Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats
#21 - Waiting for the right time
Li Chengfeng slowly said, "Master, I naturally don't want to damage this spiritual herb, but I'm not entirely unprepared.
I hold the spiritual herb in my hand, Master, and I don't trust you enough to hand it over. If you wanted to take my life, what could I do?"
Tianku slightly nodded, praising, "Indeed, worthy of being my disciple, with courage and wisdom. Whatever you want, just ask."
Li Chengfeng said in a deep voice, "Master, as long as you can impart all the cultivation methods of the 'Flourishing Decay Celestial Art' to me, I will trust you.
Otherwise, I would rather be destroyed with the jade, and go to the Yellow Springs with these three spiritual herbs."
Each of these three spiritual herbs was obtained by Li Chengfeng after much investigation, and he knew that their value was extraordinary, equivalent to several thousand low-grade spiritual stones, that is, worth three thousand low-grade spiritual stones, which is enough to show their preciousness.
Tianku's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, chuckling, "Boy, you are indeed shrewd. However, I must remind you.
This cultivation method is an ancient, incomplete relic, weathered by time. I only obtained it by chance. I don't possess the true, complete cultivation method either.
If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Having said that, he tossed out a dark, grayish-green jade slip.
Li Chengfeng cautiously retreated a few steps, carefully using a nearby dry branch to catch the jade slip, and examined it closely with his divine sense.
As expected, he found the name of the 'Flourishing Decay Celestial Art', but it was covered with a layer of light green powder, obviously a potent poison.
Seeing Li Chengfeng so cautious, Tianku couldn't help but smile and say, "Disciple, you are indeed careful. However, this poison isn't aimed at you, but a precaution I take when traveling the world. Rest assured."
Li Chengfeng nodded, blew away the poison on it, and then took the jade slip in his hand. He had a prodigious memory, and after just a glance, he memorized the cultivation method inside.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Master, I have memorized the cultivation method, and I can give you the spiritual herb. But you must swear not to harm me, otherwise, I will not be at ease."
Tianku's expression darkened, but in the end, he solemnly made the oath.
Li Chengfeng was stalling for time, searching for the matching techniques of the 'Flourishing Decay Celestial Art', suitable for cultivation below the Foundation Establishment stage, such as the Yin-Yang Finger, Life-Death Step, etc.
Among them, the Flourishing Decay Finger was even more domineering, condensing the Qi of life and death, piercing through with a single point, causing the struck person to rot and die.
In addition, there was also the movement technique, the Life-Death Step, the Wind-Cloud Life-Death Step, one step life, one step death, implying the alternation of Yin and Yang, life and death at will.
Li Chengfeng knew the power of this cultivation method, and his heart became vigilant.
He understood that if Tianku really used the Life-Death Step, he would probably be unable to escape. But things had come to this, and he could only grit his teeth and take a gamble.
Faced with Tianku's fierce attack, Li Chengfeng quickly took countermeasures.
A wisp of blood shadow within his body quickly detached and condensed into a shield, protecting him.
He decisively threw out the spiritual herb as bait.
Tianku disappeared in an instant, his speed astonishing, and the spiritual herb was firmly caught by him.
Immediately afterward, he pointed out a finger, precisely the legendary Flourishing Decay Finger, the fingertip half green, half gray, symbolizing the interweaving of life and death, accompanied by the blessing of the Book of Life and Death, this finger almost instantly arrived in front of Li Chengfeng.
However, Li Chengfeng was prepared, and the blood shadow instantly blocked in front of him. With a "bang", the blood shadow was blasted by the Flourishing Decay Finger.
But Li Chengfeng escaped the disaster because of this. He took a deep breath and calmly launched his counterattack.
Eight blood shadows suddenly rushed out from around the ground, straight at Tianku, each blood shadow holding a modified Yin-Yang Blood Blade, their speed and power causing Tianku to be momentarily flustered.
He didn't expect Li Chengfeng to have such means, that his finger hadn't directly finished off the opponent, but was blocked by the blood shadow.
This made him realize that Li Chengfeng was no ordinary person, and the killing intent in his heart was even greater. However, Li Chengfeng didn't give him a chance. Under the cover of the blood shadows, he had already quickly fled the scene.
Tianku chased after him relentlessly, knowing that although these blood shadows were powerful, if he couldn't catch Li Chengfeng himself, everything would be in vain.
At this moment, eight blood shadows also followed out, entangling Tianku, buying him a second of time.
Tianku was indeed a master with rich combat experience. He used the Flourishing Decay Finger plus the blessing of the Life-Death Step, instantly blasting two blood shadows, causing Li Chengfeng's spirit to be damaged, almost causing him to vomit blood.
However, Li Chengfeng relied on his powerful soul force to endure.
He knew that these blood shadows were connected to his mind, and the loss of three blood shadows was a huge blow to him. But he had no time to regret it and had to escape as soon as possible.
Tianku's sinister voice came: "Boy, your speed is too slow, even with these weird blood shadows you can't stop me.
Your strength is still too weak, too weak. However, this time I won't kill you, as long as you contribute this cultivation method to me, I will spare your life. What do you think?"
However, Li Chengfeng knew that this was just Tianku's delaying tactic, and he was even more determined to escape.
He knew that Tianku had already made up his mind to kill himself, an uncontrollable risk. But he also believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would definitely be able to find a glimmer of hope.
These blood shadows were extremely tricky, each reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining, and even bursting out with the powerful strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Therefore, Tianku had no choice but to use the Life-Death Step, doing his best to quickly get rid of them.
Each time he used the Flourishing Decay Finger, the spiritual power it consumed was also extremely astonishing. Although the Flourishing Decay Finger was extremely powerful, he could only use it six times in a row before exhausting all his spiritual power, at which point he would fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
So, he suddenly waved his hand, and a flying sword cut through the sky. This was a top-grade spiritual weapon, carrying a sharp sword Qi, directly approaching Li Chengfeng's back.
Li Chengfeng didn't have an advantage in speed, but he quickly threw out more than a dozen low-grade talismans. These talismans were instantly activated, releasing rolling stones, fireballs, and sharp blades, forming an overwhelming offensive, temporarily blocking the flying sword.
Li Chengfeng then displayed his profound spiritual power. Although he was also only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, his spiritual power was equivalent to that of ten cultivators of the same level.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning flashed, and countless poisonous rain broke through the air and fell.
Tianku cleverly used a gourd-shaped magic weapon to protect himself. His body was covered in a layer of light golden light, so that these thunder and lightning could only stir up layers of ripples on it, but could not hurt him in the slightest.
Tianku let out a strange laugh, mocking, "Good disciple, your fighting experience is still too shallow, there is only a dead end."
However, at this time, the flying sword had already approached Li Chengfeng's vitals.
Li Chengfeng remained calm, waiting for the best opportunity.
According to his deduction of the cultivation method, he knew that Tianku had already used the Flourishing Decay Finger three times, and could use it three more times.
If he delayed for a moment, Tianku would only have two fingers of power left.
However, the most terrifying thing was Tianku's speed, almost surpassing the flying sword.
When Li Chengfeng used the Yin-Yang Fireball to knock away the flying sword, Tianku had already arrived in front of Li Chengfeng and used the Flourishing Decay Finger again.
Tianku was also feeling very troubled. Although Li Chengfeng's strength was not strong, he was extremely cunning. With his amazing speed, he had repeatedly allowed him to escape, which made him feel annoyed.
