Chapter 178 Obtaining the Method [Last few hours before the end of the month, please vote with double monthly tickets!]

This side.

Changsun Bing frequently came to see Qi Sheng, exclaiming in surprise, "Young man, you have excellent eyesight!"

She stared wide-eyed, but couldn't make out what kind of ascetic meditation the monk was practicing, let alone the demonic fire, the Snow Soul Pearl, or the burgeoning spiritual energy in the Xuanbing Cave.

But Qi Sheng was able to see it.

What's the point?
Little did anyone know that Qi Sheng had not only perfected the "Insightful Eye," a spell that could neither attack nor defend, but had also fully comprehended the first seven levels of the "Purple Cloud Array Diagram" and the "Great Evolution Array Diagram."

He possesses perfect wisdom and can see auras.

Once you understand one formation, you can understand all formations.

I just spent a long time observing him, and it was through observing his aura and formations that I was able to discern the true nature of the foreign monk. It was precisely by relying on these methods that I was able to enter and exit Qizhou Mountain seven times, severely injuring the Poison Dragon Hermit, and also to sneak into Rongye Mountain and Xinru Sect without a sound, harming the master and stealing the treasure.

No one else really has his ability.

However, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. In terms of connections and knowledge, Qi Sheng is far inferior to the others.

Upon hearing Mingxuzi reveal the identity of the Tibetan monk, he asked curiously, "Who is the 'Fire-Walking Monk'?"

Now, not only him, but also Lai Wen and Changsun Bing were confused, not recognizing this person.

But it's also normal.

Understanding Xu Zi's meaning, this person disappeared without a trace a hundred years ago after committing evil deeds, hiding for even longer than Granny Xian, so it's perfectly normal that no one has heard of him.

Granny Xian said, "In his early years, this Fire Monk tortured living people, making them experience all the bitterness of life, so that they could cultivate the most vicious 'Poisonous Torture Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Little Asura Method' in his evil cult. This method viciously refines a cluster of primordial demonic fire, which, once used, attacks the enemy through the seven orifices and circulates throughout the body along the acupoints and meridians."

"The fire does not burn the body, but it is subtle and vicious, specifically melting away the bone marrow and causing heartache and lung pain."

"Those who experience it at first feel languid, as if they are drowsy in spring. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, they feel somewhat relaxed."

"When the evil fire travels through the acupoints of the body for a small cycle, one feels an intense itch that pierces to the bone and heart, with nowhere to scratch, which is more painful than being cut dozens or hundreds of times."

"Then my whole body ached as if it would break, and I would feel itchy and sore at the same time, or both at the same time."

"The primordial essence and true marrow of one's body are gradually consumed and depleted by the evil fire. No matter if you have the body of a god, as long as this demonic fire enters your body, it will destroy your path and your body."

Qi Sheng, Changsun Bing, and the others were all shocked: "Such evil magic actually exists in the world!"

Lai Wen frowned: "This demonic fire cannot be controlled?"

Granny Xian said, "I have never heard of a method of restraint. I only know that when the Fire Monk uses this method, the demonic fire will cause great pain to the victim. The Fire Monk who uses this evil magic to harm people will also inevitably consume his own vital essence."

"This evil monk was unaware of its power at first and used it too aggressively. He captured countless masters and used magic to interrogate them about their skills, thus gaining a lot of true knowledge. It was only when his vital essence was greatly damaged that he realized how powerful it was. From then on, he cherished this vicious evil magic very much and never used it lightly unless he had a deep-seated hatred."

Contemporaries speculated that there were two possibilities for the Fire Monk's disappearance—

One is to seek a place to recuperate after suffering a great loss of vital essence.

Secondly, because he used demonic magic to obtain too many secret techniques, each of which were the signature skills of powerful masters, he attracted the covetousness of other evil sect masters and had to hide them.

I don't know the specifics.

Unexpectedly, this Fire Monk actually hid in this Dragon Prison Abyss; he really knows how to hide.

