I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

It is said to be a shangfang, but in fact it is just a simple tile-roofed house in the countryside.

Gu Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, carefully moved his consciousness closer to the next room.

Gu Xiu showed his spiritual consciousness before he fell into the realm. Now that he has returned to the fifth level of Qi refining, and fed back by the insect wheel, his spiritual consciousness has already exceeded the strength of the ordinary fifth level of Qi refining.

What's more, the person opposite was only at the third level of cultivation, and his spiritual consciousness had not yet been revealed. He was as blind in front of Gu Xiu.

A trace of ghostly aura filled the man's body. Gu Xiu waited patiently. After a while, the man opened his eyes and emerged from the exercise.

He held his heart and exhaled softly, his sinister eyes as terrifying as bloodthirsty.

"It's true that things have not been going well in recent days. The ghost mother who has worked so hard to support is so vulnerable. I'm afraid the person who came is not a disciple of some immortal sect?"

The man murmured to himself, and a look of fear gradually emerged, "Well, fortunately, the ghost baby was not discovered. After I hide it for a few days and then collect it, I should be able to barely heal the injury. I can't stay here any longer."

After muttering, the man swallowed a few dark pills and closed his eyes again.

Withdrawing his consciousness, Gu Xiu smiled slightly, "Okay, I never thought that the ghost baby could survive without its ghost mother, so I will wait for you for a few days."

After running the technique and activating the spiritual roots in his body, Gu Xiu could now see three spiritual roots clearly. He could only see black and red insects clinging to the thickest wood spiritual root.

After this period of devouring, most of the wood spirit roots that were originally filled with habitats are now exposed, with only a group of insect wheels at the bottom of the roots.

One of the bugs was unusually large, much larger than the soybean-sized bugs around it. It also had a black wing growing out of its back. The extremely thin black wings had golden lines running through them, and the surrounding bugs worshiped like courtiers. Clear up a large space.

Thinking together, Gu Xiu tried to communicate with the single-winged insect.

What are you?

After a long time, Gu Xiu heard a subtle sound of flapping wings. The single-winged black insect slowly flapped its wings, and then a message was transmitted into Gu Xiu's sea of ​​consciousness.

cicada!

"Huh?" Gu Xiu frowned slightly. He could see the cicada, but what kind of cicada was it?

There is no record in the "Encyclopedia of Monsters, Beasts and Ferocious Insects in the Immortal World" excerpted by Xu Ziqi.

Thinking again, Gu Xiu asked, "How were you born, and how did you come out with me?"

…

…

For a long time, the single-winged black cicada had a puzzled expression like a human being. It vibrated its single wings wildly, but in the end it did not give an answer and fell asleep lying on the wood root.

The inquiry was fruitless, and Gu Xiu didn't pay attention. He could tell that the cicada seemed to have incomplete intelligence, probably the same as a newborn baby of the ordinary human race.

Abandoning distracting thoughts, Gu Xiu slowly closed his eyes, holding a piece of wood-attribute spirit stone in each hand and slowly absorbing it. Although the person opposite was of low level, his movements were too big to avoid disturbing others.

The exercises Xu Ziqi gave were just ordinary basic Qi-refining techniques. According to him, all the laws in the world belong to the great clans, and the laws are not spread to others.

Naturally, their kind of casual cultivators will not be able to obtain any brilliant methods, or they will fall into the evil method of magic and just seek to make rapid progress. Either it depends on chance. If you can encounter a Dan Jie or Nascent Soul Cave and get its inheritance, then you will have a truly profound blessing.

However, this opportunity is rare, so most casual practitioners rely on this basic Qi refining method to survive.

Xu Ziqi also encountered some opportunities, but unfortunately they were not inherited, so until he established the foundation, all he had were still basic techniques.

Xu Ziqi, who has no high-level magic skills, only has two trump cards when he encounters danger.

One is physical fitness.

Xu Ziqi's body is quite powerful, and physical training methods are even more rare. However, Xu Ziqi and his master have discovered that the horizontal training skills of Jianghu sects in the secular world are quite effective in the Qi refining state.

Below the fifth level of Qi refining, he is actually not much different from an ordinary martial artist.

Qi-refining monks rely on spiritual talismans and magic weapons to attack, but not everyone has magic weapons. If a qi-refining monk without a magic weapon is approached by a top-notch warrior, it will be a disaster.

One of the travel notes records that Xu Ziqi witnessed with his own eyes that a casual cultivator on the third level of Qi Refining was punched in the heart by a martial artist who came close to him.

