I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 336 Killing Him Is Just a Small Matter

Upon hearing this, Qi Yetian touched his chin, with a light flashing in the depths of his eyes, as if there was something he couldn't decide.

After a while, Qi Yetian seemed to have made a decision and said, "From what I know, Protector Han Shan has been stuck in the middle stage of the Golden Core for quite some time. You are practicing a gold-based technique, so the White Tiger Blood Pearl will be very useful in helping you break through the realm."

"What do you mean, Elder Ye Tian?" Chai Hanshan's face changed slightly.

“I also practice the gold-based martial arts. In addition to investigating Qi Shilei’s case, I also want to explore the Killing Cave.

If you report your suspicions to Elder Ma, he might use this as an excuse to seal off the Killing Cave, and then have his own men slowly explore it.

What I mean is, we might as well delay for a while, and report it after you and I have explored together without any results." Qi Yetian said.

“But Qi Shilei’s death must be reported to Elder Ma.” Chai Hanshan pondered after hearing this.

"This is easy. Just say that he led people into the killing cave and died inside." Qi Yetian said.

"Then let's do as Elder Ye Tian says. However, joining forces to enter the Killing Cave is no trivial matter. I still need to make some preparations. Besides, the Killing Cave is dangerous, so I would like to invite another companion." Chai Hanshan said.

"More people means stronger strength. This is the best way." Qi Yetian nodded when he heard it, and a hint of annoyance flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He could naturally see that Chai Hanshan was wary of him.

However, it is reasonable for Chai Hanshan to be wary of him, otherwise how could she become the protector of Xuantian Pavilion.

Therefore, Qi Yetian's anger was only fleeting, and he soon remembered another thing: "I still have to find a chance to get rid of Xia Daoming and don't let him grow up."

"Of course. If it weren't for this boy, Qi Shilei wouldn't have died in the Youhuang Ruins! But there is no rush for this matter. When I find a chance in the future, I will kill him." Chai Hanshan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said lightly, as if killing Xia Daoming was just a trivial matter.

"Well, the most urgent thing is the White Tiger Blood Pearl. You should contact your companions as soon as possible. As long as that kid is still in the Youhuang Ruins, killing him is just a small matter." Qi Yetian nodded.
-
As soon as Xia Daoming returned to his residence in Zhilu City, he immediately set up the Daqianyan Escape Formation, and then took out some elixirs and pills to replenish his blood, energy, and magic power and swallowed them.

One day later, Xia Daoming fully recovered. He then took out the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner and sprayed a mouthful of blood on it. He then made several hand gestures and balls of green flames flew out, forming a green flame lotus that held up the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner in the middle of the flame lotus.

The raging green flames were burning the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner.

The black shadows of the flags swayed, black air swirled, and sharp and shrill ghost howling sounds were heard.

Three days and three nights passed like this before Xia Daoming stopped refining the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner.

Xia Daoming looked tired at this time, but his eyes were filled with joy as he looked at the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner in his hand, which was so dark that there was not a trace of other colors, and so deep that it seemed to be able to hook people's souls away, and the flagpole was integrated with the flag.

In the killing cave, the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner devoured a large number of powerful evil spirits and ghosts, and its power expanded rapidly, but the overall strength also became bloated and complicated. All kinds of violent and brutal murderous thoughts surged in and constantly attacked Xia Daoming's soul and mind.

Even though Xia Daoming's consciousness and will were powerful, he was inevitably affected, and the manipulation of the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner was a little awkward.

Therefore, after Xia Daoming returned to his residence in Zhilu City and rested, he immediately performed a blood sacrifice on the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner and refined it with alchemy fire, making the ghosts in the banner more pure and condensed, becoming one with it.

Now, this Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner is not only more powerful, but is also completely under the control of his spiritual consciousness and will not cause any adverse mental impact on him.

Of course, this was also thanks to Xia Daoming's spiritual awareness being comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Otherwise, if it were an evil cultivator at the Golden Core level who dared to release the Soul Banner to devour ghosts and evil spirits so wantonly, his spiritual awareness and thoughts would have probably suffered backlash long ago.

After dealing with the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner, Xia Daoming rested for a day and then took out the Soul Refining Pearl.

This bead also absorbed a large number of evil spirits and ghosts. Now when Xia Daoming took it out, black gas continued to escape from the small holes, transforming into ferocious evil spirits, but were immediately forcibly sucked back. All kinds of shrill ghost cries came from the bead, as if the bead was like a furnace purgatory, constantly refining evil spirits and ghosts.

Xia Daoming placed the Soul Refining Orb in front of his eyes. Golden light flashed in his eyes. He used the Golden Peng Sky Eye Technique to observe the process of the Soul Refining Orb refining the souls and evil spirits into mental power. At the same time, he released his spiritual thoughts and carefully felt the mysterious changes in between.

As time passed, the black gas escaping from the bead became less and less, and the shrill ghost cries became weaker and weaker.

The outward divine consciousness lingered around the beads, inexplicably giving Xia Daoming a slight feeling of palpitations.

It was as if an extremely evil creature was brewing in this bead.

"What is recorded in the classics is true. This soul refining bead can really refine the ghosts and evil spirits into pure spiritual power. Right now, the spiritual power emanating from this bead has already made me feel a little palpitated.

If I further compress the spiritual energy contained in the bead, free up space, and allow the Soul Refining Bead to absorb more evil spirits, then the attack power of this bead on spiritual consciousness and thoughts will certainly be amazing. "

Although his heart was pounding, Xia Daoming was not surprised but happy. He was actually looking forward to entering the killing cave again.

This time, it is not only for the White Tiger Blood Pearl, but also for refining the incredibly powerful Thorn God Pearl.

