Within half an hour, all two thousand Demon Person from Sihe Village had knelt down in front of Ling Yi and his companions, forming a circle around them.
Energy Points gained: over 60,000 points; current total energy: 63,081 points.
If used for the Lottery, it could Lottery, but Ling Yi doesn't plan to use it for Lottery this time. Instead, he intends to use these Energy Points to upgrade the system.
The first system upgrade only requires 5000 Energy Points. Upgrade!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Infinite Passive Charging System has been upgraded to version 2.0!]
[Ding, Recharge cooldown reduced to 5 seconds]
[Ding! The beginner Lottery has been upgraded to an intermediate Lottery. 1000 Energy Points can be used to purchase one intermediate Lottery attempt.]
Ling Yi stared at the data interface with an expression reminiscent of an elderly person on the subway looking at their phone.
The cooldown has been reduced to 5 seconds, and the charging efficiency has been greatly improved. Excellent!
The transition from a beginner-level Lottery to an intermediate-level Lottery is a good thing, but the increased cost of purchasing Lottery attempts is a bad thing.
The next system upgrade will require 10,000 Energy Points.
It's doubled!
Should I level up or not? Of course I'll level up! Ling Yi's favorite game is all-in!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Infinite Passive Charging System has been upgraded to version 3.0!]
[Ding! Recharge cooldown time reduced to 2 seconds!]
[Ding! Intermediate Lottery upgraded to advanced Lottery. 10,000 Energy Points can be used to purchase one advanced Lottery. Also, special note: The host can still purchase intermediate and basic Lottery!]
Ling Yi pursed his lips. "Your special explanation is unnecessary."
What, you think I didn't understand?
There are 48,081 Energy Points remaining, and the next upgrade will require 40,000 Energy Points.
Keep rising!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Infinite Passive Charging System has been upgraded to version 4.0!]
[Ding, the cooldown for each charge has been canceled, increasing the range of rechargeable energy. Please explore the details yourself.]
[Ding! Advanced Lottery upgraded to premium Lottery. 100,000 Energy Points can be used to purchase one premium Lottery!]
The system interface Changes largely unchanged; system notifications still occur every 10 seconds.
Didn't they remove the cooldown on charge? Why is it still 10 seconds?
The frequency of the notifications hasn't changed, but in reality, it's absorbing a large amount of Demonic Qi every second.
[Ding, rechargeable energy detected, Demonic Qi Demonic Qi increased by 210!]
Previously it was 10 seconds and 21 points, but now it's 10 seconds and 210 points—a tenfold difference, perfect.
If the Demon Devouring Art is activated again, the efficiency will increase tenfold: 2100 points in 10 seconds, and 12600 points in one minute.
Moreover, Ling Yi discovered that the charging range had increased from a radius of 2 meters to 200 meters.
In just a short Kung Fu Hustle, the tacit understanding between Ling Yi and his group was completely absorbed by the system.
Within a 200-meter radius, the Demonic Qi was completely absorbed by Ling Yi.
Moreover, the Changes in version 4.0 are not limited to this.
"Damn it, how the hell did you do that?" Ye Chen was dumbfounded. Ling Yi was just too awesome!
Ling Yi looked at Ye Chen: "Let's make a deal!"
"Can I refuse?" Ye Chen knew that Ling Yi wanted his cultivation technique, but Ye Chen really didn't want to teach his cultivation technique to others casually.
This was passed down from their Ye Clan ancestor. Although the ancestor never said that the method should not be passed on to outsiders, they still felt it was wrong to give the cultivation method to others!
" Ling Yi, this cultivation technique is a legacy of my Ye Clan..."
Ling Yi interrupted him directly, "I have a treasure that can convert Demonic Qi within a 10-meter radius into Spiritual Qi."
"You can inspect the goods first before deciding whether to complete the transaction!"
As Ling Yi spoke, a small compass, about the size of a button, appeared out of thin air in his hand, with Yin and Yang symbols and Eight Trigrams markings on it.
Then he threw it to Ye Chen.
How do I use it?
"Just rotate the Yin and Yang symbol in the middle!"
With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Ye Chen ran to a distance and activated the converter.
Because Ling Yi had absorbed all the Demonic Qi in the vicinity, Ye Chen could only test it from a distance.
As the converter was activated, the black mist within a ten-meter diameter radius around Ye Chen visibly transformed into white mist.
Ye Chen was overjoyed, and then he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen opened his eyes in a daze. He was happily absorbing Qi Cultivation when suddenly the Spiritual Qi disappeared.
Looking around, they realized that it wasn't the Spiritual Qi that had disappeared, but rather the surrounding Demonic Qi. Without Demonic Qi, what was the point of the converter?
Ling Yi stood opposite Ye Chen, smiling as he looked at him.
Before Ye Chen could react, a red, semi-transparent rope swept over, snatching the converter from his hand and returning it to Ling Yi's.