Changsun Bing was no longer alarmed upon hearing this, and explained to Qi Sheng: "Forbidden zones like the Dragon Prison Abyss are dangerous places for many people, but also treasure places for many others. For a wicked and infamous demon like the Fire Monk, who has enemies everywhere, it is an excellent hiding place."

She warned Qi Sheng, "You may encounter more than just one Fire Monk in the future. There could be many more powerful demons, including unparalleled masters from the five sects of the Barbarian Frontier. They may be hiding somewhere in this Dragon Prison Abyss, cultivating and exploring, or trapped in some dangerous place. You must be very careful."

Qi Sheng readily accepted the instruction.

……

While Qi Sheng and Changsun Bing were talking, everyone was trying to find out more about the Tibetan monks.

The fire-wielding monk, however, felt a pang of regret.

A hundred years ago, he was hunted down by all sides and had no choice but to live in hiding. Decades later, seeing that his lifespan was running out and he was about to die, he risked entering the forbidden area of ​​the Dragon Prison Abyss, hoping to obtain treasures to advance further or find the elixir of immortality to live a second life.

Unexpectedly.

They didn't find the 'elixir of immortality', but they did find the 'Snow Soul Pearl' formed from the essence of ten thousand years of ice and snow, and were overjoyed.

It turns out that this Fire Monk was originally a wild monk from the Western Regions who had obtained a secret method of bitter meditation in his early years. If he practiced with the 'Snow Soul Pearl', he could greatly improve his cultivation and increase his lifespan.

However, this method is dangerous, requiring one to sit in meditation for thirteen years without moving.

The Fire-Walking Monk resolutely began his cultivation in order to achieve a breakthrough.

They lived peacefully in this valley for twelve years, and now it is the thirteenth year. During this time, although people came, if they encountered a powerful one, they would frighten him and drive him away, and if they encountered an ordinary one, they would feed him their demonic fire for amusement.

Thus, all was well.

Although he encountered another passerby today, the Fire Monk intended to use the same trick again. However, he did not expect that someone would be able to see through his disguise as a Western Region monk who had not appeared for a hundred years. Originally, he only wanted to scare the person away because he saw how powerful the person was, but now he was in a dilemma.

Seeing that Mingxuzi was also an expert in playing with fire, he unleashed a red light, which turned out to be a blazing flying sword, and was about to take the head of the foreign monk.

The patriarch did not intend to achieve victory in one strike; he only wanted to test the waters.

Although the Fire Monk cannot move, he is still able to wield his magical power despite being only a physical body.

He let out a strange laugh and shouted, "Ignorant old man, how dare you show off here!"

He immediately summoned the staff beside him, which transformed into a dragon-like creature to meet the red light head-on. This staff was a treasure he had carefully refined, made from a mixture of many precious materials. In terms of power, it was in no way inferior to a flying sword, but it was superior in that it was both powerful and agile, and it was not at a disadvantage in the fight against the flying sword.

"Good Tibetan monk!"

"Let this old woman have a go at you too!"

Seeing that Master Mingxu alone could not test the depth of the Fire Monk's abilities, Granny Xian shouted and slammed her cane into the ground. Immediately, a five-colored ray of light flew out and merged with the red light, fighting together against the Dragon Zen Staff.

This fierce battle was evenly matched.

Lai Wen knew that this monk was someone everyone could kill, and there was no moral obligation to talk to him. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he immediately closed his nine orifices and waited for his qi to gradually circulate throughout his body. When his qi was extremely sensitive, he heard a faint rumbling sound in his ears. Unable to stop himself, he exhaled loudly and turned his palm over, and a thunderclap immediately rang out.

This is called 'overturning the handle'.

This is indeed the 'Palm Thunder'!
"Heaven uses struggle to manipulate creation, and man uses his heart to plan all things."

"Therefore, overturning the handle of the Big Dipper is to seize the secret of creation and return to the meaning of the infinite."

