Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 252 - 161: Birth of Demonic Qi

With his current strength, he still couldn’t face so many enemies alone. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

’I’d better deduce it myself.’

Su Que’s thoughts turned, and he immediately made a decision.

After all, this Demon Possession Technique only had the First Layer, with not much content from other cultivation techniques to reference, making the patterns unclear and the deduction difficult.

Su Que sat cross-legged in the cave, closed his eyes and focused his mind. It took him more than two hours to deduce the Second Layer.

With the follow-up cultivation technique, he continued cultivating.

Within his body, Demonic Qi arose once again.

Demon Saber (Entry Level 60%)

He continually cultivated until evening. Feeling hungry, Su Que changed his clothes and left the cave, went to nearby towns, had several meals, and then returned to the cave to continue cultivating.

After roughly one tea’s time of practice, his Demon Saber reached Entry Level 63%, then stalled again.

’The Second Layer has been exhausted, time to deduce the Third Layer.’

Su Que immediately focused his mind to deduce the Third Layer of the Demon Possession Technique.

With the First and Second Layers as references, the patterns of this Demon Possession Technique had become much clearer.

Thus, when deducing the Third Layer, it was actually faster than deducing the Second Layer.

After an hour, he deduced the cultivation technique for the Third Layer.

Then, he continued practicing according to the deduced cultivation technique.

The Demonic Qi within his body grew increasingly thick, circulating within his physique.

Demon Saber (Entry Level 64%)

Demon Saber (Entry Level 65%)

...

The progress of cultivating the Demon Saber was advancing rapidly.

During cultivation, the side effects reversed, making his mind feel clearer and his spirit stronger.

Before he knew it, more than two hours had passed, and the Demon Saber had reached Entry Level 99%.

’About to breakthrough!’

The Demonic Qi within Su Que’s body suddenly surged like a lit flame!

With a thought, the Demonic Qi started flowing towards his limbs and bones.

Stimulated by this Demonic Qi, the Qi Blood and True Qi within his meridians surged like a flood.

Within his flesh, strength seemed to be born continuously.

In just that moment, he felt he was entirely different.

’I wonder how much my strength has increased, feels like finding someone to spar with!’

Su Que felt the power within his body and thought to himself.

He looked at the panel again and saw that the Demon Saber had reached the 1st Realm Initial Insight 1%.

As he continued to cultivate, he quickly reached the peak of the Third Layer.

The progress of the Demon Saber remained at 1st Realm Initial Insight 3%.

When deducing the Third Layer, he had felt that this Third Layer was the limit.

Reaching the peak of the Third Layer now, he realized this was indeed the case.

But he felt the Demonic Qi within his body could be even more intense.

However, it could not be enhanced by cultivation alone; it required external assistance.

He had felt this way when the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons realm stalled.

Back then, advancing the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons required consuming specific poisons, which counted as external assistance.

Now, the progress of the Demon Saber also required external assistance!

He just didn’t know what kind of external assistance was needed to continue advancing.

After all, Li Xuanji’s master only told him the Demon Possession Technique without informing him of the other parts of the Demon Saber’s cultivation method.

’Seems like I still need to ask Li Xuanji’s master for the subsequent cultivation method.’

’Moreover, the Demon Saber surely involves Saber Technique.’

’Although manipulating Demonic Qi now can boost power.’

’The Saber Technique in the Demon Saber must better coordinate with the Demonic Qi to exert greater power.’

’I need to find a way to ask Li Xuanji’s master about the Saber Technique in the Demon Saber!’

’That mysterious person would never expect me to reach the Third Layer in one day.’

’However, to not expose my talent, I shouldn’t seek him so soon.’

’I’ll wait until three days later.’

Thinking this, Su Que saw it was already deep into the night, so he changed back into his usual loose scholar’s robe, left the cave, and swiftly flew back to Jiannan Prefecture City.

Jiannan Prefecture City did not impose a curfew, and the night market was bustling.

Su Que returned to the city and saw the night market full of lively atmosphere. The aroma of stir-fried peppers and beef wafted from the stalls, entering his nostrils and making his mouth water.

So, after eating a late-night snack, he walked back home.

...

The next day, at dawn, Su Que was already up.

