Riotroar Scorching Ghost, who was originally very arrogant, immediately became disheartened when he heard the roar of the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast.

  The Blood Lion Beast leapt into the air, transforming into a purple light that shot rapidly towards Lie Luo Xie Gui.

  The fierce and terrifying Lüe Ro Xiāo Guǐ turned around and ran away, heading towards the stone gate of the tomb. It didnt dare to confront the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast head-on. To think that Lüe Ro Xiāo Guǐ was one of the five most formidable Yin Ghosts in the Five Ghost Temple, and even though it was just a low-level Lüe Ro Xiāo Guǐ, its strength was at least equivalent to that of a Great Circle Master who had completed their training. Moreover, the ghostly methods were mysterious and unpredictable, and ordinary Great Circle Masters might not be able to escape death if they encountered one.

  But the powerful Lie Luo evil spirit encountered a bloodthirsty lion beast that was born to restrain yin ghost evil corpses, and it had even absorbed Qin Lingyuns fresh blood to evolve into an even more powerful bloodthirsty lion beast, so its fate of being annihilated was sealed.

  The bloodthirsty lion beast opened its mouth and spewed out a purple mist, like a large net that wrapped around the fierce Lüo Xiāo ghost, no matter how it struggled, it was dragged into the big mouth.

  The bloodthirsty lion beast yawned, and in a flash of purple light, its body quickly shrunk down to the size of a fist, transforming back into the small dog-like creature it was before. It jumped onto Qin Lingyuns shoulder, lay down, and began dozing off with its eyes half-closed.

  Qin Lingyun shook her head and stopped paying attention to the blood-sucking lion beast, instead walking towards the direction of the old mans corpse.

  The old mans black skull fell to the ground without anyone urging it, flashing a dark and mysterious light. Qin Lingyuns eyes swept over it: "It turns out to be a mid-grade spiritual artifact, much more powerful than the Qingling Sword."

  Qin Lingyun swept her sleeve and put the black skull into a storage bag.

  At this moment, one of the three green-haired zombies was seriously injured, and the other two were basically unscathed. They all stood still, not daring to move without Qin Lingyuns instructions.

  Qin Lings spiritual power emerged from her palm and transformed into an illusory hand that grasped the old mans storage bag and spirit beast bag, pulling them back.

  "The corpses will be left to you to handle, thank you three Taoist friends for your help today, and Ill repay you another day." Qin Lingyun said with a smile to the three green-haired zombies.

  The green-haired zombies had a bit of consciousness and seemed to understand Qin Lingyuns meaning.

  This time, with the help of three green-haired zombies, Qin Lingyun was a person who knew how to repay kindness and would not pretend to be unaware just because they were three zombies. A cultivator has things that he will do and things that he wont do, some karma is tied down and cannot be ignored.

  After the Blood Lion Beast retracted its breath, the Green-haired Zombies rushed over immediately. In a short while, the old mans corpse on the ground was devoured clean, and the scene was terrifying. However, Qin Lingyun had become much bolder by now, and such scenes could no longer scare her.

  Qin Lingyun turned around and left the tomb, after leaving the tomb of King Xinfeng, she recited a mouthful of incantations, stepped on her sword and walked away, soon returning to where the old man had set up his formation earlier.

  Among the eight black flags, a thread of black air intertwined like a snake, and the young master had already fainted.

  Qin Lingyun sighed, took out the old mans storage bag, and probed inside with her spiritual power. There were quite a few things inside, including some unused fierce fire talismans, about a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones, several low-grade spirit tools, and a jade slip.

  With a flip of her palm, the jade slip appeared in front of her. She stuck the jade slip to her forehead and Qin Lingyuns consciousness probed inside. After a brief scan, she found that it recorded the cultivation method of basic magic and the breeding method of Lie Luo Xiao Gui.

  After briefly looking at the cultivation method of Lie Luo Xie Gui, Qin Lingyun roughly understood why the old man would go to great lengths to lay hands on an ordinary person. The extracted essence of a man born in Yang day and Yang time could make Lie Luo Xie Gui advance in rank.

  Of course, if it is a man born in the yang year, yang month, yang day and yang time, that kind of pure yang body that is hard to meet for a whole life, with yang energy rushing to the sky, and fierce evil spirits, if he can absorb them, he will immediately transform into a ghost king.

  Its extremely rare for a man to be born in the yang year, yang month, yang day and yang hour. This young master should have been born on an ordinary yang day and yang hour. There are many subtleties to absorbing yang energy, it must be that the mans heart does not reject it.

  The puppet spirit technique has many drawbacks. Once used on ordinary people, it not only greatly reduces their lifespan but also causes irreparable damage to their primordial spirit. Moreover, using the puppet spirit technique more than three times will have a negative impact on the practitioner, such as declining magical power, worsening luck, and even attracting calamity.

  So its unlikely that the old man used puppet spirit technique, he should be using a deceptive way to collect the essence.

  He used the Eight Trigrams Flag Array under the mysterious snakes Yang-absorbing array to extract a persons pure yang energy, which was a very vicious formation.

  Qin Lingyun took out the main flag of the formation from her storage bag according to the method described in the Jade Simplification, and threw it into the air. Eight black auras flew out from the main flag, connecting perfectly with the eight array flags below. Then, she pointed her finger and pressed a seal, shooting a beam of spiritual light into the formation. The eight array flags slowly rose under the pull of the main flag, finally hovering in front of her.

