Half a year later.
It was also a stormy night.
It was also on the same rooftop.
The same two people were sitting cross-legged in the same posture.
However, the size and appearance of the two of them had changed a lot.
Although it had only been half a year, Lin Fan had grown half a meter in height.
Not only had he grown taller, but his body had also become more muscular. His appearance had also become more mature and handsome, with a heroic spirit between his brows.
His eyes were shining brightly.
Under the night sky, lightning flashed in his eyes. His divine might was clear, and he looked around complacently.
Although his figure was not as tall as Lei Jun's, his aura was even more powerful and sharp than Lei Jun's.
Because at this time, his cultivation had far surpassed Lei Jun's.
In half a year, he had reached the Great Circle of External Forging, started Internal Forging, and experienced Essence Forging. He was currently at the Small Success Stage of Qi Transformation.
As for Lei Jun, because of Lin Fan's help in Lightning Tempering, his cultivation had also progressed by leaps and bounds. Now, he had reached the Great Circle of Muscle Tempering and was in the process of Internal Forging. As for his friends who were cultivating with him, they were still in the Toughening Skin or Bone Tempering Realm.
Internal Forging and External Forging were different.
The Outer Forging was a cultivation of the physical body.
Internal Forging was more about the cultivation of the internal Qi.
To put it bluntly, it was refining Essence into Qi, refining Qi into Spirit. The so-called Essence Forging was to condense the Qi and blood in the body into Essence Qi. Then, the Essence Qi into Gang was to transform the Essence Qi into Gang Qi. Then, the Gang Qi into Spirit was to condense divine power.
The source of Internal Forging was still Qi and blood.
Whether it was External Forging or Internal Forging, Qi and blood were the foundation.
It was essential.
"Lin Fan, we've already reached the level of Internal Forging. There's no need to continue Lightning Tempering, right?"
Amidst the wind, rain, and thunder, the two sat quietly, waiting for the heavenly thunder.
If this was in Lin Fan's previous life, he would definitely be called an idiot. No one would choose to commit suicide in such a cruel way.
"I want to fill a vacancy in the outer forging, Viscera Training." Lin Fan replied.
"Viscera Training?" Lei Jun was surprised. "I've never heard of it … Lin Fan, do you have any methods?"
"Yes," Lin Fan said. "But it might not be authentic. So, I'll try it first. If I succeed, you can try it too …"
"Tch, Lin Fan, you still don't treat me as a brother," Lei Jun said.
"Brothers should share blessings and hardships together."
"That's fine. If you're not afraid of Qi Deviation, then go ahead and practice it." Lin Fan said as he passed on the Heart Refining Mantra to Lei Jun.
Speaking of the Viscera Training Mantra, Lin Fan actually got it from Fang Qianqiu. It was called "Viscera Training Mantra".
Fang Qianqiu had accidentally obtained it in his early years. Because he didn't know the true origin of the mantra, he didn't dare to practice it and put it aside.
Later, when Lin Fan talked to him about the loopholes in the outer forging, he took it out and gave it to Lin Fan. After Lin Fan took it for reference, he opened the panel to verify it. He found that the mantra was actually displayed on the panel.
Considering that the panel had never had any problems before and was still reliable, he decided to practice it.
The human internal organs were very fragile, but they were also very important.
For example, if any of the five internal organs were damaged, it would be life-threatening. Martial artists were no exception.
Therefore, Viscera Training Mantra was imperative, but it just so happened that the outer forging lacked Viscera Training Mantra.
Therefore, now that he had obtained the "Viscera Training Mantra", Lin Fan felt like he had obtained a treasure. He seized the opportunity to practice it.
The "Viscera Training Mantra" was a breathing method that could be used for both blood and thunder forging. In order to cultivate strong and perfect internal organs, Lin Fan decided to use both methods, blood and thunder forging together.
This breathing method was very simple. After a while, Lei Jun had mastered it. He said excitedly, "That's right. If we want to improve, we should do it together. If we want to die, we will die together.
Hehe … "
"Silly, so silly that it's cute." Lin Fan smiled.
On the roof, Lin Fan began to breathe. His chest swelled like a strange blower. At the same time, he was chanting the mantra …
In the sky, dark clouds were rolling. The huge dark clouds were constantly changing with the wind. The shape of the clouds was like a huge beast. Thunder rolled and lightning flashed from the depths of the dark clouds, like snakes flicking their tongues.
The flashes of lightning converged into one and finally became a huge lightning bolt. It jumped down from the depths of the dark clouds and fell like a waterfall. Finally, it fell on Lin Fan's raised hands.
Lin Fan's eyes widened. His face suddenly turned red. Then, his whole body swelled and his robe exploded.
Lei Jun's face was pale. He reached out and put his hand on Lin Fan's body to help him divert the lightning. In the end, the lightning bolt was completely digested by them.
This time, Lin Fan didn't use the Blood Demon Art.
First of all, the two of them shared the power of the lightning. Moreover, now that they had gone through the outer forging level, besides their internal organs, their skin, flesh, tendons, and bones were very strong. Their resistance to lightning had become very strong.
Small flashes of lightning entered their internal organs and tempered them.
Nothing unexpected happened.
This showed that the "Viscera Training Mantra" was reliable.
After receiving the first bolt of lightning, they didn't leave. After receiving another bolt, they jumped down from the roof.
"Today was a good day. We passed the test and even received two bolts of lightning. Let's go back and take a bath and have a good sleep," Lin Fan said.
"Uh," When it came to sleep, Lei Jun suddenly became panicked, "We really need to have a good sleep. I've had insomnia for several nights.
Tonight, the lightning won't stop. We should be able to sleep well. "
These words sounded like the opposite, but in fact, they hit the nail on the head. Recently, in Qingyang City, they could only sleep soundly on thunderstorm nights.
Lin Fan frowned, his face solemn, "This matter needs to be properly investigated …"
"Hasn't the patrol office been investigating?" Lei Jun said with regret, "I don't see any clues."
"It's not that I want to criticize them, but those constables in the patrol office are all freeloaders. They should have been replaced long ago," Lei Jun said angrily.
"When it comes to investigating and killing ghosts, it's still up to you, Lin Fan."
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and looked at him, "Lei Jun, have you heard that shout?"
"Of course, fortunately I didn't respond at that time. Otherwise, I would have become a walking corpse," Lei Jun said, "I'm afraid of this kind of thing. Without using a knife or a gun, one call can summon your soul away."
"Yes, a martial artist actually fell for it …"
"How many are there already? Just in the city defense army alone, there are already seventeen …"
Lin Fan said, "Okay, let's go. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the county magistrate. I want to investigate this matter personally."
Back home, Lin Fan lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
He thought of the night when he had just transmigrated, lying in the thatched cottage in his hometown in Sanmiao Village, he heard the call in the middle of the night.
The same thing was happening again.
However, it didn't happen to him, but to the people of Qingyang City.
Moreover, the people who were summoned were not only ordinary people, but also the new city defense army soldiers.
In fact, they were the original Black Tiger's disciples.
Moreover, the soul summoning this time was different from the time in Sanmiao Village. At that time, it was only a weak demonic cultivator with a low cultivation base.
This time, although he still didn't know the identity of the other party, he expected it to be a powerful, terrifying, and mysterious existence.
