Yinshan Record

Chapter 189 Relics of a Hundred Herbs
"Hahahaha...a mortal..."

The Vajra Yaksha within the Nine Yin Burning God Yin Fire laughed wildly.

"Do you know which of these 36,800 kinds of hungry ghosts is the designated guardian deity? How dare these mortals think they can kill us gods?"

The man didn't speak; he searched the ground for his blood-stained clothes.

"Are you gods too?"

"Haha, the Buddhist system is very strict. Not to mention the hungry ghost realm, even the animal realm and the hell realm in the six realms have their own protectors. My Vajra Yaksha clan is a natural protector in the hungry ghost realm, commanding thousands of hungry ghosts. Hmph, with your meager cultivation, you'd be in a worse situation than me if you encountered my clan's Vidyaraja."

The Vajra Yaksha screamed in agony once more.

The Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Soul directly affects the depths of the soul, tormenting the core of a person's intelligence. Although this Vajra Yaksha's body is as hard as metal, its soul strength is very limited.

This should also be the inherent limitation of beings in the hungry ghost realm.

Su Che used the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire to burn it, not simply to vent his anger, but more importantly to gather information about the Hungry Ghost Path.

In the future, we will inevitably have to confront these monsters in Cizhou.

"So, your family's Mingwang has also escaped?"

Su Che estimated that the king of the Vajra Yaksha clan must have at least a fourth-grade cultivation level, perhaps equivalent to a Longevity True Person.

If such a hungry ghost were to appear in Cizhou, it would be as if these thousands of hungry ghosts had gained a leader, making them even more difficult to subdue.

"You think I'd tell you? Hahahaha, you cultivators, just wait until we storm the East Sea..."

Su Che beckoned, and the sword at Lu Bai's waist was drawn to his hand, and another sword strike was unleashed.

Following the path of the Taiyu Abi Sword, he split his sword energy into 3,600 streams, which slashed into the body of the Vajra Yaksha, which had already turned into a man of fire. With a series of crackling sounds, the Vajra Yaksha was shattered into countless pieces of flesh.

Su Che slowly counted the pieces of flesh that had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, he had cultivated to the sixth rank.

The power of the soul far surpasses that of the mortal, and the mental strength and eyesight can no longer be measured by the standards of ordinary people. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to count how many pieces of this pile of minced meat there were in just a short time.

Counting is easy, but my eyes just can't take it.

With flesh scattered all over the ground, the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire gradually died down. Su Che walked over and picked up the head of the Vajra Yaksha.

interesting.

The Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire comes from the "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual" and can be said to be one of the core supernatural powers of the Yellow Heaven Path cultivation method. This Yin Fire specializes in attacking the soul and burning everything.

In other words, as long as the target still has a soul, it cannot escape the fate of being burned to ashes by this yin fire. However, it seems that the hungry ghosts that have come out of the hungry ghost realm cannot be considered standard "yin spirits".

Su Che pulled a long needle from the winding Yin Spring. He had bought it from a veterinarian when he passed through a small town, and it cost him two coins.

He held the head of the Vajra Yaksha in his hands and tapped it around the skull casually, as if he were buying a watermelon.

It is a seamless whole, without any gaps.

Su Che had previously fought against the hungry ghosts of the Vajra Yaksha clan and knew that their clan had a unique feature: a relic of a hundred medicines in their skull. It was said that this was a fundamental supernatural power personally bestowed upon them by a Buddha when they converted to Buddhism.

As long as these medicinal relics remain, they can grant them almost unlimited regenerative abilities.

Just now, this Vajra Yaksha had been chopped into minced meat by Su Che, but it could still be reborn with the power of the Hundred Herbs Relic.

The foundation of such supernatural powers greatly intrigued Su Che. A long needle was inserted deep into the hole in the Vajra Yaksha's nostril. Su Che had performed this operation several times before and was now quite adept at it.

At first it went smoothly, but after the long needle had gone in about two-thirds of its length, I felt a slight resistance.

Unlike the inner elixir, the Hundred Medicine Relics of the Vajra Yaksha clan are tightly wrapped within their brains. According to Su Che's somewhat inaccurate anatomical knowledge, they are located at the core of their Niwan Palace.

Su Che flicked his fingertip, and a very weak surge of magical power flowed into the long needle, directly affecting the depths of the Vajra Yaksha's Niwan point.

Flesh, blood, meridians, bones—everything regenerates at an extremely rapid pace.

"You...what did you do to me?"

The Vajra Yaksha watched in astonishment as his body gradually recovered.

This extraordinary regenerative ability is a core aspect of the Vajra Yaksha clan's control over their bodies. Only they themselves can freely utilize this ability for healing.

But now, the long needle in the other person's hand seems to have a strange magic, making my body disobey my will and start to grow like weeds.

The Vajra Yaksha looked fearfully at the long needle in his nostril; he was truly terrified now.

Su Che ignored it, holding a long needle in his hand, and channeled another kind of magic into its body.

This unconscious growth came to an abrupt halt, and the domineering Vajra Yaksha was like an incompletely assembled toy, with only its upper body hanging there.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Vajra Yaksha realized that no matter how much he tried to rouse his instincts, his body would no longer respond.

His usually proud ability to recover vanished the moment the long needle in the hand of the person before him pierced him.

"Who are you? Who are you?"

Su Che looked at the half-grown Vajra Yaksha, took Lu Bai's sword from the side, and unleashed another sword strike.

Three thousand five hundred and four.

Su Che counted the scattered pieces of meat on the ground and then shook his head.

We still need to work twice as hard.

“The core of the Vajrayana is this Hundred Herbs Relic,” Su Che said to Lu Bai beside him. “Their skin, bones, and muscles are actually just external manifestations, and it is precisely because of this that they possess extremely strong regenerative abilities.”

Su Che placed his right index finger and thumb on the end of the long needle and channeled another burst of magical power into it.

"Injecting sword energy will prevent this recovery process from occurring, acting as a kind of seal. Other magical power will stimulate him to continue recovering."

"And the Vajra Yaksha is powerless against this effect."

Su Che slowly withdrew the long needle and placed it back into the Yin Spring Nine Bends.

This might be related to the nature of sword energy, Su Che added in his mind, "It still needs further verification."

The muscles, bones, and skin on the Vajra Yaksha's body began to take shape once again, but this time his face no longer showed the arrogance of before, only deep fear.

"I'm going to ask you questions now, so answer them properly. If I'm not satisfied, I'll completely seal off your regenerative abilities, then cut off your limbs and turn you into a worm writhing on the ground."
