Chapter 20 The Taoist Priest's Cruel Life

There are only two paths to become stronger quickly: the source point and the crimson point.

The former improves four-dimensional data, and the latter improves the realm of martial arts by deduction. Unfortunately, these two paths are not so easy to take.

Taking crimson points for example, you can get them by killing evil spirits, but this is also a life-threatening business. If you rush into it without doing a good risk assessment, you may not only fail to earn crimson points, but also lose yourself.

And those antiques containing deep red dots are not so easy to obtain.

Up to now, he has obtained three special items containing crimson value, namely the jade ring passed down in Yinlong Temple for thousands of years, the "Corpse Sutra" obtained from Shi Shoufu, and the jade plaque from the old Taoist priest.

These three items have one thing in common, that is, they have all been used by practitioners for a long time and have been carved by time.

This commonality alone was enough to put an end to Yi Chen's idea of ​​searching the world for ancient artifacts and deep red dots. What's more, he was extremely poor, so there was no point in collecting anything.

You can't just dig up the tombs of the ancestors of Yinlong Temple to see if they can find anything.

Hiss! This is really a decision that goes against the ancestors.

After thinking about it for a while, Yi Chen still didn't dare to be such a filial son. He was afraid that his master Bai Yunzi would come out of the urn and strangle him to death.

"Alas, it's a pity that I promised my master that I would not commit crimes and would always be kind and righteous. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to become a millionaire, a hundred ways!" Yi Chen sighed with regret.

If he was extremely rich, he could have collected antiques in the hope of finding a bargain, but unfortunately he only had 310 taels of silver.

The remaining ten taels of silver was the incense money he reserved for his ancestors.

After all, if it weren't for him, Captain Zhang wouldn't have donated twenty taels to the Taoist temple, so Yi Chen felt that it was reasonable to split the twenty taels with the founder in a fifty-fifty manner.

"Three hundred and ten taels of silver may seem like a lot, but there may not be much you can do with it. My junior brother Qing Yunzi is now in the critical stage of transforming his pure Yang internal energy into pure Yang true power, and he needs to be nourished. I am also a glutton, and I have to spend money on everything..."

After some consideration, there is only one way left.

Stimulate the body through exercise to gain source points and achieve transcendence with supernatural powers.

"Well, I'll just have to endure a little hardship. I have to be crazy to survive." Yi Chen gritted his teeth and decided to give himself a big life starting tomorrow.

…

…

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Not far from the Yinlong Temple, there is a place called Zhuilongtan. The water in the pond is so deep that you can’t see the bottom.

The mountain spring water poured down from a height of more than 20 meters, splashing water more than one person high.

At this time, a tall, shirtless man holding a large millstone was standing upstream of the spring, breathing deeply.

Looking at the whistling water rushing down and hitting the deep pool, Yi Chen, standing on a high place, felt a chill in his heart.

But he had no choice. The red mark on his chest was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, reminding him all the time that if he didn't get stronger quickly, he would die.

"Damn it, if you're not ruthless, you can't stand still. Let's fight."

Yi Chen gritted his teeth, hugged the millstone and jumped towards the Falling Dragon Pond.

People are forced to do things.

This statement is true whether you argue from a physiological or philosophical point of view.

If it were before, he would not have subjected himself to such a strenuous task. Prisoner fitness and triathlon were already the limit of his efforts, but now it was no longer possible.

He needs strength, he has an immense desire to become stronger.

After experiencing two Pure Yang Gong enhancements, he was able to support this attempt without killing himself.

Boom! Yi Chen jumped down and hit the deep pool surface heavily, causing several meters high waves.

Then, he sank straight to the bottom of the pool holding the millstone.

The huge water pressure constantly challenged his physical limits. When he jumped, the parts of his body that touched the water surface were hit by waves of severe pain, and his lungs were also burning with pain.

The light purple pure yang energy in his body was running at an extremely fast speed, inflating his muscles to resist the pressure coming from all around.

He held the millstone and slowly squatted up and down at the bottom of the pond... time passed slowly.

Yi Chen spent every second like an age at the bottom of the pool.

One second.

Ten seconds.

One point.

