Chapter 15 The Living Method of Salted Fish

Xu Han had stayed in the Asura Ground for two years, and he had also worked as a clerk of the Dark Asura Hall for two years.

A total of four years had passed, but his cultivation had not been delayed for a moment. He knew very well that the world of Great Zhou seemed to be stable, but under this stability, there was a surge of undercurrents. Cultivation was one of the most important things in order to find a way to survive in a chaotic world.

Xu Han thought that his skills were considered outstanding amongst the many black-clothed Asuras. However, since that was the case, the things that Canghai Liuliu carried with him on his shoulders still made Xu Han feel as if he was carrying Mount Tai with him.

He roughly estimated that the object that appeared to be less than three feet long and less than four inches wide had a weight of nearly ten juns.

Normally, he could barely carry it, but now that his right arm was broken and his body was weak, it was a bit strenuous for him to carry such a weight.

But Xu Han didn't want to die.

He wanted to live, and the Vast Ocean Current was the only way to let him live.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth, bowed his body, and followed the flow of the sea slowly and with difficulty.

Canghai Liuliu seemed to be deliberately making things difficult. He walked very fast. Although he didn't use any techniques or true essence, his speed was already beyond Xu Han's reach.

However, he didn't know if it was because the things on Xu Han's back were extremely important to him, or if he wasn't willing to slap himself as Xu Han had said. Every time he threw Xu Han far away, he would stop at one place and wait for Xu Han to catch up. He said a few sarcastic words in his mouth, and then he didn't give Xu Han any time to rest before going on his way again.

Seven days passed after repeating this.

Although Xu Han was tortured to the point of being inhumane, he miraculously persisted.

…

On summer nights, the breeze was gentle and cool, but it somewhat dispersed the heat of the day.

On a hillside outside Longji City, Xuzhou, Canghai Liu was sitting beside a bonfire with his black cat in his arms, enjoying the quiet summer night.

He narrowed his eyes, and the black cat in his arms narrowed his eyes.

His hand brushed past the black cat's hair, and white light gushed into the black cat's body along his hand.

"When we get to Xuzhou, we have to meet that old brat surnamed Yue no matter what." Canghai Liu murmured to himself.

"Miao!" The black cat in his arms seemed to understand the old man's words and let out a shout of dissatisfaction.

Canghai Liu continued, as if he was patiently explaining something to the black cat in his arms. "The World Sword Sect is nothing more than a battle between Mount Li and the Heavens. I have cultivated my sword all my life, so I have to try out what this world-famous Sword Sect is capable of. It is too far away from the mountains, but the Heavenly Battle City is right in front of me."

However, halfway through his words, he seemed to have sensed something and suddenly stopped. At this moment, a heavy breathing sound came from not far away.

"Hu!"

"Hu!"

"Hu!"

A youth with a broken arm walked out of the forest, panting heavily, carrying a long strip of white cloth wrapped around him.

His footsteps were extremely heavy, and his face was extremely pale. Even his body seemed to tremble slightly as he walked. But even so, he still walked up to Canghai Liuliu, carefully removed the things on his back, and put them aside. Then, his body softened, and he fell to the ground.

This youth was Xu Han.

"Eat." Canghai Liu gently glanced at the pale Xu Han and said indifferently. However, his hand was still slowly stroking the black cat in his embrace. At that time, the black cat also sensed Xu Han's arrival. It lazily opened its eyes and looked at Xu Han. Then, it closed its eyes again and continued to enjoy the touch of the ocean currents.

"Thank you… Thank you, Senior." Xu Han nodded with difficulty and said with a dry voice. Then, he stood up and took out a portion from the food placed in front of Canghai Liu. Then, he sat back in his seat and quietly ate the food that was not delicious but was enough to eat.

Not long after, Xu Han finished eating the food in his hand.

At this time, he finally ushered in a rare day of rest.

However, he did not choose to fall asleep. He took a deep breath and his eyes condensed. He suddenly stood up. Then, he let out a muffled shout. His feet moved along with his fists, and he began to use a set of fists and feet. At this moment, the demonic energy in his body began to circulate along with his movements, rising from his dantian to his four limbs and bones.

This was the technique that Xu Han had cultivated in the dark room of the gambling house back then. It could promote the circulation of demonic energy in his body, thereby strengthening his body. However, perhaps it was because he had broken his right arm that many of the moves in this fist and foot were unable to be executed as freely as before. As a result, the effects of this fist and foot were much weaker than before.

However, Xu Han was not discouraged because of this. He still stubbornly cultivated this fist and foot.

For the past seven days, this had happened day by day, and there had not been the slightest slack from the daily tiredness of traveling.

