After the Skyfall

Chapter 499: Heart Fire Refining True Gold

Li Yi was hiding in the cave of the purple gold gourd at the moment. Although he was shielded from the outside world, he could still infer some conditions outside through the situation of the purple gold gourd. The situation was indeed dangerous at the beginning, and the temperature of the small cave world in the purple gold gourd rose sharply.

But as the temperature faded, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the purple gold gourd doesn't melt, it will be fine. Otherwise, if he is exposed again, he will be doomed.

About an hour passed.

There was still no movement outside, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

However, Li Yi was still not in a hurry to leave here. He wanted to wait for the giant dragon to fall asleep again, and he also needed to make the spirit of the golden apple tree believe that it had been melted by the dragon flame. Only in this way could he find a chance to escape.

"Let's just wait and see after a few days. Anyway, I've already picked the golden apple, and my goal this time has been achieved. I have plenty of time to slowly kill off the dragons and tree spirits outside." Li Yi was very cautious. He simply stayed in the purple gold gourd. Anyway, he had all the supplies and no worries about food and drink.

At this time, he took out a golden apple from the Five Elements Bracelet.

It feels heavy in the hand, as if it were made of gold, and it exudes an irresistible and tempting fragrance that makes people want to take a bite and taste what it tastes like.

Li Yi stared at the golden apple in his hand and finally suppressed his inner impulse. He then looked at the strange beast, Shan Yi, who was recuperating in the cave of the purple gold gourd.

"Old rules, you eat first." He strode up to the seriously injured Shan Yi, and then generously handed over the golden apple in his hand.

Shan Yi was previously parasitized by the black hair hanging down from the dark sky, causing half of his body to be destroyed. Although Xuan Yuezi cast a spell to stabilize his injuries and there was no risk of death, his blood and flesh essence was taken away, and his breath was extremely weak at the moment. It would take a long time for him to recover, even with the physique of an alien beast.

Shan Yi looked at the golden apple in Li Yi's hand. He was also attracted by the tempting fragrance. Without any hesitation, he leaned over and swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Li Yi slowly took a few steps back. He wanted to observe the changes in Shan Yi after he ate the golden apple.

He didn't dare to eat anything from this dark world. Just like the Time Pill before, he needed someone to help test the medicine before he dared to take it. If he accidentally ate something bad and died, it would be so unfair.

And it doesn’t matter even if he wastes one golden apple. Li Yi still has seven in his hand, enough for his own use.

Once you eat the golden apple.

Something miraculous happened.

Shan Yi's whole body was emitting a faint golden light. Under this golden light, a dark aura was dispelled from his body. At the same time, he couldn't help opening his mouth to vomit, and actually vomited out a bunch of hair. The bunch of black hair was crawling and wriggling on the ground like a living thing.

"Is there any black hair that hasn't been cleaned up?" Li Yi's face changed when he saw this.

Then, he saw a crack in the black hair ball, and a strange eyeball covered with bloodshot came out. It seemed very angry, and it jumped up and quickly shot out, trying to parasitize on Li Yi's body.

But Shan Yi let out a cry, and his sharp claws fell down, stepping on the strange ball of hair under his feet. Along with the emanation of golden light, a strange energy spread, and the black ball of hair began to quickly lose its vitality, and then shriveled up with a weird scream.

This evil little thing seemed to be dead, and its black hair quickly withered, then turned into a puff of black smoke and completely disappeared.

"The golden apple can really wash away the curse of the evil god." Li Yi took a look, and now he could confirm the first effect of the golden apple.

Afterwards, he saw that Shan Yi's previous wounds were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. New flesh, blood, and bones grew out, and his skin and scales were restored. In just a dozen seconds, he was completely recovered, and his aura was also rapidly getting stronger.

In less than a minute, Shan Yi's lethargy was swept away and it returned to its peak condition.

Shanyi let out a loud cry and flapped its wings, looking very happy.

"Not only can it dispel the curse, but it can also regenerate flesh and heal injuries immediately. Let's observe for a while to see what other effects it has." Li Yi continued to observe.

He felt that the golden apple should have more effects than just that.

Because the golden apple tree grows on a giant dragon, and its fruit is produced by absorbing the dragon's blood and essence. If it were just that, it would be a bit disappointing.

soon.

Li Yi noticed that Shan Yi was not only glowing with golden light, but even his scales, claws, and skin seemed to be affected by some kind of power, and began to turn golden all over. At the same time, a special aura emanated from him. This aura was sacred and immortal, and carried the power to destroy all evil.

