Chapter 116: Purchasing Demon Techniques Again

This power was grand and immense, beyond words. It represented this land and all living creatures.

Yet it was like a newborn child, with a hazy and confused consciousness, without the distinction of good and evil.

Once its will was violated, it would be rejected and hated by all things in heaven and earth.

“So this is the power of the Heavenly Dao?”

In the face of this power, Zhang Chen felt as small as an ant.

“My lord, do you have any orders?” Shen Yijun bowed and flattered.

He had completely put aside his dignity in order to survive. It could be said that he was adaptable.

Zhang Chen retracted his thoughts and said in a deep voice, “I need you to search and inquire about formations, spells, and poisons that can cause damage to the late-stage Golden Core realm cultivators.

Any method that can cause damage to them is acceptable. You will report your findings to me near the Blood God Sect every six months.”

“I will do my best to inquire,” Shen Yijun replied.

Hearing that Zhang Chen would let him leave, Shen Yijun felt a sense of joy in his heart. As long as he was not constantly with Zhang Chen, he could find a way to get rid of his control.

“Do not attempt to remove the blood seed in your body. If you take any action to remove it, the blood seed will destroy your five organs and drain your blood,” Zhang Chen warned.

“Even if you have a way to instantly kill the blood seed, it will leave a blood curse in your body, and you will face my endless pursuit in the future.”

Zhang Chen knew that after the other party left, he would definitely try to find a way to remove the control. Therefore, he explained the situation to deter any reckless action.

The human heart was complex, unlike the mindless puppets. With their own thoughts, they needed to be guarded against at all times when kept close. It was better to send them away.

Shen Yijun’s face turned pale, but he forced a smile and said, “I have pledged loyalty to my lord and would never think of removing your control.”

Zhang Chen didn’t believe him. This was just an experiment to see if he could use a sentient Blood God Seed to control a cultivator.

If a Blood God Son at the ninth level of Qi Refinement could control a cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, it would be extremely cost-effective.

Seeing that Zhang Chen did not speak, Shen Yijun cautiously asked, “Sir, should I go and inquire immediately?”

Zhang Chen nodded and said, “Before you go, give me your storage bag.”

Shen Yijun’s smile froze. Although he was extremely unwilling, he could only take off his storage bag and hand it over with both hands.

Zhang Chen took the storage bag and checked it with his divine sense.

With Shen Yijun’s ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation and his business of robbing others, he was quite wealthy among the itinerant cultivators, and now Zhang Chen was taking advantage of him.

He put the valuable items into his own storage bag, leaving only a dozen or so spirit stones and some worthless items.

“Remember to report back to me in half a year near the Blood God Sect.” Zhang Chen tossed the storage bag back and turned into a blood light before disappearing.

Looking at the disappearing blood light and feeling the discomfort in his body, Shen Yijun looked dispirited with a complicated expression.

In the marketplace of the Bone Hall at the bottom of the pit, there was a shop that sold demonic techniques.

The shopkeeper looked at the person at the door in surprise. “Why are you back again, Fellow Daoist?”

“I want to buy a few more cultivation techniques.” After obtaining the ‘financing’ of a few criminals, Zhang Chen planned to buy more demonic techniques.

“Fellow Daoist, please come in.” The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

As he walked in, Zhang Chen asked, “Do you have any spells that can control cultivators?”

The shopkeeper paused for a moment and whispered, “That is a forbidden technique, it is not allowed to be sold in the marketplace.”

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes. “Does that mean you have it here?”

The shopkeeper shook his head. “Only the sects can master the forbidden techniques. Even if we have them, we dare not sell them, but we have another way to control cultivators.”

Zhang Chen thought he needed to pay more money, but it turned out to be another way, so he asked, “What way?”

The shopkeeper spat out a word, ‘Gu!’, a magical worm that could be used in spellcasting.

“That’s right, using gu worms to control other cultivators.” The shopkeeper began to explain, “In addition to the orthodox and demonic paths, there are all sorts of miscellaneous paths, and gu cultivation is one of the miscellaneous paths.

“In gu cultivation, there is a special type of gu worm that can parasitize on the divine soul, divided into mother and child gu worms. The mother gu worm parasitizes on one’s own divine soul, while the child gu worm parasitizes on the divine soul of other cultivators.

“Just a thought, and the child gu worm will devour the parasitized cultivator’s divine soul until it completely consumes it, and the process will make the parasitized cultivator suffer unbearable pain, thereby achieving the control effect.

“It’s just that these gu worms are difficult to cultivate, so the price is relatively high. Do you need them, fellow Daoist?”

At first, Zhang Chen was tempted, but the act of letting the mother gu parasite on his own soul made him hesitate.

From the perspective of spells and techniques, he had seen too many with malicious intent.

Who could be sure that this mother Gu was not a child Gu of another Gu?

Just like the Blood God Sect, with layers of exploitation and control over a large number of cultivators, they might be helping others and sacrificing themselves.

This was not a cultivation technique or spell. The modifier could not help him eliminate the side effects.

Under the shopkeeper’s eager gaze, Zhang Chen shook his head, “No, let’s just look at the techniques.”

“Okay.” The disappointment on the shopkeeper’s face flashed by.

Not long after, Zhang Chen left with two more technique jade slips in his storage bag.

At the entrance of the shop, the shopkeeper watched Zhang Chen leave with a puzzled and solemn expression.

He had an agreement with those robbing cultivators that whoever he personally sent out of the store represented a wealthy background and was worth robbing.

And after a successful robbery, he could get a share of the benefits.

He only sent the customers out of the shop and did not do anything. He did not take any risks. It could be said to be a huge profit.

But strangely, the robbing cultivators were missing this time.

And their previous target was Zhang Chen.

Now that Zhang Chen had come again, and the robbing cultivators were missing, it was very likely that…

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper shuddered all over and quickly returned to the store, not planning to leave the market for the next 10 years.

On the other side, Zhang Chen was flying towards the Zhenluo Kingdom, thinking about the two techniques he had just purchased.

[Detected cultivation technique, Soul Searching Technique, forcibly taking others’ memories, this technique can only be used on souls weaker than oneself.]

[Side effects: With the accumulation of a large number of memories, it can lead to confusion and madness.]

[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]

[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]

In the future, when he killed people, he could use the Soul Searching Technique to obtain the other party’s spell techniques and hidden secrets.

Of course, the price of this Soul Searching Technique was also very high. It cost him 2,000 spirit stones.

[Detected cultivation technique, Great Grudge Curse Technique. Set up a special formation and use items that carry the other party’s aura as the eye of the formation to launch a curse against the opponent.]

[The richer the aura, the better the effect.]

[Side effects: Injuring enemies will cause great damage to yourself. While cursing the opponent, oneself will also receive the same backlash.] [Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…] [Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled..]
