Chapter 331: True Dharma Unparalleled in the World, Refining the Human Body
Jiang Mo saw the old man's resolute expression, and he couldn't help but admire him:
"Okay, Senior, since you have the guts, I will not let you return empty-handed."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
The old man bowed and said, the frown on his brows suddenly relaxed and an expectant smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"There is one more thing I need to tell you. After I transform you, you will be a human being. You cannot transform back without permission. Not only can you not do it, but your life will be in danger. "
"When your enlightenment is complete, I will transform you back into a beast. As for how to cultivate a 'flawless human body', it all depends on your own luck."
"I understand. I will keep what you said in mind."
The Mountain Scorpion Immortal breathed a sigh of relief. This old friend's birthday party really gave it an opportunity, and it felt a little fortunate in its heart.
Afterwards, the other eight immortals discussed with Jiang Mo the order of transformation, and chose the location as a unique retreat place in Linghu Cave Heaven, which was a deep mountain stream, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with trees blocking out the sun, and the void was full of rocks. The sunlight that fell every day was just right and subtle, and the climate was cool.
The Mountain Scorpion Immortal, whose life span was the rarest, volunteered to become the first spirit to transform. Even if it hadn't met Jiang Mo, it would have been impossible for it to become a 'Spiritual Immortal' in the remaining seven or eight years, so it didn't care about any risks.
The other immortals were familiar with the old mountain scorpion and had a decent relationship with him. They were also very concerned about their lives and were somewhat uneasy about the practice method of being refined by humans and then transformed into humans. So they tacitly let the mountain scorpion try it first so that they could wait and see. If the effect was good, it would not be too late to transform again.
On the fourth day of the birthday banquet, all the guests who had visited Qunshan went back one after another.
Hu Tianbiao asked his relatives in the tribe to take care of trivial matters, while he and the seven immortals stayed outside the mountain stream to protect Jiang Mo and the mountain scorpion.
During this period, an old man who was transformed from a poisonous spider chatted with Lu Jin for a while and had the idea of exchanging ideas.
It ranks among the top among the nine immortals, and wants to meet this disciple from the first mysterious sect.
Lu Jin did not refuse. He had a brief sparring match with the Snake Fairy from Changbai Mountain last time, but it was not satisfying enough. This was a rare opportunity to meet a worthy opponent, and he did not want to miss it. So he started a battle with the Poison Spider Fairy in another place in the cave.
There were several immortals watching on the scene. The two fought so hard that the rocks collapsed and all the trees were destroyed wherever they passed.
From hand-to-hand combat with fists and feet to revealing their true forms and performing magic, the Poison Spider Immortal family could not hold out for less than half an hour before they were suppressed and defeated by Lu Jin, who was at full power.
Afterwards, Lu Jin learned from those immortals that his strength was roughly between the 'transformation' and 'spiritual immortal' levels in the elf cultivation realm, and was even close to the spiritual immortal level, with one foot halfway into it.
In the Trinity Sect, most of the disciples were born as orphans. Even Zhuge Yu had very few relatives. But Lu Jin was different. He was the eldest son of the Lu family and had a clan and family behind him. He was bound by many worldly things, so his practice naturally slowed down.
Seventy years have passed, and now, Uncle Chong, Senior Brother Zhuge and Senior Brother Chengzhen are all above him in the sect, while Shuiyun and Changqing are at a similar level to him, each with their own strengths.
According to Lu Jin's assumptions and the oral statements of those immortals, he estimated that Senior Brother Zhuge and Uncle Si Chong should be similar to the first-level spiritual immortals, or even stronger. As for Senior Brother Cheng Zhen who is at the second level of Xuanming, is the corresponding elf at the second level of spiritual immortal?
If he continued to calculate in this way, he would know that Jiang Mo might correspond to the sixth level of spiritual immortal. Lu Jin was both surprised and proud, without any doubt. In his eyes, those legendary sixth level spiritual immortals were not necessarily as powerful as his uncle.
In the mountain stream, red barriers and silver-white enchantments surrounded and sealed off an area of one hundred meters in radius. The process of transformation was about to begin.
In the past few hours, Jiang Mo asked the Mountain Scorpion Immortal to meditate quietly, eliminate distracting thoughts, concentrate, adjust his mentality to the best state, and then reveal his true form.
It was a scorpion several feet tall and more than ten feet long. It was jet black all over, with eyes like millstones, eight legs, and huge claws that were strong and powerful with sharp teeth. The spike at the end of its tail was highly poisonous.
Even on the verge of death, the shell on the immortal's body, although dull and lusterless, is still extremely hard, and the flesh and blood inside is like crystal scarlet jade, emitting a rich blood energy.
Jiang Mo stood close to the giant scorpion, looking up at this monster that blocked out the sky and the sun, feeling quite emotional. There are indeed many strange things in this world.
"Fellow Daoist, a good opportunity has arrived. Please lend me a helping hand."
The immortal spoke in human language and made all preparations before the transformation ceremony.
"Okay, relax your mind and don't be on guard. Next, I will guide you through the transformation process. Your consciousness will fall asleep for a short while."
Jiang Mo slowly raised his right hand, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly used his true power. Infinite light burst out in an instant, covering the entire body of the giant scorpion.
