Targeting oneself?
"Damn it, I'm just a Xiaoxiao handyman disciple!" Ling Yi was extremely frustrated.
I've been doing menial jobs for ten years and nobody cares, and now the system's just been activated—can I really be that unlucky?
Could this broken system have some hidden additional status effect?
For example, being plagued by bad luck.
"Hmm, that's not right!" Ling Yi frowned.
"Even if this woman is neurotic, there's no need for her to target a menial disciple so deliberately."
"It must be because I should have died that time but didn't, that piqued this woman's curiosity!"
"If that's really the case, then we're in trouble!" Ling Yi scratched his head.
Ling Yi now has two choices: one is to bite the bullet and go up to clean the alchemy furnace.
Another option is to simply leave and ignore it, then clean up the mess later when Qin Yuran leaves.
Go straight to it?
Qin Yuran makes another move, he will be in real danger.
It's not a matter of life or death, but rather that my secrets might be exposed because of this.
The first time Ling Yi was fully Resurrection, Qin Yuran probably just thought that Ling Yi was lucky and had obtained a high-level Healing Pill.
What about a second and third full-health Resurrection?
A pill that can restore a ruptured internal organ to its original state within a few Shichen is definitely not something a Xiaoxiao servant disciple could afford.
If you can't afford it, then there's a secret!
Perhaps Qin Yuran just curious right now and hasn't thought about it too deeply yet.
But if I were to Resurrection myself with full health again, it would be really hard to explain.
To kill them outright?
Then what!
Wanted by the entire Heavenly Mysterious Sect?
Therefore, we must go!
If they leave, they'll at most be punished by the steward.
They got a beating or a scolding.
It might not even be anything at all.
Since there are plenty of free time available at night, Ling Yi only needs to clean it up before sunrise the next morning so as not to delay its use the following day.
The butler is just an ordinary person with some connections; he also needs to sleep at night.
As long as the steward doesn't find out, everything will be fine.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left, heading straight for the back mountain.
The back mountain of Pill Peak is mainly divided into three parts: the Forest Valley, the Pill Grave, and the Beast Gorge!
Forest Valley is the mountain valley where Ling Yi opened the entry during the day.
The forest is abundant and dense, with many old trees, but there are few birds and animals in the valley because the Forest Valley is closest to Pill Peak.
Birds and beasts, Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune, will not casually approach crowded places.
To the left and slightly ahead of Forest Valley is Pill Grave.
The so-called "Pill Grave " is a place where waste pills are thrown away, which is also where the chubby Cheng Little Tiger works.
Beast Gorge is located to the right front of Forest Valley, and is the furthest and largest in area.
Beast Gorge is not a single gorge, but rather a complex network of gorges that converge together.
The terrain is complex, with many birds, beasts, insects and fish, and it is said that there are even some low-level Spirit Beast Demonic Beast.
This Beast Gorge is generally used as a training ground for outer disciples.
That's why the existence of a large number of Beast, even low-level Demonic Beast or Spirit Beast, is allowed.
This Beast Gorge is perfect as a training ground for outer sect disciples!
But for the menial disciples, this place is Deadlands and dangerous place.
Basically, no handyman disciples would be so bored as to go to the Beast Gorge.
"Of course, except for those of us who are cheating!" Ling Yi was currently running wildly through the mountains and forests with the cheat codes activated.
Our destination was Beast Gorge.
Every now and then, green Light Ball, like fireflies, would fly out from somewhere and merge into Ling Yi's body.
The life energy of the wood has a ten-second cooldown before it can be absorbed, and it appears as a green cesium ribbon.
Therefore, this life energy does not come from the wood, but from other organisms in the forest.
Ling Yi guessed it was probably ants or other small insects.
Ling Yi hadn't originally planned to go to Beast Gorge.
But it was precisely because he devoured the life energy of ants, insects, and other creatures that Ling Yi discovered that the life energy of these creatures was also incredibly pure.
