Chapter 1073 – Human Demon After Realm
Chapter 1073 – Human Demon After Realm
After the devil seed was spat out, it hung silently in mid-air, emitting a strong fluctuation of devil qi.
Feeling the connection between her body and the magic seed, Xu Chuniang was more and more sure that this magic seed was the orb of the Golden Lion Playing with Pearls.
Recalling the movements and details of the Golden Lion Playing with Pearls, she imagined herself as a golden lion and manipulated the devil seed in front of her.
The Dao Fruit was the foundation of Immortality, and the Devil Seed was the origin of Devil, whether it was the Dao Fruit or the Devil Seed, they were all extremely important to people who cultivated the Dao.
Once the Taoist fruit or the devil seed is destroyed, the cultivator’s cultivation will be like a rootless wood, waterless ping ping, nine out of ten.
Therefore, very few people would expose their dao fruits and magic seeds, which was also the main reason why Xu Chuniang had not thought that the golden lion’s playful orb was a magic seed at first.
The devil seed was only the size of a projectile, but the power contained within it was terrifying, and it wasn’t easy to manipulate at all.
Xu Chuniang invoked her entire body’s senses, trying to play with the magic seed like the golden lion in the painting, but she was never able to do so.
In the course of practicing, she realized that the magic seed was not at all as light and controllable as the orb on the lion’s back, and with all her might, she could only barely manage to keep the magic seed from falling.
Only after practicing for less than two hours, Xu Chuniang stopped panting.
She wiped a handful of beads of sweat that had seeped out from her forehead, a faint fatigue showing in her eyes.
When she watched the golden lion play with the beads in the painting, she only realized that the golden lion’s posture was dexterous, its movements easy to write down, and that playing with the beads and dancing with them was as simple as breathing and drinking water.
When it really came to her own turn, she realized how difficult these seemingly simple movements were, and how much physical strength was needed for each movement.
Looks like, this set of gongfu is not something that can be practiced in a short period of time, so let’s stop here for today.
Xu Chuniang opened her mouth, swallowed the devil seed in her palm back into her stomach, took out a handful of devil crystals and began to absorb them.
After consuming these magic crystals, she realized that the speed at which she finished absorbing them seemed to be a few breaths faster than usual.
Could it be that it had something to do with the set of feats in the party?
In order to verify her suspicions, after regaining some of her strength, Xu Chuniang once again spat out the magic crystals and continued practicing those movements of the Golden Lion until the last ounce of strength in her body was exhausted, before she stopped sweating profusely.
After resting for a few moments, she sat down on her knees, took out the same amount of magic crystals as before and placed them around her body, reversing her gong method and practicing.
After absorbing all the magic qi from the crystals, Xu Chuniang confirmed her suspicion in her heart that practicing the physical art recorded on the Golden Lion Playing with Pearls diagram could indeed speed up the speed of her body’s absorption of magic qi.
Although the accelerated speed was only a sliver, but she hadn’t practiced this set of physical techniques for a long time in total, in the long run, as long as she persisted in practicing this set of physical techniques, the speed of absorbing the magic qi would definitely become faster and faster.
Xu Chuniang’s spirit was slightly revitalized, and she immediately decided to set aside three hours from her daily cultivation time to practice the Golden Lion Playing with Pearls physical art.
Even if she couldn’t comprehend this set of physical techniques in a short period of time, just for the fact that it would allow her body to increase the speed of absorbing demonic qi, it would be worth investing her time and energy.
Reducing her daily cultivation time by three hours had once slowed down Xu Chuniang’s cultivation speed by quite a bit, but as time went on, the speed at which she absorbed demonic qi grew faster and faster, and after six years of continuing in this manner, the efficiency of her cultivation had actually increased rather than decreased.
On this day, she spat out the demonic seed as usual, learning the movements of the golden lion and playing with the demonic seed.
After six long years of practice, compared to the first time she came into contact with this set of gongfu, her movements today, had become much more skillful, and gradually raised a point of tacit understanding with the demon seed.
But compared to the golden lion on the painting at the beginning, it was still a heaven and a hell, a huge gap.
Three hours later, Xu Chuniang gasped slightly and ended today’s practice.
When she first started practicing this set of gongfu, every time she finished practicing, she would break out in a sweat, and her entire body looked as if she had just been fished out of the water. To this day, when she finished practicing, she would only sweat a little.
This meant that Xu Chuniang’s utilization of the power within her body had become more and more precise and effective, without wasting too much of her strength.
She sat down on her knees, taking out the magic crystals as usual and began to cultivate, and as the gong method was reversed, a large amount of magic qi didn’t enter her body along the hundred orifices, ferociously wreaking havoc on every inch of flesh and blood.
After several years of hard cultivation, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation had already approached the Human-Devil After Realm, and was only a little bit short of the final point before she could break through to this realm.
And right now, this last bit of gap was being infinitely narrowed.
The devil seed within her body also seemed to sense something, and gently trembled.
Time passed quietly, the amount of demonic qi that was incorporated into Xu Chuniang’s body was increasing, and the speed at which she absorbed the demonic qi was also getting faster and faster.
Finally, at a certain moment, the limit of her body’s tolerance was once again broken, and the Demon Seed let out a tiny crunching sound as a tiny crack appeared at the top, starting to spread from top to bottom.
Immediately afterward, the magic seed was actually like a snake molting its skin, and began to shed its outermost film.
The whole process happened very quickly, but four or five breaths of work, the devil seed faded away the outermost film, the newborn devil seed looks, compared to before, more and more profound and inexplicable.
Xu Chuniang opened her eyes and stood up with a light sigh of relief, gently clenching her fists, intuitively feeling the increase in power.
Ten long years had passed since her seclusion, and after consuming two hundred thousand devil crystals, she had finally raised her cultivation in the devil path by two small realms, smoothly breaking through to the Human Demon After Realm.
Except for five years ago when the rent was due, she had briefly gone out once, never stopping her cultivation in the middle.
And now that another five years had passed, the rent that she had paid last time had once again expired, and it was time to renew the rent.
Xu Chuniang took out a stone talisman order and punched a transmission into it before leaving the cave.
The person responsible for the management of the cave in the southern district was still the snake-tailed demoness from before.
Seeing that compared to five years ago, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation had risen by another small realm, her eyes revealed a look of surprise, but quickly returned to normal.
Xu Chuniang handed over the prepared magic crystals, “This is twenty-five thousand magic crystals, and I’ll be renewing my lease for another five years for that previous cave.”
This time, the Snake-tailed Demoness didn’t take the magic crystals, but instead unhurriedly said, “I’m sorry, the cave mansion you lived in previously needs to be repaired, and will not be rented out for the time being.”
“Not renting it out?”
Xu Chuniang was a bit surprised, “Didn’t you say before that those were half-abandoned caves, they shouldn’t need repairs?”
The Snake-tailed Demoness explained, “These are all arrangements made by the higher-ups, I’m just following orders, and I’m equally unaware of what exactly has happened.”
“This way ah ……”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, “Then the other half-abandoned caves, do they also need to be repaired?”
The Snake-tailed Demoness was stunned, then nodded, “Of course.”
“Then how long do these caves need to be repaired?”
