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

"You're really a disciple of Yunqing Sect? What's your name?"

Qin Yang asked.

The purple-clothed girl had no intention of telling him. She glared and said, "Don't even think about using this opportunity to probe my background. I won't tell you. In two days, my three senior sisters will come looking for me. When they arrive, you'll be the first to die!"

"..."

Qin Yang wondered if he had ever actively asked about her background. Wasn't the purple-clothed girl the one who had brought it up herself?

Looking at her rather naïve and guileless appearance, he pondered for a while and roughly understood why a disciple of Yunqing Sect had been captured.

She didn't have an ounce of wariness.

Still, this was a good thing for him.

The purple-clothed girl before him had already revealed that three senior sisters would come looking for her!

"Three senior sisters? I'm afraid that won't be enough to fill my stomach."

Qin Yang gave as good as he got.

"You!"

"Demonic cultivator!"

The purple-clothed girl glared furiously. As expected of demonic cultivators—there wasn't a single good person among them.

Especially this demonic cultivator before her, who looked like a fine man on the outside and was exceedingly handsome. He was hateful to the extreme!

Qin Yang couldn't be bothered to continue engaging with her, lest he attract attention.

"This purple-clothed girl's bearing is extraordinary. She's very different from the three Yunqing Sect disciples I encountered in my previous two lives. Her identity and status must be fairly high."

"If that's the case, the three senior sisters she mentioned might really show up, and could even attract Yunqing Sect's attention."

"If things descend into chaos, it'll be an opportunity."

He pondered.

Of course, if it was only the three senior sisters mentioned by the purple-clothed girl who came, they would be useless so long as none of them had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After all, Xuan Chengzi, that Old Devil, was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, terrifyingly powerful!

"I hope the people from Yunqing Sect can put up a decent fight and deal Xuan Chengzi a heavy blow!"

Qin Yang began to look forward to it.

Since restarting these past few lives, this was the first time he had followed the normal timeline.

Now that he thought about it, there were indeed many things he didn't know.

At the very least, disciples from Yunqing Sect should arrive in a few days. Besides that, in a little over half a month, Xuan Chengzi's fellow disciple Su Ye would also follow the trail here. All of these meant there would be no shortage of opportunities!

And this naturally strengthened his resolve to see where things would develop from here!

"I'll cultivate first."

"The Earth Spirit Pearl is on me, making it a hot potato. I have to find an opportunity to absorb and refine it as soon as possible. I can't let anyone discover it!"

Qin Yang returned to his cave abode, took out the Earth Spirit Pearl, and immediately began absorbing and refining it.

Buzz!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Earth Spirit Pearl was extraordinarily pure and dense. After he activated the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art to absorb it, he was visibly enveloped by the spiritual energy radiating from the Earth Spirit Pearl.

The sensation was exquisite!

After three days, Qin Yang's cultivation broke through once more.

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 against Lu Xun, I wouldn't have much chance of victory. He's at least at the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer!"

"I have to keep refining!"

Qin Yang drew a deep breath and entered seclusion once more.

Of course, he couldn't stay behind closed doors the entire time these past few days.

At the very least, that old fellow Xuan Chengzi had summoned him over to refine pills more than once. And, surprisingly, the old fellow had actually taught Qin Yang some pill-refining methods, which he practiced with considerable progress.

Just like that, another five days passed in the blink of an eye.

This time, Qin Yang's cultivation broke through once more, rising to the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer!

"Phew—"

Qin Yang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"The Earth Spirit Pearl truly deserves to be called an excellent starting resource. If I continue cultivating like this, I'll probably be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in just two more lives."

"Not to mention, the Earth Spirit Pearl itself can help with breaking through to Foundation Establishment!"

He rejoiced inwardly.

Looking again at the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand, he found that all the spiritual energy within it had been completely absorbed. Nothing remained.

Qin Yang suddenly felt an impulse to end his own life at once, restart the next life, and search for the Earth Spirit Pearl again, but he forcibly snuffed out the thought.

"Though I can keep restarting, that's not how I'm supposed to play this."

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

"Right, didn't the purple-clothed girl say that her senior sisters would come looking for her within two days at most? It's already the eighth day, and they still haven't arrived. Are they simply thickheaded, or is the purple-clothed girl actually unimportant, and I just guessed wrong because I was seeing what I wanted to see?"

He couldn't make head or tail of it, and all these days of anticipation had come to nothing.

Just as Qin Yang was pondering this, Xuan Chengzi's voice transmission arrived.

"Good disciple, come to the Pill Refining Room!"

Good disciple?

Good disciple, my ass, you old bastard!

Qin Yang wished this old fellow would hurry up and die. If not for wanting to see what would happen along the timeline of events within the cave abode, he would never have put on this act and played the good disciple.

"He's probably calling me to refine pills again. I'll just humor him."

He immediately left and hurried to the Pill Refining Room.

After this period of time, Qin Yang had already confirmed that Xuan Chengzi truly couldn't detect the level of his cultivation unless he deliberately revealed it.

Regarding this, he was basically certain that it wasn't because he was good at hiding his strength. Rather, there was a ninety-percent chance it was because of the system's existence. Naturally, he could face Xuan Chengzi with even greater boldness!

"Disciple, how many days have you been in this old man's cave abode?"

Xuan Chengzi sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion with an air of divine transcendence, looking utterly composed.

"Reporting to Master, it's already been ten days."

"Mm. You're intelligent and talented, a fine prospect. Unlike your other two senior brothers, you've earned my decision to teach you our sect's secret technique and Cultivation Method ahead of schedule. Are you ready?"

A secret technique and Cultivation Method?

Qin Yang had been fretting because he had never practiced any Cultivation Methods and couldn't display the full might of his Spiritual Power.

And now, Xuan Chengzi had taken the initiative to offer to teach him one.

"Something's not right."

"That Old Devil is a demonic cultivator. What good Cultivation Method could he possibly teach me?"

Qin Yang's thoughts turned, and he immediately sensed that something was off.

The first things he ruled out were the Spirit Seed Creation True Scripture and the Five Elements Refinement Technique. Those were things Xuan Chengzi had obtained after betraying and murdering his own master—how could he possibly give them to Qin Yang?

In that case, could it be...

"Disciple, come here. This is the formula for the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique. Quickly memorize it!"

Sure enough, Xuan Chengzi's voice rang out, and Qin Yang's head instantly began to ache.

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

Heavens, can't you spare me just this once?

Qin Yang wailed inwardly.

However, facing Xuan Chengzi, he truly lacked the strength to make a choice. He could only pinch his nose and accept it.

"This disciple is terrified."

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

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

But Xuan Chengzi was coaxed into revealing a faint smile and nodded repeatedly.

"Not bad. You're very clever."

"Our sect's Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique is a Low-grade Spirit Cultivation Method. It can draw out a person's blood essence, and once cultivated to perfection, it can even devour another's soul for one's own use. Its power is unfathomable!"
