She Still Had to Thank Me!

She Still Had to Thank Me!

[Host has died. Karma has been reset!]

[The host may choose one item to inherit from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Cultivation Methods, and cultivation level obtained in the previous life.]

[Inheritable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: Earth Spirit Pearl, Cave Immortal Land Scroll.]

[Inheritable Cultivation Methods: Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique, Calm Cloud Swordplay, True Martial Qi Infusion Method.]

[Inheritable cultivation level: Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer.]

[Please choose what to inherit.]

A system voice rang out, and Qin Yang woke up once more, still inside the familiar cave abode.

The sensation of self-detonating not long ago remained vivid in his mind, and he still felt shaken.

"I never expected self-detonation to feel this terrible. It was as if every bone from head to toe had been blown to pieces. It was truly agonizing."

Qin Yang could not help laughing bitterly inwardly.

But there was nothing he could do.

If he had been even a moment slower and been captured by Xuan Chengzi, then with the methods of the Soul-Seizing Technique, he would not have been able to die even if he wanted to.

As for Tan Yurou, she still had to thank me!

"Forget it. I'll first see what I can inherit."

Qin Yang thought to himself.

Looking at the choices before him, he likewise set aside the Earth Spirit Pearl and the Cave Immortal Land Scroll first. The reason was simple: whether it was the Earth Spirit Pearl or the Cave Immortal Land Scroll, he could obtain them again after restarting.

Moreover, as his cultivation level increased, the difficulty of obtaining them would also drop greatly.

Even without inheriting his cultivation level for now, Qin Yang's strength was already at the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer, enough to easily smash that Azure Blood Crocodile and Bai Feng to pieces!

Then there were those few Cultivation Methods.

Qin Yang had long since committed them to memory. There was likewise no need to inherit them yet. At present, the only issue was that he temporarily had no way to cultivate Calm Cloud Swordplay and True Martial Qi Infusion Method to the great accomplishment stage.

"So, directly inheriting the boost in cultivation level is still the most straightforward choice."

"After all, as long as I inherit the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer cultivation level in this life, I'll be able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer after obtaining the Earth Spirit Pearl. It might even be possible to find an opportunity to reach Foundation Establishment!"

He mulled it over.

Thus, he decisively chose to inherit the cultivation level.

Buzz!

Because Qin Yang himself had inherited cultivation levels in his previous two lives and reached the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer, after restarting, he likewise began at the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer and directly advanced to the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer.

"It's a pity the system's inheritance doesn't let me add the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer cultivation level on top of my Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer cultivation level. Otherwise, after stacking them together, I'd only need to restart for two or three lives before I could easily break through to Foundation Establishment."

He shook his head secretly.

After these several restarts and inheritances of cultivation levels, he had thoroughly understood this point. When inheriting a cultivation level, the highest cultivation level from the previous life directly overwrote the original cultivation level!

After inheriting the cultivation level from his previous life, Qin Yang's system panel appeared before him once more.

[Host: Qin Yang]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer]

[Magic Treasures: None]

[Cultivation Methods: Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique, Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, Calm Cloud Swordplay, True Martial Qi Infusion Method.]

[Lifespan: 16/90]

[Spiritual Root: Fire (Low Grade)]

"That damn Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique actually restarted with me too."

When Qin Yang saw the Cultivation Methods section of his panel, he wished he possessed the ability to cut out memories. He truly did not want to be forced to become an evil cultivator.

Yet there was nothing he could do.

Memories had their benefits, but they also had their drawbacks.

The benefit was that when he restarted, his memories would not be emptied. He could remember everything that had happened in his previous life, as well as the locations of various Cultivation Methods and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The drawback was naturally that once he had cultivated an evil technique like the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique, there was no way to forget it completely.

"Forget it. Cultivating it is no big deal."

"Using an evil technique to deal with evil cultivators will at least let me feel a little more at ease!"

Qin Yang accepted this reality.

Immediately afterward, he calmed his mind and began thinking seriously. He felt that his previous life had been far too unfortunate. He had clearly been about to wait for Su Ye to come knocking and cause trouble for Xuan Chengzi, yet in the end, not only had he gained nothing, he had even been forced to self-detonate and restart.

"The source of everything began when those three senior sisters of Tan Yurou stirred up trouble."

"If Tan Yurou's three senior sisters hadn't arrogantly come looking for trouble, Xuan Chengzi wouldn't have been alarmed, nor would he have wanted to leave this place."

"Of course, it would be best if Tan Yurou's three senior sisters could find an even stronger expert, such as a sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Yunqing Sect. If they came in that kind of state, there definitely wouldn't be a problem."

Qin Yang pondered.

Either he had the powerful righteous experts of the Yunqing Sect fight Xuan Chengzi to the death, or he waited for that Old Devil Su Ye to come knocking and seek trouble from Xuan Chengzi.

In the end, everything was for the sake of finding an antidote to the Soul Locking Pill poison in his body.

"Should I take the initiative this life and kill those three senior sisters of Tan Yurou on the way?"

"If I do that, Xuan Chengzi won't be alarmed, and that Old Devil Su Ye will still be able to find this place successfully!"

Qin Yang mulled it over.

That Old Devil Su Ye had already found his way to Xiabai City. It was only because he had encountered Qin Yang in the previous two lives that he had found Xuan Chengzi's cave abode a little earlier.

If Qin Yang wanted to rely on Su Ye to restrain Xuan Chengzi and fish in troubled waters to obtain the antidote, then those three troublesome Yunqing Sect disciples had to be dealt with.

However, after thinking about it briefly, Qin Yang knew that this method was completely unworkable.

The reason was simple: Tan Yurou's three senior sisters were all at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.

Not to mention that his cultivation level was currently only at the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer—even if he reached the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer, two fists could not defeat six hands. How could he possibly beat them?

Moreover, a new idea arose in Qin Yang's heart.

Since he could not kill those three Yunqing Sect disciples, why not take the initiative to inform them and have them return to invite experts?

That way, not only could Xuan Chengzi be killed, but even if he could not obtain the antidote from Xuan Chengzi, he could seek help from a righteous sect like the Yunqing Sect.

He did not believe that a righteous sect like that had no way to deal with the Soul Locking Pill poison!

"However, if I do that, I must first be able to win the trust of Tan Yurou's three senior sisters. Otherwise, everything will be for nothing."

"If I can truly lure experts from the Yunqing Sect here to kill Xuan Chengzi, this will definitely be the optimal solution for eliminating the Soul Locking Pill poison in my body."

"Once I'm no longer restricted by the Soul Locking Pill poison, won't the seas be broad and the skies high, with me free to soar wherever I please?"

Having thought this far, Qin Yang studied the matter carefully again and confirmed that there were no problems.

The only difficulty was that he first had to win the trust of Tan Yurou's three senior sisters and make them believe his words!

"It won't be difficult to make those three Yunqing Sect disciples believe me."

"As long as I can take something belonging to Tan Yurou as a token and carry it with me—or even bring them a message from her—I should have no problem earning their trust!"

Thus, Qin Yang made up his mind completely. He deduced the plan once more in his heart and confirmed that nothing would go wrong.

If the immortal-cultivation world he currently inhabited were compared to the single-player games of his previous life, then he was already a calm and collected "new game plus" player!
