12dz Chapter 23 Shadow Fist
Chapter 23 Shadow Fist
Dry Wind Cliff, at the foot of the mountain cliff.
The waves crashed against the rocks, creating white spray, and a two-zhang-long rock crocodile lay on a rock, devouring the rocks.
Suddenly, a pair of pure white jade feet descended from the sky and landed near the bitter rock crocodile.
The high-ranking demon beast turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in red with a frosty face looking down at it.
The bitter rock crocodile instantly flew into a rage, opened its huge mouth, and lunged at the woman.
But the woman in red simply waved her hand, and several willow-leaf shaped blood-red throwing knives whistled out, piercing the body of the bitter rock crocodile and pinning it to the cliff behind it.
With a loud "boom," the group of demonic birds living nearby were startled.
They cried out angrily, then flapped their wings and rushed towards the woman in red.
However, the woman in red merely looked up at them and glared at them, a flash of blood-red light passing through her eyes. The demonic birds immediately went limp and plunged into the waves below, never to be seen again.
Immediately afterwards, the woman in red made a hand seal, and three more blood-red flying knives flew out, swirling together to transform into a blood-red full moon.
The next moment, the blood moon shot out and cleaved the roaring Bitter Rock Crocodile in two from head to tail!
With a flick of her fingers, the woman in red snatched a storage bag into her hand.
After briefly scanning the area with her divine sense, she immediately spoke in a voice as cold as ice:
"How dare you kill the Five Yin Shamanesses I painstakingly gathered! Don't let me find you! Otherwise, I'll definitely extract your soul and refine you into a puppet!"
"snort!"
After letting out a cold snort, the woman in red threw the storage bag aside, and more than ten Blood Willow Flying Knives formed a giant leaf at her feet, carrying her soaring upwards.
......
"What a tragedy!"
Waking up in her eighteenth senior sister's wooden house, Luo Qing sent her away after squeezing out every last drop of her malevolent aura. Then, she slapped her thigh and sighed with deep regret.
"Master, did Mengbao do something wrong?"
Meng Bao felt wronged.
"you...."
Luo Qing held up a finger as if to ask a few questions, but swallowed the words back down.
After all, Meng Bao did everything according to his instructions; it's just that he himself didn't explain things clearly.
"From now on, we must go into seclusion directly; doing it this way is too risky and could easily lead to trouble."
Luo Qing silently reminded herself of this.
Fortunately, once his divine attributes improve, even if he only has 10% of his original spirit's computing power left, he will be able to handle his daily needs and won't have to turn into Patrick Star all the time.
"Fortunately, it only caused some commotion and did not damage the foundation. I originally planned to act in a high-profile manner, so exchanging those bone-strengthening pills for some evil energy is not a bad deal."
Luo Qing reviewed the events and only remembered that the feelings of a few senior sisters were truly... cough cough.
"Luckily, I still have some left. It's been several pill-changing days, but I haven't yet experienced the taste of cultivating by taking pills."
With a hint of anticipation, Luo Qing took out a bone-strengthening pill and was about to put it in her mouth.
But then he realized something and stopped opening his mouth.
"By the way, let's take a look at that pill formula first."
Luo Qing's thoughts shifted, and he began searching for the recipe for the Bone Strengthening Pill within his primordial spirit.
However, after just one glance, Luo Qing's hand holding the Bone Strengthening Pill suddenly trembled, causing the precious pill that her senior sisters were willing to risk their lives for to fall to the ground, where it became covered in dust.
After a long while, Luo Qing finally came to her senses, her face contorted with rage, and she thought to herself with hatred:
"Extreme Yin, you deserve to die!"
Even though no one was around, Luo Qing only dared to say these words to herself.
The reason he reacted so strongly was that one of the main ingredients of the Bone Strengthening Pill was bone powder from Qi Refining cultivators who practiced Iron Bone Technique!
After all that, it turns out that these bone-strengthening pills were made from the half of the previous batch of registered disciples who were eliminated!
"Mengbao, thank you."
Picking up the Bone Strengthening Pill from the ground, Luo Qing stared at the bone-white pill as if it were looking at herself.
"I don't know why, but Mengbao likes to be praised, la la la~"
Luo Qing was naturally grateful to Meng Bao. If it weren't for her accidental discovery, he would have taken countless bone-strengthening pills while in a daze.
If so, this matter will surely leave a shadow in his heart, and may even become a demon in his mind in the future!
Although he found the act of refining pills by removing bones extremely evil, Luo Qing had no power to break through it. He could only suppress his anger, put away the pills, and solemnly examine the new spell that had appeared in his primordial spirit.
"Shadow Fist (Tier 1, High Grade)"
Base cost: 10 mana, 5 health
Skill Restriction: Blood Control Technique Level 1
基础威能：金灵6（30%），精纯6（30%），煞元2（40%）
Additional bonuses: 10 points of malevolence (20%), 10 points of mana (60%)
...
"They've actually fused together a high-level spell. Meng Bao, what are the characteristics of this spell?"
Looking at the new spell in her primordial spirit, Luo Qing felt both delighted and worried.
To his delight, this advanced spell was indeed very suitable for him, as it allowed him to gain basic power through baleful energy.
However, its base cost is too high. Not to mention the 5 points of blood energy consumption that makes Luo Qing feel weak, the 10 points of mana consumption alone can make him a true one-punch man.
Keep in mind that he currently only has 3 points of Qi attribute, a total of 15 points of mana, and 3 points of instantaneous mana.
In other words, he must accumulate power over a long period of time before he can unleash the Shadow Fist!
(Spells that consume less mana than their instant mana can be cast quickly.)
"Master, the Shadow Fist is incredibly fast, comparable to the blood light of the Blood Shadow Escape, and its direction can be finely adjusted using the Blood Control Technique."
Basically, any enemy locked onto by the master's divine sense cannot escape this punch!
Is Meng Baoli amazing?
"Mengbao is the best."
Luo Qing was generous with his encouragement; his low cultivation level was his problem, not Meng Bao's.
As for the blood control technique, Luo Qing didn't intend to let Meng Bao analyze it.
After all, these kinds of spells, along with object manipulation, sword control, water control, and so on, are the most basic techniques and are easy to learn.
These kinds of skills and spells are easy to learn but extremely difficult to master.
However, if one practices to a high level, the cultivator can gain many benefits. For example, if one practices the sword control technique to the third level, one can comprehend the sword technique of giant sword.
After killing the Earth-Turning Demon and the Golden-Backed Demon, Luo Qing's malevolent energy surged by more than 30 points. Combined with the energy he gained from dual cultivation over the past few days, his total malevolent energy is now 72.
（24煞凝聚1煞元，48煞凝聚1煞元，96煞凝聚1煞元，以此类推。）
"After taking the Blood Drying Pill and accumulating power, I was able to barely unleash the Shadow Fist, with a base power of 50% and a total power of 122%."
However, the standard power of a higher-tier spell is nine times higher than that of a lower-tier spell, so the converted power exceeds 1000%!
After a quick calculation, Luo Qing roughly knew how much her strength had improved this time.
However, he still did not fully realize what a great opportunity it was for someone to create a method tailored to his needs.
Although theoretically, the upper, middle and lower levels of first-order spells correspond to the early, middle and late stages of Qi cultivation.
In reality, only cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining can make the total power of lower-level spells exceed 100%; only those at the late-stage of Qi Refining can truly unleash the power of mid-level spells.
Even cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment cannot master advanced spells well.
Therefore, there is a saying in the cultivation world:
The best techniques and supernatural abilities are the ones that best suit you!
