Chapter 4 Quenching

Time flies.

It has been twenty-seven days since Mu Jingchen turned into a beggar and entered the WTO, and with the help of Bai Ning, Mu Jingchen successfully survived the difficult period at the beginning of his accession to the WTO.

Now he has been able to successfully let go of the burden of immortal cultivators, and gradually accepted the image of a beggar who entered the WTO, begging along the street every day and watering the vegetable fields.

It was really cold and did not want to sit on the ground for a long time and suffer from the cold, so he took a roll of hemp rope and a firewood knife up the mountain to pick up the fallen wood on the ground, or cut some wood himself and went back to make a fire in the future, and if there was really a surplus, he sent it to the inn to sell.

Ordinary life went on like this, and on the twenty-third day he actually bought a thin worn-out quilt from a pawn shop with the copper casting obtained from begging and selling firewood.

"Hey, Mu Jingchen, it's been the twenty-seventh day, I've memorized the Breathing Heart Method, just last night, I can also sense the vitality you said, and in three days it will be the day you and I agreed, tell me how you prepared truthfully."

On the twenty-seventh day, Bai Ning came to the abandoned house early and woke up Mu Jingchen, who was still asleep.

"Don't worry, although it is extremely difficult to cultivate with this body, but the cultivation before reaching the middle three realms does not need to consume much vitality, most of the cultivation is skills and perceptions, I am practicing for the second time, I have experience, although I am limited by the body, but it does not affect my cultivation progress, I have now reached the triple level of body forging, you concentrate on practicing the breathing technique, and after three days, you can rest assured that you can draw qi and quench your body." Mu Jingchen said to Bai Ning with great confidence.

"That's good."

Bai Ning responded, took out a cornmeal nest from his cotton coat and put it on Mu Jingchen's quilt, sat in the abandoned house for a while and left.

"Although it is true that the cultivation has reached the triple level of forging the body, only when the cultivation reaches the Qi refining period can the Yuan Qi that is guided over be more subtlely controlled, otherwise it is just blindly using the Yuan Qi to infuse the body, and if there is less, the effect will not be achieved, and if there are more people who are poured into the Yuan Qi, they will explode and die when they are not long. Even if I had cultivated to reach the Divine Refining Realm and had the experience of guiding the Yuan Qi, I only had a trace of soul attached to the rune paper villain when I entered the world, and now that my cultivation has been cleared, it is already a new beginning. If the guidance is improper, after three days, the quenching body, Bai Ning still has the risk of exploding and dying, and the matter after three days is still not very safe, so it should not be tried easily. After Bai Ning left, Mu Jingchen's face changed his previous confidence, and he immediately sank his face and thought so. But then he shook his head again, thinking to himself, if he said it truthfully, Bai Ning kid should think that I lied to him and wouldn't agree.

"Anyway, there are still three days left, so let's wait. Let's see if we can find a random reason to fool around and postpone it for a while. Thinking so, he took out the cornmeal nest that was still warm from Bai Ning's arms before eating it, and cleaned up the quilt.

After folding the quilt, Mu Jingchen moved away, removed the firewood piled up in the corner of the abandoned house, and hid the quilt, after hiding the quilt, he poured some water into the vegetable patch, and then took a wide-mouthed bowl with a broken corner and walked slowly towards Taiping Town with a homemade cane.

Three days later.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Mu Jingchen was still asleep, a dark shadow walked into the abandoned house and approached him, and then a cold little hand reached into his quilt, reached into his cotton jacket and put it on his warm stomach.

"Cold." , Mu Jingchen was about to sit up with a cold reflex, but before he could sit up, Bai Ning's somewhat wilted child's voice came from his ears, "Stupid Immortal Venerable, I'm ready, are you ready?" ”

"It's ready, it's ready, it's true that you can quench your body now, but if you quench your body now, there will be risks, if you want to be safe, you have to wait for me to reach the Qi refining period." After being woken up by Bai Ning, Mu Jingchen was not angry, but said to Bai Ning with a sincere face.

"Oh, okay then, then wait until you reach the Qi refining period." Bai Ning looked a little lost, lowered her head and said disappointedly.

Mu Jingchen didn't expect Bai Ning to be so easy to speak, and was about to respond, but before he could speak, he saw Bai Ning's lowered head and immediately raised it again, with a hint of compassion on his face, "Do you want me to say that?" Mu Jingchen. ”

"No, you misunderstood, this time it is really risky, I promise that I will quench your body when you reach the Qi refining period, and I can make a vow here." Mu Jingchen waved his hand again and again, defending himself in a panicked tone.

