Always Remember to Wear a Helmet When You Go Out!

Before long, the little girl with the Water Spirit Root was brought in and thrown into the Alchemy Furnace to be refined into pills.

As expected, Qin Yang received a Water Spirit Pill to test.

This time, he was already familiar with the process, because he knew this Water Spirit Pill could raise his cultivation.

Gulp.

The pill entered his stomach, and a surge of pure energy immediately spread through his body. Qin Yang could clearly feel that this improvement was not as great as it had been in his previous life.

"That makes sense. This pill doesn't contain that much spiritual energy to begin with, and I'm already at the Qi Refining Realm First Layer. It definitely can't have the same effect on me."

"If I took another one, I should be able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer!"

Qin Yang thought to himself.

He was already more than satisfied. After all, the cultivation he gained could be carried over into his next life!

"Alright, for the time being, go gather herbs with Bai Feng."

Xuan Chengzi waved a hand.

Qin Yang walked out of the Pill Refining Room, a trace of coldness and eager anticipation flashing deep in his eyes.

He could no longer wait to put the idea in his heart into practice!

"Junior Brother Qin, congratulations!"

Bai Feng arrived, as warm and enthusiastic as he had been in Qin Yang's previous life.

But Qin Yang had already seen the man's hypocritical face. There was no way he would believe such nonsense again. He fobbed him off all the way out of the cave and into the open.

"Junior Brother, let's not beat around the bush. Do you want to leave?"

Once they were far enough from the cave dwelling, Bai Feng spoke.

Yeah right, like I'd believe that crap!

Qin Yang cursed inwardly, secretly rolling his eyes.

Of course, now was not the time to fall out with him.

"Senior Brother Bai has a way?" This time, he was blunt and asked directly.

Sure enough, Bai Feng was delighted. He revealed his plan and mentioned the spirit formation he had already set up.

Qin Yang nodded again and again, practically itching to answer before Bai Feng could finish.

"Great! It's good that you're willing. Come with me."

Bai Feng turned and led the way ahead, but a sinister chill had already appeared in his eyes.

He took the bait, just as expected!

Qin Yang did not hesitate and decisively followed.

Of course, there was no way he would actually follow Bai Feng all the way to their destination.

Along the way, he secretly picked out a fine, smooth stone and weighed it in his hand.

"Senior Brother Bai."

"Hmm?"

Bai Feng had just turned around and was about to ask what it was when, in the blink of an eye, a dark shadow smashed down toward his forehead.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out. Bai Feng saw stars, staggering backward.

"What a hard head. You actually shattered the stone."

"Good thing there are plenty of rocks around here!"

Seeing that Bai Feng had not fallen, Qin Yang hurriedly took advantage of his dizziness to grab several more large stones, then smashed them all down on him without a second thought.

It was indeed effective.

Although Bai Feng had cultivation, he was not particularly strong. Qin Yang himself was also at the Qi Refining Realm First Layer, and after channeling the thin Spiritual Power within him into his hands, his strength became astonishing.

Each blow carried at least five or six hundred jin of force.

After several stones, Bai Feng's face was already covered in blood.

But that was all.

"Qin Yang!"

"I'll kill you!"

Bai Feng roared. Even with his vision obstructed, he caught a stone, then crushed it to powder with his bare hand!

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qin Yang did not linger. He could tell this bastard's head was truly hard—at the very least, far too hard for his current strength to crack open!

"To hell with you."

"I'll let you learn a lesson this time. When you're out and about, remember to wear a helmet. Otherwise, in your next life, I'll make sure your skull gets cracked wide open!"

The moment he finished speaking, Qin Yang turned and ran.

There was no hesitation, no lingering attachment whatsoever.

In his plan, he needed to strike Bai Feng down midway—at the very least, he had to make sure Bai Feng had no chance of catching up to him anytime soon.

As long as he could escape this area and find a place with people, then everything would be easier to handle.

And indeed, things went exactly as he had expected.

Bai Feng had been smashed until he was dazed and disoriented, his forehead a bloody mangled mess. Blood smeared over both his eyes, leaving him completely unable to see what was around him.

At this moment, what he needed to guard against instead was whether Qin Yang might come back and strike him again!

"Qin Yang, you little bastard! Don't let me catch you!"

After confirming that Qin Yang had truly left, Bai Feng wiped away some of the blood and regained enough sight to see before him. His lungs nearly exploded with rage.

Out of nowhere, that bastard had actually launched a sneak attack?

Could it be that Qin Yang could foresee the future and knew what he was about to do?!

"No, impossible. There is no way Qin Yang could know about my affairs."

"Then it seems that little bastard intends to flee for his life alone?"

"But he has been poisoned by the Soul Locking Pill. Why would he run? He is destined not to survive beyond a month!"

Bai Feng racked his brains but could not make sense of it.

In the end, he could only attribute it to one reason: Qin Yang was an idiot.

"You fool who doesn't know his own limits—this is the path you chose yourself."

"Once I report this to Master, let's see where you can run!"

"Once you're caught and brought back, I'll make you taste what it means to beg for life but be unable to live, to beg for death but be unable to die!"

Bai Feng's head throbbed terribly.

Especially when he recalled Qin Yang's parting words, deliberately reminding him to wear a helmet—it was simply... utterly outrageous!

Before long, Bai Feng returned to the cave abode with his head split open and blood streaming down his face.

Arriving at the Pill Refining Room, he truthfully reported his earlier encounter to Xuan Chengzi.

Xuan Chengzi remained calm at this, though an unintentional flicker of disappointment passed through his eyes.

"What a pity. Such a fine little child, with such remarkable talent for pill refining—wouldn't it have been good for him to learn pill refining at this old man's side?"

"Very well."

"Lu Xun, Chang Er!"

The moment he spoke, two figures appeared in the Pill Refining Room in perfect unison, startling Bai Feng.

Seeing that they were the two Senior Brothers who had gone down the mountain to capture Medicinal Seeds and had now returned, he hurriedly bowed.

"You three, immediately capture Qin Yang and bring him back. This old man will refine him into a pill, so that he may accompany this old man forever!"

"Remember, don't kill him. Only a fresh body can bring the medicinal effects to their utmost limit!"

Xuan Chengzi said sinisterly.

"This disciple obeys!"

The eldest disciple, Lu Xun, was broad and powerfully built, his gaze hollow and numb. Yet he possessed a formidable aura, constantly exuding an air of wickedness.

The second disciple, Chang Er, was tall and skinny, with two palm-sized ears that were especially eye-catching.

These two were Xuan Chengzi's two great disciples!

Having received their orders, the three immediately left the cave abode and gave chase.

"Hehehe, trying to escape from this old man's palm? Dream on!"

"Little child, you brought this upon yourself!"

A bizarre, sinister aura spread from Xuan Chengzi's body!
