Chapter 264 Nine Luminaries Devouring Technique

Xu Yunfan sighed, "They died horribly, they're all dried up now."

As he spoke, he turned slightly to the side.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Teng Lingchuan's expression froze slightly, and he couldn't help but say coldly, "Take me to see it!"

"It's not impossible."

Xu Yunfan said quietly, "Have you cultivated the Nine Luminaries Qi Devouring Technique? If your blood and qi are not strong enough, you might be completely drained."

"What a joke." Teng Lingchuan said coldly, "The Nine Luminaries Absorption Technique is a required method for true disciples of the Nine Luminaries Sect. I have naturally already learned it. So lead the way."

"Just when you're feeling sleepy, someone hands you a pillow."

Xu Yunfan chuckled softly and moved closer like a ghost.

So fast!

Teng Linchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he wanted to retreat and dodge, but Xu Yunfan's five fingers stretched out like a dragon emerging from the sea, gripping the other's shoulder like an iron clamp.

Just as Teng Linchuan was about to struggle, he felt a scorching force seep into his shoulder blade, instantly sealing off his blood and qi.

His legs went weak and he almost knelt down, but Xu Yunfan grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

"After practicing for so long without any progress, and not even having perfected the training of muscles, bones, and skin, you're rushing into the outer three-combination? Are you just here to die in this secret realm?"

Xu Yunfan leaned close to his ear, his voice slightly deep, "Your Tianquan Peak's top disciple, Zhou Tianyan, just became nourishment for the Blood Sacrifice Jade. You're lucky you didn't go in with him. Being weak can sometimes be an advantage."

Teng Lingchuan was terrified, yet his body trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat soaked through his inner shirt.

When did Xu Yunfan become so strong that I couldn't even dodge him?

Zhou Tianyan is probably really dead inside.

He was merely ordered to meet Zhou Tianyan outside, never expecting to run into Xu Yunfan. He thought he could easily subdue him, but unexpectedly, a true dragon emerged from the White Jade Palace.

"Brother Xu, please spare me! I... I was just following orders..."

Under the threat of death, Teng Lingchuan forced a smile onto his face, a smile that carried an unprecedented fawning quality.

"Brother Xu, we became friends after a fight, why did it come to this? Let's sit down and talk it over."

"Without further ado."

Before Teng Lingchuan could say anything more, Xu Yunfan grabbed him and leaped onto a cliff outside the palace, then casually slammed him to the ground.

Below the cliff, clouds and mist surged, and the distant roars of beasts could be faintly heard—it was the perfect place for interrogation.

He crouched down, a wisp of crimson dragon energy igniting at his fingertips, which he waved in front of Teng Lingchuan: "I ask, you answer. If there is a single falsehood,"

The energy suddenly transformed into crimson flames, shooting high and singing off much of Teng Lingchuan's hair, highlighting his terrified and distorted face.

"What is the general formula of your Nine Luminaries Sect's 'Nine Luminaries Qi Devouring Technique'?"

Xu Yunfan got straight to the point.

Teng Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, a troubled expression on his face: "This...this is a core secret of the sect. I once swore a solemn oath that I would never pass it on without the permission of my sect elders. Brother Xu, how about we exchange it for something else..."

"Oh?"

With a flick of his fingertip, Xu Yunfan sent the Crimson Dragon's energy burrowing into the opponent's skin like a venomous snake.

Teng Lingchuan screamed in agony, his whole body convulsing, and spiderweb-like crimson lines appeared under his skin, as if magma was flowing in his veins.

"I said! I said!"

Teng Lingchuan was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. He had a smooth life since childhood and was exceptionally talented. According to his master, Yin Hong, his talent was no less than that of Zhou Tianyan.

Having never experienced pain before, he was utterly unable to withstand the corrosive influence of this strange energy. The agony was like being slowly sliced ​​to death by a thousand knives. "The general principle is 'Nine Luminaries Revolve, Devouring Heaven and Earth, Qi Piercing the Starry Sky'... But... but the subsequent cultivation must be combined with the sect's secret 'Nine Luminaries Star Chart,' otherwise, a backlash is inevitable!"

