Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

After all, this corpse king was too powerful and could not be defeated. Staying here would only lead to death.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling immediately took out the jade talisman on his waist and prepared to activate it to leave this dangerous place. However, at this moment, something strange happened.

call!
A chilly wind suddenly blew past. Then, a thick black fog spread out from the passage. The black fog spread rapidly like a tide, instantly enveloping all the zombies.

"Oh no! This is demonic energy!"

Yang Ling's pupils shrank, and a look of deep shock appeared on his face. This evil spirit was extremely special, full of the smell of decay, coldness, and death. And the number of them was simply beyond imagination.

After a while, all the zombies were wrapped in black fog, and their figures gradually became blurred.

Then, in the center of the black fog, an illusory human figure slowly emerged. The figure was extremely blurry, as if transparent, making it difficult to see clearly. But the aura he exuded made Yang Ling feel terrified.

"What the hell is this?"

At this moment, Yang Ling's heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. He quickly put away the jade talisman in his hand, fearing that it would be detected by this mysterious power.

The figure in the black fog slowly formed a hideous face.

The face had a strange look, with bulging veins crawling on the skin like earthworms. There were also wisps of green smoke lingering around it, which looked extremely weird.

"Damn it! There really is a dark secret hidden here!"

Yang Ling's face was as gloomy as water, and he cursed secretly in his heart.

At this time, the entire corridor was filled with demonic energy, as if it had turned into a horrible hell.

Suddenly, a shrill howl came from the evil spirit.

Immediately afterwards, more and more zombies screamed under the erosion of evil energy, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared.

And this was just the beginning. Within a short moment, all the zombies except the zombie king died in the evil energy.

"It is worthy of being the Immortal King's Cave! It can actually breed such a powerful demonic energy!"

After witnessing the power of the Corpse King and the strange scene here, Yang Ling's face became more and more ugly. He quickly circulated the energy in his body, trying to resist the erosion of the evil spirit.

Rumble!
At the same time, Qin Mingyu on the other side was also attacked fiercely by evil spirit.

Yang Ling was horrified upon seeing this, and rushed to Qin Mingyu's side, fighting alongside him to resist the invasion of the evil spirit.

In Yang Ling's opinion, without his help, Qin Mingyu would not be able to hold on for too long.

Fortunately, although the demonic energy here is strong, it is not enough to pose a threat.

A feeling of burning heat suddenly came over him, making Qin Mingyu feel as if he was in a raging fire.

At the same time, the emergence of demonic energy made his heart tremble, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort arose spontaneously.

At this critical moment, Qin Mingyu suddenly felt that there seemed to be some kind of foreign object in his body. He was extremely shocked and muttered to himself: "This... could it be a demon seed?" He turned his head suddenly and shouted to Yang Ling beside him, "Yang Ling, look! These demonic energies have actually invaded my body!"

Yang Ling was also shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Master, are you saying that these evil spirits can actively enter your body? Is there a dark hand behind it, trying to take over your body?"

Qin Mingyu's guess made Yang Ling's heart tremble. He hurriedly concentrated his attention and looked carefully, but did not detect any dangerous atmosphere. He shook his head in confusion and said, "Sir, did you sense it wrongly? I didn't find anything unusual here."

However, Qin Mingyu still looked solemn, insisted on his own judgment, and begged Yang Ling to examine his body carefully.

“Is this an illusion? Or is it that these evil spirits have hallucination-inducing abilities that have caused me to have illusions?” Yang Ling’s mind raced as he tried to find a reasonable explanation, but he ultimately rejected this speculation.

Because, if Qin Mingyu was really trapped in an illusion, he would never be able to remain so calm and indifferent.

After careful consideration, Yang Ling decided to trust Qin Mingyu's intuition. He no longer hesitated and gently placed his hand on Qin Mingyu's shoulder, intending to check his physical condition before making a decision.

But at the moment the two of them came into contact, an unparalleled force suddenly burst out from Qin Mingyu's body!
With a loud bang, Qin Mingyu and Yang Ling were blown away at the same time like leaves blown by the wind, and fell heavily in a corner hundreds of meters away.

