Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 238: Life is Good

The Aurora Fairy left, leaving Zhao Yifu alone in the small, enclosed room.

This single room is only about 20 square meters, with nothing else but a stone couch and a stone table.

There was a big box in the corner.

Zhao Yifu walked over and opened the box, only to find that it contained a set of badly worn heavenly soldier armor.

He took out the 'prison book' again and found that the first page of the 'prison book' was his 'work manual'.

The 'work manual' that was not even satisfied with ten items made Zhao Yifu feel that it was a privilege for him.

The second page is his 'work log', a page that can be extended infinitely, allowing him to record.

But the third page is interesting, it is actually a talisman printed on the page.

In his opinion, this was a very crude way of refining equipment, but the ingenious idea behind it inspired him greatly.

The function of this spell has been mentioned in the previous "Work Manual", which is to check the integrity of the forbidden seal on the prisoner.

Every use will also be recorded... Although it feels very simple, the supervision of the Heavenly Court is quite thoughtful.

Zhao Yifu followed the instructions in the "Work Manual" and took out the celestial soldier armor that seemed to be covered with patina from the box and put it on.

I always feel a little weird.

When I looked down, I found that there were holes in this thing in many places.

Forget it, now that I’m already wearing it, I might as well go out and take a look first.

But before going out, he let all the cats out first.

There is one good thing about this heavenly prison, that is, the concentration of spiritual energy is far lower than that of the outside world, so that the cats can make a good transition and adapt.

Looking at the listless cats, Zhao Yifu was really worried that a few more would die...

He took out some dried meat and dried fish, poured some water in them, and let them eat on their own.

Then he pushed open the door that looked a little dirty.

When the door was pushed open, he immediately felt a chill running through his heart.

There was no wind, but it was simply cold, which made him shiver all over.

"Meow~"

Hearing a cat meowing behind him, Zhao Yifu hurried out and closed the door.

He looked around and saw a truly desolate scene.

This place was also hollowed out, with only pillars connecting the top and the bottom.

The small room he was in was located in the central area of ​​the Heavenly Prison. Looking outside, he could see many figures tied to pillars with chains.

They were tied with chains, and all of them revealed their true forms.

They all look like very dangerous monsters.

Of course, the demonic powers of these monsters were sealed by chains, so they just looked a little scary now.

Because of the hollow structure, strong winds blew from all directions, just like cutting with swords.

There was still some sand and gravel in the gale, and Zhao Yifu felt that the heavenly soldier armor on his body was leaking... and it was leaking badly.

I thought to myself, no wonder there are so few officers in the prison today. It turns out their equipment is so poor. Anyone would be unable to handle it, right?

But then he thought again, it seemed that Master Wenheng had said that this Heavenly Prison was suitable for cultivation?

So he tried to refine the cold air leaking from his armor with Pure Yang True Fire...

Slowly, he felt the difference.

He felt a strong aura of water spirit spreading out, which made him feel many mysteries of water that he had never felt in the mortal world.

He was surprised to find a hole in the armor. Could it be that it was used to help cultivators practice?
Without armor, ordinary immortals would probably not be able to withstand the harsh environment of these seven levels.

However, if the armor is intact and fully protected, then one will not be able to feel the mystery of water movement in the cold.

The current situation is just right, it's tailor-made for him!
Zhao Yifu couldn't help but sigh, perhaps the cracks and holes in the armor were left there for his careful calculations?
I thought of the Aurora Fairy in my mind, and couldn't help but feel that she was such a good person.

He collected his thoughts and decided to go and see the prisoners imprisoned there.

The area around the seventh level of the Heavenly Prison is already within the range of thunder tribulation.

Thunder kept leaking in, shocking the big monsters beside the seven-story stone pillars and making them scream.

Then the cold atmosphere here suddenly changed, and a burning sensation began to emanate from the stone pillar.

The temperature within the entire seventh floor rose rapidly, becoming incredibly hot. The stone pillar also turned crimson, like a pillar of magma. The great demons locked beside it howled again... and many other scorching sounds were heard.

Zhao Yifu thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had inhaled a lot of ice spiritual energy before, and now he was using the ice spiritual energy to protect himself, so he didn't feel hot.

He began to walk around the stone pillars that bound the big demons, and at the same time, according to the instructions in the "Work Manual", he used the talismans on the third page of the "Prison Book" to check the status of the restrictions.

After checking, make a record in the work log.

As for recording, it was also simple. He could leave words by just running his finger across the pages.

He was able to write and paint very quickly when he was on earth, so this did not seem tedious to him.

As we walked along, we discovered that the monsters imprisoned here seemed to be all aquatic creatures, such as prawns, crabs, octopuses, squids, sharks, turtles, etc.

They all look like sea goods.

He was walking quickly when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

When he turned around, he saw a huge shark tied to a stone pillar with its belly turned upside down.

