Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 105 The Wu Family is Haunted
Eighty-two thousand taels of silver notes.

Eight bottles of unidentified pills and powders.

Two sets of inner armor, one set of fish-scale armor, a pair of daggers, and a purple-gold mace, all of which are of the finest quality.

The four manuals are "The Mighty Vajra Palm", "The Maitreya's Descent Sutra", "The Heavenly Eagle Spear Technique", and "The Green Sun Refuge Mantra".

There are six talismans, two red, one blue, and one yellow. Adding to the two yellow talismans from before, there are a total of six.

What remained were some food, water, dry rations, and ordinary armor, enough for several hundred people.

In addition, including the storage bag, a total of 2863 points of spiritual essence were harvested.

This should be enough to make up for the spiritual energy consumed in the last simulation of "Sky-Splitting Sparrow".

However, he has only been practicing martial arts for a short time and lacks experience, so he doesn't recognize these things.

He immediately felt a little worried.

Fortunately, there was a beautiful female captain of distinguished birth standing nearby.

So, after a quick discussion, he packed his things and brought them to find Du Bingyan.

Inside the room, the beautiful captain had already prepared tea and was waiting for a long time.

Clearly, after recognizing the storage bag, she guessed that Liu Sheng would come to her door seeking help.

"That's really underestimating me..."

Liu Sheng touched his nose, but still honestly took out the items one by one and asked her to appraise them.

"This armor is made with wind spirit iron, deep-sea silver mother and many other spiritual materials. It is sturdy and lightweight, and its quality is no less than that of my captain's armor."

Du Bingyan put down the fish-scale armor in her hand and then appraised the two sets of inner armor, daggers, purple-gold maces, and other weapons and armor.

The two inner armors are of the highest quality, almost like magical artifacts. They are made of the hide of a bull demon, making them impervious to blades and spears, and impervious to water and fire, providing extremely strong defense.

The dagger and the purple-gold mace are both high-level weapons, and they contain a lot of spirit iron.

It is incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through gold and jade, and slicing through hair with a breath.

One was incredibly powerful and heavy, about five feet long including the handle, yet weighing over a thousand pounds.

Just then, Liu Sheng received the "divine power" talent, and his previous weapons were not suitable for him. This purple-gold melon hammer can make do for now.

Of the eight bottles of pills and powders, Du Bingyan recognized six of them.

There are pills for strengthening the internal organs and refining the blood, pills for cleansing the marrow, pills for replenishing vital energy and healing wounds, and two kinds of poisonous powders, which are extremely toxic.

Liu Sheng loved it so much he couldn't put it down.

Du Bingyan recognized all six talismans: two red, one blue, and three yellow.

The three yellow talismans are the Jade Horse Talisman, the Bewitching Talisman, and the Wall-Passing Talisman.

The blue talisman is a concealment talisman.

The remaining two red talismans are the most precious, and they are the "White Lotus Transformation Talisman" that Liu Sheng has been longing for.

One was brand new, while the other had slightly faded runes.

Xu Qidong was crippled by him before, but he recovered overnight thanks to this kind of talisman.

Old He is saved.

I just don't know if this talisman can make my master's severed arm grow back?

It took almost half an hour to appraise all the items.

Liu Sheng expressed his gratitude, left her a set of inner armor, and finally said:

"I've learned that Master Wu in the inner city seems to be keeping a demon?"

Previously, when Zheng Xiangzhu wanted to use the Wu family as leverage, he had revealed this information.

At that moment, Liu Sheng had already condensed an invisible blade of energy in his hand and had no choice but to unleash it, leaving no time to ask questions.

Du Bingyan happened to have dealt with that Master Wu before, so she could find out the truth as soon as she asked.

"Demon?"

An unnatural look crossed Du Bingyan's face, and she felt conflicted.

On the one hand, only by killing the demons and taking their soul cores can her mental wounds be healed.

She dares not return to the mountain for help, fearing that her sect will discover she is no longer a virgin and she will be punished.

This is currently the safest and least disruptive method.

On the other hand, this healing method was too shameful; once used, the two would be like husband and wife. She looked at Liu Sheng with a complicated expression, filled with anticipation, trepidation, and unease, her heart a jumble of emotions.

