After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 94 93. Yin and Yang Cultivation, People Leave but the Shadow Remains (4.1K words - please subscribe)
The ghost attacks the soul and takes over the body to commit suicide
This kind of alternative soul attack was also the first time that Song Yan used it.

After he finished his performance, he grabbed the two still unconscious wild boars and left gracefully, walking in the forest which was not considered a mountain path, stepping on the dead leaves and old vines accumulated from last winter.

The crisp sound of "crackling, crackling" made him relax, and at the same time he began to think about his current strength.

He now actually has three "magic systems" and three corresponding means of attack.

1. Spells based on "shadow puppets".

This is a method of Master Pi based on puppetry and "Hundred Aspects of Divine Control". Adding his own comprehension of "Hundred Aspects of Demonic Body", it can be said to be an integrated offense and defense. But to put it bluntly... This is a "summoning spell" with a very long "pre-casting period".

He must activate the shadow puppet first before he can cast "Hundred Aspects of Demonic Body".

Moreover, "The Hundred Aspects of the Demonic Body" also has a brief process of swallowing and self-change.

If you really encounter a strong enemy, the other party may not give you the time to complete the spell.

This means that he has a shortcoming in terms of instant emergency explosiveness.

However, due to the strength of the shadow puppets, the upper limit of "The Hundred Aspects of the Demonic Body" is also extremely strong. At least Song Yan feels that there is no problem using up the entire Crimson Palace Realm.

This is a BUG spell that can be learned by practicing Xuan, and the Crimson Palace is still powerful.

2. Sword spells.

This is a sword-controlling technique based on the "Illusionary Sword Classic", and modified by his own evil spirit.

It has fast bursts, quick attacks, and is straightforward. Although it is not very functional and can only be used to "kill, kill, kill", the advantage is that there is no "pre-casting" and it is not that complicated, so it can be used anytime and anywhere.

Song Yan's "Black and White" is still good, but it is ultimately intended to practice magic at the mysterious level.
3. Soul attack and defense.

With "The King of Tiger Blood" as the core, one can become invincible in resisting attacks from the spirit and soul, while also being able to accumulate ghosts.

The acquisition of "Night Candle Soul Worm Blood" enables the ghost to have the ability to attack violently at night.

This method is the most invisible way to kill people.

However, in combat with opponents of the same level, apart from his bizarre attack methods, he is considered relatively weak.

During the time he lived in seclusion in Chaoli County, Grandma Fox talked to him about the "Jiang Palace Realm" spell.

Obtaining "essence and blood" is naturally the first step, which is just like improving the realm of practicing Xuan.

Only by further mastering the spells can you maximize the power of your realm.

But in this respect, demons and humans are different.

Demons, any race that can become demons is inherently stronger than humans in "physical fitness". This can be seen from the fact that their body organs and skin can be used to make mysterious weapons and treasures, while humans cannot.

Therefore, demons will use their own race's blood as the main ingredient to develop a set of "secret blood techniques" that are suitable for their own race to perform.

The human race can only break through the realm by taking the Crimson Palace Pill, so in terms of "blood" itself in the Crimson Palace realm, it is bound to be weaker than that of demons.

However, the human race is not like the demons who only study the "secret art of their own essence and blood". They widely use weapons, talismans, formations, shadow puppets and other external objects.

Therefore, the human race relies mainly on "magic", supplemented by the fused essence and blood.

Although Song Yan obtained the 'blood of the tiger king', if he wanted to go further, he would either have to spend thousands of years in a small dark room "without practice, without communication, and behind closed doors" to comprehend magic, or "stand on the shoulders of giants" to seek the "secret art of the tiger king's blood" and the human race's "magic of the Crimson Palace level."

History and power can only be improved through practice, in the life and death collisions of various geniuses and races, and even in various unexpected coincidences. Even if we work behind closed doors for a million years, ten million years, one hundred million years, or five hundred million years, the Nautilus will still be a Nautilus, and the monkey will still be a monkey.

The greatest function of his "Yu Shou Dao Guo" is not to create something out of nothing, but to skip "other people's practice time", avoid "practice mistakes that others may make, or even go astray", as well as "spell mutations" to a certain extent, to create stronger spells.

Returning to the Candle Land Secret Realm, Song Yan had the same feeling as when he was in Nanzhu Peak, returning to the suspended room, and returning to the cave.

I'm busy all day and then go home to sleep at night.

The winding river gurgles, and in the moonlight it looks like a trembling silver ribbon.

The smell of soil and moisture from the leaves of the primeval forest mixed together and filled my nose.

He chose a riverside forest, threw the two wild boars there, and then jumped to the top of the cliff.

