Fairy cage

In the huge diving hotel, Yu Lie followed the hotel's Taoist and had a good look at the various coffins in the hotel.

He has seen all kinds of wood, metal, flesh, and even ice coffins.

Seeing that there are so many types of coffins in the hotel, they are all complete. According to the hotel Taoist, these coffins were made using special techniques. Yu Lie secretly expected in his heart whether there would be a cave inside the coffins.

But when he completed the last few formalities and took a look, he realized that these coffins were just coffins. They were cramped and low and should not be inhabited by living people!

Even because Yu Lie chose the lowest grade, the coffin was still stuffy and the air was not very circulated. If he hadn't been a monk now, he might have suffocated to death if he stayed in it for one night.

The only thing that gave Yu Lie some comfort was that although the aura in the coffin was greatly reduced compared to that in Yu Fenggao's home, it was still rich. It could not be compared to Diving County!

If you ignore the space, it is really an excellent place for retreat.

Because even the lowest-grade wooden coffin is divided into an inner and outer coffin, with at least two layers. Even if someone is organizing a funeral outside, the people lying inside will not be disturbed. It is most suitable for Taoists to cultivate their Qi in it.

It's quiet and safe.

This also made Yu Lie surprised to find that objects in the shape of coffins and coffins were indeed suitable for Taoist cities where every inch of land was at a premium, and they were also particularly suitable for Taoists at the bottom.

He thought to himself: "I wonder who came up with the idea of ​​using coffins as a hotel."

At this point, Yu Ke decided to stay in the diving hotel and rented it for a month.

During this month, he can use the coffin as he likes. No matter what Yu Lie is doing in it, whether he sleeps alone or for two people, as long as the coffin is not burst, the hotel will not care.

The rent for one month is also cheap. Taking into account Yu Lie's discount for being born in Diving County, the manager only has three spiritual stones, which is equivalent to only one spiritual stone for ten days!

At this price, even if Yu Lie first came to Qianzhou Daocheng and didn't know much about local prices, he knew that this was an extremely cheap price!

You must know that when he was in Diving County, he just bought a second-hand book about lizard creatures, and he spent two or three spirit stones. In addition to the consumption of subsequent retreats, he used six or seven spirit stones in one go.

It was the low price of the coffin that made Yu Lie feel lucky for a while.

It's just like what the hotel Taoist said:

"Fellow Taoist, don't dislike these coffins. If we can't live in these coffins, where will we live? Besides, it's not like there aren't other places in Tao City, but with that location and that price, are you still willing to live there? ?"

Yu Lie felt silent about this and dared not speak.

After all, after paying one month's rent, he only had a total of twenty-five spiritual stones left in his hand.

These spiritual stones mainly came from his personal earnings during the period of fighting in Blackwater Town. Because of a falling out with the head of the Yu family, the Yu family was also in embarrassment. When Yu Lie came to Daocheng, the Yu family did not give him any support in the spirit stone.

After Yi Lie returned to Qianqian County, he bought and sold medicinal materials, spent money and made money, increased and decreased, and almost all the money in his hands was exchanged and purchased into spiritual stones in the county, so he ended up with the amount he has now.

Otherwise, his current possessions would be even less.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Yu Lie exchanged all the talisman money into spiritual stones instead of bringing the talisman money directly to Tao City was because the ghosts and gods in the City God's Temple suggested it.

At that time, the other party did not discuss it in detail, but just asked Yu Lie to seize the rare opportunity, which was regarded as a little care for him by the City God.

Yu Lie thought that the situation here was just to buy spiritual stones in the county and the price was more convenient.

As a result, when he stepped into Daocheng in person, got Yu Fenggao's explanation, and tentatively asked the Taoist at the hotel, he discovered that the talisman money was not very useful in Daocheng, and was almost like scrap metal!

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is what the hotel Taoist said:

"This Talisman Money has the brand of dragon energy, so it is not completely useless. But you, Taoist friend, have just come to Daocheng. If you can't bear it, the Taoist court can print and distribute this thing at will! This thing is used in the county and below, those It is reasonable for mortals and little Taoist boys to use it.

But when it comes to us Taoist disciples who can breathe in spiritual energy, as well as the Taoist priests above us, the talisman money is of no use! Spiritual stones are the greatest guarantee, no matter when they are useful! It’s not a loss anyway! "

This is roughly the same as what Yu Fenggao told Yu Lie.

Starting from the eighth-grade Taoist disciples in Dao City, they only use spiritual stones for transactions.

For all kinds of tasks and materials, only spirit stones are accepted. Even the Taoists in the Tao City will return to their original nature and barter from time to time, which is very contrary to the situation in today's prosperous age of immortality.

