Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

At this time, Chen Ze also remembered that in the previous battle in the Mo Dou Machine City, Hui was extremely targeted, crushed, and worn down by the Yuan Qi of the world. Therefore, after he dragged him out of the Mo Dou, his body was gone, and even his soul was almost gone. Not saved.

"Is the world targeting all of you monsters?" Chen Ze touched his chin and pondered,
"Do you have any clues?"

"The clue is that the world is starving!" The anemone shouted loudly, and the oil particles sprayed everywhere.

"It's a process isn't it?"

"In the beginning, the world was hungry and couldn't feed all living beings, so the human monks went crazy. They ate all the monsters and then ate their own people!"

"The rest of the world is going crazy with hunger! We will also eat demons and monks! We will eat all those who have the right principles!"

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"Especially our demon tribe!"

"As long as humans don't practice, they are just ordinary people."

"But the demon race contains Dao Qi as long as it is born, and is born extraordinary! Isn't it the best food?!"

"It does make sense." Chen Ze nodded and agreed with Hui's conjecture.
"At that time, uh, when I exposed you to the outside world, I also felt it. It seemed that you were becoming part of the rules of heaven and earth. It felt like a very good fit."

"If according to what you said, the demon clan is favored by nature and is naturally suitable for cultivation. It can become stronger as long as it is eaten. Maybe it is because the body naturally contains the rules of the great road or something."

"Waiting for the world to decline before devouring the demon clan and getting back those rules may mean that the demon clan is..."

Hui's eyes lit up as he listened carefully, he looked at Chen Ze and said in unison,

"grain reserves!"

busy--

Hui was so frightened by this shocking conclusion that his hand slipped and the half-eaten roast leg of lamb almost fell to the floor.

If the Monster Race is a food reserve, then why not the Human Race?
Could it be that between heaven and earth, there is actually a vast and huge pasture?

So is the herder the universe itself, or is it something else?
"It's too scary! It's too scary!" The snake was so frightened that his fingers trembled and his appetite increased. He finished the remaining roasted lamb leg in just two bites.

"Hey." She bent her oily fingers and touched Chen Ze with the back of her hand.

"Hurry up and have some more. I want to eat more delicious food."

"Are you so shocked?" Chen Ze said, taking out a whole pickled and mature roasted lamb wrapped in plastic film from his storage bag, and then threw in a few preset charms and started to automatically Flip and broil.

The fragrance quickly wafted up, and Chen Ze carefully thought about these secrets while holding his chin in his hands and waiting.

"It's not yet cooked." Chen Ze knocked off the restless little hand.

"You should have survived by relying on the items from the Brood, right?"

"Yes." He licked his oily lips and said intently,

"After the demon clan next to me was eaten by heaven and earth, that thing fell behind."

"The thing in the Brood's Nest is indeed magical. It's the first time I've seen it and I don't know how to use it. But if you carry it with you, it can resist the erosion of heaven and earth."

"That demon clan probably survived by relying on the things from its brood, but it still didn't survive in the end."

"Later, when you took over Mo Dou, you relied on the incomplete artificial Qi Bureau inside to hide your existence and avoid the erosion of the world. In exchange, you gave the unused nest to the Wang clan and merged it with Wang Lingguan's remains. "Chen Ze helped Hui continue the conversation.

"You are indeed as smart as me." He cast an appreciative look at Chen Ze.

"Who are you scolding?" Chen Ze retorted, and at the same time he reached out his hand unexpectedly to block the attack of the anemone, leaving the latter to flapping in vain.

"Hmph!" Hui retracted his oily hands angrily, and then added,
"But whether it's the nest thing or the core of the Mo family, they are just hanging on."

"Even if it's Ben. Well, huh~ A great monster like me has been hungry for hundreds of years. Even if the world doesn't eat me, I will starve to death sooner or later."

"You haven't eaten since you came out?" Chen Ze expressed serious doubts about this stupid snake who knows how to eat.

"You don't even know what level I am." Hui's eyes became more and more desperate.

"I have grown to hundreds of meters long. Ordinary food is of no use at all. It must be something containing extraordinary Dao Qi."

Obviously, in the Age of Dharma Ending, the anemone cannot find suitable food at all.

"You said it, ordinary food is useless." Chen Ze tried to monopolize the roasted whole lamb, but was immediately stopped by the tiger.

"I've been hungry for hundreds of years, and you still don't let me eat more to make up for it!"

After a "death struggle", Hui finally succeeded in getting half of the roasted whole lamb on the condition that he knew everything.

