Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 121 Golden Brain Pill (4000 words, updated once due to illness)
Without taking the human brain pill, a Jindan stage cultivator can only last about 6 hours at most in the evil Buddha and devil land.

So when another 3 hours passed, into the 5th hour of the trial, some monks began to be unable to hold on any longer.

'Boom'!
at last.

Accompanied by a slight sound, Xie Shen observed that a cultivator had been thrown out of the room by the Taoist master.

This sound seemed like some kind of signal.

Soon, more and more monks were seen being thrown out of the house by the Taoist master.

After being eliminated, some monks wanted to leave.

But the Taoist master reminded: "People outside the house, don't leave in a hurry, you will have another chance later."

Is there still a chance?
Since the Taoist master said so, those eliminated monks naturally rekindled their hope.

They sat cross-legged on the ground and waited quietly.
...

time flies.

There is still about an hour left before the end of the trial.

In the last hour, the Taoist master was like a patient teacher. He explained to everyone: "A long, long time ago, about 1 years ago, there were no practitioners in this world."

"Until one day, the indescribable creatures 'Buddha' and 'Tao' descended into our world one after another."

“Thus, the world began to have extraordinary powers, and practitioners began to appear.”

Extraordinary power comes from indescribable creatures?

house.

After hearing what the Taoist master said, a tall and thin monk immediately looked puzzled and asked, "Isn't the black mist that we monks absorb on a daily basis emitted from mortals? How did it become related to indescribable creatures?"

The Taoist master explained: "More than 4000 years ago, when the indescribable creatures 'Buddha' and 'Tao' had not yet appeared, when we humans felt pain, black mist would not be produced. Later, when they appeared, black mist began to appear."

“So it’s no exaggeration.”

"Everything extraordinary in our world comes from the indescribable!"

The Taoist Master continued: "Anyway, I have said so much just to make you understand one thing."

"That is"

"The process of a monk's cultivation is essentially stealing the extraordinary power of indescribable creatures!"

“And then there are side effects in this process.”

"To put it simply, the more extraordinary powers you steal, the more deeply you will be affected by the indescribable creatures."

"You can think of this influence as pollution, assimilation, and corrosion."

"Anyway, it's up to you to describe it any way you want."

"As long as you understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, the tall and thin monk who had just talked to the Taoist master immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

He followed the Taoist master's words and said, "No wonder the cultivators would go astray after absorbing too much black mist. It turns out that they were affected by the indescribable creatures!"

The Taoist master followed up, “So the practice of a cultivator is like dancing on the edge of a knife.”

"We may be contaminated by unspeakable organisms at any time."

"During the foundation-building stage, you can also take human brain pills to offset this pollution."

"But after reaching the Golden Core Stage, the Human Brain Pill gradually loses its effect."

"So at this time, the monks can only rely on themselves."

The Taoist master concluded: "So if a Jindan-stage cultivator wants to break through, the most important thing is not aptitude and understanding, but whether he can resist the pollution of indescribable creatures!"

"I see." The tall and thin monk said thoughtfully, "That's why Senior Yinglong brought us to this room."

"The purpose is to test whether we can withstand the pollution from unknown creatures."

“Only those who can resist the pollution, and only those who can persist longer in the evil Buddha and devil land, will have greater potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.”

"That's right." The Taoist Master nodded and said, "In short, only those with greater potential are qualified to obtain the secret method passed down by our Taoist sect and then break through to the Nascent Soul stage. As for those with less potential, it would be a waste of effort for them to obtain the secret method."

Conversation room.

As the monks became more and more polluted, several more people were thrown out of the house by the Taoist master.

This includes Xie Shen and Bu Tianran.

In the end, there were only five Jindan stage cultivators left on the field.

Failing to pass the trial made Xie Shen feel a sense of loss.

And it's not just him.

Bu Tianran and other eliminated monks also looked distraught.

But just when everyone was feeling discouraged.

house.

