Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 313

[Chapter 312: The Art of Destiny (11 more chapters to make up)]

“I didn’t expect that this marrow-penetrating poison is so useful. It can actually penetrate the defense of a human skin magic weapon… and directly corrode its owner.”

Yu Hua looked at this scene and couldn’t help muttering, and then a trace of cruelty appeared on his face: “I just want to join the Taoist temple and learn the true method, why… why do you all want to force me?”

“That white-faced Taoist priest only gave me this poison, but didn’t tell me about his backup plan… I’m afraid he’ll use me as a scapegoat. The only thing I can do now is to run away!”

He made up his mind and prepared to escape.

…

“Haha…you’re pretty good!”

Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard, and Fang Xi appeared, holding a white-faced Taoist in his hand.

“Is it Senior?!”

Yu Hua showed an expression of surprise, and although it was a bit pretentious, Fang Xi still approved of it.

“Do you know…what happened tonight?”

Fang Xi sat down slowly and poured himself a pot of tea.

He was now certain that the condition of the old abbot of Wupi Temple was definitely very bad.

The concealment ability of the ‘Six Desires Demon’ is also extremely strong, and it is difficult for people of the same level to see through it.

“I don’t know, please give me some advice, senior!”

Yu Hua bowed deeply.

“In short, Wupi Temple is leaderless right now, and the middle and high-level Taoists are fighting among themselves…”

Fang Xi smiled slightly and pointed at Senior Brother Li: “This person wants to use you as a powerful medicine to present to his master to cure his injuries caused by his demonic possession… But the Taoist’s master doesn’t want to see this, so he ordered him to sabotage it secretly…”

He casually threw the white-faced Taoist to the ground, stood side by side with Senior Brother Li, and asked calmly: “Do you know your situation?”

“Scapegoat?” Yu Hua smiled bitterly and suddenly bowed deeply: “Senior, please save me!”

“Well… you and I are the first to meet, so it can be considered fate, but God helps those who help themselves…”

Fang Xi said slowly: “Your magic power is low, you are really a burden… There are two big pills on the ground now, you can absorb their magic power and control their skin…”

He was still skeptical about the possibility that the Taoism in this world could seize each other’s foundations, and he needed to conduct some on-site investigation.

“How to take it?”

Yu Hua was silent for a while, then he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

The ‘skinning technique’ he learned was not the complete version and did not contain this part.

“Not bad, not bad…”

Fang Xi laughed and passed on a mantra that he had obtained from the white-faced Taoist priest’s soul-searching.

Yu Hua already had the basics of the “Skinning Technique”, so learning this method was like having divine help.

After a moment, he stood up and walked towards Senior Brother Li and the white-faced Taoist priest.

…

After a stick of incense.

Fang Xi looked at Yu Hua in front of him who had a surprised expression on his face.

This person was making hand gestures with his hands together, and two human skins were standing on his left and right.

The two human skins obviously belonged to Senior Brother Li and the White-Faced Taoist Priest.

Under Yu Hua’s command, the two pieces of human skin quickly filled up and turned into two human figurines, who performed a set of long punches with great vigor.

Bang!
Senior Brother Li punched the pillar of the room, leaving a deep fist mark.

The white-faced Taoist waved a dagger and cut at the finger.

Snap!
The dagger broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

These two puppets were incredibly powerful, their hands and feet were comparable to peerless weapons!
Not only that, after controlling the two human skins, even Yu Hua’s own cultivation increased dramatically, as if he had swallowed some panacea.

“This method… is truly extremely evil.”

Fang Xi saw Yu Hua’s happy expression and said to himself, but then he laughed strangely: “Now you are just a big ant… Train yourself to become a human skin magic weapon. If you meet a Taoist who practices ‘shadow puppetry’, he can kill you with just one move!”

“Shadow puppetry?!” Yu Hua stopped performing and stared at Fang Xi with burning eyes.

“You can obtain a method from the Tao, and a technique from the method… The highest inheritance of Wupi Temple is the ‘Blood Skin Method’, and the next is the ‘Shadow Puppet Technique’… If you can obtain the ‘Shadow Puppet Technique’, you will have hope of building a foundation!”

Fang Xi explained with a smile.

“If you have any request, please tell me directly. I can’t refuse you anyway…” Yu Hua’s heart was moved, and then his face became expressionless.

“Very good, only then is he worth being saved… I don’t know how to do shadow puppetry, but I know someone who can. Do you dare to come with me?”

Fang Xi asked.

“Please lead the way, senior!” Yu Hua clasped his fists.

“Ha ha!”

Fang Xi laughed, grabbed Yu Hua’s arm, and swaggered out of the room.

Along the way, Yu Hua saw many Taoists on patrol, but they ignored the two of them.

Fang Xi seemed to be familiar with the route, and walked through the hall until he arrived in front of a palace.

Yu Hua looked up and saw the plaque of the palace – Wuyuan Palace!

“It would be troublesome to be around that old man and take him down without making any noise.”

Fang Xi muttered and slapped the storage bag at his waist.

One after another, green battle flags emerged, were beaten into the surroundings, and disappeared into the palace walls and fake stones.

The Taoist priests near Wuyuan Temple did not dare to patrol close by, which instead gave him a lot of convenience.

