Chapter 1951 (11950): Wandering Through Three Realms and Traversing Four Continents
Chapter 1951 1.1950 Wandering through the Three Realms and Traversing the Four Continents
At this time, the Demon Hunting Sect possessed three Golden Core magic treasures: the Dugu Nine Swords empowered by the Primordial Golden Core, the Rainbow Feather Robe empowered by the Formless Golden Core, and the Seven Heart Begonia Dry Wood Hairpin empowered by the Medicine King Golden Core.
The healing master Cheng Lingsu was the last disciple of Master Wuchen, the "Poisonous Hand Medicine King." While the Medicine King's disciples were renowned for their poison skills, their martial arts were also formidable. In particular, they incorporated their masterful poisoning techniques into their martial arts, making them virtually impossible to defend against. However, Cheng Lingsu only inherited the "Medicine King's Divine Scripture" and did not cultivate the internal martial arts techniques. Since Du Shiniang, the manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, had come to Yonghua Village to avert disaster, she, taking advantage of her proximity, "borrowed" the "Northern Darkness Divine Skill," which was also priced at one Golden Elixir.
The *Bei Ming Divine Art* was originally the highest martial art of the "Free and Unfettered Sect." Upon mastery, it creates a high-speed, inward-flowing vortex of internal energy within the dantian. Every acupoint on the body generates a vortex-like suction force, capable of absorbing the internal energy of others and transforming it into *Bei Ming True Qi*. Secondly, it possesses both yin and yang qualities: the yang energy is as fiery and intense as a furnace, while the yin energy is several times colder than ice, and it is compatible with all martial arts techniques. Thirdly, it grants immunity to all poisons, is incredibly powerful and domineering, and any attack is unparalleled in its ferocity and power. The true qi protects the body, greatly enhancing defense, and it can also reflect attacks back at the enemy.
Other items include the "Life and Death Talisman," a weapon used by the Tianshan Child Granny to control the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands. When thin ice is injected into acupoints, it causes intense itching and pain, making one wish to die. Also included is the "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand," created by the Tianshan Child Granny, which includes six palm techniques and grappling methods and can utilize all martial arts moves. Furthermore, there is the "Lingbo Steps," a footwork based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, characterized by "light clouds obscuring the moon and flowing wind swirling snow," which allows one to neutralize attacks by observing the opponent's weaknesses. These are appended below.
There are also limitations to practicing the "Free and Unfettered Sect" divine skills.
First, the prerequisite for cultivation is to eliminate one's own existing internal energy, making starting from scratch extremely risky. Second, the law of internal energy suppression can lead to a dangerous situation of "seawater overflowing" when absorbing internal energy from an opponent higher than one's own; in the early stages of cultivation, one can only absorb the internal energy of those of lower strength. Third, the conversion of different types of true energy involves gradually assimilating the absorbed internal energy, but this requires one's own internal energy to be stronger than the opponent's to suppress and convert it.
These three rules are naturally not a taboo for Cheng Lingsu, who possesses the Medicine King's Golden Elixir.
Therefore, after the two courtesans of Yonghua Village had mastered the art of guiding qi and transferring power, Qin Cao and Jing Yin joined forces to help Cheng Lingsu cultivate the "Northern Darkness Divine Art".
This also requires a full day's work. Therefore, on the second day of the Flower Pavilion Competition, Yonghua Village remained inactive, choosing to remain unchanged in the face of any eventuality.
The next day, the Demon Hunter Sect was also busy. Wu Chen quietly picked up an important side story.
That's right, it's Sister Pomegranate's alternate counterpart. Haruyo, capable of traversing numerous martial arts storylines and timelines within the prison city, was clearly considered a crucial plot device by Wu Chen, the former head of the Fallen Hammer. Now that he has decided to restart this frozen plot, the pre-planted pieces should be activated.
Soon, the whereabouts of the other sister was revealed by Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge.
She was Xue Que, the third disciple of Master Wu Chen, the "Poisonous Hand Medicine King," and a fellow disciple of Cheng Lingsu. This woman was inherently cold-blooded and treacherous, repeatedly participating in sect conflicts to seize the "Medicine King's Divine Manual," ultimately dying after accidentally igniting the Seven-Heart Begonia poison candle. Because she was included in "Martial Arts World: Prison City Conquest," her personal storyline continued.
The man, residing in the North Fortress, had his appearance ruined and his body twisted due to a lifetime of addiction to poisons. This led to a drastic change in his temperament, making him unpredictable and prone to mood swings.
