks in the pill formation stage. After these people controlled the Nascent Soul stage combat power for decades, they were all defeated by the blood figurine armor. Devouring, and the situation inside the armor changed drastically, the originally sealed Nascent Soul Stage combat power disappeared out of thin air, and was replaced by the magical souls of those monks in the Dan Formation Stage. These forces did not give up, and tried several more times, and finally determined that the blood figurine armor could only be used. Keep the magical power of the previous user," Xiying continued.
"In this case, the armor of the blood warriors is quite useless." Yuan Ming shook his head and said.
