Chapter 72: Cultivation
Before leaving, Elder Shen gave Song Wen 500 spirit stones as a reward for his meritorious service to the sect.
After leaving Elder Shen, Song Wen went to the market before it got dark.
He sold all the unused magic tools and the "Xuan Du Jing" and eight unused storage bags to the store, earning a total of 1,650 spirit stones.
The eight magic tools sold for 850 spirit stones, the eight storage bags sold for 200 spirit stones, and the "Xuan Du Jing" sold for 600 spirit stones.
Song Wen also signed a soul contract with the store that purchased the skills. In addition to practicing it himself or teaching it to his relatives, Song Wen could not pass on the "Xuan Du Jing".
Although the price of the store's recycling was low, it could save Song Wen a lot of trouble.
At this time, Song Wen had more than 6,000 spirit stones on him, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a Qi training cultivator.
With such a large amount of spirit stones, Song Wen naturally had to purchase some cultivation resources.
After a stroll in the market, Song Wen bought the Qi-gathering Pills and Corpse Evil Qi needed for cultivation.
He also bought silver stones, purple moon flowers, green spirit grass and other items for cultivating beetle Gu. The beetle Gu made great contributions during this trip, which further strengthened Song Wen's determination to cultivate Gu. He hoped that one day, he could cultivate the holy armor Gu that the old woman had been thinking about, which was comparable to the foundation-building period cultivators.
Then, he bought some poisonous spirit herbs.
He learned from the jade slips obtained from Yan Feng's storage bag that "The Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body" can be roughly divided into four realms: entry, proficiency, minor success, and major success.
Yan Feng has practiced this technique to the proficient level and can directly swallow poison to refine the body.
For newcomers like Song Wen who have not yet entered the door, the best way to practice "The Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body" is to soak in poisonous water and medicinal bath.
He also bought a black iron coffin to use for cooking medicinal baths. He originally wanted to buy a bathtub or a copper furnace, but either the material did not meet the requirements or the price was too high. In the end, he could only choose the most common coffin in the market as a bathtub.
After all, the Corpse Demon Sect is a Corpse Dao Sect, and it has the most coffin-type magic tools, which can be used for raising corpses and practicing.
Song Wen originally wanted to buy some life-saving items in emergency situations, but of course he got nothing. The last time he bought the Thunder Talisman, he was lucky. The life-saving items used in times of crisis are the bottom of every cultivator's box, and they will not be traded easily.
Finally, Song Wen bought some materials for corpse training and returned to the cave.
These materials cost Song Wen more than 600 spirit stones in total, which is enough for him to practice for a period of time.
The corpse puppet was seriously damaged and needed to be re-refined, and the strength of the corpse puppet was a bit tasteless for him. Since there were enough spirit stones, he naturally had to try to improve the strength of the corpse puppet.
After returning to the cave, Song Wen put the corpse puppet into the big red coffin for raising corpses.
Then he put in the Yin yellow soil, Yinming grass, corpse evil spirit and other corpse refining materials, and then poured in the blood stolen from the corpse cave. Song Wen began to use the method of refining corpses and began to hammer the corpse puppet.
In a moment, the big red coffin was filled with black corpse gas, which gradually became more and more dense until it completely enveloped the corpse puppet.
The broken body of the corpse puppet absorbed the corpse gas and began to gradually repair.
After an hour, the body of the corpse puppet was repaired, and Song Wen stopped casting spells.
Although the body of the corpse puppet was repaired, its breath had not yet recovered to its strongest state. The refining of the corpse puppet is like cultivation. It cannot be done in one go. It requires a long period of raising corpses and repeated refining.
Song Wen closed the lid of the big red coffin and let the corpse puppet recuperate in it.
He took out the black coffin made of black iron, poured in clear water, and put in various poisonous elixirs according to the recipe of Yan Feng's jade slip. He dug a hole in the ground below the black coffin, put in wood, lit a fire, and began to make a medicinal bath.
After three quarters of an hour, the potion in the black coffin boiled violently, bubbles burst one after another, and a faint poisonous gas evaporated and filled the cave.
At this point, the potion was initially boiled.
Fire!
Song Wen took off his clothes and jumped into the black coffin.
"Hiss!"
The boiling liquid medicine made Song Wen gasp for air, and his originally iron-blue skin instantly turned red, as if it was about to be cooked.
Song Wen gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and lay his whole body in the coffin. The light green potion gradually submerged him.
The toxins in the liquid medicine began to gradually erode his body with the high temperature. Tiny blood holes were corroded on his skin all over his body, and the toxins eroded into his body through the blood holes.
Song Wen, who was in great pain, tried to stay conscious and operated his magic power according to the "Million Poisons Mixed Original Body". The toxins that invaded his body were driven by the magic power and began to flow through his body according to the route of the technique, gradually strengthening his body.
"Ah!"
A few minutes later, Song Wen, who was tortured by the severe pain and could not hold on, poked his head out of the water and let out a painful roar.
Song Wen did not give up. After taking a breath, he immersed himself in the medicine again.
Half an hour later.
The light green potion in the black iron coffin became clear and the water temperature became cooler.
Song Wen crawled out of the coffin. Countless long and thin wounds covered his body, as if he had just suffered the punishment of slow slicing, which looked extremely terrifying.
He took a look at the residual potion in the coffin that had lost its medicinal properties, and he was still frightened.
No wonder there are so few body-refining cultivators in the world of cultivation. This body-refining process is too painful, it is simply an act of self-mutilation.
Before, when he practiced the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique", he already felt very painful, but compared with this "Ten Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body", the pain of practicing the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique" was a little bit not enough.
The most painful part of a cultivator's body refining is the process of swallowing natural treasures or external blood essence, absorbing the essence, tempering his internal organs and bone marrow, and increasing his essence.
Song Wen swallowed the blood essence of others, directly increasing his blood and qi, and thus feeding back to his body, so the pain was naturally much less.
Song Wen, who had just experienced extreme pain, could no longer practice the "Ten Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body" today.
The way of civil and martial arts is to relax and tighten.
If he continued to practice the "Ten Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body" regardless of the limit of his own physical endurance, his physical body might be at risk of collapse.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart. Sure enough, not everyone has the capital to refine the body. The spiritual medicine consumed in the medicinal bath just now was worth 8 spiritual stones, which was comparable to the monthly salary of some outer disciples.
After taking a healing pill, Song Wen began to practice the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique" to regulate his breathing, on the one hand to adjust his own state, and on the other hand to speed up the repair of the wounds on his body.
A night passed quickly in the practice.
The next morning at noon, Song Wen arrived at the corpse cave on time.
The sect mission has been completed and the house arrest has been lifted. He needs to continue to go to the corpse cave to complete the daily corpse work.
Seeing Song Wen, who had disappeared for many days, suddenly appear, Yuan Cheng did not ask much, and directly handed him more than a hundred corpses, and then ignored him.