Xu Yunfan narrowed his eyes.

The incantation matched the traces of internal energy he had observed in Zhou Tianyan, but it was clearly only superficial.

He sneered and pressed his palm against Teng Lingchuan's dantian. There was a major acupoint there, where meridians intertwined, which could cause pain that reached the bone marrow. He suddenly activated his Pure Yang Qi Gong, and his Pure Yang internal energy seeped into Teng Lingchuan's flesh and meridians like molten lava in an instant.

"what!"

Teng Lingchuan screamed in agony, his flesh and blood burning as if branded with a hot iron, his blood and qi leaking out wildly.

Seeing Xu Yunfan's expressionless face, Teng Lingchuan knew that if he hesitated any longer, he would probably be tortured to death.

His face was contorted, and his voice was hoarse as he recounted the Nine Luminaries Breath-Devouring Technique.

'You've gained some understanding of the Nine Luminaries Absorption Technique.'

Seeing the words "Nine Luminaries Devouring Qi Technique (Beginner)" appear on the skill section of the attribute panel, a more detailed explanation of the Nine Luminaries Devouring Qi Technique flowed through my mind.

"I see……"

Xu Yunfan murmured.

The essence of the Nine Luminaries Absorption Technique is like forging weapons by repeatedly hammering blood and qi, allowing one's own blood and qi to be continuously condensed, thereby continuously improving the quality of blood and qi. It is similar to his Crimson Dragon Coiling Mountain Force.

However, the Nine Luminaries Sect clearly kept the key parts extremely hidden, and ordinary disciples could not access the true teachings at all. If it weren't for the attribute panel, they would have no way of knowing these things.

Although Teng Lingchuan is known as a true disciple, his mastery of the Nine Luminaries Breath-Swallowing Technique is only half-baked, and he hasn't explained many of the key points clearly.

He released his grip, and Teng Lingchuan was limp as a rag doll, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with despair, his whole body convulsing and spasming.

Xu Yunfan lifted him up and looked at Teng Lingchuan with a cold gaze.

Seeing Xu Yunfan's cold gaze, Teng Lingchuan quickly struggled to get up.

"Wait, wait! I have something else to say. I also know about other secret martial arts of the Nine Luminaries Sect. The one I cultivate is the Nine Luminaries Ten Capitals True Force, which can gather primordial true energy and directly reach the ninth realm of supreme Qi cultivation!"

"Oh?"

Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Nine Luminaries and Ten Capitals True Strength?"

Xu Yunfan's heart stirred, and he slightly restrained the crimson dragon energy at his fingertips.

He had indeed heard of this technique, one of the core secrets of the Nine Luminaries Sect. It was rumored that when mastered, one could condense the "Ten Capital Star Fiends," transforming their strength into qi, which would be inexhaustible and could directly lead to the peak of the ninth realm of martial arts.

Seeing that Xu Yunfan seemed interested, Teng Lingchuan hurriedly said, "This technique requires the Nine Luminaries Absorption Technique as its foundation. Blood and Qi are divided into nine luminaries. One luminary is lit up. When the nine luminaries are complete, the power generated by the blood and Qi is like surging waves, like an inverted galaxy. The power is nurtured like a river, generating true Qi, and its power..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yunfan suddenly sneered, "Unfortunately, you haven't even lit up the Three Luminaries."

He had already used his pure Yang internal energy to examine the other party's blood and qi. This person's blood and qi were mixed and his strength was scattered. He had probably swallowed pills and flesh but had not refined the essence.

Teng Lingchuan's expression changed drastically, and he was about to speak again, but Xu Yunfan had already lost patience.

The Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace suddenly swept across, its nine layers of cloud and fire patterns bursting with dark blue lightning, like a crimson dragon biting a throat, instantly shattering Teng Lingchuan's flesh and blood.

"puff!"

Teng Lingchuan's chest collapsed, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out.

He staggered backward, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You...you didn't even covet the cultivation technique..."

"greedy?"

Xu Yunfan flicked the blood off his mace and said indifferently, "If you tell me now, I can still get it. Maybe I can spare your life."
