Chapter 682: Light-Snatching Shadow Technique
The mountain-moving order Xuantong technique that the middle-aged cultivator took out was also extremely lethal. After all, a peak of a hundred feet suddenly fell from the sky, and even a Yuanying cultivator would be in a panic.
However, this Xuantong technique also has a disadvantage, that is, the effect that can be exerted on the vast sea of the Eastern Territory is greatly reduced.
After all, in this vast sea, it is very common to have no people within a hundred miles, let alone a thousand miles or ten thousand miles. In such an environment, the mountain-moving order Xuantong technique can only be helpless and can not play any role.
This may be the reason why the middle-aged cultivator took it out for exchange.
Although Xiao Lin was somewhat interested in the mountain-moving order Xuantong technique, he did not take any action. In his opinion, the disadvantages of this Xuantong technique were too obvious. If there were no peaks within a hundred feet within a hundred miles, or only large mountains above a hundred feet, it would not be able to exert its power at all.
In contrast, his own sky blue magic sand can indeed be sacrificed at any time, and it can be sent and received at will, which is very convenient.
"I am willing to exchange this Feng Dun Jue Fa Seal with you for this Xuan Tong, how about it?" At this time, a hunchbacked old man in his fifties stood up, took out a jade box from his star ring, looked at the middle-aged monk and said.
The middle-aged monk heard this, but his face did not show joy, but a gloomy face, showing a thoughtful expression.
After a while, he shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist's Feng Dun Jue, although it is also considered a top escape technique, it is time-consuming and laborious to practice. What I want to exchange is a secret technique or a similar magical power. The seal is not considered for the time being."
The hunchbacked old man heard this, and his face showed a lost expression, and he sat back.
"I wonder if I can use this light-skimming shadow-escaping technique to exchange for fellow Daoist's Xuan Tong technique?" As soon as the hunchbacked old man sat down, a bald man in his thirties stood up with a yellowed thin book in his hand.
"Light-snatching and Shadow-escaping Technique"
"Isn't this the unique secret technique of Master Snake Bone in the Five Poison Valley of Kuangfeng Island?"
Everyone looked at the bald man at the same time when they heard this.
Master Snake Bone is also a demon cultivator who dominates one side. He is good at all kinds of strange poisons and likes to raise snakes, so the Five Poison Valley has always been called the Ten Thousand Snake Valley. It is rumored that this old man Snake Bone went into the mountains to collect herbs when he was young.
He was attacked by a tiger beast and his life was at stake. At the critical moment, a poisonous python suddenly appeared and swallowed the tiger beast, saving his life.
After surviving the disaster, he suddenly had an idea in his mind and quietly followed the poisonous python into a valley, where there was actually a cave of an ancient cultivator.
That ancient cultivator was the famous old man of ten thousand poisons in ancient times, who even caused unrest in the Yushui Palace.
Master Snake Bone inherited the mantle of the old man Wan Du, and practiced hard in the Snake Valley. After more than two hundred years, he advanced to the late stage of Jindan, and then came out of retreat and traveled in the Eastern Territory.
Master Snake Bone was cruel and vicious. Anyone who offended him died suddenly within a few days. Even a Yuanying elder of the Yu Shui Palace was accidentally poisoned by him. He had no choice but to flee back to the Yu Shui Palace.
However, since then, Master Snake Bone has been in bad luck. The Yu Shui Palace elder who was poisoned by him but not dead, immediately began to hunt him down after his injury healed.
He was hunted down like a stray dog, and he was in a state of panic all day long. However, it was precisely because of his light-skimming and shadow-escaping technique that he was able to escape his life many times and was not torn into pieces by the furious Yu Shui Palace elder.
But no matter how mysterious the light-skimming and shadow-escaping technique that Master Snake Bone practiced was, he was still at the Golden Core stage, and he almost died several times.
He thought he was destined to be unable to escape the clutches of that woman, but the sixth leader of the Six Paths Demon Palace suddenly appeared by chance, and after a fierce battle, the elder of the Yu Shui Palace was seriously injured and fled again.
It is said that not long after returning to the Yu Shui Palace, he passed away due to his serious injuries.
