Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect Chapter 11: Killing Curse
The next day, Lü Yang waited in his cave dwelling for an entire day.
No one ca.
The three black-clothed n seed as if they weren't disciples of the Primordial Saint Sect at all, not causing the slightest ripple; no one even ca to check on the situation.
Lü Yang sighed once more.
He wouldn't doubt that the Primordial Saint Sect, which possessed the Life Lamps of all its disciples, hadn't discovered the deaths of the three.
Now, thinking about it, perhaps "mutual killing among disciples" was an unspoken rule.
As long as it didn't escalate and beco widely known, no one would investigate thoroughly.
After all, the demonic sects were unpredictable and hard to fathom.
Soone died—perhaps to silence them, perhaps for wealth, or perhaps they learned sothing they shouldn't have.
What if an investigation truly uncovered sothing?
So, it's better not to investigate.
"No wonder it's called the Primordial Saint Sect."
After sighing, Lü Yang felt at ease and began collecting the spoils of battle.
First were the disciples' tokens.
What shocked Lü Yang was that the tokens of the three black-clothed n contained a total of 400 contribution points, an unusually high amount.
"So, they were repeat offenders."
Lü Yang frowned and searched further.
Apart from miscellaneous items, only a secret manual titled "Qi Concealnt Technique" caught his attention.
After all, in Lü Yang's view, these three black-clothed n were very skilled at concealing their true qi.
If it weren't for his breakthrough in cultivation, which brought a qualitative leap in both true qi and spiritual sense, he might not have detected their infiltration.
This demonstrated the power of the "Qi Concealnt Technique," a true trump card.
"More importantly, this has nothing to do with the Primordial Saint Sect!"
The sect's cultivation thods were only recorded in the disciples' tokens.
The "Qi Concealnt Technique," however, was a secret manual, indicating it was likely a personal opportunity of the three black-clothed n.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about the sect having a way to counter it.
"Truly, a pillow cos when one is sleepy. Their deaths were worthwhile!"
Thinking this, Lü Yang sincerely collected the corpses of the three, dug a pit, and buried them, allowing them to rest in peace.
Then, he suddenly thought:
"This 'Qi Concealnt Technique' is so exquisite, and it's not passed down by the sect. Where did they get it? Could there be an even greater opportunity behind this?"
In an instant, Lü Yang's thoughts beca active.
But he quickly restrained his greed, his gaze returning to calmness:
"No rush, no rush. Perhaps in the next life, I can befriend these three."
There will always be opportunities!
After laying the three to rest, Lü Yang took out his disciple token and began checking the materials needed for refining a Sword Pill, as previously told by Yun Miaoqing.
"To refine a Sword Pill, one needs three taels of Gold Essence, three taels of Jade Marrow, two taels of Cinnabar, and two taels of Sword Qi, totaling ten taels. Then, using true fire and divine water to temper and cool, impurities are removed. Finally, with secret sword techniques, it's slowly refined to rge with the refiner's essence, qi, and spirit, thus truly completing the refinent."
As Lü Yang recalled the thod for refining a Sword Pill, he browsed the item catalog.
The more he looked, the darker his expression beca.
"Gold Essence and Jade Marrow, Cinnabar and Sword Qi, all priced uniformly at 100 contribution points per tael. True Water, 500 contribution points per gourd. True Fire, 500 contribution points per strand."
"2000 contribution points!?"
Lü Yang gritted his teeth.
He had heard from Yun Miaoqing that disciples of the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion would receive a Sword Pill from their elders upon breaking through Qi Refining.
Yet, in the Primordial Saint Sect, it required 2000 contribution points?
An ordinary disciple would have to toil for the sect for twenty years without eating or drinking to accumulate that many contribution points!
Damn demonic sect!
Such exorbitant prices instantly extinguished Lü Yang's pride from his recent windfall, making him realize once again that he was still a pauper.
"In this case, 400 contribution points are sowhat useless."
According to Lü Yang's plan, after restarting in the next life, he would choose cultivation.
Therefore, whatever he obtained in this life couldn't be taken with him.
Thus, no matter what good items he bought with these 400 contribution points, they would be aningless to him.
