If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 112: Realm improvement, opening up the Purple Mansion

"I fought with you!"

A mournful and desperate roar sounded in the night sky.

The demon girl was covered in blood and she actually grabbed a poisonous snake and swallowed it alive.

After swallowing the poisonous snake, he seemed to be energetic again. He slapped his back and a huge wave of water surged towards Ding Xiu.

At the same time, the witch followed the wave and rushed over with her claws and fangs.

Ding Xiu raised his palm and was about to send the demon girl off for the last time, but what he didn't expect was that the demon girl actually played a trick.

He seemed to be full of murderous intent, and looked like he was going to die together.

Unexpectedly, it was a feint, and he suddenly turned a corner halfway and fled quickly towards the woods on the right.

"Ah……"

Ding Xiu was happy.

Then with a thought, several Five Emperors' coins appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand. With the word "quick", the Five Emperors' coins flew out one after another, as fast as lightning.

"what!"

A pitiful scream sounded again in the night sky.

"thump!"

Then, there was another sound of falling into the water.

The surrounding fog slowly dispersed, and the water surface returned to calm.

Finally solved one.

To be on the safe side, Ding Xiu dragged the witch's body to the shore and turned it to ashes with a fire talisman.

As the saying goes: Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Not long after, Ding Xiu returned to the Marshal's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the living room, Uncle Jiu happened to come down from the second floor. Ding Xiu subconsciously asked: "Uncle Jiu, are you done?"

"Uh-huh?"

He always felt that there was something wrong with what Ding Xiu asked.

However, now is not the time to worry about these details. He immediately called Ding Xiu aside and whispered: "Things are a little bad."

"what happened?"

"The demon baby has taken shape..."

Uncle Jiu whispered the reason.

Finally, he said: "It's not difficult to destroy the demon baby now, but..."

At this point, Uncle Jiu sighed: "In that case, Lian Mei's child will definitely be gone, and she will also be in certain danger."

Ding Xiu thought for a moment and said, "However, if she is left alone, she will also not have a child, because the child's soul has been completely devoured by the demon infant."

Uncle Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know, I just can't bear to see Sister Lian sad."

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "Uncle Ninth, don't worry, I have a way. Although I can't guarantee that it will be successful, I'm at least [-] or [-]% sure."

To say six or seven points is actually a bit conservative.

Ding Xiu does have a way. As he said, although he cannot guarantee 100%, he is almost [-]% sure.

But we are always afraid of the eventuality, so we can conservatively say that we are [-]-[-]% certain.

Even so, Uncle Jiu still looked excited: "Great, what is the solution?"

Ding Xiu replied: "The demonic infant is an extremely yin and extremely evil thing. If we can find an extremely yang object and then assist the magic circle, we can restrain it and slowly dissolve its evil energy."

"A thing of extreme sunshine?" Uncle Jiu couldn't help but frowned: "But this thing is rare in the world, where can we find it?"

"No need to look for it..." Ding Xiu smiled and took out a jade stone that exuded flame luster and was shaped like a phoenix eye.

"This is..." Uncle Jiu's eyes widened and he blurted out: "The legendary phoenix courage?"

Yes, this is the Muchen Bead that Ding Xiu took away from Pingshan World.

This thing is not unique to the Pingshan world. It exists in ancient myths and legends, and is generally called Phoenix Gallbladder.

According to legend, this was a gift from heaven when the Yellow Emperor offered sacrifices to heaven, and some said it was the aura of the ancient phoenix.

But no matter what kind of legend it is, phoenix gallbladder is a rare treasure in the world that can be encountered but cannot be found, and it is the first-class yang thing in heaven and earth.

It was precisely because of this strange stone that Ding Xiu could confidently talk about dispelling the demonic energy of the demonic infant.

In other words, it was to completely wipe out the demon baby.

With this phoenix courage, Uncle Jiu finally saw hope. He immediately ran to find Dalong in the courtyard and asked him to quickly send someone to Renjia Town to deliver a letter.

After a night of soaking, although Dalong's corpse poison was not completely resolved, it was quite effective and made him feel much more relaxed.

