Chapter 102 Where Did A-Xia Go?

Upon returning from Yoshiwara's geisha district, Taiichi immediately sought out Tamayo upon entering.

"Another demon's blood?" Tamayo took the test tube from the hand. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she secretly thought to herself, "I wonder which demon is so unlucky..."

"This is the last tube for now."

Taiyi walked to the workbench, looked at the pills arranged in the ceramic plate, picked one up, examined its quality, and spoke.

You can't keep targeting the same sheep when it comes to fleecing it, or the sheep will become depressed.

"But to be honest, I didn't expect that using ghost blood to refine pills would have such good results."

As they were talking, Taiyi put the pill into his mouth, while Tamayo, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye.

[Essence +10]

[Qi and blood +10]

Yes, the improvement is very obvious, equivalent to the total energy I gain from breathing exercises for a whole day from the Yang energy.

As Taiyi's understanding of Qi deepened, he gradually realized that the spiritual energy that roams between heaven and earth is actually divided into two types.

One is Qian Yang, and the other is Kun Yin.

If you want to cultivate Qi, you must start with this. When Qian Yang is cultivated to its extreme, it becomes the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, also known as the Yang Spirit. When Kun Yin Qi is cultivated, it becomes the Pure Yin Primordial Spirit, also known as the Yin Spirit.

As the sun and moon alternate, the two energies generally maintain a state of balance.

However, in times of peace and stability, there is more Yang energy (Qian), while in times of chaos, there is more Yin energy (Kun).

This is why great talents emerge in prosperous times, while great monsters emerge in chaotic times.

This indirectly led to the fact that major sects that cultivated the Qianyang technique liked to send their disciples down the mountain to eliminate demons and monsters, thus maintaining peace in the world.

Those who cultivate Yin energy enjoy creating bloodshed and wreaking havoc on the world.

From a personal perspective, there is no right or wrong; it's all for one's own self-cultivation.

"If Muzan knew this principle, he should have developed more followers, accumulated enough, and then taken back the blood that was parasitizing his followers."

"This way, his strength will improve much faster than if he were to fiddle with things blindly on his own, even..."

"To break free from dependence on the blue spider lily."

Taiyi walked into the courtyard, looked up at the bright moon, and murmured softly.

In his eyes, Muzan was an incredibly lucky person.

Although he had fallen ill, under the doctor's treatment, he actually skipped the stage of drawing qi into the body and directly condensed the Five Yin Body, reaching the stage of refining the form with the Five Qi.

Even with his own system and all his hard work, he only completed two-thirds of the Five Elements Convergence and Sun Refinement, while Muzan was just one step away from directly condensing into the Five Yin Body.

However, I was in a bad state of mind at the time and broke down, killing the doctor. This resulted in the missing one ingredient, which was also the most crucial ingredient: the blue spider lily.

Seeds absorb the earth's energy, or Yin energy, in the soil for a whole year before they bloom once, and then wither quickly after blooming.

This extremely yin plant is exactly what Muzan needs most, and it is also the key to completing the "Kun" element in his Yinless state.

"But there's a problem. That day, whether it was intentional or just a show of bravado, Sakura Dragon made a few remarks to Muzan. If he comes to his senses, I'm afraid the number of demons might..."

cracking!

Just as Taiichi was frowning, pondering what the Sakura Dragon meant, a huge bird-like figure, seemingly about to obscure the entire space, fell from the sky.

"Sword Master." The blue peacock, nearly six meters tall excluding its tail feathers, quickly approached Taiyi on its two legs after landing, lowered its head, and respectfully continued:

"In the Kamiyashiki area, traces of a demon have been discovered."

Ok?

"where?"

"That demon... is in Lord Aoki's... mansion, and is... fighting with the guards."

Hiss~ Whoosh~

Taiyi took a deep breath, slowly extended his palm, and touched the blue peacock's head.

The other party cooperated by closing their eyes and making a gesture as if they were about to enjoy it, and then handed over the bird's head.

Boom~!

With a muffled thud, Blue Peacock nearly fell to the ground, while Taiyi, who had flicked her forehead, was no longer there, leaving only a sentence in the air.

"When you report things in the future, speak a little faster."

Tamayo, who happened to be at the door, leaned out of the door frame and looked at the blue peacock with its mosquito-coil eyes. She couldn't help but touch her forehead and gasp.

......

With his toes barely touching the ground, Taiyi was about to arrive at Matsudaira Aoki's residence as he floated through the air.

During the move, I couldn't help but feel a headache coming on from my pet blue peacock.

Because it constantly basked in spiritual energy and frequently consumed discarded pills and dregs, this peacock developed abnormally quickly.

And for some unknown reason, after the peacock learned to speak, it didn't call itself "Master" but "Sword Master."

What caught Taiyi's attention even more was that the blue peacock's tail feathers also had three colors of feathers.

"It seems we should give Fu Zhi, Senta, and Sakiri some more responsibility. How come their growth rate is slower than that of a peacock?"

However, this thought was fleeting, because Taiichi had already arrived above the Matsudaira Aoki residence.

Seeing the grotesque, twisted form that looked like it was made up of seven or eight people pieced together, Taiyi didn't even bother to ask any questions. Before the man landed, he drew his sword and swung it in mid-air.

Whoosh!

The cannibal was chasing a guard and was about to grab his food when he suddenly realized that he couldn't feel his lower body.

Looking down, I found that my upper body had already flown out, while my lower body remained standing in place.

Before it could even express itself, a scorching heat surged from the severed wound, instantly turning it to ashes.

[General point +10]

"Is its strength the same as the Iron Demon I killed the first time?"

Looking at the man-eating demon that had been restored to its former state of oblivion, Taiichi recalled the scene of his first battle with a demon.

I've become so much stronger without even realizing it...

After landing, Taiichi ignored the panicked guards around him and went straight to the large house where Matsudaira Aoki was.

"My lord, the demon has been slain by me, you can rest assured."

Pulling open the paper door, I saw Matsudaira Aoki standing in the middle, guarded by two samurai on each side, holding a katana in both hands. He was looking at me with a surprised expression. Aoki lowered his eyelids and said calmly.

"Hoo~" Matsudaira Aoki slowly put down his sword, patted his chest, closed his eyes and let out a long breath. Only then did he realize that his clothes, soaked with sweat, were chilling to the bone as the air blew by.

"Thank goodness you're here, Taiichi, please have a seat."

Matsudaira Aoki gestured for the samurai beside him to step back, then regained his composure and sat on the mat, raising his hand to Taiichi.

"My lord, where is A-Xia? Isn't she guarding you?"

Taiyi didn't sit down, but stood at the doorway, frowning as he asked.

When he landed, he released his divine sense and scanned the entire mansion, but found that he did not see A-Xia.

When I went to Himeji Domain, I heard that Aya had gone on a mission.

When he returned, more than ten days had passed, and almost a month had gone by in total, he discovered that A-Xia still hadn't come back.

However, given that the other party was Matsudaira Aoki's personal ninja bodyguard and also his daughter, he felt embarrassed to ask too many questions.

But after arriving here today, Taiyi thought of Axia again, and a strange sense of tension suddenly rose in his heart!
