Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Black Sha 7 Calamities Scripture

Yang Jing took out the various Cultivation Techniques he possessed. Through his experiments on Iron Head and Yinjiao, he had discovered that the compatibility between a Cultivation Technique and a Guardian Beast was extremely important.

This was because the number of Spirit Stones required to enhance each realm would skyrocket fivefold compared to the previous one. A high or low compatibility might only mean a difference of a few, or perhaps a dozen, Spirit Stones when strengthening the first realm, but this would balloon into an astronomical figure in the later stages.

If he had Iron Head cultivate the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Swordsmanship and reach the Peak Realm, it would cost far more than the six thousand-odd Spirit Stones it had taken for Yinjiao.

By the same token, Yinjiao’s study of Alchemy wasn’t the smooth success it was for Iron Head. To this day, he still fumbled when refining Blood Circulation Pills.

Of course, the most suitable technique for Chi Yu was undoubtedly the Dark Spring Demon Sect’s Nine Yin Blood Evil Scripture, but Yang Jing was determined not to let her practice this Cultivation Technique. First, most Demon Sect Skills had backdoors built into them. Once Chi Yu cultivated the Nine Yin Blood Evil Scripture, she would surely be controlled by any Demon Cultivator from the Dark Spring Demon Sect she encountered. Second, a deep Demon Intent and vicious aura lay hidden within Chi Yu’s body. Cultivating the Nine Yin Blood Evil Scripture would be like adding fuel to the fire of this vicious nature, and she would lose control sooner or later.

Since Yang Jing had taken Chi Yu in as a disciple, he didn’t see her as just a tool. He was unwilling to let her mind be tainted by Demon Intent and let her devolve completely into a savage Demon.

As he had expected, Chi Yu’s compatibility with the Jade Water Skill and the Five Talisman Scripture was very poor, and she was completely unable to cultivate the True Yang Body. But one Cultivation Technique, to Yang Jing’s surprise, was a remarkably good fit for Chi Yu.

This Cultivation Technique was the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture, obtained from the Tribulation Cultivator, Brother Guo.

As a heterodox Cultivation Technique, the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture didn’t have high requirements for a Cultivator’s Spirit Root, but its demands on one’s capabilities were extremely high. It required one to refine the Blood Evil Qi generated from killing into one’s Magical Power. The more one killed, the stronger they became, and the more tyrannical their Magical Power grew.

If one didn’t refine Blood Evil Qi, the resulting Magical Power would be no stronger than that from the Black Water Scripture, and it would be nearly impossible to break past the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Cultivators of this technique were either taken down by the Law Enforcement Team for slaughtering mortals or were killed in the process of trying to strengthen themselves through slaughter. Those who survived and became accomplished were all top-tier, ruthless characters—either veteran Tribulation Cultivators or old soldiers from the Six Passes Defense Line.

Yang Jing’s eyes lit up. ’The vicious evil qi in Chi Yu’s body is too strong. If I can use the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture to refine that qi into her Magical Power, and then use the system to eliminate that Magical Power… wouldn’t that allow me to gradually purge the vicious evil qi from her body?’

[Consume Spirit Stones to teach the Profound Yin Blood Mosquito (Chi Yu) the Cultivation Technique >?]

He confirmed, spending twenty Spirit Stones to raise Chi Yu’s realm in the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture to “Mastery.” This Cultivation Technique had a bit of a threshold since it required controlling Evil Qi; it was harder than the Jade Water Skill but easier than the Five Talisman Scripture.

For Chi Yu to reach “Mastery” in the Jade Water Skill would have required fifty Spirit Stones, and the Five Talisman Scripture a whopping three hundred. In contrast, the Nine Yin Blood Evil Scripture required only five Spirit Stones.

The Nine Yin Blood Evil Scripture was one of the Dark Spring Demon Sect’s Fundamental Demon Scriptures, not much inferior to the original True Yang Body technique. For it to only require five Spirit Stones showed just how compatible Chi Yu was with Demon Skills.

Worried that Chi Yu, having just been born, had a fragile Sea of Consciousness and couldn’t withstand a massive influx of knowledge, Yang Jing only raised her realm in the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture to “Mastery.”

