When Shen Yuan saw the book "The Qi of Heaven and Earth to Melt Evil" for the first time, he made up his mind to get it.
Because this was the first book Shen Yuan had seen about the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Even among the more than 10,000 classics in the Wendao Forum, there are only a few that mention the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Most of them are secret scriptures of the Zhenjiao that require some kind of Qi of Heaven and Earth when practicing.
There are almost no real details about how to obtain the Qi of heaven and earth, how to condense it, etc. Even if it is occasionally mentioned, at most it will only be said that the great cultivators in the Qi training realm can refine the Qi of heaven and earth and use it for themselves.
Shen Yuan suspected that this was because the Imperial Observatory and various sects had deleted and modified the information. They did not want to leak information about the Qi of Heaven and Earth to the outside world.
This may involve some tricks after being promoted to the Qi Training Stage, but Shen Yuan, who knows very little about it now, cannot be sure.
After flipping through the book casually, Shen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
The content of this "Method of Refining the Qi of Heaven and Earth" is not very much. It mainly talks about how to smelt the Qi of Heaven and Earth from some special spiritual objects, minerals, and even blood and flesh sacrifices, and natural spiritual places.
The conditions were quite harsh, especially for spiritual objects related to the Qi of heaven and earth. Shen Yuan had never even heard of spiritual objects like Tai Geng Gold Essence and Burning Sun Stone, let alone looking for them in the early stage of the spiritual energy tide when resources were scarce.
However, this still gave Shen Yuan a very important idea. As long as he could obtain the spiritual objects recorded in the classics, Shen Yuan would have the opportunity to obtain the Qi of heaven and earth and complete the unity of sword and Qi in the Disha Swordsmanship.
For Shen Yuan, who has mastered the Disha sword technique, this is definitely a priceless treasure.
When facing the Turbid Water Dragon before, Shen Yuan already felt that although the Earthly Evil Sword Technique was extremely powerful in attack, it had certain limitations.
After failing to kill the Black Wind Mountain God with one sword a few days ago, Shen Yuan realized that the Earthly Evil Sword Technique could be easily neutralized by the opponent's gods' means using the power of mountains, rivers and streams when facing gods who could use the power of mountains, rivers and streams.
This is just the situation when facing the Black Wind Mountain God who is at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. If one encounters even more powerful mountain gods and earth gods in the future, the Earthly Evil Sword Technique may also fail like when facing the Turbid Water Dragon.
So Shen Yuan began to look for a way to break the impasse.
In fact, the simplest idea is to take Shen Yuan's current Disha swordsmanship to the next level and directly enter the realm of mastery.
The second level's method of controlling the sword with the soul is enough to kill a deity at no problem, let alone a deity who controls the power of mountains, rivers and streams.
But this is still too difficult, at least for Shen Yuan now.
Shen Yuan's practice of the Disha sword technique had already reached a bottleneck. This was not because Shen Yuan himself lacked talent, but because of the limitations of the fake soul itself.
Shen Yuan's creation of a fake soul to practice the Earthly Evil Sword Technique was in itself an act of cheating. Being able to practice the Earthly Evil Sword Technique to the point of glimpse of the basics had already reached the limit.
Unless Shen Yuan immediately refines the fake Yuan Shen into a Yin Shen, the Disha sword technique will never be able to break through to the master level.
In this situation, the only thing Shen Yuan could do was to let the Disha Sword Technique fuse the sword and Qi into one, so that the Disha Sword Technique would have the characteristics of the Qi of heaven and earth to strengthen himself.
If one obtains powerful Qi from heaven and earth, the blessing brought by the unity of sword and Qi can even surpass the improvement of breaking through the realm.
Although the few wisps of morning glow purple energy that Shen Yuan had retained before had a certain blessing effect, the morning glow purple energy was almost the weakest Qi of heaven and earth, and because he had been practicing for a short time, the condensed morning glow purple energy was too scarce and could not achieve the true unity of sword and Qi.
