Chapter Twenty-Three: Forcing the Virtuous to Evil

Sucking the souls of others!

Just hearing about this evil technique made one's skin crawl.

Qin Yang's entire body instantly broke out in goosebumps. Wasn't this clearly asking him to absorb the souls of others?

Xuan Chengzi continued to chatter on.

"The cultivation of this Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique is divided into three stages: Introductory, Minor Accomplishment, and Major Accomplishment."

"With your low-grade Fire Spirit Root, it's already enough for you to cultivate it to Major Accomplishment. Of course, it will take some time, perhaps less than five years."

"In the Introductory stage, you can only draw blood essence from others through physical contact to increase your cultivation. By the Minor Accomplishment stage, you can already extract blood essence from others remotely!"

"Only at Major Accomplishment, as I said earlier, can you extract souls!"

Hearing this, Qin Yang felt a chill in his heart.

So, Lu Xun's ability to extract his blood essence remotely meant he had already cultivated the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique to the Major Accomplishment stage.

In that case, Chang Er had only just begun.

As for the five years Xuan Chengzi mentioned, Qin Yang didn't care. Or rather, he had no intention of delving deep into cultivating this Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique at all.

What a joke! If he had any other choice, he wouldn't want to be an evil cultivator!

"Do you understand?"

Xuan Chengzi suddenly asked.

Qin Yang was startled, fearing that the other party would discover his hidden thoughts. He quickly nodded in agreement.

"Good, since that's the case, I, your Master, will officially impart this technique to you. You must cultivate diligently from now on!"

"Come closer."

Xuan Chengzi said slowly.

Qin Yang's heart was a thousand times unwilling, but he had no choice. The cultivation of this Old Devil before him was far superior to his. He was currently powerless to resist.

"%……¥@!"

Xuan Chengzi transmitted the complete incantation to Qin Yang.

The incantation wasn't long. Even Qin Yang could memorize it, and even gained some minor insights!

Should be fine now, right?

Qin Yang's eyes darted around. If he just memorized the incantation for the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique and didn't cultivate it, there shouldn't be any problems.

With that thought, he said, "Master, if there's nothing else, this disciple will take his leave to cultivate."

Xuan Chengzi shook his head and pointed to a young man curled up in a ball in the corner.

Only then did Qin Yang finally notice that there was a third person in the alchemy room – a Medicinal Seed.

He recognized him at a glance. This person was from the same batch that entered with him. After days of starvation, he was already on his last breath, his life force dwindling!

"That was prepared specifically for you."

"You will stay here and absorb all the blood essence from that Medicinal Seed to test the power of this Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique!"

Xuan Chengzi said indifferently.

What?!

He wanted him to directly absorb the blood essence from a living person?!

Qin Yang was horrified.

This Old Devil was indeed not a good person.

It was one thing to teach him an evil technique, but he even wanted him to absorb all the blood essence from an innocent person right in front of him!

Although Qin Yang wasn't exactly a good person, he wasn't so wicked as to be this cruel. Naturally, he couldn't bear to do it.

Xuan Chengzi seemed to see through his thoughts and said coldly, "If you absorb and refine all the blood essence from that Medicinal Seed here, you will be considered my true disciple. Or, are you unwilling?"

There was a faint threat in his voice.

Even though Qin Yang's cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer, he still felt his scalp tingle.

He didn't doubt Xuan Chengzi's methods and temperament at all. He feared that if he refused, he would be directly captured!

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that Xuan Chengzi would sense something unusual about him and make his life worse than death, making it impossible for him to start anew!

"How could that be."

"I'm overjoyed that Master is willing to impart this technique to me. I can't wait to start cultivating."

"This disciple will begin now!"

Qin Yang replied with a fake smile, then took a deep breath and approached the Medicinal Seed curled up in the corner.

"No, please, I beg you."

The emaciated young man pleaded with a pale face, begging in a weak voice.

Seeing this, Qin Yang sighed inwardly.

"I'm sorry, but if I don't do this to you, I'll be in trouble."

"If we meet again in the next life, I'll definitely find a way to rescue you!"

Qin Yang thought to himself. After mentally preparing himself, he resolutely stepped forward and placed his hand on the youth's body.

Immediately, he began to silently recite the incantation for the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique!

"No!"

The youth was terrified to the extreme. As Qin Yang absorbed him, the blood energy within his body rapidly drained away. A hazy red mist could be clearly seen emerging and flowing into Qin Yang's body along his arm!

The already weak youth couldn't struggle and became increasingly immobile.

Until finally, he stopped moving completely.

After absorbing the other party's blood energy, Qin Yang clearly felt a pure and powerful force enter his body, which quickly transformed into his cultivation!

"No wonder evil cultivators cultivate so quickly."

"This kind of evil art, absorbing blood energy to cultivate, is too direct. Basically, as long as you can extract blood energy, you can increase your cultivation!"

He was greatly surprised because his own cultivation showed signs of a breakthrough, about to enter the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer!

This made him feel a mix of laughter and tears.

After another half an hour, Qin Yang completely drained the youth of his blood energy, and the youth turned into a dried corpse.

To his surprise, even though it was his first time practicing this evil art, he felt no blockage at all; it was incredibly smooth!

Qin Yang could only attribute all of this to the evil art itself.

After all, he wasn't an evil cultivator himself and had no prior experience cultivating such arts!

"Thank you, Master, for passing down the technique. Disciple has successfully broken through and reached the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer!"

Afterward, Qin Yang had to pretend to be overjoyed and slightly emanate his cultivation aura to please Xuan Chengzi.

Sensing the improvement in his cultivation, Xuan Chengzi was finally satisfied and nodded repeatedly.

"Very good, very good."

"You have now learned the methods of our sect. From here on, it's up to you to cultivate slowly."

"There are Medicinal Seeds outside. You can take them for your cultivation at any time. However, for every Medicinal Seed you use, you must go down the mountain and capture that many back. You absolutely cannot delay my alchemy!" Xuan Chengzi said sinisterly.

"Disciple understands."

Qin Yang agreed for the time being, but he had no intention of truly aiding and abetting evil. In any case, in about ten days, a change would occur, and he was waiting for Su Ye to come and cause trouble for Xuan Chengzi!

Afterward, he was finally allowed to leave the alchemy room.

Once outside, he let out a long sigh of relief, unable to shake off a sense of guilt.

"Damn it."

"This Old Devil is truly forcing good people to do evil."

"Just you wait. Once my cultivation improves, I'll make you personally taste the bitterness of the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique!"
