Bloodflame Incineration
"Lord Wang, I also found a letter in Han Shantong's room. That old ghost had already guessed that we were going to take action against him. On the one hand, he sent a message to the Yinyuan Sect for help, and on the other hand, he worshipped the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child to strengthen his power, intending to unite the leaders of more than a dozen forces in the Outer City to fight against us. What a laughable frog in a well! So what if a dozen or so Hidden Strength Martial Artist joined forces? They are all just a bunch of trash." Ran Hongxia said disdainfully.
With a clang, Wang Ling sheathed his sword and said calmly, "Chen Fang, take your men and make this trip. Among all the aforementioned forces, if anyone is found to be colluding with the Yinyuan Sect, their entire family will be exterminated."
"Sir, with this method of killing, I'm afraid all the experts in Jiangyin County will be wiped out. Moreover, once the news gets out, it will surely cause even greater turmoil." Beside Ran Hongxia, a lean man suddenly said. He was the commander of this squad of Prefectural Soldiers, surnamed Chen.
"Chaos? So what if it's chaotic? I'll be staying in Jiangyin County for a while. I want to see just how chaotic they can get!" Wang Ling said coldly.
"Commander Chen, stop dawdling. Just do as Lord Wang says. You know his personality," Ran Hongxia said.
"Yes." Commander Chen turned and left, secretly marveling. He had long heard that Wang Ling was a ruthless and cruel man who hated evil as if it were his enemy. He never showed mercy in his actions and would kill anyone who did evil without hesitation. Moreover, he often tortured and killed those who did evil. His reputation in the Prefectural City was polarized. Some people called him a chivalrous and righteous man, while others said that he was an Evil Spirits hiding inside.
He had never had any contact with Wang Ling before, but now he finally understood.
Anyone who commits evil should be killed; Wang Ling neither cares about nor pays attention to the consequences.
On the other side.
A small courtyard Outer City.
Lin Qing hadn't slept all night. Early in the morning, he got up, drank a bowl of white rice porridge to fill his stomach, and went upstairs.
He sat on the bed, and with a thought, chose to absorb the memories from Han Shantong.
The first part shows scenes from Han Shantong's childhood, depicting him eating chicken, duck, fish, and meat at every meal, having maids and servants at his beck and call, and even consuming raw human milk.
Then came his youth, during which Han Shantong diligently practiced martial arts every day, not only taking large amounts of tonics but also receiving one-on-one instruction from masters of the Han Family.
After reading this, Lin Qing felt nothing but envy. This was the treatment of a rich young master. Poor children who wanted to practice martial arts couldn't even guarantee their food, let alone qi and blood tonics and private coaches.
The scene shifts again, now in middle age. Han Shantong controls the Han Family with ruthless methods, secretly killing many Martial Artists. He also colludes with the Yinyuan Sect to harm young girls, taking their heart's blood, or concocting Forbidden Drug and forcing his servants to take them.
Many Forbidden Drug became highly poisonous due to failed refining processes, and the servants who took them often died tragically.
Seeing this, Lin Qing felt surprisingly calm, because he had already anticipated it. Han Shantong was willing to harm even infants to become stronger, so what were a few servants compared to him?
In this era, many aristocratic lords viewed servants as no different from animals, their lives and deaths entirely at their discretion.
Memories flowed, images shifted, rapidly appearing and disappearing in Lin Qing's mind. In the final moments, he saw many extremely valuable fragments.
"Hidden Chamber in the Rear Mountain?"
When everything faded away and Lin Qing to reality, he felt quite happy.
From the video, he saw that Han Shantong mentioned that he had a Hidden Chamber containing the rare treasures that the Han Family had collected over the years. Among them were the Rebirth Lotus, which could improve the quality of one's Yin Bone, Land Deed from the Prefectural City, Heavenly Dust Sand, and gold, all of which were extremely valuable treasures.
To open the door to this Hidden Chamber, one must possess a set of Bronze Key that Han Shantong always carries with him.
That's not a problem. Lin Qing killed Han Shantong yesterday and got the key from his corpse.
