How long have you been here?
Following the coded message left by Zhou Xueyi's men, Wang Hao arrived at an inn and met his third stand-in.
That's right, the third stand-in is none other than Yan Shisan. Although this stand-in isn't particularly handsome, he's not bad-looking either, and it seems he's been waiting here for quite some time.
"Reporting to the leader, we have been here for half a month."
The stand-in man replied respectfully, behind him stood ten women in tight-fitting clothes with cold expressions. These were all acquaintances of Wang Hao, the ten women he had rescued on Peach Blossom Island, and they were absolutely loyal.
"Was it after my last trip to Mount Wudang?"
Wang Hao understood and inwardly gave Zhou Xueyi a thumbs up.
The timing was perfect. Last time, when he appeared in the world using Chunyangzi's disguise, Shaomu Temple sent many powerful people over, which reduced the risk of his clone being exposed prematurely. At the same time, they could make a fuss about this.
"Your cultivation levels are all quite good. Did you bring the animals you selected?"
After a moment's thought, Wang Hao turned his gaze to the ten people, including the stand-in.
These ten people are different from the last one; their cultivation has all reached the First-Rate level, and their foundations are solid, allowing them to undergo bloodline fusion Awakening.
However, according to the letter that Zhou Xueyi just sent, these ten girls and that substitute are all people with deep-seated grievances. They don't want to use the Blood Sacrifice Instruction to Awakening, but instead want to try the most primitive Awakening method.
Although the process will be painful, the benefits will be substantial. At the very least, their Bloodline Divine Ability will be fully Awakening, far surpassing the Blood Sacrifice Instruction. For them, burdened with deep-seated grievances, this is the best option.
Upon hearing this, the eleven people said nothing more, and silently took out a jade bottle from their bosoms. Inside were the blood of the animal corresponding to their own element, which could be used to fuse Awakening.
Wang Hao didn't say much, then slipped out of the window, followed closely by his stand-in and the others, silently heading towards the nearby mountains.
Awakening Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability will inevitably cause some disturbance, which will be very inconvenient in the inn. Only in the mountains and forests can one truly unleash their potential.
This process was not difficult for Wang Hao. He used his Innate Divine Sense to refine the beast blood brought by these people, and then it depended on the Yi Li of these eleven people themselves.
Success is achieved if one can maintain the fusion Awakening without falling into a coma. If one falls into a coma midway, the fusion process will stop and cannot continue.
It's important to understand that while Wang Hao can assist in this fusion process, the most crucial factor is the Yi Li of these individuals themselves. Only by using their own true spiritual consciousness as guidance can they succeed.
If you stop halfway, although it's not exactly a complete waste of all your previous efforts, you can't continue. You'll have to switch to cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Instruction, which will undoubtedly reduce your potential considerably.
Fortunately, these people were all handpicked by Zhou Xueyi. They might be lacking in other aspects, but their willpower was absolutely strong, and they all managed to get through the fusion Awakening period.
Although everyone was exhausted by the end, no match for Zhu Ruoxue, they were indeed successful.
With the power of their Awakening Bloodline Power, everyone's recovery ability greatly increased. Before long, they all stood up energetically, their faces full of excitement and gratitude as they knelt on one knee to thank Wang Hao.
"Your mission is complete. You can leave now. Be careful on the road, and don't get spotted!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Wang Hao knew it was time for these people to leave, and it would be his turn to make his appearance.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now!"
The stand-in and the others nodded respectfully in agreement. The stand-in even took out a wig that had been prepared beforehand from his pocket and put it on his head to cover his shiny forehead.
That's right, this disguise mode features a bald head. After all, in his setting, the Demon Lord Yan Shisan is also a Buddhist practitioner and inherits the so-called Damo's Four Great Divine Arts, so naturally he has to look like a Buddhist Order inheritor.
Therefore, Wang Hao had already decided on this disguised image from the beginning.
