Fairy cage

In the quiet room, Yu Lie transformed into a black snake fish. After a sudden realization, he restrained his transformation and stood on the altar holding his life book. His eyes were filled with surprise.

"It's really alienated!"

He was so excited that he walked around barefoot on the metal altar without even putting on his clothes.

People in the Alchemy Way use leather books as their natal blood vessels. Compared with using Gu insects, spores, and dragon veins as their natal blood vessels, each has its own advantages. Naturally, leather books also have benefits that are different from the first three.

The advantage is that every time a Taoist catches a monster and refines it into a qualified piece of leather paper, he can not only rely on the paper to cast spells, but he can also put the paper on his body to imitate the monster.

The more skilled the alchemy practitioners are, the more realistic and lifelike their imitations will be after putting them on leather paper.

For this reason, in the eyes of many people in the Tao of Alchemy, shadow puppet books are called "painted skin books", and this Tao is also called "painted skin".

It's just that compared to the first three, which are already quite mature, "painted skin" is just a minor thing after all.

Just wearing a layer of skin, even if the skin wearer is like Yu Li, who uses the complete skin membrane to make a shadow puppet book, and can wrap himself in the skin paper from head to toe, the final result is just a skin image. It just doesn’t look like meat.

The inner texture, bones, breath, habits, etc. of a monster made of skin like this are all different from the real monster. The difference is huge.

If the person is wearing skin, like the "Mei Yan" Taoist boy captured by Yu Lie, wearing human skin or ape skin, it may be difficult for similar people to detect the clues.

If the same kind does not imitate the same kind, then basically it can only be watched from a distance, and no one dares to get close to play with it.

But Yu Lie's performance in the quiet room just now was obviously not as simple as just wearing a layer of fish skin. He was sure that he seemed to have really transformed into a black snake fish, with a water-loving and ferocious nature!

Thinking of this, Yu Lie clutched his natal book tightly, his eyes burning:

"In other words, the function of my leather book is not just as simple as 'painting the skin', but a complete change, a 'technique of change'."

He communicates with his natal skin book, and he can still understand from the skin book. If his cultivation progresses, the role of the skin book will continue to be deepened.

By then, the effect of this transformation technique will be even more powerful!

He may even no longer rely on the power of the black membrane to imitate the organs and other parts of the Black Snake Fish, but his own flesh and bones can also evolve into the flesh and bones of the Black Snake Fish.

If he really reaches this level, even a cultivator who is two realms higher than him will never be able to recognize him!

Thinking of this, Yu Lie felt even more joyful.

If the transformation effect of the leather book can really be like this, if nothing else, from now on Yu Lie's ability to protect his life and hide his traces should be at the top level among his fellow Taoists.

suddenly.

Yu Lie stood on the metal altar. With a thought in his mind, he threw out the leather book in his hand, causing his body to be swallowed up again.

A human-shaped foreign object twisted on the altar for a moment, and the NPC's black snake fish appeared again.

It wandered to a prescription medicine box in the quiet room, took out a variety of medicinal materials, and rolled it onto the guillotine and other tools, and began to test its own abilities.

After spending a lot of effort, Yu Lie found that after he transformed into a black snake fish, he not only had all the appearance and habits of the black snake fish, but also had all the specialties of the black snake fish.

For example, he was able to breathe in the water without feeling like drowning, which surprised Yu Lie.

After he climbed onto the metal altar again and returned to his human form, Yu Lie touched both sides of his cheeks and found that although they were still wet, the feeling of breathing through the gills had completely disappeared.

Yu Lie suppressed his mood, stepped down from the altar again, took various tools, and began to test the situation after he transformed back into a human body.

Soon, the results came out.

There is no trace of the snake fish left on his body. All the advantages he had when he first transformed into the black snake fish have disappeared, and the shortcomings of the black snake fish have also disappeared.

He is now in a purely human form, clearly distinguishable between the before and after transformation, and neither the inside nor the outside will be affected.

Knowing this, Yu Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

After turning into a snake fish, he can use the ability of the snake fish, which means that his transformation technique is not just a simple image, but also allows him to master the ability to change things.

As for the leather books of ordinary Taoists, they are not only covered with a layer of skin, which easily exposes the true nature, but also cannot use the ability of the thing covered with skin. At most, after wearing the skin, it will have a bonus to the corresponding spell, and the use of it will be more powerful. Just relax.

