Chapter 130 Formless Skill
Yan Qifeng boasted that he had seen many "stunning beauties", and no matter what kind of appearance they were, he would always refer to them as "beauties".
But the person before him was the first to possess a beauty that would amaze him for half his life at just one glance.
She was like a treasure that people had painstakingly searched for. As soon as the long-sealed scroll was opened, the fairy in the painting inside appeared before their eyes, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Her face didn't reveal much emotion, and her gaze fell naturally, yet those being looked at by her seemed to forget to breathe and dared not approach to disturb her.
Liu Xingxing looked at Yan Qifeng's stunned expression but did not show too much pride. Beauty can sometimes bring unnecessary trouble, especially since she had a deep understanding of Liu Jun's appearance.
Liu Jun is beautiful, but not breathtakingly so. It is her cultivation level and the aura she has cultivated in this position that have given her appearance a lot of advantages, and it is as if she has a thousand layers of filters, which makes people have the illusion of being "breathtaking" at first glance.
Now you know why I always wear a veil, right?
Yan Qifeng turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, forcing himself not to look at her: "Her beauty surpasses that of most in the world."
No, it should be all of them, but he dared not say such a thing, for fear that in her eyes he would be just like those vulgar people who were only loyal to appearances.
Liu Xingxing closed her eyes slightly, her tone seemingly tinged with amusement: "Little fox, you're not bad either. Your looks are rare even in the outside world."
"Everyone says that fox demons are all exceptionally beautiful, but I don't think that's entirely true. Humans are beautiful and ugly, and so are demons. Fortunately, you have that advantage."
Although Yan Qifeng wasn't looking at her, he was constantly keeping an eye on the person beside him.
A variety of emotions appeared on her face, and the fairy in the painting came to life.
My heart had never been pounding so hard that I couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
Liu Xingxing seemed to notice his distraction as well, and waved her hand in front of his eyes, looking at him with a puzzled expression: "Little fox, what's wrong? Did the wind make you stupid?"
Yan Rengfeng then realized, "Oh, I... I did get a little cold from the wind, why don't we get off?"
After saying that, he stood up somewhat flustered and glanced in the direction of the ladder he had built to climb onto the roof.
Liu Xingxing also stood up, glanced at him, casually put her veil back on, then reached out and put her hand on Yan Qifeng's arm. In a flash, the two of them returned to the main hall of the palace.
"Your body is no different from that of an ordinary person right now. You should be careful until your dantian is repaired. Try to avoid being exposed to cold winds."
If she blows it and it gets damaged, then all her efforts will have been wasted.
"Oh, I see."
Liu Xingxing didn't see the subtle glint in his eyes.
As soon as the two of them stood still in the hall, Liu Xingxing saw Yan Zhong walking in, looking very solemn.
Yan Zhong returned with a stack of letters in his hand, looking up to see his eldest son standing with Immortal Qingjun. He put away what he was holding, his expression immediately changed, and he walked over with a smile, bowing to Liu Jun.
"It is truly impolite that no one informed the Immortal Qingjun of when he emerged from seclusion."
"It's alright. I haven't been out for long either. I heard that the little fox's eyes hadn't fully recovered, so I came to see him. Now his eyes are completely healed, and he can see without any problems from now on."
Yan Zhong paused, then suddenly looked at Yan Qifeng, took a few steps to his side, and grabbed his arm, looking into his eyes with joy, and said, "Qi'er, you can see now?"
Yan Qifeng smiled and looked at Yan Zhong: "Yes, Father has lost a lot of weight."
"Oh my, my son can finally see! I am so relieved! Qi'er, my dear Qi'er, you can finally see!"
Yan Zhong suddenly hugged Yan Qifeng tightly, patted his back twice with mixed feelings, and then slowly let go.
With a mix of apology and gratitude, he bowed to Liu Jun again: "Thank you, Immortal, for restoring my son's sight!"
Liu Xingxing quickly used her spiritual power to support him from a distance: "No need. I said before that the little fox is to my liking. My helping him has nothing to do with anyone else."
Yan Zhong straightened up, still full of gratitude: "Immortal, you are so magnanimous. My Yan family truly owes you a great debt of gratitude."
No wonder people outside say that if you gain the favor of this person, even a little charity can bring you immense benefits. Now he has experienced this firsthand.
"Let's talk about how to repair the little fox's dantian. I know very little about this. Does Your Majesty the Demon Emperor have any clues?"
