Chapter 1147 The Road to Immortality
Curses don't lie.
They are like wild beasts that retain their most primitive instincts. Only real desires can drive them. They are pure and unabashed. If you want, you just want, and if you don't, you just don't want.
However, most beasts do not have the ability to think and will not consider the pros and cons, but Lin Mo does, and he will consider it.
No matter how much he wanted to swallow this black fleshy grape, Lin Mo never really did it. Who knows what would happen if he swallowed this thing?
Thinking of the weird and deformed appearance of 'Master', he might have eaten this thing.
Lin Mo decided to do some research first.
After pulling out the nails on Cheng Yingru's head, the guy woke up again.
Lin Mo shook the black flesh grape in his hand in front of the other person's eyes and asked if this thing was a 'ghost pill'.
Cheng Yingru took a look and said yes.
"Where did you get that?"
Before Lin Mo could answer, Cheng Yingru reacted and asked if the 'master' had been here.
Lin Mo nodded.
"He didn't notice you?" Cheng Yingru was surprised.
Lin Mo smiled and said this was nonsense.
"You are very strong!" Cheng Yingru had strong envy in his eyes.
It is convinced now. Before the opponent pulled out the nail completely, he was no longer an opponent even with the power of ghosts and immortals. From that moment on, it knew it had to give in, otherwise it might be beaten to death by the opponent.
After I was convinced, I became much more honest and not as unruly as before.
Ask and say whatever you want.
The black fleshy grapes are ghost pills.
Cheng Yingru said that ghost immortals like them rely on human-eating pills to improve themselves, and after reaching a certain level, they have to take ghost pills.
Also, the previous ‘master’ was not Mr. Chunfeng.
"Mr. Chunfeng has reached a higher level, but I know that he has not become an immortal. The master you saw is a disciple of Mr. Chunfeng, named Ge Xu, a master of Yuanying."
Lin Mo suddenly realized that he also felt that the 'master' was not like Mr. Chunfeng, but based on this situation, Mr. Chunfeng was probably stronger.
Now, if I face that Ge Xu, my chance of winning may be only 40%. If I face Mr. Chunfeng, there is a high probability that I will not be my opponent.
You still have to think of ways to improve your strength.
This is normal. After all, Mr. Chunfeng has lived for at least four hundred years. Even if a pig has been cultivating for four hundred years, that is nothing.
Lin Mo asked, "Nascent Soul, is it the deformed child growing out of the other person's neck and chest?"
"Yes, that is Nascent Soul."
When Cheng Yingru spoke, he looked envious.
Then he told Lin Mo a real situation about cultivating immortals. This reality was terrifying just to hear it.
He is different from Lin Mo.
Lin Mo believed from the beginning that cultivating immortals was a lie. There were no immortals in the world, and it was impossible to succeed in cultivation. It was purely an unrealistic fantasy of a mentally ill person; but Cheng Yingru had a different point of view. He said Cultivation to immortality is real, but it is not as beautiful as people know. The reality is very cruel and terrifying.
As for things like "The Theory of the Great Dao", the two people have the same view, that is, this thing is purely a lie and a deception.
"The Great Theory can only allow ordinary people to cultivate human elixirs. This is not the path to immortality, but to making people become food."
"Real cultivation of immortality means killing, devouring, seizing other people's souls, and strengthening oneself. There is no such thing as a pure heart and no desire, and there is no such thing as natural Taoism. These are all nonsense. The human elixir is not something you are born with, that is It requires some foundation and practice, so cultivating human elixirs is like raising pigs, and the elixirs are like fattening meat, and you have to be stabbed."
"When you eat enough human elixir, you will become a ghost fairy like us, and you can condense the ghost elixir. This thing is for Nascent Soul monks to eat, and it can strengthen the Nascent Soul."
"Wait a minute..." Lin Mo had some thoughts after hearing this, and said that in the end, does someone like Mr. Chunfeng have to eat Nascent Soul to become an immortal?
"That's right!" Cheng Yingru said that he decided to run away after he figured out the truth about this cultivator. He didn't want to be slaughtered like a pig, especially if he couldn't be slaughtered even once and had to be slaughtered repeatedly. The pain would be even worse if he had to die. It’s ten times more uncomfortable, a hundred times more uncomfortable.
"So I want to escape. Please take me away. If you stay here, you will not be able to escape your misfortune in the end. Even if you are not afraid of Yuanying old monster Ge Xu, you are definitely no match for Mr. Chunfeng. He has already eaten a lot of Yuanying." , maybe only one step away from becoming a true immortal."
Lin Mo became thoughtful after listening.
