Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 361 Refining True Essence
Kanan placed the small copper jar on the stone table.

Huang Sixi did not hesitate and immediately opened the lid of the can.

The two of them looked down at the same time and found that the jar was full of mercury.

Originally, Kankan was skeptical about whether there were relics of the evil emperor hidden in the jar, but when she saw the mercury, the doubt in her eyes immediately disappeared: "It really does contain holy relics!"

Huang Sixi asked curiously, "Mercury is not transparent. I can't see through it to see what's inside. How did you see the relic in the jar?"

Xianxian gathered her hair back and looked at Huang Sixi with her pretty face, showing her tenderness and gentleness: "Xian'er was just guessing!"

She stretched out her jade finger and lightly touched the mercury at the mouth of the jar: "In the whole world, only mercury can cover up the holy light and spiritual energy of the holy relic. If the holy relic is not immersed in mercury liquid, the spiritual energy will definitely leak out!
Really, sir, even if the holy relics are buried several dozen feet underground, the spiritual energy will penetrate the ground and be sensed by the masters who have cultivated the innate true energy!"

Huang Sixi had already taken out a porcelain bottle of the same volume as the copper jar. He was originally planning to pour out all the mercury in the copper jar so that the evil emperor's relics could be completely revealed.

After listening to what Kankan said, Huang Sixi stopped temporarily.

He asked Qianqian: "At what distance can an innate master sense the spiritual energy of the evil emperor's relic?"

Without hesitation, Qianqian said: "This is the same as inducing the Heshi Bi. One must be close to its influence range to produce mental fluctuations!
Thirty years ago, the Evil Emperor entrusted the holy relic to Lu Miaozi for safekeeping. My master once asked him for the holy relic, but he refused to give it to me and fled with it. Once he was more than a hundred feet away, it would be very difficult for my master to capture the aura of the holy relic!"

Huang Sixi said: "So, the range of the Evil Emperor's Relics and the He's Jade to interfere with the minds of martial artists is limited to a hundred-foot area!"

Xianxian nodded and smiled, her breath sweet as orchid: "This is the case under normal circumstances!"

She obviously hadn't finished speaking.

Huang Sixi asked, "What is the abnormal situation?"

Xianxian revealed in detail: "Just now, Xian'er mentioned the Xieji Sect and the Xie Emperor to you. Xiang Yutian was the last Xie Emperor of the Xieji Sect. He accepted four disciples, You Niaojuan, Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen! But the relationship between the four disciples is as hostile as fire and water. They regard each other as enemies, and they have not yet decided on the new Xie Emperor!"

Huang Sixi recalled the situation of these four people and commented: "Xiang Yutian is a genius, but he did not teach his disciples attentively. Among the eight masters of the Demon Sect, only the 'rebellious' You Niaojuan made it into the list, and he is ranked eighth. The martial arts of the other three disciples are even lower. None of them have the strength to inherit the title of the Evil Emperor!"

“But they have a heritage!”

Kanan blinked her beautiful eyes at Huang Sixi, her eyes blooming with emotions as bright as flowers, and every word she spoke revealed the joy that surged in her heart from being alone with Huang Sixi.

She liked to talk about everything with Huang Sixi: "My dear, you don't know that they inherited a secret method from the evil emperor Xiang Yutian, which can sense the spiritual energy emitted by the holy relics from dozens of miles away. It is the only one in the world!"

Kanan's voice is as pleasant as a mountain spring, lingering and graceful, flowing slowly through Huang Sixi's heart.

No matter who Huang Sixi talked to, his mind would always remain focused.

However, when Kankan was around, Huang Sixi always couldn't help but become distracted and shifted his attention to Kankan.

He collected his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Since Xiang Yutian passed on the secret method to four disciples, why didn't he pass on the evil emperor's relic to the four of them as well?"

Wan Wan shrugged her shoulders slightly: "Wan Er doesn't know the reason either! The people of the Demon Sect never follow the rules!"

Wan Wan sighed softly and revealed another past event: "Before Xiang Yutian passed away, he passed on the secret method of sensing the holy relic to his four disciples, and gave the holy relic itself to an outsider, Lu Miaozi. Finally, he revealed the method of extracting essence from the holy relic to my master. No one knows what he is up to!"

Huang Sixi was not interested in Xiang Yutian's arrangement. He only asked Qianqian for confirmation: "Is Xiang Yutian really dead?"

Kankan was stunned for a moment, and said unsurely: "He must be dead, otherwise he wouldn't have passed on such a sacred object as the Saint Relic to others!

However, he is the most mysterious master of the Holy Sect and has lived for at least over a hundred years. My great uncle and other uncles used to call him senior, and some people even speculated that he has lived for more than two hundred years!
Anyway, from the time he was reported dead until now, no one has seen his body, let alone where he is buried!"

Kanan could not confirm whether Xiang Yutian was alive or dead.

