Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Over there, Zhong Liquan and Yue Yangzi were still talking, and over here, Pei Wende learned the approximate location of Chunyang Temple from Rong Huazi.

As for why Rong Huazi came to Lujiazhuang, and what exactly he found in Lujiazhuang?

Pei Wende did not choose to continue questioning.

Because everyone has their own secrets, Rong Huazi does the same, and so does herself.

If pressed for questioning, Pei Wende would certainly be confident that he would know how to pry Rong Huazi's mouth open.

But what's the point?

Anyway, there is a high probability that it has something to do with Rong Huazi's adoptive father and the Chunyang Taoist priest.

Pei Wende will go to Chunyang Temple next. After confirming that Rong Huazi has no malicious intentions, the possibility of turning against him will naturally be as small as possible.

Although Pei Wende told him directly that this trip was definitely not as smooth as he imagined.

However, it is better to reduce some hostility as much as possible.

【pedantic! stupid! soft-hearted!】

After knowing Pei Wende's thoughts, Xiaoqing complained to him as usual.

It was okay to be soft-hearted before, but now he dares to act like this when he knows that Rong Huazi may have concealed some information. This is really too reckless.

At least in Xiao Qing's eyes, raising a tiger is more likely to cause trouble.

[I don’t call this soft-hearted, I call it weighing the pros and cons.]

[If the problem can be solved peacefully, why must we force the other party to use force?]

Pei Wende has long been accustomed to this kind of complaints and complaints, and he said secretly in his heart.

[Besides, with my current strength, are you still afraid that I will capsize in the gutter? 】

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoqing immediately fell silent.

Because she knew that Pei Wende was telling the truth. Today, he is different from the nosy lay disciple of Tongqing Temple.

Not to mention a side sect practitioner who has not yet entered the innate world, even a true Yang Shen cannot expect to get a single benefit from Pei Wende.

In Huiji's words, no matter how big the world is, even Pei Wende can do it.

[Sooner or later you will die because of your character...]

Knowing that persuasion was useless, Xiaoqing finally said angrily and stopped talking.

[Haha, isn’t this also you? 】

[I believe that when that day comes, you will definitely not leave me alone.]

I don't know whether it was trust or comfort, but Pei Wende's last words successfully calmed down Xiaoqing.

After all, as Pei Wende said, his current strength can already dominate his entire life.

Coupled with Xiao Qing's words, Pei Wende really didn't know who could make him feel stressed again.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"In other words, you are still one step away from the 'innate realm'?"

While talking to Xiaoqing in his heart, Pei Wende officially left Lujiazhuang under the leadership of Rong Huazi.

During this process, Pei Wende did not forget his previous promise and began to communicate and guide Rong Huazi's practice.

According to Rong Huazi, although her adoptive father was also a connector, he did not have the same miraculous abilities as her.

Whether it's sewing up a corpse to make it active again, or using his own immortality to curse an enemy, these are all abilities that Rong Hanako has figured out little by little.

The former is magical power, an ability that Rong Huazi naturally possesses after entering Taoism.

Just like Pei Wende's awakening of pure Yang magical power, Rong Huazi's ability is also a magical ability that was born naturally after she had been sewing corpses for many years.

There is no need to perform any incantation rituals or rely on the power of any ghosts and gods.

As long as Rong Huazi is willing, even if she sews two pieces of meat together, she can make them have an activity similar to that of a living thing.

Rong Huazi's "immortal body" is the most basic manifestation of this magical power.

The latter was a spell that Rong Huazi accidentally obtained from an evil cultivator and was specially used to protect the way and kill enemies.

The correct name of this spell is "Gonggui Blood Curse". It is an evil spell inherited from some ancient witchcraft. It can curse the enemy to death through their blood, hair, and even their birth date.

The more detailed information the caster obtains, the higher the damage of the curse to the opponent, and vice versa.

However, when this spell fell into the hands of Rong Huazi, who had an "immortal body", it had a completely different use.

Like all spells, in addition to using the enemy's information to curse the opponent, the Blood Curse can also increase the power of the spell by harming the caster.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the caster is willing to die together, or even just recalls the opponent's appearance and habits in his mind, he can severely damage him.

Rong Huazi had previously used this method to curse the ghost bride.

There is no need for things like hair, blood, birthdays, etc. Rong Huazi only needs to return the damage caused by the ghost bride to herself intact to kill the opponent.

This is also another hidden condition of the Blood Curse of Mutual Return - give me harm and repay it twice as much.

The caster can return double the damage suffered by himself to the perpetrator.

In other words, if the ghost bride hadn't cut off Rong Huazi's head with a knife first, no matter how powerful Rong Huazi's spell was, he wouldn't have been able to kill him with one blow.

However, none of the above is actually what surprised Pei Wende the most.

Be it supernatural powers or magic...

In the current view of Pei Wende, they are just means used by practitioners to defend themselves against enemies during the practice process. They are branches of the art, not the root of the Tao.

What truly distinguishes practitioners from ordinary mortals is their cultivation, their Taoism, and their lifespan that far exceeds that of normal creatures.

The cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, side sects, and even monsters are all the same on this point.

Devouring the vitality, refining the energy veins, building the nine orifices, forming a cycle around the sky, until finally the bridge between heaven and earth is opened...

This is the path that countless predecessors have explored.

This road may not be the most powerful road, but it must be the most universal one.

However, Rong Hanako's understanding in this area is far inferior to her performance in magic and supernatural powers.

It has been more than ten years since she entered Taoism, but she has still not been able to form a true cycle of heaven and earth, open the bridge between heaven and earth, and then communicate with the external energy and enter the realm of unity between heaven and man.

"What the Zen Master said is true. The little girl has not yet found the right path."

Hanging his head in frustration, Rong Huazi knew that he had entered a bottleneck state in his practice.

Already in a bottleneck state, coupled with the yin energy and negative effects brought about by practicing ghost ways for many years, Rong Huazi's vitality has been almost exhausted.

If she cannot break through the innate realm in a short period of time, sudden death will be her only outcome.
