Chapter 900: Bottle neck loosened, wind and clouds rise again

~15 min read 2,978 words

In the quiet cave dwelling.

Luo Chen stood in front of the desk, carefully studying the Hundred-Poison King Gu sealed by the amber.

Because of the Spirit Rhinoceros Gu incident back then, Luo Chen was quite cautious about gu worms, for fear of encountering that kind of gu worm that had been tampered with again.

Just like when refining the Strength Gu and the Letter Gu earlier, he was extremely cautious before choosing to refine them.

Compared to low-level gu worms like the Strength Gu and Letter Gu, this Hundred-Poison King Gu is of a slightly higher grade, reaching the third grade, so it is very troublesome to check.

Fortunately, as Luo Chen's realm becomes more profound, he understands a truth more and more.

Refining Dao does not distinguish between families!

Whether it is alchemy, refining tools, or refining gu, they actually have some common principles.

Wanting to leave a backhand on pills, magic treasures, or even gu worms is not that simple.

One needs to have enough understanding of the corresponding things and have a method of restraint to leave a backhand.

At least, as he checked now, this Hundred-Poison King Gu was clean and white, without any hidden dangers.

"That's right, it's just a third-grade gu worm; it's not worth the top gu refiner of the Southern Border using dirty means."

Luo Chen laughed at his own caution and shook his head.

It's just that the other party used a third-grade poison gu, plus the corresponding cultivation technique, to exchange for one move from him, the famous "tyrant cultivator"; it was really a big profit!

Of course, Luo Chen was not too angry.

The Hundred-Poison King Gu is only third-grade, but its future potential is quite great, which is also a fact.

Once this gu worm is stained with various poisons, its grade will rise rapidly, and reaching the fourth grade is an ideal state.

Even, under Master Li Tian's whimsical ideas, if the host can bear it, and with enough powerful poison support, this Hundred-Poison King Gu may not have a day to advance to the fifth grade.

From here, one can also see that this is also an experimental route for Master Li Tian to refine the fifth-grade divine gu.

Not refining it directly, but relying on the cultivator's acquired efforts to urge it up step by step.

The reason why Master Li Tian later gave up on the Hundred-Poison King Gu, the answer is also very simple.

Those two conditions, there are really very few people in the world who can satisfy them!

"Can I bear it?"

Luo Chen asked himself, then smiled knowingly.

If he couldn't bear it, how many people in this world would be qualified?

Qing Shuang? Wang Yuan?

They would not choose this kind of "crooked path"; even if the King Gu and the cultivation technique were placed in front of them, they would probably just disdain it.

Only he himself, in the situation of encountering a bottleneck in body refining, would choose to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Let me see what effect you have!"

With a thought, a slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips.

A drop of essence blood emitting a powerful aura was squeezed out by him.

While swaying, only heard a sound—

Drip!

The essence blood fell on the amber, and the amber sealing the Hundred-Poison King Gu melted away like snow.

Stimulated, the Hundred-Poison King Gu gradually began to wake up.

Before it had any action, Luo Chen's essence blood had already touched its body.

"Hiss..."

A silent sharp cry resounded in his heart.

In his vision, the tender King Gu began to roll violently, blood color constantly flashing on its body, constantly struggling.

When the blood color gradually faded, Luo Chen knew that the first stage of the refining work was successful.

Then...

Luo Chen did not hesitate, and pointed and drew above his waist and abdomen.

A ferocious wound appeared, and he grabbed the Hundred-Poison King Gu and stuffed it straight in.

The ferocious wound began to heal rapidly under the powerful self-healing ability.

And in his perception, the tender gu worm, once entering the body, went straight to the stomach bag of the internal organs.

"Fortunately, I have taken a large amount of Five-Temple Immortal Brew over the years, cultivating the five internal organs to a powerful state rarely seen in the world, otherwise I wouldn't be able to provide a stable home for this Hundred-Poison King Gu."

While muttering, in Luo Chen's Purple Mansion, light also flowed on the eyebrows of the Nascent Soul little person.

It was the Spirit-Illuminating Gu refined earlier!

To prevent any changes that Luo Chen could not predict, the Spirit-Illuminating Gu had to be activated from time to time to monitor this Hundred-Poison King Gu.

As far as it looks now, everything is going well.

Once the Hundred-Poison King Gu entered the stomach bag, that feeling of discomfort, after encountering Luo Chen's terrifying stomach fluid that seemed to be able to melt everything, instantly became like a fish in water.

And a feeling of hunger was transmitted to Luo Chen's consciousness due to the connection of heart and mind.

"So impatient?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and then took out a small black jar from the storage bag.

The jar opened, and inside was a green little snake flicking its tongue and swimming slowly.

This is the Green Scale Snake, a first-grade demon beast, containing extreme poison.

As long as a Qi Refining cultivator accidentally touches it, they will die of heart paralysis.

And this is also one of the hundred types of first-grade poisons required for the entry-level cultivation of the "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique."

One hand was placed in front of the green little snake.

The Green Scale Snake bit it without hesitation.

