Wild Dogs

Although it was already late at night, fortunately, with the Swift Travel Talisman, Yang Fan arrived outside the peaks of Qingyun Temple a few hours later.

Several disciples on patrol stepped forward to inquire.

However, after seeing Yang Fandantang's token, he was still allowed to enter the sect.

After returning to his room, Yang Fan closed the doors and windows and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This descent down the mountain was truly dangerous, but thankfully we made it through unscathed.

Little Black jumped out of his arms and ran around excitedly.

"Alright, you'd better behave yourself."

As Yang Fan spoke, he shook his head and carefully took out the small cauldron.

When he arrived, he put everything that the old Daoist Beiming had given him into the small cauldron. He wanted to see what had become of those things.

Opening the small cauldron, Yang Fan first took out the talisman.

The yellow talisman that the old Taoist priest Beiming gave me was crumpled and didn't look very effective.

However, the Earth Escape Talisman at this time was completely different.

The yellow talisman looked brand new, as if it had just been drawn.

Yang Fan picked up the Earth Escape Talisman and glanced at it twice; a thought suddenly struck him.

Not only has the quality of the talismans improved, but their effects also seem to have changed.

Yang Fan swallowed hard, then tried to infuse spiritual energy into the talisman.

"brush!"

The talisman lit up and then enveloped Yang Fan.

Yang Fan then discovered that the ground seemed to have become incredibly soft, and he could crawl into it at any time if he wanted.

"Let me try!"

Yang Fan burrowed downwards with all his might, and then his entire body disappeared underground.

"Haha, it really works!"

Yang Fan clenched his fist with some excitement.

He then paced back and forth underground for what seemed like an eternity, until he was almost out of breath, before finally returning to the surface.

"This is good stuff!"

Yang Fan held the talisman, admiring it with great interest.

Although I don't know what the original earth-遁符 (earth-遁符) looked like.

However, he was certain that the Earth Escape Talisman in front of him was much stronger than the previous one.

After putting away the talisman, Yang Fan looked at the book [Blood Yin Technique].

He found this technique incredibly sinister when he first saw it, and he wondered what it would become after being enhanced by the small cauldron.

【Heavenly Fiend Nine Yin Manual】

"What kind of technique is this?"

Yang Fan immediately flipped through the cultivation manual.

This cultivation method still focuses on the Blood Path, taking a completely different path from the Azure Cloud Ascension Scripture.

Although Yang Fan had only just begun learning the Qingyun Ascension Scripture, he was not prepared to change his cultivation method casually.

This technique was given to me by the old Taoist priest. Although it has been improved by the small cauldron, all its drawbacks should have been eliminated.

However, this thing was too evil, so Yang Fan decided to continue cultivating the Azure Cloud Feather Transformation Scripture.

However, the technique also recorded some secret methods at the end, which greatly interested Yang Fan.

"The Heavenly Fiend Slash uses fiendish energy as its source, capable of condensing that energy to unleash a fatal blow!"

"The Devouring God Technique allows one to absorb the enemy's divine consciousness using a secret method, thereby strengthening one's own divine consciousness!"

"Nine Yin Claw, a secret bloodline technique, uses condensed Yin energy to form claws to fight enemies..."

Yang Fan looked at these secret techniques with great interest.

Although these secret techniques are not magical arts and seem rather sinister, they are quite effective for self-defense.

Yang Fan stopped flipping through the last page of the Heavenly Fiend Nine Yin Manual. He looked at the last secret technique in disbelief and couldn't help but swallow.

The final secret technique of the Heavenly Fiend Nine Yin Manual is called "Body Seizure!"

At first, Yang Fan didn't even know what possession was.

After he understood what was going on, he realized what had happened.

"It's actually a method by which cultivators seize another person's body."

"However, the person being possessed must cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining before they can be possessed. No wonder this old man was so generous in giving me the cultivation technique."

A cold sweat broke out on Yang Fan's back.

He always thought that the old Taoist priest Beiming had sent him up the mountain just to help him retrieve something.

Now it seems there's more to it than that; it's also about seizing his body!

