Chapter 188 Secret Pattern Master

Both formations and magic arrays utilize the laws of heaven and earth. Their names are similar, but their uses are completely different.

The former mobilizes the essence of spiritual energy, marches and deploys troops, and develops Taoist magic. The lighter ones can kill people invisibly, and the heavier ones can destroy the world. This profession exists, and the world calls it a formation master.

The latter interprets the mysteries of rune laws and the magical powers of skills, thus deriving a profession that assists in strengthening the secret arts. Rune arrays are tattooed on the body to increase abilities, and people call them secret pattern masters.

Relying on the help of the Secret Pattern Master to improve cultivation and combat power is a method that many cultivators both yearn for and hate.

why?

This is mainly because it uses special materials, and the most suitable material for extracting the essence of the secret technique is the inner elixir.

This action will surely lead to the death of extraordinary creatures. Using the inner elixir of monsters is fine, but even worse is using the inner elixir of human cultivators, which is a great violation of the harmony of heaven. If the latter is discovered, it is often regarded as an act of evil and will be punished by the righteous teachers.

Unlike the ones inlaid on various magic weapons by weapon refiners, which are clearly visible at a glance, this is why very few people use the inner elixir of cultivators to serve as the elixir spirit of magic weapons.

But when the secret tattooist tattoos on the body, there is no difference between human and demon. Is it human or demon? If you don't tell us, who knows what kind of material is used.

In order to improve their strength, there are many monks who take risks, and their powerful secrets even affect the balance of the situation. They are still righteous and righteous in their robes and armor, but no one knows about them, which makes them even more mysterious.

Wang Xiongwu looked pleased, Duanmu Qi's eyes flickered, sweeping across the many secret patterns on the wall, and soon he would take one of these powers for himself.

The owner is tall, well-proportioned, and beautiful, with soft and flowing shoulder-length light yellow hair. What makes her unique is that she has a pair of white feather wings folded behind her back. It turns out that she is a feathered person.

Cheng Bai thought she was a woman, but unexpectedly she spoke with a man's voice.

"Bud, welcome to our prestigious restaurant. Isn't this Mr. Wang? What a rare guest." The innkeeper Yu Ren greeted him.

Wang Xiongwu's eyes swept across her neck, where there was a slightly protruding Adam's apple, and lingered on her chest, where there were towering peaks, and then looked at her slender waist, and the plump and round peaches under her tights, which was confusing.

"Bud, I still can't tell whether you are a man or a woman... This is Daoist Fellow Duanmu Qi." Wang Xiongwu glanced at Duanmu Qi and introduced them to each other: "If you need anything, Brother Duanmu can ask Ba Longtou to arrange it. I have some privacy issues, please forgive me."

Duanmu Qi was quite tactful and said hurriedly, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance. I have my eyes on a magic array, but I wonder how to obtain it?"

Bud shouted, "As long as you have money, it's fine. Bajiao, take the guest to room eight to select the tattoo."

A petite winged person came up behind him. She had fair skin, beautiful features, a graceful figure, and slightly thin wings. She looked more charming than Bard and held a barbed whip in her hand.

Ba Jiao said, "Please follow me." Unfortunately, her voice was hoarse and even rougher than Bud's.

Duanmu Qi was overjoyed and followed Ba Jiao into the dark room at the back.

Wang Xiongwu just got straight to the point and said, "I have an adult black dragon, and I want you to extract the essence of the secret technique."

Bard rolled his eyes and reminded, "Black dragons are rare and expensive."

Wang Xiongwu was in a tight spot financially, so he said with a wishful thinking: "I know. Before dealing with it, there is still a chick, clear and clean, I want a price and sell it as soon as possible."

Bud understood immediately and said with a smile, "We have to test it first. Once you are in the cage, no matter if you are a chaste saint or a lion, you have to be obedient."

She turned around and shouted, "Batong, take the customer to room 15, buy one and get one tattoo."

Wang Xiongwu said hurriedly: "It's not so fast to get the tattoo. Let's see what kind of secret technique can be extracted first, and then decide on the use."

Bud chuckled and said, "Batong knows the importance of this matter and will do as you wish."

Another burly feathered man walked out from behind. He was more than two meters tall, with bulging flesh, broad shoulders, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He also had a pair of feathered wings folded behind him. He spoke in a shrill voice like a little girl, saying, "Young Master, please follow me."

Wang Xiongwu and Batong walked to the back room.

Cheng Bai, who was secretly following, couldn't help but wonder: "Why are the Feathered People either effeminate or hard to tell male from female? Could they be a hermaphrodite race?"

