Ling Yi's biggest worry was that the Life Devouring effect would be discovered.
Today's adventure test is precisely to test this point.
Since others can't see these special effects, many things will be easier to handle.
Another point is that there is clearly no cooldown time for Life Devouring from humans.
With a thought, the bald man floated into Light Ball.
What does "no CD" mean? It means that if Ling Yi wanted to, he could instantly devour all of a person's life energy.
It's unclear whether this no-cooldown devouring effect works for everyone or only for a select few.
Will the level of cultivation affect the cooldown time?
There's no rush; we can test it gradually.
But for now, let's teach these guys a lesson first.
Ling Yi directly focused the area of Life Devouring on everyone in front of him.
The next second, seventeen green cesium Light Ball flew out from above these people's heads and then into Ling Yi's body.
Ling Yi couldn't help but shudder.
Compared to the life energy of wood and plants, the life energy of humans seems to be purer.
It has a better strengthening effect on the body.
The bald man's face grew even paler, and he swayed a few times, nearly falling over.
One dose is 10% of life energy; two doses are 1/5.
If life energy represents Qi and Blood, then the loss of one-fifth of Qi and Blood in an instant is already very serious.
Those in poor health would probably have fainted by now.
However, life energy is clearly not as simple as just Qi and Blood.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a significant strengthening effect on Ling Yi.
"You'll save it for me, right?" Ling Yi walked towards the bald man with a smile.
"Damn it, why didn't you provoke Laozi earlier or later? You had to wait until Laozi awakened my cheat ability before you started messing with Laozi."
"Then you can only blame your bad luck."
As they were talking, Ling Yi had already arrived in front of the bald man.
He kicked the bald man in the gut.
"Fuck you!"
The kick was incredibly powerful, sending the bald man flying several meters before he crashed into the wooden fence and came to a stop.
Having lost one-fifth of his life energy, the bald man was already in a semi-dazed state.
Ling Yi's physical attributes are at least three or four times that of an ordinary person, so how could the bald man withstand such a kick?
Before she could even scream, she fainted.
" Ling Yi, how dare you lay a hand on Brother Bao?"
"Smack!"
Ling Yi slapped the man across the face, knocking him to the ground.
" Brother Bao, right?"
"Smack!"
"You're going to keep it for me, right?"
"Smack!"
Are you isolating me?
"Clap clap clap!"
" Laozi it, everyone's cheating these days, you get it?"
Ling Yi slapped them all down with a single blow.
He clenched his fist and exclaimed, "Awesome!"
A few minutes later, seventeen people knelt in a row in front of Ling Yi.
Ling Yi crossed his legs and sized up the Human Dao, saying, "You were just about to collect my Spirit Stone?"
"Brother Ling, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Ling, from now on you're the boss of our compound, and we'll all listen to you."
"Brother, these are your Spirit Stone, they're all here."
Ling Yi took the Spirit Stone, clapped his hands, and said, "Actually, what you said earlier wasn't wrong."
"We're all from the same neighborhood, so helping each other out is only natural, right?"
Everyone nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, you're right."
"What if you all die someday? Wouldn't all your Spirit Stone be wasted?"
"If you're willing to help me store Spirit Stone, then I'll help you store Spirit Stone, is that alright?"
The seventeen of them looked at each other.
Ling Yi's meaning couldn't be clearer.
What to do?
What can we do? Just accept our fate!
That kid's attack was incredibly ruthless; one slap and I'm still dizzy and lightheaded!
The bald man was the first to extract the Spirit Stone.
He feels terrible right now; he's dizzy, nauseous, and feels like he's about to die.
I just want to get back to my dorm as soon as possible, take some Healing Pill, Health Regeneration!
Since the bald man had already given away his Spirit Stone, the others didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly took out their own Spirit Stone, handing them all over to Ling Yi.
"If anyone asks questions, you know what to say, right?" Ling Yi asked, hefting the Spirit Stone in his hand.
"We fell on our own, it has nothing to do with you, Brother Ling," one of them Human Dao.
"Do you think people are stupid? With that slap mark on your face, who would believe you if you said you fell?" Ling Yi kicked him to the ground.
"Then, what should we say?" the person asked in a low voice, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
"Just say you made a bet, and the loser gets slapped. As for how you bet and why, you can make it up yourselves, as long as it makes sense."
"Of course, you can also tell the deacon."
"The consequences, well, they won't be as simple as just getting slapped."
"Roll!"
The bald man and his men scattered like birds and beasts, each returning to their own rooms.
Ling Yi looked at the Spirit Stone in his hand.
"I didn't expect these people to be so wealthy; they actually have 37 Spirit Stone, enough to buy three Qi Gathering Pill."
"Hmm, I just don't know what the effect would be if the Spirit Stone was locked and Life Devouring!"
Ling Yi suddenly had a brilliant idea.
As it turns out, it had absolutely no effect whatsoever.
Spirit Stone are inanimate objects, and inanimate objects naturally lack life energy. The Life Devouring Entry have no effect on inanimate objects.
Just as Ling Yi was about to return to his dormitory to rest, the token at his waist emitted another beeping alarm.
Ling Yi immediately burst into a tirade of profanity!
"Damn it, who's crazy to come here to refine pills so late at night?"
"Could it be that lunatic Qin Yuran again?"
Ling Yi left the courtyard grumbling.
Practicing alchemy at night is something I only recently started.
Previously, alchemy was rarely practiced at night.
Pill Peak has Yang Gathering Formation, which can collect the scorching energy of the sun for alchemy.
It looks somewhat like a solar cell.
To be precise, it is a battery that only generates electricity and does not store it.
Therefore, there is basically no work in Pill Peak at night.
If you absolutely must refine pills at night, then you will need to consume earth stones.
The earth stone looks a bit like coal, well, no, it should be coal. Both its appearance and function are exactly the same as coal.
It's just coal that contains Spiritual Qi.
It burns for a longer time and at a higher temperature.
But these kinds of stones, I think, are quite expensive.
Under normal circumstances, sects would not waste earth stones to refine pills.
Unless there are special circumstances.
Either there's a problem on the front lines that requires a large amount of medicinal resources.
Either you're rich and don't care about wasting resources, or you're insane!
Ling Yi guessed it was the latter.
Recently, although some people have been practicing alchemy at night, it hasn't been frequent.
If the problem truly stemmed from a problem on the front lines, it's impossible that only one or two people were refining pills at night.
Therefore, it can only be the latter.
Having money and not caring about wasting resources? You're insane!
Alright, Qin Yuran meets all the requirements, so this woman is probably the one refining the pills right now.
I remember the chubby guy saying that Qin Yuran seems to be trying to become Second Pin alchemist recently.
"This lunatic, is she really that diligent? But it's only right, her Laozi could have pulled some strings, why go through all this trouble?"
"What motivates this crazy woman to be so driven?"
At Ling Yi's current speed, he arrived at the alchemy furnace room in less than a minute.
However, Ling Yi did not approach, but instead lay behind a Shitou and peeked.
Just then, a slender figure in red appeared, walking out of alchemy room number 36 and into alchemy room number 35, before closing the door behind her.
"It really was that woman."
The question now is, what to do?
Pill Peak has a total of 36 alchemy rooms, most of which are idle late at night. This woman didn't choose any other alchemy rooms, but specifically chose the two she was in charge of.
This is totally targeting me!
