This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 248 Uncle Hard Drive is good in every way, especially his death

Deep in the forest.

There is a flat area on the hillside, which is overgrown with weeds and piled with rocks.

Xiang Yuan Yufeng descended and noticed two minions behind him. He raised his eyebrows but pretended not to notice.

In southern Xinjiang, people are simple and honest, and it is normal for gangs to rob each other. We can't expect much quality here.

As an outsider, it is wrong to stand on the moral high ground and make comments. We should learn to respect local customs.

If you encounter a situation where a thief robs you, don't panic. Do as the locals do and integrate into the local culture. Then just rob the thieves in return!
Last year, at the Small Morality Fair, the old demon Lingguang from Huangquan Road failed to take over Xiang Yuan's body. Before his death, he repented and became a good uncle who cared for the younger generation. He told Xiang Yuan that he had put everything he had in Southern Xinjiang, including fame, wealth, and status, and that he could take them himself if he wanted them.

Xiang Yuan couldn't refuse, so he had to come to look for treasure. Master Hard Drive had passed away, and he couldn't let him be left without a successor.

As a good disciple of Benxin Dao, he behaves uprightly and honestly, is upright and upright, and is humble, obedient and filial. He has this responsibility and obligation.

The above is Xiang Yuan Benyuan’s self-explanation, which uses exaggeration and personification. Just listen to it and don’t take it seriously.

The actual situation is that Master Hard Drive left behind some memory fragments, pointing out several treasure troves in southern Xinjiang.

These treasures were left for Lingguang Old Demon to use for himself. When one is in the world, one might die one day, so one must leave himself a chance to make a comeback.

And all eggs cannot be put in one basket, so there are several treasure troves.

Although he is called Sun Tzu, his grandfather’s Art of War says, “Plan for defeat before planning for victory.” If you want to win a battle, you must first think of a way to avoid losing it.

Lingguang did a good job in this regard. He was worried that if he encountered a strong enemy in the future, he would be forced to take over another body and rebuild. He even thought of the possibility that his soul would be severely damaged and his memory would be damaged after taking over another body.

Then Xiang Yuan came.

Following the instructions of Uncle Hard Drive, he moved the stones that were randomly placed at his feet and placed them in position according to the formation. As the last huge stone fell into place, white light rose from the ground, and two crooked trees rose from the ground, turning into a portal that slowly opened with black light.

Xiang Yuan strode in, and the moment he entered the black light, he dived underground.

Just in case, let's deal with the two tails behind our butts first.

"Brother, he's in, let's go in too."

"Why are you here? You are so impatient and not steady at all."

Two men in black were lurking in the dense forest. The elder brother had more experience in martial arts than the younger brother. He looked at the black light door and sneered, "The spirit-keeping sect is the best in the world in going to the grave. This guy went to the grave just like he was going home. He is obviously a veteran. He can avoid the traps in the cemetery. We don't have this ability. We might be killed by him throwing stones to test the water."

"What do you mean, senior brother?"

"Let him take it. We'll wait for him to come out and snatch his Qiankun bag."

"Brother is so tall!"

"..."

What’s going on? Why haven’t you come yet?

Xiang Yuan squatted on the ground and had to admit that there were too many smart people these days. Even the passers-by who were robbing each other were so vigilant.

"Damn it, everyone else is wearing seventy, but I'm the only one wearing one hundred and forty. It's obviously targeting me!"

Xiang Yuan was indignant. He sneaked underground for dozens of meters and then emerged.

There is a dark cave in front of him, with several football-sized luminous pearls hanging on the ceiling. The old demon Lingguang had never expected that he would become a hard drive master one day, so he did not leave any mechanisms or traps. When Xiang Yuan arrived here, he could go shopping in the supermarket by himself.

He looked at the two shelves in the front. On the left were pills, and on the right were poisons. They were arranged in order according to the three realms of foundation building, innateness, and spirit transformation.

Xiang Yuan was not interested in elixirs and poisons. As a walking medicine stick, he was immune to all poisons and had almost unlimited blood. Even if he slit his neck and let the blood flow out, it would take ten years for the blood to be completely gone.