Liu Xingxing was afraid that if he continued talking, he would start praying to a shaman again, so she immediately changed the subject.
Speaking of this, Yan Zhong became more normal: "The method of repairing the dantian is not exactly the same as that of human cultivators among our demon race. It requires the use of specially made seventh-grade pills and cultivation techniques to have any chance of repairing it."
"Leaving aside the specially made pills, the cultivation method for repairing the dantian is almost lost..."
That's why it's said that if the dantian is destroyed, that person is essentially useless.
Similar cases have occurred in cultivation sects outside the demon realm, and some have been cured. The methods are not as difficult as those in the demon realm, but they all involve consuming large amounts of spiritual pills and elixirs to cure the disease.
Therefore, if that person were not extremely important to the sect, they would never have spent so much manpower and resources to cure him.
Liu Xingxing pondered for a moment: "The pills are easy to discuss, but what is the name of this cultivation technique? Are there any clues?"
Yan Zhong naturally took his son's affairs very seriously, and in order to avoid causing the immortal any trouble, he investigated thoroughly beforehand:
"I checked, it's called 'Formless Technique,' and it's rumored that only Demon Venerables can learn this technique. It's a Heaven-Rank technique, and there are currently three Demon Venerables in our Demon Realm who have mastered it, but..."
"what?"
"But the Demon Lord is always elusive, and I apologize for my incompetence; I have yet to find any information about him."
Yan Zhongshen sighed and looked at Yan Qifeng, his eyes full of helplessness. He could only find out so much information in ten days.
"Is there any other way to obtain this technique?"
"...I don't know."
The demon realm is different from the outside world. Once a person is useless, they are useless. No matter if they are blood relatives or how important they are to the tribe, useless people are destined to be abandoned.
"Tsk...this is going to be difficult."
If their method of repairing the dantian were the same as that of cultivators, it wouldn't be difficult for her. But now she also has to find a nearly lost demon race cultivation technique...
Back in her room, Liu Xingxing remained silent. Why did she feel that the name of this cultivation technique seemed familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before?
"Formless Skill, Formless Skill..."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Liu Xingxing's mind, and she remembered that it was another matter related to Lu Xihan.
When the demons were causing trouble and various sects sent people to Lingshui to suppress the demons, in the original story before Lu Xihan transmigrated, didn't Wei Qiushuang accidentally fall into a secret realm?
This time, Lu Xihan also fell in, and by the way, she met a demon lord who was about to die by the roadside in the secret realm. The demon lord took a liking to her and passed on a set of cultivation techniques to her.
Don't ask, it's just the female lead's halo.
That set of techniques seems to be called "Formless Technique," and this Formless Technique is far more than just repairing the dantian; after all, it is a Heaven-rank technique.
(P.S.: Each secret realm is different; some have cultivation level restrictions while others do not.)
The Formless Skill is divided into ten levels. Learning the third level can repair the dantian; the fifth level allows one to cultivate the Formless Hand, which can transform existence into non-existence (corruption) and convert matter (similar to turning stone into gold); the tenth level allows one to cultivate the Formless Skill of Myriad Realms, mastering all techniques in one step.
To this day, no one has ever cultivated the tenth level of the Formless Skill; even reaching the seventh level is the limit.
It is clearly a cultivation method related to Buddhist principles and Zen enlightenment, but for some reason it has become a secret technique of the demon realm. The Buddhist Zen sect has never heard of anyone practicing this technique, and they have almost never even heard of it.
However, Lu Xihan's path was not this one, so this technique was completely insignificant to the various cheat codes she possessed, and thus it was left aside to gather dust.
Later, she only started practicing it again because she needed it for Ranrensha's sake. She practiced it casually and reached the fifth level of the Formless Hand, which was enough for her, so she stopped practicing it.
"Secret Realm..."
Now, the only place where we know the whereabouts of the Demon Lord and who has cultivated the Formless Technique is this place.
It seems she'll have to make a trip to this secret realm.
However, she didn't know the exact location of the secret realm, only that the group of children accidentally fell in on their way to Lingshui.
The scope of "on the way" is quite large, and Liu Xingxing doesn't want to search blindly like that; it would take forever.
Moreover, the opening time of the secret realm and the opportunity for the entrance and exit are indispensable. Even if you find them, you may not be able to enter. If you use brute force to tear open the opening, it may collapse on the spot, and all your efforts will be in vain.
It's only been a month or so, and Lu Xihan has only just started solving cases for the small sects. It will take at least a year before he goes to Lingshui Town to suppress the demons.