After this catastrophe, Master Snake Bone finally began to restrain his brutality. Not only did he submit to the Six Paths Demon Palace and become one of the 72 outer islands of the Six Paths Demon Palace, but he also worshipped the leader as his teacher.
After returning to Kuangfeng Island, he practiced in seclusion. After nearly two hundred years, he was actually promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Master Snake Bone's nature sprouted again and began to do evil. It is rumored that he not only likes to abduct women from the Xiuxian world for his pleasure, but also eats them once he gets tired of them.
Even many demon cultivators in the Six Paths Demon Palace could not stand his cruel style, but his magic power was profound. After becoming the disciple of the leader, he practiced the magic skills, which could be said to be a dual cultivation of immortals and demons.
There were also several Yuanying cultivators who could not stand it and came to kill him, wanting to enforce justice, but they were all defeated and fled by him, and one of them even died on Kuangfeng Island.
In addition, with the Six Paths Demon Palace behind him, over time, no one bothered him anymore.
And this old demon also knew how to advance and retreat. The women he kidnapped gradually changed from cultivators to ordinary mortals. As a result, fewer and fewer people came to seek revenge.
In recent years, after advancing to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, this old demon has been in seclusion for many years and rarely appears in the Eastern Territory. However, there are still many disciples of Kuangfeng Island who are training outside.
Lin Cang, who was standing aside, also looked at the bald man with doubt on his face.
The big man heard the discussion around him, but sneered and said, "I can't take out the complete version. Once this book of the Light-Snatching Shadow Technique is practiced, it can only exert about 50% of its power. Even so, it can increase its speed by more than two times."
"It turns out to be a fragment."
"It's said that only Master Snake Bone has successfully practiced the complete Light-Snatching Shadow Technique, and his disciples have only been taught the first two levels."
"But even the first two levels are precious. In exchange for the Mountain Moving Order, each has its own merits."
When the middle-aged monk heard about the Light-Snatching Shadow Technique, his face was full of surprise, but when he heard that it was only a fragment, his face suddenly showed disappointment.
However, after thinking for a moment, he agreed to the exchange.
After the middle-aged monk left, a slightly plump woman in her twenties came up and looked around at everyone.
"I want to use this Fire-Splitting Stone Thunder Secret Art to exchange for a secret art suitable for gold-attributed immortal cultivators."
Fire-Splitting Stone Thunder is a divine thunder that is refined by extracting the power of the earth veins' true fire and fusing it with the energy of stone and soil in the deep ground. It can be stored in the dantian for warming at ordinary times, and can be suddenly used when fighting with the enemy, which can be said to be hard to defend against.
Xiao Lin was somewhat interested in this Fire-Splitting Stone Thunder Secret Art, but he did not have a secret art suitable for gold-attributed cultivators. Moreover, this Fire-Splitting Stone Thunder was only an ordinary secret art. It might be a threat to Jindan cultivators, but it would not work at all for Yuanying cultivators.
After settling down for a period of time, Xiao Lin planned to try to form a baby. Once he advanced to the Yuanying stage, he would look down on this secret art.
But Xiao Lin's lack of interest did not mean that the others were the same. Soon, an old man exchanged the Fire-Splitting Stone Thunder Secret Art with her by using a gold-attributed Yuansha Jinxia Secret Art.
Then, people continued to bring out various secret arts, which really opened Xiao Lin's eyes. He also sighed in his heart that it was worthwhile for him to stay and participate in this trade fair.
There are many kinds of secret arts in the world of immortal cultivation. Basically, every sect has a secret art that has been passed down. Even some small and medium-sized sects and immortal cultivation families have secret arts that have been passed down.
Most of these secret arts have average power, and most of them are secret arts such as thunder and fire. Usually, these thunder and fire secret arts cannot escape the category of five elements secret arts, and they all belong to acquired power.
The truly superior secret arts in the world of immortal cultivation are to sacrifice some innate power, such as the innate purple thunder on Xiao Lin's Qingluan Thunder Sword. If it is condensed into the innate purple thunder bead through secret arts, then once it is sacrificed, the power can be described as terrifying.
However, this kind of secret art is usually inherited by some powerful cultivators or in some large and medium-sized sects, and it is also strictly forbidden to be passed on to others. At such a trade fair, it is basically not seen.