When others need elixirs to save their lives, or as external supplements to assist in their spiritual practice, he replenishes himself and can use any of the remaining elixirs to replenish others.

Tons, tons, tons!
Xiang Yuan opened the lid and drank voraciously, no matter whether it was elixir or poison, he regarded it all as a tonic, drank it all into his body, and circulated the Wuxiang Seal Method to refine the medicinal power and settle it in his limbs and bones.

"Ordinary stuff!"

Xiang Yuan smacked his lips, leaving behind empty shelves and empty bottles all over the floor.

The two shelves in front are filled with various swords and martial arts secrets, still classified according to the three realms of foundation building, innate, and spirit transformation.

Xiang Yuan looked at the rows of long swords and complained, "Uncle Master, I use a knife, not a sword. If you can hear me, remember to prepare two good knives for the next tomb."

He drew out his swords and tried them one by one. The best quality one was a red sword.

Rouge sword!
The sword is three feet and three inches long, and the blade seems to be carved from red jade, crystal clear, with a faint red glow, and it seems to be stained with rouge for a thousand years, sharp yet gorgeous.

With a gentle wave, the cold light flowed, and the blood-red halo drew an elegant arc, just like a dot of cinnabar between a woman's eyebrows, both charming and deadly.

The hilt of the sword is made of black iron and wrapped with thin red silk threads. It feels warm to the touch, and a blood-red gem is inlaid on the head of the hilt.

When the hilt of the sword is held in the palm of the hand, flames will dance inside the gem and red light will spread out, just like holding a ray of red clouds in the hand. The sword will also emit a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of rouge, confusing the soul and making it trance.

The sword leaves a fragrance and the blood leaves no trace. She can be called the beauty in the sword, charming to the extreme.

Even though Xiang Yuan didn't use the sword, he had to admit that when the sword was unsheathed, it was like a beautiful woman's smile, captivating the whole country. It was not only a weapon for killing, but also a work of art.

"elegant!"

Xiang Yuan brushed the sword with his fingertips. It was a pity to leave such a beautiful sword gathering dust in the warehouse. But he really couldn't use a sword. It seemed a bit idle for him to make a plate of dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.

After thinking about it, Xiang Yuan decided to make a plate of dumplings.

After all, this dish of vinegar is really beautiful!

For the next trip to Dilongbao, I will use this sword as a disguise, and I have even thought of a nickname - A Dot of Red in Southern Xinjiang!

Xiang Yuan put away the Rouge Sword and looked at the shelf where the secret manuals of martial arts were placed. He engraved the inheritance of each sword technique into his mind and asked Palu to come out and mine quickly, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and compile a set of usable sword techniques as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter how great you are, just being handsome, beautiful and cool is enough.

The sword secret book was rolled away, and in front of Xiang Yuan was a complete set of five elements skills, which was carefully selected by Master Hard Drive and he spoke highly of it. When he opened the pages, there were notes left for him by Master Hard Drive.

When you have reached the stage of foundation building, do not rush to break through the innate stage. Instead, practice the five elements internally to consolidate your foundation. When the five elements are endless, yin and yang meet, the big and small Zhoutian are complete, and you seize the fortune of heaven and earth, the bottleneck of the innate stage will be broken by itself.

At the end of the annotation, there is a profanity-laced message that pays deep regards to the mothers of the demon race.

Xiang Yuan put away the Five Elements Kung Fu, secretly said it was an opportunity, and used the Formless Seal to simulate it.

He has reached the Xiantian stage and has a complete set of five-element exercises, which comes from the collection of Zhao Haoran's mansion in Wushengjie. Compared with the collection of Uncle Hard Drive, Wushengjie lacks the foundation, so Zhao Haoran's set of five-element exercises can be retired.

"Speaking of which, I have mastered the five elements, but I only learned two escape techniques after returning to my origin. It must be because the quality of the supporting techniques is too low..."

Xiang Yuan talked to himself, analyzed calmly, and after a little thought, he suddenly realized that Palu was working overtime.

All capitalists are like this. As long as Palu works overtime, there is no hurdle that he cannot overcome.

After sweeping the four shelves, Xiang Yuanying rubbed his hands and reached the end of the cave. Looking at the four neatly arranged treasure boxes, he couldn't wait to open them one by one.

