Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 77 Qingyang Strange Fire
Cultivation has no time.

Xie Shen was in seclusion in a secret room, cultivating the strange fire, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a year had passed.

From the headmaster Bu Tianran, Xie Shen learned:
The white mist developed by Li Xiu can assist monks in their practice and speed up their practice.

In addition, there were the techniques that Xie Shen had previously taught him, which came from the world of cultivation.

So in the past year, there were a total of five more late Qi training cultivators in Qingyang Sect - including Yang Si.

"And then there is"

Outside the strange fire secret room.

Bu Tianran continued to say to Xie Shen, "The thousand-year-old spruce tree that was transplanted to the sect suddenly has two more circles made of spiritual power on its surface. Should this be okay?"

Xie Shen was delighted when he heard this and said, "That's called 'Spirit Wheel'."

"Only trees that are over 1000 years old will develop 'spiritual wheels' after being nurtured by the spirit gathering array."

"And with every additional year of nurturing, there will be one more 'spiritual wheel' on the tree's surface."

"Then, when the 'spiritual wheel' accumulates to 50 rings or more, this tree will have a certain chance of giving birth to wood spirit energy."

"I understand." Bu Tianran responded, and then said carefully: "Ancestor, recently there have been more and more late-stage Qi training cultivators in the sect. Do you think so?"

"You want to ask me for the foundation-building pill, right?"

Xie Shen directly revealed Bu Tianran’s thoughts in one sentence.

He said, "Wait another two years."

"Two years later, when my strange fire is perfected, I will naturally use it to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills without your reminder."

Hearing this answer, Bu Tianran was immediately delighted.

He hurriedly asked, "May I ask what items do you need to prepare for the elixir?"

Xie Shen said: "The main ingredients are Poria and Cirsium."

"Originally, these two main ingredients would take more than a hundred years to mature."

"But because I have a strange fire, the requirements can be slightly lowered."

"A 50-year-old or a 70-year-old will do."

Xie Shen added: "If we add some aged wild ginseng, the age requirement can be further lowered."

"Okay, I've got it all down!"

Outside the secret room, Bu Tianran finally said, "Well, Ancestor, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Please do as you please!" Xie Shen responded.

...

Year by year.

Soon, it was the second year of Xie Shen's retreat.

Two major events occurred this year:

First, there was the thalamus core that was active outside the base, and now it has revived.

Although the number is far less than before, it is growing steadily at a slow pace every day.

"besides."

Outside the strange fire secret room.

Li Xiu said to Xie Shen: "The octopus head in the other world said before: In the future, 'it' will produce more monsters. Do you remember?"

"I remember." Xie Shen replied, "The octopus head was always talking nonsense, saying that 'it's' power was almost infinite and humans had no way to stop it. The description was extremely exaggerated and I was deeply impressed at the time."

"Actually, at that time, I was also skeptical about what Octopus Head said."

Li Xiu slowed down his tone.

He said word by word: "But part of what Octopus Head said has already come true."

"Recently, our people discovered a new kind of monster outside the base."

"Ah?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What monster?"

Li Xiu introduced: "The full name of the monster is 'Silver Monster', and it is unknown life form No. 008."

"Its appearance and size are not much different from humans."

"Then, the silver demon has a neutral appearance and possesses both male and female reproductive characteristics."

“They are not very strong.”

"It can't even kill anyone."

"but"

At this point, Li Xiu paused for no reason, and then continued: "But the silver demon has a very strange ability."

"Very strange?" Xie Shen asked curiously, "How exactly is it strange?"

Li Xiu said: "Although the silver demon looks rather androgynous, it has an indescribable, inexplicable beauty."

"At once"

Li Xiu organized his words and continued, "Anyway, everyone who sees the silver demon will, without exception, have sexual impulses and be seduced by the silver demon."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xie Shen showed a strange expression: "And then?"

Li Xiu replied: "Then the bewitched person will run out of the base like crazy, desperate to have sex with the silver demon."

Ah this
Xie Shen's expression became even weirder.

He asked curiously, "What happens after the lovemaking? Will the person die?"

"will not."

Li Xiu replied: "But, that person's fate will be worse than death."

"If a person is toyed with by the Silver Demon, then that person is completely useless from then on."

"He will pursue his desires endlessly."

"Give me an example."

Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "For example, someone needs to eat two bowls of rice at every meal to feel full."

"Then after being toyed with by the silver demon, he needs to eat four bowls of rice to be satisfied."

"And then the next time it'll be eight bowls."

"In the end, he won't get any pleasure from eating."

"Uh" After hearing this, Xie Shen had already guessed some of the follow-up.

He asked uncertainly, "Then, is this effect permanent? Even if I commit suicide, I can't completely get rid of it?"

