Chapter 17: 17

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The seventh treasure was the one with the most baleful aura among all the treasures, apart from the jade ruyi.

It had 15 wisps of baleful aura.

However, in Chen Shaojun’s eyes, the treasure that contained 15 wisps of baleful aura was almost the same as the other treasures that he had previously appraised.

The Divine Vision technique was cast, and his spirit and will descended onto the seventh treasure like divine judgment.

In an instant, the baleful aura within the treasure was completely cleansed.

The Psychic Treasure Mirror determined the grade of the treasure.

It was a High-Grade Mortal treasure!

His reward was the Substitution technique.

“The Substitution technique?”

Chen Shaojun received the message from the Psychic Treasure Mirror and quickly understood that it was a Dharma spell.

However, it was different from the Spiritual Eye technique he had previously obtained.

The Substitution technique was an unorthodox Dao technique. It could even be considered an evil technique.

As long as one obtained a piece of well-fitting clothing, hair, or blood from another party in advance and carried it with them using means such as Daoist paper art or wood carvings, he simply had to promptly cast the technique during crucial moments.

In that case, when the user was attacked, the user would be able to shift the attacks that landed on them onto others.

In other words, if he was attacked by an enemy, and the attack would cause him to die, then he could diver the lethal attack to others using the Substitution technique. He would survive, but the target of the Substitution technique would die.

“The Substitution technique is indeed a little sinister.”

Although Chen Shaojun had obtained this Dharma spell, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. This spell was a sinister and wicked weapon.

If it landed in the hands of people with bad intentions, it would definitely cause great harm.

It was no wonder that even the Psychic Treasure Mirror would classify this technique as an unorthodox Dao technique.

However, Chen Shaojun always believed that evil and good depended on the people.

If people used it in the right way, then it would be good. However, if people used it in the wrong way, then it would be evil.

The Substitution technique might have a bad reputation in the outside world. But to the current Chen Shaojun, it was no less than a righteous technique. For him, it was on the side of ‘good’.

After all, he was about to encounter a ghost. Thus, he needed this spell to save his life.

“Although the Substitution technique is profound, the only drawback is that I need to prepare in advance.”

“First of all, I need to find a person or a creature who will ‘suffer’ for me.”

After Chen Shaojun received this spell through the Psychic Treasure Mirror, he naturally understood that this spell did not require the target to be a human.

For example, livestock, horses, donkeys, and even domestic animals, cats, and dogs could be used as substitutes to withstand attacks.

Unfortunately, his foundation was too shallow. He lacked Daoist Dharmic powers.

However, some inanimate objects could also be used as his target to ‘suffer’ on his behalf.

After some thought, Chen Shaojun had a target.

The backyard of the Lin Pawnshop was where the servants and the apprentices lived and ate. Naturally, there was also a dining hall.

The person that all the apprentices and servants hated the most worked in the kitchen. He was Liu Lao’er, who was also known as Lame Liu’er.

He relied on his relationship with the shopkeeper of the pawnshop to dominate the backyard.

Even though he was a little thin and weak, if anyone took a second look at his crippled leg, he would immediately bear a grudge against them. He would also use different methods to find trouble with others. Slapping a servant or punching an apprentice was something that happened from time to time.

In addition, his best method was to borrow money.

He said that he was borrowing money, but he would never return. Thus, many apprentices suffered a loss under his schemes, but they could only keep it to themselves.

Even Chen Shaojun’s previous self had lent him money twice…

However, the target of the Substitution technique was not Lame Liu’er.

Even though the other party was despicable, he didn’t deserve death.

If there was no need to do so, Chen Shaojun would not kill someone.

His true objective was the dog raised by Lame Liu’er.

It was a large black dog. Furthermore, it was a vicious dog.

It was also one of the reasons why Lame Liu’er was able to do as he pleased in the backyard and no one dared to voice their anger against him.

The large, black dog was as sturdy as a calf. When it stood on two legs, it was even taller than a human. When it got angry, it would bite anyone it saw. The number of people who had been bitten by this vicious dog in the pawnshop numbered no less than ten.

Although Chen Shaojun was one of the lucky few who had never been bitten, he still kept a respectful distance from this vicious dog.

This time, Chen Shaojun was planning to use the Substitution technique on Lame Liu’er’s large black dog.

After leaving Appraisal Room No. 7, Chen Shaojun went straight to the backyard.

At this moment, the large black dog was tied to a tree stump in the backyard.

It lay there lazily, seemingly very content.

Chen Shaojun looked around. It was around three or four in the afternoon. Most of the apprentices and servants were still in the pawnshop. As for the dining hall, although there were people inside, they had already started preparing dinner. No one came out.

Thus, it was a rare opportunity.

Chen Shaojun immediately approached the dog quietly.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters…

When Chen Shaojun was within three meters of the large black dog, the other party seemed to have sensed something and turned its head vigilantly.

“It looks like I have to go head-on.”

Chen Shaojun knew that he could not take advantage of the situation. He quickly lowered his body and exerted force with his feet to quickly escape.

“Roar!”

The large black dog bared its teeth. Then, in the blink of an eye, it leaped up and bit down on Chen Shaojun’s outstretched arm.

“What a beast.”

Chen Shaojun quickly retracted his hand and dodged the dog.

However, he felt a little excited.

Over the past few days, he had consumed Essence Augmenting Pills, Blood Qi Pills, and practiced martial arts. He had also learned the Tiger Demon Body Tempering Fist. Thus, he felt that he was full of energy and his strength had increased tremendously. He also felt restless and there was this desire to vent out all the pent-up energy in his body.

However, when faced with this vicious dog, he was actually a little nervous deep in his heart.

After all, this vicious dog had a reputation. Furthermore, his previous self had indeed had a period of fear of being dominated by it.

However, when he saw the vicious dog’s counterattacks, even though its movements were fast and fierce, it gave him a feeling that it was nothing much.

“This dog seems a little slow?”

The dog’s movements seemed a tad bit slow in Chen Shaojun’s eyes, he felt that he could totally handle it.

Thus, he took a step and dodged the vicious dog’s bite. At the same time, he raised his fist and smashed it down like a hammer.

Dong!

There was a muffled sound.

The dog’s head was hit by Chen Shaojun’s fist, and its body fell forward. Its legs went limp, and its entire body was almost pressed onto the ground.

“Sure enough, the current me is completely different from before.”

Chen Shaojun was extremely excited.

Although he was not yet an official martial artist, his physique was already extraordinary.

One punch from him had a force of over a hundred kilograms.

Although this vicious dog’s frame was extremely large, it was actually only an ordinary large dog. Naturally, it would not be able to withstand such great power.

“Howl…”

The vicious dog howled and struggled to get up, trying to escape with its tail between its legs.

Chen Shaojun’s punch almost sent it to a coma.

Thus, it became scared. Right now, it only wanted to get as far away from Chen Shaojun as possible.

“Heh, so you also know fear?”

“But don’t be anxious. Wait for me to pull some fur from you. ”

Chen Shaojun chuckled and pulled the dog’s head. Then, he reached out and grabbed the dog’s back, pulling out a small piece of its fur.

The vicious dog’s body soon had a bald patch thanks to Chen Shaojun..