"The Asura Technique of the Dark Asura Hall , what's the use of practicing such a harmful technique?" Usually, when Xu Han cultivated this technique, Canghai Liuliu had always ignored it. But today, for some unknown reason, not long after Xu Han started, this old man, who had been chased down by the Great Zhou Empire for several decades, suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Xu Han was also stunned. The name of this set of fists and feet was precisely the Asura Technique. To be exact, it was only the first chapter of the Asura Technique. It was extremely shallow. In order to cultivate, one had to be at the position of the Asura in green before they could be taught.

"Senior, what do you mean?" Xu Han was astonished by Canghai Liu's vision. He could tell the origin of this technique with just a few glances. From what he said, it seemed that he had some unique insights into the "Asura Art". Xu Han naturally asked subconsciously.

"Cultivation method pays attention to both rigid and gentle, both internal and external cultivation, most of the sects under the heavens with external force, in order to achieve the extraordinary sage realm, even those bald men of the xia dragon hidden temple, cultivation of the physical body, also pays attention to internal force to assist, temper the body. "However, the Asura Technique is a side technique that uses demonic power to temper the body. Although it has advanced rapidly in the early stage and its combat strength is much stronger than that of its peers, the backlash of demonic power will become more and more obvious. Not only will problems arise due to the penetration of demonic power into the body, but it will also become more strenuous to cultivate. This method is no different from pulling out seedlings and promoting growth." Canghai Liu let out a cold harrumph and talked casually. There was no lack of contempt for this "Asura Art" in his words.

Hearing this, Xu Han fell silent for a moment. Then, he bowed towards Canghai Liuliu and said sincerely, "Thank you, senior."

After saying this, he once again used the Asura Technique's fist and feet.

"You!" Seeing this, Canghai Liuliu felt a burst of anger. He had originally seen Xu Han work so hard these past few days, but he did not complain at all. He felt a bit of compassion in his heart. He had only spoken to teach him today, but who would have thought that Xu Han would not mind his words. He was still cultivating this "Asura Art". "This old man's words are not alarmist. If this kid persists in his mistakes, he will surely suffer in the future," said Canghai Liuliu, who had always been arrogant and arrogant.

Hearing this, Xu Han withdrew his fist again and smiled.

"Senior, Xu Han naturally remembers your teachings. However, the world is tough. I came from a humble background. It's already a great fortune to obtain this [Asura Art]. Where did I get the chance to find any profound techniques? No matter how bad the [Asura Art] is, it's still the foundation of my life. This junior doesn't want to die, so I have no choice." Xu Han said. The clarity in his eyes made people unable to have the slightest doubt about what he said.

Xu Han's neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Canghai Liu feel as if he had encountered a rock. He wanted to ridicule him, but he couldn't.

At this moment, Xu Han stopped his thoughts. He threw himself into the cultivation of the Asura Art. His arm was severed. Whether it was his strength or his balance, it was much worse than before. This situation was far from something that he could adapt to in seven or eight days. Therefore, this fist technique that he had already mastered in his heart now seemed somewhat inappropriate.

At this moment, Canghai Liuliu, who was watching Xu Han silently from the side, lit up. He seemed to have found a breakthrough and said again, "As for this cultivation method of cultivating the fleshly body, the fleshly body is the foundation of everything. If you break an arm, it is as if the swordsman lost his sharp sword and the swordsman lost his precious saber." I can see that your cultivation has broken through to the Aquarius Realm and entered the Pill Sun Realm. However, I'm afraid that you are no match for any Aquarius Realm martial artist now. What's the difference between you and salted fish? What can we do to survive? "

In the past few days, Xu Han had also made clear the nature of this old man who had spread his fame throughout the Great Zhou Empire. He never forgave others for what he said. He always liked to use his tongue, but his thoughts were far from being as harsh as the words he said. One could see some clues from the fact that Xu Han had been left with some food every day for the past few days.

Hence, Xu Han was not angry after hearing this.

"Senior is absolutely right. This junior might really be just a salted fish. I have nothing left. If I don't struggle, they will think that I'm dead. I'd rather be the dead salted fish and the smelly salted fish. Even if it's just disgusting to them, it's still good." Xu Han said faintly. At that time, his gaze became gloomy, as if he had fallen into some kind of memories that he couldn't extricate himself from.

"Them?" Canghai Liu was stunned. This was the first time he had seen Xu Han reveal such an expression. This youth had always been extremely tenacious these past few days. No matter how difficult he tried, he silently endured it without showing any dissatisfaction. This expression surprised Canghai Liu. He subconsciously asked. He was even more curious. Who could this young man in front of him have such a big grudge against?

" Dark Asura Hall ." Xu Cheng replied with a cold expression. His voice was so cold that it sounded like it came from beneath the Netherworld Yellow Springs.

"They owe me a life."
