In the evening, in the old city, in the small courtyard of Xu Fei's house.
The trio returned here again, but except for the monk, the remaining two looked a little embarrassed.
Liu Ying's hair was messy, with a few stupid hairs and big thorns standing on end. Her clothes were covered in dark red blood, which had obviously been wiped off not long ago.
Chang Luofeng was even more miserable, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were full of charred holes, and a section of his sleeves and trouser legs had been burned away.
"Sister Ying, Taoist Priest...what did you two do? Are you okay?" Xu Fei asked worriedly.
"Of course it's okay, it's not my blood." Liu Ying waved her hands casually, pretending to be nonchalant.
"I just asked you to buy a few bottles of the murderer's blood, and you ended up like this?" Chang Luofeng raised his head slightly and said with disdain.
"Doesn't it take time to go shopping in the store? It's so easy to find the right animal blood? It's faster than just killing a few! I'm here to let Xiao Fei train his body quickly, what do you know?"
Liu Ying rolled her eyes at him and thought, do you have the nerve to criticize me with your virtue?
Although I said this, the main reason was that I was frightened by the price. A bottle of blood from a century-old tiger spirit cost twenty crystals.
It's so deceiving. I have no choice but to call myself poor, so I have no choice but to hunt in small secret realms.
Glancing at Chang Luofeng, Liu Ying snickered and said, "Huh, what about you? You almost burned yourself by fishing for some lava?"
Chang Luofeng's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth slightly thinking of what he had experienced two hours ago:
"Elder Shang, that bad old man is very bad! There are countless restrictions buried in the cave. It's just a little bit of breaking the magma. It's a treasure! It's not easy for me to break out of the formation!"
Magma is somewhat useful to monks who practice fire-attribute skills, so it is usually sold for five crystals per bucket.
It's not very expensive, mainly because Xu Fei uses a lot of it, and he probably won't be able to hold it for thirty barrels.
So I had to go to the cave of the elder who practices fire-attribute skills in the sect to steal...borrow some for use.
Xu Fei looked around at the two of them. He was confused, a little moved and frightened.
It turned out that he was looking for materials to help him practice. He is such a good person...
But having said that, I am just doing basic basic training, with animal blood and magma, what do you want to do?
"Amitabha, Almsgiver Xu, I am a poor monk who has nothing to offer, so I can only lend you the Pure Heart Bead for your use."
Monk Kewu stepped forward and kindly put the Buddhist beads in his hand around Xu Fei's neck.
"Master, what use are these beads to me?" Xu Fei asked curiously.
"The Qingxin Pearl can enhance the five senses, clear the heart and focus, and prevent the donor from fainting." Monk Kewu explained with a smile.
"?"
Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, and asked in a panic: "What kind of training is this? Can you still faint? You guys should explain clearly first."
"It's just a lava bath, don't panic." Chang Luofeng explained.
"Lava? Bath?"
Xu Fei's eyes widened and he turned around and ran away.
Liu Ying grabbed him by the collar and joked: "What are you afraid of, young man? Why can't you bear this little pain for Xiao Leiyin?"
"Is this something to be punished? How can I see Lei Yin after washing the charcoal?" Xu Fei shouted, struggling to continue running away.
"Don't worry, my Taoist formation is unparalleled in the world. I'll make sure it's foolproof and won't hurt you." Chang Luofeng said with a smile.
"Array?"
Xu Fei calmed down. Although he didn't know what Chang Luofeng was going to do, he sounded like there were safety measures in place.
"Taoist Priest, have you made any mistakes in setting up this thing before? You tricked people into swallowing iron pillars." Xu Fei asked.
"I've only made one mistake in my life, and it happened a hundred years ago." Chang Luofeng replied.
"How many times have you arranged this in total in your life?" Xu Fei asked again.
"Only six times." Chang Luofeng replied again.
"goodbye!"
You have a failure rate of 16.7%, but you still have the nerve to be so confident. The more Xu Fei heard, the more unreliable it became.
"Donor Xu, don't be impatient. Why don't we lay it out first and take a look before making a decision?" Monk Kewu advised.
After hearing this, Xu Fei thought for a while and said, "Okay, just listen to the master."
He still trusted this monk, and he was always polite and polite.
