Chapter 228: Oil Salamander Explanation, Cat and Mouse Path, Extermination of the Quincy (asking for monthly ticket)

Xu Shu glanced at Ji Yang who seemed a little crazy.

Oh, no one knows more about the seal than you?
That may not be the case.

The "scholar" of the Astronomical Society, the "mechanical expert" of the Research Institute, and the "orphan" of Taoism, these three professions all deal with the manufacture of curse seals, and they are specialized departments that officially produce curse seals.

Even further back, there was also the "female priest" like Xie Xiaochan who was related to Taoism. It was she who was asked to help make the "talisman" needed for Xu Shu's second-level spell.

But then again, Ji Yang's first-level profession, "Polluter", does deal with curses and is a more auxiliary profession.

And, it's also a little unique.

The difference between this profession and the other four is that in the first stage, the ability of this profession is very special. Its frontal combat capability can be said to be quite low, but it has a different ability - removing curses.

Their daily job is to help those extraordinary people who think they have accumulated enough strength and want to improve their potential, wash away the current curse and give them a chance to start over.

For example, a certain extraordinary person has ordinary qualifications, and the current curse seal he is receiving is of the green "excellent" level. Then his upper limit in this life is actually fixed, and the maximum is the second level, the full level 28, and he can't go any higher. In fact, he may not even reach level 28, and may be stuck at level 25 or 26, and it is difficult for him to move forward.

At this time, he can try to wash away the curse, remove all the second-level and first-level curse seals in his body, and start over.

As they have already had the experience of upgrading once, they can be said to have a bird's-eye view and be able to feed back to themselves. At this time, they have the opportunity to successfully contain a higher quality curse seal. For example, a blue or even purple flawless curse seal.

The risks of doing so are, of course, high.

After all, experience can be improved, but talent is something that you are born with or without, and it is almost impossible to acquire it later.

Even if you wash off the curse and strive for a higher quality, it may seem like you have gained experience, but in reality you are still in danger of death.

However, the practice of spell seals is a path full of blood and death, so this situation is normal.

Many people will fail on the road to the second asylum, but there are still people who are willing to take risks in order to improve themselves and appreciate the scenery at a higher level.

Striving for excellence and not fearing sacrifice are innate human nature.

In this way, the polluter is indeed inextricably linked to the curse.

If we have to make a comparison, professions like "scholar" and "orphan" are all "pre-sales" jobs, and they are responsible for the production and manufacturing of curses.

The "polluter" is responsible for "after-sales" - "if you buy the product and are not satisfied, you can return it" - that's the truth.

Ji Yang is indeed a person who deals with curses every day.

Very professional.

But won’t professionals make mistakes?

But not necessarily.

Just like now, Xu Shu’s explanation to Ji Yang about the theories of “external elixir”, “internal elixir” and “greasy senior sister” was completely confusing, and he had no idea what the hell he was talking about.

But at least one thing is certain, Ji Yang was wrong.

He was so confident and sure of victory that he thought Xu Shu should be "strengthless at this moment, as if all his extraordinary powers had left his body", right?
This is complete bullshit.

Xu Shu felt that he was now full of strength.

It's filled from top to bottom.

It's so full it's about to explode.

If the door wasn't closed, he would have wanted to go back and have another go at her.

No, ten rounds.

Maybe twenty rounds.

I really can’t hold it back anymore!

Fortunately, the door was closed and the person in front of me was an old man, which served as a reassurance.

In this kind of thing, Xu Shu doesn't mind if the other person is a monster, and even better if the other person is good-looking, and he can have fun without any responsibility, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. But his sexual orientation is still normal.

Let’s not talk about this for now.

So, what exactly are inner and outer elixirs?

According to Ji Yang, I was the so-called “external alchemy” and was on the wrong path;
So what is inner alchemy?

Why does it sound like there is something a bit like cultivating immortals in it?

Xu Shu was puzzled.

He collected his thoughts and put away the thoughts that he wanted to kill someone. He focused his gaze on the Taichu Scroll that was flashing and urging him to continue making a choice […], and the revolving lantern that had been paused in front of him immediately continued to flow.

[The way you squeeze your buttocks is hilarious. Although Ji Yang is pinned to the ground by you and cannot move, he seems to have the upper hand and the overall situation is in his control.]

[“I have fulfilled my promise. Now, it’s your turn to tell me what the outer and inner elixirs are, right?” You looked extremely weak, staring at Ji Yang.]

Ji Yang said with approval: "Very good, young man. You are also a person who is willing to take risks in pursuit of truth. I am very optimistic about you. Unfortunately, I won next."

[As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of blood mist suddenly erupted from his body, and blood was gushing out from every pore.]

