Chapter 38 Getting what you want

Gu Qingyuan felt a little awkward for a moment, but also a little greedy.

What is coveted is the calamity energy and the inner demon. Although the cultivation methods in this world are magical, this calamity energy is the foundation of this world. If one can comprehend and understand it, and turn it into a magical power, it can also intimidate other practitioners.

Seeing this excellent sample here, Gu Qingyuan naturally tried his best.

As soon as the spiritual consciousness came into contact with the calamity energy, unlike the flesh palm that passed through the body, the calamity energy was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, climbing up along the spiritual consciousness.

For a moment, Gu Qingyuan felt as if he had drunk some muddy wine, his head was dizzy, and he also felt as if he had eaten some mushrooms, with strange sights before his eyes.

He was so frightened that he quickly cut off that trace of consciousness, felt a pain in his head, and came to his senses.

This calamity is extraordinary.

Gu Qingyuan thought to himself, but did not give up. He recited "The Purpose of the Qi of the Sensing Talisman" in his mind. This Qi is the fundamental method of controlling the Qi of heaven and earth. It was Gu Qingyuan's sudden enlightenment from the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. Its status is not inferior to that of Calamity Qi, so it may be useful.

With magic power flowing and green light floating on his hands, Gu Qingyuan used the "Hefeng Juqi Ban" in his Qi Order, which was a ban to restrain the Qi and capture the Qi.

Sure enough, when the restriction came out, the calamity energy avoided it vaguely. As soon as the finger touched it, the green light and the calamity energy melted away, and there was a faint hissing sound. Unfortunately, the force was not enough, and the restriction was broken at the touch of a button. The gray energy struggled for a moment and broke the restriction.

There was no sign of loss on Gu Qingyuan's face. He activated a page of golden book in his consciousness. On the page, golden patterns flashed like floating clouds. Golden threads followed the meridians and entangled into the magic power. The green magic power revealed golden lines. With a pinch of his hands, the calamity energy was grasped in his hands, like a gray snake that had lost its bones, and it became limp and motionless.

I don't know what this golden book is, but it can even subdue the calamity. If one day comes, I will definitely refine and disassemble it, trace its origin, and find out the details.

Gu Qingyuan's hands did not stop, gathering the calamity energy, but he was thinking in his heart.

It is impossible to leave this page of the golden book list alone. I don't know how much of the things I picked up were mixed with other people's tricks. It was because Gu Qingyuan was too weak to handle it, otherwise he would not have left this time bomb in his consciousness.

almost.

Gu Qingyuan gathered most of the calamity energy, used a forbidden technique to seal it, protected his consciousness with golden patterns, and explored slowly.

Then, everything went dark before his eyes, and his consciousness came to a dark space where black air was brewing. The human form formed by Zhang Jingwen's consciousness was trapped there.

Looking more closely, there are countless scenes interspersed in it, and the protagonist is all Zhang Jingwen, with a red robe newlywed, with guests and friends sitting all over the house, with a spiritual vein to open the purple palace, and many immortals coming to congratulate him, with a high position and power, and countless henchmen, and also Zhang Yaxiu ascended to heaven and enjoyed the company of his father.

Various meanings and scenes are intertwined, one layer after another, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the false.

It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream!

Gu Qingyuan sighed secretly, seeing Zhang Jingwen sometimes lucid and sometimes drowsy.

As his consciousness sank, black air emerged from him and condensed into a ball of black mist. The black mist rolled and seemed to be turning into a human form.

This is probably an unformed inner demon. Fortunately, I came here early, otherwise it would be more troublesome.

If we wait for this inner demon to take shape, find the flaws in Zhang Jingwen's state of mind, and take over his body, it will be too late. Not only will our cultivation be wasted, but when it wakes up again it will be the inner demon with Zhang Jingwen's memories.

Looking at the black mist, Gu Qingyuan no longer hesitated. He used his consciousness to activate the golden pattern, which turned into a golden knife. He slashed at the black ball fiercely, cutting off about one-third of it, and ran away with it.

what--

Silent waves spread out, the black mist ball seemed to be screaming, the whole space was shaking, and the scene inside was interrupted for a moment.

A trace of clarity flashed across Zhang Jingwen's consciousness, and the immortal's spiritual sense started to operate. With this wave, he cut off one of his arms, destroyed his own consciousness, and escaped with a fierce force.

On the other side, Gu Qingyuan had just collected the fragments of his inner demon when he saw Zhang Jingwen spit out a mouthful of blood and gradually wake up.

"Ahem, Brother Gu, I didn't expect to see you again." As soon as Zhang Jingwen opened his eyes, he roughly understood the situation and was afraid that he was in trouble.