"Oh! My beautiful hair!"
Touching his newly dyed hair, Wang Hao felt extremely depressed.
Although he designed the stunt double, he was still very reluctant to shave off his flowing hair.
However, he was also a decisive person. After lamenting, he decisively released his scalp pores, gently stroked his head with his palm, and all his beautiful hair fell out, revealing a shiny scalp.
Because the hair was broken directly from the root, and the pores were subsequently closed, it looked exceptionally shiny, much shinier than those of highly accomplished monks. One could tell at a glance that it belonged to a veteran monk.
" Amitabha Buddha! My current Dharma name is Saitama, and I am a monk who has chosen this path out of personal interest!"
After changing into a strange set of clothes that had been prepared beforehand, Wang Hao stared with dead fish eyes and chanted a Buddhist prayer.
That's right, his disguise is based on Saitama, the Bald Great Devil King from One- Superman, or the Caped Baldy- wearing Saitama.
Therefore, he specifically asked Zhou Xueyi to find someone who seemed lazy, unambitious, and had little presence as a stand-in.
Despite his formidable reputation and incredible achievements, Saitama, the bald-headed demon king, is quite inconspicuous when he's in a relaxed state. No one would consider him a martial arts master, and he wouldn't be taken seriously even if he were dressed in strange clothes.
So even though the stand-in stayed in the small town at the foot of Shaomu Temple Mountain for half a month, he still went unnoticed.
Twisting his neck, Wang Hao turned and went back to the inn, preparing his plan to show off tomorrow. He needed to at least attract Shaomu Temple's attention, otherwise staying here like this wouldn't lead to anything.
"Baldy, what brings you so late...?"
The waiter, carrying the lantern and patrolling, looked at Wang Hao, who had just returned, with suspicion.
"I've already said that I have a Dharma name, Saitama. I'm a monk who becomes a monk out of interest, not Baldy!"
Wang Hao corrected him with his dead fish eyes, appearing very serious, but his listless, dead fish-like appearance made it impossible for anyone to take him seriously.
"I understand, I understand. Grandmaster, you're a monk who became a monk out of interest, and your Dharma name is Saitama. Now, can you tell me what you've been doing?"
The waiter waved his hand impatiently, his gaze towards Wang Hao also showing some wariness.
People who are out and about late at night are generally not good people, and this guy is definitely a penniless scumbag; he might even be working as a gigolo.
"I'm going to pee!"
Still staring with dead fish eyes, Wang Hao casually replied, then pushed open the dilapidated door and went inside. There were no tables, chairs, or beds inside, only half a room full of dry firewood and a simple bed made of piled-up firewood with only a worn-out straw mat on it.
This is the guest room in Wang Hao's disguise mode.
There's no way around it, that's just the character he's given. After all, while the bald-headed demon king Saitama is incredibly strong, he's also extremely frugal, often running around trying to find discounted items at supermarkets. He's a rather stingy character.
Since he had decided to imitate Saitama's appearance, he naturally wouldn't overlook this advantage, so he specifically instructed Zhou Xueyi on how to do so.
Therefore, in order to save money, the stand-in could only live in the cheapest woodshed.
Of course, the girls who came to cooperate stayed in the best guest rooms; after all, women always deserve some preferential treatment.
"Bah! A monk who's just doing it for fun? He can't even afford a room at an inn, what kind of monk is he!"
The waiter spat fiercely, his expression full of disdain.
He had absolutely no liking for this guest. The guy had eaten a huge meal and then insisted on staying at their place, but claimed he had no money, which infuriated them.
Because this area was within the territory of Shaomu Temple, they dared not offend the monks. In addition, the other party's attitude was acceptable, so the innkeeper gave them a woodshed and a job chopping wood to settle the debt.
But this guy eats a lot; he eats the equivalent of ten people. The money he earns from chopping firewood isn't even enough to cover his food expenses.