  Qin Lingyun waved her hand, and the nine flagpoles quickly shrunk and flew into the storage bag. This one move of collecting flags had almost consumed half of the spiritual energy in her body, making her sigh that the array method set up by the tenth layer of Qi refining was indeed much more spiritually consuming.

  Qin Lingyun glanced at the man who was unconscious on the ground and turned around to leave with her sword.

  The higher she flew, the more Qin Lingyun shuttled through the clouds and mist. The cool strong wind blew her long black hair, but she stood firmly on the sword, her figure not disordered in the slightest. Previously, under the pursuit of the old man, Qin Lingyun quickly grasped the basic skills of flight. In times of crisis, human potential is often rapidly developed.

  Although she had achieved her long-held dream, Qin Lingyun was surprised to find that she wasnt as excited as she had imagined, and she didnt know if it was because she had become increasingly cold-blooded.

  During this period, her hands had also been stained with fresh blood, but when faced with death, she no longer felt the shock she once did. Just like when facing that old man, all she had was clear rationality and calmness.

  "This might be the price of cultivating immortality." Having dispelled these unnecessary emotions from her heart, Qin Lingyun regained her composure and steered the Void Light towards the direction of the market town in Murong Henhais memories.

  At this time, the sky was already dark, and Qin Lingyun took more than two hours to gradually approach the mountain valley where the town was located.

  From afar, she saw flashes of light occasionally appearing in the air, which were the escaping lights of other cultivators.

  "It seems Ive come to the right place."

  From afar, I saw the valley, and it was slightly different from the one in Murong Chens memories of a hundred years ago, but not much had changed.

  The mountain valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and inside its dark and gloomy, nothing can be seen.

  Qin Lingyuns fingers formed a seal, and a green light flew out. The air in front of her rippled like water, with wave after wave of ripples appearing. She put away the Qingling Sword and stood on the ground, taking two steps forward. It was as if she had passed through an invisible barrier, and suddenly everything before her eyes became clear and bright.

  "A hundred years have passed, but the way of entering the external illusion array has not changed."

  The sects mountain gate and trading market of a general immortal cultivator will be set up with various arrays outside, no matter how powerful the array is, they all have one thing in common, which is to induce hallucinations. If an ordinary mortal accidentally wanders over, he wont be able to see anything.

  Qin Lingyun cast a glance, and the scenery in the valley was greatly different from before. The lights were shining brightly, and the sound of vendors calling out to customers filled her ears. Some shops were neatly arranged on the wide streets, while monks dressed in different robes walked along the streets.

  "I didnt expect to see so many cultivators. Its already midnight, yet there are so many people here. Cultivators and ordinary people are really different." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  Qin Lingyun was just standing on the road in front of the entrance to the market, and as she was about to step inside, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt came out from inside.

  The man had a large bruise on his chin, and his chubby face was originally full of smiles, but as soon as he looked up and down at Qin Lingyun, the smile immediately disappeared, replaced by obvious arrogance, and his hunched back also straightened up.

  His name was Fang Datong, a receptionist in this town. He saw the fluctuation of the formation and thought that a cultivator above the 10th layer had arrived, but unexpectedly it was just a cultivator at the 4th layer.

  Fang Datong himself had a cultivation base of five layers, and in the world of cultivators, strength was revered. So when faced with a junior cultivator who was one layer lower than him, he naturally wouldnt give him a good look.

  Noticing the change in his complexion, Qin Lingyun remained calm and said with a bow: "This Taoist friend is polite."

  Fang Datong handed over a small booklet with a flick of his wrist, and snorted coldly: "Dont blame me for not reminding you, the goods traded in this market dont include those lowest-grade trash."

  After saying that, Fang Datong turned and left. Qin Lingyun didnt think much of it, but secretly sneered in her heart.

  Opening the small booklet in his hand, it introduced the general situation of the shops in the Bao Shi market. The scale of this Bao Shi market was much larger than what Murong Hen Hai remembered from a hundred years ago. The shops inside could be roughly divided into several types, including Fa Bao shops, Dan Yao shops, Fu Zhou shops, Gong Fa shops, and various materials.

  In addition, there are auction houses and a large number of stalls run by monks, where transactions are generally settled with spirit stones.

  Ling stone is a kind of stone filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy it contains is extremely nourishing for cultivators.

  Normally, when practicing meditation and internal energy exercises, if one absorbs the spiritual energy from a spiritual stone, it will make the cultivators cultivation speed astonishingly fast. After all, for a cultivator to absorb and refine scattered spiritual energy on their own is different from having pure spiritual energy right next to them, available for absorption at will.

  But the greatest effect of the spirit stone is not in this place. Its main purpose is still on the consumption of setting up arrays and casting spells. Qin Lingyun has a lot of spirit stones on her body, although they are all low-grade spirit stones, but among the lower-level cultivators, it is considered to be very wealthy.

  "That demon cultivator was quite wealthy, with over a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones. That should be enough for me to buy many useful items." (My other pen name wrote an ancient romance novel, if youre interested, go take a look!)

  Love myself, but dont love Cool Guy Wang Ye.

  Being a queen, being ignored by maids and concubines, being bullied by junior concubines.

  This queens position is not worth taking.

  There is a saying: The world is vast and there are many beautiful things everywhere. Dont be an obstacle to the king, find your own husband yourself!

  She didnt believe it, with a set of exquisite modern medical skills, wasnt she afraid of not making a name for herself in the world?
