Chapter 18 The Number One Divine Art of the Bitter Realm

Others might suffer Qi Deviation, but not Ye Chuxiao.

Because within the Nine Deaths Demonic Art's complete manual, there were the chapters *Guiding Qi into Emptiness* and *Transforming Essence to Unity*, corresponding to the essence and Qi respectively.

During the Nine Deaths Demonic Art's circulation, should anything go awry, immediately switch to this art to avoid danger.

Not only that, but the consumption during cultivation could also be accumulated and stored for the next time, with minimal loss.

The reason why Yue Tingshan's Nine Deaths Demonic Art failed was because he had already lost his original body as a foundation. Relying solely on the tempered flesh and blood of his residing soul was insufficient to perform the complete manual's marvelous techniques.

Besides, how could Yue Tingshan's power alone compare to the knowledge and wisdom of over a thousand cultivators in the city?

Although Yue Tingshan had a Dao Rhythm talent, it was at most comparable to Ye Chuxiao's current talent, with only slightly more cultivation experience. Practicing the Nine Deaths Demonic Art was like building a cart behind closed doors.

But if Ye Chuxiao were to practice the Nine Deaths Demonic Art at this time, there would be a large number of cultivators solidifying his foundation, adding bricks and tiles to interpret the demonic art's true meaning for him. The situation was completely different.

Not to mention, Yue Tingshan's accumulation of the Nine Deaths Demonic Art was also inherited by Ye Chuxiao.

It was equivalent to Ye Chuxiao standing on Yue Tingshan's shoulders from the beginning.

"According to my interpretation of the Nine Deaths Demonic Art, it can be called the number one divine art in the Bitter Realm."

"I ask you, in this world, what is more bitter than life and death? And what is more transformative than resurrection from death, bringing withered trees back to life?"

"Yue Tingshan regarded it as a life-saving divine art, wanting to live in obscurity, but I am different. I want to temper my entire body's meridians, bones, and internal organs with the blood-flesh tempering method, which fits the meaning of martial cultivators entering the Bitter Realm. Afterwards, in the most intense life-and-death battle, I will shed the old shell and grow a new body on the old one." Ye Chuxiao's idea was bold, but also amazing.

If it could really succeed, then Ye Chuxiao's aptitude and foundation would undergo a truly earth-shattering change.

"In the flesh and blood tempering stage, Yue Tingshan mentioned using the heart's blood of virgin boys and girls for irrigation, which is actually a great fallacy. He misinterpreted the meaning of the scriptures, misunderstanding 'or take from infants, who are capable in heaven and earth', thinking that it was necessary to use the innate residual aura of infant boys and girls to irrigate the flesh and blood. But my understanding is that when tempering the flesh and blood, one should be like an infant, using a simple heart, with innate nature, to extract energy from heaven and earth, growing and changing naturally, without using acquired spirits to pollute or imprison it."

"The demonic nature of the Nine Deaths Demonic Art does not lie in how brutal and fierce the cultivation process is, but in the means of facing death to seek life, stealing the secrets of heaven. Compared with the orthodox step-by-step cultivation, it seems extremely demonic. Even with the two chapters of the complete manual as insurance, there is still the risk of death with no chance of survival."

"The Great Heng's path of cultivation, in some aspects, is certainly not as transparent as the Tianluo, but also in the aspect of laying the foundation, the Great Heng does a much better job. In this world, there are orthodox and upright paths, and there are also unorthodox paths of evil and demons, but whether it is the orthodox or the demonic path, in the final analysis, it is necessary to pay attention to the word 'purity'. Taking the flesh and blood spirit of others as nourishment to create convenience for one's own cultivation, in the short term, one can obtain rapid advancement, but in the long run, it is blocking the upper limit and cutting off the future."

Repeatedly pondering the scriptures, and then combining the understanding and insights of many cultivators on sections of the incantation, Ye Chuxiao gradually set the direction and made a decision.

