Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 34: Bone Removal and Blood Exchange, Tiger Demon (34 Thousand Two-in-One)

It became.

When Li Cunxiao heard Zhang Lishi's words, he immediately knew that he had made the right bet this time.

People are not created equal. How many people are limited by their birthplace? Sometimes, only those with extraordinary talent can even slightly transcend worldly barriers.

Although I, Li Cunxiao, don’t have that kind of talent, I have the vajra!
Seeing the speed of Qi and blood becoming perfect in just two months, even Zhang Lishi had to put aside his concerns and pass on his teachings to him, establishing a master-disciple relationship between them.

Even though it has not been made public to the outside world yet, the positions of the Li brothers in the escort agency are already different.

"Sanlang, today I will teach you the magic of seduction. You can get the resources you need for training from me later."

"Since you knew to come to see me privately, you must have heard about Ye Chengxiao's matter and the matter of becoming his disciple. I will wait until you break through the muscle realm before making it public."

"Also, since you've reached the stage of perfect Qi and Blood, you don't need to waste your energy on escorting. Yuelu, go back and tell your Uncle Cui that Li Cunxiao was brave and loyal in saving people this time, and transfer him to the warehouse to be a manager."

"Sanlang, how about this arrangement?"

Zhang Lishi mentioned a series of arrangements, including those related to cultivation and personnel transfers, and also took into account the confidentiality of information, etc. It was obvious that they had been planned in advance.

For Li Cunxiao, these were basically good news, so there was no reason to refuse.

“It all depends on the master’s arrangement.”

Zhang Lishi nodded with satisfaction and added another sentence.

"Also, let's have Mu Cha and Que'er study together from today. I've heard he's a smart kid. Que'er is lazy and should have had a companion to supervise and discipline him."

"The Chief Escort is embarrassing my brother. Why is there any need to supervise and discipline him? It is my two brothers who have to rely on the Chief Escort and the Third Lady."

Although the goodwill expressed in the other party's words was very clear, Li Cunxiao did not feel complacent at all. He remained respectful to both Zhang Lishi and Zhang Yuelu.

If Shi Tie were standing here, he could accept these words calmly, because he was not only the eldest disciple, but also a master of the third realm, and had made great contributions to the escort agency and Zhang Lishi.

Only when you have real things in your hands can you feel confident.

Now Li Cunxiao has only recognized Zhang Lishi as his master and disciple, and many aspects of the future will depend on this big brother. How could he be so stupid as to take these polite words seriously?
As expected, Zhang Lishi was more and more satisfied when he saw this. Without further ado, he began to explain the training method for breaking through the muscle realm after the Qi and blood were perfected. Zhang Yuelu left first.

It’s not that she can’t listen, on the contrary, she has heard it too many times. Zhang Lishi has put much more thought into his daughter than Shen He and others.

"What are muscles? The human body, in a nutshell, is made up of muscles, bones, skin, and flesh."

"A warrior at the first level cultivates his Qi and blood, and can fight tigers and wolves with his bare hands, and outrun horses. But that's the limit. He can't defend himself against bows, crossbows, swords, or spears. When facing an army, he can defeat ten men, but not a hundred."

"This is the upper limit of human nature. The amount of Qi and blood contained in our bones, muscles, and flesh is finite. Martial arts ancestors sought to break through this limit. When they found they couldn't solve the problem themselves, they naturally turned their attention to another kind of naturally powerful creature."

demon.

Li Cunxiao muttered to himself that as early as when he obtained the Sixteen Hands of Pure Yang in the black market, the cruelty of the martial arts in this world was revealed to him.

The Sixteen Hands of Pure Yang are methods of internal and external attack. How can the Tiger Demon Fist break the limits of the human body?

"Humans have limits, but demons do not. The art of seduction in martial arts is a mysterious fusion of the real and the unreal."

