Chapter 1165: Pulling Step by Step (Part 1)
"You knew in advance that this would happen?" The bookstore owner was suspicious again, his face was gloomy, and he asked with annoyance: "But you didn't tell me?"
Xu Changqing looked at the bookstore owner calmly and said calmly: "My original plan was to tell you this matter today and pass on the solution to you. But I didn't expect that your situation would happen so early and so strong, which was completely different from what happened to me."
The bookstore owner wanted to grab the clothes of the person in front of him and punch the other party's always cold and indifferent face, but this impulse was finally suppressed by him. Not to mention that the other party still has the handle to relieve the hidden dangers for him, even if there is no handle, the opponent's strength is not comparable to that of him.
Taking a deep breath and calming down the emotions in his heart, the owner of the bookstore almost gritted his teeth and said, "What is this situation? Why did it turn out like this?"
"I call this condition a blood addiction. It is mainly because after practicing the power of Qi and Blood, the blood vessels on the body change, but the changes in the body are not as good as the changes in the blood vessels, so this situation is almost a disease. As long as the body does not adapt to Qi and Blood for a day, this situation will always exist, and it will become stronger and stronger, and may even reach the point where the power of Qi and Blood cannot be suppressed." Xu Changqing ignored the other party's emotions and frowned slightly, looking as if he was in a dilemma for what happened to the bookstore owner. "I also had this situation when I was practicing Qi and Blood, but it was three or four years later. You had this reaction after just about a month of cultivation, which was really beyond my expectations."
As he said that, he paused, signaled the bookstore owner to raise his hand, then reached out to grab the bookstore owner's vein, and after entering a magic power flowed into his body several times, he said: "I guess this is related to your and my physique. I have been in the forest all year round, and I eat strange beasts with strong qi and blood. Many times I have to eat raw. You live in the city and eat spiritual rice specially grown. Even if there is meat, it is mostly a meat food. The physical differences between you and me are very big. My body, muscles, bones, blood and qi are no different from strange beasts, so I can better adapt to the changing qi and blood power, while your body is much worse. In addition, the method I have modified now is more suitable for us to practice, and the effect is far beyond the method I first created back then. This makes the situation that should have happened a few years later, and it appears so violently."
After hearing the explanation, the bookstore owner couldn't wait to ask: "Is this harmful to me?"
"When I encountered this situation, there was no harm. I quickly adapted by using my own blood melting method." Xu Changqing shook his head, then looked at the bookstore owner, so he said, "It's just that your situation is very different from mine. My solution may...maybe it can't be used on you."
"What? Don't you have a solution?" The bookstore owner's face became even more gloomy. When he thought of the painful and itchy feeling before, his body shivered.
"Yes, but it's not suitable for you now." Xu Changqing signaled the bookstore owner to stay calm, and then looked like he closed his eyes and thoughtful.
The bookstore owner is also a little unruly now. When he saw Xu Changqing still looking calm, he felt extremely angry and wanted to ask Xu Changqing for a solution immediately. However, only Xu Changqing could solve his problem. So when he saw Xu Changqing in a state of contemplation, he did not dare to make any noise even if he was impatient. He could only sit quietly beside him and wait for Xu Changqing to come up with a solution.
After about half an hour, Xu Changqing opened his eyes and his slightly frown brows also stretched out.
The bookstore owner who was always staring at Xu Changqing's bookstore was delighted when he saw the subtle changes between Xu Changqing's eyebrows and asked hurriedly: "Is there a solution?"
Xu Changqing nodded slightly and said, "I did think of a suitable method, but there are two that you need to choose. One method has a slow effect, but the best is stability, while the other method has a fast effect, but there are certain risks."
When the bookstore owner heard this, he immediately decided to choose the method with a fast effect. After all, the itchy feeling brought him too deep to the impression that he did not want to encounter this feeling again in the future. However, the words of choice came to his mouth but were swallowed by him, because he thought of the method that Xu Changqing had taught these days, and felt that the effect was too fast might not necessarily be a good thing.
After hesitating for a while, the bookstore owner asked indifferently: "Can you explain these two methods in detail?"
