After the Skyfall

Chapter 424 New Law
The bald Taoist priest, who had just displayed his supernatural powers and killed a Jindan cultivator with one breath, now became weak again. His breath weakened at an unimaginable speed and his magic power was once again exhausted. However, after exhaling the foul air just now, he felt at least 20 years younger and felt indescribably comfortable all over his body.

But then he felt sad about the twenty spirit stones he had just obtained.

This is top-notch stuff. It was valuable before the Dharma Ending Age, let alone now.

However, although the bald Taoist's move just now seemed casual, he actually made full use of the twenty spirit stones to the extreme. Not only did he use this spiritual energy to re-temper himself, expel the turbid air, and rejuvenate, he also helped Li Yi kill a powerful enemy and did a favor. Of course, the most important thing was that he had to spend all the twenty spirit stones in front of everyone to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble.

"Why should we save you? There are not many customers like you who are conscientious and generous. Besides, if a customer was buying something at the Taoist's stall and was suddenly killed, where would the face of the Taoist Weapon Sect be?" said the bald Taoist.

Li Yi said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that you can recover this level of strength with twenty spirit stones. Wouldn't it be better if you could blow it at me? Kill me, and everything in my magic storage device will be yours."

"Then the flying sword turned around and cut off the Taoist's head?"

The bald Taoist looked at Li Yi with a clever look in his eyes and said, "Stop messing around. That little bit of spiritual stones is enough for me to make a move once. Now the three flowers on my head have all withered, and I have dropped a great realm. Even if my spiritual energy recovers in the future, I will have to cultivate again."

"What is the end of this miserable life?"

As he said this, he started to sob again.

"Baldy, don't take advantage of me. If you don't cut off the three flowers on the top of your head, you will not be able to survive for more than three years. Now you rely on the last bit of magic power to cut off your cultivation, exhale the foul air, and cleanse yourself. This will allow you to live at least another 30 years. As for your Taoist Weapon Sect, it has been destroyed long ago. I told you last time that your Qiankun Ding was useless, but you didn't believe it. Now be honest." A middle-aged Taoist nun couldn't help but scold.

"Guan Gui Liu, your Sanhua Sect is not much better. The Nine-Leaf Green Lotus of your sect withered and died ten years ago. Only a shriveled lotus seed is left. Do you think that lotus seed can grow a green lotus again? After all, the Qiankun Ding of my Daoqi Sect has lasted longer than yours." The bald Taoist immediately jumped up and retorted bluntly.

“What shriveled lotus seeds? Those are the seeds of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. As long as the spiritual energy is restored and the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus is cultivated well, it will bloom again. The foundation of my Sanhua Sect is still there, unlike your Daoqi Sect which has nothing left.” Liu Guzi’s face also flushed.

The bald Taoist said, "Bullshit, everyone knows that the heritage of the Daoqi Sect is a cauldron and a furnace. The Qiankun Cauldron is gone, but there is still the Tiandi Furnace."

"Baldy, come on. The Heaven and Earth Furnace of your Daoqi Sect was sold to Duobao Tower by your sect leader senior brother five years ago in exchange for half a spirit stone. In the end, the sect leader of your Daoqi Sect couldn't even catch his breath and died. Now the Heaven and Earth Furnace has probably been treated as scrap and eaten as mutton hotpot." said an old Taoist on the side.

The bald Taoist cursed again, "Mr. Wu, didn't your leader of the Hundred Dao Sect pass away long ago? I don't even know where the Heavenly Dao Map has gone. And you still have the nerve to laugh at me? Last month I saw your beloved disciple going to the mountain to chop wood and exchange it for some rice to support you. You might as well just die as a master to avoid being a burden to your disciple. Besides, you haven't been open for half a month, so the rice jar must have been empty a long time ago. Look at your face, you are so skinny that only skin is left."

Taoist Wu pointed at him with his fingers shaking in anger. Then his eyelids fluttered, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Li Yi took a look and hurried over to support him.

"This old guy is hungry and has no energy to quarrel. He can't catch his breath and fainted. Just give him some food and he will be fine." said the bald Taoist. He now exhaled a breath of foul air and felt full of energy and strength.

Seeing this, Li Yi took out a bottle of extraordinary nutrient solution from the storage magic tool, then opened it and gave him a sip.

Taoist Wu, who was lying on the ground, woke up immediately after taking a sip of the nutrient solution. Then he opened his eyes wide, snatched the bottle and started to drink it, just like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"What good stuff is that? Elixir? Not really, I haven't seen it before."

The bald Taoist opened his eyes wide and stared at the extraordinary nutrient solution, but he couldn't recognize what it was. However, he knew that this thing was definitely very filling. The almost starving Taoist Wu took a bite and immediately came back to life.

"It feels so good. I haven't eaten so much in a long time."

At this moment, Taoist Wu let out a long sigh and licked his lips with satisfaction.

This thing also contains spiritual energy. Although the amount is not much, it at least helps me to regulate the body's breath so that I won't suddenly die one day. And after drinking a bottle, I feel full as if I had eaten a cow. I feel like I don't need to eat for half a month.

