Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 378 Receiving the Goods
That night, the sky was clear and the moon was high in the sky, the stars were shining brightly, and everyone in Qianyang City was enjoying the cool air and eating melons.

Suddenly! With a loud "boom!", pure spiritual energy shot into the sky from the west of the city! Five-colored precious light filled the sky! The aurora borealis of the nine luminaries bloomed! The entire city was astonished!
"Holy crap! Such rich primordial spiritual energy! This must be a blessed land manifesting itself! A rare and precious treasure has been born!"

"Whoosh! The heavens and earth have changed color, and the universe has been turned upside down! The compass is spinning wildly! Who on earth is defying fate and reversing the workings of destiny!"

"Damn it! I must seize this supreme immortal opportunity! Marry the nine fairy maidens! Reach the pinnacle of life!"

"Opportunities! They're all my opportunities! Anyone who gets in my way, get out of my way!"

"Crackling and booming!"

Qianyang City was always bustling with people, with countless cultivators. Aside from refining Qi and fighting monsters, everyone had nothing else to do.

At this moment, seeing the opportunity erupting in the west of the city, how could they resist? They all thought that their main storyline had finally arrived! They stopped refining Qi, stewing pills, and forging swords. One by one, they put on their clothes, pulled up their pants, and went out. They chased each other, fought and snatched, and flew into the air together, heading towards the jujube forest to undergo their tribulation!

The current atmosphere in the cultivation world of the Central Plains is something everyone knows: everyone is eager for quick success, irritable and easily angered, selfish and self-centered, always ready to strike first, ready to wipe out an entire family at the slightest disagreement, and ready to create a battlefield of carnage with every move.

So, if one or two people happen to bump into each other while on the road, they will immediately start fighting. Soon, innocent people will be affected, triggering a chain reaction and igniting a mass battle. In an instant, there will be flashing swords and thunderous roars. In the blink of an eye, people will be fighting with heads broken and bodies scattered all over the ground. Bystanders not only cannot stop them, but also take the opportunity to kick them a few times.

Hmm, stop fighting? Are you kidding me? You finally mastered your skills and you're not fighting anymore, otherwise all your skills would be wasted.
So when Huangfu Yi, wearing a yellow crown, emerged from the mountain using earth magic, he saw only a raging fire burning the mountain, corpses strewn everywhere, and a fierce battle raging across the entire mountainside, like a grand spectacle. Before he could even figure out what was happening, he heard a whoosh behind him, and a brick flew out of the bushes to match his attack!
"Fa Bao!"

"Oh!"

The opponent, having been lying in wait for a long time, finally waited until someone emerged from the earth and immediately launched a flying brick attack—a practiced strike aimed straight at the back of the head! Even though Huangfu Yi was on guard and quickly turned his head, he was still hit on the shoulder by the brick! He immediately collapsed!
"Ha ha!"

The people in the bushes were overjoyed! They stared at the yellow crown on Huangfu Yi's head and pounced, unleashing a barrage of sword and palm strikes, first slashing his neck, then snatching the crown!

"Zhi!"

"what!"

Who knew that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! The creature crouching in the grass leaped out, but before it even landed, a golden knife suddenly flew down from the treetop! With a swift twist, it sliced ​​the man in two! He was instantly killed on the spot! Blood and flesh gushed out, his intestines spilling onto Huangfu Yi's body and smearing the ground! But this was not the end!

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

Before the people hiding in the trees could even show themselves, another fireball exploded from the sky! It hurtled straight towards the treetops! The cultivators in the trees also showed off their skills, raising their hands to unleash a Qi palm strike that dispersed the fireball in mid-air! In an instant, flames exploded everywhere, and sparks flew in all directions!

"Swipe!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Startled awake by the sounds of the battle, the crowd crouching in the sea of ​​fire in the jujube grove unleashed their magic and treasures, hurling them towards the source of the noise! ​​In an instant, five-colored treasures soared into the sky, and nine-colored true energy exploded wildly! Crackling and booming, the explosions and roars startled even ghosts and gods, shaking the earth and mountains!
He had barely emerged when he was ambushed and attacked. Blood was poured over his head and the scorching wind blew against his face. Lying in the pool of blood and the pile of dead bodies, Huangfu Yi could only sigh at the simple and honest customs of the mountain people and remain speechless.