In fact, all the people from the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect did not dare to be sure that Ding Yutian had died completely.

Huang Sixi personally speculated that Xiang Yutian might have cultivated the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Method" to its limit thirty years ago, and then broke through the void and ascended to an unknown realm.

Of course, Xiang Yutian’s success in breaking the evil spirit was due not only to his study of the “Great Method of Cultivating Demons in the Heart of Taoism”, but also to the refining of the evil emperor’s relics.

Ever since the first evil emperor Xie Bo injected the true essence and vital energy condensed from his own internal strength into the relic before his death, his successors have racked their brains and tried their best, but have not been able to find a way to absorb the inner essence of the relic.

It's like having a mountain of gold but not being able to get any benefit from it.

However, as long as the evil emperors of all generations did not die an unnatural death, they would follow the teachings of the Xieji Sect and inject their essence into the relics before their death.

As the essence accumulates more and more, all kinds of evil dead air and evil spirits are absorbed by the relics. This makes it increasingly difficult to extract the essence of the relics, and it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will go astray.

It can also be said that there was a gap of six or seven hundred years between the first Evil Emperor Xie Bo and the previous Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian. The Evil Emperors of all generations could only inject essence into the relic but were unable to extract it.

Xiang Yutian is the only genius who has figured out the method of extracting the essence of relics.

But for some unknown reason, Xiang Yutian did not teach the extraction method to his four disciples, but instead revealed it to the Yinkui Sect's leader Zhu Yuyan.

This also caused Zhu Yuyan to become extremely greedy. In order to snatch the evil emperor's relics, she chased Lu Miaozi for thousands of miles until she forced Lu Miaozi into Pegasus Ranch, where she hid for thirty years and did not dare to show up in the world.

Huang Sixi listened to Kankan's detailed account of the Evil Emperor's relics.

He picked up the small copper jar containing the relic and said, "Back then, Lu Miaozi hid the relic of the evil emperor in Yang Gong's treasury to prevent it from being stolen! The treasury is located dozens of feet underground, and the traps are so tightly arranged that even if the spiritual energy leaks to the ground, the aura is extremely shallow and not easily detected!"

As he spoke, he began to pour out the mercury in the copper pot, saying, "Even if there are masters on the ground who can capture the spiritual energy of the relic, they will be flying around like headless flies. They will never discover the mystery of the Yuema Bridge, let alone find Yang Gong's treasure house. We can concentrate on refining the evil emperor's relic here!"

As the mercury was poured out, a yellow light began to spread inside the copper pot.

When Huang Sixi emptied all the mercury, there was a "pop!" sound, and a fist-sized yellow crystal ball fell out of the copper pot.

This crystal ball seems hard and soft, emitting a faint yellow light. The interior is translucent, and a blood-red vein like clouds and rosy clouds can be vaguely seen. Every time the crystal ball turns over, the vein will flow slowly.

Huang Sixi keenly sensed the faint spiritual energy spreading out from the crystal ball, which silently invaded his mind. If he did not use mental defense, as long as he looked directly at the crystal ball for a moment, the blood-red lines inside the ball would change into all kinds of hideous shapes, which would make people feel terrified.

The natural aura of the crystal ball alone has such a strong power of mental interference. If one touches the crystal ball and tries to absorb the essence inside the ball, then it is conceivable that one's mind will be filled with hallucinations, as if thousands of wronged souls are coming together to claim one's life, as if one is possessed by a demon. Huang Sixi was not in a hurry to refine the evil emperor's relic. He turned around and asked Qian Qian, "Did your master teach you the method of absorbing essence?"

Kankan nodded at him: "Indeed, it has been passed on! But the method must be practiced with the Yinkui School's martial arts, and the absorption method of the 'Heavenly Demonic Art' must be used to attract the essence and absorb it into the body!"

Huang Sixi stretched out his hand and pressed it on Kankan's shoulder: "Try to absorb the essence first, I will be there to protect you!"

His "Six Dragons Revolving" can also absorb it, but in addition to the essence, the evil emperor's relics are also filled with countless impure air. If the absorption method is not appropriate, it will be backfired by the impure air in an instant.

He needs to first study the absorption method taught by Xiang Yutian, and then combine it with the "Six Dragons Spin" to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

With his hands on Kankan's shoulders, he could fully sense the changes in Kankan's Qi flow. Without Kankan's teachings, he could memorize Kankan's method of absorbing Qi.

But Kankan only had the method, and this was the first time she came into contact with the evil emperor's relics.

Moreover, when Xiang Yutian passed on his skills to Zhu Yuyan, he might have been reserved. After all, the two belonged to different sects, and Xiang Yutian had no reason to teach Zhu Yuyan the core secrets.

Kanan could not guarantee that she would be able to achieve success.

