Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 9: Sorting out the talismans, the second god general and the six desire peach blossom fan

Lu Cheng's mood at this moment was like a fisherman who originally intended to catch grass carp, but ended up encountering the golden legendary Magikarp, and the whole person became energetic.

Just as the innate aptitude of mortals in practicing Taoism varies, so does that of ghosts.

There are some people who are born with strong souls. They are all subject to the same technique of Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals. Tu Nuhu is the Golden Armored Divine General, while the brothers Zou Xiong and Zou Yong are only Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers. They are far inferior to the former in terms of potential or spirituality.

"This Li Meng can actually condense his Yin body on his own. If I hadn't intervened, he might have really been able to cultivate into a ghost."

Although Lu Cheng was interested, he was not in a hurry to close the net.

Instead, he still calmly hid in the magic circle that concealed the yang energy and waited, placing talismans one by one in front of himself.

Li Meng's condensed Yin body had some intelligence. When his tall but unusually thin translucent figure approached the black pottery jars, he actually stopped on his own initiative. He looked at the twelve black pottery jars placed in front of him with a look of suspicion and nervousness, and looked around.

When he was alive, he was the best hunter in the area. The scene before him reminded him of the time when he caught wild boars:

They also dig a deep pit, cover it with a net and cloth, and then cover it with a thin layer of soil, and place food in the middle. No matter whether it is a wild boar or a tiger, if it falls in, it will die.

Li Meng sensed the danger, but unfortunately, the people around him were no longer his former trustworthy fellow hunters, but groups of extremely hungry ghosts with only yang energy in their eyes.

Li Meng stopped, but the remaining souls and ghosts around him rushed over one after another.

They had to devour the yang energy rising from the black pottery jars. Otherwise, they would have perished, or completely transformed into evil spirits that hunted each other, but that would also most likely result in them being devoured.

Lu Cheng was hiding in the dark and was not in a hurry. Humans are blind creatures, and ghosts are one level lower than humans. Desires will only become more extreme and urgent without the constraints of the flesh.

Lu Cheng sat cross-legged in the magic circle, counting the talismans on his body one by one.

These talisman papers placed in front of the Taoist priest were glowing with a faint glow, obviously different from the low-level talismans drawn by Lu Cheng himself, but they were the legacy left by his predecessor Lu Cheng.

The predecessor Lu Cheng dared to come to Nanjiang Prefecture alone, and he was not seeking death.

He had all the talismans and magic weapons on him, but Lu Cheng took over the body of his predecessor that had gone astray. Although Lu Cheng had lost a large part of his magic power in order to save himself before his death, the first thing Lu Cheng wanted to study was the fundamental Taoist method "Chiji Heart Method" to restrain the chaotic magic power and stabilize the situation.

After arriving at Shiyuan County, Nanjiang Prefecture, his main task was to study the fundamental method of Qi training. Because of the need for self-protection and the confidence in his own swordsmanship, he spent most of his mind on the "Sword Yuan Record" and the Twelve Sword Techniques of Chiji. Then he met Mr. Wang Yue, the priest of Li Meng, and practiced the Heavenly Soldiers and Gods for a month. When the situation gradually stabilized and he had some spare time, Lu Cheng began to receive the property of his predecessor, the talismans and magic tools in his Qiankun bag.

His previous life was not welcomed by his teachers in Huoyun Mansion, but after leaving the mountain, he enjoyed a high status among the independent cultivators in the outside world and the cultivators from small sects.

What's more, before leaving the mountain, Senior Brother Mo Hanyuan had already made it clear that, except for his own fundamental Taoist techniques which were not allowed to be passed on, Lu Cheng could deal with any other Taoist techniques he saw in the book cave of Huoyun Mansion on his own.

But if you dare to spread the fundamental Taoism at will, you should be careful of the flying swords.

With the title of being the true disciple of the Red God Son of Huoyun Mansion, and with a wealth of knowledge about various cultivation methods that he generously gave away, Lu Cheng has been a guest of honor wherever he goes since he came out of seclusion.

There are beautiful female cultivators who are usually chaste and self-disciplined and are willing to offer themselves to a man for a scroll of Taoist techniques. There are also many casual cultivators who have practiced hard for many years and are willing to offer their magical instruments that they have refined for many years and the elixirs that they have painstakingly refined after more than ten years of collecting herbs for a simple and ordinary Taoist method.

During those few months, Lu Cheng felt like he was a god... and then his body became hollow, and he absorbed and replenished the conflicting Yin energy in his body.

Lu Cheng is still dealing with the chaotic magic power in his body that sometimes suddenly increases and runs wild. He didn't refine it completely. Qi will be generated when the Yang Yuan and Yin Yuan touch each other, which is one of the reasons why the dual cultivation method has improved so rapidly. However, his previous incarnation was too obsessed with desire and lost his mind, and he absorbed too much in the replenishing.

The twenty years of cultivation in the Huoyun Cave Mansion were so hard and lonely that after Lu Cheng came down the mountain, he enjoyed himself as recklessly as a starving man.

"But he has studied Taoism for twenty years, and he has good knowledge and basic qualities. Although he was generous in giving away magic skills after leaving the mountain, the spells, magic arts, and magic tools he got in exchange are all valuable. In fact, overall, he still made a profit."

The Small Seal Script Qingfeng Talisman, the Golden Blade Zhan Xie Talisman, the Red Yang Hand Pivot Fiery Fire Talisman, the Black Gold Armor Talisman, and the Invisibility and Concealment Talisman, these are all very practical and high-quality talismans.

There are also three magic weapons: a Thunder Hammer and a Lightning Mother Cone, both of which are rare thunder-attribute magic weapons among the second-grade lower-grade magic weapons. The power of the two together exceeds that of ordinary second-grade middle-grade magic weapons. If they are taken to southern Xinjiang to deal with those unconventional cultivators who raise yin and feed on poisonous insects, their power is equivalent to that of second-grade upper-grade magic weapons, and they are extremely fierce.

The Six Desires Peach Blossom Fan is a second-level medium-grade magical weapon. It can emit the Six Desires Peach Blossom Fire to protect the body and attack the enemy. The killing power is not great, but the Six Desires Peach Blossom Fire contains aphrodisiac smoke. It is almost ineffective against the orthodox Xuanmen cultivators with a firm heart of Taoism, but it is extremely powerful against ordinary casual cultivators. It won't take long before the opponent's eyes become blurred and their minds collapse.

“How many of the Southern Border cultivators can be said to have a firm heart? Lu Cheng died in my hands. If he had really come here, ordinary Southern Border cultivators would really be no match for him.”

"On this long road of cultivation, it turns out that the truly formidable enemy is actually ourselves, rather than external enemies."
