Chapter 97: Demon Subduing Fist, Second Qualitative Change (Thanks to Tian Hai Xiang Yun for the reward)

"Master, I was wrong. I will never act alone again. Please let me go!"

Elder Huo crawled on all fours like a frightened wild beast, trembling as he came to the front of the sect leader, his tone pleading.

"I'm here for the good of the evil gate this time. I really don't have any other thoughts. I..."

The sect leader said nonchalantly, "Is it really to join the evil sect?"

Elder Huo opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself: "I..."

The Sect Master raised his hand to interrupt, saying calmly, "You practiced the Wild Dao method simply to gain merit in this matter. Once the Upper Evil Sect truly forms an alliance with the Wild Dao Sect, you will be able to reap the benefits that belong to you."

Elder Huo stood there motionless as if he had been struck by lightning.

The sect leader raised his hand and patted Elder Huo's shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, as long as you kill the traitor in the Three Fires Temple, you will still be yourself, still an elder of the Shange Sect."

"That insider knows too much, especially about several of our important pawns. He knows everything."

"The Life and Death Pearl will only explode from your body after you fail."

"You don't want to suffer at the hands of the Heavenly Supervisor, so... if you know you're about to die, use the Life and Death Pearl to perish together with your accomplice. Do you understand?"

Elder Huo's face looked ashen, like a decayed piece of wood, without a trace of spirit.

The six elders around were like spectators watching a play, and were already accustomed to all this.

After a long time, Elder Huo finally reacted and stood up using his hands and feet.

"I understand, Sect Master."

The sect leader said calmly, "You need to wait a few more days. After all, I don't want such a capable person like you to die. I will choose the most suitable time for you. Let's choose the Buddhist meeting at Xuanxin Temple."

"By then, most forces will participate, including the Three Fires Temple. Do you understand?"

Elder Huo showed a glimmer of hope for survival in his eyes and nodded vigorously.

The sect leader seemed to have lost interest and waved his hand.

Elder Huo and the other six elders were preparing to leave.

At this moment, the sect leader suddenly thought of something and asked them to stop.

"That guy named Shen Bai, I originally wanted to let him go temporarily and deal with him after I finished the important things, but he went all the way to seek death."

"After I eliminate the traitor in Sanhuo Temple, I will slowly deal with him. But before that, don't make any moves."

Everyone nodded hurriedly, indicating that they would never do anything rash.

Soon, this secret space fell into deathly silence.

……

Time passes gradually.

In the blink of an eye, many days passed.

This period of time was extremely relaxing for Shen Bai.

There are many members in the Tianjiansi, and not every task will fall on the Ding Twenty-Three Departments.

This led to the beginning of Shen Bai's lazy life.

Eat, report for duty, go to the martial arts field, go off duty, eat, go home, and continue working hard.

During the entire process, there was nothing else mixed in. Shen Bai was like a ruthless self-disciplined machine, and his proficiency was increasing rapidly at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, in addition to these, Shen Bai also supplements some basic knowledge every day.

This is also one of Shen Bai's purposes for joining the Tianjian Division.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Shuang has been freed recently.

Ever since he was assigned to the archives room, Qin Shuang had been frantically seizing every opportunity to practice, and finally reached the Five Organs Realm not long ago.

"Shen Bai, I will continue to practice!"

This is the scene of Qin Shuang leaving the martial arts field with bruises on his face after reaching the Five Organs Realm.

When Shen Bai thinks about it now, he finds it a little funny.

This girl seemed to have suddenly become arrogant and came to challenge me, and then... nothing happened. Now she has gone out on a mission in shame.

Today, Shen Bai came out of the martial arts training ground again, and it was time to go on duty.

Amber squatted on Shen Bai's shoulder, looking half asleep and half awake, meowing, rubbing against Shen Bai's face, and then put her head in Shen Bai's neck, finding a comfortable position.

"Brother Shen, you're leaving. Are you really not going to the Jiaofangsi?"

