This time, there was no sorrow of parting like before.

Zhao Changhe felt a bit of joy in his heart, and his mood was extremely relaxed.

We'll see each other next time, right? You wait.

Although he had the desire to pursue this time, he still hesitated and shrank back. It was not purely influenced by admiration, but more mixed with a subconscious feeling of "not deserving" his own strength.

She said that my strength shouldn't be much worse than hers.

With such words, apart from those experienced men, not many men could have the face to make a move.

But next time, things will be different... Zhao Changhe is very confident about this, even though he knows it won't be as fast as before.

It's not just about the higher energy and more difficult techniques required for breakthroughs in the later stages.

Fortune and misfortune have always been intertwined. The drawbacks of his meridians being fixed due to martial arts training since adulthood have made it difficult for his internal strength to progress. However, his excellent physique and vigorous blood happen to be very compatible with the Blood Slaughter Technique, which has brought him great advantages in its cultivation. Coupled with his exceptional talent in martial arts and the unique compatibility and boosting effect of the Six Harmonies Divine Technique, he has achieved the miracle of reaching the fifth level in just half a year.

But at least he has already enjoyed the benefits of this physique to a large extent.

From recent shallow attempts, he has increasingly felt that the Blood Separation Method is starting to involve mental illusions, not to mention that Tang Wanzhuang has started to play with refraction... The strength required for further cultivation is obviously gradually entering the realm of "non-human", and this ordinary physique can no longer provide much support. At most, it can only be said to have a good foundation, but it will definitely not be as fast as before and will inevitably slow down.

Otherwise, someone like Wan Dongliu, who is also a genius, has only reached the sixth level of Xuan Guan after practicing martial arts since childhood and is not much worse than you in any aspect. Even if there is a gap in talent, it won't be too big. Those who can make it onto the Qianlong List are all talents that the heavens believe have surpassed ordinary people in potential. There is no dimensional difference between being on the same list, let alone someone like Wan Dongliu, who is also rare on the Qianlong List. It is really difficult to be faster than him.

But Zhao Changhe is still very confident.

His talent has now been verified, and it is unquestionable to say that his talent is extraordinary. Since his talent is not a problem, and now he has the Heavenly Book in his hands, if he can't make faster progress than others, then he has really wasted such an opportunity.

Before, he learned a little bit of everything, which was not Yue Hongling's worry about being greedy. In fact, it was just a process of verification and testing. Zhao Changhe has always been well aware of this.

Now that Yue Hongling has left and there is nothing else to do, the first thing Zhao Changhe did was to ask for ink, paper, and inkstone from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and lock the door to write.

When he finished memorizing the Blood Slaughter Technique's secret manual back then, he didn't bring it with him when he left the mountain stronghold. Now, if he wants to dissect the Blood Slaughter Technique with the Heavenly Book, he can only painstakingly write it down and even use the drawing skills he has never learned to draw the example diagrams.

When Tang Wanzhuang suggested that Zhao Changhe learn these things, he agreed verbally, but he never thought that martial arts training would really be related to writing and drawing. Is this what the Chinese teacher meant when he said that learning math also requires a good foundation in language, otherwise you won't be able to write essays?

Fortunately, the secret manual is just a thin booklet, and apart from a large number of diagrams, it's actually only a few thousand words. If it were a thick book with hundreds of thousands of words, Zhao Changhe didn't know if he would jump into the river.

After a whole day of tossing, he finally copied the secret manual. Zhao Changhe immediately placed the gold foil together and silently watched the changes in the gold foil.

At this time, the gold foil was still repeatedly showing his battle with Wan Dongliu. Zhao Changhe knew that this kind of replay also had reference and error correction value, but he really didn't have the heart to watch it carefully at this time.

Sure enough, after a while, the battle scene on the gold foil turned into the background, and the analysis of the Blood Slaughter Technique began to appear in the center.

Zhao Changhe sat up straight and carefully read it for a long time, sighing softly.

It's almost as expected...

The gold foil can analyze existing content and improve the parts it considers to be rubbish, but it won't provide additional content at a higher level.

