Chen Xi quietly stood at the entrance of the cave.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the top of the cave.
He seemed to have seen something, but because the surrounding light was too dim, he gently snapped his fingers.
Under the surge of True Essence, the ball of fluorescent green light suspended in mid-air suddenly flew to the center of the cave, and then became brighter and brighter.
Then, the ball of light directly turned from green to white, and constantly bloomed with dazzling light.
The ball of light emitted a strong light like the summer sun, and instantly lit up every corner of the cave.
In an instant, the light was as bright as day, and the fine details could be seen clearly.
With the light source, Chen Xi directly walked into the cave with Zhao Guifen.
At this time, he raised his head again and looked at the top of the cave.
There were actually three people hanging above the cave!
He saw that in the center of the cave, about three meters above the ground, a wooden beam was placed on the wall at both ends of the cave.
And on this beam, there were three people in red wedding robes hanging in order.
The three of them had their heads down, and their faces were facing down.
Their hair was messy, and their long hair hung down naturally, covering their faces. Therefore, it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, and even whether they were dead or alive.
They were hung on the beam with their heads down, and their appearance was somewhat similar to the cured meat that was hung outside the balcony in winter, one after another, and arranged very neatly …
What was even more strange was that these people's feet were tied with thick ropes, and there was a medium-sized weight hanging on their feet.
The weight was tied with a thin rope, and it hung on their feet, naturally hanging to the ground.
And below the weight, there was a wooden basin filled with clear water.
In addition, around the wooden basin, there were three small incense burners, and they were in a tripartite formation, surrounding the basin in the middle.
Each of the small incense burners had a red incense candle inserted into it.
The incense candles were already lit, and a light breeze blew, and the candle flame was constantly dancing with the breeze …
In the deepest part of the abandoned coal mine, such a strange scene actually appeared, and it was really a bit shocking.
Chen Xi silently sized up the layout of the cave, then put Zhao Guifen down on the sidewalk outside the cave, and slowly walked into the depths of the cave.
The beam was made of wood, the weight was made of gold, the clear water was made of water, the candle was made of fire, and the surrounding area was made of earth.
Since it was an arrangement of the Five Elements, he could calculate the time.
This year was the year of Wuxu, the second month of the lunar year was the first month of the lunar year, and the eighth day of the lunar year was the first day of the lunar year.
Wuxu is Yang, Jiayin is Yang, Bingxu is Yang.
Yang year, Yang month, Yang day.
Once the sun rose, it would be a quarter past noon, which was also the legendary time of the sun.
It was clearly a sunny day, but Chen Xi found such a sinister and evil arrangement in this gloomy and abandoned mine ….
Now that was interesting.
Chen Xi swaggered into the depths of the cave.
At this moment, the person who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground slowly opened his eyes when he heard his footsteps.
Yes, there was a person in the cave.
That person was sitting cross-legged on the futon below the three people in red.
He was about forty years old, wearing a black robe, with a cold face, and a bun on the top of his head. This dressing was somewhat like a priest in a Taoist temple.
He didn't open his eyes when Chen Xi lit up the cave.
Until Chen Xi walked directly into the cave without even saying hello, the person finally couldn't help but open his eyes.
After opening his eyes, he first looked up at the light ball suspended above the cave, then looked at Chen Xi and asked, "Mister, why are you here so late at night?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi asked with interest, "Are you an alchemist?"
"No, I'm a warlock."
"Warlock?"
Seeing Chen Xi's puzzled look, the person couldn't help but look at him a few more times, then asked curiously, "You don't know about warlocks?"
"I really don't know, I wonder if mister can explain it to me."
"Alchemist, warlock, and sorcerer … Since Qin Shi Huang killed the alchemists, the theory of yin and yang disasters arose in Western Han. Because of the different ideas, the sorcerer was divided into two factions, alchemist and warlock. I'm the successor of the warlock."
"Alchemist? Warlock? "
Chen Xi pondered for a moment, then asked again, "What's the difference between the two?"
However, when the person heard Chen Xi's question, it was as if he had heard a joke, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "In terms of origin, there's no difference between the two. The reason why there are two different factions, alchemist and warlock, is just because those hypocrites insist on the distinction between good and evil … "
What is good? What is evil?
Alchemists are good, warlocks are evil.
This is the difference between alchemists and warlocks.
Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but glance at the layout of the cave, his heart suddenly had the most intuitive understanding of the warlock.
Even cultivation had to use such evil methods, no wonder the world said that warlocks were evil, this really wasn't slandering them …
"Thank you mister for your explanation, but I still have a question to ask."
"Please ask."
It was just the first time they met, but the two of them were like old friends, asking and answering questions, it was really a bit magical.
"I want to ask, why did mister arrange this?"
Chen Xi said while pointing at the three red-clothed people hanging on the beam.
Hearing this, that person glanced at the Blood Thorn Grass in Chen Xi's hand with deep meaning. Then, he suddenly laughed out loud.
He seemed to be very proud of his masterpiece.
After raising his head to look at the three red-clothed people above him, that person proudly introduced to Chen Xi, "This is a cultivation method that I have spent several decades of effort to create. I have combined many inheritances in the world and went through untold hardships to create. I have named it: Five Elements Soul Refining Technique!"
"The red clothed soul locks, the weight drops the soul, one foot above the ground, the soul can't escape with the earth, so the soul stays."
"The Soul Guide Needle opens the Niwan Palace, leads the soul out of the body, hangs on the beam, and hooks the soul with wood."
"The water and fire array is placed below the feet, the water melts the soul, the fire tempers the soul, so it can remove the impurities of the soul, one out of ten, only one part of the essence will be drawn into the body."
"After the essence enters the body, you must immediately enter a meditative state, using the essence as a guide to circulate 36 small cycles, when the essence is exhausted, you will circulate 18 large cycles, the external essence will guide your own essence, after completing the cycle, you will not leave each other, touching the heavenly acupoints to open the jade door."
"If the jade door is opened, it means that you have successfully condensed your essence, and you have stepped onto the path of immortality!"
After the man explained the layout of the cave, he looked at Chen Xi with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "I've been thinking about this set of techniques for many years, but I haven't been able to perfect it …"
"Until last year, when I accidentally found this mysterious plant, I finally understood the crux of it, and perfected this Five Elements Soul Refining Technique."
As he spoke, he pointed at the blood thorn in Chen Xi's hand, the expression on his face became playful.
However, Chen Xi didn't have the self-awareness of a thief.
He picked up the blood thorn and casually glanced at it, then nodded and smiled: "Although this blood thorn can steal souls, it is only a plant. I didn't expect you to be able to comprehend the truth of cultivation from it, it is truly admirable, Zhang Sanfeng is probably not much better than this …"
Chen Xi wasn't lying.
This person was born on a planet like Earth, but he was able to rely on his own exploration to find the threshold of cultivation.
If this kind of talent was placed in the Heavenly Jade World, there was no way to imagine what he would achieve now.