This book of classics now gave Shen Yuan a new opportunity.
After just a cursory look, Shen Yuan was ready to put away "The Qi of Heaven and Earth to Melt Evil Method", but at this moment Shen Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of the contents on the last page and was slightly stunned.
Then, a look of surprise flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes.
Kuang Tianjie controlled the body named Lin Ran and walked out of the inn. His slightly stiff movements attracted many puzzled looks.
However, after taking a few steps, Kuang Tianjie quickly adapted to this weak body and quickly left the street.
At this moment, Kuang Tianjie's eyes were gloomy, and he kept cursing in his heart:
“Damn it, I didn’t expect that a mere cultivator at the Qi Transformation Stage was actually from the Fu Jian Sect.
Once a Fu Jian Sect member practices Fu Fa, he will no longer be able to practice other techniques. Using those magic techniques will have no effect on him at all."
“And after realizing that I had bewitched him into killing another guy, his first thought was to hand me over to the sect?
What a foolish thing it is, forcing me to waste my last chance to control souls and steal spirits.
Now all my trump cards have been used up, and I only have the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword left. I must find a suitable body."
Thinking of this, the figure in white clothes immediately appeared in Kuang Tianjie's mind, and his heart was suddenly filled with regret.
"If I had known that so many problems would arise later, I should have tried to take over that body right away.
With a perfect foundation that has already surpassed the limit, coupled with the divine power of the Earthly Demon and a fairy sword that has not yet awakened, he is simply the most suitable candidate."
He felt full of regret in his heart, but Kuang Tianjie also knew very well that Ah Man was just a mortal at that time, and if he acted rashly he might not be able to completely take down Shen Yuan's body.
Now that he is controlling this body with the soul-controlling and spirit-stealing technique, he can look for an opportunity.
As long as Shen Yuan came into contact with the Blood Sea Ring, Kuang Tianjie was confident that with his powerful soul he would be able to take over Shen Yuan's body.
With greed constantly surging in his heart, Kuang Tianjie, who was walking in the market, suddenly stopped. His pupils suddenly shrank and an expression of infinite surprise emerged on his face.
"It's his breath!"
Kuang Tianjie decisively turned around and walked towards the square, a sinister smile unconsciously appearing on his stiff face.
In the square, in front of Shen Yuan's stall, a cultivator left with a look of regret on his face, shaking his head. On the stall in front of Shen Yuan, there were more than ten medicine bottles neatly placed, and a few large characters were clearly written on a wooden board.
"Dragon Qi and Blood Pill, exchange for talisman paper, spirit brush, or any suitable book or rare item."
When Shen Yuan first started setting up his stall, the name of the Jiaolong Qi and Blood Pill attracted quite a few practitioners who gathered around to watch. They all came forward to see if it was some new type of pill.
But when these practitioners confirmed that it was just an ordinary Qi and Blood Pill, but it was made with the flesh and blood of a dragon in the Qi training realm, all the practitioners immediately turned around and left, not even daring to ask about the price in detail.
The flesh and blood of a third-level dragon can be considered a treasure no matter where it is placed, and refining it into Qi and Blood Pills can no longer be described as a waste of natural resources.
The concentration of Qi and blood in such a Qi and Blood Pill is indeed far beyond that of ordinary pills, and it even contains a trace of dragon power that can transform a person, making it considered a precious pill.
But the problem is that the Qi and Blood Pill is used to lay the foundation for practitioners in the Essence Refining Stage. Even after entering the middle stage of Essence Refining and initially completing the condensation of essence, the effect of the Qi and Blood Pill is no longer significant.
And if you want to get that bit of dragon power, you must take a large amount of dragon qi and blood pills.
Even the noble families in the imperial capital were not rich enough to spend large amounts of the blood and flesh of Qi training dragons to refine basic elixirs for their disciples to strengthen their Qi and blood.
