Chapter 503: Chapter 499: Xuan Yin Opening Vein Chapter 503: Chapter 499: Xuan Yin Opening Vein “I apologize for my previous rudeness given the urgency of my father’s condition. I hope you’ll excuse my impudence, Friend Shen.” Ma Xiuxiu imdiately realized her inappropriate behavior and said with a blush on her face.
“It’s only natural for Miss Ma to be concerned about her family.” Shen Luo responded.
“Thank you for your understanding, Friend Shen.” Ma Xiuxiu thanked him.
She hastily took the Dream Rembrance Talisman, seemingly eager to return and soon bid Shen Luo farewell and departed.
Shen Luo watched her figure vanish into the distance before turning around and leisurely heading in a different direction.
…
Chang’an City, East City, Chang Le Alley.
As evening was approaching, the lanterns in the market began to glow, reflecting a vibrant red color onto the entire street. The sound of music and clinking glasses were heard from the taverns on either side of the street, emanating a lively atmosphere.
On the smaller streets of the market, night food stalls and small booths began setting up along the street. White smoke emanated from stoves and pots by the roadside and the shouts of the vendors were heard everywhere.
As Shen Luo ambled through the market, his mind was still revolving around the dayti confrontation with the Dragon Soul. He was gripped by frustration and resentnt. Had he possessed the sa prowess as he commands in Dreamland, he never would have suffered such a defeat.
Bearing these thoughts made his desire to rapidly increase his strength grow exponentially intense.
However, his Dual-elent True Water’s supplies had already been used up, if he wanted to continue advancing his realm, he would have to consider another thod.
“Hot, tender lamb in a water basin…” A shout from the roadside mixed with a tantalizing aroma interrupted his train of thought.
Unexpectedly, Shen Luo, who had long passed the Grain Avoidance Stage, was tempted by the tantalizing aroma of food. He sat at a roadside food stall and ordered a bowl of steaming water basin lamb, enjoying it imnsely.
The roadside traders chatted idly with their regular custors. So people ntioned the recent chaos in the city with demons and ghosts rife, and how Chang’an City is no longer safe and peaceful.
So complained about the deteriorating tis, others reassured with the existence of the governnt officials, and there were those who blad the immortals for their infighting. Opinions were many and diverse, none in the sa vein.
Shen Luo silently listened, adding no comnts. His heart was full of mixed feelings. When the dreaded Demonic Tribulation arrives, not a single soul in the world will be unaffected.
After having his fill, he paid his bill, stood up satisfied, burped loudly and then left to make his way back to his residence.
Shen Luo had made up his mind to start practicing the Technique of Opening Dark Yin ridians, intending to open new ridians and thus increase the speed of his cultivation.
“Elixirs and True Water are external aids, after all. Improving my innate qualities is the true way to progress.” Shen Luo sighed.
He had a basic grasp of a part of the Great Unsealing Technique and also had the experience of practicing the Technique of Opening Dark Yin ridians in his dreams, which gave him so confidence that he could successfully open the ridians.
Even if he failed on the first try, he had the Great Unsealing Technique to heal the damaged veins and flesh wounds. The risk was within manageable limits. Besides, he had the holy healing elixir, the Milk Spirit Pill.
The Pill was fad for its ability to rescue a person from the brink of death and heal any injury as long as the person was alive. It was indeed a life-saving tool.
Upon returning to his courtyarded residence, Shen Luo went straight back to his room and sat in ditation.
After a period of recuperation, he slowly opened his eyes and took out a red porcelain bottle and placed it in front of him. Then he took out his Qiankun Bag and held it in his hand.
Although Shen Luo had reviewed the intricate workings of the Technique of Opening Dark Yin ridians countless tis in his mind, kick-starting it still filled him with apprehension. He needed to be fully prepared.
He waved his hand, and the mouth of the Qiankun Bag slowly opened. A wisp of black smoke drifted out, and quickly, the figure of a Soul Condensation Stage’s Ghost General materialized from it.
“I greet you Master.” The Ghost General appeared and imdiately gave a fist and palm salute to Shen Luo.
“No need for so much formality, I asked you to co today because I need your help with sothing,” Shen Luo waved his hand and spoke.
“I am willing to lay down my life for the master, please feel free to instruct,” the Ghost General did not rise and continued speaking.
Most military n value trust and loyalty, and once they are won over, they are usually very loyal. Obviously, this Ghost General was no exception.
“I intend to practice a secret thod, for which I need to borrow the Yin Sha Qi from your body. It may cause you so harm, but afterwards I will think of a way to compensate you,” Shen Luo spoke.
“For the master’s matters, even a thousand deaths would not deter , how dare I ask for any compensation?” the Ghost General responded without hesitation.
“Alright, in a mont you just need to sit cross-legged, you don’t need to pay attention to anything else,” Shen Luo said.
“Yes,” the Ghost General responded with a fist and palm salute.
Having spoken, it imdiately sat cross-legged, its hands lying on its knees, remaining as still as a statue.
Seeing this, Shen Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze landing on his own leg.
In his first attempt to practice the Technique of Opening Dark Yin ridians after returning to reality, he didn’t plan to directly start from the Twelve Channels. Instead, he planned to try it from the collateral channel of the Yin Qiao Mai, just as he did in the Dreamland.
After all, this was his first ridian successfully opened using the Technique of Opening Dark Yin ridians. He made the most mistakes on this ridian, hence also gathered the most experience, which could help to avoid a lot of unnecessary mistakes.
After a mont of contemplation, Shen Luo put his fingers together and started carving on his leg like a knife. Soon, a complex array of bloody charm patterns erged on his leg.
Seeing the tiny blood beads arranged like ant soldiers, Shen Luo nodded satisfactorily, murmured the mantra of the Xuan Yin Opening Vein thod, and pointed at the ghost general sitting not far away in the void.
Imdiately, a white light beam shot out from his fingertip and hit the Ghost General.
The Ghost General shuddered violently, and imdiately began to tremble like a sieve. His eyes rolled back and his mouth fell open, a thick black fog erupted from it, flowing towards Shen Luo.
“This Yin Sha Qi seems a bit different from the one in the Six Chen Whip?” Shen Luo hesitantly remarked.
The Yin Sha Qi that flowed from the Six Chen Whip that day was a solid black beam of light, not black fog like now.
Shen Luo just slightly frowned and didn’t think too much about it. He guided the thick black fog to land on his leg.
The mont the black fog covered Shen Luo’s leg, it was like an evil ghost slling a Blood al, it eagerly rushed into his leg without Shen Luo having to guide it. Soon black light shone on Shen Luo’s leg and the charm pattern contained the Yin Sha Qi on the surface of his body.
After it was infused with the black fog, the Array started to operate. Shen Luo imdiately felt a tingling and painful sensation like ants gnawing. His eyebrows frowned involuntarily.
Although he was familiar with this kind of sensation, he still couldn’t remain completely calm.
Soon he steadied himself. After all, he was now on the verge of the Ant Line Devouring Vein stage, it was crucial to maintain the ridian flow, and combine it with the Yin Sha Qi under the guidance of the Ant Line. He could not afford any distractions.
However, a mont later, a sharp pain suddenly swept in. His collateral ridian, it had broken again.
Enduring the severe pain, Shen Luo swiftly activated the Great Unsealing Technique, urgently repairing that ridian.
After the repair was completed, he began again to mobilize the Yin Sha Qi, trying once again to open this ridian.