For example, the limit of the Blissful Great Method is the Secret Treasury level, and the gold foil did not provide any more powerful expansions. Now, the Blood Slaughter Technique is the same. The secret manual originally lacked the cultivation methods for the subsequent Secret Treasury level, and it still lacks them now, stopping at the ninth level of Xuan Guan.And the so-called improvement does not mean that all the shortcomings are fixed. The Blissful Great Law only improved the lowest part, adjusted the nature of the dual cultivation technique, and Zhao Changhe didn't believe it was perfect in other aspects, but Jinbao didn't care. There is no perfect technique. If everything is improved, can it still be called the Blissful Great Law?

The Blood Slaughter Technique is the same. Jinbao made some changes, but it didn't solve the problem of the invasion of evil spirits that Zhao Changhe wanted to solve the most.

It optimized the execution of the "God and Buddha Scatter" move, reduced the consumption, and made the flaws not so obvious. For the move that can completely make people lose their minds, "Heaven and Earth Without Me," it slightly optimized the state of overflowing blood slaughter, leaving a trace of clarity in the spiritual platform, which is a glimmer of hope.

He has always had only one unique skill that has been thoroughly understood by others, and now it has been improved, which is quite important...

The Blood Slaughter Knife Technique originally had seven unique skills, including three at the Xuan Guan level and three at the Secret level, and one that Zhao Changhe didn't know what it was. After the Secret level, there are no more contents in the secret book, let alone this move. Jinbao is currently displaying the improvement of the third unique skill at the Xuan Guan level, but that thing can only be used if one reaches the eighth level of Xuan Guan, and Zhao Changhe temporarily has no intention to study it.

Because these improvements are only at the "technique" level, they are of no help to the "law".

Especially the pain caused by the invasion of the blood slaughter has not been alleviated, but has been explained in detail.

In Jinbao's eyes, the Blood Slaughter Technique should be like this. If you want to use such evil spirits to harm the enemy, you must bear the backlash of these evil spirits. It is only natural. Once the core of this kind of technique is changed, it may no longer be the Blood Slaughter Technique, and it may be called the Blood God Technique.

It is the same as what Cui Wenjing said at the beginning... It is very likely that the Blood Slaughter Technique is the original form, and the Blood God Technique is the product after the improvement. After restraining the evil spirits, its power may not be as good as the Blood Slaughter Technique.

Cui Wenjing is ranked ninth on the Heavenly List, and his judgments on martial arts are basically theorems that are rarely overturned.

Zhao Changhe sighed, but also understood that the effect of force is mutual. When firing a gun, you also have to bear the recoil. How can evil spirits be so obedient? Unless one's level is enough to become its master one day, otherwise one must confront it.

How to become the master?

Of course, it cannot be told by these mere Xuan Guan level secret books.

Zhao Changhe put away the golden foil, walked out in big strides, and went to the Cao Gang to visit Wan Dongliu.

......

The people of the Cao Gang were extremely surprised that Zhao Changhe dared to come and "visit the Young Gang Leader" so openly, but what surprised them even more was the order from the Young Gang Leader inside: "Treat the guest with courtesy and invite Brother Zhao to have a conversation in the room."

The people of the Cao Gang silently led Zhao Changhe to Wan Dongliu's sickroom.

The servants and maidservants in the room had already been dismissed, and there was no one within ten zhang of the room.

Zhao Changhe looked at Wan Dongliu, who was wrapped up like a zongzi, and sighed, "How can someone as cautious as you be stolen by a thief?"

"My mask was in my arms. The other party has extraordinary skills and is impossible to guard against. It's not like I carelessly left it somewhere and got stolen." Wan Dongliu also sighed, "It's your attitude that I can't understand. Do you also have a mask? Take it out and let me see which brother it belongs to. You hide it so tightly that it makes me feel like I'm being attacked for no reason."

"I don't. But I have always had good intentions towards the Four Elephant Sect and the Blood God Sect, whether you believe it or not."

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

A smile flashed in Wan Dongliu's eyes. "I'm afraid there is another reason... Forget it, I believe you."

Zhao Changhe stared at him for a long time, feeling quite sighful in his heart.

