Chapter 498: Chisel Bones and Change Skin

The person who came was Xiao Xiao Yuansi. His expression was gentle, and his cultivation had reached its peak. Just standing here, a faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air. The cloud patterns on his sleeves were pale gold, and his expression was gentle:

"Don't be so polite..." Li Li Ximing had gone to the Xiao family several times to find him, but had returned empty-handed. Later, the Xiao family even sealed the mountain and did not come out, making it even harder to see Xiao Xiao Yuansi. Now, he was quite moved and asked several questions in a row.

"How is Master's cultivation now? Are you preparing to break through to the Early Zifu?!"

"Still lacking some heat."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi answered gently one by one. During the short time he appeared, Li Li Xijun had already made some guesses and thought: "It seems that Mu Mu Mili and Juwu coming out of the mountain were both lured by the 'Old Man on the Creek'. The Xiao family making this trip specifically probably has some ideas."

The Li family's trip was only for Mount Wushan; what else was there that was worth Xiao Xiao Chuting sending someone? The young man in white shook his sleeves and first thanked him:

"Thank you, Senior, for your help."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi waved his hand lightly. As for whether he was thanking him for catching Mu Mu Mili by the way or for luring the man and the demon out of the mountain, both knew it in their hearts. Then he saw Li Li Xijun smile and say: "The junior was troubled not knowing the depth and taboos of Mount Wushan, and just happened to meet Senior passing by here. I hope you can give some pointers."

"Good, then let's go take a look together."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi looked at him in surprise, chuckled, agreed, and said softly: "Talking to Li Xijun is truly like a spring breeze."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi paused. The red light transformed by Mu Mu Mili in his hand could no longer hold on, changing into a smooth head connected to a short section of spine, opening its mouth to beg for mercy.

Xiao Xiao Yuansi pointed a finger at his brow, and Mu Mu Mili lost his mind in an instant, hazy as if falling into a dream. Xiao Xiao Yuansi opened his sleeve, and Mu Mu Mili dissolved in his sleeve like white snow meeting light.

He cast a spell to collect this person, and only then did he speak with a slight apology:

"My family's True Person has a thing or two to ask this East Shanyue."

Having said this much, Li Li Ximing also understood that Xiao Xiao Yuansi came for Mount Wushan. They rode the wind together and saw a monk with narrow eyes riding the wind, the golden light in his hand condensing into a chain, tightly hanging a leopard-like demon beast.

Juwu had only escaped a few miles, and Master Kongheng had long been waiting not far away. The demon beast had suffered some minor injuries; how could it escape from the master's hands? In a moment, it was captured back.

"The master is here."

Li Li Ximing greeted him. Xiao Xiao Yuansi looked at Master Kongheng and said softly: "Take this demon beast into the formation; it might be useful."

Master Kongheng looked at Li Li Xijun and nodded slightly, then silently landed beside the few, replying: "Master Kongheng greets Senior."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi nodded and looked at the pitch-black formation under his feet. Li Li Xijun captured Juwu and said in a deep voice: "Open the grand formation."

Juwu stiffened its neck, unable to spit out a word, its color fierce but its heart weak, looking fierce. Li Li Xijun looked at it twice, pointed at Xiao Xiao Yuansi on the side, and said softly: "This is Senior Xiao of the Early Zifu Immortal Clan, the nephew of the True Person. Even if Jiao Jiao Zhongzi takes revenge and kills his way back, he will only fall into the True Person's palm. Don't worry."

Seeing Juwu's expression change slightly, he continued:

"Or is Jiao Jiao Zhongzi currently in seclusion overseas breaking through to the Early Zifu? Do you think he has the certainty to break through?"

Juwu's expression changed several times. Jiao Jiao Zhongzi had been missing for many years, and it actually didn't know where he was. Looking at the appearance of the crowd, Mu Mu Mili was probably dead. This demon beast had some feelings for Mu Mu Mili. For a moment, its friend was killed, and it remained silent and refused to speak.