Similar to the life energy absorbed from the bald guy and his group, its strengthening effect is several times that of plants like the calamus.
Ling Yi urgently needs to become stronger; only by becoming stronger can he have confidence.
However, one should not indiscriminately devour the life energy of others.
But Beast and the like don't attract as much attention.
It took Ling Yi almost an hour to finally arrive at Beast Gorge.
However, at this moment, Ling Yi hesitated again.
The moon was only a crescent, the night was dark, and the light was dim.
The entrances to the canyons before us were pitch black, like the mouths of giant beasts waiting for their prey.
Ling Yi is afraid of the dark, especially dark, secluded corners and bottomless pits.
Of course, I'm also afraid of getting lost.
"Never mind, let's take a stroll around the outskirts first."
Ling Yi drove around the outer perimeter of Beast Gorge, using the entry as a guide.
The outer perimeter of Beast Gorge resembles an outward-facing trumpet, with Rift Daodao along its surface.
Every crack is a canyon.
The canyons vary in length and depth.
Yes, at its deepest point, it's a dead end.
Some are intertwined with other canyons, winding back and forth, left and right, just like a spider web.
No, even spider webs have some pattern, but the canyons within Beast Gorge have absolutely no pattern whatsoever.
Without someone familiar with the area to guide you, it's easy to get lost.
Ling Yi wandered around the outer perimeter of the Beast Gorge but gained almost nothing.
Beast are rarely seen in the surrounding area, let alone Spirit Beast and Demonic Beast.
What should we do? Should we just go back like this?
Wouldn't that mean we've made a wasted trip today?
Just then, a fist-sized green cesium Light Ball flew out from a clump of grass.
It pierced directly into Ling Yi's body.
This energy is extremely pure and immense.
This is the most effective enhancement effect among all the life energy Ling Yi has received so far.
"Waaaah!"
A soft whimpering sound came from the bushes, like the low sobbing of a baby.
Ling Yi immediately became alert.
The scope of the Devouring Entry was directly locked onto that patch of grass.
The next moment, another fist-sized green cesium Light Ball flew out.
"Could there be Demonic Beast in here?" Ling Yi wondered, hiding behind a tree.
I carefully watched the direction of the grass.
However, this patch of grass was extremely dense, and with the darkness of night, nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
"Whatever it is, do it a few more times, and we'll cripple him completely."
With that in mind, Ling Yi prepared to continue absorbing the target's life energy.
Just then, a childish little girl's voice rang in Ling Yi's mind.
"Big brother, please let me go!"
"Huh?" Ling Yi was startled.
What is that? Is it that thing from the grassland?
Damn, anything capable of communicating with humans must be at least Second Tier Demonic Beast or Spirit Beast!
Only Second Tier Demonic Beast can communicate with humans through telepathy.
Some special species of Demonic Beast and Spirit Beast can even speak.
Second Tier Demonic Beast is equivalent to Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator in the human realm.
Foundation Establishment Stage!
At most, Ling Yi can only fight against cultivators at the Qi Refining, Third Level.
Once you reach the Qi Refining, Fourth Level, you can use the Sword Control Technique, which allows you to fly and attack from a distance.
Ling Yi naturally had no chance.
Of course, if Ling Yi uses cheats, that's a different story.
Let them go? Letting them go is absolutely out of the question!
Regardless of what it is, Ling Yi would never put himself in danger.
Compassion is the cheapest and most worthless thing in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
What's more, this thing already knows the secret that it can devour the lives of others.
They absolutely cannot be kept.
With a thought, Ling Yi sent two more green Light Ball flying out from the grass.
At this moment, Ling Yi could clearly feel that his body had become much stronger.
If Ling Yi's previous zodiac sign was 4, then his current zodiac sign is at least 6 or higher.
"Damn humans, you all deserve to die." A shrill voice echoed in Ling Yi's mind.
Immediately afterward, a two-tailed fox with pure white fur staggered out of the bushes.