"Ah, well. I am still lingering in the ink bucket. My health is getting worse day by day. I worry about what to do all day long."

"It turns out that if God doesn't kill me, you will come to my door."

"I smelled it as soon as you came in. It smells so good, it smells so good!"

"If I can eat you and digest you, at least I can... Ouch!"

"Don't hit me on the head! Didn't I succeed in the end?!"

"I even had you dragged out and beaten for a long time! A long time! I didn't even get a bite!!!"

"What? Did I say it's all your fault? Oh, I think I told you that I was lying to you. If you didn't come, I would starve to death sooner or later."

"I can't help it. I wasn't familiar with you at that time. If you say this, I can put all the responsibility on you. Maybe it can also arouse your self-blame and sympathy, so that you can treat me better and not embarrass me. Get up to intimidate and humiliate.”

"Okay, let's not mention this. Anyway, I could smell it as soon as you entered the Mo Dou. The Yuan Qi in your body is also very special. It must have the same origin as mine."

"Same origin." Chen Ze thought about the snake's words and recalled the strange fragrance he smelled in the ink fountain.

Not only could the hungry anemone smell the fragrance, but Chen Ze could also smell the strange fragrance, and during the fight, their Yuan Qi could actually blend together.

It was also from that time that Chen Ze seriously suspected that this fat snake was related to the Yuan Qi characteristic he obtained from the pangolin.

From this point of view, this connection seems to originate from the ferocious beast Qiongqi that was surrounded and killed by human monks?
"Hey." Chen Ze stared at the bold-faced tiger and said,

"Do you still remember when we shared Qiongqi's flesh and blood, was there a pangolin beside us?"

"I can't remember clearly." He kept talking.

"Well, well, there were so many demons at that time, I couldn't tell them apart."

Although the memory is unclear, Chen Ze reasonably speculated based on the available information that such a pangolin demon was probably involved in the original Qiongqi eating scene.

Then Tiandi targeted the demon clan. The pangolin had no protection from its mother's nest and had no choice but to flee all the way.

It hid in the South China Sea and left scales in the underwater lake there, which were obtained by Chen Ze.

Later, it escaped into the secret place of Xianyue Mountain, destroyed the formation and hid.

But judging from the results, it still failed to escape its fate in the end, and its physical body turned into nothingness, resting on that special ray of Yuan Qi originating from Qiongqi.

Then, Chen Ze, who was intruded upon, was stunned for a while. He absorbed and refined it through the system, transferring the corrosive "traits" from Qiongqi to himself.

Therefore, Chen Ze and Hui both have Yuan Qi qualities that are suspicious of Qiongqi, so they can sense and devour each other.That’s what happened!
"But what's up with that human face on your forehead?" Chen Ze had not forgotten the beautiful face on the fat snake's forehead and the strange flesh-and-blood human form inside the body.

"Oh, that's my attempt to evolve into the human form." Hui explained nonchalantly,

"You also know that humans are the primates of all things. I tried to look like a human, but I lost a lot of useless scales, so I threw them to those named Wang."

"This is too rough!" Chen Ze said with disgust and suspicion.
"Just use blood, bones, scales and flesh to make a human appearance? That can't be done, right?"

"That's definitely not possible. I have no choice but to seek medical treatment in a hurry. I can't just sit back and wait for death, right?" Fei Dao was not ashamed at all.

"And I learned about this method of flesh and blood evolution from other demons."

"Do other monsters do this too?" Chen Ze turned around and picked up the big sheep bones again.

"Of course, I will do anything to survive."

"I'm pretty good like this, other monsters. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Some were broken into countless seeds and granulations, and some were deformed into monsters with eyes and hundreds of fingers, slimy, half-human and half-demon. Several demons stuck together, with their brains and large intestines exposed."

"Oh my, it's so disgusting! I can't even eat meat anymore! Don't ask, just understand what I mean!"

With a look of disgust on his face, Hui suppressed his discomfort and continued,
"In short, there are many cases of physical deformation, schizophrenia, and madness."

"It's not just monsters. You human monks can't hold on in the end, and there are also many who have become neither humans nor ghosts, nor ghosts nor monsters."

"Like this, what is this?" Hui pointed at the plaque of Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace beside him and shouted,

"Oh, the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers!"

"Well, I haven't heard of anyone succeeding."

"I still have to be like this to truly be reincarnated into a human being!"

It can be seen that Hui is very satisfied with her current situation, so much so that talking about the past gives people a feeling of suffering after suffering.

"So in the final analysis, the key lies in Yuan Qi." Chen Ze also expressed emotion.

