Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Qin Yi didn’t expect Ye Ling to rush in. He jumped down quickly, supported Ye Ling and asked, “Why did you come in… how do you feel?”

Ye Ling was silent for a moment before replying, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I can’t change back to human form.”

Qin Yi heard nothing unusual about her voice and felt a little more at ease. The beastkins in the skirmish before really didn’t show sign of agony. Maybe it is not as painful as the beastkin refining array that extracts beastkin pellet? It is probably just to bait the beastkins in and extract their blood?

But if this is the case, how to deal with those beastkins?

Qin Yi carefully examined the stele.

“Refining People to Nourish Yourself. Only two chapters out of nine chapters.”

The first chapter talks about how to arrange the array for refining beastkins to obtain pellets. The chapter emphasized that by killing beastkins to obtain pellets would lose the life essence of the pellets, which was a waste. It was best to lure the beastkin into an array and extract the pellet alive. The chapter didn’t mention how to lure. It seemed that Dong Huazi’s beastkin transformation miasma was another method.

But just in this chapter alone, the cruelty and malice in the words were too horrible to read. Qin Yi felt cold all over, and Ye Ling’s snake body couldn’t help trembling as if recalling extremely painful past events.

The second chapter talked about the array for refining beastkin blood essence, which was the current array. A large amount of beastkin blood was needed. One pool of beastkin blood might be able to extract one drop of beastkin blood essence, so thousands of beastkin needed to be killed. To cultivate the lotus beastkin, only refined blood was needed. The real essence would be absorbed by the beastkin one raised, just like the method of quenching blood and tempering the body of a human being. The article specifically emphasized that if there were ancient alien species, such as Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise (Xuanwu), Shenghuang… Flying Serpent, etc., extracting the essence of their blood would often have endless magical uses.

At the end, there was a regret that only two chapters were left. The remaining ingenious seven chapters were nowhere to be found…

Qin Yi knew why the peach flew to Ye Ling. The master of this place must have discovered a Flying Serpent and wanted to refine it!

Ye Ling’s body was trembling, and her eyes were red.

A feeling of extreme anger surged from her heart and flowed through her blood. Her blood seemed to be burning and boiling. She wanted to kill someone.

Qin Yi also felt sad. What the hell… I originally thought the master here is some kind of reclusive noble cultivator, but refining others for his own selfish use, he is clearly a vicious and self-interested bastard!

Liu Su suddenly said, “There is a backdoor in this code.”

“Huh?” Qin Yi was stunned.

“This array contains code. Once one practices this technique, when he successfully builds the tao embryo, he will be refined to death and the tao embryo will be taken away. Be reminded that this is refining people to nourish yourself, not refining beastkin to nourish yourself. This is basically targeting humans. If Dong Huazi is not killed by Li Qinglin, he will be seeking death if he continues like this. Regardless of whether the following chapters are missing or not, they cannot be shown, because they are all about the techniques of refining people.”

Qin Yi let out a long breath. He originally thought that Dong Huazi was already a very vicious person, but he didn’t expect that compared to the master here, he was simply a pure and cute newbie. No wonder someone is so generous to engrave his own techniques on the outside for people to learn. He clearly has bad intentions!

This man is the culprit of everything. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the mastermind behind the incident in South Li Kingdom. Now he even wants to refine Ye Ling to death!

.

Malice surged in Qin Yi’s heart. If you want to refine Ye Ling to death, then don’t blame us for ruining you…

He read the stele again, remembered a certain key point, and smashed the stele into pieces with the mace, “We can’t leave it to harm people anymore.”

Ye Ling whispered, “Thank you, brother.”

“Want to take revenge?” Qin Yi asked in a low voice.

Ye Ling suddenly turned his head, with Qin Yi’s eyes filled with ferocity that he never had before, “I’m going to kill him!”

“Can’t beat them.” Qin Yi turned around and looked at the dust stirred by the incoming beastkins.

The time to read the inscription was actually very short, which was just a few seconds, but the beastkins were already very close. He said hurriedly, “Go get the Blood Lotus. If you have the chance, take the blood essence underneath, and then run. Run out of this area and hide. This is the best revenge. I’ll handle the beastkins.”

