Chapter 123: Calamity Does Not Extend to Family Members

  "The Wugui Temple has recently been openly recruiting disciples, and any cultivator who has cultivated their Qi to the sixth layer or above can participate in the selection competition. Those who have cultivated their Qi to the tenth layer or above do not need to take a test and will be directly admitted into the sect. Why don't you give it a try? If I weren't a cultivator of the Lingmu Sect, my cultivation method would likely be recognized as that of the Lingmu Sect, and I might also have to participate in the selection."

  "Isn't Zhengyi Gate also recruiting? Why don't you go to Zhengyi Gate?"

  "Never mind, Zhengyi is a self-proclaimed orthodox sect, although I'm worried that the Five Ghosts Temple is also recruiting people, but they strictly check the skills of those who come to join. Joining Zhengyi is like selling one's soul. We've been good friends for many years, and I wouldn't harm you. The Five Ghosts Temple is absolutely more reliable than Zhengyi."

  Qin Lingyun heard this and understood a lot of things. Her heart moved, and she suddenly appeared in front of the two escaping lights, intercepting them.

  She has been using the Yuanmu Lingyin technique to transform into new appearances since her promotion to the foundation-building period, although it is only a slight modification of her original appearance, the overall appearance is already greatly different. More importantly, the Yuanmu Lingyin technique has many wonderful aspects when used in the foundation-building period.

  Firstly, after using the Yuanmu Lingyin technique, the external cultivation can be adjusted between three levels of cultivation below one's own cultivation. Qin Lingyun is currently at the initial stage of foundation building, so she can adjust it between the 10th layer of Qi Refining and the initial stage of Foundation Building.

  Secondly, by using the Yuán Mù Líng Yǐn Shù (Hidden Spirit Technique), one can change their innate aura, making it impossible for cultivators of the same or lower realm to sense, unless they have surpassed a major realm in cultivation.

  Qin Lingyun appeared in front of the two men, using his early foundation-building cultivation. The external release of his true yuan force instantly blocked the two cultivators.

  One could sense the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and both cultivators stopped in their tracks, bowing respectfully. The one from the Lingmu Sect asked, "Senior, what business do you have with blocking our way?"

  Two monks had some fear in their eyes, afraid that they might have unintentionally offended this strange Jindan monk and now he has come to kill them.

  Qin Lingyun stood still and calmly asked, "Just now I heard you guys talking about the Five Ghosts Temple recruiting people, where are they recruiting?"

  It was still the same Lingmu Gate cultivator, who heard Qin Linyin's words and let out a long sigh of relief. As long as they weren't there to kill him, he felt much more at ease. Otherwise, in the eyes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his own seventh layer Qi Refining cultivation and that of his friend, who was at the eighth layer, were not even enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to destroy with just a small finger.

  "The Wu Gui Temple is located at the foot of Mo Shan Mountain, where its main temple is situated. They are recruiting disciples and do not mind the past of individual cultivators, they are very magnanimous." The monk said respectfully.

  Qin Lingyun didn't say a word, her figure flashed and disappeared in front of the two people. After this incident, the two cultivators also lost their interest in talking and quickly flew away.

  Qin Lingyun lingered at the other end, with a faint smile, and just now she wanted to try to probe whether Yuan Muling's hidden technique was as he said.

  As a result, neither of them discovered anything unusual, so Qin Lingyun did not make things difficult for the two passing monks and let them go.

  Qin Lingyun gazed at Qin's village shrouded in the twilight glow, her calm emotions gradually stirring up.

  As she approached her hometown, Qin Lingyun couldn't help but take a deep breath.

  Qin Lingyun didn't directly fly in, but instead pinched a hiding technique with her fingers, and her body slowly disappeared into thin air. This kind of magic is also a use of spiritual power, no matter what kind of spiritual power it is, it can be used to perform the hiding technique.

  The true yuan force in Qin Lingyun's body was a qualitative change in the condensation of spiritual power, and essentially it was just a more powerful spiritual power.

  Simple stealth techniques can make ordinary people unable to see her appearance, while cultivators perceive Qin Lingyun through their spiritual sense. Stealth techniques have no effect on powerful cultivators.

  Qin Lingyun entered Qin's village quietly, and as the sun set, she walked step by step to her own doorstep. The familiar gate, the familiar walls, many years of past events flowed through Qin Lingyun's heart, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

  But soon, she felt a bit strange. The courtyard was quiet, and there was no sound at all. Usually at this time, family members would be sitting around the table eating dinner, and bursts of laughter would occasionally come out.

  But at this moment, there was nothing in the courtyard.

  Originally withdrawn consciousness of Qin Lingyun suddenly extended outward.

  With just one glance, she was stunned, her entire body as if frozen in ice. Then, with a stamp of her boots on the ground, her body transformed into a whirlwind and entered the main house.

  On a familiar table, a jade slip hidden from view, visible only to cultivators, was placed in the center.

  Qin Lingyun's palm beckoned, and the jade slip flew into her hand with a soft whooshing sound. Then, she probed it with her divine sense.