"Ahem... Sir, are you okay? What happened just now?" Yang Ling struggled to stand up, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Qin Mingyu blankly.

Qin Mingyu roared, his eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness: "These evil spirits can corrode people's intelligence, make people fall into endless illusions, and turn them into machines that only know how to kill!"

Yang Ling's heart sank when he heard this. He realized that Qin Mingyu might have really been attacked by the devil's energy. If his guess was true, then the situation would be terrible.

At this moment, the demonic energy around began to grow thicker, gradually condensing into a mist that completely blocked the vision.

"The demonic energy here seems to be getting stronger!" Yang Ling looked at Qin Mingyu who had lost his mind and was in a dilemma.

Should we try to save Qin Mingyu, or let him fend for himself in this place where evil energy is rampant?

While Yang Ling was hesitating, Qin Mingyu had already launched a fierce attack on him like a raging beast. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body exuded a suffocating murderous aura. His right fist swung out like a violent storm, with a whistling sound that broke through the air and rushed straight towards Yang Ling.

Yang Ling didn't dare to confront him head-on, so he dodged quickly.

At the same time, he mobilized the true energy in his body to the extreme, and slapped out with his palm, colliding head-on with Qin Mingyu's iron fist.

Boom!
The moment the two collided, a deafening roar broke out, as if thunder was falling from the sky.

Yang Ling was pushed back repeatedly by this huge force and almost lost his balance.

But Qin Mingyu seemed tireless and swung his fist at him again.

His speed was as fast as lightning, and his fists made a whistling sound, which made Yang Ling frown.

Yang Ling quickly crossed his hands in front of his chest, trying to resist Qin Mingyu's fierce attack.

Bang! After a loud bang, Qin Mingyu's fist hit Yang Ling's arms hard. The huge force knocked Yang Ling back dozens of meters, and he almost hit the stone wall behind him.

"Damn it, how come this guy suddenly became so strong!" Yang Ling felt a sharp pain, and even with his physical strength he couldn't help but grimace.

But Qin Mingyu didn't give him any chance to breathe and rushed up again.

Huh... A strong wind suddenly blew up, sweeping up the yellow sand all over the sky, completely covering the originally dark space. Waves of cold and bone-chilling cold air spread out, making people shudder.

In front of Yang Ling, Qin Mingyu's figure appeared again, his eyes filled with endless resentment and hatred, and he was slowly walking towards him.

Qin Mingyu raised his right hand and slapped Yang Ling hard.

Yang Ling's face changed drastically. He waved the sword in his hand to try to resist, but the sword was broken in an instant by Qin Mingyu's huge force.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Mingyu's left hand punched out, causing Yang Ling to spit out blood and fly backwards in a miserable state.

Qin Mingyu slowly withdrew his left hand and looked down at Yang Ling who was lying on the ground. At this moment, his eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, like a ferocious beast.

He showed no intention of stopping and continued to chase Yang Ling and attack him fiercely. Every attack made Yang Ling's injuries more serious.

"Boy, no matter what weird things are hidden here, I will take your life today!" Yang Ling saw that he was increasingly at a disadvantage and growled with gritted teeth.

Then, he took out an ancient talisman from the storage ring. There were five runes engraved on the talisman, and each rune represented a powerful sealing technique.

The reason why Yang Ling chose this talisman was because it contained an extremely powerful force, enough to suppress Qin Mingyu, who had now lost his mind. He took a deep breath and crushed the talisman.

Suddenly, the void began to tremble, and layers of golden ripples spread out. When these ripples approached Qin Mingyu, they instantly turned into countless tiny chains, tightly entangling him.

The chains bound Qin Mingyu's body layer by layer, and then a circle of dazzling golden light wrapped him up completely.

Under the shining of the golden light, Qin Mingyu's eyes gradually became clear. He stared at Yang Ling in front of him with wide eyes, revealing an expression of surprise and confusion.

"This...what's going on? Why am I tied up?" Qin Mingyu muttered to himself in confusion. His mind was in a mess at the moment.

