Passing Glimpse

"Tathagata Force is applied to the body, it greatly increases the body's defensive capabilities, making it indestructible and causing all evil to retreat."

As Lin Qing spoke, he drew his Waist Saber and slashed at his own arm. However, the blade didn't even leave a white mark; instead, it was knocked away by a tremendous force.

"It's really tough," Lin Qing remarked.

"No need to try. With your Tathagata Force Possession, ordinary weapons can't hurt you at all. Furthermore, even the fists of ordinary Pill Embrace Martial Artist can hardly cause any damage to you." Wang Ling suddenly used his Lightness Skill to descend from the sky.

Lin Qing was so focused that he hadn't noticed Wang Ling's arrival until now. He snapped out of Tathagata Force, withdrew his "Buddha's Power," and his skin returned to normal.

"My lord," Lin Qing said, bowing slightly.

Wang Ling glanced at Lin Qing, reached out and grabbed him, pressing his hand on Lin Qing's shoulder. He squeezed it, only to find that the muscles were like cast iron, completely immovable.

"Entering the Pill Embrace Realm in March is impressive; your progress is rapid. How far have you progressed in the Three Lives Tathagata Visualization Method Technique?"

"I haven't quite Spirit Settling yet," Lin Qing said.

In reality, it wasn't just that he wasn't Spirit Settling, but that there was basically no change.

This Visualization Method was extremely difficult to cultivate. Even with Exceptional martial Talent, the progress was as slow as a tortoise crawl, so Lin Qing decisively gave up.

He felt that to learn this Visualization Method, one either needed to further improve their martial arts Talent or directly copy it from someone else.

Practicing on your own is just too slow.

He had heard that Visualization Method were different from martial arts, and there were very few types. The Three Lives Tathagata Visualization Method was the orthodox method officially recognized by the Great Yuan Dynasty, and more than 70% of those who cultivated their spirit and soul learned this Visualization Method.

Therefore, obtaining this Visualization Method from a corpse is not as difficult as one might imagine.

After listening, Wang Ling nodded slightly. "The Visualization Method is inherently very difficult to learn; it's normal not to have even scratched the surface."

As he spoke, he sat down on a chair and said softly, "I've been in the Prefectural City recently, hunting down the Black Dragon Gang's escaped leaders. Song Heilong, with the help of the Yinyuan Sect Yuan Sect, has escaped from the Soul-Calming Office multiple times and committed a lot of murder. Hmph, this villain is hateful. Sooner or later he will fall into my hands, and I will make him wish he were dead."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing suddenly recalled the scene he had just witnessed.

"My lord, Song Heilong is very likely hiding in Wanghai Tower."

"How credible is the intelligence?" Wang Ling raised an eyebrow.

"I cannot confirm whether it is true or false," Lin Qing replied.

"Yes, whether it's true or false, if there are clues, we have to investigate. I'll handle this." Wang Ling nodded, his gaze then falling on Lin Qing's shoulder. "How many tens of thousands of pounds do you have in Arm Strength right now?"

"More than 50,000 jin," Lin Qing said, being a bit conservative.

"Fifty thousand catties," Wang Ling murmured. "Ordinary Pill Embrace Realm Martial Artist weigh over twenty thousand catties. Your direct combat ability is probably stronger than that of an ordinary late-stage Pill Embrace Realm Martial Artist."

"However, you still need to be careful. After entering the Pill Embrace Realm, the Lightness Skill Hardening Art and other Combat Arts you learned before will need to be replaced. They are too weak and can no longer provide you with any help. You still need to continue practicing the combat techniques of the Tathagata Fist Manual Combat Arts. This combat Combat Arts is extremely profound, and even someone at my level can use it." Wang Ling instructed again.

"Yes, sir!"

"The Prefectural City has been quite turbulent lately, so be careful and don't wander around. Take this Lightness Skill with you; if you can learn it, your self-defense ability will be greatly improved, enough to be useful even at the Pill Embrace Realm or even the True Gang Realm." Wang Ling stood up, took out a silk scroll from his robes, and tossed it onto the table.

Lin Qing glanced at it and saw that it was Lightness Skill called "Passing Glimpse".