He still had to think about it carefully. After all, he couldn't be sure that what Cheng Yingru said was true.
What if this thing is a scam?
After Lin Mo pondered for a moment, he asked if there were any other side effects after taking the human elixir, apart from the increase in strength, and after taking the ghost elixir.
"side effect?"
Cheng Yingru didn't know why. He obviously hadn't considered this issue at all.
Lin Mo changed the question.
"Do you know where Mr. Chunfeng is?"
"I don't know. I advise you not to look for him. Looking for him is the same as looking for death. Don't think it's great if you can beat me. I'm just a weakling here. Mr. Chunfeng is a lot better than me. Ten thousand times."
Lin Mo said that you can just say whatever I ask you, and stop talking nonsense, otherwise I will beat you.
"Do you know Lin Yuan?" Lin Mo asked.
Just asking tentatively, in case I know.
I didn't have much hope at first, but when Cheng Yingru heard this, he actually nodded.
"I know, he is Mr. Chunfeng's close disciple."
"Do you know where he is?" Lin Mo asked immediately, his tone a little anxious.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him, I just heard about him."
Now that he had asked everything that needed to be asked, Cheng Yingru only knew so much, and he couldn't find anything more if he asked again.
"Just take a rest. I'll come back to you if I need anything."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he pressed the iron nail completely into the opponent's head. This had the same effect as pressing the shutdown button on a computer. Cheng Yingru, who was still lively before, instantly closed his eyes and became motionless.
After making sure that there was no one outside the hall, Lin Mo quietly went out.
After returning, he began to study the black ghost elixir he had retrieved.
Lin Mo is a real researcher. Even if he is not from a major, he has become a big boss unknowingly after spending a long time with big guys like Professor Xie, Academician Chen, Professor Green and Professor Wolf. .
Even without professional research tools, Lin Mo still completed the decomposition and testing of the ghost elixir.
Before dawn, Lin Mo stared at the ghost elixir that was broken down into seven or eight parts on the stone slab, including the outer membrane, black fleshy fibers, small internal blood vessels, black mucus in the blood vessels, the golden inner membrane at the core, and the golden inner membrane wrapped in it. Mucus, four fluffy pieces of flesh, and a long worm that was still alive.
These are the components of the ghost elixir.
To complete this kind of decomposition, you need to have strong knowledge of anatomy, as well as good enough tools and techniques.
Because if you make a mistake, the test object will be destroyed.
Fortunately, Lin Mo could complete the entire dissection and decomposition process relatively easily after using his mental power.
This ability surpassed Professor Xie and Academician Chen, as well as Professor Green and Professor Wolf. They all expressed great envy of Lin Mo's ability.
In Lin Mo's view, the 'Ghost Pill' itself is a deformed organ, and according to Cheng Yingru, Mr. Chunfeng's path to immortality was carried out in the three steps of devouring the human pill, the ghost pill and the Nascent Soul. .
Based on a scientific way of thinking, if immortality is regarded as a qualitative change resulting from the continuous accumulation of quantitative changes, then there must be key 'variables' in it.
It may be one, or it may be multiple.
How to verify is a systematic work. If it were in the laboratory, Lin Mo would choose to use various reagents and in vivo experiments to conduct separate studies on these tissues.
But there is no laboratory here, let alone professional equipment and reagents.
Then we can only use a simpler and more direct method.
"First determine which organizations are useful and which are useless."
Lin Mo muttered.
He doesn't have the reagent, but he has the curse.
The glutton's curse doesn't work. This curse can trigger its desire for just a piece of meat. The vampire's curse doesn't work either. Only the gourmet curse has an effect at this time.
Lin Mo brought these tissue parts in the ghost pill to his nose and smelled them. The gourmet curse is very picky. If it can trigger the gourmet's fishing net, it means that the corresponding tissue part is the real essence of the ghost pill.
So I smelled them one by one.
The outer membrane is unresponsive, not to mention gourmets, even gluttons don’t like it.
The gourmet still didn't react to the black fleshy fiber, the glutton was a little moved, but not strongly, and the vampire was indifferent.
The same goes for those tiny blood vessels, which are similar to black fleshy fibers.
When it came to the black slime, the gourmet still didn't respond, and the glutton actually didn't respond either, but the vampire said it wanted it, really wanted it.
In other words, this black slime is some kind of blood.
Vampires love it.
But what Lin Mo cares about is the reaction of gourmets.
The golden inner membrane at the core has no reaction to gourmets, gluttons, or vampires.
It looked good, but I didn't expect it to be as useless and valuable as the black outer membrane.
Next comes the golden slime.
This stuff is very sticky, like caramel.
