The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Go back to the second floor.

Zhu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, glanced at the porcelain bowl, several jade boxes, and porcelain bottles on the small table in front of him, closed his eyes and concentrated, recalling the matters concerning the practice of "corpse control technique".

There are two main aspects to the practice of magic.

First, find a human body lineage that aligns with the lineage of magic.

Secondly, the spiritual materials required to construct the spell.

Meanwhile, the Eye of True Sight has already discovered the six Dharma lineages that best fit the "Corpse Control Technique," saving Zhu Yu an unknown amount of time.

There is no shortage of spiritual objects. Next, all that is needed is to refine the spiritual objects step by step to erode and change the Dharma lineage, then cut the Dharma lineage diagram, grasp it in the divine sea, and nurture it with spiritual power as a Dharma seed.

After listing the key points, Zhu Yu picked up the jade bottle containing the spiritual spring, uncorked it, and tilted it slightly. A stream of clear water flowed into the porcelain bowl, where it was enveloped in a hazy spiritual aura.

It can be clearly sensed that the spiritual spring contains a rich, attribute-free pure spiritual energy.

"Dreamcatcher butterfly wing powder..."

Zhu Yu took another jade bottle from the table, opened it, and sprinkled out specks of powder with iridescent colors. The powder instantly dissolved into the spiritual spring water upon contact with it.

Wait until one portion of "Dreamcatcher Butterfly" feather powder is poured out.

The spring water in the bowl shimmered with a dreamy rainbow-like luster, and the originally attribute-less spiritual energy was imbued with a unique aura.

"Next up are the molted shell of the 'Soul-Parasite Worm,' and the compound eyes of the Corpse Beetle..."

Zhu Yu's gaze fell on the two jade boxes on the table. He waved his hand to open the lids, taking out the frozen corpse beetle's compound eyes, the soul-parasitic insect's molted shell, and the silkworm-like pupa. With a slight thought, spiritual power surged from his palm.

The ice melted and the water turned red.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and placed both items into the bowl one after the other. He lightly touched the liquid in the bowl with his fingertips, and a wisp of spiritual energy silently merged into it.

next moment.

The spiritual spring water shimmered with a hazy, seven-colored light, and the liquid immediately began to boil. One could see the compound eyes of the corpse beetle floating in the water, and the exoskeleton of the soul-parasitic insect dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the two magical objects vanished.

The once iridescent spring water turned into a deep black, and at first glance, no reflection could be seen. Looking at it for a while made one feel dizzy, and one began to have hallucinations.

"call…"

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, lightly touched the liquid with his fingertip, and examined it with his True Sight Eye. He confirmed that it was the spiritual liquid needed to construct the spell, and without further hesitation, he picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

It tasted slightly sour and bitter. As soon as it entered my stomach, a surge of cold energy erupted, as if I had swallowed several ice cubes in succession. The chill spread, and I couldn't help but shiver for a moment.

Zhu Yu knew that this was the effect of the spiritual liquid, so he quickly closed his eyes and concentrated. In a daze, a human figure composed of dense, colorful lines appeared in his eyes.

Located in the abdomen of the human-shaped body.

Strands of gray-black aura manifested, passing through the various magical veins and spreading throughout the body. When they reached the edge, they were blocked by a pale golden light, preventing them from leaking out.

"Next is to draw in the energy to erode and alter the Dharma lineage..."

With a slight thought, Zhu Yu, located at the back of the neck of the Human Body Heaven and Earth Dharma Line Diagram, used a faint white light to extract a portion of six different Dharma Lines and combine them into a winding insect pattern.

His divine sense surged, enclosing the image. Then, his divine sense condensed into several invisible tentacles, carrying several wisps of gray-black energy to his neck.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if some invisible barrier had been broken through.

A wisp of gray-black energy manifested in the human body and the world around it. When it came into contact with a section of the Dharma vein that was mainly composed of Yin meridians and supplemented by wood and water, a violent pain surged up.

It felt like being boiled in hot water, or being chopped with knives and axes. Zhu Yu's consciousness trembled, and the Dharma lineage diagram that he had confined with his consciousness almost broke apart.

This is also why practicing magic is not easy.

Although the human body and the universe are in the dark, they are closely related to the human body. The pain of eroding and altering one's spiritual lineage is no less than being stabbed by a real knife. In fact, if the contact is guided by divine consciousness, the pain can be amplified several times.

If one is even slightly distracted, the aura emanating from the spirit will erode other magic veins, resulting in the creation of useless magic veins when cutting the magic vein diagram.

After nurturing it into a Dharma seed, the amount of useless Dharma veins will have varying degrees of impact when casting spells. If too many useless Dharma veins are cut off, a dead seed will form, and you will have to start all over again.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhu Yu guided the aura transformed from the spiritual entity into his Dharma lineage bit by bit.

Gradually, the Dharma lineage revealed a crystalline luster like glass, and the speed at which the energy merged into it increased.

that's it.

Zhu Yu continuously drew in streams of energy to merge into his Dharma veins, and waves of intense pain surged forth until he felt his divine sense becoming somewhat stiff, and the energy no longer overflowed from his abdomen.

What appeared before his eyes was a winding insect-shaped magic diagram composed of six magic veins that shimmered with a glassy luster.

"Now!"

Without pausing, Zhu Yu directed a wisp of spiritual energy, guided by his divine sense, into the human body, transforming it into a hiltless blade that gently sliced ​​along the edge of the "Corpse Control Technique" lineage.

A sharp pain, as if flesh were being torn from his body, surged into his mind. The "Corpse Control Technique" lineage, like a demonic insect freed from its shackles, twisted and disappeared.

next moment.

In the Divine Sea Space, the moment the "Corpse Control Technique" lineage appeared, it was drawn into the center by the rotating ring, and the spiritual energy residing within surged forth, slowly forming a cocoon of spiritual energy.

"Next, we just need to wait for the corpse control technique to fully develop..."

Seeing this, Zhu Yu's tense mind relaxed instantly. He turned his attention back to his physical body and glanced at the world around him. The severed meridians had not regenerated, and there was a small gap at the neck.

"Is it irreversible...?"

He felt a chill run down his spine, but quickly relaxed.

The "Corpse Control Technique" occupies less than one percent of the total Dharma lineage, which is more than enough to support the advanced visualization techniques in the future.

When his consciousness returned to his body, Zhu Yu could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

.....

The full moon rises, the waning moon recedes.

The faint moonlight shone through the gaps in the clouds and through the window of the wooden house, illuminating a handsome young man lying on a soft couch. His eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened them.

"call…"

Zhu Yu sat up, rubbed his swollen temples, and felt his consciousness returning. With a slight thought, he summoned his own control panel.

[Skill: Tier 1 Low-Grade Corpse Control Technique "Under Development"]

As his gaze focused on the "Corpse Control Technique," a message flooded his mind.

"Will it take half a month...?"

Zhu Yu smiled, put away the panel, looked up at the dome outside the window. Under the cover of clouds, only the outlines of two dim full moons could be seen.

He withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with deep thought.

Qi cultivation is like accumulating sand to form a mountain. He used 150 divine soul particles to construct the ring, and there are still 7 divine soul particles that have not been integrated. He is only 143 away from the 300 divine soul particles required for the middle stage of Qi cultivation.

According to his progress in spiritual practice.

Without taking any elixirs, one can condense three soul particles a day, and after half a year, one can condense 540 particles, but this is still far from the late stage of Qi Refining.