When Qiu Sheng received the letter, he opened it and did not dare to neglect. He immediately prepared all the things according to the list listed in the letter, and came to the Marshal's Mansion with Wen Cai.

When it got dark, Uncle Jiu set up a magic circle in the open space outside the Marshal's Mansion.

Dalong also summoned more than a hundred of his men, fully armed, and stood around the magic circle.

This was Uncle Jiu's idea. These soldiers were quite murderous, and combined with the effect of the magic circle, it was thought to be enough to suppress the demon infant's arrogance.

Of course, these arrangements are ultimately to assist Ding Xiu.

The protagonist tonight is not Uncle Jiu, but Ding Xiu.

Michelin was lying on a bamboo chair in the middle of the magic circle, his eyes a little uneasy.

"Ma'am, it's okay, don't worry."

Ding Xiu smiled and comforted.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Michelian smiled hard.

Soon after, the magic circle started to activate. Ding Xiu sat cross-legged, then took out the phoenix gallbladder and placed it on Michelin's navel, while his hand gently pressed against the surface of the phoenix gallbladder.

This is done, firstly, to allow the yang energy of the Phoenix Courage to suppress the Demon Infant, and secondly, to use the Beiming Divine Art.

The Beiming Divine Skill is originally a martial arts secret book. One of its characteristics is that it absorbs people's skills and then converts them into Beiming's true energy for its own use.

Ding Xiu majored in the Changchun Kung Fu, and the Beiming Divine Kung Fu evolved from the Changchun Kung Fu, so he was naturally more comfortable with it.

His intention to perform the Beiming Divine Art was extremely crazy, as he actually wanted to absorb the demonic energy of the demonic infant.

This is actually a bit risky. If you are not careful, you may be assimilated by the demonic energy and fall into the devil's path.

However, Ding Xiu has confidence in his own strength. After all, his potential is much higher than that of a normal person. As long as his spirit and soul are strong enough, he can suppress the demonic energy and transform it into true energy for his own use.

Of course, he didn't tell Uncle Jiu about this move. If Uncle Jiu knew about it, he would definitely not agree.

After a while, a sharp scream suddenly came from the night sky, which sounded like the voice of a baby or the howl of a night owl.

Uncle Jiu's face was stern, knowing that the demon infant was beginning to resist, he immediately chanted spells to stabilize the magic circle in order to suppress the power of the demon infant.

Ding Xiu used all his strength to activate the Beiming Divine Art, continuously absorbing the power of the demon infant.

The demonic infant has not yet fully formed, and is suppressed by the power of the magic circle and the phoenix guts. In addition, there are thousands of dragon's subordinates around the magic circle. Under the confinement of the three levels of power, it is not only angry but also angry. There is no way to rush out and fight.

Its power is constantly draining away like a floodgate opening, and its screams are getting weaker and weaker.

After about a cup of tea, its cry disappeared.

During this process, Ding Xiu seemed a little uncomfortable, with a cold sweat and a faint black mist steaming slightly above his head.

This was different from absorbing other people's inner energy before. After all, it was pure demonic energy, and the amount was not small. It made Ding Xiu feel as if he had fallen into a thousand-year ice cellar, and his whole body was as cold as ice.

Fortunately, Phoenix Dangers has always maintained a lukewarm state, and coupled with his excellent physique, he can barely hold on.

Uncle Jiu caught his eye and knew something was wrong, but he wanted to maintain the operation of the magic circle and did not dare to stop distractedly.

After another cup of tea, Ding Xiu took off the phoenix gallbladder, looking tired.

"Okay Uncle Jiu, the evil spirit has been resolved. I'll adjust my breath first."

"Oh, go ahead." Uncle Jiu subconsciously replied.

Ding Xiu hurriedly walked out of the Marshal's Mansion and went to the back mountain to find a secluded place to meditate and adjust his breath.

After all, he has absorbed too much demonic energy and must convert it into true energy as soon as possible, otherwise big problems will easily occur.

