Tang Wanzhuang went straight to Jinling that day. Zhao Changhe, who should have felt that staying in the Tang family was completely meaningless, did not rush to leave as before.

Instead, he stayed quietly in the guest house and wrote another set of sword techniques for Si Si, preparing to hand it over to Tang Buqi.

It was as if the storms outside didn't exist at all.

Writing another set of sword techniques was not only not annoying, but also a bit amusing.

Just like Tang Buqi, Zhao Changhe initially thought that Tang Wanzhuang was all about official business and didn't seem like a real person. But in the end, he discovered that she also made some small plans for her family. The saintly image that only existed in his impression suddenly collapsed, but he didn't feel any collapse. Instead, he felt that this was how a person should be.

Just like the intertwined arms at night, so real and soft, coming out of the illusory world of the Heavenly Book Realm and solidifying in front of him.

So "Tang Chancellor" became Tang Wanzhuang.

Writing sword techniques was not only a way to familiarize himself with swordsmanship, but also a way to calm his mind.

During the day, he wrote sword techniques, and at night, he studied the "Moon Reflection in Water" mental technique and the "Water Treading on Waves" lightness technique taught by Tang Wanzhuang with the assistance of the Heavenly Book.

This mental technique was not for cultivating internal energy, but rather a supplementary technique, similar to the "Ice Heart Technique" in many stories. If the mind was clear like ice, nothing could shake it.

And "Moon Reflection in Water" not only had the effect of focusing the mind and eliminating distractions, but it was also an upgraded version of what Yue Hongling had taught him before on how to use the five senses to observe and perceive the surroundings. Every subtle change in the surroundings, from the five senses to the heart, would dispel illusions and reflect the true essence.

This was extremely advantageous in battle. At least, he wasn't afraid of deceptive moves or illusions and could find the most accurate solution.

Therefore, the prerequisite for practicing it was to calm down, slow down, observe everything around, experience the cleansing of music, and appreciate the beauty of Taihu Lake. How could a restless mind that only knew about fighting and killing understand such meaning?

Why did the lightness technique "Water Treading on Waves" require this mental technique as a foundation?

It was all about perceiving the flow of air and the weight of water in the surroundings, seeing through them at a glance, and making use of them.

This already involved the understanding of the heavens and the earth, how to make use of them, and not just a matter of self-cultivation. Compared to the Blood God Sect's "Bloodless Steps," it was simply not in the same league.

Perhaps all the different techniques in the world ultimately led to the same goal. Yue Hongling must also have a similar set of techniques, but at that time, his level was not enough, and his five senses were not sensitive enough. How could he skip the five senses and directly enter the mind?

In fact, even now, it was still not enough. Zhao Changhe suspected that this thing must be most suitable after opening the secret treasure. After all, it was getting close to the concepts of "spiritual perception" and "divine consciousness." The things given by the third rank of the Earth List were not a joke...

For now, the most effective method was to focus the mind, which could stabilize the spiritual platform and prevent it from being invaded by inner demons.

So the originally useless Bloodthirsty Bead could come in handy.

After eating at the Tang family for another three days, thoroughly understanding the "Moon Reflection in Water" mental technique, Zhao Changhe finally took out the bead that had been ignored in the corner and began his long-stagnant Bloodthirsty Technique cultivation.

......

The most significant difference between cultivating the Bloodthirsty Technique and other techniques was that it not only required energy and nutrients, but also bloodthirsty aura. Without the core bloodthirsty aura, the Bloodthirsty Technique would lose its power that surpassed other techniques.

At this level, everyone had more or less the same energy and nutrients. Eating well and drinking well, along with some auxiliary medicines, was enough. Unless you had some extraordinary luck and obtained some heavenly treasures, it was difficult for anyone to have any special advantages in this aspect.

After all, what everyone saw was basically things from the mortal world. At most, they could compare whose medicine was slightly better. Now, Zhao Changhe was already at the top level in this aspect—this was also the reason why he didn't firmly deny his identity as the prince with a swollen face. It was also the "fortune" that he thought was useful at the time. Without resources, it was really hard to achieve anything.

Nutrients were at the maximum level, so what he needed now was something else.

