Wet viviparity

Chapter 448: Yuantai, Yuanshencheng
The Divine Scorpion Pearl was put into Ji Ming's hand. The pearl had a warm and soft touch, not hard at all, like a soft-shelled egg, which was very inconsistent with its crystal clear jade texture.

With a thought, the "Eye of Transformation from Wet Egg" flew into his palm. With the Divine Scorpion Pearl in one hand and the Treasure Eye in the other, Ji Ming felt like he had grasped the pulse of the future. This feeling was truly too wonderful.

"It's time to cultivate the second soul."

Ji Ming wasted no time and started his next move.

In the side sects of the orthodox path, or in the heterodox Buddhist sect, the secret texts of cultivating the second spirit are often closely related to the core inheritance of the two paths.

These secret books are either hidden in ancient caves or passed down as secret teachings, and some are even stored in the treasure house in heaven. The cultivation methods are full of taboos and mysteries. As a Taoist general, Ji Ming has unique resources and had asked Xinghua Zhenren to copy some supplementary books on the second soul cultivation method in the upper mansion.

The best thing on the mountain is naturally the "Art of Splitting Light and Deification" in the third chapter of "The Great Secret Scripture". This secret book was created by the eldest daughter of God, Xuanmiao Shenmu. Only celestial beings can practice it, so the threshold is extremely high.

It is a great opportunity to hear about such immortal scriptures. If one wants to get a glimpse of it, one must at least be the leader of the three peaks and one prefecture.

Of course, there are also those with low thresholds, and the most representative of them are the unorthodox methods.

In the two northern states there is a large side sect called "Shi Men". In this sect there is a "Golden Yin Demon Scenery Strange Book", which contains a miraculous method of refining a kind of corpse-path magic pill to split out a second soul and remain immortal.

Ji Ming was fortunate enough to read the fragments collected by the sect, but he gave up after reading just a little bit. He thought there were many hidden dangers and great harm. Even though he heard that a certain ancestor of the sect had improved this method, he had no intention of reading any further.

His focus was on another book, "San San Pan Wang Jing", which was created by the Panxian worshipped in Panku Mountain. Fu Beigong also learned how to cultivate his second soul from this book.

At first, Ji Ming was surprised that there was a complete copy of this sutra in the mountain, but then he thought that the Panku Mountain had been infiltrated like a sieve, and even the fundamental method, the Chengpan Yuhua Sutra, had been obtained, so it didn't seem surprising to find this sutra.

According to this sutra, in order to refine the second spirit, one must first borrow the inner elixir cultivated by any one of the five immortal (five poisonous) insect species to refine an ancient "Panwang Yuantai", and then use barbaric methods to seal one's soul into the Yuantai, so that the Yuantai's spirit will be infected by the soul.

When the primordial fetus is conceived, the soul and the spirit of the primordial fetus are like siblings from the same egg, inseparable.

Such a primordial spirit naturally became the second primordial spirit. In the Panku Mountain, this kind of primordial spirit was called Panwang primordial spirit.

According to the San San Pan Wang Sutra, if Pan Wang's soul is successfully refined, he will be a true spirit among poisons when he is born. His foundation is not weaker than that of dragons and phoenixes. He can control all insects in the world and cannot resist any poison, nor can he be harmed by any poison.

Obviously, in the process of refining the second soul, Fu Beigong did not refine the so-called Panwang Yuantai, but chose a relatively simple method to refine the Divine Scorpion Pearl into the Spirit Scorpion Yuantai, thereby refining the second soul.

Ji Ming did not have such big ambitions. It was already difficult for him to obtain a Divine Scorpion Pearl. It would take him a long time to use the Divine Scorpion Pearl to refine the Pan Wang Yuantai.

Ji Ming's palm holding the Divine Scorpion Pearl tightened slightly. He now understood why the Divine Scorpion Pearl felt so soft and warm. It turned out that after Fu Beigong's second soul was killed, the Divine Scorpion Pearl returned to the state of being refined into a primordial embryo.

This is good, as it saves Ji Ming the trouble and also saves him a lot of materials for refining the Yuantai.

From a pile of materials, Ji Ming took out three leather bags. One bag contained the blood of hundreds of beasts in the ridge, one bag contained the poisonous blood of hundreds of insects, and another bag contained the blood of hundreds of barbarians. When the bags were opened, a fishy smell filled the nose.