However, after one bite, it didn't even have the qualification to leave a white mark on Luo Chen's hand.

Luo Chen shook his head, "Too troublesome."

He pinched with two fingers, clamped it, and the poison gland of the Green Scale Snake was taken out.

In an instant, the Green Scale Snake became withered.

And Luo Chen faced this extreme poison that countless Qi Refining cultivators

feared to avoid, and swallowed it with a light smile.

The poison followed the esophagus and fell into the stomach bag.

The Hundred-Poison King Gu was attracted and sucked constantly.

Its tender body also gradually turned pitch black.

It's just that this change process was very short, and soon it turned back to white jade.

Seeing this, Luo Chen began to operate the "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique."

With the flow of the cultivation technique, the Hundred-Poison King Gu connected to his heart and mind also had a corresponding reaction.

A cloud of misty fog drifted out from its body, gradually eroding Luo Chen's flesh and blood.

A kind of tingling and extremely itchy feeling arose spontaneously.

Luo Chen raised his brows, still letting that kind of painful and itchy feeling spread all over his body, and he was as immovable as a mountain!

Gradually, under the erosion of poison, Luo Chen's flesh and blood seemed to have some withering.

But the powerful self-healing ability of the flesh body restored it in an instant.

That kind of painful and itchy feeling also disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

After checking the memory of the Spirit-Illuminating Gu again, Luo Chen gradually became thoughtful.

"So that's it!"

This Hundred-Poison King Gu, no wonder it can become the core of this set of high-level body refining techniques, and even the "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique" was specially created to match it.

Its own body is not ordinary!

It is a top-tier poison, but its toxicity is extremely restrained and will not cause any impact on the cultivator.

However, after absorbing other poisons, that toxicity will fluctuate.

At this moment, operating the "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique" to stimulate the King Gu will allow the poisons it swallows to be stimulated several times over, which can be used to temper the host's own body.

The Hundred-Poison King Gu can be seen as a middleman, or as a converter.

If you really want to give an example...

Luo Chen thought for a while, but thought of a certain technological product from his previous life—a transformer.

The Hundred-Poison King Gu is like that transformer that can make voltage high and low, and can make the toxicity of the poisons fed to it big and small.

After feeding it back to the host, it can play the role of tempering the flesh body.

And the tempering here is also different from the normal meaning of tempering.

It is a slow erosion, uninterrupted melting.

If the host's own flesh body is not strong enough, under this erosion and melting, it will instead hurt itself.

Only when the flesh body is strong enough can it gradually become stronger in the process of constant erosion, melting, and constant recovery!

"No wonder Master Li Tian doesn't care much about this high-level body refining technique; its principle is so simple. Even without the 'Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique', as long as this King Gu is there, I can create a matching Hundred-Poison, Ten-Thousand-Poison

body refining method myself."

After a review, Luo Chen understood many things.

If you want this cultivation technique to improve fast enough, there are three conditions.

One is to look at the host's own physical strength, two is to look at the degree of stimulation of the Hundred-Poison King Gu by the cultivation technique, and three is the supply of external poisons.

"These are not difficult!"

Pursed his lips, and hunger came from his body again.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, took out a large amount of low-level poisons from the storage bag, took their toxins one by one, and fed them to the Hundred-Poison King Gu.

At the same time, the "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique" that had already entered the door also operated naturally under the control of the main soul.

A large amount of misty poisonous fog, centered on the stomach bag, began to spread all over Luo Chen's body.

After joining the Fierce Mountain Corpse Alliance, Luo Chen's life of running around suddenly became stable again.

Every day, he was either cultivating the "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique" in the cave dwelling or wandering up and down Mi Jie Mountain, ignoring other people's eyes, studying the omnipresent natural spatial restrictions.

During this period, some supporting poison resources promised by Master Li Tian were also sent over one after another.

Of course, these resources were not free, and Luo Chen needed to pay a certain price to buy them.

Fortunately, before Luo Chen left the Eastern Wasteland, he had gained a lot in the Dan Saint Blessed Land and the Five-Element God Sect, and he had also gained some benefits from the Shadow-Reflecting Sect, so he was more than enough to pay for these low-level poisons.

Due to the supply of a large amount of low-level poisons, plus Luo Chen's terrifying self-healing ability, the proficiency of his "Hundred-Poison Body Refining Technique" improved rapidly, almost changing every day.

From entry to proficiency, it only took a month.

From proficiency to master level, it was also just around the corner.

After the Hundred-Poison King Gu swallowed a large amount of poison, its own grade was also gradually changing.

The only thing that made Luo Chen a bit dissatisfied was that his body refining path, although the bottleneck had loosened and was heading towards the late fourth grade, the degree of improvement was quite limited.

Ordinary people who got this method would definitely improve by leaps and bounds under this terrifying poison stimulation.

But his physical foundation was too strong, an existence that could compete with great demons and compare with wilderness beasts; these body improvements of constant destruction and reorganization were just icing on the cake.