"The prices in Linzhou City are soaring. The silver coins seized from that double-saber swordsman earlier are almost exhausted. I also have to find a way to earn some living expenses. Moreover, if I really want to use the Nine Deaths Demonic Art to start bitter cultivation, I will need the support of massive resources. The few pennies I have in my hand are not even a drop in the ocean." Awakening from the firewood room of the inn, Ye Chuxiao glanced at the books all over the floor, and the vague thoughts in his mind were taking shape.

He had to know how to use the great situation.

On the seventh day after the Nine Deaths Demonic Art incantation was spread, the Jade Tree Sword Sect could no longer withstand the pressure and chose to completely open Linzhou City.

Of course, at this time, the Jade Tree Sword Sect had already been the first to collect all the remaining incantation fragments and various speculative and complete versions, so it could not be considered a loss.

With the lifting of the lockdown on Linzhou City, the Nine Deaths Demonic Art incantation spread from Linzhou City as the core to all directions, even alarming the Proud Sword Sect.

Ye Chuxiao's Fate Points also rose to one hundred and twenty points, reaching a new height.

With more than a hundred Fate Points, Ye Chuxiao felt that his luck seemed to have improved a lot.

Several times, when special search magic treasures flew over Linzhou City, they perfectly avoided him, without touching him at all.

The Jade Tree Sword Sect no longer interfered with other sects in inquiring about 'Wei Ming's' whereabouts.

But because of Ye Chuxiao's operation, the cultivators of other sects fundamentally went in the wrong direction, focusing on divination, divination, and seeking people to lock their breath on 'Wei Ming', and even 'Yue Tingshan' and the disciples of the Tianwei Martial Arts Academy, so naturally they could not detect Ye Chuxiao's roots.

At this time, Ye Chuxiao had changed his appearance, holding a cloth banner, and walking openly on the increasingly prosperous street.

On the cloth banner, there were four large characters: 'Practice Kung Fu for Others'.

On the main street, people came and went, and someone immediately noticed Ye Chuxiao, and an enthusiastic person asked, "You can practice kung fu for others? How do you do it? Could it be that you have learned some method of imparting power, transferring the true Qi you have cultivated to others?"

Ye Chuxiao glanced at the surrounding crowd and said loudly, "Recently, an expert has passed down the law, disassembling the peerless Nine Deaths Demonic Art and spreading it here in Linzhou City. I think you have all seen it."

"It's just that the incantations are chaotic, and everyone has different opinions. Even if they are compiled into articles, they dare not practice them indiscriminately."

"I am not talented, but I have some means of self-examination and self-treatment, so I am presumptuous to boast that I can try the exercises first for others. If the exercises are feasible, others can practice them with confidence and boldness. If it doesn't work, it won't cause any damage to you."

Ye Chuxiao's voice was already loud, and the Nine Deaths Demonic Art was a hot topic, so his opening attracted a large crowd to gather.

After listening to Ye Chuxiao's words, someone immediately questioned, "Are there really people who are not afraid of death?"

"Dare to try this kind of demonic art indiscriminately?"

"Isn't this just grandstanding?"

Ye Chuxiao was not annoyed when he heard this, but said, "I am risking my life to demonstrate the exercises, so naturally I have a few requirements."

"First, the resources required for cultivation must be provided by the provider of the exercises."

"Second, the exercises must be handed over to me for review first, and I will make a decision after confirming the completeness."

"Third, for each exercise I try, I need to pay me three hundred spirit beads as a reward. After all, this is money for my life, so it's not too much to charge a little more."

After Ye Chuxiao finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged, waiting for someone to take the bait.

Three hundred spirit beads was a very 'luxury' price. One spirit bead was worth one hundred taels of silver, and three hundred spirit beads were equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver. However, Ye Chuxiao's purpose was not to make a few deals.

Instead, it was to start this fire first, so that more people could see the 'profit' of trying the exercises.

When there were more people trying, he could constantly change his identity and appear in similar transactions to fleece the sheep.

So as to achieve his goal of crowdfunding cultivation.

The sky-high fee of three hundred spirit beads was not his goal, but the self-provided cultivation resources were the key.
