Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 327 Cultivating Demonic Arts to Uphold the Righteous Path

Bai Suzhen's transformation from demon to human was very successful. When she overcame her inner demon tribulation and emerged from Xiaoqing's 'protection,' the alluring aura that had always lingered around her completely dissipated, and her eyes and brows showed more gentleness and grace. She truly looked like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"My wife! Are you alright?"

"Little White! Are you alright?"

Xu Xian and Xu Xuan went to greet her at the same time, each holding one of Bai Suzhen's hands, their eyes fixed on the beautiful woman in white, as if afraid that she would fly away.

"Official!"

"Ah Xuan!"

"I'm fine!"

"It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright!" Xu Xian nodded happily.

"Yes, I'm fine, and the baby in my belly is doing well too."

"That's good, that's good!" Xu Xuan stamped his foot, expressing his joy.

The family of three smiled at each other, radiating indescribable comfort and happiness.

It must be said that the old White Snake was quite capable. In such a short time, she managed to sort out the 'harem,' allowing the two Xus to live in peace while seemingly accepting this special relationship and situation.

It must be said that not only are the people of Sichuan and Chongqing ahead of their time in terms of spirit, but the snakes of Sichuan and Chongqing are also remarkable.

"Master! Don't you think you've committed a terrible sin?" Xiaoqing transformed back into human form, moved closer to Qiu Chuji, and asked in a somewhat disrespectful manner.

Qiu Chuji replied with a serious expression: "Really? No, we're all fellow Daoists!"

"Fine! You've got the bigger fist, so whatever you say goes!" Xiaoqing said nonchalantly. None of the main parties involved had said anything, so why should she care?
The group returned to the Taoist temple, whose gates were wide open. Xu Xuan exclaimed in alarm and rushed inside, then ran out anxiously, shouting, "Fahai has escaped!"

Xu Xian also showed a flustered expression, while Bai Suzhen was much calmer in comparison, and comforted him, saying, "My husband! Ah Xuan! I am now a human, not a demon. If that monk is still reasonable, he will not come to cause us any more trouble. We can live together in peace."

Qiu Chuji said, "That's true, but just in case, you should stay at my Taoist temple and make further plans after Xiaobai gives birth."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "I just don't know how that monk got away!"

"After all, I placed quite a few seals on him, and his power was locked away, so he shouldn't have been able to escape."

Xiaoqing averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact with anyone.

Bai Suzhen was the first to understand and began to help smooth things over: "After all, he is a high-ranking Buddhist monk, so it is not surprising that he has some hidden tricks up his sleeve."

Qiu Chuji simply said, "Xiaoqing! You will be in seclusion in the Taoist temple for a year and are not allowed to leave."

“If you dare to sneak out, I will expel you and your sister from the sect and never care about your lives again.”

After saying this, he ignored everyone's expressions and went back to his quiet room to summarize and deduce what he had learned and thought about observing the dragon and snake's transformation.

As for Fahai's escape, it was within his expectations, and he even secretly provided some assistance.

Otherwise, even with Xiaoqing's help, how easy would it be for Fahai to escape from his Taoist temple?

In the quiet room, Qiu Chuji sat cross-legged, but did not circulate his true qi. Instead, he first recited the "Taishang Ganying Pian" three times to completely calm his mind. Then he carefully deduced it again before starting to select the demonic arts he knew.

In Qiu Chuji's plan, this time, retracing his steps, he would focus on cultivating demonic arts to directly experience their variations and ultimately identify the most suitable and powerful method. As for why demonic arts?

Of course, this is because demonic arts are mostly for the sake of speed, with many parts that forcibly squeeze the body's potential, unlike orthodox martial arts, which mostly seek stability and completeness. More advanced orthodox martial arts even involve directly taking from the external world, which is not what Qiu Chuji needs now.

While pondering, Qiu Chuji began with the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth. As his internal energy circulated and stimulated his body, he continuously fine-tuned the energy flow path, adding more aggressive elements to it.

As for whether the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth can be considered a demonic skill?
It does count!

After all, even a righteous martial arts manual like the 'Nine Yin Manual', if practiced incorrectly, only drove Ouyang Feng mad but didn't kill him. The Black Wind Duo distorted the second part of the Nine Yin Manual to an absurd degree, and they only managed to make themselves neither human nor ghost.

Yang Dingtian practiced the Great Shift of the Universe, but died from a fit of rage. This shows that the Great Shift of the Universe is a relatively aggressive type of metal-based martial art. Once you make a mistake, there is no turning back.

However, such aggressive martial arts techniques were not powerful enough for Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji also incorporated some of the essence of the "Nine Deaths Silkworm Divine Skill". This kind of skill, which seeks life in death and transforms through death, is definitely not evil.

However, whether it's stimulating potential or using the cycle of life and death to stimulate the body, it's far from reaching the limits of this physical body.

A continuous stream of mysterious active energy is extracted from the physical body, seemingly inexhaustible, and naturally merges into the true qi, only purifying and enhancing the true qi, but not enough to bring about a qualitative change.

"Then add more!"

Qiu Chuji boldly added the renowned "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" to the mix.

This demonic art directly damages the meridians and acupoints to forcibly activate most of the hidden potential and foundation within the body, thereby achieving at least a doubling of power.

It's a desperate measure, leaving no room for maneuver.

Even within the demonic path, it belongs to the most wicked kind.

As the meridians and acupoints burst open, Qiu Chuji's body indeed experienced a surge of more active energy in an instant. The potential naturally carried within this lotus root-like body flowed out like water from a tap that had been turned on.

With the replenishment of these active energies, the nature of the True Qi finally seemed to show signs of change.

If true qi is the ultimate expression of true qi and internal force compressed and solidified, then Qiu Chuji's true qi at this moment began to disperse and atomize.

The form changes, but the quality remains unaffected.

Even if you compress it further, there will be no qualitative change.

Gradually, the lotus root begins to heal itself, and the broken meridians and acupoints heal on their own.

Qiu Chuji further stimulated the meridians and acupoints with the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique, making them even more resilient. Although the power that burst forth in an instant increased, the areas that needed to break apart remained undamaged.

From then on, the so-called "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" was only fit to be considered an insignificant power-up technique.

Asura Yin Sha Gong, Avici Dao Three Blades, Ultimate Demonic Art, Heart Demon Great Art, Heavenly Demon Divine Art...

It can be said that Qiu Chuji explored and experimented with all the demonic arts he possessed, or even those he only knew a little about.

However, no matter how infamous these demonic arts were in the past, they could not withstand more than one "round" from Qiu Chuji. Most of the time, the damage to the body had not yet fully formed before the body's magic completely healed it and absorbed the impact of the demonic arts, forcibly binding the demonic arts into the "orthodox cultivation method" used for normal practice.

The body's potential remains unfathomable. Although each exploration yields some results, it is still far from the immediate effectiveness that Qiu Chuji desired.
