Wet viviparity

Chapter 25: Upgrading, Communication Items

Since the day he left the old temple, Ji Ming felt deeply the depth of the human law network, which made him feel like a mosquito falling into a spider web in the secular world.

For the next few weeks, he remained by the pond practicing.

After successfully collecting and replenishing energy, Ji Ming finally dared to go into the water to find the source that caused the precious eyes to develop faster.

He has not forgotten that fish boss, who was very smart. Now, more than ten years have passed, and he wonders what progress it has made in the pond.

After going into the water several times, he still didn't see the fish boss, nor did he find the source of the thing that affected the precious eye.

Ji Ming felt a little depressed. Could it be that this was the so-called blessed land with spiritual veins, where inspiration was born spontaneously, or was it that he just didn't have this opportunity?

After searching in vain, Ji Ming began to concentrate on practicing the Moon Worship Method. The restlessness in his body and the impurities in his heart were gradually washed away, and he gradually felt a sense of clarity and spirituality.

I have to say, compared with the practice of collecting and replenishing spiritual energy, the practice of swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy is really like a turtle crawling.

At this speed of practice, it would probably take another ten years to get rid of all the feathers, add a pair of bird feet, and complete the illusion.

During his practice, he was still waiting.

One day, the person he was waiting for finally sent him the first letter via crow.

The person he was waiting for was Madam Zhang.

The characters on the letter were not ancient seal characters, but the popular Ba script of today. Ji Ming had seen some of them in the Fox Society, but he could not recognize them very well.

In order to read the letters, he had to find an old teacher who taught children in a nearby village and gave him some money to learn the Pareto language.

Ji Ming now looks like a decent human being. As long as he doesn't show his bird claws, he won't arouse suspicion even if he stands in front of people.

Even so, he was cautious and only sought that gentleman to learn Pawen at night.

During this period, the old man couldn't stand the nights and almost quit his job. Fortunately, Ji Ming gave him more money, which made him endure it.

After learning in this way, I could barely read the letter written by Mrs. Zhang.

Ever since Madam Zhang became a disciple of the fortune teller, Ji Ming has been determined to maintain this relationship.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang was grateful to him and did not have any strong prejudice against demons, so the two could exchange letters.

In the letter, Mrs. Zhang explained the reason for the delay in delivering the letter.

Since they parted at the old temple, she had been getting along very well with the Jade Blood Goddess. In just a few days, they were like real grandmother and granddaughter. It was as if their fate was destined in the previous life.

Mrs. Zhang, who had not felt the love of her family for a long time, was so immersed in it that she forgot to write the letter.

In addition, Mrs. Zhang mentioned her recent situation.

As her relationship with the witch deepened, she sent Zhang's name, birth date, and other information to "Panku Mountain" early on to have her name included in the clan register.

Although this kind of sect's scriptures are not as good as the Taoist scriptures that are close to the gods, they are different from the mundane ones and can formally start one's journey of seeking the Dharma.

In the last paragraph, Madam Zhang said that she needed to collect insects in the mountains to refine the Five Immortals and practice secret skills, and she hoped to get help from Ji Ming.

After reading the letter, Ji Ming waited by the pond.

He had an idea, an idea that came to him after he learned that the witch was good at refining the Five Immortals.

But this idea is still immature, so he needs to contact Madam Zhang and get more information to perfect this idea.

This is about reincarnation in the next life, and more about the accumulation of the next life. Ji Ming must arrange it carefully.

A few days later, Ji Ming and Madam Zhang came.

The two of them were collecting insects together in the morning mist in the mountains. Ji Ming wanted to ask some questions, so he said some funny words, which made Madam Zhang laugh.

It can be seen that the witch treated her well, otherwise her mental state would not be so good.

"What a flying freak!" After a sweet laugh, Madam Zhang said, "If I didn't know your background, I'm afraid that after hearing your words, I would definitely think you were a playboy."

Seeing that Madam Zhang was in a good mood, Ji Ming said, "When will you be able to get down the mountain if you keep collecting insects like this? Why don't I come and help you?"

"My grandmother said that to capture the Five Immortals one must be sincere and handle each one of them, leaving the poison in one's palm. Only by activating the 'Colorful Cloud Poisonous Hand' can one lay the foundation for this secret skill."

The Five Immortals is a general term for five animals: snake, scorpion, centipede, toad, and gecko. Of course, everyone seems to prefer to call them the Five Poisonous Creatures.

"Madam Zhang, how does Caiyun Poisonous Hand compare to my magic?"

Ji Ming showed off his skills intentionally, and his Taoist robe was rustling in the black wind that blew up from the ground.

"I can't compare." Seeing Ji Ming showing off like this, Madam Zhang smiled and said, "But I heard that secret skills can be cultivated step by step. If I can improve my Colorful Cloud Poison Hand, it can be upgraded to a magic spell called "Five Colored Tents." "

"I knew the secret skill wasn't that simple!" Ji Ming exclaimed in his heart.

If he wanted to practice the third form of his Crane Controlling Skill, he needed the participation of the demonic nature of hundreds of birds. It was not as simple as ordinary martial arts.

"Mrs. Zhang"

"Call me Zhang Xinmei, or call me by my nickname Zhou Zhou."

Ji Ming knew that in ancient times people often used repeated characters to give nicknames, but he didn't expect that there was such a custom in this world as well.

However, nicknames are only told to those who are very close to one. Since Madam Zhang has already entered the true stream, how could she still be attracted to this demon?

Ji Ming felt that he shouldn't think too much, as it would be bad for both him and her.