Zhang Lishi said this and turned back to the revolving table. He pressed some mechanism with his hand. Li Cunxiao only heard a slight sound of movement. The next moment, he took out a scroll and handed it to him.

Li Cunxiao took it with both hands, and after the other party nodded, he gently unfolded it with excitement.

In this painting, there is a majestic guardian deity.

This divine general has a red complexion, wears two-piece golden armor, has a dragon wrapped around his abdomen, a jade belt tied around his body, and a scarf draped over his shoulders, giving him an ethereal air.

But looking at his expression, he was furious, his eyes were wide open, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and his right arm was raised, looking very angry!
The brushstrokes are delicate and lifelike. But that's all. Li Cunxiao can't see any artistic conception or any strange feelings.

What does this have to do with Tiger Demon Fist?
Zhang Lishi saw his confusion and explained with a smile:
"So-called seduction magic, different martial arts, the methods are also different, but the most important three points."

"One is the great medicine, two is visualization, and three is the state of being on the verge of limit in both internal and external attack."

"What you hold in your hand is the fundamental diagram and visualization diagram of the Tiger Demon Fist, but what you see now is only half of the picture."

"half?"

Li Cunxiao suddenly understood after hearing this.

It is normal for a sect to pass on its inheritance by teaching its apprentices to starve themselves to death and to have some insurance measures.

Whether the secret manuals were separated or the secret codes were unique, it was the same. If the martial arts tradition wasn't so mysterious, the martial arts masters in Chuqiu County would have starved to death due to the flood of secret manuals on the black market.

"Eat this, and you'll see the other half of the original picture."

Li Cunxiao's eyes blurred, and Zhang Lishi was holding a sandalwood box. However, after opening it, the scene that greeted him made him shudder.

There were bugs all over it!

To be precise, it is some kind of dried insects that have been dried and processed, similar to fried silkworm pupae.

But the appearance of this insect is completely different from ordinary insects.

If he had to give a description, Li Cunxiao could only say that this thing was a centipede in tiger skin!
"Master, this."

Li Cunxiao swallowed his saliva, not because of greed, but because of fear.

Zhang Lishi had obviously seen similar reactions many times, so he didn't think it was strange. He picked up a dried worm and said jokingly:
"When I first taught Yue'er the fundamental diagram, she was much calmer than you."

"You don't have to provoke me."

Li Cunxiao took the dried insect with a wry smile. Holding it in his hand, he could find its strangeness even more clearly.

At first glance, this insect looks exactly like a thumb-sized tiger, with the same tiger face, claws, and tail.

But if you look closely, you will find that the tiger has two tails and eight pairs of tiger feet densely arranged on both sides of its slightly slender body. There is even a pair of white insect eyes on the tiger's forehead, and the slightly cracked tiger's mouth also looks like an insect's mouthparts.

This is really a big tiger with white forehead and hanging eyes.

"This Tiger Demon Worm is a demon that was raised using secret techniques. Although it's not as good as the meat fields that only the imperial court and aristocratic families have, it's already considered a top-quality product for those who practice the Tiger Demon Fist."

Zhang Lishi said with a bit of a bad taste, "Even if you break through the muscle realm in the future, you still have to eat."

Damn it!

Li Cunxiao knew he couldn't escape, so he made up his mind and threw the big insect into his mouth without even looking at it. He swallowed it with a gulp, enduring the strange taste of the furry, crispy and burnt food.

The familiar feeling of heat came over me, but it was within a clearly controllable range.

Zhang Lishi was right. Although the tiger demon looked a bit scary, the blood energy it contained was far stronger than the demon meat sold on the black market, almost 50% more, and the evil energy it contained was even less.

But what is the so-called meat field?
It is only owned by the imperial court and aristocratic families, so it must be more effective than this big beast?
However, these thoughts only flashed through Li Cunxiao's mind. The more special thing about this tiger demon was that after eating it, it was as if a layer of light red gauze covered the eyes. There was no change in other things, but when he turned his gaze to the fundamental map...
The divine general who was raising his arms and roaring angrily disappeared, and was replaced by a colorful red tiger that looked like blood and fire.