With a thought, he planned to cultivate the "Blood Movement Technique".

Curious about why Li Xuanji’s master included this small segment of cultivation technique in the Demon Saber’s Demon Possession Technique.

Thus, he sat cross-legged, operated the Inner Qi according to the Blood Movement Technique’s cultivation method, and regulated his breath.

Soon, introspecting his whole body, he saw the flow of blood accelerate, its vitality increased a bit.

’Is that all?’

Su Que couldn’t understand Li Xuanji’s master’s intentions since the Blood Movement Technique had no side effects.

If the Blood Movement Technique’s side effects were harmful, he would have assumed Li Xuanji’s master intended to harm him.

But now not sensing any side effects from the Blood Movement Technique, perhaps its side effects hadn’t appeared yet.

He initially considered that increased blood flow and vitality might be a reverse of the Blood Movement Technique’s side effects.

But upon rethinking, he felt this wasn’t the side effect of the Blood Movement Technique.

Because if it were a side effect, the reverse would be blood coagulation.

This technique wouldn’t be called the Blood Movement Technique but something like Blood Coagulation Technique.

Therefore, he believed increased blood vitality was the main effect of the Blood Movement Technique, not a side effect.

He continued cultivating the Blood Movement Technique; the increased blood vitality slightly enhanced his physique.

However, its effect wasn’t as significant as the reversing side effects of techniques like Seven Injuries Fist or Marriage Robe Divine Skill.

So he continued cultivating for a while, and when reaching the limit of the current cultivation method for the Blood Movement Technique, he stopped.

In the following two days, he diligently cultivated.

On the third day, he headed to the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion.

...

In the quiet room of the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion, Fan Gushan was still sitting cross-legged in place.

The dim candlelight illuminated the Ghost God Wood Mask on his face.

At this time, he was still meditating, but instead of refining his heart state, he was contemplating how to continue advancing his Martial Arts.

"Grand Tutor, the sir has arrived!"

Suddenly, Qiu Yu’s shout came from outside the quiet room.

Today, with Li Xuanji out, it was Qiu Yu who would greet Su Que.

Hearing of the mysterious person’s arrival, Fan Gushan’s eyes abruptly opened, his mood wavering slightly.

He was eager to know whether this mysterious person truly possessed the physique of an Innate Demon Monarch.

If so, he would carefully cultivate this Innate Demon Monarch’s blood, which would allow him to employ True Qi again and greatly boost his strength!

"Please come in." Though his heart was quite excited, his voice was emotionless and calm.

Qiu Yu pushed open the quiet room’s door with her delicate hand, gesturing for Su Que to enter.

Su Que then stepped inside.

Afterward, Qiu Yu closed the quiet room’s door again.

Noticing Su Que’s steady steps, Fan Gushan thought the man likely hadn’t had his mind affected by Demonic Qi, causing his heart to swell with excitement.

Su Que approached Fan Gushan, nodded, and greeted him with a simple "sir".

While restraining his eagerness, Fan Gushan asked in a calm tone, "Friend, how goes your cultivation progress?"

Su Que replied, "I’ve cultivated the First Layer to its peak, hoping the sir can share the remaining cultivation techniques with me."

Fan Gushan continued calmly, "May I ask if you experienced anything peculiar during cultivation?"

Su Que answered, "When I first practiced, there were faint visions in my mind, but they eventually disappeared."

By now, Fan Gushan’s heart was surging with immense excitement, like a roaring wave.

To resist Demonic Qi’s impact on consciousness, this indeed was the physique of an Innate Demon Monarch!

"It seems, friend, that you’re truly suited to cultivate this technique, which gives me peace of mind."

With those words, Fan Gushan shared with Su Que the entire cultivation techniques of the Second and Third Layers.

As long as this mysterious person continued cultivating, he could gradually be drawn into his plan.

Listening to the Second and Third Layers’ cultivation techniques, Su Que found they still intertwined the cultivation methods of the Blood Movement Technique.

’Why does this person want me to cultivate the Blood Movement Technique?’

Su Que’s curiosity rose again.

However, being able to reverse the technique’s side effects meant that if the person intended to harm him, he wouldn’t succeed.

He had no reason to fear.