The belief in sects is really amazing. This guy has been so badly injured, but it's just because he seems to have an unusual relationship with the sect, and he really has no resentment at all. This kind of casual attitude as if treating his own people is much more real than the awkward feeling that always appeared in the play.

Next time I see Chi Chi, I should get to know the Four Elephant Sect itself. I had too little understanding of it before, and it seems that I missed out on a lot of things.

Wan Dongliu said leisurely, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. My father is on his way here from Jinling, and you will suffer if he bumps into you."

"You have a high position in the Four Elephant Sect. Can you help me get the secret part of the Blood Slaughter Technique from the subordinate Blood God Sect? Can you do it?"

"Why do you want that thing? Why not directly ask for the Blood God Technique?"

"I only want the Blood Slaughter Technique. Can't I confront it? Of course, if I can get the Blood God Technique as well, it would be good to study them together."Wan Dongliu relaxed completely, "I was wondering what the urgent matter was. You risked being attacked to find me just for this... If you really want the Blood God Technique, I'm afraid it won't be easy. That's their sect's treasured technique. Unless Rosefinch gives the order, Xue Canghai wouldn't dare to disobey. My words don't carry that much weight. But if you just want the Blood Slaughter Technique, that should be simple. Hang around in Yangzhou for a couple of days."

"Two days will be enough? Don't tell me the Blood God Sect's headquarters is nearby?"

"It's not here, it's far away. But there is a branch nearby. Finding the Blood Slaughter Technique in the branch isn't a difficult task. The Blood God Sect clearly doesn't treasure this technique. They even plan to use the pain of the evil energy invasion in combination with their specially made pills to control people. They let anyone learn it..."

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I know more about this than you do. The Blood God Sect only lets people learn the Xuan Guan part. What I want is the secret part, which won't be in the branch."

Wan Dongliu was somewhat surprised, "You're not ready to peek into the secrets yet, are you? What's the rush?"

Zhao Changhe wanted the Heavenly Book to analyze the complete version, to see if there was a specific guide to control the evil energy, rather than just enduring it as he was doing now. This was his most important concern. Of course, he couldn't reveal this, so he simply said, "I only have half of the secret manual. Who can be at ease? If one doesn't worry about the future, there will be troubles in the near future. I need to settle this matter first."

"Then I'm afraid I can't help with this."

"Just tell me where the headquarters is."

"It's in Wushan. It would be more convenient for you to take a boat."

Zhao Changhe felt that Sect Leader Xue was becoming more pitiful.

The headquarters was in Wushan, yet a large number of elites, including himself, were sent to the icy and snowy lands to search for something for the Four Elephant Sect. What a pathetic situation for a sect leader...

Speaking of which, the Blood God Sect's attributes didn't quite match the name of Wushan. If it were the Maitreya Heavenly Maiden in Wushan, it would make more sense.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changhe suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Wan, you know a lot about the Maitreya Sect. Do they have Heavenly Maidens who cause trouble at the fourth level of Xuan Guan?"

"At that level, even if they are called Heavenly Maidens, it's just a glorified title. It's like any sergeant in the army being called a general out of respect. In reality, this is just the level that the Maitreya Sect specifically sends out to seduce and control people. The Prefect's concubine is one of them. Although she is called a Heavenly Maiden, she is not a real high-level Heavenly Maiden of the sect."

Zhao Changhe nodded. This explanation matched his initial judgment of the Flower Picking Heavenly Maiden. It should be like this, right?

But why did she give off such a strange feeling... Especially in the end, when the whole of Yangzhou was searching for the Maitreya Sect, she still had the courage to secretly follow him, taking advantage of his evil energy outbreak to launch a surprise attack. This kind of courage and cunning, is it something a low-level Heavenly Maiden, who is specifically raised by a Maitreya Sect branch to seduce people, should have?

She imitated Yue Hongling's tone and mentality, and in the end, even Yue Hongling had to admit that maybe she, as an observer, was playing the real Yue Hongling.

No matter how you look at it, she seems to be a formidable and troublesome person...

But her cultivation is really low, and her combat skills are immature!