The red tiger sits on the ice field, motionless and silent, yet it undoubtedly occupies the center of the world in the painting.

The ice field was desolate and the snow was three feet deep, but the red tiger seemed to have a burning masculinity ready to burst out at any time, which would turn the world upside down in an instant!
In an instant, Li Cunxiao felt his heart begin to beat violently and uncontrollably, a powerful surge of blood flowing to every part of his body. He even thought he could hear the sound of new blood surging deep within his bone marrow.
Snapped

Li Cunxiao felt like he was being gently patted, instantly waking up from his meditation. Then, he felt a strong sense of emptiness in his stomach, and his forehead was wet. He wiped the back of his hand, which was covered with a layer of oily sweat.

"You were able to meditate for a quarter of an hour on your first try. It seems your will is even stronger than I thought."

Zhang Lishi watched from the side, with only satisfaction in his eyes, not much surprise.

The qi and blood have been full for two months, so isn't it normal for other parts to be stronger?

"A quarter of an hour?"

Li Cunxiao was taken aback. In his opinion, he was just in a daze for a moment, but when he closed his eyes, the outline of the image of the Red Tiger Roaring on the Icefield already appeared in his mind, but it was not very clear.

"When you are able to fully outline this fundamental diagram and control the flow of Qi and blood during visualization, you will be qualified to break through the muscles and tendons."

"Before that, every three days, you must consume the Tiger Demon Bug along with other demon meat. This can be considered as advance practice for the seduction magic."

"How is it? Although this tiger demon looks scary, it should be much better than the demon meat on the black market, right?"

"really."

Li Cunxiao was shocked after he said this, and then he realized that he was being tricked, but Zhang Lishi just waved his hand when he saw this.

"Eat the demon flesh if you want. If you achieved your current results solely through your own hard work, I would start to doubt whether you are a demon in human skin."

"But from today on, since I'll be providing you with resources, don't buy meat on the black market anymore. Not only are you inexperienced and can't tell the real thing from the fake, but the Chai Gang's skills in preparing demon meat are also poor."

"The more blood and energy that remain, the more evil energy that remains. If you seek temporary advancement, you will inevitably run the risk of becoming possessed and insane in the future."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Li Cunxiao naturally agreed seriously, but he would not say what was in his heart.

A lot of evil spirits? A lot of evil spirits is better!

Zhang Lishi looked at the respectful look of the young man in front of him and was not sure how much he had heard.

The most taboo thing in the path of demonic martial arts is to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. He has been wandering around for half his life and has seen countless geniuses fail in the face of this problem.

But there is no rush.

Anyway, it was only the first day of training, and there would be plenty of opportunities for personal instruction. Furthermore, without a powerful elixir, the demon was ultimately illusory, and for warriors who weren't at the muscle level and nurturing a demon, there was no such thing as possessed by a demon.

A warrior with Qi and blood was not worthy of going astray. Moreover, he knew that Li Cunxiao was short of money. With the resources provided by him, the other party would be stupid enough to continue buying meat on the black market.

"Okay, that's all for today. If you have any questions in the future, you can come back here and ask me after the twilight hour."

"Also, I want to remind you that the seduction magic you are practicing now is only a part of the whole content."

Li Cunxiao was not surprised to hear this, he just bowed respectfully;

"Disciple understands"

"No," Zhang Lishi shook his head.
"It's not that I won't teach you, but when it comes to seduction magic, you often only have one chance to try. If you fail once, your already damaged body won't be able to withstand it a second time."

"You've already seen our Tiger Demon Fist, Great Medicine, and Visualization. As for the remaining internal and external attack methods, I'll have to give you some pointers."