Qi Sheng's eyes lit up. He knew that his "Thunder Gate Rain Door Technique" was merely a minor skill and could hardly be considered high art, while Lai Wen's "Overturning the Dipper Handle - Palm Thunder" was a grand and authentic thunder technique.

Upon hearing this, even the Tibetan monks panicked.

He quickly chanted a spell and hurled the demonic fire out, instantly forming countless fire circles. The lightning in his palm struck the demonic fire, and the two dissipated, yet neither could harm the Tibetan monk.

Instead, the demonic fire surged and burned people.

Changsun Bing hurriedly said, "Be careful!" At this moment, it was Qi Sheng's turn to make his appearance.

"Even a little demonic monk can shine!"

Qi Sheng pulled out a whisk from the seven or eight leopard skin pouches at his waist, and with all his might, he swung it once. The demonic fire immediately subsided and disappeared without a trace.

Qi Sheng was overjoyed. With another wave of his hand, a gentle breeze stirred, and the boundless demonic fire retreated backward.

Then, with a third strike, he gathered all his magical power, stood in the valley, and looked ahead. With a fierce swing, the sky was filled with clouds and a light drizzle fell. This strike finally extinguished the demonic fire, which whimpered and returned to the monk's body.

"it is good!"

"Well done, sir!"

Changsun Bing was originally afraid of the demonic fire, but she was overjoyed to find that Qi Shengyi had destroyed it so easily.

Qi Sheng just smiled.

There's an old saying: "One thing can subdue another."

The demonic fire of this evil monk is still fire in the end. The whisk he took from 'Divine Fist' Xun Xie just happens to be the nemesis of fire, and it worked immediately as soon as he used it.

Joy on one side, sorrow on the other.

The Fire Monk was furious when he saw the demonic fire reverse. He had originally intended to investigate these people further and hadn't taken the unfamiliar young man seriously, but he ended up suffering a loss.

When it is.

The Fire-Walking Monk swiftly activated another treasure beside him, chanting incantations as he raised the purple-gold alms bowl. This bowl, named the 'Rotating Bowl,' once raised, caused black and white yin and yang energies to rise straight into the sky, attracting all beings, whether human, bird, or treasure, preventing them from rotating.

The attack was immediately effective. The red light and radiant light that were originally entangled with the demon monk's staff were immediately absorbed by the black and white energy. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the staff fell down on Master Mingxu's head, intending to kill one of them first.

But then Changsun Bingjiao shouted, "That evil monk dares to act so violently!"

A cold light was about to be unleashed to block the staff.

Qi Sheng was not slow either. He opened his mouth and spat out the 'golden pearl', then gently tapped it against the 'revolving bowl' in the sky. The golden pearl and the purple-gold bowl fell to the ground at the same time, and Qi Sheng snatched it in his hand with great joy: "What a treasure!"

It's his!

He retrieved the golden pearl and put the revolving bowl into his leopard-skin pouch. This was the second treasure he had acquired upon entering the Dragon Prison Abyss.

The Tibetan monk was both shocked and furious upon seeing this: "You brat, give me back my magic treasure!"

He immediately opened his mouth, revealing a honeyed sword within, and shot out a sword pellet straight for Qi Sheng's head.

However, before they could even meet Qi Sheng, they were stopped by Lai Wen.

But then he saw golden light shining from his eyes, and his breath coming from the southeast. A gust of wind rose from the ground, which blocked the sword pellet and made it fly into a mess.

Immediately afterward, another burst of cold light shot out. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Changsun Bing's sword light that had severed the Tibetan monk's staff and was now used to deal with the sword pellet. With a flash of cold light, the sword pellet also split in two and fell to the ground, its light dim and lifeless.

What a goddess!
What a divine sword!
Qi Sheng was inwardly impressed. This was the power of the 'Ice Soul Goddess' and the 'Ice Soul Divine Light Sword,' no less than the Han family's Eight Swords of Sorrowful Clouds.

