Looting the Corpses of Yunqing Sect Disciples, Cultivation Methods in Hand!
"What exactly went wrong?"
Qin Yang was puzzled. He kept thinking it over, carefully comparing it with what had happened in his previous life.
In this life, less than nine days had passed so far.
After the unexpected encounter with the Yunqing Sect disciples, they were suddenly preparing to leave. If that was really the case, then things had deviated from what had happened in his previous life.
This meant that there had definitely been some variable in this life, causing the timeline to veer off course.
After all, in his previous life, he had brought Su Ye here only after more than half a month had passed. Xuan Chengzi and the others had not left then.
"Could it be because Tan Yurou survived?"
Qin Yang pondered this, but then felt that it was unlikely.
Because under his concealment, Xuan Chengzi and the others already believed that Tan Yurou was dead.
In his previous life, he had not even been in the cave dwelling. At this point in time, Tan Yurou had already been dead for quite some time. Barring any accidents, the three Yunqing Sect disciples would likewise come knocking today, which meant Tan Yurou was not the variable.
"That's not right either."
"For now, this is only my guess. Xuan Chengzi that old bastard hasn't personally said that we're leaving, and there are still several days before Su Ye comes knocking. Either Lu Xun and Chang Er were talking nonsense, or something else happened that kept us from leaving."
With that thought, Qin Yang decided to ask them directly.
"Senior Brothers, why are we leaving?"
"Isn't it obvious? The Yunqing Sect disciples have already come knocking. Don't think that just because Master killed them to silence them, the Yunqing Sect won't send people to search for clues. Over the past few years, whenever righteous cultivators discovered our hiding place, Master would take us somewhere else." Lu Xun explained.
"This cave dwelling we're in now is already the umpteenth place we've stopped at. We'll just have to see what Master decides after he finishes refining the pills. You've only just joined us, so you'll gradually have to get used to constantly moving from place to place." Chang Er said as well, patting Qin Yang on the shoulder.
So that was it.
Only then did Qin Yang understand. It was merely Lu Xun and the others speaking from experience. In the end, they would still have to wait until Xuan Chengzi, that Old Devil, finished refining the pills before they knew what would happen.
"Xuan Chengzi will need at least four or five days to refine the pills. Calculated that way, things can barely still match up with my previous life."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed he really had been overthinking things.
"Junior Brother Qin, take this corpse and dispose of it. Remember to do it cleanly. Don't leave behind the slightest trace. Otherwise, if anything happens, Master won't show you any mercy!" Lu Xun suddenly said.
Xuan Chengzi had only taken the still-living Zhao Ling and Fang Xinyun away, but beneath their feet lay a corpse whose blood essence had been drained dry—a dried corpse belonging to Xu Qing, who was already dead.
Subconsciously, Qin Yang was rather unwilling.
After all, disposing of corpses was filthy, exhausting work. Everyone knew that killing someone was easy, but erasing the corpse was hard. Yet this kind of cleanup had fallen to him.
But a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Qin Yang. Thinking of something, he agreed without the slightest hesitation!
This was a Yunqing Sect disciple—a righteous cultivator.
There would certainly be Cultivation Methods or something similar on her person. If he could obtain them and cultivate them, his strength would surely rise tremendously.
Qin Yang had no intention of cultivating the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique. In this life, he absolutely would not become an evil cultivator!
Thus, after Lu Xun and Chang Er left, he immediately took action, carrying the dried corpse before him to a distant, desolate place where no one lived.
"Sorry for the trouble. I didn't want to loot your corpse either."
"But I have no choice. Right now, I'm desperately lacking a Cultivation Method that can help me bring out my strength."
"If we meet again in the next life, I definitely won't let you die such a miserable death."
Qin Yang kept muttering.
Then he removed the dried corpse's clothes and searched them from top to bottom.
He really did find something.
Hidden among the dried corpse's clothes were two Cultivation Methods. One was called Calm Cloud Swordplay, while the other was called True Martial Qi Infusion Method.
Both Cultivation Methods were straightforward, but their incantations were obscure.
Qin Yang had only just begun studying them, yet he already felt as if he were struggling immensely!
"As expected of righteous Cultivation Methods. The cultivation threshold is truly high."
"I already have a certain foundation in cultivation, yet I still find them obscure and difficult to understand, making them hard to cultivate."
"Fortunately, the one thing I lack least is time. These two Cultivation Methods will be enough to keep me cultivating for a long while!"
His heart secretly rejoiced.
What had troubled him most before was possessing a body full of cultivation but being unable to bring out all of his strength.
But things were different with Cultivation Methods.
With the same amount of Spiritual Power, using a Cultivation Method to channel it could double its might. Whether one used a Cultivation Method or not made a world of difference!
"I saw those three women use this Calm Cloud Swordplay just now. It really is powerful—dazzling to behold, with astonishing sword intent."
"This should be a decent sword technique of the Yunqing Sect!"
Qin Yang thought to himself.
Then he looked at the Cultivation Method called True Martial Qi Infusion Method. Its obscurity and difficulty surpassed even that of Calm Cloud Swordplay.
Even relying only on his instincts, he could tell that the power of this True Martial Qi Infusion Method was certainly greater than that of Calm Cloud Swordplay. These two Cultivation Methods were simply not on the same level!
"Perfect. I'll take both of them with me. Much appreciated."
"Once I succeed in cultivating them, I'll make sure you survive through two lifetimes. I, Qin Yang, always keep my word!"
Qin Yang secretly made up his mind. Then he dug a pit on the spot and buried the dried corpse inside.
After completing the deed, he finally hurried back to the cave dwelling.
Upon returning to the cave dwelling, the Medicinal Seeds who had been captured were terrified after the upheaval just now. They had huddled in a corner deep within the cave dwelling without daring to say a word.
Qin Yang confirmed that Lu Xun and Chang Er had not followed him before returning to his own quarters.
Boom!
The stone door slammed shut. Only then did Tan Yurou, who had been hiding in the darkness, finally poke her head out.
"You're pretty clever. You even knew to hide and wait until I came back before showing yourself."
Qin Yang nodded slightly. At least Tan Yurou wasn't a useless teammate. She just wasn't very sharp.
"Of course. Oh, right, what happened outside? Did my senior sisters come here? Why did everything suddenly become quiet again?" Tan Yurou asked impatiently, brimming with anticipation.
Qin Yang was rendered speechless.
After thinking it over, he decided it would be better not to hide the truth.
"Your senior sisters really did come just now."
"Really?!" Tan Yurou was overjoyed, but she quickly realized something. "If they came, where are they now? Couldn't they rescue us?"
"To tell you the truth, they all died at the hands of the Old Devil." Qin Yang shook his head.
What?!
They were all dead?!
Tan Yurou took a deep breath, staggered, and turned deathly pale with shock!