Yesterday, I was careful and reliable when I protected myself. Apart from the pain in my name, I didn't seem to have any shortcomings.
Just do it.
Liu Ying unzipped her coat, revealing the 'fourth-dimensional pocket' that was firmly attached to her abdomen.
With an embarrassing sound effect, several large bottles of animal blood were taken out.
After opening the bottle cap, the smell was so strong that Xu Fei pinched his nose.
Chang Luofeng pulled off his jacket, which was already badly burned, and also exposed the 'fourth-dimensional pocket' attached to his abdomen.
While no sound effects appeared, a large water tank about two meters wide was taken out.
"Why does your Qiankun Bag have no sound effect?" Liu Ying asked in surprise.
"...This is probably broken."
Chang Luofeng said vaguely and continued to take out a large number of insulated buckets covered with talismans.
Liu Ying curled her lips, this stinking Taoist priest must have destroyed the sound effect function in the formation. She would have to force him to help her fix it no matter what she said.
Hoo ho ho.
The insulated barrel is opened, the surrounding temperature rises instantly, and the gurgling magma is poured into the large vat.
The strange thing is that the magma only adheres to the inner wall of the large tank and does not flow to the bottom of the tank.
Chang Luofeng made a secret with his hands, and the water vapor in the air gradually gathered, forming a large water ball, which was thrown into the vat.
But it is slightly separated from the magma layer and does not touch it.
"Xiao Fei, take off your clothes and jump in. There is no free lunch in the world. If you want to stand next to Xiao Leiyin, you have to be tough on yourself." Liu Ying said seriously with her hands on her hips.
Xu Fei took a deep breath, decided to give it a try, and said resolutely: "Okay! I'll give it a try."
Looking away at Liu Ying, Xu Fei turned around and returned to the bedroom, took off his clothes, quickly changed into a pair of swimming trunks and walked back to the yard.
Liu Ying rolled her eyes and complained: "Are you embarrassed? I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I have never seen anything..."
There are many monks in the world who can't afford spiritual clothes, and there are indeed many who were beaten by her until their clothes exploded...
Carefully avoiding the lava layer, Xu Fei jumped into the center of the large tank. Xu Fei felt that the water temperature was just right, and it was actually warm and comfortable.
"Boy, what you lack now is the most basic understanding of consciousness, matter, and yourself."
"And the easiest way is to let you experience it yourself. From now on, I will control the changes in the water tank while explaining it for you to experience."
Chang Luofeng had his hands behind his back and looked like he was giving advice, which was extremely inconsistent with his tattered clothes and temperament.
Xu Fei nodded, feeling that what the other party said was right, but he still felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to listen to what the other party said first.
"Do you know what people call the Five Elements?" Chang Luofeng asked.
"The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth."
Xu Fei blurted out, after all, Taoism is the state religion of China, and the theory of the Five Elements has been passed down since ancient times, so of course he knows it.
"What about the four elements of Xiyu?" Chang Luofeng asked again.
Xu Fei recalled the relevant posts he had seen on the Internet and replied: "The four elements of earth, water, fire and wind seem to have three derived hidden elements, light, darkness and nothingness."
Chang Luofeng shook his head and said: "It's all wrong. Our Taoist sect has been passed down for thousands of years. How can the Five Elements Theory be as simple as five elements?"
"The magic and alchemy of Xiyu have a long history. Do you think the 'elements' mentioned among the four elements are really literal?"
"Taoist Priest, please don't be so secretive and just tell me directly."
Xu Fei urged, thinking that if I knew this, I wouldn't ask you to help.
Chang Luofeng stretched out five fingers and said: "Qi, or energy, has five states: transmission, reception, storage, growth, and release. I don't need to explain the literal meaning, right?"
Xu Fei nodded seriously, this is easy to understand.
"This is the basic law of the formation of all things. Let me give you two examples." Chang Luofeng continued to explain.
"e=mcc, the energy conservation formula, refers to the conversion relationship between matter and energy. You should have learned it in junior high school physics class."
"If we could easily control this without wasting energy in the process..."
"Take you for example. If you convert all the flesh on your body into energy and throw it at people, you can probably produce the power of 180 nuclear warheads."
Xu Fei: "?????"
"This is why powerful extraordinary beings can burn the sky and cook the sea." Chang Luofeng said with a smile.
