Chapter 5: Swallowing Essence to Nourish Marrow

When the old man asked about his "parents", he made up a random excuse to fool him.

He knew the old man's family situation, so he could deal with some of the old man's questions with ease.

At night, everything was quiet, the moon was high, and the breeze was blowing.

After comforting Grandma Ge to sleep, Li Yu sat cross-legged on the bed in the room that Grandma Ge had cleaned up for him.

He lifted his sleeves and revealed the blood boil Yin Curse on his arm.

This dark red hideous blood mark was entrenched on his arm, as thick as a little finger and about half a foot long, like a scarlet centipede!

I don't know if it was his illusion, Li Yu clearly felt that the color of this blood mark was a little darker than during the day, and even the cold and strange aura entrenched in his arm seemed to be a little stronger.

Affected by this, his body felt a little cold, as if he had caught a cold.

Looking at the blood boil Yin Curse on his arm, Li Yu's face was as gloomy as water and he remained silent.

He could feel that this blood boil curse was slowly eating away his blood and vitality, and even subtly affecting his mind!

If time went on for a long time, he would probably gradually lose himself, his consciousness would dissipate, and he would die, becoming a half-corpse, half-ghost slave, and eventually being driven by others.

Fortunately, although Li Yu could not solve this blood boil curse, relying on his vision and experience in his previous life, at least it would be no problem to delay it for some time.

This strange curse was obviously eating away his blood and polluting his spirit. To solve it, he must first strengthen his spirit.

In this way, it can be delayed for a while longer.

"Swallowing Yuan to Nourish Marrow" can do this.

This method was obtained by Li Yu in his previous life. It is not a Taoist book that can refine true qi, but a health-preserving method to strengthen the foundation, nourish the essence, and replenish the marrow.

The Taoist books in the Earthly Dry Realm are all strictly divided into levels.

From low to high, they are: ordinary quality - exquisite quality - side door quality - mysterious quality - authentic quality - magical quality - peerless quality - legendary quality - supreme quality.

This Taoist book is only of ordinary quality, not even exquisite quality, but it has one advantage.

Although this method is quite shallow, it can refine essence and transform qi through "eating", nourish the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit, and make him strong quickly.

It is precisely because of this that the value of this Taoist book is by no means inferior to ordinary exquisite quality Taoist books!

With Li Yu's wisdom, he has already understood this "Swallowing Yuan to Nourish Marrow" quite thoroughly, and even in some aspects, he has a higher level of insight.

So now he can practice directly, without any problem.

He did it as soon as he said it. Next, he emptied his mind, thought about it, and the whole person immediately entered the state.

Even the breathing rhythm changed.

It became fast and slow, and the breathing was rapid and fierce for a while, like a spirit snake exhaling, and then it was slow and long, like a black turtle taking in air.

Three long and nine short, fast and slow in order, the rhythm is quite mysterious.

The blood in the body speeds up the circulation, and the peristalsis of the stomach speeds up.

In this way, time passes bit by bit.

An hour later, Li Yu feels that his stomach, which had just been full, has disappeared, and the food in his stomach has been completely digested.

At the same time, a warm current rises up, turning into countless streams flowing through his limbs and bones, and all parts of his body.

In an instant, his whole body seems to be soaked in a hot spring, warm and comfortable.

When this warm current is exhausted, Li Yu feels that his originally weak and cold body has become warmer, and even has some strength, and even his mental state has improved a lot.

The only discordant thing is that there is a gurgling sound in his stomach.

He is hungry again...

He found half a piece of bread from the kitchen and simply filled his stomach. When he returned to the room, Li Yu began to think about his next plan.

At present, he has two urgent things to do as soon as possible.

1. Obtain the Chilong Remnant Jade in Liu's Mansion, obtain the Taoist book inheritance behind it, and become a cultivator.

2. Solve the blood boil Yin curse.

The blood boil Yin curse is easy to deal with. With the "Swallowing Yuan to Nourish Marrow Technique", at least he doesn't have to worry too much in the short term.

As for the Chilong Remnant Jade, there is a special inheritance hidden behind this thing, and Li Yu must get it.

The two evil cultivators in Liu's Mansion are a problem, but Li Yu is not worried about it.

He just went to seek the Chilong Remnant Jade, not to confront the two evil cultivators directly, so although this matter is difficult, it is not without a way.

In addition, according to his calculations, in half a year, many players known as the "Fourth Disaster" will continue to descend on the Earth Dry Realm.

Players have always been synonymous with chaos, profit, greed, and instability, and each of them is a bold master who dares to do almost anything.

When the players descend on this world, relying on the power of immortality, they will set off a wave and break the tranquility of the Earth Dry Realm in the past.

And judging from the girl with the bloody curse today, the great catastrophe of strange demons that will appear in the next year has already begun to show its signs!

The great catastrophe of strange demons is a catastrophe that sweeps across the entire Earth Dry Realm. In the early stage, it will breed many evil spirits and demons, causing chaos in the world, attracting many hidden immortal sects and independent cultivators to descend to the mortal world to slay demons and eliminate demons.

In the middle and late stages, there will be many strange places, death forbidden areas, ghost kingdoms, demon domains and other terrible forbidden areas.

Then the demons will dance wildly, the evil spirits will wreak havoc, and the demons will run rampant.

At that time, the Earth Dry Realm will be in a real precarious situation!

At that time, not to mention ordinary people, even low-level practitioners will be as weak as ants, and only high-level practitioners will have a certain degree of self-protection.

The future is full of twists and turns

Li Yu felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

He knew very well that he had to become stronger quickly before the players arrived!

In this way, after the players arrived, he would have the opportunity to use his NPC identity to fool the players, make a lot of money, and step into some dangerous areas, explore some opportunities in his memory, and strengthen his strength step by step.

In this way, he can survive and occupy a place in the future evil catastrophe.

Otherwise, if you are slow in one step, you will be slow in every step.

Once his strength is insufficient, he will lose many opportunities to rise in the future.

One month later, early morning.

In the yard, Li Yu was chopping wood with an iron axe.

The heavy iron axe moved like flying in his hand, as light as nothing.

With one axe, the wood was evenly split.

After chopping a pile of wood, Li Yu's forehead was covered with sweat. He put down the axe with a refreshed look and wiped his sweat with a towel.

At this time, he was in good shape and at least an inch taller than a month ago.

The skinny body that looked like a bag of bones had disappeared, replaced by plump and powerful, angular muscle lines, and the proportion of the skeleton and body was also close to perfect and smooth.

Add to that the bright eyes and the delicate and fair face.

Compared with a month ago, he is now a world apart, and no one can tell that it is the same person!

The new book has been signed, and I hope you will support it, thank you!
