Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Peach wood sword, glutinous rice, gourd, boy's urine, black dog's blood...

Wang Qi roughly went through all the exorcism methods he could think of in his mind.

He put the peach wood sword and the gourd on his list of priorities later.

Wang Qi wasn't very confident about this kind of deadly weapon, because as of now, the only thing that could be mistaken for the real thing was something he had swallowed.

Swords and other metal weapons may have their names changed after being seen through, but they still have the same effect when used to cut someone.

Therefore, Wang Qi was uncertain.

After seeing through these two things, will all my efforts be in vain?

Since breaking through to the Inner Strength stage, the number of times he can use the "Insight" skill each day has increased, from three times every two days at the beginning to three times a day now.

It doubled.

During his exploration, Wang Qi also discovered that seeing through something weighing over 300 pounds once was equivalent to consuming two times the 'spiritual energy'.

Wang Qi tentatively named this 'energy bar' 'spiritual power'.

of course,

Another reason for lowering the priority of these two is that they are external things, only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

Boy's urine and black dog's blood...

Wang Qi frowned and gave up on it.

Although he had heard of recipes in his previous life that used children's urine as a medicinal ingredient, he still had psychological barriers to actually drinking it.

Even an upgrade won't work.

Black dog blood... he could accept it if it was applied to his body, but shouldn't he ask the doctor at the pharmacy?

Wang Qi used long chopsticks to tie a large pot that had been boiling continuously.

Pick up the garlic from the ground...

蒜！

Garlic can also ward off evil spirits!

Wang Qi's eyes lit up immediately.

He quickly pulled out a whole clove of garlic and held it in his hand.

Because it would be a waste to only see through one aspect.

Break it!

[Great Flavor Demon-Slaying Pill: A deformed demon-slaying pill exuding a mysterious aura. After consumption, it can dispel evil energy within the body, sweep away demons, and allow one to reclaim their true self.]

(Note: The effects of this medicine may be quite strong. Please take it in a secluded place to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment.)

Become!

Wang Qi slapped his thigh, just as he had thought.

This garlic can really turn into a magic-repelling elixir.

He quickly plucked a petal, cleaned it, and put it in his mouth.

A spicy flavor exploded in my mouth instantly, followed by a scalding heat that flowed through my body to every limb and bone.

Glug glug...

Wang Qi suddenly frowned.

The hem of his robe behind him began to sway continuously, as if green gas was bursting out.

Although it was somewhat indecent, Wang Qi's previously slightly cloudy eyes began to clear.

"Great results."

It tastes strong!

Needless to say.

Wang Qi exhaled a breath of stale air.

He wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but he felt that even the breath he exhaled had a demonic smell.

After attempting to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts - Great Demon Force, Wang Qicai gained a more intuitive understanding of the text in this technique.

It was just a spiritual practice.

It's terrifying that he's been afflicted by demonic energy to the point of affecting his mind.

"However, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find such a top-tier technique. Even if there were no true dragons and elephants in the world, they would be kept on the high shelf by top powers, instead of becoming mere table legs."

Wang Qi thought to himself.

Even in the Great Tang Dynasty, where martial arts cultivation was quite unusual, this Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts should be considered a kind of evil technique.

If someone else were to cultivate, they would most likely end up becoming a demon.

In thought,

He popped another clove of garlic into his mouth.

It took a long time this time to expel some of the evil energy.

"This still doesn't clean it up properly," Wang Qi sighed.

It did have some effect, but he always felt a little irritable.

This is an abnormal sign.

"Just taking the Demon-Slaying Pill probably won't be enough."

Tomorrow I'll look for some other things, like peach wood swords, and try those too.

Fortunately, he was now quite wealthy. Lu Shun had earned an astonishing eighty taels of silver from selling the "Kidney Nourishing Technique," plus the forty-eight taels he had at the end from the green python's corpse...

Even though I've spent a lot of money, I still have some left...

Only twelve taels left?!

Wang Qi looked at his [Stream Bag] in disbelief. If it weren't his own spatial bag, he would have thought his money had been stolen!

"This money really goes by in a flash."

He clicked his tongue in disbelief and felt a pang of heartache.

