Chapter 13 Methods of Exorcising Demons
The bloating sensation in Lingyuan disappeared, but the spiritual energy that had circulated through his limbs and bones did not return to Lingyuan; instead, it was absorbed and consumed by his body.
After the spiritual energy in his spiritual source was almost depleted, Li Yuan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
This feels so good, this is what cultivation is all about!
Li Yuan didn't feel any significant increase in strength, but his physical condition was excellent! He felt like he could run twenty kilometers in one go, and he was full of energy.
He felt that his method was correct and that it could indeed make him stronger.
However, this only strengthens the body; what about magic?
How does one cultivate magical arts?
The most common and simplest way is to use it repeatedly, just like exercising your body; you will naturally become stronger with continuous use.
But this method is very slow.
This world won't give you time to leisurely grow stronger. The right way is to use your spiritual power to become stronger when you have plenty of spirit stones.
But how do we use it?
Spiritual energy circulating within the body only tempers the body.
Wait, magic awakens from the spiritual source, so since magic exists within the spiritual source, I can channel spiritual power into magic!
Li Yuan thought it was feasible. After absorbing the remaining half of the spirit stone, his spiritual energy became abundant, and he began to try to channel the spiritual power towards the killing lightning.
Li Yuan sensed a black arc of electricity flashing within the spiritual source; it was killing lightning, confirming his suspicions.
Li Yuan tried to direct his spiritual energy toward the killing lightning, but as soon as the spiritual energy got close, the killing lightning suddenly flashed and swallowed all of it!
The method is correct!
Li Yuan was overjoyed and kept channeling spiritual energy towards it. The killing lightning bolts flashed and swallowed the spiritual energy without hesitation, and soon the spiritual energy in the spiritual source was exhausted again.
Li Yuan stopped feeding the animals, unable to hide his excitement. This kind of cultivation was so simple!
Now that we have methods to strengthen our bodies and techniques, the next step is to study our moves!
The moves are simple; Thunder Palm is one example.
The Lightning Strike Palm can continuously release lightning!
Wait a minute, why not do it like this? Just unleash a palm strike brimming with lightning! That's much cooler!
Ah!
Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "Let's call it Thunder Punishment Palm!"
The Thunder Strike Palm technique requires striking the target with lightning at the same time as making contact, making it far more destructive than the Thunder Strike Palm!
Alright! Let's begin our training!
Li Yuan can condense lightning in his palm, but he cannot shoot it out.
Li Yuan picked up a spirit stone and absorbed its energy. Half an hour later, when his spiritual energy was fully replenished, he put down the spirit stone, rolled down the car window, and struck out with his palm.
"ha!"
"roar!"
"ha!"
"roar"
. . . . .
. . . . .
Li Yuan tried several times without success. Of course, he didn't just move his arms; he also channeled his spiritual power when he struck out with his palm, but he still couldn't send the lightning out.
Li Yuan was suddenly troubled. What should he do? Suddenly he thought of the Red Lotus Demon Sealer. That kid had been the first to awaken magic in a bizarre way. Did he have any solutions? Had he researched any more methods?
He awakened earlier than I did, and perhaps discovered more.
Li Yuan didn't really want to talk to people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), but the Red Lotus Demon Sealer was the only person he knew who had awakened magic before him, so he had no choice but to seek him out.
Li Yuan thought about opening the chat channel and typing "Red Lotus Demon Envoy" to send a friend request, specifying in the note that he wanted to ask about magic.
Although Honglian is a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he is capable. There must be a lot of people adding him as a friend. If you want to successfully accept a friend request, you should make it clear.
Li Yuan waited for the friend request to be accepted, and glanced at the chat channel. Surprisingly, the chat channel was not arguing and even looked somewhat harmonious.
Li Yuan couldn't help but wonder, when did these people develop such manners?
Li Yuan looked through the messages until he saw one from someone named Qingfeng Daoist, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.
