Chapter 310: Chapter 308 Daoist Magic Formulas (Please Subscribe)_1
At night, a song is heard abruptly, and a beautiful woman is seen.
What does it feel like when the beautiful woman turns back to smile, but only half of her face is visible?
"Hey, demon, I could tell you’re not human with just one glance!"
"Coincidentally... neither am I!"
Fang Xi let out a strange laugh, and his complexion suddenly turned dark green and black as ink, his fingernails growing wildly.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed from a handsome man into a refining corpse!
The Externalization technique of the Primitive Devil Door is also based on the "Six Desires Sky Demon Corpse".
Since Fang Xi had employed this method, his body naturally possessed some of the characteristics and instincts of this type of demon corpse!
Such as—Soul Swallowing!
He opened his mouth to inhale, and a cloud of grey mist sprouted from his mouth, covering an area of several dozens of meters in an instant, encompassing the half-faced woman within it!
The woman’s expression didn’t change, but she kept retreating, as if trying to hide in the dense fog.
But Fang Xi wouldn’t let her escape, immediately letting out a cold laugh, "If it were the Core Formation evil creatures in the inner area of the forest that would be one thing, but for a mere Foundation Establishment level to act recklessly in my presence..."
When it comes to being eerie and ferocious, the "Six Desires Mixed Sky Demon" of the Primitive Devil Door never disappoints!
The next moment.
Fang Xi chanted a few strange incantations, and the grey mist surged, shattering the dense fog; with just a spread, it rolled the female ghost into it, and then he withdrew it back into himself.
In an instant, he had devoured this evil creature!
Even Fang Xi felt a surge of power in his physique, his magic power strengthening by a jump, and he nodded satisfactorily.
And ahead, the mist cleared to reveal a vast plain.
"After such a long delay, I’ve finally made it out... If I didn’t have the strength of Core Formation, I would have probably perished in this jungle by now, wouldn’t I? Is it just this place that’s special, a forbidden area in this realm, or is everywhere as dangerous as here?"
Fang Xi muttered to himself, stepping forward and riding the demon light, and in a flash, he was gone.
...
"I must catch the ’Blood Bewildered Snake’ and master the ’Skin Peeling Skills’!"
Yu Hua lay in the swamp, letting the mud cover him, the stench lingering persistently by his nose, yet he remained completely still.
Not far ahead, there was a small trap.
A wooden cage was open, inside of which a piece of fragrance material was burning, emitting a strange scent.
This trap appeared simple, but it was the limit of what the teenager could manage with all his belongings.
If he could catch that spiritual object, he would be able to "join the path," which would completely transform his life!
For that reason, Yu Hua could endure the stench of the swamp and the severe itching of his skin.
In this world, to survive, one must give up something.
Suddenly, there was movement in the grass nearby.
A small blood-red snake seemed to poke out its head before swiftly coiling back.
Seeing this, Yu Hua almost held his breath.
His eyes were fixed on the front as if two small hooks wanted to directly lure out the Blood Bewildered Snake, yet he contained himself with great effort.
After a few moments, the red snake crawled out of the grass again.
It was only as thick as an adult’s finger, its body covered in blood-red scales, with a purple-red tongue flicking in and out, seemingly enticed by the scent, slowly winding towards the outside of the cage.
’Go in...’
’Hurry up and go in!’
’Damn it!’
Yu Hua silently prayed in his heart since the snake was swift, and with a slight mistake, it could escape.
Moreover, this snake was highly vigilant; after falling for a trap once, it would almost never fall for the same one a second time!
But at that moment, there seemed to be a rumbling sound from the sky.
Frightened, the little snake quickly recoiled back.
Yu Hua cursed under his breath, lifted his head, and suddenly his mouth gaped.
He saw... a figure flying through the air!
The person was dressed in black, with handsome features, and every movement exuded the demeanor of someone important.
Seeing this, Yu Hua swallowed back any foul language he had and prepared to just accept his bad luck.
After all, someone capable of flight was likely a master of Taoist Foundation, truly not someone a mere mortal like him, who had not yet joined the path, could interject with.
The person could even kill him on a whim if they were in a bad mood!
However, to Yu Hua’s surprise, the figure didn’t leave but descended and stood before him!
’This is bad... I haven’t done anything, how could I have angered such a great man?’
Yu Hua inwardly lamented and could only get up and say, "This commoner greets the Taoist Master, may I know what guidance the Taoist Master has for me?"
Unfortunately, his words were completely unintelligible to Fang Xi!
With a sweep of his divine thought, Fang Xi noticed this native at first sight and descended.
Now, looking at the man, he suddenly revealed a slight smile and opened his hand wide.
"Ah!"
Yu Hua let out a scream, his entire body being lifted into the air, his head placed between Fang Xi’s palms.
Within Fang Xi’s eyes, one green and one yellow radiance alternated, flashing as they pierced into the young man’s Sea of Consciousness, startlingly employing the Soul Searching Skill!
After "catching up" with the curriculum of the Primitive Devil Door, Fang Xi’s level of Soul Searching had increased drastically.
And because the target’s spirit was exceedingly weak, unable to resist in the slightest, it actually allowed the side effects to be minimized.
As Yu Hua’s eyes rolled back in his head, Fang Xi initially learned the language and script of the indigenous people of this world... and then he understood this world even more deeply.
A vast array of images and experiences... condensed before him like a series of fast-forwarded movies.
