White Sun Needles and Seventy-Two Transformations Insect Art

Chen Ganliu remembered this matter, not because Qiu Sheng had healing Spirit Pills from the Jade Purity Feather Ascension Tower lineage. Even if he had them, the man was heavily injured at the time and likely would have eaten them himself. How could he have left them behind?

He remembered this because among the few Magic Treasures stolen from the Jade Purity Feather Ascension Tower lineage, there was a set of White Sun Needles. These needles were extremely venomous, as thin as human hair. Once they entered the body, they would follow the True Qi, hiding in the apertures, specifically to destroy Spiritual Veins.

However, besides being used to defeat enemies, these needles could also be used to save people.

Their characteristic of being able to mix with True Qi and travel throughout the body made them the best Magic Treasure in the world for clearing meridians and expelling foreign True Qi. If one suffered internal injuries or had blocked True Qi, they could follow the True Qi and open up blocked passages.

In his previous life, Chen Ganliu lacked the ability to search for Qiu Sheng's place of demise near Plum Blossom Mountain. This life was different, with two crucial conditions.

First, he had met Yang Xuesheng, referring to the only daughter of Yang Shiyilang, a great demon of Jinyun Mountain, as his junior grandaunt.

Although Jinyun Mountain was nowhere comparable to Plum Blossom Mountain, demons often interacted, and there would surely be a way to infiltrate Plum Blossom Mountain.

Second, the best way to infiltrate the demon race's sacred mountain was to transform oneself into a demon.

In his previous life, Chen Ganliu wouldn't even dare to think of such a thing. How could such transformation spells be easily obtained? But now, he held the White Emperor's Discourse Collection. This secret demonic cultivation method happened to contain a spell called the Seventy-Two Transformations Insect Art.

This spell was extremely difficult to cultivate, with a very high threshold, yet it was only a minor, low-grade art.

Without the cultivation of Qi Refining level eight for Qi Refining Transformation, one could not use it at will. Even with profound cultivation and successful practice, one could only transform into various demonic insects. When transforming into insects, due to their light and small bodies, their magical power would drop by several major levels, making them useless in Magical Combat.

Chen Ganliu planned to use it to conceal his identity, and this technique was sufficient. He only needed to cultivate demonic energy to claim to be a demon and not be recognized by his "own kind."

Actually, the distinction between humans and demons in this world had subtle differences from Earth.

On Earth, humans are humans, and demons are animals, plants, or even strange objects that have cultivated.

In this world, cultivators use the righteous path, possessing spiritual energy. Demons cultivate demonic methods, possessing turbid, impure energy. The standard is the purity or impurity of the energy circulating within one's body.

Therefore, although Yang Xuesheng was from Jinyun Mountain and the only daughter of the great demon Yang Shiyilang, within the immortal sects, she would face some discrimination but was still regarded as a proper cultivator by the immortal sect disciples, not as a demon.

However, if an ordinary person, without demonic bloodline or being non-human, did not cultivate the righteous path but specialized in demonic methods, possessing turbid, impure energy, they would be considered a demon.

Among cultivators, there are Dao cultivators, Demonic Cultivators, and Evil Cultivators, but no "Demon Cultivators," only demons.

Regardless of whether one is human or an object, anyone who cultivates demonic methods is a demon.

Chen Ganliu got up, thinking to himself, "This path is somewhat feasible, and I don't know when my Senior Sister will come to visit Master. I can use this opportunity to slip away."

"It's just that my cultivation is still too low. If I leave now, it will be full of danger."

"I'll wait until my Condensing Qi into Apertures is complete and I've cultivated new Spiritual Veins before I set off to try my luck."

"I hope Master and Senior Sister will be alright during this time."

Chen Ganliu sighed slightly. Although he worried about his Master and Senior Sister, his cultivation was limited, and he couldn't do anything about it.

