  In less than ten breaths, Lie Teng seemed to have swallowed dozens of spiritual beasts' souls, his body feeling extremely comfortable. He hastily looked inward and discovered that his soul had grown stronger by a fraction, and was still continuously absorbing the soul energy contained within the lake water, which was similar in nature to the spiritual beasts' souls he had absorbed before.

  "Could it be that this lake water contains soul power?" Lie Teng was overjoyed, he cultivated his soul, and those with little soul power were pitiful, only able to gain a bit more by constantly running the law of the mantra. Yet now, he had suddenly absorbed so much, almost equivalent to half a year's worth of cultivation. Thinking of this, Lie Teng didn't rush to take out the Corpse Blood Flower, but instead ran the "Refine Soul Way" for a good half an hour. Only then did Lie Teng finish absorbing the soul power contained in the lake water. At this time, the soul in his body was almost twice as large as before. The originally bright red lake water had become clear after Lie Teng absorbed the soul power. He could see the strange place of the Corpse Blood Flower at a glance - it was snow-white on top and bright red where it entered the lake water.

  Lie Teng did not immediately take out the Corpse Blood Flower, but instead fell into deep thought. In this secret realm, countless disciples of the Puppet Sect had died, and the soul power contained in the lake was undoubtedly formed from their souls after death. If he were to go to places with more killings later on, absorb this kind of soul power, wouldn't it allow his soul to cultivate faster? Thinking of this, Lie Teng decided that after leaving the secret realm, he would leave the Puppet Sect and venture out to temper himself, seeking places of slaughter to cultivate his soul. Immediately afterwards, Lie Teng grasped the stem of the Corpse Blood Flower and slowly pulled it out, then carefully flew towards the top of the small mountain on his sword, not daring to touch the white upper part of the Corpse Blood Flower.

  Seeing Lie Teng come in, Qing Xue's face showed a hint of joy and her heart also relaxed. She said slowly: "Pinch off a piece the size of a fingernail from the base of the Corpse Blood Flower, don't take too much. This Corpse Blood Flower is extremely precious, especially the bright red part at the bottom."

  Lieteng's face was icy cold, he took off a fingernail-sized piece of something and looked at Qingxue: "What else?"

  Qing Xue's face turned even redder, her eyes sparkled, and her chest heaved violently again. She whispered: "...Turn me over." Her voice was filled with a hint of shyness, Lie Teng furrowed his brow, his icy gaze fixed on Qing Xue.

  Qing Xue bit her red lips, her face slightly flushed with a hint of shyness: "My back has already begun to fester... you need to tear open my clothes and use the blood of the dead flowers to wipe clean the wound."

  Lieteng's face turned cold, and he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. He looked at Qingshuang with a cold gaze, and with one hand, he flipped her over. There was no hint of pity in his actions. Qingshuang, who had landed on her face, couldn't help but let out a pained cry. Her back was covered in blood, staining her white clothes bright red. A foul odor wafted up, causing Lieteng's brow to furrow. He used his sword to cut open Qingshuang's silk skirt, and the curve of her back was imprinted on his eyes without any concealment. There was a festering wound the size of a palm print on her back, but aside from that, the rest of her body was as smooth as ice and jade, with a delicate and transparent beauty that seemed to stir one's passions.

  Qing Xue's face turned bright red as she saw Lie Teng's gaze sweep over her body, and she felt like ants were crawling on her back. She bit her lip and said shyly, "What are you looking at? Just use the Blood Flower to wipe your wound." At this moment, she almost wanted to dig a hole and hide, thinking about how many people had seen her naked body since childhood. Fortunately, it was only her back, if it were... Qing Xue's face became even redder.

  Lie Teng coldly glanced at Qing Xue, sneering: "In the past, in the Solitary Cave, you wanted to kill me. How will you repay me? I not only want to look, but also want to touch." Lie Teng's right hand held the Corpse Blood Flower, while his left hand reached out towards Qing Xue's buttocks.

  "Qingyun... dare you!" Qingxue exclaimed, her voice filled with a hint of anger and disgust.

  "Slap!" Lie Teng's left hand slapped Qing Xue's buttocks, and he couldn't help but praise her smooth skin and soft buttocks, which made him unable to resist pinching them.

  "Ah!" Qing Xue couldn't help but let out a moan, her slender body trembling violently, her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes fluttering wildly, her white teeth biting down on her tender lips, her face alternating between pale and red, it was unclear whether she was angry or embarrassed.