After the formation was set up, Fang Xi made a hand gesture and said, “Start!”

An invisible ripple instantly spread out, like a big bowl, covering the Wuyuan Palace.

“Okay, in this way, no matter how turbulent this place is, there will be no movement in the outside world.”

Fang Xi walked into the palace with his hands behind his back.

“Who are you?”

A person with blush on her face, who looked like a maid, noticed Fang Xi and immediately screamed and tried to pinch Fang Xi with both hands.

There was a layer of gold and iron color on her translucent human skin palms, and even any magic weapon could leave traces!

Hiss!

The maid’s shadow puppet’s hand swept across Fang Xi, leaving only sparks, but Fang Xi’s chest seemed to be completely unharmed.

He grabbed the maid, and corpse fire appeared on his palm, turning her into ashes in an instant.

At this time, a group of shadow puppets also gathered around, there were at least a hundred of them.

“Who are you?”

“Who are you?”

The shadow puppets suddenly spoke, and countless voices overlapped.

“The one who wants you dead.”

Fang Xi responded calmly, clasped his hands together, and a burst of dark light shot up into the sky, transforming into countless dense silk threads, suddenly penetrating through the shadow puppets.

“Is it a real feathered priest?!”

The shadow puppets made strange cries, and a few surviving shadow puppets tried to escape: “Master, save me!!”

Unfortunately, before they could run far, they were pierced from behind by a black light.

Yu Hua stared at the penetrating object, which seemed to be a pitch-black nail.

However, the thunderous roar just now was not transmitted to the outside world at all.

“Senior… is he a real person?!”

Yu Hua looked at Fang Xi, somewhat incredulous.

Fang Xi was searching the souls of the human skins one by one at this time, and barely got what he wanted: “I can teach you the shadow puppet technique… but you also have to do one thing.”

“Please give me your orders, Master!”

Yu Hua was excited, and vaguely felt that this was the greatest opportunity in his life!
“After mastering this technique, I will swallow all the human skins in the hall… and then advance to the Dao Foundation!”

Fang Xi pointed at the human skin in the hall, which was still pierced by black lines and unable to move, and said with a smile.

“Daoji?!”

Yu Hua opened his mouth wide: “I can… become a Taoist priest?!”

“As long as your will is strong enough, it shouldn’t be a big problem…” Fang Xi touched his chin and began to teach.

For the magic skills in this world, he also needs a test sample to detect the difference between it and the method of ‘stealing the immortal foundation’.

Then, you can go and seize the ‘Blood Skin Method’.

…

Although Wuyuan Palace is located in a remote area, once the disappearance of Senior Brother Li and the White-faced Taoist priest is discovered at dawn, it will inevitably cause a sensation.

Therefore, Fang Xi chose to take these human skins, as well as the Taoist master Huaying among them, and sneak out of the Wupi Temple with Yu Huaxian. They randomly found an abandoned house in the city, and then began to teach the skills leisurely.

“Shadow puppetry…”

Yu Hua sat cross-legged, holding a shadow puppet in his hand.

That was a part of the Taoist Huaying, but after being suppressed by Fang Xi’s magic power, it had become like a dead object and was easily refined by Yu Hua.

Even its mana increased by several points!

Next door, Fang Xi withdrew his consciousness: “This shadow puppet technique is really amazing… The higher the magic power, the more shadow puppets you can manipulate… Each shadow puppet is at least equivalent to a Qi Refining puppet… If the number increases, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator will flee when seeing it.”

“What’s even more bizarre is that by devouring each other’s foundation, the speed of their magic power improvement is simply incredible… With my help of magic power, this person went from the mere first level of Qi Refining to nearly perfect Qi Refining in less than a month…”

“We can even start preparing for the foundation building process… the chances of success are very high.”

…

Not long after, Yu Hua came to pay a visit.

“Not bad, not bad… It seems that you are qualified to refine your life-defining technique.”

Fang Xi smiled and threw a human skin mask over.

That was the skin of the old Taoist Huaying himself!
After this person and his disciples disappeared, Wupi Temple was indeed in chaos for a while, but because the old Jindan was about to pass away and the city was full of good and bad people, other Taoists were unwilling to search the entire city for this, and the matter was left unresolved…

This gave Fang Xi a better understanding of the chaos and cruelty of this world.

“Thank you, Senior. I will go to build my foundation now…”

Yu Hua’s hands were trembling as he took the human skin mask.

There were scarlet lines dancing on the human skin mask, but it was stuck with talismans and could not move at all.

He came to the retreat room next door, closed the door, and immediately took a deep breath.

Then, Yu Hua tapped with his ten fingers, and gray-white threads penetrated into the human skin mask.

The human skin mask twitched hard, trying to make an angry expression, but it was stuck by the talisman and could not move at all.

“I’ve only just gotten started with shadow puppetry… But it doesn’t matter. As long as I refine you, I can gain all the accumulation of shadow puppetry skills, and easily refine my own great art, and lay the foundation for the great way!”

Yu Hua said something to the human face, and began to refine with his eyes closed…

After March.

Fang Xi, who was in the pavilion, felt the gathering of spiritual energy and couldn’t help but smile: “It’s done… but this feeling is still a little different from stealing the immortal machine. The Taoism in this world is quite ingenious… It takes the path of gathering people and achieving quick success.”
