Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 312

[Chapter 311 No Skin (10 more chapters to make up)]

The next day.

In the shanty town.

Yu Hua opened the door tremblingly.

No… it wasn’t him, but a piece of human skin!
Yu Hua’s human skin!
This human skin had empty eye sockets and was floating around like a paper man. There were some blood-colored runes all over the skin, which seemed to be embroidered with red thread.

“It’s done… hehe… it’s finally done!”

“I have finally achieved enlightenment.”

After taking off the human skin, Yu Hua walked out slowly, making a hoarse and dry voice, like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert.

His entire body was covered in a black robe, with faint traces of blood seeping out.

At this time, he chanted a spell and put the human skin back on again.

Not long after, Yu Hua walked out of the door, his face pale from blood loss, and walked towards the “Wupi Temple” in the center of the city with firm steps.

What he didn’t realize was that Fang Xi was standing not far away, looking at him with a smile on his face.

“The magic skills of this world are more inclined towards magic…”

Fang Xi murmured.

From what he gained from searching Aunt Lan’s soul last night, he had a deeper understanding of the Taoism in this world. It was indeed magic!

Not only is it a magic skill, but it is also a magic skill without attributes, and there is no requirement for the attributes of spiritual roots!
This means that as long as someone has spiritual roots, no matter what kind of spiritual roots they are, they can at least practice the entry level!
Yu Huaneng successfully practiced and drew Qi into his body, which means that he at least has the minimum spiritual root qualifications.

“It’s just that the foundation of these magic skills is not right. If this person enters Wupi Temple, I’m afraid he will not be blessed but will suffer disaster…”

Fang Xi looked thoughtful, then he made a hand gesture with both hands and disappeared.

“I still have to give this Wupiguan a try.”

“After all… I am just an incarnation, what is there to be afraid of?”

“What’s more… this body is very strong!”

…

No skin view.

Although this temple is called a Taoist temple, it is located in the center of the city and covers a very large area, like a palace.

Yu Hua staggered and came to a small door.

Here, there were vaguely some people, most of them dressed in silk and satin, with flattering looks on their faces, talking to the Taoist sitting behind the table.

The Taoist was in his forties, with a ruddy face and two rat-like mustaches. He did not look like a Taoist but more like a secular businessman.

At this moment, he was shaking his five carrot-like fingers, spitting all over his mouth:
“How many times have I told you that the alchemy room doesn’t need any more manpower? No Taoist boy can be stuffed in…”

“Go away… You dare to pollute my eyes with such a tiny night-shining pearl? Do you believe that I will arrange your kid to work in the chores?”

…

Many dignitaries in the city brought their sons and daughters… and waited anxiously for the Taoist to touch their bones and then present gifts.

Yu Hua could only watch from afar, and wait until there were fewer people around before he mustered up the courage to step forward.

“Hmm? Who are you? Are you available?”

When the fat Taoist saw Yu Hua, he sneered and asked.

“Haha…it must be another little rat from somewhere in the city. He heard about recruiting Taoist children and came here to try his luck.”

A noble lady standing by couldn’t help but sneer.

“Yu Hua… has no one to rely on, but he entered the Tao on his own.” Yu Hua answered hoarsely.

“What? Enter the Tao on your own?”

The fat Taoist was startled, and the lady next to him covered her red lips as if she had seen a monster.

“show me……”

The fat Taoist took a step forward, his expression no longer showing the previous playfulness, but became extremely serious: “If you dare to deceive me, you also know the consequences, right?”

“I don’t dare!”

Yu Hua made a magical gesture and a bright red line suddenly appeared on the skin on his hand.

“Good, good, good… He has indeed successfully entered the Dao, and he is practicing the ‘Skinning Technique’. He is really a ruthless person!”

The fat Taoist priest laughed: “Your name is Yu Hua, right? Come with me… Today you enter my Wupi Temple, maybe you can even worship a Taoist master as your master!”

After saying that, the fat Taoist priest grabbed Yu Hua and walked towards the Wupi Temple.

Yu Hua took a deep breath and looked around.

All the dignitaries lowered their heads, especially the noble lady who had mocked him before. The rouge and powder on her face fell off, and she looked like she wanted to lie on the ground.

“Is this… the power of a Taoist priest?”

The young boy thought so in his heart, already full of ambition: “Next… I want to become the leader among the Taoists, and then practice my own life skills and become a Taoist master!”

“Join my Wupi Temple, and we can call each other brothers in the future… You can call me Brother Li.”

The fat Senior Brother Li took Yu Hua to a courtyard and said with a smile: “Junior Brother Yu, take a few days’ rest first. Servants will bring you food later… I still have to report to Master. My Master likes young talents the most. Maybe he will accept Junior Brother as his disciple…”

“Thank you, Brother Li.”

Although he was not immediately listed in the Taoist record and became a Taoist child, Yu Hua still bowed respectfully.

After Senior Brother Li left, he looked at the exquisite furnishings in the yard and suddenly sighed.

…

Senior Brother Li walked out of the courtyard, and his smiling face gradually faded and became expressionless.

He walked deeper into the Wupi Temple. The people coming and going here were all Taoists wearing Taoist robes. However, they all had gloomy faces, and the air seemed to be filled with an unsettling atmosphere.

