Destiny is ashes

Chapter 123 Spirit Armor Spirit Coffin
An Jing found a floor where there were no traces of homeless people, then curled up behind a beam and began to quietly recover his luck.

After escaping from the black market and finding a place to stay, my tense nerves and body relaxed.

It was not until this time that An Jing felt unbearable pain all over his body.

Feeling his body covered in wounds, he couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "This injury is not light."

Not to mention the numbness and itching in the meridians, the exposed skin has burns, scrapes and cuts of varying sizes, and now it hurts so much.

Although his ribs were not broken due to the straw raincoat, jade pendant and triple spiritual defense when he was kicked in the chest by Fengdu Wei, he could clearly feel bursts of dull pain whenever he took a deep breath. It was obvious that he had internal injuries, and his breath smelled strongly of blood.

The reason why he was able to escape from the sewer smoothly was entirely due to the adrenaline. Now that the adrenaline had subsided, An Jing felt like he was half dead and couldn't even breathe.

"This won't work, An Jing."

The sword spirit also saw that An Jing was in a very bad condition, and said bluntly: "We have about a day to return to Huaixu Realm. Facing the evil demon, you must stay in peak condition."

After thinking for a while, He said decisively: "Take out the heart of the Evergreen Tree and use the energy in it to heal your injuries."

"It's okay to waste a little, but keeping yourself in good condition is the most important thing."

Evergreen wood is a common first- and second-level spiritual plant that prefers a warm and humid environment. Its material is thick and soft, and only the heart of the tree is slightly hard. It cannot be used as a weapon, nor as the main material for magical instruments, but it is still the most common spiritual material that is most often planted on a large scale by large sects.

There is no other reason, just good at using your ears.

Its bark and leaves can be used to make talisman paper, its fruit is as sweet as magical rice, its sap can be used to make healing pills, and can also be used as a potion to quickly replenish physical strength and energy, and the tree heart is one of the main ingredients for many 'healing' talismans and pills.

Even some special tree roots and branches of appropriate size can be used as 'artificial tendons' and 'acquired hypochondrium' to help ordinary people with physical disabilities or monks continue their path.

Although the efficiency is not high and it can only support Aoki's department, it is better to have it than nothing.

Although the evergreen wood has nothing to do with struggle, no one would dislike this spiritual plant that is full of treasures.

Tianyuan Realm, Xuanye City, the abandoned city area on the edge.

On the seventh floor of the unfinished building, on one side of a load-bearing column, An Jing sat cross-legged with his palms pressed together in front of his dantian qi sea.

And located between the two palms is an evergreen tree heart that is dark green, almost black.

An Jing continuously drew out green energy from the heart of the Evergreen Tree and it gradually sank into his body. An Jing circulated it around his body, feeling the evergreen energy flowing through the meridians in his body.

It flows through the limbs, across the chest and abdomen, from the spine to the dantian, and from the chest cavity to the upper dantian.

He could feel that a pure, gentle life force with a hint of comfort and warmth was healing his injured tendons, veins, and flesh.

It suppresses pain, repairs nerves, speeds up the absorption of nutrients from the 'Bigu Pill' by the healthy digestive system, and accelerates the regeneration of the body.

An Jing could clearly feel that his lungs were beginning to feel numb and itchy, and an urge to cough was always lingering.

After he was almost repaired, he coughed violently, and used his magical power to cast the "Sword of Disease", coughing up a mouthful of black blood with wisps of golden air. The blood quickly evaporated in the air, bringing with it the smell of burnt steel and embers of a raging fire.

The breath was sharp and hot, and it hit the ground, creating small holes.

This was not just an injury caused by Fengdu Wei. Lungs belong to the element of metal. An Jing had only been a cultivator for a short time, but he repeatedly used all his strength to mobilize Taibai's evil spirit to attack and protect his body, which naturally led to damage to his lungs. If there was a hidden injury and it was not treated in time, it would inevitably leave hidden dangers in the future.

