Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 148: Deducing the Five Elements Hammer, Advancing to the Eighth Level of Condensing Evil
Lu Cheng had been holding back on using his innate blood and fire magical powers, just to be on the lookout for any Southern Demon Cult masters who might suddenly attack at a critical moment.

As a result, the two sides fought for fourteen hours, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Until the death of Old Man Sad Demon, no high-level cultivator from the Southern Demon Cult took action.

The reason why the battle lasted for fourteen hours was that the five elements of heaven and earth in the certain area that Lu Cheng could sense and control was limited.

Therefore, he only performed six Five Elements Hand Seals in total. This was certainly not because the Five Elements vitality between heaven and earth had been completely drained by him, but because he could only do this at his current level.

If one cultivates to the Golden Core realm, one can absorb the energy of the Five Elements Great Handprint at one's current level by turning the space between one's palms.

In Lu Cheng's perception, the vital energy between heaven and earth is still linear, connecting everything like a web of heaven and earth. But in the eyes of the Jindan Zhenren realm cultivators, perhaps the vital energy of heaven and earth that constitutes this world is composed of ripples or even particles. They can observe this world in a more detailed and microscopic way.

Of course, it can also be understood that Lu Cheng's ability to sense and manipulate the vital energy of heaven and earth is still at the surface level. The Jindan Zhenren and even cultivators at a higher level have abilities of sensing and manipulation far superior to his.

The most precious possessions on Old Man Beimo were, of course, those spirit insect bags. Although he was shattered to pieces, Lu Cheng's control over the Five Elements Palm Power was exquisite, and the defense of the storage magic weapon was very strong, so these spirit insect bags were still preserved.

Lu Cheng took it back and returned to Chixin Temple. Because of this battle, he had some insights.

So in the next few months, Taoist Lu Cheng practiced in seclusion, and several refining furnaces in the Chixin Temple remained burning.

In the weapon refining hall of Chixin Temple,
A female Taoist priest in a blue and white Taoist robe stood in the hall, her figure as straight as a pine tree.

Her face was fair but resolute, and her eyebrows were long but strong, like two sharp sword blades. This resulted in her temperament being too cold despite her beautiful face.

Luo Peifang is a third-rank high-grade weapon refiner. She can use the power of earth fire to break the restrictions on old man Bei Mo’s spirit insect bags.

However, in order to prevent the spiritual insects from rushing out and hurting people, Chen Qingfeng also has to control the Seven Stars Evil-Breaking Formation to guard it during this period of time, so everyone has to work harder.

However, after beheading Old Man Sad Demon, destroying Demon-Suppressing Villa and getting rid of the major threat, everyone is happy even if they are a little busy during this period.

As time went by, a few days later, Luo Peifang came to the cauldrons and looked at the temperature. He then used magic to capture a spirit insect bag and handed it to a Taoist boy, saying:

"The restrictions on this spirit insect bag have been burned away. Send it to your Grandmaster Lu."

"Yes."

The little Taoist boy bowed his head with excitement. The Chixin Temple was really powerful these days. Even these young boys felt proud and ashamed. They admired Patriarch Lu very much.

At this time, he was just going to deliver something to Master Lu, and his little face seemed to be shining. His companions around him all looked at him with envy.

But because of this, the little Taoist boy in the blue and white Taoist robe ran out a little too quickly, and when he ran over the stairs, he fell with a cry.

The spirit insect bag in his hand was thrown high up and then dropped to the ground.

This was really a very low-level mistake. The Taoist children of Chixin Temple have to undergo orthodox Taoist cultivation since childhood and follow the authentic way of Xuanmen. Not to mention the skills, they must also have the words calmness and tranquility. Being so rash and even at a loss is really a problem that is unlikely to happen.

But as soon as the spirit insect bag hit the ground, a buzzing sound instantly came from inside.

Seeing this, even Luo Peifang's expression changed slightly.

But at this moment, Chen Qingfeng, who was also meditating with his eyes closed in the hall, suddenly opened his eyes, waved a spell, and then pointed at the void.

A phantom talisman suddenly appeared in the void and then fell on the spirit insect bag.

Under the suppression of the magic talisman, the chirping sounds of insects that originally made people panic and fearful gradually disappeared.

"In a hurry, after delivering the spirit insect bag, the daily meditation homework will be extended by two hours."

"……Yes."

The little Taoist boy stood up aggrievedly and answered, then carefully carried the spirit insect bag towards the back mountain.

After this incident, Luo Peifang continued to look after the cauldron, and Chen Qingfeng continued to meditate. The two had been engaged since childhood, yet they seemed like strangers.

