Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 366: Breaking through with force, refining the weapon into the body (Subscribe!)

If virtue is not matched, there will be disasters.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

These two ancient teachings are telling the world the same truth: when your power does not match your position and wealth, these will bring disaster.

Not to mention the cultivators, even if a mortal family suddenly becomes rich, there will be people who will swarm upon them like flies to a rotten smell, plotting and setting up traps to make you lose your money and your family. It would be good if it was just losing your money and your family, but many people have even lost their lives in these thousands of scams.

The sixth-level spiritual vein of Canglong Mountain belongs to the early spiritual vein and core area of ​​Haiyuan City. If it were only that, it would be fine.

After all, Lu Cheng, the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger are five Yuanying Zhenjun, and they have disciples to protect them. It is no problem for them to occupy this place. What's more, they have joined the Changle League and abide by local rules.

However, there is now a large spiritual stone vein beneath this spiritual vein that is waiting to be mined. The benefits are too great. Not to mention the five early Nascent Soul cultivators, even the Changle League will need to overcome them.

That is why the monks of Tiansha League have made preparations from various sources.

After hearing the news, Lu Cheng thought about it and decided to give half of the profits to Changle League and let Gu Yunge share some of the pressure for him.

After all, he was not short of spirit stones, and any conflict with the local cultivators would be too great, and it would not be in line with his previous plans.

"Reporting to Master Lu, the laws and regulations of Haiyuan City were established by the first few clans and families, and they are biased towards those clans and families. For example, when you mine the spiritual veins of this mountain, according to the laws of Haiyuan City, you can choose to convert 10% of the profits into demon hunting merits. You must write this clearly when signing the contract, otherwise they will definitely settle with you according to the spiritual stones."

The interests of Haiyuan City belong to the public, but Lu Zhenjun's reward is his own, so Han Zhi directly told the hidden truth, which changed Lu Cheng's expression.

A conflict with local cultivators is a calamity, and going out of the city to fight with sea monsters is also a calamity. The latter is probably even more dangerous.

After all, the monsters are attacking you in groups, and they won’t talk to you about numbers or realm.

"Thank you for your reminder, little friend Han. Here, this is the bitter leaf spirit wine, which is even more precious than the jade bee jelly. I will give it to you as a reward for your heroic act."

Jade Bee Honey is a fifth-grade spiritual object, and Bitter Leaf Spirit Wine is a sixth-grade spiritual wine. These are all priceless top-grade spiritual objects that have been released into the world. Although it is just a gourd, for Han Zhi, Master Lu Cheng is already very generous.

"Thank you so much, True Lord. Thank you so much for your reward. In the future, I will certainly bring grass and tie a ring for you to repay your kindness. I wish you prosperity in Taoism." Han Zhi knew that owning such a spiritual object and meeting such a person could even change his own destiny. He was so grateful that he shed tears and knelt down to pay homage.

"There's no need to be so polite. Get up and do your job well."

After Han Zhi left, Lu Cheng sat on the altar in the Taoist Palace and thought for a long time, but finally laughed softly:
"The opportunity has come, the great road is coming, and when things are really impossible to do, the worst that can happen is to overturn the table and leave. What is there to be afraid of?
If I can integrate the Insect Sutra into my own Dao, even a Yuanshen cultivator may not dare to fight me to the death!"

On the altar, Lu Cheng's body trembled slightly, and a five-element flying sword that looked like glass appeared in front of the Taoist. He gently stroked the sword with his hand, and golden red flames gathered in his pupils.

Half an hour later, at the gatehouse in front of Jinting Xianque.

Lu Chengfeng paced back and forth in the palace in a restless manner. He believed that the rumors from the outside world could not be fully believed. He did not kneel before the Jinting Xianque to beg, but he did come to the palace several times with valuable gifts to ask for a meeting.

It's just that Lu Zhenjun, who recently opened a mansion, seems to be too busy and he has never seen him.

The Furious Monk Lu Chengfeng is now over 1,600 years old. He had two masters, but both of them died a thousand years ago.

Therefore, at the level of Nascent Soul cultivators, Lu Chengfeng can be considered a casual cultivator with no one to rely on.

He is over 1,600 years old and at the third level of the Nascent Soul. The road ahead is blocked, but Lu Chengfeng still has one more calamity to go through. If he can break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in this life, he may have a chance to test the opportunity of the Nascent Soul by practicing Taoism in the next life.

Even though the hope is slim, which cultivator who can cultivate to this level does not have a heart as strong as iron?
Moreover, there is a rumor among Nascent Soul cultivators that there is a space rift between the mortal world and the earthly immortal world. If one can find it and enter it, even a Nascent Soul cultivator may be able to successfully sneak into the earthly immortal world and attain the method of immortality.

