Chapter 83: Terrible Boss! New Spells
The night was dark, and a few torches were lit high up, providing a small patch of light to dispel the endless darkness around them.
A group of six people, all of them with sturdy build, holding torches, walked along the mountain path.
"Boom!"
A sudden thunder exploded in the distant mountains, rumbling and deafening.
"It's thundering. It's going to rain. Let's finish patrolling the mountain and return to the camp as soon as possible."
A patrolling martial artist urged.
As a martial artist, getting wet in the rain is not a big deal, as it will not allow the cold and evil spirits to enter your body. But who wants to be drenched?
A group of martial artists echoed this and quickened their pace.
"Brothers, there seems to be something wrong with the thunder. It doesn't look like it's going to rain."
The leading martial artist was a little surprised, but knowing that his brother knew some skills of observing the sky and the earth, he couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
"After the thunder, the clouds in the sky immediately dispersed. They dispersed so quickly that it seemed as if the two lightning bolts were caused by something."
What motivated you?
The eyes of all the martial artists lit up.
Anyone who has searched the mountains and looked for treasure knows that when there is a sudden thunderbolt, there must be a demon.
Either the goblins and ghosts are punished by thunder, or the heavenly spirits and earthly treasures become spirits and trigger thunder disasters.
You never know, there might be a great opportunity there.
As for the hidden dangers, they definitely exist.
just
The martial artists looked at each other, and without thinking too much, they voted with their feet and rushed towards the place where the lightning struck in the distance.
What is dangerous or not, the mountain patrol martial artist has seen a lot, so he is not afraid of this one.
What's more, no matter what kind of evil spirits they are, they will be crippled if not killed by the thunder, which is a good opportunity for them to take advantage of.
The group of martial artists ran like horses without a second thought, galloping across the mountains and fields.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a group of patrolling martial artists arrived in the wilderness. Hearing the voices of "Thank you, Grandpa Immortal" and "Immortal" coming from the distant wilderness, their eyes turned red and they were extremely excited.
Opportunity!
It must be a great opportunity!
Who knows, it could be a treasure from heaven and earth that has turned into a spirit.
"Susu!"
The group walked through knee-high weeds and when they got closer, they saw twelve boys and girls bowing and thanking them profusely. Lying beside them were two charred corpses and a mechanical beast that had been broken into charred pieces of wood.
Everyone was stunned.
They were not some kind of divine treasure transformed into a spirit or a monster, but clearly twelve human children who were tied up.
As for the charred corpse, with their keen eyes, they could tell at a glance that the person had died from the thunder.
"what happened?"
The martial artists' eyes fell on the children.
An older boy stammered:
"The bad guys turned us into sheep and beat us, and then the immortal grandfather sent down thunder from the sky to kill the bad guys."
The boy was a little nervous at first, but as he started talking, he became more organized:
"Then the clouds rose, the wind howled, and the immortal in the clouds said that he would send us back to the city. He also said that the patrolling martial arts uncles would be here soon and asked us to report to the police and take us to find our families."
"This"
The mountain patrolling martial artist was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what had happened.
Immortal cultivators fight. A master rescues the child
Immortal Grandpa
The martial artists thought of the thunder from the sky, and then looked at the corpses and the mechanical beasts, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Quick, report this matter to the Demon Suppression Department immediately!"
About half an hour.
Flying monsters galloped across the mountains and plains, and the figures of martial arts masters dropped from the sky.
The leader had a pair of tiger eyes with a light golden hue, large yellow eyes, a lion-like nose, an upright figure, a tiger back and ape arms, and an appearance of wealth and nobility.
Seeing the newcomer, the patrolling martial artists widened their eyes and took a deep breath.
It attracted this
"We have met Commander Wei."
The person who came was no one else but the commander of the Demon Suppression Department of Changle Prefecture, the head of the Demon Suppression Department, Wei Tanzhi.
Wei Tanzhi nodded to several patrolling martial artists and walked straight to the place where the lightning struck without saying anything else.
Soon, a group of Demon Suppression Officers followed closely, surrounded the two corpses and the mechanical beasts at the lightning-struck site, and analyzed them one by one.
"The deceased was a female who had cultivated herself through the later years. Her entire body was burnt and blackened. There was no vitality left in her body. She had no other external injuries. She died from a lightning strike. She was killed in one blow and her soul was scattered."
"The deceased was a man with evil spirits running rampant in his body. He was a cultivator and was suspected to be a master of Yin spirits. He was also killed by lightning and was killed in one strike."
"Based on the damage to the core of the formation, the Wood Puppet Sect's mechanical beast is a first-class mechanical beast of the Wood Puppet Sect, with innate combat power."
The martial arts masters and clerks of the Demon Suppression Division were extremely skilled and quickly verified the circumstances of the crime scene one by one.
Soon, Lin Shoulong, the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division, bowed:
"Commander, the situation is basically clear. The dead are a man and a woman, both are remnants of the Wooden Puppet Sect. They were accomplices of the evil spirits from the Side Sect that were captured in the mountains a few days ago. They are suspected to have bought boys and girls from the Robber Sect and were killed by a mysterious master who used thunder to kill them."
