Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 193: Strange Occurrences in Yunqi Valley

In order to cultivate peacefully in Yunqi Valley, Li An took out the Black Poison Dagger and placed it in the Sha Meridian to nurture it.

After all, although he had a reason to come to Yunqi Valley now, the reason was still not strong enough.

Just because She Anqi saved him, just because he was loyal to Xiaoli, does that mean he can take risks?

No pain, no gain. Does this make him seem noble?

So, by nurturing the poisonous sword here, when Lady She asks, he can also answer and deceive others.

The main point is not to let others know that he can cultivate using the Sha Meridian.

This is related to demonic cultivation and can be considered the second most important secret after the Life-Nurturing Immortal Technique.

The veins in Yunqi Valley are intertwined, and the spiritual and demonic energy is rich. Over time, Li An's cultivation level has been improving.

The Azure Flame Divine Sparrow goes out every day and brings back one or two demonic beasts for Li An to cultivate his demonic techniques and enhance his poison power.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

Li An looked inwardly at his dantian, where the Yin Qi was faintly present, like a thin mist.

The speed of cultivation in Yunqi Valley is very fast. If he can stay here for one or two hundred years, Li An believes that he will be able to successfully condense the Purple Mansion!

This is extremely astonishing.

It should be noted that even with sufficient spiritual medicines as supplements, ordinary True Dan cultivators would still need at least several decades to condense the Purple Mansion.

But how many people have sufficient spiritual medicines? For the scattered cultivators in the Tiansha Mountain Range, it may be difficult for them to achieve the Purple Mansion in their lifetime and reach the threshold of Nascent Soul.

Usually, it is extremely difficult to obtain a spiritual medicine containing Yin Qi. Fighting and killing are common occurrences. Therefore, when the demon army brought a large number of exchangeable spiritual medicines, it attracted so many human cultivators.

Li An only needs to steadily make progress, and he has the hope of achieving the Purple Mansion in one or two hundred years. If others were to find out, they would be envious to the point of having red eyes.

In addition, as the number of demonic beasts in the valley decreases, Li An's poison power has reached a new level.

Under the strengthening of the Life-Seeding Technique and the accumulation of a large amount of toxins, even if a late-stage Gold Core expert were to come, they would most likely not be able to withstand his attack!

Detoxification pills are useless.

At the same time, his demonic techniques have become more refined, with surging demonic energy. With a thought, the Indestructible Demon Armor covers his whole body, and even third-grade magical treasures can no longer shake him.

"Besides the Indestructible Demon Armor, I can also cultivate other demonic killing techniques..."

Entering the Gold Core stage, Li An's previous cultivation techniques are no longer sufficient!

The strongest San Yuan Slash now seems ordinary.

He pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an answer: "Burning Yuan Demon Flame!"

Burning Yuan Demon Flame requires a large amount of demonic energy as a foundation, burning one's own life essence fire. Once cultivated, its power is immense, making it an extremely powerful offensive technique. When the demon flame appears, both form and soul are destroyed.

If it were to be classified according to levels, this kind of demonic flame technique could probably reach the legendary Heaven Grade.

Once cultivated, it would definitely be a trump card.

With the endless supply of demonic energy in this place, it is a great opportunity for him to accumulate demonic energy for cultivation.

However, the Burning Yuan Demon Flame cannot be rushed. The cultivation time will be very long. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Moreover, this kind of thing has a strong demonic attribute. Once used, it will inevitably expose oneself.

He needs to find some conventional means of self-defense.

"Besides demonic cultivation techniques, do you know any other offensive techniques?"

He went straight to Shangguan Xiaoxiao!

With such a treasure mine, not using it would be a waste.

"There are many. The Sword Control Immortal Technique of the Xianjian Sect, the Six-Syllable Mantra of the Fanzong Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Scripture of the Dragon Clan... All the famous techniques in the world, my demonic sect has them all!"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao listed them one by one, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

Li An couldn't help but feel a little excited, "There are so many... They all sound extraordinary. Can you teach me?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao coldly replied, "You are not worthy."

Li An: "..."

"Although you have a natural demonic body, you have the worst talent I have ever seen for a natural demonic body. Your comprehension is extremely low. These techniques are prepared for geniuses, and you can't even understand them if I teach you."

Li An: "......"

"Forget it, for the sake of Tang Dou, I'll teach you a set of moves that even a fool can learn, the Four Deadly Techniques. This set of freehand techniques was created by a master of our demonic sect, who has studied all the techniques in the world..."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao proceeded to explain the Four Deadly Techniques to Li An one by one, much to Li An's delight. This time, she didn't keep any secrets and taught him everything she knew.

Obviously, after their previous experience, she had started to view Li An differently.

Before, perhaps in her eyes, Li An was just a true waste, and the only thing of value was his body, as she planned to take it over.

But now, she was willing to give Li An a chance to see if he was truly talented.

Having learned the Four Deadly Techniques, Li An was deeply shaken.

This set of freehand techniques... was absolutely extraordinary.

There were a total of four techniques: One-Fingered Flower Plucking, Surging Wave Palm, Thunderous Fist, and Wave-Treading Kick!

The names were all very simple, and so were the techniques. One-Fingered Flower Plucking had only one move, Surging Wave Palm had only one palm strike...

But they contained countless essences within them. For example, One-Fingered Flower Plucking could be considered the essence of countless finger techniques in the world.

"Thank you!" Li An said solemnly.

This was exactly what he needed.

These four techniques encompassed the best of the world, which meant that once Li An mastered them, he could attack freely without others being able to discern his origins.

And they were extremely powerful.

The first one he would cultivate was One-Fingered Flower Plucking—

He didn't have a foundation in palm techniques, leg techniques, or fist techniques, but in finger techniques, he could use the Cold Yin Finger as a foundation. After transforming One-Fingered Flower Plucking into Poisonous Flower Plucking, there might be even more surprises.

Immediately, he began his arduous cultivation.

...

Late at night, on this day.

Li An was cultivating, but the Divine Bird was restless, causing Li An to wake up suddenly.

"Something's not right..."

He sensed that the earth's veins seemed to be changing strangely, with fluctuating malevolent and spiritual energies.

When he went outside, he saw a full moon hanging high in the sky, and countless moonlight seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, converging towards a certain place in Cloud Perching Valley.

Li An was surprised and immediately took the Azure Flame Divine Sparrow, rushing over.

It was a small pond that was usually very ordinary and unremarkable.

But at this moment, the pond had turned into a vortex, and within it, there seemed to be a mysterious passage.

Within the vortex, an extremely astonishing spiritual and malevolent energy pervaded.

Cloud Perching Valley was already very dense, but the vortex was even more intense.

"A spatial secret realm."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao's voice sounded, "This secret realm should only open on nights with a full moon, and it has existed for a long time. Its power is insufficient, so it only causes minor disturbances."

"The source of the malevolent energy in the Tian Sha Mountain Range seems to be within it. We can go in and take a look..."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately added, "Oh, forget it, you're just Li Gou, you can stay outside and 'gou' around."

Her sarcasm was undisguised.

Li An stared at the vortex and asked, "Does the existence of a leftover spatial secret realm mean that its owner has already died?"

Otherwise, the secret realm wouldn't continue to decline.

"They're dead, they're dead. This kind of malevolent energy only appears after a master dies. Do you understand?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was impatient.

Li An hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and jumped in—

...
