Chapter 228 Request, Nine Changes of Heaven, Feng Jiangjun Temple
"So this is the blessing from the Heavenly Lord?"
Chen Yushu was stunned, but he quickly remembered the tempting words the two men had said to him before. They said that they could give him the blessing of the Heavenly Lord, enhance his martial arts talent, and improve his physical strength.
Moreover, the strength displayed by Tian Yong at that time was indeed not like that of an ordinary cultivator who practiced Yin-type body cultivation.
With only two incense sticks of cultivation, the combat capability he displayed was almost comparable to that of a top three incense sticks cultivator.
At that time, he was still wondering, and felt that if he had the chance in the future, he really wanted to see for himself what kind of mysterious magic this blessing from the Heavenly Venerable was.
I never thought that this spell, although seemingly magical, is actually so cruel.
Once you are under the spell, although you can gain certain benefits in the short term, it is almost equivalent to selling yourself to the evil god. Even after death, you cannot escape and will turn into a ghost to serve others.
It is true that the best filial piety technique in the world is also the best evil technique in the world.
“That’s right.
Those who don’t know may think that this is some wonderful spell that will bring huge benefits to them.
Those who know about it will stay away from it, fearing even the slightest bit of contamination.
Fortunately, once this kind of spell is cast, you must accept it voluntarily in order for it to be effective.
Otherwise, the spell will not be successful."
Mo Xuan nodded and said.
Chen Yushu nodded and understood.
This spell is actually similar to his psychic seal.
In fact, it is also through some kind of spiritual means to control and manage ghosts.
It’s just that his spiritual seal is more domineering.
Even if they are unwilling to surrender, they can be forced to recognize the master.
Just like the red-haired corpse king, Chen Yushu had originally given up hope of turning him into a contracted spirit. At that time, the other party only needed to withstand the control power of the spiritual seal to break free.
As a result, he succeeded in completing the contract and turned it into a contracted spirit.
So much so that he himself felt a little surprised and delighted.
"So, Mr. Chen, what are you going to do?"
Yan Xu then spoke and asked.
He understood the meaning of Chen Yushu's words just now.
Since the people from the Evil God Cult have set their sights on Chen Yushu and are directly attacking him, given their pride, it is certainly impossible for them to do nothing.
There must be revenge.
And they happened to be under the threat of the Evil God Cult, so they would naturally be very happy if Chen Yushu could help them.
"As the local tyrants of Qinghe County, I believe you should have a certain understanding of the Evil God Cult's strongholds in Qinghe County, as well as the strength of the experts there.
I need you to help me find out more about this information."
Chen Yushu didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
“That’s no problem.
In fact, even if you didn't mention it, we recently received a notice regarding this and were asked to investigate various situations related to the Evil God Cult."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan nodded in response.
Chen Yushu's eyes flashed, and he quickly thought that it should be Zhou Qing, the Xuanwu Taoist from the Yin-Zhen Division.
Without asking too many questions, he continued, "Also, I've recently become quite interested in knowledge related to formations. I wonder if either of you has any books on this subject at home.
I am willing to exchange the evil spirit's essence.
Of course, if the formation book is precious enough.
Then I can also provide the Life Force Essence."
Chen Yushu is still looking forward to improving his reading level.
And now, the only books that can help him improve his reading experience quickly are those that briefly explain the great principles of heaven and earth.
He had thought about exchanging some from the Zhenyinsi before.
But the Mo family and the Yan family are both old-established Yin-walking families in Qinghe County. They have produced great Yin-walking people above the level of entering the Dao realm in the past. Perhaps they have corresponding books, so he couldn't help but speak and ask.
“Life-giving spirit fluid?
But what about the Life-giving Spiritual Fluid that can help Three Incense Sticks monks and increase their chances of attaining Dao?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan's eyes lit up and his breathing immediately became rapid.
Yan Xu on the side also widened his eyes, his eyes full of excitement.
The vital essence is extremely precious.
Only cultivators who have reached the Dao Entry Realm or above can extract the special spiritual liquid from the essence of evil spirits.
Once used, it can protect one's own vitality and greatly increase the chances of a cultivator surviving the fire.
