Chapter 91: Casting the body into a furnace, winning, winning! [5000 words long chapter]
[Copy: The Strongest Man]
[Minimum requirement: Qi training stage 1]
[Description: A mine cave of ancient cultivators. Due to some unexpected events, the corpses of the ancient cultivators in the mine cave have undergone strange changes. Their bodies have merged with the cauldron and transformed into evil spirits. They wander around the mine cave all day long and cannot rest in peace.]
[Note 1: If you die in the instance, your main body will not be affected]
[Note 2: The copy is refreshed once every three months]
[Note 3: When the instance is open, you can select the immersive mode]
Lu Chen looked at the description of the copy and quickly guessed where the prototype of this copy came from.
Without a doubt, it is the top leader in Qingyun Sect.
"My body merged with the cauldron and turned into an evil spirit..."
Lu Chen looked at these words and quickly thought about the situation he would encounter in the Kangding Hercules copy.
If nothing unexpected happens, the enemies he encounters this time should all be physical cultivators.
However, before entering the dungeon, Lu Chen first sorted out what he had gained during this period.
Let’s not talk about experience points for now. What Lu Chen is currently focusing on is the gold-based magical power he gained after defeating the Gold-Eating Ant-Man - Forging the Body into a Soldier.
And the Gold-Eating Ant-Man, who burned his life at the last moment, comprehended a trace of boxing skills - the Mountain Collapsing Fist.
[Forged into a Soldier: Beginner 1/1000]
[Effect: Can swallow gold to temper the body, become a body of fine steel, and become a plastic soldier body (Soldier body type: unselected)]
【Mountain Collapse Fist: Beginner 1/1000】
[Effect: Its momentum is like a mountain, its fist is like a peak, and when it punches out... the mountains collapse! ]
Unlike other magical powers that have good effects in the early stages, the power of forging the body into a weapon is very special.
Because before this magical power reaches perfection, it is actually not much different from ordinary body-building techniques, and there is nothing praiseworthy about it.
But after it reaches perfection, it can allow the cultivator's body to reach a level comparable to that of magical instruments and treasures in a short period of time.
Moreover, the form of the magic weapon is chosen by the practitioner himself.
For example, if Lu Chen chooses to 'cast his body into a sword', then after using this magical power, his body will have a sharp aura comparable to that of a spiritual sword.
Casting the body into a shield, casting the body into a gun, etc. will also have similar special effects, which can be said to be extremely autonomous.
However, Lu Chen had some other ideas about what kind of weapon he was going to use to forge his body, and that was to use a furnace to forge his body.
After all, forging the body into a sword is good, but for him at the moment, it is just icing on the cake to his already rich means of attack, and it is difficult to bring about a qualitative change.
But if he could forge his body into a furnace, then he might not only be able to make up for the original lack of defense, but also further enhance his combat effectiveness under extreme conditions.
This was not Lu Chen's own imaginary result, but a reasonable inference based on the existing cultivation system.
You should know that the so-called "golden elixir" of the cultivators is actually similar to the process of alchemists refining pills.
"The heaven and earth are the furnace, nature is the craftsman, yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper..."
The body of a cultivator is like a furnace for making elixirs, and his spiritual roots are like the medicinal materials needed for making elixirs.
The Qi training stage is to cultivate medicinal materials and guide Qi into the body.
The foundation-building stage is to refine medicinal materials and condense qi into liquid.
The Jindan stage is to fuse the medicinal materials and gather the liquid into a pill.
The human body...isn't it also a small world! If he could really use his body as a furnace, the purple clouds as fire, and the blue lotus as wood.
Just make up for the shortcomings of the two magical powers of water and earth.
Then his magical power of the five elements can be considered a complete achievement.
Lu Chen had a hunch that as long as he could do this.
Then his five elements magical powers will definitely undergo some qualitative change.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder some people always say that in addition to cultivating the body, one must also cultivate the mind... Skills, body, and mind, all three are indispensable."
Magical skills are techniques, the physical body is the form, and the soul is the mind.
Lu Chen's current skills have been cultivated to a high level, and it's time to focus on his body.
As for the spirit and soul that represent the 'heart'... that is not something he can cultivate for the time being.
Because cultivating the spirit and soul is the hallmark of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.
"My first priority is to cultivate the level of the magical power of Forging the Body into a Soldier, and practice the Collapsing Mountain Fist while I'm at it."
"After all, although I major in swordsmanship, I can learn from others."
