I Have an Omen System-Chapter 108 - 104: Outer Path Divine Techniques (Part 2)
...
The faint, sweet smell of blood hung in the air.
Beneath the calm waters of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea, an undercurrent surged.
"Let’s see now, what’s your name..."
Qin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he pulled the soul of the heavily injured Loose Cultivator from the Soul-devouring Banner and performed a Soul Search.
"Oh, so you’re called Yan Jin. A True Disciple of the Cyan Talisman Sect, a Golden Core Sect."
Qin Xuan gave a strange smile and wiped a hand across his face. The Ten Thousand Forms Blood Talisman in his Dantian suddenly flared with a bloody light.
In an instant, Qin Xuan’s features transformed into Yan Jin’s thin and gaunt appearance. His aura and attire became identical.
A fellow disciple from the Cyan Talisman Sect even passed by and called out respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Brother Yan!"
"Hello, Junior Brother Zhang!"
Qin Xuan greeted him with a chuckle.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Qin Xuan slipped behind him and, in a flash, ran him through with a single sword strike, absorbing his soul into the Soul Banner.
Unfortunately, this Cyan Talisman Sect cultivator didn’t have a Purple Mansion Star Order on him.
"How are these Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators so weak? A dignified Foundation Establishment Fourth Level, and he couldn’t even block a single one of my strikes."
Qin Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head.
Although Qin Xuan was at Foundation Establishment Third Level, when facing a Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Fourth Level, he felt like his opponent was made of paper.
He hadn’t even felt as threatened by him as he had by Zheng Qi.
If he had to make a comparison, Qin Xuan felt that a Fourth Level Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator was no different in combat strength from Chen Lixuan, who had just reached the First Level of Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment.
To make his disguise more convincing, Qin Xuan thought for a moment and made himself appear heavily injured. He wondered if he could bait some of his fellow Demon Cultivators to test his own combat strength.
He had Three Daoist Rank Divine Techniques at his disposal and over a hundred Treasure Talismans on his person.
Not to mention the ultimate life-saving treasure, the [Six-winged Cyan Cicada].
Even if he encountered Ye Lan, the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Sixth Level, Qin Xuan was confident he could escape in an instant if he couldn’t win the fight.
Who would have thought that instead of meeting a single fellow disciple from the Blood Demon Sword Sect, he would run into a sneaky-looking young Medicine Cultivator in a gray robe.
This Medicine Cultivator was clearly a young man, yet his body was stooped. He wore a wide gray robe covered in sewn-on cloth pockets, leaned on a gnarled and twisted withered vine staff, and was shrouded in a faint mist that carried a strange, medicinal fragrance.
Following behind the gray-robed Medicine Cultivator was a strange, bouncing little beast, half a man’s height, that resembled a pangolin but had vibrant mushrooms growing all over its shell.
Qin Xuan’s face grew wary. With a hoarse voice, he clutched the bleeding ’wound’ on his abdomen and shouted sternly,
"I am Yan Jin, a True Disciple of the Cyan Talisman Sect. May I ask for your name, Fellow Daoist, and where you are from? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
If you do not follow the Righteous Dao, please leave at once. Otherwise, don’t blame me, Yan, for being impolite!"
As he spoke, Qin Xuan released the lifelike, weakened aura of his Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivation.
The moment he saw that the other party was at Human Dao Foundation Establishment, the gray-robed Medicine Cultivator’s eyes lit up.
"Fellow Daoist, don’t be alarmed. I am from the Daqian Profound Cliff Du Family. My name is Du Legu, and I practice the art of medicine cultivation.
If you don’t mind, Fellow Daoist, I can heal your injuries."
Du Legu straightened his posture, forcing a gentle smile.
His realm was also Foundation Establishment Fourth Level, but he had achieved Earth Dao Foundation Establishment!
Medicine Cultivators might not be skilled in combat, but he was confident he could easily take down a heavily injured Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator like this one.
’If this cultivator has a Purple Mansion Star Order, I’ll leave him a complete corpse.’
’If he doesn’t have a Purple Mansion Star Order, I’ll refine him into corpse fertilizer for Agu!’ A glint flashed in the depths of Du Legu’s eyes as he gleefully began to scheme.
He was already planning Qin Xuan’s funeral arrangements.
’The Profound Cliff Du Family?’
Qin Xuan’s expression instantly became subtle.
"You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist. I have my own secret healing techniques; no need to trouble yourself."
Qin Xuan said coldly, feigning a proud and indifferent demeanor.
"Now you’re being distant, Fellow Daoist. Speaking of which, my father has deep ties with the Sect Leader of the Cyan Talisman Sect. We are both Daqian Cultivators, so how could I possibly harm you?"
Du Legu tossed a bottle of Purifying White Pills to Qin Xuan, his wrist trembling slightly with excitement.
"This is a Blood Healing Pill, a special Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Pill from my Profound Cliff Du Family. It has the miraculous effect of warming and nourishing the internal organs.
If you’re worried, Fellow Daoist, I’ll stay right here and act as your Guardian. I promise not to get any closer, and I’ll leave on my own once your injuries have healed."
"I see. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Du," Qin Xuan said, cupping his hands. His tone softened.
To lull Qin Xuan into a false sense of security, Du Legu deliberately revealed a piece of information.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, Senior Brother Ye Lan, the chief True Disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect, is gathering cultivators like us to head to Nebula Island. He intends to seek the Outer Path Divine Techniques of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea."
Du Legu continued, "Once your injuries are healed, perhaps the two of us can go together. What do you say?"
’Outer Path Divine Techniques?’
Qin Xuan’s eyes darted, and he readily agreed.
"Alright!"
He deliberately picked up the Pill.
Whenever he pretended to swallow it, Du Legu would crane his neck and lean forward, wishing he could personally watch Qin Xuan gulp it down.
But when Qin Xuan seemed to notice him, he would immediately turn his head and pretend that nothing was amiss.
’Sigh. Now that I’m out of the Holy Sect, why do all these Righteous Cultivators seem so stupid? Did they cultivate their skills onto a dog or something?’
With just a single glance, Qin Xuan had spotted a minuscule white worm inside the Blood Healing Pill, as fine as a strand of hair.
He was, after all, the Vice Incense Master of the Plague Poison Altar, with Demon Disciples who practiced the Blood Poison Plague Scripture under his command.
Back then, he had even spent several months with Wei Qingyi, who had obtained the inheritance of the Poison Blood Sword Demon.
He could recognize seven or eight out of every ten low-tier poisons.
He had immediately identified it as a Bloodthirsty Worm, a creature that could devour flesh and blood.
In terms of effect, the Bloodthirsty Worm was worlds apart from the Plague Gu Daoist’s Bone-Transforming Corpse Beetles.