They thought this guy would leave in a few days, and he even said he was waiting for someone, and that the person he was waiting for would be here soon. But half a month has passed, and there's still no sign of him.
And judging from their posture, they intended to stay longer. Since the other party was a monk, they couldn't very well drive them away, so they could only reluctantly accept it.
Wang Hao, who was inside the woodshed, naturally heard the waiter's cursing, but he didn't pay any attention to it; he was just somewhat moved.
"That stand-in guy is really good at holding back!"
Wang Hao glanced at the remaining rice bucket beside him and could clearly see that there were quite a few grains of sand inside. Obviously, the innkeeper had mixed sand into his food. It was a good thing that the guy could tolerate it and didn't show any flaws.
Without saying anything more, Wang Hao sat cross-legged on the simple bed, activated his Dao Comprehension Function, and gathered the essence of all Buddhist Order martial arts traditions to begin deducing the Damo's Four Great Divine Arts.
This is truly thanks to the power of the Taoist School sect. Of the four top-tier divine skills of Shaomu Temple, apart from the Marrow Marrow-Washing Classic which was rumored to have been lost long ago, the other three were actually collected, and in complete versions.
This made his deductions much easier.
The first thing to be deduced was the knock-off version of the Hong Kong comic's Golden Bell Shield Divine Art. With the foundation from before, the rest of the deduction went very smoothly. Next was the Virgin Boy Divine Art, also known as the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.
Actually, the term "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" is used by martial arts practitioners outside the temple, and it's also a form of praise and a characteristic of this skill. Within Shaomu Temple, this skill is actually called " Virgin Boy Art."
However, because the name "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art " was much more prestigious than "Virgin Boy Art," Shaomu Temple gradually accepted this name.
This "Virgin Boy Art " cultivates Chunyang energy, and only a virgin can cultivate it. Furthermore, one must never lose their virginity, at least not before reaching the Great Perfection of cultivation; otherwise, all their power will be wasted.
However, the people of Shaomu Temple are all monks, and with very few exceptions, very few of them have lost their virginity, so they don't have this concern. At most, it's just that the requirements for this "Virgin Boy Art" are too high, and ordinary people can't learn it or aren't qualified to learn it.
Coincidentally, the Golden Cauldron Divine Art of that Taoist School and the Golden Light Incantation he had previously deduced were similar techniques, which made his deduction much easier. Before long, the Hong Kong comic version of the Virgin Boy Divine Art was freshly produced.
Next is the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic, which is more complicated, but thanks to his profound martial arts foundation, he still managed to create it.
Finally, there's the Marrow-Washing Classic. Although he didn't get his hands on the secret manual for the Marrow-Washing Classic, he did manage to obtain a manuscript from Taoist School that mentioned the characteristics of the Marrow Marrow-Washing Classic. Based on the settings in Hong Kong comics, he then copied it in the same way.
In reality, the Marrow-Washing Classic is a technique for Spirit Refinement power. Although Damo was a legendary figure, the Marrow-Washing Classic he created was limited by the constraints of this world and did not have much potential. There are several other unique techniques in Taoist School that can rival it.
Wang Hao's solution to this was simple: he directly found a powerful Buddhist cultivator in his memories of his past life in the Primordial World world and began to meditate on him.
In the Primordial World, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was the true Fortune one, and he was recognized by all the Sage, including two Sage from Western Buddhism, who sent their disciples to help him.
When the Yellow Emperor Tribe's tribe attacked the city where the previous incarnation of Primordial World resided, a Buddhist Order master appeared. He was quite handsome, and most importantly, he had cultivated a Lotus Buddha Treasure, which was based on the Divine Charm of the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit of Amitabha Buddha's Guiche of Saint Jieyin.
This is good for Wang Hao. Although he Present Buddha knowledge and cannot yet Simulation the other party's Divine Charm, he should be able to do so after a successful trip to Shaomu Temple and reading a large number of Buddhist Order scriptures.
