Chapter 42 Abnormalities
Baiyu Bay, within the cave.
The thick stone walls seem to isolate all sounds from the stone chamber. The sounds of the waves and breezes cannot be heard at all, leaving only a tranquility, which is the most suitable atmosphere for those who practice Taoism to meditate and practice.
Chen Shi was sitting cross-legged on the bed, quietly looking at the secret method of Lingxiao Sect’s “Star Luo Gong” in his hand, and at the same time, he gently held a shiny little stone in his right hand, which was the Spirit Crystal.
His eyes swept over the magic trick carefully, put it aside, and pondered. According to the Xingluo magic trick, because the human race is indeed too weak, in the Qi Refining Realm where he first started practicing, it is best for human race monks to practice only once a day, that is, to absorb the spiritual power from the spiritual crystal into their body once a day, so as to proceed step by step, and then increase the number of times of absorbing the spiritual power of the spiritual crystal after the practice becomes deeper in the future. Otherwise, if you are too hasty, the spiritual power will enter the body too much and too strong, and the physical body will be easily unable to bear it, which will cause great harm.
"During the day, the spiritual power dissipated before it even entered the body. This should not be considered a practice once?" Chen Shi frowned and carefully recalled the situation in the day. Finally, he looked at the spiritual crystal in his hand and saw that the spiritual crystal was crystal clear and shining, obviously intact. You should know that if the spiritual power was absorbed by the cultivator, the light of the spiritual crystal will weaken and dim. The more times the spiritual power is absorbed, the dimmer the color of the spiritual crystal will become, and it is easy to distinguish. Once the spiritual crystal used by the cultivator, even if it has only absorbed spiritual power once, it is usually impossible to buy various spiritual materials on the market as money.
After considering it over and over again, Chen Shi decided to try to practice again. Anyway, in the morning star hall, Senior Brother Wang Gen had already made it clear to them. In fact, it was just that his physical body was not very harmonious with his spiritual power. There was no shortcut to solve this problem. He just practiced more times and suffered from the physical body backlash several times. When the physical body gradually adapts to the spiritual power, he could naturally start practicing.
It is better to have short pain than long pain. If you suffer early and late, you will suffer... Chen Shi comforted himself in his heart for a few words, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, clenched his palms, and grabbed the spirit crystal tightly in the palm of his hand.
The Xingluo magic trick started to operate again, but without the assistance of the strange magic arrays in the Morning Star Hall, Chen Shi obviously felt that he could not concentrate quickly. It took several times more time than the Sun before he slowly calmed down and felt the faint light of spiritual power in the spiritual crystal.
The rest was as he had done in the daytime, focusing on the light, chasing the glimmer of light in the darkness. After spending the boss's effort, he finally barely grabbed the trace of spiritual power. At this time, Chen Shi had already vaguely felt that his body began to tremble slightly, and he looked extremely tired mentally. He had not yet absorbed spiritual power into his body, and the signs of physical retaliation had not appeared, but for some reason he felt that he could not hold on.
It was only after finally grasping the trace of spiritual power that Chen Shi was really unwilling to give up easily, so he still endured his discomfort and tried hard to absorb the trace of spiritual power as if it were in the qi veins in his palm.
Under his control, this wisp of weak spiritual power slowly approached his body. When he just touched the skin of his palm and was about to merge into his body's qi, Chen Shi's body shook suddenly, and an extremely violent pain seemed to tear open his body open. It emerged from every corner of his body at the same time, making his body instantly collapsed, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, and fell down with a "bang" from the bed.
The physical backlash finally appeared again.
Chen Shi's whole body was trembling, and he kept twitching on the ground, his face turned pale. To his surprise, for some reason, the backlash was a little more severe than Bai Ri. Especially in addition to the severe pain around his body, there was also a splitting headache in his head that had never appeared in Bai Ri. It was like his whole head was about to burst, which made him feel in pain and almost hit the ground with his head.
This pain is almost unbearable, and it makes people feel that life is worse than death. Although the whole body is about to break, it can only endure it. However, this pain in the head that has never been seen before is extremely fierce and hard to resist. Chen Shi was caught off guard and held his head on the ground, unable to help but shout, kicking his legs and rolling.
Fortunately, this strong and terrifying pain did not last long, and it gradually faded after a while. Otherwise, Chen Shi really doubted whether he would suffer from such pain.
This path of cultivation is really hard and tortuous.
Chen Shi lay on the ground, and for a moment he was unable to get up. He felt tired and exhausted all over, and was even more mentally exhausted. He seemed to have died and came back to life again. It was much worse than in the morning star hall during the day.