Of course, this kind of thing is just like the legend among Qi-cultivating monks, that one can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm without the Foundation Establishment Pill. From the perspective of a high-level monk, it is just ridiculous.

Vague and possibly too low.

"In this life, you should accumulate cultivation skills, and in the next life, you should cultivate to the Yuanshen realm. Then, you can look for a spatial rift between the mortal world and the earthly immortal world. The chances of a Yuanying cultivator sneaking through successfully are low, but if you are a Yuanshen cultivator, you should have a good chance."

It was with this idea in mind that Lu Chengfeng spared no expense over the years and invited Gu Yunge of Changle League and Jiang An Zhenjun of Tiansha League to give him advice with generous gifts. Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain in the end.

The mixed practice of Mingwang's Karma Transformation Art and Taoist's Seven Evil Art had already caused chaos and confusion, and the two great monks were helpless.

The reason why Lu Chengfeng felt that Lu Cheng could help him was because Taoist Lu Cheng was also a cultivator who practiced both magic and body, and was obviously more capable than himself. Such a person might be able to show him a clear way forward.

However, this Master Lu always avoided him.

Lu Chengfeng became more and more irritated and uneasy about this, until he suddenly saw a Taoist priest wearing loose Taoist robes and with a refined temperament appear in front of him.

"Since you have been here so many times, come in."

Lu Cheng's tone was not polite, but Lu Chengfeng had come here many times, and this time he finally met the real owner, so of course he didn't mind.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, the two of them took their seats.

"I already know about your matter. Although I am not a magical doctor, I am willing to lend a helping hand. I just don't know if I can cure the disease and find the root cause. But you must first explain everything you have learned to me."

"Of course. Your Majesty's knowledge is far superior to mine. What's so precious about my miscellaneous knowledge?"

Lu Chengfeng had no objection or hesitation to this, nor did he think that the other party would really covet his own martial arts.

As time passed, the two Yuanying Zhenjun cultivators sat in the Taoist Palace and discussed Taoism.

Nine pillars of mysterious light hung from the dome of the Taoist palace, with runes rolling around them like inverted galaxies.

This was an auxiliary magic circle left behind by the ancestors of the Zhuang family. It could enlighten people's wisdom. It was only activated again by Lu Chengfeng and Lu Cheng a thousand years later.

"The essence of the Mingwang Karma Transformation Art that I specialize in is that the Buddhist essence can dissolve the vicious and violent aura and reduce the evil spirit of the slaughtered demons; and the Taoist Seven Evils Art is used to regulate the inner fierce power and transform it into the body, turning harm into benefit." While Lu Chengfeng explained, he kept pinching various Buddhist and Taoist magic formulas with his hands.

Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the platform opposite and listened quietly. His eyes revealed enlightenment and his fingers tapped his knees lightly, as if he was pondering the essence of the changes.

The air around them seemed to become solemn because of the discussion between the two. The incense burner in the Taoist temple was filled with smoke, and the wisps of green smoke seemed to be telling the eternal legal principles.

Time passed quietly as the two discussed Taoism. For seven days and seven nights, they seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the outside world and only maintained their discussion and exchange on Taoism.

“Three hundred years ago, when I was refining a nine-headed snake at the Nascent Soul stage in the Western Wilderness, the Ming Wang Transformation Technique was nearly broken by the backlash of this evil spirit.” A ray of dark red evil spirit condensed at Lu Chengfeng’s fingertips, and the evil spirit moved around his body and turned into a ferocious black python.

But at this moment, he made the Buddhist Great Sun Seal with his left hand, and the evil black python was suddenly wrapped in seven-colored flames, and golden lotuses grew where the scales had peeled off.

“The Seven Evils of Taoism emphasize stopping killing with killing and punishing on behalf of heaven. It is also because of this Taoist heart and the consistency in my actions that I can always suppress the evil spirit in my body from counterattacking.” Lu Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes, the pupil of his left eye turned into a dark golden Buddha seal, and the right eye burst out with Taoist mysterious light.

After seven days and seven nights, Lu Cheng roughly understood Lu Chengfeng's condition.

He had cultivated the Buddhist and Taoist methods for 1,600 years and cultivated them to a very good level. In addition, the two methods were inexplicably compatible, which allowed him to take advantage of both. However, after cultivating to this level, Lu Chengfeng's own talent was not enough to support him to create his own method.

