I Never Expected You to Force Me to Use This Move!
As a 300-year-old Onion Spirit, she has an innate sensitivity to rare and precious materials, far surpassing that of human cultivators!
So she quickly rushed towards the site of the explosion.
Although her cultivation level was low, she was, after all, a demon who had lived for three hundred years, so her speed was not slow.
She quickly arrived near the site of the explosion.
At the epicenter of the explosion, a young-looking human cultivator was clutching a dark, unremarkable stone. A faint protective layer emanated from the young cultivator's body.
"Human cultivators?" The Onion Spirit Time Freeze and cautiously hid to the side. After the incident with Monk Jiudeng, she had an instinctive fear of human cultivators.
As soon as Song Shuhang grasped the black gemstone, his body began to change involuntarily!
The moment his fingers touched the black gem, a strange power surged from the gem into his body.
This power is neither Blood Qi and blood, nor true qi, nor spiritual power; it does not belong to the cultivation system, yet it can still affect cultivators.
Over the past month, Song Shuhang had enjoyed a lot of good fortune and had many fortuitous encounters while staying by Venerable White's side. His Third Aperture, the 'Nose Aperture,' had already accumulated enough energy and was eager to break through, just waiting for an opportunity.
When the non-cultivation-related power from the black gem surged into his body, it immediately began to affect his 'acupoints'.
Subsequently, this force began to weaken the bottleneck in the Nose Aperture.
The bottleneck of a cultivator's 'Nose Aperture' can be seen as a thick iron door. The cultivator needs to constantly accumulate Blood Qi power in the orifices. When the qi is full and overflows, the cultivator can use the power of Blood Qi to forcefully break through this door.
Now, under the influence of the strange power emanating from this black gemstone, the originally solid iron door of the bottleneck was continuously weakened, turning from an iron door into a wooden door... and finally, even becoming a paper door!
A paper door that can be smashed to pieces with the slightest bump!
This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it!
Song Shuhang took out a 'Blood Qi Pill' that he always carried with him and swallowed it. Then, he began to move nimbly across the terraced hillside.
By combining the "Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles" body movement with the "Vajra Foundation Fist," and further aided by the "Unmoving Vajra Body," one can adjust the Blood Qi within their body during practice.
After that, all the excess Blood Qi are continuously injected into the Third Aperture, the Nose Aperture.
The Spirit Ghost within Song Shuhang's Heart Aperture sensed his actions and proactively fed back a pure stream of Blood Qi, which flowed into Song Shuhang's Nose Aperture, adding strength to his breakthrough.
After completing three rounds of the Basic Vajra Fist Method, the Blood Qi and blood in the Nose Aperture accumulated sufficiently and began to overflow.
The 'acupoint bottleneck' that was originally difficult to break through was easily overcome at this moment.
The Third Aperture acupoint, the Nose Aperture, is open!
A cool breeze was inhaled by Song Shuhang.
When a cultivator's first acupoint, the Heart Aperture, is opened, it signifies true foundation building and entering the ranks of cultivators.
The Second Aperture acupoint, the Eye Aperture, once opened, can enhance a cultivator's vision and dynamic visual acuity.
Opening the Nose Aperture can also greatly enhance a cultivator's sense of smell.
However, while enhanced vision brings many benefits, a sudden increase in the sense of smell brings a host of problems.
Before a cultivator reaches the Third-Grade Realm, they cannot freely control their sense of smell. At this time, if a 'Stench Pill' were to fall next to Song Shuhang, the stench would be amplified a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold, enough to make Song Shuhang faint from the stench.
Of course, there are many benefits as well. In addition to the enhanced sense of smell... once the Nose Aperture are opened, every breath a cultivator takes will inhale the 'spiritual energy' that is free in the world. Part of it will be transformed into Blood Qi and blood and stored in the Nose Aperture, while part of it will be integrated into the body to enhance one's physical strength.
In other words, once the Nose Aperture are opened, every breath becomes a form of cultivation!
This feeling is absolutely fantastic!
The only drawback is that Song Shuhang didn't awaken his 'Nose Aperture talent' this time. But don't worry, he still has his mouth and ears, so there's still a chance to unlock another talent ability.
Opening his eyes, Song Shuhang a deep, greedy breath, wanting to inhale as much spiritual energy as possible from the world!
The next moment...
"Ugh... It stinks!" Song Shuhang gagged, the smell he inhaled mixed with the acrid stench of a tractor explosion and fire.
At that moment, he felt as if his nose was pressed against the source of the acrid smell, and he was taking a deep breath.
Having your Nose Aperture open has many benefits, but it also has many inconveniences.
Song Shuhang sighed inwardly.
He weighed the black gemstone in his hand. At this point, he was almost certain that this black stone was the 'Heavenly Enlightenment Stone' that Senior White and True Lord Yellow Mountain had mentioned.
Simply by staying near this stone, Song Shuhang could feel the bottlenecks in his internal acupoints becoming easier to break. Moreover, just by looking at this stone, Song Shuhang found that a constant stream of chaotic information appeared in his mind.
He couldn't describe these feelings in words; they were a kind of understanding.
After these insights entered his mind, he found that his understanding of the Basic Vajra Fist Method, The Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles, The Unmoving Vajra Body, and The True Self Meditation Scripture had deepened considerably.