After Yu Qinghong taught him the complete orthodox Green Leaf Spirit Talisman and the method for cultivating Natal Spirit Talismans, she disappeared again, likely going to gather herbs for their Master.

Chen Ganliu secluded himself daily for arduous cultivation, wanting to first condense the thirty-six Green Leaf Spirit Talismans into his apertures.

One should know that each Green Leaf Spirit Talisman condensed into an aperture could generate a trace of green spiritual energy, which was immensely beneficial for cultivation.

After Chen Ganliu returned to Dragon Cloud Cave, he gradually realized that his Master's condition might be very dire. This was because his Senior Sister had visited twice already, but neither the Junior Sister nor the Master had appeared.

During the third visit, Nan Shiheng did not leave. She waited outside Dragon Cloud Cave for half a day, just in time for the Junior Sister to return. The two chatted briefly outside the cave. Nan Shiheng did not enter but handed Yu Qinghong a gourd of Spirit Pills before leaving on her Golden Radiance.

When Yu Qinghong returned to the cave, she didn't ask why he hadn't greeted her. Her face was very haggard, and her complexion was extremely poor. Although she hadn't reached the point of sighing, the dejected look could not be concealed.

Chen Ganliu dared not ask his Junior Sister for guidance on the Dao. He merely comforted Yu Qinghong a few words, assuring her that he had been well-behaved and caused no trouble. Yu Qinghong delivered the medicine to their Master and then left in a hurry.

Although he had narrowly avoided another encounter with his Senior Sister, Chen Ganliu's sense of crisis only increased. However, the time was not yet right to leave the Green Leaf Sect.

Chen Ganliu had also visited his Master in the back cave a few times, but Yun Susu had only given the eldest disciple the incantation to enter the quiet room. He couldn't get in at all and could only sit there for half a day before returning dejectedly.

This morning, Chen Ganliu was cultivating the Azure Emperor Jia Yi Art when suddenly a spiritual aperture loosened. His thirtieth aperture broke through, and another Green Leaf Spirit Talisman fell in, firmly occupying the aperture and generating wisps of True Qi.

Chen Ganliu stopped cultivating the Azure Emperor Jia Yi Art and switched to the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method, refining the wisps of spiritual energy.

These seven wisps of spiritual energy, after purification and removal of impurities, were the most refined spiritual energy condensed. Cultivating them caused no further leakage of demonic energy.

Chen Ganliu knew that it would still take a considerable amount of time to refine these seven wisps of spiritual energy into Spiritual Veins, but he was not anxious. After refining for two hours, he switched to another one. When he was refining the fifth wisp of spiritual energy, it suddenly twitched.

Chen Ganliu was startled and thought to himself, "What is this omen?"

"Why is there no relevant record in the White Emperor's Discourse Collection?"

Chen Ganliu cultivated alone without the guidance of a master or elder, which had cultivated a habit of caution. He hurriedly stopped cultivating and bypassed this wisp of spiritual energy to cultivate the remaining two, neither of which caused any issues.

He mused to himself, "My recent cultivation progress is slightly faster than expected, but I cannot be too hasty."

"My Senior Sister visits every five days. According to the schedule, she should be coming today. I might as well stop cultivating for a day. First, to calm my mind, and second, to avoid danger."

Chen Ganliu made up his mind, got up, and walked out of Dragon Cloud Cave, deciding to go and see the disciples who had entered the sect at the same time and had lived together previously.

Although he didn't really want to have much to do with these people, since he had apprenticed himself to the Green Leaf Sect, he had to go with the flow to some extent.

As soon as he stepped out of Dragon Cloud Cave, Chen Ganliu caught sight of a streak of Golden Radiance descending from mid-air. He thought to himself, "Why has Senior Sister come early this time?"

He dared not look up, nor did he quicken his pace. He remained composed, but he heard a very familiar voice call out from behind him, "Little Daoist, are you also here to visit Dragon Cloud Cave?"