When Li Li Xijun drew his sword and pressed it against its neck, cold and bone-chilling, Juwu spoke decisively and replied:

"To enter and exit this formation, you need a witch talisman, which is on me. Loosen the bindings a little, and I will get it for the Immortal."

A group of cultivators was here, any one of whom could take its life. Li Li Xijun was not afraid of it playing any tricks and let Master Kongheng loosen the restrictions. The demon beast swept its eyes over the crowd and looked at the "Early Zifu Immortal Descendant" standing with his hands behind his back.

It opened its leopard mouth, stuck out its long blood-colored tongue, spat out a brown witch talisman, and summoned it toward the pitch-black grand formation. Immediately, the light vanished and the fog dispersed, revealing the great mountain within the formation.

Li Li Xijun nodded slightly. It was not that they couldn't break the formation and go, but with this detour, the rare witchcraft formation was preserved, and there would be no need to forge another grand formation to protect this mountain in the future.

The crowd only approached the mountain slightly and felt the magic wind dissipate, as if falling into mercury. Juwu opened the grand formation overnight, its mentality changed suddenly, and it hurriedly said: "Mount Wushan once stored supreme treasures. Over the years, this place has been covered in mulberry trees, the spiritual energy is heavy, and immortal arts passing through this place lose their clear and spiritual energy. The most frustrated is the art of riding the wind."

"Is it 'Answering the Beggar's Question Under the Mulberry Tree'!"

Xiao Xiao Yuansi frowned slightly. He had a flying shuttle magic tool and it was not necessarily impossible to fly here, but he took care of the few and said softly: "Then let's go up from the foot of the mountain and take a look."

The few landed at the foot of the mountain and sure enough saw mulberry and locust trees everywhere, pitch black. In the mountain, white jade made steps, spring water gushed, and cyan-green flowed down, splashing and crystalline. Many jade stones had experienced the vicissitudes of life, their brilliance dim, revealing ancient colors.

Li Li Ximing praised, and the crowd climbed the steps. When they reached the platform, Li Li Xijun held his sword, his spiritual sense swept, and he saw a patch of pig-like creatures lying crookedly under the platform.

These pigs had limp limbs, their eyes were confused and lusterless, looking as if they had no intelligence. On their necks were jade collars blessed with formation patterns, emitting brilliance, their bodies naked, painted with all kinds of patterns.

They had different cultivation levels, the lowest at the peak of fetal breathing, the highest at the late stage of Qi refining, but they were all foolish and lying on the ground.

Juwu saw the crowd silent and hurriedly stepped forward in embarrassment, explaining:

"Performing witchcraft often requires some blood sacrifices. These are specially cultivated... sacrifices."

Master Kongheng had traveled north and south and was well-informed. He had seen many such things in the north. He closed his eyes, a look of anger faintly appearing on his face, and said in a deep voice:

"Human livestock."

Li Li Xijun listened silently. The so-called human livestock were of the same category as "rice meat" and "blood minced meat," only they were mostly made of practitioners, catalyzed by various spiritual objects and medicinal stones, becoming this appearance.

"Looking at this appearance, the Qi refining cultivators of the Northern East Shanyue are all here."

Li Li Xijun added a sentence and said softly: "The Northern East Shanyue does not harvest blood energy or resentment energy. It turns out they use human population to pile up Qi refining, and then practice the way of human livestock..."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi looked twice, remained silent, lifted his sleeve lightly, and shook out a medicine tripod from it.

This medicine tripod was gray-white all over, looking quite sturdy. A gray wind emerged from the tripod, stirring among the human livestock, blowing them into screams, flesh and blood flying, white bones exposed. The flesh on the pigs' faces fell off, and their eyeballs rolled all over the ground.

One breath blew the flesh off, one breath blew them into blood water all over the ground, and another breath blew even the bones into powder.

Xiao Xiao Yuansi performed hand seals again, and the blood water surged, falling into the tripod, swallowing it clean. The jade stone was as clean as new, without a trace, as if the human livestock all over the ground had never appeared.

