Devour legacy

('The morning sun rises, the cold mist clears away;

In the warm sunshine, the bleak Qingping County started a day of hustle and bustle; while the magnificent and luxurious Cheng's Beppu in the center of the county is still deserted and chilling;

In front of the gate of the Beppu hall, Cheng Guiyun stood quietly on the spot without saying a word, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his steady breathing, but all the servants of the Cheng family in the hall lowered their heads dare not breathe

"My lord!"

At this moment, a black shadow flashed outside the hall, and I saw the slave who gave the surname knelt on one knee and said in a low voice: "I didn't find any rebellion in the Leng family! Leng Zhengyuan was seriously injured, and Leng Yi disappeared. What the slaves said has been verified!"

"Patriarch, there is no trace of the demon in Qingping County. He should have nothing to do with the Leng family;"

"Besides, the demon's cultivation level is not high, and he took away a trash's house. It seems that his vision is average, and he can rule out his relationship with that person;" an elder of the Cheng family with gray temples came and said in a low voice;

"Yeah;" Cheng Guiyun pressed lightly, then glanced at Cheng Luo who was on the stretcher outside the door with a face full of horror until death, waved his hand lightly and said indifferently:

"Carry it down, and throw it away at random; a lowly slave who doesn't know how to measure will only cause trouble for the old man;"

"Patriarch;" the elder said in a low voice, "that demon just killed Cheng Luo, but did not kill anyone else, and he has not prevented me, Mrs. Cheng, from recovering the debt of the Leng family. love, and then..."

"Well, he has drawn the bottom line;"

"It seems that the old man traveled thousands of miles for a waste, and it is not without a little gain;"

Cheng Guiyun nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "I won't go back to Fucheng for now, today I will offer bonuses to various branches of Xichuan, I want to see—"

Cheng Guiyun suddenly changed the topic, raised his eyes to look at the rising sun, and a fierce and fierce light flashed in his eyes!

"Who is this Xichuan, dare to draw out for the old man—"

"Bottom! Line!"

The golden morning sun shone on the desolate wild ridge, and before a cold stream, Leng Yi stopped, leaned down with difficulty, buried his face in the stream, and gulped it down like a cow;

"call……"

After the icy stream water poured into his parched stomach, Leng Yi let out a long and comfortable sigh of relief, then took out two cracked steamed buns from the package and devoured them voraciously!

Throughout the whole night, Leng Yi dragged his seriously injured body westward, westward, and westward amidst the old dragon's scolding and ridicule from time to time; Full of rugged mountain roads...

At first, Leng Yi was full of grievances and grief, but gradually, he seemed to understand what the word "protection" by Lao Long meant;

"Stop! It's pretty clean here;"

The old dragon's voice sounded again, but it was no longer full of impatience and sharpness like yesterday, and seemed to be slightly satisfied with Leng Yi's performance that night;

"Now let me tell you about the old man's plan; today, the old man will officially teach you "The Tactic of Devouring", and then upgrade your bloodline..."

"You seem to have forgotten that my meridians have been abolished..." Leng Yi said indifferently while gnawing on a steamed bun;

The meridians and collaterals all over the body are completely abolished, not only the internal strength is lost, but the brain power will also decline if it goes on for a long time.

Leng Yi never dared to forget the great gift "bestowed" by Cheng Guiyun, but there was a deal, he was not very worried, but now the old dragon didn't mention it;

"Stupid!" The old dragon snorted coldly with disdain; "The meridian is an invisible thing. If there is a person, the meridian is there. If the meridian is really abolished, you will die a long time ago!"

"The so-called abolishment of the meridian is nothing more than blocking it with external force, causing the flow of qi and blood to be blocked! Don't worry, the vitality that Cheng Guiyun has injected into your body has already been taken away by you!"

Leng Yi frowned when he heard the words, he used his internal energy half-believingly, but found that the internal energy was running smoothly and his martial arts were intact, so he was relieved;

Under the guidance of the old dragon, Leng Yi found a small cave not far from the creek; after he limped to clean up the cave and covered it with withered grass to keep out the cold, it was already sunset;

"First of all, this old man will give you a complete explanation of what is "The Tactic of Devouring";" After Leng Yi sat down cross-legged, the old dragon said;

"The first realm of "The Tactic of Devouring": the realm of seizing characters..."

Since Leng Yi had already accepted the deal, Lao Long unreservedly explained the true meaning of "The Tactic of Devouring";

However, although Leng Yi has already been mentally prepared, he is still cold in the process of studying, not only is his heart full of fierce struggles, but even mixed with more and more entanglements and pains!

To take away the other is more than enough, to make up for my incompleteness; to hurt oneself and others, to die for a lifetime!

Robbing the fruits of blood and tears from others makes one's own strength leap forward; however, the law of heaven is balanced, and practitioners have to pay a very tragic price for this.

Using the superficial meaning of the sixteen-character general outline, the old dragon cruelly showed the young man a road of blood and tears full of darkness and desolation!

This is evil...

Once you enter the evil way, you will never return;

No matter how desperate and painful the cultivator stepped into this path at the beginning, he will gradually get lost in the huge temptation, sinking deeper and deeper, until he is beyond redemption!

"This method is too cruel, it hurts the harmony of nature! I don't want to teach you this method! But, your useless blood can only do this!"