"This is the power of blood."

He felt the fluctuation of this power, there was no doubt that it was the power of blood.

After eating the golden apple, Shan Yi gained the blood power of the dragon, just like when Li Yi awakened the blood of the god.

Moreover, Shan Yi's body seemed to have undergone some changes. It had awakened some of the abilities of the giant dragon. At this moment, it let out a cry and opened its mouth, and actually spewed out a light golden flame. The temperature of this flame was equally astonishing. Although not as high as that of the giant dragon outside, it could still burn a Jindan cultivator. It was extremely domineering.

"So that's how it is. Is the golden apple similar to the god fruit? After eating it, you will obtain the dragon bloodline, and at the same time, your body and strength will get a qualitative leap. The tree spirit was right. After eating the golden apple, you can gain strength, power, wealth, and status. As for luck, it makes sense in this world."

"With the blessing of this dragon bloodline, the evil things and monsters in the darkness will not dare to approach you. Your luck will naturally be good."

Just when I was thinking like this here.

Suddenly, Shanyi opened its mouth again and spit out something like a golden melon seed.

That is a seed.

After it ate the golden apple, a seed was left behind that could not be digested.

"Seeds of the golden apple." Li Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately collected the seeds. He thought that these seeds might be useful in the future.

After understanding the effects of the golden apple, he then took out another golden apple.

However, he did not intend to eat it directly, because he had already obtained the blood of the gods and did not want to obtain the blood of the dragon. While avoiding blood conflicts, it was also to maintain the purity of the blood of the gods. After all, in terms of the upper limit, the blood of the gods was still a little higher.

"The Great Method of Gathering Qi from Heaven and Earth." At this moment, Li Yi was making hand gestures, practicing Taoism, and trying to absorb the power from the golden apple.

His method of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth can absorb the energy of heaven and earth, the essence of all living things, and plunder all vitality.

The plump golden apple shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then golden light poured into Li Yi's body. Although his body surface was also emitting golden light, he could not feel the emergence of blood power, because his Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Method only collected the essence of Qi.

As Li Yi swallowed this breath, a puff of black smoke immediately emerged from the back of his hand. Then his evil god's curse was dispelled by this sacred breath. At the same time, he also felt a majestic and pure five elements gold energy.

"Alright, let's take this opportunity to swallow this golden energy and see if we can reach the second level of the Five Qi Realm."

Li Yi immediately took this opportunity to practice. The Five Qi Realm emphasizes swallowing the five qi, and the five qi refer to metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Previously, Li Yi absorbed the fire qi and entered the heart. According to the experience of most practitioners, the next step is to absorb the water qi and enter the kidney. This way, water and fire can work together, yin and yang can be harmonized, and it is easier to succeed.

Of course, there is another method of practice, which is to reverse the five elements, use the fire of the heart to refine the gold of the lungs, reach the point where the heart fire refines real gold, and thus break through to the second level of the Five Qi Realm.

There are benefits to practicing both. The practice of combining water and fire can increase a person's lifespan, strengthen the body, and restore youth.

The practice of refining real gold with heart fire is useless for prolonging life, but it is good for killing and has the strongest combat power. If you can refine a mouthful of real gold and use Taoism, you will be invincible.

Li Yi was originally thinking about absorbing water vapor and entering the kidney, but since the opportunity was here, he didn't care about that anymore.

"Open the lung orifice and absorb the golden energy." He adjusted his qi and blood, and the divine blood in his body emitted a silver light, and now quickly gathered at the lung orifice.

There were no acupoints here, but Li Yi visualized the fighting methods of the gods and comprehended 365 acupoints, so he forced open the lung acupoint and lit up some stars in the human body.

However, it takes more than one day to become enlightened.

He swallowed this essence of golden energy into his lungs, slowly collecting and refining it, while also regulating his qi and blood to try to open up the acupoints.

Dual-purpose.

Although it is a bit difficult, Li Yi is not without experience. There are still some things he can learn from the twelve major acupoints he opened up before.

"The Qi and blood are insufficient, and the divine blood is not nurtured enough. This thirteenth acupoint is difficult to open."

Li Yi immediately discovered the bottleneck. He had accumulated too little, his body was short of divine blood, and his evolutionary degree was not enough. It was still unrealistic for him to open up the lung orifices in one go and reach the level of refining true gold with heart fire. After all, he had only broken through the first level of the Five Qi Realm not long ago.

