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

Chapter 91 The Bitter Fire of the Demon-Locking Cave [Talisman Water] Wang Qi's Victory Without a Fight! (6k)

"Tonight was really comfortable."

Fu Xingwen took a bite of Han Qiming's corpse.

"That son of a bitch exorcism guild—what's that saying again—arrogant and disdainful of everyone."

"Fu Xingwen, if you haven't read any books, stop spouting nonsense." The hand with the broken tendon, which was the most severely injured, touched his bald head.

"Is Han Qiming talented?"

"Just a thug."

"What, bald guy—want to fight?" Fu Xingwen glanced at the severed tendon hand.

The tension between the two was palpable.

Apart from Wang Qi himself and the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect, the other seven people were also positioned loosely.

Obviously,

As geniuses from the same prefecture, especially young people from Dushui Prefecture, these individuals must have had many encounters and conflicts.

"Stop arguing."

Miss Bai looked at the Holy Maiden, "The Earth River Sect is full of powerful experts. The Holy Maiden wouldn't be doing this just to kill Han Qiming."

And it just so happens that they gathered all of us?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over.

"Looks like there's some good news for us," Fu Xingwen said with a smile.

The group looked at the Holy Maiden of the Great Clan.

Their expressions were filled with awe, but even more so with excitement.

Wang Qi saw this.

It seems that most of the people present probably wanted to spar with this Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect.

of course,

That includes himself.

"There is indeed one thing."

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect took in the expressions of everyone present.

She remained remarkably calm despite the fighting spirit that others perceived in her.

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect paused, then turned to Wang Qi with a warning.

Her original plan was to let Wang Qi go back first before talking to him.

But judging from those few arrows just now...

This deputy squad leader, who came from Heihe County, seemed to have some skills; he was quite clever and also an archer. "Just as the incident occurred in Heihe County, strange things also happened in the Demon Locking Cave."

"Do you all know the attrition rate when entering the Demon-Locking Cave?"

Fu Xingwen immediately replied, "I know, 20% every year."

"To reduce losses and avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Grandpa Huang established rules when he was still alive."

"Old soldiers lead new soldiers, and soldiers lead civilians. Each time you go down into the Demon Cave, at least five people must go together. At least one person in the team must have been down into the Demon Cave five times, or at least three soldiers from the military government must go together, or at least three people in the team must be fully armored."

"To be more specific, having a Blood Realm expert or a second-stage Qi Master leading a team can also replace some of the 'experience'."

"That's common sense."

Several young people around nodded in agreement.

They were all young people who frequently went down into the Demon Locking Cave, and often the initiators.

They knew perfectly well what the situation and rules were inside the Demon-Locking Cave.

On the contrary, Wang Qi,

Listen patiently from the side.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect continued, "Since everyone already knows, then I will speak."

"A total of 557 people from Heihe County entered the Demon Locking Cave on the day of the incident, but only 108 of them returned."

"More than 80% damaged!"

"More importantly, the remaining 108 people in the Demon Locking Cave were completely unaware of anything unusual and failed to provide any useful information."

"The military government sent people in afterward, but they were unable to find the remains or traces of the 449 people."

Upon hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed.

Chu Yutang said, "Either these 108 people have a problem, or some powerful demon has appeared in the Demon Locking Cave area near us and is plotting something."

"The fact that nothing unusual was detected means the battle ended in an instant."

"The opponent's strength is beyond imagination."

He looked at the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect, "But nothing else should have happened afterward, right?"

"Otherwise, this matter couldn't have been covered up."

"Rumors should have started circulating in the city long ago."

Peng Yunfan, the man with severed tendons, touched his bald head and said, "If nothing unusual happens in the next month or so, then these kinds of 'isolated cases' occur every few years. There's no need to make such a fuss, is there?"

Bai Nuo nodded, "It's just a bit strange that none of the 108 people noticed anything."

"The rest are indeed normal phenomena."

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect nodded, "If it weren't for the Black River County incident, we wouldn't have bothered with this matter."

"In addition, someone reported that one or two of them had unusual behavior, which is why this matter has attracted attention."

She looked at everyone.

"I'm telling you all this so that you'll pay attention to these people in your daily lives."