Finally, for the first time, the gourmet had some reaction. The glutton didn't seem to like the slime and didn't react. The vampire, on the other hand, liked the curse very much. Even the one with the strongest reaction, Lin Mo had to exert great effort to hold down the curse. The reaction was so strong that I would not eat the mucus the size of a soybean.
There are only two final items left.
Four pieces of flesh with fluff and a living long strange insect.
First test the petal-like meat slices.
Gourmets didn't react, gluttons liked it, vampires didn't.
So Lin Mo picked up the last long strange insect.
This thing is white and looks quite cute if you look closely. If it doesn't move, it looks like a piece of white string.
He put it up to his nose and smelled it.
The gourmets immediately rioted, and Lin Mo barely managed to hold it down; the gluttons were also very excited, like a pervert after seeing a beautiful woman; even the vampire, a guy who likes liquid food, actually got involved, and as a result, Lin Mo was a little passive. Just a little bit uncontrollable.
And when facing this little bug alone, it is even more tempting than holding the finished ghost pill directly before.
Lin Mo understood that the real value and core of the Ghost Pill was this little bug.
No matter how excited the curse was, Lin Mo did not let his temper take over.
Again, he is human.
A smart, thinking person, not a beast full of desires.
"I have to get a personal elixir for comparison!"
Researcher Lin Mo's true nature was revealed at this moment, so much so that the motivation that drove him to do this was no longer anything else, but his own curiosity about this matter.
In other words, curiosity is the biggest motivation.
This is not true at all.
Lin Mo was particularly curious now.
After gathering the things, wrap them in paper, dig a hole and bury them in the soil. Lin Mo started practicing as usual, and then went out for a walk, chatting with fellow disciples and exchanging cultivation experiences.
There are thousands of disciples here, and among them there must be those who have cultivated the 'Human Pill'.
Grab one and get the elixir.
This is not difficult for Lin Mo.
But how to ensure that this matter is not exposed is a headache.
The ghost immortals in the Hundred Immortals Palace couldn't move, and no one reported on the stolen ghost pills.
But if Ren Dan doesn't work, these disciples will report him.
"How about murdering people and silencing them?"
Lin Mo felt that this was not impossible. These thousands of disciples were like thousands of broiler chickens in a chicken coop. There were one more and one less. Who could tell them apart?
It is impossible to count every day, and even if it is discovered, it will take some time.
And this period of time is enough for me to study the essence of cultivating immortals. Even if he is exposed in the end, the worst he can do is fall out and take action.
I have the strength to fight, so why should I be afraid?
"That's it!"
After making up his mind, Lin Mo began to look for targets.
After half a day of observation and selection, he finally selected a disciple.
The other party was not familiar with him. It could be said that he did not know him. Looking at it with the eyes of reality, he was a ferocious and terrifying ghost with a lot of resentment and malice.
At first glance, he looks like an evil spirit who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
Killing it can be regarded as doing justice to heaven and doing a good deed.
According to the disciple ranking, this guy can be ranked twenty-one. The reason why he chose such a high ranking is entirely because Lin Mo is afraid that those low-level disciples will not be able to form human elixirs.
I found an opportunity and made an appointment with the other party in the evening. The location was very remote. Under the false view of the heavenly palace, there was a beautiful mountain peak. But under the real eyes, this place was a cliff. The cliff below was bottomless. When the time came, If people push down, even if they find it, they can only find the body smashed into meat paste. Everyone will think that this is just an accident.
It's simply the perfect place to kill people and steal goods, destroying corpses and eradicating traces.
This guy didn't even know that his life had entered a countdown, so he asked Lin Mo what was going on when he got there.
Lin Mo asked if anyone saw him when he came.
"No, I've always been a loner."
"Does Senior Brother have any agreements with others recently? Or, does Master plan to summon you?"
"Nothing. If you have any questions, just tell me. If you keep nagging me like this, I will leave."
"That's fine if you don't have it!"
Lin Mo smiled, looked around, then walked closer, and stretched out his hand to tear open the other person's chest.
There was such a difference in strength that the other party had no time to react and tried to scream, but Lin Mo casually broke his neck in an instant.
The next step is to find the human pill.
Nothing difficult.
A bunch of fleshy grapes was found in the opponent's chest, near the heart.
Each one is plump and round, looking mature.
Lin Mo took it out and looked at it.
Then he reached out and pushed, and the body fell into the abyss.
The fleshy grapes were filled with blood. After being washed with water, they were clean. They were white with pink inside. Lin Mo hid them in his clothes, then arranged his clothes as if no one was watching, and walked down the mountain in a swaying manner.
