Chapter 585 Taoism

"I think you think too highly of yourself." Richard's voice was full of disdain.

"You can only attract a few soldiers at most. Even if you make a big fuss, the immortal who killed the White Wolf King will only let him take a look."

People always fall into the thinking mode of the emperor using a golden hoe, thinking that the big things in their eyes are also big things in the eyes of others. But in fact, the big things in the eyes of many people are nothing to people in higher positions.

Not to mention that Bai is just a second-level creature, a guard trained by a family. Even if Bai has now transcended the ordinary and reached the state before Richard became a great wizard, he is just a big bug in the eyes of the immortal.

At most, he can only kill a few aristocratic families.

And for a world master, there are as many tools as aristocratic families.

Richard's mockery made Bai fall into silence. He could feel that Richard was really not afraid of the immortal who overthrew the White Wolf King.

Could it be that there were creatures comparable to the White Wolf King in ancient times?

Throwing away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Bai continued to interrogate.

After obtaining the Taoist technique of gathering and dispersing qi, Richard no longer paid attention to Bai's movements.

Taoism is much more important than interrogation.

This Taoist technique called gathering and dispersing qi, according to the Taoist, is of the fifth grade, and it is considered a top-notch method even in the fairyland. Once cultivated, the body can be temporarily transformed into energy clouds, which is very effective in defending against physical attacks.

However, in Richard's view, his introduction is pure fart.

Using this technology to defend against physical attacks is like using a nuclear fusion reactor to barbecue. You ask if it can be used in this way, yes, but it is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Energy is transformed into a complex body, and naturally it can also be transformed into other substances.

Because if this thing is thoroughly studied, it means that most of the materials in this world are no longer rare.

After copying the Taoist technique of gathering and dispersing qi into the magic book, Richard immediately began to study this magical technology.

It is very simple to practice the gathering and dispersing of qi. It only requires the user to have a strong enough soul, that is, strong enough mental power to practice.

There are no requirements for blood and energy. From werewolves to wild beasts, all are qualified to practice.

When practicing, the Taoist needs to construct a talisman in the soul, and this talisman is the essence of this method.

Richard spent some time to imitate and make a talisman, and then walked out of the floating city to start experiments in the star world - the laboratory of the floating city could not withstand Richard's fabrication, and it was better to be safe when experimenting with this unknown spell.

The floating city turned into a stream of light at Richard's feet and flew away. After Richard was sure that it had gone far away, he began the first Taoist experiment.

Boom!

After activating the Taoist magic, one of Richard's fingers suddenly exploded and turned into something like a cloud. The shock wave of the explosion even caused a large ether vortex in the star world.

"Good guy, it's a good thing that we didn't experiment in the laboratory."

Richard looked at this scene and said happily with some relief.

If this experiment was conducted in the laboratory, let alone his complete dispersion, the power of this finger spreading out would be enough to overload the energy barrier of the laboratory.

After spreading out his fingers, Richard's mind moved, and the dispersed mist gathered back and turned into a finger again.

"...How is this possible?" Richard said with some horror.

As soon as his mind moved, a complex rune composed of energy appeared in front of him.

This rune is the talisman needed to use the gathering and dispersion of qi, and its function, in addition to serving as a spell model, is also responsible for the recording function.

In other words, this talisman is like a machine. Before using the gathering and dispersion of qi, it will record your body information, and after using the gathering and dispersion of qi to explode, it will combine the body back through the information you previously input.

To be honest, this method is just described, and Richard feels a little incredible.

If according to his insight, does it mean that if he inputs the information of refined gold into the talisman, the talisman can transform the energy into a piece of refined gold for him. If this is really possible, then the civilization that masters this technology can be said to be invincible.

Richard dare not imagine, if the wizard's magic clothes are all made of high-grade materials such as refined gold and mithril, how strong will their combat power be?

No, if it really comes to that, the battlefield will be the stage for alchemical puppets.

The puppet army made of refined gold shell, mithril pipeline, Austrian steel skeleton, and various top-grade materials will dominate the battlefield of low-end combat power. No matter how many galaxy mayflies there are, they will only be conquered by wizards.

But how could a civilization that masters this technology fall to the point where the big world is destroyed?

No, it is not necessarily the fragments of the big world. It is not difficult for a civilization that masters this technology to turn the secret realm into a vehicle like a floating city.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that his conjecture is correct.

This Taoist technique is still a black box to Richard. It is not the behavior of a mature wizard to draw conclusions too early.

After dispersing the talisman, Richard turned into a stream of light and flew rapidly towards the floating city in the distance.

