Chapter 373: The Reason for Not Being Able to Cultivate

In the underground secret room, the Taoist priest stared at Ye Suifeng.

"How can a mere mortal like you resist the influence of blood snakes?"

When Ye Suifeng mentioned the hundreds of thousands of Nengdan realms, the Taoist judged that he was definitely not affected by the blood dragon.

Just think about it, it’s impossible!

Hundreds of thousands of Nengdan masters, what kind of existence is that?

Would a person of such power appear in a remote mortal mountain village?

His eyes turned slightly red, and a murderous intent slowly emanated from him.

Seeing this situation, Ye Suifeng didn't plan to pretend anymore.

"Your blood dragon really has no effect on me."

Ye Suifeng smiled and said, "But there wasn't a single lie in the questions I answered."

The Taoist frowned.

"Shut up!"

His eyes were cold: "I already knew you were not simple."

"But didn't your parents teach you to be patient? You have no cultivation skills, yet you dare to come to me alone!"

Ye Suifeng curled his lips.

He really doesn't know how to endure.

"I just wanted to see what you were doing here."

The Taoist grinned, looking a little sinister.

"Then I'll give you a lesson."

"Curiosity can kill you!"

As he spoke, his pupils turned completely blood red.

Several streaks of blood gushed out of his eyes, dancing wildly in the air, and rushed towards Ye Suifeng.

Every line of blood exudes a strong evil aura.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Suifeng was completely enveloped, and then quickly retracted.

However, when the blood line was about to touch Ye Suifeng's body, everything stopped strangely.

The Taoist was terrified and wanted to activate it again.

But when he practiced the technique, he found that even he himself could not move.

A strange force came back from his blood and fixed him firmly in place.

“Before you teach others, think about whether you have learned well.”

Ye Suifeng brushed away the blood lines in the air and stood up.

"Since I was able to come here, how could I not have the means to protect myself?"

He shook his head.

Looking at Ye Suifeng who remained calm throughout, the Taoist showed an expression of disbelief.

A mortal with no cultivation could actually easily counter his blood secret technique.

This was something he couldn't understand at all, it was completely beyond his comprehension.

"Are you conducting some evil research here?"

Ye Suifeng turned around in the secret room several times.

There were bottles and jars filled with different kinds of blood inside, making it look like the research institute of some evil alchemist.

"Tell me about it."

Ye Suifeng turned around and came back, snapping his fingers lightly, and immediately felt his body regain its freedom.

His eyes were gloomy and he really wanted to rush over and beat Ye Suifeng up.

But this young man was so mysterious that he did not dare to act rashly.

"Stop thinking about playing with your half-baked bloody ways."

Ye Suifeng saw what he was thinking and sat down again.

"Let's have a good chat."

"Maybe, you still have a chance to survive."

He made a gesture for me to sit down.

The Taoist's eyes flickered and he hesitated for a long time.

But in the end, I sat down.

Afterwards, he recounted his story in detail.

The Taoist's name was Ji Chao, and he came from a city thousands of miles away from Tanggu Village.

He had longed for the world of cultivators since he was a child, so after he became an adult, he decisively began to practice Yuanshi Gong.

Moreover, he has good talent.

But no matter what kind of skills you use, if you want to become stronger, cultivation resources are essential.

Ji Chao, who came from a poor family, naturally could not afford the expensive resources for cultivation.

He has a lot of talent, but he can only watch other idiots helplessly, leaving himself far behind.

This psychological gap and unwillingness made Ji Chao start looking for another way, and he actually found it.

Blood Dragon Technique.

This is a very difficult path that requires great talent.

But the good thing is that Blood Snake Technique does not require training resources in a broad sense. What it needs is all kinds of blood.

Blood is one of the biggest taboos in the world of cultivation.

Almost everyone is calling for his death.

Ji Chao inevitably fell into such a situation.

But he still did not give up, and hid everywhere with a group of like-minded people, pursuing his own path of cultivation.

This road is destined to be full of ups and downs.

The encirclement and suppression of the righteous path has never stopped.

Last year, Ji Chao was under siege by several sects, so he hid in the mountains.

It is for this reason that the strange village of Tanggu was discovered.

Driven by curiosity, or rather thirst for knowledge, Ji Chao decided to find out what was going on here.

A few days later, he came to a shocking conclusion.

The reason why the people of Tanggu Village are unable to practice cultivation is actually hidden in their blood.

There seemed to be an extremely terrifying curse hidden in their blood, and this curse directly destroyed the path of cultivation for all of them.

After getting this answer, Ji Chao was scared at first.

Anyone who could place such a curse in the blood of an entire ethnic group must be an extremely terrifying existence.

I can't afford to offend such a person.

But just as he was about to escape, an idea came to his mind.

The Blood Curse Seal can be called a divine object!

If I could completely crack it, then my skills in blood curse would definitely be raised to a higher level.

By then, why would he still worry about the righteous encirclement and suppression?

Once this thought arises, it cannot be stopped from expanding.

Therefore, Ji Chao made up his mind and decided to stay and thoroughly explore the curse.

He was feeling lucky, thinking that perhaps the person who cast the blood curse had already forgotten about Tanggu Village and would never come back.

After making the decision, Ji Chao thought of a solution.

He deliberately angered the fish monster in the nearby river and lured it to Tanggu Village, then he appeared on the scene himself and staged a drama of turning the tide and saving the village.

After successfully gaining the trust of Tanggu Village, he settled down here.

When teaching the young people in the village, he would occasionally keep some of their blood to carry out his own plan to break the blood curse.

After listening to Ji Chao's narration, Ye Suifeng pondered inwardly.

Is it true that the reason why the people of Tanggu Village are unable to practice cultivation is because they have been cursed with blood?

This is a practice that will cut off the future generations.

Who is so cruel!

How much hatred?

Ye Suifeng shook his head. This man was really a little crazy.

"I didn't hurt anyone in the village."

Ji Chao continued, "I am also helping them earnestly. The loss of blood has no effect on them at all."

"The reason I practiced blood curses was just to become stronger. I never thought of hurting others!"

He tried to explain.

Ye Suifeng could not deny it.

Yes, the group of young people led by Brother Niwa are all full of energy and there are no problems with them.

But once you set foot on this road, it becomes a bottomless abyss.

No one can guarantee that Ji Chao will still think the same way as he does today after dozens or hundreds of years.

It is difficult to define what is right and what is wrong.

Ye Suifeng skipped the topic.

"How is the research on the curse going now?"

Ji Chao was silent for a moment, then said, "There is already an outline."

"With a few more years, I will definitely be able to crack it completely."

Ye Suifeng nodded.

It's only been a year, and it seems that Ji Chao's talent is indeed good.

"Let me see."

He was also somewhat curious about what kind of curse it was.

Ji Chao was silent again, seeming somewhat reluctant.

But under the invisible pressure from Ye Suifeng, he still chose to compromise.

"Can."

Then, Ji Chao stretched out his hand.

A red curse mark slowly emerged on the palm of his hand.

Just as Ji Chao said, there is only a simple outline, which obviously lacks a lot of details.

Ye Suifeng looked at the curse mark floating in front of him and frowned slightly.

Why does this thing look familiar?

It looks like I've seen it somewhere before?

He thought carefully, trying to find clues about the curse in his memory.

After a while, Ye Suifeng was startled and his eyes widened like copper bells.

"This is..."

"Isn't it just the curse I made myself?"