  "Don't worry, I'm not very interested in a woman with such a vicious heart." Lie Teng withdrew his hand and coldly glanced at Qing Xue, then used the torn-off Corpse Blood Flower to gently wipe away the festering wound on Qing Xue.

  When Qing Xue heard Lie Teng's words, her delicate body trembled again. She bit her lips tightly and opened her eyes, which were shining with tears. She hated to chop off Lie Teng's hands and dig out his eyes, but his words made her feel inexplicably wronged in her heart. Biting her red lips tightly, she felt a sudden shiver run through her body as Lie Teng wiped away her tears.

  Although it was only the size of a fingernail, the medicinal effect of this Corpse Blood Flower was astonishing. Lie Teng gently wiped the rotting flesh on Qing Xue's back with a fingernail-sized Corpse Blood Flower, and it miraculously healed at an incredible speed. The Corpse Blood Flower gradually changed from bright red to snow white.

  "Take this and swallow it, it will dissolve the poison in your body." Feeling a cool sensation spreading from behind her back, Qing Xue let out a sigh of relief and looked at Lie Teng. Lie Teng coldly glanced at Qing Xue and tore off another piece of his nail, extending it towards Qing Xue's lips.

  Her lips slightly parted, Lie Teng directly placed the fragments of Corpse Blood Flower on her red lips, then stood up, and reached into his storage bag to retrieve a foot-long jade box, placing the Corpse Blood Flower inside. He put it back in his storage bag, sat down at the side, closed his eyes, and began meditating. Meanwhile, Qing Xue swallowed the fragments of Corpse Blood Flower, her face slightly improving, but her body still unable to move. She didn't dare look at Lie Teng; her back was still covered in bloodstains, yet the wound had already scabbed over, likely to recover soon.

  An hour later, Qing Xue's body trembled slightly, her entire body bursting with a faint glow. She suddenly stood up, quickly putting on a white silk dress, and then, with eyes full of murderous intent, she stared at Lie Teng. Feeling Qing Xue's killing intent, Lie Teng also opened his eyes, coldly staring back at Qing Xue.

  "What, your injuries have healed and now you want to kill me?" Lie Teng said coldly, without a hint of fear.

  "I, Qing Xue, will not go back on my own oath, but the Corpse Blood Flower must be handed over." Qing Xue's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said coldly after a moment of contemplation.

  "Why, this Blood Flower that I plucked is mine." Lie Teng said fearlessly, but at the same time, he was also a bit nervous in his heart. After all, if Qing Xue were to suddenly turn against him and disregard her previous oath, Lie Teng could only accept his fate.

  "The logic of carrying a crime is understandable, but the Corpse Blood Flower is a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, extremely precious. Once discovered, it will inevitably be pursued and killed." Qing Xue said without any emotional tone.

  Lieteng's face sank, and he hesitated in his heart. Although he knew that the Corpse Blood Flower was precious, he hadn't expected it to be so valuable. The spiritual medicine was divided into six grades, and fourth-grade was already considered a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Even the Gui Sect might not have many fourth-grade spiritual medicines. Now that Lieteng knew the Corpse Blood Flower was a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, he was even more unwilling to hand it over. He looked at Qingshuang coldly and said, "I put it in my storage bag, but would others discover it? Perhaps what you're saying is about yourself."

  Her face turned bright red as she remained speechless, unable to respond for a moment.

  "This blood oath I will not give up, unless the vow is broken." Lie Teng glanced at Qing Xue and immediately added, "Can we leave now to find Qing Yi?"

  "What does the life and death of Qing Yi have to do with me?" Qing Xue's chest heaved violently, after suppressing the emotional turmoil within her, she said calmly.

  Lieteng suddenly stopped, his eyelids slightly drooping, with a cold light in his eyes. Undoubtedly, Qingxue was threatening him again with the Qingyi. His fists clenched tightly, he glared at Qingxue furiously and shouted: "Good! Good!" Immediately after, he took out the jade box containing the Corpse Blood Flower and threw it aside, then stepped on the Crimson Spirit Sword and flew out of the cave entrance.

  Her eyes dimmed for a moment, and her normally calm face showed a hint of complexity. She muttered to herself, "I must get the Corpse Flower, I have no other choice." Without hesitation, she stored the Corpse Flower in her exquisite storage ring, which had the same function as a storage pouch but was more advanced and exclusive to people of high status.
