Mortals ask the immortals

Chapter 320: The Secret Art of Face Reading

The two entered the city from the west gate of Liuyue City. The west of the city was not as lively as the south, but there were still many people on the street.

Duan Qing walked quickly towards the Tongtian Tower in the center of the city with a cold face. Lin Ziyu beside him looked around from time to time, with excitement on her face.

It was already afternoon when the two arrived at Liuyue City. Even if they hurried, it was already sunset when they approached the monk area several miles around the Tongtian Tower.

Duan Qing went directly back to the house where Xia Wushuang sent him, while Lin Ziyu found an inn in the mortal area to stay. Even though she wanted to spend more time with Duan Qing, after all, there was a difference between men and women, so she couldn't follow Duan Qing back to his residence.

When Duan Qing returned to the house next to the market, it was completely dark. Looking at the countless empty wine pots in the yard, he sighed heavily and was in no mood to clean up. He found a room and pushed the door and walked in.

The room was very simple, without any extra decorations. There was a lot of dust on the tables and chairs. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time, and there were many empty wine bottles on the floor.

It seemed that Luo Xi's death was a huge blow to Senior Xia Wushuang, so much so that he drank to drown his sorrows all day long!

Love is really the most hurtful thing! Didn't he also want to die for Senior Sister Su's matter?

He scanned the room. Fortunately, the bed was clean and tidy. Duan Qing didn't bother to care about other things. He walked to the bed and lay down directly.

After a day of tossing and turning, especially facing the black-armored man in the Yin Qi formation, his nerves were always tense, and even with his body, he felt a little tired.

This time, he was able to escape from death and escape from the black-armored man. It was really lucky!

Originally, I thought there was only the Questioning Heart Realm Ghost King in the Ghost Forest, but who would have thought that a black-armored man who surpassed the Ghost King would appear. If Wu Ziyi and his group hadn't followed secretly and held the black-armored man in the Yin Qi formation, it might not be so easy to get away this time!

Thinking of Wu Ziyi and his group, Duan Qing still had some sighs in his heart. Only when facing life and death can one see the human heart best!

He saw clearly outside the Yin Qi formation. The middle-aged man in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm showed that he obeyed Wu Ziyi's orders. Unexpectedly, in order to get away, he did not hesitate to attack Wu Ziyi!

However, he did not feel sympathy for Wu Ziyi. This time, he brought four people in the Questioning Heart Realm to follow him and Lin Ziyu, and the three of them in the middle stage of the Questioning Heart Realm attacked him as soon as they appeared. It is self-evident what he was thinking.

He must be jealous of Lin Ziyu, and he didn't like him as a "rival in love" and wanted to get rid of him!

The only intersection between him and Wu Ziyi was the meeting at the market entrance yesterday. He didn't even say a word, but he wanted to kill him. Such a narrow-minded person deserved to die!

Although he was almost not injured in this trip to the Ghost Forest, it was extremely dangerous when he really thought about it.

Whether it was the black-armored man or the four people in the Questioning Heart Realm led by Wu Ziyi, either side had the strength to absolutely crush him, and they were all his opponents. If he faced any of them alone, he might fall!

In the final analysis, his cultivation was too low, and he did not have enough strength to deal with various emergencies. He still had to break through the Questioning Heart Realm as soon as possible!

Duan Qing sat up from the bed with a carp jump. Now was not the time to rest.

But at this time, his mentality was a little impetuous and not suitable for cultivation, so he took out two jade slips from his bag, one of which was the alchemy technique he bought yesterday, and the jade slip of the secret technique of physiognomy he got from Shi Yaogan.

Putting the jade slip of the alchemy technique aside first, Duan Qing immersed himself in the jade slip of the secret technique of physiognomy to observe it. This technique allowed Shi Yaogan to be sure that his cultivation was in the late stage of Transcendental Transformation, which made him quite interested.

After two incense sticks, Duan Qing put away the jade slip with a thoughtful expression.

Strictly speaking, this technique cannot be considered a technique, nor can it directly tell the cultivator's practice, but a technique of physiognomy.

And it is also quite simple, mainly to infer the approximate age by observing the face.

However, unlike judging the age by experience, this technique is subtle, and it is extremely accurate to infer the age of a person by judging the subtle texture on the face, breath, voice, and even walking gait.

Shi Yaogan probably saw his actual age through this technique, and then inferred that he was in the late stage of Transcendental Age based on his young age!

After all, cultivators are different from ordinary people. Some cultivators may look like young people, but they may be hundreds of years old or even older!

According to the memory of Yuan Wuwu, when a cultivator breaks through the state of questioning the mind, his appearance will be roughly fixed, and then unless he takes the initiative to adjust it, there will be almost no major changes until his life span is exhausted.

Therefore, it is almost difficult to judge the age of a cultivator based on appearance alone.

Similarly, if a cultivator deliberately conceals his cultivation, the Qi-Viewing Technique will not work unless his cultivation is much higher than that of the other party. Just like when he was in Jinxuan Sect, he used the Qi-Condensing Technique with his Qi-Condensing Technique at the Qi-Practicing Stage. Even his master, Sanyan Zhenren, could not see through his true cultivation without getting close to him.

If he cannot even see through the other party's cultivation, how can he let go in the battle? He will definitely be restrained.

So although Shi Yaogan's physiognomy secret technique is not a real technique, in Duan Qing's opinion, its value is not inferior to the real technique, and it is even more practical.

With this technique, combined with the Qi-Viewing Technique, even if the other party hides his true cultivation, as long as he knows his age, he can roughly guess his true cultivation.

If a strong man in the Spiritual Sea Realm looks like a young man and deliberately hides his cultivation, he looks like he is only in the Transcendent Realm.

If you only observe with the Qi-Watching Technique, you can't see the other party's true cultivation level at all. If you really fight, you will probably suffer a great loss!

After having this technique, although the Qi-Watching Technique cannot see the other party's true cultivation level, if you can guess the other party's age, you will know that it is unreasonable for a person who has lived for hundreds of years to be so young in the Transcendent Realm, so you can prepare in advance.

However, this technique has an obvious disadvantage, which is that it is not very accurate for people who have disguised themselves, but it is not absolute.

Because this technique is not only about observing people's faces, but also supplemented by voice, walking gait, etc., to make comprehensive guesses.

Unless you completely change your body shape, appearance, voice, or even the way you walk, it is difficult to deceive this technique.

Speaking of which, when he faced Shi Yaogan that day, he changed his appearance with the Phantom Spirit Pearl, but he was still guessed by him. It seems that it is because he only changed his appearance, but his body shape, voice, etc. did not change.

Although this technique is not complicated, it still needs to be practiced in practice. Therefore, Duan Qing only understood its principles, put away the jade slip, and picked up the jade slip of alchemy next to him to observe.

Alchemy is much more complicated than the previous face-reading secret technique. Even though he had watched it all night by the Moon Spring Lake, he still only touched the surface.
