"Junior Brother Li, please consider our past relationship and spare my life—"
Within Li An’s Spirit Platform, Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit was already kneeling before Li An’s Primordial Spirit, earnestly pleading!
She was quick to understand her fate was now completely in Li An’s control.
However, Li An looked at her calmly and said:
"Senior Sister Xu, you once did a favor."
"Back in the Profound Yang Sect, it was thanks to Senior Sister Xu’s help that I, from being a re servant, beca a disciple."
"Later, when I had a relationship with Qingxue, it was also thanks to Senior Sister Xu that I joined the Talisman Hall."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuhui was quite moved, "Junior Brother Li still rembers these things, which is enough to touch Senior Sister’s heart—"
"But!"
Li An’s tone grew heavier, "Senior Sister Xu let join the Talisman Hall just to use to strengthen Qingxue’s power, right?"
"Later, during the ambush by Life-taking Horse-Faced at Qingyang Market, although you saved Qingxue, you showed no kindness to , Li An."
"In the end, I, Li An, owe Senior Sister Xu only the favor of being uplifted from a servant position."
"That favor was repaid during the crisis at the Profound Yang Sect when I wrote to Qingxue, asking her to go to Liuyang River Market, which benefited Senior Sister Xu, allowing her to survive and even beco the seventeenth disciple of the White Tiger Master—"
"What do you think, Senior Sister?"
Xu Qiuhui felt anxious, not knowing Li An’s true intention, and dared not respond.
"But how should Senior Sister Xu repay what she owes Li An?"
Li An calmly said, "Back then, you took my Primordial Soul Crystal Core, and a few years ago, you took my Primordial Spirit Pill. Today... you even intend to take my body."
Xu Qiuhui suddenly realized, the Primordial Soul Crystal Core... was Wei Ming really Li An back then?
She had unknowingly ford so much enmity with Li An!
Her Primordial Spirit began to tremble lightly.
"I..."
She just wanted to say sothing, but Li An had already seized her throat.
"You will repay with your life—"
Li An’s expression was so indifferent as his powerful Divine Sense began to operate, forcibly refining Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit—
Refining another’s Primordial Spirit can absorb their Soul Power, enhancing one’s own strength.
But it also brings trouble, as the various emotions and grievances within others’ souls beco impurities in oneself.
Li An originally did not want to refine her.
But only by refining her Primordial Spirit could he know her mories and thus understand the intent of the people at White Tiger Mountain and respond better.
That was the goal!
As for the impurities in her Soul Power, they could be slowly removed later.
Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit struggled violently but, in Li An’s hands, was like a chick struggling to get out of his grip.
...
A night passed.
Morning.
Li An finally opened his eyes.
"Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill!"
He had already acquired all of Xu Qiuhui’s mories!
—After Xu Qiuhui failed in her Core Formation, the White Tiger Master personally taught her this cultivation technique.
It was ant to control Li An.
The Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill is also a Demon Skill, and it’s quite unique, allowing one to separate their Primordial Spirit, entrusting it into another’s body, and possess others, turning them into a "clone" of themselves!
In this way, even if the main body is killed, the Primordial Spirit can still control the clone to live on.
Even Li An couldn’t help but be shocked. This ability was no less than the Blood and Flesh lting Furnace Skill and the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill.
But, because the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill involves the Primordial Spirit, one must at least reach the Core Formation stage to cultivate it, separating part of their Primordial Spirit.
Because Xu Qiuhui was only at the Foundation Establishnt stage, she couldn’t split her Primordial Spirit, so she chose to abandon her own body and entirely possess Li An.
She just didn’t expect that Li An’s Life Seed power could refine the Demonic Qi she transferred into his Spirit Platform. Moreover, Li An’s Divine Sense and Primordial Spirit were far stronger than hers, leading to her downfall instead.
Unfortunately, even Xu Qiuhui didn’t know White Tiger Mountain’s true intentions behind having her control Li An.
"There seems to be a mysterious link between the three Demon Skills. If I also cultivate the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill, an astounding change may occur..."
Li An pondered.
This change could be good or bad.
But for now, he need not consider it.
After all, only when he reached the Core Formation stage would the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill be useful. At the Foundation Establishnt stage, its cultivation has little aning, unless he, like Xu Qiuhui, was prepared to abandon his own body and possess others.
