Using the side effects of Cultivation to ruin an Elite Disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect in a short time was no easy task.
Almost all of them possessed outstanding Martial Dao Talent and had built an excellent foundation. Their Inner Qi was of extremely high quality, giving them great resistance to demonic ailments and other diseases that might afflict the body.
The advantage of an Evil Skill was its speed, while a Righteous Skill could be summed up in a single word: "stable."
Therefore, Su Changqing, the newest name on the List of Gods, was without a doubt the most durable target Zou Feng had faced so far.
Fortunately, Zou Feng had a few ideas from before. Now was the perfect time to test them on Su Changqing.
With this in mind, Zou Feng immediately left his room and went straight to Liu Chun’s.
"Chunzi!"
"Hall Master!?"
Liu Chun seemed startled by Zou Feng’s sudden visit. A flurry of frantic rustling came from inside the room as he scrambled to put something away.
The man was clearly hiding something he didn’t want Zou Feng to see.
Once he was done, Liu Chun finally opened the door, a puzzled look on his face. "Hall Master, you were looking for me?"
Zou Feng glanced at Liu Chun and noticed the man hadn’t even pulled his pants on properly.
"Were you looking at those Erotic Paintings of yours again?"
Liu Chun froze for a moment, then scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh. "I haven’t taken a wife yet, and the brothels are a bit expensive..."
"Bring out all your treasured albums. I have a use for them!"
Hearing this, Liu Chun was even more bewildered. "Uh, Hall Master, surely you don’t need this kind of thing?"
’If he really needed it,’ he thought, ’Zou Feng could easily afford the most high-end brothels in Yuan Guang County.’
"Enough nonsense. Just get them," Zou Feng said, taking out two taels of silver and placing them on a nearby table. "I’m not taking them for free!"
To an ordinary sect member like Liu Chun, two taels of silver was a fortune. He stopped asking questions and immediately started rummaging through his trunks and cabinets.
Finally, he dug out the albums he kept hidden at the very bottom.
As he handed them to Zou Feng, he added proudly, "Don’t worry, Hall Master. I was always afraid of tearing or staining them, so I was extremely careful whenever I looked at them. There isn’t a single smudge on them."
Zou Feng had genuinely been worried about finding extra... substances on the pages. Hearing this, he felt a little relieved.
"Go have some fun."
"Thank you, Hall Master!"
Liu Chun pocketed the silver and left, beaming.
With money in his pockets, who would want to stay home alone with only his hands for company?
Zou Feng, for his part, selected a few of the most well-made albums and quickly returned to his room.
His room was already filled with several small statues of the Ten Directions Divine King and a number of hanging Dharma Images.
He had collected all of them over time to aid his Visualization of the Ten Directions Divine King and better practice the Great Compassion Hand.
Next, Zou Feng propped up the Erotic Paintings one by one and lit an oil lamp. The atmosphere in the room instantly became bizarre to the extreme.
The statues and Dharma Images of the Ten Directions Divine King were chilling enough on their own. Now, add to them high-quality Erotic Paintings...
But this was precisely the effect Zou Feng wanted. He even sat down in the middle of it all, began his detailed Visualization, and prepared to start his practice.
When practicing a Visualization Skill, the greatest taboo was distraction. If one’s thoughts went astray, it could easily lead to cultivation deviation.
But Zou Feng couldn’t wait to suffer a cultivation deviation. He wanted Su Changqing’s sweet dreams to turn into nightmares. Imagine dreaming of a night of passion with a beautiful woman, only for her to suddenly transform into the Ten Directions Divine King and turn the tables on him...
Of course, Zou Feng wasn’t messing around like this just to give Su Changqing the shock of his life.
He was also trying to modify the Great Compassion Hand and transform it into a Cultivation Skill that was truly suited for him.
After all, he wasn’t a true Ten Directions Cultist and couldn’t get a continuous supply of resources like Evil Pills.
Most importantly, he held no pious faith in the Ten Directions Divine King.
This meant that when he was Visualizing the Ten Directions Divine King Dharma Aspect, he only found it bizarre and couldn’t achieve any deeper insights.
As his proficiency in the Great Compassion Hand increased, these disadvantages would become more and more apparent.
The worst-case scenario was that he would never be able to cultivate the Great Compassion Hand to the Realm of Refining Fire.
Thus, Zou Feng had long considered modifying this Cultivation Skill. Su Changqing had just happened to walk right into his experiment.
The Erotic Paintings were just the beginning. In the future, Zou Feng planned to try Visualizing all sorts of other things.
’For example... Visualizing Xiaolv?’
’Or maybe even find an artist to paint a heroic, exaggerated portrait of himself standing atop a mountain peak, and then Visualize that...’
And so, Zou Feng practiced maniacally until midnight before finally calling it a day and resting.
Just as Zou Feng had predicted, Su Changqing did not sleep peacefully that night.
At first, Su Changqing was having a wonderfully amorous dream.
Ever since he’d had no shortage of women around him, it had been a long time since he’d had such a lustful dream, the kind he only used to have in his youth.
In the dream, ten supreme beauties, each with their own unique charms, were serving him with the utmost dedication.
Enjoying ten supreme beauties at once was an incredible experience Su Changqing had never had in real life.
After all, it wasn’t easy to gather ten supreme beauties at once in reality. Even for an Elite Disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, such indulgence wasn’t something he could have whenever he pleased.
The dream brought Su Changqing such immense pleasure that a smile even spread across his face in the real world.
But just as things were reaching the most crucial moment, the ten beauties unexpectedly shared a bizarre smile and then, abruptly, merged into one!
That’s right. In the blink of an eye, the ten beauties combined into a single monster with ten heads and twenty arms.
It all happened so suddenly that Su Changqing’s brain completely short-circuited. He had no idea how to react.
But he didn’t have to. The ten-headed monster was already lunging at him.
The roles of predator and prey were reversed. In the eyes of the ten-headed monster, it was Su Changqing who was the beauty to be fiercely ravaged.
"AH—"
With a blood-curdling scream, Su Changqing shot upright.
He had woken up from the nightmare.
He frantically looked around the room, and after confirming there were no monsters, he quickly felt the area below his lower back.
Only when he confirmed there was no searing pain did Su Changqing let out a long sigh of relief.
’Thank goodness, it was just a dream!’
’But then he felt utterly baffled. ’That dream was too bizarre. As a cultivator of my standing, I shouldn’t be having dreams like that at all...’’
Though he couldn’t figure it out, Su Changqing immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate his Heart Skill.
This Heart Skill could help him eliminate distracting thoughts and allow his Inner Qi to circulate more smoothly.
After cultivating until he was completely calm, Su Changqing lay down to sleep again.
However, he hadn’t been asleep for long before he shot up again with a scream like a stuck pig.
"NOOOO—"
