My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

Fang Cheng said as he turned and walked to the corner of the room, put his hands against the wall, closed his eyes, and began to inject spiritual power.

As the spiritual power was injected, the seemingly ordinary wall slowly cracked, revealing a three-foot square hole. In the hole, a stack of white paper lay quietly.

Fang Cheng pointed at the white paper and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, this array diagram was given to me by Fang Yuan before he left. To be honest, I know very little about its specific function. I just guessed from the questioning of those people that it might be a special array diagram used to crack other arrays. Perhaps the array you showed me just now can be cracked in this way."

After he finished speaking, he added: "The reason why I didn't mention this formation diagram before is mainly because it is not yet completed. Each time it is activated, it can only run for a short while before automatically stopping. I hope that Fellow Daoist Chu can understand my difficulties."

Chu Ci heard this and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He had already guessed that the reason why the square-faced man and his men targeted Cheng Fang was probably related to the formation.

Now that I know that this formation diagram is actually used specifically to break other formations, I am very excited.

He carefully picked up the formation diagram with both hands, and saw that it was covered with dense patterns and runes. Every detail seemed extremely complex and mysterious. It was obviously an extremely advanced formation.

Chu Ci was secretly delighted. He had obtained more than a thousand battle flags and the battle map. The purpose of his trip had been successfully achieved. After returning to obtain the Dark Spirit Fruit, he could return with peace of mind.

He raised his head, bowed to Fang Cheng and said, "If that's the case, I will respectfully obey your command."

After carefully putting away the formation diagram, Chu Ci chatted with Fang Cheng for a few more words about formations and his experience in practicing Taoism.

Then he took out two sound transmission notes and handed them to Fang Cheng, saying, "These are two top-grade sound transmission notes, which are effective within a million miles. If you have a chance, please pass them on to Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan. As for whether I am within the range, I will leave it to fate."

Fang Cheng took the sound transmission note and nodded. Chu Ci saw this and said nothing more, turning around and leaving.

It was already the evening hour, and the sky was gradually getting dark. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Ci decided to go directly to Peng Qi's residence to meet him. At noon tomorrow, he would set out to look for the thousand-year-old dark spirit fruit tree.

Chu Ci first found a secluded place to put on the disguise talisman that he had used to claim to be a cultivator named Qi, and then went straight to Peng Qi's residence.

Peng Qi was still sitting cross-legged in meditation in the room. His face was not as pale as before, and it seemed that he had recovered a lot.

Chu Ci didn't disturb him, but went into the next room.

He sat on the ground, stretched out his hand, and took out a few storage rings from his arms.

These rings were spoils of war from Peng Qi and the square-faced man's accomplices. Due to the emergency situation before, Chu Ci did not have time to check them carefully. Now that he had some free time, he decided to take a good look at what was in these rings.

He probed his consciousness into them one by one. The space inside the ring was large and small, filled with various spiritual stones, spiritual tools, jade slips, etc. Chu Ci browsed through these items while sorting them out in an orderly manner.

After a rough estimate, the total number of spirit stones in these rings was as much as four or five hundred thousand, which was just enough to make up for the spirit stones he had spent on purchasing the formation flags.

In addition to the storage ring, Chu Ci also got a few silver-gray bags, which looked slightly larger than the spirit beast bag in his hand. The previous zombies came out of these bags, so these should be corpse bags.

Chu Ci also learned about the name of the corpse bag from a book. Many monks who refine zombies would hang this kind of bag on their bodies. During battle, they would release the zombies inside to attack their opponents.

Chu Ci put the bag away and continued to check other items.

There are also many jade slips in the ring, which record a secret technique on how to refine living people into zombies. After being refined, this kind of zombie has its own independent consciousness and is absolutely loyal to the owner. It can also be put into the corpse bag at any time.

Chu Ci did not study it carefully. After all, this method of refining corpses from living people was a bit too inhumane.

Suddenly, a book of martial arts caught Chu Ci's attention.

He took it in his hand and examined it carefully. On the black back cover, the large words "Draw Blood and Flow Magical Power" came into view.

As soon as he saw the name, he knew that this was a kind of magical skill, and Chu Ci immediately became interested.

He couldn't wait to read it. This method was quite profound and difficult to understand. It was not until the next day at noon that he slowly closed the book and took a deep breath.

Although the name of this "Blood-Sucking Magic Technique" sounds a bit evil, it is actually an extremely powerful magic technique. It has a unique cultivation mechanism, which is different from any technique Chu Ci has practiced before. It can quickly transform the essence and blood in the body into cultivation, thereby achieving a leap in combat power in a short period of time.

But this leap is not without price. In the process of cultivation, one must pay with one's own blood and essence in exchange.

This consumption is very large, and can even be said to be very dangerous. Therefore, for practitioners, how to balance the improvement of combat effectiveness and the consumption of blood essence has become a crucial issue.

This exercise also records a method that can quickly restore blood and essence, but this method is extremely evil and cruel.

A huge blood pool needs to be built and filled with the blood of living people. Then, spiritual herbs with sexual properties such as black magic grass and wolf flower are thrown into the pool. Practitioners need to immerse themselves in the blood pool to practice another special technique, which is to restore their blood essence by absorbing the blood and power of spiritual herbs in the pool.

Chu Ci looked at the martial arts book in his hand, wondering whether it would be effective to use the golden pen to directly copy this magical martial arts method, so he decided to give it a try after returning.

After all, the temptation for him to have a technique that can quickly improve his cultivation is also quite great.

When Chu Ci arrived at Peng Qi's room, it was almost noon. Peng Qi immediately stood up to greet Chu Ci.

"How is your recovery, fellow Daoist?" Chu Ci asked.

Peng Qi nodded: "I am ready and can set off at any time."

More than ten thousand miles was not too far for the two of them.

Chu Ci asked Peng Qi about the Tianyin Sect while flying. From Peng Qi, Chu Ci learned that most of the Tianyin Sect members were magic cultivators, and they all practiced magic techniques.

In fact, there are quite a few demon cultivators in the world of immortals, especially in places like the Black Wind Country, where the vast majority of cultivators practice demonic techniques.

But in Jin State, there are relatively few demon cultivators, so the Tianyin Sect seems somewhat unique here.

Peng Qi was only an outer sect member of the Tianyin Sect and didn't know much about the affairs within the sect. He only knew that the Tianyin Sect was divided into more than a dozen branches, and he only knew the situations of a few of them.

The first is the Demon Shadow Hall, where the monks practice magic skills that increase their speed. They are known for their swiftness in battle and can often deliver fatal blows when the enemy is caught off guard.

The second is the Soul Refining Hall, which specializes in refining the souls of cultivators as a means of attack. Its techniques are extremely strange and hard to guard against.

The most powerful one is the Soul Chasing Hall, which is a killer organization in the Tianyin Sect, specializing in eliminating dissidents. The monks in the hall are all top assassins who can kill people silently.

In addition, Peng Qi also mentioned the Immortal Corpse Hall. It is said that all the monks in this hall refine zombies. They use special methods to transform corpses into powerful combat puppets to enhance their own strength. Chu Ci guessed that the square-faced man and others were likely from this Immortal Corpse Hall.
