Chapter 220: Delicate Golden Thread
That night, Xiao Mian was meditating in his own quiet room, thinking about the Five Elements Dao that Dan Qiusheng had taught him during the day.
After Xiao Mian's understanding came to an end, Guitou came out silently, flew around Xiao Mian twice, and then slowly floated in front of Xiao Mian. However, the look that Guitou gave Xiao Mian was quite strange, which made Xiao Mian shudder.
"Gui Lao, what are you doing?"
"I want to take a closer look: what's so good about you? How come even that old bald donkey at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is like a demon when he sees you? This shouldn't be the case!"
The old bald donkey that Guitou mentioned was naturally the Fu Hu Venerable!
"When you were planning to take over my body, didn't you also tell me that I have a unique bone structure and extraordinary talent? Maybe that old monk also saw my extraordinaryness?" Xiao Mian's re-mention of the past made Guitou shake his head in embarrassment, and then took the initiative to change the subject: "A good man does not talk about his past achievements! Boy, quickly find the magical Buddha light that the old bald donkey gave you just now, so that I can open my eyes."
"Magic Buddha light?"
After being interrupted by Guitou, Xiao Mian remembered that there was an extra Buddha light in his body that was sent by the Fuhu Venerable. Although even the scholar said that the Buddha light was beneficial to him, Xiao Mian still decided to find it out and study it.
After all, this is his own body, and having a Guitou is enough for him to worry about.
Fortunately, the black cloth is easy to fool. It seems that because of the huge loss of spiritual energy over the years, every time the black cloth wakes up briefly, it eats a lot of spiritual stones, and then continues to sleep, which doesn't make Xiao Mian worry about anything.
But if there is another inexplicable Buddha light, Xiao Mian will always feel uneasy.
After a moment, Xiao Mian found the Buddha light in his soul, but at this time the Buddha light turned into a golden ancient bell.
"Golden Bell Cover!"
"Golden Bell Cover? What is that? The magical power of this Buddha light is called Golden Bell Cover?"
"Yes! It seems that most of the secret techniques and skills of the body refiners at that time were inherited by Buddhist monks!" After sighing for a while, seeing Xiao Mian's puzzled face, Guitou explained: "This Golden Bell Cover was not owned by Buddhist monks in my time. As far as I know, it was created by a body refiner named Zhou. It is one of the best secret techniques among the external hard skills of body refiners. Now it can be cultivated into the Buddha light magical power by the big monk. Obviously, Buddhist monks have obtained this secret technique for more than one or two days, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years."
"Listen to what the old ghost said "Is this Buddha light magical power actually a physical cultivator's magical power?"
"What's so strange about this? Many magical powers in Buddhism are physical cultivators' magical powers! For example, the divine eye, divine ear, and divine foot are all magical powers that are naturally realized after the body is tempered to a certain degree; of course, Buddhism is not only a physical cultivator lineage, there are also meditation and spells, and if I remember correctly, Buddhism seems to clearly state that magical powers cannot be pursued!" Speaking of this, Guitou himself felt a little uncertain, but still warned Xiao Mian: "Anyway, just remember that there are not many normal people among Buddhist monks! Don't be fooled by that old bald donkey to go to that Tianlong Temple!"
The reason why Guitou was so nervous naturally had his reasons.
It turned out that Buddhist monks were proficient in the way to subdue ghosts. If Xiao Mian went to Tianlong Temple, it was possible that Guitou's feet would be exposed, and then he might end up being converted by the great monks.
Xiao Mian didn't say anything after hearing this. To be honest, he naturally didn't want to be a monk, but at this time Xiao Mian's attention was mostly on the golden bell.
Unconsciously, Xiao Mian thought of Dan Qiusheng's Five Qi Hunyuan Bell.
Although he couldn't have a real Five Qi Hunyuan Bell, it would be nice to get a golden bell to play with and have fun!
Besides, according to Guitou, this golden bell is known as one of the top secret techniques of the outer door hard skills of the body refiner.
If it is refined, his defense ability will definitely be greatly improved. It is always good to have one more life-saving skill.
"You want to practice the golden bell?"
Guitou, who has been in Xiao Mian's body for many years, is a ghost. Seeing that Xiao Mian didn't speak, Guitou asked tentatively.
After Xiao Mian nodded, Guitou laughed unscrupulously.
"Haha..., I advise you to save your trouble! Although the Golden Bell Cover is not a profound magical power, it does not require a high level of understanding from the cultivators. Instead, it requires the cultivators to suddenly realize the method and comprehend the magical power in the process of hard practice. Although you are a little smart, even with this Buddha Light magical power as a blueprint, it is not easy to practice the Golden Bell Cover in a short time. I advise you to save your trouble!"
