Ling Yi met Ye Chen. Ling Yi: without Spiritual Qi, why insist on cultivating immortality?

Around 11 p. m., the reinforcement work in the entire Dafeng City was finally completed.

Dafeng City has completed a transformation; to be precise, the entire Ancient Country has completed its first transformation after the resurgence of Demonic Qi.

Following this, the official news released another announcement, revealing Map of the entire Ancient Country Demon Person's branch locations.

He also called on all enhanced individuals to take the initiative to encircle and annihilate the Demon Person.

There are rewards for killing Demon Person. You will receive 10,000 yuan for each Demon Person you kill, and the more demons you kill, the more you will receive.

Note that here, the official terminology has begun to be standardized.

The terms "Demonic Qi revival" and "Demon Person" were used, as proposed by Ling Yi.

Both of these terms originated from the Second Uncle's mouth. The authorities probably felt that the terms "Demonic Qi revival" and "Demon Person" were more accurate than "black mist" and "Mutant," so they adopted them directly.

This shows that the higher-ups were paying close attention to and valuing every move and word of the second uncle.

As for the Demon Person distribution map, it has been made into a dedicated app, which can be used directly after downloading the app on your mobile phone.

Just as Ling Yi guessed, the place with the most Demon Person is not the city, but the towns and villages near the mountains and forests.

And some mountain towns.

According to the app, the total number of Demon Person has exceeded 200 million.

Thanks to Dafeng City's timely response, the massacre of a large number of Demon Person by Second Uncle's family last night, and the official crackdown, the Demon Person in Dafeng City have now been cleared out.

As for the Demon Person within Red Maple Mountain, they will likely be eliminated by the authorities after tonight. It can be said that Dafeng City is now completely safe.

After issuing multiple announcements, the official team also released more than ten videos.

These videos all depict Combat between official soldiers and Demon Person.

The Combat scenes are incredibly exciting, comparable to a blockbuster movie.

The main points demonstrated were threefold: First, ordinary Firearms bullets are ineffective against the Demon Person; unless it's a precise headshot, the Demon Person is almost impossible to kill with ordinary Firearms.

Compared to firearms, cold weapons are actually more efficient.

Secondly, the soldiers of the Ancient Country have all undergone nine enhancements by Demonic Qi, making them incredibly Combat and capable of killing Demon Person as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

The third aspect is the newly developed weapons by the government.

Ordinary firearms are ineffective against Demon Person, but the new weapons developed by the authorities, or more precisely, the new bullets, have an extremely terrifying killing power against Demon Person.

When these bullets hit the Demon Person, they burst into a strong purple light.

Once the purple light appears, the Demon Person's strength, speed, and defense will decrease significantly.

Then he was easily killed.

At the end of the video, the official statement specifically emphasized that this type of bullet is effective not only against Demon Person but also against enhanced individuals.

The main purpose of these videos is not to showcase the strength of official soldiers, but to warn or caution those with ulterior motives to obey orders.

"Bro, what do you think the official bullets are made of? They sound really impressive."

At the entrance of the No. 1 Middle School, Ling Yi and Ling Li Leap over the gate and headed towards the senior dormitory.

"It should be ultraviolet light, right? Ultraviolet light has a suppressive effect on Demonic Qi. Whether it's Demon Person or an enhanced human, they all become stronger because of Demonic Qi. Suppressing Demonic Qi is equivalent to the power of Demon Person," Ling Yi guessed.

As for whether it was true or not, Ling Yi didn't know, but it was pretty close.

I have to marvel once again at the speed of the Ancient Country. It's only been a little over two days, and the authorities have already managed to produce bullets to deal with the Demon Person. Impressive.

However, while these bullets might work against Demon Person, they're probably not very effective against enhanced humans.

Unlike Demon Person, Demon Person rely entirely on Demonic Qi and Demonic Yuan, enhanced humans use Demonic Qi to improve their physical attributes, but do not retain any Demonic Qi within their bodies.

Therefore, these ultraviolet bullets should be ineffective against enhanced humans.

In dormitory 326, Ye Chen looked at Ling Li and Ling Yi speechlessly.

" Xiao Li, didn't you promise to keep this a secret?"

"When did I promise you it would be a secret? I only said I wouldn't tell outsiders. Is my brother an outsider?"

Ye Chen glanced at Ling Yi, about to say something, when Ling Yi handed him a card.

This is precisely to reinforce the proof.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up. With this thing, it meant that he was now an enhanced human, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Keep in mind that he has never used a modified vehicle, and there is no record of him being modified on the official website.

If anything unusual is observed, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Now, with this enhanced proof, things are much more convenient.

"Really?" Ye Chen asked, fiddling with the enhancement certificate.

"Really!" Ling Yi looked Ye Chen up and down, but a system notification popped up in his mind.

[Ding, rechargeable energy detected: Lightning-Element True Yuan. Recharge?]

Ling Yi chose no!

His expression was quite amused. This Ye Chen really is a cultivator, and he even Lightning-Element True Yuan?

He glanced around the dormitory again and quickly spotted the disconnected power strip on the bed.

A guess immediately formed in my mind.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"You can cultivate immortality by charging up?" Ling Yi asked bluntly.

"Uh..." Ye Chen was dumbfounded. Wait, are you going to expose my past right off the bat?

Also, how did you figure out I was cultivating immortality? And how did you figure out I was cultivating immortality by recharging?

