Chapter 495: Heaven, Mirage Dragon Body
In the elixir pit, Ji Ming climbed up and down in a stream of elixir energy, showing the flying ability of a dragon, as if the void was his ground.

He touched the two small horns on the top of the head. There were no forked horns, growing on the top like a crescent, and there were eighteen pairs of legs that were a mixture of dragon and insect.

Ji Ming believed that this insect state was not only manifested in his feet, but there must be other influences within his mirage dragon body, and perhaps some organs were fused with the insect.

However, Ji Ming himself was not overly worried about the fact that the insect nature of the Second Spirit Scorpion's soul was rooted in the body of the Mirage Dragon. Just like a dragon giving birth to nine sons, sometimes the changes do not necessarily develop in a bad direction.

Ji Ming twisted the dragon's body and looked at the row of scales that looked like moonlit glass. He thought to himself, "It is said that mirage dragons have half their scales reversed, but I don't have any reverse scales."

Above the midline of the spine, there is a row of thirty-six holes evenly distributed, which connect to the thirty-six chalcedony bones in the body. Clouds and mists of phantom air are breathed in and out of them, forming a row of dragon manes above the spine.

"I wonder if these thirty-six orifices are the characteristics of the mirage dragon."

After all, Ji Ming had never seen a real mirage dragon. The only time he had seen one was in the dragon storage in the "Mirage Spirit Realm", where he had close contact with the remains of a dead mirage dragon.

He arched his body, and a large amount of mist gushed out of the hole, filling the area for a moment, even covering the light of the pearl on the top of the head. Various scenes instantly took shape in the mist.

These thirty-six holes serve as a medium for Ji Ming to perform magic.

Then, Ji Ming took off the ancient shell under his chin. Usually, there would be a dragon pill hanging under the chin of a dragon, which is the special name of Yuandan among dragon species. However, Ji Ming's mirage dragon body had just been conceived, so he did not have the ability to refine the dragon pill.

This ancient shell, which came with the creature, is truly an extraordinary object.

Slightly open the ancient shell, and as soon as a gap appears, purple air will flow out. This air does not float, but sinks to the bottom of the pit, corroding the soil at the bottom of the pit. When the ancient shell is fully opened, the purple air quickly leaks out, and the second soul, the Divine Scorpion Pearl, can be seen inside.

"So you are here."

Ji Ming summoned the Divine Scorpion Pearl out of the shell. No wonder he had never sensed the existence of the Divine Scorpion Pearl in his body. It turned out that it was hiding inside the ancient shell.

The divine scorpion bead was flying around his body, and a shadow of a dragon could be vaguely seen in it. Ji Ming remembered that there was originally a shadow of a scorpion in this bead. It seemed that the influence of this second soul treasure and the reincarnated body were interacting with each other.

But his only weakness now lies here, on this divine scorpion bead.

Once the pearl is discovered by outsiders, the identity of his second soul will inevitably be exposed.

After taking the Divine Scorpion Pearl back into the ancient shell, he put the ancient shell back under his chin. The hardness of the ancient shell was quite high, so it was no problem for Ji Ming to protect the Divine Scorpion Pearl. At present, Ji Ming had no better way to hide the Divine Scorpion Pearl.

After becoming familiar with the physical body, one should begin practicing.

The second soul's body is extraordinary. If one can use all the methods arranged in advance, the future achievements may not be worse than the original body.

After all, he has his original body to assist him from the outside, and his starting point is very high. If he really works hard, he will be able to practice the way of the demon body refining. His speed of improvement may not be slower than that of human practitioners, not to mention that he is preparing to specialize in Buddhism.

As soon as Ji Ming had a thought, a suction force was generated under the hole, and all the floating Dan Qi in the pit was sucked into the hole, greatly nourishing the dragon's body.

"There is no problem with Dan Qi."

Ji Ming thought to himself.

He still was worried about the old ancestor. Although that man looked like an immortal and had a dignified demeanor, the unorthodox tendencies in his bones were too obvious for a serious Taoist like Ji Ming.

After a while, Ji Ming had absorbed most of the Dan Qi in the pit, and another chalcedony bone grew inside the mirage dragon's body.

The ancestor did not teach him the method of body refining, so he could only rely on the mirage dragon's physical body to digest the elixir and instinctively increase his Taoism.

Of course, Ji Ming also knew that demons could enlighten themselves to the method of body refining and many other magic arts by absorbing and exhaling Huang Tian’s spiritual energy.

As soon as Ji Ming thought of this, he began to raise his head and absorb it as if he had encountered a new toy. His dragon mouth opened and closed, and soon strands of pure spiritual energy descended, accompanied by a subtle whispering and chanting sound. This voice was telling Ji Ming a true scripture, a true scripture that was created by a real dragon in the Cangjiang River long ago and dedicated to the Yellow Sky. This is a true scripture about melting the waters of the four seas and focusing on the water illusion.

