Chapter 100 Refining Bitter Grass
"Lead me the way!"

Yingzhao stretched out his hand and threw Chen Yao hard in front of him, shouting loudly with his unique sharp voice.

"Uh……!"

Chen Yao was in great pain. The bitter weed that had just been shrunk by Yingzhao's evil spirit was shot into Chen Yao's body. An unprecedented sense of extreme bitterness rose in Chen Yao's body, accompanied by a strong burning sensation. Burning, almost corroded all of Chen Yao's internal organs.

"huhuhuhu"

The bitterness and strong alkalinity in the bitter grass kept burning Chen Yao's body, making him in unbearable pain, almost rolling on the spot, howling in pain.

"pump"

With the warm body as the soil, the bitter grass began to grow wildly in Chen Yao's body, constantly pulling out new grass leaves, and soon filled Chen Yao's body.The unspeakable pain made Chen Yao's life worse than death, and the immortal energy in his body became the nutrient of bitter grass, which was continuously sucked and refined, and soon bottomed out.

"If this continues, I will be refined by the bitter grass!"

In a trance, Chen Yao had this terrible idea in his heart. Since ancient times, in most cases, monks have refined the best elixir, and used it as an aid in their own practice to climb the peak of the road to immortality.But because the spirit grass is too powerful, the monks themselves are not strong enough, and it is not the case that there are monks who have been refined by the elixir!
"pump"

The bitter grass is growing amazingly, and it is about to break out of Chen Yao's body. If this continues, Chen Yao will become the "flowerpot" of this bitter grass, and he will become a nutrient, which will be refined by the bitter grass!
"You bastard, lead the way!"

Yingzhao also saw that Chen Yao was in great pain, obviously not as strong as what he said in a big breath just now, and naturally he had no fear, so he strode forward, picked up Chen Yao with one hand, and walked towards the outside of the cave with his horseshoe .

"Tap Tap"

In a trance, Chen Yao heard that Yingzhao stopped, and said as if talking to someone: "I caught the intruder, let me go out and settle accounts with those old guys, the restriction is lifted!"

"Bah"

There was a faint sound of immortal energy, and a wave of demon energy rippled. As if the restraint really seemed to understand Yingzhao's words, it opened an exit, just enough for Yingzhao and Chen Yao to leave.

"It turns out that this is a two-way restriction. Yingzhao can control the inside and let people from the outside enter, but he cannot control the outside restriction. He has no way to open the restriction and go outside!"

It was only then that Chen Yao fully understood the working principle of the restriction. At this time, he became the key to unlock the reverse restriction in Ying Zhao's hands, helping the ancient monster to break through and leave this place!

"That's what the key on the painting means. It's really a miscalculation..."

Chen Yao's consciousness had already begun to blur, he gave a self-deprecating wry smile, then closed his eyes, and passed out.

"Oh~ so it is~"

Just when Chen Yao was about to lose consciousness completely, that greasy voice suddenly sounded.

"It turns out that there is a reverse restriction here. If we hadn't encountered Yingzhao, we would have been hit by it, and we would be locked in this boundless darkness forever~!"

The grumbling of the Fat Immortal awakened Chen Yao, and the latter whispered in his head angrily: "You fat man, I'm about to die, why are you not in a hurry? Could it be that you want to change the host and go to Yingzhao?" body?"

"Hehehehe~" Fat Immortal laughed a few times in his signature manner, and replied in the same angry way: "Boy, don't get cheap and act like a good boy. You have great luck, and you will have a breakthrough!"

"This bitter weed in your body probably has a spiritual energy of tens of thousands of years. Generally speaking, such a long-lived plant will definitely become a demon, disrupt the world, and become the overlord of a party."

The fat fairy shook his chubby head in front of Chen Yao, and said meanly:
"However, this bitter weed is too unlucky. If I stayed by that Xu's side all the time, I'm afraid it would have turned into a demon, but I was caught by this eccentric Yingzhao and brought it to such a ghostly place." .”

"Yingzhao is an ancient monster. I don't know how many thousands of years of cultivation and practice. It is no problem to suppress this bitter weed with a little spiritual energy. So this bitter weed has been cultivated for tens of thousands of years, but it has not yet produced a mind. At best It’s just a spiritual herb with the demonic aura of a tens of thousands of years old monster!”

"If my judgment is correct, there must be a lot of aura and demon energy inside this bitter grass. You'd better hurry up and refine it, and there will definitely be another breakthrough!"

Fat Immortal's words sound very reasonable, but Chen Yao is already half dead at this time, how can he still have the slightest strength to refine the bitter grass?I could only smile wryly to myself: "It's easy for you to say, but this bitter grass is so strong that I can't bear it at all. If there is a ten-year or eight-year period, it's okay, but now that Yingzhao is holding it like this, it will kill me at any time." If you die, how can you have a chance to refine it?"

"Cut, boy and I still pretend to be garlic~?"

The fat immortal smiled disdainfully, and said with an expression of "you know, I know, heaven and earth know": "Just how you cracked the relic mentality, how to refine the bitter grass!"

"Yup!"

Fat Immortal's words awakened the dreamer, and Chen Yao was sobered up.

Just now in the crystal channel, when facing the ghost that came out of the green ghost ice soul, Chen Yao recited the magic word formula, and his consciousness flew away. It seemed as long as a year in a flash, so he cracked the relic mental method.

