Undying Demonic Body Refining Technique!

"Draw."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained 3,000 Devil Dao Points from the draw."

Together with the 5,000 Devil Dao Points, he had earned 8,000 Devil Dao Points this time. But that was still too little; he couldn't afford divine arts, spirit treasures, or Divine Ability techniques.

Lin Ye looked at the youth and asked, "What's your name?"

"Chu He." The youth lowered his head and gave his name.

"Your surname is Chu? Are you a member of the imperial family?" Lin Ye was surprised.

"Not really. I'm just from a distant collateral branch. I don't get any special treatment, and my parents died when I was young, so I can hardly be considered a member of the imperial family anymore," Chu He explained.

Lin Ye didn't care about Chu He's identity. Even if Chu He really were a member of the imperial family, or even an enemy of the imperial family, he would still take him as a disciple.

"Why were you locked up deep in the heavenly prison? You're just an ordinary person, aren't you? Yet they assigned so many experts to guard you." Lin Ye was puzzled by this.

"Uh, Master, you don't know about my physique?" Chu He had assumed that Lin Ye had come to take him as a disciple because he had learned about his physique.

"Your physique? No, I don't know about it. I take disciples based only on fate, and I divined that you were well suited to be my disciple, so I came!"

"Oh, I see!"

Chu He didn't entirely believe him. Even though he had become his disciple, he knew nothing about this master of his and only wanted to escape the imperial family. After all, according to that traitor from the Supreme Simplicity Sect, the imperial family also had designs on his physique, and he would die in the end anyway. He would have been better off dying at her hands, but the imperial family had acted too quickly and seized the Supreme Simplicity Sect traitor in an instant.

But from what the person from the Supreme Simplicity Sect had told him, he had also learned why the imperial family had imprisoned him.

"Master, this disciple has a special physique. I seem to live a little longer than others, and when I'm injured, I recover a little faster," Chu He explained, without saying just how remarkable his physique was.

"Let me see." Lin Ye used his own True Qi to examine Chu He's body. He sensed that the cells in Chu He's body were full of vitality, and that his vitality was extremely strong, even more abundant than Lin Ye's own.

Lin Ye was a Grandmaster Realm martial artist who, barring any accidents, could live for three hundred years. Yet Chu He, an ordinary person, could also live for several hundred years. No wonder the imperial family had been tempted.

But within Chu He's vitality, there were also wisps of demonic nature, hidden very deeply. As a Devil Dao Grandmaster who had cultivated the Heavenly Devil Instruction, Lin Ye could sense them. This was a kind of Devil Dao physique.

Lin Ye then bought a physique detection talisman from the system shop. It wasn't expensive, costing only 300 Devil Dao Points. He needed to understand his sixth disciple's physique so he could choose a suitable Cultivation Method for him!

Hum.

A physique detection talisman appeared in his hand.

"Put a drop of blood on it," Lin Ye instructed.

"Yes, Master." Chu He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the physique detection talisman. It soon gave off a glow and turned into a stream of information that poured into Lin Ye's sea of consciousness, allowing him to learn about Chu He's physique.

"Longevity Demonic Physique!" Lin Ye didn't tell Chu He about the physique; it was enough for him to know. He then searched the system shop for a Cultivation Method suited to the Longevity Demonic Physique.

Undying Demonic Body Refining Technique, foundational portion: upper heaven-grade, suitable for those below the Grandmaster Realm, priced at 5,000 Devil Dao Points.

"So expensive!"

He had only earned 8,000 Devil Dao Points in total this time. If he spent 5,000 Devil Dao Points, he wouldn't have much left. With his other expenses this time, he was afraid he wouldn't make a profit at all. But he had gained another disciple, and when his disciple cultivated, he could also receive tenfold feedback. Once Chu He mastered the Undying Demonic Body Refining Technique, his own strength would increase enormously, and he could also master this Body Refining technique.

"Rest here. In a few days, I'll take you away."

"Yes, Master."

Chu He assented.

The imperial palace of the Chu Kingdom.

Eunuch Li came here and met the emperor of the Chu Kingdom, Chu Feng.

"Your Majesty, someone has rescued Chu He," Eunuch Li reported.