The difference further proves that Yu Lie's transformation technique is fundamentally different from the ordinary skin painting technique!

Especially after Yu Lie returned to his human form, there would be no trace of the monster left on his body. This also means that he can easily separate himself from the changing things and will not be made inhuman by the changing things. Ghost or not.

This determines whether Yu Lie can frequently use this technique of change.

Because according to what is mentioned in the alchemy notes, one of the major disadvantages of using painted-skinned objects as natal blood vessels is that it will aggravate the Taoist's erosion by monsters and evil spirits.

If you choose to use this object as your natal blood weapon, be sure not to covet the blessing of magic by wearing a skin, otherwise it may cause the practitioner to become inhuman, demon or demon, and end his own path.

Precisely because this point cannot be resolved, painted skins or shadow puppets have always been on the sidelines in the alchemy path, and have not been promoted to the emperor's right path.

It should be noted that the reason why people in the Immortal Way today want to refine their natal artifacts is to use external objects as a barrier to help them practice their Taoism and study the Dharma, rather than simply wanting quick success and instant benefits.

Walking barefoot on the Dharma altar, Yu Lie neatly groomed himself and thought to himself:

"In other words, after the alienation of my natal skin, it happened to make up for the great shortcomings of the painted skin and the skin...the almost real "change" will no longer allow Taoists to be affected by monsters?"

His eyes flickered, and he vaguely saw the dawn of becoming a sixth-grade Taoist priest!

It is said that the immortal path starting from the sixth level is completely different from the lower third level.

Taoists in this realm are the real people who walk on the great road, the real rulers in the world of mountains and seas, and the real pioneers of the immortal way.

Every Taoist priest is a precious resource in the world of mountains and seas. Even if he is guilty of a heinous crime, as long as he is not a Taoist traitor or a traitor, he will not be sentenced to death by the Taoist court. At most, his cultivation will be imprisoned and he will be imprisoned until If you die of old age, you will still have the opportunity to have your punishment reduced.

Because Taoist boys, Taoist disciples, and Taoist officials are just people who learn Taoism. Sixth-grade Taoist priests and above are the monks.

That generation is well versed in the destiny of heaven, and everyone who can become a Taoist priest has either made great contributions to the world of mountains and seas, or is extraordinary in the study of the immortal way.

The former relies on killing and hard work; the latter relies on talent and genius.

It is precisely because of these two restrictions and incentives that after the end of the Dharma Ending Age, the Shanhai Realm has spanned several periods in less than 30,000 years, catching up with the ancient times, and once again suppressed the world with an extremely powerful attitude. Three thousand world!

Thinking of this, Yu Lie couldn't help but chuckle:

"I, Yu Lie, have the qualifications of a Taoist priest!"

As long as he can let his flesh and blood, muscles and bones truly transform into another kind of creature, instead of just relying on the simulation of the black film's supernatural power, and can easily change back, he can understand the reasons and master the rules.

Then he will bring about earth-shaking changes to the "Leather Path", making it possible for this path to move from the side door to the right path upwards, and even become the right path!

When the time comes, he will be able to break through and become a sixth-grade Taoist priest without having to rely on hard work or taking risks.

There is a huge dividing line between the lower third grade and the middle third grade.

Once a breakthrough is made, not only will one's personal status undergo earth-shaking changes and one will be "avoided from death", but the Taoist priest's family and bloodline will also ascend to heaven, with many privileges.

Even if the Taoist priest himself does not like his family and does not leave any bloodline, the Taoist court will require the Taoist priest to leave his bloodline within the realm, and will ensure that as long as he is not killed by an external enemy within the realm, every Taoist priest's bloodline will not be cut off.

Anyone who violates this law will be punished with the crime of apostasy.

Therefore, with Yu Lie's current knowledge, even with the help of the bronze wine cup, he could not guarantee that he would become a Taoist priest in the future.

Now, the alienation of his destiny has made him have strong expectations.

On top of the metal altar.

Yu Lie was overjoyed. Holding the birth book, he felt as if he had obtained half a ticket to the sixth rank of Taoist priest.

In fact, this is Yu Lie's current understanding, which is too short-sighted.

