Chapter 52 Demon
Chapter 52 Demon
"Master, what on earth is this?"
Li Qian looked at his master's serious expression and immediately realized that this black stone must be extraordinary.
"Have you ever heard of demons?"
Zhou Buping did not answer directly, but asked instead.
"Uh no."
Li Qian just shook his head.
He has read quite a few books and knows some information about this world.
But the level he was exposed to was very limited.
"It's normal that you don't know. In fact, most warriors, even some innate warriors from ordinary sects, may not know."
Zhou Buping nodded and said, "A long time ago, there were terrible demons in this land. They fed on humans and other creatures. It was not until the human martial arts developed to a certain level that the demons were finally driven out."
"Master, is this black stone related to demons?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
"Yes, if I am not mistaken, this is a demon stone. When a demon dies, its essence will condense into this demon stone. Of course, there is another saying that when a demon's strength reaches a certain level, this demon stone will condense in its body."
Zhou Buping nodded, "It is said that this demon stone is very polluting. After being swallowed by a living thing, it is easy to cause alienation. Moreover, over time, the swallowed creature may completely absorb the essence of the demon stone, complete the demonization, and transform into a real demon. It is said that only martial arts masters above the heavenly level can contend with real demons."
"This demon stone is so dangerous? I thought it was some kind of treasure."
Li Qian was very surprised.
Fortunately, he killed the earth dragon insect in time, otherwise it would have transformed into a demon, which would have been a disaster.
Only martial arts masters above the celestial level can deal with it, so you can imagine how powerful the real demon is.
"Haha, this demon stone is very dangerous to ordinary warriors, even innate warriors, but you don't have to be afraid of it."
Zhou Buping smiled and said, "It is recorded in an ancient book that my teacher has read that after cultivating an impermeable body, one can restrain the demon stone, and even absorb the demon essence in the demon stone, thereby continuing to push the impermeable body to become stronger. You have already cultivated an impeccable sword body, which contains impermeable characteristics, so I think it is possible."
"Master, can the Immaculate Sword Body be further improved?"
Li Qian was very surprised.
After he had mastered the Immaculate Sword Body, he tried to continue practicing but could not make any progress, as if he had already reached the limit of his physical body.
"I don't know about this, but it is mentioned in ancient books that using the demon stone can indeed make the body stronger."
Zhou Buping hesitated for a moment, then reminded, "Li Qian, don't rush to try it. Wait until your cultivation level is stronger. This way you will be more confident."
The demon stone can transform living creatures step by step into alienation, or even demonize them. The risk is too great.
Even if Li Qian has mastered the Immaculate Sword Body, he still has to be cautious.
"Master, don't worry. I won't try anything without absolute certainty."
Li Qian nodded and said.
He takes good care of his body.
Even if the Immaculate Sword Body cannot make further progress, it will be enough as long as one can steadily improve the realm of cultivation.
There's no need to take such a big risk.
"Ah."
Zhou Buping knew that his disciple had a calm personality and he really didn't need to worry too much.
After the conversation, Zhou Buping put his hands behind his back, walked out of the bell tower leisurely, and headed down the mountain, ready to take a walk to digest his thoughts.
Li Qian looked at the black stone in his hand and never expected it to have such a great origin.
Demon stone.
Youma
According to Master, demons are almost extinct now, and if they appear occasionally, they will be quickly strangled.
Finally, Li Qian wrapped the black stone tightly with a thick layer of oil paper, and finally put it in a wooden box and hid it in the cellar.
This demon stone can transform living creatures, so its storage must be handled with extreme care.
He was in no hurry to study the Black Stone.
Anyway, I will soon break through to the late stage of the Innate True Qi Realm.
Wouldn't it be safer to wait until you reach the True Yuan Realm or even the True Dan Realm before studying the black stone?
Li Qian suddenly looked at the child who had been sitting quietly with messy hair, and took him to take a bath.
"Wait, why is it a woman?"
He suddenly froze.
At first, looking at his appearance, I thought he was a boy.
After the child took a bath, Li Qian asked her to change into new clothes, which he bought for the child in Linjian City.
"Go to sleep now."
Li Qian let the child sleep on the bed where his master had slept before.
The child lies down and closes his eyes.
So obedient.
How can he be a fool?
Li Qian shook his head, blew out the oil lamp, and went to the top of the bell tower.
Not long after, the sound of gongs could be heard faintly from the distant mountain.
Li Qian adjusted all the hourglasses.
Then he took out his sword next to the Chen Bell and practiced the Wuxin Sword Technique to comprehend the meaning of the sword.
After finishing one time, he started practicing the Soul-Chasing Sword Technique.
While practicing swordplay, the sound of bells continued in his mind.
After practicing sword skills, Li Qian was very satisfied to see that his progress in the Soul-Chasing Sword Skill had improved a little bit.
After returning to the house, Li Qian heard the child move a little, obviously not asleep yet.
He walked over.
Then I saw the child quickly closed his eyes.
It doesn't seem particularly stupid.
Li Qian smiled, returned to his bed, sat cross-legged, placed the sword across his legs, and communicated with the sword with his unintentional sword intent.
This is a unique sword-maintaining technique in the Wuxin Sword Technique.
Long-term sword training can allow the sword and the swordsman to form a very special connection, like the control of an arm or finger, or even as a part of the body, ultimately achieving the unity of man and sword.
When one reaches this level of sword training, it can be called a divine sword.
the next day.
It was still the hour of Yin when Li Qian woke up on time.
The child's breathing was steady and he was obviously sleeping soundly.
After Li Qian washed up, he opened the lid of the coal stove, put in a few pieces of dry coal, and began to wash the rice. He chopped up various medicinal ingredients and exotic animal jerky and threw them into the pottery pot for cooking porridge, and finally put it on the coal stove to boil.
After doing all this, he came to the bell tower.
The white fog was vast, covering the mountains and hills.
Today will be another sunny day.
Li Qian walked up to Chen Zhong and stroked it gently.
The texture is warm and mellow.
As if it was a part of his body.
Time passes minute by minute.
As the sand in an hourglass ran out, Li Qian grabbed the striker with one hand and exerted light force, and one end of the striker hit the Chen Bell heavily.
Boom!
A clear bell sound also rang out, spreading towards the distance and echoing in the sky above the Divine Sword Gate.
The ringing of the morning clock heralds the beginning of the day.
Amid the lingering sound of the bell, Li Qian first swallowed a handful of Qi and Blood Pills, then got into position and began to practice.
Just after finishing practicing Wuxin Sword Technique for a big cycle, a thin figure slowly walked up the stairs.
It's that kid.
The child stood at the stairs and didn't come closer. He just stared blankly at Li Qian who was practicing sword.
Li Qian noticed the child going upstairs, but did not stop.
Because I can't stop.
After practicing for one big cycle, his progress in the middle stage of the True Qi Realm naturally reached 100.
The transformation has officially begun.
From the middle stage of the True Qi Realm, breaking through to the late stage——
This process is irreversible.
