425. Chapter 424: New Method

The bald Daoist had just displayed great power, blowing a Jin Dan cultivator to death with one breath, but now he was wilted again. His aura weakened at an unimaginable speed, and his magic power was exhausted once more. However, after spitting out that mouthful of turbid energy, he looked at least twenty years younger, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable.

But afterwards, he felt pained about the twenty spirit stones that had just arrived in his hands.

These were top-tier goods, valuable even before the Dharma-Ending era, let alone now.

However, the bald Daoist's strike just now looked casual, but in reality, he had utilized the twenty spirit stones to the extreme. Not only did he rely on this spiritual energy to re-temper himself, spit out turbid energy, and rejuvenate, but he also helped Li Yi kill a strong enemy, selling a favor. Of course, the most important thing was that he had to spend all twenty spirit stones in front of everyone to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Why save you? Customers with conscience and generosity like you are rare. Besides, a customer buying things at this old Daoist's stall, only to be suddenly killed—where would the face of the Dao Tool Sect go?" the bald Daoist said.

Li Yi said: "That's not what I meant. I mean, you used twenty spirit stones to restore this level of power. Wouldn't it have been better to blow that breath at me? Kill me, and everything in my storage magic tool would be yours."

"And then have that flying sword turn around and slice off this old Daoist's head?"

The bald Daoist looked at Li Yi with the eyes of someone looking at a smart aleck: "Stop it. Those few spirit stones were only enough for this old Daoist to strike once. Now, the three flowers on my head have all withered, and I've dropped another major realm. Even if spiritual energy recovers in the future, I'll have to re-cultivate."

"When will this miserable life ever end?"

As he spoke, he wailed again.

"Baldy, don't be ungrateful. If you don't cut off the three flowers on your head, you definitely won't live for three more years. Now, relying on that last bit of magic power to self-cut your cultivation, spit out turbid energy, and wash yourself, you can at least live for thirty more years. As for your Dao Tool Sect, it was finished long ago. I said last time that your Qiankun Cauldron was useless, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you're honest, right?" a middle-aged Daoist nun couldn't help but scold.

"Liu Liu Guzi, your Three Flower Sect isn't much better. The Nine-Leaf Green Lotus of your sect withered ten years ago, leaving only a shriveled lotus seed. Do you think that lotus seed can still grow a green lotus?" The bald Daoist immediately jumped up and retorted unceremoniously.

"What shriveled lotus seed? That is the seed of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. As long as spiritual energy recovers and it is properly cultivated, the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus will bloom again. The foundation of my Three Flower Sect is still there, unlike your Dao Tool Sect, which has nothing left." Liu Liu Guzi's face also flushed red.

The bald Daoist said: "Fart, who doesn't know that the foundation of the Dao Tool Sect is one cauldron and one furnace? The Qiankun Cauldron is gone, but there is still the Heaven and Earth Furnace."

"Baldy, forget it. Didn't the Sect Master of your Dao Tool Sect also pass away long ago? Nobody knows where the Heaven and Earth Map went, yet you have the face to laugh at me. Last month, I even saw your precious disciple go up the mountain to cut firewood to exchange for some rice to help you. You've done such a job as a master that you might as well be dead, saving yourself from dragging your disciple down. And you haven't had any business for half a month, have you? The rice jar must have been empty long ago. Look at your face, it's so thin that only skin is left." An old Daoist on the side chimed in.

The bald Daoist scolded again: "Wu Lao, didn't the Sect Master of your Hundred Dao Sect also pass away early? You don't even know where the Heaven and Earth Map went, yet you have the face to laugh at me. Last month, I even saw your precious disciple go up the mountain to cut firewood to exchange for some rice to help you. You've done such a job as a master that you might as well be dead, saving yourself from dragging your disciple down. And you haven't had any business for half a month, have you? The rice jar must have been empty long ago. Look at your face, it's so thin that only skin is left."

Old Daoist Wu pointed at him, his fingers trembling with anger, then his eyelids rolled back, his eyes went dark, and he fainted directly.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Li Yi took a look and hurriedly walked over to support him.

"This old thing is hungry. He has no strength to argue, and he couldn't catch his breath, so he fainted. Just give him some food," the bald Daoist said. He had spat out a mouthful of turbid energy and was now full of spirit and had some strength.

Seeing this, Li Yi took a bottle of extraordinary nutrient solution from his storage magic tool and opened it to pour a mouthful for him.

Old Daoist Wu, who was lying on the ground, woke up immediately after a mouthful of nutrient solution went down his throat, then opened his eyes wide, grabbed the bottle, and gulped it down, looking exactly like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"What kind of good thing is that? Pill liquid? It doesn't look like it. I haven't seen it before."

The bald Daoist opened his eyes wide, staring at the extraordinary nutrient solution, but he couldn't recognize what it was. However, he knew that this thing was definitely very filling. Old Daoist Wu, who was about to starve to death, came back to life immediately after one mouthful.

"So refreshing. I haven't eaten so full for a long time."

Old Daoist Wu let out a long breath and licked his lips, still wanting more.

This thing also contained spiritual energy. Although the amount was small, it at least helped him channel his body's aura so he wouldn't die suddenly one day. Moreover, after drinking a bottle, he felt as full as if he had eaten a cow, feeling like he wouldn't need to eat for half a month.