He understood that in the end, it was because the grade of the Hundred-Poison King Gu itself was too low.

Only by raising it to the fourth-grade level could Luo Chen receive help.

First-grade and second-grade poisons obviously could not raise the grade of the Hundred-Poison King Gu.

Third-grade poisons might be effective, but this level of poison is already a high-level resource, and the quantity is relatively limited.

If you want immediate results, perhaps only fourth-grade poisons that can threaten Nascent Soul True Persons can make the Hundred-Poison King Gu undergo a qualitative change!

But this

level of poison is really too rare in the world.

Luo Chen couldn't be in a hurry, he could only grind it bit by bit.

Icing on the cake is ultimately an improvement, at least he found the direction to move forward.

And in this process, Luo Chen's understanding of natural spatial restrictions also became more and more profound.

He even used the materials at hand to privately make some spatial treasures to verify his learning results.

In a mountain stream shrouded in clouds and mist, Luo Chen looked at the storage bag in his hand.

This is a spatial treasure he refined himself; the materials are not very expensive, but the means are exquisite.

"No wonder the price of storage bags has always been high."

"What is expensive is never the raw materials, but the craftsmanship of refining storage bags!"

Luo Chen sighed, and then suddenly made a move!

A pinch!

Boom!

The storage bag in his hand, which contained scattered spirit stones and worthless magic tools, shattered abruptly.

Luo Chen's eyes widened, staring at the place where the storage bag shattered.

The storage bag forms a space itself, full of restrictions; once shattered, it will connect with the outside space.

In the past, Luo Chen had seen this situation many times.

After all, in battle, there are always situations where the enemy's storage bag is broken carelessly.

At that time, he didn't pay attention to the specific situation, just occasionally found that there were always some missing items when checking the spoils after the battle.

Now looking closely, he found some strange situations.

In the process of the internal space shattering and the impact of the external space, a large number of spatial restrictions were like ripples, constantly shattering and generating in the void.

Various items hidden in the internal space, some were cut into powder by terrifying spatial restrictions, some luckily preserved, and others disappeared strangely into the void, not knowing where they went.

"Where did they go?"

While muttering, Luo Chen swept the surrounding empty mountain stream with his powerful spiritual sense, but found nothing.

Just now, in that storage bag, besides worthless magic tools, he also specially left some valuable things.

A green lamp!

Obtained from the Shadow-Reflecting Sect, it is at the magic treasure level.

Luo Chen was too lazy to study its effect, but he left his own spiritual sense mark on it, specially used to test the results.

But at this moment, no matter how powerful Luo Chen's spiritual sense was, he could not find that "broken-phase green lamp."

Frowning, Luo Chen shifted his focus to the changes in the spatial restrictions earlier.

"The Nascent Soul's shrinking earth into an inch, traveling a thousand miles, is actually a natural use of spatial restrictions, but this is a natural act of following spatial changes."

"But Qing Shuang defies common sense, crossing the void with her flesh body, elusive. Obviously, this is a means of defying spatial changes..."

"Breaking, reorganizing, in the short process of spatial restriction recovery, finding the gap, you can come and go freely."

"This heaven and earth is like a net that is airtight. Nascent Soul is like a small shrimp, which can shuttle freely in the net eyes; my Hun Yuan Ding can suppress Nascent Soul because it forms a space itself, shielding many shuttle net eyes. And Qing Shuang, this big fish, destroys the net nodes and crosses the void with her flesh body, reaching the level where the net is broken and the fish does not die."

"Is it like this?"

Luo Chen's expression was dazed, asking himself.

No one gave him an answer; he could only rely on the subsequent research to verify it himself.

On his body, there were painful and itchy feelings from time to time, but Luo Chen suppressed them with his main soul, which would not affect his concentration.

Ending today's research, Luo Chen returned to the cave dwelling with full doubts.

Just arrived, he saw the Purple-Robed Marquis waiting outside the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen was stunned, then put away his mood and took the initiative to greet him.

"Kept you waiting."

The Purple-Robed Marquis waved his hand carelessly, "No matter, you don't know, we people who have been stamped with the Fierce Mountain Seal have cultivation efficiency far less than before. Instead of doing that useless work, it's better to come out for a walk."

Luo Chen smiled, this is probably the pain of most Nascent Soul cultivators in the Southern Border now!

Obviously the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside has increased, but they dare not cultivate wantonly.

To lift this restriction, only by finding the source can they restore the days of freedom and ease they once had.

After laughing, he asked: "Coming today, is there any important matter?"

"No important matter." The Purple-Robed Marquis shook his head, then took out a jade slip. "Here, this is the intelligence you want."

Luo Chen was overjoyed, "Is it the Demon Heart Gu Emperor's?"

"Part of it, but not all; there are also many changes in major events in the Mountain-Sea World collected by the Fierce Mountain Corpse Alliance through various channels."

Luo Chen raised his brows and took the jade slip.

At the first glance, his heart condensed.

"The Eastern Wasteland, finally started fighting!"

"Over in the Eastern Wasteland, it has finally started fighting!"
