Chapter 41: Wisdom plus brain hole equals - Iron Ball Man
Scared away the black bear, Pan Long continued to practice in the camp.
The Earth Evil's body tempering is a complicated process. Although the most difficult step has been completed, there are still many things to be done in the future.
The remaining earthly evil power accumulated in the body needs to be refined. Only by refining all these earthly evil powers can he pick the Tiangang to temper himself.
The Earth Demon and Tiangang are one heavy and the other clear and spiritual. The two represent the transformation tendency of the yin and yang ends of the heaven and earth's vital energy. If the two meet directly, the explosion will not be possible, but it will offset it.
It is actually nothing to offset, but when the two energetic energy of heavy and clear spirit are offset, it will be transformed into a large amount of ordinary aura.
In nature, this situation is a sudden gust of wind.
But if this happens inside the human body...
Forensic: Sorry, the body of the deceased is so broken that I can't put it together.
At that time, will it be written on his tombstone, "This person's way of death is the same as Zhao Wuji, and it is everywhere?"
Pan Long shivered and hurriedly focused on practicing, using the Nine-Turn Xuan Gong to dissolve the remaining wisps of the Earthly Demon power in his body, allowing it to be restored to a thick vitality and promote physical strengthening.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and sighed.
“Too slow!”
Compared with the efficiency of directly using Earth Evil to temper the body, the efficiency of refining the residual Earth Evil’s power is so slow that it is outrageous.
Look at the sky, the sun is approaching the west horizon.
Since lunch, he has been refining the remaining power of the Earth Evil, but until now, half a day has passed, and the power of the Earth Evil he has refined is only one percent at most... Maybe less than yet.
If this continues, he suspects that he may have exhausted the spiritual energy of the Shanhai Sutra and has to return to the Jiuzhou World, and he cannot complete the complete refinement of the Earth Demon Heavenly Gang.
"No! This doesn't work!" He said to himself, "Time is money, time is life, and time is spiritual energy! I have to think of a way to improve efficiency!"
He tried hard to recall the content of the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Art, but found that refining the power of the Earth Evil was really a skill, and there was no way to accelerate it.
Of course, if his cultivation is deep enough and his attainment in the Nine Turns Mysterious Art reaches a certain level, the refining speed can naturally become faster. For example, Shi Gandang, the ancestor of the stubborn stone, might take a sip of the Earth Evil, and he can immediately refine it, as convenient as drinking water.
But this is too far away from him...
Pan Long sighed, sat bored in front of the fire pit, waiting for the broth in the pot to be stewed.
Of course, jerky can be eaten directly, but it can be cooked into broth and noodles. Whoever wants to eat jerky that is so hard that it can be used as a stick!
Soon, the broth was cooked, and he hurriedly took a bite and frowned.
It's a bit salty, so the salt is added when marinating this piece of meat.
Forget it, just salty, just add some water.
He took out the water bag and added water to the broth. He watched the water slowly pour into the pot, and suddenly a vague thought arose in his heart, as if he had some inspiration.
In order to maintain inspiration, he could only keep this movement. Seeing that the water in the pot was getting more and more, it finally flooded and flowed to the ground.
After pouring all ten kilograms of water into a bag, Pan Long closed his eyes.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"I have a way!"
The way he thought of was to collect the evil spirits and continue to temper his body.
Theoretically, there is no hard rule that the body quenching of the Earth Evil Tiangang must be alternately carried out. The reason for the system to be alternately carried out is mainly because the body quenching of the Earth Evil will make the body heavy, and the body quenching of the Heaven Evil will make the body lighter. Too heavy or too light will be inconvenient and will not be conducive to exerting one's own strength.
The ideal situation is to combine hardness and softness and appropriate severity.
However, if the practitioner does not care about excessive heaviness or excessive lightness, then he can of course stare at one of the Earth Demon Heavenly Gangs and continue to temper it.
As for the end, you will temper yourself to walk like an iron ball and only use rolling, or you will temper yourself into a hydrogen balloon that is about to drift away with the wind without anyone pulling it. That is your choice.
Death is done by oneself, and no one can blame others.
Pan Long thought carefully for a long time, and repeatedly calculated, and made up his mind to make sure that his thoughts were fine.
The next morning, he set out to the black mud where the Earth Demons were located, collected a lot of Earth Demons, and then rushed back.
Then, the screams echoed in the jungle again.
In the evening, the screams finally stopped. Pan Long, covered in blood, was gasping for breath, but there was a bit of thought in his eyes.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but he always feels that this tempering is not as painful as last time.
"Can you say... this kind of pain can also be adapted to? It's unlikely..."
Wake up and it was a sunny morning again.
Pan Long had a big meal, but unexpectedly found that he had become heavier again.
If he had just been tempered last time, his body was so heavy that he had carried a bag of rice and climbed several floors, he might have carried four or five bags of rice now.
It's very heavy, but it's still consuming, so there's no big problem.
After a good rest for a day, he also slightly refined some of the power of the Earthly Evil. Pan Long set out again to pick the Earthly Evil.
This and this were repeated three times.
