I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 113 Nine Transformations Yuan Gong
Just as Li Qingyun's consciousness was struggling in the darkness, as if he was in an endless abyss, the gray-white mist in the ancient mysterious palace where he was suddenly rolled violently, and huge tentacles stretched out from it, each following the seven orifices and quickly penetrating into his body.

"call out!"

In an instant, Li Qingyun was suspended in the air by tentacles like a puppet, and his body began to tremble violently.

The tearing pain made his remaining consciousness quickly gather, and he felt a little clearer.

In this fleeting opportunity, he immediately concentrated his mind and used his strong willpower to fight against the violent power in his body.

Immediately afterwards, the tentacles quickly straightened up and pulled violently, pulling out a dark and blurry humanoid monster from Li Qingyun's body.

As soon as the monster left his body, it changed rapidly, and in a moment it took on a body exactly the same as Li Qingyun's.

The two bodies faced each other, their faces and shapes were exactly the same. Li Qingyun saw the "himself" opposite him, as if looking in a mirror, shrouded in darkness, with an evil red light flashing in his eyes and a distorted and hideous expression, as if he was the embodiment of the dark desires and terrifying fears hidden deep in his heart.

The next second, tentacles of various sizes entangled and pulled the monster, dragging it into the gray-white mist inside the temple.

Heart-wrenching screams were heard, sometimes sharp, sometimes low, as if coming from an ancient curse, but they soon died down in the swirling fog, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

The majestic palace was still peaceful and tranquil, as if it had never changed...

As the monster was pulled out of his body, Li Qingyun suddenly felt as if he had sacrificed a large amount of qi and blood and lost some of his true energy, but the out-of-control and violent power in his body also subsided, becoming gentle and pure.

The flesh wings behind him slowly retracted, the tentacles and scales gradually faded away, the strange runes on his body disappeared, and his skin became smooth and healthy again.

Li Qingyun finally got his body under control again. He held on to the armrests of the tall throne and leaned on it with difficulty. He sighed with relief, still feeling scared of the life-threatening experience he had just had.

"What on earth is going on? I have adjusted myself to the best condition, how come I almost lost control?"

He carefully checked the changes in his body to confirm that there were no hidden dangers, while making guesses about what had just happened.

"Could it be that someone has done something to me? Was it a spiritual seed from a spiritual practitioner, a curse from a witch, or some other means?
"If the hidden mysterious palace hadn't suddenly come to my aid, I would have lost control right away and become a monster in the abyss..."

Feeling anxious, Li Qingyun recovered a little strength and began to divine carefully:

"The real reason why I was on the verge of losing control during my practice..."

Soon, a series of mysterious meridian diagrams were projected in front of him...

As all kinds of complex information entered his mind, Li Qingyun immediately realized that the reason he almost went astray while practicing this time was not because of a curse or interference from the outside world, but because of the defects of the Xiantian Wuji Gong itself.

This set of exercises only cultivates the mind and not the body. It only introduces how to condense the innate true Qi, but does not mention how to contain and guide the true Qi. In his haste to achieve quick results, he ultimately caused his weak body to be unable to control the powerful force and he almost lost control.

Upon learning that he was not ambushed by someone, Li Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

This was a very valuable lesson in his journey of cultivation. After the lesson of being on the verge of losing control, he realized that he could not completely trust the cultivation methods in martial arts secrets. Some of these methods were experiences summarized from practice, and some were fabricated and guessed, and they could not all be taken seriously.

No wonder this book "Xiantian Wuji Gong" has no subsequent exercises. Perhaps all the people who practiced according to this book lost control and died... Li Qingyun couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then his heart was filled with doubts again:
I had personally selected this secret book based on the premonition method of divination. Among the revelations I had received, [Xiantian Wuji Gong] was the most beneficial technique for me in the entire Tianbo Mansion's library. How come I almost lost control while practicing it?

What is even more strange is that Yang Paifeng once said that this book was left by the Old Mother of Mount Li. However, that demigod powerful man in the seventh realm is knowledgeable and experienced. Even if he is not a martial artist, he should be able to see the flaws in this secret book. How could he allow a half-baked and harmful martial art to spread?

When it comes to matters involving demigods at a high level, Li Qingyun didn't dare to think too much. He could only put his guesses aside for the time being and think of a solution first.

He has now stepped half a foot into the fourth realm. As long as he can combine his essence, energy, and spirit and transform and fuse them all into innate true energy, he will be able to enter the innate realm and become a strong man in the city of Bianliang, truly possessing the ability to protect himself.