[His body shrank and his bones protruded. In just a few breaths, he turned into a skin-and-bone corpse.]

[The spurted blood condensed into a new person, with a fat body and a cute appearance, just like Ji Bochang who had lost Ji Bo.]

[This is a body without any life breath at all. It is full of flesh and blood, and has plenty of fat, but it has no spirituality. It is basically just a warm corpse.]

[But then, the old mummy opened his mouth and spat out a bloody, green prismatic gem. It spun around and hit the center of Ji Bochang's forehead through the air, and then went in. ]

[“Huh, how is that possible?” Your eyes widened in surprise. Through your appraisal as a professional transcendent, you discovered that this gem is actually an erosion crystal, a green, high-quality, and second-level erosion crystal.]

[As the erosion crystals entered, every blood vessel in Ji Bochang's body lit up, and then he came back to life. No, it was not Ji Bochang, he was Ji Yang. He abandoned that old body and entered the special blood corpse that was condensed.]

[The new Ji Yang stood up, with a cold face, he silently groped inside his original old man's body, tore open his chest with his bare hands, revealing the still beating heart inside.]

[It was a special heart, covered with black mold, but one could vaguely see a little bit of spells coiled around it, and there was a thread that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, connecting to Xin Jiyang's forehead.]

[Ji Yang suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at the erosion crystal between his eyebrows and said: "Did you see it? This is called the inner elixir! This is the true path to godhood!"]

[After saying this, his aura suddenly surged again, no longer concealing it, revealing his true cultivation level, level 1.5—half of level , level cultivation level! ]

[He spreads his arms, laughs wildly, and shows you his achievements in front of you—a first-order 12th-level white curse seal on the chest of the old man Ji Yang, and a third-level second-order green erosion crystal between the eyebrows of the new Ji Yang, perfectly combined in the air, completing the transformation from point to line.]

[Although the line is a bit long and rough, they are indeed connected. ]

[The next thing that appears before you is a special extraordinary creature that allows you to combine the curse seal and the erosion crystal at the same time, but there is no conflict, but instead they are perfectly linked together——]

[Your contact is insufficient and the information is unknown. You can explore further and try to contact the other party to gain knowledge. ]

[Tip: Killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent will give you a chance to gain knowledge. Alternatively, you can try to have sex, which is the quickest way.]

Damn it?

Is there such a thing? Insufficient contact?

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.

He decisively rejected the third option and decided to wait a while before killing him, feeling quite surprised.

His weakness just now was fake, but this time his shock was really real.

What’s going on with this guy?
The curse seal and the erosion crystal are actually combined?
real or fake?

How is this done?
No wonder this guy dares to claim that “no one knows more about seals than me”. I thought he was bragging, but it turns out he is really capable!
[You are so shocked, it is amazing! ]

[Corrosion crystals and curse seals, the former is the core of the curse power in the monster's body, and the latter is the source of power for human transcendents. Although the two have something in common, and some means can be used to turn corrosion crystals into curse seals, in essence, they cannot coexist in an individual at the same time. 】

[And Ji Yang's operation is like letting a person have a penis and a sister at the same time. He broke the rule that "white cursed extraordinary people can only be promoted to level 1 at most" and created such a feat. He is truly a genius, although, in his current state, he can no longer be considered a human being. ]

[Moreover, he broke through your Eight Spider Lance blockade, escaped from the restraints, and gained freedom, just like a bird flying into the sky and a fish entering the sea, no longer bound. ]

[You rolled your eyes and suddenly started coughing loudly. You coughed, coughed, coughed, coughed. Unfortunately, you couldn't cough out the internal organs, but you had a strong will, and you made yourself cough out sour water all over the floor.]

[In the face of the other person's satisfied look, you weakly reveal a look of shock, you try your best to widen your eyes and puff up your mouth, making yourself look so shocked that your jaw has dropped.]

[“How did you do this? What on earth is going on?!” You screamed madly, perfectly showing the outward appearance of someone who suddenly collapsed due to the loss of powerful power.]

[Ji Yang slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, stood proudly with his hands behind his back and said: "It's very simple! Just choose the inner alchemy method! Do you know that the current direction of our human practice is actually the outer alchemy method, which is wrong, absolutely wrong!"]

[“Just like now, with just a little bit of the oil salamander’s blood, the curse in your body will be released, and you will completely lose your power!”]

[“Do you know what an oil salamander is? It’s just a mutated fish. They can’t even reach the first level. Such a weak creature can make a transcendent lose the power they rely on to survive, and directly turn from a transcendent into a mortal! How sad is that?”]

