Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 247 Hex's Luck

Although the realms of Dharma cultivation and physical cultivation seem to be the same, there is actually a big difference between the two.

One of the most significant differences is the divergence in cultivation concepts that begins in the Golden Core Stage.

The former will set up Qi and blood barriers to strengthen the body when refining Qi and building the foundation.

However, after forging the flawless golden elixir, the focus began to shift to condensing true essence, studying spells, and expanding the quality and quantity of true essence.

Paying attention to physical fitness is just the foundation, true essence is the core.

The latter is different. Not only does it use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish its own qi and blood when refining qi and building the foundation.

After the Qi and blood have formed the Life Pill, the focus will shift to using the Life Pill to control the large and small acupoints in the body, and to discover and strengthen the potential of the body.

Spiritual power is just a means, qi and blood are the foundation.

Because of this, when Xiao Chen used the blood crystal to help his life pill break through the late stage of the golden elixir.

The 108 major orifices in his body resonated at the same time, responding to each other, shaking his meridians and tempering his lungs.

Faintly, one could even hear the thundering sounds of tigers and leopards exploding in the abdominal cavity.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the sound of strong heartbeats rang out, Xiao Chen immediately felt that his blood flow was accelerating.

His body temperature soared again for no reason and soon exceeded the last time.

At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a real furnace.

Some flesh and blood that was originally fragile, especially those that had not been tempered properly before.

It actually melted on the spot and instantly turned into deep red mist that dissipated.

At the same time, Xiao Chen felt an extremely powerful force emerging from his body.

Especially those places where the qi and blood had melted when absorbing the blood crystals, the qi and blood power suddenly emerged again.

They push their blood to flow faster again.

At the same time, it released a rich vitality and began to repair Xiao Chen's melted flesh and blood, and re-grow stronger skin and flesh.

As a result, his aura, which had begun to stabilize after the breakthrough, surged again.

This time the high temperature lasted for a full half hour.

Not until all the unqualified flesh and blood were replaced did the restless blood and rapid heartbeat slowly subside.

After such a special reinforcement.

Xiao Chen only felt that the energy and blood in his body were more abundant than ever before.

At the same time, the abundant energy and surging strength naturally brought him a strong sense of self-confidence and desire to destroy.

So much so that at this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to feel that he could overturn a mountain with his bare hands and smash the sea with a punch.

Well, this is what happens when a physical cultivator just breaks through a realm.

This is one of the flaws of the body training method, as it can easily make people become impulsive and irritable.

The key is to see the follow-up and whether you can control your mood in time.

However, Xiao Chen quickly calmed down, not because of any other reason.

Instead, as he broke through a new small bottleneck, three new cards appeared in front of him one after another.

[Star Blessing I: The stars bless you. Receive the blessing of a random star power from the twenty-eight constellations.]

[Little Giant: Grow tall enough, live long enough. Your height increases to thirty feet, and you gain an additional 3000 years of maximum lifespan. (Effective only once)]

[Rescue is on the way: Crisis is approaching, be careful to avoid it. After you successfully survive for five years, you will choose one of four random auxiliary equipment. (Effective only once)]

"Uh, it's actually Silver Hex."

Looking at the silver-glowing card in front of him, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But the last time and the time before that, they were both gold Hextech, so it was inevitable that I would get silver this time.

Therefore, he did not feel too regretful, but turned his attention to the first Hex.

"The power of the stars?"

It sounds very powerful. Xiao Chen also has some knowledge of the twenty-eight constellations.

Each constellation has a different function, and there are some very powerful ones among them.

But the problem is that the twenty-eight constellations are all-encompassing, and not every constellation is suitable for him.

If you choose this Hex, you are completely gambling on your luck.

"This is a bit uncontrollable, let's take a look at the other two."

Xiao Chen doesn't want to be a gambler. He has always been sworn enemies of gambling and drugs.

So he turned his attention to the second Hex.

hiss~!

The moment he saw the effect, he took a deep breath.

What the hell is thirty feet?
It's clearly called a 'little giant', but it's still thirty feet tall?
To be fair, if you look at it on its own, this option actually works pretty well.

There is no luck involved, and for a Silver Hex, the effect is powerful enough.

Well, being able to live long enough is also a skill.

In the game, with the extra health advantage, choosing the little giant can often avoid the fate of being the first to be eliminated.

In the world of cultivation, the pursuit of immortality is the common goal of cultivators.

The previous head of the Yi family, a dignified Yuanying Zhenjun, offered a sky-high reward in order to live two more years, but according to the current situation, it is unlikely that he can live for more than 1,300 years.