"Yes." Li Xiu replied, "The Silver Demon has only appeared for less than a week, and a total of three people in our base have been affected." "Among these three people, one is someone you know."

"Who?" Xie Shen asked subconsciously.

"Xue Guoer."

Li Xiu replied: "Xue Guoer is the kind of person who cannot live without meat."

"Since she came into contact with the Silver Demon, she has become even more exaggerated. She is willing to do almost anything for the sake of excitement."

"Silver demons are so powerful."

Li Xiu said with emotion: "Almost everyone who sees it will be affected by it."

"In this way, our people will not be able to fight it head-on."

"If the Silver Demon and the Thalamus Core join forces and attack our base together, we will be 100% finished."

At this point, Li Xiu revealed the purpose of his visit: "So I wanted to ask you, do you have any countermeasures to prevent the silver monster? For example, a technique that can make you immune to mental control, or a treasure or something like that."

In the strange fire chamber.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Shen said, "I do know some spells to deal with mental attacks."

"But I have never even seen a silver demon."

"So I can't really say what kind of magic to use to deal with it."

"You can only figure it out on your own for now."

Xie Shen estimated, "It will probably take me less than a year to raise the strange fire. By then, I will come out of seclusion and find a way to help you."

"That's fine."

Li Xiu spoke calmly, like a robot: "During this period of time, I will transfer all the soldiers on the parapet and then rely solely on the spiritual light formation to defend. We will try to delay the battle as long as possible!"

Outside the secret room.

After saying this, Li Xiu took his leave and left.

Xie Shen continued to cultivate the strange fire in the secret room.

...

Since the appearance of the silver monster, nearly half a year has passed quickly.

Although as time goes by, the number of thalamus cores appearing outside the base has been increasing.

But in the end, they did not spontaneously gather together to attack the base like they did last time.

In this peaceful and smooth situation, Xie Shen's strange fire was perfected, and he finally succeeded in nurturing the 'fire spirit energy' from it.

The day of departure.

There was a scorching air like sea waves, spreading from the strange fire secret room to the entire Qingyang Sect.

Including the head Bu Tianran, and elders Ran Zhuyu and Qian Ming.

All the Qingyang Sect disciples who sensed this aura gathered towards the direction of the strange fire secret room.

Under the gaze of hundreds of Qi training monks, Xie Shen slowly walked out of the secret room.

This moment.

All the monks present had an illusion: Xie Shen at this moment was like a ball of blazing flame.

If you get too close, you may even feel a burning sensation all over your body.

then.

Every time Xie Shen took a step forward, the other monks would involuntarily take a step back.

When Xie Shen stopped, he saw all the monks bowing and saying, "Welcome the ancestor out of retreat."

The sound was like the roar of mountains and the sea, deafening.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xie Shen slowly spoke: "It is said that when one person achieves enlightenment, the whole family will benefit."

"Since you all have come to welcome me out of seclusion, I will simply give you a chance to enjoy the good fortune."

He introduced: "So far, I have refined two types of five-element spiritual energy."

"One is the golden spirit energy, which is mainly used for killing."

"As for how strong it is, I have already demonstrated it to you when I fought with the Thalamus Core."

"I won't say more."

Xie Shen continued to speak to himself: "The other is the fire spirit energy nurtured by the strange fire."

"With this energy combined with the strange fire, as long as I want, everything in the world can be refined by me."

"Then."

"I plan to refine two batches of elixirs right here in front of you all."

"One furnace is for the 'Qi Gathering Pills' that are used to assist the Qi training cultivators in their practice. All the Qi training cultivators present at the early and middle stages will have a share."

"The other furnace is the 'Foundation Building Pill' that helps cultivators in the late stage of Qi training break through bottlenecks."

"All the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training here have the opportunity to obtain it."

Having said that, Xie Shen sat cross-legged on the ground and winked at the sect leader Bu Tianran who was not far away.

The latter understood his intention and hurriedly sent someone to bring over the tungsten steel furnace used for alchemy, and also prepared countless spiritual plants such as great thistle, poria, wild ginseng and yellow elf grass.

"rise!"

On the open ground.

Xie Shen, who was sitting cross-legged, just waved his hand lightly.

next second.

Then he saw the tungsten steel furnace in front of him also flew into the air on its own.

Xie Shen waved again.

This time, countless spiritual herbs and plants flew into the alchemy furnace on their own.

Finally, Xie Shen waved his hand.

As he moved, a ball of purple-black flame emerged from his hand.

Xie Shen looked at the flame and said, "This is the strange fire I nurtured."

"Considering that this is the first strange fire of my Qingyang Sect."

"So, I would like to call it 'Qingyang Strange Fire'!"