"If my guess is correct, then the Collapsing Mountain Fist skill should be able to be directly cultivated to the entry-level skill and comprehend the meaning of the fist."
"In this way, even if I can't integrate the fist into the sword technique, at least I can further enrich my fighting methods, which is a sure win."
After figuring this out, Lu Chen immediately prepared to enter the "Dungeon: The Tripod Bearer" to practice.
If I'm lucky, I'll have to wait until he comes out of the copy this time.
The skill levels of Collapsing Mountain Fist and Forging Body into Weapon should both be significantly improved.
In addition to practicing these two skills, Lu Chen also planned to complete another task in this dungeon.
That is to see if his current level of talent and supernatural power can be raised.
After all, in the joint examination copy, Lu Chen not only killed four evil creatures in the Foundation Establishment Stage with his own hands, but also obtained a full 6 soul crystal fragments (green).
I also obtained a lot of ordinary soul crystal fragments (white) in the white-faced spider's nest.
After combining these white soul crystals into green soul crystals, his innate magical powers were not far from the second realm.
[Innate magical power: Incarnation of the outsider: One realm 20/30]
[Current experience value: 4325]
“Although I know I’m dreaming, I still hope that this time… I can collect ten green soul crystal fragments.”
Dungeon: The Strongest Man...Opened! In the Dungeon of the Strongest Man, when Lu Chen opened his eyes, he saw a dark mine cave.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."
Hearing the strange sound coming from his ear, Lu Chen immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
A strange-looking 'black iron tripod man' immediately came into his sight.
This black iron cauldron man has an iconic black iron cauldron body.
There are human limbs around the body of the cauldron, connected to the rotten flesh and blood that fills the space inside the black iron cauldron.
Coupled with the strange human face growing on the belly of the Black Iron Cauldron Man, the Black Iron Cauldron Man exudes an indescribable weirdness all over his body, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The man in the black iron tripod who was not far away from Lu Chen seemed to have not noticed Lu Chen's arrival at all.
He was still concentrating on digging the black ore embedded in the mine wall.
Under Lu Chen's curious gaze, it took a lot of effort and finally dug out the black ore from the mine wall.
It held the fist-sized black ore in its hand and uttered two meaningless shouts in excitement.
Then he threw the ore directly into his black iron tripod.
When the ore fell on the flesh and blood at the mouth of the cauldron, the rotten flesh and blood that was densely packed together in the cauldron immediately began to wriggle.
He gobbled up the black ore ravenously.
After eating this black ore, some changes seemed to have occurred in the Black Iron Cauldron Man's body.
Not only did the black body of the cauldron turn a little green, but its size also became visibly larger.
Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately looked at the panel of the black iron cauldron man.
[Name: Black Iron Tripod Man]
[Cultivation: Qi training stage 3]
[Features: A special creature whose body is fused with the cauldron. It is strong and powerful and has certain physical skills.]
Did he see a small soldier at the third level of Qi training? After making sure that it could not pose a threat to him and had no special features, Lu Chen immediately walked towards it.
After approaching the man with black iron cauldron about ten steps away.
The Black Iron Cauldron Man, who had been silent for a long time, finally made some movement.
It turned around and looked in the direction of Lu Chen. The rotten flesh and blood in the black iron cauldron seemed to be stimulated and boiled instantly.
"Meat...meat...meat!!!"
The man in the black iron cauldron looked at Lu Chen, and the face on his belly immediately made an excited sound.
Then its slightly bloated body suddenly exploded and pounced directly towards Lu Chen.
From the looks of it, it seemed as if it wanted to devour Lu Chen on the spot.
Looking at the black iron tripod man who was only about 1.5 meters tall, Lu Chen didn't even take out the Ink Dragon Sword. He just stood there and assumed the starting posture of the Collapsing Mountain Fist, waiting for the opportunity.
When the man with the black iron cauldron came within three steps of Lu Chen, Lu Chen punched him hard.
Although this punch was not as powerful as the one that the Ant-Man had unleashed, it was equally powerful and created gusts of wind in the passage.
Boom! Lu Chen's fist hit the black iron cauldron man's body, and immediately a crisp sound of metal and stone vibrated.
The next second, the body of the Black Iron Cauldron Man flew backwards and hit the wall behind him, exploding into a large number of black metal fragments with a bang.
[You killed a Black Iron Cauldron Man (Qi Training Stage 3), and gained 30 experience points, Black Iron Ore*1...]