Here, he has built a wooden house, facing the sea of ​​clouds, watching the tides fall in the morning and rise in the evening.
However, even though fog rises at night, it is no longer fishy fog, and there are no ghosts hidden in the fog anymore.

There was only a hard wooden bed in the wooden house.

Mattresses, bedding, and daily household items can be purchased in towns if necessary.

He entered the house and lay down on the wooden bed, using his hands as pillow and stretching his legs comfortably. He was taking a short nap when he suddenly heard a noise coming from afar.

Song Yan rushed out to take a look, only to see that the two wild boars he had placed in the woods by the river had woken up. They were now running around in panic, looking around, and making "grunting" sounds.

Suddenly, the two wild boars made a "sound of being killed", howling sharply, and ran westward with weak limbs.

To the east, on the creek, a pretty lady in a black robe was seen walking towards this side, holding a bamboo pole in her hands and standing on a single log, with a black veil wrapped around her eyes, surrounded by a group of black clouds.

With a "da" sound, the canoe log came ashore.

The young lady put down the bamboo pole, looked up at Song Yan on the cliff, and asked loudly, "Brother Dao, is it convenient for you?"

Song Yan said: "Come up and tell me."

Madam Ling rose up on the black cloud, and those "Night Candle Soul Bugs" were like mysterious weapons, carrying her to the cliff, and then flew away with a "buzzing" sound.

Madam Ling bowed and said, "Brother Song, do you have any plans for dual cultivation?"

Song Yan: ???
Madam Ling said, "I don't know much about you, brother, but based on my understanding of the Puppet Sect, they would abduct women to be used as furnaces, and discard them at will if they become medicinal dregs. Brother, do you still plan to do this?"

After that, she did not wait for an answer and said directly: "If that is the case, Brother Dao does not need to worry about my existence. You only need to bring the girl back from outside and place her here for dual cultivation."

Song Yan shook his head and said, "This is not my intention. Now that I am here, it will naturally not be like this."

Madam Ling raised her lips slightly and said, "I have a copy of the Yin-Yang cultivation method of the Southern Wu Sword Sect and Xuan Sect. Although this method is not as domineering as the Guiding Technique of the Puppet Sect, it is better in that it is not plundering, but complementary.

If a man and a woman practice together, both can benefit.

Brother Dao, since you don't plan to use the Puppet Sect's methods anymore, are you willing to try this righteous dual cultivation method with me?
Although the method of dual cultivation cannot compare to the absorption of Xuan Qi and Xuan Jade, it is still a way to increase one's own Xuan Qi.

It is always good to find a fellow practitioner.

Although I am devoted to cultivation, I do not dislike you, brother. I just don't know what you think."

Song Yan nodded, thinking that this would help Madam Ling.

At the same time, for him, it was also a return to an old place.

After a while.
From the hut came the sound of Madam Ling mumbling a book. She seemed to have taken out a book and was reading from it.

"People should not let the yin and yang not interact, or they will suffer from diseases. If they indulge in lust and cannot control themselves, their life will be shortened. Those who are good at this can stop horse racing to nourish their brains."

After a long time, Madam Ling asked, "Brother Dao, do you understand?"

Song Yan sensed it briefly and felt that the techniques contained in it were indeed much gentler than those of the Puppet Sect.

The Puppet Sect emphasizes unilateral absorption of energy. The faster and more intensely, the better. Afterwards, the party whose energy is being absorbed will be extremely weak.

The authentic Xuanmen emphasizes slow and steady progress, moderation, and not being impatient. Therefore, compared to the Demonic Sect's approach of "collect as much as you can anytime, anywhere", the righteous approach is "only once a day, and it must be completed regardless of success or failure."

a moment
There was movement in the darkness.

"Brother Daoist, please don't move. Please follow the mantra of this Xuanmen Guidance Method."

"Brother, do you feel it? Hey, brother, today is considered a failure."

The next day, evening.

"Brother Dao, to prevent failure, let's make an appointment to count to three."

After a while.
"Almost. Just a little bit."

The third day.
"Brother Dao, today you and I should not do anything unnecessary. Since we are practicing, then we should just practice!
A small mistake can lead to a big error. If we fail again, the whole day will be wasted."

Madam Ling's voice was a little cold.

The failure of the previous two days made her feel a little irritated.

Song Yan nodded and straightened her up. Even though the latter's eyes were covered with black veil, Song Yan could still feel the gaze made between them and the seriousness in the other person's expression.

"Then let's get started."

"Brother Dao, please go first."

After a long time.
Madam Ling murmured, "Great, it finally worked."

Then she quickly stood up and said solemnly, “Brother Song, my sister’s control is complete.

