Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 275 The True Scripture of the Wondrous Blood Mother

Fang Shu silently sensed the Dao talisman, his heart filled with joy.

While he was prepared for other benefits, the transformation of the Dao Talisman was completely unexpected.

Looking back now, his spiritual roots have transformed, from being cultivated later to being formed innately, with their roots embedded in his bloodline and soul. The Dao talisman was originally related to his physical body, soul, and the insect and grass spiritual roots.

It's perfectly normal for Daoist practitioners to receive some benefits now.

Fang Shu came to his senses and thought to himself:
"Although the Daoist talismans of the past could be deduced, they mainly relied on the wonder of 'analysis' and could only deduce and complete the incomplete cultivation methods based on the secret texts."

While this effect is somewhat useful, it's not particularly mysterious. Fang Shu could achieve the same result with a little effort.

But now, the situation is different...

Suddenly, a fragmented cultivation technique appeared in his mind. The steps and key points of cultivation were detailed in every word, but the technique did not contain a single complete text, only half a blurry string of words.

As Fang Shu pondered the contents of this cultivation technique, layers of thoughts immediately surfaced in his mind, and the half-blurred secret text gradually showed signs of being repaired and perfected.

However, he only tried it once before stopping.

Although he obtained the wealth of the Er family patriarch and the Dragon Maiden Immortal family, he also found several ancient treasures for refining Qi from the pockets of the two Foundation Establishment Immortals. However, only one of these ancient treasures, which was casually thrown in a corner, still carried "evil energy," allowing him to obtain some new dragon energy.

There isn't much dragon energy; a little is enough to test it out, there's no need to actually use it all.

By attempting to complete the secret text, Fang Shu has now fully confirmed the wonderful uses of the newly added Daoist talisman.

In the future, in addition to being able to complete the spell content based on the secret text, he will also be able to complete the corresponding incomplete secret text based on the spell content.

If he has enough experience in certain spells, he can even deduce a spell out of thin air based on the spell's cultivation steps and effects, without needing an incomplete scripture as a base.

Realizing this, Fang Shu's heart surged with emotion, and he suddenly felt that the Dao talisman would be even more useful for his future cultivation and study of the Dao.

He also thought to himself, "Aside from completing the spell, my study of the three spells—wall-penetrating, invisibility, and object manipulation—will undoubtedly be much easier in the future!"

The divination function of Taoist talismans can be applied to different spells, allowing for the combination of different spells.

Fang Shu could have done this before, but it was time-consuming and laborious, and the conditions were quite demanding.

Now that the Dao Talisman has such a wonderful use, he can be a hands-off manager, letting the Dao Talisman perform deductions day and night, thus saving countless energy for nothing.

In his excitement, he immediately felt an urge to try to deduce and integrate different cultivation techniques and spells.

Fortunately, he managed to suppress such thoughts in time.

"This trip to the Blood Lake Secret Realm was truly worthwhile!"

Fang Shuxin admired it.

After thoroughly taking stock of his gains, he came to his senses, glanced at Erdaiyuan who was still cultivating beside him, and did not disturb her.

For the rest of the time, he sat cross-legged to one side.

While refining his own Ninety-Nine Toad True Qi, he took out the books collected by Long Gu and the ancestor of the Er family and quickly flipped through them.

In less than ten days, he had roughly read through all the books in both parties' collections and put them into the Taoist talisman.

However, due to his limited energy and time, he hadn't had time to carefully review it yet, and would need to digest it properly later. Finally, that day arrived.

Erdaiyuan's breathing stopped, and she opened her eyes, exiting her meditative state.

Erdaiyuan opened her eyes, not having time to pay attention to the outside world. She sensed the situation in her own home. First, a look of joy appeared on her face, but then her brows furrowed and her expression changed.

Fang Shu, who was standing to the side, also opened his eyes, raised an eyebrow, and sized up the other person before speaking:
"Fellow Daoist, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Upon hearing this, Er Daiyuan suddenly came to her senses.

She composed herself and quickly said happily, "Thank you, Protector Fang Lang!"

Then, at Fang Shu's prompting, the woman whispered:
"To be honest, my spiritual root has indeed been enhanced, but while the blood lotus seed is exceptionally effective, there are also some additional costs associated with consuming it."

Buzzing!
Suddenly, she saw that the true energy released from his body had turned scarlet, just like blood, making Fang Shu's face turn red.

But this was not the biggest change. A blood-red light rose above Erdaiyuan's head, and blue veins appeared on her body. A blood-red spiritual light immediately rippled outwards from where her body was.

Erdaiyuan sighed, "After consuming this blood lotus seed, my spiritual root has actually changed. My spiritual root now... should be called the 'blood spiritual root'."

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu looked extremely surprised.

He had no idea that the Blood Lotus Saint could even refine a person's spiritual root type.

In particular, according to Erdaiyuan's own account, she now feels happy whenever she sees anything bloody, and this has also caused some drawbacks. For example, she will have to consume human blood from time to time for cultivation. If it is the blood of her blood relatives or friends, she will be even happier.

Feeling Fang Shu's strange gaze, Er Daiyuan lowered her head, seemingly ashamed of her future demonic habits.

Fang Shu withdrew his gaze and secretly used the Dao talisman to examine himself, checking whether the corresponding demonic habits had fallen on him.

After confirming several times that it was not true, he couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Even though, in his eyes, Erdaiyuan, who was originally a pseudo-spiritual root immortal, had now become a genuine earth spiritual root, he felt no jealousy.

After listening for a long time, Fang Shu became even more curious about the changes in Er Daiyuan.

Just then, Erdaiyuan took the initiative to say:
"However, these changes will make it easier for me to adapt to another cultivation method after I change my cultivation technique."

Fang Shu raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "What kind of technique?"

It turns out that when Erdaiyuan was refining the Blood Lotus Saint Child, a divine thought was also transmitted to her through the Blood Lotus Saint Child.

Within this divine thought, besides some information about the underground palace, there was a cultivation technique called "The True Scripture of the Wondrous Blood Mother".

The contents of this cultivation method are already deeply imprinted in Erdaiyuan's mind. It is a bloodline inheritance from ancient times. In the current world outside the mortal realm, this method can be described as extremely poisonous and sinister.

Erdaiyuan explained things to Fang Shu in detail, but suddenly felt that communicating with words like this was really inconvenient.

So she figured out a more efficient way to communicate.

The woman blushed and said softly, "Young Master Fang...would you be willing to have a spiritual exchange with me and study this method together?"