Watch the back mountain with a sincere heart.

"Ancestor, Ancestor Lu, Uncle Luo said that the restriction in this spirit insect bag has been broken."

The little Taoist boy held up the bag of spirit insects and shouted loudly.

The next moment, the bag of spirit insects in his hand flew out of his hand due to a force that appeared out of nowhere, and then flew into a dense cave in the forest.

"I can't let you make this trip in vain. Here are two bottles of Qi-nourishing pills. Take them intermittently within ten years. They can help replenish your Qi."

There is no need to cultivate magical powers in the innate realm, but with these two bottles of qi-nourishing pills, you can save a lot of hard work.

"Thank you for the reward, Grandmaster."

The little Taoist boy bowed and then ran away happily.

Inside the stone cave where he was in seclusion, Lu Cheng waved his hand to open the spirit insect bag, and a large number of spirit insects poured out of it. However, as Lu Cheng raised his sleeves, a golden light covered the bag, and no matter how many flying insects poured out of the bag, they were swallowed by the golden light until there was not a single one left.

All of these spiritual insects were thrown by Lu Cheng into the insect world where the poisonous golden silkworm Gu were entrenched. If they had the ability, they would fight their way out. If they didn't, they would be eliminated by the survival of the fittest and become the nourishment for the advancement of the poisonous golden silkworm Gu population.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng closed his eyes and reflected on the previous battle.

"I used six Five Elements Great Hand Seals to kill him. Later, the Sad Demon Old Man saw the flaw in my spell and deliberately returned to the area where I had used it. He used a lower concentration of Five Elements Qi to slow down my spell casting and reduce its power. However, he realized it too late and the situation was irreversible...

After I gather the five elements of energy from heaven and earth and fuse them into magical power, can I condense it without releasing it, and release it without dispersing it?"

As he thought deeply, Lu Cheng began to control the seals in his hands and deduce according to his own ideas.

As time passed and his mind became immersed in it, gradually, tiny light balls of five colors, blue, red, white, yellow and black, began to fly and rotate around Lu Cheng's body.

The Five Elements Hammer is not as fierce and overbearing as the Five Elements Handprint, which can overwhelm people with force, but it pays more attention to the endless circulation of the five elements, the transformation of reality and illusion, and cleverness hidden in strength.

call.

As Lu Cheng swung his weapon, the five tiny balls of light flew all over the air and struck the rocks, causing them to shatter with extraordinary power.

"……call."

“No, the Five Elements Great Seal may be transformed into the Five Elements Hammer Technique, but with my current realm and cultivation, I will either have to work hard for decades or have a sudden enlightenment, otherwise it will be impossible to achieve success. The current Five Elements Hammer is the innate realm technique that I forcibly deduced with my great magic power, and it does not have actual combat power.

Perhaps there are such techniques in the Xiantian sect that I can learn and comprehend, saving me many years of hard work."

Because of the enlightenment he gained from killing the old man Sad Demon, Lu Cheng secluded himself in a stone cave in the back mountain of Chixin Temple for more than half a year.

This seemed very normal to others. To kill a cultivator in the Liangang realm with the seventh level of Condensing Sha cultivation, even if it was the world-famous Five Elements Sword City, it was reasonable for him to rest for more than half a year. Old Man Beimo was not a weakling.

In fact, Lu Cheng spent most of his time in the stone cave swallowing the Five Elements True Evil in the Five Elements True Evil Gourd. As the Five Elements True Evil poured out, it was integrated and refined into Lu Cheng's magic power. The Taoist's magic power grew by leaps and bounds.

Finally, after a day of practice, the accumulation of quantitative changes led to qualitative changes. Lu Cheng felt that his five elements of magic power naturally entered into a new running route as if it were a natural process, opening up some tiny meridian branches.

Improve your overall magic power to a higher level.

Accompanied by a slight explosion, the level of magic power was raised to the eighth level of Condensing Evil.

"what!"

With a clear whistle and his head raised, the Taoist figure instantly escaped from the stone cave where he was in seclusion.

I have been sitting in that stone cave for more than half a year. Today, my magic power has broken through. Even if I don’t come out immediately, I should come out to ride the wind and relax my muscles.

As the night falls, blue and purple stars twinkle, embedded in the deep sky. The bright moon hangs in the sky, casting silver light, just like a clear stream, flowing slowly in the quiet night.

The Taoist rode the wind, traveling in mid-air. The breeze blew gently past, and he could hear the rustling sound of the grass and trees below.

If the practice goes smoothly, people will be free. I am so lucky that I can be reborn into this world, looking for immortals and swords, pursuing immortality, and proving that the gods never decline.