The main thing is that the meat on its belly is a little burnt, and it seems to want to be turned over to dry.

This caused the back fin of the fish to stick to the hot ground and it was cooked...

Zhao Yifu squatted down beside him and said, "Brother Shark, your fins are cooked."

The shark was quite surprised. It didn't expect that someone would come and chat with it.

So it asked, "What do you want?"

The question it asked was very straightforward and realistic. Perhaps in the world of these great monsters, it was full of simple and crude exchanges of interests.

Zhao Yifu said, "Can I have that piece of fin? It will burn in a while."

The shark monster said angrily: "Wishful thinking!"

Zhao Yifu said, "I can slightly reduce your sentence this time."

This is also one of the functions of the talisman. If you find that the tortured demon is in a bad condition during the inspection, you can loosen the ropes slightly to let the demon catch its breath.

The shark monster immediately said, "Deal!"

After saying that, it turned over and skillfully used the chain that tied itself to scrape off the fin.

"then!"

As it spoke, it flapped its tail and slapped the fin into Zhao Yifu's hand.

The shark monster was huge, like a big ship.

The fish fin fell into Zhao Yifu's hand like a door panel... no, it was even bigger than a door panel.

Zhao Yifu reluctantly caught it, then said with a smile, "Okay, I've loosened it for you... This is the limit of what I can do."

The shark monster landed on its belly, wagging its tail in comfort and saying, "That's enough... Well, if it tastes good, come back tomorrow."

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "I'll go check out other people's tomorrow... I wonder if that giant squid tastes good?"

The shark monster said, "I'm afraid you can't bite that thing."

"My shark fin is still delicious."

Zhao Yifu said, "Haha, okay, I'll come back tomorrow to collect it."

"By the way, you only have one fin on your back. If you eat it, it will be gone, right?"

The shark monster said: "Don't worry, my sea people may not be good at other things, but you don't have to doubt our regeneration ability."

Zhao Yifu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then you have a good rest. I'll be leaving first."

The shark monster without its dorsal fin watched Zhao Yi Fu leave, thinking that this man was quite polite.

Zhao Yifu returned to the cabin carrying the big fish fin on his back.

He pushed open the door and the scorching heat rushed into the room.

Zhao Yifu took a lot of effort to move the fish fin inside at the door.

As soon as the fish fins come in, the cats will drool with envy.

But they didn't move, because Big Sister Yi Yi was sitting in front of them, and they wouldn't eat anything unless Sister Yi Yi gave the order.

And Yiyi looked at Zhao Yifu...

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "I've checked it. This fish fin was cooked by the calamity fire. Its original demonic power has been completely dissipated. Only the spiritual energy of the fire calamity is filled."

"But the Fire Tribulation Spiritual Energy is not a bad thing for you. It can help you refine your body."

Yiyi nodded after hearing this, and then she was the first to bite the fish, grabbed the fattest part of the fin, tore it off with force, and jumped in front of Zhao Yifu.

Zhao Yifu reached out and took it.

It rubbed its head against Zhao Yifu's palm and meowed sweetly before turning to look at everyone and meowing.

The cats then started to eat, surrounding the big fish fin and eating with a "gurgling" sound.

Seeing that they were eating with relish, Zhao Yifu tore off a piece of the fish fin in his hand and gave it to Yiyi.

Only then did Yiyi start to eat happily.

Sister Yiyi is Sister Yiyi, she is responsible and knows how to respect hierarchy, and she has made these little cats behave themselves.

Even Hua Da Nv has to call Yi Yi "Sister Yi Yi" when she sees her now.

Of course, among all cats, Huada Niu is still the most vicious when it comes to eating.

Fortunately, the fin is big enough for them to share.

Zhao Yifu took a bite.

It is indeed fresh and juicy.

And then the fire spiritual energy exploded in his mouth, and the numbness with a slight burning sensation was so wonderful, much better than the chili peppers in the mortal world.

Come to think of it, he has never eaten chili peppers in his life... Now he has finally achieved his goal.

"Great, it's delicious."

He and Yiyi shared the fish fin in a few bites, and then looked at the fish fin on the ground... well, it had been almost eaten by the cats.

Zhao Yifu said, "Okay, let's practice and digest it together. It should be very beneficial."

So he was the first to sit down on the stone bed and practice Qi, and the cats all crowded around him to practice together.

There are so many furry lumps of flesh huddled together, and just looking at them makes people feel very warm.

The digesting fish fins also brought rich fire aura to Zhao Yifu and the kittens.

Those big monsters had their souls and demonic powers sealed, so they were unable to utilize the spiritual energy of the fire disaster.

But for Zhao Yifu and the kittens, refining it can not only enhance their own cultivation, but also improve their understanding of fire spiritual energy, and at the very least, enhance their own "fire resistance" attribute.

