Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 153 152 Yanmo Qi, promoted to Huangting

Yuanjue was really panicked.

It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid of death, but after so many years in the underworld, at least when he hired someone to kill Li Cunxiao, he was prepared to be discovered.

It was not a surprise that he was deposed and killed, but when Abbot Dezheng mentioned his nephew Wei Bin, he touched his soft spot.

It can be said that Wei Bin is the last bloodline of their branch. If something happens to him, all his hard work over the years will be in vain.

However, Dezheng always leaves room for maneuver when doing things and never implicates others.

Although Wei Bin was Wei Yun's posthumous son, Yuanjue had not told him about this for so many years.

The other party didn't even know that he had an enemy who killed his father. He just thought that he was a younger generation of a branch of the Wei family, and was trained by Yuanjue because of his talent.

However, this successor who was placed with such high hopes was seriously injured by Li Cunxiao. Although he was not afraid of death, he could not get out of bed for more than ten days or half a month.

"Li Cunxiao's performance yesterday was truly astonishing. Even the abbot had to make an exception for him?"

Yuanjue knelt on the ground, his five fingers exerting force, his eyes bloodshot, but he did not dare to look up.

He was afraid that everyone would see the unwillingness and hatred in his eyes. If that happened, the Wei family would not even have their last chance!

"Everyone, what do you think we should do?"

De Zheng brought up the topic, and except for Decong who had not spoken at the beginning, everyone else felt it was a difficult situation.

To put it bluntly, although there was no evidence of the assassination, everyone present was certain that it was most likely Yuanjue who was behind it.

Some things don't require evidence, just suspicion is enough to kill people.

But that is what gangsters do. For a big force like Tiangu Temple, there must be a reason, otherwise it will not be possible to convince the people below.

If people’s hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the disciples.

So Dezheng raised the second point, that Yuanjue deliberately concealed Wei Bin's identity.

The latter was Wei Yun's posthumous son, so of course it cannot be said that his birth was a mistake.

However, Wei Yun himself had violated the precepts and deserved death, so his descendants were not allowed to join Tiangu Temple.

Moreover, De Zheng seemed to be intent on overturning the verdict of what happened back then, so Dao Yuan and Dao Qing, who had previously opposed the verdict, certainly didn't want to speak up.

That was then, and now is now.

Li Cunxiao's arrogant demeanor is undoubtedly revealed. Is he going to force the other party to become disloyal to Tiangu Temple?
"You are requested to be exiled to the countryside and are not allowed to return to this temple."

"Wei Bin has been removed from this apprenticeship. How do you all handle this?"

As soon as De Zheng spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that the abbot was reasonable and did not directly sentence the man to death.

Tiangu Temple does not need to explain its rules to the governor's office. If it really wants to clean up its ranks, no one can stop it.

"Thank you for your grace, Abbot!"

Yuanjue kowtowed hard, again and again.

The floor tiles of this Bodhi Garden were specially fired, and they did not break at all even after being knocked by the Huangting master.

Not until blood started flowing from his forehead did De Zheng wave his hand indifferently and watched Yuan Jue stagger away.

"The abbot is truly kind."

"Yes, we were inconsiderate back then and almost made a big mistake."

"Yuanjue's colleague is a ruthless person. He has shown no remorse over the years and has let down my senior brother's efforts."

Decong looked at the other three leaders who echoed his opinion and wanted to laugh, but managed to hold it back.

He knew the inside story, so unlike the other three, he didn't think the matter was over.

Senior Qie hates evil, but he is also very disciplined and will not forcibly interfere with his fellow brothers in handling temple affairs.

However, Yuanjue has now been exiled to the countryside, not even in a county town, which is basically an announcement of giving up to the outside world.

How can the wild mountains and wilderness compare to the rich resources of the provincial capital?

For a warrior to go to such a place is equivalent to cutting off his future path in martial arts.

Anyone with a little bit of insight would know that Abbot De Zheng disliked Yuanjue.

The Wei family is finished.

Yuanjue faded from the sight of Tiangu Temple. Even if he died in the wild one day, who would care?
"Although my senior brother is upright, his methods are full of tricks. Fortunately, he is my senior brother."

Decong sighed inwardly.

De Zheng glanced at his fellow apprentice, who seemed lost in thought. His thoughts were indeed similar to the other's guess.

For all the abbots, exiling Yuanjue means that the matter is over.

But for Taiyi and Qici, this means leaving it to their own devices:
Whatever the two seniors do, I will never interfere.

Yuanjue staggered back to the Arhat Hall. Along the way, all the disciples avoided him as if he were the plague.

Even when he arrived at the duty room, he was shocked and angry to find that it had been emptied.

Large and small packages were piled up at the door. Yuanhua, holding a bright candle, was shouting:

".Your uncle Yuanjue is going to the countryside to spread the Dharma. How can he do that without the things he's used to?"

