Chapter 120: Traces of Taoism
Late at night, darkness enveloped the sky and the earth.

There was only a little light under the starlight and the moonlight. At this time, Mengzao City had become quiet and there were only a few people on the streets.

Huhu~
The cold wind blew, bringing a cool breeze to the earth.

As the temperature approaches the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, it has gradually dropped. It is not even noon yet, but there is already a fine layer of white frost on the bluestones on the roadside.

Whizzing!

Three figures were walking along the roadside.

He seemed to pay no attention to the curfew or the searches by the city guards, and just moved slowly on the quiet streets.

"Is everything ready?"

Xu Yuan felt the chill in the wind, and at a certain moment, he sighed softly.

“Brother, you should prepare your flying sword and golden elixir. This person’s martial arts skills are not low. He was able to kill Liang Sishui and Tu Guang Mo Xiedao. He is likely a martial arts master at the bone training or even organ training level. Naturally, you should be prepared!”

A man dressed like a Taoist priest in blue said.

Taoist magic is different from martial artists who use their own bodies and blood to fight. Instead, it fights through the cultivation of the soul and drives the energy between external objects and heaven and earth.

But the Yang energy in the blood subtly restrains the power of the soul.

Therefore, if they want to fight against this unknown martial arts master, they must prepare in advance and set up many powerful conditions before they can confront him.

"That's good."

Xu Yuan nodded slightly and felt relieved.

The flying sword is the orthodox one among the Taoist practitioners, while the golden elixir is made of many materials such as gunpowder, mercury, lead pump, etc. It can support the manifestation of the soul, display strength, and perform more powerful magical powers and Taoist magic.

It is much easier to deal with warriors.

The three of them paced, not paying attention to the sound of the wind. They just walked and talked occasionally. The strange thing was that night watchmen passed by from time to time.

Occasionally, city guards passed by, but they didn't pay any attention to the two people walking so arrogantly.

It was as if the two of them didn't exist.

"Ok?"

One of the city guards who was walking away paused, as if he felt a cold wind blowing past him, and then shook his head, thinking it was just an illusion.

"They are just mortals, why do we have to be concerned about them!"

Seeing the city guards moving away, the Taoist priest in white clothes said indignantly:
"We practice Taoism, and if we have the chance in the future, we can achieve immortality. But now we have to rely on the imperial court and be controlled by ordinary people?"

Starting from entering the city.

They have been restraining their energy and using their spiritual power to continuously operate, interfering with ordinary people nearby to prevent their tracks from being discovered.

The Taoist in white was naturally unhappy because of this aggrieved feeling.

"This is not a sect!"

The blue-robed Taoist priest who seemed a little dull said:

“Although martial arts can restrain us, it is hard to say who will live and who will die if a real fight breaks out. However, the imperial court often sends a large army to the border, gathering the power of the people, and we cannot possibly compete with them.

Even those ancient immortals would avoid the sharp edge."

The Taoist priest in blue said with a complicated expression:
“The practice of Taoism is actually more difficult than martial arts. It is not just about tempering one’s qi and blood, but also a test of one’s soul.

Every time I practice and make a breakthrough, it is the result of countless times of almost getting lost. "

“If it weren’t for the benefit of the sect, I would never waste my time fighting with this kind of warrior. If my soul is damaged, I don’t know how long it will take to repair it.

If your mind begins to decline and you cannot become a ghost immortal, then everything will be empty talk."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan and the Taoist priest in white both changed their expressions.

Just like practicing martial arts.

In the art of martial arts, if you injure your body, it is possible that your foundation will be damaged and you will not be able to make any further progress.

As for Taoist practice, although the power of the soul comes from the mind, if it is damaged, the severity is no less than physical injury.

They are all in the realm of manifestation, and Xu Yuan is even better, almost reaching the realm of possession. They are all people in the sect who have the potential to break through to the ghost fairy realm.

If we suffer any damage due to this operation, it would be a huge loss!

"We have flying swords in our hands, and our golden cores are all ready. We can use our sect's Taoist magic, and if we attack together, we won't necessarily get hurt, right?"

Sun Qi brushed his white Taoist robe, looking a little unnatural.

"It's better to be careful. After all, a warrior who can kill hundreds of bandits in a mountain, let's not talk about his strength for now, but his evil spirit must be extremely strong. We have to properly neutralize it later!"

Pang Chao sighed lightly and did not make any further excuses.

Practicing in a sect certainly has many advantages, such as being protected by others and having access to a large amount of resources, but one also has to fight for the sect's honor and reputation.

There is gain in gain.

If he doesn't go this time, his reputation will be ruined.

"Well, we'll make a quick fight later. It's almost impossible for the three of us to defeat a warrior who might be at the Bone Training Realm."

Xu Yuan stopped talking.

The three of them looked in the direction of the trend, and with their spiritual power slightly extended, they saw a house a few dozen feet away, which was not very big and even had a strong smell of medicine.

"That's it!"

