In the early morning, the Dark Moon City was discussing the major events that happened. The Cloak Gang attacked the Gorefiend Gang's nest at night. Arux, who became Aguile's subordinate after being defeated in the arena last time, personally beheaded the Gorefiend Gang's leader, Wick. The Gorefiend Gang was almost wiped out, and only some insignificant minions escaped. Since then, the Cloak Gang had become the largest group force in the Dark Moon City.
Of course, the Cloak Gang also had the title of the imperial guards reserve team. This title represented the supreme ruler of the Dark Moon, Princess Royal. Therefore, although the supporters behind the Gorefiend Gang, the Mellon Family, held a grudge, they didn't dare to take revenge on the Cloak Gang on the surface.
At the same time, another piece of news spread, diluting the bloody scene last night. That was, the temporary meeting three days later would decide the new financial officer and sheriff candidates. Tim, who was in the limelight recently, was very popular. Obviously, it was deliberately created by someone.
Compared with these news, the human mining officer who returned to the Dark Moon dejectedly became the target of people's teasing. Except for the core decision-making level of Jía and Old Gauss, only a few people were happy about Chen Rui's "return".
Aldas had been immersed in the research of black potions, and he didn't want to see anyone. After knowing that Chen Rui was back, he interrupted his research to meet up. Chen Rui gave him a whole set of True Series black potions, saying that it was the reward of the grand master's trial, but he must keep it a secret.
From Aldas's green eyes, it was obvious that he didn't listen to the other words. His eyes were like a pervert who hadn't touched a woman for a hundred years seeing a beautiful naked woman who was seducing him. Before Chen Rui finished speaking, Aldas "snatched" these precious potions with superhuman speed. He plunged into the underground secret laboratory and never came out again. It was estimated that he would "lurk" for a long time this time.
Chen Rui's current identity was not suitable for him to go to the arena, so he had been living in the laboratory. Athena also lived in the laboratory in the name of protection. The imp, Slee, was particularly happy to reunite with his master after a long separation. Some time ago, Slee was controlled by Princess Royal. The only thing he could do to kill time was to read books. The books on basic knowledge of pharmaceutics that Chen Rui gave him were all read by the imp. He had a strong interest in pharmaceutics. He seemed to be a more "competent" pharmaceutics apprentice than Chen Rui.
Chen Rui actually didn't go to Mountain Xilang. The reason why Tim was able to leave the mine wasn't because of the longevity potion, but the effect of the magic bottle Chen Rui got from Skye.
Skye's magic bottle could maintain the validity of the Water of Life for three months. After returning to the Dark Moon City, Chen Rui had enough Water of Life to provide, so Tim didn't have to worry about his life.
Now Tim was collecting a large number of aura materials through his family's power. Firstly, it was for the longevity potion, and secondly, it was for Chen Rui's training ground consumption.
With the secret support of the Saiful Family and Joseph's resources, the aura problem was basically solved.
From the beginning of Star Conversion until now, including the time in the training ground, Chen Rui had been training in various environments for several years. Logically speaking, his will had been tempered to be quite strong, but he didn't know why his situation wasn't good these days. He had been locking himself in the room. Even Athena was warned not to approach him.
Chen Rui sat quietly in the glacier. Most of his body had been frozen. For him who had been training for a long time, although his body function had been reduced to a very weak level by this bone-chilling cold, his will was getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, there was a heat in his heart. This annoying feeling had appeared many times recently. It was as if a flame was burning in his chest. Even the coldness of the outside world couldn't suppress the heat of the flame.
Silence! Silence! Silence! Silence! Silence!
Chen Rui's meditation technique worked. His consciousness was filled with the word "silence". There was a hint of coolness in his heart that slowly melted the flame. At this moment, there was a sudden change. The word "silence" in the sky was burning into a scorching flame. Suddenly, there was a cluster of illusions.
In the midst of the fire, there were screams from time to time. There were broken limbs everywhere, and the smell of blood came. In the flame, there was a figure killing madly. Along the way, there was a road made of human heads. That figure was very familiar. It turned out to be Chen Rui himself …
The scene changed again. "Your body belongs to me! I will use your body to kill the people closest to you with my own hands! " Glorfin, who was wearing the "God-Eating Mask", laughed. He controlled his body to kick away the corpse of Paglio at the front and walked toward Aldas who had lost his ability to resist step by step …
These are all illusions! Chen Rui's heart woke up. He tried his best to use the meditation technique to dispel the distracting thoughts brought by these illusions. The word "silence" in the flame became clear again, but the illusions still did not stop.
In the Earth Realm, Chen Rui sneered while holding the repaired Earth Elemental Heart in his hand. "Bang", he punched the Earth Elemental King's body in the fountain of vitality into pieces …
Chen Rui once again broke free from the nightmare-like illusions. He panted heavily, and the word "silence" in his will also made a corresponding sound. It actually exploded. As if it was contagious, the word "silence" exploded one after another. If he could see the status bar at this time, he could find that the original fine and clear Star Map had become dim and even trembled a little.
