Chapter 354: Demonic Cultivation Technique

Hearing this suggestion that Wind Crane suddenly took the initiative to make, Song Qingming thought for a moment and decided to take his idea and took the yellow bell from Ma Tongsheng's hand.

Not long after, Wind Crane directly transmitted a set of cultivation techniques called the "Yinfeng Soul-Drawing Technique" to Song Qingming, asking Song Qingming to strip the trace of Wang Sihai's soul attached to the magic tool separately and put it into the Soul-Gathering Bowl that had already been prepared.

After a cultivator's soul is forcibly stripped from a magic tool, it will actively return to the location of the main body. However, if the distance between the two is too far and it cannot return to the main body within a period of time, this trace of soul will automatically dissipate in this world.

For this reason, Song Qingming could only seal Wang Sihai's trace of soul in the Soul-Gathering Bowl that can preserve souls first, so that it can maintain the soul for at least two months without automatically dissipating. Next, as long as he follows the guidance of Wang Sihai's soul in the bowl, he will be able to find the location of the demonic cultivator who abducted him.

"Senior! I really didn't expect that you still have such a spell to quickly strip a cultivator's soul. To be honest, I have also been to the Merit Pavilion of the Carefree Sect several times, but I have never seen such a mysterious cultivation technique like the Soul-Drawing Technique there."

"Haha! These cultivation techniques were all obtained by me from those demonic cultivators. Of course, you wouldn't see them in a famous and upright place like the Carefree Sect." Hearing Song Qingming's flattery, Wind Crane didn't hide too much from him and directly and generously told him the origin of this cultivation technique.

However, what he said lightly reached Song Qingming's ears like a thunderbolt, making his face turn somewhat pale instantly.

"What? This is actually a demonic cultivator's cultivation technique. Senior, are you trying to kill me!"

"Haha..., I said, is it necessary for you kid to be so fussed? It's just practicing a demonic cultivator's spell, and it scared you like this." Seeing Song Qingming's somewhat dejected appearance, Wind Crane immediately let out a contemptuous laugh.

Seeing that Song Qingming was still full of confusion, Wind Crane continued to say: "Whether we are righteous cultivators or demonic cultivators, and those demon cultivators who have cultivated to the point of being able to transform into human form, although the paths they take are different and the cultivation techniques and heart techniques are also different, everyone's ultimate goal is the same, and they are all just for a chance to ascend to the upper realm."

"Demon cultivators will eat people, and demonic cultivators will blood-sacrifice living beings, all for the sake of improving their own cultivation base. Can we, the cultivators who claim to be righteous, all be upright people? Those high-level cultivators you see who are full of righteousness on the surface also see mortals or low-level cultivators as ants."

"In this cultivation world, the reason why demonic cultivators are despised by righteous cultivators and need to be suppressed is also because most of the cultivation techniques they practice are eager for quick success, which will affect the cultivator's character. This also leads to these people doing things that violate the Dao of Heaven, such as blood-sacrificing other cultivators and ordinary mortals, for the sake of their own cultivation."

"But this does not mean that all demonic cultivation techniques are not good things. As long as you are not mainly practicing demonic cultivation techniques and only practice some such practical small spells, it will not affect the cultivator's own character. In the cultivation world, there are many cultivation techniques you know that are renamed from ancient demonic cultivation techniques. For high-level cultivators like us who have dealt with demonic cultivators, knowing a few demonic cultivator techniques is not a strange thing. It's just that for the sake of their own reputation, everyone generally will not take the initiative to show them in front of others."

Hearing Wind Crane's explanation, Song Qingming also felt that what he said made some sense, so his face gradually returned to normal.

"Senior, I would also like to ask, the Soul-Devouring Technique you gave me before, wouldn't it also be a set of demonic cultivation techniques?"

"Haha! You are thinking too much about this. If I really wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't need to play such small tricks that don't benefit me at all. The Soul-Devouring Technique is not a demonic cultivator's method. This set of cultivation techniques was obtained by me from an ancient secret realm after a lot of effort. However, the original cultivation technique used ancient inscriptions and was very difficult to understand. After so many years, I have only been able to understand it to the Golden Core stage. If you still want the subsequent cultivation techniques, it depends on whether I can quickly restore my cultivation base and continue to practice."

In fact, Song Qingming had already practiced the Soul-Devouring Technique for more than ten years. If it were really a demonic cultivation technique, he should have discovered the clues himself long ago. He just asked casually on purpose just now. He and Wind Crane had already signed a soul contract that bound the life and death of both parties. As long as this old guy didn't want to die, he absolutely wouldn't dare to use this method to plot against him.

Having entered the Dao and cultivated for so many years, Song Qingming had also grown very fast in all aspects. Although he was still not as good as a Yuan Infant old monster like Wind Crane in terms of scheming, he was no longer a young man with naive ideas.

Wind Crane was right. In this seemingly calm cultivation world, it is full of various dangerous calculations. Although demonic cultivators are mostly insidious and ruthless people, there is no lack of various scheming and cunning people among righteous cultivators. In comparison, Song Qingming felt that demon cultivators with faith and righteousness like Fire Phoenix and Dragon Wind, whom he had dealt with, might be more trustworthy to him.

In the Law Enforcement Hall of the Carefree Sect on Guyang Mountain, two Foundation Establishment cultivators who were on duty were busy handling various affairs in the hall.

Suddenly, a Qi Refining stage disciple in white clothes walked into the hall anxiously and handed a white letter that had just been received to the older gray-clothed Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting on the left.

The gray-clothed old man opened the letter and looked at it. After a while, he suddenly frowned, and his face became somewhat heavy.

"Brother Wang, where did this request for help come from?" Seeing that the gray-clothed old man's face was somewhat wrong, another young cultivator sitting on the side immediately asked.

The gray-clothed old man handed the letter in his hand directly to him and said seriously: "This was just transmitted from Junior Brother Xu in Tenglong Market. A few days ago, several disciples he sent to patrol in Black Stone Valley suddenly disappeared. After he went to the valley to investigate himself, he found that a tricky Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator had appeared there. Junior Brother Xu fought with him, but was defeated and almost lost his life. Later, he fled back to Tenglong Market and then sent this request for help."

"Although this demon is very likely aiming for the Demon-Suppressing Tower in Black Stone Valley, Brother, don't be too nervous. Junior Brother Xu's cultivation base is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Since he can escape from this demon's hands, it seems that this demon's cultivation base is not very high. Moreover, the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower was set by Senior Uncle Bai himself. Just relying on a Foundation Establishment demon, it is definitely impossible to break the seal in a short time."

"Although what you said makes some sense, this matter concerns the big demon Xiao Huang, so we still can't be too careless. We must hurry to send people to support."
