Purgatory

Chapter 15 Phoenix Marrow Quenching Body
Pang Jian had a nightmare.

In the dream, the painful feeling of being bitten by thousands of ants when he woke up seemed to have become real.

The difference is that in his dream, instead of thousands of ants, there are countless dancing phoenixes.

Countless divine phoenixes, as small as dust, soared in his breastbone and two arms, showing a miraculous demeanor in his bone marrow, bringing him unspeakable pain and torment.

Compared with the excruciating pain this time, the pain of Sun Bin wandering around with lightning to test his talent is nothing at all.

Perhaps it was the same, last time he was able to grit his teeth and hold on, but this time he fainted on the spot.

After an unknown amount of time, Pang Jian, whose high fever subsided, finally woke up faintly.

"Why did your kid suddenly get sick?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Pang Jian saw Zhou Qingchen, who was guarding him, sitting cross-legged on the ground, biting a piece of grass in his mouth, and grinning at him: "How do you feel now?"

Pang Jian tried to move his neck and arms, but found that his neck made a "clicking" sound, as if it had been stiff for a long time.

"Well!"

He twitched his eyebrows, feeling as if he had received the blessing of unknown divine power, his whole body was filled with inexhaustible strength, and his chest bones gave him a strange illusion that they were as hard as gold and iron.

When he swung his two arms, he felt that his arm bones had also been tempered, which was obviously different from before.

The body was full of weirdness, but it was inconvenient to talk to Zhou Qingchen, so he had to ask in a roundabout way: "Young Master Zhou, I heard that the third realm of practitioners is the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

When questioning, he thought of the strange picture of many divine phoenixes flying over his arm bones and bone marrow in his dream.

"Why do you know this? I haven't washed my marrow yet, so don't even think about it."

Zhou Qingchen laughed dumbfounded, and explained his doubts in detail: "The first stage of all of us's practice is Qi training, which needs to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the dantian spiritual sea. The stage of refining Qi is a process of accumulation, and the overall strength There is no qualitative improvement, and it is not much better than ordinary people who don't know how to practice."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "The Tongmai state is different."

"After reaching the Tongmai state, the spiritual power in the dantian can be poured into the tendons of our limbs. When the tendons are filled with spiritual power, the practitioner becomes infinitely powerful, and can also spread outward through the limbs, thus breaking out Amazing power."

He stretched out one hand, rolled up the cuff to reveal half of his forearm, and immediately exerted strength secretly.

Pang Jian clearly saw a dark red light flowing through the tendons of his forearm, all the way to the palm of his hand.

"Wow!"

A ball of crimson aura suddenly rose from his palm, and was skillfully controlled by him, slowly turning into a small crimson mountain.

With a casual slap, he used the illusory "Red Mountain" floating in the palm of his hand, and smashed it towards a huge rock next to him.

"Oh!"

The stone burst with a bang.

"This is the power of the Tongmai state."

Zhou Qingchen demonstrated calmly.

The movement he made attracted the attention of the Zhou and Ning families in the distance, including Shangguanqin.

"As for the marrow-washing state, it's called bone-cutting and marrow-washing, which focuses on refining the bones, flesh, and viscera. Those who have achieved the marrow-washing state often mean reborn and washed away the mortal body."

A little pride appeared in Zhou Qingchen's eyes, and he raised his head and said, "When I reach the Marrow Washing Realm, I will be able to wash away the impurities hidden in my flesh, muscles and bones, and it will not delay my practice in Hongshan."

He told Pang Jian that because the aura of the fourth realm is not pure enough, the qi refiners who practice in this realm will naturally retain dirty impurities in their bodies.

When he formally steps into Hongshan in the future, he will first break through the Marrow Washing Realm and complete his own rebirth.

"Wash the marrow, cut the bone and wash the marrow."

Pang Jian muttered thoughtfully in a low voice, feeling that when he was in a coma, some kind of mysterious power of unknown origin tempered his breastbone and hand bones.