The Taoist priest was teaching methods to deal with evil spirits, so everyone below was saying nice things to him. Sure enough, people become kind when they receive something good.
Master Qingfeng: Blood from the tip of the tongue and blood from the middle finger both contain yang energy and have the effect of dispelling evil spirits.
Master Qingfeng: But if you are physically weak, do not use it. Releasing your body's yang energy will make you even weaker.
Master Qingfeng: Peach wood and willow branches can both be used to fight ghosts.
Master Qingfeng: Even a child's urine has the ability to exorcise ghosts, but I think no one in this era meets the criteria anymore.
Doesn't the Taoist priest fit the bill either?
Someone immediately asked a question.
Master Qingfeng: ...
Master Qingfeng: Taoists are not monks. Our main goal is to achieve a state of enlightenment, which allows one to marry and have children.
Seeing this, Li Yuan secretly rejoiced that he was not weak and that the blood from his tongue and middle finger could still be used.
Two more ways to deal with evil spirits!
The requirements for using a boy's urine are quite high; the boy must be a virgin, and even a secret reward is not allowed.
In this era, very few people meet the requirements.
Could the Taoist priest share some of our food?
I've already told you the method, why do you still need food? What a lazy pig!
Did I talk to you? You're calling me "M"!
How many coins have you given to the Taoist priest?
You mxxxxxx
. . . . .
. . . . .
Ah!
Li Yuan gave a helpless, cold laugh and closed the chat channel. This network environment... there's just no way to deal with it...
Li Yuan waited a while for the friend request to be accepted, but it was delayed. He was probably busy. The Red Lotus Demon Envoy should have entered the second strange land.
My car was fast, so I got in early.
Li Yuan opened the trading center and cancelled all the previously published trades.
Neither the transaction involving cinnabar nor the Five Emperors' Coins was successful.
When Li Yuan emerged from the second mysterious location, he had 102 Five Emperors Coins, 61 spirit stones, ten portions of compressed biscuits, and ten bottles of water.
He ate one serving of cookies and water.
We've run out of cinnabar and black dog blood.
Li Yuan put the items up for sale again, still offering cinnabar, black dog blood, and five-emperor coins, but instead of one compressed biscuit and one bottle of water, he offered two compressed biscuits and two bottles of water.
It's twice as expensive as others.
We only buy one portion of cinnabar and black dog blood, and three pieces of Five Emperors Coins.
No one would be willing to use exorcism tools lightly, as they could save their lives. They would wait until they were starving before they could act.
But Li Yuan couldn't wait. His own carriage was going to many strange places, and he was consuming a lot of exorcism tools. He also couldn't use his magic freely, so he needed exorcism tools.
Besides, he wasn't short of food. He took all the unopened rice and noodles from the cabin, as well as mushrooms he picked from the Black Forest. Aren't they tastier than compressed biscuits?
Change! Change more! They're really tough to deal with.
Li Yuan picked up the money sword, untied the ribbon, and found a red rope in the wooden house that could be rewoven.
Li Yuan re-weaved the money sword, and the red rope made it look much better than the silk ribbon.
Li Yuan then strung the remaining five Emperor coins into six strings. He wore five strings around his neck, wrist, and ankle, and the last string was tied around his waist and could also be taken off to be used as a whip.
Let's see who dares to choke me or grab my wrist!
Wait a minute! If you could string together five Emperor coins to make chainmail and wear it on your body, wouldn't that keep out all monsters?
Li Yuan couldn't help but praise his own cleverness. Unfortunately, he had used up his chance to multiply his 100x multiplier for the day. He would see what happened tomorrow. If he didn't get anything more valuable, he would use the Five Emperors Coins to multiply his coin.
At the rate at which Li Yuan absorbs spiritual energy, 61 spirit stones would be enough for several days.
After Li Yuan finished doing all this, he checked the friend request, but the Red Lotus Demon Envoy still hadn't accepted it.
He's not dead inside, is he?!
