Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 149 Six Desires

"Ahhh~"

A sharp roar pierced the clouds and tore through the air, echoing for miles around.

Rocks collapsed, a fierce wind howled, vegetation was pulverized, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Most of the creatures in the vicinity were killed instantly by the shock. The few that survived huddled in a corner, defecating and urinating, trembling with fear.

Four or five miles away, a large, deer-shaped monster convulsed all over, turned tail and ran away with all its might.

Within a radius of ten miles, a small wave of beasts even appeared.

This is the terror of demon-level power.

It originates from the crushing of life levels.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Qin Shuang's hair was disheveled, tears of blood seeped from the corners of her eyes, and a hole was opened in her chest, through which her writhing heart could be vaguely seen.

Beneath its feet were countless craters, sculpted by blood, from which wisps of smoke rose.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

He took a deep breath, still shaken, with deep apprehension in his eyes.

The demonic spider, of unknown species, had awakened a terrifying demonic art that could exploit weaknesses in the soul, causing people to become hopelessly entangled in the seven emotions and six desires...

Ultimately, they became lost within it, as if they had been struck by a soul-separating spell, leaving only their husks standing stiffly on the spot.

Unless one's mind is perfect and one's soul is without flaws, or one carries a magical artifact or talisman to protect one's soul, one will inevitably be taken advantage of.

In particular, people like him, who have significant psychological vulnerabilities, are especially vulnerable to the demonic spider.

"He's injured...he's bleeding a lot..."

Qin Shuang lowered her head and pressed her hand against the wound on her chest. Her muscles and bones rubbed together, her internal organs roared, and a black and white mist swirled around her, causing the wound to heal rapidly.

The demonic spider itself was not highly skilled, probably having only recently become a demon, but its strength was terrifying, comparable to a Qi Refiner who had just entered the minor stage of cultivation.

He had risked his life, smashing its back with a single blow to force it to leave.

"There's clearly Liu Sheng's presence in this cave, so why is there a demonic spider here?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Qin Shuang's eyes, as if she were deep in thought:
"Could it be that he accidentally wandered into this place and was eaten by this demonic spider?"

He took a deep breath and said regretfully:

"Now that even the Spirit Rhinoceros Gu is dead, it's difficult to verify... and we've lost the chance to obtain that first-grade 'natural artifact'."

However, this also dashed that bitch Caiyu's hopes of breaking through to the next level, hehehe..."

A wicked smile crept across his face. He struck a pose for a moment, then turned and left.

The prince's men have already set off towards Black Wind Mountain.

Next, they need to sow discord within the imperial court, create chaos, and delay the inevitable.

How to create chaos?
of course--

death!

I'll be able to eat my fill tonight!

Hehehe...

Once I've fully recovered, I'll join forces with Senior Sister Xiao tomorrow to take down that bitch Caiyu and drain her dry!
Hehehehe... Hahahaha...

"Pooh!"

Liu Sheng spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and his breathing immediately became much easier.

He stepped on the ground, and the earth's energy surged in from the soles of his feet, transforming into blood, energy, and physical strength, filling his entire body and restoring him to his normal state.

Although this hermaphrodite is disgusting and perverted, his strength is indeed formidable.

In their previous encounter, he preemptively attacked with sorcery, followed by a powerful offensive that severely injured him.

But the man quickly regained his footing and began to fight back.

They fought back and forth, evenly matched.

If Liu Sheng is indeed a Six Desires Puppet Spider, he could gradually accumulate advantages and eventually win the battle.

But he is not; his stamina can only last for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Once exhausted, he will be forced to revert to his original form.

By then, he would be no match for Qin Shuang.

So, to be on the safe side, he traded blows, forcing Qin Shuang to retreat, and then took the opportunity to escape.

Little did they know, the hermaphrodite also harbored such thoughts.

It's like trying to fight a wolf with a stick – both sides are afraid and wary of each other.

Fortunately, the spider avatar's injuries can be healed by consuming spirit points.

It cost 500 points this time, no big deal!

My spiritual points are almost gone. I need to work harder to earn more.

(Note: A Great Spirit-level avatar can be resurrected after death by consuming 1000 Spirit Points; a Demon-level avatar requires at least 5000 Spirit Points to be resurrected after death.)
However, this actual battle with Qin Shuang did test the Six Desires Puppet Spider's combat strength.