He suspected it was the cluster of disappearing amber gleams, but he couldn't find conclusive evidence, and it was hard to ask Zhou Qingchen for advice.

It was already evening, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that it was about to fall into the night.

After having an in-depth conversation with Zhou Qingchen, Pang Jian looked around and saw the Ning family's war horses resting together.

The servants of the Zhou family are lighting a fire and cooking at the moment. Ning Yao and Ning Yuan Mountain are not far from the fire, but they still keep a certain distance from the Zhou family.

A estrangement has arisen, the two families of Zhou and Ning are no longer in harmony, and the two sides have begun to be wary of each other.

Han Duping, who was good at breaking formations, was busy harassing Shangguanqin with a playful smile, as if he couldn't see the boredom on her face.

Pang Jian stood up slowly, looked at the mountain behind him, and looked at the location where the sound of running water came from.

He saw a small waterfall hanging down from the mountain peak behind him, converging into a large pool with dark water.

The water of the Feiluo Waterfall is clear and transparent, but it turned black when it fell into the pool, which seemed a little strange.

In the pool near the mountain wall, there is a protruding...huge withered bone, without a trace of luster, but it surprised Pang Jian, and shouted: "Tianfeng remains?"

Zhou Qingchen nodded with a smile, and said, "Most of the bones have gone deep into the bottom of the pool, and only a part is exposed."

"When you were in a coma with a high fever, I checked carefully, and there is nothing magical about this dry bone. It is not the so-called divine bone with the inheritance of talent that all parties have searched hard for."

Zhou Qingchen had already decided in his heart that bones with the talent to inherit divine power would never appear in the Fourth Realm.

Pang Jian thought of the dead bone with the mysterious gleam inside, and thought that even if there is no inheritance from Tianfeng, every dead bone that falls from the sky also has some secrets hidden in it.

"You don't have to worry, we are very cautious this time, as long as there is another earthquake, we will evacuate as soon as possible."

Zhou Qingchen's mind was very relaxed, and he took it for granted that the changes surrounding the dry bones would still be accompanied by the roar of an earthquake.

"Black water? Black water pool!"

Pang Jian looked at the pool in the back, and after being stunned for a moment, his face became extremely heavy, and he suddenly shouted: "This place is not safe, you shouldn't camp here!"

He remembered!
This area with the black water pool was listed by his father as one of the restricted areas of the Cenji Mountains, and he was clearly told not to set foot in it.

He respectfully obeyed his father's instructions, and he hadn't gone deep into all the places his father had designated as restricted areas over the years.

Because he has a younger sister to take care of, he is unwilling to take risks, for fear that he will disappear like his father, and Pang Lin's life will usher in the darkest moment.

Pang Lin has not yet grown up and lost her father at a young age, and she must never lose him again.

"Is something wrong here?"

While Zhou Qingchen asked Pang Jian, he waved at Han Duping, telling Han Duping to stop stalking Shangguanqin.

Seeing Han Duping's eyes, he immediately shouted: "Old Han, tell everyone to prepare, we have to leave this place as soon as possible."

After the experience last time, now he trusts Pang Jian unconditionally and does what he says.

He and Pang Jian immediately walked towards the direction of the horse.

Ning Yao and Ning Yuanshan were still discussing in low voices whether to go to the extreme north, but they were suddenly nervous by their actions.

Shangguanqin also felt uneasy. Before Pang Jian came over, she left Han Duping and ran towards the bay red war horse.

However, before she came to the war horse, all the horses, including the bay red war horse, fell to the ground one by one, foaming at the mouth.

In the blink of an eye, all the war horses fell to the ground and died of the poison.

"Zhang Heng!"

Ning Yuanshan was furious, and roared towards the forest: "I asked you to feed the horse, what are you feeding?!"

