Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 181 180 Violent Qi Pills, Yellow Court Great Completion (One update today)
Taiyi Zhenren stood at the door of the thatched hut, looking at the uninvited guest with a long face.

"Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush."

Although Qi Ci was there to get something for free, he didn't lose any of his momentum at this moment:
"Of course it's Li Cunxiao's business. What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren was immediately startled, wondering if his attempt to steal the master's skills through a dream had been discovered.

But this shouldn't be happening. The golden lotus is about to ripen, and he hasn't dreamed of it for several days because of this magical creature.

How was it discovered?

Are you trying to trick me?
"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Qi Ci had anticipated this, seeing the old Taoist priest's refusal to admit it.

The other party's statement actually reveals their guilty conscience.

"Stop playing dumb. If you didn't pass on that burning wood knife, how could Li Cunxiao have gotten it from a bargain at a street stall?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Taiyi's mind immediately flashed back to many of his past misdeeds, and now he was genuinely feeling a bit guilty.

After all, when Qi Ci took on his apprentices, he solemnly vowed that he would not compete with others for apprentices.

In the blink of an eye, the plank road was used as a cover for a secret operation, and even the reliance that Li Cunxiao had switched to was now in the cave behind him.

Now that the person in question has come knocking on our door, even with over a hundred years of thick skin, we can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It's true that I passed down the Burning Wood Blade technique, but it was because I couldn't bear to let a genius go to waste. In the end, isn't it you who benefits the most?"

Upon hearing Taiyi's tone soften, Qici was overjoyed, thinking to himself that things were looking promising.

"That's why I can speak to you calmly today. Brother Dao, you should be glad that I'm a reasonable person, otherwise, hmph."

"Now that things are out in the open, let's not hide anything good; let's bring it out openly."

Ok?
The more Taiyi Zhenren listened, the more uneasy he felt, and he almost laughed in anger.

So it turns out they just tried to get something for nothing?
"You fat monk, how come I never realized you were so wicked? You tried to bribe your disciple with my things, hoping to get something for nothing?"

Qi chuckled and patted his belly.
"Didn't you say before that even if you couldn't take Li Cunxiao as your disciple, you were still willing to make a good connection?"

"Anyway, I see you have so many good things in your pocket that you can't use them all. Help me mentor Li Cunxiao. This child is exceptionally talented, and his future achievements will surely be no less than yours or mine."

Do you even need to tell me?
Taiyi Zhenren rolled his eyes, but after his anger subsided, he realized that the other party's suggestion was actually feasible.

Both he and Qici have been secretly observing Li Cunxiao for three or four months now.

Currently, the senior monk is in the lead, but the old Taoist priest is ready to overtake him at any time.

The two hindered each other, which was not actually conducive to Li Cunxiao's development.

Taiyi Zhenren is currently preoccupied with cultivating the Golden Lotus and has been too busy to even replenish the Linglong Pagoda.

The upper four floors of the Linglong Pagoda are all important alchemy materials, and no matter how much he indulged Li Cunxiao, he would never allow him to squander them.

Taiyi was always serious about alchemy; otherwise, he wouldn't have been too busy disciplining Li Qingtong in the first place.

On the other hand, Qi Ci's family was not wealthy enough because of his philanthropy. Especially now that Li Cunxiao was not far from the completion of the Yellow Court stage and would soon embark on the cultivation of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

However, he had not yet gathered all the necessary elixirs and medicines.

Both have their own awkward situations, but if they can come together, with Taiyi providing the resources, and Qici undergoing the trial, it would be a win-win situation.

So the fat monk's suggestion, which at first glance seemed a bit excessive, was exactly what Taiyi wanted to hear, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

But of course, he couldn't say that outwardly. If he agreed too readily, it would only arouse Qici's suspicion.

"You wish," Taiyi thought confidently, his expression becoming arrogant again.

"You, Qi Ci, are also a top-tier expert in the world. Is there anything you can't handle, that you need my help?"