Fortunately, he was alright.

After all, I had just practiced the "Refining Form Chapter" a little, with the infusion of innate true qi, the shaping of the body by the jade marrow immortal seed, and the guidance of the system's babbling idiots, I have finally made some progress.

Now Huangfu Yi has mastered all of the skills, which can be considered a minor achievement of divine power. Not only has healed his injuries, but he has also leveled up. It's as if he has broken free of some shackles, and his physical fitness has been greatly enhanced once again. Although he has not yet been professionally assessed, he has at least been upgraded from a mere ninth-rank scum to an elite among scum.

Therefore, although he was hit on the shoulder by a brick, it didn't hurt or itch at all, and it seemed that not even his skin was scratched. He even felt as if a third eye had opened between his eyebrows, and his mind automatically filled in the surrounding terrain. He could accurately scan the concentration of various true qi in the environment, as well as the humanoid images of cultivators who were casting spells and fighting each other, just like having a radar embedded in his scalp.

Uh, could this be the opening of divine sense? Wait, has he formed his core?
"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Yi's divine sense swept out like a shockwave, instantly confirming the positions of everyone present and attracting the attention of those around him! The chaotic fighting immediately realized that someone was feigning death! A barrage of magical treasures, fireballs, talismans, and lightning bolts rained down upon them!

Realizing he had made a mess of things, Huangfuyi stopped pretending on the ground and immediately set off, running wildly down the mountain.

"Zhi!"

Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared, and a golden blade slashed down swiftly, cutting off his retreat!
Huangfu Yi had no intention of fighting. He slid past the attacker, but little did he expect the golden blade to be so relentless! It suddenly twisted in mid-air, the tip of the blade aimed straight for his head! It was about to cut him into pieces!
However, Huangfu Yi had encountered a series of fortuitous events and had achieved minor mastery of his divine skills. He was no ordinary person! Seeing that he couldn't dodge the knife, he immediately swung his staff and shouted, "Block!" The staff struck the back of the knife, knocking it away!

"Ouch!"

Who would have thought that the yellow sparrow hiding in the tree would be so persistent! It took a deep breath, let out a whistle, and soared into the air!

Suddenly, a dark figure leaped out! Like a tiger descending a mountain! It pounced forward with all its might! Its two fleshy palms roared like thunder! Blazing crimson flames! They aimed straight for Huangfu Yi's forehead!

"Come!"

Although this person was dressed in black and masked, his power was immense! He was far beyond what ordinary cultivators could compare to! He was probably a Golden Core cultivator, a true hermit from a reputable sect!
But Huangfu Yi was also young and hot-blooded. Being attacked and beaten by this group without any regard for right or wrong, he suddenly felt murderous! With a roar, he did not retreat but advanced! He turned around and lunged forward, thrusting his iron rod straight at the mountain man's brow!

"call!"

However, this person was also quite skilled! With just one glance, he calculated that Huangfu Yi's movements were swift and his swordsmanship was exquisite. This blow from his staff would be three times faster than his own palm strike, and would pierce his face first!

He made a snap decision on the spot, roaring furiously! His entire body overflowed with true qi! In an instant, his clothes and cloak billowed up! He seemed to hover in mid-air like a balloon, and in the blink of an eye, he shifted his position to avoid Huangfu Yi's sword path!

This move may look funny, but it's undeniably practical! After all, the opponent suddenly changed course, so if Huangfu Yi thrusts his sword, he might not only miss a vital spot, but he might also end up putting his head right in the opponent's palm!

But it didn't work! Anyone can unleash a burst of energy!

"what!"

Huangfu Yi also let out a loud shout! A gust of wind swept through! He rose up from the ground! He used the secret technique of his family's Gangquan (罡拳) to channel energy! Blood spurted out from the vital points under his shoulder blades and ribs! His whole body suddenly rose three inches! With a flick of his iron rod, he swept it out in a sword flower, directly covering the opponent's face!
"what!"

"break!"

The two were already facing off, charging at full power! Their ability to repeatedly shift positions and pull back at the limit in a single move was already astonishing! However, the distance was limited, and there was no way to avoid it, let alone dodge! In an instant, the two collided head-on, crashing into each other with a loud "thud!"
"boom!"