In the first box, there is the secret book of the Three Yin Book of Life and Death, which covers the three realms of foundation building, innateness, and spirit transformation, as well as several supporting exercises.

In addition to the Thirteen Changes of Yin Wind and Ghost Fog and the Blood-Transforming Divine Palm that Xiang Yuan has already mastered, there are also four powerful killing moves: the Thousand Layers of Ghost Shadow, the Bone-Eroding Finger, the Yellow Springs Guiding Lamp, and the Netherworld Soul-Locking Chain.

I have to say that Lingguang chose the wrong mountain gate and didn't do very well in the Benxin Dao, but shined brightly in the Huangquan Dao. It seems that he was born to make a living in the underworld.

The Thousand Ghost Bodies are what the old demon Lingguang comprehended from the Thirteen Changes of Yin Wind and Ghost Fog. Ghost shadows are created with Yin Qi. The higher the realm, the more ghost shadows there are. Each ghost shadow has part of the strength of the original body, and their auras are connected, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Practitioners can use ghostly shadows to confuse enemies, or they can launch attacks that leave them helpless.

The Bone-Eroding Finger was learned from the Blood-Transforming Divine Palm and assisted by the Three Yin Qi. It condensed the extremely Yin Qi at the fingertips. With one finger, it could corrode bones and cause people to feel miserable. The bones of the person who was hit would be broken, flesh and blood would fester, and the person would suffer unbearable pain, which would eventually turn into pus and blood.

The Yellow Springs Guiding Lamp is a method of killing the soul. It transforms Yin energy into a dim lamp, and wherever the light illuminates is the Yellow Springs Road. The soul of the person who is hit will become dazed and lose his way, as if he has fallen into the underworld, and will never be reborn.

The Netherworld Soul-Locking Chain is an invisible chain condensed from Yin energy that can lock up a person's soul, making it impossible for them to escape. Those who are caught in it feel like they are haunted by ghosts, with their souls imprisoned, like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Wonderful!"

Xiang Yuan nodded repeatedly, vaguely seeing the scene of Palu's sudden death while working overtime, and nodded with relief.

Free up workstations and hire cheap interns.

Opening the second treasure box, there was a thin booklet inside, recording the method created by the old demon Lingguang through his own exploration - the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Dharma Image.

This method was created with the Formless Seal as its skeleton, the Formless True Meaning as its flesh and blood, and the secret method of the Demon King's Palace as its skin.

It can only be regarded as a preliminary work, not perfect, and still has many shortcomings. The old demon Lingguang left a comment, stating that this method has a very high purpose and can only be practiced by those in the Spiritualization Stage. He praised it highly and regretted that he had not inherited the secret method of the Illusionary Dao, resulting in this method having the form of three heads but lacking the meaning of three heads.

The annotations were very detailed and included several descriptions of the formless seal method, which gave Xiang Yuan a lot of benefits.

First of all, the current approach of combining the strengths of various parties is correct, and we must continue to follow this path unswervingly.

Secondly, when one reaches the stage of spiritual transformation, the formless seal method can give rise to the true meaning of formlessness, reversing all forms to become formless, and the body becomes one with all things, gathering all forms in one.

When ordinary cultivators reach the Spirit Transformation Stage, they will put the laws of heaven and earth they have learned to use for their own benefit, and on this basis, forge magical instruments for the dual cultivation of body and soul.

The formless seal method is not about integrating the laws of heaven and earth into oneself, and obtaining an indestructible and powerful Dharma form.

A bit like the Seven Sages of the Celestial Demon Realm.

The difference is that the Seven Great Sages had no choice. The Wuxiang Seal Method combined the strengths of hundreds of schools and took the initiative to embark on this path.

As he wrote this, Lingguang's handwriting showed a bit more anger. When he obtained the Wuxiang Seal, he had already reached the Tongyou stage and could not go back to practice again, which resulted in his three-headed and six-armed Dharma image being unable to function. Every change would damage the foundation of his physical body. He was warning himself, who was starting a new life, to learn from the past and not make the same mistake a second time.

"Thank you for your guidance, I will remember it!"