"It's good that you're fine. But to thank this bald boss for saving my life, please accept the spoils of war from this enemy, Bald Boss."

Seeing Shanyi bring back the Jin Dan cultivator's corpse, Li Yi immediately took off the storage magic tool from the Jin Dan cultivator, stripped off his Daoist robe, and stuffed everything into the bald Daoist's hands.

As a result, the bald Daoist threw it directly on the ground and said: "In the Dharma-Ending era, what use does this old Daoist have for these external things? They can't be eaten or used. Besides, as a former elder of the Dao Tool Sect, what magic treasures have I not seen? If the guest takes these things back, and if the guest really wants to repay the old Daoist for saving my life, please pass on the new method to me, so that this old Daoist can continue the path."

As he spoke, he knelt down with a thud.

After he finished speaking, not only the bald Daoist, but the other bosses at the stalls also knelt down one after another, wanting to beg Li Yi to pass on the new method to them.

"Pass on the new method to you?"

Li Yi hurriedly helped him up again: "Bald Boss, what new method would I know? You are all sect masters and elders, proficient in the way of cultivation. If there is anything to ask, it should be the junior asking you for advice."

"You don't know the new method? Then just now, your silver aura broke out of your body, steaming like fire, invading all directions—what was that?" the bald Daoist asked.

Li Yi opened his palm, and silver Gang Qi condensed: "Are you talking about this?"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the Gang Qi condensed into a silver steel knife, slashing through the air at a nearby wall, instantly tearing a huge hole in the fragile wall.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. Can you teach me? This old Daoist really wants to learn." The bald Daoist nodded hurriedly.

"This isn't a spell, this is Gang Qi."

Li Yi said, but then realized that the martial arts of the Four Seas and Eight Continents seemed to be very compatible with this Dharma-Ending cultivation world. After all, martial arts did not rely on the energy between heaven and earth; one only needed to temper blood and energy. Moreover, practicing to the end could also bring not-weak strength and could also prolong life.

Although it couldn't compare to cultivation, this was the Dharma-Ending era; having martial arts was better than having nothing.

"Gang Qi, what is Gang Qi?" Old Daoist Wu on the side hurriedly asked.

Li Yi said: "Temper the blood and energy in your body into an internal energy, and then condense this internal energy, and it can be transformed into indestructible Gang Qi. It can kill people from a hundred paces away and fly through the air by controlling energy."

"Ah... so weak?" That Liu Liu Guzi was very surprised.

As a result, the bald Daoist glared at her fiercely. If you don't know how to speak, don't speak; no one treats you as a mute.

Liu Liu Guzi was glared at and immediately shut her mouth resentfully.

She also realized that she was no longer as good as she was at her peak, and she had no right to be picky. Being able to have a method to restore strength, even if it was a very small part, was already quite good.

Otherwise, a wild dog could bite a Daoist expert to death.

"It is very weak, far worse than cultivation, and the achievements are limited. You are all former top experts; it would be too wasteful to switch to martial arts," Li Yi said. His martial arts were suitable for the ordinary people of this world, but not for the cultivation bigwigs who were still alive in this world.

They were all old and frail, with declining blood and energy. It would be very difficult to have results after practicing for a lifetime.

"So this is called martial arts? Then can practicing this martial art not require heaven and earth spiritual energy?" The bald Daoist asked the key question.

Li Yi said: "It can indeed get rid of the shackles of heaven and earth spiritual energy."

"Great." The bald Daoist cheered excitedly upon hearing this.

As long as it didn't rely on heaven and earth spiritual energy, then martial arts was the new method, the hope and dawn of their future.

"I want to learn martial arts. You... can you teach me?" The bald Daoist then asked excitedly.

Li Yi touched his chin: "You saved my life, there is no problem teaching you martial arts. But this isn't the place to talk. Let's change places and talk again."

"Well said. Let's go, go to my cave dwelling." The bald Daoist hurriedly started to pack up his stall.

"Do you think your cave dwelling is still the blessed land it used to be? Now it's just a damp and wet broken cave. Benefactor, don't go to his place. If you want to go, go to the Tianxiang Tower. That is the best place in the Dao Court, with food and drink, and beautiful Daoist nuns to accompany you. It is said that the proprietress of the Tianxiang Tower was once a goddess of the Heavenly Dao Sect, born with a Dao body, graceful and charming, and was hailed as the number one person in the Heavenly Dao Sect in five thousand years."

Old Daoist Wu on the side showed a yearning expression.

"Right, go to the Tianxiang Tower." The bald Daoist's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Li Yi said: "It doesn't sound like a proper place."

"Nonsense, how is it not proper? The Heavenly Dao Sect is one of the three major sects in the world, guarding the Dao Court for tens of thousands of years, prosperous and enduring. Compared to it, the Dao Tool Sect is simply a side door. Recently, the Daoist nuns of the Heavenly Dao Sect have learned new dance music, which is very moving. It will definitely not disappoint the benefactor," the bald Daoist said.

"???" Li Yi felt like he was going to a brothel.

But for some reason, his body was very honest and followed these two old Daoists.

"Improper old things."

Liu Liu Guzi spat, but thinking of the temptation of the new method, she shamelessly packed up her stall and followed.

The other stall owners who were watching the fun also followed closely. ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