Huang Guang and Kong Fang were arm in arm, and were about to go to the Jiaofangsi to drink together.

A few days ago, these two people were also inspired by Shen Bai and became diligent.

Like Shen Bai, he spends every day in the training ground.

But in the evening, they would go to the Jiaofangsi to relax for a while.

As for what the Jiaofangsi is, it is naturally a place for others to learn to play musical instruments and sing.

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I still have to go to Mu Lao's place."

Huang Guang gave an expression that said "I understand" and left with Kong Fang.

The only change during this period was that Shen Bai often went to Mu Lao's resource room, and the two discussed swordsmanship together.

Of course, for Shen Bai, he just wanted to learn about the strange things in the world, especially the knowledge that was not in the information of the Tianjiansi.

Shen Bai walked along the road to the resource room, looking at the words made of smoke in front of him.

The words are winding and swaying like snakes, full of mysterious and wonderful feelings.

【金刚伏魔拳lv.4（拳术+8，佛光+8，力道+8，拳罡+8）：8500/10000】

"It will only take five days at most for me to reach level five and achieve the second qualitative change." Shen Bai thought to himself.

The most recent gain is the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist.

The second qualitative change is particularly important for Shen Bai, and as his proficiency increases day by day, Shen Bai is getting closer and closer to the Five Internal Organs Realm.

While thinking this, Shen Bai arrived at the resource room.

Due to the scattered value, the resource room is deserted today, like a cold palace.

Shen Bai walked in very skillfully, without any sense of restraint. After entering the house, he shouted loudly: "Mu Lao, I'm here!"

Mu Lao was dozing off at the table. When he saw Shen Bai coming, he waved lazily and pointed at the tea beside him, as if telling Shen Bai to come at his leisure.

"There's tea next to you, pour it yourself."

After saying this, Mu Lao yawned, as if he had not slept enough.

Shen Bai was really outgoing, and he had become quite familiar with Mu Lao over this period of time, so it was natural for him to pour a cup of tea and drink it down.

If other people saw Shen Bai like this, they would definitely be shocked. After all, the old man standing in front of him was the most talented swordsman in the entire Fenglin State.

Only Shen Bai could act so familiar.

"Has Mr. Mu cracked it?" Shen Bai asked.

The question was naturally about the sword energy of the Blood Sword Dance. Mu Lao had been studying it for some time, but there was no sign of anything.

Mu Lao also perked up at this time, tapping the table with his hands and saying, "Actually, I've never understood why your sword energy is blood-red like an evil blood moon on the surface, but exudes brilliant righteousness within. It's really hard to understand."

As the Sword King of Maple Forest State, Mu Lao naturally has his own unique sword skills.

During this time, when discussing swordsmanship with Shen Bai, he also shared his experience without reservation.

Although for Shen Bai, this experience is of little use to him, after all, he only relies on proficiency to improve.

But Shen Bai felt that Mu Lao was a good person to him, so he did not hide anything from him at certain times.

Of course, it was just the Blood Sword Dance.

"I don't know either. This may be my talent." Shen Bai said.

Mu Lao looked at Shen Bai's nonchalant expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Your behavior is only in my hands. If it were the top leaders of those big forces, they would definitely come forward and give you a couple of slaps."

Shen Bai shrugged: "They don't dare to smoke, I'm from the Tianjiansi."

Mu Lao shook his head helplessly, he had no idea what to do with Shen Bai's expression.

"By the way, you may go on a mission in a few days. Please hand this thing over to the abbot of Xuanxin Temple for me." As Mu Lao said this, he took out a wooden box from the drawer next to him.

There is also a small lock on the box, which looks very important.

Shen Bai was originally leisurely, but after hearing this, he asked in surprise: "What kind of mission is going to be carried out, and it is related to Xuanxin Temple? Could it be that Xuanxin Temple is also strange?"