Techniques such as the "Formless Divine Skill," the "Northern Darkness Divine Skill," and the "Bright Jade Skill" can all help him recover.
Another character, "Airplane Lotus," technician number 19 at the Emperor Lake Sauna in "Ghost Karaoke," is also among the female ghosts of Beibao.
There's also the Fifth Sister, the madam of Yicui Tower, from "The Madman and the Flying Cat".
Yicui Tower also boasts the reigning queen "Flying Cat" (Maggie Cheung), along with the "Big Flirt" Feng Erniang (Sharla Cheung), the "Little Flirt" Feng Ling (Gloria Yip), the Iga Witch (Pauline Chan), and the ten-time-married owner of the Fortune Inn (Fang Fang). Yicui Tower is a renowned brothel in Beibao and has previously participated in the brothel competition. However, it did not participate in this year's competition, and the reason remains unknown.
"In that case, why not go and challenge them?" Hearing that the Fifth Sister, the madam of Yicui Tower, was not only one of Sister Pomegranate's sister's counterparts, but that Yicui Tower also had a courtesan vying for the top spot, the madam of Huixian Yaxu and the head courtesan of Wuyin Flower Boat unanimously agreed. "The more courtesans, the better." The current developments, on the surface, are precisely a competition for the top courtesan title.
"The courtesans of this Yicui Pavilion are mostly notorious bandits and bounty hunters. There is also a Japanese female ninja who possesses extraordinary skills." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, then recounted the details: "The Iga Witch only needs to drink the 'Heavenly Lust and Earthly Cheap Centipede Juice' to unleash the highest move in Japanese ninjutsu, transforming herself into a person covered in poison, and performing 'A Passionate Kiss Kills the Whole Family.' After being poisoned for the duration of an incense stick, she will become aroused. Before dying from the poison, she must have intercourse with a woman nine times to temporarily suppress the deadly poison. This woman will then conceive a monster. Three days later, the monster will be born and a detoxification pill will be made to cure this strange poison."
"It's actually 'Heavenly Lust and Earthly Cheap Centipede Juice'." The anti-wolf expert, Chun Dai, seemed to have heard of it as well: "This poison comes from centipede eggs. After parasitizing the mother's body, it hatches by absorbing yin and yang true energy. It takes three days to form, and the monstrous offspring born is the centipede spirit larva. When refined into pills, it can clear heat and detoxify, and increase internal strength."
"Could it be the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, immediately thought of a great demon.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, also known as the Multi-Eyed Monster or the Centipede Demon, is a famous monster in *Journey to the West*. After attaining enlightenment, he disguised himself as a Taoist priest and "cultivated" at the Yellow Flower Temple, where he worshipped the Three Pure Ones and enjoyed collecting herbs and refining elixirs. He once studied under the Seven-Colored Spider Demon, and they developed a bond. Therefore, after being bullied by Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, the Spider Demon sought refuge with him, leading to a series of events.
After all, he and the scorpion demon lurking in the shadows both originated from the same timeline of "Journey to the West." Such a connection is only natural.
"It's hard to say." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, changed the subject: "It is rumored that Yicuilou used this technique to refine the 'Heavenly Lust and Earthly Cheap Centipede Juice' into the 'Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Union Pill,' which they sold to the brothels of Beibao, making a fortune every day."
"Could it be that this challenge is a contest of alchemy?" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing blurted out.
"No." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, was intelligent and kind-hearted: "Heavenly thunder and earthly fire, plum blossoms blooming nine times."
"How could we act like this!" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing blushed instantly.
"With our lord above us, how can we not cherish ourselves?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, also showed displeasure.
“Perhaps, it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.” The self-defense expert, Haruyo, spoke with a deeper meaning: “‘I was born before you were born, and you were born after I was old.’ The bad news is that I am already someone else’s wife, and the good news is that I am now someone else’s wife. I’m sure my lord will have something to say about this.”
"A bad woman is a good wife." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, understood her meaning: "My lord can travel through the three realms and traverse the four continents. It's never too late to meet him."
"Throughout past and future lives, in this life and the next, my lord has always been consistent from beginning to end." Left Protector Sai Xiaojing also realized: "He has never abandoned me after starting something, nor has he died without illness."
The implication is that, among all the female companions who joined the group, from the first time to the last, and countless times in between, there was only one Wu Chen.
If the most beautiful courtesan in Yicui Tower is also accompanied by a host of other beautiful women, then this rule must apply.
