Qin Yang's Thoughts, Going With The Flow

Chapter 19: Qin Yang's Thoughts, Going With The Flow

[Host has died, karma reset!]

[Host may choose one Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, spell, or cultivation base from the previous life to inherit.]

[Current selectable Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure: Earth Spirit Pearl. Spell: Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art. Cultivation Base: Qi Refining Realm, Sixth Layer.]

[Please choose your inheritance!]

The system's voice echoed.

Qin Yang felt his thoughts being pulled back from the brink of wandering, a sense of tearing washing over him.

After all, he had just been fighting Lu Xun and died by his hand. The searing pain on his neck still seemed to linger!

"Lu Xun, huh? Just you wait until I catch you."

"I have plenty of next lives, but once you're dead, you're truly dead!"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth in silence. He couldn't harbor any good feelings for an enemy from his previous life.

Immediately after, he chose to inherit the Qi Refining Realm, Sixth Layer cultivation base.

After all, an increase in cultivation was tangible. He knew the location of the Earth Spirit Pearl; he could go find it directly each time his life reset. There was no need to inherit it, and doing so might even bring him a lot of trouble.

As for the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, it was a basic Qi Refining technique that Qin Yang had already mastered in his previous life.

There was no need for him to inherit it!

Buzz!

As the cultivation base was inherited, Qin Yang immediately felt his meridians and dantian being opened. A surge of pure and powerful cultivation poured into his body, like a spiritual enlightenment.

In the blink of an eye, he could clearly feel an inexhaustible supply of strength with every movement, which felt incredibly comfortable!

Qin Yang was full of vigor and spirit, his gaze sharp.

"It's a pity that my current cultivation is still insufficient to confront Xuan Chengzi head-on and escape his clutches."

He calmed down and began to meticulously ponder, organizing the information he had obtained in his previous life.

From Su Ye, who was also an evil cultivator, he learned that Xuan Chengzi was at least at the Foundation Establishment Realm, a vast chasm separating him from Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

Let alone being at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, even if he broke through to the Ninth Layer, he would still be no match for Xuan Chengzi. Not to mention that Xuan Chengzi possessed extremely astonishing techniques. Confronting him directly now would be completely irrational.

If he were captured alive, Xuan Chengzi would certainly not miss the opportunity to interrogate him. Falling into his hands would mean his life and death would no longer be under his own control!

Qin Yang was well aware of this.

Therefore, before he possessed the absolute strength to confidently confront Xuan Chengzi head-on, he would not choose to fight directly.

"Based on what the evil cultivator Su Ye said, Xuan Chengzi and he were fellow disciples, but Xuan Chengzi betrayed his master and stole the powerful techniques called Spirit Seed Fortune and Five Elements Refinement Technique, which led Su Ye to pursue him."

"Even Xuan Chengzi's former master is also in pursuit and could show up at any moment!"

"This presents an opportunity for me."

Qin Yang thought seriously.

The enmity between Xuan Chengzi and his former sect was deep and clearly irreconcilable.

If he could use this opportunity to his advantage, perhaps by observing the conflict from the sidelines, he might be able to reap the benefits and even obtain Xuan Chengzi's techniques!

Most importantly, he could use the conflict between Xuan Chengzi and his former sect to their mutual destruction, creating a chance to remove the poison of the Soul Locking Pill from himself.

Then, escaping would no longer be a problem.

"I have a lot of room for error; I can keep resetting. This opportunity cannot be overlooked!"

"But the premise is that I cannot alert the snake, drawing Su Ye here while also not being discovered or noticed by Xuan Chengzi."

Qin Yang pondered carefully, trying to find the optimal solution.

Soon, he had an idea.

"This life, I'll try not to escape!"

A flash of inspiration struck Qin Yang.

After all, in his previous life, after obtaining the Earth Spirit Pearl, he had gone into seclusion for over half a month. It was only when he returned to Xiabai Town that he coincidentally encountered Su Ye.

This meant that it would take Su Ye at least half a month to find this place.

Without any guidance, this timeframe would be extended considerably.

Qin Yang hadn't considered waiting for Su Ye in Xiabai Town and then "inviting the emperor."

But the problem was that Su Ye was too cautious, and coupled with his powerful cultivation, approaching him proactively would surely lead to suspicion. He might even be captured and dissected for research.

He had no doubt about the cunning of an evil cultivator like Su Ye. Being a former fellow disciple of Xuan Chengzi, describing it as "rotten to the core" would not be an exaggeration!

"Looking at it this way, if I don't escape this life and deliberately get caught, according to the normal progression of time, I'll have to wait for over half a month for Su Ye to find me himself."

"Going with the flow isn't bad; it's worth a try!"

Qin Yang quickly made up his mind.

With the system's existence, he could infinitely reset and continuously experiment.

Since he wanted to exploit the enmity between Xuan Chengzi and Su Ye, and also wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, it was best not to interfere.

This way, the situation from his previous life wouldn't occur, where Lu Xun and Chang Er would target him. Xuan Chengzi would also be on guard, and in the end, he wouldn't gain anything but death!

Thus, Qin Yang, having made up his mind, calmed his thoughts.

In this life, he planned to follow the normal course of events step by step.

He had more than half a month, during which he could still have the chance to probe Xuan Chengzi's background and methods, also preparing for the future!

Up until now, Qin Yang still didn't know what exactly was inside this cave dwelling. Before, he was only focused on escaping early to find a way to detoxify himself.

"Qin Yang, Master wants to teach you Immortal Arts!"

It was at this moment that Bai Feng's voice sounded as expected, devoid of any emotion.

Qin Yang didn't cause any further complications. After concealing the aura of his cultivation, he got up as usual and followed Bai Feng into the alchemy room.

Next was the part he was most familiar with.

Being captured by Xuan Chengzi, then gaining his initial trust, taking the Qi Condensing Pill, the Soul Locking Pill, and finally, the Water Spirit Pill.

It was a pity that, for Qin Yang's current cultivation level, the meager spiritual energy in the Water Spirit Pill could no longer provide him with much improvement.

"Alright, for the next few days, you'll go gather herbs with Bai Feng!"

Xuan Chengzi waved his hand, and Qin Yang successfully managed to deceive him once more.

Outside, he was still led away from the cave dwelling by Bai Feng.

Qin Yang was already very familiar with all of this.

"Junior Brother Qin, do you want to escape from here?"

Far from the cave dwelling, Bai Feng asked Qin Yang for the Nth time.

Originally, Qin Yang intended to respond just like in his previous lives, but a sudden idea struck him: he wanted to see what would happen if he refused Bai Feng.

He had never chosen this option before!

"Senior Brother Bai, I don't want to."

Qin Yang's response was incredibly calm, as if he were heartlessly replying to an NPC.

This greatly surprised Bai Feng, who had already prepared his next lines.