Lu Cheng's Five Elements Condensed Evil Magical Power is profound and unparalleled. Taking advantage of the night, he rides on the wind and lies on his back between heaven and earth, leisurely and carefree.

They drifted around like this for half the night, and Lu Cheng almost fell asleep.

His spiritual sense, which was spreading freely but extremely sharp, suddenly made him notice a sneaky figure in Taoist robes below.

If it was just an ordinary sneaky act, Lu Cheng might have let it go today.

But this person happened to be Chen Qingfeng. In addition to the Chijun faith, Lu Cheng almost gave him the entire Chixin Temple. What else was there that Chen Qingfeng, as the temple master, needed to hide?
Lu Cheng’s first thought was to turn around and leave. Even friends have their own secrets.

But Lu Cheng quickly thought of what his concubine Xue Yuzhen had said to him:

"Master, Brother Chen might be entangled by a lowly maid like Madam Ruyu. As the saying goes, 'You can't hold back a boat on a rapid beach, and you will die as fast as an arrow in the sea of ​​​​qi'..."

Mo Yan met a fairy among the flowers, but exchanged the golden scepter for tiles. The tree roots have rotted and the leaves are green, the sea of ​​qi is surging and death is as fast as an arrow. This is a Taoist saying about the difficulty and danger of men and women practicing herbal medicine together. If you practice well, you will ascend to heaven step by step. If you don't practice well, you will die as fast as an arrow.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng finally flew down.

Chen Qingfeng, who was usually calm and composed, came to the back mountain stealthily, looked around, then drew a talisman in the air and hit it into a rock.

Click, click, click, whoosh.

The rock opened up in the middle, revealing a secret cave. Chen Qingfeng entered it, but he didn't notice that a swift phantom behind him also flashed in with him.

After walking through the long alley of the cave and turning many corners, one arrives at a luxuriously decorated room. Inside the room, a stunningly beautiful woman is sitting in front of a mirror, drawing her eyebrows.

She had long black hair mixed with some wine red that fell to her waist, a round, pretty face, white and petite, bright eyes covered by long eyelashes, thin and delicate lips, and was dressed in a red dress. Her elbows were white like lotus roots, and her legs were as white as lotus flowers. She was a beauty that would make anyone forget their worries when they saw her. However, her body was a little illusory, but ordinary people could not see it in the dim stone room.

"Chen Lang!"

Sensing the presence behind her, the beauty suddenly turned around and flew directly towards Chen Qingfeng.

Chen Qingfeng seemed to be extremely excited at this moment. He opened his arms and walked forward, holding the beauty directly in his arms.

"Chen Lang is bad, Chen Lang is bad! You just left Qing'er here and didn't care about her. Qing'er hates you to death." Although he said the hatred, he hugged Chen Qingfeng tightly like an octopus. The beauty was so affectionate that even a Taoist who was pure and had no desires could hardly resist.

"Oh, Qing'er, I miss you too, but I've been so busy lately. Otherwise, do you think I don't want to see you? I wish I could spend every day with you."

Chen Qingfeng, who was usually steady and serious, begged and coaxed for a long time before Qing'er finally gave him a little good look. Then the two of them exchanged some sweet words, gradually got closer and closer, lay down on the bed and started making love.

Chen Qingfeng has been practicing Taoism since he was young. He has sufficient essence and is also a foundation-building cultivator. After a night of passionate battle, he enjoyed all the sweetness and tenderness.

But on the next day, when this Taoist stood up, his face looked a little pale.

This is normal, as he was as brave as a tiger last night and his yang energy was depleted.

"Are you leaving again?"

"Qing'er, there are still many things in the temple that I need to deal with. Be good, tell me what you want, and I will bring it to you."

After some sweet talk, Qing'er let Chen Qingfeng leave.

However, Chen Qingfeng did not see that after he left the cave and the door closed, Li Qing's face behind him looked as scary as a ghost.

Or rather, she was.

Li Qing, the eldest of the four major surnames of Li, Tu, Zou and You in Shiyuan County fifty years ago, was the eldest daughter of the Li clan. Later, she was killed by the unorthodox cultivator Zuo Yin Fu and turned into a fire demon.

Zuo Yin Fu wanted to seize the martial arts manuals of Huoyun Mansion. He met Chen Qingfeng, who was in charge of the formation, in Chixin Temple. He was defeated and killed by Chen Qingfeng. Chen Qingfeng felt sorry for Li Qing and subdued him. In the blink of an eye, that was more than 50 years ago.