Most of the Yuanying Zhenjun are not much different.

As long as he chooses this, Xiao Chen can obtain a maximum lifespan of three thousand years, and directly become an old monster whose lifespan is three times longer than that of a Yuanying Zhenjun.

You can participate in various secret realms with different time limits multiple times, and have more time to comprehend the great Dao.

But the biggest problem with this option is that its real effect comes too slowly.

Xiao Chen still has more than 400 years to live, which means that for at least 400 years, this Hex will only have the effect of making it bigger.

He thought about it and decided to wait and see.

So he turned his attention to the third Hex.

"what?"

Right from the start, you see the crisis coming, followed by another five years of survival.

Xiao Chen immediately frowned. What's going on? Don't scare me.

He immediately thought of the previous intelligence reports about the increase in various disasters in the past two years and the abnormal phenomena in the sky and the earth.

It seems that my previous guess was correct, something big is about to happen.

Then I must make preparations early, improve myself as quickly as possible, and prepare to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

The more danger you face, the more you need to have enough strength to protect yourself.

Xiao Chen continued to look back: "Random auxiliary equipment, why is it still a gamble on luck?"

According to his memory, the effects of auxiliary equipment are both good and bad.

The strong ones are no less powerful than the divine weapons seen before, but the weak ones, to put it bluntly, are basically dispensable and useless.

The more critical issue is that auxiliary equipment, whether good or bad, focuses more on team effects.

The more important issue is that his last choice of Hex was a gamble on luck, but fortunately his luck in the end was not too bad.

Unexpectedly, this time it was even more excessive, and there were now two choices that required relying on luck.

Hextech is random in the first place, and the results are even more random. Isn't this forcing yourself to be a gambler?

Why is it so difficult to run a business well?

He is obviously a technical player, but if he continues like this he will become just a lucky player.
.
"How should I choose this?"

Xiao Chen glanced at the [Little Giant] again, his eyes sweeping over the eight words "height increased to thirty feet".

Between becoming a giant and taking a chance, he decided to choose the latter.

Being strong or not is only a temporary thing, but looking good or not is a lifelong thing.

Of course, the main reason is that the crisis is coming. Choosing this means no improvement, so it is excluded first.

That leaves only one and three.

The former is to gamble now, and the latter is to gamble five years later.

Then there is no need to hesitate.

As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long pain.

Compared to choosing the latter and living on, Xiao Chen is more inclined to take the initiative.

First of all, the blessing of the stars is a blessing that you can get immediately after choosing it.

Secondly, it has such a big name as the Twenty-Eight Constellations, so even if it is distorted, the effect should not be too bad.

After careful consideration, he immediately chose the first Hextech [Cosmic Blessing I].

Then he felt as if a ray of starlight fell directly from the sky into his body.

Then, he suddenly understood a message from somewhere.

The blessing received this time comes from the Heart Moon Fox, one of the seven stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon, which symbolizes the heart of the Azure Dragon.

The blessing it brings is a clear mind.

The specific effect is that it can help Xiao Chen keep his mind clear and lucid during practice.

This allows him to more easily eliminate distracting thoughts and enter a state of cultivation anytime and anywhere.

At the same time, the power of the Heart Constellation can also enhance his perception, allowing him to understand the laws of heaven and earth more clearly during his practice.

"Is this useful or useless?"

Xiao Chen was a little confused. It seemed that everything was pretty good.

Especially this understanding of the laws of heaven and earth seems to be very useful.

However, the specific effect still depends on his actual practice to test.

Xiao Chen wanted to try out the effect of the Transparent Heart immediately, but suddenly remembered that Su Li was still waiting beside him.

Considering that the choice was already made, he decided to report his safety first.

After all, she didn't know that she had the Divine Veil, and this time she was refining a strengthened blood crystal that had absorbed the power of the curse. She must still be worried about the curse now.

In fact, in the past hour or so.

Su Li's mood fluctuated and changed many times in a row.

At the beginning, she felt Xiao Chen's aura suddenly surge and successfully broke through a small bottleneck.

Not only was I filled with surprise at the rapid speed of cultivation, but I was also very happy.

She was happy for Xiao Chen's progress in cultivation, but also for herself.

Because this means that her blood crystal is not just a poison that harms people, it can also be a spiritual object that helps in cultivation.

By the same token, she is not a doomed star born with disasters, she can also become the Moon Witch Saint who helps others progress.

Thinking of this, Su Li couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly. However, just as she was standing beside Xiao Chen, ready to congratulate him as soon as possible.