From Ji Ming's point of view, it was not excellent, especially in terms of fighting. The water illusion technique in it was also restrained and targeted. It was far inferior to the Nine-Bend Tianhe True Method co-created by the three generals of Tianhe Peak.

Ji Mingxin gave a fair evaluation that this scripture was an ancient relic and was just average.

There was no way. Before the emergence of Qi-refining alchemy, and in the hundreds of years after its creation, there were very few people practicing Taoism in the world. Even if they settled down and lived together in a blessed land, fights between Taoists were rare.

At that time, what was more important was the true nature of the Great Dao, which was to legislate for demons rather than to refine the body and transform it into pills.

Moreover, the demons have long lifespans. Since Huang Tian retired, the demon groups have been scattered and the tradition of talking about Taoism has been lost. The methods they have established are mostly inefficient, resulting in the growth of Taoism in the past hundreds or thousands of years being far behind the times.

Since the creation of Qi-refining and alchemy, humanity has flourished. It is not uncommon in this world for a righteous master who has only practiced for a hundred years to kill a thousand-year-old monster.

Ji Ming listened silently to the true scriptures passed down by Huang Tian Lingji and felt very disappointed. He felt that he could hear more ancient and more ancient methods of body refining, but this required sufficient Taoism.

When the elixir energy in the pit was completely absorbed, the mirage dragon's body was no longer as slender and slender as before, but like a full-grown tiger.

He took the yellow gourd given by the old ancestor in his hand, blew a few puffs of mist on it, and refined it.

This yellow-skinned gourd is called "Jade Bee Gourd". It houses a group of jade evil spirit bees. Once released, ordinary cultivators will have no chance to resist and will be stung to death by the spirit bees. It is a famous mass-produced magic weapon in the Thousand Flowers Cave of the Bulao Peak.

However, it is difficult for this magic weapon to be upgraded to a treasure weapon, because its power lies entirely in the spirit bees in the gourd. If a few of them die, its power will be reduced by a point.

After a quick ritual, Ji Ming put the gourd aside, shook his body, and clouds gushed out of the orifices, forming a cloud lotus. He lay peacefully in the middle of it, and his spiritual consciousness gradually returned to his body.

Taiping Mountain is a blessed place.

The succession ceremony of the True Lord has passed, and Ji Ming is living in the blessed cave.

Although he had already refined the Cang-grade golden elixir and had no slack in his practice, he still proceeded steadily in the task of "water and fire being in harmony, and the Yin Spirit being awakened" in the early stage of the golden elixir. He did not rush into the tasks of the middle stage of the golden elixir just because his practice had improved, the dragon and the tiger had been properly subdued, and the Yin Spirit in the elixir was awakened quickly.

In the Taiyi Jiabu Zhenfa·Shenxing Chapter·Airi, all the lessons on the golden elixir, the fetal spirit, and the yang spirit are included.

However, in reality, only by reaching the late stage of the Golden Elixir, where he has mastered the lesson of "refining the sun and the moon, and stabilizing the five elements", can he continue to push his Xuanming Star God General to a higher level, which will be another great challenge.

In addition, Ji Ming's most important protective technique, the Six-Six Jing Gang Qi Leaf, has recently encountered problems in practice.

Because they had left the Leiwen Mountains and Swamps, the Gangfeng Breathing Technique could not be blown into the upper layers of the Nine Skies to refine the "Gangfeng Pearls" to nourish the Taoist organs and cloud hand lungs. Now the pace of refining this magic had slowed down.

His Seven-Shaped Poison Yuanbao Tower was also unable to become a magical weapon because it could not "eat" the poison offered by the strange creatures in the swamp. In recent years, the evil poison on the tower had often quarreled with him.

From this perspective, Raven Mountain and Lake are indeed a treasure land.

But now he is no longer a criminal. Even if he enters the Leiwen Mountain and Swamp again, the magic circle of Master Lu in the ruined temple will not be able to protect him. After all, he is now a real person who can stand on his own in the mountain.

Now think about it, if it weren't for Lu Daojun's advice during the most critical years, Lu Zhenjun ordered him to meditate in the mountains and swamps, and arranged for the protection of the ancestors' circle of magic, and gave him the Taiyin refining body of "Intake of Qi and Three Corruptions", he would not have achieved what he has today.

This is a favor, and it is also cause and effect, and it will have to be repaid in the future.

The sky and earth are connected in Leiwen Mountain and Marsh, which is beneficial to his Gangfeng Breathing Method, but he can't go back anymore. He is sure that Master Lu will not break this rule for him, so he has no choice but to find another way.

Almost in the next second, Ji Ming had thought of a solution - go to heaven.