Fortunately, it was done in time. After coughing, An Jing felt relieved, his chest and lungs were extremely refreshed, and it was much smoother to mobilize his spiritual energy: "Fortunately, I have comprehended the sword of disease, otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to heal these injuries."

"The magical power is truly extraordinary. No wonder I was able to master the magical power as soon as I awakened my destiny, which made the Heaven's Will Demon Cult so excited."

An hour after absorbing the vital energy from the heart of the Evergreen Tree, An Jing felt that all the wounds, scrapes and burns on his body were healed.

The scab fell off without a trace, and the spiritual energy that was originally almost exhausted gradually began to circulate after being converted into abundant essence.

Slowly opening his eyes, An Jing exhaled again. This time the breath was like a white arrow, extending two feet without any strange color.

He was quite delighted: "It's only been two hours and I have recovered from all my injuries."

"Although my spiritual energy has not yet recovered, I feel that my condition is better than ever. If I continue to circulate the Jade Steel for a period of time, I will be able to recover all my spiritual energy!"

"Of course."

The sword spirit signaled An Jing to put away the Evergreen Tree Heart, which had shrunk by a quarter, and said with emotion: "Your injury is not serious. It has not penetrated deep into your bone marrow and internal organs. You will recover quickly."

"The heart of the Evergreen Tree can even keep a dead person alive for a while. This kind of spiritual material for building your foundation will consume a small amount of your vitality, and it will certainly allow you to return to your prime."

Speaking of this, the sword spirit was still a little confused: "The body of the Huaixu human race seems to be a little different from mine at that time... An Jing, you have a destiny in your body, and you are more resistant to evil spirits, but even if you remove the influence of the Seven Evil Fates, you are still very resistant to evil spirits."

"The human races of Tianyuan and Huaixu should have the same origin, but now there are significant differences. Healing your body will consume 30% more vitality than I thought."

Hearing this, An Jing also became interested: "Is it that the bodies of the Huaixu people are stronger? Is it the result of many years of martial arts training, or is it because of this result that they choose to practice martial arts?"

"They complement each other." The sword spirit thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "The situation in Huaixu is different from all the worlds eroded by demonic energy that I have seen in the past. The people in Huaixu must also be special."

"More spiritual energy is needed for healing. It doesn't just mean that the body is better, because the body needs material nutrients. It means that the souls of the Huaixu people may be different."

At this point, the sword spirit did not delve into it: "Fortunately, it didn't consume too much. There is still most of the tree core left, which is enough."

"Oh, Fuxie." Speaking of the tree heart, An Jing's heart moved slightly.

He asked curiously, "When we were fighting Fengduwei, I remember you mentioned something like 'transformation of Qingmu and Youming'... Then why can Fengduwei control two different spiritual energies, Qingmu and Youming? Didn't you say that cultivators can only choose one spiritual energy as their fundamental practice?"

"Even with the help of spiritual armor, there is no way to control two kinds of spiritual energy so freely, right?"

"Indeed." The sword spirit nodded slightly and answered An Jing's doubts: "People can only choose one kind of spiritual energy as the basic practice. If the nature is similar, it may be able to have a slight influence, but if the nature is opposite, it is impossible for them to coexist."

"But Fengdu Wei is different - his fundamental practice is the Qingmu Changsheng Kurongshu, which transforms himself into a half-living and half-dead state, and then 'buries' himself in Fengdu Armor."

"The armor is actually a kind of 'spiritual coffin', which slowly transforms the cultivator inside into a ghost cultivator. The strong vitality of Fengduwei is transformed into the ghost energy of the same origin, and he can also use his half-dead state to manipulate the green wood energy and the ghost energy at the same time."

"Because they all originate from him, rather than from the external energy, the internal energy circulation of the Fengdu guards in the Fengdu armor has achieved a 'small Tai Chi', which in turn has promoted the Fengdu guards' practice of the art of longevity and prosperity - burning life to conceive the netherworld, embracing the netherworld to contain prosperity and decline, that's exactly it."