As his horizons gradually expanded, Chen Ze also realized that Yuan Qi was not only life energy, but also included all extraordinary powers in the world, but the name may differ from person to person.

In fact, the new elixir method he created focuses on devouring all the alien energy from the refining world and even the outside world. At first glance, it seems to be quite similar to the cultivation method of the demon clan.

From the beginning, the reason why Chen Ze was able to do this was because of the corrosive characteristics of his own Yuan Qi, which originated from the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi.

So if you continue to cultivate like this, you won’t become a monster in the future, right?

Chen Ze thought carefully and incorporated this possibility into his plan.

"Actually, don't worry blindly. I think this thing on your body should be extraordinary." After hearing Chen Ze's doubts, Hui pointed at the storage bag on his waist.

"Well, that's it."

Hui seems to have always had a soft spot for this storage bag.

"You don't have to say that." Chen Ze followed Hui's gaze and took off the storage bag and held it in his hand.
"This thing is woven from the outer ruins, the mother's nest. The original piece of your body was also tempered by me."

"Uh-huh!" He puffed up his cheeks and shook his head like a rattle, swallowing the food in his mouth hurriedly.

"Of course I know. I'm not referring to the specialness of the Brood's nest, but here, here, and here."

Hui carefully put his fingers into his mouth and licked off the oil stains, and then pointed out on the storage bag.
"This sword gives me a very special feeling. The longer it goes by, the more obvious this feeling becomes."

This sword. Chen Ze stared at the sword-shaped mark on it, thinking that although he only knew how to eat and sleep, he had lived long enough to be well-informed.

Having said that, Chen Ze then remembered that this sword-shaped mark was obtained from the small mountain village of Zhang Houde's hometown at his first stop out of Shenzhen City.

At that time, the Ji family's old house was full of snake carcasses, surrounding a dry well sealed by a "snake cake", with an ancient sword sealed inside.

The ancient sword decayed rapidly after it was born, so Chen Ze had to refine it into a storage bag.

Decay!

At this moment, Chen Ze suddenly connected this phenomenon with what happened to the snake.

I didn't notice it at the time, but now it seems... wasn't it aimed at, crushed and devoured by heaven and earth? !
But it's obviously just an artifact. According to Chen Ze's experience, the artifact can be preserved.
Is it because of the "god" attached to the ancient sword?
That bit of "god" was transferred to the storage bag, but the storage bag was not implicated and was targeted by heaven and earth. This must be because the material of the "evil objects from the foreign ruins" can resist this kind of divine punishment.

"I almost forgot." Chen Ze remembered it again when he mentioned it.

"Those snakes must be related to you, right?"

The massive white-headed vipers in the Ji family's old residence are not native species to Gan Province.

As Chen Ze recounted the cause and effect of the incident, Hui admitted it.

"That's right. Didn't that Wang Lin at that time find an old man to come in and repair the ink brush? The one named Zhu."

"That guy surnamed Zhu is quite powerful. He was able to detect my presence and asked me for something."

"I thought he was here to repair Mo Dou, so I simply gave him some scales so that I could use them to control those lower-ranking people."

Chen Ze had long noticed that "Qigong Master" Wang Lin was proficient in the unique skill of snake charming, and the source was indeed the snake.

But when he heard this, Chen Ze added curiously: "Have you ever seen that guy named Zhu, and do you think he's pretty awesome?"

"It's just so-so." Hui curled his lips and said with disdain,

"I calculate it based on current standards."

"That person should be quite accomplished in magic and divination, but I don't understand that either."

"But I can feel the Yuan Qi in his body. Before that, I wouldn't even have been a master."

As he spoke, the snake stretched out a finger and lowered it to his knees.

"This is him."

The other hand stretched over the head in an exaggerated manner,
"This is the difference between me, him and me. Oops, I'm too lazy to jump up. Anyway, you understand what I mean."

He winked, and there was a hint of pride in his words.

At this point, many questions have been solved.

The matter was very clear. After the master surnamed Zhu repaired the ink pipe, he took the scales obtained from the snake and rushed to Ji Lianyuan's old house to drive Wan She to try to break the seal of the dry well.

Apparently he failed, leaving snake carcasses everywhere.

From various clues, it seems that although the master surnamed Zhu is proficient in divination and arithmetic, his own strength seems to be quite limited.

But why did he go to Ji's old house?

An idea flashed in Chen Ze's mind, and he realized that the root cause still lies in Qi refining!
The connection between Ji Lianyuan and Master Zhu is Wang Lin!

That is the whereabouts of the fragments of Qi Refining Technique! (End of chapter)
