Chapter 5: Raising spirit and entering the cave to find jade bones
Demon Face Fruit.
Steward Mi made the fruit with the corpse of a half-demon mixed with ‘cold crystal water’. If eaten, it can produce meat and increase energy.
For a plaster skin like Maowei, which is weak and lacks essence, no matter how hard you practice, you can't squeeze out the essence from the body and condense it into a 'qi chakra'. Only by taking powerful medicines to nourish the body can you slowly raise the essence back.
"If you want to practice the "Method of Refining Zhizhi by Taking Five Qi", the main point lies in 'zhi' and 'qi'. I don't know the qi yet. This 'zhi' is meat mushroom. Eat the meat mushroom first to run the technique, and finally use it in your belly.
Mix the essence for a large stove to refine the 'Rouzhi Qi Chakra'."
"Your body is weak and you can't squeeze out your energy. You need to eat demon noodles fruit to replenish your body first."
Maowei immediately nodded when he heard this, reached out to take the demon-faced fruit handed over by Cheng Yuan, stuck out his fat deer tongue from his mouth, licked the leopard face on the fruit clean, and swallowed it into his mouth with a grunt.
When the fruit enters your mouth, it immediately turns into a stream of light that spreads throughout your body, and a trickle of heat rushes from your buttocks to the top of your head.
"Operation technique! Refining the essence first!"
The "Method of Refining Zhizhi by Taking Five Qi" which was ripped out from the skin of the old half-demon comes with two methods, one is about raising meat Zhizhi in captivity, and the other is the key to refining essence.
Immediately after realizing it, Mao Wei sat cross-legged on the ground with his consciousness focused on the center of his eyebrows, slowly closed his eyes and started to work.
"The spirit of calming the mind descends to the horse, the breath lifts up the upper abdomen, and the breath is in the lower abdomen. When the two meet in the middle, water and fire will work together..."
As Mao Wei performed the exercises, a pale white brilliance gradually appeared in his sea of consciousness. These brilliance became brighter and brighter, gradually converging into a human figure. Along with it, every muscle in his body was being squeezed continuously.
Release wisps of essence.
The translucent figure opened its mouth, inhaling and exhaling rhythmically. After a while, a meridian network appeared in the figure's body.
Starting from the heart, first to the head, then to the limbs.
As the meridians are fully manifested, the essence squeezed out of the muscles turns into little bits of white light, swimming around in the meridians, and gradually being absorbed by the transparent figure.
A few more weeks have passed.
"Calm down!!"
Cheng Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in the sea of consciousness. Mao Wei originally wanted to continue walking for another week, but suddenly, he was overwhelmed by endless bone soreness, followed by a sense of weakness revealed in every muscle.
I opened my eyes suddenly, feeling a pain in my waist muscles, and then I fell to the ground and gasped for air.
Next to.
Cheng Yuan also sat with his legs crossed, with three Yunzhi-shaped round wheels surrounding his back, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
After burning the incense, Cheng Yuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the trembling Mao Wei and couldn't help but smile: "I told you not to be greedy for merit."
"Even if your thin body has the fruit as a tonic, your bones will have to be buffered for a certain period of time after being exposed to the cold in the mines for many years."
"Be anxious. Hehe!"
Cheng Yuan took out a black token with his backhand, threw it out and said: "I can add another guard to my men. Tomorrow you will patrol the mine with me."
"Good! Finally no need to dig that damn mine."
Maowei took the token and took a look through the moonlight.
Made of black iron, with the word "guard" engraved on it.
As expected, we are still reliable brothers.
Cheng Yuan patted him and said: "The medicinal power of the fruit should still be stored for a few days. When you are full of energy, you can start practicing."
Only with sufficient energy can it be possible to condense the ‘Rouzhi Round Wheel’.
Cheng Yuan bent his deer hoof and stretched out his hand towards him.
Maowei let out a breath and put his hands together, shaking his thighs and slowly standing up from the ground.
The two walked side by side slowly towards the nest.
Speechless all night.

"Manager Cheng! You are here~!"
"Bah! Running dog!"
"Why hasn't Empress Nuwa taken you to the underground yet?"
Tianwaitian, the place where immortals and gods live in mythology.
Underground, the place where evil spirits live in mythology.
As they walked through the cave, compliments and curses continued to be heard. Cheng Yuan did not respond but just smiled lightly.
"See? They are all a bunch of mindless beasts."
After hearing this, Maowei took the scimitar and looked around.
Looking around, he saw half-demon looking at him with poisonous faces, and the sound of the mining pickaxes in their hands was like a death knell.
"Without wisdom and brains, putting a half-demon in charge will turn all the contradictions around."
"Do you think they are wild beasts?" Cheng Yuan asked, pointing to the mining half-monsters who seemed to be tireless.
Maowei put down his scimitar and shook his head. He didn't know how to answer. Years of mining may have numbed himself.
Demon; knows how to think, has wisdom, and can control himself.
Beast; ignorant of thinking, indulge in self-indulgence.
"If we didn't have this 'dog skin', we would be like them sooner or later."
There is something vague about Mao Wei.
"Have you recovered? Time is running out. I'm going to 'Rouji' today to collect sesame seeds to convince me. You can keep an eye on me."
"It's slowing down."
Maowei grinned and scratched his deer head with his hand.
"I just feel a little itchy, but everything else is fine."
Maowei paused, laughed innocently, looked at the scimitar in his hand, and said: "I am much more powerful now than before."
Cheng Yuan also smiled and said: "Let's go and take a walk."
In the evening, beside the cauldron.
"Cut the skin!"
Rows of half-demon took out their knives and pointed them at the wooden bowls underneath. There was a banging sound and cold crystals fell into the bowls. Cheng Yuan and the fox half-demon bent down to pick them up.
After having Cheng Yuan and the others, Steward Mi will not do such despicable things. Han Jing is full of dirty half-demon blood, and Steward Mi is afraid of dirtying his hands.
When Cheng Yuan, who was holding a brown leather whip, walked up to them, all the half-demon being skinned looked over, with a hint of fear in their nervous eyes.
The identity of the other party has changed from the oppressed to the oppressor.
Eat, mine, and sleep.
Midnight,
Inside the abandoned mine.
Hanshui Mine has been mining for many years, and some caves have long been dug dry.
Cheng Yuan and Maowei dragged a mummy towards the cave.
The corpses of the half-demon who had rioted before were placed at the entrance of a blocked cave. Cheng Yuan and Mao Wei took advantage of the darkness to secretly drag a few over.
It should also be caused by Mi Guanshi's magic. All the corpses have no blood.
"Yuan'er! Here we are."
Cheng Yuan looked at the 'Rouji' in front of him and nodded.
Flesh base; circles of white jade-like demon bones are arranged in a ring shape, with flesh and blood rotten into mud piled in the center. Wisps of red mist overflow from the meat mud, surrounding the bones, and there are three more on the edge.
Meat cheese with blood streaks.
"Throw it over."
Maowei nodded and threw the cat-headed half-demon on his back into the meat.
As soon as the skinny body touched the red mist, it immediately made a hissing sound, and the fleshy skin quickly collapsed. When it touched the meat paste again, a rich and extremely fragrant aroma instantly filled the surrounding area.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yuan put some cold crystal chips inside to supplement the cold energy to balance the hot blood energy in the meat base.
The meat base was not built by the two of them, but was found next to the corpse of the old half-demon.
“It smells so good!”
Maowei approached the jade bone and greedily sniffed the fragrant smell.
Cheng Yuan ignored the fragrance and bent down to pick up a jade bone and looked at it carefully.
There are writings the size of mosquitoes engraved on it.