"Ok!"
Wei Tanzhi nodded slightly, his eyes leisurely:
"He can stir up the thunder with just a move of his hands. What a big move! I never thought that the small Qingmu is full of hidden talents and there is actually a true cultivator who has reached the realm of [Refining Qi into Spirit]."
Lin Shoulong was also horrified and couldn't help asking:
"Is this really an old monster who has transformed into a spirit? Could he be a veteran Yin God master?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Wei Tanzhi was very sure:
"According to what the children and the patrolling martial artists said, the other party is truly manipulating the celestial phenomena, driving the thunder, and killing the evil cultivators. This kind of method can only be achieved by a powerful Qi-refining and Spirit-transforming expert who has awakened the [Primordial Spirit] in the world today. The talisman sect has declined, and a Yin-Shen master would never be able to do it."
this.
All the martial arts masters of the Demon Suppression Division fell silent upon hearing this.
A strong person who has "refined qi into spirit" is equivalent to a martial arts master. Moreover, a strong person who has "refined qi into spirit" has mysterious magic spells and supernatural powers, and is often much stronger than an ordinary martial arts master.
Some powerful "Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation" masters even dare to fight with Martial Saints from a distance. They are extremely ferocious and difficult to deal with.
For a moment, bitterness appeared on the faces of the masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
The appearance of this fierce dragon from across the river in their jurisdiction was too much pressure for them.
"Whoo~"
Lin Shoulong smiled bitterly, trying to find joy in the midst of suffering:
"The only good news is that judging from his behavior, he must be a true Taoist practitioner with a compassionate heart. Judging from his appearance, he will be able to suppress the demon for a while."
Wei Tanzhi nodded in approval.
In fact, his attitude towards Taoists was somewhat complicated. He used to hate evil and wanted to kill Taoists. Later, he saw those who truly practiced Taoism, and saw that they were open and honest, behaved uprightly, and had compassion in their hearts.
To be honest, he admires those who truly practice the right path.
However, the premise of all this is that it does not get out of control.
Out of control, it is still a disaster.
"This case is temporarily put on hold. The case of the Thunder Master is a taboo case. Do not take the initiative to collect clues from this expert for the time being. Do not take the initiative to provoke him and do not cause misunderstandings on the other side."
"We obey orders!"
The Valley of Truth.
"Huhuhu~"
After dealing with the Qiu family, Qiu Zhen returned to the valley. He fell directly to the ground with a pale face.
"Luckily, I met a patrolling martial artist, who cleaned up the mess and saved me from a lot of trouble."
Forcing himself to stay together, Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground, regulating his breathing and healing his wounds, with a self-deprecating look on his face.
The rookie was just starting to practice, so he didn't know how to control his strength.
This time, he was too harsh, and even he himself suffered.
With his current level of cultivation, it is still too difficult for him to use the [Qingwei Zhaolei Liying Fu] to control thunder.
Even with the help of the little wood spirit that transformed into a sword and the Taoist's number one magic weapon, the Sword of Repelling Evil, with his level of cultivation, after he successfully performed the skill, he still suffered a powerful backlash, causing his blood and qi to dissipate and his body to be severely injured. He was able to stabilize the situation only by relying on his powerful primordial spirit and spiritual consciousness to suppress it.
The little wood elf also suffered a backlash, but it was not seriously injured, just a little sluggish. Only the main character Qiu Zhen was seriously injured.
"Not bad, similar to the situation deduced by the Primordial Spirit and Dharmakaya."
The injured Qiu Zhen looked inside himself and felt very satisfied.
Even though he was seriously injured, he did not regret it. He only felt excited and happy.
Firstly, it was necessary for him to kill the two men, whether for his own future or for those innocent children.
Secondly, despite being injured, he gained a lot.
Now he is like a "baby", in a critical period of exploring the world and finding the boundaries of his power.
Taking action now is an opportunity to clearly understand yourself and discover the treasure of your "primordial spirit".
It is indeed a bad thing as it damages your Qi and blood, hinders your practice, and greatly reduces your power.
However, besides enlightenment, there are other good things as well.
"Baizhu, give me the treasure!"
"Sir, give it!"
Bai Zhu handed over a palm-sized piece of emerald green jade.
This is not a piece of jade, but a wooden heart, which is the foundation-building item of the middle-aged Yin Shen master.
"Under the thunder of heaven, all the demons in the foundation-building artifacts were annihilated. Thunder magic is worthy of being the leader of all magic. The thunder of heaven cleansed and the demons were reduced to ashes. This wave is worth it."
Qiu Zhen was extremely satisfied, and immediately his soul body at the center of his brows absorbed the remaining soul of the demon, emitting golden light, purifying the remaining evil thoughts and extracting the essence of spiritual energy.
His problem was that he suffered backlash and his qi and blood were dissipating.
As long as the "spiritual essence" is replenished, the situation can be reversed immediately.
It's late at night and I'm lonely.
Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged in meditation, entered a state of tranquility, and began to refine the "spiritual essence" internally, transforming it into essence, qi and blood.
