Blood Devouring Pearl, Arrival of the Qingyun Sect, the Heaven-Defying Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart (Black) Word Trait

Su Han looked at the blood-red, rune-covered Blood Devouring Pearl Puzhi handed him and carefully accepted it.

At the same time, he studied it curiously, silently pondering to himself.

The Blood Devouring Pearl felt slightly cool in his hand. The patterns on its surface seemed to contain some mysterious power, while its blood-red glow flickered faintly, as if countless departed souls were wailing in grief.

Su Han's expression gradually turned solemn. "So this is the legendary Blood Devouring Pearl?"

"It truly is extraordinarily sinister."

"No wonder even an enlightened monk like Puzhi had his mind affected by its Demonic Nature."

Puzhi did not know what Su Han was thinking. He simply continued with his instructions.

"I am giving you this pearl. Keep it well, and never let outsiders see it."

"Once you have settled down in the future, find a deep valley or cliff and throw it away."

"Also, you must never reveal the name I told you just now to outsiders!"

"Yes!"

Su Han nodded in agreement and carefully tucked the Blood Devouring Pearl into his clothes, treating it with great importance.

After all, this Blood Devouring Pearl was one of the materials Su Han intended to use to forge a flying sword. Materials from Buddhism, Daoism, and demon arts combined into one... such a flying sword...

Seeing Su Han's careful movements, Puzhi nodded in satisfaction.

"You and I share such a karmic bond. I wonder whether we will meet again in the next life."

With a soft sigh, Puzhi spoke again. "Now, recite this incantation after me."

Thunder shook the heavens, rain poured down in torrents, and fierce winds howled.

Inside the ruined temple outside Caomiao Village.

An old man and a child sat facing each other beneath candlelight.

One earnestly imparted the technique, while the other earnestly memorized it.

It was not until the latter half of the night, when Puzhi had confirmed that Su Han had thoroughly memorized the Great Brahma Prajna incantation—

Bang!

Puzhi gently knocked Su Han unconscious.

"Child, how could the Qingyun Sect be so easy to enter? Let your master help you one last time."

The next morning, the sun rose.

The heavy rain that had lasted all night finally came to a complete stop.

Dewdrops glittered beneath the morning sun and slid down fallen leaves, seeming to herald a new beginning.

At the entrance of the ruined temple outside Caomiao Village.

"The outsider you mentioned is inside this temple?"

A youth wearing the robes of the Qingyun Sect walked toward the ruined temple with a dazed, foolish-looking farmer and two children in tow, asking as he went.

"Yes, Daoist."

Lin Jingyu hurriedly answered.

Xiao Yicai did not respond. Instead, he carefully gripped the sword on his back and warily pushed open the temple door.

There were not many things inside the ruined temple, and the entire place could be seen at a glance.

Other than a child sleeping soundly, there was nothing else.

Lin Jingyu pointed at Su Han. "Daoist, this is the outsider I mentioned."

Xiao Yicai nodded and sensed him briefly. "Just an ordinary child..."

Seeing this, he lowered his guard, walked over to Su Han, and gently nudged him.

"Wake up, little fellow."

"Hm? Is it morning already?"

Su Han muttered groggily. When he opened his eyes, he saw a Daoist dressed in blue standing before him in surprise.

Behind him stood Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, and the crazed Uncle Wang.

Feeling the pain at the back of his head, Su Han understood what had happened almost instantly.

"Master Puzhi, have you finally taken that step?"

Looking at the tear-streaked faces of Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu, Su Han sighed softly.

"The weak can only be slaughtered by others."

"Since that is the case, then I will be the one to sever the three-foot strings controlling the gods and Buddhas across the heavens!"

Su Han clenched his fists and silently swore an oath.

He never wanted to one day watch his loved ones die before his eyes while being powerless to do anything.

At the same time, Su Han acted as though he knew nothing and looked at Xiao Yicai.

"May I ask who this Daoist is?"

"I am Xiao Yicai of the Qingyun Sect."

After briefly introducing himself, Xiao Yicai impatiently asked, "Little brother, did you see or hear anything last night?"

Su Han shook his head. "No."

"I had not even planned to sleep last night when I suddenly fell asleep for no reason. When I woke up, I saw the four of you, Daoist."

As he spoke, he put on a curious expression. "Why do you ask, Daoist? Did something happen last night?"

Xiao Yicai did not answer. He stared closely at Su Han, seemingly trying to determine whether he was telling the truth.

But faced with Su Han's innocent and curious gaze, he sighed.

"It seems he is the same as Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu. As for suddenly falling asleep, he was probably knocked unconscious as well."

Thinking this, Xiao Yicai shook his head slightly.

"It is nothing."

"May I ask where little brother lives, and why you came to Caomiao Village?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yicai's question, Su Han's eyes instantly filled with "longing"!

"I come from nearby Heyang City."

"A few days ago, I happened to hear that Qingyun Mountain was home to the Qingyun Sect, the greatest Daoist sect under heaven. So I came here to seek a master!"

Xiao Yicai asked in surprise, "You wish to become a disciple of the Qingyun Sect?"

"That's right. Is that not allowed?"

Xiao Yicai smiled. "Of course it is. As it happens, I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Would little brother be willing to return to the Qingyun Sect with me?"

"Yes, yes..."

Su Han seemed exceptionally innocent and delighted as he nodded vigorously without the slightest hesitation.

"Very well, then little brother, come with me."

After saying that, Xiao Yicai turned around, preparing to bring the four surviving orphans of Caomiao Village back to the Qingyun Sect to report.

Perhaps because there were too many people, Xiao Yicai did not use Sword Riding Flight. Instead, he took out a flying artifact resembling a small boat.

It drifted leisurely through the white clouds.

However, Su Han had no mood to admire the beautiful scenery stretching across the skies. Instead, he impatiently said to the system in his heart.

"System, open the Personal Attribute Panel."