Of course, there is also the Ten Thousand Snakes Ghost Banner which can further enhance its power.

However, before entering the Killing Cave again, Xia Daoming had to sacrifice blood to refine the soul bead, leaving his own mark on the bead's pure spiritual energy, and using it as a medium to continuously compress this spiritual energy.

Strands of blood escaped from Xia Daoming's body and drilled into the soul refining bead through the densely packed small holes.

Soon, Xia Daoming clearly sensed that spiritual energy.

It became an extension of his spiritual power, but it did not belong to him. It could leave the body and change at will, or it could be discarded without affecting or damaging his spiritual consciousness.

"it is good!"

Seeing that the ancient book method was indeed useful, Xia Daoming quickly began to use his powerful consciousness to continuously compress the spiritual energy in the soul refining bead. The spiritual energy in the bead had not yet been compressed and was already fluffy. With Xia Daoming's powerful consciousness, it was very easy to compress it.

In less than two days, it was compressed to less than one tenth of its original size.

However, if you want to compress it further, the difficulty will increase greatly, and you need to compress and polish it slowly with patience like water dripping through a stone.

Xia Daoming had already expected this, so he was not in a hurry.

What he has to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity of serving in the army to enter the Killing Cave to look for the White Tiger Blood Pearl, absorb enough evil spirits and ghosts into the Soul Refining Pearl, transform them into spiritual energy, and compress the spiritual energy to a certain degree.

As for further compression and polishing to increase its power, that will be done after leaving the Desolate Ruins of the Killing Cave.

Xia Daoming realized that further compression was very difficult and could not be achieved in a short time, so he put away the soul refining bead and practiced his skills to rest.

Another day passed.

Xia Daoming, who had fully recovered, withdrew the Daqianyan Escape Formation.

After removing the formation, Xia Daoming made a special trip to Luo Qian's residence.

Luo Qian went out on patrol four days ago, and Xia Daoming came back empty-handed. However, he got some interesting rumors from Luo Mu, and his expression was quite subtle when he left.

"It was obviously me who killed them. Even if I had planned ahead of time, they died in the wilderness. Why did the people sent by the Qi family and Chai Hanshan insist that Qi Shilei and the two fake alchemy monks died in the killing cave? It's really interesting."

Returning to his residence, Xia Daoming stroked his chin, feeling a little puzzled.

Killing Cave.

A tall and thin figure wearing a tall crown looked down at the darkness below the cave entrance, which seemed like a whirlpool leading to an endless abyss of hell. He could not make up his mind for a long time.

Finally, remembering the news that Qi Shilei and two fake Dan monks also died in there a few days ago, Luo Qian sighed, shook his head, turned and left, his back hunched and lonely.

Although he only had thirty or forty years left to live, he knew it was extremely dangerous and still couldn't bear to go down.

Five days after Luo Qian left, a young figure came to the entrance of the Killing Cave and jumped down without hesitation.

Two days later, two women and one man arrived at the entrance of the Killing Cave.

The man had a blue birthmark on his face, which made him look somewhat ferocious against the dark cave entrance. He was Qi Yetian, the elder of the Qi family.

Both women are in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

The one who looked to be only in her thirties was Chai Hanshan, and the other one who looked a little older was Chai Ling, the elder of the Chai family and also Chai Hanshan’s aunt.

This woman's magical power seems to be even more powerful than Chai Hanshan's.

Qi Yetian glanced at the two women and said, "Let's go in."

After saying that, Qi Yetian stepped into the cave entrance first.

"Be careful of this person. If something goes wrong in there, just go ahead and don't worry about me. I don't have much time left anyway." Chai Ling sent a message to Chai Hanshan, then he sacrificed his protective magic weapon and stepped into the cave with Chai Hanshan.

Three days later.

Three figures with pale faces and disheveled hair flew out of the killing cave.

"This killing cave is really extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the three of us worked together to escape danger several times. However, there are too many branches inside, and it is too complicated. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. Each time, you can only support it for about three days at most before you have to evacuate and rest.

In this case, let alone the depths of the Killing Cave, even the relatively peripheral branches would take a year or two to search through, with multiple ins and outs." Standing at the entrance of the cave, Chai Hanshan looked at the dark vortex, feeling terrified and hesitant.

"The White Tiger Blood Pearl can help you cross the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and even help Elder Qi to spy on the Nascent Soul Avenue. How can it be found smoothly and easily? It must be time-consuming and laborious, and it must be very dangerous, and you must have luck to find it.

If you can't even bear this little danger and hardship, then you might as well give up the pursuit of a higher path now, enjoy life, and don't even think about the late Jindan stage. As for the Yuanying path, don't even think about it. "Chai Ling felt that her niece was retreating and wavering, and her pale face suddenly darkened, and she said seriously.

"What Elder Chai Ling said is correct. For cultivators like us who are not born with natural talents, how can we go further on the path of cultivation without taking risks? If the three of us join forces, we can resist a little even if we face the Nascent Soul Ancestor. For us, the real danger of this killing cave is in the depths.

The deepest point we have walked through in the past three days is at most the middle of the killing cave. If we are lucky, it would be best if we can find the White Tiger Blood Pearl within this range. If not, if we really want to go deeper, we may have to make more preparations by then. "Qi Yetian said solemnly.

"Hanshan has learned your lesson!" After listening to what the two said, the hesitant and wavering look in Chai Hanshan's eyes gradually disappeared and turned into determination.

"Let's go back and rest first!" Qi Yetian nodded and said.

Soon, the three disappeared into the darkness.

Five days after the three men left, Xia Daoming rushed out of the killing cave with a tired look on his face.

All in all, he stayed in the Killing Cave for seven days longer than the other three.