After one night, purple air came from the east.
Rays of morning light fell on Qiu Zhen.
"Whoo~"
Qiu Zhen exhaled a breath of foul air. The weak breath and pale complexion from last night disappeared. His face became rosy and his blood in his body became strong and surging.
"It is estimated that the fourth level of Medicine King Five Animal Exercises will be completed in 181 days."
“Not a loss, but a profit.”
Qiu Zhen was very satisfied. A few days ago, his soul deduced that it would take him another 250 to 260 days to complete the fourth level of the acquired realm, but now it only takes a little over 180 days.
In other words, this time when he encountered backlash when controlling the thunder, not only did his power not regress, but it actually improved.
"My lord, you're awake!"
Baizhu and the little wood spirit came over quickly and looked Qiu Zhen up and down with great concern.
"Well, I made a lot of money after recovering from my injury."
Qiu Zhen touched Baizhu, the little wood spirit, and was in a very good mood. Then his eyes fell on the jade "tree heart" in front of him.
Another rare item for building the foundation.
If he didn't sell this treasure, he didn't know what to do with it.
These days, I have been discussing philosophy with Master An and occasionally chatting about everything under the sun. My knowledge has greatly increased and I have gained some new insights.
Immediately, he took a hoe from the yard and buried the "Mu Xin" in the medicinal field.
The foundation-building objects buried in the blessed land can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, suppress the luck, and strengthen the energy of the blessed land. It is wonderful.
If he kills more evil cultivators in the future, his blessed land will become more prosperous in no time.
From now on, when you need a foundation-building item, you can just take it out. It is very convenient.
After dealing with all this, Qiu Zhen took out two golden pages of a book from his arms.
The man who controlled the mechanical beast had no treasures or magical inheritance on him. The ordinary silver bills were burned by the lightning and fire, and nothing was found after searching the corpse.
This item was found on a young woman.
The woman was cooked by the lightning and fire, but the two pages of the book were not burned.
【Evil Ghost Wind Method】
【Heart-stimulating Arrow Technique】
"Two evil spells that injure people."
After Qiu Zhen pondered for a while, he soon understood what was going on and couldn't help but think of the night when he had fought with the old man "Yuanhua".
The spell that the opponent used to plot against him must have been the [Evil Ghost Wind Spell].
Speaking of which, this spell is quite good. As long as you plan ahead and prepare well, you can hurt people invisibly from several miles away, or even ten miles away, and its power is also quite good.
However, at that time, Qiu Zhen had just had a breakthrough, and his blood and energy were surging, which just happened to overcome the old man's Yuanhua, so he was not hurt.
Normally, this spell would definitely make him suffer.
In addition, [Mind-stimulating Arrow Technique] and [Evil Ghost Wind Technique] are a set of spells. After [Evil Ghost Wind Technique], you can cast [Mind-stimulating Arrow Technique], which can cast hidden arrows, curses and injure people, which is extremely vicious.
At that time, if he had not broken the [Evil Ghost Wind Technique] in the first place, the opponent would have used this [Mind-stimulating Divine Arrow Technique] to hurt him.
"This woman has a close relationship with the old man Yinshen. This kind of secret inheritance method has been given to the woman for personal study."
Qiu Zhen felt even more fortunate that he had taken action this time.
If he didn't take action this time, given their relationship, this woman might come looking for him after the storm had passed, causing him to get involved in disputes again.
He was not afraid of the woman's revenge afterwards, he just didn't want to get into trouble and just wanted to practice well.
"Finally I can practice in peace."
Qiu Zhen was in a more and more cheerful mood. Just when he was about to praise Baizhu and Xiaozaozi who were squatting beside him, he suddenly sensed something and reached into his arms.
There are unusual movements in the Jade Talisman [Miro Palace].
The spiritual consciousness sinks.
A little surprised.
Monk Zhenkong and Fairy Yunrou came to look for him at the same time early in the morning.
Immediately, he sank his consciousness and replied.
"Daoyou Zhenkong, Fairy Yunrou, you two came to me in such a hurry this early in the morning, but what big thing happened?"
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you are finally here."
Fairy Yunrou seemed a little anxious:
"It's not us who have a big event. It's you in Qingmu who have a big event last night. I heard that a powerful senior cultivator has appeared in your place?"
Qiu Zhen was stunned.
A senior cultivator with great magical powers?
Who are you talking about?
"Where did you hear that?"
"Of course it's the Changle Prefecture Demon Suppression Division. It's said that last night, in the mountains near the mountains in the far suburbs of your Qingmu City, an old monster who had refined his Qi and turned into a god, no, an old senior controlled thunder and killed the evil cultivator who abducted and sold young boys and girls. When the news came, it shocked the entire Changle Prefecture that night, and the Prefecture Master couldn't sleep all night."
"Those who can control thunder are all old monsters who have awakened their primordial spirits. They have great magical powers and are true great seniors."
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you also practice thunder magic and are also in Qingmu. Do you have some connection with this old senior? Could it be that you are his disciple?"
PS: Book lovers, the book will be on the shelves at noon on the 21st.
