1:45 PM.
Willow Smoke Lane.
The most popular Yihong House in Yunling Town, favored by male cultivators, was just across the alley.
At this ti, a male cultivator staggered out from Yihong House, mumbling:
"When I sell all the talismans tomorrow, I’ll make you all wear black gauze cloud pattern skirts, dress as that Demon Sect Saintess to serve !"
This person seed to be a Talisman Master, but he had drunk a lot, and his steps were unsteady.
He walked into Willow Smoke Lane, stumbling along a path that gradually beca secluded.
Suddenly, two figures in black robes appeared ahead, exuding a chilling aura.
The Talisman Master froze, rembering recent rumors of ghost cultivators robbing people, and he sobered up considerably. He imdiately pulled out two Divine Movent Talismans, placed them on his legs, and his figure transford into a stream of light as he turned to flee.
Bang!
Ah!
Then he was struck by a red ray, his body was sent flying back, and he crashed heavily onto the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, watching yet another black-robed figure slowly approach, terrified out of his wits.
Just as he was about to reach for his talisman paper, the two blocking his way had already flashed over, one of them stepping on his hands.
The Talisman Master was terrified and pleaded for rcy:
"Three seniors, I’ll give you everything, spare my life!"
The black-robed person who had shot the red ray to knock down the Talisman Master stepped forward, bent down to rummage through him, and found more than ten talisman papers, over ten Spirit Stones, and a few First Grade Spirit Pills.
"Ha, turns out you’re a fat sheep."
He gestured, and another black-robed person already had a dagger in his hand, its cold glint suggested it was a Low Tier Magical Artifact.
The Talisman Master scread miserably: "Spare my life, senior! Spare !"
Da, da, da...
At this mont, a peculiar sound of footsteps echoed, both heavy and light, both near and far, as if treading on their hearts.
The three black-robed people looked towards the sound, only to see a mysterious figure approaching.
She had red hair, clad in a red tight outfit, her hips swaying and undulating as she walked.
Her tall and voluptuous figure seed to possess a certain allure, making it hard for anyone to look away.
However, her face was covered with a red veil, concealing her features, leaving only a pair of cold, piercing eyes flashing chillingly in the darkness.
The three black-robed people exchanged glances, cautious, as they all drew identical dagger-like Magical Artifacts.
"Who are you?"
One of the black-robed people asked aloud.
The red-haired female cultivator continued walking slowly towards the three, her steps unbroken.
"Courting death!"
Seeing the hostility of the newcor, the three spoke no more. One restrained the Talisman Master, while the other two simultaneously swung their daggers, sending two red rays attacking the red-haired female cultivator.
Then they bent low and rushed from both sides towards the female cultivator, one dagger aid at her throat, the other slashing toward her thigh.
These three were from the Blood Pill Sect in the land of South Demon. This sect comprised Alchemists, but unlike the Alchemists of the Righteous Path, all their alchemy materials were seized and plundered.
As such, the three were exceptionally experienced in Magical Combat, initiating with close-quarter killing moves, leaving no room for the opponent.
The Righteous Path cultivators from the Eastern Cultivation Land found it difficult to counter such attacks, even if their cultivation surpassed the three in black robes; caught off guard, they could only lant.
However, the red-haired female cultivator dodged the two red rays with ease, and with an unknown maneuver, grasped the dagger-like Magical Artifacts from the two black-robed people, reversing them into their thighs.
Ah! Ah!
Two shrill cries were abruptly cut off halfway, as the female cultivator shot out a pill with each hand, which flew straight into the mouths of the two black-robed people.
Her tall figure didn’t stop, and in the next instant, she was already in front of the remaining black-robed person.
This black-robed person reacted swiftly, his body shook, and several talisman papers lit up, but the red-haired female cultivator’s hand elegantly waved, and a vivid red fla burst from her palm, instantly engulfing all the talisman papers the black-robed person released, turning them to ashes.
The black-robed person’s pupils reflected the oncoming flas, utterly horrified, he could only stare, waiting for death.
In the next mont, the flas vanished, the black-robed person’s eyes widened, his body trembling like a leaf, and in the rustling sound, his pants were already wet.
In that instant just now, the aura within the flas was terrifying, akin to an ancient beast.