"Thank you, sir!"

Wanghai Tower)

In a dimly lit room on the top floor, several red candles flickered on the table, casting a dim, eerie glow. On the bed opposite, Deng Qianyu, draped in a red veil, lay languidly, her private parts partially revealed, making the many Black-Clad Martial Artists in the room parched.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Song Heilong walked in expressionlessly.

"Sir, you were looking for me!"

"There are more than a dozen children at the Chen Family School in East City Alley. I need you to bring them all back within half a month." Deng Qianyu twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers, her voice soft and seductive as she spoke.

Song Heilong's expression changed slightly. "My lord, I have been making frequent moves in the past three months, Prefectural City is in a state of panic. That scoundrel Wang Ling is leading his men to hunt me down all over the city. Making a move now would be too dangerous. We might not even get the child, and we could lose our lives as well."

"Your Black Dragon Gang Martial Artist are nothing but a rabble. They're dead, so be it. The Thousand Infant Banquet is of utmost importance. What? You dare disobey my orders?" A murderous glint flashed in Deng Qianyu's eyes.

"I wouldn't dare!"

"I won't let you risk your life for nothing. I will lead people to create chaos in the Prefectural City and create an opportunity for you to make your move. If you succeed, I will bestow upon you the Thousand Evils Divine Art," Deng Qianyu said leisurely.

"Thank you, sir!" A fiery glint flashed in Song Heilong's eyes.

He has been stuck at the Pill Embrace Realm for several years. Due to his limited Talent, there is no possibility of further improvement in his martial arts realm. If he wants to become stronger, he either needs to cultivate Combat Arts or low-level martial arts to accumulate strength and transform his physique, or he needs to learn Visualization Method to Evil-Incorporation into the Soul.

Thousand Evils is an extremely advanced Visualization Method of the Yinyuan Sect. If one masters Major Mastery, one can worship multiple Evil Spirits and receive blessings, which is exactly what he desires.

"I need to make preparations for this matter, so I'll take my leave now!" Song Heilong said, bowing as he withdrew.

Three days later.

The sky was dark and shrouded in mist and rain.

Lin Qing was walking home from the Cremation Ground courtyard, accompanied by Wei Dong and Lin Shurou.

"Sister Lin, this is a donkey meat sandwich I specially bought for you from Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. It tastes delicious, please try it." Wei Dong said with concern.

"Thank you, Brother Wei Dong. You're such a considerate and good man," Lin Shurou said in a sweet, gentle voice.

"Hahaha." Wei Dong scratched his head and laughed heartily, then asked, "Lin Qing, do you want some? Want a bite?"

Lin Qing didn't turn around, but simply said calmly, "You eat!"

Over the past three months, Wei Dong has been trying to curry favor with Lin Shurou whenever he has the chance, and the two have quickly become close.

Lin Shurou kept giving out friend cards, Wei Dong was completely infatuated with her every day, so Lin Qing couldn't say anything.

However, he had no feelings for Lin Shurou; this "tea girl" would probably make him cry for a long time if he punched her.

Splash!

Suddenly, a large Constables, swords drawn and with solemn expressions, hurried past the crowd.

Lin Qing noticed their solemn expressions and felt a slight stirring in his heart, because he recognized one of them as Li Ping.

"Brother Li, what happened?"

"So it's Brother Lin. That Yinyuan Sect Yin Yuan Sect can't even let people have a moment's peace on a rainy day. They say the Red Leaf Tower is on fire and some demons are causing bloodshed everywhere." Li Ping paused, his attention had been so focused that he hadn't even seen Lin Qing passing by. Only now did he come to his senses.

"Red Leaf Tower?" Lin Qing frowned. "This is one of the largest brothels in the Inner City, owned by the Golden Family. The Yinyuan Sect is becoming increasingly arrogant."

"Yes, I've heard that the Yinyuan Sect seems to be plotting something big in secret. In any case, you should all be careful during this time," Li Ping said.

"Old Li, don't just stand there, hurry up! What if my little sister Qing Lan is killed if we're too late?" A Constable was running ahead called out from a distance.