With Fang Xi’s powerful Divine Consciousness, he could very smoothly extract the information he needed:
Mystical evils rampant, a chaotic world!
Spells, Skills, Magic Power, Taoism...
Prime Taoist, Taoist, Yushi...
And most importantly—the Taoist Palace!
"This realm... witnessing mystical evils rampant, a chaotic world... Thankfully a thousand years ago, the Yanmo Taoist Master descended to the world, passing down many Magic Spells, establishing the Taoist Palace... From then on, it entered the era of governance by the Taoist Palace..."
"A hundred years ago, the master of the Taoist Palace vanished mysteriously, the various Taoist Temples rose separately, chaos erupted... The suppressed mystical evils and demons also began to emerge... Now is the time of great chaos in the world!"
Fang Xi looked toward Yu Hua, sinking into thought.
To him, whether the world was in chaos or not was ultimately irrelevant; what mattered most was what he could obtain from this realm?
Would it be divine skills and secret arts, precious treasures, or something else?
"However... the Cultivation spiritual objects in this world are extremely scarce. This young man, for the sake of a small snake that couldn’t even be considered a Monster beast, almost lost his life..."
"The Cultivation system... is quite interesting too, the Skin Peeling Skills, huh?"
This "Skin Peeling Skill" was precisely the cultivation method Fang Xi acquired from Yu Hua’s memories, obtained by the boy through great expense and a bit of luck, a chance opportunity.
The process of cultivating this method was extremely painful, first requiring a person to fully peel off their own skin!
Of course, that was impossible, thus a Secret Medicine to suppress the sense of pain was needed, with the main ingredient being a "Blood Bewildered Snake".
This person had been lying in ambush for quite some time, all for this reason.
"After peeling the skin, it also requires various secret techniques combined with incantations to refine, and then one can transform their own skin into a sinister magical artifact, hence stepping onto the Taoist Path... Called ’entry into the Tao’, from then on one can refine Qi, known as a ’Prime Taoist’, which in reality is a Qi Refining Cultivator!"
"Focusing solely on one Magic Spell, breaking through realms from within the spell..."
"After becoming a ’Prime Taoist’, one goes to a Taoist Temple to acquire a corresponding ’Skill’, and upon mastering this Skill, one uses this Life-bound Skill to forge the Taoist Foundation, becoming a true ’Taoist’, that is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator... Why does it seem to have the flavor of Divine Skill Foundation Establishment?"
Fang Xi had heard in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm that there were "Law Cultivators" in ancient times, but they declined for unknown reasons.
Unexpectedly, there seem to be remnants of the practice in this realm?
"This kid’s knowledge stops here, after all, a Taoist Foundation cultivator, in his eyes, is already an incredible person."
"As for Divine Skills and Golden Core and such, he only heard of the title ’Master Yushi’..."
"In Taoism, obtain one Magic Spell, within Magic Spells, obtain one Skill, within Skills, obtain one Magic Spell... What exactly is the true ’Tao’?"
Fang Xi gazed at the fainted Yu Hua, transferring a stream of Magic Power directly over to him.
Not long after, Yu Hua groaned softly and came to, feeling a splitting headache.
Seeing Fang Xi, he was so frightened his face turned pale, "Taoist Master... spare my life, please!"
"Rest assured, I did not come to find you for your practice. I am merely apologetic for previously having disrupted your hunt with my uncontained aura..."
Fang Xi said with a slight smile.
"Oh, no, no..." Yu Hua quickly shook his hand, finding it very surprising in his heart.
The masters in the Taoist Temple were one and all ferocious and demonic, readily killing people; how could there be such a benevolent one?
But he was naturally cautious and responded with care.
This attitude made Fang Xi smile involuntarily, a streak of black aura rolled from the underbrush, bringing over a small red snake, "This creature... shall serve as compensation for you."
"What?"
Upon seeing the prey he had been longing for falling into his hands, Yu Hua was overwhelmed with joy, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Taoist Master... do you speak the truth?"
"Of course, it is true, haha..."
Fang Xi laughed heartily, conjuring a whirlwind and abruptly vanishing.
Yu Hua gazed at the fading figure of Fang Xi, muttering to himself, "Who would have expected... there to be such a person amongst Taoists..."
He quickly stored the Blood Bewildered Snake and, disregarding all else, hurried toward the city, finally entering a small town before dark.
"Hmph... if you’re this late again, don’t bother coming back."
The ones at the gate were not soldiers, but several brawny men dressed in Taoist robes, who, upon seeing Yu Hua, especially his dirty body covered in mud, dismissed him with a wave of their hands.
"Thank you, sirs..."
Even though it was clearly not time to close the gates, and it wasn’t his fault, Yu Hua still smiled broadly, entering the city and finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Outside the city walls at night, demons roamed, immensely dangerous!
And the existence of this city was all thanks to the Taoists of ’Skinless View’!
If not for these Taoists who routinely dealt with nearby demons and oddities, the whole area around the city might have been devoid of living people.
With ’Skinless View’ overseeing this place, the occurrences of demonic events within the city were rarest, let alone the Taoists who could ascend to the heavens, delve into the earth, control water and throw fire, refine elixirs and draw talismans...
Now, the people in the entire city were all yearning to step onto the Taoist Path, and then through the selection of ’Skinless View’, become the lowest ranked Taoist Child!
