Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 162 Luck and Lonely Overlord

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious, we still have a lot of time." Qiu Chuji's calm voice soothed Zhuge Liuyun's restless emotions.

"Let me tell you about the next best thing first."

"Well... I don't want to interrupt, but can't you tell me the best plan first?" Zhuge Liuyun raised his hand carefully and spoke with some lack of confidence.

This time, Qiu Chuji didn't even need to speak. Yan Hongye gave Zhuge Liuyun a sidelong glance. The cold but slightly fierce look successfully made Zhuge Liuyun shrink his neck and retreat backwards.

He is also too young and doesn't understand life.

It's always easy to be dazzled by the momentary excitement.

You know, kittens before marriage can become big tigers after marriage.

Those who were already big tigers before marriage, why don't they run away quickly? Are they waiting to be eaten?
Love or not is all an illusion. Survival is the first priority!

"I have a martial art here, called 'Nine Deaths Silkworm Divine Art'. Practicing this art requires consuming enormous amounts of energy, which allows one to cocoon oneself, and then break out of the cocoon and be reborn. It is most suitable for your Mysterious Heart Secret Art. However, since it is about seeking survival from death, there are certain risks, and one must die completely." Qiu Chuji first came up with the initial solution.

The Nine-Death Silkworm and the Mysterious Heart Secret Technique complement each other, which sounds great, but this thing requires too much luck.

"You all know about silkworms making cocoons! Some can break out of their cocoons and become butterflies, but some cannot break through the cocoons and die inside them."

"Not only that, every time a cocoon is formed, the probability of breaking out of it will decrease as the thickness and strength of the cocoon increases."

Su Tianxin, who was hiding in the dark, had actually noticed the problem that Qiu Chuji mentioned a long time ago and had been trying to improve it. She had originally planned to teach it to Yan Hongye after she had improved it.

The Nine-Death Silkworm and the Mysterious Heart Secret Art, on the surface, seem to complement each other, but in fact, it is more like fighting poison with poison. The essence of the Mysterious Heart Secret Art is to command everything with a mortal body. If you want to break the impasse, you must truly have the qualifications to command everything, that is, to become a god.

Therefore, no matter how many times you break out of the cocoon and are reborn, as long as you are still a "human", the mysterious secret of the heart will continue to stick to you like a maggot that eats away at your bones.

And as his own strength increases, the next strongest burst will definitely be much stronger than the previous one.

In terms of probability, if the probability of breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn the first time is half, then the next time may be less than a quarter, and even lower after that, until the success rate is negligible.

Unless an external force that is not repelled can be added into this cycle.

After all, if ordinary external forces interfere with the cocoon breaking out, it will not help people, but harm them, unless they can grasp the timing perfectly.

If there is no other choice, this path is somewhat of a chance of survival, but if there are other options, it would be irrational to choose this one.

The expression on Yan Hongye's face became visibly calmer. She was not afraid of the dead end ahead, but was worried that she had no choice.

In fact, she didn't regret practicing the Mysterious Heart Secret Technique. She was just angry and annoyed because in her already short life, she saw her parents separated because of her, and each lived a life of self-exile. The family that was once harmonious and happy was torn apart like this.

If there is a way to solve the sequelae of the Xuanxin Mysterious Secret Technique, then even if this hope will become increasingly slim, she can use it as an excuse to reunite her parents.

"Now, let me talk about the middle strategy."

"The middle strategy is to become my disciple and leave this world with me."

"Since the problem is caused by the world itself, as long as we leave the world connected by the Mysterious Heart Secret, we will naturally be able to solve the root cause of the trouble." Qiu Chuji said.

He could indeed bring Yan Hongye, or anyone else in this world, to the small world, and then bring him back to the world where he originally was.

Of course, this requires their own consent. Qiu Chuji cannot forcibly take people away from this world, even if he knocks them out.

It's the same reason, he came to the world of A Chinese Ghost Story as a guest, so without the permission of the host, he can't bring other creatures to the world of A Chinese Ghost Story. But he can also invite people from the world of A Chinese Ghost Story to be guests in his world, whether it's a small world or the world he originally lived in, he can be regarded as the 'host'.

Invitation is allowed, kidnapping is not.

The Yuxu Bell is a genuine Taoist treasure, not an evil treasure of the devil, and it will not be sold by force.

"Wait! What do you mean by leaving this world?"

"Are there other worlds?"

"Also, you are not from this world?" Zhuge Liuyun asked again. He always seemed to have a lot of questions and seemed rash.

He needed to meet the Blue Devil first, and then he could feel at peace and settled.

Sometimes being irritable may not be due to lack of maturity, but rather to a lack of security, a lack of sufficient inner warmth and support, and a fear of every loss.

Qiu Chuji waved his hand and a silver light was scattered, but he pointed to the galaxy above his head and said, "Buddhists use the term 'the number of grains of sand in the Ganges River' to describe the vastness of the universe. Perhaps no one can truly figure out how many universes there are, and how many possibilities can be born from one universe."