At noon the next day, Ding Xiu looked surprised and subconsciously called up the golden finger interface:
Name: Ding Xiu

Potential development degree: 20.6%
Boundary: Qi Refining Seventh Floor

Special props: storage bag (lower grade)
Current plane: Uncle Nine series world (New Mr. Zombie)
World Progress: 43%
Before this, Ding Xiu was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but he broke through to the seventh level overnight, which was naturally surprising.

It seems that I have only broken through a small realm, but in fact I have taken a big step forward.

The Qi refining stage is a major realm, which is subdivided into nine minor realms.This nine-level minor realm is divided into three stages, namely the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage.

The first, second and third levels are the initial stage. This stage is entry-level. There is almost no threshold. As long as you work hard, you can gradually improve even if your talent is poor.

Starting from the fourth level, it is the middle stage, which is a hurdle. However, this hurdle is not high. It is easy to break through with a little talent.

Once you reach the seventh level, there is another hurdle. It belongs to the late stage of Qi refining. This hurdle is not so easy to overcome.

Of course, this is only for ordinary immortal cultivators.

Ding Xiu has the blessing of a golden finger, and his physique, spirit, understanding, etc. are far beyond ordinary people. Naturally, there is no threshold for the mere Qi refining realm.

But it wasn't long since he last broke through the sixth level of Qi refining, and now he has entered the late stage of Qi refining, which is naturally very gratifying.

The important thing is that he didn't expect that he would successfully open the Zi Mansion.

Purple Mansion is a major characteristic of immortal cultivators, and its original meaning is the palace where immortals live.

But in Taoism, it is extended to a special existence, also called Shangdantian, Niwan, Qiongshi, Yujingshan, etc.

Its location is between the eyebrows, which is similar to opening up an independent space in the human body.

Under normal circumstances, immortal cultivators must reach the second major realm of "refining qi and transforming into gods" before they can open the Purple Mansion.

After opening the Zi Mansion, you can have a mysterious magical power: spiritual consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness, also called divine consciousness by some, is a necessary magical power for cultivators of immortality.

It has many functions, such as being able to sense the surrounding environment or some subtle energy fluctuations through spiritual consciousness. The higher the level, the wider the range of its perception.

For another example, immortal cultivators can use spiritual consciousness to communicate with each other, and use spiritual consciousness to control true energy, control magic weapons, etc.

The improvement in relative realm and the unintentional opening up of the sea of ​​consciousness was what surprised Ding Xiu the most.

He tested it and found that the current spiritual perception range was about a hundred meters in radius. Of course, this was when the surrounding area was relatively open.

If there are many obstacles, such as in a densely built area, the effect may be affected.

When he returned to the Marshal's Mansion, Uncle Jiu had packed up and was ready to rush back to Renjia Town.

Firstly, he was relieved that Michelin was fine. Secondly, he had to rush back to watch Sister Fang's play. If he missed it tonight, he would never see it again.

That night.

Renjia Town was more lively than ever before, and the stage was packed with people.

If they can't stand any longer, some people simply climb up a tree or even onto the roof, just to take a look from a distance.

Uncle Jiu and Ding Xiu were okay. Although they arrived a little late, the theater troupe specially reserved seats for them. They sat under the stage and drank tea while waiting for the show to start.Soon after, there was a burst of gongs and drums. Before Sister Fang came on stage, she first let out a long drawl, which attracted a burst of applause.

For Sister Fang, this performance is of great significance, as it is like her first performance on stage.

Therefore, she was extremely dedicated, as if she wanted to leave the most brilliant moment of her life on this stage.

But what people didn't expect was that just as the opera was about to reach its climax, Sister Fang suddenly screamed and stepped back, as if she had seen something terrible.

"snake!"

"So many snakes!"

Then, there was a commotion on and off the stage.

In fact, not only snakes, but also many scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos appeared on the scene. Adding snakes, they made up the five poisons that made Zhi Tan's expression change.

"Someone messed up!"

Uncle Jiu stood up with a gloomy face and glanced around.

"what!"

At this time, another scream came from the stage.

It turned out that Sister Fang wanted to run off the stage in panic, only to find that she was surrounded by poisonous insects, which had already surrounded her.

She was not a weak woman who had no opinions when things happened, but being surrounded by so many snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos would make a man, let alone a woman, terrified.

