Chapter 88 Strange stones in space, speculation on spiritual bodies

The stove set up in the open space was already on fire, the wood was burning cracklingly, and from time to time a few tongues of flame came out from the stove mouth.

As the firewood was being turned over, the burning heat blew up sparks and ashes, flying straight into the face of the woodburner.

Butcher Zheng was cutting up the red deer, surrounded by many onlookers, who were discussing the quality of the meat and the cooking method.

The child stood beside the adult's legs, drooling, looking up at the red and tender meat, and his stomach growled.

There are also people who go to the river to carry water and wash pots, and are busy doing many chores.

The progress of the banquet is constantly advancing.

The crowd today is not as enthusiastic and excited as yesterday.

Chen Lin was alone.

Although there were glances from time to time, at least no one came to disturb me.

He was still holding the "strange stone" that Uncle Xiang mentioned just now.

This stone is obviously not ordinary.

Uncle Xiang's story may be right, there must be something strange about it.

"The patterns on the surface are natural spiritual patterns. Although they are similar to rune patterns, in essence they are because both sides can mobilize the power of heaven and earth."

"As for the inner structure..."

Chen Lin closed his eyes and tested with magic power.

In an instant, a void space appeared in the perception.

A broken table, a few stones, a ball of mud...

brush!
  The moment he sensed this strange scene, he immediately withdrew his magic power and looked strange.

After thinking carefully for a while, he released his magic power again.

Soon, the scene I just saw appeared in my perception again...

It's not like he just had a delusion.

Obviously this stone itself is special!
  Chen Lin was stunned for a while, stroking the spiritual patterns on the outside of the stone, and gradually came to a guess:

"These lines seem to be some kind of innate space spiritual patterns. The space just perceived was constructed by these spiritual patterns in the stone?"

"Moreover, this space will also absorb spiritual energy on its own. Every time the spiritual energy is absorbed to a certain extent, it will probably open the door automatically and swallow anything that comes into contact with the stone..."

That’s how the legend of eating from stones came about.

This stone is equivalent to a storage bag.

And the space inside is quite small.

From the perspective of perception, it is almost equivalent to a small room.

It's bigger than the gray wolf storage bag he had in the world of immortality.

"But, it seems like it's more than that..."

Chen Lin continued to explore and soon made another discovery.

Whenever his mana circulates in the void space and touches the boundary of the space, there will always be mysterious spiritual patterns flashing past, leaving traces behind.

The mana seemed to intersect with those spiritual patterns, and was vaguely consumed by part of it.

Besides.

Tables and other objects that had been accidentally sucked into the space were now also in dilapidated condition, and their shape could only be barely recognized.

It seems to be caused by being consumed by spiritual patterns.

"So, is it possible that this rock is really eating?"

Chen Lin observed the black stone spirit pattern and once again used his magic power to study and comprehend it carefully.

It looks like he is sleeping with a stone in his arms.

The mana in the body poured into the black stone one after another, constantly bombarding the boundaries of the space, causing the special spiritual patterns that constructed this natural space to appear.

It lasted until noon.

He opened his eyes again and rubbed his swollen head:
  "Preliminary confirmation shows that the space inside the stone seems to be still growing, and the absorbed spiritual energy and mana have basically filled that space."

"The black stone can indeed be used as a storage bag, and the space inside can be opened using mana or spiritual energy.

But just like what I thought, once the items are left for too long, the items will be slowly eaten by the spiritual patterns and become nutrients for expanding the space. "

"Besides, the stone doesn't respond to pure vitality."

"So ordinary warriors can't sense the strangeness of this stone at all..."

Chen Lin was playing with the black stone in his hand.

He was certain that when placed in front of a martial artist, this stone would be no different from an ordinary stone.

At least you have to reach the Qi realm, or even a higher realm, and the vitality has transformed before you can use this stone.

Just like the bark of the lamp oil tree before.

It's not that the things are useless, it's just that the martial artists haven't found a way to use them.

But this is not difficult for monks.

rustle~
  There were footsteps.

It was also accompanied by a hesitant greeting:

"Master Lin?"

Chen Lin looked up.

The person who came was Fan Yoshi, who looked at him with a strange yet familiar look.

He stood up, patted the dirt on his body, put away the stone in his hand, and said hello with a smile:
  "Master Shi."

"You can't call me that now, just call me Yoshi." Fan Yoshi looked flattered and sighed in his tone.

"Then you can just call me Ah Lin. We are all friends."

"This……"

Fan Yoshi hesitated for a moment, then changed his words: "Brother Lin?"

"That's alright," Chen Lin smiled and nodded, "At least he doesn't sound old."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Fan Yishi looked at Chen Lin, sighing in his heart.

Not long ago, when Ju Sword Sanren Zhao Kuaishou was setting up a signboard in the inner city, he took the rising star of this mountain city to see it.