Lu Chengfeng himself sometimes felt that the Buddhist Bodhicitta was bright, and sometimes thought that the Taoist spirit was firm. Fortunately, these two kinds of Buddhist and Taoist spirits did not conflict violently, so he did not go crazy because of this, but he was unable to make a choice.

After seven days and seven nights, Lu Cheng tapped the ground with his finger, and after a long pause, he said, "I already understand your condition, but if I want to help you escape the calamity, I still need a lot of preparation and consideration. I am not sure if I can help you now. You may as well go back first and consider what price you can pay for this matter."

"Master, do you have a way to help me escape from this disaster?"

After seven days and seven nights of discussing Taoism, Lu Chengfeng already knew that the Taoist in front of him had profound knowledge, covering the five schools of Taoism, Buddhism, Demonism, Confucianism and Godhood. Such a brilliant person might really be able to help him continue his Taoist journey.

"I have some thoughts, but they still need to be considered. Fellow Daoist, please go ahead for now."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng personally escorted Lu Chengfeng out of the Taoist Palace.

"...True Lord, I am willing to sacrifice my life for the sake of seeking the truth. If you can help me continue my path, I am willing to become your disciple and serve you for life."

Before leaving, Lu Chengfeng thought about it again and again, and finally said this.

The world of immortal cultivation has always been ruled by the principle that the most accomplished ones come first, but considering Lu Chengfeng's magical power and status, he undoubtedly had great determination to say this, and was willing to offer up his wealth and even his life to be a slave.

"Before this is accomplished, you don't have to do this, I will do my best."

After seeing Lu Chengfeng off, when Lu Cheng turned around and returned to Jinting Xianque, Xiao Yuhong was already waiting there, standing gracefully on the clouds.

Xiao Yuxue has been working hard during this period and has been practicing Taoism in seclusion, so Xiao Yuhong is the only one there.

"My husband, you don't want to meddle in this person's affairs, so why do you change your mind today?"

Xiao Yuhong came over to greet him and spoke to Lu Cheng with a smile.

"Just as a commoner must pay with his life for killing one person, a king can get away with killing ten thousand people. With our level of magical power, it is too difficult for us to accept the benefits of this place. Lu Chengfeng has accumulated magical power for 1,600 years. If we can help him escape from the disaster, he can shield us from some wind and rain."

Some cultivators who are good at both fighting and practicing both magic and body have some chances to defeat their opponents by crossing a small realm. Lu Chengfeng's aptitude is a little inferior, but he is a Nascent Soul after all. After Lu Cheng talked with him for seven days and seven nights, he did come up with some alternative methods based on what he had learned.

"My husband, there are many high-ranking cultivators in Haiyuan City. If it is really difficult, we should give up our foundation here and escape far away. My husband is a master of swordsmanship, but war is always dangerous. Sometimes I always think that being able to stay with my husband and sister for a thousand years is a rare blessing and I dare not ask for more."

Xiao Yuhong was extremely beautiful and gorgeous, and at this moment she showed a rare little girl's behavior to Lu Cheng, which made her even more touching.

“Hahahaha, I know that war is dangerous, so I didn’t do it myself. Otherwise, there would only be a handful of people in this huge Dahaiyuan City who could catch my eye.

Are Gu Yunge of Changle League, Li Bihua of Guyue League, and Jiang An of Tiansha League really that strong? If these three cultivators are willing to join forces to besiege me, I will have to flee in desperation. "

He has mastered the Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Method and possesses peerless swordsmanship. Even a great cultivator can be killed with one of his swords.

It’s just that Lu Cheng never explains his swordsmanship or the Jiuli Ding to people around him. It’s not that Lu Cheng doesn’t trust the Xiao sisters, but these things have nothing to do with his beloved them.

"You are talking nonsense again. Why don't I write a letter and ask them to come over. With my parents in my family, we should be able to keep this family business."

"Master is in seclusion and cultivating, trying to break through the realm of magic power. This is the time when he cannot be disturbed. Master's wife will also accompany Master in Zhiguan Mountain. Yuhong, don't worry for now. I have indeed thought of a secret method to help Lu Chengfeng break through his current realm."

Back then, Lu Cheng obtained seven copies of the Yuanshen inheritance in the Tianhai Cave Heaven of Tongxuan Realm. This was a huge fortune in any immortal cultivation sect. Even in the Yuanshen sects with shallower foundations, they might not be able to have such a collection of books:

The Ruyi Heavenly Demon Record, the Secret Strategy of the Transformation of Heavenly Stone, the Purple Gang Xuansha Thunder Sword Technique, the Green Demon Frost Demon Heavenly Filthy Sword Technique, the Ten Thousand Spirits Wood God Technique, the Yin and Yang Mixed Cave Method, the Nine Techniques of the Unborn True Spirit, as well as a Book of the Ten Thousand Tribulations and Hundreds of Weapons.