However, he had never cultivated any power, which was why he hadn't made a move.

"Old man, so this is where I was waiting!"

Yang Fan gritted his teeth, and then cold sweat broke out on his back.

"He taught me the Blood Yin Technique, but whether he tampered with it or not, nobody knows."

"If I were to cultivate, he might be able to easily control me."

The more Yang Fan thought about it, the more terrified he became. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hands trembling slightly.

Fortunately, I managed to obtain the Qingfeng Technique; otherwise, it would have been troublesome if I had been forced to cultivate the Blood Yin Technique.

In that case, even if you get rid of the Gu worms, you will still be controlled by the other party.

"Hmph, what can you do if I don't practice your techniques?"

He doesn't plan to cultivate the Heavenly Fiend Nine Yin Technique, but he can learn the secret techniques that follow.

Then Yang Fan took out the Concealing Breath Technique book as well.

[The Art of Concealment]

Clearly, after being enhanced by the small cauldron, the Concealing Breath Technique became the Divine Concealment Technique.

This Concealment Technique is far superior to the previous Breath Concealment Technique.

"Most likely, that old man tampered with the Concealment Technique, but with the Divine Concealment Technique, he can't see my true cultivation level."

Yang Fan looked intently at the Concealment Technique.

As for the small drum, it looked no different from before, and Yang Fan didn't know what it was for.

Since we don't know, let's put it away for now.

"I also bought some wine, I'll send it to Senior Brother Wang tomorrow."

Seeing that the small cauldron, which had originally contained wine, had turned into a white jade-like object, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head.

We can't take this over there; we'll have to find a way to get a regular wine jar later.

I looked at the sky; it was already late at night.

However, Yang Fan was not sleepy at all.

Driven by the will to survive, Yang Fan sat down cross-legged with renewed vigor and continued his cultivation.

He has already refined a portion of the spiritual energy into his body. He only needs to refine more spiritual energy to officially enter the first level of Qi Refining.

The night passed quickly. As dawn broke, Yang Fan arrived early at the front hall to clean.

After cleaning the front hall, Yang Fan took the Swift Travel Talisman, intending to return it to Senior Brother Wang when he returned.

But no matter how long Yang Fan waited, he never saw Senior Brother Wang again.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Fan hurriedly walked towards the rooms next to the main hall.

Although Senior Brother Wang was also a handyman, he did not live in the wooden house on the back mountain, but in several rooms next to the front hall.

These rooms are where timber and medicinal herbs are stored. He usually has to look after these herbs, so he lives next door.

"Senior brother!"

Yang Fan knocked on Senior Brother Wang's door, but there was no response.

"Could it be that I overslept?"

Yang Fan hurriedly pushed the door open, but to his surprise, the door was not closed and opened with a push.

Senior Brother Wang's room looked like it had been ransacked; everything inside was in a mess.

"What happened? What's going on?"

Yang Fan stared in astonishment at Senior Brother Wang's room, wondering what had happened.

"Yang Fan, you're back?"

Upon hearing the familiar words, Yang Fan quickly turned his head.

"Zhou, Senior Brother Wang, he..."

Zhou, the foreman, waved his hand, went into Senior Brother Wang's room, and rummaged around again.

"Pah, what a penniless wretch, he has nothing."

Zhou Bantou grumbled and walked out.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Wang?"

Yang Fan hurriedly asked Zhou Bantou.

"What happened? This kid messed up while tending the fire yesterday, burning the pills. He was then killed by Grandmaster Chiyang with a single palm strike. It was a truly gruesome sight!"

"Or I had someone wrap him in a straw mat and bury him on the back hill, tsk tsk tsk..."

Yang Fan was struck dumb, frozen in place.

As Zhou Bantou spoke, he walked towards the back of the mountain. After taking two steps, he stopped.

"From today onwards, you will be in charge of this front hall. In a few days, I will arrange for a handyman to come over for you."

Zhou Bantou staggered away from there.

Yang Fan seemed not to hear, and he took out the crumpled Swiftness Talisman from his pocket, his mind in turmoil.
