Chapter 29 Shapeshifting
Although this person's attack was ruthless and fierce, Ning Daoran had already been prepared mentally. At the moment when the other party drew his sword, the Qiu Shui Sword had also been unsheathed, and the tip of the sword collided lightly with the tip of the other party's sword.
"Bang!"
A dull sound was heard and the opponent's soft sword bounced away instantly.
"you?"
The thin man was shocked. As soon as he came into contact with him, he knew that the other party's magical power was far stronger than his.
Ning Daoran bent his body and leaped up from the green bamboo leaves like an arrow, breaking through the wind with a punch.
The close combat method used by martial artists.
The thin man was so frightened that he couldn't remember any magic or spell and tried to dodge.
But there was no way he could dodge. With just one punch, his head exploded.
…
Ning Daoran quickly touched the corpse in mid-air, searched the soul, and then shot out a fireball to burn it into ashes.
The soul-searching results were not too surprising.
This man's name is Chen Huaiyi, a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage. He hides in the Huanglong Market and profits in various ways, constantly consolidating the foundation of his cultivation.
His current identity is a waiter in a brothel called "Wanhua Tower" in the market town. Who would have thought that a great cultivator in the late stage of Qi training would be willing to serve those pot-bellied guests in a brothel.
But it has always been like this in the world of immortal cultivation. Never judge a person by his appearance, otherwise it will easily get into trouble.
Ning Daoran learned from the soul search that this person had some friendship with Fatty Wang, and even knew exactly what he said to Fatty Wang before the action.
In this way, if Chen Huaiyi suddenly disappeared, Fatty Wang would naturally guess that it was related to him! Fatty Wang could even guess that he had hidden his strength. On the surface, he was a harmless middle-stage Qi Refining cultivator, but in fact, he could easily kill a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!
This would be bad and would be a huge safety hazard.
Therefore, Ning Daoran decided to return to Huanglongfang City to eliminate this hidden danger.
Black market, butcher shop.
Ning Daoran left and came back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking like he hadn't experienced anything.
A trace of surprise flashed across Fatty Wang's face, and then he put on his signature smile: "Why are you back again, little friend? Do you want to buy some other low-level demon meat?"
"boss."
Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "I have a business deal and would like to discuss it with you in the inner room. Is it convenient?"
"Sure, sure!"
Fatty Wang was quite straightforward, probably because he felt that he had not let Ning Daoran down, so he went straight into the inner room.
After Ning Daoran entered the inner room, he immediately searched the soul! This search was quite exciting.
No one knew what was in Fatty Wang's head. When Ning Daoran's consciousness penetrated into his mind, all he saw were scenes of Fatty Wang and his eight wives and concubines. It could be said that all kinds of tricks were going on.
"I'm..."
Ning Daoran felt as if a lot of dirty things had entered his brain, and he hurriedly picked out some important things to check.
Apart from the things that happened in bed, the most brilliant thing in Fatty Wang's memory was the partnership with others to purchase the meat of demons, various kinds of robbing each other of their own resources, and escaping death.
In addition, there is one extremely important piece of information. Fatty Wang and his friends jointly raised a white Tai Sui. Yes, it was a living white Tai Sui.
No wonder he has so much Tai Sui meat, it turns out that it was all cut from Bai Tai Sui.
Ning Daoran frowned.
Bai Taisui... was just so-so, not enough to make him want to take the risk.
So, he quickly erased Fatty Wang's memory of Chen Huaiyi and himself coming here today, and even in order to ensure that there was no deviation in the quantity of Tai Sui meat and spirit stones, he recreated the memory of a bald warrior coming to buy Tai Sui meat.
After the soul search was over, Ning Daoran left silently through the back door.
Fatty Wang woke up from the bed in the inner room and touched his forehead: "How did I fall asleep? It seems that I am really old. I must not do things like having sex with seven women at night in the future..."
As he said this, he slowly stood up and walked towards the butcher's stall with a smile on his face: "Keep working, earn more gold, silver and spirit stones, there are still a group of fat boys at home waiting to be supported~~~"
…
No. 77 Lingtian Courtyard.
In a secret room twenty feet deep, Ning Daoran began to count the treasures given by Chen Huaiyi.
The soft sword was a first-grade, low-grade magical weapon. It was relatively sharp, but lacked in spiritual energy and had some damage in the middle. It was more convenient for sudden attacks, but rather useless in real combat.
Ning Daoran put it aside. It was worth only about eighty spirit stones.
The other is Chen Huaiyi's flying magic weapon, a mid-grade first-grade one, similar to Qing Zhuye, and with some flaws. If Ning Daoran didn't wait, he really wouldn't be able to catch up with Qing Zhuye.
In addition, Chen Huaiyi had more than 300 low-grade spirit stones on him, which was all the belongings of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
Ning Daoran felt a little sad. They were too poor. The life of low-level cultivators in this world of immortal cultivation was so tight. How could it not be heartbreaking? At this time, he picked up a piece of rusty gold arm guard.
This arm guard was stripped off from Chen Huaiyi's arm. It is not a magic weapon, but it is embroidered with golden borders and looks quite luxurious.
