Chapter 544: Nurturing a Spiritual Embryo
As more and more mana source was injected into the Magic Lightning Pearl, the surface of the Magic Lightning Pearl began to flash with dark green spiritual light, as if a little more spirituality had appeared in an instant.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's face was extremely pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but the dark green smoke in his dantian still turned into wisps and flowed towards the Magic Lightning Pearl.
There was no sign of stagnation.
The Magic Lightning Pearl was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing Xiao Lin's mana source. Only the Lingzhu, a rare item in the world, could accommodate so many mana sources.
You must know that the mana source of a Jindan cultivator can easily flatten a mountain when it really explodes. It is the source of power in the dark. Ordinary items, even magic weapons refined by sacrifice, cannot accommodate so much power and will fall apart in an instant.
Once such a situation occurs, the first step of the Taixuan Daoyuan Lingtai Fenying Dafa to cultivate the spirit fetus will be considered a real failure, and the mana source that enters the spirit fetus cannot return to the body again.
It will return to the heaven and earth in an instant. This part of the source of mana is completely lost. From this, it can be seen that once the condensation of the spirit fetus fails, how much damage will it cause to Xiao Lin.
Soon, more than half a month passed.
During this period, Le Hu also came twice and found that the restrictions outside his master's cave had been opened. Not to mention him, even if a Yuanying old monster came, it would take a long time to attack.
Le Hu, who wanted to ask his master for guidance, could only return to the cave in dissatisfaction and practice hard behind closed doors. In the decades since Jiang Yingxue's reincarnation, he has been accompanied by wine every day.
He has been in various immortal cities and even among mortals for twenty years, and he has earned himself the nickname of "Zui Zhenren".
Thinking of this "nickname", Le Hu also shook his head secretly. He has been accompanied by wine all year round, often drunk on the streets, and occasionally encountered unfair things in the mortal world, and would also take action to punish slightly.
He never thought that those mortals who benefited from him actually gave him the title of "Drunk Immortal". He was quite ashamed to say that. You know, in the world of immortal cultivation, immortals are called Jindan cultivators.
As a low-level cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, he really doesn't deserve the title of immortal.
In the first few days of cultivation, he felt an unbearable addiction to alcohol every time he practiced, and he couldn't enter the state of cultivation for a long time.
At this moment, he really understood why Xiao Lin frowned after calling him into the cave.
Le Hu knew that he had been cultivating immortals for more than 120 years, and he was probably not much behind his master. Although his aptitude was not bad, he really didn't have the ambition to make progress in these years, and his realm was abandoned.
If this continues, he wants to advance to Jindan in this life, basically there is little hope. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency, and his addiction to alcohol was instantly suppressed.
He thought of Jiang Yingxue, his master in his previous life and his current senior sister. In just a few decades, she has cultivated to the late stage of foundation building. With the help of Master Xiao Lin, she will probably be able to successfully form a pill soon.
In this way, even if he wants to stay with her, he may not be able to stay with her for long.
Thinking of this, Le Hu couldn't help but tremble, as if he had suddenly realized something. At this moment, he suddenly felt the urgency of time.
The road to immortal cultivation is long and full of twists and turns. The life span of immortal cultivators is also very long compared to mortals, but if they don't make progress, hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye, and in the end, dust returns to dust.
The drunkenness in Le Hu's eyes gradually dissipated, and a trace of clarity began to emerge. He took a deep breath, took a five-element elixir, slowly closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on cultivation.
......
More than two months later, Le Hu's cave was still closed, as if he had entered a state of hard practice.
Outside Xiao Lin's cave, the forbidden spiritual light flickered from time to time. For more than two months, Xiao Lin had not stepped out of the cave, and it seemed that he was in seclusion.
In the training room, in the air in front of Xiao Lin, a blue-white bead was spinning, and countless tiny lightning flashes flashed on the surface of the bead from time to time, but there was no sound.
At the same time, the inside of the bead was also like a cursory visit, with countless scenes emerging.
On the way to Huai County... a long team of refugees... a few vague but friendly faces... Qingshui Lake... Dry Water Sutra...
Scenes and people flashed on the blue-white bead. After a long time, the picture turned, and various strange landforms appeared again, including deserts, forests, mountains and endless seas.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's Dantian had stopped injecting the source of mana into the Phantom Thunder Bead, but Xiao Lin's face showed pain, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
The scenes flashing on the bluish-white bead also appeared in Xiao Lin's mind, which also caused a ripple in his peaceful heart.
"My husband, you are so cruel. You left for decades, leaving Xueying alone and helpless." A beautiful face that could suffocate people instantly appeared in Xiao Lin's mind.
"Xueying?" Xiao Lin exclaimed, his eyes full of pity, and he was about to embrace Xueying in his arms.
But just as he was about to embrace the beauty in his arms, a grim smile suddenly appeared on the stunning face of "Lin Xueying". When her mouth opened, nine crescent moons flew out in a row, like a mad arrow, slashing towards Xiao Lin fiercely.