"Why not have the city guards do this?" Chu Yutang asked. "Or perhaps we could instruct the prefect to find the necessary manpower?"

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect calmly said, "Given the events in Heihe County, the Protectorate doesn't trust them."

"On the contrary, you are all young talents of the new generation."

"He has the character, the ability, and the prestige—everything. He's much more reliable than those old guys."

As he spoke,

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect observed everyone's expressions and saw that no one showed any dissatisfaction.

Even some of the veteran martial artists, such as Fu Xingwen and Peng Yunfan, the Tendon-Severing Hand, were somewhat excited.

She continued, "It's just to remind everyone to keep this in mind."

"No need to pay too much attention; the specific surveillance work will be carried out personally by the people of my local river sect."

Upon hearing this,

The crowd's expressions improved somewhat.

There's one last thing.

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect continued, "In a few days, during the Exorcism Guild's competition, if those people make any unusual moves, I hope you will all take the lead."

"It helps to unite people's hearts and minds."

"no problem!"

"Can you kill someone?"

"Anyway, I'm definitely going to punch each of those three old men!"

Several people were indignant.

Clearly, they harbored deep resentment towards the various actions of the exorcism guild.

"Then I'll have to trouble you all."

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect cupped her hands in greeting to the crowd.

He then pulled out a stack of pre-assigned lists and handed them to everyone.

When it comes to the last one.

She looked at Wang Qi, hesitated for a moment, and then tossed the list over to him.

Wang Qi gently pinched it.

There are twelve names written on it.

"One hundred and eight against nine, exactly twelve for each person." Fu Xingwen chuckled.

"Could this be some kind of divine secret?"

"There are no coincidences in this world," Chu Yutang said casually. "But things can be accomplished by human effort."

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the loser becomes an opportunity."

"Do all you Qi Masters believe in some kind of ethereal and unrealistic stuff?" Fu Xingwen asked.

Chu Yutang did not deny it, "Before someone could cultivate that aura, it was considered to be ethereal and unreal."

"But what about now?"

Fu Xingwen chuckled and said nothing more.

The Holy Maiden of the River Sect said, "The highest level among them is the fourth realm of the Old Martial Realm, with perfected skin refining and the emergence of an immortal pouch."

"The skin and flesh remain youthful, the vital energy and blood never decline, and the sac never breaks."

"If you notice anything unusual, do not act alone."

The group nodded to each other.

They then dispersed.

Suddenly, Fu Xingwen called out to the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect, "Holy Maiden!"

"We've done the government such a big favor, you should at least give us some reward, right?"

The crowd stopped abruptly.

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect calmly asked, "What do you want?"

"I'd like to learn a couple of tricks from you."

"Can."

The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect calmly nodded. "What realm are you in now?"

"Didn't you notice?"

Fu Xingwen laughed.

"I didn't look," the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect replied honestly. "Your cultivation levels are too low, so you didn't notice."

Fu Xingwen stopped laughing.

He clasped his hands deeply towards the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect, "Giant Tiger Martial Arts School's Fuxingwen, three times the Blood Transfer!"

Fu Xingwen's voice was deep.

next moment,

You can see thick, white internal energy emanating from the corners of his eyes, nostrils, and even his ears.

Like spreading branches, they wrapped around Fu Xingwen's skin, coalescing into the shape of a giant tiger, sticking to his body.

Head, neck, arms, spine, thighs, Achilles tendon —

boom!

With a roar of a tiger, they suddenly charged forward.

The pure white internal energy would turn blood-red over time, and the rich, bloody smell and chilling aura emanated from Fu Xingwen, surging outwards.

"Blood Flow - Tiger Armor"

Fu Xingwen let out a low growl.

The person vanished from the spot in an instant.

boom!

The spot where he originally stood exploded with a deafening roar.

I have already appeared in front of the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect.

"The giant tiger charges!" 』

'Running Stream Palm'

Although the two started moving one after the other, their fists and palms were thrown out simultaneously.

Just as their fists and palms collided, a sound like a bronze drum seemed to ring out.

next moment,

Fu Xingwen was sent flying backwards.

The tiger armor on his body suddenly shattered.

"You're too kind!"

The Holy Maiden of the Dihe Sect clasped her hands in a gesture of respect.