"The only problem now is the exact location of the Hidden Chamber. We only know it's behind the Han Family's Rear Mountain, but we don't know the exact location. Moreover, only Han Shantong knew the exact location, and now that he's dead, I have to find it myself," Lin Qing pondered.
His heart burned with fervor; no matter what, he was determined to find this Hidden Chamber and retrieve all the treasures within.
"Once things calm down, I'll sneak into the back of the Han Family's Rear Mountain and search it thoroughly again. If I spend a little more time, I'm sure I'll find it," Lin Qing thought to himself.
At this moment, a lot of information appeared before him, all of which were Han Shantong's martial arts skills throughout his life.

1. Bloodflame Incineration (Major Mastery)
Originating from the Yinyuan Sect Hidden Strength training method of the Yin Yuan Shu Region, beginners can generate Bloodflame Force. When practicing, dark red lines will appear on both palms. The force touches the body but does not burn the exterior. It targets the internal organs and can burn the blood and qi in the enemy's body, generating blood flame. Those who are hit will feel as if they are being burned internally, and will suffer unbearable pain.
However, the cultivator's mind will be eroded by the Bloodflame Force, and the desire for killing and pain will continue to grow. The cultivator needs to kill constantly to relieve the desire, otherwise he will be easily backfired and go into demonic possession.
2. The Spirit-Devouring Demon Child Visualization Method (Beginner)
The core secret technique of the Yinyuan Sect involves visualizing the form of a ghostly Evil Spirits Spirit-Devouring Demon Child to temper one's will and strengthen one's soul.
Beginners can only maintain visualization for a short time, but long-term practice can slightly improve their tolerance for pain and fear.
However, visualizing something sinister can easily trigger the dark side of one's own heart. If one's will is not firm, it may intensify the desire to kill and even cause hallucinations.
Beginners can worship the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child statue, Evil-Incorporation into the Soul, and obtain corresponding evil magic and spells.
3. Hundred Poison Yin Wind Palm (Beginner)
The Yin Yuan Shu Region is known for its Yinyuan Sect and vicious Combat Arts. Their palm strikes are cold and yin, capable of inflicting deadly poison on their enemies.
Those poisoned will not die immediately, but will feel as if they have been invaded by a cold wind. First, their blood and qi will stagnate, and their limbs will become numb. Then, they will have a persistent high fever and feel as if their internal organs are being twisted.
Without a suitable antidote, they will exhaust their energy and die after several days of suffering.
4. Ground-Sliding Bone-Shattering Scissors (proficient)
A unique Combat Arts prevalent in Shu Region. Those skilled in this technique are adept at either deliberately falling to the ground or launching a counterattack when knocked down.
Their movements are unpredictable, specializing in attacking the lower body. Their legs are like giant scissors, adept at locking, seizing, and breaking the opponent's ankles and knees; their hands are like venomous snakes, grabbing and seizing vital points such as the waist and groin, combined with techniques to dislocate tendons and bones, making them impossible to defend against.
"Bloodflame Incineration?"
Lin Qing was overjoyed. As long as he could replicate the skill of equipment, his strength would increase dramatically.
However, he also saw the message notification on the panel, which could arouse a bloodlust.
After a moment's thought, Lin Qing decided to copy the Bloodflame Incineration at Major Mastery peak and immediately added it to his Equipment Slot.
From Hidden Strength to Transforming Force, his power will increase dramatically, and he can't possibly let such great power go to waste.
As for the problem of growing bloodlust, he felt that there would definitely be a way to solve it in the future, and it wasn't a big deal.
Considering that the initial stage of the Transforming Force training method would open acupoints, unleash Bloodflame Force, and cause drastic changes in the physique, Lin Qing prepared elixirs in advance.
One of them was an Essence-Replenishing Pills, costing 50 taels of silver, which he had been saving for this moment.
He immediately swallowed the pill, and in an instant, his blood and qi surged throughout his body. Without him being able to consciously guide it, it naturally rushed towards a certain acupoint in his lower abdomen.
The first attempt failed, and some of the Qi and blood were depleted, but soon, more Qi and blood were generated and gathered to launch a second attempt.
Then he failed again, and the cycle repeated itself until the fifth time. With a soft crack, Lin Qing could clearly feel that the acupoint had been opened.
