Chapter 116 Master of Medicine and Poison
"..."
After losing the protection of the relic, Fang Jin could no longer see the bright Buddha in the sky, but an aura filled with sorrow and coldness descended from the sky and was projected onto him. Fang Jin immediately realized that he had been watched.
The gaze of the gods is no child's play. Being able to enter their sight means that your existence has been acknowledged, and you are no longer just dust and ants that pass by and can't be bothered with.
However, Fang Jin felt a deep discomfort in his bones. Whether it was the Star Eater or the Earth King Temple, he practiced the most masculine and powerful methods. Even though they were all Buddhist teachings from the same source, a subtle chill still crept into his body and mind.
His body, flowing with lava, exhaled icy breath, ice spreading from his throat to his cheeks, his pounding heart seemed to stop beating, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in his muscles with the slightest movement.
"Click..."
Although he eventually broke free, the jade-like cold current still seeped into his flesh and blood, gradually merging with the Buddhist power of Diwang Temple, becoming a gift that allowed Fang Jin to receive a glimpse of the gods.
[Congratulations, player, you have learned a new skill]
[Skill: Stabilize Inner Fire (Sun Flame)]
[Rank: Level 30 (Current skill level: 20/30)]
【Characteristic: "Sunfire": Melts water vapor into the central vein, manifesting the appearance of Sunfire. Initially, it emits a wisp of blue smoke, followed by an explosive burst of intense light that seals the sky and earth, causing intense and continuous burning.】
【Conditions for use: Consumes a fixed amount of source energy; will cause a burning sensation in the mouth when used】
[Learning Requirements: 1. Jiwangji lineage; 2. Exposure to extremely pure sources of chilling energy]
[Note: One of the five aspects of Kundalini, and because it contradicts the original meaning of Kundalini, it is the most difficult of the five aspects to comprehend out of thin air. Someone was fortunate enough to receive a glimpse from the Jade Buddha and took the opportunity to experience the Samantabhadra aspect of sudden enlightenment.]
[Current Status: Limit can be increased]
"call--!"
Fang Jin gasped for breath, his frozen body finally able to move again. Just a single glance from the god had made him experience the terror of life and death. What kind of being was that?
Fang Jin was destined not to get an answer to this question for the time being, because at this moment, he was not only being watched by Ming Fo, but also by the female corpse at the end of the manor, which had turned into a huge skeleton, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at him.
"……ah!"
One of the four great masters of the Jiazi era, the renowned physician Li Qin, Li Fu was not actually her disciple, but her son, the precious child of the entire Shengshou Manor.
However, he also betrayed his own family, was bewitched by Mingfo to spread Buddhism in an extreme way, and committed murder and medicine making, which was extremely evil. At that time, Mingfo had not paid attention to this world, and he had already committed countless evils in Beiyuan.
Left with no other choice, Grandmaster Li Qin sent him to the capital of the Li Dynasty, far from the Northern Plains, to slowly wear down his cruelty and suppress his unruly nature with the help of the current emperor's grandmaster cultivation and the popularity of the capital.
Who would have thought that after twenty years, and even after personally participating in numerous anti-Buddhist events, Li Fu hadn't changed in the slightest; instead, he had become even more reserved and extreme.
When the Buddha descended, he fully revealed his fangs. The blessing within him grew stronger as he traveled north, and by the time he arrived at the Holy Hand Manor, he had surpassed the Grandmaster level, personally turning the manor that gave him birth and nurtured him into a purgatory!
There is no Buddha in the world, and Buddhist teachings are a taboo at Shengshou Manor. The young master of the Li family will distort the meaning of Buddhism into an extreme and crazy way, and personally practice it in the surrounding mountain villages.
When a Buddha appeared in the world and bestowed blessings upon the demon, the manor was plunged into a nightmare. The resentment in the Holy Hand's heart had already reached its peak, and he killed anyone he saw, letting out mournful and wailing roars!
"ah--!"
She pulled her arms out from the ground, covering most of the manor. Her withered yet enormous arms swept across, extinguishing the candles and torches along the way, and pressed down on Fang Jin!
Fang Jin cursed under his breath, then shattered the ice on the stone slab with his feet. He leaped into the air, narrowly missing the huge withered branch, but the rocks beneath his feet had already been smashed into large pieces of powder!
Fang Jin's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the completely altered landscape and realized that this was the true power of a Grandmaster. His previous battles with Hu Shan and the others were nothing but child's play!
In a sense, this is what a Grandmaster-level being should look like: a group of enormous monsters trapped in human skin, whose physical strength alone has already surpassed the limit of Fang Jin's dual cultivation of two methods!
Fortunately, Ziwuzhui had already taken Cui Cui away beforehand; otherwise, this single attack would have likely killed them both.
Fang Jin thought quickly in mid-air, while the kitchen knife in her hand was already engulfed in flames. Taking advantage of the downward momentum, she cleaved heavily at the withered branch! The blade energy was as round as fire, tearing through the withered flesh of the Saint Hand inch by inch!
However, its usefulness is quite limited. Although it can break through the defenses of a Grandmaster-level being, it only leaves a very shallow wound on the opponent's body, and the withered flesh quickly grows back together.
"ah--!"
But the withered woman was in pain and roared in anger. Streaks of dark green power surged from her body, like venomous snakes tearing at Fang Jin in mid-air!
That's true qi, the Jiazi true qi that a grandmaster can circulate outside the body! The Holy Hand Grandmaster himself cultivates the Medicine and Poison Body, and his originally emerald green true qi can be used as medicine or to conceal poison. He is also one of the most difficult to deal with among the four grandmasters!
Moreover, now that he has been cursed by Li Fu, all the medicinal properties in his body have been twisted into putrefactive poison. The Holy Hand's recovery ability has dropped significantly, but his killing ability has increased dramatically!
"Truly worthy of being a mid-level being... even their skills and methods are insufficient to bridge the gap in their life level."
Fang Jin sighed, and at the same time, her body landed in an instant, crushing the head of a withered human puppet. Simultaneously, she raised her fingertip, and a wisp of blue smoke quickly rose, drifting upwards around her finger.
"But unfortunately... I happen to be the most effective against demons and strange poisons!"
[Kundalini Meditation - Yang Flame Phase] was activated in an instant, and the ethereal blue smoke silently expanded, then shot out countless sharp, knife-like white lights! In an instant, it radiated to every corner of the manor!
This was not just a flashbang; each ray of light carried sharp, pure heat, like countless white needles piercing the bodies of those black snakes from all directions, only to dissipate in an instant with a hiss!
The withered woman grew even angrier, her mournful roar accompanied by spilled black blood. Although the white light could not harm her, the power of pure yang was an offense to her in her current state!
Suddenly, her arms split apart, transforming from her normal arms into eight slender, yet sharper and faster, withered branches that flew up and pierced the white light, tearing the entire light curtain apart!
Furthermore, each of her arms is covered with a large amount of deadly putrefactive poison. She condenses her true energy and attaches it to them. Ordinary people will turn into a puddle of pus just by getting close to them, and even a grandmaster will die suddenly from having his throat slit when he is rubbed until he bleeds!
"Click-click-click—!"
