Chapter 256 - 234: Qi Observation Technique, Snake Demon Elder Liuu

Chapter 256: Chapter 234: Qi Observation Technique, Snake Demon Elder Liuu

Six months later.

Inside the Little Golden Altar Cave Heaven is the Nine Heavens.

In the secret chamber of the cave heaven floats the white jade dragon pattern gourd.

Inside the gourd is another world.

Inside the Longevity Palace.

Song Lin stood in front of the Yin Yang Transformation Wheel, concentrating his mind.

Click, click, click!

The wheel spun continuously.

An invisible force spread out.

This invisible force was not some powerful shock wave, it was intangible and weightless, softer than the mountain breeze.

But in essence, it was a formidable power that fundamentally dismantled the enemy.

Once drawn within, the Yin Yang Transformation Wheel would spin, instantly grinding a person into nothingness, with the energy absorbed by three dragons.

It seems the Dragon Nourishing Secret Method is no longer needed; it can slay demons or kill humans easily.

During these six months, apart from cultivation, there were also breakthroughs on the path of practice.

Song Lin walked to the middle of the courtyard.

His jet-black pupillae turned snow white.

In his eyes, the world was composed of countless gases, each with different colors.

Even the structures of arrays could become visible.

This was the Qi Observation Technique.

Seeing through the essence of things and the rules of their development.

This was not a spell but a blessing.

With this blessing, it would be easy to spot the enemy’s flaws in future battles or predict subsequent attacks.

Yuann Tiangang left a total of seven volumes of ultimate knowledge, three on "Face Reading," one on "Geomancy," and three on "Essentials."

Song Lin studied for six months and utilized the Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd to comprehend the Qi Observation Technique blessing.

But this path was truly vast and profound.

Song Lin originally thought about learning this road simultaneously, but now he realized he had underestimated its complexity.

The path of Feng Shui divination deals with the Heavenly Mechanism, different from ordinary spells, and a slight oversight could lead to a terrible death or punishment by the Heavenly Dao.

More critically, the input and output are disproportionate.

The most obvious example around him was Zhi Xin.

After painstakingly striving for over a thousand years, he had nothing to show for it, with only less than sixty years of life left.

If he practiced other magic skills, with his talent, he would have become a master by now.

Therefore, Song Lin felt it was best not to delve too deeply and learning the basic Sixty-four Trigram Divination Method would suffice.

Even a Heavenly Master cannot master everything.

These magic skills would be stored for future bargaining chips in transactions.

Zhi Xin certainly needed them, and Song Lin estimated he could sell them for a good price.

Thinking of this, Song Lin left the Gourd Cave Heaven.

Returning to reality.

Although he had mixed in the story world for decades, Song Lin didn’t forget the four goals he set at the beginning.

The four conditions must be met before the next Phoenix Platform Dragon Throwing.

This way, whether breaking away or contrasting with Fire Cloud, he’d always come and go freely.

Walking out of the Small Cave Heaven, he returned to the main hall of the Taoist Temple.

He ran into Shi Yinhua.

"Temple Master," Shi Yinhua slightly bowed, hastily.

"Come back, where are you rushing off to?" Song Lin called out to Shi Yinhua.

"It’s like this... A snake den was discovered at Yin Mountain Camel Peak, and I wanted to go and check it out."

"What kind of snake den requires your personal inspection?"

Shi Yinhua, being the chief of Xuanke Temple, had a Core Formation cultivation at full strength.

For Shi Yinhua to act personally, it was likely a Great Demon.

"No, I was thinking of absorbing them into the Divine Medium Immortal Skill vein."

Shi Yinhua revealed his plan.

A disciple named Xiao Xuan discovered a snake nest while collecting herbs.

The snake nest contained hundreds of white snakes, some ten zhang long, lying on the rocks, breathing the Sun and Moon Essence.

So he quickly reported to the Taoist Temple.

