Chapter 37 Blood Demon Soul Search
Some time ago, Chen Yi dealt with several first-tier high-grade fire-attribute mutated demonic beasts at the talisman shop, such as the Xuanhuo Snake and the Crimson Flame Lizard.
These demonic beasts contain violent fire elemental power, which is difficult for ordinary cultivators to absorb directly. However, Chen Yi, with the system's devouring ability, can transform it into pure fire-attribute spiritual energy to temper the golden radiance within his body.
It imbues the originally pure golden radiance with a scorching property, greatly increasing its lethality.
Under the tempering of the Fire Spirit, Jin Hui gradually changed from bronze to dark gold, and his muscle fibers were forged as if in a furnace, increasing in density and toughness.
Chen Yi had tested it. Now, when he throws a punch with all his might, the golden light bursts out, and the fist can briefly reach the destructive power of a first-tier peak spell, enough to pierce through the protective aura of an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!
Jin Hui is a fusion of fire spirit power and metal energy, with both burning and penetrating effects, and it has additional restraint on blood cultivation and Yin soul-type techniques.
Considering the potential battles, Chen Yi deliberately didn't consume too much Golden Radiance during this period to break through to the third level of Body Refinement, but instead quietly accumulated a considerable amount of Golden Radiance.
Now, he can unleash three extreme punches in a short period of time. The power of each punch is close to that of a first-tier peak spell. The three punches combined can even threaten a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage!
Meanwhile, Chen Yi absorbed seven second-tier Spirit Nourishing Pills during these days. The pure spiritual energy he devoured allowed his spiritual sense to steadily improve every day, rising from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level within half a month.
Furthermore, the energy of the second-tier Soul Nourishing Pill was converted into spiritual power and injected into the dantian, assisting in the cultivation of the "Turtle Breath Water and Wood Technique," subtly raising the level of magical power cultivation to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
During his breakthrough, Chen Yi fully activated the Breath Concealing Technique, and instead of filling his empty meridians with spiritual energy all at once, he slowly absorbed external spiritual energy over the next three days.
Therefore, his subtle breakthrough did not have much impact.
Chen Yi would use about 30% of the special spiritual energy within the Nourishing Spirit Pill each time to comprehend the [Divine Sense Acupuncture] ability.
Now that his spiritual acupuncture technique has been fully mastered, when he recites it...
An invisible needle, as thin as a cow's hair, can pierce an enemy's ancestral aperture in an instant, reaching within fifty feet in a flash.
The effect is remarkable; even if ordinary cultivators notice it, they have no means of protection.
The moment someone is pierced by the Divine Sense Needle, most will have their spellcasting interrupted and their spiritual power disrupted. In the worst cases, they may even suffer severe soul damage and fall into a coma from a single piercing.
This kind of attack method, which targets the soul, is not common even among those in the Foundation Establishment stage.
During the Qi Refining stage, it becomes an absolute trump card.
Chen Yi never expected that his study of formations and the refinement of the Divine Sense Needle, intended to help Qin Chengcheng break the soul restriction, would instead lead to the development of this powerful secret technique.
It was a surprise.
At the same time, the power of his divine sense, especially the precise control he gained after mastering the acupuncture technique, allowed Chen Yi to more accurately control the golden radiance within his body, accelerating the "bone refining" process of the Vajra Skill.
That night, Chen Yi was cultivating in his room when a mother-child talisman in his sleeve suddenly emitted a fluctuation.
Chen Yi took it out and saw that it was the mother-child talisman he had secretly given to Huo San Niang as a warning.
Something's happened.
Chen Yi's heart stirred.
He immediately disguised himself, concealed his breathing, and quietly left the room. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man pacing anxiously in a certain place on the back street.
Chen Yi recognized the man; he was one of Huo San Niang's underlings, surnamed Wang.
"What happened?"
Chen Yi appeared quietly behind the man, startling Wang Cheng.
He didn't recognize Chen Yi in disguise as a middle-aged man, but Third Sister had instructed him, "If something happens to me, wait here. If someone recognizes you, just tell them what happened."
"Senior! Third Sister is in trouble!" the man cried out in alarm.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Chen Yi led the man to a secluded courtyard, which he had secretly rented over the past two years under the guise of a rogue cultivator. It was only two rooms away from Huo San Niang's courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Yi activated the formation, went to the room, and cast a silencing spell. Only after the silencing effect enveloped the room did he allow the other party to speak.
Three years ago, Third Aunt sent Xiao Wu to another place to lay low. A few days ago, seeing that things had calmed down, Xiao Wu came back on his own initiative, and we continued to work for Third Aunt.
But during this period of time, while keeping a close eye on the blood cultivator Li Wusheng, Xiao Wu revealed his true colors.
Half an hour ago, he was captured by Li Wusheng and dragged into his cave.
We believed Xiao Wu wouldn't betray us, but for some reason, half an hour ago...
A streak of blood-red light suddenly appeared in Third Sister's courtyard, piercing directly into her defensive formation.
Now, Third Sister's courtyard is shrouded in a blood-red aura, making it impossible for us to approach.
Seeing that something had happened, I waited for you at the place Third Sister had told me to go.
"I understand. You wait here and don't make any rash moves until this is over."
After giving his instructions, Chen Yi quickly changed his clothes in the room. When he came out, he had transformed into a young boy.
Soon,
He stood quietly on Huo Sanniang's courtyard wall, his breath almost completely gone.
Chen Yi already knew the location of the back door of Huo San Niang's family's formation, and given his current level of near-first-tier high-grade formation mastery...
The thin layer of blood mist mixed with the opponent's formation was no challenge for Chen Yi.
At this moment, in Huo Sanniang's house, the night was deep and the candlelight flickered.
Li Wusheng, clad in a blood-red robe, his fingertips wreathed in crimson malevolent energy, sat beside Huo Sanniang's bed, his eyes as cold and venomous as a viper's.
"Huo Sanniang, do you think I don't know who you're running errands for?"
He opened his palm, and a wisp of remnant soul wailed and dissipated—it was a fragment of Wang Cheng's soul!
"The feeling of being subjected to the Soul Searching Technique is unpleasant. Your underling revealed everything before he died..."
Li Wusheng sneered, "The body cultivator traitor that the Dong family has been searching for for four years was actually hiding right next to you."
Blood trickled from Huo Sanniang's lips, her face deathly pale, yet she gritted her teeth and sneered, "Li Wusheng, you dare to use demonic secret techniques? Aren't you afraid the righteous forces of this market will annihilate you?"
"Hahaha, the Dong family has been working with me for years. How many 'dirty jobs' have I done for them? In this market, nobody can touch me!"
Li Wusheng lifted Huo Sanniang's chin with his fingertips, his bloodthirsty aura seeping into her meridians. "Now, I'll give you two choices—"
"First, you must confess everything now, then lure that person out and cooperate with me to apprehend him."
"This can be considered your redemption through meritorious service. After that, if you are willing to wholeheartedly submit to me and earnestly assist me in my cultivation with your charm, I can let you enjoy your old age in peace once I have achieved foundation building."
"Second, I'll personally search your soul, turn you into an idiot, and then slowly mold you!"
Huo Sanniang spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Pah! You're dreaming! I'd rather die than betray my teammates!"
Li Wusheng's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light: "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
He formed his fingers into claws and suddenly gripped Huo Sanniang's skull—
Blood Demon Soul Searching Technique activated!
The scarlet thread pierced Huo Sanniang's seven orifices, causing her to convulse all over, yet she clenched her teeth tightly, her face contorted in agony.