Finding things to nurture the bloodthirsty aura was not as difficult as finding heavenly treasures. In simple terms, even killing more people could nurture the bloodthirsty aura. There were many condensed objects with fierce auras, such as a knife stained with blood or a dragon sparrow. The tomb of the Sword Emperor was filled with bloodthirsty aura, but it was difficult to refine and use them.

If you dared to absorb the bloodthirsty aura of a dragon sparrow, you would be slapped in the face.

Anyway, the things were not hard to find. One of Zhao Changhe's goals in going to Jiangnan was to find these things. After going around in circles, he finally officially started.

Zhao Changhe carefully infused a trace of true energy to sense the universe inside the bead.

As soon as he sensed it, a rush of murderous aura, ferocity, regret, unwillingness, and fear surged into his mind. It had no energy, impure bloodthirsty aura, and was useless. It made him want to throw this thing away immediately.

Hmm, that's what Maitreya did.

If it were in the past, Zhao Changhe would have thrown it away, but now he had the mental technique.He let these chaotic energies rush towards his soul. In the state of his soul reflecting the moon on the water, he could almost feel a group of little demons gnawing at the tightly closed door. However, his spiritual platform was stable, his soul was closed, and these "little demons" were futilely hitting, but they couldn't open that door.

This must be the "heart demon", if they were to be materialized.

This bead was just a corner inlay material for the blood god to build the array. After the erosion of the era, it had lost its former grandeur. What if it was something more ferocious? Zhao Changhe was not sure whether this newly learned method could still hold the spiritual platform.

Anyway, it can hold it now, why worry about the future?

Zhao Changhe was determined, without saying a word, he probed into his own evil energy and made contact with the evil energy in the bead.

He could almost hear a "boom", the bead began to tremble, the evil energy contained within started to roll violently, rushing towards Zhao Changhe's flesh and blood, as if to tear it apart.

The effect of evil energy backlash that he hadn't experienced for a long time began to hurt again. Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth, let the evil energy wash over him, combined with his own blood, and step by step, he absorbed it and made it his own.

This is nurturing evil, nurturing evil with oneself.

When nurtured to a certain extent, the evil energy roars, blood is everywhere, the power is infinite, even gods and Buddhas would vanish into thin air, let alone ordinary enemies? They would only be scared to the point of their legs going soft in the face of such violent evil.

It's a typical evil skill, a demonic skill, but no matter how righteous Yue Hongling is, or how upright Tang Wanzhuang is, no one opposes him practicing evil skills.

The skill depends on the person using it.

As long as he is upright and uses it for the right purpose, then the evil skill is also a divine skill.

.........

Zhao Changhe didn't know how many days he had been practicing. Anyway, he wrote scores during the day and practiced the method at night. Later, he practiced the method and light skill during the day and nurtured evil at night.

After a few days, he still felt that it was not enough to break through the sixth level of the Blood Evil Skill, but Zhao Changhe no longer felt the previous impatience.

Take it slow, it's not like eating or drinking, many heroes have practiced for so many years, and he has only been half a year.

As long as he feels that he is making progress, one day he will naturally break through.

"Knock knock knock~" The knocking sound rang out, and Tang Buqi shouted from outside: "Brother Zhao, sorry to disturb you, is your sword score ready?"

Zhao Changhe opened his eyes, a flash of bloodthirsty in his eyes: "It was ready a few days ago, but I didn't have time to find you. You can take it now that you're here, it's on the window sill."

Tang Buqi pushed the door open, carrying a pot of wine and walked in: "My aunt just left, and Maitreya has already raised his troops. In a few days, various places in Jiangnan have responded, and it has become a sweeping trend. Today, Hangzhou and Wuxing are gone."

"Isn't that expected?"

"Yes, another expected thing is that the court's reaction is slow, and the heavenly soldiers haven't come yet."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "It seems you're quite relaxed?"

Tang Buqi sighed: "Relaxed? Suzhou is now the front line. Do you know why I haven't come to get the sword score for so many days? I'm too busy, running around in circles. Maitreya won't stop until he takes Suzhou. His vanguard general, the Ten Bodhisattvas Fasheng, is probably already on his way from Wuxing, coming around Taihu Lake. You should leave as soon as possible, once the city is besieged, you won't be able to leave."

Zhao Changhe was stunned.

He knew that Maitreya's momentum would rise quickly, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

It's only been a few days, and the enemy is already at the gate.