He dressed and stood up, then dressed Xu Qiuhui’s corpse beside him.
The body was still warm, but the person had passed away.
Li An didn’t destroy her corpse because, according to her agreent with White Tiger Mountain, after possessing Li An, they would preserve her body. Once she achieved great deeds at Celestial Yang City, she could return to her original self in the future.
"Outside must be full of spies from White Tiger City."
Li An considered that if he fled directly, it would be unwise and expose the problem.
He could only continue to counter every move with another!
He closed his eyes and confird again—
By refining Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit, coupled with the Life Seed’s power, his Primordial Spirit could disguise itself as Xu Qiuhui’s. Even if soone investigated his Spirit Platform, they would not notice.
Even the White Tiger Master, as a Golden Core Great Cultivator, would not detect anything abnormal.
Then, he had a carriage prepared and took Xu Qiuhui’s body with him to White Tiger Mountain.
The White Tiger Master personally received him.
"Reporting to Master, the disciple has successfully possessed Zuo Wen—"
Upon eting, Li An bowed, even mimicking Xu Qiuhui’s deanor and temperant.
Having refined Xu Qiuhui’s soul, achieving this was extrely easy for him.
"Very good, very good. Co closer, let examine your Spirit Platform to see if there are any flaws—"
Li An obediently walked to her, bowing his head.
The White Tiger Master was dressed in a white silk robe, her long, slender legs crossed elegantly, her presence overwhelming. A faint fragrance wafted in the air, stirring emotions, but Li An remained infinitely respectful.
The White Tiger Master lifted her jade hand, placing it on Li An’s forehead.
In that instant, Li An felt as if his Spirit Platform was being scrutinized.
Within the fire of the soul, his Primordial Spirit had long taken the shape of Xu Qiuhui’s, albeit seemingly very weak at that mont.
"Very good, very good."
The White Tiger Master displayed a satisfied smile. Out of caution, she checked the state within Zuo Wen’s Spirit Platform, and upon seeing Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit there, she was completely reassured.
Everything was going smoothly.
"Here is a spirit dicine to nourish the Divine Soul. Take it and use the next few days for good recovery."
The White Tiger Master waved her hand, handing Li An a third-grade Fetal Soul Herb!
Li An felt imnse joy, repeatedly expressing gratitude: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
"In a few days, you should go to the Treasure Pavilion and take up the position of chief. So tasks need to be entrusted to you."
The White Tiger Master continued in a gentle tone.
Li An’s mind stirred; was the true intention finally going to be revealed?
"Please instruct , Master."
"The first task, once in the Treasure Pavilion, is to collect two types of items. First, spirit dicines like the ’Soul-Devouring Root’ that can harm the Divine Soul. Second, materials like the ’Breaking Evil Spring’ that can cleanse Evil Qi and break evil forces."
"The second task is to proactively assist the Prince Mansion by collecting Fetal Soul Herbs and Celestial Slayer Stones... Mm, don’t worry about this part, soone will deliver these to you. You just have to find a way to present them naturally to the Prince Mansion."
"These tasks fall within your duties, but you must execute them with care and caution. Otherwise, not only will you face mortal danger, but White Tiger Mountain may also encounter great calamity."
The White Tiger Master’s words beca exceptionally solemn.
Li An’s mind raced with countless thoughts, but he remained respectfully committed: "Rest assured, Master, Qiu Hui will commit fully!"
The White Tiger Master nodded: "Among my many disciples, you possess the strongest resolve and the greatest intelligence. I believe you can achieve this..."
"Rest assured, I will personally seal your original body, keeping it intact for decades. Once you complete this task, you can return to your original body, and I will personally escort you to achieve the Golden Core Dao—"
A promise.
Li An displayed an expression of excitent, filled with gratitude and reverence.
"You may go now. Rember, from this day on, you are Zuo Wen. Do not actively contact ; I will send soone to find you..."
After a few more instructions, Li An imdiately departed from White Tiger Mountain.
Xu Qiuhui’s dead body was left inside the mountain.
Returning to his dwelling, he finally let out a long sigh of relief!
Things at White Tiger Mountain... were temporarily stabilized!
However, a multitude of doubts still arose in his heart...