Ye Ling was stunned, “Brother, you…”

“I will channel the array. I can’t do that if you are here, so go.”

“Brother, be careful.” Ye Ling gritted her teeth, turned around quickly, flew past the blood pool in the blink of an eye, and picked off the Blood Lotus.

At the same time, a whirlpool suddenly rolled up in the pool, while a dragon roar sounded. A strong suction pulled Ye Ling into the pool.

Everything was just in the blink of an eye, and Qin Yi couldn’t even help in time.

“Roar!” A tiger beastkin had already approached and pounced on the back of Qin Yi’s neck.

Countless beastkins had caught up!

Qin Yi no longer had time to look in the direction of Ye Ling. He avoided several spells, reached into the hole at the bottom of the giant tree, and found an array stone core.

Before destroying the stele, he had already found what he was looking for in the chapters.

After all, he had been learning how to set up formations, so he had mastered the key points very quickly.

With a ‘creak’, the meridians-like array patterns suddenly became a little bulging.

The tiger beastkin’s claws were already on Qin Yi’s shoulders. He could smell the fishy stench from its mouth.

There were countless beastkin creatures surrounding him on the left and right. He had no room to dodge anymore!

At the critical moment!

The tiger beastkin suddenly let out a fierce roar, and then its movement stopped. It looked extremely painful.

Qin Yi stood up slowly. With a gentle push, the tiger beastkin fell to the ground. All the beastkins surrounding him, including those gathered from all over the hill, were rolling on the ground in agony.

Qin Yi took a few quick breaths. That was so close. Fortunately, there is no delay in the array activation, otherwise I would surely be dead…

The peach was just a foreign object, not part of the array. It was made by the master to use it together with the array. The array itself had some means of restricting beastkins. Even the pellet extracting array in the first chapter had this function, so the second chapter must have it. The master deliberately turned off this function and replaced it with the peach to make them fight to their death so that he could extract their blood.

Qin Yi could naturally activate this function.

He looked at the wailing beastkins monsters all over the place.

This scene of countless beastkins wailing was very moving, but Qin Yi found that he had no sympathy at this time.

These beastkins were not Ye Ling. Their first reaction when seeing humans was to eat. His speed was not that good. If Ye Ling didn’t bring him while running, they would have devoured him without leaving any bone.

As Ming He said, there was nothing to sympathize with if the opponent was not of the same race.

Qin Yi crossed the slope and rushed to the edge of the pool. At a glance, he saw a fierce whirlpool rolling up in the middle of the blood pool. It seemed that something was stirring up the space below. There was a faint dragon roar, accompanied by Ye Ling’s painful groan.

There is a guardian under the pond! Ye Ling was dragged down while taking the Blood Lotus!

Qin Yi blamed himself for being careless. I only thought that there are beastkins outside. I didn’t expect a guardian to be lurking under this calm pool…

Shit, how do I help now? The blood pool is dark and sticky. If I jump in, I will be blind. My movement will be very sluggish too. Wouldn’t I add chaos if I jumped in?

Liu Su said, “There is a Blood Scaled Dragon. It should be the spiritual pet of the master. The blood essence is collected to nourish it.”

“What level?”

“The peak of Morph Stage, about to break through. This is the strength that can compete with Ming He. Ye Ling is far from being its opponent. Relying on speed only is probably hard to survive…”

Qin Yi stamped his feet and shouted into the pool, “Ye Ling, lead it up. I can still help.” 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Only the whirlpool of the blood pool could be seen. The sound of fierce fighting could be vaguely heard below. The thick blood actually made a clear clattering sound. Ye Ling rushed up with the whirlpool covered in blood. At the same time, a blood-red dragon head followed behind, and Ye Ling got sucked back in again.

Just as Qin Yi lifted the mace, the dragon and the snake went back into the pool again.

He had no choice but to wait with his mace raised, hoping to hit the dragon head directly the next time it came out.

As he was anxious, he suddenly felt something flying over from the sky.

He looked up and saw a peach.

What’s going on with this peach?

“Don’t care about what’s going on. This is your last chance.” Liu Su said hurriedly, “I will teach you a chapter of Clear Heart Code to avoid being affected by this peach, then we will rely on this peach from now on!”