Holding back the discomfort, Ji Ming opened his mouth and performed the Golden Evil Bag Technique, swallowing the three bags of essence and blood into his mouth. The three bags went down his stomach and were repeatedly boiled by the spiritual fire. During this time, he also swallowed some spiritual medicines, gold and stone minerals, etc.

Finally, after it was boiled into a thick, colorful plasma, it was spit out.

Next, Ji Ming took out a bone spur. This bone spur was not a magic weapon of the cultivators, but a ritual item used by the witches in the barbarian village of Liming Ridge. It was closely related to barbarian magic. If placed in the barbarian magic system, it could also be considered a magic weapon.

He took a deep breath and prepared himself, because the scriptures said that the pain of this brutal method was no less than the pain of broken bones, cramps, and stones rolling in the gallbladder.

He used his spiritual power to hold the bone spur, tapped the blood plasma, and pierced it into his back, little by little. Every time the needle pierced, it didn't seem to be piercing the skin, but rather piercing the bone marrow. His body instinctively spasmed.

After just a few needles, Ji Ming was already sweating all over, and his internal organs were throbbing with pain. He had never thought the pain would reach this level. The needle seemed to stir in his bones, and half of his body was numb. It took him half an hour to recover.

From the blood-pointing and tattooing on his back to finally tattooing a pattern, Ji Ming spent four or five days and most of his life. The hot sweat on his body kept drying and getting wet again. If he had not already practiced fasting, he would have been in an even more miserable state.

This picture is in the shape of a five-colored round disc, with several insect limbs dangling on the edge, like jellyfish tentacles. There is a head protruding in front of the round disc shell, like a dog and a unicorn. This picture is the true form of Panxian, one of the keys to refining the second Yuanshen in the San San Pan Wang Sutra.

When the tattoo was completed, it was already twisting on Ji Ming's skin on his back.

Ji Ming sat down on the altar with difficulty. The pills that his master had given him were working wonders, making his energy, spirit and vitality remain strong. While he still had strength to spare, Ji Ming's soul escaped from his flesh and pounced on his back.

The soul and spirit merged into the diagram of Panxian's true form, flew out of the skin on its back, and drilled into the primordial fetus.

Gradually, the texture of the embryo hardened, the warmth on it faded away, and the true form of Panxian, which contained Ji Ming's soul, floated inside the crystal clear interior. Next to it was a scorpion-shaped soul that was being nurtured. It looked like purple jade and was exactly the same as Fu Bei Lao's second soul.

As time passed, Ji Ming only felt a sense of heaviness, a heaviness in his soul. This heaviness became heavier as the Purple Scorpion's soul became healthier.

For him, who is currently in the third stage of foundation building, refining a second soul is far beyond his ability. If he were to practice the method of self-destruction of the soul, the current situation would be even worse.

“It’s an affordable price!”

Ji Ming, whose soul was in the primordial fetus, had a thought in his mind, but the next second he could not bear the burden and his soul fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, he gradually woke up and realized that his second soul had been conceived. When he flew out of the Divine Scorpion Pearl, his soul was so weak that the breeze in the cave almost blew him away.

Only then did he realize that what he was using was the second soul he had just refined.

In the Divine Scorpion Pearl, the true form of Panxian, which was a combination of soul and spirit, had dissipated due to the dissipation effect, and only his soul and spirit remained in it.

This weak second soul couldn't exert any strength at all, and even returning to the bead became a problem. It had to rely on the induction between it and the Divine Scorpion Bead to summon the Divine Scorpion Bead and then put the second soul away.

He tried to make his soul and second spirit move at the same time, but as soon as the thought came to his mind, he felt like he was being torn apart.

"It's too forced."

Ji Ming sighed in his heart.

The problem of not being able to act at the same time is not a big problem. It had been foreseen in advance. After he is promoted to the Golden Core stage, it will naturally be greatly alleviated.

Ji Ming's consciousness revived in his soul. He looked at his second soul in the shape of a purple scorpion, played with it for a while before escaping from the bead and returning smoothly to his flesh.

Raising his palm, holding the Divine Scorpion Pearl between his two fingers, Ji Ming let out a breath of air at this moment, and his whole body relaxed and fell limply on the altar. He held the Divine Scorpion Pearl in front of his eyes, and then shook it violently, and the Purple Scorpion's soul instinctively curled up.

"Ha ha!"

Ji Ming's joyful laughter rang out in the cave, a pure laughter, a laughter full of confidence.

"The sky is high and the birds can fly freely, the sea is wide and the fish can jump freely. From now on, I, the golden boy, will walk into another world. Who can restrain my ambition to become an immortal?"