"Brother, you are a lucky person. You can see your true nature and break through the calamity. It is natural." Gu Qingyuan said. This inner demon calamity is difficult to overcome, and there is no benefit in overcoming it, otherwise it would not be called a calamity, but once you overcome it, your mind and character will often become more resilient, which is beneficial to your future practice.

"It's a bit strange. Once my inner demon emerged, my consciousness sank without me knowing it. Halfway through the journey, I suddenly heard a hoarse roar and gained a moment of clarity. I used this moment of clarity to cut off the spiritual consciousness and luckily stayed awake and escaped." Zhang Jingwen said with some doubts, staring at Gu Qingyuan with empty eyes.

"Maybe it's because brother has accumulated virtue and done good deeds, and he has a self-controlled character." Gu Qingyuan seemed unaware and looked calm.

Zhang Jingwen nodded slowly, and touched his mustache again: "I have practiced for hundreds of years, so this is what I deserve."

But he added: "Today I was able to escape from the siege, thanks to the support of my brother Gu. It just so happens that I have a few treasures that I don't need, so please don't refuse."

Neither of them investigated further or asked in detail, and they just regarded the matter as over.

------------

"Laowu, are you sure it's that guy?" Li Tang asked Song Fangwu beside him.

"It's absolutely true. It's the boy in the portrait you gave me last time. He is outside the city. I saw him at a glance." Song Fangwu nodded.

Li Tang paced back and forth: "This kid must have some wealth. Last time, I proposed to kill him with that Grand Master Zhang, but he brushed me off, saying that he had a bodyguard by his side. He was clearly bluffing me. I didn't expect to meet him again in Yangxi City."

This person was the one who talked with Zhang Jingwen during the transaction that day.

"Brother, is there really money to be made? Our business has not been open for several days." Song Fangwu said.

"Yes, there should be, but I estimate not many. His attire doesn't seem like that of a disciple of a big sect. He is probably a wild cultivator from a remote corner. But that day, old man Zhang Jingwen handed over three spiritual objects, which are enough for us to make a fortune." Li Tang recalled.

"Could it have been refined?"

"Idiot, how much effort did you spend on refining a spiritual object? If there is no result after ten days or half a month, the spiritual object must still be on you." Li Tang slapped Song Fangwu's head and cursed.

Poor Gu Qingyuan, he finally revealed his identity. Unlike the spiritual object used for Qi refining, the spiritual object used for foundation building did not require superior skills and methods. It could only be refined through hard work, which could take a year or two. Otherwise, Zhang Jingwen would not have been willing to make friends with him after seeing him achieve the foundation of immortality.

"Then should I go and call for help?" Song Fangwu asked.

"Call all the people." Li Tang saw Song Fangwu was about to leave, so he stopped him, "Wait, tell the brothers to prepare everything, don't save on things that shouldn't be saved, bring the magic arrays and talismans along. Zhang Jingwen must have some strength to hold that kid so tightly, don't let anything go wrong."

"I will make sure to entrust him with this." Song Fangwu also had a solemn look on his face. This was a business with no capital required, with high risks and high returns. If there were people who were sneaky and neglected their duties, and Li Tang took action, his brothers would have already taken action to deal with them.

At this time, Gu Qingyuan was returning to Yangxi City. He had said goodbye to Zhang Jingwen a month ago and found a cave to study the samples of inner demons and calamity energy. Now he had some clues and was very excited. He decided not to fly away and just walked away to calm down.

His magical powers are restrained and his divine aura is gone, making him look like an ordinary human being.

Whoosh whoosh—

The clothes made a rustling sound and five big men jumped out in a flash. It was broad daylight, but they were dressed for night use and had their faces covered with black cloth.

As soon as they appeared, without any trash talk, they took their positions, threw out the formation flags, and could no longer hold back on their most powerful moves. They divided the work and cooperated with each other, some spreading poison powder, some offering weapons, and some pinching divine light. For a moment, the offensive was like a dragnet, with locusts flying all over the sky, blocking Gu Qingyuan from all three routes: upper, middle, and lower. One could only sigh that their professionalism was extremely high.

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly, thinking to himself, he has indeed come, it is just right for me to use my magical powers.

He also had no habit of trash talking during the battle. Black gas filled his hands and transformed them into a black snake, which instantly passed through the five big men.

The five men seemed to have seen something horrifying. They screamed in agony, lost their composure, and died in the blink of an eye.

Five balls of black air surrounded the corpse, and a faint chewing sound was heard. After a moment, the corpse disappeared, and five balls of human-shaped black air floated out from the open space, returned to Gu Qingyuan, and disappeared into the shadow under his feet.

When the task was completed, Gu Qingyuan said softly, "The incarnation of the Heavenly Demon has been completed."
