Chapter 29 - Looting a Yunqing Sect Disciple, a Spell Acquired!

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Qin Yang pondered, his mind racing as he compared the current events to his past life.

Less than nine days had passed in this life.

After the unexpected encounter with the Yunqing Sect disciples, they were suddenly leaving. If this was indeed the case, it would deviate from what happened in his previous life.

This meant there had to be some variable in this life causing the timeline to shift.

After all, in his past life, he had arrived here with Su Ye over half a month later, and Xuan Chengzi and the others hadn't left yet.

"Could it be because Tan Yurou survived?"

Qin Yang mused, but he dismissed the thought.

Under his deception, Xuan Chengzi and the others already believed Tan Yurou was dead.

In his past life, he wasn't even in the cave dwelling at this point; Tan Yurou had been dead for a long time. It was likely that the three Yunqing Sect disciples would have come looking for her around this time as well, indicating Tan Yurou wasn't the variable.

"That's not right either."

"This is just my speculation for now. Old Man Xuan Chengzi hasn't personally said they're leaving. It's still a few days until Su Ye shows up. Either Lu Xun and Chang Er are just talking nonsense, or something else happened that's causing them not to leave."

With this thought, Qin Yang decided to ask directly.

"Second Senior Brother, why are we leaving?"

"Do I need to say? Yunqing Sect disciples have already come looking for us. Even though Master killed them to silence them, the Yunqing Sect will definitely search for clues. In the past few years, whenever our hidden location was discovered by righteous cultivators, Master would move us." Lu Xun explained.

"This cave dwelling we're in now, who knows how many temporary spots we've used. We'll have to wait and see what Master decides after he finishes refining the pills. You're new here, so you'll need to get used to moving around frequently," Chang Er added, patting Qin Yang's shoulder.

So that's how it was.

Qin Yang finally understood. It was based on Lu Xun and the others' experience. The final decision would only be made after Xuan Chengzi, the old devil, finished refining his pills.

"Xuan Chengzi needs at least four or five days to refine pills. Calculating it this way, it barely aligns with my previous life."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed he had been worrying for nothing.

"Junior Brother Qin, take this corpse and dispose of it. Make sure you do it cleanly, and don't leave any traces. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, Master won't be lenient!"

Lu Xun suddenly said.

Xuan Chengzi had only taken away the living Zhao Ling and Fang Xinyun. Beneath their feet lay a dried corpse, its blood essence drained – Xu Qing, who was already dead.

Instinctively, Qin Yang was reluctant.

After all, it was the dirty and tiring work of handling a corpse. It was common knowledge that killing was easy, but destroying evidence was difficult, yet he was the one tasked with cleaning up.

But then, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Yang's mind, and he immediately agreed!

After all, this was a disciple of the Yunqing Sect, a righteous cultivator.

They must have had cultivation techniques on them. If he could obtain one, it would greatly enhance his own strength.

Qin Yang had no intention of cultivating the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique. He would never become an evil cultivator in this lifetime!

So, after Lu Xun and Chang Er left, he immediately took action, bringing the dried corpse to a remote, uninhabited area far away.

"Forgive me, I didn't want to loot your corpse."

"But I have no choice. I desperately need a spell right now to utilize my cultivation."

"If we meet again in the next life, I promise I won't let you die so miserably."

Qin Yang muttered continuously.

Then, he removed the clothes from the dried corpse and searched it thoroughly.

He actually found something.

Hidden within the corpse's clothing were two spells: one named Calm Cloud Swordplay, and the other named True Martial Qi Infusion Method.

Both spells were straightforward in concept but complex in their incantations.

Qin Yang, having just started, already felt the strain!

"As expected of righteous cultivation methods, the barrier to entry is high."

"I already have a certain foundation in cultivation, yet I still find it obscure and difficult to practice."

"Fortunately, time is the one thing I don't lack. These two spells will be enough for me to cultivate for a long time!"

He rejoiced inwardly.

What had troubled him the most before was having a cultivation base but being unable to unleash its full potential.

But it was different with spells.

Under the same Spiritual Power conditions, using a spell to mobilize it could double the power. The difference between using spells and not using them was like night and day!

"I saw those three women use the Calm Cloud Swordplay just now. It was indeed powerful, dazzling and with astonishing sword intent."

"This must be a decent swordplay technique from the Yunqing Sect!"

Qin Yang thought to himself.

Looking again at the technique called the True Martial Qi Infusion Method, its obscurity and difficulty to understand were even greater than that of the Calm Cloud Swordplay.

Even if it was just based on feeling, he could tell that the power of this True Martial Qi Infusion Method was definitely greater than that of the Calm Cloud Swordplay. These two techniques were not on the same level!

"It's fine to take them both together. Thank you."

"Once I succeed in my cultivation, I will repay you by ensuring you live for two lifetimes. I, Qin Yang, stand by my word!"

Qin Yang secretly made up his mind, then dug a pit on the spot and buried the dried corpse.

After this great accomplishment, he then hurried back to the cave dwelling.

Upon returning to the cave dwelling, due to the turmoil that had just occurred, the captured Medicinal Seeds were all terrified. They huddled in a corner deep within the cave dwelling, not daring to say a word.

Qin Yang confirmed that Lu Xun and Chang Er were not following him before returning to his own living quarters.

RUMBLE!

The stone door was shut tight. At this moment, Tan Yurou, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally emerged.

"You're quite clever, knowing to hide and only coming out when I return."

Qin Yang nodded slightly. Tan Yurou was at least not a liability, just a bit naive.

"Of course! By the way, what happened outside? Did my senior sisters come looking for me? Why has it suddenly become quiet again?" Tan Yurou asked eagerly, full of anticipation.

This left Qin Yang momentarily speechless.

After thinking for a moment, he decided it was best not to conceal the truth.

"Just now, your senior sisters did indeed come."

"Really?!" Tan Yurou rejoiced, but quickly realized something. "Since they came, where did they go? Couldn't they save us?"

"To be frank, they all died at the hands of the Old Devil," Qin Yang shook his head.

What?!

All dead?!

Tan Yurou took a deep breath, her body staggered, and her face turned ashen with shock!