He knew that Xuanxin Temple was the force that Wuhua belonged to. Such a famous and upright sect was also a major force in Fenglin State, so it should not be possible to have anything to do with weirdness.

Besides, this force is composed of a group of monks who are as angry as Vajra. Their focus is to exorcise demons and eliminate evil. It is impossible for evil to breed.

Mu Lao shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with weirdness. Xuanxin Temple's annual Buddhist conference will be held in Fenglin Province. This is the largest Buddhist force in Fenglin Province, so many forces will be invited to attend."

"The mission of the Heavenly Supervisor is to maintain the safety of this Buddhist conference."

"You know, when there are more people, there is a greater chance of trouble. However, Xuanxin Temple is on good terms with the Tianjian Division, so it's difficult for the Tianjian Division to forbid such an important meeting."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai showed a look of sudden enlightenment. He took the wooden box from Mu Lao's hand and looked at it carefully.

If someone else did this here, Mu Lao would have unsheathed his sword. But only Shen Bai could do it.

During this period of time, Mu Lao has become more and more appreciative of Shen Bai.

Especially after hearing the details of Shen Bai's last mission, Mu Lao felt that this kid would be a great talent in the future, and now he would not hesitate to give more training to Shen Bai.

This is also the reason why Mu Lao told all his sword skills without hesitation.

But only Shen Bai knew that these things had no effect on him.

Shen Bai is also a person with high emotional intelligence, and he didn't say these things explicitly.

"Master Mu, there seems to be a breath of air flowing in here. Could it be a strange thing?"

Shen Bai could see the strange object, but he didn't see the information now and thought it was because of the wooden box.

Unexpectedly, Mu Lao shook his head and said, "This is not a strange object. It is the relic of a certain generation of monks from Xuanxin Temple."

"Relics?" Shen Bai widened his eyes.

"Master Mu, shouldn't this thing be worshipped as a treasure by Xuanxin Temple? How did it end up in your hands?"

Mu Lao coughed, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he spoke, "In the past, when I was young, I had a close relationship with a high monk from Xuanxin Temple. We traveled the world together and agreed to fight demons and monsters for thirty years. If one of us died first, we would give the most important things to the other. The other would carry us through the fight for a sufficient period of time, and then return the favor."

"A long time ago, he died in a fight against something strange. To fulfill his promise, he asked the monks of Xuanxin Temple to send the relic to me."

"Now, the time has come to let it go back."

It was the first time that Shen Bai heard about Mu Lao's past, and he became very interested as he listened.

In fact, this is very similar to some situations in previous lives.

Those older generations may look ordinary, but they were also young once and experienced many thrilling things, but they just don’t want to tell others about them.

Seeing Shen Bai's gossipy look, Mu Lao waved his hand and said, "You ask me for these gossips every day. You don't understand my swordsmanship at all, but you pretend to be serious. You are actually very smart and considerate of other people's feelings."

"Okay, I'll talk to you more about these things later when I have time."

Shen Bai put the wooden box away and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to see through it."

He thought he had pretended very well, but he never expected that Mr. Mu could see through his thoughts.

It can be seen, but Mu Lao did not say it explicitly. It is obvious that Mu Lao did not have much objection to Shen Bai's attitude of pretending to be stupid.

"I've lived for so long, and there's nothing I don't understand." Mu Lao said, "I'm really tired today, so I won't say much to you. You should go back first. The Buddhist conference will be held soon. It's better to rest up so that you can have a plan to deal with any danger."

"Remember, you can never be careless at any time. After all, you only have one life."

Shen Bai nodded after hearing this.

He has always been very humble about the old man's teachings.

He actually knew why Mu Lao looked so listless.

In fact, Shen Bai is a person who can also put himself in other people's shoes and think about things.

For example, if he were Mu Lao, he would have a good friend in the martial arts world with whom he was very close, and they would agree to slay demons and monsters together. However, at some point, his best friend suddenly died and gave him a relic.