"Eunuch Li, you're a sixth-level Great Grandmaster martial artist. Who could rescue Chu He right under your nose? Are you telling me a top Great Grandmaster came?" Chu Feng was furious, but kept it hidden.

"Your Majesty, that person's strength is unknown. He came into the depths of the heavenly prison while invisible and also used a spatial treasure, instantly tearing through space to escape. I couldn't stop him in time."

"Invisibility and a spatial treasure." Chu Feng frowned. If that was really the case, Eunuch Li indeed couldn't have stopped him.

"Your Majesty, should we search the entire city?" Eunuch Li asked.

Chu Feng couldn't vent his anger on Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li was, after all, one of the imperial family's three Great Grandmasters, and even he had to show him respect. But things had come to this, and a search would be useless.

"Forget it. There wasn't much hope to begin with. Besides, an expert like that may already have escaped Bianjing. A search would be useless," Chu Feng sighed, abandoning that last shred of obsession.

"And that traitor from the Supreme Simplicity Sect..."

"Negotiate with the Supreme Simplicity Sect. Have them give the imperial family some compensation, then hand her over to them."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Li left.

Only after Eunuch Li left did Chu Feng dare to vent his anger.

The next day.

Lin Ye took his junior sister Yu Yu and his newly accepted disciple Chu He sightseeing through the streets of Bianjing. He had exchanged for a Formless Mask and given it to Chu He. It could change his appearance and presence, producing an effect similar to the Formless Demonic Body. But Chu He hadn't had time to cultivate the Formless Demonic Body, so he would use the Formless Mask for now to ensure his true identity wouldn't be discovered.

Yu Yu was curious about her senior brother suddenly taking a disciple, but she didn't mind. Her senior brother's way of taking disciples was strange anyway, so it was perfectly normal for him to take another in a strange way.

Five days later.

Lin Ye and Yu Yu had also seen all of Bianjing, and they prepared to return to the Black-Yellow Sect.

Outside Bianjing.

Lin Ye released the golden eagle Demon Beast from the beast-taming ring. Having been inside for several days, the golden eagle Demon Beast saw the light of day again and immediately cried out in complaint, "Master, don't make me stay in the beast-taming ring next time. It's so boring in there."

"Cut the nonsense. We're going back to the Black-Yellow Sect."

"Yes!"

Lin Ye picked Chu He up and stepped onto the golden eagle Demon Beast's back. His junior sister climbed on as well, and the golden eagle Demon Beast took flight, soaring through the sky and shooting toward the Black-Yellow Sect as a streak of golden light.

Before long, they reached the Black-Yellow Sect.

"So this is the sect where I'll be staying from now on. It doesn't seem very big!"

Filled with curiosity, Chu He followed his master Lin Ye into the Black-Yellow Sect and met his four senior brothers and sister.

"Greetings, eldest senior brother, third senior sister, fourth senior brother, fifth senior brother." Chu He greeted each of them in turn.

Han Bing smiled. "Hahaha, I'm finally not the youngest junior brother anymore! Sixth junior brother, let me tell you about our Black-Yellow Sect."

Chu He soon became acquainted with his senior brothers and sister. Seeing that they were all quite nice, he thought that his master probably wasn't a bad person either and probably wasn't scheming against him.

After a while, Lin Ye finished modifying the Undying Demonic Body Refining Technique. This Body Refining technique was different from the one before: once its practitioner reached the True Qi Realm, it would automatically produce Undying True Devil Qi. There was no need to cultivate any other Cultivation Method, and one could continue cultivating it all the way to the peak of Innate. Only upon reaching the peak of Innate would one need to exchange for the higher-level Undying Demonic Body Refining Technique, namely the upper portion. The upper portion was no longer an upper heaven-grade technique, but a divine-art-level Body Refining technique. It was extremely expensive, and he couldn't afford it now.

Soon, Chu He arrived.

"Master."

Chu He lowered his head, utterly respectful.

"I will pass a Cultivation Method on to you. Do not tell anyone else about it." Lin Ye gave Chu He the modified Undying Demonic Body Refining Technique, though its name had naturally changed.

Undying Body Refining Technique!

That was the new name, with the words "Demonic Body" removed.