[“As for me, I won’t be afraid, because I have already switched to the inner alchemy method! The outer alchemy method is just an inferior method that uses external objects, while the inner alchemy method is the right way!”] [You suddenly realized: “Oh, I understand what you mean. So, the inner alchemy is what cannot be released by the oil salamander, and the outer alchemy is what can be released?”]

[“…What you said is not perfect, but it can be understood this way. In short, the current method of practicing the seal is wrong!”]

[“I have to thank that Quincy for telling me some theories, and I developed them and even went a step further, completing an unprecedented feat! Haha, you don’t have to look at me like that. What are Quincy? I won’t tell you this, because I only promised to answer you about the internal and external alchemy methods!”]

[“Look, when I practiced external alchemy, I was limited to the first level! But when I switched to internal alchemy, I not only broke through my own limits, but also broke through the limits of mankind! Look at this second-level erosion crystal, it’s so green and beautiful…”]

[Ji Yang was completely immersed in his theory. He seemed to have forgotten that his other self on the ground still needed the first-order curse to continue in his current state.]

Huh? The Quincy?

Xu Shu's eyes lit up.

He didn't need to ask this.

I had learned some of this when I met that “Esoteric Buddhist teacher” Wuxin before.

There are two factions in the mysterious organization "Star Society". One is the "Path Extinguisher" faction where Wuxin belongs, and the other is the "Quince" faction that she calls the wrong path.

However, Ji Yang's inner alchemy method doesn't seem normal no matter how you look at it?
Xu Shu touched his chin and continued asking.

[“So, how do you cultivate the inner elixir?” You asked the key question.]

[“Originally this is a secret that I cannot tell you, but you are already a mortal. I will send you off later. Since I have already promised you, I will let you be a ghost who knows everything.” Ji Yang said politely. ]

[“Yes, please tell me now. I am dying if I cannot know the secret!”]

[The more you show an uncomfortable and fanatical attitude, the more satisfied Ji Yang is. He said proudly: "It's actually very simple. You need imagination! You need to imagine that you have an upgrade drive and you need to imagine yourself using it. Then, you need to use a suitable second-order erosion crystal and slowly place it on your chest. Imagine that you are accepting it instead of swallowing it! In the end, let it complete the connection with you, and you will succeed! And you will create a second self!"]

[“How is it? Isn’t it amazing? Can you imagine that you have an upgrade drive?” Ji Yang stared at you. ]

[Your mouth twitches, thinking that it is wonderful, but what can I imagine? I have the upgrade drive myself, why should I imagine it? ]

[“Oh, so that’s how it is. I can just stuff the erosion crystals into my body and pretend that I’m containing them, right?” You said with a wry smile.]

[“Yes, that’s right!” Ji Yang nodded repeatedly.]

Seeing his reaction, Xu Shu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It seems that the so-called external and internal alchemy methods mentioned by this guy in front of him were told to him by that "Quince", and were not researched by him himself.

Moreover, Xu Shu strongly suspected that the original "Inner Alchemy Method" was definitely not what he said.

What does "imagine that you have an upgrade drive" mean? What does "don't devour, but contain a erosion crystal" mean?
According to this, where is your "inner elixir"?

Isn’t this still an external elixir?

However, Xu Shu guessed that Ji Yang was unable to complete the original inner alchemy method, so he had a sudden idea and messed around, and accidentally found a new method, and practiced this kind of half-human, half-monster model.

The real "inner alchemy method" must be much more advanced than his method, but unfortunately there is no way to know it.

As for where his strong opposition to the so-called external alchemy and his fanatical support for internal alchemy came from, it is almost imaginable that it is related to his own talent.

Although he has some brains, his talent is there, and the white first-level seal cannot deceive people. Logically, he will be stuck at the first level for the rest of his life.

I guess it was because of this that he had a knot in his heart, so he came up with this idea.

However, this person forgot one thing. A normal extraordinary person does not need to do this at all. He can also reach the second level, or even the third level or the fourth level through the means of spell sealing.

All we can say is that cats have their ways and mice have their ways.

The path of rats is harder than climbing to the sky.

[You sighed deeply, lamenting the hardships of people's lives. At this point, you already know enough information, and it seems that the other party is not ready to tell you more.]

[“Well, young man, you are a good young man, but unfortunately we have different ideals and cannot work together. I will send you off. On the way to the underworld, remember to talk to your companions and tell them that a great scientist named Ji Yang has opened up a truly extraordinary era!”]

[As he spoke, he raised the blood knife in his hand and was ready to cut you in two.]

[The next moment, in his ecstatic eyes, you slowly stretched out your hand with a strange expression, and raised a "iron wall" in front of you.]

