Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 85: The Origin of Energy in the Body

Late at night, the small mountain village is quiet and the moonlight sprinkles all around like water, adding a touch of tenderness to this sleepless night.

Several disciples of the Meiyu Sect were standing by the fire, chatting with each other. Sometimes they laughed quietly, sometimes they remained silent. No one knew what they were talking about.

A breeze blew by, and the flames on the ground were swaying left and right, as if they were about to go out. Several people crowded towards the center to help block the small flames.

Xiao Yichen in the village suddenly opened his eyes, stood up carefully, walked slowly to the window, and looked out. He saw that several disciples of the Meiyu Sect who were on guard at night were still gathered together and talking, and they didn't pay any attention to the situation underground.

"It's finally here. What kind of monster was sent this time? It's hiding underground." Xiao Yichen activated his insight technique to its strongest level, but the soil on the ground was too thick. He could only roughly perceive the location of the monster underground, but could not know its appearance.

Finally, when the disciples who were on night watch burst into laughter again, something broke out of the ground and rushed towards their faces.

"Ah...what kind of monster is this?"

A scream woke everyone up, but most of them were still in the stage of just waking up and had no idea what was happening. Therefore, when an unknown monster suddenly appeared in their respective tents, everyone panicked.

"Hey... Xiao Zi, your relative? Why is his head covered with mouths?" Xiao Yichen had already seen the whole appearance of the monster. It was a python-like monster with no head or tail. The tips of both sides were covered with mouthparts. After biting the prey with its sharp teeth in its mouth, it would not let go without tearing off a layer of skin. Its body was covered with mucus. The two combined made it a really good tunnel digger.

Everyone had never seen such a thing before, and they were instantly in chaos. In addition, it was night, and their already frightened hearts were now filled with even more terror.

Yunmei had already rushed out of the tent, with the monster still stabbed on the sword in her right hand, and shouted loudly at everyone.

"Don't panic, this monster is only at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. It's no match for you."

However, no one paid any attention to her. After all, most of the people present were women, who were naturally disgusted by such slippery and disgusting things and just wanted to kick them away as soon as possible.

Everyone fought back randomly. In the camp, streams of spiritual energy shot out in all directions. The damage was not great, but the chaos was extremely intense.

Seeing that most of the disciples were in a panic, Yun Mei had no choice but to rescue them one by one. She kept slapping the strange snakes around her with her hands, and each palm could easily kill one.

Slowly, as more and more disciples were rescued by her, the situation in the field was finally under control. Under the leadership of Yunmei, everyone continued to kill those monsters.

However, the flesh and blood of those monster snakes that were killed violently seemed to have rotted away long ago, emitting an extremely foul odor. The faces of everyone present looked extremely ugly, and some of those with poor psychological endurance had already run to the side and vomited.

Xiao Yichen was still hiding in the house, watching everything in the distance, muttering to himself:

"If I were the one behind this, this experiment would be considered a success. To deal with female monks, I would have to resort to dirty tactics like this. If I can't kill them, I'll at least disgust them to death, and their combat power will drop by more than half."

"You are quite smart. You actually understood our purpose this time."

A voice like thunder reached Xiao Yichen's ears, frightening him so much that he jumped out of the window with cold sweat on his forehead.

"When did it appear?"

He was extremely surprised. He had been using the clairvoyance technique, but he had no idea how the other person appeared next to him. Either that person was a ghost, or the other person's strength far exceeded his.

"Don't waste your energy. I'm in the room. Come in." The voice sounded again. Xiao Zi also crawled out of his arms at this time and kept hissing warnings towards the house in front of him.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked bravely. Several spiritual swords appeared around him. He frowned and looked into the house, but saw nothing. He thought the other party would not answer, but he never expected that the man suddenly laughed.

"Haha, this power, yes, this is it, I finally found it."

Hearing the other party's ambiguous words, Xiao Yichen's alarm bells rang, but before he could think about it, the door was pushed open.

Standing in front of me was a middle-aged man with white hair. Yes, white hair and middle-aged man, these two words that shouldn't go together just happened to describe the man in front of me. He had a strong face and a well-proportioned body. He didn't have a body type that gave off an oppressive feeling, but the aura emanating from his body was terrifying.

The other party looked at Xiao Yichen with a vigilant expression and couldn't help but smile.

"I've seen you before, so don't be so hostile. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago."

Xiao Yichen was surprised that the other party had actually seen him, but he had no impression of him at all.

As if seeing his doubts, the mysterious man smiled and said:

"You were only at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm at that time, but you killed one of my test subjects who was at the initial stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Do you remember now?"

Now that things have come to this, if Xiao Yichen still can't remember, then he really has a problem with his brain. This person is the one who controlled the group of strange monsters in the village below Qingfeng Pavilion. He didn't expect that the other party had already noticed him at that time.

"What exactly do you want to do? Are you the person who appeared in the sect competition some time ago? And what did you mean by what you just said?"

The mysterious man mentioned before that he had finally found some power, which made him instantly think of the energy in his body. Apart from that, he really couldn't find anything else.

Hearing this, the mysterious man nodded, admitting that he was the mysterious man who kidnapped the powerful fusion realm expert during the sect competition.

Then he slowly walked in front of Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen did not retreat. Just as the other party said, if he really wanted to kill him, he would have killed him long ago. The other party's strength was definitely far above his.

"Do you want to know what that power in your body is?" asked the mysterious man. As he spoke, he looked at the spiritual swords around Xiao Yichen, touched them lightly with his fingers, and looked extremely excited.

"you know?"

Xiao Yichen was shocked. Xuan Qing had been investigating in Qingfeng Pavilion for several months but couldn't figure out the origin of this power, but the other party knew it just by taking a look.

"Of course, do you want to know?" the man said with a smile.

Xiao Yichen nodded without hesitation. Seeing this, the man waved his right hand and projected a shadow in the air. The picture now stopped at an extremely majestic back. The man was standing on the void, looking forward. His body was covered with thunder and lightning, each of which was as huge as a mad dragon, but it had no effect on him at all. The surrounding space was full of countless cracks, as if even this world could not withstand his existence, and the nine heavens and ten earths were kneeling at his feet.

This scene alone gave Xiao Yichen an extremely shocking impact. However, what shocked him even more was the mysterious man's next words.

"The energy within you and the person in the painting share the same origin."