"I know, maybe what you said is true, there is a real risk in quenching, but I don't want to give up this opportunity." Bai Ning saw Mu Jingchen so flustered, raised his head and lowered it again, and after a long time, he spoke again, his voice was not loud, and his speech speed was a little slow.

"That's not the case, what I say is true." Mu Jingchen was about to say this, but before he could open his mouth, Bai Ning began to speak slowly and quietly.

"There are two reasons why you say this, the first is that you are really good for me, if so, I understand it, but I will still refuse you because I don't want to wait, maybe I can't afford to wait." Speaking of this, Bai Ning paused again.

After a short pause, Bai Ning continued.

"Or, is it the second reason, you don't have this ability at all, you just want me to give up, and then continue to deceive me, if that's the case, it's impossible, the month that was said at the beginning is a month, who knows when you will cultivate to the Qi refining period, and I'm not a cultivator, so it's not up to you to say how you cultivate. In case, three years later, five years later, you still say that you haven't cultivated to the point, then I can't wait forever, the risk and the reward are proportional, even if there is a risk this time, I will admit it, and if I really die because of this, I will have no regrets. When the second reason was said, Bai Ning was obviously a little excited, and his words quickly carried a little anger and unwillingness.

Mu Jingchen's mouth opened after hearing this, and he swallowed his saliva, all the words he wanted to say before came to his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say it, and he swallowed it back and blocked it in his heart.

"Well, now that you've made your decision, then I respect your choice." Mu Jingchen paused when he said this.

"I'll help you." After being silent for a long time, this sentence came out of Mu Jingchen's mouth, and his clear voice became a little hoarse compared to before, and he panicked in his heart.

"Thank you." , Bai Ning thanked Mu Jingchen, and his voice was a little cold.

"Make a fire to keep warm, remember that when I sit down cross-legged, I will gather the energy I need for the next six hours, and I will not be able to move during this time, and you must make sure that I will not be disturbed by others during this time." Mu Jingchen responded.

After saying that, Mu Jingchen brought firewood and set it up in a pile, and a few stones were simply gathered around to make a simple windproof fire, and after watching Bai Ning light the fire, Mu Jingchen sat down cross-legged and began to gather vitality, during which Bai Ning and Mu Jingchen did not say a word.

Mu Jingchen, who sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, silently recited the Dharma in his heart, breathing slowly and longly, while breathing, he himself attracted the mottled gas containing vitality around him like a magnet, and then purified the vitality in the mottled gas little by little like a filter.

Half of it is cultivated to be low, half of it is the incompatible physique of the rune paper villain, this purification process is extremely difficult, it took about half a quarter of an hour just to purify a fist-sized mass of gaseous vitality, and if this bit of vitality is a magic trick, it can only pinch a flame trick for a short period of illumination, compared to his previous ability to use a magic trick like a vortex to mobilize the surrounding ten miles of vitality for his own use.

"It's really a hassle to refine the vitality of this body." About an hour after sitting down cross-legged, Mu Jingchen, who was in a mortal body, obviously felt that his legs were a little numb, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, and at this time, he had already purified the vitality to the size of two thumb-sized water droplets, half with the help of the attraction of liquid vitality to the vitality in the air, and half gradually became familiar with the process of extracting vitality again, and now Mu Jingchen's speed was obviously much faster.

The sky outside the abandoned house was dark and bright, bright and dark, six hours passed like this, and the time went from morning to night, and the vitality had been purified to about the size of an adult's fist, Mu Jingchen felt that so much quenching should be enough, so he slowly opened his eyes.

"It's done, do you want to eat something?" Bai Ning was roasting potatoes in the fire, still one big and one small as usual, and when he saw Mu Jingchen wake up, he handed over the big one.

Mu Jingchen waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to, and then pointed to the clay pot filled with water to signal that he wanted to drink some water.

Bai Ning poured some water and handed it over in the wide-mouth bowl, Mu Jingchen took it with his left hand, drank it all in one gulp, put the wide-mouth bowl on his side, and spoke.

"Bai Ning boy, the vitality of the quenching body has been condensed, but this is dangerous, you have to think about it, it's not too late to turn back."

After speaking, he shook the palm of his right hand in front of him.