The fact that Fu Xingwen's performance was resolved in one move left everyone present with a solemn expression.

"The copper skin and copper drum are merely techniques developed during the initial skin-refining stage. Yet, they possess such power in the hands of the Holy Maiden."

Peng Yunfan's "Tendon-Severing Hand" technique is truly astounding.

They had sparred with experts at the Skin Refining Realm before.

The copper drum, made of copper skin, generates power through the vibration of blood and the skin, unleashing even greater destructive force.

However, this change seems to have a greater amplifying effect on the saintess than expected.

"Truly worthy of being called the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect."

Fu Xingwen got up from a distance, revealing an excited smile.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

"admire."

"You can actually stand up." The Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect was slightly surprised. "The martial arts level in the county city is indeed beyond imagination."

"As a formal disciple of my Dihe Sect, I should be somewhat weaker than you."

The others who had originally intended to intervene hesitated when they saw Fu Xingwen lose so badly.

They all abandoned the idea.

Wang Qi seemed to be merely an outsider observing the clash between the Holy Maiden of the Earth River Sect and the genius of the county city.

The forest returned to calm.

[The "Hatchling Dragon - Dragon Power" stat has been increased by 0.1%!]

[Dragon Hatchling - Dragon Power increased by 0.1%!]

[The "Hatchling Dragon - Dragon Power" stat has been increased by 0.5%!]

[[Prestige stat increased by 1%!]]

?

[[Prestige stat increased by 1%!]]

[[Prestige stat increased by 5%!]]

【Young Dragon - Dragon Power (Tier 1, 29.1%)】

【Prestige (Tier 0, 295.5%)】

【Red Python Demon Meat: The meat of a great fire demon, who has lived in the fiery land since childhood and whose diet includes flames and lava.】

It contains the gallbladder and is wrapped in flesh. Blowing on it allows one to expel the bitter heat. Side effect: it causes mouth ulcers, with no upper limit to the number.

(Note: Bitter Fire is a flame that, when inflicted upon the body, increases the intensity of their pain. Combining it with internal energy can make the flame last longer and burn more fiercely.)

[Talismanic Water: Water said to have been blessed by immortals, but its ability to absorb spiritual energy is limited. When sprinkled, it has the effect of extinguishing fire and dispelling evil. It can also amplify the power of items used to ward off evil.]

(Note: Shower and change clothes before use, and calm your mind for best results.)

Wang Qi watched as the layers of the majestic robes and the dragon's aura continuously increased, along with the newly discovered demon flesh and materials.

He was secretly delighted.

He toyed with the exposed red python's gall bladder in his hand.

He has already washed it clean.

From the outside, it looks like a reddish-brown gemstone.

If we consider its effects...

This crimson python's gall bladder seems more like some kind of 'magical artifact'.

It needs to be 'added fuel' to stimulate it.

It's a completely enhanced version of the Hidden Fire Beef Liver, with not only a more intense fire but also special effects.

"The demon race is a treasure trove from head to toe!"

And talisman water goes without saying.

Another material that can enhance the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

Today marks the eighth day since Han Qiming's death.

The exorcism guild still managed to cause some trouble. It is said that they urgently recalled Gong Haoshi, a young exorcist who was as famous as Zhuang Yuan, from another county and temporarily made him Zhang Huzi's disciple.

In preparation for the duel with Wang Qi.

Countless people condemned this action, but the exorcism guild simply killed the perpetrators, claiming it was in accordance with the rules.

Wang Qi, of course, didn't care about any of this.

He devoted himself to spiritual practice.

I have thoroughly examined all the materials I purchased.

There are as many as four kinds of materials that have the effect of amplifying and exorcising evil spirits.

There is also a fair amount of python demon meat and cat demon meat.

Wang Qi also bought an extra large gun and placed it in his home.

Besides trying out the effects of exorcising materials every day.

It refers to practicing the One Yang Needle Technique and the Hundred Turns Yin Ghost Needle Technique.

Compared to eating the flesh of a demon.

The collection of primordial yang energy using the One Yang Needle Technique is undoubtedly more difficult.

Although the sun rises twice a day at different times, giving Wang Qi two opportunities to cultivate.

But in just a few days...