The black-robed person had killed quite a few cultivators, a hardened mindset; yet facing this terrifying aura, he could not suppress the fear seemingly originating from his soul.
"You, who exactly are... uh?!"
Before he could finish speaking, a pill had already flown into his mouth, straight down his throat.
Instantly, all the ridians in his body felt as if they were being gnawed by ten thousand insects, an unbearable pain.
The black-cloaked man collapsed to his knees, mouth agape, but he couldn’t even produce a scream.
His two companions had fallen to the ground and were writhing a mont earlier, their faces twisted in the sa silent agony.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!"
The talisman master who had been robbed narrowly escaped death and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the red-haired female cultivator, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over her tall and voluptuous figure.
The red-haired female cultivator looked at him, a ethereal voice coming from beneath the red veil:
"What did you just say?"
The talisman master was startled, quickly responding, "Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!"
The red-haired female cultivator said, "Not that sentence."
The talisman master was montarily stunned and hesitantly said, "Spare , Senior?"
The red-haired female cultivator looked at him, her gaze growing colder, and reminded him, "You said, what did you want those prostitute cultivators to do?"
The talisman master’s gaze finally moved from her tall and voluptuous body to her face, stamring:
"I—I said I wanted them all to wear that Demon Sect witch’s black gauze cloud pattern skirt and serve well."
"That’s the one."
The red-haired female cultivator clapped her hands, and in her ethereal voice was unexpectedly a hint of mischievousness, causing mountains to tremble, srizing the lustful talisman master.
Boldly harboring impure thoughts, he reached out to grab her ankle: "Senior, I’m injured. I live in Cyan Luo Lane, not far from here. Could you perhaps escort ?"
"I could."
After the red-haired female cultivator spoke, she extended her jade-like hand in front of the talisman master. He was overjoyed and reached out, only to see that her white hand suddenly turned red.
Suddenly, a bright red fla burst forth, enveloping the talisman master completely!
The shriek of pain had just begun when the red-haired female cultivator slashed his throat with the black-cloaked man’s dagger.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...
In the flas, the talisman master clutched his throat, curling up on the ground, gradually ceasing to move.
In less than the ti it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the talisman master’s body had turned to ashes, the flas receded, leaving nothing on the ground.
The three black-cloaked n, who had been screaming silently, witnessed this scene, their eyes filled with horror and fear, and the two who hadn’t lost control of their bowels were now wet.
They had killed many people themselves, but in terms of cold-blooded cruelty and unpredictability, they weren’t even as nacing as a single finger of the red-haired female cultivator!
At this mont, the red-haired female cultivator walked up to the three of them, waving her hand, sending three streams of spiritual power into their bodies.
The excruciating pain, like being devoured by thousands of ants, vanished instantly.
"Is this the Heart-devouring Pill?"
One of them asked, trembling.
The Heart-devouring Pill is a vicious fifth-grade pill. After consuming it, the body experiences agonizing pain, alleviated only temporarily by the spiritual energy of the pill’s holder.
It recurs every month, and without relief from the holder’s spiritual energy, the victim will die as their ridians shatter.
This ans that the poisoned person becos a slave to the pill holder forever.
The Heart-devouring Pill is refined from "Heart-devouring Grass."
But Heart-devouring Grass is not naturally occurring; it must be cultivated by a Fifth Tier Spirit Plant Master and then refined by a Fifth Grade Alchemist.
In other words, the red-haired female cultivator standing before them was either a Fifth Tier Spirit Plant Master or a Fifth Grade Alchemist?
The three black-cloaked n trembled all over, struggling to bow repeatedly to the female cultivator:
"Spare us, Senior! Spare us, Senior!"
The red-haired female cultivator responded coldly, "Starting today, do not go out to rob, and do not do anything that draws attention."
"We will heed the Senior’s command!"
The three kowtowed in acknowledgnt.
The red-haired female cultivator paused for a mont, then added:
"Are you from the Blood Pill Sect?"
The three exchanged glances, not daring to hide the truth: "Your eyes are as sharp as torches, Senior. Indeed, we are from the Blood Pill Sect, but we were expelled and cannot survive in the South Demon region, so we ca here."
"Since you are from the Blood Pill Sect, do you..."
The red-haired female cultivator turned her head to look elsewhere, her ethereal voice seeming slightly awkward:
"Have a pill furnace?"