The illusions were still continuing.
It was Chen Rui again. He made a beastly sound in his throat. He pressed a naked female body under him in a humiliating posture and violated her madly. His hand was pulling the woman's long golden hair. The woman's snow-white body was full of scratches. She raised her face in pain. It was actually Jía. There were many bruised naked women lying on the side. All of them had their eyes closed. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. There were Athena, Christina, and even Kia, Alice, Delia, Lysa …
The "quietness" in the flames burst apart. His consciousness was filled with the violent and manic flames. Chen Rui could no longer maintain the state of calmness. He covered his head in pain, and his whole body actually burst into flames. The low temperature of the glacier not only couldn't extinguish the flames, but it also showed signs of melting.
At this moment, the flames burning on Chen Rui's body suddenly turned black. A burst of coolness entered his consciousness, controlling the crazy flame power. Finally, he returned to normal.
With the power of the black flame, Chen Rui finally recovered from the loss of control. He completely dispelled the various evil thoughts generated by the illusion and finally restored the state of meditation.
Chen Rui had a kind of realization in his heart. In those illusions just now, there were all kinds of magnified desires such as fierceness, fear, greed, lust, etc., which were all kinds of distracting thoughts hidden in the bottom of his heart. As described by the Earth Elemental King and Paglio, he had now truly entered the "entry" level of mind cultivation. After reaching this level and entering meditation, the distracting thoughts in the bottom of his heart would appear in the form of illusions. He must stick to himself in order to break through the illusion.
Chen Rui thought of the description of this illusion in the original world. An idea flashed across his mind, inner demon! That's right, this is the inner demon.
[Refined Mind] is to defeat the inner demon. Originally, this requires a lot of spirit accumulation and practice. When the heart and strength reach a certain level, the inner demon will appear. However, Chen Rui, who swallowed the Demon Overlord-level consciousness, only had more "strength". The key was to see how the heart could keep up.
Today, he relied on the Nirvana's Flame to pass by luck. As the heart and strength grew at the same time, the power of the inner demon would also be greatly enhanced. At this level, unless it was a specific period, otherwise, the training in the training ground was not very useful. The real training and [Refined Mind] were in life.
Only by experiencing life and truly understanding the power of the "heart" could one truly achieve transformation and sublimation. However, if he left the training ground, time would become tighter.
Chen Rui left the training ground and came to the Galaxy Divinity Temple. On the progress chart, the progress of Star Conversion had reached 20%. The color of the scale had changed. It seemed to have reached a small stage. My strength really feels a lot stronger, but the inner demon later will become stronger and stronger. The test of [Refined Mind] has just begun.
After waking up, Chen Rui felt refreshed. Sure enough, the discomfort of the past few days was swept away. He immediately walked out of the room.
"How is it?" Athena was the only person in the Dark Moon City who knew the real situation of Chen Rui. Initially, he stayed in the room for the past few days, so she was worried. Now that she saw him coming out, she quickly greeted him.
Chen Rui hadn't seen Athena for hundreds of days in training. Seeing her concerned look, his heart warmed. He held her hand, "I'm fine for the time being. Thank you for your protection."
Athena wanted to say that she was welcome, but she was very happy in her heart. She just said "en" softly.
"Come, help me put this on for you." Chen Rui took out the "Evil Blue Tear" and pretended to help her put it on, but he mischievously kissed her earlobe. This place was one of the most sensitive parts of Athena. Her brain suddenly felt numb, and she fell into his arms softly.
At this time, there were footsteps. It seemed to be the imp's servant. Athena suddenly woke up and escaped from his wolf claws like lightning. She even knocked the dishonest hand on the way.
Sure enough, Slee came in with a basin of food. It seemed that he was going to deliver food to Athena. He found that his master who had been in seclusion for many days was also there. As he was about to compliment him, he saw his master's unfriendly eyes glancing over.
The imp shuddered and quickly glanced at Athena. He was keenly aware of the redness on her beautiful face. He showed a look of realization. While he admired his master from the bottom of his heart, he scolded himself for stupidly choosing the time to deliver food. He actually ruined his master's plan.
Forget about his master, Ms. Athena was a Higher Demon. (The imp's strength was too low. Even without the necklace, he couldn't detect Athena's true strength.) If he was embarrassed and had the thought of killing her …
"Ah! My eyes suddenly hurt! Did the Blinding Potion take effect again? " The quick-witted imp quickly put down the food plate, then he covered his eyes and screamed exaggeratedly. He staggered back, but he accidentally hit the wall. Ouch, he couldn't care less about the blinding effect, and he ran as fast as he could.
The laughter brought by this episode made Athena's shyness fade a little. Chen Rui didn't tease her anymore and said, "You must be bored here these days. Let's eat something together and then go out for a walk. You haven't seen Alice for a long time right?"
Athena's eyes lit up and nodded quickly.