Shi Yinhua sent people to investigate and found the white snakes did not harm people; they lived off the mountain dew, only absorbing the Sun and Moon Essence.

This sparked his interest in subduing them.

The Divine Medium line was too monotonous, the demon fox was not all-encompassing, it needed other magic veins for supplementation to sustain vitality.

"A snake immortal joining us?" Song Lin pondered briefly; the plan seemed feasible, so he agreed to let Shi Yinhua go.

At night, Shi Yinhua brought an old man.

Before they even entered the Taoist Temple, Song Lin had already seen them with his Qi Observation Technique, so he did some preparations in advance.

The Taoist Temple’s gate.

Shi Yinhua brought in an old man with skin covered in scales.

The old man looked around, both shocked and scared.

The patrolling Taoists and the hidden Taoist soldiers, even the cleaning Taoist disciples, all possessed considerable cultivation.

Had the human Taoist Temple grown this strong?

According to the Chief Corpse, the entire Taoist Temple had more than two thousand practitioners, and over two hundred Qi Refining Taoists.

Elder Liuu initially did not believe this; upon seeing it firsthand, he was immediately convinced.

Just the Chief Corpse alone was this strong, so the temple master must be incredibly formidable, right?

The two entered the main hall, and Elder Liuu froze, cold sweat pouring, nearly revealing his true form.

A young Taoist sat in the primary seat, with the room dark and profound, making it hard to discern his expression.

What really frightened Elder Liuu was the Coiled Dragon along the beam.

For serpents, seeing the Dragon Species was more terrifying than encountering a natural enemy.

At least with natural enemies, there was room to resist. But with the Dragon Species, the bloodline suppression was overwhelming.

Just as Elder Liuu almost revealed his true form, the Coiled Dragon disappeared.

Only then did Song Lin stand and smile, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Liuu Mang, greetings to the temple master."

Elder Liuu bowed tremulously.

No longer having any thoughts of bargaining.

Originally, he thought Shi Yinhua’s recruitment had some benefit, and Elder Liuu didn’t believe in the win-win method he mentioned at all.

Though he couldn’t defeat Shi Yinhua, Elder Liuu intended to negotiate during this visit.

Upon seeing the Coiled Dragon, that notion instantly vanished.

Joking, a single Coiled Dragon was enough to exterminate the white snakes. What thought of bargaining could he have?

Moreover... being able to serve under Master Song, isn’t that an honor?

Thinking of this, Elder Liuu’s eyes shifted, and he bowed his head, "This old one requests the temple master’s acceptance!"

"Very well, Yin Hua, make the arrangements."

Song Lin encouraged with a few words, then dismissed him.

He still needed to stay up late organizing the Thunder Mansion Ghost Soldiers’ data, preparing for Wang Ziyue and the others to replicate them.

This time, there should be no meddling interferences.

During leisure from cultivation, guiding disciples, teaching some spells, or boosting reputation in allied Taoist Temples was quite pleasant.

Of course, though Song Lin wanted peace, others wouldn’t allow it.

Zhengsi was troubled with how to annoy Song Lin, but then a letter from Fire Cloud renewed his hopes.

Song Lin was surprisingly someone from the Mei Mountain Jungle, his target!

Wasn’t this perfect?

Thus he convened with Fire Cloud for secret talks, and Fire Cloud’s confidence immensely swelled.

In a resident’s home in Shanyin County.

Another group was engaged in intense debate.

A girl with a fur coat, her tiny face snow-white and delicate, rested her face on her hand, idly playing with the tea set.

Beside her, an elder with a soft, feminine demeanor displayed anxiousness.

"Oh, my precious, why choose such an insignificant Taoist Temple when there are better places? Wouldn’t randomly selecting a jungle be better?"

"Nothing of the sort. I find this place quite lively."

The girl’s voice was clearly that of the person from the Spirit Baby Temple’s carriage.

"No way, there are plenty of lively places; this Xuanke Temple has no future, please heed reason."