"Hurry up, everyone! Your Uncle Yuanjue needs to be able to grab his package and leave at any moment. Don't cause him any trouble, understand?"

Yuanjue was furious after hearing these ambiguous words, but when that greasy face turned around, he could only force a smile:
"Brother Yuanhua, what are you doing?"

"Hey, Junior Brother Yuanjue, why are you here just now?"

Yuan Hua chuckled, without moving, but squinting his eyes and letting out a strange laugh:
"Look at you, you're going on a long trip and you don't even pack your things."

"We've been colleagues for many years, so I have to come and see you off. No need to thank me."

I thank your mother
Yuanjue almost bit his teeth off, but he could only swallow his anger.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as my cultivation is still there and Bin'er is still here, even if I end up living in the countryside, there is still hope for a comeback."

"De Zheng, ah De Zheng, it is your leniency that has saved my life."

"Even if you decide to defect to the demon cult in the future, I will repay you for all the shame I inflicted today!"

In a blink of an eye, five days have passed since the Ullambana Festival.

For five days, Li Cunxiao continued to practice martial arts as usual, but he could not enter the slaughterhouse.

Firstly, his true strength was exposed, and Yuan Huai, Gu Yang and others felt uncomfortable and were unwilling to let such a great genius do the dirty work of slaughtering.

Secondly, and the most important reason, was Decongming's advice that Li Cunxiao should not get involved in the affairs of Yaowangyuan before he broke through Huangting, which made the latter quite helpless.

In the past few nights, I have been dreaming about killing demons more fiercely in order to make up for the loss of evil spirits in the slaughterhouse.

This caused the number of demons on the second and third floors of Linglong Tower to decrease rapidly, and even began to cause expenditure to exceed income.

Simply put, refreshing is no longer possible.

Li Cunxiao was also afraid of exhausting the resources, so he had to slow down a little, allowing Taiyi Zhenren to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the latter doesn't do nothing every day and just catch demons.

He also had to delve into the study of elixir formulas and martial arts, and also plan Li Cunxiao's transformation under Qi Ci's supervision. However, apart from that, there were more good things going on.

First, Zhang Lishi’s escort agency reopened.

With Li Cunxiao, a new talent, and his status as the first apprentice of the alchemy master Decong, the escort agency's business developed very harmoniously. Many business guilds took the initiative to entrust escort orders and extended olive branches.

Because of the background behind the escort agency, colleagues chose to remain silent, allowing the latter to quickly gain a foothold in the state capital.

Secondly, Yuanjue, a deacon of the Arhat Hall, requested to be sent out to the countryside to preach the Dharma. However, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this was because Li Cunxiao's status had been elevated, and Yuanjue had to temporarily avoid the spotlight.

But it's easier to go out than to come back. As long as Li Cunxiao grows up, he will at least be a master at the level of the head monk of the various academies in the future, and it is not impossible for him to even be on par with Abbot Dezheng.

The idea of ​​having perfect internal organs at the age of twenty is really too sensational.

So it was said that he was temporarily avoiding the limelight, but in fact, it was unlikely that Yuanjue would return to the provincial capital until his death.

As for the Wei family behind Yuanjue, they were naturally pushed down by the crowd. In just a few days, they were forced to sell off their property.

Things happened so quickly that when the news reached Li Cunxiao's ears, he actually felt it was unreal for a moment.

The obstacles that were originally blocking the escort agency were removed so easily, and the whole process was uneventful.

Instead, Yuanhua came specially to find Zhang Lishi to congratulate him. His words were no longer enthusiastic, but even a bit flattering.

"To put it bluntly, it's all about strength."

“With strength, you can meet good people wherever you go.”

"But it's not that easy for Yuanjue to just walk away."

Li Cunxiao narrowed his eyes. He had asked Yuanhua to find someone to keep an eye on the other party.

No matter what, the other party has achieved Huangting perfection, and when he goes crazy, he may turn into a demon.

When he breaks through the Huangting and reaches at least the Dacheng realm, he will be confident that he can control the Fenglun and kill quickly back and forth without anyone noticing.

The top priority right now is to break through the Huangting first.

Sitting cross-legged in the training room of the escort agency, his tendons, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, blood, qi and essence were all mixed together, indistinguishable from each other.

Above the Dantian, the shirtless Nezha himself also sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Regarding the experience of breaking through the Huangting, Li Cunxiao has also read a lot of notes from his predecessors in the past few days.

After revealing his talent, the upper floors of the Sutra Library were opened to him, allowing him to obtain more information.

In fact, breaking through the Huangting is neither easy nor difficult.

Ultimately, it all comes down to "suppress the devil."

It is very simple to transfer the blood, flesh and essence to the devil, and it is not difficult to convert it into true qi. The key is to keep the mind clear during the process, and to maintain a delicate balance in the ratio of converting true qi and blood.