At this moment, the two men, each wielding immense internal energy, clashed like two red-eyed bulls! Their battle caused the winds to whip up and the roar to thunder! The clash of their immense strength created a shockwave that sent surrounding branches and bushes flying in all directions!
But it's not over yet!

"Aaaaaah!"

The Golden Core cultivator was stabbed in the left eye with a club! Half of his face was ripped open! Blood gushed out, and he roared furiously, but he was not yet dead!
In the nick of time, he grabbed the iron rod with his left hand and forcefully intercepted and dispersed the sword energy with his palm! He held on tightly to the iron rod! At the same time, he swung his single palm with all his might, "bang bang" punching Huangfu Yi's chest! In an instant, his neck was split in four! The pieces of cloth on his body were blown off and scattered!

“Hahaha!”

Huangfu Yi, however, paid no heed! Gripping the iron rod in his right hand, he thrust it straight into the sorcerer's eye socket! Simultaneously, he swung his fist, the size of a sandbag, relentlessly slamming it into the man's forehead! Each punch was delivered with the force of a powerful fist! He rained down blows, desperately trying to shatter the opponent's protective qi! He beat until skin was torn, fat flew, capillaries ruptured! Blood and gore splattered everywhere!
Blood splattered everywhere, staining the two men crimson! The sounds of fighting and combat around them were momentarily silenced, as everyone was involuntarily drawn to the violent battle, holding their breath to witness the two men's final showdown!
"Aaaaaah!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Haaah!" "Clang clang clang!"

Amidst a deafening roar! Under the watchful eyes of everyone! The two engaged in a fierce struggle, fighting fiercely and evenly matched, exchanging more than forty or fifty punches!
But Huangfu Yi won!
They not only won, but the actual casualties were far better than the bloody and horrific scene appeared!

After all, although that sorcerer possessed high skill, abundant true qi, and powerful palm strikes, he was fearless and undaunted, and his fighting spirit and Dao heart were rare in the world! His Daoist bones were able to withstand forty punches, which was already at their limit! But in a fierce battle, after you bombarded me and I for half a day, you still couldn't break through my defenses, so what good was that?!

Good! No! Can! Break! Defense!

Because! God! Merit! Small! Success!

Just a few days ago, Huangfu Yi was a nobody who could be slapped into a wall! But now he has reached the level where he can withstand forty palm strikes from a Golden Core cultivator on his chest without feeling any pain or discomfort! He is completely unharmed!

How could that be! Nothing is impossible!

Because this 'trash technique' is actually extremely powerful! It's so trashy because it's just too damn powerful! You simply can't practice it without cheating!
But it doesn't matter! Huangfu Yi is such an overpowered person! He has only achieved minor success in his divine skill. To put it bluntly, he has only opened up the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians with the Immortal Jade Marrow. His flesh and blood have been cleansed and tempered by the innate Dao energy! Not only has his divine sense been greatly opened, but his defense has also been improved astonishingly! In fact, he only discovered after the battle that this skill is actually the natural counter to all kinds of Xuanmen internal skills!

It turns out that the more skilled and proficient the opponent is in the Xuanmen (mystical arts) sect, the more subconsciously they will attack the opponent's vital points! However, the Refining Form Chapter has already opened up all the meridians and acupoints in the body! Moreover, the Xuan Nu Heavenly Book is the general outline of all Xuanmen techniques! Once you understand one, you understand everything, and everything is perfectly integrated, making you omnipotent!

Therefore, when the opponent used palm force enhanced by Xuanmen Dao Qi to strike Huangfu Yi's chest acupoint, every burst of internal energy was directly released through the meridians throughout his body! Not only did it cause no pain or discomfort, but it also caused no damage!

Even more incredibly, if one cultivates this skill to its fullest potential, they can directly refine the true qi that someone throws at them! They can then use it to replenish their own qi and even thank the person who threw it!

In short, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's Three Transformations and Nine Changes Refining Form Chapter!
This is absolutely amazing!
A resounding "thud" delivered the finishing blow! True Qi scattered everywhere! Skull and brain shattered! Bones and flesh torn apart!

One punch to smash your temple! One blow to pry open your skull! A relentless barrage! Shattering you into pieces!

"die!!!"