The Tibetan monk, already enraged by the loss of his three treasures, cursed loudly and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then recklessly activated the elaborate array of over a hundred layers in the valley, determined to ensure that Qi Sheng and the others would perish here, even if it meant his twelve years of arduous meditation would be in vain.

however.

Formation?

Qi Sheng is least afraid of formations.

He opened his eyes and saw that although the array was numerous and quite intimidating, it might be more effective than the first and second layers of Chang Weishan's array for those who did not understand arrays. However, for an array master like Qi Sheng, it was full of loopholes.

He immediately used the 'Yin Yang Step' to move through the gaps in the formation as if strolling in a garden, easily ignoring the formation's obstacles, and went straight to the Tibetan monk. He grinned, and to the monk's horror and anger, the purple-gold double whips came crashing down on his head, causing the monk's brains to splatter and killing him instantly.

"It's successful!"

Qi Shengyun used a spell to take away all of the Fire Monk's belongings, and then broke the central structure of the array beneath him, instantly stopping the hundred-layered array.

But then I saw this.

The 'Ice Soul Divine Light Sword' in Changsun Bing's hand rang out continuously and flew away on its own. A cold light swept back another white light, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than the 'Snow Soul Pearl'.

The Ice Soul Goddess exclaimed with delight, "My divine sword is only one step away from completing the fifty-fifth layer of Earthly Fiend Restriction and upgrading to a high-level Earthly Fiend Magic Weapon. This 'Snow Soul Pearl' is the key to my destiny."

Changsun Bing looked at Qi Sheng and the others and said, "I shamelessly ask you all for the ownership of this Snow Soul Pearl. I am willing to give up all the benefits I may gain in the future."

Ming Xuzi, Granny Xian, and Qi Sheng exchanged glances, naturally having no objections.

Not to mention that the Snow Soul Pearl is exactly what Changsun Bing needs, while it's of little use to them, the fact that Changsun Bing's flying sword and strength have both improved significantly after refining it will greatly help everyone continue exploring the Dragon Prison Abyss.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Changsun Bing was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. She couldn't wait to refine the flying sword, but Qi Sheng stopped her and said to everyone, "Just now I obtained a page of black iron Taoist book from the demon monk. It seems to contain the 'Poison Torture Bone-Locking Heart-Piercing Lesser Asura Method'. You can all take a look."

Lai Wen frowned: "Such evil and vicious methods should be destroyed."

Qi Sheng disagreed: "The law has no inherent good or evil; it is good when it is used correctly."

Lai Wendao said, "The Fire-Walking Monk harmed tens of thousands of people to cultivate this technique. How can this be considered righteous?"

Qi Sheng handed the book to Lai Wen: "Fourth Brother, take a look. This method can be mastered without harming people. It is only because the foreign monks are foolish and opportunistic that they resort to this poisonous and inferior method. If you can understand the true meaning of this method, you will not need to do it."

Lai Wen glanced at it and realized it was true.

However, he still had no interest in this evil art and immediately handed it back: "Since you are interested, then keep it, but you must not become addicted to this evil sorcery, nor should you allow it to spread."

Lai Wen doesn't want it.

Changsun Bing was also uninterested.

As for Mingxuzi and Granny Xian, the two elderly masters who were nearing the end of their lives had absolutely no interest in this kind of method that required a lot of energy to master.

I have the will but not the power.

"In that case, I will keep this book safe."

Qi Sheng was overjoyed.

Others looked down on this method, either because it was too vicious or because it was too difficult, but he was different: "I am not afraid of difficulty. Once I master this method and cultivate the demonic fire, I will be able to use the demonic fire to torture any demons or monsters I encounter in the future. They will then spill all their secrets, including the method they have been practicing."

He was willing to work hard, but he struggled to find various magical arts and techniques.

Now that we have this 'Poisonous Torture: Collarbone Piercing Heart Lesser Asura Technique', finding methods and techniques will be much easier in the future!
Wonderful!

Wonderful!