It was unexpected that although Xiao Chen's breathing had stabilized, his body temperature rose abnormally again.

This sudden change immediately made her nervous again.

There was no such problem when refining blood crystals before.

However, after obtaining the magic weapon, the same situation occurred twice in a row.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the magic weapon?

Or is it that the blood crystal that absorbed the power of the curse is too strong?

Su Li's heart trembled. If that was the case, would she continue to use the magic weapon?
Just as she unconsciously clutched her clothes, she saw a deep red mist emanating from Xiao Chen in front of her.

A light breeze blew by, and the smell of blood hit me in the face - it was blood mist!
Su Li immediately widened her eyes and subconsciously prepared to use magic to save people, but she did not dare to do it.

The Lunar Eclipse Curse is extremely overbearing, and even the spells she casts carry the power of the curse.

Even a spell that could have saved someone might actually become an attack that aggravates the injury.

How to do?
Just when Su Li was panicking, she saw witch blood surging on Xiao Chen's body, helping him to grow new skin and flesh.

She was all too familiar with similar situations.

On countless lunar eclipse nights before, when she tried to weaken her condition, the witch blood in her body would heal the wounds in this way, forcing her to cut herself again and again.

But the question is, how could there be witch blood in Xiao Chen's body?
Could it be that he actually has the blood of the witch clan?
It shouldn't be.

Su Li was a little confused for a moment, but she knew that having the witch blood meant temporary safety.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stand by, staring intently at Xiao Chen in front of her.

Half an hour later, the increasingly thin blood mist finally stopped dissipating.

The original high temperature dropped rapidly, and at the same time, Xiao Chen's aura increased again, indicating that he was fine and even made progress in his cultivation.

Only then did Su Li feel relieved.

I began to have time to think about why the situation of suspected witch blood purification had just occurred.

However, Xiao Chen's aura had almost stabilized, and the breakthrough should have been over.

But he still frowned, as if he had encountered some difficult decision.

The expression on his face was unpredictable, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

Su Li looked at Xiao Chen in front of her, who had his eyes closed, silent, and brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but start to worry again.

Could it be that there is any unexpected situation?
Fortunately, it didn't take long this time, less than half a cup of tea in total.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and said to her with a smile: "The breakthrough is successful. The effect of the enhanced blood crystal is indeed more powerful."

Su Li, who was standing by, finally smiled after hearing this: "I'm glad you're okay."

Then she quickly explained, "I saw blood mist coming out of you just now, and I wanted to help you."

"But my..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Chen raised his hand to interrupt her: "Actually, you don't have to worry. Didn't I tell you before?"

"My physique is quite special and can resist all kinds of curses."

"As for the blood mist just now, judging from the results, it actually helped me to complete the tempering of my body."

"I wish this good thing could happen more often."

Xiao Chen said the last two sentences sincerely.

After all, he had just gained some real benefits. Not only did he replace the skin and flesh that had not been properly refined before, but he also tempered his lungs and internal organs.

Su Li was actually still a little worried, but she didn't continue to explain.

Instead, he silently decided in his heart to observe Xiao Chen carefully for the next few days and try to find the reason for the abnormal temperature rise.

"Today is a breakthrough in cultivation, we should celebrate it properly."

Xiao Chen took the initiative to change the subject: "I'm going to go out and catch a new species of sea fish and bring it back. Let's change the taste."

Su Li nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to the woods to pick some mushrooms and bring them back as a side dish."
.
After lunch, they both came to the beach.

Xiao Chen sat cross-legged and began to test the effect of practicing the Transparent Heart.

However, after only three breaths, he entered a rare 'flow' state and began to practice with full concentration.

Not only that, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was drawn into the body.

Xiao Chen clearly felt as if he had come to a completely new world.

The feeling is very mysterious and hard to describe.

It was as if there was a gray gauze screen between him and the real world, and now that gauze had finally been removed.

The world around me suddenly became clear and real.

It was as if the originally colorful world suddenly turned into five unclear colors mixed together.

Xiao Chen was so dizzy from watching this that he couldn't even tell where he was.

These two feelings are really strange to talk about, but they are indeed his most real feelings now.

In such an awkward situation, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was absorbed by him at a faster speed than usual.

A huge vortex of spiritual energy immediately appeared in front of the beach, directly attracting all the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles of the entire island, and all of it gathered towards the beach.

Somewhere in the dark, a thought flashed through Xiao Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

What happened today? Did I suddenly have an epiphany?

However, under the influence of his clear mind, these distracting thoughts were immediately discarded before they could distract him.

Half an hour later, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, interrupting this state.

"Ok?"