'Good magic tool...'

The brothers looked at each other. Master Kongheng sighed lightly and said gently:

"【Shangqi Xun Wind】... Senior has good means."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi shook his head, seemingly full of worries, and continued to step forward along the jade steps, seeing a piece of jade wall along the cliff.

The wall was carved with many curse techniques, whether it was transformation, blood sacrifice, gu poison, or curses... most of them required blood energy, resentment energy, and sacrifices to be performed, all at the fetal breathing and Qi refining level, of little use to Foundation Establishment.

Juwu hurriedly said: "Senior Duanmu Kui occasionally had a whim over the past few hundred years and taught some witchcraft techniques, totaling six times, all on this wall."

Xiao Xiao Yuansi read it carefully from beginning to end and remembered it all in his heart. Li Li Xijun watched casually, waiting for his own family to come and record it. He looked left and right, but didn't see the spell Mu Mu Mili had performed, and asked a question.

Juwu replied:

"That green-faced ghost was Mu Mu Mili's own tossing... Foundation Establishment level orthodox prayer techniques, transformation wonders... He hid them tightly, how could he be willing to teach!"

Juwu seemed to have studied at Mount Wushan as well, complaining about this matter, only saying:

"He took the immortal book, and Early Zifu-level witchcraft techniques were at his fingertips. Back then, he pressed Chi Wei, Zhang Zhang Tianyuan, and Qing Qing Jifang to fight alone. We were good, we didn't even have a Foundation Establishment witchcraft technique!"

'Senior Duanmu Kui died, and it's no wonder the Mount Wushan crowd surrendered to Mount Qingchi overnight...'

Li Li Xijun listened carefully. It turned out that Senior Duanmu Kui didn't treat the Mount Wushan crowd as disciples at all, and the Mount Wushan crowd had long had a consensus, harboring resentment. If they hadn't been truly unable to resist Senior Duanmu Kui, it was uncertain if someone would have abandoned Mount Wushan and surrendered to Mount Qingchi while Senior Duanmu Kui was still alive.

Between words, Xiao Xiao Yuansi had already recorded the many jade walls completely, stepped forward, and said softly: "'Answering the Beggar's Question Under the Mulberry Tree' is probably a magic book above the seventh grade. In the world, probably only a few secluded caves and the techniques of Mount Luoxia Mountain can compare, not to mention the material itself is not vulgar."

When they reached the mountaintop, they saw a jade platform, with many jade pillars of different heights standing, carved with formation patterns for gathering spiritual energy, looking like a place for cultivation.

These jade pillars were high or low, and at the highest point there was a jade throne, looking like it was arranged according to status. In the middle was a jade pool, the blood in which had dried up, turning into black traces, and a pile of white bones lay in it, looking ferocious and ugly. Xiao Xiao Yuansi stopped in place, quickly stepped forward, found the second highest jade pillar, and tapped it three or two times in order on the top.

Then he saw the jade pillar shining brightly, the formation patterns lighting up one by one, spitting out a stone slab. Xiao Xiao Yuansi took it lightly, stroked it lightly with his hand, and wiped away the layer of magic light that covered and protected it.

Seeing the surprised eyes of the crowd, Xiao Xiao Yuansi remained silent and quickly said:

"Among the many witches, there was one who was a good friend of my uncle Xiao Xiao Chuchou, named Di Lu Nanhuo Tianfu, who was good at talisman Dao and also practiced magic Dao, and his strength was very strong."

Speaking of Xiao Xiao Chuchou, a look of heart-wrenching complexity flashed across his face. He clenched his fists and his breathing became slightly heavier, continuing:

"Some time ago, his lifespan was about to end, and he intended to break through to the Early Zifu. He rode the wind to find my family, entrusted his affairs, learned that his uncle had long since died, and then found me... He attacked the Early Zifu, probably couldn't keep his life, and had no children, so he left everything behind, and said he hid things in Mount Wushan, so I came to take them."