Chi Yu was a bit dazed by the knowledge that had suddenly appeared in her head. After Yang Jing explained the concept of Dao Seed Empowerment to her, she obediently lay down on Yang Jing’s palm and tried to perform Energy Introduction.

Through his Bright Qi Talent, Yang Jing could see wisps of Spiritual Qi being drawn into Chi Yu’s body. But before she could refine it into Magical Power, it was forced out by the Demon Qi and Evil Qi within her.

Chi Yu lowered her head, a little dejected.

Yang Jing scratched her little head with his index finger.

“Keep trying. You’ll succeed one day. From now on, you will cultivate with your Senior Brother Iron Head. The Celestial True Yang from his body can suppress the Demon Qi and Evil Qi on you, helping you get started and cultivate your first strand of Magical Power.”

Iron Head immediately shuffled over eagerly, looking at his little junior sister.

Seeing his expectant look, Yang Jing placed Chi Yu in his palm.

Iron Head’s hands were too small; he had to cup both of them together to hold Chi Yu completely.

His big, dark eyes were full of adoration.

“Junior Sister, Junior Sister, do you want a Blood Circulation Pill? I’ll refine one for you!”

Chi Yu just curled into a listless ball, not wanting to deal with this overly enthusiastic senior brother.

“Master!”

Iron Head immediately looked toward Yang Jing, his face full of worry.

“It’s fine. Your junior sister has True Demon Blood. The little bit of Celestial True Yang radiating from you can’t hurt her at all. She just needs some time to get used to it.”

Yang Jing had engaged in Magical Combat with Outer Celestial Demons possessing True Demon Blood in the Nine Heavens World before. He knew very well how tenacious the Life Force of such Celestial Demons was. As long as their True Demon Blood wasn’t completely eradicated by Magic like True Fire or Thunder Techniques, they could resurrect themselves infinitely.

There was a saying: “As long as the True Blood does not run dry, the Blood Demon never dies.”

Having offloaded the task of babysitting onto Iron Head, Yang Jing felt a sense of relief. He stretched and prepared to go cast his line a few more times.

“Your Junior Sister Chi Yu needs more blood-food to form her cocoon. I’m going to go catch a few more Demon Fish for her.”

Because most Cultivators had gone to participate in the Autumn Defense, the fishing spots along the Jishui Riverbank were all empty. Even if he kept getting bites, he wouldn’t attract the envy of other unsuccessful fishermen.

If he could catch another Dragon Blood Carp, it would not only improve the physical constitution and talent of the four of them—master and disciples—but also speed up Chi Yu’s progress toward the realm of Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development.

With this in mind, after finishing his daily Qi Cultivation practice in his Quiet Chamber, Yang Jing excitedly headed to the Jishui River to fish.

For these low-intelligence Demon Fish, his Bright Qi Talent was an overwhelming advantage. He just had to drive a Silver Moon Fish with a Bait Talisman attached near those Demon Fish, and they would almost always bite the hook.

He had barely sat down for a moment before he used an Electric Light Talisman to stun a Colorful Fin Demon Carp that had taken the bait and dragged it ashore.

These Demon Carp had to swim upstream along the Jishui River to the Demon Country to lay their eggs every year. Their eggs could only hatch successfully in the dense, murky, evil qi of the Demon Country. The young fish would then swim downstream, growing up by preying on things in the safer waters of the Chen Kingdom, becoming a major menace to the fishermen and ferries on the Jishui River.

He skillfully took out his Demon-slaying Sword, pierced the fish’s brain, placed the Demon Fish into his Storage Bag, and continued fishing.

As he was pulling in the sixth Demon Fish, Yang Jing suddenly looked up. He saw a Flying Boat appear on the horizon. The Flying Boat was over twenty zhang long and had a pavilion built upon it. It was the very same Flying Boat that had taken them to Fuyuan Prefecture City.

’The Autumn Defense is over.’

A thought rose in Yang Jing’s mind.

Because he had encountered a Demon Cultivator, he had returned to San Yuanli early, and the Chen Family hadn’t sent him elsewhere to continue the Autumn Defense.

’I can exchange for the Five Elements Pill formula now.’

This was the second thought that rose in his mind.
