The Cold Spell Became Warm Strength

"How could this happen?!"

"Senior Sister and the others are all at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer, how could they be so vulnerable?!"

Tan Yurou couldn't believe it, she muttered.

"Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer? The Old Devil in this demon cave is at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Do you think they could be his opponent?" Qin Yang shook his head.

He hadn't said it directly before, he just didn't want to discourage Tan Yurou.

Plus, he wanted to see if any other Yunqing Sect experts would come along.

As a result, after the incident, he realized that these Yunqing Sect disciples were too presumptuous, or rather, completely fearless. Three people dared to charge into the demon cave, wasn't that asking for death?

Even Qin Yang, who had a system and wasn't afraid of death, wouldn't dare to play around like this!

A Foundation Establishment Realm Old Devil!

Tan Yurou was even more shocked. She never expected such a terrifying old man to exist.

"Senior Sister and the others, is there really no hope of saving them?"

Her heart was greatly shaken, and she still couldn't accept this terrible fact.

Qin Yang directly spread his hands.

"How can we save them?"

"Unless your Yunqing Sect has more experts coming, no one can save them. That Old Devil's methods are inhumane."

"..."

Tan Yurou's eyes dimmed. She squatted on the ground and buried her head in her arms, sobbing.

"It's... it's all my fault."

"If I hadn't been so greedy for fun back then, Senior Sister and the others wouldn't have died saving me. It's all my fault."

"If only I had gone with Senior Sister and the others to find the Earth Spirit Pearl from the beginning."

Earth Spirit Pearl?

Why this thing again?

Qin Yang scratched his head when he heard Tan Yurou's self-blaming voice. In his previous two lives, Ye Cheng and the others were looking for the Earth Spirit Pearl, and now this Tan Yurou was captured because she went down the mountain to search for the Earth Spirit Pearl.

A mere Earth Spirit Pearl could attract the favor of so many Yunqing Sect disciples!

Of course, Qin Yang couldn't tell her that he had already taken and refined the Earth Spirit Pearl.

Looking at the constantly sobbing and self-blaming Tan Yurou, Qin Yang didn't know what to say.

"From now on, you can't run around. I've already told that Old Devil that you've been killed by me."

"If this is exposed, not only will you die, but I will also be cut into a thousand pieces!"

Qin Yang warned.

Although Tan Yurou didn't respond, she still nodded. She understood this much.

After that, Qin Yang took out the Calm Cloud Swordplay and True Martial Qi Infusion Method he had just obtained from looting the corpse.

He started with the incantations of these two techniques. To cultivate, the primary key was to memorize the incantations.

This way, even if he restarted, as long as he remembered the incantations, he could cultivate at any time without having to desperately search for techniques to practice!

"En?"

"You, isn't this our Yunqing Sect's Calm Cloud Swordplay? You even have the True Martial Qi Infusion Method!"

"How did you get them?!"

Tan Yurou quickly noticed the movement and stepped forward in surprise.

After all, these two techniques were secret arts of the Yunqing Sect that only disciples who had entered the sect could have a chance to learn and cultivate.

And Qin Yang was not a disciple of their Yunqing Sect, let alone being trapped in this demon cave the whole time!

"Didn't your Senior Sister die? I got them from your Senior Sister."

"After all, things should be used to their fullest. There's no point in wasting these two excellent techniques, don't you think?"

"You beast, give them back!" Tan Yurou was furious, stomping her feet. She never expected that Qin Yang had obtained these things from her Senior Sister!

However, how could she be Qin Yang's opponent?

Let alone snatching these two techniques, she couldn't even touch Qin Yang.

"Look how anxious you are."

"Your Senior Sister's fate is sealed. She can't take such good techniques to her grave. I think your Senior Sister wouldn't have any objections if she knew."

"Besides, aren't I also cultivating techniques to strengthen myself and escape this damned place?"

Qin Yang reasoned with her, appealing to her emotions and logic.

In the end, he succeeded in making Tan Yurou cry uncontrollably.

"You bastard, you shameless, you beast!"

"It's one thing that evil cultivator killed my senior sister, but you're bullying a dead person who can't speak. May you die a terrible death!"

Tan Yurou sobbed.

"..."

Qin Yang scratched his head. Thinking about it this way, it really did seem quite hellish for Tan Yurou.

But there was no other way. To improve his strength, he couldn't pass up this excellent opportunity.

"I'll return these two techniques to you, but you have to help me with something first."

Qin Yang said seriously.

"Help with what?" Tan Yurou's eyes were teary, her entire eye sockets red.

"The incantations for these two techniques are too obscure and difficult to understand. Since you have a dual Spirit Root and exceptional talent, why not help me comprehend and cultivate them?"

Qin Yang asked with a sincere expression.

To his surprise, Tan Yurou cried even harder.

"Beast, can't you just die already!"

Wait, this is also a problem?

I didn't say I wouldn't return them.

Qin Yang shook his head, truly bewildered. He had already agreed to return the two techniques, yet Tan Yurou's reaction was still so strong.

Helpless, he had no choice but to memorize the incantations of the two techniques himself and begin comprehending them in advance.

Not long after, Tan Yurou stopped crying because no one was paying attention to her and even proactively came over.

"I'll help you, but you have to give me the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method first."

Tan Yurou said with red eyes.

"Why?"

"I want to cultivate them too!" Tan Yurou responded decisively.

This made Qin Yang both amused and exasperated. If only you had said so earlier.

"It would have been better if you had said so earlier, but it's not too late for you to realize it now."

"Although your senior sisters are dead, the techniques they left behind will become a warm strength within us, staying with us until they help us escape this devil's den!"

"Really?" Tan Yurou asked, half-believing.

"Absolutely true." Qin Yang replied with a serious expression.

Tan Yurou no longer dwelled on her deceased senior sisters.

After all, they were still alive and needed to find a way to escape this devil's den. The prerequisite was to first improve their strength, and the Calm Cloud Swordplay and True Martial Qi Infusion Method were perfect for their cultivation right now!

However, unlike Tan Yurou's goal.

Qin Yang wasn't just aiming to escape this devil's den; he was also trying to resolve the poison of the Soul Locking Pill within him.

Otherwise, he would have killed Bai Feng and fled long ago after his rebirth. The poison of the Soul Locking Pill in his body was the most urgent matter.

The antidote for this poison would either be found from Xuan Chengzi, or he would have to find a righteous sect to help. The Yunqing Sect was one of Qin Yang's targets.

If he could escape with Tan Yurou, he would definitely gain the trust of the Yunqing Sect. This way, he would have the qualifications to negotiate and obtain the antidote.

Of course, he could also improve his cultivation and choose to confront Xuan Chengzi head-on, defeating him to obtain the antidote. Therefore, improving his strength was the priority no matter what, and the two goals didn't conflict!