Ye Chen smiled when he saw Ling Yi's smile.
But their smiles were completely different.
Ling Yi's smile was sly, while Ye Chen's was a completely wry smile.
He knew he was being manipulated by Ling Yi, and he was also very clear that Ling Yi was determined to get his hands on the converter.
No matter the cost.
With this converter, for Ye Chen, there was no difference between the revival of Demonic Qi and the revival of Spiritual Qi.
He can quickly improve his strength in a short period of time.
Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul... Longevity.
"Tell me, what do you want to trade?"
"Your cultivation techniques and inheritance!" After a pause, Ling Yi added, "All of them!"
"No, you can't cultivate with it anyway, why don't you get another one?"
Ling Yi turned and left.
"How about I repay you with my body?" Ye Chen shouted.
"Roll!"
"Alright, I agree. However, I can only recite the cultivation techniques and spells to you, and only once. How much you can learn depends on your ability. This is my biggest concession."
"Can!"
Then, Ye Chen saw Ling Yi take out his phone and say to him, "Let's begin!"
"Canal!"
An hour later, Ye Chen finally got the converter.
Although the process was a bit unpleasant, Ye Chen felt that this deal was a win-win situation for him no matter how you looked at it.
Ling Yi follows the path of Magic Cultivation and is completely incapable of practicing immortal cultivation techniques.
Or rather, the entire world follows the path of Magic Cultivation, and cannot follow the path of immortal cultivation.
With the converter, he will become the only cultivator in the world.
However, Ye Chen overlooked one thing: Ling Yi was cheating.
Ye Chen felt he had made a profit, but Ling Yi felt that he was the one who had made the biggest profit.
Yes, a win-win situation!

The system really knows how to save time; it just put all the cultivation techniques into a skill list.
But this doesn't prevent Ling Yi from using it.
However, just like demonic cultivation techniques, skill-based techniques do not use Demonic Yuan or True Yuan when used, but rather energy.
Hehehe, I cultivate immortality with my left hand and demonic arts with my right, so tell me, who else can compare?
"Where's Xiao Li?" Ye Chen asked.
Ling Yi pointed to the orchard behind Sihe Village: "They're practicing demonic cultivation techniques."
" Ling Yi, tell me, did you open it?"
"Open what? You think this is like reading an online novel? You know I'm only a tiny bit smart."
Ye Chen pursed his lips; he really couldn't refute that.
Ling Yi never studied at school, and never even took notes or did homework, yet he was always ranked first in the entire school every year.
Moreover, most of the time, he gets full marks and is number one. Even in the Chinese composition section, which is the easiest to lose points on, he rarely loses points.
Throughout his three years of high school, he represented Dafeng City No. 1 Middle School in municipal, provincial, national, and World Grade Olympiad competitions.
And they were all Champion.
He's definitely Fengyun at school and also quite well-known online.
Ling Yi's One Eye account, damn it, has never posted a single post or video, to put it simply, it has never been managed, yet it has over six million followers.
The official account with One Eye even proactively gave Ling Yi a verified account.
There's no way around it; I've seen Grand Slams, but seven or eight World Grade Olympiad Grand Slams are extremely rare.
The key point is, Ling Yi is also damn handsome.
Who can I complain to about this?!
"Don't tell me you developed this converter yourself!"
"I read a wide variety of books, including quite a few Daoist texts. Besides, whether it's Demonic Qi or Spiritual Qi, they're both just types of energy. And all energy, when traced back to its origins, is simply the movement of particles..."
"Alright, stop it. You mean you didn't use cheats, but you are the cheater, right?"
"Perfect comprehension."
Do I need your praise?
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the orchard, and a crimson light shot into the sky.
It actually managed to disperse the Demonic Qi in the fruit Lin Zhong.
The next moment, Ling Li Li's eyes turned bloodshot as she charged towards Ling Yi and the others, reaching them in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a howl, it pounced on Ye Chen.
Lightning Release: Dodge!
Ye Chen almost instinctively used Lightning Release, his body transforming into a bolt of Thunder, disappearing from the spot and reappearing a hundred meters away the next moment.
"Absorbing too much Demonic Qi has slowed down the conversion of Demonic Yuan. Sure enough, Demonic Qi does affect the mind." Ling Yi murmured, stroking his chin as he watched Ling Li charge towards Ye Chen again.
"Moreover, it seems to have a devouring instinct towards cultivators. Why is that?"
" Ling Yi, help!" A flash of lightning appeared, Ye Chen appeared behind Ling Yi, then knelt down!
It wasn't that he wanted to kneel, but the little bit of True Yuan he had just recovered was completely depleted after a few uses of Lightning Release. Right now, he had absolutely no True Yuan left in his body.
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap at Ling Li, who was rushing towards him.
[Ding! Devouring Demon energy, energy increased by 220 points!]
