Nether God Pill, Memory Devouring

Li Yan had just stepped into the courtyard of Jingxu Temple when he saw Old Daoist Xuanwang arriving with a group of disciples.

Seeing his master come to greet him personally, Li Yan bowed and said, "Disciple Ming Yan greets Master!"

Xuanwang didn't say much, but directly raised his palm.

Accompanied by a suction force, the White Bone Blood Crystal that Li Yan had hidden in his sleeve flew directly into Xuanwang's hand.

Looking at the crystal clear treasure in his hand, containing the essence of blood, Xuanwang revealed a satisfied smile.

"Well done, Ming Yan."

"From today onwards, you will be promoted from Labor Disciple to Outer Sect Disciple, and you can receive five medicinal stones every month."

"The outer room of the Stone Workshop Eatery belongs to you, and you will still be in charge of the Stone Workshop Eatery."

Seeing this, Li Yan secretly rejoiced that he had hidden those crystals outside in advance, otherwise they would have all been taken away by this old Daoist.

Li Yan tactfully bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for your cultivation!"

"Yes, Ming Yan, come with me."

"Yes!"

Li Yan came behind Xuanwang and followed him into the inner courtyard, arriving outside the Alchemy Room.

"Disciple, wait here, I want to refine this treasure."

Letting Li Yan wait outside the door, the old Daoist took the White Bone Blood Crystal inside.

If he remembered correctly, that Blood Crystal contained the soul of Senior Brother Ming Zhe...

Through the crack in the window, Li Yan could see the insane Old Daoist Xuanwang placing the crystal into the Alchemy Furnace.

Xuanwang pinched his fingers, summoning a wisp of ghostly cyan strange fire, and ignited the Alchemy Furnace.

Before long, Ming Zhe's wailing could be heard from inside the Alchemy Furnace.

His soul gradually faded away under the roasting of the strange fire in the Alchemy Furnace.

About half an hour later, a pill rolled out of the furnace.

Xuanwang picked up the white and red pill, his wrinkled face gathered together, squeezing out a creepy smile on his old face.

Holding the pill, Xuanwang pushed open the door and came to Li Yan.

"Disciple, eat this, it will be good for you."

Xuanwang handed the pill to Li Yan, leaving no room for discussion.

But so what if this medicine has side effects? The stronger the side effects, the more he likes it.

"Thank you, Master!"

Without saying a word, he swallowed the pill directly.

The moment it entered his mouth, Li Yan could feel a powerful resentment.

That was the intense curse that Senior Brother Ming Zhe had erupted before his death, and he seemed to be able to hear his hateful curses.

But so what?

Ming Zhe had wanted to harm people several times, and it was a meritorious deed to have this scourge die in his hands.

[Detected that the host has swallowed a [Nether God Pill] with strong side effects.]

[Side effects: Strong evil thoughts will cause the host to be restless and plant a demon in the Dao heart.]

[Convert side effects: Host Spiritual Vision +1. The higher the Spiritual Vision level, the easier it is to see through the essence of the strange through the Mind's Eye.]

[This pill also has a positive effect, which can increase Blood Qi and inherit part of the Departed Soul's memory.]

In an instant.

Countless memories flooded into Li Yan's mind.

World of Demonic Chaos, Natural Disasters and Man-made Calamities, Widespread Banditry.

Senior Brother Ming Zhe was originally from outside the mountains. He was conscripted into the army at the age of fourteen, and by the age of twenty-one he had become a Seasoned Soldier, killing countless enemies, but also killing good people and falsely claiming credit, often using the heads of fellow villagers to fill military merits.

Until one day, he took his reward money as usual and went to the Brothel opened by the officer to listen to music and watch the newly arrived Camp Follower Prostitute.

After some teasing, Ming Zhe discovered that this woman was actually from his hometown. After further questioning, he desperately discovered that this woman was actually his sister who had been lost for six years.

To save his sister, Ming Zhe gritted his teeth and took her out of the military camp. Under the siege of countless pursuers, he was seriously injured and hid in Mount Bugui.

When Ming Zhe woke up, he was taken by his sister to an abandoned hut in the mountains, and the two siblings began to live in seclusion in the mountains.

Ming Zhe hunted in the mountains, and his sister was responsible for picking wild herbs. Life seemed to be getting better, and the relationship between the two gradually became unusual.

Until one day, when he returned home from hunting.

He found an old Daoist claiming to be Xuanwang, waiting for him in the yard with his sister's head in his hand.

The old Daoist told him that this was not his sister, but a Demonic Painted Skin wearing his sister's skin.

Looking at his sister's beheaded body, a surge of hot blood rushed to his head. He wanted to kill this demonic Daoist to avenge his sister, but he was subdued by Xuanwang in one move, who forcibly fed him a Blood Egg Pill.

The demonic Daoist also said that he had good talent and could withstand the power of the Blood Egg Pill, and wanted to accept him as a disciple.

Due to the strength of the demonic path, Ming Zhe had no choice but to join Jingxu Temple, secretly enduring and constantly thinking of revenge.

Even though he had long understood that his sister had been shot with several arrows and died in the encirclement of the pursuers.

One day, Ming Zhe heard that a new disciple named Li Yan had come to Jingxu Temple, and the master seemed to value this disciple very much.

He volunteered to take his little junior brother Li Yan to familiarize himself with the situation within the sect, leading the little junior brother to the forbidden Library Pavilion on the fourth floor.

As Li Yan digested these memories, he instantly learned many things, including the work within the sect and the taboos within the sect.

Even his cultivation had been elevated to the first level.

At this moment, Li Yan also had a preliminary understanding of the levels of cultivators.

Blood Condensation Realm, Blood Moving Realm, Blood Pill Realm, Blood Cocoon Realm, Feather Ascension Realm...

Within Jingxu Temple, there were often some senior brothers and sisters who disappeared inexplicably. Everyone tacitly knew that they had been taken by the old Taoist to make pills.

After digesting the memories of his senior brother Ming Zhe, Li Yan's expression gradually became solemn.

He did not feel sad for this story; he realized that the old Xuanwang had seemed to have set his sights on him.

Looking back, the old Taoist Xuanwang was gently stroking his long beard, the wrinkles on his old face were piled up, and his eyes were filled with greed.

"Disciple, your growth rate is really fast, far exceeding all your senior brothers and sisters."

"Not bad... not bad."

Xuanwang reached out and patted Li Yan's shoulder, the old man seemed to be suppressing his own greed.

It seemed that he wanted to cultivate Li Yan as a treasure of heaven and earth, until he was fattened up before slaughtering him.

The disciples within the entire Jingxu Temple were actually just domestic pigs raised by Xuanwang.

While doing things for him, they also had to become Xuanwang's pill-making consumables.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, his rapid increase in strength had already aroused Xuanwang's peeping.

This old man wanted to cultivate him, then fatten him up and kill him!

Li Yan secretly clenched his fists, but he knew that the time was not yet ripe.

Xuanwang was a Blood Moving Realm cultivator, and his strength was enough to kill him instantly.

The old Taoist could withstand his Lamp Lighting Technique and forcibly kill Li Yan.

Just as he was thinking, Xuanwang turned around and took out an Ebony Sword from the cabinet next to him.

"Disciple, your teacher will give you a magic weapon; you can take it."

Li Yan took the Ebony Sword without thinking much of it, but his eyes lit up instantly.