At that time, he still felt that he had an obligation to take good care of this little brother.

Who would have thought that the other party would destroy a martial arts gym in the blink of an eye.

Now, he seems to be the pillar of Shanshi City.

It is completely different from the reputation of the mountain city that I earned through hunting...

I felt emotional in my heart.

Fan Yishi calmed down and got to the point:

"Brother Lin, have you ever heard of Wuxiang Boxing Gym?"

"Huh?" Chen Lin gave him a strange look, "Of course I've heard of it. Isn't this the martial arts school where you apprenticed?"

Fan Yishi smiled and said:

"Actually, our host also saw you from a distance at the pier yesterday. Today he asked me to send you a message, saying that he wanted to get to know you."

Qi realm warrior wants to see him?
  Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then agreed.

If he remembered correctly, the previous owner of the gym explained Qi realm cultivation to his disciples on the inner city wall, and even took a lesson himself.

"Just promise!"

"Master will be waiting for you in the martial arts hall throughout the afternoon tomorrow."

After completing the tasks assigned by the martial arts school, Fan Yoshi was obviously much more relaxed.

During the greetings, I couldn’t help but tell Chen Lin about the situation in the inner city yesterday:
  "I'm afraid Brother Lin doesn't know that from last night to today, people in all the martial arts schools in the inner city are discussing what kind of treasure you ate to be so powerful..."

Chen Lin's life experience is very innocent, and it will be clear after an investigation.

The son of a bad gambler, he worked as a woodcutter and a snake catcher, and he had never learned martial arts before.

To be able to suddenly become a powerful martial artist must have been something he ate in the mountains.

And there are indeed some rare treasures in Xiaojin Mountain.

In the county's history of more than a hundred years, this is not the first time something like this has happened, but every time it happens, the martial arts masters can crush their teeth with envy.

They have worked hard for ten years to practice fists, kicks, swords and guns, but the result is not as good as some mountain woodcutter's luck...

Fan Yishi vividly brings to life the envy and jealousy of those apprentices in inner-city martial arts schools.

Not only the martial arts master thinks so, but the entire county now has the same idea.

Chen Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard this:
  "My guess is correct. I have indeed encountered rare treasures."

The ghost-toothed pig he ate before was considered one of the rare treasures, but he didn't rely on it to gain energy at all.

But there is no need to point this out clearly.

Naturally, Fan Yoshi didn't know the deeper meaning of his words. He sat on the ground leaning against a tree trunk and couldn't help sighing with envy.

Chatted for a while.

Fan Yishi took advantage of the situation and hoped that Chen Lin could help him adjust his stance.

Entering martial arts masters are more sensitive to the strength of their vitality. Sometimes, they only need a slight contact with their vitality to sense whether the vitality of others is in place when they are standing.

In this aspect, Chen Lin is only stronger than ordinary martial arts masters.

Fan Yishi lowered his waist and sat on the horse, standing up to the five-shaped boxing gym's stance, and the heat quickly became boiling. Behind him, Chen Lin felt a slight force and began to sense the movement of the vitality in his body.

But the strength has just entered the body.

Chen Lin felt something was wrong.

Because, in his perception.

Fan Yoshi's body was like a piece of spiritual energy, with no trace of spiritual energy absorbed into his body.

"Even if ordinary people don't practice, they still have free spiritual energy in their bodies, so in places with abundant spiritual energy, even mortals can live a hundred years..."

"But, what is it like if you haven't absorbed any spiritual energy in your body?"

Chen Lin was a little confused.

However, he soon discovered that Fan Yoshi's vitality could be mobilized throughout the body normally.

It doesn't look like he has a special constitution at all.

……

……

Until the big banquet.

When Chen Lin and Mr. Zhang sat at the main table to eat, he was still thinking about what happened to Fan Yoshi just now.

'Except for the fact that there are no traces of spiritual energy, there is nothing abnormal about Fan Yoshi's body, and his vitality is even quite abundant. '

'Could it be that I am the only one in this world who can absorb spiritual energy with an ordinary person's physique? '

Everyone was clinking wine glasses at the banquet in a lively scene.

This idea suddenly came to Chen Lin's mind.

He had wondered before why this world also had spiritual energy, but it ended up developing martial arts.

At first he thought it was the inertia of development.

If one person walks out on the path of martial arts first, the people behind him will continue on.

Now it seems that if ordinary people in the martial arts world have difficulty breathing in, or even cannot absorb spiritual energy at all.

Everything is easily explained.

People in this world can only begin to breathe out spiritual energy and strengthen their own Yuanhai by practicing martial arts to the advanced level.

When he was in the world of cultivating immortals before, after entering the spirit, he felt the spiritual energy gradually being sucked into the Yuan Hai...

Various speculations in my mind.

By the time the banquet ended, it was almost dusk.

There is no time to go into Jubaoshan to find Lao Niu.

