Chapter 542: Borrowing Blood
Chapter 542: Borrowing Blood (Update 1)
Boom~
As the sword light dissipated, the divine realm began to tremble violently.
"Is this a win?!"
Not to mention Taoist Tiancan and Nie Xianshan, even Long Xixiang, who had instructed Li Yuan to fight quickly, couldn't help but shrink his pupils. This was too fast.
and……
"How did he take the first blow of the Demon Subduing Blade?!"
Not only him, but also Tiancan Taoist and Bald Monk, two great masters who had been trapped by the sword intent for decades, had the same doubts in their hearts.
The Demon Subduing Sword Technique is a peerless sword technique created by Wan Zhuliu with the strengths of hundreds of schools and the addition of the Demon Subduing Dragon Sword. When it is slashed out with a body that has achieved great success through blood exchange, even a master would not dare to take it head-on.
Li Yuan took it, and the blow didn't even break his body's protective Qi...
'He got the blessing from the Bafang Temple...'
boom!
After a moment of surprise, Taoist Tiancan was the first to react. The sword intent that had been trapped for many years was removed, and with his temperament, he couldn't help but let out a long roar.
Then he waved his sleeves and sent everyone present out of the divine realm. He then laughed and jumped into the dazzling divine light bursting out from the old tree.
hum~
As light and shadow flowed, Li Yuan exited the divine realm. Before he opened his eyes, he heard several "click" sounds. When he opened his eyes, he saw Long Xixiang's true energy being released, protecting the ancestral tablet in the small temple.
Nie Xianshan shook his body, and could hardly suppress the energy that was released outwardly, which showed that he was very excited.
The bald-headed Zen master also shook his body, making a deep and powerful sound like a Huangzhong or Dalu.
"Dharma protector!"
Long Xixiang reacted and raised his hand to press Tiancan Taoist's left shoulder. Nie Xianshan and the other man were half a beat slower. One of them pressed his right shoulder and the other pressed his back and began to transfer their true energy.
In an instant, all kinds of colors intertwined in the small temple, and the true energy of the four great masters shook and surged, forcing Li Yuan out of the small temple.
"call!"
When leaving the small temple, Li Yuan just exhaled a breath of foul air, his eyes were bright:
"The benefits of stacking armor are indeed huge!"
More than ten days ago, when he drew his sword for Wang Wenyuan in Zhaixing Tower, he was a little afraid of the first sword move to subdue demons, as he might get hurt if he took it head-on.
But at this moment, with the support of three sets of eighth-level divine armor, he could completely ignore this knife.
"If you use all your strength, Wan Zhuliu of the same level is no match for me!"
Li Yuan was in a good mood looking at the small temple shrouded in light. For many years, he regarded Wan Zhuliu as his biggest imaginary enemy and used him as a mirror.
When he first drew his sword, he was no match for Wan Zhuliu of the same level. But now, several years later, the situation is reversed.
The progress and transformation in this process was like fine wine, which made him happy when he thought about it carefully.
"If I wasn't afraid of getting hurt, I would have been able to withstand the Demon Subduing Sword Technique when I drew my sword for Master Wang before... Now, taking it head-on is not my limit."
Feeling the various blessings from the Military Control Scroll, Li Yuan felt relaxed physically and mentally. He couldn't help but take out a gourd of Herb Wine and gulp it down.
hum~
White mist rose from the small temple, covering the entire temple.
Li Yuan didn't have the inclination to wait any longer. He looked back at his brother and sister-in-law who had come out to watch the fun after hearing the noise. He touched the mask on his face and bowed.
"The old leader is still reliable. My second brother and his wife are both in good condition and have not been affected. The two little guys have also become much stronger."
With a slight smile, without waiting for a response, Li Yuan turned around and found a secluded place on the cliff, where he sat cross-legged, regulated his breathing, and reviewed his thoughts.
Whenever he encountered a battle or an incident, he would review the situation afterwards. This was a habit he developed in his previous life.
"Wan Zhuliu is indeed a rare strong man."
Family members know their own business. Master Li Dao has always been self-aware. Even if it is as if he could destroy Wan Zhuliu's sword intent with overwhelming force, he dare not underestimate him.
He thought to himself that if he didn't have the blessing of the Weapon Control Talisman, it would be a tough battle for him to defeat Wan Zhuliu.
"But why shouldn't I use it?"
Daoye Li has no psychological burden at all. He gives up the crushing game and instead fights an tormenting battle. That would be a sign of mental problems.
What's more, Wan Zhuliu's sword intent was born according to his current realm. He has the vision and intuition of a top grandmaster, which is much stronger than when he had his blood transfusion.
Recalling the battle just now, Li Yuan did not find any faults. From the time he attacked to the time he defeated the sword master, there were no flaws or mistakes. He asked himself that if it was anyone else in the world, it would be the same:
"Big victory!"
Invincible at the same level!
Li Yuan thought about it and felt that it was hard to say about Tian Shiyuan, but at least in the current court and martial arts world, no one should be able to defeat him at the same level, but he did not deliberately pursue this.
Once your mind changes, you will let it go.
"The control combination has many more uses."
During the past half month, Li Yuan has been thinking and exploring more control combinations. In fact, he had similar ideas earlier, but the number of high-level weapons was scarce, so he could not try more combinations.
But now...
"Armor can be stacked, bone ornaments can be stacked, spirit boots can be stacked, swords, hammers, and sticks can also be stacked, and even bows can be stacked! It is good to control the Heavenly Luck Mysterious Soldiers at the same time, but with the characteristics of the Mysterious Soldiers, matching them with new combinations may have other magical uses..."
Li Yuan pondered in his heart.