"Who said I want to comprehend the Golden Bell Cover? I just want to 'make' a Golden Bell Cover!"
After interrupting the ridicule of the ghost head, Xiao Mian began to try to make a "Golden Bell Cover" in his body according to his plan.
The ghost head was bored, but he was not annoyed. He wanted to see how Xiao Mian made a Golden Bell Cover!
But after a moment, Xiao Mian opened his eyes again, full of helplessness.
"What? But the Five Elements Poison cannot be condensed into one furnace?"
After Xiao Mian's attempt just now, the ghost head, who was extremely familiar with his body, naturally knew what Xiao Mian meant by making a Golden Bell Cover.
Xiao Mian's plan is to use the physical properties of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" to condense a golden bell shape on his body surface to enhance his defense.
Inspired by the Five Qi Hunyuan Bell, Xiao Mian even thought of the spiritual object that condensed the entity of the Golden Bell Cover. That was the Five Elements Strange Poison that he had refined into his body before. If the Five Elements Strange Poison could be refined into one and formed into the shape of a Golden Bell Cover, not only the physical defense, but also the Five Elements defense would be greatly improved.
It's just that knowing is easy but doing is difficult. The principle is simple, but the practice is difficult.
After listening to Guitou's guess, Xiao Mian nodded, but he was still thinking about his own experiment. Before, Xiao Mian refined the Five Elements Strange Poison into his body and completed the second stage of practicing poison transportation and meridian quenching. Now Xiao Mian's body is full of Five Elements poison mist. It is not difficult to mobilize them. The key is how to mix the different poison mists belonging to the Five Elements together and make them form a stable form of a Golden Bell Cover.
But once the Five Elements poison mist merges with each other, their own toxicity will change. They will either annihilate each other or their toxicity will be greatly reduced, leaving Xiao Mian at a loss.
"I made a mistake! The five elements of strange poison are like the five elements of spiritual energy, each with its own properties. It's difficult to melt them into one furnace!" Xiao Mian was about to give up his naive idea, but Gui Tou suddenly suggested: "Maybe, you can start to try to practice the third stage of the fourth cycle of "The Ten Thousand Poisons Curse"!"
"The third stage? To transform poison and refine marrow? What does Gui Lao mean: melt new spiritual objects and use them to fuse the five elements of poison mist? But spiritual materials that can melt the five elements of strange poison into one furnace..."
Xiao Mian just said this, and suddenly an idea came to him.
He quickly took out a soul-sealing box from the white jade flying pendant, and Xiao Mian opened it, and a large group of exquisite golden threads with colorful light appeared.
He took out a small piece from it and took a closer look in his hand, and Xiao Mian humbly asked for advice.
"Is this what Ghost Master is talking about? Isn't this exquisite gold thread used to smelt unused metals when refining flying swords? Could it be that it can also smelt the five elements of strange poisons?"
"Boy, you have practiced the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" three times completely, but you still don't understand its true meaning? Poison is only one aspect. The most essential part of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" is actually "entanglement". Every time you complete the large cycle of practicing the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse", you will gain a new ability to manifest physical properties. That's right! The exquisite gold thread is indeed used to fuse different metals, so its physical property is fusion. After being smelted by you, this physical property can be used to smelt anything in your body - wrapping the five elements of strange poisons!"
Xiao Mian was shocked when he heard this, and saw that there were already a lot of exquisite gold threads in the soul-sealing box, so he planned to smelt the exquisite gold threads according to what Ghost Head said.
After completing a new round of practice of the "Soul Separation Method", Xiao Mian's number of divine thoughts increased to seven. In order to increase the progress, Xiao Mian mobilized all the seven divine thoughts, divided his body into seven areas, and carried out the steps of melting the exquisite golden silk at the same time. The third stage of "The Curse of Ten Thousand Poisons" was carried out rapidly.
Of course, no matter how fast it is, it is not a one-day job to complete this step.
In this way, in the next few days, Xiao Mian went to Houtuping with Leng Ningyu and others to listen to Dan Qiusheng's preaching during the day, and practiced "The Curse of Ten Thousand Poisons" at night, hoping to complete the melting of the exquisite golden silk as soon as possible, so as to integrate the five elements of strange poison.
Finally, on the fifth day, which was the last night of Dan Qiusheng's preaching, Xiao Mian completed the third stage of the practice of "The Curse of Ten Thousand Poisons", successfully melted a ball of exquisite golden silk into his medulla, and further strengthened his body.
Of course, the more important thing is: Xiao Mian can start trying to make his own golden bell!