He blasted his enemy to smithereens! He beat him into mincemeat! The blood-soaked youth roared to the sky! The true energy that had been blasted into his body was instantly depleted! Heat emanated from his body like clouds, and his Daoist aura surged and erupted! He seemed to be a flying dragon soaring into the sky, shooting several feet into the air!

Seeing such a powerful Golden Core cultivator beaten to death, the forest fell silent.

Too wild! Too domineering! Too powerful! This kid! He must not be allowed to live!

Damn it, you can't stay here, so go ahead and do it...

The onlookers fell into an awkward silence.

After all, the people in the mountains are just that simple and honest, but they're also known for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and kicking someone when they're down. If they see you're honest, kind, and easy to bully, they'll try to kill you. But once they see you become ruthless and beat someone to death, they immediately cower in the shadows, acting like cowards...

"Hush...huh..."

Huangfu Yi regulated his breathing and, seeing that no one dared to stop him, wiped the blood, flesh, and brain matter off his face, picked up his stick, and left the forest.

In fact, with his current physical strength and skills, he could easily take on ten more, but Huangfuyi also realized that something was wrong.

Since returning to the Central Plains, he has had one extraordinary encounter after another, and his combat power has increased rapidly. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. With such rapid progress and a surge in power, he may face even more difficult and dangerous challenges in the future.

Moreover, even the legendary Mysterious Maiden's Heavenly Book is nothing but 'trash' in front of the system, and even that Blood Demon is probably just scum and waste. Who knows what kind of existence he will have to face in the end...

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, another sharp cry rang out from the woods. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sparrow dart past, dropping a blue object from its claws. Huangfu Yi was startled and almost threw out his Flame Fist in a moment of panic.

However, the bluish thing didn't seem to be a hidden weapon or excrement. It just landed on the ground with a "humph," rolled twice, and was fluffy and round like a little ball of fur. It didn't seem dangerous at all...

"Chirp!"

Then the sparrow landed on the branch, gave a wink, indicating that it had received the goods.

Receive goods?

Huangfu Yi looked closely and realized that the bluish-green, fluffy thing was actually a bird.

With one wing and one eye, and bluish-green down, it looks like a duck...

"A pair of lovebirds?"

“鹣 (鹣)…”

Jianjian looked weak and listless, as if she had been beaten up...

Huangfu Yi glanced sideways at the sparrow standing to the side.

The sparrow acted as if nothing had happened, pecked at a date, defecated, flapped its wings, and flew away.

This guy is a piece of trash...

So Huangfu Yi took out the stone tablet and chanted the incantation according to the proprietress's instructions. The mandarin duck was powerless to resist and transformed into a beam of clear light, which was then absorbed into the tablet. After a short while, the light dissipated, and a relief carving of half a blue-green mandarin duck appeared on the stone tablet. It was exquisitely carved and lifelike... well, it was 'alive' to begin with.

Having estimated that he had obtained enough of the immortal opportunities in the jujube grove, Huangfu Yi naturally saw no need to linger any longer. So he returned to Qianyang City and went back to Linglong Pavilion to report back.

It was late at night when they rushed back to the city, but Linglongxuan was brightly lit and open for business. The guardian lion had turned into a stone statue, and no longer required payment to pass through.

Huangfu Yi entered the market, only to find it completely different from the layout of the woman's boudoir he had seen during the day. Inside, rows of display cases were filled with all sorts of rare treasures, magical artifacts, and valuables. Cultivators moved about, appraising and browsing the various treasures, occasionally making deals with the shopkeepers behind the scenes, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Huangfu Yi came in and, seeing that no one was there to greet him, had no choice but to ask the waiter who served tea and water.
Is your boss's wife here?

"..."

The waiter seemed to have intended to give him a disdainful look, but when he looked up and saw the man with his chest ripped open, covered in blood, and with bits of brains and flesh stuck in his hair, his knees buckled and he kowtowed to Huangfu Yi.

"Sir, we don't have a proprietress here."

"No?"

Huangfu Yi was baffled. He lifted the man up and took out the stone tablet with mandarin ducks from his pocket to show him.

"Of course I have it! Didn't she tell me to pick this up?"

The waiter glanced at the sign, his knees buckled, and he kowtowed to it again before turning around and shouting.

"Shopkeeper, the master is back!"
