For ten years I practiced Gu poison in Southeast Asia; all living beings revered me as a deity.

"The Seven-Section Tiger Method?"

Luo Feng was taken aback at first, then quickly asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ali Chaya, I don't know much about this. Could you tell me more about the mysteries involved...?"

"no problem."

The old man, Alichaya, smiled.

"When your father came here to learn his craft, we had a good relationship. He even saved my life once. You could say I owe him a huge favor. Being able to help you in some way is a way of repaying that debt of gratitude."

At this point, the old man paused briefly, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, the dead cannot be brought back to life... Sigh, let's not talk about that. Let me introduce you first. Your teacher is a grandmaster of Lanna magic. He has learned a great deal in his life. He studied under a school founded by an ancient high monk named Kruba Kam, and he is also well-versed in Buddhism."

Alichaya said solemnly, "Guba Kam is the founder of our school. He is also the famous creator of the Five Scriptures tattoo. The various Lanna secrets he passed down to later generations have been absorbed and integrated by the masters of each generation, forming the Five Great Methods."

These five methods are the Tiger Curse Method, the Crocodile God Method, the Eel God Method, the Monkey King Method, and the Spirit Cat Method.

Your father, Nassa, practiced the "Sacrifice and Victory" method within the Tiger Mantra Dharma. In fact, the teacher included three major tiger methods in the Tiger Mantra Dharma: the Man-Eating Tiger, the Headless Tiger, and the Seven-Section Tiger.

In addition, the method of sacrificing victory is a curse method of the "man-eating tiger system".

"If what you say is true, your father's body is still there, and the evil spirit inside is sealed by the Death Binding Technique, then within ten years, before this evil spirit revives, as long as you learn the Seven Stages of the Tiger Technique, you will have the opportunity to unlock that corpse, bind it with your father's bloodline, and inherit the evil spirit within your father's body."

The elderly Alichaya made this suggestion.

"What are the benefits of doing this?"

Luo Feng quickly pressed on, "Isn't it better to specialize in one thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing. However, the binding spell is divided into binding for inanimate objects and binding for living objects. The binding spell is a method that uses objects to bind, seal, and control powerful ghosts."

The dark-skinned, thin old man explained calmly:

"Binding with life means binding the ghost into one's own body. Because one is a living being, even ghosts of the 'Spirit' level or higher can remain active and exert even greater power."

However, doing so would reduce my lifespan to only ten years. Unless I find another malevolent spirit of the same level and maintain balance with it, my lifespan could be extended again... Otherwise, after ten years, the powerful evil spirit can no longer be suppressed, and it will break free of my body and resurrect to wreak havoc!

What?

Luo Feng was stunned for a moment.

Does that mean that if you learn this kind of curse-binding method, you will only have ten years left to live?

Ten years later, when the evil spirits resurface, people will surely die.

"...Cultivating with a demonic creature of the 'Spiritual Level' naturally comes at a price."

Alichaya spoke calmly.

"Wait a minute," Luo Feng thought of something else: "Could it be that the Death Binding Technique doesn't require paying the same price?"

"The Death Binding Technique is to seal powerful demons into various non-human objects, creating a cursed binding device."

Alichaya explained: "This is a genital organ that requires regular blood offerings. Animal sacrifices are needed on a daily basis, and sometimes even human sacrifices are required."

Moreover, the longer such a binding device is used, the greater the demand becomes, and in the end, it is often beyond the capacity of an individual to bear the burden…

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked again, "However, are there some limitations to this kind of binding artifact, making it unable to bind evil spirits?"

"yes."

Alichaya laughed and said, "A person who wields a cursed artifact can never compare to a person who can seal a demonic creature alive within their own body, because such a person is infinitely close to a living evil spirit... Hehe, as long as you are human, you can never fight a real demon head-on."

The old man's voice was firm and unwavering.

"Ati, think about it again. Ghosts have immense power, and who wouldn't covet such power? Those in the world who have wealth and power are often extremely greedy. If it's just a matter of losing lives and money to obtain great power, then those in high positions will definitely want to try to acquire such power, even at the cost of harming the world."

However, whether it's crafting binding artifacts or practicing methods to bind evil spirits to oneself, the price is far too high. This is why those with weak wills hesitate to attempt it. Every gain and loss has its own destiny.

"I see."

Luo Feng's eyes were solemn as he spoke with an understanding tone: "Those with power often cherish their lives more. If they were to cultivate this kind of method, they would only have ten years left to live, and there's also the possibility of the ghosts going berserk and out of control. Faced with such danger, they are naturally unwilling to pay that price themselves..."

As for binding artifacts, if they cannot bind evil spirits, their power is too weak. Coupled with various limitations, they all seem to have flaws, thus achieving a balance.

"It's quite clever of you to have figured this out."

Alichaya smiled with relief.

"That's why I suggested you choose the Tiger Curse Method... Most importantly, as long as you can complete the seven stages of the Tiger Curse Method within ten years and find a suitable powerful ghost, you can use the Curse Binding Method to transform it into a Curse Binding Artifact."

Then, in the future, you won't need to pay a heavy price to control another high-level evil spirit with your own bloodline, and you won't have to worry about exhausting your lifespan.

"I see……"

Luo Feng's eyes also showed gratitude.

"Uncle Alichaya, I want to thank you."

"I'm just giving you a suggestion, it's nothing much..."

Alichaya chuckled softly, but then the old man seemed to remember something and his face hardened. He said seriously, "Because the trial methods change every time, outsiders don't know much about the Ghost Temple Trial. Since I was involved in the setup, I know some of the inside story."

"As I mentioned before, the Prajnaparamita Temple is not clean. If your group of ten were to conduct nighttime trials in that area, you might encounter some supernatural interference... But don't worry, it's probably just a scare tactic. As long as you are determined and don't find it strange, you shouldn't encounter any difficulties."

"The only thing to be careful about is that if you find that the eyes of the reclining Buddha in the Great Buddha Hall of the Paramita Temple have turned red, you must leave the Buddha Hall quickly. Even if you get the token, you must put it back... Wait until the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before entering again. Remember this very well."

"I've got it."

Luo Feng then asked, "Is there anything else I need to remember?"

"That's all."

Alichaya patted his right shoulder.

"It's getting late, we should get going."
