One person: I have a natural gourd vine inside me.

Page 9

Seeing this, Chen Xiao stomped his right foot on the ground and instantly disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, the Japanese soldier had not yet reacted and was about to continue searching for people.

But suddenly, I felt a figure appear beside me.

"Iron Mountain Damn!"

Immediately afterwards, a childish voice rang out, and then the Japanese soldier felt a terrifying force coming from his chest.

"Click...click...click..."

"Boom..."

Instantly, the Japanese soldier was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, he slammed heavily against the stone wall, his chest caved in.

His internal organs were clearly shattered from the impact, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao curled his lip, casually straightened his clothes, and said:

"Hehe, you fool, this demon sword is indeed quite interesting."

Unfortunately, you're a fool. Your strength is insufficient, and your life cultivation is frighteningly poor.

Even with this demonic sword in hand, you're still just a fool with insufficient strength.

If it weren't for that demonic sword, I could have slapped you to death with one blow!

However, this demonic sword is indeed quite capable, as it allows you to use some special techniques.

This is no simple matter, it's really not simple at all!

But now that your bones are broken, what waves can you possibly make?

After saying that, Chen Xiao walked straight over to the guy.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Interesting, very interesting..."

Chen Xiao stroked his chin, then ignored the guy who was almost dead and grabbed the demon sword that had fallen to the ground.

However, just as Chen Xiao grasped the demon blade...

Suddenly, a force emanated from within.

That chilling aura actually headed straight for his upper dantian.

However, at that moment, the innate gourd vine within Chen Xiao's body suddenly emitted a light.

Immediately afterwards, the purple-gold gourd emitted a faint power.

In an instant, the dark figure was sucked into the purple-gold gourd without even having a chance to react.

At this moment, Chen Xiao, after realizing what was happening, curled his lip and said:

"Heh, I see. A soul? How interesting..."

Immediately, Chen Xiao conjured his own purple-gold gourd and looked inside.

However, when Chen Xiao looked over, he raised an eyebrow.

Inside, a soul essence the size of a pigeon's egg appeared.

"Wow, this thing is really something else!"

Then, Chen Xiao looked at the Japanese leader.

He then used the purple-gold gourd in his hand to collect it.

"Done..."

After speaking, Chen Xiao looked at the demon sword Hirumaru in his hand, frowned, stroked his chin, and said:

"The demon sword Hiruma, I should have destroyed that thing. That thing should be considered a sword spirit."

Now that the sword spirit is gone, it's basically just a slightly faster sword.

However, if I take it out directly, it could cause problems if someone finds out!

After all, those Japanese devils are still frantically searching for this thing. Otherwise, they could have interrupted it and put it directly into the treasure gourd!

Anyway, I don't need this kind of broken knife!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao acted immediately, went to the side, and then slashed at the stone wall.

"Crack...bang..."

Chapter 11 The Demon Blade Breaks, the Imprisoned Soul Releases, and a Gift is Received!

"Crack...bang..."

As the demon sword Hirumaru shattered, a stream of red energy immediately began to flow from within the blade.

However, it quickly vanished.

Immediately afterward, to Chen Xiao's astonishment, one after another stream of spiritual light flew out from inside, so numerous that it was enough to reach the level of the Dao.

Just as Chen Xiao was wondering, he saw those spiritual lights transform into one after another illusory image.

"No! That's not right, it's not a soul, it's not a real soul, it seems to be only a part of it!"

At this moment, all the souls bowed to Chen Xiao, nodded to him, and then disappeared into the world.

However, at that moment, a sliver of spiritual light fell into Chen Xiao's hand.

Instantly, many different cultivation techniques appeared in Chen Xiao's mind, numbering in the dozens.

Furthermore, there are many island nations' Yin-Yang techniques, swordsmanship, and so on.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Holy crap... this time... I've really hit the jackpot."

Those souls actually possessed so many cultivation techniques; when added together, there were nearly a hundred different kinds.

Before, I was worried that I didn't have enough resources, but now, wow, I'm really going to make a fortune.

It possesses methods from many sects, including the Tang Clan, the Buddhist Clan, the Four Great Families, the Shangqing Clan, and the Dragon Tiger Clan.

Even if it lacks a core element, it still has many methods.

All these scattered bits and pieces added together... tsk tsk tsk, this time, it's really... except that many of these are secret techniques or something like that.

If I use it later, the result... oh my god... this is not a good sign!

Although I'm not afraid of their retaliation, there are just too many problems. This brat killed so many people back then, and imprisoned so many souls within this demonic sword.