The primordial power that Wang Qi collected was still only the size of a finger joint.

hum~

His mind stirred slightly.

Gather the power of the rising sun and illuminate your fingertips.

A faint light flickered at the fingertips.

It looks like a finger lamp.

This lamp does not consume the power of the rising sun.

This can be considered an unexpected gain for Wang Qi during his cultivation over the past few days.

Free torches.

In addition, Wang Qi had an even bolder idea.

He picked up two needles.

The killing intent condensed from the Blood Tiger's power was injected into the needle on the left, and then the Hundred-Turn Yin Ghost Needle was activated.

The murderous aura stained the silver needles red.

A chilling, sinister aura emanated from him, clearly radiating through Wang Qi's fingertips.

He suddenly dropped the needle and stuck it into a large rat, as long as his forearm, that he had caught the day before.

The large rat instantly let out a mournful howl.

next moment,

Wang Qi immediately activated the power of the rising sun, channeling it into another needle.

One-Yang Needle Technique!

The power was activated, and the entire needle seemed to turn red-hot.

boom!

This yang needle was also precisely inserted into the body of the large rat.

Two needles were placed on the same acupoint.

The giant rat's body suddenly froze.

next moment.

With a loud explosion, a small shower of blood fell inside the house.

"Haha—I'm truly a martial arts genius!"

Wang Qi looked at the scene before him and smelled the blood.

Excited.

One yin and one yang, two needles landed on the same acupoint.

It mutated directly.

He originally just had a sudden whim and wanted to give it a try.

never thought,

It actually succeeded.

"wonderful."

Wang Qi murmured.

He picked up the second mouse.

A yin needle is inserted into one acupoint, while a yang needle is inserted into another.

The power of the two techniques began to take effect.

Dark Night Spirit Eyes!

Wang Qi opened his eyes immediately.

In the naked eye.

The Yang needles manipulated by the One Yang Needle Technique drive away the evil energy from the rat's body.

Yin needles, on the other hand, constantly attract evil energy.

The interaction between these two factors actually accelerates the speed at which the Yin Needle attracts evil energy.

"The simple forces of Yin and Yang can be manipulated."

Wang Qi was excited.

He was subtly influenced by the martial artists of the county town, and the knowledge of things like the Qi Master Path and the Bloodline Martial Path broadened his horizons.

It also made him more open-minded and willing to try new things.

If the warriors of the county town could practice and explore more freely, their martial arts might progress even faster.

He looked at the exorcism materials he had prepared and fell into deep thought.

"That exorcism guild is truly despicable—"

He decided,

He publicly revealed his physical exorcism method.

Spread the secret recipe for Black Dog Demon Blood and Fire Ash Grass.

Only the more advanced version of Yin Dog Demon Blood, Talisman Water, and 'Firestone Grass' remained.

"Master Wang, it's time for us to set off."

outside the door,

A respectful voice came from Song Dahu.

"The arena is set up right at our street corner."

"understood."

Wang Qi stood up.

They packed everything they needed into a bamboo box and carried it on their backs.

He walked out of the courtyard gate.

He saw guests in the backyards smiling and nodding at him from the other courtyards.

"Master Wang, please don't lose!"

"must."

Wang Qi responded politely.

After leaving the backyard, we walked to the front hall.

Then there were even more people—

Despite his illness, Li Gangfeng and his brother Li Afu stood at the door to cheer on Wang Qi.

They even specially commissioned a large flag.

The words "Master Wang is handsome and his exorcism skills are even more outstanding" are written in striking red characters on a black background.

Wang Qi was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover his face and leave.

There were countless cheers from the surrounding crowd.

The public's outward "extreme" aversion to exorcism guilds is not readily apparent.

But now it seems that the exorcism guild is on the verge of collapse.

Then they all came out.

This shows the will of the people—

Wang Qi walked to the street corner and saw a makeshift, two-meter-high arena.

around,

He also spotted Fu Xingwen, Chu Yutang, Bai Nuo (Miss Bai), and others in the crowd.

On the arena,

The young man named Gong Haoshi was sitting cross-legged on the arena. His bright and shiny clothes were visibly stained with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

Behind it is a two-story attic.

Seated there were two elders from the Exorcism Guild, and Zhang Huzi, whom I had met once before.