If I were to use these techniques again, I believe I could develop even more variations.
"Is fortune found in danger?" Song Shuhang murmured, gazing at the horrific scene of explosions around him.
It turns out that the calamity of the 'meteorite' falling from the sky was aimed at Daoist Cloudmist.
Was this explosion a calamity specifically aimed at him? And the reward was this 'Enlightenment Stone'?
"Breakthrough? He broke through just by holding this gem?" The Onion Spirit's eyes were shining—if she could obtain this gem, she imagined the scene of her realm breaking through rapidly.
We must get our hands on this dark, unremarkable rock.
At the same time, she began to make an estimate in her mind.
"This human junior cultivator just opened his Nose Aperture passages... while I've had Nose Aperture open for decades. Besides, I've cultivated for three hundred years. I can win!" After thinking it over in his mind, the Onion Spirit felt that he could definitely crush this human junior cultivator.
Even more coincidentally, the energy of the 'Armor Talisman' on Song Shuhang's body was completely exhausted, and the Armor Talisman's defense disappeared.
Great opportunity!
The Onion Spirit cautiously approached Song Shuhang.
After getting close enough, she suddenly sprang up, her hands flashing out in a series of Heavenly Dragon Temple Basic Finger Technique, and attacked Song Shuhang.
Her fingers, sharp as swords, pierced several vital points on Song Shuhang's back. A single strike would render Song Shuhang immobile. Then, she could happily snatch the black stone.
"Well done!" But then, Song Shuhang did not play by the rules. He shouted and turned around to throw a punch without any mercy. 'Foundation Fist Form One' was like a heavy cannon, blasting towards the attacker.
In fact, Shuhang had long since noticed someone sneaking close to him—his sense of smell was heightened after his Nose Aperture were opened.
The figure approaching him, though cautious, made no attempt to conceal its presence. From afar, Song Shuhang could smell the strong aroma of scallions emanating from the other person!
The Onion Spirit was surprised that Song Shuhang reacted so quickly—she actually had no combat experience whatsoever. Three hundred years ago, when she first 'completed her training and descended the mountain,' she encountered the Monk Jiudeng.
He was imprisoned for a full year before being released.
In combat, she was a complete novice, even worse than Song Shuhang.
Seeing Song Shuhang's punch coming, she gritted her teeth and actually used the 'Heavenly Dragon Temple Basic Finger Technique' to collide with Song Shuhang's fist.
The finger techniques emphasize dexterity, primarily using tapping and thrusting motions.
Boxing emphasizes power and ferocity; direct, head-on attacks are the most effective.
The Onion Spirit completely uses its own weakness to attack the enemy's strength.
As their fists collided, Song Shuhang felt the power of his heart, eyes, and Third Aperture becoming one, unleashing its full potential with exhilarating ease.
The Onion Spirit was punched and sent flying... falling to the ground.
Song Shuhang stared at the Onion Spirit on the ground and blurted out subconsciously, "So weak!"
So weak, so weak, so weak!
The two words kept echoing in Onion Spirit's mind.
She was instantly enraged.
"Little cultivator, you're courting death!" The Onion Spirit's gaze sharpened.
At the same time, a powerful force surged forth from her, a force that even affected this small area, and a cold wind swept towards Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang's hair stood on end. He had encountered a similar power before, having experienced a similar power from Doudou —it was demonic power!
"Scared now, you little human cultivator?" the Onion Spirit said coldly. "I am a great demon who has cultivated for three hundred years. How dare you defy me? You're simply courting death!"
A great demon who has cultivated for three hundred years?
To be honest, Song Shuhang was genuinely startled. The surging demonic power emanating from the other party was no fake; this immense demonic power was indeed quite frightening!
"If you don't want to die, hand over the stone in your hand. I'm in a good mood today, so I might spare your life," the Onion Demon said through gritted teeth.
Song Shuhang didn't answer; he took a deep breath...
He had even suspected that he was mentally ill. When he was assassinated by the Altar Master's subordinates, although he was inevitably afraid, he also felt extremely excited.
Now, his irritation symptoms have recurred.
"If you want to take the stone, then take it by your own ability!" Song Shuhang reached out and quickly drew Thunder Talisman in his palm with his qi and Blood Qi.
Then, he shouted in a deep voice, "Palm Thunder!"
Clap clap clap!
Lightning Burst forth from his palm!
When the Onion Spirit saw the Palm Thunder explode in Song Shuhang's hand, it was startled. "Holy crap!"
When did the Palm Thunder something even First-Grade cultivator could use?
This time, they've gone too far again.
Because she was just bluffing. Although she possessed three hundred years of demonic power, she actually practiced Buddhist Sect techniques.
Her demonic power is only meant to scare people; she can't actually use it.
What? You're saying she trained in Monster Organization for a long time?
Yes, she only learned a minor technique for 'accumulating demonic power', as well as those ridiculous 'two hundred skills necessary for a demon to survive'.
He hasn't learned anything else, not even a basic demonic spell.
"I never expected that after hundreds of years, you would still force me to use this move." The Onion Spirit stared at the Palm Thunder in Song Shuhang's hand and said coldly.
The next moment, she decisively used a skill— Five Hundred Ways to Surrender When You Can't Defeat a Human Cultivator!