Three points.

Five points.

Even though he had an amazing physique, under this inhuman torture, after five minutes, Yi Chen could no longer hold on. He kicked his feet and rushed out of the water holding the millstone.

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

As soon as he came out of the water, Yi Chen collapsed on the edge of the pool like a dead snake, gasping for breath.

The lungs expand and contract rapidly as if they were pumping a bellows.

He felt like every part of his body was sore and painful, but fortunately he was in amazing physical condition and had a strong recovery ability, so he could hold on.

After resting for ten minutes, Yi Chen returned to his original place holding the millstone.

"Hell, am I going to blanch you?"

“Ah…!” The very cultured Master Yi closed his eyes and jumped down again.

The depth charges continued.

If you don't push yourself, you won't know where your limits are.

As long as you don’t die, play to death.

Yi Chen was stimulating his body like crazy in this way. At the same time, he blamed every bit of suffering he had endured on Yinfu's head. He jumped into the water like a madman and cursed at the same time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Every time Yi Chen felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, he would dodge half of the tiger's body and butt, and endless motivation would surge in his heart.

…..Yinlong Temple, kitchen.

Qing Yunzi cooked a roast chicken, ten pounds of braised pork, and two small plates of vegetables. Then he called Qingfeng and Mingyue and told them to go find the eldest brother and bring him back for dinner.

Not long after, the two little ones came back crying.

"Second Brother, something terrible has happened. The eldest brother has gone crazy."

When Qing Yunzi heard what the two little ones said, he couldn't help but get angry.

"You are talking nonsense. The eldest brother was fine when he went out. How could he go crazy?"

"Didn't Senior Brother say that he was going to practice at the edge of the Falling Dragon Pond?"

Qingfeng wiped away tears and spoke incoherently, "Second Brother, Big...Big Brother is really crazy. He jumped down from a height of more than 20 meters holding a millstone. Soon bubbles appeared on the water surface. I waited for a long time but didn't see Big Brother come up."

Mingyue nodded hurriedly and added: "Yes, I can prove that what Junior Brother Qingfeng said is true. I saw it clearly from a distance."

Qingyunzi was confused... Led by Qingfeng Mingyue, the trio rushed non-stop towards the direction of Zhuilongtan.

Yi Chen lay limp on the rocks around the Falling Dragon Pond. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw three figures rushing towards him.

He struggled to sit up and said to the three people: "Junior brother, what happened?"

"Why are you all so anxious?"

Qing Yunzi looked at Yi Chen with a strange expression and said, "Big Brother, are you okay?"

"Qingfeng and Mingyue came to ask you to come back for dinner, but you came back crying and said you were crazy. You scared us to death."

???

Yi Chen felt a little confused. Why did I go crazy?

"Bullshit, I was just practicing." He gathered his remaining strength and stood up with a somersault.

"Look, I'm not crazy. I'm going to show you one more time."

Qingyunzi, Qingfeng and Mingyue, one big and two small, opened their mouths in astonishment as they watched Yi Chen holding the millstone and jumping down from a great height, splashing water into the sky. After a while, a head floated out of the water.

"Do you understand? I am practicing, practicing!"

The three men wiped the sweat from their foreheads and stared in amazement.

…

At night, the sky is full of stars.

In the room where Qingfeng Mingyue lived, Qingfeng opened a blank booklet and was writing in his diary.

October 5, the eighth year of the Qingli period.

The eldest brother must be crazy. Today he jumped into the Dragon Pond holding a millstone for a whole day and insisted that he was practicing. It was a completely new version that we have never seen before.

While he was eating dinner, his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily. He even broke a bowl. It was scary to see.

I think the senior brother is lying. I have never seen anyone practice like this.

The eldest senior brother always lies to me. Last time he tricked me into bringing candied haws.

In the evening, I saw that some of the fat fish in the Zhuilongtan had turned white. We had a fish feast tonight, and I kind of understood.

Could it be that the eldest brother is playing with frying fish? Catching a fish and playing with it in such a fancy way is indeed a brand new version we have never seen before. The eldest brother, you are worthy of it.

Also, tonight's fish feast was delicious.