A variety of palm-control combinations can cope with more different occasions, such as practicing martial arts, traveling, fighting... and so on.
The only slight flaw is that although the cooling time for replacing the control panel is very short, it is not seamless.
"If the Armed Forces Talisman reaches the tenth level, it should be possible to achieve a seamless replacement... Well, with the wealth of these two old seniors, it should be more than enough to help me upgrade the Armed Forces Talisman to the tenth level."
Li Yuan remained calm, meditating internally and practicing externally, and did not waste any time while waiting.
……
The temple door was closed and covered with clouds and mist. In a blink of an eye, it was night. Li Yuan was moving his qi and blood to nourish his body and mind. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
Looking up, I saw green light interweaving in the clouds and mist, transforming into an old tree with lush branches and leaves. The branches and leaves of the old tree were crisp, and made a rustling sound in the wind.
Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see the shadow of some animal flickering among the branches and leaves.
"Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm." Li Yuan watched carefully.
The old tree rose from the ground in just a moment, as if it had experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter. In the blink of an eye, the green leaves had turned yellow and fallen, but new branches soon sprouted, and then turned yellow and fell again.
This cycle repeated nine times, and the old tree trembled slightly. The vitality of the nine changes of withering and flourishing flowed back. In a blink of an eye, the door of the small temple was pushed open, and the Taoist Tiancan stepped out.
"Is this the ninth level of cultivation?"
Li Yuan was distracted for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the small temple.
All his illnesses were gone, and at this moment, Taoist Tiancan was filled with terrifying vitality. Even though he was dozens of feet away, Li Yuan could feel the vigorous vitality of all things.
"Congratulations, Senior, on achieving your ultimate divine power!"
Li Yuan bowed and congratulated him.
"Years of illness were cured in one day, and I didn't expect to enter the ninth transformation."
As he spoke, Tiancan Taoist bowed with his sleeves hanging to the ground, not giving Li Yuan a chance to refuse, and gave him a big gift:
"Thank you, my friend, for helping me save my life!"
"You are embarrassing me."
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and could only agree. Although he was always polite and courteous, he was actually very pragmatic.
"You deserve it."
The bald monk snapped his fingers and his true energy turned into words. He couldn't calm down at this moment.
"The old monk is right. You deserve it."
The old Taoist priest was full of energy as he let Li Yuan help him up. He stroked his long beard and was in a good mood. "Besides the things I have provided, if you have anything else to ask for, you may as well tell me."
"You are too polite, Senior."
Li Yuan said this while looking at Long Xixiang, who said:
"Senior, you have escaped from the disaster, so we should congratulate you. We can discuss the rest later, it's not too late!"
"Congratulations, great congratulations!"
Taoist Tiancan agreed with this and waved his hand to call over his disciples who were serving on the side and gave them instructions.
Over the next two days, Qinglong Pavilion held a banquet with 3,000 tables. All the citizens in the city and the merchants passing by were invited to the banquet, which attracted many people to join in the fun.
Seven days later, when people in the city were still discussing the grand banquet at Qinglong Pavilion, a great monk from Xinyi Sect followed suit and booked half of the restaurants in the city for a banquet with 3,000 tables, which was attended by many people.
Various discussions were rampant.
"My dear brother, is today a big day? Why is it so lively?"
A young swordsman who was rushing to join in the fun impatiently threw his hands away, but he stumbled. Realizing that he had met a master, he forced a smile on his face:
"The old man just came into the city, right? Today is not a big day. It's because the Great Elder of Xinyi Sect has a happy event and wants to invite the neighbors to a banquet. It is said that the scale is the same as that of Qinglong Pavilion a few days ago, with 3,000 tables!"
"I see. Thank you, little brother."
Qin Yun let go of his hand and let the young man leave in a hurry.
"interesting."
Qin Yun smiled and turned to look at the expressionless woman in black under the black umbrella:
"The immortal's guidance is indeed a magical method from outer space. This road is really pointed to the right one."
"Ok?"
Chi Lian was shocked and looked towards the restaurant at the end of the long street, a little confused:
"The temple founder? He, he has been found already?"
"The divine silkworm withered and flourished, the bronze bell with golden dragon patterns... it is indeed quite interesting."
Qin Yun had a subtle look on his face, but he did not step forward. Instead, he randomly found an inn to stay in. Chi Lian followed him reluctantly, while the White Elephant King followed at the end, carrying a fainted young man on his back.
……
……
"Moo!"
The deep roar echoed among the mountains, scaring away countless hungry beasts wandering in the snow.
The snow on the trees fell down, but encountered an invisible barrier three feet away from Li Yuan and slid to the side. He looked up and looked around.
There in front of me is a giant bull.
Its shoulders are three meters tall, its muscles are strong, its body is covered with gilded scales, and its curved horns are as transparent as white jade, shining in the sun.
This is an extremely rare spiritual beast, named 'Huangjiao Guniu', and ranks 23rd on the list of spiritual beasts in the world.
"Is it enough for your magic weapon to be tempered?"
When Li Yuan was distracted, Guniu spoke in a low voice.
"That's almost enough."
Li Yuan received a large jar full of bull's blood, and the bull disappeared into the forest in a flash. After a few moments, Taoist Tiancan came out of the forest.
"senior……"
"There are only eight kinds of blood, there is no more!"
As soon as Li Yuan opened his mouth, the old Taoist's face turned pale, and he waved his hand and disappeared into the dense forest.
"..."
Li Yuan still bowed to thank him, and after watching him go away, he picked up the earthenware jars:
"There are eight kinds, but only three of them belong to the five animals... To be on the safe side, I have to borrow the blood."