It is very difficult to make a breakthrough in such a short time.

Unless you take the Age Pill.

But Li Yi hesitated.

Because he was not fully prepared, he was unable to maximize the effectiveness of the Time Pill.

At least he needs Xuan Yuezi by his side, so that Xuan Yuezi can cast spells to subdue dragons and tigers, infuse cosmic energy into him, and promote the evolution of his body.

Now the cosmic energy in the purple gold gourd is insufficient to support Li Yi's practice.

"Forget it, I can't care about that. If I lose the Time Pill, I can still go to Xuanxian Continent to get it. But this golden apple is a rare treasure. It would be a pity to waste it."

Li Yi simply gritted his teeth, took out the Time Pill and ate it directly.

A Time Pill can shorten your lifespan by ten years, but in return, you will also accumulate ten years of experience in a short period of time.

After taking the Time Pill.

He immediately felt the energy and blood in his body boiling, and then began to quickly dry up. At the same time, the silver divine blood was also increasing at an unimaginable speed.

Fortunately, Li Yi was prepared. He grabbed a handful of Spirit Blood Pills from the Five Elements Bracelet and swallowed them.

With the infusion of huge amounts of qi and blood, his just shriveled body became strong again.

Qi and blood are still being consumed crazily, and the body is aging, but in return there is an increase in divine blood and the evolution of genes.

do not forget.

Li Yi himself is also a genetic warrior. Genes just need time to settle. As long as there is enough time, you can easily reach the pinnacle of a genetic warrior.

Unfortunately, there is not enough cosmic energy here.

His body was unable to evolve, wasting some of the effectiveness of the Time Pill.

"The thirteenth acupoint has been sensed."

Li Yi felt that the twelve major acupoints in front of him were filled with silver divine blood. At this time, he adjusted his qi and blood, condensed the remaining divine blood into one place, and tried to open the lung acupoint.

At the beginning, the divine blood is not gathered enough, and it lacks strength as soon as it is opened up. Under normal circumstances, the practice must be interrupted at this time.

However, with the blessing of the Time Pill, his divine blood was quickly replenished, and as the divine blood continued to flow in, his entire body was glowing with silver light, which gave him the confidence to break through in one breath.

"The divine blood opens the lungs, and the heart fire refines true gold."

Li Yi felt that the time had come, and he let out a long roar. A certain acupoint in his body was opened, and it was successful at once. It was obvious that the blessing of the Time Pill had allowed him to make up for the problem of insufficient accumulation, allowing him to open the thirteenth acupoint easily.

Then the divine blood entered his body, the golden energy returned to its place, the fire in his heart was refined, and his lungs emitted a golden light that echoed the fire in his heart.

But at this moment, the fire is strong and the metal is weak. Because there are twelve heart fire acupoints, if he wants to reach the second level of the Five Qi Realm, he must open at least twelve acupoints to accommodate the metal energy. Similarly, he must also have twelve kidney acupoints to receive water energy, twelve liver acupoints to receive wood energy, and twelve spleen acupoints to receive earth energy.

Only in this way can the five elements be balanced. Otherwise, once the five elements are out of balance, at the moment when the five elements converge in the future, his soul will be destroyed by the unbalanced five elements, and he will die.

Great power comes at a price.

Therefore, if Li Yi wants to break through to the Five Qis Converging to Origin, he has to open up a total of sixty acupoints, otherwise he will never be able to open the three flowers on the top of the head.

To open up sixty acupoints, it would take at least several hundred years. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to achieve the Five Qis and Three Flowers Converging at the Top of the Head after his life span was exhausted.

But now Li Yi has a shortcut.

That is to take the Age Pill to consume lifespan to accumulate divine blood and open up acupoints, and then take the Longevity Pill to extend lifespan and replenish the Qi of the Five Elements.

But now, Li Yi no longer had the Time Pill in his hand, and the efficacy of the Time Pill was rapidly dissipating. The increase in the divine blood in his body slowed down, and the fourteenth acupoint was no longer able to be opened up.

But at least the thirteen major acupoints have been filled with the silver essence of the divine blood, and there is still some left. Similarly, a lot of the huge golden energy brought by the golden apple has also been wasted.

Although it is a pity.

But at least Li Yi's strength has improved a bit, and he is more confident in dealing with the dangers outside.