【Black Iron Ore】
【Type: Material】
[Description: A common ore that can be used to make weapons]
Lu Chen looked at the panel information after killing the Black Iron Cauldron Man, and the expression on his face did not change much.
After all, with his current strength, a Black Iron Cauldron Man at the third level of Qi training could no longer give him too many rewards.
Lu Chen took out the black iron ore that exploded from the Black Iron Cauldron Man and held it in his hand.
The next second, the hard black iron ore was crushed by him.
The metal power was quickly absorbed by his body...
[Forged into a Soldier: 11/1000]
Looking at the experience points of Forging the Body into a Soldier, Lu Chen whispered, "Sure enough, the minerals in this instance can also serve as nutrients for practicing Forging the Body into a Soldier..."
Thinking of this, the blue lotus pupil in Lu Chen's pupil immediately began to spin continuously, activating the ability of perspective, and looking towards the surrounding walls of the mine.
For a moment, Lu Chen saw all the scattered ores in the mine wall.
A moment later, he walked to a mine wall and punched it directly at the wall with his Mountain Collapsing Fist!
Bang! With this heavy punch, the solid wall shook instantly and broke into many cracks.
However, Lu Chen did not choose to continue punching, but looked at the crack on the wall with some surprise.
You have to know that his fist can kill the Black Iron Cauldron Man with one punch.
At present, I can only make some cracks on the wall.
No wonder the black iron cauldron man seemed to have been digging for a long time. Is this ore vein so hard? After being slightly surprised for a moment, Lu Chen finally punched the wall of the mine again.
Bang, bang, bang…
Lu Chen stopped only after all the black iron ore in the mine wall was knocked out.
He held the piece of black iron ore in his hand, which was a circle larger than the one that exploded from the black iron cauldron, and crushed it again.
[Forging the Body into a Soldier: Getting Started 26/1000]
Looking at the experience gained from "Forging the Body into a Soldier", Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction and looked around.
Within the twenty-meter radius of his mineral vein, there is still a lot of black iron ore that has not been dug out.
If he absorbed all of this black iron ore, he could increase his experience points for forging a soldier to around 500.
In a sense, this is equivalent to him saving 500 experience points out of thin air.
Although Lu Chen's experience points are now increasing rapidly through his daily practice.
Not to mention that it takes a huge amount of experience of '1 million' to reach the level of Dragon Transformation Sword Intent above the entry level.
Just to improve his cultivation to the perfection of Qi training stage, he would need a full '20,000 experience points'.
Not to mention that he also needs to accumulate more experience points for the future learning of "Water-based Magical Powers" and "Earth-based Magical Powers".
Therefore, it is better for him to save as much experience points as possible.
You should know that most of the skills and supernatural powers are faster to practice in the initial stage.
In the early stage, you rely on your own practice, and in the later stage, you use experience points to accumulate.
This is undoubtedly the most reasonable way to use experience points.
Money is saved, not spent!
In the following period of time, Lu Chen transformed himself into a hardworking little miner and began to dig ore in the mine.
In fact, if he chose to use swordsmanship to mine, he would be able to dig out all the black iron ore in the walls in ten minutes at most.
If some Black Iron Cauldron people occasionally appeared during this process, Lu Chen would take the time to kill them and gain some experience points at the same time.
Three days later in the game.
"Huh... has it reached its limit?"
Lu Chen looked at the "Forged Body into Soldier" that could not be upgraded any further, and stopped mining with some regret.
He understood that if he wanted to continue to improve the skill level of "Forging the Body into a Soldier", he would need to find some special ores.
[Forging into a Weapon (Furnace Type): Proficient 1/2000]
[Effect: Can swallow gold to temper the body, turning it into a body of fine steel, and becoming a plastic soldier body]
[Special Effect Furnace: Increases the pill absorption effect by 10%]
[Mountain Collapse Fist: Proficiency 146/3000]
In three days, Lu Chen not only raised the skill level of Forging a Soldier to 'Proficient'.
Moreover, when this skill was upgraded from 'entry level' to 'proficient level', he chose the 'furnace shape' as the body he wanted to cast.
The effect of this furnace did not disappoint him.
In addition to the basic enhancement of physical attributes, there is also a very special effect, which is to increase the absorption effect of his elixir.
This is undoubtedly a huge improvement for Lu Chen.
For the same pill, others can only achieve 100% effect at most, but he can achieve 110% effect at most.
This is not just about improving the effect, it's also about efficiency!
