Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 176 The Qilin Body

Li Yunsheng didn't know about the fact that the old pagoda tree at the door had burned down to only half, after he returned to Baiyun Temple.

That day, he stood in front of the pile of ashes of the old locust tree, and stood motionless all afternoon.

He seemed to be unable to accept this reality all of a sudden.

Since the day he came to Qiushui, consciously or unconsciously, he has regarded this old locust tree as an old friend of his, accompanies him to study, watches him practice boxing, and watches him practice sword, rain or shine.

He is neither foolish nor stupid. After the old locust tree blooms, the locust flowers on the branches survive the harsh winter. Naturally, it cannot be an ordinary tree.

In fact, after seeing the pile of ashes of the old locust tree for the first time, a name appeared in his heart——

"Longevity Wood"

The basis for this is that I saw myself in that strange memory, just like the old pagoda tree saw himself from the same angle.

It's okay to say that a tree is spiritual, but it's unbelievable that a tree has such a long and complicated memory.

If there is, it can only be the legendary longevity wood.

But all of these are his conjectures. If he wants conclusive evidence, he can only ask his master Yang Wanli.

the next day.

Li Yunsheng, who hardly slept all night, went to find his master Yang Wanli.

Naturally, he wanted to ask Yang Wanli about the old locust tree.

However, Yang Wanli went into the wine cellar and did not come out for many days, saying that the brewing of this year's Baijiu was at a critical juncture, so he only saw the big brother Zhang Antai.

"I forgot to tell you when I went to Xinyu Building a few days ago that the old locust tree at your door was struck by lightning and burned."

Seeing that Li Yunsheng asked about this matter, the elder brother said apologetically.

"How could the one struck by lightning burn so cleanly?"

Li Yunsheng was puzzled.

"The old locust tree probably gave birth to a soul, so it attracted thunder."

The elder brother thought for a while and said.

"The aura of autumn water is abundant, and some mountain spirits and tree demons are nourished by the aura of autumn water and finally give birth to souls. This is not new in autumn water. It's just that things in chaos have souls. If this is against the law of heaven, they will be punished by heaven. If they can bear it, they Then you can continue to practice, but if you can’t stand it, it will disappear like the old locust tree in front of your door.”

Seeing that Li Yunsheng was still full of doubts, the elder brother explained in detail.

Although what the elder brother said was convincing, Li Yunsheng still didn't think that the old locust tree was burned down by lightning.

"Thank you, big brother, for letting me know. I'll go back first."

Knowing that he couldn't ask anything from the elder brother, Li Yunsheng said goodbye.

"Come to my house for dinner today."

The elder brother smiled wryly.

He didn't understand why Li Yunsheng was so attached to an old tree.

"No."

Li Yunsheng smiled and refused.

It can be seen that the junior brother seems to be in a bad mood today, so the senior brother Zhang Antai didn't force it. In addition, there were still things in the temple, so he left after a few pleasantries.

And Li Yunsheng returned to the hut on the top of the back mountain.

Without the shade of the old locust tree, the hill looks much more open and dazzling.

Although Li Yunsheng still had many doubts in his heart, he took the initiative to shelve the matter of the old locust tree after today.

I don't know if he has developed the habit of watering the old locust tree every day. Every time he goes down the mountain, he will instinctively bring two buckets of water up, and pour it on the burned "remnant limb" of the old locust tree.

However, as Mr. Da said, completing the bone replacement surgery is just the beginning of his practice for him, and he has many things to do next.

In the following days, Li Yunsheng's life returned to peace.

He went to the fields on time every day to work, and under the guidance of his senior brothers, his several acres of fairy land had also been made decent by him, and rows of emerald green wheat seedlings had grown out.

Except for the farm work in Guanli, he used all the time he used to read to study the parchment.

In addition to recording the method of bone replacement surgery, this sheepskin scroll also introduced in detail the method of practice of the "Tianyan Clan" after receiving bone replacement surgery, and even went into detail about which skills to practice, and the daily routines. Diet and daily life, in short, are everything.

Through these days of sleepless nights and foodless studies, Li Yunsheng finally selected the things that he could use here.

The Tianyan people call the people who have undergone the bone replacement surgery the Qilin body. The cultivation method of the Qilin body practitioners is completely different from that of ordinary practitioners.

In the records of the Tianyan clan, all cultivators with unicorn bodies are without exception the brave war gods of the Tianyan clan.

However, looking at this record from the perspective of a bystander, this unicorn body cultivator is more like the embodiment of killing.

The purpose of a normal cultivator's practice is nothing more than to understand the way of heaven, get rid of the turbidity, transform it into a clear one, and finally ascend to immortality and live the same life as the heaven and the earth.But the unicorn cultivator has only one purpose of cultivation, which is to make himself stronger, and then serve as a sharp weapon for the Tianyan clan to kill.

Originally, Li Yunsheng thought that this was the mission entrusted by the Tianyan Clan to those who cultivated the Qilin body, but after carefully studying the sheepskin scrolls, Li Yunsheng discovered that this was not the mission of the Tianyan Clan, but the ultimate destination of the Qilin body cultivators.

Because it is impossible to form pills, the only thing a unicorn body cultivator can do is to use a special qi training method of the Tianyan tribe to crazily gather the aura of heaven and earth, refine it into true essence and fill it into the unicorn bone in the body. The ability to hold the true essence turned these unicorn body practitioners into walking treasuries of true essence.

Therefore, often a Tianyan clan, a spiritual man-level unicorn body cultivator, can easily kill a real person-level cultivator when the qilin bone has enough real energy.

But at the same time, because ordinary cultivators must first destroy their dantian before performing bone replacement, the cultivation base of these unicorn-body cultivators will always stay at the moment they accept bone replacement.

That is to say, in the days to come, their practice will not improve even a little bit, which is why they are said to be the killing tools of the Tianyan clan.

As I said before, a unicorn body cultivator at the spirit level can easily kill a real person level cultivator with enough real energy in the unicorn bone.

But it is precisely because of this that the first flaw of the unicorn body cultivator comes.

Imagine using the body of a cultivator at the spiritual level to mobilize the true energy equivalent to that of a real person cultivator, how much load would it place on that body?
Therefore, every leapfrog killing by a unicorn body cultivator is equivalent to taking a slow poison. When the poison accumulates to a certain level, it will start to eat back at the body.

It is not that the Tianyan tribe has not thought about this matter, so they are quite strict when selecting people to perform bone replacement surgery. In addition to choosing one out of ten thousand bones and physiques, they must also be at least spirit-level practitioners.

Even later, only real-life cultivators were eligible for bone replacement.

However, Sun Wumou and Mr. Da had already considered these two points when they decided to perform bone replacement surgery on Li Yunsheng.

First, because Li Yunsheng is a rootless celestial vein, his dantian is almost the same as that of a crippled one, so it will not cause the repulsion of the unicorn bone.

And secondly, Sun Wumou has naturally considered the fact that the unicorn body cultivator cannot improve his realm, which is why they had to help Li Yunsheng break through to the upper-human realm, even if he was a fake upper-human realm, before they were willing to help him. reason.

Because although Li Yunsheng's realm will drop immediately after breaking through, the understanding of the way of heaven and the evolution of the body and meridians gained from breaking through the realm are real and will not disappear because of the fall of the realm.

But despite this, these two flaws of the unicorn body cultivator are also warning Li Yunsheng that if he cannot continue to break through, even having a unicorn body is useless.

And the next thing that caught Li Yunsheng's attention in the parchment scroll was the first step in his cultivation as a unicorn body practitioner——

"Burning bones."