Li Qing was watching from behind Chen Qingfeng, and Lu Cheng was standing behind Li Qing and watching. Between the five fingers of his right hand, green Yi Mu divine lightning was leaping.

With just a slight wave of his hand, the ghost spirit Li Qing would be reduced to ashes by the thunder magic.

But after a little thought, Lu Cheng temporarily dispersed his thunder magic.

He had cultivated the sword intent and was particularly sensitive to other people's murderous intent. Lu Cheng could clearly sense that at that moment, Li Qing had murderous intent towards Chen Qingfeng, and it was difficult to suppress it.

"Yes, in Brother Chen's eyes, he protected and nurtured her for fifty years, but in this woman's eyes, she was imprisoned and raised as a slave for fifty years.

From a different perspective, these are two completely different things.”

Lu Cheng reached out and peeled off the exquisite decorations in the cave, and found that behind those decorations were ghost-suppressing talismans.

This place is both a protection and a cage. Although Chen Qingfeng is confused by the temptation, he still maintains basic caution.

Taoism has a method of raising ghost spirits, but having sex with ghosts is the biggest taboo of all. This is because the human body is yang and the ghost body is yin, and when the yin and yang of the two are combined, the pleasure will be a hundred times stronger than normal dual cultivation. Therefore, any cultivator who does this, no matter how deep his original Taoist foundation is, will end up in ruin.

Most of the common things have a chance of happening, but I have never heard of a thing like this that even has a chance of happening.

In the following days, Lu Cheng continued to practice in seclusion in the cave.

But now, he would take some time out every day to go to the main hall, and use the divine power of the Red Heart God Statue to cultivate his own peach wood Red God Statue.

Practicing in this way will of course lead to the radiance of divine power.

"Ah..."

Inside the secret cave, Chen Qingfeng and Li Qing were enjoying lovemaking. Suddenly, a red light seemed to flash outside, and Li Qing held his head and wailed.

As the guardian god of Taoism, Lord Chixin's divine power naturally has the ability to eliminate evil and delusions, and he is naturally able to suppress ghosts.

"What's wrong, Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"

"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, I, I feel like I'm being thrown into a fire! Chen Lang, Chen Lang, please let me go, I will come back after a while. If you continue like this, I will die! Ahhhhh."

"Qinger!"

In the Chixin Temple, Chen Qingfeng can control the power of the Seven Stars Evil-Breaking Array. Even a cultivator who has condensed his evil spirit and refined his energy may not be able to fare well in this array.

But at this moment he did not dare to mobilize all his strength to resist the expansion of Chijun's domain, otherwise, this place would be exposed to the world.

How would he face Qingyun, Lucheng, and...

Therefore, Chen Qingfeng could only use all his strength to mobilize his magic power and input it into Li Qing's body so that she could feel a little better.

But at this moment, Chen Qingfeng did not notice that the look in Li Qing's eyes as he looked at him was becoming more and more hateful and ferocious.

Chen Qingfeng also didn't dare to let Li Qing go. It was okay at other times, but during the days he lived in Chixin Temple in Lu Cheng, if a ghost appeared in the temple.

Chen Qingfeng very much doubted that Lu Cheng would sense it at the first moment.

This old friend of mine was truly a genius in the practice of Taoism. In just fifty years, his Taoist skills and magical powers had already caught the attention of all the Jindan Zhenren in the world. Even the masters of the Refining Gang realm would have difficulty escaping from his sword.

He is truly a killer star that only appears once in a thousand years. Thinking of this, and then thinking about his own path, Chen Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.

This day was the day when Lu Cheng practiced the mysterious Taoism and Chi Jun's divine power was at its peak. Chen Qingfeng deliberately put aside some affairs in the temple and came to the secret cave. He hugged Li Qing and used his magic power to make her feel a little more comfortable.

But on this day, Li Qing's palm slowly touched Chen Qingfeng's lower abdomen. Chen Qingfeng didn't feel anything wrong, but the next moment he felt a sharp pain.

"what!"

Chen Qingfeng suddenly burst out with all his magic power and pushed Li Qing away with both hands. His face turned pale and his body fell back. When he touched his palm, he felt a burnt fire mark on his dantian. The fire poison invaded his body, causing Chen Qingfeng's originally pale face to quickly turn red.

"Wilderness Fire Seal, where did you learn this evil magic?"

The ghost magic Ghost Fire Seal is a fire magic that can only be cultivated and progressed with the souls of others as fuel. It is also one of the cruel and vicious types among the ghost magic.

Although this method is extremely powerful, practitioners will almost certainly go astray.