Xiang Yuan was in awe, knowing that Uncle Hard Drive was a good elder who cared for the younger generation, but he didn't expect that despite his every word being so thoughtful and heart-wrenching, he still underestimated Uncle Hard Drive's kindness.

Good man!
After a 0.25 second silence, Xiang Yuan happily studied the three-headed, six-armed Dharma image. He put his skills into action, and with a shout of "change", the clothes on his back ripped apart, four hands grew out, and two more heads appeared on the left and right.

The true meaning of formlessness is missing, only the appearance is similar. The two heads on the left and right are motionless, and Palu and Lengxue are not online.

"When I reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage and obtain the true meaning of formlessness, perhaps I can have three thoughts online at the same time..."

"And then there is the Sun, Moon and Star Trinity Formation of the Xingxiu Palace..."

Looking far into the future, Xiang Yuan put away his Dharma image, drooling with greed, and urged Palu to work overtime as long as he could.

Palu is so calm, he can still suffer a little more!
"It's just that my clothes are a bit useless. I have to change them every time I transform. I'm saving money to get married..."

Xiang Yuan thought with a smile, then looked at the two treasure boxes beside him and said, "Incredible, there are actually masters out there. Let me see what you look like."

The third treasure box was opened, and inside was a cushion.

To be precise, it is a magic weapon called - the Enlightenment Cushion!
It looks ordinary and nothing magical. When the user sits cross-legged on it, he can calm his mind and soul, eliminate distracting thoughts, focus on one thing, and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth with twice the result with half the effort.

It can be used for defense, and can also keep the soul clear and bright, resist the invasion of external evil, overcome the inner demons, and stabilize the mind of Tao.

Generally speaking, those in the innate stage of Qianyuan Realm cannot use magic weapons, and if they can control them they must obtain authorization from the owner of the magic weapon. Only when they reach the spirit transformation stage can they control the magic weapon with ease, as if they were using one's own arm.

The enlightenment cushion was no exception. Xiang Yuan tried to drip blood on it to recognize its master, but failed, so he could not use it for defense. However, sitting cross-legged on it and comprehending the laws of heaven and earth still had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

"It's really a good baby. You can let Chan'er and the others try it out in the future. It's just a little crowded. If two people use it together, one of them has to sit on the lap."

Xiang Yuan nodded secretly. It didn't matter who sat on whose lap. Cultivation was a big thing. It was obviously a low level of thinking to worry about such a small issue.

Anyway, he doesn't care. He is devoted to the Tao and takes things as they come. He is not bothered by anything.

There were three treasure boxes, each one more surprising than the last. Xiang Yuan opened the last one with great anticipation, and what he saw was a piece of thin paper with only a few lines of words written on it.

The old demon Lingguang left a letter to himself who was reborn, mentioning the blood pool under the Earth Dragon Castle, stating that the blood pool was not a highly poisonous substance, but a precious treasure from heaven and earth. What was poisonous was the resentment, and as long as it was eliminated, the blood pool would have many wonderful uses.

The article also points out the connection between the blood pool and the ancient gods and the ancient gods’ clan, and boldly speculates that the blood pool is a spiritual object formed by the blood of the ancient gods that has been precipitated over thousands of years, and is the essence of blood medicine brewed by heaven and earth.

To resolve the resentment, one can start with the secret method of Huangquan Dao, 'Huangquan Mother Tree'. Only two people in Huangquan Dao master this secret method, one is the Taoist master who sits in reincarnation, and the other is the saint who has reincarnated many times.

The Taoist master is mysterious, and the old demon Lingguang doesn't know much about her. He only knows that she looks like a woman, and may be dead.

The Saint's figure is unpredictable and difficult to predict, and the old demon Lingguang rarely deals with her.

"The shadow of the Yellow Spring Mother Tree can dispel resentment..."

Xiang Yuan nodded silently. The first time he fell into the blood pool, he was able to refine the medicine and enter his body. Chan'er had made a great contribution, and there should be a tooth mark from her on his shoulder.

Let her drink!
The fourth treasure box was dispensable, but the first three treasure boxes gave him great surprise, so he generously let bygones be bygones and forgave Master Hard Drive.