It seems that his natal blood vessel has been "alienated", and the result of the alienation has a high probability of making up for the inheritance of one party's immortal way. As long as he dares to have a trustworthy expert to assist in research, he will have a 70% chance. It will go straight to the sixth level, almost guaranteed!

But with Yu Lie's own temperament, even if he knew this, he would not be willing to let outsiders try medicine and methods on him.

After all, in addition to the 70% probability of escorting a Taoist priest, there are still 30% left. These three achievements are the death of the Taoist body and the inheritance has been usurped...

After rejoicing, Yu Lie broke away from the joy and began to wonder on his own why his leather book was "alienated", and it just made up for the defects of the painting.

Without thinking too much, his attention was focused on the natal black film spell that he had practiced in advance.

"My leather book is not only based on the skin membrane of the whole body, not missing any bit, as well as the essence of spiritual materials used for refining, and also has several more ointments. The biggest factor is the black membrane's special power."

It was the fusion of black film and leather books that gave Yu Lie's leather books such great benefits. But thinking about this, his brows suddenly frowned.

Because he deduced a little bit, he found that if from the perspective of the black film and the black snake fish, it is more likely that the alienation between them and the leather book should be that the leather book has the ability to protect the body, remove poison, etc., or that it allows him to have The possibility of cultivating dragon veins.

Snakes and fishes are like snakes and fishes. When Yu Lie was struggling with his destiny, he had thought to himself that if he wanted to take dragon vein as his destiny, the best choice would be the Black Snake Fish King in the Black River.

He is a creature of scales, the king among fishes, and a powerful ferocious beast in the eighth rank, and is easy to catch by him. Yu Lie has also eaten it many times, and he has gained something. It is really because of him as a bloodline The first choice for foreign objects.

"What is so wonderful about this black snake fish that it can complement the painted skin so well?" Yu Lie thought.

He immediately walked to the table, picked up the Taoist robe on the ground, and put it on himself.

Yu Lie dug out his notes of many dissections of black snake fish, and took out many books that recorded black snake fish. Even the prescriptions for black snake fish were not spared.

With his hair disheveled, he bit the end of his brush and racked his brains to think:

"Snake fish, cold in nature, is a specialty of the Heishui River. It was discovered by the temple master of Heishui Town about sixty years ago. The Taoist killed the fish king, cleared the river, established the Heishui Temple, and opened the town's government office."

Perhaps because Yu Lie's current knowledge is really short-sighted, he still hasn't discovered a certain characteristic of the black snake fish that is related to the "change" technique.

After most of the day, the lamp oil in the quiet room that could burn for seven or eight days was almost burned out. Several lamps were extinguished and the light was dim, but the remaining columns still did not gain much.

He raised his head from the table with a disappointed look, and said to himself: "Should I ask the master of the Black Water Temple for advice?"

The black snake fish was discovered by the other party, and the other party has been in Heihe for at least sixty years, so he should be the person most familiar with this kind of snake fish.

But Yu Lie frowned again.

Not to mention whether the old beggar he knew was the master of the Black Water Temple, if he asked and accidentally touched some secrets, or was noticed by the other party, his leather book would probably be exposed.

Yu Lie does not intend to show the "skill of change" in the natal skin book to outsiders easily. Even if it is used externally, he will only pretend to be a "skin-painting skill", nothing more.

After a moment of reverie, Yu Lie discovered that something like the Black Snake Fish might actually have a big connection behind it, and it wasn't that simple. But he really couldn't figure out anything, so he could only suppress this idea in his heart.

Not long after, Yu Lie packed up the manuscripts, burning those that should be burned, and changing those that should be encrypted into cipher text.

After cleaning it up, he was curious and performed several transformation techniques in the quiet room. It wasn't until his body was weak, his face turned pale, his head broke out in a cold sweat, and he almost ran out of energy and blood that Yu Lie stopped his changing behavior with satisfaction.

He was confirming that the "art of change" in the leather book was real and not an illusion.

The half-month-long seclusion also made Yu Lie quite mentally tired. In addition, his body had a mixture of old skin and new skin, and his hair was withered.

Yu Lie then took off his clothes and took off his belt with frivolous steps, and washed and bathed happily in the quiet room.

While washing up, a thought suddenly popped into his mind:

"Could it be that the type of black snake fish is not as simple as it seems... This thing is not a scale thing, and the dragon's blood is not strong in its body?"