But this situation is also a last resort.

In the history of the Shanhai Realm, it is not that there were no high-minded people, or even immortals, who wanted to make radical changes, and even took mandatory measures to promote dragon energy talisman money, and they also received the support of the entire immortal world. .

However, after repeating it several times, the final result was a mess of chicken feathers, a Taoist court collapsed, and an immortal bore the blood debt for this, and ended up with a degenerate end.

As for the Taoists below the level of immortals, there are countless miserable ones. There are not only a few who have lost their thousand-year-old families and ten-thousand-year-old cities in one day.

After that, even if the Dragon Qi Talisman Money was of great use, it would only be reduced to an existence that was used to replenish spiritual stones in the world, and the entire Shanhai world also received the unworthy evaluation of "Taoists are like small farmers."

In the period where Yu Lie is now, the situation has not improved, but the transaction of spiritual stones is more clear and strict than before.

Spiritual stones are divided into five grades according to their quality: inferior grade, low grade, medium grade, top grade, and top grade.

The Taoist court strictly restricted the use of low-grade spiritual stones by eighth-grade Taoist disciples, and only by seventh-grade Taoist officials.

By analogy, sixth-grade Taoist priests can use medium-grade spiritual stones, fifth-grade Taoist priests can use high-grade spiritual stones, and top-grade spiritual stones are the medium of trade between immortals.

However, when Yu Lie continued to chat with the Taoist at the hotel, he suddenly learned some more news from the Taoist at the hotel.

The other party collected the rest of the spirit stones, weighed them, and said briskly:

"Although we Taoists only value spiritual stones, those from foreign lands, especially those who have entered our Shanhai Realm not long ago, still accept talisman money. They can only use talisman money to purchase supplies from major shops in the Tao City. Fellow Taoist, if you still have a lot of talisman money in your hand, you can find them and use them on them."

The hotel Taoist suddenly thought of something else and muttered: "By the way, I heard that every time Daoting conquers a foreign land, the first step is to promote these dragon-qi scrap irons in the foreign world. Speaking of which, Daoting really doesn't give up. , It’s just scrap metal, who is willing to exchange it for spiritual stones and spiritual objects? Only those foreign natives can be so stupid..."

When Yu Lie heard this, he was slightly startled.

Some insights from his past life came to his mind, and he felt that there were clues in them.

After thinking for a while, Yu Lie waved goodbye to the Taoist priest in the hotel. He looked at an old coffin placed in front of him and whispered with emotion:

"Although Daocheng is large and difficult to live in, Pindao is still a Taoist and a human being."

After thinking for a moment, he took out the blank talisman paper given to him by the hotel Taoist from his sleeve, wrote his name on it with his true energy, and slapped it on the coffin.

Tsk!

A coffin popped up, and Yu Lie gathered his thoughts and jumped in.

After riding the dragon carriage for many days and meeting Yu Fenggao non-stop, Yu Lie also spent a lot of energy to drive a long distance. Most of the meager energy in his body was consumed, just in time to feel the taste of the coffin. , breathe in spiritual energy and recover.

After Yu Lie jumped in, the coffin closed on its own and calm returned.

In the narrow corridor, only the coffin was on one end. On a piece of paper with the word "Yu Lie" written on it, it was swaying in the wind.

But soon, a secret curse that only the people inside could hear came from the coffin:

"What a profiteer! We agreed that we wouldn't have to shrink our legs!"

………………

time flies.

Ever since Yu Lie checked into the diving hotel, he has been hanging out in and around the hotel.

Luo Xiaofang and the others who had arrived in Qianzhou Daocheng with him before also met him, chatting with each other and becoming acquaintances.

The other party also began to invite Yu Lie to go out to work together, but Yu Lie himself declined.

It's not that he doesn't want to go out and earn spiritual stones to make up for his shy pocket. But compared to earning spiritual stones, Yu Lie had one more important thing that he needed to do.

This matter is nothing but cultivation!

It is said that after obtaining the breathing method, Yu Lie has not practiced it well yet.

It can be said that the true energy in his body at this time is still the ordinary true energy that he cultivated when he broke through and became an eighth-level Taoist disciple.

After all, after receiving the reward from the Qianjun City God, Yu Lie had no choice but to run away from Yu's house in a hurry before he had time to practice properly, not wanting to get into more trouble.

And if he doesn't transform all the true energy in his body into the true energy of the "Gold, Stone, Poison and Fire Breathing Method", if Chun Chun is a new Taoist disciple, even if he has one or two skills in alchemy, no one will believe him.

Even if you believe him, you will definitely lower the price and try your best to deceive and deceive him, a new Taoist disciple who has not even mastered the breathing method.

