「The next morning, in a great hall of the Immortal Palace.」
Si Yangze was bellowing furiously, "Zhang Bin, how dare you kill my disciple! I will never let you go!"
Standing opposite him, Lü Jianben was also enraged. "Zhang Bin, our Lü family will never let you off! Just you wait!"
Last night, Lv Yuze hadn't returned, and at first, they weren't concerned. But this morning, they discovered he was missing. They went to search near the small temple and found traces of a fight, along with Lv Yuze's Fang Tian halberd. They even saw a pile of ashes, which they realized was all that remained of Lv Yuze's body. He had been killed!
They unanimously concluded that the killer was Zhang Bin. After all, Zhang Bin and Lv Yuze were enemies. Moreover, Lv Yuze had gone to hire an assassin to deal with Zhang Bin, giving Zhang Bin a clear motive to kill him.
"We don't need to lift a finger; the Black Bell Assassin Organization will eliminate Zhang Bin," Si Yangze said with a sinister grin. "Lv Yuze had already placed the order before Zhang Bin killed him. The Assassin Organization accepted the job. I've confird it through special channels. However, Zhang Bin snatched the check and even killed several of their assassins. I've already had another check issued to them. Black Bell has dispatched a Gold dal Assassin to take him down. He won't survive for three days."
"I'm filled with so much hate…" Lv Jianben was still consud with rage and grief.
He was, of course, very dissatisfied with Si Yangze but dared not voice his complaints, as he couldn't afford to have a falling out with him. After all, he still needed to ask Si Yangze how to cultivate to the Golden Core Late Stage.
Si Yangze naturally did his best to console him. Finally, swallowing his pride, Lv Jianben asked Si Yangze for guidance. He even patted his chest and swore that as long as he reached the Golden Core Late Stage, he would be friends with Si Yangze forever.
In return, Si Yangze nonchalantly shared so secret techniques and key points to be aware of. It was, in essence, an exchange.
At that mont, Zhang Bin was relaxing on a sofa in the Dawang Mountain Villa, his head resting on Mi Yiyao's slender legs. Mi Yiyao was a little shy, as another beauty, Yu Ruman, was sitting on the sofa opposite them.
Yu Ruman had already made arrangents for her parents, moving them to an apartnt at the foot of Mount Dawang, which was within the protective range of Zhang Bin's company's Array Plate. From now on, they would work at his company. As long as they didn't live at their old address, the assassins wouldn't be able to find them. The organization killed based on addresses, and they didn't know what her parents looked like. Moreover, the Assassin Organization's current targets were Zhang Bin and Yu Ruman, so it was unlikely they would mobilize significant resources to hunt for her parents. That would be utterly foolish.
"Brother Bin, you can't be careless," Yu Ruman said, her tone anxious, though her expression remained placid, unfazed by the intimacy between Zhang Bin and Mi Yiyao. "I reckon an assassin will be arriving soon. It's likely to be a powerful Gold dal Assassin; they're all experts at the Golden Core Realm."
"I'm looking forward to their arrival. I'll kill every last one that cos," Zhang Bin replied, a devilish smile spreading across his face. "I could even transfer so True Qi to you and help you reach the Great Perfection of the Liquid Phase. Co sit over here."
Yu Ruman obediently and expressionlessly sat down beside Zhang Bin. He took her delicate hand and began to toy with it. However, Yu Ruman was like an emotionless robot, showing no reaction. She just sat there indifferently, as if nothing was happening. After all, she had been trained as an assassin to be devoid of emotion—or at the very least, devoid of any romantic feelings.
"Transfer so True Qi to . I want to study it," Zhang Bin said suddenly.
"Yes, Brother Bin."
Yu Ruman placed her palm against Zhang Bin's, transferring a small amount of True Qi into the ridians of his palm.
Zhang Bin's Longevity Qi imdiately sward over it, enveloping the cluster of foreign energy. He was scrutinizing the characteristics of the True Qi cultivated with the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill.
HISS HISS HISS...
An intense reaction occurred, like oil hitting a fire. The Deceptive Heavenly Qi was incredibly aggressive, attempting to devour and rge with his Longevity Qi.
However, Zhang Bin's Longevity Qi was far from simple. It was transford from the Spiritual Energy his body absorbed from countless plants, making it exceptionally pure. It also carried a special vitality and a powerful life force, making it difficult for other types of True Qi to assimilate it.
After a brief stalemate, sothing even more miraculous happened. The Deceptive Heavenly Qi gradually grew docile. Then, its properties began to change, and it slowly rged into Zhang Bin's True Qi, becoming a part of it.
Zhang Bin watched, dumbstruck, his face a mask of surprise and disbelief.
This result was completely unexpected. In the past, when he used his Longevity Qi to heal people, it would co into contact with their True Qi, but it never devoured or rged with anyone else's. Why could it rge with the Deceptive Heavenly Qi today? What's the reason? Could it be... could this be a unique characteristic of the Deceptive Heavenly Qi? Does it easily integrate with other True Qi, allowing it to be transferred directly into another person's Dantian? Is that how it can be used to rapidly cultivate powerful experts? Yes, that must be it!
At this thought, Zhang Bin was overjoyed. He had another theory: perhaps Mi Yiyao's True Qi could also rge with the Deceptive Heavenly Qi. If so, the Deceptive Heavenly Qi would be an incredible tonic for other cultivators.
He imdiately began to test his theory, having Mi Yiyao absorb a trace of Yu Ruman's True Qi to see what would happen.
The result ca quickly and was completely different from what Zhang Bin had guessed. The Deceptive Heavenly Qi was terrifying, possessing a bizarre, demonic nature. It began to devour and assimilate Mi Yiyao's True Qi, converting it into new Deceptive Heavenly Qi. Terrified, Mi Yiyao had no choice but to expel it from her body.
The Three Purities True Qi is also very advanced, but it was still devoured and assimilated by the Deceptive Heavenly Qi. It seems only my Longevity Qi can suppress it, alter its nature, and allow it to be devoured and integrated into my own.
Zhang Bin was both delighted and disappointed. He had originally planned to capture several assassins from the Black Bell Organization and use their True Qi to enhance the strength of Mi Yiyao and the others. But now, it seed that wasn't possible.
"Master, it's actually better to cultivate True Qi on your own," Tutu said. "Devouring and rging like this can cause problems. At the very least, if one's ntal state can't keep up, breaking through the next bottleneck becos exceptionally difficult. Only a cultivation genius like you, who has comprehended rit and Heaven-Man Resonance—and has even cultivated Heaven-Man Resonance to the point of enforcing Heaven's will—could properly rge with so of their True Qi. That's because your cultivation realm is high enough."
"What you said makes sense, but it's a bit one-sided," Zhang Bin countered. "If ordinary cultivators could obtain a large amount of True Qi, they could save a lot of cultivation ti. They could then use that extra ti for Dao Comprehension and breaking through bottlenecks. That's why the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill is so significant.
"My main concern now is that the cultivation technique might have underlying problems or defects, which is why I don't want the Taiqing Sect disciples to practice it. I was hoping I could just devour and assimilate the Deceptive Heavenly Qi directly, but alas, that's not possible for them."
"Master, perhaps we could do this..." Tutu proposed an audacious suggestion.
Zhang Bin listened, completely astonished, and then his eyes suddenly lit up