"Or is it that without Spiritual Qi, you can only cultivate immortality by charging up energy, cultivating electric-based, hmm, it should be lightning-based magic?"

"Wow, Brother Ling, you've got Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils now?"

Ling Yi pointed to the power strip on the bed. "Isn't it obvious?"

"I..."

Ye Chen wanted to deny his identity as a cultivator, but seeing Ling Yi's mocking gaze, he shrugged and said, "Yeah, I cultivate, but I feel so weak!"

Ling Yi patted him on the shoulder. " Demonic Qi is reviving. What are you doing cultivating immortality? There's no future in cultivating immortality."

"Wouldn't it be better if he cultivated demonic arts with us?"

"I cultivate immortality, why would I cultivate demonic arts?"

"This world has no Spiritual Qi, so cultivating immortality will be extremely difficult for you."

"But what can I do? I'm a cultivator!" Ye Chen seemed to be stuck in a rut, not understanding Ling Yi's meaning, so he could only say in frustration.

"No, you cultivate demonic arts, who says you have to cultivate immortality?"

"Uh-huh?"

"You need to recharge to cultivate immortality, right? But what if you run out of power one day? Besides, cultivating immortality while recharging is very inefficient, isn't it? I bet you can't even handle a single Demon Person right now!"

Ling Yi sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and looked at Ye Chen.

"Who said that? I can handle at least two, um, three Demon Person right now."

"So what?"

"So, I feel so weak!"

"That's right, Demonic Qi Demonic Qi is resurging now, it's everywhere. Why aren't you cultivating Magic Cultivation? What are you thinking?"

"Oh my god!"

"You don't actually think that cultivating demonic arts makes you a demon, do you?"

Ye Chen nodded; he did indeed have this concern.

"Tch, cultivating demonic arts and cultivating immortality are just different Body Refining. Justice and evil are determined by people, not Body Refining!"

Is there really no problem with Demonic Qi?

How could there not be? Otherwise, where would the Demon Person have come from?

Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with the Demonic Qi.

However, as long as a solution is found, the side effects can be mitigated, such as the nine-times enhancement rule.

Next, after drawing Demonic Qi into the body and Refinement it into Demonic Yuan —Demonic Qi that is, after officially activating the Magic Cultivation technique—various problems may still arise.

For example, could Demonic Qi affect one's temperament? Could it trigger negative emotions and lead people to their darker side?

The word "demon" alone reveals a great deal.

Ling Yi was unaffected because all the Magic Cultivation techniques Hua Wei skills and the Demonic Qi was Hua Wei Energy Points, but that doesn't mean it's unaffected if no one cultivates Magic Cultivation techniques.

Everything can only be known after testing.

However, Ling Yi's words plunged Ye Chen into deep self-doubt.

Yes, Demonic Qi is clearly reviving, so why insist on cultivating immortality?

Yes, he possesses a nearly complete lineage of cultivation techniques, but what use is that? He can only cultivate lightning-based techniques and spells; he can't cultivate other techniques or use other spells.

Since it can't be repaired or used, no matter how impressive the heritage is, it's just for show.

Where did you get your cultivation techniques from?

"This!" Ye Chen could admit that he was a cultivator, but he did not want to reveal the origin of his lineage.

"Then let me rephrase my question: Did you inherit your cultivation technique from a certain senior?"

"Why do we have to be sure about this?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

"Because I want to know, were there ever cultivators in this world?"

"I can tell you for sure, yes!" Ye Chen said.

"Since there is a lineage of cultivation, then there was once a civilization of cultivation. However, this civilization disappeared due to the loss of Spiritual Qi, and now Demonic Qi is reviving!"

"There must be some connection between these two, or rather, one is the cause and the other is the effect."

"You mean, the Spiritual Qi disappeared, which is why the Demonic Qi revived, or in other words, because the Spiritual Qi disappeared, the Demonic Qi was no longer suppressed, which is why the Demonic Qi revived?"

Ling Yi gave Ye Chen a thumbs up. "Smart!"

"So that means there's still a problem with the Demonic Qi?"

Ling Yi rolled his eyes. "Who told you that Demonic Qi is necessarily problematic? Perhaps we can understand it as Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi being two opposing civilizations."

Ye Chen fell into deep thought!

Ling Yi then said, "I heard from Xiao Li that you are the Tang Sanzang in the eyes of the Demon Person?"

"Yes, I was indeed chased by a large number of Demon Person last night. If Xiao Li hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have been torn to pieces by Demon Person."

"See, this is the problem."

"Later, in the eyes of the Demon Person, you are an unparalleled delicacy. Extending this further, could it be understood that Magic Cultivation cultivators?"

"And it is precisely for this reason that demon cultivators and immortal cultivators are at odds with each other, locked in a life-or-death struggle?"

"This will lead to a war between the two cultivation civilizations. At some point, the cultivators will overpower the demon cultivators, suppress them, and seal their Demonic Qi?"

"And now, with Spiritual Qi depleted, Demonic Qi is resurging?"

"Of course, these are all just my guesses," Ling Yi said, waving his hand as he saw the two people staring in disbelief.

Xiao Li and Ye Chen looked at Ling Yi, thinking to themselves, "Is this just a guess? Why does it feel like what Ling Yi said is the truth?"

" Ye Chen, I need your cultivation technique, even a beginner one will do."

"Um, why?"

"Borrow it, then modify it into a demonic cultivation technique."
