Chapter 7: The Wrong Bet

  Chapter 7: Off the Charts

  "They found me, but what can I do? I couldn't get too far away, or that thought would forcibly control my consciousness. Within 20 to 30 meters, I didn't have the ability to hide my figure, and not being discovered was like seeing a ghost!"

  The people in front of them were laughing and joking with each other, occasionally turning their heads to take a glance. Guo Zhengyang also noticed it, but he only had a bitter smile in his heart.

  He was desperate, with his many years of fighting and killing experience, he had once secretly tracked a demon beast for three days without being detected, and then suddenly appeared when the opponent was most relaxed, one hit kill.

  His tracking skills were pretty good too.

  How could it have fallen to the point where even following two ordinary weak women was discovered?

  But can you blame him? As soon as he has a tendency to leave, his thoughts become compulsively suppressed, leaving Guo Zhengyang with nothing but a bitter smile and no way out.

  "It can't go on like this, if she goes home, am I supposed to stand outside her door forever? Kill? How can I kill." After a bitter smile, Guo Zhengyang became worried again.

  He is temporarily fine now, but indeed cannot keep going like this.

  He thought about it and realized that he could only wait until they were in a less crowded area, then forcefully suppress the urge to leave again. In crowded areas, such urges would be too conspicuous and might attract attention, and he was afraid that some kind-hearted person might help him out and send him to the hospital, which would definitely alarm his parents.

  At this moment, his thigh had already been pinched by himself into a bloody mess, and it was stuck to the thermal underwear. If it weren't for the thick denim jeans outside the thermal underwear, the bloodstains would have probably shown through already.

  So in places with fewer people, he can fight back at ease.

  "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

  At the same time, in Guo Zhengyang's mind, those endless and continuous temptations were still rampant, and with these temptations, his body once again showed an excited trend.

  The excited impulse made Guo Zhengyang's body tremble slightly, but this appearance fell into the eyes of the two figures in front of him, and brought up a low laugh.

  "Look, he's so nervous, must be thinking about when to come over and hit on you. You're such a tease, can't help but charm all the good-looking ones away."

  "Go die, don't talk nonsense."

  ……

  Hehe, two figures giggled and played, although they also knew that a stranger, Guo Zhengyang, was following behind them. However, the two didn't have much to worry about, as they had grown up in this area since childhood, and their homes were just ahead, not far away. Although the county town was developing rapidly, they could occasionally see familiar neighbors when they looked up, so there was no need to be too worried. Moreover, even though it was already past 8 pm, the streetlights on both sides illuminated the streets, and the bustling downtown area had many cars and people flowing through it, making it hard for anyone to feel panicked or scared.

  But just as the two were laughing, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed with a splat on the muddy road in front of Qianying, who let out a sharp cry and hastily retreated. The person beside her was also startled and took two steps back before they both looked down at the ground, where they saw a small, palm-sized black object rolling around in the mud.

  "Who is it that's throwing things around and hitting people?" After a glance, another figure suddenly looked up, angrily looking left and right.

  Yang Lulu then squatted down amidst her companion's angry rebuke, picked up the small bottle, and a hint of fear and anger flashed in her eyes. This thing felt heavy in her hand, like an iron lump. If it had really hit her earlier...

  However, in her anger, Yang Lulu suddenly stopped and stretched out her hand to wipe the mud off the small bottle. Her eyes also showed a hint of excitement, "Wow, this little bottle is so beautiful."

  The bottle was a deep, mysterious black, like a black pearl, and it emitted a captivating glow under the light. Moreover, there seemed to be many strange patterns on its surface, which made it even more beautiful and charming.

  Its shape is also exquisite and elegant, just like a carefully polished work of art.

  Although I don't know what material it is, holding it in my palm gives me a warm feeling. On a cold day, when the snow is melting, holding it in my hand makes my heart feel even warmer and more comfortable.

  "Hmph!"

  At the same time, the female companion by her side was also attracted to this tender cry. Meanwhile, Guo Zhengyang quickly stepped forward from behind and stood beside Yang Lulu, looking down at the small bottle with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

  Spiritual energy fluctuation!

  There is a spiritual aura fluctuation on this small bottle, and the fluctuation is much denser than the spiritual aura of the surrounding environment.

  Moreover, after taking a glance, Guo Zhengyang quickly recognized that this was an alchemist's medicine bottle used to hold dan medicines, because he had already smelled the fragrance of the medicine.