He stayed in the hotel coffin for several days.

Yu Lie was lying peacefully, his legs were intertwined in a weird posture, and his five twisted hearts were in the sky.

At this time, he was practicing the "Gold, Stone, Poison and Fire Breathing Method" in his mind.

The breathing technique in the Taoist stage is very different from the Daoyin technique in the Taoist stage. The latter requires moving and exercising the muscles and bones, and often requires the use of medicinal liquids, acupuncture, massage, etc., in order to bring out the best. Effect.

But in the former, as the name suggests, the most important thing is breathing and exhalation.

For Taoist disciples, only the breath between the two orifices in the nose is the most important.

The rest of the auxiliary measures such as medicinal solutions and exercises are not useless, but except for breathing methods that pay special attention to physical training, for most breathing methods, they are far inferior to taking elixirs and breathing quietly. , it is better to replenish the spiritual energy inside and outside the body.

It is precisely for this reason that the cultivation at the Taoist stage is called "active practice" and the practice at the Taoist stage is called "quiet practice".

Movement and stillness are different from each other, and the movement of Qigong is the foundation of static Qigong.

Because the practice of static gong is not as simple and easy as it seems on the surface, it is done in the cavity of the human body, which is more meticulous and dangerous than the dynamic gong.

People who become obsessed with the exercise often dance wildly, have their muscles and bones broken, and die from exhaustion. There are signs that can warn others and give them a chance to save them.

However, once the breathing and breathing exercises of Jing Gong go too far, there will be little change in appearance at first. At most, there will be an upwelling of Qi and blood and a reddish complexion. It is still unclear whether this is a normal performance of the exercise or an abnormal sign. .

When the condition worsens and becomes irreversible, the body will bleed from all the orifices, all the internal organs will be burned, the body will be broken into pieces, it will be difficult to treat with medicine and stone, and the person will die suddenly on the spot.

For this kind of situation, it is difficult for Taoists at the same level to take care of it. Only the seventh-level Taoist priests with spiritual consciousness can grasp the internal conditions of Taoist disciples without interfering with their cultivation, and have methods to do so. Make prompt remedial action.

It's a pity that Yu Lie is now a poor man. He has neither a few kilograms of spiritual stones nor a heavy foot. He can't invite the Taoist elders to protect him.

Therefore, for Yu Lie, if he wants to convert all the true energy in his body into the true energy of the "Gold, Stone, Poison and Fire Breathing Method", the difficulty and risk are actually not small when he crosses the threshold.

In particular, the "Gold and Stone Poison Fire Breathing Technique" is equivalent to the former "Five Poisons Refining Zang Guidance Technique". Both are poisonous techniques. The speed of practice is faster than ordinary techniques, so the degree of risk in their practice will naturally increase. Even worse!

It is mainly reflected in the gold and stone materials required for the "Gold and Stone Poison Fire Breathing Method". This kind of gold and stone is extremely poisonous and can disintegrate the flesh and blood of living beings.

Just the size of a fingernail can cut off the fish and turtles in a river and make it devoid of any life for decades. It will also erode into the underground river, and then continuously expand the scope of influence, which may reach hundreds of miles.

Its purity and toxicity are also extremely difficult to control.

No Taoist can rely on dilution techniques to weaken the toxicity. Even if it is weakened, it will not be used for cultivation because the purity of the gold and stone cannot be guaranteed.

The only two ways are, first, to be able to withstand the poison, and second, to be wealthy and be able to buy the elixir by smashing spiritual stones, so that one can be in a state of being poisoned and repairing at the same time, without being poisoned to death.

Fortunately for Yu Lie, in addition to his outstanding poison resistance, he also has a bronze wine cup in hand!

The wine glass can extract poison and spirit, and Yu Lie can completely extract this kind of gold and stone to the point where it is on the verge of turning into pure spiritual energy. Its toxicity is weakened, but its purity is enough, and the spiritual poison is integrated into the body, enough to spit it into the body.

Just like that, Yu Lie was lying in the dead coffin, holding the fluorescent gold stone in one hand and the Qingtong wine glass in the other, practicing slowly and breathing in and out.

As he breathed, the fluorescence from the gold and stone continuously poured into his body, tempering his true energy.

Being in a narrow coffin, Yu Lie also discovered another benefit of Daocheng's coffin.

That is because the coffin is narrow. In order to prevent several adjacent coffins from interfering with each other, even the most inferior wooden coffins are mixed with lead sheets, gold foil, and runes painted with silver juice to isolate the inside and outside.

Practicing in such a narrow space that is enough to seal the poison of gold and stone can help Yu Lie swallow the poison of gold and stone without much escape.
