"It turns out that the big leech is a thousand-year-old spiritual leech, and it has eaten a lot of earth dragon fruit here!" Yan Liqiang rubbed his face and muttered to himself, "It seems that I sucked the essence and blood of the big leech dry. It seems that the big leech got the advantage in the end!"
Although he knew the name of the giant leech, Yan Liqiang still didn't know why, after the amount of true energy he injected into the giant leech exceeded the limit of the giant leech's capacity, the giant leech began to inject its essence energy into his body. Could this be the legendary "full essence overflows"? This was a complete mess. It was estimated that except for the dead ten thousand year old leech, no one knew what was going on.
Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, Thousand-Faced **, these two names made Yan Liqiang have countless fantasies. However, judging from this person's message, he should be a person who thinks highly of himself and is both good and evil. Although Yan Liqiang has never heard of this name, he estimates that this name may have been very powerful in those days.
After taking a final look at the corpse lying on the bed, Yan Liqiang bowed to it and said, "Thank you for your guidance. If I can get out, it is all thanks to you. Since you gave me a secret book, I will accept it and will not bother you any more!"
After saying that, Yan Liqiang left the room and returned to the pharmacy next door that he had just entered. After searching under the bottom of the medicine cauldron, he found a metal box.
Yan Liqiang took a deep breath with excitement, and opened the box as if he was opening an Easter egg. He then saw a secret book in the box - "Thousand Faces of Magic".
Taking the secret book in his hand, Yan Liqiang felt that the material of the secret book was neither gold nor paper, which was very strange. It seemed to be very similar to the material of the half of the secret book of the Golden Bell Body Protection Magic that he had obtained that day. Yan Liqiang, who was extremely curious, opened the first page of the secret book and saw the first two lines of words in the secret book at once.
The first line of words—The face can change in a thousand ways, but don’t lose sight of your original intention!
The second line of words - Only those who have reached the advanced level of martial arts, whose whole body is full of essence and have condensed the essence of the cauldron can practice this.
What does this mean? Could it be that this secret book is to teach people how to change faces? One actually has to advance to the Martial Sect level before being eligible to practice it!
Yan Liqiang continued to flip through the pages, and when he saw the content behind it, his eyes widened. Damn, this secret book really teaches people how to change faces, but the content of this secret book is too unbelievable. The face-changing technique taught in it does not rely on drugs or human skin masks or the like, but relies on practicing this secret method to control the bones, tendons, muscles, vocal cords, skin, and even certain glands in the human body to change height, body shape and even appearance. The reason why practicing this "Thousand Faces Magic Skill" requires practitioners to advance to the martial arts sect is that only those who have advanced to the martial arts sect have strong control over their bodies and rich essence, so that they will not be injured by this secret method after practicing it, and offset the side effects of changing faces!
Yan Liqiang was shocked after just a quick look at the "Thousand Faces Magical Skill". If this magic skill was mastered, he could transform into thousands of incarnations and travel all over the world.
Yan Liqiang held the secret book of "Thousand Faces of Magical Skills" in his hands, his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes relaxed, and he was fascinated by it!
An unknown amount of time had passed, but when he felt his stomach growling, Yan Liqiang finally took his eyes off the secret book. By this time, he had basically memorized the entire contents of the secret book in his mind.
Putting away the secret book, Yan Liqiang came to the garden behind the stone house and found a thing growing on the ground. It was gray-yellow in appearance and shaped like a watermelon. He cut it open and found flesh inside. He tried to eat a small bit and found that it was salty and sweet, soft in the mouth, and had a unique taste. After eating it, after a while, he did not feel any discomfort in his body. Instead, he felt a warmth rising from his lower abdomen. He then opened his stomach and ate the whole fleshy fruit. He felt that he had endless energy again.
"Luckily, I've made arrangements for my family and the Kyudo Club before I came out this time. With so many people looking after me, it'll only be about half a year. Outsiders don't know my current situation. Even if I can't go back for the time being, I don't think there will be any trouble. No one dares to mess with me. Well, there's no point in being anxious now. I can only stay here temporarily and treat it as a retreat!"
After a full stomach, Yan Liqiang looked at the surrounding environment, wiped his mouth, and decided to stay here temporarily. Anyway, there was no point in being anxious now. Since he was here, he might as well use this time to consolidate his current cultivation realm. This time, he inexplicably advanced to the Martial Sect. Although his strength improved by leaps and bounds, Yan Liqiang always felt uneasy and had a sense of illusion. Moreover, he did not have a good control over his own strength. Now he just used this half year to let himself settle down, so that he could feel at ease. Of course, with this half year, he could practice the "Thousand Faces Magic Skill" and then go out again. This time, he can completely throw Guo Shanfeng's mask into the trash can.
Thinking of this, Yan Liqiang cleaned up the medicine room in the stone house and settled down there.
In the following days, Yan Liqiang lived a secluded life in the cave. Every day he was either meditating and practicing qigong, or practicing martial arts. Later, he practiced the "Thousand Faces Divine Art".
It's strange to say, Yan Liqiang originally thought that the body of the thousand-year-old leech would rot in a few days after its death. If that thing rotted, he was going to throw it into the underground river to avoid polluting the space here. But the strange thing is that for some unknown reason, the body of the thousand-year-old leech did not rot after death, but just dehydrated and shrank like rubber, and the body became more solid and elastic. In this way, the huge body of the thousand-year-old leech became Yan Liqiang's training prop. Every day, Yan Liqiang would drag the thousand-year-old leech's huge body, which weighed who knows how many tons, around the cave for a few laps to vent his energy and hone his strength. After he was tired, he would use the Yijing Xisui Jing to restore and strengthen his body.
During this kind of training, Yan Liqiang's strength not only settled down at the level of Wu Zong, but also advanced by leaps and bounds. In particular, Yan Liqiang's current strength was so great that it was frightening. Yan Liqiang didn't even know if the thousand-year-old leech had passed its strength to him. Anyway, he now felt that with just one punch, even without using internal force, but only brute force, he could easily knock his fist into the hard rock wall.
And with his current level of cultivation, if he could perform a powerful boxing technique like Bajiquan, the power would be more than three to five times greater than before. When Yan Liqiang punched, the whole cave was like thunder, and even the stalagmites and crystal clusters on the top of the cave could be shaken down by him.
The cultivation of the Thousand Faces Divine Art was also rapid...
…
One day more than two months later, Yan Liqiang stood by the pond in the cave, looking at his reflection in the pond after he transformed himself with the Thousand Faces Magic Skill. He couldn't help but wink and make eyes - the reflection in the water had completely grown into the "overwhelmingly beautiful" appearance that Yan Liqiang had in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm before...
As Yan Liqiang's muscles and bones made a crisp sound, the face, height and body shape reflected in the water began to ripple again, slowly turning into Yan Liqiang's original appearance, and Yan Liqiang burst into laughter...