  How did this happen?

  Yang Lulu was walking on the road when a monk's medicine bottle suddenly fell from the sky, and there were actually elixirs inside?

  This thing can't just appear out of thin air, is there a master up in the sky fighting? Guo Zhengyang quickly looked up at the sky again, but it was pitch black above, after all, the streetlights on either side couldn't illuminate the endless night sky.

  Unable to see anything, Guo Zhengyang's eyes showed a hint of doubt again.

  Just now there were monks fighting in mid-air?

  But even if someone was killed, this kind of medicine bottle for holding dan medicine would generally be stored in a storage ring, how could it fall off by itself? Was it that during the fight, someone's storage ring was smashed and the things inside spilled out?

  "Come on! Come over here!"

  Just as he was pondering, that strange idea in his heart fluctuated again, and this time, although the idea was not forcing him to do anything, it was still just conveying temptation. The frequency and ability of the temptation suddenly soared, making Guo Zhengyang's emotions, which had just been suppressed, suddenly excited and restless, even his body trembled slightly, almost bursting out in anger.

  The temptation of thought has changed from killing at first to robbing!

  This also left Guo Zhengyang stunned, previously the intention of hypnotic suggestion and forced persuasion had all been conveyed to the destination, killing her would have benefits, but now it's robbery?

  He indeed saw that Yang Lulu picked up a bottle of elixir on the road, which was extremely precious. In his previous life, Guo Zhengyang cultivated to the realm of True Man and had limited access to such elixirs.

  But this medicinal fragrance gave him a sense of familiarity, and after a moment's thought, Guo Zhengyang was greatly delighted. "It's Feng Hua Dan, a pill that can enhance the cultivation of Gathering Spirit period cultivators. One Feng Hua Dan is enough to rival several months of hard work by a cultivator, and this is still within the Spiritual Realm's efficiency. If I swallow it now, who knows, one pill might just bring me to the early peak stage." What a great benefit, this is truly a great benefit.

  If he just practiced normally, with the current spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Guo Zhengyang was clear that it would take him three or four years to reach the early peak, but if he had a treasure like Fenghuadan, his efficiency would be astonishingly fast.

  This got him so excited himself.

  The elixir is indeed precious, it's not that the spiritual realm doesn't have the various spiritual herbs needed for the elixir, but rather it's difficult to refine the elixir. If you're from a large sect, then there's no need to worry about this, but if you're a lone cultivator, where can you go to learn the art of refining elixirs?

  Without alchemy, one can only buy, but the elixirs that individual cultivators can purchase are mostly inferior goods. The effect is not great, and the price is frighteningly expensive. In his previous life, Guo Zhengyang risked his life to hunt down a few demon beasts, and after struggling back with injuries all over his body, he could only buy some very ordinary elixirs at most.

  Practicing Taoist meditation is just suffering.

  Of course, if you have the ability to kill people and rob them, you might be able to make a small fortune, but most of those who can be killed by an ordinary loose cultivator are not rich. The Wind Flower Pill, which is a kind of elixir that enhances one's power, he had only bought once in his previous life, and it had pained him for a long time, so the memory was still vivid. As soon as he smelled that fragrance, he recognized it.

  The woman in front of him actually picked up a bottle? Kill her and take it away?

  "Huh, you..."

  Just as Guo Zhengyang's heart was racing with excitement, Yang Lulu, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly looked up and stared at Guo Zhengyang in shock.

  Guo Zhengyang was shocked again, hastily shifting his gaze away from the other person's face and turning to leave.

  I got excited and rushed over as soon as I sensed a surge of spiritual energy, seems like I startled the other party.

  As he walked, he couldn't help but smile wryly, for his heart was almost overflowing with emotions.

  Moreover, he clearly realized that he was no longer just being tempted by his thoughts to take action, but was actually being stirred up by that bottle of Wind Flower Elixir. Murder might not be possible, but what about stealing the treasure? Robbery? It's too easy!

  But he didn't want his parents to see him become a robber either! Robbing on the street...

  "Hehe, his face turned red...... It's so funny, such a handsome guy, and he still blushes. LuLu, you're really charming."

  "Get out! You say I'm against you again? Pfft!"

  …………

  Kuang Zhengyang walked away with a slight tremble in his body as he moved, but behind him, a faint smile spread across his face.

  Laughter also made Guo Zhengyang feel helpless, they obviously misunderstood and were way off.