It is said that a bottle of vitality liquid can increase the breakthrough probability of a cultivator with three incense sticks of cultivation by at least 10 to 20%.
Don’t underestimate the probability of 10% or 20%.
But this is already rare for many monks who practice the Yin-walking method.
There will definitely be people who are willing to pay a huge price for this.
And they, too.
"Exactly!"
Chen Yushu just nodded confidently.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. I will definitely send you the corresponding formation book as soon as possible."
Almost instantly, Yan Xu's face showed emotion, and he spoke quickly.
"Me too.
Our Mo family once had a formation master, though he wasn't particularly skilled. The notes on formations he left behind have been hidden in our Mo family's Sutra Library. I'll find them for you as well."
Mo Xuan, who was standing by, also quickly spoke.
Everyone was very excited.
Life-giving spirit.
This is the vital essence.
As monks with the cultivation level of three incense sticks, they knew very well how precious this treasure was.
There is a price but no demand!
Now that they have the chance to get it, they certainly can't give up.
Of course, while they agreed, they did not forget Chen Yushu's instructions and expressed that they would investigate the information about the Evil God Cult's stronghold as soon as possible.
After watching the two of them leave, Chen Yushu immediately came to the yard, placed all the bronze mirrors that had just been decided yesterday in their proper positions, and then began to practice the Nine Transformations into Yang Technique.
"really.
A formation, combined with the bronze mirror's light-gathering and sun-gathering effects.
The efficiency of my practice of the Nine Transformations of Yang Technique has been increased by more than double compared to the original level.
The true light of the sun is constantly being gathered towards me, and I don’t even need to search for it or gather it like before.
He easily captured enough energy for cultivation, then, after nine rounds of hammering and tempering, absorbed it into his body."
Chen Yushu felt the heat in his soul, and the warm state that cleansed almost his entire body, and he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
He could feel that his strength was getting stronger.
This kind of strengthening is not rapid, but it is steady and upward.
Especially his soul, which gradually made him feel stable, and even made him feel that it was difficult to be shaken by the general bewitching wind.
"When the Nine Transformations to Yang Technique is practiced to the final stage, the cultivator's soul can completely shed its Yin energy and transform into a pure Yang soul.
Although I am still far away from that level now.
But I can already feel the huge difference between my soul and ordinary ghosts."
Chen Yushu felt that the soul in his body was naturally close to the sun outside, as if the real light of the sun outside could not cause much harm to his soul.
"Be able to endure the baptism of the true light of the sun.
This is an ability that only those in the Sun Travel Realm can possess."
Chen Yushu was a little confused, and of course he didn't dare to release his soul to feel the sun's rays.
But he knew that under the sun, there was not only the true light of the sun, but also all kinds of mysterious energy of heaven and earth.
One's own soul may be able to withstand the exposure to the sun's true light, but facing the various mysterious "qi" in the world, it is difficult to resist.
Not to mention, the omnipresent 'wind' in the air.
It poses a great threat to his soul.
Perhaps it would only take a few breaths to annihilate his soul.
This kind of situation has not happened before.
Among the cultivators who practice Yin-walking, there will be cultivators who have entered the Dao realm almost every once in a while. Because they release their souls during the day, or because they are in a sudden impulse, their souls leave their bodies and wander around. As a result, because they do not return in time, their souls are shattered or even annihilated, leaving only the physical body.
Once the soul dies, it means that the cultivator himself has fallen.
As for the physical body.
Although it can still maintain "warmth" for a few days, that is just the instinctive continuation of the body's functions. It is just a mass of "dead meat". After a long time, without eating for a long time, the body will naturally decay and die, and there will be no life at all.
"Be careful and cautious, and you will survive longer in this dangerous world."
Chen Yushu sighed in his heart.
He fell into cultivation again.
It seemed as if he was afraid that Chen Yushu would go back on his word.
In the afternoon, Mo Xuan and Yan Xu came to visit again.
When they came over, they also brought with them the books on formations stored in their families.
Among them, what the Mo family gave was a "Mo Family Formation Art" and a book of Mo Ting's notes.
Mo Ting is the ancestor of the Mo family, a cultivator who is quite proficient in the art of formations. Mo Ting's notes contain detailed information and insights on many aspects of formations.