Plus, the shark monster's meat was of excellent quality... On the first day Zhao Yifu arrived in the heavens, he felt the heavens' generous hospitality. He finished regulating his breathing and opened his eyes.

He was surrounded by furry cats.

Hua Da Nv was the most domineering and took one of his legs, while Yi Yi was alone in his chest.

In fact, the female cats were all crowded around him, while the male cats gathered in a circle on the outside...

To be honest, if the demons saw this scene, they would definitely think that this was Zhao Yifu's "pool of wine and forest of meat".

He carefully moved the cats away, trying not to disturb their practice.

Yiyi opened her eyes and called out softly, "Meow?"

Zhao Yifu said, "I'll be out for a bit. You lead everyone in their cultivation."

After all, his work wasn't done yet.

As he was about to push the door open, he remembered that the situation outside was a bit bad. If he pushed the door open, it might affect the cats who were practicing.

He thought for a moment, then picked up the Taixu Forbidden Book, communicated with it with his soul, and then used the power of the Taixu Forbidden Book to set up a barrier.

With this treasure, you will be much more adept at setting seals and barriers.

Once the barrier was complete, he pushed the door open and walked out.

At this time, the wind outside had become bitingly cold.

But this time the cats didn't feel anything, the cold was blocked by the barrier.

Zhao Yifu smiled and his confidence was slightly restored.

In this upper realm, he couldn't use his divine sense, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

This icy cold is also a kind of natural punishment, which matches Zhao Yifu's attributes, so he is very happy.

The punishment of heavenly thunder is the shortest and obviously causes the greatest damage.

The punishment of skyfire lasts longer and the damage is reduced.

The rest are all icy punishments.

Relatively speaking, this icy punishment seemed to give the big monsters some breathing space.

While breathing in spiritual energy, Zhao Yifu continued his "inspection" while looking at the unlucky monsters that were just crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and were now covered with ice and snow.

To be honest, he now feels like he is visiting a "seafood market".

As I watched, my mouth started watering.

He quickly completed the count, finding 377 prisoners in total, all of them "seafood." Some were familiar, while others were new. This really troubled him, as he didn't know how to eat them.

“Hehehe…Brother, brother!”

Zhao Yifu suddenly heard a stuttering sound.

He turned his head and saw a long cutlass fish coiled around the stone pillar.

That small half of the body was completely frozen.

He walked over and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"

The cutlassfish monster thought this person was quite polite.

It said, "I am almost dying. I can't stand the cold... Can you give me some relief?"

Zhao Yifu didn't say anything after hearing this, and immediately reduced the intensity of the restriction here.

The cutlassfish monster was obviously a little more relaxed.

It's just a little warmer, and it's also a respite for it.

It said, "I... this part of my body has been completely frozen. Keeping it will only hinder regeneration. Why don't you take it away, little brother?"

Zhao Yifu was a little worried after hearing this and asked, "Can this... grow back?"

The hairtail monster sighed and said, "The restrictions here are extremely vicious. To make us suffer for a long time, we have transformed our sealed demonic powers into the power of regeneration... Don't worry, it will definitely grow back when the new round of punishment begins."

Zhao Yifu swallowed his saliva, then subconsciously waved his hand...

The next moment, an iron chain popped out from his palm and pulled off the small half of the frozen hairtail fish's body.

The hairtail monster was stunned when he saw this, then he shouted tremblingly: "I was wrong, let me go, let me go..."

It screamed hysterically, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.

Zhao Yifu looked over in surprise and asked, "Senior Hairtail, what's wrong with you? I was only removing the frozen part of your body."

The hairtail monster yelled, "Aren't you the warden?"

Zhao Yifu shook his head.

The Hairtail Monster asked, "But if you're not the warden, how can you cast the 'Great Void Soul Locking Forbidden'?"

Zhao Yifu suddenly understood, and then said, "It's not that I can do it, but an elder of mine refined a rare treasure for me, and I can mobilize some of the power of that rare treasure."

The cutlassfish monster calmed down after hearing this, but it still submitted to Zhao Yifu.

Zhao Yifu was also quite surprised. There was a "warden" in the prison today? I don't think I've heard of it.

He knew that he would come to the Heavenly Prison, so he naturally inquired about the situation in the Heavenly Prison.

He knew that there were three wardens in the Heavenly Prison: the lower three, the middle three, and the upper three.

Among them, the Fairy Aurora, whom he respected and loved very much, was one of the three upper prison wardens, in charge of the seventh, eighth and ninth upper heavenly prisons.

There is also a garrison of heavenly soldiers outside the Heavenly Prison, led by the Prison God.

This Prison-Suppressing God General was the confidant of his master Wen Heng, so Zhao Yi Fu always felt that the Heavenly Prison was the sphere of influence of his master Wen Heng, and he felt extremely at ease and had no sense of crisis.