"The person you recruited probably poisoned all the war horses on purpose." Han Du's face was dark, and he sensed something was wrong, and shouted: "He said that the water in the black pool is not clean, and he went to find water sources elsewhere. I think He should be looking for someone!"

"He poisoned the horse to prevent us from escaping calmly." Zhou Qingchen interrupted in a deep voice. .

The young master of the Zhou family, who was not too frightened, and Pang Jian came to the crowd, looked at the direction Zhang Heng left, and looked at the black pool behind him, and the tall and smooth rock wall.

Behind them, it is obviously impossible to become their retreat.

Although there were trees and messy withered grass in front of them, the terrain was quite open and they could evacuate in any direction.

"Our seven great families seldom tear themselves apart until there is no enviable treasure." As a genius of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingchen, who has enough status and confidence, is not afraid, and said coldly Said: "I want to see which one it is, dare to attack me, Zhou Qingchen!"

"As expected of the genius seed selected by Hongshan."

There was a hoarse and strange sound suddenly, and then someone riding a python emerged from the depths of the dry grass unhurriedly.

The boa constrictor as thick as a bucket has black and white patterns, the snake's letter is hesitant, and the snake's eyes are shining with a fierce green light.

The man riding the snake was wearing loose clothes with the same pattern as the python, with his hands tucked in the sleeves, he was as thin as a bamboo pole.

"Old man Hong Tai, he was also a member of Blood Moon in his early years, but unfortunately he was expelled from Blood Moon a hundred years ago. Hey, I can't stay in the upper realm, so I can only hang out in the lower realm." The snake rider smiled and announced his name.

"Sha! Shasha!"

After he appeared, many people without uniforms emerged from the waist-length weeds one after another.

Zhang Heng was actually among them.

"Hong Tai?"

"Hong Tai!"

Juniors like Zhou Qingchen and Ning Yao were unfamiliar with this name, and looked confused when they heard it.

Han Duping changed his color slightly, looked at Hong Tai who came riding a snake, and whispered to Zhou Qingchen: "He belongs to the dark ghost."

"Dark ghost?"

Pang Jian was at a loss.

When Zhou Qingchen, Ning Yao, and Ning Yuanshan heard that the person was from a dark ghost, their expressions suddenly became ugly.

In the Fourth Realm where they are located, the strongest sects and forces are naturally the Seven Great Families.

The seven major families and the sects in the upper realm all have more or less connections. They can be regarded as the official and orthodoxy of this realm, controlling the seven regions with the most abundant cultivation resources.

The seven major families have close contacts with each other, and the relationship is relatively harmonious on the surface, and endless conflicts rarely break out.

Dark ghosts are a force of practitioners who wander in the shadows and fringe lands outside of the seven major families.

The so-called dark ghosts refer to the lonely and wild ghosts in the dark depths.

The seven major families often jointly encircle and suppress dark ghosts, but this organization knows how to hide and escape. It has not been cleaned up so far, and it is still active in dark corners.

Who is the leader of the dark ghost and what level of cultivation it is, the seven major families have not figured out until now.

They only knew that the dark ghost leader had recruited some evil practitioners who couldn't get along in the upper realm, and provided them with a hiding place in the lower realm.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skeleton disintegrates, and the bones fall into all parts of the world. Since we dark ghosts have got the news, we naturally want to try our luck."

Hong Tai pointed to Zhang Heng, and introduced generously: "He is a member of my dark ghost, and he has been lurking in the Ning family for a long time. There are many dark ghost members like him in your seven big families, but you don't know it." .”

"Only at certain critical moments will they reveal their identities and do great things for us."

Hearing him bluntly say that there are still many people like Zhang Heng, Zhou Qingchen and others feel very heavy.

"Okay, let's not talk about gossip, let's get down to business first."

Hong Tai clapped his hands, stopped wasting time, and ordered with a smile: "Except for those two women, everyone else will be slaughtered, so don't leave me alive."
