I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 23 Insight

After passing through the narrow alley, Li Qingyun finally returned to his residence in Yingxiong Building.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed something was wrong.

The cold breath was vague and gloomy, and the atmosphere was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, like a cold winter night, making people feel cold all over.

This feeling……

Li Qingyun immediately became alert and began to search the house carefully.

He possessed the magical power of "swallowing souls" and was extremely sensitive to supernatural forces. Soon he found two puppets filled with foul aura from the pile of debris in the corner.

He took the puppet in his hands and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

People from the Wu Shi Sect have been here, but why did they give me a puppet?
Is it a warning, a declaration of war, or some other plot?
Li Qingyun was quite confused, but soon thought of another possibility.

Fang Shuan once said that Kaifeng Prefecture seized two puppets, and the one in my hand is the third one. Could it be that they thought I could purify the puppets and sent it to me on purpose...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the latter one might be more reliable, but no matter what, he should not waste the energy and blood that was delivered to his door.

With this in mind, he immediately used his "Soul Devouring" magical power to sweep away all the foul aura from the two puppets.

【Remaining Qi and Blood: 121 Souls.】

Feeling the tremendous power in his body, Li Qingyun was delighted, and found that he already had enough energy and blood to use as a sacrifice to advance.

Of course, he could also choose to practice the skills he had just obtained from Song Ke first, but compared to the [Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique] in his hand, he was more looking forward to the new magical powers brought by the second-level agent - "Insight".

Thinking of this, Li Qingyun closed his eyes and meditated, silently praying to "Silence", expressing his desire to sacrifice his qi and blood.

[The agent sacrifices a hundred souls and blood to increase his rank! ]

[Current rank: Second-level 'Insighter'. ]

[Sacrifice the blood and energy of a thousand souls to be promoted to the third-level 'manipulator'. ]

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Twenty-one Souls]

[The insightful person gains the magical power - "divination"]

[Stars appear and disappear, good and bad luck are unpredictable, the brave are invincible, the wise are less likely to suffer misfortune. The agent sacrifices his qi and blood, and can borrow the power of the Holy Spirit to spy on the secrets of heaven, predict good and bad luck, and explore the past and the future.]

In an instant, countless mysterious and incomprehensible knowledge entered Li Qingyun's mind, making him feel dizzy.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself once again in that majestic and mysterious palace, sitting on the throne.

Slightly different from before, the original thick fog on his right hand side had disappeared, and instead, there was a huge eyeball quietly floating in the air, with blood vessels densely covered on it, forming strange runes. Just one look at it made one's blood boil and one's head splitting.

No wonder the second-level agent is called "Insighter"... Li Qingyun, who fully accepted the "divination" magical power, immediately realized that the eyeball in front of him was the medium for him to obtain the secrets of heaven. He could use it to communicate with gods, glimpse into the past and future, and see through everything in the world.

Of course, such terrifying magical powers are not without a price. The more important the matter of divination and the higher the level involved, the more energy and blood are required.

For example, if Li Qingyun wanted to divine the whereabouts of the horse-faced spiritual master of the fourth realm, because of the huge difference in status and level, even if he drained all his people, it would be difficult to get effective revelation.

Although divination is good, you still have to do it within your ability.

Li Qingyun muttered secretly and leaned lazily on the throne. Only then did he discover that there was a faint mark on his right wrist. It was a strange pupil composed of various strange symbols, which was similar to the eyeballs in the palace.

He immediately understood that with this thing, he would not need to summon this towering palace and the huge eyeball every time he used divination. He only needed to communicate with the mark on his wrist.

After reorganizing the knowledge he had learned in his mind, Li Qingyun let out a long sigh and took out a few yellowed pages from his arms.

It was the first volume of [Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique] obtained from Song Ke.

At this moment, he still had some energy and blood left, so he planned to rely on the initiation to start practicing this technique and improve his strength as quickly as possible.

He did it right away, calming himself down and immediately starting to meditate. As soon as the thought came to his mind, thousands of "Li Qingyun" quickly condensed into shape in the boundless mist, and under the guidance of the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, they began to read the cultivation method and immediately fed back the experience they gained.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Twenty Souls]...

Li Qingyun only felt that he had mastered the entire set of exercises by heart. He quickly digested and understood the original difficulties and finally mastered them.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Seventeen Souls]...

The essence of heaven and earth rushed into Li Qingyun's limbs and bones like a tide. His tendons were like dragons, tumbling and leaping. He showed signs of breaking through the first level.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Fifteen Souls]...

The tendon barrier was broken. After passing the first major hurdle, Li Qingyun's fascia became strong, he was as strong as an ox and felt extremely refreshed.

But he did not stop, and continued to practice initiation while his Qi and blood were still sufficient.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Nine Souls]...

The bone barrier was broken, and the marrow was like mercury. Li Qingyun gently moved his joints, making a series of popping sounds like popping beans. He felt that every move he made had the power and speed of the original "burning blood" magic.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Three Souls]...

The skin barrier was broken, and Li Qingyun's skin became crystal clear, like flawless jade, and extremely tough. Only precious swords could not cut it. Countless pores on it opened and closed slightly, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly and steadily.

Having learned from the previous lessons, Li Qingyun ended his meditation in moderation after breaking through the three barriers.

He didn't want to use up all his energy in pursuit of a breakthrough and fall into the brink of madness again.

……

After finishing his training, Li Qingyun took out another puppet that he had been carrying with him from his arms.

At this time, the puppet has not only opened its eyes, but also has a nose, mouth and ears outlined. Its facial features are all very normal when viewed individually, but when put together there is a kind of weird and inharmonious feeling that makes people feel indescribable awkwardness.

Li Qingyun looked at the puppet carefully, but was not in a hurry to swallow the foul air in it. Instead, he wanted to continue observing it to see what other changes it would undergo.

After finishing these things, he suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Yun Zhaozhong to have dinner at his house tonight.

Perhaps influenced by his predecessor, Li Qingyun has always felt very close to this deputy gang leader who has always taken care of him, and he also doesn't like to break an appointment at the last minute. So even though he was physically and mentally exhausted after a busy day, he gritted his teeth, got up from the comfortable chair, and walked out to Deputy Gang Leader Yun's home.

In order to prevent the puppet from being taken away by ordinary people, he carried it with him. Although ordinary thieves would not be so stupid as to steal things from him, it was still better to be on the safe side.

Not long after, he arrived at a house according to his memory and gently knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a beautiful young woman in her early twenties, with bright eyes, white teeth and a graceful demeanor.

She was dressed in gauze, her graceful figure was looming, tempting people's imagination.

Especially on her fair neck, there was a bright red gem pendant, which made her skin look even whiter than snow and added a bit of charm.

This was Yun Zhaozhong’s new wife, whose maiden name was Su Yue’e.

Li Qingyun straightened his clothes, clasped his fists and bowed, saying respectfully:

"Hello, auntie!"

The woman glanced at Li Qingyun with a look of both joy and anger, her narrow and long phoenix eyes showing affection:

"Damn it, you haven't been here for three days..."