From then on, Xu Ziqi looked at worldly warriors in a different light.

After his master died, Xu Ziqi found the armored sect of the Henglian sect, which was the number one in Anguo at that time, and used a blindfold to change his appearance and body to sneak into the sect and secretly learn the Henglian method.

Later, Xu Ziqi secretly studied and mastered it, and Xu Ziqi had his own insights and combined them together to achieve extraordinary results.

From then on, when Xu Ziqi was in trouble and could be beaten, he always showed weakness and hit people on the head with his fists, which worked repeatedly.

According to Xu Ziqi, when he had not yet established the foundation, he could kill any monk in the same realm who was not above the tenth level of Qi Refining and did not have a protective magical weapon.

However, Xu Ziqi later discovered that he had actually been caught cheating on his studies, because he could change his appearance but not his bone age through blinders. However, the head of the armored sect at that time did not reveal it in order to preserve the sect.

For this reason, Xu Ziqi was quite impressed.

But Gu Xiu thinks that it doesn't have to be that troublesome. There are countless magic methods in the world of immortality. There is a kind of magic specifically for mortals called "God Control Technique". This magic can control mortals and make them obey orders, and then they will become stupid.

This technique is quite useless, but it is a pity that Xu Ziqi was too kind-hearted and did not practice it and did not teach it to him.

Closer to home, Xu Ziqi’s second trump card is his ability to escape.

Back then, he only listened to half of his master's words and was the best at escaping.

When he was in doubt, he ran away first, so Xu Ziqi practiced two world-class light kung fu movements, as well as several secret escape techniques that drained blood and essence.

All of these were passed to Gu Xiu one by one.

Gu Xiu slowly absorbed the spiritual energy, and he no longer thought about it. He didn't really care about the method.

The high-level method has a wider and broader route to absorb spiritual energy, but for Gu Xiu, he doesn't really need to rely on the method to absorb spiritual energy all day.

Because now the insect wheel in his body is the real supreme method, the blood food of the cultivator is faster than absorbing the mixed spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is a single kind of spiritual energy.

It's a pity that his cultivation is too low now, and he has to rely on spiritual energy to raise his cultivation before he can let go.

A pair of narrow eyes stared at the opposite room, and Gu Xiu's heart was like a dragon raising its head.

It's almost time, swallow that guy and rush to Saibei City, then get the storage... No, after settling the master's wife, go to Heimo Mountain.

There are real dangers and opportunities coexisting there, be cautious, be careful, go to hell, when can you build a foundation if you shrink your head and tail?

At that time, I will let go of my hands and feet, life and death are up to fate, hahahaha!

Gu Xiu had an evil look on his face, and the greed on his pale face gradually became stronger.

For three consecutive days, the man stayed in the room and did not go out.

Gu Xiu would go out to find some food every day as usual, until the evening of the fourth day, when the door of the next room opened.

I saw an old Taoist in a green Taoist robe slowly walked out of the door.

The old Taoist's beard and hair were all white, and his face was like a dead tree with gullies and ravines. It seemed that he was almost half buried in the ground.

Gu Xiu opened his eyes without moving, and he could feel the old Taoist's weak breath and the faint cold ghost aura.

There was no mistake!

"Oh, Master Wang is going out?" The waiter was surprised to see the old Taoist who had not shown up for a few days go out.

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "I just remembered that there is a benefactor who has not yet been destined to meet, so I will go there now."

"Okay, then Taoist priest, please go slowly~"

The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded, looking a bit kind and kind-hearted.

Seeing the old Taoist priest leave the tavern, Gu Xiu walked slowly to the waiter without any hurry.

"Hey, little brother, are you going out too?"

"The old Taoist priest just now looked quite immortal, which immortal mountain is he from?" Gu Xiu answered the question irrelevantly.

"That Taoist priest Wang? We don't know where he came from, but he has been here for several years. This old Taoist priest is really amazing. He is really an accomplished person. He is proficient in fortune-telling, divination, exorcism and disaster relief."

"Oh? So amazing!"

"Of course. The grain shop in the east was haunted two years ago. I saw with my own eyes that Taoist priest Wang held a magic sword and chanted a magic spell to beat the evil ghost to death."

"That's really amazing." After saying that, Gu Xiu walked out of the tavern slowly with his hands behind his back.

The waiter came to his senses and saw Gu Xiu walking away, so he continued to wipe the table covered with oil and wine stains.