After spending so many years with the relic, when the time comes, he will have to send the relic back. For Shen Bai, it may be the same situation.

Shen Bai knew that everyone in this world was made of flesh and blood.

Even a sword king like Mu Lao, who once shook the entire Maple Forest State, is the same.

Of course, everyone has their own ideas.

For Mr. Mu, the most important thing is to return his friend's relics to their original place.

Shen Bai didn't bother him any further and walked out of the Tianjiansi alone.

After leaving here, Amber seemed a little tired of squatting, so she snuggled into Shen Bai's arms.

Shen Bai held the white amber in one hand and placed the other hand on the cold moon at his waist, and walked towards a stall on the street.

The cuisine in Maple Forest State is naturally incomparable to that in other places.

Shen Bai had a simple meal and returned home.

There is no one tonight, as quiet as a silent lake.

Shen Bai put the amber on the table and continued to practice the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

For Shen Bai, the most important thing is to work hard to improve his proficiency, and he doesn't want to relax for a moment.

In this way, several days passed by.

……

During this period of time, Shen Bai resumed his regular life.

And it is indeed as Mu Lao said, this mission is very important.

Not only the 32 Ding tribes, but the entire Ding tribe participated in this mission to protect the smooth progress of the Xuanxin Temple Buddhist Conference.

After getting the news, Shen Bai didn't care.

It's just that he has been feeling a little uneasy lately.

After all, there is still an evil sect in Fenglin State.

But in recent times, the power of Shang'emen seemed to have suddenly disappeared, without any disturbance at all.

The biggest surprise is the absence of wind and waves.

Of course, this is just a small episode.

For Shen Bai, there is no impact at all.

After Shen Bai received the task, he continued to immerse himself in the crazy grinding of proficiency.

One day, when Shen Bai came out of his overworked state, a dim light was already appearing outside.

Not far ahead, the smoke gradually condensed into words, floating in the air.

Looking at the words in front of him, Shen Bai showed helplessness on his face.

【金刚伏魔拳lv.4（拳术+8，佛光+8，力道+8，拳罡+8）：10000/10000】

[Ten strands of evil spirit can change qualitatively]

These past few days, there have been a few more days of daily life.

During his daily practice, Shen Bai finally mastered the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist to the peak level four.

After reaching the pinnacle of level four, the second qualitative change also comes.

This should have been a happy thing, but when Shen Bai saw the smoke in front of him, he felt unhappy.

The reason for his unhappiness was very simple, that was, the amount of evil energy in front of him was a bit too much for Shen Bai.

The first qualitative change consumes a wisp of evil energy.

The second qualitative change consumes ten strands of evil energy.

Shen Bai felt that the consumption of this thing was too great.

Ten strands of evil spirits are enough to identify ten strange creatures, and are also enough to cause the first qualitative change in ten magical powers, but now they have to be used on one magical power.

But Shen Bai didn't bother about it.

He just happened to still have ten strands of evil spirit, which could be used for a second qualitative change.

the reason is simple.

First, according to previous ideas, each upgrade will have doubled attributes.

If eight attributes are doubled, that means each attribute will be sixteen points.

This is much higher than when you were at a lower level.

Second, if there is something that can be improved, improve it quickly.

Strength needs to be constantly improved, but there is no such thing as hiding it and saving it up for use next time to improve it.

After all, no one knows what kind of enemy they will face next time.

It would be extremely foolish to save up or not use this method.

As long as there are people, evil energy will continue to flow.

Shen Bai understands this principle better than anyone else.

After all, this is reality.

"Ten strands of evil spirits are ten strands of evil spirits. Anyway, I have plenty of time to deal with these things in the Tianjian Division."

Shen Bai thought in his heart, and no longer hesitated, and consumed all the ten strands of evil spirits.

Before my eyes, the smoke suddenly disappeared, and when it condensed again, it turned into the latest text and appeared in the air.

Looking at the words in front of him, Shen Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.

"This new attribute is quite interesting."
