Chapter 172 A Blessing in Disguise

Taking three steps and two steps together, Li Chuyi came to the bookshelf and eagerly pulled out a book. After brushing away the dust on the book, a row of large characters appeared in front of me.

"Eight Methods of Condensing the Pill? Isn't it, the book of pills?" Li Chuyi's face darkened.

Even if it is an inferior skill, he will be very happy to hold it because he can sell it after learning it. But this was a book about alchemy. Li Chuyi, who was characterized as "unlucky" by Taoist Baijie, was naturally very dissatisfied. Even if he learned this book, it would be useless.

"It doesn't matter, there are others."

After comforting himself, Li Chuyi reached out and took down the other books and jade slips. As he looked through each item, his face became darker and darker, and finally his eyelids rolled up and he almost lost his breath.

The owner of this cave is probably a pretty good alchemist. Almost all the classics collected in this study are alchemy tips and various elixir prescriptions. Although some of the fine products in it are definitely worth a lot of money, I wanted to learn them myself before " Li Chuyi, who had made a fortune through "waste utilization", was naturally very dissatisfied.

Looking at these alchemy books, Li Chuyi even doubted whether the owner of the cave was capable of calculating and had a grudge against him. He calculated that he was coming today, so he left behind so many books on alchemy, secret techniques and techniques. There was none.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Li Chu raised his hand and wanted to throw all the books and slips away, but he quickly retracted them halfway, carefully flicked off the dust on them, and put them into the storage bag one by one.

This is all money!

If it broke and couldn't be sold for money, Li Chuyi would probably want to strangle himself to death.

He put them away one by one, leaving only a jade slip. With a gentle touch, the four characters "Three Transformations of Tempering Flame" appeared in his heart.

This is the only skill book on the bookshelf that he can use. It talks about the three-step method of controlling the Dan Fire, which is used to increase the success rate of condensing the Dan. These three moves can not only be used to refine elixirs, but can also be used directly as fire spells.

In the past, Li Chuyi's fire-moving Taoism only had the tricks in "The Way of the Infinite Universe". Due to his cultivation and the difficulty of "The Way of the Infinite Universe", he could only use Taoist talismans every time he used it. Casting the spell directly with bare hands would not only reduce the power It is greatly reduced, and there is a high chance that the spell will fail.

Now with the "Three Transformations of Tempering Flames", he finally had a fire technique that he could directly use. Although it is not as powerful as "The Way of the Infinite Universe", it is better in that it is faster to cast. As long as you master it well, you can cast it with a wave of your hand.

His spiritual thoughts penetrated the jade slips, and passages of formulas appeared before his eyes. Although the content of the formula is quite obscure, compared with the scriptures in the "Tao Canon", it is almost like vernacular, so Li Chu had no difficulty in understanding it.

After reading the summary of the opening chapter, Li Chuyi changed his mind and was about to take a look at the first pose, when the words that made up the first pose suddenly trembled, and a long and slender hand burst out of it.

Li Chuyi was startled, but saw that the big hand did not hurt him, but was holding it in the air. The broken words surrounding it immediately moved together and flew towards the palm of his hand. The words gathered together to quickly form a fire python. The small words that kept escaping from the python were like sparks bursting out, which was extremely vivid.

The text fire python coiled up in the huge palm, and a pair of snake eyes stared at Li Chuyi coldly, making him feel terrified. For a long time, the giant snake lowered its head slightly and spit out a mouthful of flames at the ground in front of it. The rolling flames did not spread out, but condensed into three large flame characters - Flame Python Transformation!

"It turns out that the essence of the alchemy fire is extracted and mixed with a trace of one's own spiritual thoughts to form a flaming python that is like a living creature. By tightly wrapping the flaming python around the alchemy furnace, the alchemist will be able to control the temperature of the furnace more clearly and accurately. It's amazing. Ah, there is no such technique in the book given by Old Man Baijie, maybe even he doesn't know how to do it!" Li Chuyi was secretly stunned.

He thought this technique was very strange, but he didn't know that the Taoist Bai Jie who had only taught him how to get started had no intention of teaching him any fire control techniques when he saw that he was so "unlucky" in the way of elixirs. "It's far away.

Feeling happy, he was secretly satisfied that he had "overwhelmed" Taoist Baijie. He was constantly pondering the formulas and techniques for the Flame Python Transformation. Li Chuyi raised his fat hand, filling his whole palm with mana, and gently stroked it while searching for a mysterious trajectory. .

"Gather!"

The heat wave hit, and a ball of flame jumped out from the palm of his hand that was clenched into claws, connecting end to end to form a ring, spinning rapidly in his palm.

"Is it done? Haha, I am indeed a genius. I learned it after just a few glances. How can such an excellent IQ be justified?"

Li Chuyi, who was full of pride and had been boasting for a long time, was just about to show off in front of Zi Yuan, but he saw the rapidly rotating ring of fire suddenly trembled violently and exploded with a "pop" sound.

The billowing heat wave instantly swept around. Fortunately, the furniture in the stone room was all made of stone. It was only slightly blackened by the fire wave, and there was no major damage. Zi Yuan, who was always vigilant next to her, immediately put a layer of protection around her body. The weak Yan Lang dissipated without even being able to touch the purple energy on her protection.