But now he was stopped halfway. Although he was protected by the mysterious palace, Li Qingyun didn't dare to gamble with his life again. He also had a hunch that if he really continued to force himself to practice, even if he didn't lose control, his body would be blown up by the powerful innate true qi, and he would be half-crippled if he didn't die.

Of course, switching to other skills to enter the innate state is also a good choice, but the skills in Tianbo Mansion may have other hidden dangers, and Li Qingyun dare not take the risk again.

As for Kaifeng Prefecture, although he had made several great achievements recently, he had just started his job after all, and was not qualified enough to exchange for the fourth level of skills.

With this in mind, Li Qingyun decided that instead of wasting time starting over, he might as well use the remaining energy and blood to complete the "Xiantian Wuji Gong" and make up for its shortcomings.

At least he could be sure that the skills he had obtained had no hidden dangers, and so far, the mysterious god had not shown any malice, so the magical power of performing magic was the best option he could think of at the moment.

So Li Qingyun reopened his supernatural powers, silently pondered the contents of the Xiantian Wuji Gong, and prayed in his heart for further chapters of the exercises.

Soon, his energy and blood began to be consumed in large quantities, and the gray eyeballs beside him kept turning, projecting one strange and complex rune after another, slowly converging and changing, and finally calming down, forming a new skill in front of Li Qingyun that had never been seen before, or even thought of.

Li Qingyun collected his thoughts and looked carefully. He saw the following words written on the title page:

[After nine transformations of divine power, the body becomes like colored glaze. Transcendent into a saint, all evil cannot invade. This method can be called the 'Nine Transformations of Primordial Power'! ]

[Remaining Qi and blood: one hundred and seven souls].

Consumed so much energy and blood?

Li Qingyun was startled, and then began to read slowly.

After taking a rough look at the entire set of skills, he couldn't help but be amazed. It was indeed a martial art deduced by gods, its power was unimaginable.

The Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is a body-refining exercise. As the name suggests, it is divided into nine levels, or nine revolutions.

After the third transformation, the essence and energy turn into a dragon, and with the help of the strong physical body, one can gather the innate true energy and enter the fourth realm.

With each subsequent turn, the strength will increase exponentially, eventually achieving the Nine-Turn Infinite Treasure Body, entering the "Divine Will" realm, and possessing a body so strong that even the fifth-level "Demon King" of the demon race and the "Arhat" of Buddhism, who are famous for their body-tempering methods, cannot reach their reach.

At that time, even without any weapons or magic treasures, he could still resist the strong men in the sixth realm. It could be said to be the strongest defense under demigod.

Looking at this description, it seems a bit too strong. Could it be that he is exaggerating? Li Qingyun complained but he was very satisfied in his heart.

To survive in this world full of evil and demons, defense and means of survival are the most important. If this "Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong" is half as powerful as described, it will be enough for him to protect himself.

However, there was not much energy and blood left at this time, and it had to be saved for various divinations later. Therefore, Li Qingyun suppressed his curiosity and did not start practicing immediately.

Alas, I haven’t killed enough evil demons, and now I don’t even have enough Qi and blood... He muttered, and for the first time he felt an urgent need for Qi and blood.

...When he finished his training, it was already past noon. Li Qingyun stretched and went straight to the Juyi Hall.

Bai Yunrui gave him half a day off, and he was not in a hurry to report to Kaifeng Prefecture. He just wanted to see how his men were doing with the annexation of Jinfengxiyu Tower.

As soon as we entered the Juyi Hall, Chu Jinxiang came over gracefully with dark circles under her eyes and said excitedly:
"Boss, it's done. Last night, Hall Master Song led his subordinates to patrol the territory of Golden Wind and Rain Tower and recruited more than 120 people. Most of them heard of your reputation and took the initiative to join you."

Good fellow, with more than a hundred people, we can add another hall... Li Qingyun nodded with satisfaction and asked:

"What's his character like? Is he willing to abide by the rules? Even though we are gangsters, we still have to abide by the rules and laws."

Chu Jinxiang said quickly:
"I have asked them to read the gang rules and drafted twenty rules overnight. These people will undergo a one-month trial and can only officially join our Changle Gang after passing the assessment. I guarantee that they will never damage your reputation."

