Qin Yang: I Really Don't Want to Be a Demonic Cultivator

Chapter Twenty-Two: Qin Yang: I Really Don't Want to Be a Demonic Cultivator!

"Are you really a disciple of the Yunqing Sect? What's your name?" Qin Yang asked.

The purple-clothed girl disdained to answer, glaring. "You're trying to use this chance to find out where I'm from, but I won't tell you. In two more days, my three senior sisters will come looking for me, and you'll be the first one to die!"

"..."

Qin Yang mused that he didn't seem to have asked about her background himself; hadn't the purple-clothed girl said it herself?

Looking at her rather innocent and foolish appearance, he pondered for a moment, roughly understanding why even a disciple of the Yunqing Sect had been captured.

She had absolutely no cunning.

However, this was a good thing for him.

The purple-clothed girl before him had already said it herself—three senior sisters would come looking for her!

"Three senior sisters? That might not be enough for me to eat." Qin Yang retorted.

"You!"

"Monster!"

The purple-clothed girl glared angrily. Evil cultivators were indeed evil cultivators; none of them were good people.

Especially this monster in front of him, who looked so respectable and handsome, was even more detestable!

Qin Yang couldn't be bothered to deal with her anymore, to avoid attracting attention.

"This purple-clothed girl's aura is extraordinary, very different from the three Yunqing Sect disciples I encountered in my previous two lives. She must have a high status."

"In that case, the three senior sisters she mentioned might really show up, and might even truly attract the attention of the Yunqing Sect."

"If things get chaotic, it could be an opportunity." He mused.

Of course, if only the three senior sisters mentioned by the purple-clothed girl came, it would be useless unless they were in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After all, that Old Devil Xuan Chengzi was at the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, terrifyingly powerful!

"I hope the people from the Yunqing Sect can put up a fight and inflict some heavy damage on Xuan Chengzi!" Qin Yang looked forward to it.

This was the first time since he restarted his lives that he was following the normal timeline.

Now, it seemed there were indeed many things he didn't know.

At the very least, Yunqing Sect disciples should come in a few days. Besides that, in more than half a month, Xuan Chengzi's fellow disciple, Su Ye, would also arrive following the trail. These all meant considerable opportunities!

This naturally strengthened his resolve to see how things would develop!

"I'll go cultivate first."

"The Earth Spirit Pearl is on me, a hot potato. I must find a chance to absorb and refine it quickly without being discovered!"

Qin Yang returned to his cave dwelling, took out the Earth Spirit Pearl, and immediately began to absorb and refine it.

Buzz!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Earth Spirit Pearl was extremely pure and dense. After he absorbed it using the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, he was visibly enveloped by the spiritual energy emanating from the Earth Spirit Pearl.

This feeling was wonderful!

In three days, Qin Yang's cultivation broke through again.

He advanced from the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer to the Qi Refining Realm Seventh Layer.

"It's still not enough. Let alone facing Xuan Chengzi, even facing Lu Xun, I wouldn't have much chance of winning. He's at least at the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer!"

"I need to refine more!"

Qin Yang took a deep breath and entered seclusion again.

Of course, he couldn't stay cooped up in his cave for these few days.

At the very least, that old fellow Xuan Chengzi had called him over many times to refine pills. Not to mention, the old fellow had actually taught Qin Yang some pill refining methods, and he had made considerable progress.

Time flew by, and another five days passed.

This time, Qin Yang's cultivation broke through again, reaching the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer!

"Hoo—"

Qin Yang exhaled a long breath of stale air, his eyes shining brightly.

"The Earth Spirit Pearl is indeed an excellent starting resource. If I continue cultivating like this, I might break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in another two lives."

"Not to mention, the Earth Spirit Pearl itself can help break through to Foundation Establishment!" He rejoiced inwardly.

Looking at the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand, the spiritual energy within had been completely absorbed and was no longer present.

A strange impulse surged through Qin Yang, making him want to end himself immediately and start his next life in search of the Earth Spirit Pearl. However, he forcefully suppressed the thought.

"Although I can restart repeatedly, it's not meant to be played like this."

"I still have to do my best to gather useful information in every life."

"Right, didn't that purple-clothed girl say her senior sister would come looking for her in at most two days? It's been eight days, and she still hasn't arrived. Is she just scatterbrained, or is that purple-clothed girl actually unimportant, and I've been wishful thinking and guessed wrong?"

He couldn't figure it out, having wasted so many days of anticipation.

Just as Qin Yang was pondering, Xuan Chengzi's voice transmitted to him.

"Good disciple, come to the alchemy room!"

Good?

Good my foot, you old geezer!

Qin Yang wished this old fellow would just die. If it weren't for seeing what would happen in the timeline left behind in the cave mansion, he wouldn't be putting on an act and pretending to be a good disciple.

"He's probably going to ask me to refine pills again. I'll just go along with it."

He immediately left and headed for the alchemy room.

Over this period, Qin Yang had confirmed that Xuan Chengzi genuinely couldn't detect his cultivation level unless he revealed it himself.

Regarding this, he was quite certain it wasn't due to his own excellent concealment but rather a ninety percent chance that it was because of the system's existence. Naturally, this allowed him to face Xuan Chengzi with more confidence and boldness!

"Disciple, how many days has it been since you came to my cave mansion?"

Xuan Chengzi sat cross-legged on a futon, looking like an immortal.

"Reporting to Master, it has been ten days."

"En, your talent is brilliant, and you are a promising candidate. Unlike your other two senior brothers, I've decided to impart our sect's secret techniques to you ahead of time. Are you ready?"

Secret techniques?

Qin Yang was already worried about not having practiced any techniques, which prevented him from maximizing the power of his spiritual energy.

Now, it was perfect. This old fellow Xuan Chengzi was proactively offering to teach him techniques.

"That's not right."

"This old devil is an evil cultivator. What good techniques could he possibly teach me?"

Qin Yang's thoughts turned, and he felt a sense of dread.

He immediately ruled out the Spirit Seed Creation True Scripture and the Five Elements Refinement Technique. Those were things Xuan Chengzi had obtained through betraying his master and ancestors; there was no way he would give them to him.

If that were the case, wouldn't it mean...

"Disciple, come here. This is the incantation for the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique. Hurry and memorize it!"

As expected, Xuan Chengzi's voice rang out, and Qin Yang's head began to ache.

I really don't want to be a demonic cultivator.

Heavens, can you let me off this time?

Qin Yang wailed inwardly.

However, against the Xuan Chengzi before him, he simply didn't have the strength to choose. He could only grit his teeth and accept it.

"This disciple is fearful."

"Master, this Immortal Art must be very powerful, right?"

Qin Yang felt disgusted by his own words and wanted to slap himself.

But Xuan Chengzi was coaxed into showing a slight smile and nodded repeatedly.

"Indeed, you are very clever."

"Our sect's Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique is a Low-grade Spirit art. It can extract a person's blood and Qi. Upon reaching great mastery, one can even devour the souls of others for their own use, its power is immeasurable!"