Although the details of the current situation are different, the general direction is similar. As long as there is enough time and the astonishing growth of bitter grass is curbed, Chen Yao can indeed slowly refine it, regardless of the limitations of space and time!
"You fat man, it's quite useful at critical times."

Chen Yao smiled weakly, thanking Fat Immortal, and before Fat Immortal said "I'm not fat but not thin", he quickly recited the magic word formula.

"call……!"

A gust of wind blew, and when it reached Chen Yao's side, it suddenly stopped.As the wind force ceased, Chen Yao's consciousness left his body again, and he galloped in an infinite moment!
Although he has entered this wonderful time and space several times, Chen Yao still feels very fresh every time he opens the door to this momentary eternity through the Magic Character Jue.

"Huh... You must resist the pain, not be controlled by the pain. You must get used to the pain, and you must not be driven by the pain. You must have no distracting thoughts, and the five senses and six sense organs cannot control me, Chen Yao!"

Chen Yao closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, and escaped into the ethereal realm with all his body and mind. With the experience of cracking the relic mentality last time, he went very smoothly this time, and he managed to eliminate all distracting thoughts without much effort. Quickly escape into the state of ecstasy.

"Om..."

Everything around me is slowing down, the fat face of the fat fairy, Yingzhao's anger, the sound of the ban closing, the footsteps of horseshoes, flying sand and stones, the sound of insects and birds, everything is no longer important, and gradually becomes The low-frequency noise that could be faintly heard in the ears.

"I want to work harder, work harder, forget myself more, and immerse myself more in it. I must not be sloppy and distracted. This time, the opponent is different from the previous Ice Soul Demon. Yingzhao is an ancient monster, and any movement will attract its attention. Absolutely don't let it know that I have recited the magic word formula and escaped into this ethereal realm!"

With no distracting thoughts in mind, Chen Yao ignored all the changes in the outside world, and dived into the abyss calmly, keeping his consciousness infinitely stable, and hardly showing any signs of weakness.Even if there is such a momentary fluctuation, it doesn't really matter, because in the world Chen Yao is currently in, the concept of a momentary moment is already negligible.A moment in the infinite time and space is not even a millisecond of hesitation in the real world.

"..."

Finally, even the low-frequency noise disappeared, and everything around Chen Yao stopped.Although from a macro point of view, time is still passing at an extremely slow speed, but for Yingzhao and Fat Immortal, this passage is beyond their senses.

"In one go, refine the bitter grass!"

Chen Yao didn't know when a towering tree appeared in front of Chen Yao, standing abruptly in the middle of a wasteland.

There is nothing on this boundless wasteland, no human voice, no birds chirping, and no wind blowing grass, only a huge bitter grass is shaking slightly, exuding an unspeakable terrible yin.

"Wait for me to refine your grass leaves one by one, and let you be my help on the road to immortality, and help me to reach a higher level!"

Chen Yao moved forward carefully, and the boundless pain became equally slow, although after everything slowed down, Chen Yao no longer had a real sense of touch.But pain is timeless, no matter how much pain exists, even if time really stops, it will still exist, and it will not go away no matter what.

"Get used to the pain, let the pain become my instinct."

Chen Yao kept breathing out his luck, walked slowly, and finally came to the front of the bitter grass, stretched out his hand to fold off a bunch carefully, then sat cross-legged, and began to refine carefully.

A boundless wilderness, a plant of heavenly bitter grass, a young man practicing Taoism, one scene, one thing, one person, one world, full of Taoism.

In the boundless sky, a little starlight is like a bean, and the colorful brilliance inside flows at an imperceptibly slow speed, which is the only connection between Chen Yao and the outside world.

Chen Yao didn't deliberately calculate the "time" in this instant, but the instinct of his body made him feel a little bit.After dozens of days, perhaps several months, Chen Yao finally got used to the boundless pain in his body, and the leaf of bitter grass was only refined to a corner.

"Although it's only been a day or two since I entered this cave, I've been in this momentary eternity of consciousness for what seems like a year. It's ironic that I have a little attachment to this different space."

Chen Yao laughed at himself, constantly refining bitter grass in boundless pain, the immortal energy in his body slowly circulated, as if washing the leaves of bitter grass, constantly rinsing the strange black elixir, The spiritual energy contained in it can be washed out bit by bit and turned into one's own use.

No sound, no one, nothing, no self.

This dark wasteland has become Chen Yao's spiritual home, and the boundless tranquility is so moving that Chen Yao is reluctant to leave, wishing to linger here for the rest of his life and never leave the customs again.

Sitting still like this, another month passed, and a blade of grass, together with its meridians, was finally refined.

"Keep up the hard work and continue refining!"

Chen Yao thought so in his heart, but the continuous use of magic words in a short period of time obviously exceeded the limit he could bear.Just when Chen Yao took another blade of grass and prepared to refine it, a piercing pain penetrated into his brain.

"This... Could it be that my body can no longer bear it?"

Suddenly, Chen Yao opened his eyes and saw blood dripping from his Taoist robe. When he reached out to touch it, blood dripped from his mouth and nose, and his body had reached its limit.

"Huh... no matter how much you miss her, you can't really die here!"

Chen Yao stood up, looked up at the only star in the sky, took a long breath, and said to himself:

"Since I'm used to the pain of burning bitter grass, let's return to the body first and go out...!"