"In fact, the purpose of both methods is the same. They are to strengthen your body and allow your body to adapt to the changes in bloodlines. The slower one is actually the method I planned to teach you today, but now I have slightly modified it. This method is called swallowing. It enhances the strength of your body by eating raw blood and flesh of strange animals. According to my estimate, it only takes two years to completely get rid of blood addiction, and also to improve your body to the extreme, and by the way, it can also make your bloodline stronger. It can be said that it is the safest and most appropriate method."
"What about another method?" The bookstore owner was slightly moved, but only two years made him hesitate.
"Another method is called blood seed." After Xu Changqing said a name, he deliberately made a hesitant look, and his expression just right made the bookstore owner pay strong attention to this blood seed.
When he felt the fire was coming, he continued: "This method originated from an ancient method recorded in a monument I found in the forest. That method was broken. I just borrowed one of the small methods and combined with the soul seed method recorded in the books you gave me to create this method."
"What? The method of soul seed!" The bookstore owner was shocked immediately, as if he had heard something terrifying, and hurriedly said: "How come there is a method of soul seed in the book I gave you?"
Xu Changqing did not answer, but walked directly into a bunch of books, searched for a while, and soon found a very old book, opened its cover, and then picked up the inside of the cover with his fingernails, and saw a layer of cover on the surface being exposed, revealing an old book page as thin as a cicada's wing. I saw that the words "The Soul Seed" were clearly written on the pages of the book.
Seeing this page, the bookstore owner's face changed drastically. He immediately snatched it. He didn't dare to take a look and closed it directly. A ball of flame appeared on his palm, burning it to ashes. Then he said to Xu Changqing with an extremely serious expression: "You must remember not to let others know that you have seen this soul-seeding method, and don't practice this evil method, otherwise..."
The bookstore owner didn't say much, but the meaning of the words was revealed.
On the other hand, Xu Changqing frowned slightly and looked at the bookstore owner with a little deep meaning. The other party's fierce reaction was already as expected by Xu Changqing, but what he didn't expect was that the reaction was so intense that he regarded this soul-seeding method as a taboo. But the problem is that this soul-seeding method was not hidden in this book at all, but originated from the bookstore owner's own secret room.
During these twenty days, Xu Changqing naturally could not stay in the courtyard obediently and concentrate on reading and preaching the Dharma. In fact, he took advantage of this time to investigate the town and the surrounding areas of the mud city. However, because he did it very secretly, the bookstore owner was completely unaware of it.
During the investigation, he discovered a lot of interesting things, and the secret room of the bookstore owner's secret residence is also one of them. The method of the soul seed comes from where this page is. The blood seed technique created by combining this method is also the main dish that Xu Changqing really wants to pass to the bookstore owner today. Instead, the swallowing technique is just a side dish.
After Xu Changqing obtained this method of soul seeds, he was closely collected by the bookstore owner and paid special attention to it. He spent about a day to comprehend this method. What puzzled him was that the value of this method was not as high as he imagined. This method was more like a secret technique that combines Buddhist initiation method and magical arts. People who practiced this method can pass on their own understanding of the Tao and the great way to others through the method of soul seeds.
However, after seeing the reaction of the bookstore owner, Xu Changqing felt that he had underestimated this method in the past. When he thought of the differences between himself and the giants in this world, he felt that this secret technique of teaching the Dharma might have some effects that he did not know about using it.
Although he was curious about what effect this method had on people in this world, why the bookstore owner was so nervous about this method, and why he called it an evil method, Xu Changqing did not intend to ask, because he knew very well that the bookstore owner would definitely not say it. If he wanted to know the truth, he could only start from other aspects.
Xu Changqing pretended to be serious at this moment and said, "Since this soul-seeding method is an evil method, I won't talk about the blood technique, so as not to have any unpredictable problems after the integration of the soul-seeding method."
Hearing what Xu Changqing said, the bookstore owner not only did not agree with the proposal, but also showed a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He seemed to be more expecting the blood-type technique mentioned by Xu Changqing because of this soul-type method. He just tried his best to hide the expression on his face and deliberately pretended to be thinking. Although the disguise was good, compared to a disguise master like Xu Changqing, it was obviously not enough to see it, and Xu Changqing could easily see through his true thoughts.
"Let's talk!" The bookstore owner deliberately pretended to be hesitant, and finally said as if he had made up his mind.
