Chapter 99 A Fleeting Glimpse
"When the power of the Buddha is applied to the body, it can greatly increase the body's defensive capabilities, making it indestructible and causing all evil forces to retreat."
As Lin Qing spoke, he drew his sword and slashed at his own arm. However, the blade didn't even leave a white mark; instead, it was knocked away by a tremendous force.
"It's really tough," Lin Qing remarked.
"No need to try. With your inner strength restored, ordinary weapons can't hurt you at all. Moreover, even the fists of ordinary Dan-level martial artists can hardly cause any damage to you." Wang Ling suddenly used his lightness skill and descended from the sky.
Lin Qing was so focused that he didn't notice Wang Ling's arrival until now. He then came to his senses, withdrew his Tathagata Force, and his skin color returned to normal.
"My lord," Lin Qing said, bowing slightly.
Wang Ling glanced at Lin Qing, reached out and grabbed him, pressing his hand on Lin Qing's shoulder. He squeezed it, only to find that the muscles were like cast iron and he couldn't squeeze them at all.
"Entering the Core Formation Realm in March is impressive; your progress is rapid. What stage have you reached in your Three Worlds Tathagata Visualization Technique?"
"I haven't quite calmed down yet," Lin Qing said.
In reality, it wasn't just that he wasn't focused, but that there was basically no change.
This visualization technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even with the support of exceptional martial arts talent, the progress is as slow as a tortoise crawl, so Lin Qing decisively gave up.
He felt that to learn this visualization technique, one either needed to further improve their martial arts talent or directly copy it from others.
Practicing on your own is just too slow.
He had heard that visualization techniques were different from martial arts, and there were very few types. The Three Buddhas Visualization Technique was the orthodox method conferred by the Great Yuan Dynasty, and more than 70% of those who cultivated their spirit and soul learned this visualization technique.
Therefore, obtaining this visualization from a corpse is not as difficult as one might imagine.
After listening, Wang Ling nodded slightly: "The visualization method is extremely difficult to learn, so it's normal not to have even scratched the surface."
As he spoke, he sat down on a chair and said softly, "I have been capturing the Black Dragon Gang's escaped leaders in the prefectural city. With the help of the Yin Yuan Sect, Song Heilong has escaped from the Zhenhun Division many times and committed a lot of murder. Hmph, this villain is hateful. Sooner or later he will fall into my hands, and I will make him wish he were dead."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing suddenly recalled the scene he had just witnessed.
"My lord, Song Heilong is very likely hiding in Wanghailou."
"How credible is the intelligence?" Wang Ling raised an eyebrow.
"I can't confirm whether it's true or false," Lin Qing replied.
"Yes, whether it's true or false, if there are clues, we have to investigate. I'll handle this." Wang Ling nodded, his gaze then falling on Lin Qing's shoulder. "How many tens of thousands of pounds do you have in one arm right now?"
"More than 50,000 jin," Lin Qing said conservatively.
"Fifty thousand catties," Wang Ling murmured. "Ordinary Core Formation Realm martial artists weigh over twenty thousand catties. Your direct combat ability is probably stronger than that of an ordinary late Core Formation Realm martial artist."
"However, you still need to be careful. After entering the Core Formation Realm, the lightness skills and other combat techniques you learned before will need to be replaced. They are too weak and can no longer provide you with any help. You still need to continue practicing the combat techniques of the Tathagata Fist Sutra. This combat technique is extremely profound, and even someone at my level can use it." Wang Ling instructed again.
"Yes, sir!"
"The city has been quite unsettled lately, so be careful and don't wander around. Take this lightness skill; if you can learn it, your self-defense ability will be greatly improved, enough to be used even in the Core Formation Realm or the True Qi Realm." Wang Ling stood up, took out a silk book from his robes, and threw it on the table.
Lin Qing glanced at it and saw that it was a light-body skill called "Swift as a Glimpse".
"Thank you, sir!"
...