"I'll go to the Wu residence tonight to check things out."

Liu Sheng didn't give her a chance to continue agonizing over it. He said goodbye, left behind a set of inner armor, and took his things back to his room.

The two are currently sleeping in separate rooms.

The Wu family in the inner city is connected to the Prince of Jin's mansion; if they are not careful, their families could be implicated.

If Master Wu really did raise a demon, then it would be a genuine Qi Refining level combatant.

With Liu Sheng's current strength, he can easily defeat True Form Martial Masters, but he has never truly fought against Demons or Qi Refiners.

Their current strength is somewhat insufficient.

His eyes flickered a few times, and he picked up the four captured secret manuals and began to read them.

The White Lotus Sect has been in rebellion for thousands of years and has a profound foundation, no less than any other sect, making it worthy of emulation.

After a moment, he put down the manual and fell into deep thought.

These four martial arts consist of one skill and three methods. Among them, the second volume of the "Maitreya's Descent Sutra" is extremely profound. It not only contains the content of the martial arts of the first four realms, but also includes the method of entering the Dao and building a foundation after the True Form.

However, it requires a special ceremony, including publicly preaching and converting tens of thousands of believers, in order to succeed.

The more believers one converts, the higher the level of the foundation of one's faith becomes.

Very weird.

Such behavior would not be permitted by any dynasty.

"No wonder the White Lotus Sect is always keen on riots and rebellions! Only in that way can they hold rituals and establish their foundation for enlightenment."

Could their actions this time be part of a ritual... for someone?

Liu Sheng stroked his chin, as if he had just realized something.

If you think about it, it's really possible.

The remaining three martial arts techniques are all martial arts skills with their own unique advantages, but for Liu Sheng, they are only for reference and to enrich his knowledge.

When he chooses to practice martial arts, he selects them based on the type of his current avatar, which makes it twice as effective as if he has a speed boost. Why not do it?
However, I can practice the "Sky Eagle Spear Technique". With the "Hawk Form" talent, I should be able to master it quickly.

Therefore, the only way to significantly enhance strength at present is through the deduction and ascension of the incarnation.

He pursed his lips, summoned the system panel, and light and shadow flickered before his eyes—

Name: Liu Sheng
[Dao Fruit]: Seventy-two Transformations
[Talents]: Hawk Form, Blade Heart, Flowing Light, Snake Form, Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Poison Devouring, Tiger Form, Tiger Roar, Tiger Ferocity, Spider Form, Concealing Breath, Silk Pulling, Phenomenal Form, Divine Power, Prison Suppression, Standing Firm

[Cultivation Level]: Visceral Realm (Entry-level)

[Avatars]: Sky-Splitting Sparrow, Azure-Scaled Serpent (can be deduced), Striped Giant Tiger (can be deduced), White-Faced Black Puppet Spider (can be deduced), Golden-Toothed White Elephant

[Spiritual Essence]: 4382
……

"With the remaining spiritual points, as long as we're lucky, we should be able to deduce and upgrade to an avatar."

Liu Sheng withdrew his gaze, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.

There are three possible incarnations; which one should you choose?
I was incredibly lucky this time, gaining nearly three thousand points of spiritual energy in one go. I wonder when I'll get this much again.

Perhaps... the Wu family?
"I currently have two demon-level avatars, especially the Sky-Splitting Sparrow. If I can't defeat it, I can run away. Tonight, I'll first assess the situation before deciding which avatar to use for deduction."

His eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, he made up his mind.

After nightfall.

He put on his inner armor, covered it with fish-scale armor, and carefully stored his storage bag close to his body before preparing to move out.

At the entrance, Du Bingyan, fully armed, had been waiting for a long time.

what?
Is this woman going along too?
I don't want to bring any burdens!
"I have a family to worry about, so I'll have to trouble you to look after them."

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Before she could speak, he cut her off with his own words, and then continued:

"Tonight is just for reconnaissance. Once the intelligence is confirmed, I will return."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the night in a few bounds.

"This bastard!"

Du Bingyan spat, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to become a "nanny".

We'll settle this score with him sooner or later!
