Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 35 Practicing evil magic can damage your brain.

The young evil cultivator, seeing Lin Yuan's expression, assumed that Lin Yuan was frightened by his cultivation level.

He had already investigated and found that the person in front of him was a young disciple of the Sword Sect, only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Even with abundant resources, such a disciple would only reach the third or fourth level of the embryonic cultivation stage.

No one could possibly be his match.

Therefore, he relaxed a lot, and even looked a little smug.

"I must say, even among the disciples of the Sword Sect, you are considered kind. Knowing that there was a great cultivator's cave, you didn't go to compete for it. I'm not lying to you about this." The young evil cultivator pretended to be somewhat moved.

"It's a pity, good people don't live long. You're leaving soon, and everything will be over. You might even get a good opportunity."

Lin Yuan did not reply, simply following his heart's choice.

Now that he knew there was a problem, he couldn't deceive himself and leave pretending he knew nothing.

The young, unorthodox cultivator, receiving no response from Lin Yuan, grew somewhat bored: "I didn't want to kill a Sword Sect disciple and get into trouble, but now I have no choice. I'm forced into this situation. Well then, you can die!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he moved. With a leap, the power of the fifth level of the Fetal Breathing Realm caused the ground to collapse instantly, and he charged towards Lin Yuan like an arrow released from a bow.

However, Lin Yuan did not make any further movements, but simply extended a finger and waved it lightly.

A crescent-shaped blade shot through the air at a speed invisible to the naked eye, accurately striking the young evil cultivator's legs.

"laugh--"

Even a body at the fifth level of the embryonic breathing stage, impervious to water and fire, is as fragile as tofu in front of this crescent moon.

The young heretic's legs were broken.

He lost all strength in an instant, his body leaned forward, fell to the ground, and slid continuously until he was not far from Lin Yuan.

"How is this possible?!" His face was filled with disbelief and fear. "The power of the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing Realm..."

He discovered that what had severed his legs was a blade of spiritual energy.

This is a power that only cultivators at the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage or above can master.

But now it has been taken over by a young evil cultivator.

Could it be that the Sword Sect disciple in front of him is in a similar situation?

Lin Yuan approached the young evil cultivator and said, "What are you surprised about? Didn't I just use it?"

The weapon that severed Liang Ce's hand was also a spirit blade forged from spirit blades.

Upon hearing this, the young evil cultivator felt like vomiting blood.

He never expected that a cultivator who was at most at the third or fourth level of the embryonic breathing stage would be able to use spiritual energy.

They simply assumed it was some kind of powerful concealed weapon technique.

No, that's not right. The person in front of me isn't at the third or fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. He must be a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sword Sect at the seventh level or higher in disguise.

"I didn't expect the Sword Sect to send out cultivators at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage for such a small mission. Heh, it seems you've discovered the secret of this village too!" the young evil cultivator said to Lin Yuan.

Seeing that his answer was completely irrelevant, Lin Yuan sighed, "Indeed, evil cultivators easily corrupt their minds. The sect's records are correct."

Upon hearing this, the young evil cultivator's face flushed red: "As a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator, pretending to be a young disciple, and not even revealing your true cultivation level yet, you must be out of your mind."

Lin Yuan stared at the young evil cultivator's legs.

The bleeding from both legs had stopped by then.

The vitality of someone at the fifth level of fetal breathing is truly powerful.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't kill him immediately, the young evil cultivator felt he had a chance to live: "Let's cooperate. The villagers' blood and qi contain extremely high-quality spiritual energy. Although it's thin, it's definitely not simple. If we cooperate and absorb all of it, we can definitely improve our cultivation."

"The Sword Sect doesn't have a method for absorption, but I can teach you. Then you just need to shift all the blame onto me, and you'll still be a high and mighty Sword Sect cultivator."

"Then I'll have something on you, right!" Lin Yuan said with a sneer. "And I was right when I said you'd ruined your brain by practicing evil magic. You're so special, yet you only think about absorbing blood and qi."

According to Lin Yuan's experience, the existence of secrets either indicates a huge pitfall or an even greater opportunity.

Slaughtering people to absorb their life force is definitely the worst option.

However, it's normal that those who practice heretical cultivation are mostly independent practitioners.

They value immediate benefits, as long as it improves their cultivation level.

"I thought you could give me some explanation, but it turns out you don't know anything either. In that case, you might as well die and pay for the lives of those villagers." Lin Yuan once again conjured a spirit blade in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the young evil cultivator panicked: "I can help you! Let's find the secret behind this together. Oh, by the way, I know..."

"laugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, his head was severed by a spirit blade.

The moment his head fell off, his once youthful face aged rapidly, and his skin became loose.

"It turns out even his age was fake; he used methods to maintain it."

Lin Yuan decided to burn this evil cultivator to ashes later.

Then, he looked at Liang Ce.

Liang Ce panicked as well, saying, "I was forced into it, I haven't..."

"Guess whether I believe you or not." Lin Yuan threw a spirit blade, killing Liang Ce as well.

What's there to say about accomplices?

Moreover, judging from what just happened, Liang Ce has most likely already practiced evil magic and mastered the methods of cultivation.

Even if he didn't actually kill anyone, he had no way to erase his memory, so he could only suffer in silence and prove his innocence with his death.

Then, he looked at the old man who had just been captured by Liang Ce and almost lost his life.

"Did she faint from fright? I hope she's alright."

Elderly people can't handle being frightened.

Lin Yuan approached the old man and found that he was still breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief and then channeled his spiritual energy into the old man.

Although it was only a tiny bit, it still brought him to his senses.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" the old man shouted the moment he regained consciousness.

What he just witnessed really shocked him.

"Please calm down," Lin Yuan said, using a little spiritual power.

This time it worked very well; the old man immediately calmed down and was even more composed than expected.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan's face and noticing the corpse not far from him, he immediately said, "This old man pays his respects to the Immortal Master. Thank you for saving my life."

"This is my duty, there's no need for this." Lin Yuan helped the old man up and then said, "Could you find some people to burn these two corpses? Also, call the elders of your village; I need to ask them some questions."

"As the Immortal Master commands, so be it." The old man immediately replied. He felt much better and had inexhaustible strength. He immediately got up and prepared to inform others.

Lin Yuan did not stop him; a wisp of spiritual energy strengthened the old man's body, and he was in excellent health.

He didn't leave to prevent the two corpses from coming back to life.

Those who practice unorthodox cultivation have many methods; it's always better to be careful.

He wanted to watch these two people be reduced to ashes before he could investigate the secrets of Qingshui Village.

Each villager possesses a significant amount of spiritual energy within them.

That's really amazing.