"I think Li Cunxiao is currently at the Yellow Court Realm, and what you want is the Stone Marrow, right?"

As he spoke, the old Taoist reached into his wide sleeve and pulled out a transparent crystal gourd. Inside, the milky white chalcedony was crystal clear, with a texture between water and paste.

When gently shaken, it even sparkles with golden glitter in the sunlight.

"Mountains and marshes communicate, and stalactites flow with fluids. Yin and Yang interact, giving birth to the ultimate truth."

"Stalactites are the essence of mountain bones and the marrow of heaven and earth. Consuming them can lighten the mind and body, and they are the first choice of spiritual objects for opening up the eight extraordinary meridians."

"Unfortunately, they are all controlled by the imperial court and major sects and holy lands, and it is impossible to buy any outside."

Taiyi Zhenren revealed an annoying smile and moved closer to Qici, whose face was covered in black lines.

"Are the people at Qinglong Temple really so heartless? They won't give you even a little bit?"

The senior monk said with a stern face, "That's none of your concern."

"Give it to me or not, just say so."

"Of course I'll give it to you," he said before the words were even finished, and the crystal gourd was tossed up and landed steadily in Qi Ci's hands.

The latter's face lit up with joy, fearing that the other party might change their mind. With a swift movement, the gourd was already in the bag.

After he finished packing his things, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was still somewhat puzzled:
"You gave it to me so easily, what are you planning to do?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask what your plans are for Li Cunxiao. Are you going to let him continue to stay at the Medicine King's Academy and learn alchemy from that little monk?"

Taiyi Zhenren spoke with a hint of disdain in his words.

What else? If I teach you, wouldn't that be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter?
Qi Ci pursed his lips, but didn't try to hide it.

"Brother Dao should also be able to see that the Great Qin Dynasty is already on the verge of collapse. When chaos descends, even sects and holy lands cannot remain uninvolved."

"If you want to protect yourself, strength is the most important thing. So I will definitely test Li Cunxiao more."

“The Ming Cult has been making quite a few moves lately, flirting with Huang Chao. Although they are currently lying low, they are still a menace.”

"Since Li Cunxiao has a bounty on his head, let's catch him like a turtle in a jar and see what kind of fish we can catch."

Taiyi Zhenren was somewhat displeased by the implication in Qici's words, which were all meant to make him back down, but he couldn't refute them.

Louguandao originally rose to power by supporting the Dragon Court, and its location is at the border of Gyeonggi Province and Hadong Province. If the world falls into chaos in the future, it will be the first to be affected. It is self-evident who this so-called "sacred land of sects that cannot stay out of it" is.

But right now he was only concerned about Li Cunxiao's affairs, and when he heard what the other party said, his heart stirred.

“I’ve noticed that Li Cunxiao has been traveling a lot lately. It turns out that this is a trial you arranged.”

"Alright then. You can go fishing, but I'll have to choose the spot."

"How about this flat-topped mountain right here at our feet?"

Well, you're still up to no good!
Just as Qi was about to refuse, the other party spoke again leisurely:
"I can give you a Power Boost Pill first. Later, when Li Cunxiao comes to Pingdingshan, I can take out some good things and put them around the mountain as small rewards."

Qi Ci ultimately agreed to Taiyi's request.

He wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, the other party was offering far too much.

This is a naked conspiracy.

The high monk, struggling with insufficient savings, found it difficult to refuse the opportunity to get something for free.

However, there is also a risk that if one is not careful, one's own apprentice may be deceived by the sweet talk of the bullfighting dog.

We need to increase the pressure on Li Cunxiao.

With that thought in mind, the monk strode forward with incredible speed and arrived at the Flying Tiger Escort Agency in the blink of an eye.

As soon as they arrived at Li Cunxiao's courtyard, they saw the other party holding a snake spear, slashing and thrusting.

The purple flame trident transformed and soared, while a giant python formed from condensed flames coiled around its body. Within it, one could almost see three layers of hell overlapping, with wails and cries of agony echoing in the air.