"."
The immortals closed their eyes and guarded their minds.
It could feel that a special invisible substance was seeping into its body surface. Wherever it went, its shell, bones, flesh and blood gradually began to disintegrate like mud meeting water.
It was not difficult for Jiang Mo to refine an elf that was close to perfect transformation. As long as he put all his strength into it, it would not take more than a few breaths for the giant scorpion to be completely melted.
However, that was a crude method used against the enemy. Now Jiang Mo slowed down the refining process. He devoted himself to sensing and recording the direction of the meridians in the immortal's body, as well as the composition of blood, flesh, and organs, just to reduce the risk to a minimum, or even to zero. Studying the spirit's body was of great benefit to him. Jiang Mo's body was a human body, which contained unimaginable power. If it was presented in another form, it would definitely be extraordinary.
However, the time was too short, and he was unable to help the mountain scorpion transform into a human form and then transform himself into a new creature based on the characteristics of the scorpion's composition.
Jiang Mo was thinking that after he transformed for the nine immortals one by one, he would collect all the physical characteristics of the elves, and then take this opportunity to go into seclusion. Perhaps the harvest would be unprecedentedly rich.
"Boom!!!"
Thousands of rays of light swayed slightly, as light as a feather. The immortal's body disappeared bit by bit, turning into a pure energy body. That was the elves' unique Qi, which contained dense soul lights and covered the immortal's consciousness and memory.
Jiang Mo controlled the true method, refining its true body with one hand and controlling the transformation of Qi into innate Qi with the other hand. He then sorted out the many Qi flows and soul lights, interweaving and integrating them to condense a human form, evolving the internal organs and limbs from the inside out.
Jiang Mo was highly focused, and he checked and confirmed over and over again almost every inch of the flesh and blood. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed, and only half of the mountain scorpion's true body was left, and the condensed human body also took shape.
During this period, the immortal is in a state of "life and death coexisting", its consciousness is sleeping in the chaos of nothingness, and it is completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world.
On the second day, Jiang Mo's progress accelerated, and he completed the task in one go, completely restoring the immortal to the state of innate Qi, adding to the new human form and repairing any deficiencies.
On the third day, all the Qi and soul light were completely integrated into the human body. The old body suspended in the air was about 1.6 meters tall and very thin, almost skin and bones. It weighed only a few dozen kilograms, and its skin was soft and fluffy, like withered bark.
This is the true state of immortals after they transform into human form. Just like those old people in their old age, the fire of life is like a candle in the wind and can be extinguished at any time.
On the fourth day, a pair of turbid eyes slowly opened, and the immortal looked tired, as if it had been sleeping for a long time. The strange feeling in its limbs made a slight smile appear on the corners of its mouth.
The active heart and the flowing blood vessels in the body, as well as the muscles relaxing in the rhythm of breathing, all these signs are strange and vivid. It clearly
Transformation, it's done!
"Is there anything you are not adapting to?" A familiar voice came to my ears. It was Jiang Mo asking.
The old man slowly stood up, clenched his five fingers, stretched his muscles, and said excitedly: "No."
"My memories are still there. I am still myself. My power has not diminished. Everything just exists in a different form."
"Fellow Daoist, you have great magical powers. I admire you so much!!"
The immortal laughed happily, extremely excited, immersed in the joy of having a human body, with wet tears at the corners of his eyes.
In the past, it took many detours, made mistakes in its transformation, and wasted more than a hundred years of time on the road of cultivation. It finally walked into a dead end, which became deeper and deeper and narrower and narrower. It was so uncomfortable that it could hardly breathe, and no one even reminded it what to do or how to turn back.
At this moment, Jiang Mo directly gave it a reference answer, which made it suddenly realize and understand all the mistakes it had made in the past.
"Since you are fine, I am relieved. This is the first time I have refined your spirit. Although I have been extremely cautious, I still want to ask about your feelings to avoid any omissions."
Jiang Mo said in a gentle voice that he helped the immortal to transform, and the immortal's body gave him feedback on the direction of his practice, and both of them gained something.
"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist"
"From now on, I owe you a huge favor, and I will never forget it in the future."
After saying that, the old man knelt down tremblingly to express his gratitude. No one knew how excited he was at the moment. In just a few days, he saw the hope of being promoted to a spiritual immortal.
Before it has achieved human form, its cultivation is hopeless and will end in despair. Even if it fights to pieces, it will never be able to become a spiritual immortal. If it forces its way through, it will eventually turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost.
Now, it conservatively estimates that if it returns to its true form and transforms, it has at least a 30% chance of achieving a 'flawless human body'. Moreover, as time goes by, its understanding of the physical body will increase day by day, and its confidence will only increase.
"Get up."
"It's not a question of gratitude or ingratitude. I also have my own selfish motives."
Jiang Mo helped the old man up. His facial features were no different from those of ordinary humans. He was no longer the deformed man with fangs and sharp mouth as before.
"No matter what, you did help me. This cannot be changed. Fellow Daoist, please stop talking."
"Come on, let's go out and take a look at those impatient old guys, hahahaha!!"
The old mountain scorpion laughed heartily. Compared with the previous years, its current state was undoubtedly the closest to the "spiritual immortal" believed by the world.