  Qin Lingyun, I'm so sorry to tell you that you're a step too late. Your father, mother, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and niece and nephew - the whole family, not one of them is left, they've all been taken away by me.

  Aren't you very angry? Hehe, that's exactly what I want, your anger.

  "No matter how angry you are, what can you do to me? Want your family back? Easy, let's set a time, ten years, just ten years from the time I sign off, after ten years, we meet here again, and if you win, your family will be yours. If you lose, sorry, your family and even yourself will all die. Think carefully."

  The signature is Qin Xiaoyun and the date, which is just two days different from today.

  It was only two days, and everything changed. Qin Lingyun's palms were tightly clenched, the chill in her eyes could not be restrained, and it took a while to calm down slowly. Qin Lingyun said lightly: "Disaster does not affect family members, Qin Xiaoyun, if you harm one of my family members, I will use the most cruel punishment in the world to torture you."

  Qin Lingyun knew that in the eyes of many cultivators, as long as the result could be achieved, the means were not important. However, using ordinary people's family members for coercion was a extremely shameful behavior.

  Qin Lingyun waved her hand, and the jade slip in her hand shattered into dust: "Ten years later, I'll be waiting for you"

  The whole Qin family village was still as familiar, but there was nothing left to cherish. Qin Lingyun turned around and left the house, walking away from the Qin family village in the twilight.

  Qin Ling's spirit soared into the air, and the small golden beast transformed into a ray of golden light that landed on her shoulder. Feeling its master's anger, it blinked its big eyes and didn't behave as mischievously as usual.

  The Blood Lion Beast also flew out, before entering the transmission array, it absorbed a large amount of blood and spiritual energy, after which it transformed into a cocoon. However, when Qin Lingyun crossed the transmission array back to the Great Wei, the Blood Lion Beast emerged from the cocoon, and then Qin Lingyun rode the Blood Lion Beast through Shitai City, Lishui City, and finally arrived at Qin's Village.

  But the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast didn't show any unusual signs, just as it sensed Qin Lingyu's anger, the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast flew into the air, its body rapidly expanding, quickly exceeding two zhang, and finally transformed into a size of about ten zhang, its massive body standing up like a small hill.

  The bloodthirsty lion beast opened its big mouth, and the two fangs became even sharper. Its whole body was flashing with purple light, and on top of its lantern-like eyes were swirling threads of lightning.

  Having entered the second stage, the Blood Lion Beast has fully transformed into a ferocious beast that is hard to imagine. On its back, a pair of wings with purple light flashing on top, its entire body covered in purple fur, not only its eyes but also its wings and body hair are all adorned with fine electric lights.

  Qin Lingyun had originally thought that the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast was a earth-attribute demon beast that could swallow things, but after evolving to the second stage, the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast clearly became a lightning-attribute demon beast.

  A second-rate lower-grade Blood Lion Beast might be able to fight against a cultivator in the middle of the Foundation Establishment stage. Such a spirit beast is almost comparable to those top-notch demon beasts at the second grade.

  In any case, the increase in the Vampire Lion Beast's strength is a good thing.

  Qin Lingyun didn't let the Bloodthirsty Lion try out its current abilities, anyway there would naturally be a time when it would come in handy later on.

  "Make it smaller, it's too big and eye-catching." Qin Lingyun said.

  The bloodthirsty lion beast shook its body, quickly shrinking down to just over two zhang in length, still much larger than before. The bloodthirsty lion beast then used its eyes to indicate that it was unable to shrink any further.

  The little vampire lion that was once so cute is now nowhere to be found, but the current vampire lion is majestic and powerful. Qin Lingyun can sit cross-legged on its back, which is very wide and comfortable.

  The golden beast also jumped up, excitedly rolling over, it now has a good relationship with the vampire lion beast, so this behavior will not make the vampire lion beast feel disgusted.

  "Alright, you don't need to come out for now, go back into the spirit beast bag first."

  The Blood Lion Beast liked to stay in the Spirit Beast Bag, so without hesitation, it quickly entered the Spirit Beast Bag.

  The little golden beast made a sour face, Qin Lingyun knew it didn't want to go in, it liked staying outside more, but it could shrink down, so Qin Lingyun let it be.

  Qin Lingyun flew away in the air and soon landed outside a manor house near Qinghe Town. This was Li Shuangjiang's manor, where Qin Lingyun had once used her puppet spirit technique on him.

  At that time, she didn't know much about the spiritual path. Later on, she found out that using puppet spirit techniques on ordinary people would greatly shorten their lifespan and cause their minds to become increasingly dull. These aftereffects were all very deadly.

  After more than a decade, Qin Lingyun came to settle the karma of past years. As long as her heart is at peace, she will be unencumbered. Now that Li Shuangjiang poses no threat to her, an ordinary person, she has lifted the Puppet Spirit Technique from him, allowing him to live on in peace.

  Qin Lingyun walked directly into the manor, and no one could see her or sense her presence.