Although the liquefied Yuan Qi mass could not be seen with the naked eye, Bai Ning, who had practiced the Breathing Technique, could clearly feel that there was a huge amount of energy in the palm of Mu Jingchen's right hand.

"Long-winded, let's talk about what else you need to do now." Bai Ning said lightly.

"Nothing else, sit down in front of me and close your eyes and keep the breath running, but don't open your eyes until I say it, remember, or everything will be in vain."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mu Jingchen did not stop him, but just asked him to sit in front of him and briefly instructed him where to guide the vitality after the qi was introduced into the body, and then began to induce the qi and quench the body.

Mu Jingchen looked at Bai Ning, who was sitting in front of him and facing him with his eyes closed, his left index finger pointed at Bai Ning's forehead, then took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the liquid Yuan Qi mass suspended in the palm of his right hand probe his right index finger into the liquid Yuan Qi mass, and gradually vaporize the Yuan Qi mass with the help of his Yuan Qi incompatible body, flow through his body to let it collapse and dilute, and finally introduce it to the left index finger, and inject it into Bai Ning's body from Bai Ning's forehead.

The diluted Yuan Qi mass continued to hit the meridians in Bai Ning's body, and the initial influx of Yuan Qi was extremely lethal, and the fragile meridians actually had a tendency to be damaged under their constant impact.

"It hurts, it hurts." There seemed to be a wild beast in his body, tearing at his body and gnawing on his internal organs, this is what Bai Ning felt when he was just injected into the diluted vitality mass, Rao is that he has some tolerance for pain, and he can't help but cry out in pain, and he lost his mind in pain for a while.

"It turns out that Mu Jingchen didn't lie to me, and now it's really so risky to quench your body."

"Now I feel terrible pain in my body, will I die this time? Is it too late to give up? ”

"Hehe, what stupid thing to say, if you can give up now, Mu Jingchen won't tell me before it's not too late to turn back."

"Sure enough, the long-term loneliness and betrayal of my relatives made me develop a heart that no longer trusts others, if I can live again, maybe I should try to trust some people, such as Mu Jingchen."

"Are you leaving? That's right, it's probably the best choice to leave if you're too tired. ”

“……”

"Give up, I'm too tired."

Like a marquee, when the Yuan Qi mass was injected into Bai Ning's body, in just a few seconds of losing his mind, countless thoughts flashed through Bai Ning's mind, and in just a few seconds, he felt that he had experienced a hundred years, a thousand years, and there would never be an end, and finally, he chose to give up.

"Hold back, keep the breathing technique running, keep your sanity, keep swallowing the vitality mass, and after a while, they will soften." Bai Ning, who closed his eyes, felt the pain of the beast's crazy bite in his body in the dark, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind to give up and plunge into this vast darkness to be devoured by them, at this moment Mu Jingchen's voice came from the darkness, echoing for a long time in this dark space, which was not the same as his usual speaking voice, calm, arrogant and cold, like a cold blade that cut through the darkness and brought it into the light, although Bai Ning closed his eyes and saw the darkness, but it was not so dark, Faintly, you can see the flickering fire through your eyelids.

Hearing Mu Jingchen's shout, Bai Ning let himself beat his spirit and forced himself to recite the mantra of the Tuna Technique in his heart, and his breathing began to proceed regularly according to the instructions of the Tuna Technique.

"Keep the breath running, keep your sanity."

"Keep the breath running, keep your sanity."

"Keep the breath running, keep your sanity."

……

During the period of vitality infusion, every once in a while, Bai Ning could hear a calm and cold words from Mu Jingchen's ears.

And it was these words that pulled him back from the moment when he wanted to give up again and again.

The simple fire was burning, and a cold wind came outside the simple door made of wooden frames, blowing into the room, blowing the fire swaying, and in Mu Jingchen's repeated words again and again, the night passed quickly.

First once in a few seconds, then once in ten seconds, and then once in the last tens of seconds, Bai Ning Breathing Technique continued to run, and with the absorption of vitality into the body, the damaged meridians were constantly repaired and strengthened, and the residual overflowing vitality after repairing the meridians was also repairing Bai Ning's skin damaged by the flames.

Time kept passing, Bai Ning's state was getting better and better, and Mu Jingchen's shouting was getting smaller and smaller.

I can't remember if it was after Mu Jingchen shouted more than 900 times or more than 1,000 times, Bai Ning only felt that the fingers that had been pressed on his forehead were put down, and at the same time, he heard two words in his ears, and it was done.
