, Three Techniques

thump!

The headless Taoist priest in blue robes lay on the gravel ground, blood splattered everywhere. The Soul-Burning Banner that had been hovering above him fell, and the ghostly aura surrounding him dissipated. (New 66 Bookstore →)

Staring at the corpse of the Taoist priest in green, Zhou Xue trembled all over. She turned to look at the sword floating in front of Fang Wang and couldn't help but ask, "You... what was that just now...?"

Fang Wang supported him with his left hand, while maintaining the sword-controlling posture with his right. His expression was calm as he said, "As you can see, this is the sword-controlling technique you taught me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Fang family nearby erupted in a huge cheer.

"The sorcerer is dead!"

"What was that just now? That sword was flying!"

"Even the strongest swordsman in the martial world couldn't unleash such swordsmanship!"

"Young Master Fang Wang is incredibly powerful!"

The Fang family members were extremely excited. The Taoist in green was so powerful that if they killed him, then the other assassins would be no threat.

Some people also worry that the Taoist in green robes might have come back to life, since he is a demonic Taoist and cannot be judged by common sense.

Upon hearing Fang Wang's words, Zhou Xue's expression changed drastically. Overcome with emotion, she coughed up blood, which startled Fang Wang, who immediately stopped his stance and supported her.

Clang!

The sword fell to the ground, its blade still stained with the blood of the Taoist priest in green, a chilling sight.

"I'm fine... I won't die... I just used a secret technique to give this body some fighting ability for a short time. Although I was seriously injured, I will recover within a month..."

Zhou Xue looked up and said, her face was deathly pale, but her eyes were full of spirit, as if she wanted to devour Fang Wang.

Fang Wang was frightened by her gaze, after all, this guy claimed to have been a demonic cultivator before his rebirth...

"Fang Wang, have you really never been exposed to the path of cultivation before?" Zhou Xue stared at Fang Wang, took a deep breath, and asked seriously.

Fang Wang hesitated for a moment, but decided to believe her. He replied, "Indeed, there is no such thing. But when you mentioned the sword control technique, I could sense that it wasn't made up and that it was indeed feasible. So I practiced it for seven days and used my true qi to perform the sword control technique. You should be able to feel it."

He also wanted to rely on Zhou Xue to embark on the path of cultivation, so there was no need for him to play dumb to deceive others. He needed to demonstrate his own value in order to gain more respect from others.

"How could true qi possibly be used to control a sword? Besides, your sword isn't even a magical weapon; you can't control it remotely..."

"I don't know either, but it worked."

Fang Wang shook his head, secretly pleased with himself.

You think this is just ordinary sword control?

Excuse me, this is the Great Perfection of Sword Control Technique!

Even cultivators at a high level might not spend time studying sword control techniques.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xue became even more excited, her chest heaving. She endured the excruciating pain in her body and said in a deep voice, "Fang Wang, you are absolutely a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy! Your natal magic weapon must be the Earthly Elemental Treasure Spirit! Once I recover, come with me to cultivate immortality!"

With the Taoist in green robes killed, the calamity of the massacre of the entire clan was over, so Zhou Xue immediately started talking about the future.

coming!

Fang Wang had been waiting for her to say that, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you wait here first. I'll go kill the rest of them, and then I'll tell you what the Earthly Elemental Treasure Spirit is."

Zhou Xue nodded.

Fang Wang immediately waved for his clansmen to come and take care of Zhou Xue, while he drew his sword and left.

Fang Zhe arrived with his clansmen and servants. He asked two women to take care of Zhou Xue, while he carefully approached the corpse of the Taoist in green.

"Don't come near him, he's possessed by a ghost. Let Fang Wang and me handle him!"

Zhou Xue called out to Fang Zhe, who hesitated upon hearing this. But when he thought of the terrifying scene of the Soul-Burning Banner, he shuddered and quickly told the others to step back and not to get close.

Using the sword control technique consumed seventy percent of Fang Wang's true energy, but he didn't need any true energy to kill the remaining men in black.

One hour later.

The Fang residence has returned to complete tranquility, but the atmosphere remains heavy, as the death toll has exceeded a thousand tonight.

Main courtyard, main hall.

Fang Wang stood beside his father, Fang Yin, surrounded by clansmen, all of whom had grim expressions and were staring at Fang Meng.