However, just as he was holding the arm guard in his hand and studying it carefully, the panel of the Plant and Tree Holy Spirit system suddenly flashed, and it was actually trying to enter a technique! [Shape-changing Technique Part 1. Earth Rank Upper Grade (Not yet entered), Spirit Beast Secrets cannot be entered]
…
"ah?!"
Ning Daoran was shocked instantly.
There is actually a martial art hidden in this arm guard, and it is the key to spiritual beasts?
And...it's a top-grade Earth Grade?
His mind went blank. The best skill he had mastered was the Soul Searching Technique, but that was only at the lower level of the Mystical Rank? The Shape-Change Technique was nearly two realms higher than the Soul Searching Technique!
Take off the arm guard! He raised his hand and took out the broken porcelain piece, and used the sharp edge of the broken porcelain piece to slowly scrape open the stitching on the edge of the arm guard. Sure enough, when the arm guard was taken apart, there was actually a glowing book of spiritual beast secrets called the Shape-changing Technique.
In addition to the shape-changing technique, there were also three glowing and spiritual drawings.
The basic diagram of the monster's form.
There are three pictures in total, namely the turtle-shaped, leopard-shaped and bear-shaped basic pictures.
These things... are quite unfamiliar to Ning Daoran.
He frowned. According to the memory of Chen Huaiyi's soul search, he learned that the arm guard was stolen from a guest of Wanhua Tower.
At that time, the customer asked four prostitutes to come into the room to learn from each other. Their clothes were placed at the door and were stolen by Chen Huaiyi.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The secret of the top-grade earth-level spirit beast, plus three basic diagrams of the demon form, were lost together. The customer must be very anxious...
"hey-hey!"
He couldn't help but grin.
The big stupid deer had already mastered the art of strengthening himself, and was just worrying about not having the secrets of spiritual beasts to continue practicing. But then this secret was delivered to his doorstep, and he began to study the spiritual beast techniques recorded in the shape-changing art.
This is a book that records the unique skill of "changing shape", which can be used for various spirit beasts to practice. However, it has extremely high requirements on the bloodline of the spirit beast, which must be above average.
I don’t know what the bloodline of the big stupid deer is like.
Ning Daoran frowned. Ever since he knew that the big stupid deer was a white deer, he felt that this old deer probably also had a secret, but it itself didn't know it.
Never mind, let it practice first.
"Old deer, come down!"
After a low roar, the big stupid deer jumped down from the ground.
"You must practice this technique carefully and remember to keep it secret. You can only practice this technique underground and never show it to others easily, lest you bring about a fatal disaster."
Ning Daoran's mind was as clear as a mirror. This kind of top-grade earth-level martial arts must be a treasure.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there has always been a saying about Dharma, wealth, companion and land, or wealth, Dharma, companion and land, which shows the importance of cultivation methods.
Chen Huaiyi is just a servant in the late stage of Qi Refining, while the guest who carries the shape-changing skill could be the big boss.
Therefore, the practice of the Shape-changing Technique must be kept secret, so as not to bring about a fatal disaster! As for releasing the Shape-changing Technique to avoid trouble and diverting the trouble to others, Ning Daoran would naturally not do such a thing.
Since you got it by chance, it is a gift from heaven. If you don't take what heaven gives you, then what's the point of practicing Taoism?
The big stupid deer began to practice the art of shapeshifting.
Ning Daoran continued to practice the Body Tempering Technique and the Evergreen Technique, slowly improving his cultivation.
…
A few months later.
In the underground secret room, the big stupid deer let out a loud cry. After several months of practice, he finally mastered the art of shape-changing!
Along with the "crackling" sound of bones popping, the body of the big stupid deer slowly deformed, becoming much smaller, its head drooping, its neck becoming shorter, and even spots and patterns appeared on its body.
Leopard form, small success! Ning Daoran held the Leopard form diagram in his hand and grinned, "Not bad, you have achieved this in just a few months, Old Deer, I think your cultivation talent and understanding are better than mine!"
“Ah~~~”
The big stupid deer, who transformed into a leopard, jumped onto the table and rubbed its head against Ning Daoran's arm, indicating that his comprehension was just average and could not be compared with his elder brother who could easily practice the skills to return to the original state.
"It's good that you know it. Since there is a gap between you and a genius like me, you should practice harder."
Ning Daoran closed the refined time system without changing his expression.
He looked at the big stupid deer with an admiring look on his face and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
…
The next day, early morning.
On the ridge of the field on Qiongbi Peak, a group of farmers were chatting.
"Something big happened in Huanglongfang Market last night."
Ma Quanyou's face looked solemn.
"Oh, what a big deal is it that makes you, Old Ma, so worried?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you don't know."
Ma Quanyou took a deep breath and said, "Just last night, the most famous brothel in Huanglongfang City, Wanhualou, was wiped out. More than 60 charming and beautiful young ladies were all killed! It is said that even the brothel owner, the madams, the servants, etc. were all killed without a single one left alive. The means were extremely cruel, and even the thugs in the middle stage of Qi Refining were killed."
"There is such a thing..."
Huang Shan frowned: "Who wants to destroy a brothel?"
Ning Daoran didn't say anything, feeling a little heavy-hearted. This matter was most likely related to the first chapter of the Shape-changing Technique! (End of this chapter)
