Chapter 35: She Should Thank Me!

[Host has died, causality has been reset!]

[Host may choose one item from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, spells, or cultivation obtained in the previous life to inherit.]

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

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

[Inheritable Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer.]

[Please choose your inheritance.]

A series of system voices chimed as Qin Yang awoke again, still in his familiar cave dwelling.

The sensation of self-detonation from not long ago was still vivid in his mind, leaving him with lingering fear.

"I didn't expect self-detonation to feel so awful. Every bone from head to toe felt like it was pulverized. Truly painful."

Qin Yang couldn't help but let out a wry laugh inwardly.

But there was no other choice.

If he had been even a moment later, he would have been captured by Xuan Chengzi. With that Soul-Seizing Technique, he wouldn't even be able to die.

As for Tan Yurou, she should be thanking me!

"Never mind, let's see what I can inherit first," Qin Yang thought to himself.

Looking at the choices before him, he first set aside the Earth Spirit Pearl and the Cave Immortal Land scroll. The reason was simple: both the Earth Spirit Pearl and the Cave Immortal Land scroll could be obtained again after restarting.

Moreover, with his improved cultivation, the difficulty of obtaining them would be greatly reduced.

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

Looking at the spells again.

Qin Yang had already memorized them all. They were not at a point where they needed to be inherited yet. It was just that he currently couldn't cultivate the Calm Cloud Swordplay and True Martial Qi Infusion Method to the perfected stage.

"Therefore, inheriting cultivation directly offers the most tangible improvement."

"After all, if I inherit the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer cultivation in this life, I can obtain the Earth Spirit Pearl and break through to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer. It's even possible to find an opportunity to reach Foundation Establishment!" he mused.

He decisively chose to inherit cultivation.

Buzzz!

Since Qin Yang had already inherited cultivation in his previous two lives, reaching the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer, he started from the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer again after restarting and was directly boosted to the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer.

"It's a shame the system's inheritance doesn't add the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer cultivation on top of my Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer. Otherwise, if I stacked it up, I could easily break through to Foundation Establishment after just two or three restarts."

He shook his head inwardly.

After these few restarts and cultivation inheritances, he had thoroughly understood this point: inheriting cultivation meant the highest cultivation from the previous life would directly overwrite the existing cultivation!

After inheriting the cultivation from his previous life, Qin Yang's system panel reappeared before him.

[Host: Qin Yang] [Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer] [Magic Treasures: None] [Spells: Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique, Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, Calm Cloud Swordplay, True Martial Qi Infusion Method.] [Lifespan: 16/90] [Spirit Root: Fire (Low-grade)]

"This damned Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique actually restarted with me."

Seeing the spells section on his panel, Qin Yang wished he had the ability to erase memories. He truly didn't want to be forced into being an evil cultivator.

However, there was no alternative.

Memories had their pros and cons.

The advantage was that memories weren't cleared during a restart, allowing him to remember everything that happened in the previous life and the locations of various spells and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The disadvantage, naturally, was that after cultivating evil techniques like the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique, it was impossible to forget them.

"Forget it, it's not impossible to cultivate it."

"I can deal with evil cultivators using evil methods. I can do so with a clear conscience!"

Qin Yang accepted this reality.

Next, he calmed his mind and began to think seriously. He felt his previous life had been too regrettable. He had been so close to waiting for Su Ye to come find trouble with Xuan Chengzi, but he hadn't gained anything and had to self-detonate to restart.

"The root of everything must be traced back to Tan Yurou's three senior sisters causing trouble."

"If Tan Yurou's three senior sisters hadn't arrogantly come looking for trouble, Xuan Chengzi wouldn't have been alerted, and he wouldn't have wanted to leave this place."

"Of course, it would be best if Tan Yurou's three senior sisters could find a stronger expert, like a sword cultivator with Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation from the Yunqing Sect. Coming in this state would definitely not be a problem."

Qin Yang pondered.

Either he could have the powerful righteous cultivators of the Yunqing Sect fight Xuan Chengzi to the death, or he could wait for that old devil Su Ye to come looking for trouble with Xuan Chengzi.

The ultimate goal was to find the antidote for the Soul Locking Pill poison in his body.

"Why don't I take the initiative this time and kill Tan Yurou's three senior sisters on the way?"

"This way, Xuan Chengzi won't be alerted, and that old devil Su Ye will be able to find this place successfully!"

Qin Yang mused.

That old devil Su Ye had already found his way to Cloud Mist City, but because he had encountered him in the previous two lifetimes, he had found Xuan Chengzi's cave dwelling a little earlier.

If he wanted to use Su Ye to restrain Xuan Chengzi and take advantage of the chaos to get the antidote, those three annoying Yunqing Sect disciples had to be dealt with.

However, after a moment's thought, Qin Yang knew this method was completely unfeasible.

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

Let alone his current cultivation of only the Qi Refining Realm Eighth Layer, even if he reached the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer, he couldn't fight against so many opponents alone. How could he possibly win?

Moreover, a new idea sparked in Qin Yang's mind.

Since he couldn't kill those three Yunqing Sect disciples, why didn't he inform them himself and ask them to go back and invite an expert?

This way, not only could Xuan Chengzi be killed, but even if he couldn't get the antidote from Xuan Chengzi, he could seek help from a righteous sect like the Yunqing Sect.

He didn't believe such a righteous sect wouldn't have a way to solve the poison of the Soul Locking Pill!

"However, to do this, I first need to gain the trust of Tan Yurou's three senior sisters, otherwise, it will all be in vain."

"If I can truly lure the powerful cultivators of the Yunqing Sect to kill Xuan Chengzi, this would definitely be the optimal solution for me to resolve the Soul Locking Pill poison."

"As long as the restriction of the Soul Locking Pill poison is gone, wouldn't the vast sky be open for me to fly?"

With this thought, Qin Yang studied it carefully again, confirming there were no problems.

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

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

"As long as I can bring something belonging to Tan Yurou as proof of identity, or even leave a message for them, I should be able to gain their trust!"

Thus, Qin Yang made up his mind completely. He ran through the plan in his mind again, ensuring there would be no mistakes.

If the current cultivation world were compared to a single-player game from his past life, he was now a "multi-round" player who could remain unmoved!