The theater troupe had already rushed off the stage, leaving only Sister Fang, whose beauty had faded.

At this time, a figure flew up from the stage to the high stage like a shooting star and landed next to her.

Before she could regain her senses, she felt her body light up and flew off the stage in the blink of an eye.

Under the stage, it was also a mess.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters. How could so many poisonous insects suddenly appear for no reason?And the scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos are all alive?

Someone must be doing something secretly.

"Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, look at Sister Fang..." Ding Xiu ordered, then jumped up and flew to the roof above the stage like a bird.

Stand tall and see far.

Although it was night, it did not hinder Ding Xiu's sight, and he quickly discovered the source of the poisonous insects.

All this was caused by a guy named Ma Hu invited by Shi Dajin.

This person is good at witchcraft and voodoo arts spread in southern Xinjiang. This time he received a lot of money from Shi Dajin and made a special trip to Renjia Town to deal with Ding Xiu. He also wanted to kill Sister Fang.

This old guy was very cunning. He hid in the dark and set up the Five Poison Formation while Sister Fang was performing on stage. He thought he was unaware of it, but unexpectedly he met a tough opponent this time.

Shi Dajin and his master were sitting on one side and couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard the commotion coming from outside.

However, Shi Dajin was still a little uneasy and said to Ma Hu: "Master, that boy named Ding may not be scary, but there is an expert behind him. People in the town call him Uncle Jiu. It is said that he has great magic power. "

"Hmph!" Mahu snorted disdainfully: "It's just that the common people have never seen a real master. As long as I'm here, they will definitely..."

"What must it be?"

At this time, a cold voice came.

"Who?"

Mahu glanced around anxiously.

"Boy, is it you again?"

Shi Dajin finally saw the person coming clearly and couldn't help but shouted angrily.

The person who came was none other than Ding Xiu.

"Haha..." Ma Hu glanced at Ding Xiu with a contemptuous look, smiled coldly, and said something that villains often say: "There is a road to heaven that you can't take, but there is no door to hell. You just barged in. Today, I will definitely Let you die without a burial!"

The master looked excited: "Yes, yes, master, kill him quickly!"

"Ama, ama, ama..." Ma Hu began to chant a mantra.

But he didn't know that Ding Xiu was very angry at this time, and he had murderous intent.

"Dawei Tianlong!"

A loud shout sounded in the night sky.

"Dawei Tianlong..."

The lingering sound echoed in the air, and almost everyone in Renjia Town heard it.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a huge roar, like an earthquake.

This move of the Mighty Heavenly Dragon is actually the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, but it has been improved by Ding Xiu, and the eighteen palms have been extremely simplified into one palm.

Its power has far exceeded the scope of martial arts. Gravel and mud flew all over the sky, and a large pit about two to three feet wide and about ten feet deep appeared on the ground.

As for Nama Hu, Shi Dajin, and Master Shiye, they had turned into countless pieces of meat, mixed in the mud and dust at the bottom of the pit.

As soon as Ma Hu died, all those poisonous insects quickly escaped.

However, after this incident, the people were panicked and Sister Fang was in shock. Naturally, the play could not be performed, which left a regret in the hearts of Sister Fang and all the theater fans.

Silent night.

In a room of the inn, Sister Fang and Ding Xiu were sitting at a small table, drinking and chatting.

In fact, Ding Xiu barely spoke, just quietly listening to Sister Fang talk about her past, what happened when she was a child, what happened after she joined the county theater troupe, and what happened after she became a disciple of Liu Yusheng...

During this period, there was pain and joy, sadness and joy, laughter and tears.

When she talked about her master Liu Yusheng, Ding Xiu asked in detail. Sister Fang didn't pay attention and told some things about her master without any concealment.

When the conversation was almost over, Ding Xiu stood up and left.

Sister Fang walked to the door, but suddenly threw herself into his arms, murmuring: "I'm so scared to be alone, can you stay with me?"

You see, she was a weak woman who was frightened, and she needed comfort most at this time.

So how could Ding Xiu have the heart to refuse?