"Xueying you..." Xiao Lin screamed in fear. At the current distance, facing the attack of the magic weapon, it was too late even if he wanted to dodge.
Xiao Lin could only watch in despair as the nine crescent moons passed through his chest...
"Puff~~" In the training room, Xiao Lin spurted blood wildly, and it actually sprayed directly on the bluish-white bead. The picture on it suddenly froze, and the flickering green spiritual light also dimmed rapidly.
"Disciple, Master has worked so hard. Now the Ten Death Poison has corroded the flesh and blood of the whole body, and only this withered skeleton is still lingering." The picture changed, and a bloody withered skeleton appeared in front of Xiao Lin.
Two dark green flames flashed in the eye sockets of the withered skeleton, and Su Qingyun's words rang in Xiao Lin's ears as his mouth opened and closed.
"Master, Disciple has obtained the Wushang Grass, which is enough for you to suppress the Ten Death Poison for a hundred years." Xiao Lin said softly, and was about to take out the Wushang Grass.
"No need. With Wushang Grass, living with the honor of Master is just a torture. My dear disciple, you should accompany Master to re-enter the reincarnation." The skeleton suddenly stretched out two hands, carrying a green flame and grabbing Xiao Lin.
"Ah~~" Xiao Lin screamed in fear, his blood boiling, his throat sweet, he was about to dodge, but was surprised to find that he couldn't move at all.
After Xiao Lin felt that he couldn't move, he was so scared that his soul was gone, his face was pale, and his eyes couldn't help but close.
At this time, a spiritual light flashed in his sea of consciousness, and Xiao Lin's hidden memory suddenly emerged. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to be practicing a secret magic?
Whether it was Lin Xueying or Su Qingyun, they were his closest people, and they would not attack him no matter what.
Thinking of this, a dark green flame suddenly appeared between Xiao Lin's eyebrows. The flame exuded a bone-chilling chill, instantly covering Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness, and at this moment, Xiao Lin also completely woke up.
"Inner demon?" Xiao Lin was startled and instantly understood everything that had just happened. He looked at the dry bones in front of him, rushing towards him.
"Get out of here." Xiao Lin, who had recovered, naturally understood that everything in front of him was the illusion of the Phantom Thunder Pearl itself that triggered his inner demon. If it weren't for the Qingyan Spirit Fire protecting its master at the most critical moment.
Maybe he had been careless and his soul had been scattered. If that were the case, perhaps countless years later, a cultivator would enter his cave and find that he had turned into a dry skeleton.
With a roar, the dry bones suddenly burned up, and turned into ashes amid a shrill scream.
In the training room, Xiao Lin's pale face began to regain a trace of blood color, and his breathing began to stabilize. After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin opened his mouth and a lush green golden pill flew out.
It was the golden pill that Xiao Lin had practiced for more than a hundred years. The green golden pill flew to the side of the blue-white bead. There seemed to be some kind of connection between the two. A dark green light bridge extended from the green golden pill to the blue-white spiritual bead.
As the light bridge connected the two beads, Xiao Lin's body also shook slightly, but Xiao Lin did not open his eyes. The green golden pill and the blue-white bead began to rotate slowly.
Two hours later, the green golden pill suddenly broke free from the restraint of the light bridge and shot straight into Xiao Lin's mouth, disappearing without a trace.
The blue-white spiritual bead was also emitting a green spiritual light at this moment, with a strong look of daze. At first glance, it was no different from the golden pill condensed by the golden pill cultivator, and it emitted a powerful mana fluctuation.
However, it was still much weaker than the real golden pill.
At this time, the blue-white spirit bead shook slightly, and also shot into Xiao Lin's mouth and disappeared.
The spiritual power around Xiao Lin was also absorbed into his body, and at the same time, the spiritual energy in the entire cave began to rush into Xiao Lin's body frantically.
The spiritual energy within a range of dozens of miles around Qinghu Island seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, rushing towards Qinghu Island frantically, and even formed a series of strong winds.
At the same time, a group of dark clouds with a diameter of ten miles slowly condensed above Qinghu Island.
Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and a terrifying pressure that made people tremble instantly enveloped Qinghu Island.
Many mortals on Qinghu Island looked up at the dark clouds in the sky in horror, their faces pale. Although they had heard that when the immortal master broke through the realm, he would attract some strange phenomena in the world.
But it was the first time to see it. Although the pressure was not directly aimed at mortals like them, the momentum alone had already made them tremble with fear.
On some islands not far from Qinghu Island, many cultivators flew into the air with various lights.
"Could it be that someone has successfully formed a golden elixir and is about to pass the golden elixir thunder tribulation?" Most of these cultivators were in the foundation-building stage, and they all looked towards Qinghu Island with envy, guessing in their hearts that the human race was about to give birth to another golden elixir cultivator.
However, they did not know that Xiao Lin was not passing any golden elixir thunder tribulation, but had only completed the first step of the "Taixuan Daoyuan Lingtai Fenying Dafa" and cultivated a spiritual fetus.