Fang Meng, leaning on his cane, took a deep breath and said, "What happened tonight cannot be kept secret. It must be spread. We will hold a funeral tomorrow, and the bigger the commotion, the better. We need to let the whole world know about the Fang family's tragedy so that no one will dare to continue to harm us."

Fang Wang's third uncle, Fang Jin, couldn't help but say, "Father, the ability to mobilize so many experts must be related to the imperial palace. We are a Duke's mansion, yet we surrendered our military power and ended up like this..."

"shut up!"

Fang Meng roared, startling Fang Jin into silence, but his face was still filled with hatred and resentment.

It wasn't just the servants who died tonight; Fang Wang's two cousins ​​also perished.

Fang Meng said in a deep voice, "Remember, we are in the Great Qi, and we cannot recklessly fight against Heaven."

Inside the hall, most people shared the same expression and emotions as Fang Jin. If Fang Wang hadn't intervened tonight, the Fang family might have been wiped out. They were filled with lingering fear whenever they thought about it.

"Everyone, you can leave now. Wang'er, you stay."

Fang Meng continued, and as soon as he said this, everyone looked at Fang Wang. Every look in his eyes was filled with gratitude, admiration, and disbelief.

Tonight, Fang Wang killed sixty-three assassins, including that sorcerer. News of his feat has already spread throughout the Fang family, but the family is currently immersed in grief and it is not appropriate to ask him why he was so powerful.

Everyone bowed and left. Before leaving, Fang Wang's uncles patted him on the shoulder one by one and praised him with their eyes.

Once only Fang Meng and the old lady remained in the hall, Fang Wang stepped forward and bowed to his grandparents.

"Where did you learn your immortal techniques?" Fang Meng asked, a kind and gentle smile on his face.

Fang Wang replied, "Grandpa, it was Zhou Xue who taught me. She has a senior cultivator guiding her. I heard her say that the Fang family was in danger of being wiped out, so I went to her. She taught me the sword control technique, which made me believe her."

Now that the image of a genius has been established, let's solidify it; it will make explanations easier!

Fang Meng was stunned for a moment, gripping his cane tightly. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "She said the Fang family was in danger of being wiped out, and it's only been seven days. Did you know about this beforehand, or did you only practice for seven days?"

Fang Wang feigned hesitation and replied, "I practiced for seven days."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Fang Meng was so excited that he trembled all over and even wanted to stand up and hug Fang Wang. Fang Wang quickly walked up to him and grabbed his hand.

"The Fang family has a worthy successor! Our Fang family can break free from this deadly situation!"

Fang Meng burst into tears of joy, and Fang Wang panicked, as this was the first time he had ever seen his grandfather cry.

Then, Fang Meng began to recount his past.

As a founding hero of the Great Qi Dynasty, Fang Meng naturally knew more than the people of Great Qi, including the cultivation world. However, for Fang Meng, cultivators were still an ethereal existence. He did not know much about cultivators, only that they existed.

He urged Fang Wang to diligently cultivate immortality.

He even wanted to marry Zhou Xue to Fang Wang, so that Fang Wang's path to immortality would be more secure, but Fang Wang politely declined.

What a joke! Zhou Xue is a reborn person, and a demonic cultivator at that. Such a woman would never prioritize love. If she were to sever her emotional ties for the sake of immortality, wouldn't that be troublesome?

Moreover, if Fang Wang were to live another life, he would not want to spend his life with anyone; he only wanted unrestrained freedom and carefree living.

Before he came into contact with cultivators, he was already prepared to wander the world!

Now that he has encountered the path of cultivation, his resolve has only grown stronger. In this life, he will travel across mountains and rivers, witness the splendor of the world, and seek the way to achieve immortality. He will never stop for anyone.

That night, the grandfather and grandson talked for a long time.

……

The following day at noon, the Fang family was in grief, while Nanqiu City was in turmoil. The Fang family had been attacked and so many people had died. Naturally, the people under the protection of the Fang family were afraid, and many busybodies were also talking about it.

Fang Wang went out to visit Zhou Xue.

The two maids guarding the door immediately bowed when they saw him. One of them said, "Young master, the young lady instructed that if you have arrived, you may come in directly."

Last night, Fang Wang and Zhou Xue fought against the demon and saved the Fang family. The news has spread throughout the Fang family. The relationship between the two has also changed in the eyes of the Fang family. Last night, the two maids even heard that the Fourth Prince wanted to arrange a marriage between the two.