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, and the three of them looked at each other, found a safe corner, sat cross-legged on the spot, a golden pill slipped out of his sleeve, and he pinched it with his five fingers.

Then, the soul left the body!

Huhu~
Several gusts of cold wind suddenly arose.

The slight breeze that was stirred up rolled up the golden elixirs in the hands of the three people, and streams of lead pumping air slowly came out and transformed into three human figures.

"This feeling is still good. I will kill him with my magical power later!"

Sun Qi said with a grim smile, and a flying sword about three palms long surrounded him. The whole body was shining with metallic luster. As it floated, it cut through the airflow and made a buzzing sound. Pang Chao also nodded, and the flying swords surrounded him.

For those who practice Taoism, learning how to control external objects is a necessary course, and among them, flying swords are the favorite and favourite objects of most practitioners.

A flying sword, although a bit expensive.

However, it is easy to carry, has considerable power, is easy to control with the mind, and has a pleasing appearance, so it has naturally become a near-necessity for those who practice Taoism.

"Do it!"

Xu Yuan and the other two each headed towards the house.

His soul passed through the courtyard wall, and Xu Yuan looked into the courtyard. The corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch slightly.

At this moment, late at night.

There are people practicing martial arts in that small courtyard?
Under the deep moonlight, a Taoist priest in black was punching. Every punch seemed to be thrown with all his strength, but no sound came out.

"The black Taoist robe, it looks like it's him."

Sun Qi glanced around, observed for a moment, and sneered:

“I thought he was great at martial arts, but it turns out he didn’t even have the strength to punch.

Isn’t it said that warriors all have the ability to ‘buy a sound with a thousand gold coins’? I don’t think this person’s martial arts skills are that good.”

Halfway through his words, Sun Qi was suddenly startled.

If his martial arts skills were really weak, then who killed the bandits on Moye Road?
A chill suddenly came over me.

"No, I was discovered!"

Xu Yuan suddenly frowned and then transmitted the message.

"Interesting, the power of the mind."

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed Taoist who was practicing boxing in the courtyard slowly stopped his punches and feet, and his eyes turned and fell on the three people:

"It seems that this is the power of Taoism?"

As the medicine enters the stomach, heat surges.

Zhou Yan sat cross-legged on the grass, feeling the medicinal power being continuously absorbed by his body and then transformed into qi and blood, circulating in his body.

call,
suck~
Zhou Yan's breathing sounded very strange.

Every breath can cause the muscles and bones inside the body to vibrate, and then slowly adjust the rhythm of life.

It makes Qi and blood flow more smoothly between the meridians.

"The realm of tendon training is finally about to be completed."

Looking inward, Zhou Yan saw a huge network of meridians penetrating into every inch of his body. He felt the huge amount of Qi and blood flowing through it, and his own body was getting stronger and growing all the time.

Now, it has reached perfection.

With a thought in his mind, Zhou Yan stopped expressing his feelings and started his next step of practice according to his understanding of the realm of martial arts and the practice method he had acquired in the Moyedao stronghold.

The drug's effect became more and more powerful.

Zhou Yan seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing in his body.

He stood up slowly, stretched his muscles slightly, and completed all the warm-up exercises, then started practicing boxing.

One push, one pull.

Slowly and gradually, neither hurried nor slow, neither arrogant nor impatient, as the fists and feet move, the muscles and bones are tempered with the greatest efficiency.

"Muscles and tendons, the next step is to train the skin, which means filling your qi and blood to the extreme, and then start to feed back to your body and strengthen your physique."

"In this way, the body's all-round abilities can be improved, and the ability to perceive and utilize Qi and blood will be further enhanced."

Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Yan's mind.

As fists and feet were pushed forward, the boxing techniques began to change, and the moves became more profound.

The force that each strike could generate became stronger, but the noises around him became lower and lower, and even disappeared into thin air after a moment.

Make light what is heavy and heavy what is light.

Zhou Yan’s understanding of Tao at his level.

Even in my current state, I can still easily train myself in the most extreme and efficient way.

The qi and blood surge like water dripping through a stone.

As Zhou Yan's power grew stronger, the strength of his muscles and bones became stronger, and his use of qi and blood became more powerful.

Gradually, the effect of the medicine began to wane.

What came instead was abundant Qi and blood circulating back through his meridians, rapidly growing Zhou Yan's body.

"Sure enough, Qi and blood play a big role in the growth of the body."

Zhou Yan could feel a layer of membrane gradually growing beneath his skin.

A quick observation of its structure will reveal that this membrane is of great help to the body's defense capabilities and strength.

The leather training level has been reached.

Feeling the transformation of his body, Zhou Yan's heart was calm. Just as he pushed his fists and feet to feel the changes in his qi and blood, his mind moved slightly.

"Huh? That is?"

Zhou Yan's eyes turned slightly, and he felt a kind of spiritual power that was very similar to mental power.

Then he stopped punching and kicking and tilted his head slightly.

As his eyes dropped, he glanced at the three people who had come in without any physical form, and finally became somewhat interested:

"Interesting, is this the power of Taoism?"