Indeed, the previous thousand catties of water buffalo demon meat, and now another five hundred catties of mud buffalo demon meat, plus the gifts for Uncle Ge, have all resulted in a huge expense.

If he and Sun Li hadn't continued to squander their savings and take Xiao Hei and Shi Liang to sweep through the alley, he probably would have had to tighten his belt to make ends meet.

"The poor are scholars, the rich are warriors; the ancients were right."

Martial arts is indeed a bottomless pit.

Wang Qi continued to practice the Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts.

I don't know if it's because of this technique.

He's very energetic tonight and plans to practice all night.

In the pupil,

The reflection of the thick, golden dragon appeared.

That was a breath he had cultivated internally, which, under the influence of the dragon's power, transformed into a thick dragon aura.

Huh?

Wang Qi was slightly surprised.

Because the golden dragon aura surrounding it was still entwined with black energy... or rather, demonic and evil energy.

Following the golden dragon, it actually condensed into a long strip, showing a faint tendency to take on the form of a dragon or snake.

Can the dragon's power even affect these demonic and evil energies?!

Do I still need to perform an exorcism?

The thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

We still need to get rid of it, since it can't be completely removed in the short term. Let's just let the remaining residue develop and see how it goes.

If one truly lets go completely, allowing demons and evil spirits to conduct their "experimentation" within their body.

His own fate is probably not good.

……

Breakfast at the Ge family's residence is served exceptionally early.

Clearly, Ge Ershan was also an extremely diligent practitioner.

Wang Qi hadn't gone to sleep yet, but others had already started their morning exercises.

"My dear nephew, you didn't sleep a wink last night. Have you figured out a move yet?"

At breakfast, Ge Ershan asked.

He had obviously heard from the servants in the manor about Wang Qi going in and out through the back door last night.

"The cultivation technique looks impressive, but unfortunately it's only for looking at and not for eating."

"But I still want to learn the moves in there."

Wang Qi said tactfully.

"It's alright, it's alright, we're all family! Take it and think about it slowly." Ge Ershan waved his hand generously.

Breakfast consisted of millet and wild vegetable porridge, accompanied by white flour steamed buns and several plates of braised beef.

After all, those martial artists have an enormous appetite.

Halfway through the meal, someone knocked on the door, brought in a letter, and then left.

Ge Ershan opened the letter, looked at it, and then handed it to Wang Qi.

"Take a look."

Seeing this, Wang Qi didn't stand on ceremony and curiously took the letter.

Ge Ershan's voice came from beside him, "The sewer alley was quite lively last night. Zheng Xiaotian fought Hu Tu at night, and Sun Li captured Shi Hu three times. Jia Sheng fought two heroes of chicken and duck by himself."

"Of the Five Heroes of the Evil Waters, the three older ones all made their move last night."

"Many people in the city received the news in advance and went to the sewer alley in the middle of the night to see what was going on."

"I've never heard of such a rumor before," Wang Qi said curiously.

The image of Lao Fei, the Fragrant Meat Sect member, flashed through his mind.

That guy's territory is the sewer alley.

However, he led a large group of followers in a parade on Zhengyu Street last night.

Why are they fighting?

Ge Ershan responded, "Why else? For fame, of course."

"No matter how you put it, it all comes down to the winter hunt and the number of disciples for the Divine Eagle Cult."

"Only by competing for attention and showing off can one demonstrate their value."

"To join the Divine Eagle Cult, one would probably have to step on the faces of one's peers."

Wang Qi nodded in realization.

He doesn't have that in mind right now; he only wants to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts - Great Demon Force.

This technique is definitely no weaker than the techniques of the Divine Eagle Sect.

I just finished breakfast.

Another letter came in.

After reading it, Ge Ershan's face darkened.

"What's wrong, Second Uncle?" Ge Daniu asked timidly.

Ge Ershan said in a deep voice, "Last night, several households on Zhengyu Street and Zhuanfang Street, which are home to wealthy families, were burglarized!"

"And they're all wealthy merchants and gentry!"

"A large amount of gold and silver jewelry has gone missing, and now these people have jointly filed a complaint with the authorities."

bad!

Wang Qi slapped his thigh. Time to go to work.

He quickly stood up, as did Ge Daniu behind him.

This is a major case.

Their yamen has three shifts, and none of them can have a moment's peace.