Cherishing flowers and cherishing jade is the true nature of a man!
I don’t know how long it took, but Sister Fang murmured from the room: "Ding Lang..."

The night passed.

The next morning.

Sister Fang had a rosy face and a lazy expression. She rested her head on Ding Xiu's chest, listening to the beating of her heart like a drum.

Her mind is a little messed up.

Although she was in Liyuan, she had always kept herself clean. In addition, her master Liu Yusheng still had some connections and reputation in the provincial capital, so no one dared to use force on her.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Renjia Town, he was almost succeeded by the father and son of the Shi family.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu saved her.

She once liked someone, but that was many years ago, and the relationship has long since faded.After that, she never had a crush on any man again.

But after meeting Ding Xiu, her heart rippled again.

She couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, was it gratitude or love?Or both?
She couldn't think clearly, so she didn't bother to think too much. She would soon leave Renjia Town and return to the provincial capital. Then she would marry into the Chen family and face the man who couldn't even take care of himself and whose intelligence was only equivalent to that of a two or three-year-old. Husband of child.

She is not reconciled!

Therefore, when Ding Xiu said goodbye and left, she could no longer control her feelings and decided to indulge once before leaving and live for herself.

Ding Xiu stroked her hair softly, eyes slightly closed, as if intoxicated by the intoxicating fragrance.

"what?"

Sister Fang suddenly discovered something strange and strange. She couldn't help but raise her head and asked with surprise: "Why is your heartbeat so slow?"

Generally speaking, a person's heartbeat has a certain frequency, which is normally between sixty and one hundred.

Sister Fang may not be aware of this, but Ding Xiu's heartbeat is really weird and surprisingly slow. It would be estimated that a normal person's heartbeat would only beat once every two or three times.

This is not an illusion. Ding Xiu's heartbeat is indeed very slow, estimated to be around 1 per minute.

This is not because there is something wrong with his body, but because of his cultivation, when he enters meditation retreat, he can even only jump a few times per minute.

There is also a strange skill in the world called Turtle Breathing Skill, which can stop your heartbeat for an hour or two, as if you were dead.

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "This is the reason for practicing martial arts."

Sister Fang asked curiously: "Does the slower the heartbeat, the better?"

Ding Xiu shook his head: "This is not necessarily true, it depends on the person. But theoretically speaking, leaving aside humans, in the animal world, animals with faster heartbeats die faster.

For example, a mouse’s heart beats hundreds of times a minute, so it dies quickly, but a turtle’s heart beats twenty or thirty times a minute, and its lifespan is much longer..."

"Have you studied medicine?"

"Well, I learned some..."

While chatting, the room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Sister Fang broke the silence and murmured: "I am going back to the provincial capital, and I don't know if...if I will still have a chance to see the young master in this life."

Ding Xiu smiled: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance."

Sister Fang also smiled: "That's good..."

In fact, her smile at this time was sad, and she only thought that Ding Xiu was comforting her.

Once she marries into the Chen family's high-end compound, she will probably lose even her basic freedom, like a bird in a golden cage.

Three days later.

Sister Fang returned to the provincial capital.

At this time, the Chen family had prepared everything and was just waiting to marry her.

In fact, given the reputation and financial resources of the Chen family in the provincial capital, and the fact that Chen Dong is the only son in the family, the wedding should be full of guests and be a grand affair worthy of his status.

But the strange thing is that the Chen family is very low-key and does not distribute a single wedding note.

As a result, it naturally aroused many people's comments, which could be said to be ridicule or jealousy.

After all, Chen Dong is a fool, but he married a beauty like Sister Fang. He is really like a flower stuck in cow dung.

At the same time, many people were secretly talking about Liu Yusheng.

Speaking of Liu Yusheng, his reputation in the provincial capital is not small. He is recognized as the Liyuan Master, and many dignitaries also respect him.

However, many people did not understand why he decided to marry Sister Fang to the Chen family.

Whether it was to repay a favor or for some other reason, people had some bad impressions of him and thought he was too selfish.

There are many ways to repay a favor, why must you sacrifice the happiness of your disciple's life?

It can be seen that this old guy is not a good bird. He looks sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact he is just a hypocrite.