He actually guessed right. Based on his first impression, calling her "she" was more appropriate.

There are many rooms in the store, some are empty and some are closed.

Ba Tong led the way and said with a proud smile: "A rune array is equivalent to a secret technique. In a short period of time, it can improve the cultivator's strength immeasurably. It does not require hard training, it is fast and effective, and anyone can use it."

Wang Xiongwu revealed the truth: "That's not entirely true. If you don't have money, no one can use it. Moreover, the secret technique of tattooing cannot continue to improve with the user's cultivation. It can only stop at the level that the inner pill once was."

Ba Tong said with a smile: "Young Master, you are thinking too much. You only need to keep updating and stacking the mystical rune tattoos. How can it be so convenient to cultivate the inner elixir yourself? If you change your thinking, you can also improve your cultivation."

Cheng Bai listened attentively, and occasionally heard moans of pain and pleasure coming from the cracks of the closed doors. Don't get the wrong idea, the guests here are having rune array patterns tattooed on their bodies.

He wondered in his heart: "How to update? Do you peel off the old skin and replace it with a new one? No wonder the store has all kinds of skins, it's really cool."

Room No. 15 was large, with dim lighting, and was filled with bizarre equipment, including beds, cabinets, cages, and shackles. Some areas were stained with dried blood, and they looked like torture instruments no matter how you looked at them.

Ba Tong waited for Wang Xiongwu to walk into the room, slammed the door shut, and locked it, laughing happily, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

Wang Xiongwu took out the Sumeru mustard seeds and poured out the tightly tied up Lu Miaoting, the smoker and the black dragon.

Ba Tong glanced at the three of them and asked, "How do you want to play?"

Wang Xiongwu was in urgent need of money, so he pointed at Lu Miaoting and asked, "How much is she worth?"

As Ba Tong waved his hand, several black iron chains stretched out from the roof, with shackles at the end grabbing Lu Miaoting's neck and limbs. With a clanging sound, she was hung up by her four hooves, swaying in the air.

Seeing that the man and two monsters were completely controlled, Wang Xiongwu felt relieved and made a hand gesture. The three monster-binding ropes fell off from their bodies as if they had life, flew into a ball, and were received in his hands.

Ba Tong carefully examined the unconscious Lu Miaoting and said lazily, "She is seventeen years old, a cultivator in the middle stage of Guigen Realm, strong and healthy, with excellent appearance, and a virgin. She is very good. Some big customers in Ximangtuo Continent are in urgent need of such high-quality goods... I'll give you a good price, sixteen thousand taels of gold, how about it?"

But then I heard a thud behind me, as if someone had fallen to the ground.

Ba Tong turned his head and saw Wang Xiongwu leaning on the ground with a lazy and totally unpresentable posture.

She asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" Just as she was about to go forward to check, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. She immediately felt dizzy and staggered a few times before falling to the ground.

Cheng Bai appeared, put the Mengmeixiang into his treasure bag, and said with a smile: "This thing is really insidious."

He casually collected the three demon-binding ropes and Sumeru mustard seeds scattered on the ground, found the key to the handcuffs on Ba Tong, and let Lu Miaoting go.

"I don't have the antidote, so let them have a good sleep."

Cheng Bai simply took the man and the two demons into the Golden Jade Palace of the Golden Pagoda, arranged a few comfortable rooms for them, and let them sleep peacefully and naturally.

Here, Ba Tong was locked up with black iron chains and hung in the air. A stinky ball gag was found to plug her mouth, and the key to the handcuffs was thrown into the gutter.

"Miao Ting, I have avenged you." Cheng Bai expressed his satisfaction and just now thought about how to deal with Wang Xiongwu.

After walking around the room, he saw a strange bed. It was clearly a treasure made by Long Gang. It had locks and shackles and mechanisms, and there were strange-shaped instruments hanging above it.

"It must be the torture bed."

Cheng Bai locked Wang Xiongwu on the bed without hesitation and tied him up tightly. Then he studied the colorful devices on the side and tried to press one of the yellow buttons.

I saw a strange device above buzzing, and four tentacles stretched out, waving finger-like sensitive blades and claws at the ends.

At this time, Wang Xiongwu was unconscious and had no resistance. His skin, which was as tough as jade, was quickly broken by the high-speed rotating attack of the dragon steel blade that could cut through gold and jade.

The tentacle blade cut his belly, lifting up a large piece of skin along with his clothes, revealing the yellow-white subcutaneous fat layer, with accuracy not exceeding a millimeter.