“Each star above our heads may symbolize more than one world, and in the silver light that I casually swing in my hands, perhaps a microscopic world is slowly being born.” “The world is infinite, so as long as we can step out, there are infinite possibilities.”

Yan Hongye looked up at the starry sky and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.

She thought she was alone and helpless, but when she looked up, she found that there were so many opportunities.

There are so many worlds, she can survive in any one of them.

Even though she didn't have the ability to go to the stars, the pressure in her heart was relieved a little: "Tell me the best plan!!"

"The best strategy is very simple. I have a method here called 'Slay the Dragon'!"

"Kill the collective that has occupied a large amount of Yuan Qi and luck in this world, such as the Yin Yue Dynasty, who forcibly took the abundance of the world for their own use, turned a world into a private residence, and became an immortal on the spot!"

"However, once you succeed in slaying the dragon, this world will become your territory and burden. You need to protect it and give back to it. You must repay it tenfold or a hundredfold for the power you borrowed."

At this moment, Qiu Chuji seemed to be showing his true colors.

Su Tianxin is not a good partner, so let’s change someone else!
Whether it is Yan Hongye or Zhuge Liuyun, as long as they practice the method of slaying dragons and become the masters of this world, they can invite him to be their guest for a long time.

Of course, Su Tianxin was not completely out of the game. If he wanted to get the method of slaying the dragon from Qiu Chuji, he had to make a surrender agreement with him.

The world of Qiannu is rich in the energy of heaven and earth, and the products are also abundant. The only threat is the Demon Star hanging far away in the sky.

How could Qiu Chuji just ignore such a wonderful place and only travel here for three years at most?
The number of three years was told to Su Tianxin.

Qiu Chuji's behavior was not bullying, at most he was strategic. After all, he did not hide this from Su Tianxin, but told her fairly, so she still had a choice.

As for now, Qiu Chuji was not worried that Su Tianxin would get angry and kick him out of the world.

Su Tianxin does not have such decisiveness. Moreover, he has already completed two tasks. The third task is a concern for Su Tianxin. How can she bear to give it up?

"Then what will it take for you to teach my junior sister your method of slaying a dragon?" Zhuge Liuyun had no idea that he could also learn this method. Once he learned it, he could become an earthly immortal in a certain world and from then on, he would look down on life and death and be indifferent to the cycle of reincarnation.

The world of A Chinese Ghost Story has much more abundant Yuan Qi than the world where Qiu Chuji originally lived. No matter whether it is the secular dynasty or the Yinyue Dynasty that was destroyed, the people who received Yuan Qi in return will have a surge in strength, which may help them to reach a very terrifying level.

Of course, everything has two sides. Qiu Chuji got little, so it was easy for him to feel relieved. Although he was deeply bound to the world, the world was not a burden to him, but a resting place for him.

After all, even if the repayment is ten times or a hundred times, ten times is only ten, and a hundred times is only a hundred.

And if someone kills a dragon in the world of Qiannu and binds the world, then while he becomes the master, he will also become the guardian and maintainer of the world, destined to keep running to repay his debts.

They have to pay back ten or a hundred times the amount, but because the base is so huge, it seems like it will take a long time to pay it off.

By then, Qiu Chuji, who had mastered the passages to other worlds, would naturally be in a higher position for the transfer of benefits.

Even if you are the master of the world, you have to be willing to be Qiu Chuji's henchman.

"Be my disciple, join my Quanzhen Sect, respect the Three Pure Ones, and practice Taoism!" Qiu Chuji answered Zhuge Liuyun's question.

This answer was of course superficial, but Qiu Chuji believed that Yan Hongye and Su Tianxin could understand more.

"Well...we need to discuss this for a few days and then give you an answer, how about that?" Zhuge Liuyun stopped Yan Hongye who wanted to make a decision immediately. Before he came here, he was instructed by his master and mistress to stop Yan Hongye from making an impulsive decision.

Yan Hongye was also quite conflicted.

Qiu Chuji gave three strategies: best, medium and worst, but in Yan Hongye's opinion, they were all the same.

There are gains and losses.

The best strategy is the one that can resolve life and death threats, reunite with parents, and even use more powerful forces to help parents move forward and prolong their lives.

But it is destined to be bloody, and overthrowing any dynasty is never an easy task.

To uproot the Yinyue Dynasty is not as easy as just talking about it.

Zhongce has to go far away and may never see his parents again.

As for the worst option, it is to continue to gamble your life. If you don't practice, you will have no chance of survival, but if you practice, you will have a chance of survival.

"You can think about it as much as you want. Next, I'm going to a special place to solve a small problem... If you are interested, you can come with me." Without Su Tianxin's consent, Qiu Chuji invited Zhuge Liuyun and Yan Hongye to have a banquet in the City of No Tears.