But soon, he realized that he might have been tricked! Seeing Qin Mingyu regain consciousness, Yang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Mingyu looked at Yang Ling with confusion, not knowing what had happened to him.

"You're finally awake." Yang Ling said with a smile.

"I...what's wrong with me?" Qin Mingyu asked with a frown, his face full of confusion.

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and replied, "Do you really not remember what you looked like just now?"

"Oh, by the way, I seem to be infected by evil spirits and fall into an illusion!" Qin Mingyu said with sudden enlightenment after trying hard to recall.

"Since you remember it, don't resist now." Yang Ling sighed and advised, "I am going to seal the evil spirit in your body now, you must not resist."

Qin Mingyu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

After all, Yang Ling was trying to help him, and he was embarrassed to refuse.

So he sat on the ground obediently and waited for Yang Ling to perform the sealing technique.

Yang Ling was seen injecting his true essence into Qin Mingyu's body continuously, which surprised Qin Mingyu.

But out of trust in Yang Ling, he chose to close his eyes and wait quietly for the end of the seal.

Swish! A brilliant golden light suddenly lit up in the cave, and Yang Ling slashed out a sharp sword with the sword in hand.

Wherever the sword energy passed, a deep crack was left on the ground. However, the sword energy did not disappear, but was tightly attached to Qin Mingyu's body.

Hiss, hiss, hiss... As time passed, Qin Mingyu's body began to emit a light blue fluorescence, which was a sign that the sealing technique was taking effect.

Qin Mingyu could clearly sense that Yang Ling was sealing the evil energy in his body, and he didn't dare to move at all.

"Hmm?" Qin Mingyu suddenly realized that the demonic energy that was raging in his body was gradually decreasing, and there were also traces of strange gases blending into his body. Although these gases made him feel unfamiliar, he vaguely felt a sense of closeness.

When the dim fluorescence on Qin Mingyu's body no longer glowed and was replaced by a faint blue light, Yang Ling knew that his seal had been initially stabilized.

"Your body is really special. It can even absorb the demonic energy!" Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh.

After about half an hour, Qin Mingyu slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the evil energy in his body had been completely sealed. Although there was still a trace of evil energy floating outside, it no longer posed much of a threat.

This result made Qin Mingyu feel extremely happy.

"Thank you!" Qin Mingyu stood up, his temperament and eyes were completely different from before. He sincerely thanked Yang Ling. Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, we are friends."

Qin Mingyu knew very well that Yang Ling took the huge risk of being attacked by evil spirits in order to save him, and he was filled with gratitude towards him.

After Yang Ling made sure that Qin Mingyu was safe, he proposed to leave this horrible place with him.

After all, this place is full of unknowns and dangers, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

When the two were about to leave, they unexpectedly discovered something. There was a Tongtian grass growing not far from them!
"Such a rich spiritual energy!" Yang Ling's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He could clearly feel the extremely rich spiritual energy fluctuations around the Tongtian Grass.

The spiritual energy was so pure and rich that it even surpassed the spiritual spring stored in his mustard seed space, which was breathtaking.

As for Tongtian Grass, this legendary rare and precious herb, once taken, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity to change one's fate. For this reason, Yang Ling approached Tongtian Grass without hesitation, intending to pick it.

"This Tongtian grass is yours." Yang Ling generously handed the Tongtian grass to Qin Mingyu, then turned around, his eyes fixed on another Tongtian grass, and walked towards it with firm steps.

The two were about to pick the Tongtian grass and leave, but at this critical moment, Yang Ling's feet suddenly softened, as if he stepped on something foreign. He was startled and looked down.

"Huh? What is this?" Qin Mingyu squatted down and reached out to touch it. It turned out to be a jet-black egg covered with mysterious runes, emitting a frightening energy fluctuation.

"Could it be... a demon thing?" Qin Mingyu's eyes narrowed and his expression became serious.

Yang Ling shook his head and said thoughtfully: "No, this is more like some kind of relic. Although the demons are known for their strong bodies, they also cultivate their spirits. This egg may be the spirit fetus left behind by a powerful demon." (End of this chapter)