Looking at the stone wall above his head with a dull eyes, Chen Shi felt a little confused. Is this an accident? Didn’t it be that the pain of physical backlash gradually weakened with the increase of the number of times of practice? Why did he actually increase so much when he got here?
Or, even if there is no spiritual energy entering the body during the day, it has actually been considered a practice once. If you practice again at night, what is said in the Xingluo magic formula, "It is harmful to you?"
As he thought about it, Chen Shi was so tired that he just lay down on the ground and fell asleep. However, when he was about to fall asleep, he was blank and didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly, a thought passed by, as if he had remembered something, but in a blink of an eye, he felt like he had forgotten it. He seemed to think that this thought was a bit important, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it at all.
April 17th, sunny.
When Chen Shi woke up from his sleep in a daze, he felt a faint pain all over his body. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered what happened last night one after another and couldn't help but sweat again.
This path of cultivation is indeed not a joke. Although I still don’t know why the pain of physical backlash was intensified last night, and there were signs of severe head pain that did not exist before, Chen Shi decided that he must be more cautious when practicing in the future. In addition, it is best to find an opportunity today to ask Senior Brother Su He about his situation.
I slept on the ground last night. When I got up, I felt stiff when I got up. I quickly moved in the stone room and felt that I slowly recovered. After using the cloud talisman to close the star bead above my head, I saw a ray of sunlight falling from the skylight. The sunken stone suddenly shuddered and shouted: "Oh no!"
He quickly packed up his clothes, opened the stone gate and ran out. Yesterday, he got better with the star girl in Hongbeng Village. Today's time passed, and now it's been a long time late.
He complained in his heart. When he thought about asking him if he would get up so early yesterday, Chen Shi couldn't help but feel a little fever on his face, but there was no other way at this time, so he could only rush over as soon as possible. As for asking Su He or other senior brothers about the strange retaliation of the physical body, he would go to find them when he came back earlier today.
Running out of the cave, Chen Shi walked quickly towards Qingyuji. After walking a few steps, the stone door of the cave next to him opened. Sun You walked out and saw Chen Shi at first sight. His eyes lit up and he reached out to greet him.
Chen Shi stopped, and when he ran to the front, he looked him up and down, and smiled and said, "Where are you going?"
Sun You happened to speak, and he actually asked the same question. The two looked at each other and smiled, both smiled, then walked side by side, Chen Shi said, "I'll go to the Red Beng Village."
Sun You glanced at him and said, "You can really do the shrimp peeling? How many shrimp meats were peeled yesterday?"
Chen Shi shook his head and said, "There are only five. Let's try it today. The main reason is that there are really no suitable tasks in Baihetang. By the way, have you found any tasks after you went back yesterday?"
Sun You paused for a moment, but glanced secretly at the surroundings, as if he was a little guilty, and then he said to Chen Shi softly: "Ei Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang didn't find anything satisfied. They said they would go and see it today. After all, it is said that new tasks will be issued from Baihe Hall. As for me," he laughed dryly and whispered, "I went to the Spirit Beast Palace and took over the task of feeding beasts."
Chen Shi was stunned and said strangely: "We were at Baihetang yesterday. Didn't we ask about this task? I remember that senior sister told us clearly that the mission of feeding beasts was already full."
Sun You coughed and said, "Well... it's right, that senior sister didn't lie to us."
Chen Shi looked at him and said, "Then how did you get in?"
Sun You's face became more and more embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, but lowered his voice and said, "Isn't my uncle in Baihe Hall. He is very familiar with a senior brother in the Spirit Beast Hall, so he asked him for help..."
Chen Shi looked at him without saying anything for a while, then laughed and shook his head, and walked forward. Sun You didn't know what, he felt a little injustice, ran to him and said a little embarrassedly: "Chen Shi, actually, I really asked you yesterday if you could go to feed the beasts with two people, but my uncle said that if you could collect one more person, it would be a great face given by the senior brother. There is no way."
Chen Shi turned his head and shook his head and smiled, "Sunyou, don't be too careful, I didn't think of anything else. If you have your uncle to help you, this is a good thing. I can only be happy for you, and this is not a big deal."
Sun You said "um" and looked a little concerned, saying, "You really didn't take it to your heart?"
Chen Shi smiled and said, "How can we take everything in the world as equal and fair? It's okay."
Sun You then breathed a sigh of relief. The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they walked to Qingyuji again. Here, Sun You wanted to go to the other direction where the beasts were fed by the Spirit Beast Hall. As for the road to Hongbeng Village, there was only one place, and no other teenagers passed by, so Chen Shi went in that direction.
Walking all the way to Hongbeng Village, Chen Shi saw a girl squatting on the ground at the entrance of the village, with a large basket of bamboo cages beside her. Without asking, you can tell that there are ghost-faced shrimps inside.