At this moment, I realized how great this opportunity was. If it weren't for Brother Dao's help, I don't know what Grandma Zhu would do to me. "

Song Yan was not interested in this method of "absorbing other people's thoughts and thus controlling part of their inheritance". Such opportunities were full of troubles and unknowns, so he did not envy Madam Ling's control of the Candle Land. He just asked with concern: "Do you feel that there are abnormal thoughts in your mind that do not belong to you?"

Madam Ling shook her head and then asked, "Brother Song, do you have any unfinished business here?"

"Gone."

"Then let's set off for the Snake Corpse Market tomorrow morning.

It's just that the journey is long, and both you and I are wanted by the whole world.
Therefore, I plan to take a long detour from the southernmost edge of the wilderness of Southern Wu to Western Shu.

This will take more than twice as long as the normal journey, so you have to be patient, brother."

Song Yan thought about it and asked curiously: "During this period, I can hide in your secret place without showing up?"

Madam Ling nodded.

Song Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: The means of the Purple Mansion level cultivators are really unimaginable. Compared with attacking with "Xuanqi Xuanbao", using "secret realm" to make magic treasures is simply a "groundbreaking industrial revolution". Madam Ling is so powerful among the Xuan cultivators.

It was not without reason that Grandma Zhu was able to establish the Snake Corpse Market with her Xuan-cultivating body and herd the cultivators of the entire market.
Facts have proved that even though the world is in chaos, the impact on the remote and wild areas is actually very limited.

But this poor and barren land that is despised by both monks and dignitaries is many times worse than Chaoli County. Even the underworld gangs are too lazy to come here to occupy the territory, and the people here may not even know which dynasty they are under.
But even so, this is not a pure land for good people, but a paradise for thieves.

Those bandits hid in the mountains and could not be eliminated or killed;

Likewise, bandits would not come down the mountain to attack the surrounding villages and counties.

Of course, there may be the suspicion that "the government is nurturing bandits for its own benefit and repeatedly going to the countryside to brush up targets", but from another perspective, aren't it the thieves who are "keeping the villages and counties in a state of confinement"?
Half a month later, in a mountain field, under the moonlight.
Madam Ling was surrounded by more than thirty bandits.

The leader of the evil bandits shouted sharply, "Although she is wrapped tightly, her buttocks are very protruding. She must be a pretty girl. Why don't you follow me back to the mountains to enjoy the good life? I will make sure you are comfortable."

A bandit behind him said in a flowery tone: "Young lady, after tasting the taste of the grandfathers, you are reluctant to leave. Why are you leaving?"

Madam Ling didn't waste any words and moved her fingers slightly.

Another bandit who seemed to have some experience warned, "Don't move! There are more than thirty of us and you are alone. Even if you are a martial artist who is proficient in hidden weapons, you should just accept your fate today!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the bandits heard a buzzing sound.

The young lady in black robe was instantly shrouded in black clouds. Upon closer inspection, they were actually rustling black spots, which were strange insects smaller than wild bees.

The black cloud spread out in an instant and exploded into black fog, instantly covering more than thirty bandits.

The next moment.
More than thirty bandits fell to the ground, without any injuries on their bodies, but all of them were dead!

The black mist gathered and turned into black clouds as the lady in black robes thought about it, which dissipated around her like flowing water.

She was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped because a man suddenly appeared beside her.

Madam Ling asked curiously, "Brother Dao, what are you doing out here?"

"Wait a mininute."

After Song Yan finished speaking, he squatted down next to a bandit, pointed a finger, and began to search his soul.

But when I searched, I found that I couldn't find
This mortal's soul was completely shattered by the soul worm released by Madam Ling.

Madam Ling said, "These bandits deserved to die, and they won't have any information. Brother, please don't search souls too much. If you do it too much, your thoughts will become complicated, which is not good for your cultivation."

Song Yan nodded. He searched the soul because he was used to it and wanted to get some information, but the most important thing was that he wanted to find two suitable identities and keep "Grandma Fox" and the other fox demon shadow puppet.

Although the shadow puppet of "Grandma Fox" cannot cast any magic, her innate illusion and physical skills are at the middle level of the Crimson Palace, which is already the top level in this land.

"Grandma Fox" performed an illusion, and unless the top leaders of the Puppet Sect or Nanwu Jianmen were staring at her to identify her, it would be impossible to identify her.

That's good.

Even though he wanted to live in seclusion in the Snake Corpse Market, he would leave shadow puppets in Wu State to control them remotely in order to find the magic that suits him and the blood that is suitable to be placed in his "Zhongyou Palace".

"Next time, leave him alive." Song Yan said.

Madam Ling responded, "Since Brother Dao has spoken, I will do as you say."