Their faces were ashen, making it impossible to discern their emotions.

Wang Qi stepped onto the arena.

He slowly and deliberately clasped his hands in greeting to those around him.

He began to speak.

"No matter what, I will teach everyone some simple and practical exorcism methods and materials that I have learned today."

"So that in the future, you little evil spirits won't have to go to an exorcism shop to get temporary treatment."

As soon as Wang Qi said this...

Like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake.

It instantly caused a stir and cheers from those around them.

"Master Wang's act has brought him immeasurable merit and boundless blessings!"

"Master Wang's move—awesome!"

talking.

Wang Qi opened his bamboo box directly.

He took out a jar that contained the blood of the Yin Dog Demon, but was actually the blood of the Moon Dog Demon.

"Dip your fist in the blood of the Moon Dog Demon, then roll it in some Fire Ash Grass. It's like dipping sauce, like a scallion pancake, you know that? —"

"Then draw the qi out of the body and continuously pat the areas where the evil qi is concentrated."

"Note that the harder you punch, the better the effect."

"If you can't sense where the evil energy is, you can apply the blood of the Moon Dog demon to your forehead; you'll be able to see it for a short time."

in all directions.

Gasps of shock rose and fell.

As if in an instant,

It was as if it wanted to suck away all the deep winter chill of this river crossing county.

Everyone looked at Wang Qi with shining eyes.

Radiant with energy.

"No need to learn any acupuncture techniques or exorcism methods?"

"After dipping it in the sauce—no, after dipping it in dog blood and fire ash grass, can you just spray it on your body?" someone below asked.

"Yes."

Wang Qi nodded, and then continued.

"Note that this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"However, if one's body is mutated, this method can be used to break it. The effect is remarkable."

"Huh?!"

Surprise and bewilderment erupted once again.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Alienation can be directly shattered?!

This kind of thing

They didn't even dare to think about it.

The original alienation can only be reversed through diligent practice and breaking through realms.

If one lacks sufficient cultivation resources, one may be unable to break through or make any progress for a long time.

Then all you can do is wait to die, wait to fall into depravity.

But now we can directly shatter the alienation.

Who wouldn't be happy? Who wouldn't be excited!

"As for whether the elimination of alienation is effective, that varies from person to person."

Wang Qi spoke in a deep voice.

Gong Haoshi, who had remained unmoved by the countless rotten eggs and vegetable leaves thrown at him, had now stood up.

She looked at Wang Qi with a complex expression.

He glanced at the frenzied crowd.

Then he looked back at the guild leaders sitting in the attic, dressed in fine clothes, but with blank expressions on their faces.

Following closely behind—

Wang Qi's voice rang out again.

"Of course, I have even more advanced methods for exorcising evil spirits."

"But I also need to eat. So I can't announce it for now."

He paused, then continued.

"But I can promise that every time I make a breakthrough in my exorcism techniques, I will release all the next level of techniques for everyone to use."

"Of course, this only applies to what I figured out myself."

Wang Qi's voice was not loud.

Yet it was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Moreover, I consider my exorcism talent to be quite good."

"A breakthrough should happen soon."

Wang Qi spoke calmly.

His breakthrough in this physical exorcism method was nothing more than an improvement and upgrade in martial arts realm and exorcism materials.

As long as you venture deeper into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and the Demon Locking Cave, you can hunt down higher-level demons.

It will upgrade naturally.

There are no complicated bottlenecks.

The cheers subsided somewhat.

But then, like a tidal wave, an even more astonishing cheer erupted.

The roar of mountains and the sound of waves crashed towards Wang Qi.

He looked down at the ground.

The earth cracked from the cheers.

Wang Qi slightly raised his hand and pressed it down.

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

He looked at Gong Haoshi opposite him and said calmly, "Alright, we can begin."

opposite,

Gong Haoshi gave a wry smile, cupped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Qi, and said, "Brother Wang, Master Wang—there is no need for further competition."

"If your exorcism is truly as effective as you claim."

"You've already won."

"And—your words also deeply moved me."

"Exorcists do need to make money. But they shouldn't do it just for money."

"Been taught a lesson!"

Gong Haoshi clasped his hands in a salute to Wang Qi.

He then looked up and said.

"I give up!"
