The sword is the devil

Chapter 45 The choice of medicinal herbs
Hou Tiao started a new practice life in his new residence, and it was also during his first evening class in his new residence that he swallowed the legendary Qi-Entraining Pill for the first time in his life.

He has no obsession with taking the pill or not; if everyone takes it, and the pill does not have any obvious side effects, why not take it?

In the practice circle, there is a school of pure pills that are king, and there is a school that follows nature and refuses to accept pills. Of course, these are extremes; for most monks, one of the principles everyone follows is, take it if you have it, and stand up if you don’t have it.

The key is still a matter of resources, and the pills are far from enough to be eaten at any time like eating jelly beans. This is a way of cultivation that rich people can afford.

Take Hou Tiao as an example, he is considered to be from a famous sect now, only a bottle of ten qi-entraining pills is needed in one month during the entraining period, if he practiced once in the morning, at noon and in the evening, he would persist for more than three days, and the remaining 20 How many days to find who?

It is said that the higher the realm, the more refined and expensive the pill is, the harder it is to refine, and the less it is distributed. If you want to eat it at any time, it depends on your ability to make extra money.

From Hou Tiao's point of view, eat when you have it, don't worry about it if you don't have it, and live with the situation.

The yin qi pill melts in the mouth, and turns into a stream of fresh air that goes straight to the inner organs, slightly spicy, as if holding a hot water bag in the body.

The effect was not bad, his first feeling was that this food could be eaten, and it was self-evident that it would help his practice; but his second feeling was worse, because he suddenly discovered that the vortex that must appear in the lower dantian every time he was in motion suddenly Lost trace, disappeared?
If that thing really disappears and he returns to normal, this may not be a good thing, after all, there must be a demon if something goes wrong; but if swallowing the pill affects the appearance of the mysterious vortex, then the problem is a bit tricky.

Dan, can you swallow it or not?Vortex tour, do you want to continue?this is a problem!
Get him upset.

Walking out of the room, looking up at the starry sky in the yard, thinking about things alone; there was a faint intermittent singing voice from the yard next to it:

... Facing the morning clouds, the evening rain is faint, and the chaotic peaks are leaning against each other.Wuxia Gaotang, lock Chu Palace Zhu Cui.Painting the halberd to move the spring, beautiful makeup to welcome the horse, Xiang Yichuan will be a metropolis.

Thousands of miles away, a hanging shadow, what joy is it.Go all the way to southern Guizhou, go to Tianchiwu, look at the extreme Shenzhou, thousands of miles of smoke and water.In the wine court, there are Chinese and Korean scholars.Lychee cheeks are deep red, musk navel is full of fragrance.

It is a woman's voice, with a deep and magnetic voice, beautiful rhythm and long aftertaste; compared with An He's melodious and cadenced lyrics, it has a particularly desolate meaning, which cannot be learned, but lies in the exaggeration of the environment.

One side's water and soil support one's people, and one's mountains and rivers support one's feelings.

He didn't look into the source of the sound, and he didn't want to know which woman was hurting herself in the mirror. These mortal stories are getting farther and farther away from him. Now that he has left, he shouldn't look back.

The next day it became clear that when the Golden Crow jumped up, he started his morning class; this time he did not swallow the pill, and sure enough, the mysterious vortex appeared again.

The soul entered the soul realm, and not long after advancing in the passage, he encountered a problem that he had been worrying about all along. There was a fork in front of him, but he didn't know which one was the right way?
No cornerstone of judgment!
These days, he has also killed hundreds of wandering souls. Every time he kills the other party, he can absorb energy to strengthen himself, but what he absorbs is only energy, but no consciousness; the consciousness of these low-level wandering souls is chaotic, without any There is no order at all, only the instinct to kill is left.

This made it impossible for him to gain cognition of this soul state by absorbing these energies.

If it is a maze, the only choice he can make is to always take the left path, or always take the right path, and he can always get out.This is a very stupid method, but it can ensure that the correct one is not missed.

He chose the left one of the two forked roads, and when he left, he left his own complex mark at the fork. I hope this place will not change at any time, otherwise it will really be a road that will never go through.

The soul body appeared again in front of him, and he carefully set his posture. He no longer had the impulse after beheading the sword soul before, thinking that he could rest here.

Because he found that the abilities of the wandering souls that appeared are also quietly increasing; is it growing according to the improvement of his own abilities, or is this soul state inherently like this, and the challenges are getting stronger and stronger?
If he wants to walk through this soul path, how high will the most powerful wandering soul he will meet be?
You can't close your eyes and rush forward, because many of the current wandering spirits can use spells in addition to weapons!Or the soul body is extremely strong, just like the real world of comprehension, there are Taoism, magic, sword, bone, body, blood, etc., and the current soul state is also developing in this direction.

Before making contact, he couldn't predict what he would encounter.

During the cautious probing of both sides, the distance gradually narrowed, the wandering soul opened its mouth, and a ball of flames sprayed over...

It's Daoxiu!Hou Tiao dodged the flames with a short body, and jumped flat on the ground. During the forward rush, his body kept swaying from side to side, avoiding the continuous burning of the flames, and there was still a brush passing by him, which made his soul state unstable, but these Can bear it!
Until he was approaching, he suddenly jumped up and chopped down with a sword!
It must be admitted that his current sword skills are more and more simple and fierce, his moves are hidden and unpredictable. Basically, a Taoist like this can't escape his head-slashing sword after being approached by him.

However, this time there is something unexpected!Seeing him jumping up close, the wandering soul didn't dodge or dodge, but the soul's light flickered, the soul body suddenly floated forward, and one fist swung out a fierce punch, almost smashing Hou Tiao, who was floating in the air, to pieces. .

It's not Taoism, it's physical training!The flame just now is not a spell, but a supernatural power!Or, is it a Taoist who likes to practice boxing?

He knew that he couldn't retreat, otherwise he would have to do the adventure approach again, and he didn't know if he could persist until he rushed in front of this guy.

The fist and the fast sword flew together, and the soul and body were inextricably entangled. Hou Tiao couldn't remember how many punches he had received, but he knew how many swords his opponent had received!

This was a tragic loss for both sides. When the opponent's soul body was cut to pieces and disappeared, he himself was also in disarray, unable to form a soul shape, and both of them returned to nothingness.

Opening his eyes, Hou Niao woke up from the soul state, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be inseparable from such a hearty battle, so let the pill go to hell!

This is the decision he made, he swallowed the first pill in his life, and also the last pill in this life.

Just go forward in such a flat way, why do things you don't like for the sake of speed?

... It is not surprising to learn the Tao, doing nothing is better than doing something.The air is calm and uninterrupted, and the mind is calm and clear.