The old dragon continued to say in a deep voice: "If you follow your original calculation, one side learns art, all directions learn from teachers, and follow the legendary path of cultivation, you will never be able to defeat Cheng Guiyun in ten lifetimes;"

"Um……"

Leng Yi just hummed lightly. Although he was full of resentment towards the old dragon, he knew very well that his blood had little hope of achieving success in the righteous way;

Under the bloody setting sun, the stern cold wind blew the boy's withered long hair, and quietly left a trace of vicissitudes in the delicate eyes; but more, it was helpless and bitter...

"The so-called 'take away what is more than enough, make up for what is missing', its deep meaning is to use extremely cruel means to forcibly deprive the power of blood from other people's blood, so as to explode the shackles of one's own blood and release the hidden potential..." the old dragon said very slowly;

The power of the bloodline is a kind of original bloodline power obtained by the monks of Lanchuan mainland after developing the potential of the bloodline through the cultivation method, and it is the basis of the monk's cultivation base;

Generally speaking, the higher the bloodline grade, the greater the potential of the bloodline, and the stronger the power of the developed bloodline; if this power can be well utilized, the monk's cultivation base will be higher;

And Leng Yi wanted to snatch this original power to make up for the extremely inferior defect of his own bloodline;

The stronger the power seized, the more effectively it can make up for the defect;

"The so-called 'hurting oneself and others, nine deaths for a lifetime', its deep meaning is to burn one's own life essence, and then perform the method of taking away the devouring;" the old dragon continued to explain;

"Is that the day you recited 'sacrifice my ten years of life'?" Leng Yi's cheeks twitched slightly, and he tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body and said in a low voice;

He finally understood why the old dragon said at the beginning that this tactic must be practiced by young people...

"That's right;" the old dragon affirmed, "You must have the power to surpass the opponent in order to successfully seize the bite;"

"This is also the price you pay for gaining ten times more power than yourself; if you indulge in this power and use too much, you will be consumed to death, which is another meaning of a nine-death life; and—"

The old dragon paused suddenly, and then said very slowly:

"In the process of taking the bite, not only do you have to burn your life essence, but you also have to bear the impact and backlash from the power of other people's blood; the whole process is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your soul..."

"This means hurting yourself first, and then hurting others; hurting others hard, hurting yourself deeply!"

"However, in addition to testing the limit of your body strength, this old man also tested the limit of your blood power. Before your cultivation level breaks away from the 'bottom cultivator', that is, before you reach the seventh level of body tempering, no matter how much life you burn How many times there are, ten times is already the limit;”

"clear;"

Leng Yi nodded numbly, his tense body was already stiff and cold, and his always strong heart was full of painful struggle——

There is not only an extreme desire for power, but also a deep fear of the future!

"Okay!" The old dragon resumed his usual seriousness and said in a deep voice: "You already understand the outline, let's start practicing now;"

"Remember! You only have three chances to practice at most, so take advantage of it yourself!"

three times……

A trace of sadness flashed in Leng Yi's eyes; he didn't say anything, he just bit his lips, tried his best to calm himself down, then stood up, and began to familiarize himself with specific movements under the guidance of the old dragon...

The principle and execution method of "Bitter Art" is very simple, Leng Yi has comprehended the key after doing it a few times;

However, all skills in the world have the same quality and the same principle, and any skill cannot be separated from the word "practice";

Cultivation formulas are the same as martial arts secrets, brain comprehension is one thing; but the body can really do it, but it needs thousands of times of practice and countless corrections to truly master it;

However, Leng Yi only had three chances to practice!

Because every time the "Bitter Art" is used, at least three years of lifespan must be sacrificed; moreover, when the bloodline is upgraded, in order to minimize the variables, at least seven years of lifespan will be required, plus that day at Leng's house... …

Nearly 30 years... This is still the bottom line Shouyuan who has mastered three times and successfully upgraded once!

If you are not careful...

"Nine Deaths" is so tragic and cruel!

Sunrise and sunset, time goes by, more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the land of Xichuan has already entered the bitter cold winter;

For more than two months, Leng Yi has lived a life of asceticism; when thirsty, he lay down by the stream and drank it vigorously; when he was hungry, he picked berries and caught birds. Obsessed with practice;

Because there is no way out, he is more cautious. Every move, every luck, Leng Yi has to evolve hundreds of thousands of times in his mind, and dare not make it until he has enough confidence;

However, apart from the physical suffering, Leng Yi also has to endure the inner torture all the time...

Although the target of the attack must be the heinous person who has never been short in this world;

but……

Cheng Luo's tragic death flashed clearly in Leng Yi's mind from time to time!

In this way, the boy spent nearly a hundred long and torturous days and nights, until another evening when the setting sun was like blood...

"How do you feel?" The old dragon's long-lost voice sounded slowly;

"Yes, when are we going?" Leng Yi said in a deep voice, his eyes were full of firmness and confidence, but it was hard to hide the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes;

"That's good;" the old dragon just responded lightly, and then saw a ball of white light flying out from the cave of Lengyi Yintang, and an exquisite and simple jade box appeared on the rock in front of him;

"My family's 'history'!"

Looking at the jade box, Leng Yi frowned, he always thought that the old dragon took this thing just to get rid of petty thoughts in the dark, and the rest was kept for Leng Yi temporarily;

Leng Yi didn't think that the old dragon would care about the baby lump of the small family of Leng's family;

But, what does upgrading the bloodline have to do with this? ');