He got some benefits and was happy in his heart, but he was disgusted and said disparagingly: "It's just average, like potato chips, it looks like a big bag, but there's actually not much in it."

After saying this, he smiled but said nothing.

"Jiejiejiejie————"

Uncle Hard Drive was good in every way, especially his death!
----

"Brother, that kid has been in there for quite a while and hasn't come out yet!"

"Why are you panicking? Are you worried that he might take the back door?"

"That's not the case. I'm worried that he has encountered a trap and has died. If that's the case, it would be a waste of time for us to just wait."

Makes sense!

"Brother, what do you say?"

"hold on."

"But what about the mission? If we miss the agreed time, the Palace Master will blame us and neither of us will have a good ending."

"..."

After hearing this, the senior brother in black could no longer sit still.

The moment he stood up, Xiang Yuan stepped out of the black light portal, with an ecstatic look on his face as if he had found a great opportunity.

The excitement of the spirit and the madness of the smile had already overwhelmed him. He had forgotten himself and everything else and was not on guard at all.

There is a broken butt!
good chance!
The two brothers looked at each other, and their bodies moved like lightning, turning into two black shadows and disappearing from the spot in an instant.

His movements were as swift as the wind, his breath-holding technique was superb, and he drew his sword halfway, suddenly bursting out with a chilling murderous intent that was captivating and terrifying.

Junior brother’s figure was like a dragon, the sword light was as fast as a startled wild goose, and the sharp edge went straight to the distant eyes.

The sword of the senior brother was dim and his figure was like a ghost. He circled silently to the far flank, and his sword was vicious and tricky, heading straight for the vital points in the chest and abdomen.

The two of them cooperated seamlessly, one bright and one dark, one fast and one hidden, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will be well-rested, lying in ambush and suddenly launching an attack, and they also have superb joint attack and assassination skills. Anyone else would be forced into a desperate situation and would surely die.

However, just when the sword was about to touch Xiang Yuan, his figure flashed and turned into three black shadows, escaping from the encirclement of the two men.

The swords of the two brothers crossed in the air, but only pierced the air.

Xiang Yuan stood not far away and said happily: "I thought it was you, it turns out you are the top killer of Xingxiu Palace. Why are there only two of you? Wouldn't it be better to add one more person to complete the power of heaven, earth and man?"

When their origins were revealed, the two brothers' expressions changed slightly, but they said nothing more and moved again.

The sword light was like a tide, sharp and fierce, and coupled with the method of releasing the true energy, it was like countless fine needles shot out, covering the sky and pressing towards the distance.

He took a step forward, put his right hand under his abdomen, leaned forward, and a white tiger jumped out from behind him, roaring and riding the wind, shaking the mountains and forests.

Then, he held the Jinglan Sword in his right hand and drew it out of the sheath in one go, swiftly and fiercely.

An unparalleled sharp edge burst out, a streak of white light swept across, and wherever it passed, the sword wave collapsed. The knife light crushed all obstacles along the way with a devastating force, and pounced in front of the two of them.

The two brothers held swords to protect themselves, but were unable to withstand the terrifying force and retreated again and again. Their sword-holding hands trembled, blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and their faces were full of fear.

We are all in the innate stage, we all have two eyes and one mouth, why are you so strong?
No, he is not in the innate stage! x2
The two looked at each other, saw the fear and retreat in each other's eyes, and immediately expressed their agreement.

If you can’t win, retreat quickly!
"Now that you're here, take my blow before you leave!"

Xiang Yuan walked forward with a knife in hand, like a lone star chasing the moon, and he took a step forward and appeared in front of the two men.

The speed was too fast, and the two brothers only saw a blurry afterimage, and they didn't even have time to react. In fear, they tried their best to summon the power of heaven and earth, controlling the protective qi and stacking the thickest armor.

Swish!
The camera turned and Xiang Yuan began to touch the corpse.

He took a letter from his senior brother's arms, stepped on the ground, and the soil rolled, sinking the two bodies into the ground. The surrounding rocks were rearranged, and the black portal where the treasure was hidden disappeared.

"Hey, the second in command of Dilongbao wants to meet you at a teahouse..."

"Which teahouse?"