It should be noted that the impure air in the evil emperor's relics is completely open to the outside. No matter who refines the relics, the impure air will fill the body. However, the impure air is composed of dead air and evil air injected by the evil emperors of all generations, which is harmful to the human body.

Once Kankan activates the method, she must carefully break through the blockade of miscellaneous air, infiltrate her own demonic true energy into the relic, and sense the sealed essence inside, so that she can absorb it.

In order to verify the correct method of absorption for Huang Sixi, she turned around and gave Huang Sixi a gentle smile, then breathed a sigh of relief, and without hesitation pointed her finger and touched the evil emperor's relic.

She secretly used the method taught by Zhu Yuyan, and her Heavenly Demonic Qi successfully broke through layers of impurities and reached the essence at the center of the relic.

Who knew that the Yuan Jing was so thick and violent, and when it suddenly came into contact with her true Qi, it instantly became a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, surging back into her body like a flood.

This essence accounted for one third of the entire evil emperor's relic and suddenly poured into Kankan's body, shocking her meridians and acupoints to the point of excruciating pain.

She only felt the blood and energy in her body churning and she couldn't control it.

"My dear, my body can't bear it anymore..."

Her mind went out of control as a result. The Heavenly Demon Qi could no longer block the death and evil energy within the Evil Emperor's relics and began to flow back. Her spirit was instantly polluted by the foreign energy.

Her beautiful eyes, which were originally full of tenderness, couldn't help but reveal fear and shock, and she almost screamed.

Huang Sixi noticed her abnormality and immediately shook her fingers away from the evil emperor's relic.

Then he quickly used the Rama Qi to instantly heal the slight discomfort in her body.

As Rama's true energy circulated in her body for several circles, the backflowing impurities were also dispelled.

Rama's true qi has a nemesis-like suppressing power on the death and evil energy within the evil emperor's relics.

However, the essence absorbed by Kankan was wildly spreading among her meridians, still launching violent attacks.

In theory, Yuan Jing is the purest internal energy and has no harm to the body. However, the amount of Yuan Jing absorbed by Kankan was too much and it was highly solidified, so it could not be transformed for the time being and could not be integrated into her own true energy.

If Xianxian did not suppress her Yuan Jing immediately, she would surely end up with broken meridians and die.

Huang Sixi injected her with Rama Qi, which could only repair her physical injuries but could not help her refine her essence.

After losing several times, Huang Sixi discovered that Rama's Qi had no effect on Yuan Jing.

He couldn't help but think of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. When these two men were fighting for the Evil Emperor's relic, they worked together to absorb 70% of the essence in the relic, and they did it in one breath, without any harm to their bodies.

Kankan only absorbed 30% of the essence, which was actually about the same amount as Kou Xu. Why did Kankan's meridians almost burst?

This is because Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had used the He Shi Bi to change the acupoints and meridians a long time ago, which strengthened the meridians' load-bearing capacity and increased the capacity of their true Qi by several times.

Since Kanan's body had not been transformed by the He Shi Bi, she naturally could not absorb the essence as easily as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Huang Sixi recalled that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling relied on the immortal true qi to refine their essence.

He immediately stopped the circulation of Rama's true qi, and began to use the "Eternal Life Secret" to fuse the essence of Kankan.

Unexpectedly, when he pushed his palm on Kankan's back, the immortal qi flowed into Kankan's body and although it dissolved the primordial essence, the pure energy released by the primordial essence actually flowed along Kankan's back, through Huang Sixi's palm, and back into Huang Sixi's meridians, becoming a part of Huang Sixi's internal strength.

This went on for a while.

Kankan's body suddenly went limp. She turned around and put her arms around Huang Sixi, face to face.

At this moment, Qianqian's face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "My dear, you have actually practiced the Saint Sect's 'Cai Nu Dafa'?"

Huang Sixi was slightly stunned: "The Cha Nu Da Fa is a female martial art, how could I have practiced it?"

A trace of confusion appeared in Qianqian's beautiful eyes: "Then why does your true qi have the power of collecting and replenishing?"

She had just been nourished by the longevity true qi, and her essence was no longer in any danger. It melted bit by bit and turned into true energy and merged into her internal strength, but at the same time she also realized that her true energy was being transferred to Huang Sixi imperceptibly.

This transfer process was not a simple absorption of internal force. Huang Sixi's true energy flowed in her body, and she always felt uncontrollably excited, which inevitably reminded her of some of the Yinkui sect's methods of internal energy collection.

However, Huang Sixi's longevity true qi is not just about replenishing, it is more like a way of harmonizing yin and yang, and it has the miraculous power to cleanse the meridians. It can not only help to increase cultivation, but also has huge benefits for both men and women.

The problem that Kankan's essence had caused to damage her meridians was easily resolved by the Qi of Longevity.

So even though Huang Sixi slowly drained away Kankan's internal energy, Kankan did not feel the slightest bit reluctant. Instead, she was addicted to the comfortable feeling of the flowing true energy.