Li Qingyun nodded slightly and said lightly:
"Thank you, Hall Master Chu. Once you've finished your work, take a rest. You must learn to combine work and rest. Otherwise, you will have many more things to worry about as the Changle Gang grows stronger in the future."

"The Changle Gang is growing stronger..." Chu Jinxiang repeated the words of the gang leader. She felt the great vision and ambition of the young man in front of her and was suddenly excited.

She raised her head and was about to say something, but she met Li Qingyun's firm and powerful eyes. Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her face flushed with excitement. Her heart was surging, and she could hardly control herself for a moment...

At this moment, a low voice sounded behind him:

"Boss, here are the property deeds of Zuiyang Tower and Jinyu Casino, which are owned by Jinfengxiyu Tower, as well as the roster of all their shopkeepers and employees. Please have a look."

Chu Jinxiang's body trembled, and she immediately came to her senses and quickly made way for her. Wei Xiuwen handed her a stack of documents.

Li Qingyun took it and glanced through it, then asked casually:

"How much money did it cost?"

Wei Xiuwen answered in his usual rigorous tone:
"As the boss expected, Jinfengxiyu Pavilion was eager to sell its property, and had already arranged with Xuanwu Pavilion and Xiaoyao Pavilion to bid for it, but we arrived at the right time, the bid was high, and it was a cash transaction, so we intercepted them halfway.

"The two properties were valued at 12,000 silver taels in total, which was already far below the market price. I counted all the silver in the public treasury, took out a total of 2,000 silver taels, and used Changle Gambling House as collateral to borrow 10,000 silver taels from Xuanwu Pavilion's money house, with a monthly interest of 5 cents.

"The interest rate is twice as high as usual, but they are the only ones who can take out so much cash at once."

Li Qingyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile:

"You used Xuanwu Pavilion's money to steal their business. Old Wei, you are amazing. You did a great job on this! Don't worry too much about the interest. I will find a way to raise the money and pay it back as soon as possible."

Wei Xiuwen said with some concern:

"We have robbed Xuanwu Pavilion and Xiaoyao Tower of their business this time. I wonder if they will hold a grudge against us."

Li Qingyun said casually:

"It's okay to hold a grudge, what's the big deal? We are going to be a big gang that dominates Bianliang City in the future. Xuanwu Pavilion, Xiaoyao Tower and Lotus Society are all obstacles that we can't get over. Since we have to meet them sooner or later, it's best to weaken them little by little now and strengthen ourselves."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject and asked:

"How is your family now?"

Wei Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this. He subconsciously thought that Li Qingyun was asking about Wei Jizu's recovery, but he didn't want to reveal his secret in front of Chu Jinxiang, so he said:

"Thanks to the great blessing of the gang leader, my wife is fine and everything is fine at home."

He was implying that everything was normal in his family except for Madam Wei, Wei Jizu and the concubine.

Li Qingyun nodded when he heard this. What he actually wanted to ask was Mrs. Wei. After hearing Wei Xiuwen's answer, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

It seems that there is nothing unusual about this envoy of the Wu Shi Sect, so why doesn't she take the initiative to contact Kaifeng Prefecture?

He kept this matter in mind and planned to pay Mrs. Wei a visit if he had not heard from her by tonight.

……

As the sun rises in the east, the door of the quiet courtyard in the Zhu Mansion is ajar and the house is empty.

"Chengxi, it's time to get up and eat..."

Mrs. Zhu called her son's name and walked into the yard to urge him to get up.

These two lazy maids, after not being punished for two days, are getting itchy again. They don’t even bother to wake up their master for breakfast at noon... Madam Zhu shook her head gently, feeling a little annoyed.

She adjusted her breathing slightly, tried not to show anger in front of her son, maintained the image of a loving mother, gently pushed open the door and walked in.

But as soon as she stepped over the threshold, she suddenly felt panicky.

There was bright sunshine outside the door, but the room was filled with an impenetrable darkness, as if a long night was approaching.

The place under my feet was wet, sticky, and had a disgusting stench.

"Chengxi... Chengxi... Where are you? Don't scare me..."

Mrs. Zhu shouted in fear.

But just as she finished her words, she felt something tripping her feet, and she fell to the ground with a thud, splashing a large amount of sticky liquid.

Mrs. Zhu fearfully put her hand on the ground, trying to support herself to get up, but as soon as she put her right hand down, she touched something soft and slippery.

She carefully picked it up and held it in front of her eyes. When she looked closely, she couldn't help but screamed in fright.

It was a pair of bright red, human lips...