…

After digging the fleshworm out of the Taoist's body, a white-hot flame shot out from Bai's prosthetic limb, burning the Taoist's body in the energy net into ashes.

After interrogating him, Bai was sure that this Taoist really knew nothing and was just a wandering Taoist who did things for money.

However, it didn't matter if he couldn't get anything out of the interrogation.

Anyway, the young master he was going to protect had been rescued by the Xianshui Luo family. If the people who attacked the Quan family were from the Xianshui Luo family, then he only needed to rescue the young master from the Luo family. If not, then he would go to the Luo family and continue to serve as the young master's bodyguard.

As a shadow guard, protecting the young master was Bai's creed in life. If he lost this creed, his life would be meaningless.

After digging out the metal skeletons in the courtyard one by one, Bai dug a big pit on the spot and buried these skeletons. Among these skeletons were his companions, his teachers, and some of the adults of the Quan family whom he respected.

Except for the young master, this pit almost buried his past.

After filling the pit, the sun set, Bai bowed to the tomb without a tombstone, and then turned and left.

"Has it been killed?"

Richard's voice suddenly sounded in Bai's ears.

"I've killed him."

"Forget it, where are you going next? If you're not in a hurry, you can help me catch two Taoists. I need some research materials."

"...Evil ghost, what do you think of life?"

"I have to say that before I said this, you just killed someone."

"I have a grudge against him that must be avenged."

"If you can kill people just because you have a grudge, then just think that I have a grudge against all the Taoists in this world. These fools who hold a mountain of treasures and don't know it deserve to be killed."

Bai didn't say anything else. He felt a familiar smell in Richard's tone. And that smell he had only smelled in the voice of the head of the dog family.

The same disregard for life, the same indifference.

This evil ghost named Richard, like the head of the dog family, is a member of the group called "big people".

...

Da da da, da da da.

The pure black majestic horse galloped on the road, and the bowl-sized horse hooves left deep horse hoof prints on the solid dirt road with every step.

On the back of the horse was a warrior wearing a straw hat and a raincoat. But unlike the black fur of ordinary werewolves, the warrior's fur was gray and looked like he was aging prematurely.

This man was Bai, who was heading to the fairy water Luo family.

Suddenly, Bai reined in his horse and stopped in the middle of the road.

Not far from him, a team of warriors wearing masks and black armor were blocking the road. Behind the black warrior, a raging fire was burning, and the shrill screams and wails were even clearly audible to Bai hundreds of meters away.

"Why did we meet the village massacre again?" A helpless voice sounded in Bai's ears. Richard looked at the black warrior and the burning village behind the warrior through his artificial eyes, and couldn't help complaining, "The road you chose is a bit difficult to walk."

The village massacre, this world temporarily named by Richard as the fairyland, is a must-try part.

In this family ruled by aristocratic families, the children of aristocratic families and ordinary civilians are equivalent to two races.

A noble family can dig out the eyes of a commoner just because the commoner looked at him. Or he can kidnap a commoner's wife or daughter just because he likes her, and then kill her as a souvenir after playing with her.

Meat screens and beauty papers are common operations in this world. Shi Hu and Gao Yang are just ordinary people here.

In Richard's impression, only Tantra and Slaanesh can be compared with those noble families.

For the noble families, the commoners are weeds on the ground. As long as they are not killed, there will always be new weeds growing.

In the list of elixir materials required by the fairyland, a material called blood essence is in great demand. Blood essence is not born, but is extracted from the blood of living things.

And this blood can be used from wild beasts or humans.

Therefore, slaughtering the village has become an inevitable part when blood essence is not enough - the noble families are not crazy, a wild beast can fight against more than a hundred people, and it is easier to extract. Unless it is necessary, no one will do such a loss-making business as slaughtering the village.

"Evil ghost, I'm going to do it." Bai said calmly.

"Yeah." Richard replied absentmindedly.

Although killing all these warriors cannot solve the problem of the aristocratic family slaughtering the village, it is also a temporary solution. Richard has no complaints about his subordinates having a simple sense of justice. No one would like a group of perverts under his command.

Moreover, slaughtering warriors is not completely useless.

The tools used by the aristocratic family to refine blood essence are the product of Taoism, and the tools of different aristocratic families are different. Collecting more of them just gives Richard more research materials.

Get off the horse and draw the sword.

The black-armored warriors saw this scene and drew their swords.

Not all people are monsters like the aristocratic family. There will always be people who can't stand things like slaughtering the village.