Li Chuyi was the closest. Although he sensed something was wrong and took protective measures in time, he was still swept away by Yan Lang. His fair and tender face was instantly covered with black ash, and a small piece of hair on his forehead was burnt. .

Looking at Li Chuyi who looked like he had just crawled out of the coal mine, Zi Yuan's pretty face twitched slightly, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. The sullen Li Chuyi's gray face instantly became Black and red.

"Mistake, this is a mistake!" Li Chuyi defended with a serious face, "I just learned it and I'm not proficient yet, it's normal to have this situation! If it's someone else, let alone the first time, even if he learns for several months or even years, he may not be able to be like me!"

Zi Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile on her face, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he put the jade slip away embarrassedly.

A good man doesn't fight with a woman, this is what the Taoist said.

Ignoring Zi Yuan's face full of teasing, Li Chuyi turned his head to look at the desk in the middle of the room, and saw that the paper on it was not burned in the flames just now, so he felt relieved.

Just now, I was busy trying new moves, and for a moment I forgot that there was something on the table. What if the paper on it recorded some powerful Taoist secrets, or the recipe of the "Meteor Fire Heavenly Tribulation Pill" against the sky, Li Chuyi would probably strangle himself to death.

This is all money!

He walked towards the desk, but as soon as he raised his foot, he felt a severe dizziness. Li Chuyi's body shook, and he fell forward in a trance. Fortunately, Ziyuan had been following behind him. Seeing that something was wrong, she quickly reached out to support him.

Li Chuyi's spirit was slightly shaken by the cold touch. He turned his head and gave Ziyuan a grateful smile, and then sat down on the ground.

After escaping all the way in the void, and fighting a big battle with the Nanxu family, Li Chuyi, who was only in the Jindan stage, was forced to use the Taoist magic that he could not use now at the cost of his blood and essence. Li Chuyi's whole body was overdrawn from spirit to body.

Although his mana was full with the help of the Sanlian Yiqi Pill, the pain and weakness of the body and the mental fatigue could not be eliminated.

Before, Li Chuyi's spirit had been extremely excited because of the pursuit and the joy of discovering the unmanned cave, and he suppressed his own exhaustion for a while.

The high tension when fighting with the portrait at the door has kept him going until now, but the excitement of seeing the prey and trying out the new magic on the spot, which was just the first time he came into contact with, made his already almost dry mind and body depleted again, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Ziyuan, protect me."

Li Chuyi said weakly, resisting the feeling of fainting, silently reciting the second chapter of the "Daodian", and taking the last bit of energy to enter the state of meditation and regulate his breathing.

Ziyuan's face was full of seriousness. She first closed the stone door again, then came to the table to collect the papers on it, and finally sat cross-legged beside Li Chuyi, her beautiful eyes closed, silently guarding him.

The purple air surged gently, and the huge ghost power was hidden. The powerful and oppressive spread around, warning any intruder that if he dared to move, he would be greeted by his ruthless full-strength attack.

The pressure bypassed Li Chuyi, and he was unaware. At this time, he had sunk deep into his mind, and only the second chapter of the scripture kept echoing in his mind.

Amid the voices of men and women reciting, the breath of the Dao Canon in Dantian circulated rapidly. Strands of breath tightly adhered to the Dao Seed, slowly healing the cracks on it. The Dao Seed was originally full of cracks and lifeless as if it was about to collapse, but under the warmth of the breath, the cracks began to slowly condense and became fresh again.

When the last crack disappeared, the Dao Seed shook slightly and spun rapidly. The speed of rotation was faster than ever before, and a vortex was created in the Dantian. The vortex became larger and larger, constantly sucking in the surrounding mana. If it weren't for the endless spiritual energy provided by the Sanlian Yiqi Pill in his Dantian, a spiritual energy vortex would have been set off around Li Chuyi long ago.

The endless spiritual energy kept spinning with the vortex, and countless impurities were constantly thrown out and discharged from the body through the pores, forming a layer of mist around Li Chuyi. From a distance, Li Chuyi, who was wrapped in the mist, looked like a fairy, with "immortal spirit" all over his body, extremely mysterious.

As the vortex rotated in circles, the closer to the Tao Seed, the purer the spiritual energy, until it was compressed like a liquid, and the pure spiritual energy would be sucked into the Tao Seed, and after the final refining of the Tao Seed, it would become Li Chuyi's own mana and flow out along the meridians in his body to all parts of his body.

Li Chuyi, who was concentrating on chanting scriptures, did not find that the mana refined after the Tao Seed was repaired was different from before. A trace of inexplicable breath came out of it, which was the unique feeling of the breath of "Tao Canon".

The breath of "Tao Canon" and mana do not conflict, they can tolerate each other, but they cannot merge with each other. In the past, every time Li Chuyi used it, he used mana as a carrier of water, carrying the breath of "Tao Canon" for him to control. It's not that he had never thought about merging the two into one, but the two are like oil and water, they can coexist but cannot blend.

This time, the Dao Seed was almost broken, but after being repaired by the mysterious aura of the Dao Canon, I don't know what happened, the refined mana actually merged with a trace of the aura of the Dao Canon. Although it was only a little bit, it was also a huge improvement, which could be said to be a blessing in disguise.

If Li Chuyi was sober at this moment, he would inevitably brag about himself again.