Because there is an interval between taking many pills! For example, Lu Chen could only take one Yuan-nourishing Pill a day.
And one Peiyuan Pill can provide him with a minimum of 500 experience points.
If he had not practiced 'Forging the Body into a Soldier', he could only gain a minimum of 500 experience points from Pei Yuan Dan per day.
But after having the "Forge the Body into a Soldier", Lu Chen's experience points from taking the Peiyuan Pill every day became 550 points.
50 more per day, 500 more per ten days, 5000 more per hundred days...
Rounding it off, doesn't this mean he has gained a huge amount of experience points out of thin air?
Win, win hard! Lu Chen felt that his choice to practice the "furnace type" of casting into a soldier was really wise!
According to Lu Chen's previous experience in practicing skills, the effect of a skill will often increase as the skill level increases.
And in every realm after the 'Great Accomplishment Level'.
Either the original skill effects undergo a qualitative change, or new skill effects are added.
Therefore, he waited until he had mastered the "Forging the Body into a Soldier" technique to the point of breaking the mirror.
Not only will the original elixir-enhancing effects be greatly enhanced, but there will also definitely be some other better skill effects.
Win, win twice! Although I have only heard of people using others as furnaces, I have never seen people train themselves to become furnaces.
But you have to admit that Lu Chen's current method of casting his body into a furnace is indeed the most suitable route for him.
After all, experience points are what Lu Chen lacks the most and what he needs the most.
Lu Chen would not let go of any skill that could improve the efficiency of gaining experience points! Because the black iron ore had lost its effect on him now, Lu Chen quickly left the mine where he had stayed for three whole days.
As he walked out of the mine tunnel, a larger mine cave immediately appeared before his eyes.
Not only is the space here larger, but the Ding people active here are no longer just the Black Iron Ding people, but there is a new type.
【Bronze Ding Figure】
[Cultivation: Qi training stage six]
[Features: A special creature whose body is fused with a cauldron. It is strong and powerful, and has certain physical skills and simple magic.]
Unlike the Black Iron Tripod men who only know how to perform physical skills, the newly appeared Bronze Iron Men can already perform some simple spells.
With the help of Qinglian Pupil, Lu Chen quickly guessed why they knew simple spells.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason why they can perform simple spells is because of the complex patterns on the body of the bronze tripod.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly became curious about the people who made these bronze tripods.
Because according to the description of the copy, the birth of these cauldron people should be the result of the fusion of the body and the cauldron after the death of the monk from Kangding Peak.
But the problem is, Lu Chen knew a long time ago that Kang Ding Feng used the tripod to practice physical skills.
But what he couldn't understand was why Kangdingfeng placed so many tripods in one mine.
It can't be that the monks on Kangding Peak need to carry the tripod on their backs when mining, right?
This reason is not only far-fetched, but also not very logical.
Which miner would carry a big tripod on his back while mining in a mine? Isn't that totally crazy?
So after thinking about it, Lu Chen felt that perhaps it was because the cauldron in Kangding Peak had some special effects that it was not aware of.
So much so that even in the mine, Kangding Peak had to place some tripods here to suppress or solve certain special problems.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly felt that he knew too little about Qingyun Sect.
Because in the game he has been staying in Danyang Peak to concentrate on making elixirs.
So even though he had been an inner disciple for some time, he had never been to other peaks, so he was not very clear about the situation in other peaks.
Danyang Peak has a special "Yangming Earth Fire", which is used to help the monks in the peak to refine elixirs.
The Sword Pavilion of Cangjian Peak is also a special place.
Then what are the remaining Qingyun Peak, Wanfu Peak and Kangding Peak?
At this moment, Lu Chen was full of curiosity about the secret of Kangding Peak.
Perhaps in this copy, he can get a rough idea of the answer.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately walked towards the Ding people in the distance.
His appearance instantly attracted the attention of many miners in the mine, causing them to stop mining and surround him.
Looking at the large number of Ding people slowly walking towards him, Lu Chen took out two white bandages from somewhere, and began to wrap them around his hands while walking towards the Ding people.
He muttered to himself, "I have never tried to integrate the Zhen character of the Hualong Sword Technique into the Collapse Mountain Fist before. Now is a good time to give it a try."
"I hope you can hold on a little longer, at least... don't spoil my fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen took a step forward and rushed towards the dozens of Ding people in front of him.
It seems like you are all surrounded by me! PS: A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, three hours, a miracle! Before three o'clock, the next Fat Tiger will definitely deliver it!
