Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 280 Diagram of Pipa Catfish and Spirit Beast

When Zhao Lin walked back to his residence with the fish basket in hand, it was already dark.

The evening wind was blowing, the moonlight was cool, but my heart was extremely hot.

He quickly walked across the yard, walked into the main room, closed the doors and windows, put the fish basket on the ground, and squatted aside to watch.

The three pipa catfish had come to their senses, fluttered around for a while, and soon stopped still.

If it weren't for the occasional opening and closing of the gills, it would appear dead at first glance.

Zhao Lin was slightly surprised, thinking that this kind of fish is proficient in the way of survival, knowing that struggling is useless, so it saves energy to prolong its survival time.

"Which one should I choose?"

Zhao Lin opened the lid of the fish basket, and looked back and forth at the three pipa catfish.

After absorbing more than a dozen spirits, this was the first time he had multiple choices, but he quickly thought of a way.

"You three brothers, come together!"

Anglerfish are ugly and poisonous. Zhao Lin didn't want to have physical contact with them, so he punched the fish basket a few times from the air.

After a while, the three spirits floated out of the fish basket, forming one by one in the air.

Zhao Lin took a closer look and saw that the spirit in the middle had clear lines and a perfect shape, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"You are the one!"

Step forward, take a light breath...

The spirit entered the body and turned into countless silver lights, bringing Zhao Lin an unprecedented experience.

In the past, the spirit either strengthened a certain ability, or gave birth to the true energy of the attribute, and would make drastic changes to the body.

But this time, it was like a continuous drizzle, moistening things silently, and subtle changes occurred in the body from the outside to the inside.

Cold, heat, soreness, pain, numbness, itching, swelling... all kinds of sensations appear in the body, but they are not very severe.

A very strange energy flows back and forth in the body.

When the sky is completely dark, the spirit has been absorbed.

Zhao Lin moved his body a few times, only to feel that everything was different from before, but he couldn't say exactly what was different.

"It's better to let some blood out and see the effect!"

Zhao Lin's first thought was to test his self-healing ability, but he ran into a little trouble.

He has been cultivating his physical body since he trained his skin and bones. After being tempered by the blood realm, primordial realm, and innate realm, his body has become as solid as copper cast iron.

There is no sharp weapon in the room, it is really not that easy to bleed yourself.

Although he can definitely injure himself as long as he exerts a strong force, but it is not yet sure how good his self-healing ability is.

What if you use too much force and you cannot recover from a serious injury?
Zhao Lin pondered for a while, and went through the martial arts exercises in his mind.

Ice attribute skills have the power of freezing, and it is not easy to see the effect; lightning attribute skills are too overbearing, and may knock yourself out...

He finally chose the air chop.

The sharp edge of the palm is also good for controlling damage.

Zhao Lin took off his outer robe and only wore a small coat.

Pulled a chair, raised his leg and stepped on it, frowned and gritted his teeth, and slashed his thigh three times. ...

The first palm didn't have much force, only a red mark was drawn on the leg.

The second palm, increased strength, cut the skin, and blood flowed out.

In the third palm, the strength increased by [-]%, the skin was torn apart, and the blood gushed out!
hiss……

Zhao Lin sucked in his breath, ignoring the pain, staring at the three wounds without blinking.

In less than two breaths, the red marks from the first palm disappeared.

After five breaths passed, the wound caused by the second palm was completely closed!
And the third wound, originally extremely deep, had stopped bleeding and was healing quickly.

Seeing this miraculous change, Zhao Lin's pupils shrank and his breathing became heavy.

After about thirty breaths, the marks left by the first two palms have completely disappeared, and only a shallow wound remains from the third palm.

It's almost hard to spot if you don't look closely!

"The self-healing ability is stronger than I expected!"

Satisfied, Zhao Lin waved his arm vigorously.

"Calm down, there are people in their thirties, why do you still act like you haven't seen the world before?"

Zhao Lin muttered, but couldn't help showing joy on his face.

Walking around the room for a while, my mood gradually calmed down, and I thought to myself: "Whether self-healing ability is good for cultivation, we have to test it again. It is not advisable to open champagne at halftime."

Thinking of this, he sat down cross-legged and began to practice Cheng Huazong's method of exhaling and promoting Qi.

……

After two hours passed, Zhao Lin stood up, with a smile on his lips, and a little more calmness in his eyes.

Just now he practiced exercises non-stop, deliberately took the path of bravery and diligence, and did not spare his body at all.

In less than an hour, the meridians could no longer bear it.

But he ignored it and still did his best.

After an hour and a half, the meridians began to be slightly damaged, and there was a feeling of tearing around the acupuncture points.

But in an instant, an invisible but palpable energy passed over the wound, and the damage immediately recovered.

After trying this three times, but with the same result, Zhao Lin finally felt relieved.

"It seems that my deduction is correct, self-healing ability can really speed up the speed of practice!"

"Of course, this does not mean that you can practice endlessly. Although the wound will heal itself, the body will still be tired, and the ability to refine spiritual energy will continue to decline."

But the flaws do not conceal the virtues, Zhao Lin is very satisfied with this spirit.

So far, all nine grids of the Spiritual Beast Map have been filled: strength, hearing, smell, wind, ice, thunder, fire, earth, and self-healing.

"The ability is finalized. In the future, you can only upgrade the spirit."

Zhao Lin said to himself with some emotion, and suddenly remembered that he had been busy testing the ability of the spirit just now, and forgot to check the picture of the spirit beast, and quickly looked into his mind.

This look doesn't matter, when he saw the appearance of the spirit beast, he was stunned.

The spirit beast picture is grayed out!
Pipa catfish appeared in the ninth grid, but the whole picture of the spirit beast was gray and black, without a trace of life, as if it had fallen into a long sleep.

How could this be?
Could it be that by gathering all the nine spirits, the spirit beast map will complete the mission and prepare to retire?

Zhao Lin's heart tightened, followed by a burst of disappointment.

The spirit beast map has always been the biggest reliance for me to be able to have today.

Although coming to the world of cultivating immortals, the advantages brought by the spirit beast map are not as obvious as before, but they are still indispensable.

He originally wanted to find more powerful monsters so that his abilities could continue to evolve.

"By the way, could it be related to Lingshi?"

Zhao Lin suddenly remembered that the last time he held a spirit stone to observe at the garrison monk, the abnormal reaction appeared in the spirit beast picture.

Maybe the spirit beast map is just dormant and requires spirit stones to make it "activate" again?
It's a pity that I don't have Lingshi at hand, so I can't find out.

"Forget it, I gain my life and lose my luck. If the fate is really over, let it go."

After all, Zhao Lin has been a man in two lifetimes and has experienced the world. After a long examination, he slowly accepted the result calmly.

And his intuition told him that the spirit beast map is still "alive", and just needs an opportunity to recover again.