"I'm glad you're alright. However, to thank this bald boss for saving me, please accept the spoils from this enemy."

At this moment, Li Yi saw Shan Yi coming back with the body of the Jindan monk. He immediately took off the storage magic tool from the Jindan monk, stripped off his Taoist robe, and stuffed them all into the bald Taoist's hands.

But the bald Taoist threw them on the ground and said, "In the Dharma Ending Age, what use do I have for these things? I can't eat them, nor can I use them. Besides, I used to be the elder of the Daoqi Sect, so I have all kinds of magic weapons. You can take these things back. If you really want to repay me for saving your life, please teach me new methods so that I can continue my journey."

As he said this, he knelt down with a plop.

After saying this, not only the bald Taoist priest, but several owners of other stalls also knelt down, begging Li Yi to teach them the new method.

"Is this your new method?"

Li Yi hurriedly supported him again: "Boss Bald, how can I know any new methods? You are all the leaders and elders of your sects, and you are proficient in the way of cultivation. If I want to ask for advice, it should be you who I ask for advice."

"You don't know any new tricks, then what was that silver aura that broke out of your body just now, rising like fire and invading all directions?" the bald Taoist asked.

Li Yi opened his palms and silver energy condensed out: "Are you talking about this?" After saying that, he waved his hand casually, and the energy condensed into a silver steel knife that slashed at the wall not far away, instantly tearing a huge hole in the fragile wall.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. Can you teach me? I really want to learn it." The bald Taoist nodded hurriedly.

"This is not magic, this is strong energy."

Li Yi said, and then he realized that it seemed that the martial arts of the four seas and eight continents were very suitable for this world of cultivation in the Dharma Ending Age. After all, martial arts did not rely on the energy between heaven and earth. It was enough to strengthen the Qi and blood. Moreover, practicing it to a certain extent could bring about strong strength and prolong life.

Although it's not as good as practicing Taoism, this is the end of the Dharma. It's better to have martial arts than nothing.

"Ganqi, what is Gangqi?" Taoist Wu on the side asked hurriedly.

Li Yi said: "Temper the Qi and blood in the body into an internal Qi, and then condense this internal Qi, it can be transformed into an indestructible Gang Qi, which can kill people from a hundred steps away and fly ten feet above the ground."

"So weak?" asked Aunt Liu in surprise.

As a result, the bald Taoist glared at him anxiously and said, "If you can't speak, don't speak. No one thinks you are a mute."

After being glared at, Aunt Liu immediately shut up in dismay.

She also realized that she was no longer as strong as she was in her former peak and had no right to be picky. It would be great if she could find a way to restore her strength, even a small part of it.

Otherwise, a wild dog can bite a Taoist master to death.

"It is very weak, far worse than practicing Taoism, and the achievements are limited. You were all once top masters. It would be a waste if you switched to martial arts." Li Yi said. Although his martial arts were suitable for ordinary people in this world, they were not suitable for the surviving Taoist masters in this world.

They are all old and frail, with declining energy and blood, and it would be difficult to achieve results even if they practice for a lifetime.

"So this is called martial arts? Then is it possible to practice martial arts without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" The bald Taoist asked the key question.

Li Yi said: "It is indeed possible to get rid of the shackles of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"That's great." Upon hearing this, the bald Taoist priest cheered and jumped for joy.

As long as it does not rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, martial arts is the new method, and it is the hope and dawn of their future.

"I want to learn martial arts. Can you teach me?" the bald Taoist asked excitedly.

Li Yi touched his chin and said, "You saved my life, so I have no problem teaching you martial arts. However, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."

"That's right. Let's go to my cave." The bald Taoist priest hurriedly began to pack up his stall.

"Do you think your cave is still the paradise it once was? Now it is just a damp and wet broken cave. My benefactor, don't go to his house. If you want to go, go to Tianxiang Tower. It is the best place in the Taoist temple. There are food and drinks, and beautiful Taoist nuns accompany you. It is said that the proprietress of Tianxiang Tower was once a goddess of the Tiandao Sect. She was born with a Taoist body and was graceful. She was praised as the best person in the Tiandao Sect in the past 5,000 years."

Taoist Wu standing aside showed a longing look at this moment.

"Yes, let's go to Tianxiang Tower." The bald Taoist's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Li Yi said: "It doesn't sound like a serious place."

"Nonsense, how can it be so unserious? The Tiandao Sect is one of the three major sects in the world. It has been in power for tens of thousands of years and has remained prosperous. Compared with it, the Daoqi Sect is simply a side sect. Recently, the Taoist nuns of the Tiandao Sect have learned a new dance music which is very moving. They will definitely not let their benefactor down." said the bald Taoist.

“???” Why did Li Yi feel like he was going to a brothel.

But for some reason, my body was very honest and followed the two old Taoists.

"A dishonest old fellow."

Aunt Liu spat, but when she thought of the temptation of the new law, she shamelessly packed up her stall and followed.

Other stall owners who came to watch the fun followed closely behind.
