The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Chapter 22 Humanoid Shortcut
In the Demon Spirit Lake, in a temple specially built for monks to rest, Shi Yi sat quietly cross-legged on a cushion.

Inside the hall, wisps of smoke rise from the antique beast-ear stove, like gauze floating in the air. When you breathe, a strange fragrance fills your mouth and nose, making you feel relaxed all over, as if you are in a fairyland.

This is a precious and exotic incense. The smoke that overflows after being lit can relieve fatigue, making the monks energetic and refreshed.

Shi Yi is preparing for the important and critical moment of his fifth birthday and adjusting his own state.

His father Shi Ziteng was sitting cross-legged opposite him.

Looking at this parent and child who were both familiar and unfamiliar, Shi Ziteng couldn't help but recall the thrilling scene in the hall just now.

The Lord of the Demon Spirit Lake and the Green Demon Black-Eyed Spider are both venerable ones, comparable to the emperors of ancient countries. They are the top creatures in the wilderness. Normally, in front of them, Shi Ziteng dare not even breathe, and every word he says is cautious.

Shi Yi had just arrived here, but he dared to talk to them like that. He was really a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. Shi Ziteng was frightened by this.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Shi Yi successfully gained the attention of the two great masters, who decided to place their bets on him.

Shi Ziteng couldn't help but sigh. Having talent means being willful. When the talent for practicing Taoism is as strong as Shi Yi's, even a supreme power like the Venerable will lower himself to accommodate him.

"Yier, the human body is inherently weaker than some other races, and its potential is limited. Even if you have a supreme bone, at most you can only be close to or on par with pure-blooded creatures.

"A single swing of the arm, lifting 180,000 pounds—this goal is too difficult, simply impossible. Your strengths are runes, rules, enlightenment, and magic. Don't neglect one for the other." Shi Ziteng said earnestly.

"Father, do you know why all living things in this world have to transform into human form when they reach the highest level of cultivation?" Shi Yi opened his eyes and did not answer Shi Ziteng's words, but asked a question in return.

The latter was slightly stunned by Shi Yi's sudden question. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. The strong men of many races could transform into human-shaped creatures.

However, Shi Ziteng has not explored the answer to this question.

He shook his head helplessly.

Shi Yi spoke again: “Because in this world, some forms are naturally close to the Tao and are suitable for cultivation.

The human body is one of them. By practicing in the form of a human creature, one can approach immortality.

As for us humans, we are born with human bodies and have infinite potential, but it is difficult to develop it. Once we tap into the endless potential hidden deep within the human body, what will pure-blooded creatures be? "

This was the first time Shi Ziteng heard such a statement. Although he heard it from his five-year-old son, Shi Ziteng could feel that Shi Yi was not lying.

"What you said does make some sense..." In the end, this was all he could say.

Soon, the hall became quiet again, and only the rhythmic breathing of Shi Yi could be heard.

……

Half a month later, the Green Demon Black-Eyed Spider returned, bringing with it a full load of various auxiliary medicines needed for Shi Yi's baptism.

This time, it traveled almost all over the sacred mountain, visited many large tribes and pure-blooded creatures, and exchanged for precious medicinal materials, rare animal blood, etc. listed on the list.

For this, the Green Demon Black-Eyed Spider paid a huge price. To be more precise, the Demon Spirit Lake suffered a heavy loss. After all, in order to exchange those things, things of equal value were required.

However, none of this matters anymore. The most important thing is to gather all the materials so as not to delay Shi Yi's fifth-year-old baptism.

The old golden spider personally took action and stood in front of the mountain gate of the Demon Spirit Lake to welcome the return of the Green Demon.

"How is it?" it asked.

The Jade Demon Black-Pupil Spider smiled and nodded, replying, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

Hearing this, the old golden spider felt relieved. You know, the materials on the list were carefully selected by them, with reference to the many ancient recipes collected in the Demon Spirit Lake. If the Green Demon Black-eyed Spider failed to collect all the materials on this trip, they would have to find substitutes.

If substitutes are used, the efficacy of the medicine will inevitably be affected.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and all the materials on the list were collected.

"Very good, let's start refining the medicine immediately." said the old golden spider.

The Green Demon Black-Eyed Spider naturally had no objection. It also wanted to see to what extent such a furnace of miraculous medicine could help Shi Yi.

Soon, Shi Ziteng, who had his eyes slightly closed, heard the old golden spider's voice in his ears.

"Ziteng, bring Yi'er to the Medicine Hall."

Shizi opened his eyes suddenly. After waiting for half a month, is it finally here?
At this moment, Shi Yi sat upright with his eyes closed. A light was faintly visible and a faint blood-like aura was lingering all over his body.

He did not waste these fifteen days.

At the suggestion of the old golden spider, Shi Ziteng brought him the original bone book and detailed explanation of runes collected by the Demon Spirit Lake for Shi Yi to use in his practice.

These bone books and detailed explanations were much more profound and abstruse than those in the Prince Wu's Palace. Shi Yi was immersed in them and couldn't extricate himself. He spent half a month in enlightenment.

During this period, with the help of Chongtong, Shi Yi's understanding of bone inscriptions and symbols became more and more profound, and he gradually realized their essence, which was of great benefit to his practice in the Blood Moving Realm.

Countless blood divine rays in his body were undergoing subtle changes. Whether they were transforming into bells, tripods, spears... or swords, they were all more exquisite and real than before.

What followed was an explosion of Shi Yi's qi and blood power, which grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just half a month, he made tremendous progress, which surprised Shi Ziteng and made him feel ashamed.

Shi Ziteng sighed sincerely that this son was really too evil. He was known as a genius and was famous in the imperial capital, but compared with Shi Yi, he was no different from an ordinary person.

"Yier, the ancestor is calling us, it's time for us to set off." Shi Ziteng said.

After he finished speaking, Shi Yi nodded, stopped practicing in the Blood Moving Realm, and stood up from the cushion.

Afterwards, the father and son walked out of the palace, moved forward, passed through one palace after another, and came to a magnificent hall.

This is the place where the magic spirit lake refines medicine, and it is also the place where the young spiders in the tribe build their foundation.

At this moment, there was no spider in front of the Alchemy Hall. They had been dismissed by the old golden spider long ago. From a long-term perspective, Shi Yi's five-year-old baptism was related to the future of the Demon Spirit Lake. Naturally, he could not be careless and had to eliminate all unfavorable factors.

Standing in front of the alchemy hall, there was a strong medicinal fragrance floating in the air, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Obviously, the Demon Spirit Lake is not a good place. The number of creatures that died in the Alchemy Hall is almost as high as a mountain.