Of course, it turns out that he really doesn't need a sense of crisis.

He just felt that this heavenly prison was unexpectedly suitable for him.

Especially this seventh level of the heavenly prison is extremely compatible... Oh, it would be even better if there were some bull monsters and sheep monsters.

Oh, yes, I don’t know which floor the plant monsters are locked up on… It’s a pity that I can’t visit them, otherwise I could clear my mouth occasionally.

Tsk, this Heavenly Prison...

After another round of walking, I actually found a lot of meat that was "frozen" due to the ice punishment.

Just like an old man who came back from shopping at the seafood market, he happily returned to his base.

Wonderful, beyond words.

However, as he walked, Zhao Yifu felt something was wrong.

That is, his body seemed to be infected by calamity, the spiritual energy around him was ready to move, and the karma in his body also seemed to be triggered.

Upon seeing this, he quickly looked inward and discovered that the shark fin he had eaten contained calamity energy, which was triggered by his karma and was about to trigger his own heavenly punishment.

Zhao Yifu thought this was normal, because he already had six thunder tribulations that had been postponed, and it seemed that he had to go through them now?

Just as this thought passed, a bolt of lightning suddenly rushed in from outside, winding its way to his front, and then with a "boom!" it washed over him.

Numb, completely numb.

Zhao Yifu just felt numb now.

At the same time, my whole body felt like it was being torn apart.

He used all his energy to circulate the Shouren Method without hesitation, and finally managed to withstand the thunder tribulation.

Of course, the heavenly armor he was wearing was a little worn out.

After this thunder tribulation, no more thunders came.

But Zhao Yifu only felt that after the pain, a kind of vitality like all things competing to develop was growing in his body.

Originally, his body had reached its limit in the mortal world. Even after he cultivated an immortal body, he still felt a sense of shackles.

But now, he found an opportunity to open this shackle.

That is to use the calamity energy to cleanse the whole body, thereby improving one's immortal body.

No, his immortal body actually inherited the constitution of the holy body of martial arts, which is that it has a deep foundation and extremely strong potential... This thunder tribulation is helping him realize his potential!
Of course, realizing his potential in this way will inevitably cause damage to his body...but doesn't he have delicious food and spicy drinks every day here?
Wow, the loop is closed!

"It's worthy of being the holy place chosen by my ancestor for me to cultivate. After a hundred years of this, I wonder to what extent I can refine my immortal body."

He truly felt sincere respect for Master Wenheng. This kind of consideration for him and the great fortune he received was definitely a great favor.

He looked at the cutlassfish pieces on the ground next to him, and on a thought, he took them.

After he got the hang of it, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. He realized that his soul had been strengthened a lot after being cleansed by the thunder tribulation, and he could already capture objects through the air again.

Even because the concentration of spiritual energy in this heaven is stronger, he can obviously do more things after his soul strength increases.

Just like...

He just had a thought, and a cart made of black ice appeared on the ground in front of him.

He was walking in front, and the 'goods' on the cart were getting more and more.

This is really like going to the 'seafood market' to buy goods!
He then returned to the hut, looked around, and tried to use the 'Boundless Universe Technique' to expand the space inside the hut.

Unfortunately, however, he was unsuccessful.

There are obviously restrictions in this hut, preventing any influence of magic.

But this did not pose a problem for Zhao Yifu, who had already recovered his spiritual power. He knew what to do just by thinking about it.

By changing the target of his spell, he successfully expanded the stone collapse this time!

"Meow meow meow!"

The kittens jumped up happily. The original room was indeed too small. Now it can be called a home.

As expected, there was no problem in following Zhao Yi Fu. I was a little wronged to live in a small house on the first day, but on the second day I moved to a big house, and there was never a shortage of delicious food and drinks!
Zhao Yifu was also quite satisfied with this.

He then condensed an ice grid in a corner of the room, and then put all the 'seafood' into the ice grid for preservation.

From now on, they will no longer have to worry about food and drink.

The only downside was that with so many excellent ingredients, Zhao Yifu couldn't help but start thinking of more ways to eat them...

In this way, a year of delicious food and drink passed by quickly...

A year is just a blink of an eye for immortals and gods.

And the Aurora Fairy came as promised to check Zhao Yifu's work.

She was very curious in her heart, wondering if this person had retreated because of the terrible environment in the Heavenly Prison?

If so, she would have completed her mission...

Then she moved to the door of the hut.

Her original intention was to give Zhao Yifu some private space, after all, he was also a male immortal.

however……

He saw a big pot of seafood stewing at the door of the cabin.

This big pot of seafood was not affected by any external punishment at all and was stewed well inside a barrier.

The alluring color and the fragrant aroma made the Aurora Fairy dazed for a moment. She was completely confused about the situation.