The Taoist master's voice came out slowly: "Those cultivators who were eliminated in the first round of trials can also participate in the second round of trials."

"If your results in the second round are good enough, you will also be eligible to obtain the secret method passed down by my Taoist sect."

This statement came out.

A glimmer of hope was rekindled in the hearts of everyone, including Xie Shen.

next second.

The Taoist master led the five people who passed the first round of trials out of the house.

In front of all the monks present, he tapped the storage bag on his waist and took out a large bronze tripod from it.

Then, the Taoist master transferred a small amount of black mist into the cauldron.

Lean less.

A black shadow appeared from the cauldron and asked, "Is everything done?"

"It's done." The Taoist master's answer was concise and clear: "Come over, the second round of trials is about to begin."

"OK, wait."

After the black shadow replied, it quickly disappeared from the cauldron.

Halfway up the mountain.

Xie Shen and others waited there for nearly a quarter of an hour, when they suddenly saw a man in a monk's robe slowly descending from the sky.

And the same as the master.

Every move of this monk seemed to be shrouded in a fog, making it impossible to see his depth and level of cultivation.

Obviously, this is also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Plus, the other party was wearing a monk's robe.
If nothing unexpected happens, I think this monk should be the Buddha of Buddhism.

In front of the Buddha, some monks who were familiar with him all bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Senior Shanfan."

So, the Buddha's Dharma name is "Shanfan"?

After hearing this, Xie Shen also hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Facing everyone's gaze, the Buddha smiled and said, "No need to be so particular."

"Like Fellow Daoist Yinglong, I am also a relatively casual person on weekdays."

"Briefly tell me about the contents of the second round of trials."

The Buddha said calmly: "If the first round of trials is to test your physical fitness, it is to test your resistance to indescribable biological pollution."

"Then the second round of trials will test your willpower."

"The second round of trials will be held at the top of the mountain."

"Everyone, please follow me."

After saying this, the Buddha turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the top of the mountain like lightning. When the Taoist saw this, he also turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

——Flying with light is a more advanced flying technique, and its speed is more than ten times that of Feng Xu's flying with wind.

This magical power can only be mastered by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Xie Shen and other Jindan stage cultivators who were a beat slower could only follow the Buddha and Taoist masters from a distance.

During the flight.

Li Xiu used the combat power detector to say to Xie Shen: "What the Taoist just said reminded me of a place on Earth that is very similar to the Evil Buddha Demon Land."

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen subconsciously asked, "Are you talking about the bloody land in Antarctica?"

"good."

Li Xiu followed up and said, "You should still remember, right?"

“When the Flesh and Blood Land first appeared on the Antarctic continent, it was only a palm-sized piece.”

"But as time went on, it started to spread like crazy."

“Now it covers the entire continent of Antarctica.”

Li Xiu gave a direct conclusion: "I suspect that the Flesh and Blood Land is just like the Evil Buddha Land, both of which are pollution spread on the planet by indescribable creatures."

"So, the sealing formation that the Buddha and the Taoist master worked out together is really important to us."

"With that formation, we can stop the Fleshland from spreading across the Earth."

"It's difficult." Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "If I want to learn the sealing formation, I must become the focus of training for the Taoist sect."

“But the problem is.”

"I just failed the first round of trials, which means I'm already lagging behind."

“I’m afraid there’s little hope for follow-up.”

"It's okay." Li Xiu comforted him casually: "Just do your best."

The speed of Jindan stage cultivators is not as fast as that of Yuanying stage cultivators.

But that is only relative after all.

In fact, it took the monks less than 2 minutes to fly from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain behind the Taoist headquarters, there is also a huge house built with bricks and stones.

The entrance to the house.

You can see the Taoist master and the Buddha standing there waiting for Xie Shen and his group.

After all the monks landed from the air, the Taoist master took the lead, pushed the door open, and walked into the huge brick and stone house.

Compared to the previous house, the floor of this house was not dyed black.