It was indeed a great help to Chen Yushu.
The Yan family, on the other hand, inherited a book called "Nine Changes of Heaven".
According to Yan Xu, this volume of Tianyan Jiubian was obtained by his grandfather by accident.
However, although this book on formations fell into the hands of their Yan family, no one could understand it, let alone comprehend its contents and become a formation master.
However, precisely because of this, the Yan family was also very aware of the brilliance of the array inheritance at this moment, and directly took it as the foundation of their own family.
If the vitality liquid wasn't so tempting, he would never have leaked it out so easily.
Even Mo Xuan of the Mo family widened his eyes when he heard about the "Nine Changes of Heaven".
Because they had never heard of anyone in the Yan family making any contributions to the art of formations, and they had never known that the Yan family had the Nine Changes of Heaven.
"Thank you, fellow Daoists. I have accepted these two volumes of formation manuals.
In addition, this is the Life Spirit Liquid, please accept it, fellow Taoists!"
Chen Yushu flipped through the book briefly. Although the name of the Mo Family Formation Book was ordinary, it was a book on formation that had been passed down in an orderly manner. Combined with the "Mo Ting Notes", he was confident that he could greatly improve his formation skills in a short period of time.
Of course, the most important thing was that he saw the increase in reading skill experience on the attribute panel.
He only looked at it for a dozen breaths.
It directly increases the reading skill by four or five points.
In other words, this set of formation books is very useful to him.
Then he looked at "Nine Changes of Heaven", and he could clearly feel that this book on formations was more advanced, but it was very obscure to understand.
It took him more than thirty breaths to finally understand a little bit.
But it was this one point that directly raised his reading experience to seven or eight points.
Judging from the efficiency of improving reading experience, there is not much difference between the two.
But there is no doubt that "Nine Changes of Heaven" is more profound. It is a high-level formation book that can be read for a long time and requires a lot of time to understand.
So, he directly took out two bottles of vitality liquid and gave them to the two of them.
This life-giving liquid was extracted by him when he was bored.
Since he had already been promoted to the Dao Entry Realm and no longer needed the Life Spirit Fluid, the evil spirit essence he obtained from killing the evil spirits seemed a bit redundant.
Having reached the Daoist realm, he no longer needs the help of so-called evil spirits to improve his cultivation.
So he simply extracted the vital essence from it.
I didn't expect that it would come in handy at this moment.
"By the way, Master Chen, following your instructions, we conducted investigations this afternoon and have roughly determined that there are two locations within Qinghe County that are suspected to be the bases of the Evil God Cult.
There is another one, which may or may not be.
We can’t jump to conclusions.”
Then, Mo Xuan's expression became serious and he suddenly spoke.
"Um?
Where are those two strongholds?
And that last stronghold, why do you say it might be, or it might not be?"
Chen Yushu perked up and immediately started asking questions.
“Of the two previous strongholds, one was near the dock, and the other was near the West Street residential area.
It is not difficult to find them through clues, and there are not many people from the Evil God Cult left in these two places.
The key is the third one..."
Yan Xu frowned and spoke.
“The third stronghold is in a temple.
It is also the Fengjiangjun Temple with the most popular incense in the entire Qinghe County.
There, someone in our family saw two people from the evil cult enter the temple and did not come out for a long time.
Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but walk in, but he couldn't find any trace of the two people.
Therefore, we also speculate that there should be a stronghold of the Evil God Cult hidden in that area.
It’s just that we haven’t found anything more, so we can’t be sure.”
Mo Xuan spoke immediately afterwards.
"Near the Fengjiangjun Temple?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although that area is bustling with people going there to pray and worship almost every day, the temple is actually an isolated building.
Apart from the temple, there are few buildings around.
If that place is also a stronghold of the Evil God Cult, then its location is very intriguing.
"We suspect that General Feng's Temple is also a stronghold of the Evil God Cult."
Yan Xu concluded.
“However, General Feng is a high-ranking deity of the Wu Kingdom. He has been in charge of Qinghe County for many years and must be well aware of the situation of his own temple.
If the Evil God Cult really regarded that place as a stronghold, it would definitely be impossible for it not to know about it."
Mo Xuan also spoke up, his face serious.