As for cultivation, the difference between mid and early Qi Refining was significant.
Even if he spent all 400 contribution points, it wouldn't be enough to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
"It seems I can only exchange them for cultivation thods."
After all, compared to treasures, cultivation thods and divine abilities, as knowledge, could be carried into the next life.
Thinking this, Lü Yang imdiately left his cave dwelling and headed to the Library Pavilion.
"Yo, it's you again?"
The old man at the entrance of the Library Pavilion actually rembered Lü Yang, showing a surprised expression:
"You're here to exchange for cultivation thods again? Looks like you've struck it rich."
"Thanks for the kind words, Senior Brother."
Lü Yang cupped his hands and then walked into the Library Pavilion.
This ti, he had a clear intention: to find a powerful divine ability specifically for desperate situations.
Soon, Lü Yang locked onto his target.
"'Killing Curse': 300 contribution points."
This divine ability was very special, resembling the Buddhist practice of silent ditation.
It required the practitioner to nurture a breath of killing intent in their chest, refining it day and night with true qi, intertwining it with their life.
Normally, it wouldn't affect speech.
But when needed, upon opening the mouth and uttering "Kill!", the accumulated killing intent would instantly burst forth, shaking souls and spirits, unstoppable.
However, once this breath of killing intent was expended, the person would also die, making it a thod of mutual destruction.
"Not bad. It can kill others and also serve as a ans of suicide. Perfect for !"
Possessing the Book of a Hundred Lifetis, Lü Yang's greatest fear wasn't death but being unable to die, as the book couldn't be activated voluntarily and only worked upon his death.
Therefore, he desperately needed a self-destructive divine ability.
After exchanging for the cultivation thod from the Library Pavilion, Lü Yang imdiately sat cross-legged and began comprehending the technique.
"'Killing Curse' involves hiding qi in the chest. The most important aspect is this breath of killing intent. The higher its quality, the more powerful the 'Killing Curse' will be upon activation."
"As the saying goes, when heaven initiates killing intent, stars shift; when earth initiates killing intent, dragons and snakes rise; when humans initiate killing intent, heaven and earth overturn. Thus, killing intent in the world is divided into three types: heavenly, earthly, and human. Among them, heavenly and earthly killing intents are rare, encountered once in a century, while human killing intent is ubiquitous, with the aura of weapons being the most superior."
Inside the Library Pavilion, Lü Yang began refining the killing intent.
"Fortunately, I have the necessary materials on hand."
So-called human killing intent mostly cos from weapons used by those harboring murderous intent.
Coincidentally, he still had the weapons from the three black-clothed n.
Lü Yang directly extracted the killing intent from them, gradually refining it into his body.
In an instant, Lü Yang felt as if a thousand blades were scraping his bones and flesh in his chest, the pain unbearable.
Yet, he tightly clenched his teeth, not daring to open his mouth.
Because this was the critical mont of refinent.
If he opened his mouth and let the qi escape, he would surely die instantly!
After a long ti, Lü Yang finally felt the killing intent in his chest gradually stabilize, completely rging with his true qi.
With a single thought, it could erupt.
"I wonder how powerful it is..."
Thinking this, a trace of anticipation appeared on Lü Yang's face.
He decided that before dying in this life, he must use the 'Killing Curse' once to see its power.
Returning to the entrance of the Library Pavilion, Lü Yang was surprised to find the old man there cursing loudly.
"That damned lucky bastard..."
The old man held a disciple token, his wrinkled hands trembling uncontrollably.
His old face twisted, unable to express his emotions clearly.
Lü Yang approached curiously:
"Senior Brother? What happened?"
"What happened?" The old man glared angrily upon hearing this, fiercely throwing the disciple token to the ground and sneering:
"It's all over the place. See for yourself."
Before his words fell, the old man reclined back into his rocking chair, sulking.
Lü Yang was puzzled until he opened his own disciple token and saw the latest news, finally understanding what had happened.
"The Grand Prize of the rit Pool Finally Has a Winner!"
"The colorful rit fish was drawn by the newly inducted disciple Xiao Shiye. A true person awarded him a ten-billion prize on the spot. After receiving the prize, Xiao Shiye went into seclusion, whereabouts unknown!"