Seeing Li Li Xijun nod, he handed the jade slab to Li Li Xijun and said softly:

"You all watch first, I'll go take the rest."

'This is the reward.'

Li Li Xijun took it and thanked him, while Xiao Xiao Yuansi rode the wind to a remote place in the mountain. Li Li Ximing gathered around to take a look, and this jade slab was carved with a set of ancient secret techniques.

"Chisel Bones and Change Skin."

This secret technique mainly records the six ways of planting blood, which requires a certain cultivation level to perform. It can capture a demon beast alive, use the demon's cultivation to pour into the top, requires personally "chiseling bones and stripping skin," and then use the demon's blood and flesh to pour into one's own body, thereby achieving the purpose of seizing the cultivation of other things for one's own use.

This technique requires finding a demon beast that is a Dao reference to each other to perform. Once this technique is successful, it can be seized into the body. For an immortal cultivator, it is one person possessing two Dao foundations, and the strength increases instantly—of course, there is no possibility of breaking through to the Early Zifu again.

"So it's a magic technique of different mansions in the same furnace."

Neither of them had low vision and quickly saw the clues. It was nothing more than an alternative method of eating other people's Dao foundations. Every sect had collections, and several demon heads in the magic disaster had practiced it.

There were fewer in the sea, and the techniques were more widely spread overseas, with more taboos. Many Early Zifu Jin Dandao cultivators practiced this technique, mostly taking people to refine, with a higher success rate and a more compatible immortal foundation.

Li Li Ximing had ambitions for the Early Zifu, glanced at it, was not interested, and silently retreated to study these jade pillars. It was Li Li Xijun who took it to read twice and read two sentences:

"When performing the spell... extreme pain in the world, almost obliterating the mind, once learned, or influenced by demon nature... temperament changes."

Li Li Xijun was immediately tongue-tied.

You know, every word in the technique is precious, and every passage is as concise as possible, so the author's background is often lost. Being able to write about pain is worth noting, not to mention "extreme pain in the world," which I think exceeds the "Golden Melting Cave" famous for its pain.

"Unfortunately, there are too many drawbacks... otherwise it could be used..."

Li Li Xijun really had some thoughts. After all, not everyone is Li Li Xuanfeng. If the family has savings, waiting for a Early Zifu to appear, a protector with enough weight, or even invincible in Foundation Establishment, is very important. This technique is one of the ways.

"Although this technique has too many drawbacks, it is a good method. The family can keep an eye on collecting one or two."

He copied the jade slab and thought silently. Li Li Xijun thought he had no hope for the Early Zifu and had no ambition or selfishness. Being able to protect his brother Li Li Ximing and his grand-nephew Li Li Zhouwei, he felt satisfied.

"My Early Zifu path is broken, so be it. If I can exchange for the unparalleled combat power in Foundation Establishment like Ancestor Li Xuanfeng, even if Li Ximing fails to break through, I alone can support the family."

Li Li Ximing didn't notice, but Master Kongheng was familiar with Li Li Xijun, saw it clearly on the side, guessed his thoughts, and wondered in his heart:

'I heard that Li Li Yuanyun could not practice in his life, was extremely down-and-out, died in the border workshop, and the family's favor was the thinnest... but he gave birth to such proud sons as the Li Xijun brothers... it's interesting...'

The few thought about their own things, Xiao Xiao Yuansi had already drifted over, his expression invigorated, looking like he had gained a lot, with a little smile on his face.

"Senior!"

Li Li Xijun returned the jade slab, Xiao Xiao Yuansi glanced at it, put it away by the way, and was not in a hurry to leave, but said softly: "Li Xijun, does your clan have the idea of unifying Wangyue Lake?"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Li Ximing was slightly embarrassed, Li Li Xijun thought silently, the atmosphere cooled down slightly for a moment, Master Kongheng saw it was wrong, silently retreated, closed his eyes and recited scriptures.