Wanghailou (Viewing the Sea Tower)
In a dimly lit room on the top floor, several red candles flickered on the table, casting a dim and eerie glow. On the bed opposite, Deng Qianyu, draped in red gauze, lay languidly, her private parts partially revealed, making the many black-clad martial artists in the room parched.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Song Heilong walked in expressionlessly.
"Sir, you wanted to see me!"
"There are more than a dozen children at the Chen Family School in Dongcheng Lane. I need you to bring them all back within half a month." Deng Qianyu twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers as she spoke, her voice soft and tingling.
Song Heilong's expression changed slightly: "My lord, I have been making frequent moves in the past three months, and the city is in a state of panic. That scoundrel Wang Ling is leading his men to hunt me down all over the city. Making a move now would be too dangerous. We might not even get the child, and we might lose our lives as well."
"Your Black Dragon Gang warriors are nothing but a rabble. If they die, they die. The Thousand Infant Banquet is of utmost importance. What? You dare disobey my orders?" A murderous glint flashed in Deng Qianyu's eyes.
"I wouldn't dare!"
"I won't let you risk your life for nothing. I will lead people to create chaos in the city and create an opportunity for you to make your move. If you succeed, I will bestow upon you the Thousand Evil Divine Skill," Deng Qianyu said leisurely.
"Thank you, sir!" A fiery glint flashed in Song Heilong's eyes.
He has been stuck at the Core Formation Realm for several years. Due to his limited talent, there is no possibility of further improvement in his martial arts realm. If he wants to become stronger, he either needs to cultivate combat techniques or low-level martial arts to accumulate strength and transform his physique, or he needs to learn visualization techniques to absorb evil spirits into his soul.
Thousand Evils is an extremely advanced visualization technique of the Yin Yuan Sect. If one masters it, one can worship multiple evil spirits and receive blessings, which is exactly what he wants.
"I need to make preparations for this matter, so I'll take my leave now!" Song Heilong said, bowing as he withdrew.
...
Three days later.
The sky was dark and shrouded in mist and rain.
Lin Qing was walking home from the crematorium courtyard, accompanied by Wei Dong and Lin Shurou.
"Sister Lin, this is a donkey meat sandwich I specially bought for you from Tianxiang Restaurant. It tastes delicious, please try it." Wei Dong said with concern.
"Thank you, Brother Wei Dong. You are such a considerate and good man," Lin Shurou said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Hahaha." Wei Dong scratched his head and laughed heartily, then asked, "Lin Qing, do you want some? Want a bite?"
Lin Qing didn't turn around, but simply said calmly, "You eat!"
Over the past three months, Wei Dong has been trying to curry favor with Lin Shurou whenever he has the chance, and the two have quickly become close.
Lin Shurou kept giving out friend cards, and Wei Dong was completely infatuated with her every day, so Lin Qing couldn't say anything.
However, he didn't have any feelings for Lin Shurou; this "tea girl" would probably make him cry for a long time if he punched her.
Splash!
Suddenly, a large group of constables, swords in hand and with grave expressions, hurried past the crowd.
Lin Qing saw their solemn expressions and his heart stirred slightly, because he recognized one of them as Li Ping.
"Brother Li, what happened?"
"So it's Brother Lin. That damned Yin Yuan Sect can't even let people have a moment's peace on a rainy day. They say the Red Leaf Pavilion is on fire and some demons are causing slaughter everywhere." Li Ping paused, his attention had been so focused that he hadn't even seen Lin Qing passing by. Only now did he come to his senses.
"Red Leaf Pavilion?" Lin Qing frowned. "That's one of the largest brothels in the inner city, owned by the Jin family. The Yin Yuan Sect is getting more and more arrogant."
"Yes, I've heard that the Yin Yuan Sect seems to be plotting something big in secret. In any case, you should all be careful during this time," Li Ping said.
"Old Li, don't just stand there, hurry up! What if my little sister Qinglan is killed if we're too late?" A constable who was running ahead called out from a distance.
