Li Xiaoya immersed his mind in the cultivation method and gradually came to feel its tyrannical nature. It could actually consume a cultivator's lifespan by force to forcibly raise their cultivation. Yet it was clearly incomplete, with its crucial passages left vague. Even its first stage, however, could give a cultivator a tremendous boost. No wonder the Wood Family Three Treasures had been so tempted.
Li Xiaoya's present knowledge and cultivation were far beyond those of Golden Core Stage Cultivators like the Wood Family Three Treasures, so he naturally spotted the hidden catch. Although this method could consume lifespan to rapidly increase cultivation, without the next stage, that cultivation would eventually regress. In the end, it could even exhaust the practitioner's lifespan and kill them. It was a truly vicious method, and naturally, the Jade Slip contained none of that next stage. By Li Xiaoya's reckoning, this was unquestionably a blood sacrifice cultivation method-and no ordinary one, either.
Since the Wood Family Three Treasures had not cultivated the next stage, their lifespan and cultivation had naturally begun to drain away. Without the next stage's blood sacrifice method, they had panicked and come to Li Xiaoya for help. Their supposed bloodlust and murderous urges merely stemmed from the method's fundamental nature. Judging by his own experience with the Devastation Devil Lord's Overlord Art back then, their bloodlust and murderous urges were simply the consequences of flooding their bodies with too much demonic qi while cultivating. After all, demonic qi was nothing like spiritual qi. Its violent power could affect a cultivator's state of mind at any moment. Even demonic cultivators in the Human Realm dared not casually practice methods that poured pure demonic qi into their bodies. They only absorbed small amounts while cultivating, then drew in spiritual qi to neutralize