After the fourth Earth Demon tempering, his body was already so heavy that it was unreasonable. When he was walking, he stepped on it and half of his leg was trapped in the soil. If he did not use internal force, let alone running, it would be impossible to walk quickly. He could only walk slowly step by step.
Even if he uses his internal strength to perform his light skills, it is just equivalent to the speed of an ordinary healthy person walking briskly.
If it were a race, even if a child was healthy, he would not be able to catch up with any of them as long as he was healthy and had no crutches or had his legs broken.
The only way to temporarily solve the problem is to use the skill "Xiaoqiang Run". When he uses this skill, he can still run fast on the ground, without falling into it at all, and without slowing down his speed at all.
It’s a pity that this skill consumes magic. In order to prevent unexpected situations, he can still travel through the soil with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Pan Long knew that the Earth Demon's body was almost his limit.
If his body is tempered like this, his body will be able to bear it, but he is afraid that it is really like an iron ball and he can only walk by rolling.
Others use their brains to burst into cremation of wisdom, and finally become the Iron Man flying in the sky. He uses his brains to burst into sparks of wisdom, and eventually becomes the Iron Man rolling on the ground?
The inconvenience is second, that's too embarrassing!
Through these four Earth Demon Tempering Body, Pan Long discovered another unexpected and reasonable situation.
The impact of the Earth Demon Tempering Body on him is declining.
Whether it is the positive body quenching effect or the negative pain, it is all decreasing.
The only thing that has not decreased is the increase in weight after body quenching.
He was a little puzzled at first, but after a little thought, he understood - just like drugs can develop resistance, the repeated quenching of the same evil body will also make the body feel patient.
"No wonder the Nine Turns Mysterious Technique needs to widely collect various Earth Evils and Tiangang to temper the body, but it turns out that this is the reason."
"If you consider this way, using different Earth Evils and different Tiangang to temper your body will not only have the reinforcement effect, but also produce different additional effects based on the Earth Evils and Tiangang, right?"
"What effect will the Earth Demon I use now have?"
Pan Long thought, but there was no answer for the time being.
He has no research on Earth Evil and Tiangang, no introduction to the martial arts, and the Taishang Patriarch has not explained these in detail to him - perhaps the Taishang Patriarch has not considered these, or perhaps the Taishang Patriarch feels that the fragmentary extra effects are insignificant, and strengthening himself is the only thing worth paying attention to...
"Oh! When I return to Jiuzhou World, I must collect detailed information about Disha and Tiangang!"
In fact, it is not difficult to collect these information. The official official of the Daxia Dynasty must have it. If you find a master with a certain identity in the court, you will naturally get it. For example, Du Pengcheng, the "Nine-Eyed Demon Captain" who had deliberately approached him in northern Yizhou, you will definitely find information about this.
Or, he could go to a county town to find bookstores that sell idle books, and ask those book collectors who are keen on various miscellaneous studies.
Those people may not have high martial arts skills, and their intelligence may not be timely, but the information is mostly quite comprehensive.
If it really doesn't work, he can still go back to Ren's house and ask his grandfather for advice. Even if his grandfather doesn't know, the ancestors should know.
So Pan Long didn't worry about this.
In fact, he was looking forward to what additional benefits he could get this time?
He repeatedly collected and tempered his body four times for the same Earth Demon, which is definitely enough to produce additional effects!
However, the most important question right now is... moving.
Because his weight became too heavy, he was already struggling in the forest. The ground here was full of soil, and there were even thick fallen leaves piled up in many places. When he stepped on it, it was no longer a problem with half of his legs, but half of his body was about to sink into it.
"Xiaoqiang Running" can temporarily solve the problem, but he can't live by relying on "Xiaoqiang Running"!
This obviously doesn't work!
Pan Long had thought of a solution. For example, he once tried to make two long wooden boards similar to sleds and tied them to his feet to disperse the pressure.
The method was just right at the beginning. Although he walked slowly, he finally stopped falling into the ground.
But after walking a few steps, the wooden board under his right foot cracked and broke.
He raised his right foot awkwardly to see what happened, but a click came from his left foot.
I realized at a glance that the wooden board could not bear his weight and broke off where he stepped on it.
Pan Long pondered for a while and felt that he might need to make two "stilts" similar to the shape of a pyramid. From top to bottom, it gradually became larger, so that the pressure could be fully dispersed and avoided concentration.
But the problem is that making such things requires good carpenter skills and specialized tools such as nails and planes.
Of course he didn't have any of these.
So he had to move.
He couldn't live in the woods anymore, so he had to move to the stone ground to live more comfortably.
Although sleeping on a stone may be uncomfortable, at least half of the leg will not fall into the stone ground after just one step.
After dismantling the tent and packing up his things, he added two more rounds outside the camp to resist horses - this camp might be useful in the future, and it would be a pity to abandon it completely.
Pan Long used his skills and leaped like a flying stone in the forest, like a big stone thrown out by a catapult cart. He galloped in the air and broke countless branches along the way.
With his physical strength, as long as he runs at high speed, not to mention branches, even a slightly thinner tree will be knocked down by him or even broken directly!