"I was only gone for a short while, and you've already mastered the Fire Spear technique?"

Qi Ci had also practiced this superior martial art, so he could tell at a glance that the opponent had mastered the third move, Hell of All Forms, to a high degree, and did not seem to have just learned it.

This is simply too shocking. "Could it be that the battle at Hongfu Temple had some impact on him?"

"To be able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Such talent is simply terrifying."

Qi Ci stood silently on the roof, completely unaware of his arrival, while the young man below was immersed in the circulation and changes of his true energy.

"A superior martial art is indeed profound. It not only concerns the physical body and the manipulation of internal energy, but also involves the spirit."

The ten-foot-long spear trembled in his palms, like a restless venomous dragon or python.

Li Cunxiao practiced for half an hour, his whole body was covered in a fine layer of sweat, but he didn't feel tired at all, and his eyes were as bright as torches.

"The Fiery Hellfire Spear is based on the concept of the Eight Hot Hells. It is extremely powerful and even surpasses the Holy King's Revolving Fist."

"The former represents the terror of life and death in hell, and the merciless karmic retribution of heaven."

"The latter represents the righteous and just power of the Holy King, who subdues all things with the righteous law."

"Different martial arts have different inner spirit and artistic conception, which also have different effects on the mindset of the martial artist."

"Therefore, it's no wonder that martial arts based on demons are classified as low-grade, while the subjugation magic of Taoism and Buddhism is classified as high-grade."

"The difference in quality is evident from the very conception of the idea."

Practicing martial arts, reading, and contemplating—these are the things Li Cunxiao has always persisted in.

Even if he sometimes breaks through a bottleneck thanks to the Vajra Pestle, he doesn't think that everything is fine once he reaches a certain level.

Instead, they will carefully review and analyze their successes.

The more you grow, the more problems you can solve, and the greater the power of the vajra (diamond).

Qi Ci naturally had no idea what his disciple was thinking, but seeing the other's focused expression while practicing martial arts, he felt very relieved.

"To master a high-grade martial art in just two months, such talent already surpasses mine."

"It seems that sometimes, we really can't follow the rules."

His mind quietly changed. After nightfall, when Li Cunxiao was about to refine his true energy as usual, a wave of sleepiness suddenly washed over him.

"coming?"

Like a diver plunging into deep water, and then emerging again, the scene before me was completely taken over by the enormous Bodhi tree.

'Is it that senior monk from the Buddhist sect this time? I guess it's because they've accumulated enough merit.'

'It's a pity that Dongwang Mugong has been silent lately. Could it be that the golden ring has run out of power? Or has it become unusable?'

As I pondered, pale gold characters appeared one by one on the large tree in front of me.

"Well done on this mission."

As always, he was concise and to the point. Li Cunxiao instinctively wanted to say a few words of modesty, but the next moment, an unfamiliar voice rang in his ears:

"With a large number of Buddhist believers, and the opening of many convenient channels in recent years, the number of people selling monk certificates for profit is countless."

"The place is a mixed bag, full of good and bad. If we don't get our bones scraped and the poison removed in time, the monks will sooner or later be usurped by the demons."

Ok? !

Li Cunxiao's eyes widened. As the voices spoke, a hazy figure was vaguely outlined on the Bodhi tree in front of him. He couldn't see it clearly, but he could vaguely recognize that it was a fat monk.

"Senior, you..."

This elusive Buddhist elder, who had been hiding for so long, finally revealed himself, causing the monk to be deeply moved.

However, the other party seemed to have other considerations; although they showed themselves, they didn't show themselves much.

"Ten good deeds and one martial art as promised, here you go."

The golden Bodhi leaf flew out as before and landed between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a flood of knowledge rushed through his mind. However, Li Cunxiao was surprised to find that the other party had not only given him the second and third parts of the Holy King's Wheel Fist, but also the rest of the complete book.

Now, as long as Li Cunxiao has enough killing intent, he can break through the Bronze Wheel and Silver Wheel in one fell swoop and directly reach the perfect state of the Golden Wheel.