No wonder that little Japanese devil searched for it for decades without giving up.

If this gets out, I'll have obtained the methods of many of their sects.

Good heavens! The whole world is against us!

I don't want to go around killing people, and to do so indiscriminately.

Although my cultivation method can lead to the true realm of immortals.

However, in this world, it is quite difficult to cultivate to this level.

Simply seeking within oneself requires the assistance of a large number of rare and precious natural treasures; otherwise, even if they drain me dry, I still won't be able to become an immortal!

Fortunately, I have the gourd vine, which can continuously absorb moonlight, and the purple-gold gourd, which can help me solve many problems.

However, this will still take time and require a lot of resources. If we offend the major sects of the supernatural world because of these resources, we will only be asking for trouble!

It seems I'll have to be more careful with the time I have left.

Modify these secret techniques, or combine them appropriately.

Finally, it must become a unique supernatural power or protective technique!

Fortunately, I have the "Purple Gold Immortal Scripture," and I have this immortal scripture in my hands.

"With the help of this immortal scripture, we can modify those secret techniques, and even if it takes more time, it's still achievable!"

After speaking, Chen Xiao's gaze fell on the demon sword Hirumaru, which had been broken into three pieces.

At this point, the demon sword Hirumaru no longer possessed its original power; all that remained was that its material was slightly better.

"Perhaps, when I get back, I can completely melt down this demon sword Hirumaru, along with the sword I got before."

If I forge a Tang sword, I can also learn some swordsmanship.

Otherwise, it would be such a waste to use such good material!

After saying that, Chen Xiao threw the broken blade into his basket and then looked at the skeleton.

The corpse had completely turned into bones, and there was a deep knife scar on its forehead.

"Was he killed by a single blow to the head? That's really... a quick and easy death."

In my opinion, they should be arrested and executed by being cut into a thousand pieces, skinned alive, and stuffed into straw!

After saying that, Chen Xiao went to the side, jumped up, and leaped up through the hole above.

However, by the time Chen Xiao arrived at the top, the sun had already risen.

It illuminated the surrounding darkness, making it bright.

However, the entrance to the cave he was in was different; it was blocked by a lot of vegetation, so it was completely invisible from the outside.

"They've kept it well hidden, but that's fine too!"

After saying that, Chen Xiao left and continued searching in the old forest, collecting all kinds of aged medicinal herbs into his Purple Gold Gourd.

Those wild beasts were also collected into the Purple Gold Gourd and transformed into essence of qi and blood.

Two days later, Chen Xiao left the old forest with a basket on his back.

.......................................

Back in the village, Chen Xiao resumed his original life.

I helped the old village chief with some things and, incidentally, provided medical care for the villagers.

The rest of the time was spent diligently cultivating.

And he is still constantly studying the many techniques and secret methods he has obtained this time.

In particular, Chen Xiao continuously incorporated his martial arts skills into the Twelve-Road Tan Leg and Bajiquan styles he had learned.

As for other secret techniques and methods, Chen Xiao is constantly cultivating and comprehending them.

...........................

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

During these three years, Chen Xiao studied and practiced all the secret techniques and cultivation methods he had obtained.

Furthermore, relying on his own immortal scriptures, he continuously modified those skills, and combined them with the Confucian, Buddhist, Taoist, and other schools of thought he had collected over the years.

He finally mastered, modified, and integrated them into a unique cultivation method of his own.

Especially after three years of cultivation, his strength has undergone a tremendous change compared to three years ago.

In particular, he had cultivated the "Purple Gold Immortal Scripture" to the first level.

The Purple Gold Immortal Scripture has nine levels in total, and the first three levels are for those who cultivate before becoming immortals.

The six levels behind the middle one can only be seen by those who have entered the realm of immortals.

However, even these first three levels were incredibly beneficial to Chen Xiao.

These three levels involve cultivating the physical body, innate Qi, and one's soul.

The first level focuses on cultivating the physical body, supplemented by the cultivation of Qi and the soul.

The second level focuses on cultivating the internal energy. However, at this stage, the innate energy is transformed into magical power.

The third level, however, is primarily about the soul, which eventually transforms into the primordial spirit.

Only after mastering all three can one achieve the unity of the three elements and attain the status of an immortal.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, had cultivated for more than five years, and even with a large amount of qi and blood essence, he had only barely reached the late stage of the first level.

However, even though he was only at the late stage of the first level, Chen Xiao's physical cultivation was terrifying.