It can rival a Qi cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Dao.

The other three avatars—the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, the Golden-Eyed Blood Leopard, and the Golden-Toothed White Elephant—are all of similar strength.

The only difference is the fighting style and method, which are suited to different situations.

An hour later.

Having fully recovered, Liu Sheng transformed back into the Six Desires Spider and spun silk to weave several garments.

The new spider silk clothing is more concealed and has a stronger ability to hide one's presence; it should be able to conceal the Lingxi fragrance and prevent being tracked and detected.

After a flurry of activity, another half hour had passed.

As darkness fell, he returned to the cave of the Hehuan Sect.

As soon as Xie Yuan led him inside and they passed through the magic array at the cave entrance, he saw two graceful figures, one in a flower and the other in green.

Huh?! This bitch still has the nerve to show her face?!

Liu Sheng pursed his lips, but did not expose him directly.

After all, although he is currently 80-90% certain, it is only a guess and he has no solid evidence.

Judging from Lady Caiyu's cheerful expression, this woman is unaware that she has been betrayed.

"Liu Lang, you've come!"

Lady Caiyu rushed forward excitedly, grabbed Liu Sheng, and refused to let go.

But he was afraid that his "medicinal plant" might encounter an accident.

"I have prepared a powerful elixir for you to cleanse your internal organs, come quickly!"

As she spoke, she pulled Liu Sheng into the inner cave, where a bronze cauldron was burning red-hot and emitting medicinal fumes.

"My senior sister almost dug out her dowry for you..."

Xiao Yan stepped forward, affectionately wrapped her arm around his other arm, rubbed against him vigorously, and said with a soft moan:
"If you ever do anything to wrong your senior sister in the future, I will not forgive you!"

That bitch is still putting on an act!
Did you think I didn't know you were marking me?
Unfortunately, I killed the Lingxi Gu!

Liu Sheng sneered inwardly, but his face showed gratitude, patting his chest and making various promises, while his right hand subtly gestured a few times on Madam Caiyu's back.

Lady Caiyu froze slightly, her gaze shifted, and then everything returned to normal.

Then, just like the previous medicinal bath, Liu Sheng sank into the boiling medicinal soup and began practicing his skills.

He has now mastered the art of internal organ cultivation, with three organs fully developed and the heart and spleen remaining.

It requires practicing the two orifices of the mouth and tongue, involving a total of 17 related acupoints.

The further you progress in refining your internal organs, the more Qi and blood are needed to open each acupoint—several times, or even ten times, more than before.

This is why most martial arts masters need to spend several years, ten years, or even twenty or thirty years to cross this level.

Even with abundant resources, progress must be made gradually and persistently.

After all, every medicine has its side effects.

If a martial artist's physical condition is insufficient, a large amount of drug toxins will accumulate in their body in a short period of time, corroding their body, poisoning their muscles, bones, and internal organs, and causing their cultivation to regress instead of progress.

Therefore, there should be an interval between each dose of pills and medicinal bath to allow for the elimination of drug toxins.

However, Liu Sheng possessed a terrifying physique, with all his physical attributes combined. His physical strength alone was enough to completely outclass any cultivator below the Qi Refining level, and his detoxification ability was unparalleled.

Moreover, he also possesses the talent of "poison absorption," turning waste into treasure.

He's practically a "naturally gifted drug addict".

For him, Lady Caiyu's "ripening medicine" was an extremely effective and miraculous remedy.

Wonderful!

An hour later, the medicinal soup turned into clear water.

Once all seven acupoints related to the tongue are mastered, the heart fire and vital energy will surge forth like a tide.

At this point, only the spleen remains unopened among the five internal organs!
Liu Sheng emerged from the cauldron and continued what he hadn't finished the night before, fighting two opponents at once to focus his attack on Xiao Yan, the undercover agent.

Only after she surrendered and admitted defeat did he launch a fierce attack on Lady Caiyu.

Upon reaching the peak, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he actually saw that the light mist in her head was flowing and swirling with six colors, intertwined and unclear.

Red represents visual desire, blue represents auditory desire, yellow represents olfactory desire, white represents gustatory desire, black represents mental desire, and pink represents physical desire...

He suddenly realized something, and in a flash, a pink spider silk sprouted from his fingertip and silently disappeared into the top of Lady Caiyu's head.