After all, he came here and has the precious eye in his body. It is an opportunity that comes only once in many lifetimes, not the one to indulge in love, so he might as well pretend that he doesn't know.

"So your secret skill requires collecting the poisons of the Five Immortals to practice?" When Madam Zhang saw that Ji Ming did not call her by her nickname, the humility deep in her heart could not help but surge up, and her interest was reduced a lot.

As for why she was willing to get close to a demon, it was probably because she had lost her virginity and innocence. Only in front of this demon who was free from worldly constraints and etiquette, did she feel that she still had a little dignity.

Of course, Zhang Xinmei had to admit in her heart that this demon's behavior and funny words could indeed confuse her heart.

"The law of heaven is strict, and humans and demons are on different paths. What troubles and disasters are you looking for?!"

Madam Zhang was thinking this in her heart, and her expression became much more natural. When she looked at Ji Ming beside her, she seemed to be able to take it calmly.

“Ordinary Five Immortals can only lay the foundation for secret skills.

To truly master it, one must find the five kinds of spiritual immortals, collect the poison they produce and refine them into elixirs. This will not only enhance the practice of Zhoutian cultivation, but also maintain the practice of secret skills.

However, among the five immortals, the scorpion and centipede are the most difficult to become spirits, and they need to be different species.

My mother-in-law once said that she had a centipede fairy species in her hands, which she had raised for many years and treasured very much.

Recently, in order to strengthen my foundation in Taoism, my mother-in-law has been looking for centipede immortals raised by her fellow disciples in the "Panku Mountain" in the hope of producing a group of centipede immortal offspring.

But even in the "Pan Ku Mountain", there are not many disciples who can cultivate such a spiritual fairy."

"Two Scorpion and Centipede Immortals!"

Ji Ming took note of it in his mind, and a certain thought became even stronger.

In the following weeks, Ji Ming helped Madam Zhang to capture the Five Immortals in the mountains. Most of them were insignificant and did not even have basic spiritual abilities.

At the same time, Ji Ming gave him guidance on his secret skills from time to time. After all, secret skills cannot be practiced without fighting.

In addition, during the guidance, Ji Ming also wanted to see the difference between "Colorful Cloud Poison Hand" and his "Crane Controlling Skill".

By the pond, Madam Zhang was wearing a coarse cloth and a short brown robe. Her arms moved around her body with nimble steps, like two nimble snakes moving up and down.

"Flower fists and embroidered legs!"

Ji Ming said bluntly.

The next second, Madam Zhang rushed over and hit him with her palm, but Ji Ming did not move at all. Having experienced life-and-death battles, he was no longer the same as he was that day.

When the palm of flesh came towards him erratically, Ji Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed the wrist directly.

"Too much flexibility, but not enough resourcefulness!"

Ji Ming commented again.

Madam Zhang's breathing became heavier, and her wrist seemed to be boneless. It slipped out of Ji Ming's hand, making a hissing sound as it was swung rapidly.

"She's getting faster." Ji Ming thought.

In an instant, Madam Zhang clenched her five fingers, as if imitating a bird's beak or a snake's head, and pecked at Ji Ming's forehead rapidly.

"Snapped!"

With a slight sound, the wrist was grabbed again.

"Why?" Madam Zhang stopped attacking and asked in confusion, "The Spirit Snake Hand in Caiyundu's hand is what my mother-in-law is best at. She said that I have mastered the true meaning of it."

"It's interesting."

Ji Ming pressed the muscles on her wrist and said, "Your problem is not the secret skills, but that your muscles are always highly tense. This can certainly maintain the best attack strength, but it also exposes your offensive intentions."

"muscle?"

"It is a soft, elastic flesh structure attached to bones or internal organs that has the ability to contract."

Madam Zhang seemed to understand something and said, "So I should relax in moderation, so that my muscles can contract and release as I please. This way, I can adjust my attack intentions at any time during a fight."

Ji Ming was amazed at Madam Zhang's ability to comprehend. Moreover, it had only been a month since she started learning the secret skills. Even with the guidance of a famous teacher like the witch, her progress could be considered astonishingly fast.

For a moment, Ji Ming felt that the accumulation of these past few lifetimes was like a joke in front of the other party's talent.

"Come again!"

Madam Zhang gained a new understanding of combat and immediately wanted to put it into practice.

When she raised her palm again, Ji Ming could not predict the trajectory of her palm technique, and the feeling of uncertainty became even stronger.

When the palm of the hand hit him, Ji Ming could even see the poisonous spots on the palm, which was a sign that Caiyun Poison Hand's foundation was solid.

"Come!"

Ji Ming's mind moved, he stretched out his arms, and his body was pulled backwards by the cold wind. He disappeared from Madam Zhang's palm in an instant, and then he raised his palm.

This palm technique was something he had created recently. He condensed a ball of dark wind in his palm, combined it with the Crane Control Technique, and used the palm force to strike out all at once.

When Ji Ming pushed out with his palm, his sleeves bulged, and the dark wind hidden in his hands was pushed by the palm force, condensed into a ball, and whistled out.

Madam Zhang opened her eyes wide. She only saw Ji Ming stretching out his palm towards her from a distance and heard the whistling sound of the wind, but she could not see anything.

Suddenly, the hair beside my ear was lifted, and it was obvious that something or a force was brushing past my face.

Ji Ming looked at the spot where his Yin Palm had hit, stopped the sparring, and said, "It's getting late, let's stop here today, you go down the mountain."

After Madam Zhang left, Ji Ming looked at that spot and shouted with a smile, "How long will mother-in-law hide?"