There are quite a few children of large families and Qi Transformation Realm cultivators in the entire Yunfu market, but only a few can afford the Dragon Qi and Blood Pill, not to mention that there is a high probability that they will not be able to use it after buying it.
Looking at the figures leaving with regret, Shen Yuan just felt a headache.
"You can ask the price, maybe I'll agree after some bargaining."
These Dragon Qi and Blood Pills were originally meant for practice. Shen Yuan took them out to set up a stall just to see if there were any classics similar to "The Method of Smelting the Qi of Heaven and Earth" and to collect talisman paper and spirit pens to complete the task of getting started with the way of spirit talismans.
Who would have thought that these practitioners didn't even have the confidence to ask for the price, and Shen Yuan's stall was empty with not even a single person there.
After waiting for a while, just as Shen Yuan was considering whether he should clearly mark the price to lower his demand, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the stall and reached out to pick up a bottle of Jiaolong Qi and Blood Pill.
Shen Yuan raised his eyes and recognized at a glance that the young man in front of him was the Qi Transformation Realm cultivator who had taken away the Blood Sea Ring before.
His heart was shaken, but Shen Yuan's face remained calm.
Kuang Tianjie in front of him opened the bottle of medicine, and the rich energy and blood almost turned into a red smoke, slowly flowing into his body along with his breathing.
"Good Dan!"
Kuang Tianjie couldn't help but admire it, glanced at the content on the wooden sign, and said with a satisfied smile on his face:
"I'll take care of all your pills!"
With the arrival of Kuang Tianjie, Bai Xue, who was originally squatting on the stall and looking around, has now huddled behind Shen Yuan, her little body trembling continuously.
Shen Yuan stretched out his hand to comfort him, and glanced at the Blood Sea Ring on Kuang Tianjie's index finger without leaving a trace. He said in a cold tone:
"What price can you offer?"
Although he asked, Shen Yuan didn't believe that Kuang Tianjie would just happen to come to his stall for a few Jiaolong Qi and Blood Pills.
The Jiaolong Qi and Blood Pill might be considered a good elixir to others, but Kuang Tianjie is an old monster of the demonic path who has survived the period of spiritual energy depletion. Refining human pills is just a piece of cake for them, so how could they possibly be interested in such a pill?
Shen Yuan believed that Kuang Tianjie must have other plans.
"Could it be that he is coming for me?" Such a thought suddenly flashed through Shen Yuan's mind.
Kuang Tianjie unceremoniously took over Lin Ran’s identity and said, “I see you are collecting spiritual paper and spiritual pens, probably to learn how to make spiritual talismans.
I am a disciple of the Cangzhou Fujian Sect and have the most orthodox inheritance of the Fujian Sect. I have all the spiritual paper and spiritual brush you want."
As he spoke, Kuang Tianjie took out a thick stack of spiritual paper from his arms, most of which was bright yellow, and a small amount was purple.
The two spiritual pens in the box slowly opened, and the silver-white hairs at the tips of the pens carried a hint of spiritual glow.
Shen Yuan could tell at a glance that these spiritual papers and spiritual pens were not ordinary things, but compared with the dozen or so bottles of Dragon Qi and Blood Pills, they were still far inferior.
"not enough!"
Kuang Tianjie kept smiling and took out a book called "Spiritual Talismans and Sword Paintings".
"This is the true classic of my Fu Jian Sect. Fellow Daoist, you can take a look at it."
Shen Yuan glanced at the book calmly, and said in the same tone:
"not enough!"
The smile on Kuang Tianjie's face disappeared, and he seemed to be struggling.
After hesitating for a while, Kuang Tianjie slowly took off the blood-colored ring from his right index finger.
"With this Blood Sea Ring, I think it will be enough to pay for all of Daoist Fellow's pills."
As he spoke, Kuang Tianjie handed the Blood Sea Ring in his hand to Shen Yuan.
