Chapter Fifty-One: Transformation and Cultivation of Magical Tools
(Slept in late again, even later now, apologies to everyone!)
Watching his fake dan, stubbornly staying in the five-petaled flower, it seemed to be its stamen, and also like its fruit. Qi Lei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and furrowed his brow, thinking deeply, but still didn't know what kind of rank the "Five-Petaled Flower Demon Palace" was.
In the end, he felt that this demon mansion was too strange and could be either extremely good or extremely bad.
Either extremely good or extremely bad!
"In any case, I've finally advanced to the sixth stage, opened up the Demon Palace, obtained a fake Dan, and can now transform!"
He threw away the witch's ladder and thought of an exciting aspect.
Transformation is not absolute for the demon clan.
Some demons prefer their true form, even if the human body is called a "Dao body", they disdain to imitate it, focusing on cultivating their true form, and can ultimately reach the extreme, becoming a famous demon in one area.
However, Zilei must transform.
He has a human soul, human thoughts, even though he has long regarded himself as a member of the demon tribe, the habits formed since childhood are hard to change, and his longing to become human again is still on his mind day and night.
And in his heart, there were still many things he couldn't let go of.
It sounds simple, but in reality it's not an easy thing to do, especially for the first time, and it can be a real ordeal.
First, the entire body must be shattered, including bones and meridians, even internal organs will be affected. Later, it will slowly condense and recombine. The reorganization of external forms is easy, but the difficulty lies in the connection of meridians, which is almost a thread-by-thread opening.
Some monsters are not familiar with the human body's meridians, and after transforming, they still follow their original form, resulting in an incomplete transformation. Either they retain a pig head or have a fish tail left over, with extremely strange appearances. As soon as they appear in the world, they cause a huge commotion, making people terrified and panicked.
The "guài" character in yōukai is probably derived from this!
However, this won't stump Zile.
In his younger years, he was quite the free spirit, often indulging in romantic trysts and escapades. Despite this, he had received a good education, having extensively studied poetry and literature, as well as being fairly knowledgeable about human anatomy, particularly after becoming an apprentice to Baiyue Dao. He could even project his soul outside of his body, allowing him to delve deeper into the mysteries of human physiology, with every detail etched deeply in his mind.
So, after he transformed, even in the realm of pseudo-Dan, he was exactly the same as humans. Moreover, his demonic aura was extraordinary, presenting a pure white color, without any so-called "dark demonic aura", which gave him an overwhelming advantage.
Boom!
The whole body is full of demonic energy, penetrating into every strand of blood and flesh, making them throb incessantly.
But every twitch of flesh and blood came with a pain like being cut by a knife.
At this moment, in order to transform better, his spirit had to be highly concentrated, and his entire soul was gathered on his body, without reacting to anything outside. At this moment, even if a strong earthquake occurred, destroying his cave, or if an external enemy invaded, destroying the floating island, he would not know or feel anything.
Intense mental concentration comes at the cost of doubled suffering.
He almost fainted!
Fortunately, he had been practicing "Lian Shen Jue" diligently, and the strength of his soul was beyond doubt. He could stay awake at all times.
As time passed, a human body gradually appeared.
He was stark naked, with fair skin, slender figure, bulging muscles, showing both a beautiful physique and a strong and powerful appearance, having the tenderness of a weak scholar and the strength of a martial arts champion.
This is an almost perfect body!
Even if they are of the same sex, once they see each other, they can't help but admire and feel inferior.
"Ah!"
Zi Lei let out a long sigh, suddenly opening his eyes, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Without taking the time to rest, he waved his hand and a mirror made of condensed demon energy appeared before him, perfectly reflecting his transformed body.
He carefully observed his body from top to bottom, and finally nodded in satisfaction, putting his mind at ease.
This body, compared to Qi Lei's in the past, is much more refined and handsome. Although their facial features are 80% similar, their spirit and temperament are completely different. Even if old friends or even Qi Lei's parents saw him, they wouldn't think that Qi Lei had been reborn.
This is great, just what he had planned!
The Zilei of those years has already died, his body was burned into ashes and buried in the chaotic tomb!
Nowadays, Zile has merely resolved the unexplained knot from back then and cut ties with the secular world and humanity.
A powerful demon, how can it be human!
"The shape is very successful, but the veins are a bit of a problem!"
Looking inward for a moment, Qi Lei couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
Human monks, including those who have transformed their bodies into demonic forms, all have their dantian located three inches below the navel. In other words, the false dantian is hidden here. If one is refining their innate magical instruments, they will also be warmed and nourished in this location.
However, Zire is not like this.
That little five-petaled flower is still in the sea of recognition, and the fake cinnabar naturally stays at the center of the flower. However, the little five-petaled flower doesn't know when it grew a curved root that happened to take root three inches below the navel.
It looks like this flower is rooted in the navel and growing in the sea of knowledge.
"Anyway, anyway, after all, there is a foundation here, and false virtue also counts!"
He comforted himself helplessly.
After his transformation was successful, he couldn't go out with a bare body. After some thought, he collected the molted feathers and refined them into a set of feather clothes, which fit him perfectly.
"We have clothes, but we're still short on magical instruments; might as well take this opportunity to refine one!"
He rummaged through the storage bag and took out Kuroki and the sword-shaped gold stone.
After Kuroki was absorbed by the five-petaled flower and lost his wood essence, the demonic energy he emitted gradually decreased, but he still remained exceptionally hard, especially his root system, which was like an eagle's claw, quite in line with his intentions.
"If I were to refine the Black Wood into a claw-like artifact, during battles against enemies, even if I use Eagle Claw Technique, others would think it's just the artifact at work and wouldn't suspect my true identity."
His entire combat strength lies mainly in his eagle claws. If he were to enter human society, once a conflict arises and he uses the Eagle Claw Divine Technique, he would have some reservations. However, with Hei Mu's assistance, he can be completely carefree.
As for the sword-shaped gold and stone, it's much simpler, they must be forged into a sharp sword.
Although he was not good at wielding a sword, the golden stone in the shape of a sword had the sharpness of gold. Refining any law instrument could not bring out its function to the greatest extent, and he also had other thoughts.
The essence of the five elements, he had already obtained three of them. The sword shape was clearly visible in the golden stone, and if it were to be refined further, the five-petaled small flower would play a role again, absorbing the golden essence within. He felt that he might have another breakthrough, directly entering the seventh level of the demon realm.
However, his luck was clearly not so against heaven.
Whether it was the black wood or the sword-shaped gold and stone, the five-petaled flower remained calm as ever, without a single unexpected occurrence.
He vaguely felt that for a very long time, the five-petaled flower would not work, and perhaps only after thoroughly absorbing the essence of water and fire would it come back to life.