The demon is the embodiment of a warrior's evil thoughts, lacking intelligence but possessing instincts. When a demon transforms true energy, the former will not care whether their vital energy is depleted or their blood is surging, but will subconsciously strengthen themselves.

During this process, if the warrior cannot suppress the demon, he may become the master and his body will be controlled by the demon.

Again, the true energy is exhaled by the devil. It is both a means for warriors to interfere with the real world and a bridge for the devil to interfere with warriors.

If there is less conversion of true Qi, the efficiency of cultivation will be low; if there is more conversion, the risk of losing control will be high.

The original "Supreme Secret Narada Scripture" is actually more dangerous at this level because the Yama Qi refined from it is very special.

Yama Heaven is the third of the six heavens in the Desire Realm, which can be translated as good time or wonderful time.

This is because the heaven is bright and brilliant, with no distinction between day and night. When one lives there, one experiences inconceivable joy at all times.

Named after the Thirty-three Heavens, one can imagine how powerful Yama Qi is, but as the name suggests, this powerful Qi will bring incredible joy to warriors.

When warriors circulate their true qi, it is easy for them to become addicted to it. Unknowingly, they may easily cross the safety line and turn themselves into a dried-up human.

The Lotus Sutra says, "The gods enjoy happiness and are free from suffering, but due to laziness, they do not cultivate good dharma."

The heavenly beings who are reborn in the heavenly realm are addicted to pleasure and have lost the diligence to practice Buddhism and are unable to transcend the cycle of reincarnation.

Li Cunxiao used to rely on the vajra to suppress negative emotions, and he was not sure whether he could stay sober in happiness.

"Indulgence in pleasure is also considered a kind of evil thought, right?"

He took out the Qi-accumulating Pill and poured one out of the porcelain bottle. It was a light amber color, like the pectin candy he had eaten in his previous life.

The throat moved, the pill went down the stomach, and a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came to the heart.

In the past, when Li Cunxiao took pills, he had to wait for them to dissolve in his stomach first and transform their medicinal properties.

If you want to open up acupoints, you have to rely on the order of the five internal organs and the five elements, and finally rely on blood to transport them to the corresponding positions.

During this process, some of the medicinal power will inevitably be wasted, and some of it will be difficult to absorb and will be excreted from the body through metabolism.

However, after transforming into the current celestial body, the moment the elixir entered his stomach, all the pores in his body seemed to close, turning him into a furnace.

The medicinal power is dissolved and can be directly carried by the existing essence in the body and transported to the dantian without the need for sequential transformation.

Under Li Cunxiao's will, the original Nezha corresponds to the body in the outside world, sitting cross-legged with bare feet and his hands in the vase seal.

In an instant, the blood, flesh, internal organs, essence and the power of the qi-accumulating elixir were all swallowed up and put into the treasure bottle in Nezha's hands, like twisting and swirling smoke.

Just like a distillery, it continuously evaporates Qi and blood, and finally, a drop of red Qi in the shape of a water droplet quietly drips down.

Tick.

There seemed to be invisible ripples spreading in the Dantian. After the first strand of true qi condensed, more and more qi and blood were transformed at a faster rate, and soon a small red pool accumulated, like a piece of blood jade.

During this process, an indescribable feeling of fullness and happiness came over him, urging Li Cunxiao to transform more qi and blood into true qi.

However, this thought was far from being "strong", and he could still stop it at any time by his own will.

At this point, the most difficult step has been completed, and the next step is to open up the first meridian.

The twelve meridians, six yin and six yang. Opening one to three meridians is the entry point, from which you can use the true qi to protect the body.

From four to six meridians is a minor success, and from seven to nine meridians is a major success, and one can release the true Qi until the twelve meridians are complete.

As for the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, they are eight meridians different from the twelve regular meridians. They are not directly connected to the internal organs and have their own mysteries. For the time being, they are not an area that Li Cunxiao can get involved in.

As the first meridian after being promoted to Huangting, Li Cunxiao chose the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.

It starts from the chest and ends at the middle finger, passing through nine acupuncture points: Tianchi, Tianquan, Quze, Ximen, Jianshi, Neiguan, Daling, Laogong, and Zhongchong.

There are twelve main meridians, and each meridian has an average of no less than ten acupoints.

In other words, if you treat about a hundred acupoints, one every two weeks, it will take four to five years to complete the task.

During these five days, Li Cunxiao's vajra collection was not yet complete, but even if it was, he planned to keep it to learn the "Hellfire Spear".

To speed up the process, he needed drugs - and he had plenty of them now.

Li Cunxiao opened his eyes, pulled out the cork, opened his mouth, and swallowed a dozen amber-like pills into his stomach.

In a short while, abundant medicinal power poured into Dantian, and the true energy that was originally dripping turned into a stream in an instant and flowed into the Tianchi acupoint. A surge of pleasure that rushed straight to the top of the head made people's scalp numb.

"Qi-accumulating pill, break it for me!"