[This iron wall is extremely solid, strong and indestructible! ]

[“Ah… why haven’t you been released yet? This is impossible. You clearly drank it all. This is for external use… How could this happen… Am I wrong again?” Ji Yang’s expression froze. He was struck by lightning and was completely dumbfounded. ]

[Lose your extraordinary power? No, you haven't. On the contrary, you even feel that you have been strengthened. It seems that all the oil salamanders have been absorbed by you and turned into sufficient power.]

[This is undoubtedly a short-term enhancement, because at the same time as you feel full inside, you also feel like you want to poop. This side effect is too obvious. You have been holding it in for a long time, and you feel like you can't hold it in any longer. ]

[Ji Yang couldn't hold it back any more than you did. He widened his eyes, and the arrogance he had just shown completely disappeared. He couldn't believe it, and muttered to himself, sometimes "contributing to the common people", sometimes "turning his back on the common people, and his name will be passed down through the ages", and other incomprehensible words.]

[You were too lazy to listen anymore, and you just started to strike with your knife. Ji Yang had an extremely strong desire to survive, and he fought with you.]

[However, he is only level 1.5, how can he be a match for your real level 2 master? ]

【After a few rounds, you killed him. 】

[A second-order erosion crystal fell to the ground, with three flocculent spirals inside, shining green.]

[As for the first-level curse, it dissipated in the body of the old man Ji Yang along with his death.]

[A genius of his generation, Breaking Bad, has fallen. You personally cut off a new era of humanity that could have been created. You didn't get to see a world where everyone is a sly person. It's really a pity. 】

[You killed Ji Yang, and you gained some knowledge. You immediately knew the source of the inner elixir he mentioned——]

[Yang Shen·Purging Filth: Ji Yu.]

[Friendly reminder: All Yang Gods with the suffix "七魂", regardless of their current quality, are extremely rare monsters. They have the characteristics of being able to evolve and fuse. They are hard to come by, so be sure to cherish them if you come across them. For example: Yang God·Corpse Dog]

Ok?
Xu Shu's eyes fixed.

Yangshen·Purification?

It is understandable that the Yang God, like the Yin God, has a suffix and is inseparable.

Moreover, from the friendly reminder, it can be seen that this thing is naturally similar to the former Yang God·Corpse Dog, Yin God·Desire Black Silk Goddess, etc., and can be used for Narrow-sleeved Guanyin to absorb and improve its rank.

But why is the source of this erosion crystal "Ji Yu?"

Isn’t this old man’s pseudonym Ji Bochang and his real name Ji Yang?

Could it be that he is actually a woman disguised as a man, and his real name is Ji Yu?
So are we going to absorb him later?
Looking at the dried corpse of an old man and a fat man on the ground, Xu Shu touched the narrow-sleeved Guanyin around his waist. Although he found it a little hard to accept, he still felt that improving his strength was more important.

Wait, no, there is another possibility...

[You have just overcome your psychological barriers and are ready to absorb a man, but suddenly you have an idea and think of another possibility.]

[You turn the wheel again, open the air raid door, and walk into the secret room.]

[Oops, you found me! ]

[It turns out that the "lioness" girl you just raped is the real Yang God·Purifier! ]

[And her younger brother is a demon chosen by God: Nurgle! ]

[This monster is a combination of Nurgle and Purifier, and originally possessed a second-order status. Unfortunately, when it was about to succeed, Ji Yang, who was blinded by greed, took away the second-order erosion crystal that originally belonged to his daughter Ji Yu.]

[Thank him well, otherwise you might not have won this battle so easily. ]

[“Sir, my, daddy…what did you do to him…” The girl named Ji Yu, who was once a human but has now been turned into a combination of monsters, looks at you timidly. ]

[She has a special feeling for you. After all, it was you who took her real money. You laughed and were about to say, "Little sister, you will be with me from now on and have a good life." Then you wanted to take her into your pocket and completely subdue her.]

[But at this moment, something strange happened, and you felt an invisible net suddenly covering you, making it difficult for you to move.]

[At the same time, crackling sonic booms sounded in the air, constantly whipping your flesh, as if trying to tear you apart.]

[You were attacked by surprise, from the abilities of "Prisoner", "Cage" and "Whip"! ]

[The prisoner is a second-level extraordinary person with very strong strength. You have met him before. Now that you meet him again, you immediately think of who he is—the helper mentioned by Ji Yang, a member of the Salvation Army.]

[You were powerless to break free before, but now, you are not afraid at all. ]

[You are also a second-level person, what are you afraid of? ]

[Faced with the black shadow swimming quickly outside, you laughed and wanted to fight back. This is a trivial trick. You can easily resolve it by just using Jingwei Filling the Sea. It's really not worth mentioning. ]

【Just then, you suddenly feel a pain in your stomach and ejaculate. 】