"Hahahaha, Chen Lang, ah Chen Lang, you and I have been in love every night, have you already forgotten that I am a ghost spirit? Ghost spirits are inferior to humans in all aspects, but there is one thing we can do to comprehend magic on our own. Of course, I have to thank you for sending me many Taoist scriptures because you were afraid that I would be bored."

At this moment, red ghost fire was spreading all over Li Qing's body, and the influence of Chi Jun's divine power on him seemed to be no longer so great.

"I showed you those Taoist scriptures in the hope that you could walk on the right path. Qing'er, the path of ghost cultivation is dark, cruel, and extremely difficult. You can't make it."

"But I am filled with hatred. How can I walk the right path?"

Chen Qingfeng's words seemed to anger Li Qing. She suddenly turned into a flame and swept Chen Qingfeng to the ground. Then she bound her body and smashed it heavily against the stone wall.

"You have imprisoned me for so many years, using me to vent your lust every night, and you want me to walk on the right path?"

Until today, Li Qing still clearly remembers that Chen Qingfeng was one of the people who destroyed the Li family back then, so she condensed a fire whip in her hand and lashed him with it one after another, beating Chen Qingfeng so hard that blood and flesh flew all over his body and his bones and tendons were broken.

Of course Chen Qingfeng wanted to fight back, but Li Qing's Ghost Fire Seal was too vicious. The Yin Chi Ghost Fire power was constantly eroding his Dantian, which made it difficult for Chen Qingfeng to even gather his magic power.

"Ah...ah..."

Chen Qingfeng's skin was torn and his wounds were burning and smelly. He seemed to be struggling and crawling unconsciously to avoid the fire whip.

But when he got close to the wall of the cave, he suddenly jumped up, picked out a paper talisman from the stone wall of the cave, bit his tongue, sprayed it with blood, and then threw it out.

Even if the third-level ghost-banning talisman cannot exert its full power, as long as it can make Li Qing exert some of its power, it will be enough for Chen Qingfeng to escape from the cave and turn the situation around.

But her injuries were too severe, and Li Qing had a keen sense of perception, so she suddenly turned her head and narrowly avoided the ghost-suppressing talisman which had a very weak magical power attached to it.

Sensing the restraining force on it, Li Qing was also shocked, but after successfully avoiding it, he was ecstatic for escaping a disaster.

He whipped Chen Qingfeng hard a few more times.

"Chen Lang, oh Chen Lang, you talk about your kindness to me every day, but what is this? Aren't you still on guard against me?"

"what."

Sitting on the ground, at this moment Chen Qingfeng was finally in complete despair.

"Even if you kill me, you can't escape. Lu Cheng is back. He has been practicing Taoism these days, which is why you are burning with divine fire and living a life worse than death. If you kill me and are caught by him, you will only end up with your soul torn apart. Qing'er, one night of marriage is worth a hundred days of love. If you let me live, I, Chen Qingfeng, swear on my Tao heart that after Brother Lu leaves, I will set you free."

Li Qing was silent after hearing this, seemed to hesitate for a while, and then whipped him fiercely several times.

"You have been with me for decades, how can there be any path for us? Rather than trusting you, I'd rather refine you, increase my magic power and have a better chance of escaping!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng's face turned ashen. Being refined by the Ghost Fire Seal would mean the end of one's soul being torn apart, which was almost the karmic consequence that cultivators feared the most.

"Qing'er, I have been very kind to you over the years, but I didn't expect you to hate me so much!"

Chen Qingfeng's pleading could not change Li Qing's mind. The evil ghost walked closer and closer, enjoying Chen Qingfeng's fear and pain.

But at this moment, Lu Cheng, who had been watching the show in secret for a while, used Taoist magic to walk out from the stone wall.

"I said that when combing the Chixin Temple's Qi, there will always be stagnation and unsmoothness. It turns out that there is a ghost in this plate."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng flicked his fingers and shot out several emerald green Yi Mu divine thunderbolts. With only a slight pressure from the fourth-tier Qing Ming flying sword, it was enough to directly restrain Li Qing, making him unable to move.

Then, Lu Cheng glanced at Chen Qingfeng, who was covered in wounds, and thought to himself, "An honest child made a big mistake."

After this incident, Chen Qingfeng's foundation in Taoism has been destroyed, but his character should have become more stable.

"Brother Chen, this is your private matter. I still have homework to do, so I'll leave it alone."

After saying that, Lu Cheng turned around and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After a while, Chen Qingfeng recovered. Amid Li Qing's cries and bitter and resentful curses, he condensed true fire with one palm and burned away his soul, and the blazing true fire fell down.