Zhang Lishi's tone unconsciously became cold and low, and the warning in his eyes made Li Cunxiao's heart tighten.

"Remove the bones to exchange blood, and use the marrow to restrain the demon."

Remove bones and exchange blood, use marrow to suppress the devil?
Li Cunxiao silently chewed on the blood and horror contained in these eight words. Unknowingly, the sun was about to rise. In the distance, he could faintly hear Cui Yao's loud voice in the training ground as he taught the guys who were doing morning exercises.

He thought for a moment and asked one last question:
"Master, what exactly is the difference between a warrior in the Muscle Realm and a warrior in the Qi and Blood Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lishi stretched out his hands, and his red round-necked robe embroidered with gold thread slipped off, revealing his sturdy forearms.

A light touch of the two wrists.

Dang~~~
"Tiger boxing strengthens the bones, and strong bones lead to strong tendons."

"When the Tiger Demon Fist breaks through the muscle realm, it will become like steel bones and iron, with immense strength added to the body."

"Even the crossbows used by the city guards wouldn't be able to penetrate my ribs."

When he heard the sound of metal clashing with flesh and blood, Li Cunxiao clenched his fists tightly and his eyes showed a fiery look.

Tiger Demon Fist is great! Tiger Demon Fist must be practiced!
Li Cunxiao put away the scroll and left the study. The Tiger Demon Worms and other resources would naturally be delivered by someone else, so there would be no need to carry large and small bags in and out, which would arouse suspicion.

"Hey, Li Cunxiao?"

Shen He walked hurriedly, holding two long silk packages in his hands. He saw Li Cunxiao coming out of the inner court of the escort agency from a distance. When the other party saw him, his face was normal and he said, "What are you doing?"

"Captain Shen, you're here so early?"

"Hahaha, a day's plan begins in the morning. Did you just come out from your master's place?"

"Yes, the chief escort said I was quite diligent, so he transferred me to the warehouse and stopped escorting for the time being."

Li Cunxiao was unhurried. These were all the statements Zhang Lishi had given him to say to the outside world, and there was nothing he couldn't say.

After hearing this, Shen He did not doubt it.

Because Zhang Lishi is indeed such a hands-on person, summoning escorts is a very common thing for him.

Moreover, Li Cunxiao saved Li Cheng last time while escorting the convoy, which was considered a meritorious service. He was transferred to the warehouse to avoid the hardship of sleeping in the open air. It was just a normal way of winning people's hearts, nothing surprising.

"It can't be that Master has some crazy idea and wants to take Li Sanlang as his disciple, right?"

Shen He himself was amused by this sudden idea. Li Cunxiao didn't know what the other party was laughing at, but he had just obtained the method and was hugging the thick thighs, so he was in a good mood and laughed too.

Shen He: What are you laughing at?
Li Cunxiao: I think of happy things.

After Li Cunxiao walked away, Shen He came to Zhang Lishi's study and his expression became nervous and restrained.

"Master"

"Oh? It's Shen He, come in."

Zhang Lishi was sitting on the chair. He had just accepted a good apprentice and was in a good mood. Even Shen He, whom he had disliked recently, began to look favorably upon him.

"Master Zhang seems to be in a good mood today. Could it be that his anger towards me has finally subsided?"

Shen He was delighted. He had racked his brains to win back his master's favor during this period. Seeing that the time was right, he quickly picked up the two silk wrappings as if presenting a treasure:
"Master, I see that the Autumn Hunt is approaching and Junior Sister Yuelu is about to break through, so I asked someone to buy these two good bows for Junior Sister to use during the Autumn Hunt."

"Oh?"

Zhang Lishi, upon hearing this, unwrapped the two packages with great interest. Surprisingly, they contained two unstrung bow arms. However, he was an expert archer and horseman, and after feeling them, he knew they were good items. Thinking of Li Cunxiao, who had just left, he couldn't help but smile.
"Your gift is exactly what I want."

"Two, just right."