Fang Wang nodded, then pushed open the door and entered. After closing the door, he sat down by Zhou Xue's bedside.

At this moment, Zhou Xue was lying in the quilt, her face pale, and her body was wrapped in white cloth in many places. She looked very badly injured. When she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at Fang Wang.

Fang Wang didn't greet her, after all, she was a reborn person, not a real sixteen-year-old girl.

"Could you bring the Fang family's disciples along on the path to immortality? We have offended the imperial power. No matter how much noise we make, it will eventually be forgotten, and then the killing intent will return." Fang Wang asked, which was also Fang Meng's expectation.

Zhou Xue withdrew her gaze, slowly closed her eyes, and said softly, "The threshold for cultivating immortality is extremely high. Not just anyone can cultivate it. However, I do have such an idea. This month, I will select disciples with potential to follow us on our cultivation journey."

Fang Wang asked curiously, "Where are we going? Could you tell me about the path of cultivation, such as the Earthly Treasure Spirit you mentioned last night?"

"There are nine major sects in the cultivation world of Daqi. They are hidden deep in the mountains and wonderlands. We are going to Taiyuan Sect. Taiyuan Sect ranks among the top five of the nine major sects. It has a strong foundation. I have a way to bring you into the sect."

Zhou Xue gave a detailed introduction to the Taiyuan Sect, which aroused Fang Wang's great anticipation for this cultivation sect.

Having entered the Taiyuan Sect, he must find a way to cultivate the most profound techniques and spells. With the Heavenly Palace in his mind, he will surely be able to leave behind his fellow cultivators.

As for Zhou Xue, this reborn person, he should try his best to keep up with her pace of becoming stronger, and it would be even better if he could surpass her!

"As for the Earthly Treasure Spirit, we must first talk about the realms of cultivation. Above Qi Nourishment is the Spirit Shaping Realm. Only by shaping one's own natal Treasure Spirit can one step into the Spirit Shaping Realm. The Treasure Spirit is hidden in the cultivator's body. The grade of the Treasure Spirit often determines the cultivator's aptitude. The Treasure Spirits are ranked from low to high as Yellow Origin, Profound Origin, Earthly Origin, and Heavenly Origin. Each grade is further subdivided, which I will tell you about later."

As Zhou Xue spoke, she opened her eyes and looked at Fang Wang, her eyes filled with anticipation.

My natal spirit...

Fang Wang began to imagine what rank his spirit treasure would reach.

After chatting for a while, Fang Wang made his request at the right time, saying, "By the way, could you teach me a cultivation technique so that I can cultivate spiritual power during your month of recuperation? That way, I won't embarrass you when I join the Taiyuan Sect."

His perfect sword control technique easily killed the Taoist in green. If he used spiritual power, how strong would he be?

Zhou Xue thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let me see your comprehension. I will teach you the basic Qi absorption method."

"Wait, could you teach me some advanced methods of cultivating immortality..." Fang Wang asked cautiously.

Basic methods of absorbing Qi?

That's terrifying!

Zhou Xue frowned as she looked at him, intending to lecture him, but when she thought of the sword control technique Fang Wang had displayed last night, she had other ideas.

Fang Wang's sword control technique has surpassed the scope of cultivators in the Qi Nourishing Realm. His talent is beyond question and he deserves her special cultivation.

"Very well, considering you saved me, I will pass on my cultivation techniques to you. Although I have many techniques, I can only give you three choices. The first is the Spring and Autumn Technique, a unique technique throughout the ages. Its creator was the number one cultivator of the Great Qi Dynasty a thousand years ago. It can increase lifespan and lead to immortality. Once mastered, it is not difficult to live for three thousand years. The second is the Devouring Heaven Demon Technique, which I obtained in an ancient secret realm. I first cultivated this technique. It can devour the spiritual power of others. However, cultivating this technique will shorten one's lifespan and easily lead to inner demons. It is a difficult path of cultivation, but you can get my guidance and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"The third is the Profound Yang Scripture, which is the most profound cultivation technique I have ever obtained in the mortal realm. I did not succeed in mastering it before I ascended. I do not know how powerful the Profound Yang Scripture is, but I almost died in danger because of it, even though I was already at the Mahayana realm."

After saying that, Zhou Xue smiled and looked at Fang Wang, curious about his choice.