At that time, the power of the four Jambudvipas will be bestowed upon him, the golden wheel will turn, and the power will be unimaginably terrifying.

"This time, you not only dealt with the ringleader and his accomplices, but you also left Zhijian to handle the aftermath. This will allow the people of Gu County to breathe a sigh of relief."

"We are here to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, but we cannot manage everything in the world. We can only do what we can and cannot turn a blind eye to what is happening."

Li Cunxiao listened to the other party's words of advice, and many guesses came to mind.

"I have learned a great deal."

"Also, you have now opened six main channels, which is indeed very fast, but you should not be complacent about it."

"It should be known that above the Yellow Court's perfection, there is the Great Perfection. After the Twelve Regular Meridians are perfected, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians follow."

Li Cunxiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked for guidance:
"Please give me some advice, senior."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ci slowly said:

"The Eight Extraordinary Meridians are eight meridians that are different from the Twelve Regular Meridians."

These eight meridians are not directly connected to the internal organs, but they can regulate the operation of the twelve primary meridians and supplement their deficiencies.

The Du Meridian, Ren Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, Yin Qiao Meridian, and Yang Qiao Meridian—opening any one of these eight meridians can significantly increase a martial artist's true qi reserves, making their foundation more solid.

In particular, the Ren and Du meridians, two of the eight extraordinary meridians, are the main meridians of the body. The Du meridian governs all the Yang meridians in the body and is known as the "Sea of ​​Yang Meridians".
The Ren meridian governs all the Yin meridians of the body and is known as the "Sea of ​​Yin Meridians".

The Ren and Du meridians are the most difficult to open and carry the greatest risk. However, once opened, the Yin and Yang meridians merge into one, forming the Yellow Court Qi Sea. The abundance of true Qi is almost inexhaustible.

"If I can open up my extraordinary meridians and cultivate my Qi Sea as long as my breath continues, then will I be able to withstand the consumption of the Wind and Fire Wheel?"

When Li Cunxiao opened his eyes and woke up, his mind was still filled with the words Qi Ci had said.

But then, without thinking, my eyes swept across the table and I suddenly noticed a porcelain vase on it.

Li Cunxiao was already used to it and assumed it was another Qi-building pill. However, when he picked it up, he clearly felt that the weight was wrong.

When the bottle was uncorked, a strange fragrance filled his nostrils, and Li Cunxiao felt a strange hunger.

It's not the spleen and stomach, but the dantian.

Below the porcelain vase are small characters that appear to have been randomly etched on the table with a finger.

"A single Qi-Boosting Pill can open up an entire meridian?!"

So exaggerated?

Li Cunxiao swallowed hard, suppressing his impulse, and carefully observed the Explosive Qi Pill, relying on the pharmacology he had learned during this period.

The color and appearance are both excellent, and the purity and balance of the medicinal power can be felt from the aroma of the pill, with absolutely no dryness.

For some reason, it felt somewhat familiar. Not the pills themselves, but the technique.
After pondering for a moment, there were still some things he couldn't figure out, after all, he was only a novice in alchemy.

"Let's eat first and talk about it later."

Li Cunxiao flicked his finger, and the elixir entered his mouth.

A moment later, the effects of the medicine dissipated. At first, he felt comfortable, but later it became excessively hot, even scalding.

That was the rapid transformation and accumulation of Yanmo True Qi, like a lake of lava, making the Nezha in the dantian look like a god of war in fire.

"Hiss! Such strong medicinal power. This is just the right time to open up the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian in one go."

With a single thought, true energy surges into the Hidden White Acupoint like a river.

The previously solid barrier now resembles a mud dam, crumbling in an instant.

The surging Flaming True Qi flowed through Dadu, Taibai, Gongsun, Shangqiu, Sanyinjiao, Lougu, Diji, Yinlingquan, Xuehai, Jimen, and Chongmen.
Finally, a red vein that starts from the big toe and ends under the tongue is drawn out.

The Yellow Court Realm has been perfected!
