"Let me think..."

He fell into thought.

He had defense skills, control skills, attack skills, enhancement skills, movement skills seemed to be there too, what was he missing?

Oh, right, he still lacked a remote attack skill.

"Senior, I want to learn the kind of skill that can kill someone from afar."

Liu Zheng said.

"A skill that kills from afar?"

Feng Jizi pondered for a moment.

"There is one, but this technique harms others, harms oneself, and even harms the heavens."

"It's okay, please tell me about it first. If it really doesn't fit, I won't learn it."

He smiled.

Unless there's a complete fast-track training method, a single skill wouldn't greatly impact his strength.

"Hmm... well, I trust your character, young friend."

Feng Jizi hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust Liu Zheng.

"This technique is called Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Arrow. Before casting the spell, one must first torture a spirit beast through various means for forty-nine days. When its resentment reaches the sky, grind it into meat paste in a stone mortar and then consume it."

"The flesh and blood of the spirit beast won't be digested; instead, it will ferment inside the practitioner, and the torments it underwent will all be returned to the caster."

"When needed, the practitioner recites a spell and turns it into a blood arrow to shoot at the enemy."

"The deeper the resentment before the spirit beast's death, the longer it ferments inside the practitioner, the greater the pressure of the spell."

Feng Jizi introduced.

"What counts as a spirit beast?"

"Beings like Phoenix, Divine Dragon, Qilin, Vermilion Bird, and other auspicious beasts are spirit beasts. If an ordinary creature absorbs the essence of the sun and moon or cultivates the Mystic Sect's Righteous Method to become a spirit monster, it is also a spirit beast..."

Feng Jizi suddenly stopped, hesitated for a long time before continuing.

"Cultivators from the human clan who have practiced to attain the Dao can actually be considered spirit beasts."

"Wow, no wonder you didn't really want to teach me, Senior. How did you learn such a sinister spell?"

Liu Zheng smacked his lips.

"I found it in an ancient book. Although this method is an unorthodox way, once you understand its principles, you can deduce the righteous method from it. I deduced a spell to calm the resentment of the dead, but this spell cannot be quickly mastered."

Feng Jizi said.

"Alright then."

He was pondering whether to learn it or not when he suddenly thought of another one of his skills.

"All-Purpose Flesh: The player's flesh can be used as most ritual materials and spellcasting materials, even better than the original required materials."

"Senior, why don't you try using my flesh to see if you can cast this spell?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

"What?"

Feng Jizi looked at him in shock.

"Young friend, although you have the ability of Blood and Flesh Rebirth, I cannot bear to torture a friend. Let's drop this matter."

Feng Jizi resolutely refused.

"No need to torture me, I'll just cut off a piece of flesh and you can see if it works."

Liu Zheng said, and immediately cut off a tentacle for him.

"Alright then."

Seeing that he had already done it, Feng Jizi had to agree.

He took the tentacle and immediately recited the spell.

"Spirit beast weeping blood, spirits and gods know. With this hatred, aid me in killing the enemy."

Feng Jizi pointed his finger, and the tentacle instantly turned into a blood arrow, shooting at the ground.

"Zzz!"

There was a strange sound, and a fist-sized hole appeared on the ground.

Liu Zheng walked over to take a look; the hole was about ten centimeters deep.

"Impressive, impressive."

He was quite satisfied with the power.

"Senior, how does this power compare to normal spellcasting?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's slightly weaker than a normal Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Arrow, but it's still usable."

Feng Jizi gave him a deep look.

Normally crafting a Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Arrow is troublesome, not to mention its limited use.

But Liu Zheng can skip the crafting process, and he himself has the Blood and Flesh Rebirth ability, making it frighteningly convenient.

In layman's terms, it's like turning a sniper gun into a heavy machine gun.

The power of a single shot may be less, but the suppressive and destructive power has increased several levels.

"Alright, since young friend is destined for this technique, I will teach it to you. If you can use it to help the weak and fight demons, then this technique will have found its purpose. However, to quickly master this technique, I need to borrow the power of your Jade Pearl, are you willing to give it?"

Feng Jizi asked.

"Willing, willing, take it, Senior."

Without hesitation, Liu Zheng handed over the Wind Queen Jade Pearl to Feng Jizi.

He wasn't kidding; the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Arrow skill was a match made in heaven for him. How could he pass on this chance?

"Good. Now, take off your upper clothes and sit cross-legged."

Feng Jizi instructed.

"No problem."

Liu Zheng swiftly took off his vest and uniform, revealing his strong muscles.

Seeing him sit, Feng Jizi placed the Jade Pearl in his palm, then clasped his hands together.

When he raised his hands again, the Jade Pearl had turned into a pile of powder.

Feng Jizi retrieved ink and mixed the pearl powder into it, then bit his fingertip, dropping three blood drops into it, stirring it.

"Later, you might feel itchy, painful, or sore. Don't move a muscle, unless you want all efforts to be wasted."

He picked up a brush and cautioned.

"Rest assured, Senior. Even if you chop my head off, I won't move an inch."

Liu Zheng assured.

"Good."

Feng Jizi nodded and filled the brush with ink, starting to write on his body.

Before, Liu Zheng could barely understand his spring couplets, but this time, he couldn't understand a word.

It wasn't oracle bone script, or bronze script, or seal script, but combinations of ink dots, circles, and lines.

It was more of a picture than a script.

After the back, he moved to the chest, then the face, the back of the head. Quickly, Liu Zheng's head and upper body were covered with peculiar symbols.

"Nine Palaces, Eight Diagrams, Qimen Dunjia, Wind Empress commands all. Capture!"

Feng Jizi tapped Liu Zheng on the skull, and all the symbols instantly entered his body.

"Player has acquired an unknown skill, adapting to the system..."

The system notification sounded.

"Adaptation successful, player acquired the skill: Malicious Spit."

"Malicious Spit: Player uses their own flesh and blood to produce a blood arrow, which is then shot at a target. The power and range of the blood arrow correlate positively with the quality of the flesh and blood and the Constitution Attribute."

"Yeah!"

Liu Zheng cheered.

He finally had a long-range attack skill, no longer stuck with just exchanging blows with opponents at close range.

Even though the skill seemed a bit sinister, he wasn't worried, given the other peculiarities he possessed.

"Thank you, Senior."

He sincerely said to Feng Jizi.

"As long as the young friend is satisfied."

Feng Jizi smiled, though his face turned slightly pale.

Summoning his ancestors first, then helping Liu Zheng quickly master a technique took a considerable toll on him too.

Liu Zheng noticed his pale look and was about to speak when Niu Ma called.

"Did you deliver food across borders? Get back here quickly!"

Niu Ma shouted loudly.

"Boss, do you need me back, or does the restaurant?"

He asked.

"Either way, it's not me who wants to beat you up."

Niu Ma replied.

"Got it. Boss, please let Napoleon know that I need some time off."

Liu Zheng said.

"Why should I?"

"Two bottles of Golden Label."

"Why wouldn't I help you then, after all?"

Niu Ma replied.

"You're the best, boss. Alright, I'm hanging up."

He hung up the phone.

"Young friend, if you have things to do, go ahead. Don't let me hold you back. You don't have to spend New Year with an old man."

Feng Jizi said considerately.

"No way. I promised I'd spend New Year with you, how can I abandon you halfway? I won't go back on my word. Reward good, repay bad, that's how it should always be."