After learning about Lu Chengfeng's problem during the Seven Days' Discussion on Taoism, Lu Cheng secluded himself in the Taoist Palace for a while, constantly reading classics.

Finally, among the many chapters in the Wanjie Baiqipu Book, he found the method that had suddenly occurred to him.

"Buddhism cannot be complete, Taoism cannot be complete. This person has practiced for thousands of years, and the disease of splitting the soul and splitting the spirit has penetrated into his bones. It is impossible for him to choose one. He worships Buddhism one moment and believes in Taoism the next. I am afraid that he does not have the qualifications to practice the Two Hearts Sutra to be inclusive.

In this case, why not start from the state of mind, the actual evidence is not false…”

The Book of Ten Thousand Tribulations and One Hundred Weapons is actually similar to the Secret Strategy of the Heavenly Stone of Transformation into Emotion, and is also a partially incomplete and modified version of the Ruyi Heavenly Demon Record.

However, the secret strategy for transforming emotions is to start with the cultivator's body and mind, and the internal strength. With the Xuanyin female body, the emotions can be cut off by turning them into stones, and when the skill is completed through nine transformations, no method can harm them.

The Book of a Hundred Weapons of Ten Thousand Tribulations starts with the cultivation of weapons. When the Record of the Ruyi Heavenly Demon is cultivated to a high level, the magic weapon can be integrated into the body, thus achieving mutual benefits.

The Book of Ten Thousand Tribulations and Hundred Weapons refines magical instruments and treasures from the outside to the inside so that they are suitable for integration into the cultivator's body. This can be considered a unique approach to the practice of magic.

"To practice this Hundred Instruments Collection, one must start with the method of instrument cultivation. In the early stages, every time a magical instrument is refined, the mana replenishment level will be raised by one point. After practicing to a high level, the qi between the person and the instrument will be in harmony, and it is indeed easier to refine the instrument into the body.

This technique has a side method that changes the physical body to forcibly increase the magic power. Although once the spell is cast, the recipient's magic power will never increase again in this lifetime, it is not a problem for Lu Chengfeng. At his age, he has no hope of entering the late Nascent Soul stage. "

Half a month later, Lu Chengfeng couldn't bear it anymore and came to visit again. This time, Lu Cheng didn't turn him away, but led him into the palace to explain the pros and cons to him.

"I have a secret method that can help you increase your mana and break through the bottleneck. But once you use it, firstly, your life will be in danger. Secondly, this is a side secret method to break through the bottleneck. After using it, you may never be able to improve your Taoism again in your life."

Just as Lu Cheng thought, Lu Chengfeng didn't care at all after hearing about these harms:
"True Lord, when we cultivators practice and break through bottlenecks, there is no time without danger. As long as the danger can be controlled and accepted, there will be no problem. As for my inability to improve my cultivation in this lifetime, I will be gone in four hundred years. This side door secret method will not ruin my cultivation for many lifetimes, right?"

"Oh, that's not the case."

The secret techniques in the Book of Ten Thousand Tribulations and Hundred Weapons only work on the physical body. As for the evil techniques that can destroy a person's cultivation for many lifetimes, they do exist but they are probably not common in the entire world of immortal cultivation.

Next, Lu Cheng told Lu Chengfeng about the secret techniques and key points of practicing the Wanjie Baiqi Pu.

Lu Chengfeng has been practicing for 1,600 years, and has never seen such a strange and inexplicable method of cultivation, but this method suits him. The most difficult part is the rejection between the cultivator and the magic weapon. The weaker the body, the lower the chance of success. But this is not a problem for cultivators who practice both magic and body.

"Thank you for all your hard work for me."

After listening to Lu Cheng's performance, Lu Chengfeng bowed deeply to the Taoist in front of him and felt convinced.

"If you can help me continue my path, I would like to become your disciple."

Lu Chengfeng brought up the old matter again, and this time he was more sincere.

"No need to do so, fellow Daoist. If this method is successfully implemented, fellow Daoist will become my guest. I will just ride the wind for two hundred years, and after two hundred years, I can ride the wind to come and go as I please."

The master-disciple relationship is a lifelong one, while the guest-disciple relationship is relatively much more equal.

Lu Chengfeng was very grateful when he heard this. Of course, the contract between the two of them still had to be signed. Otherwise, Lu Cheng would not easily grant the remaining fragments of the secret method inherited from the seventh-level soul to others.