“Junior Brother Li…”

At this time, a Taoist priest with a pale face suddenly stopped in front of Senior Brother Li and said with a smile: “I heard… today you have recruited a disciple who entered Taoism on his own?”

Senior Brother Li’s expression changed, and he replied with a smile: “I am not yet listed in the Dao Records, so I am not considered a formal disciple… I was just about to report this to Master.”

“What a pity…”

The Taoist shook his head, as if he was very afraid of Senior Brother Li’s master, and turned and left.

Senior Brother Li walked away quickly and then said, “This news spreads so fast… Everyone is thinking about it…”

He walked some distance further and entered a palace.

The palace is square, with three large characters “Wuyuan Palace” inscribed on a plaque in the middle.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

In the palace, there are shadowy figures.

But when Senior Brother Li got closer, he could see that those were not people, but pieces of… human skin!
These human skins included men and women, old and young, each one was lifelike, and exuded the magical power fluctuations of the Qi Refining level.

“Greetings, Master!”

Senior Brother Li did not dare to be negligent and bowed deeply to the void.

“It’s you…what happened?”

A piece of human skin was suddenly stuffed into a thin old Taoist priest, who sat on a cushion and asked casually.

“I just accepted a person, a Taoist who has entered the Dao through practicing the ‘Skinning Technique’…”

Senior Brother Li did not dare to be negligent and explained the whole story in detail.

“Not bad… Not bad… You are very good… I received such a talented person and a beautiful jade, but I didn’t want to keep it for myself to increase my power. Instead, I thought of an old man like me…”

The gaunt old Taoist suddenly sighed: “I have been practicing the ‘shadow puppetry’ and have gone astray… Now I have forgotten who I am. Perhaps… this person can help me find some of myself…”

Senior Brother Li didn’t dare to answer, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Above the “skin peeling technique” is the “shadow puppet technique”!
His master successfully built his foundation with this life-defining technique, and lived to be 200 years old, and was called the “shadow Taoist priest”!
Once this technique is mastered, he can freely use the skin of people who practiced the “skin peeling technique” and use it as a magic weapon for easy sacrifice.

Many of the human skins in this hall are from Senior Brother Li’s fellow disciples…

This old Taoist has a high level of cultivation and has already reached the stage of perfect foundation building. Upon hearing an important piece of news, he ventured into practicing the next level of “Blood Skin Method” in order to try his luck.

It’s a pity that the old Taoist priest Huaying was a little eager for quick success and instant benefits. He has been practicing so hard recently that he has become obsessed and has “dissolved” himself. He can only live in a strange form on the human skins that he has refined.

Now, he is in urgent need of a “powerful medicine” to restore him to his original state.

“Forget it…just go down.”

Looking at the shivering Senior Brother Li, the gaunt old Taoist finally spoke.

Senior Brother Li felt as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed and walked out.

The gaunt old Taoist seemed unable to hold on any longer, and his entire skin exploded, revealing nothing inside…

In the huge hall, there were only countless human skins wandering around, pretending to be lively.

Faintly, the old Taoist’s voice could be heard: “No… I must find myself again… The old abbot is about to die. If I can obtain his golden elixir… I can directly practice the ‘Blood Skin Method’, become a real feathered priest, and live for 500 years!”

…

The night is dark.

“Brother Yu, good things are coming.”

Senior Brother Li hurried in with a smile on his face: “I’ve told Master that Master is willing to accept you as his disciple… Why don’t you hurry up and come with me to become his disciple?”

“Become a disciple…at night?” Yu Hua looked at the sky outside, a little hesitant.

“We cultivators don’t care about these things, and neither does our master. You should be careful when you serve him in the future…”

Senior Brother Li answered seriously.

“In that case… I’ll go with you, brother. I’ve thought about it. How can I be rude when I become your disciple? I prepared this gift with great care. Please take it and present it to our master…”

Yu Hua smiled and took out a wooden box and handed it to Senior Brother Li.

Senior Brother Li didn’t think much about why this disciple, who couldn’t even do anything, suddenly prepared a gift, and took it casually.

The next moment, his expression changed, and he looked at his blackened palm: “You poisoned me?!”

Yu Hua also became expressionless: “You want to harm me, and you won’t allow me to fight back?”

“Impossible…you little beast, how did you know that?” Senior Brother Li quickly made a hand gesture and the human skin fell off automatically.

That layer of darkness was actually left on the human skin. The remaining bloody man stared at Yu Hua with eyes full of resentment.

Yu Hua was not in a hurry, and sneered: “Of course I didn’t know at first, but from your actions, I felt suspicious… Later, a white-faced Taoist came to my house and hinted at this matter. Otherwise, where do you think my ‘marrow-penetrating poison’ came from?”

“Is it him?”

Senior Brother Li suddenly shuddered, thinking of the pale-faced Taoist priest he met today, and he could not help but feel hatred in his heart: “How dare this person violate the rules of the temple and plot against me? Oh no… This is actually a poison that penetrates the marrow…”

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a tingling sensation in his bones, and then his vision went dark and he passed out.

Without his control, the fat human skin stopped where it was and no longer wandered around.
