Chapter 82

There was only a pamphlet and two Spirit Crystals in the bag, nothing more.

Li Xuan wore an expression of disappointment.

Blood Demon was such a miser.

He couldn’t help cursing in his heart, “As a devil cultivator, isn’t murdering and plundering quite normal for you? You’re almost escaping to the border wilderness, wouldn’t it be wise to loot some treasures for use there?

“Such a waste. Even if you turn into ashes, it won’t be unjust at all!”

He looked at the bag. It was nothing more than a common bag, definitely not one of those storage bags.

Without any consideration, he chucked it aside.

“I wonder if there are items like storage bags in the Inner Realm.”

He sighed, wondering if he should find a disciple with the talent for Artifact Refining and create a set of Artifact Refining techniques for him to study and create things like storage bags?

“But I don’t know a thing about Artifact Refining. The challenge of creating a new set of instructions might be too big? Maybe 1 should go to the Inner Realm, look for some Artifact Refining techniques there, and design a perfect set based on those.”

“Probably only the Inner Realm can have such extraordinary Artifact Refining talents, right?”

These thoughts were spinning in Li Xuan’s mind.

But Artifact Refining isn’t as crucial as growing stronger oneself, so it’s not urgent. He could wait and see if he could find such a prodigy later.

He put away the Spirit Crystals.

Then he looked at the fiery red pamphlet.

Upon flipping it open, four words came into view.

“Blood Demon Evil Scripture!”

At first glance, it’s definitely the technique of demon cultivation.

However, Li Xuan didn’t mind. He wasn’t going to learn these techniques directly. He merely wanted to draw some references to understand the Inner Realm Martial Arts.

“This is actually an incomplete scripture?”

Li Xuan was rather surprised.

The Blood Demon Evil Scripture was incomplete and lost some parts, leaving only the fragments.

Despite being incomplete, it had still taken Blood Demon to the Grandmaster Realm and even further to become a Great Grandmaster.

Therefore, could the complete Blood Demon Evil Scripture cultivate to a level above Great Grandmaster?

As Li Xuan read through The Blood Demon Evil Scripture, he found it indeed was a demonic cultivation technique, revolving around absorbing and refining essence and blood, with self fortification as the core principle.

The more pure and abundant the essence and blood, the greater the enhancement obtained.

This was why Blood Demon had targeted Meng Chong.

It also contained secret techniques specifically for The Blood Demon Evil Scripture. The Blood-eating Ghost Thread, used for absorbing essence and blood.

“It does have some special features.”

Li Xuan was astonished as he read. The Blood Demon Evil Scripture provided him with some inspiration.

For instance, the technique for absorbing essence and blood, and the

Blood-eating Ghost Thread.

Of course, he wouldn’t develop a technique that absorbs essence and blood, but he could use this as a reference to create even more delicate and righteous cultivation techniques.

“The new martial arts system is gradually taking shape.”

After going through The Blood Demon Evil Scripture, Li Xuan had some new thoughts.

Besides the physical martial arts, there could be a new system for martial arts cultivation. Though, it was still incomplete and just an idea for now.

Moreover, it also needed a suitable person to fully comprehend.

“The Blood Demon Evil Scripture is considered as a powerful devil cultivation technique in the Inner Realm. Despite Blood Demon not being weak amongst the grandmasters… However, The Blood Demon Evil Scripture belongs to the category of dark and evil techniques that can be suppressed by Qi and blood.”

The state of Qi and blood is as fiery as fire, perfectly capable of suppressing the dark and evil aura of The Blood Demon Evil Scripture.

If they were to fight in the same realm, a martial artist practicing The Blood Demon Evil Scripture would be constantly suppressed.

“However, the Qi and blood are extremely tempting for them.”

Why was Blood Demon so eager for Meng Chong’s essence and blood?

Why was he so eager for Xu Yan’s essence and blood? It was precisely due to this reason.

The Qi and blood martial artists had more vigorous and pure essence and blood than those martial artists in the inner realm, and they appeared to be great elixirs for the practitioners of The Blood Demon Evil Scripture!

After going through The Blood Demon Evil Scripture, Li Xuan completely memorized its content, without missing a single word.

A thought crossed his mind and The Blood Demon Evil Scripture turned into dust and disappeared.

Surely, he couldn’t let this devil cultivation technique remain. Just in case, someday, he got careless or forgot and left it behind, and someone picked it up, wouldn’t it give rise to a new devil cultivator?

Even though it’s impossible to produce martial artists in the border wilderness, one could still enhance his abilities by absorbing essence and blood through The Blood Demon Evil Scripture.

Granted, due to the weakening of Heavenly and Earthly Lingji, it’s impossible to break through the limitation in the border wilderness, but one’s abilities could still be elevated to that of a fifth or sixth-rate martial artist in the inner realm.

This would definitely bring trouble to the border wilderness.

Better to get rid of the manual once he remembered it so he wouldn’t have to worry about it libering around.

In the forest outside Yunshan County.

Li Xuan had one hand behind his back, gazing into the distant sky.

Xu Yan was standing behind him respectfully, with a sword in hand.

“Disciple, you must remember, as a teacher, I pass on the Way, not the method.

Hence, 1 am passing onto you the way of the sword, rather than the swordsmanship…”

Li Xuan casually broke a tree branch, and solemnly said, “Just like I always emphasize, cultivating is about comprehending and understanding its true intentions, and so is sword Dao. Watch carefully.”

“Yes, master!”

Xu Yan was full of excitement.

With a mere flick of the branch in Li Xuan’s hand, a burst of True Qi shot out, directly creating a hole in a large tree.

Xu Yan’s eyes widened in shock, “Master’s swordsmanship… no, Sword Dao, is extremely powerful. He could wield a branch and with a casual flick, achieve greater power than Blood Demon’s blade aura.”

After testing the feel of the branch in his hand, Li Xuan began swinging it around. His Primordial True Qi wrapped around the branch, making it look extremely fierce. In reality, he was just randomly swinging it around.

It was only because of his incredibly strong Primordial True Qi that it displayed such a powerful and fierce momentum.

Of course, it can’t be completely considered as random swinging. The techniques like slash, stab, rise, horizontal slash, wipe, and so on were being performed neatly.

After a while of random swinging, Li Xuan put down the branch and asked in a deep voice, “Disciple, have you remembered all?”