Chen Lin simply conducted a second test in the name of teaching Xiaoluobo how to stand.

The results were as expected.

Xiaoluobo's body also cannot sense spiritual energy, nor can it absorb spiritual energy from nature.

Only when food containing spiritual energy is eaten into the stomach can it be absorbed by the body.

Once you get here, you can basically be sure.

"Am I really the only one in this world who can directly practice immortal skills?"

Chen Lin thought of the cultivation qualifications mentioned by Master Chunmu before.

At that time, he was sure that his body in the martial arts world must be a spirit body, but he didn't know what kind of spirit body it was and what was so special about it.

Now it seems……

"Being able to cultivate immortality in a world where it is impossible to cultivate immortality is not the special feature of my spiritual body, right?"

Early the next morning.

Chen Lin, who had been thinking all night, entered Jubaoshan again.

The old cow was still lying in his hole.

After hearing his voice, the huge body came out with a worried look.

It seemed that he was afraid that Chen Lin would drag him to find those two flying tigers again.

As soon as he saw its look, Chen Lin couldn't help but take several pictures of the cow's head:

"You still have the nerve to mention this matter, and it's not your fault!"

"If you had been smarter, would I have misjudged it before?"

"Moo!"

"I don't understand what you are saying... Forget it, don't mention it anymore, just let me know."

"Moo?"

Chen Lin tapped Lao Niu's thunder horn, and then pointed to the stone in front.

Lao Niu tilted his head and seemed to understand, but he just refused to let go.

Chen Lin silently took out the talisman he had prepared for the flying tiger.

"Moo!"

Crack!

A dazzling bolt of thunder suddenly flew out from the horns of the bull and struck the boulder in front of him, instantly exploding into dust.

Chen Lin stepped forward to observe carefully.

There was a little bit of electric light remaining on the charred stone powder, like iron needles, which was particularly pricking.

Even if he protected his palm with mana, he could still feel the burning sensation hidden in the electric light, which was violent and disorderly.

It is basically consistent with the characteristics of fire and thunder described in "Xiao Wu Lei Dharmakaya".

"Come on, discharge electricity into my hand, make it less powerful!"

Chen Lin held the magic formula in his hand, and the magic power formed a small red net.

This is the method of collecting thunder seeds in the art of Dharmakaya for preliminary body refining.

Start with weak thunder seeds, and then slowly increase them.

This is the correct way to train your body.

If you let Lao Niu hit you with a thunderbolt at the beginning, that wouldn't be called body training, that would be courting death.

"Moo moo."

The old cow snorted twice, pressed its thunder horn against the snare in Chen Lin's hand, and slowly released the fire thunder.

laugh--

The red thunder net slowly wrapped the thunder and lightning emerging from the tip of the horn into a round thunder bead.

After it was completely formed, the magic net shrank into a seal and was imprinted on the surface of the bead.

Chen Lin patted the old cow.

Old Newton took his head back and lay down a little sluggishly, his mouth wide open, and he was breathing heavily.

"Great Niu Niu!" Chen Lin was quite satisfied with Lao Niu's cooperation and took out the black stone from his arms.

Then he took out a clay pot with a blue water stone in it.

"Here, take a few drops of spiritual fluid to replenish your health."

Cut off the top of the blue water stone and feed it into the mouth of the old cow.

The moment the spiritual fluid entered his mouth, the big guy knelt down with a look of enjoyment on his face, closed his eyes and savored the taste in his mouth, showing no sign of his reluctance just now.

Chen Lin sat aside and carefully observed the Fire Thunder Bead in his hand.

The compressed and solid beads feel very elastic, as if they will burst if you pinch them lightly.

Under the sealing spell, the lightning stored inside is still flashing, and sometimes a cold flame can be seen rising in the middle of the bead.

According to what Dharmakaya says.

The first stage is to draw lightning into the body, using magic power to bring the thunder and lightning into the body to cleanse the impurities around the body.

Then there is the blending of fire and thunder to refine the source of thunder.

The last thing is to build the thunder body.

Chen Lin maintained his cross-sitting posture, held the magic formula in his hand, and began the first stage of drawing thunder into his body.

There is nothing difficult about this stage.

In addition to cleansing impurities, it mainly cultivates the affinity between the body and fire and thunder.

Chi Lie's mana merged into the Fire Thunder Bead, enveloping wisps of thunder and lightning, and then quickly swam back into the body.

"Crack~"

Electric light appears on the body surface.

At first there were only a few wisps occasionally, but as the thunder in the fire and thunder beads quickly subsided.

The thunder and lightning emerging from Chen Lin's body became more and more obvious.

The sound is getting louder and louder.

The old cow beside him suddenly woke up from his intoxication and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

Especially the lightning that kept jumping on Chen Lin's body made his eyes go straight.

"Moo?"

　Starting tomorrow, it will be 6,000 per day, and my head hasn’t recovered yet.
