Holy Bone

Chapter 1913

Gift of skills!

A flying sword can be delivered from a thousand miles away, but a head can be taken from a thousand miles away!
The headless Jin'an casually pried a brick from a roadside building and, using his Taoist magic, "gifted" it to the Old Man of Li Huo from afar.

Here, I must mention again that the Yin-Yang Jade Bagua Compass that he specifically snatched from the Old Man of Li Huo during his battle with him was the wisest choice he ever made.

The Yin-Yang Jade Bagua Compass, imbued with the primordial spirit and karmic destiny of the Old Man of Fire, can not only help him locate and search for people, but also bring "heavenly blessings" from afar, providing constant assistance along the way.

Based on Jin An's past habits, since he could locate a person through their primordial spirit magic treasure, he should have used the "taking things out of a bag" technique more frequently.

Firstly, it can be used to kill opponents; secondly, it can be used to intercept and seize treasures; and thirdly, it can suppress opponents' Dao hearts and easily cause them to break through their defenses. It is an excellent means of killing and arson that is invincible.

However, this time he did not choose to use the "taking something out of a bag" technique, but instead used the "gifting technique" technique, which is contrary to the norm. The reason for this is actually very simple.

First, since the two are at roughly the same level of cultivation, the chances of failure are too high if they try to "take something from a baby" right under the old man's nose.

Moreover, the Old Man of Li Huo is not alone; he is currently with the Ten-Faced Buddha and the Golden Saintess. His use of the "Exploring Difficult Things" technique would be too drastic and would inevitably attract the attention of the Ten-Faced Buddha and the Golden Saintess, further increasing the probability of failure.

Moreover, it will greatly increase the risk of them getting into dangerous situations.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he temporarily abandoned the Taoist technique of "exploring and retrieving objects" which seemed to offer greater benefits.

There's nothing inherently bad about "gifting skills." If used properly, they can harm others for personal gain, allowing you to scam as much as you can.

If we could use the Li trigram position to add fuel to the fire and kill the Old Man of Fire in this Black Mountain City fraught with hidden dangers, that would be the best outcome.

As the brick in his hand transformed into a streak of rainbow light, soaring into the sky and heading towards the Qianli position in the southeast, the headless Jin An stopped, intently staring at the direction the rainbow light was heading. The three elders of Li Huo were advancing much faster than him in Black Mountain City, and the southeast direction was ahead of him. The rainbow light flew a distance ahead of him before landing on the ground.

The headless Jin An estimated the distance; the three old men, including the old man Li Huo, were about two to three li away from him on a diagonal line.

A straight or diagonal line would take two to three miles to travel; in the complex streets of a city, it would be at least one or two times longer.

It means he would have to chase them for three to nine miles before he could catch up with the Ten-Faced Buddha, the Old Man of Li Huo, and the Golden Saintess.

By observing the positions of the three elders, he could also deduce the approximate range of advance of the royal and secondary royal families.

This is the "self-serving" aspect of the "gifting technique." Unexpected disasters are harmful to others, while tracking down and locating the opponent is beneficial to oneself. This move directly erased the slight advantage that the three of them had in exploring Black Mountain City, and the situation was reversed, with him in the dark and the three of them in the light, giving him the initiative.

As the "gift of skills" descended from the sky, the area where the Old Man of Fire was located remained calm and showed no unusual activity.

Jin An, headless, pondered deeply.

He wasn't worried that the "gift of skills" would be ineffective or misplaced.

"You're quite patient. I'd like to see if your shell is thicker or if my Dao Qi is more abundant. Let's see how long you can endure."

The headless Jin An sneered inwardly. He had just sealed several spirit pearls, and now he was least afraid of a war of attrition.

He looked around and, this time instead of sending bricks and stones remotely, quickly found a more suitable object to give away.