He was a little confused at first. Was this the end of his rare 'epiphany'?
Then he remembered that the reason why it ended so quickly was that before practicing, he had planned to practice for half an hour to compare the situation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt something in his heart and thought about continuing to practice.

Immediately afterwards, he actually returned to the mysterious state he was in just now, and continued to practice and comprehend the world.

Theoretically speaking, even the most powerful cultivator cannot do such a thing.

The most difficult thing for people is to control their own thoughts.

But with the help of the clear mind, Xiao Chen can now enter the ideal state of having no distractions at any time.

Moreover, when a monk enters a state of meditation, he or she almost loses perception of the outside world.

However, his current state was even more exaggerated. Not only was he concentrating on his cultivation, he could also clearly remember what he had prepared for the test.

That is to say, not only can you start practicing at any time, but you can also control when or under what conditions to stop practicing.

To sum it up in two words - invincible!
late at night.

After finishing his training for the day, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. There was a gleam in his eyes, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

I really didn't expect that the Hextech I got by luck this time would be so effective.

You know, before today, he actually had a shortcoming, which was that his foundation in understanding the laws was too weak.

Previously, when Xiao Chen was cultivating the Dharma, he broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core by relying on the Enlightenment Crystal and the Purple Gold Bodhi.

Although this will not have a particularly big impact in the Jindan stage.

However, as his cultivation level gradually improves in the future, this problem will become more and more obvious, until it can no longer be avoided or hidden.

But now it’s different.

At this moment, Xiao Chen has realized that the blurry, mixed, and intertwined things that cannot be distinguished are actually the five elements that constitute the universe.

It’s normal that I can’t see clearly, after all, my cultivation is still weak.

When the day comes when I can really see things clearly, I will probably be able to take a big step forward.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's mind suddenly became clear.

I even felt particularly energetic and had no desire to sleep. I wished I could practice for another three days and three nights in one go.

However, he did not continue to practice. Instead, he went back and slept on the beach.

Looking up at the starry sky, while searching for the location of the 'Heart Moon Fox', he began to think about his future training plan.

Originally he didn't need to worry about this.

Now with the blood crystal provided by Su Li, to be frank, it is only a matter of time before I break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But after seeing the third Hex today, Xiao Chen actually felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Theoretically, as long as the total amount of Qi and blood of a physical cultivator is high enough, he will hardly encounter a bottleneck.

However, if you rely solely on blood crystals to increase the total amount of qi and blood, the accumulation process will be extremely long.

More importantly, if you rely entirely on Suli's blood crystal.

In fact, Xiao Chen had no way of accurately determining to what extent he needed to accumulate before breaking through in order to achieve 100% success.

The reason why we emphasize 100% success is because his situation is rather special.

Although he successfully condensed the Life Pill, it was not the result of normal cultivation, and its location was not in the Dantian.

Everything has two sides.

The advantage of doing this is that even if Xiao Chen fails to break through and his life pill is damaged, he will not be injured.

Even things like the damage to his natal flying sword would not implicate him.

However, the corresponding disadvantage is.

When a normal cultivator's life elixir is damaged, as long as the damage is not serious, he can use the dantian to warm and repair the golden elixir.

However, Xiao Chen already had the flawless golden elixir in his dantian, so it was impossible for it to be compatible with the life elixir, and there was no possibility of repair.

Therefore, he must have sufficient confidence before trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Practicing both Dharma and physical cultivation can make one ahead of ordinary people, but one must also bear the cost of more troubles when breaking through.

Originally, I could have taken it slowly. At most, I could have absorbed a few more blood crystals and relied on a sufficient amount of qi and blood to cause a qualitative change.

However, judging by the clues brought by Hex, the crisis will come in less than five years.

Therefore, Xiao Chen must take the initiative to start preparing, such as looking for other spiritual objects that can increase the success rate of forming a baby.

For example, find an alchemist to help you make the Jadeite Infant Pill.

And it is best to be a fourth-level alchemist, so that you can obtain a level-breaking elixir with elixir patterns.

For example, you can find ways to collect the secret techniques and experiences of forming a baby. It would be best if you can find out about the process of forming a baby by others to help you make a better breakthrough.

However, the last point may be a bit difficult. Similar experiences are probably top secret among major forces.

"Oh, by the way, isn't Su Li the Yuanying Zhenjun?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "I can go ask her about the specific process of forming a baby."

The reason why I didn’t think of her at the first time.

The main reason is that except for the first time they met, Su Li was quite majestic, but afterwards he no longer had the airs of a True Lord.

It almost made Xiao Chen forget that she was actually his senior.