But Xie Shen discovered:
In the four corners of the room, there are black Buddha statues carved from marble.

——Those black Buddha statues are exactly the same as the black Buddhas transformed from the black fog aggregate.

Seeing this scene, Xie Shen couldn't help but be stunned.

However, the Taoist master explained to the monks present: "The black Buddha statue in this room is a derivative of an indescribable creature, and it is very powerful."

"Not only can they use the Black Buddha Palm to fight the enemy, but they can also release the Brahma sound from their bodies, dragging everyone within a certain range into the illusion."

"Then the content of the second round of trials is to resist the Sanskrit sounds emitted by these four black Buddha statues."

"Those who can hold on to the end and not be dragged into the illusion will be considered to have passed the trial."

The statues in this room.
Its true form is actually the black Buddha? !
After learning the content of the second round of trials, Xie Shen felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

——Because of this trial, he can cheat.

He possessed the 'positive six-word mantra' taught by Li Xiu, which was just enough to counter the 'negative six-word mantra' issued by the Black Buddha.

After realizing this, Xie Shen’s confidence increased greatly.

Although he did not pass the first round of trials, as long as he performed well enough in this round, he would still have a chance to obtain the Taoist inheritance.

The method to activate the Black Buddha Statue is very simple.

house.

The Taoist master waved his hand and released four streams of black mist, which then disappeared into the four black Buddha statues.

Soon, bursts of Sanskrit sounds came out from the four black Buddha statues.

——Compared to the real black Buddha, the sound of the statue is obviously much smaller, and at best it can only affect the entire room.

As soon as the Sanskrit sound sounded, the Taoist master reminded the monks around him: "Hurry, sit cross-legged, keep your mind focused, and hold on as long as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the monks sat cross-legged on the ground as he was told.

at the same time.

Xie Shen secretly recited the "Six-Character Mantra" in his heart to counter the Sanskrit sound emitted by the black Buddha statue.

that's it.

Time passes by every second.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The Taoist master in the room suddenly made some movement.

He waved his hand and sent out five streams of black mist, which flew towards the five people who had just passed the first round of assessment.

With the blessing of the black mist from the Nascent Soul cultivator, the five people immediately looked much more relaxed.

One of the monks looked puzzled and asked: "Master, what are you doing?"

The Taoist master said calmly: "In fact, from the very beginning, there was no so-called second round of trials."

"When you pass the first round, you will be considered as the Jindan-stage cultivators that our sect will focus on training."

"The Taoist master brought us to this house for a reason..." the monk asked immediately.

The Taoist master explained: "Of course it's for refining medicine."

"Foundation-building cultivators need to swallow the human brain pill in order to break through to the Golden Core stage."

"Then by the same token, Jindan stage cultivators also need to take elixirs, so that they can have a hope of breaking through to the Yuanying stage."

“But what the Jindan stage cultivators take is not the human brain pill refined with mortal emotions.”

"It is the 'Golden Brain Pill' refined from the emotions of a Jindan-stage cultivator."

The Taoist master smiled and said, "And the formula of the 'Golden Brain Pill' is the secret method that I have been emphasizing over and over again just now."

Having said that, the Taoist Master suddenly pointed at Xie Shen, Bu Tianran and other cultivators who had failed the first round of trials.

He continued, "Except for the five of you who passed the first round of trials."

"All the other Jindan-stage cultivators in the room are consumables for refining the 'Golden Brain Pill' this time!"

Ah this
After hearing what the Taoist said, the five Jindan stage cultivators were stunned for a moment.

One of them opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But he was interrupted by the Taoist master: "Okay, you all go out first!"

"Except for the five of you, the rest of the Jindan stage cultivators have been dragged into the illusion."

"They have no power to resist at all."

"So from now on, the matter of refining the 'Golden Brain Pill' can be left to me and fellow Daoist Shan Fan."

Broken, broken.

After hearing what the Taoist said, Xie Shen, who had been staying awake by following the six-character mantra, felt at a loss.

What to do now?
