Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

The door to the magpie's nest was slowly pushed open.

A strong, pungent stench was carried into the room by the night wind.

Deng Deng Deng!

The group hurriedly descended the stairs, but before they even reached the first floor, Sister Hua stumbled, her face turning pale as she covered her mouth and nose.

Her pupils constricted as she stared intently at the tall figure in the doorway.

In the flickering candlelight, the young man's handsome face was illuminated by shifting light and shadow, and his eyes held a hint of weariness.

But the clothes, soaked and clinging to the skin and drenched in blood, sent a chill down one's spine for no apparent reason.

"what!"

The girls crowded in the stairwell, and some of the more timid ones couldn't help but gasp softly.

The glaring crimson brought back the scene they had just witnessed.

Those were terrifying images that I couldn't help but have nightmares about even months later.

The young man, empty-handed, fought his way from one end of the alley to the other, leaving no survivors... not even complete corpses were common.

They fought their way out and created a path to survival for themselves!

"Lin, Master Lin?"

Sister Hua loosened her grip and called out tremblingly.

Only after the other party nodded did she struggle to get up from the stairs, angrily shouting at the people behind her, "What are you all standing there for, you brainless idiots? Hurry up and prepare bathwater for Master Lin!"

What seemed like a shouting match actually brought many of the girls back to their senses.

The relief of surviving the ordeal brought forth sobs throughout the house.

"A bunch of worthless bastards! They didn't cry when they were about to die, but now they're crying their eyes out to Master Lin!"

Sister Hua sighed helplessly. She turned around again, and in addition to fear, her eyes held a deep sense of awe.

Hongyun Martial Arts School is indeed rich and powerful, able to make way for them from both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

But Master Lin didn't need anyone else to back him up; killing this group of people was easier than killing chickens!

Moreover, even in terms of power...

Everyone in Qingliu Lane witnessed the young man slapping the old constable!

Once dawn breaks and this news spreads, even the most violent and desperate criminals will probably not dare to cause trouble at Magpie's Nest again.

"It's alright, nothing's wrong."

Lin Shu glanced at the old cripple in front of her, whose eyes were red and whose lips were trembling with excitement.

She was genuinely afraid that the other person would rush up and grope her again.

Old Yang was ordered to guard the gate, and he really did stand guard at the door with two kitchen knives in his arms, looking like he was ready to die.

He neither went out to cause trouble nor cared about the broken thing in his hand, which was ridiculous to the disciples of Hongyun Martial Arts School.

"I'm a little tired, I'm going upstairs to rest for a while."

"..."

Old Yang watched Lin Shu go upstairs, still unwilling to let go of the kitchen knife in his hand.

Compared to the youth's relaxed demeanor, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The other person seemed to be in a state of weakness.

It felt like I was back in the old days of the opera troupe in the southern suburbs, with that feeling of being on the verge of death at any moment.

Thinking of this, a rare fierce glint flashed in Old Yang's eyes, which were usually filled with humility.

After Lin Shu went upstairs, he stepped to the top of the stairs and sat down, clutching a comical kitchen knife.

The old cripple closed his eyes, standing like a stone block, guarding the way upstairs.

……

inside the house.

Lin Shu took off her blood-stained clothes and leaned naked against the chair.

He closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the gradual loss of vitality in his body, as if he had aged considerably.

For a young and strong person, this feeling is quite novel.

"interesting."

Lin Shu twitched the corners of her mouth and opened her eyes to look at the two kinds of coins in her hand.

He wasn't too nervous.

If the mist on her body was a bargaining chip, then Lin Shu had done her best and won enough.

It's possible that someone else could have done it better.

As for whether or not he can successfully extend his life, that's up to fate.

"bring it on."

Lin Shu looked down at the little wolf in her heart, then waved her hand and summoned the pair of "chicken wings".

While the Moon-Splitting Bone Hand was indeed powerful, he was currently powerless to use it, even if the immortal technique was incredibly strong.

He grasped the warm, white jade coin and tossed it into the pair of blue wings.

[Having consumed eight merits, one's immortal body has not yet solidified, yet an opportunity for sudden enlightenment is granted.]

Lin Shu was taken aback when she saw the prompt in front of her.

As good deeds were invested, the green energy gradually became complete, transforming into a blurry little sparrow.

Then, it suddenly flapped its wings and crashed straight into Lin Shu's forehead.

At the same time, dense texts unfolded in his mind, like a painting.

[Qi Refining Stage 8. Azure Bird Qi Guiding Technique: Not Yet Entered]

"..."

Visualizing those dense characters, Lin Shu's mind felt like it was exploding.

He never uttered a sound when he was whipped before.

At that moment, his face showed a bitter expression, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The bluebird melted away after it entered the space between the eyebrows.

Instead, a long, slender feather floated down and landed lightly on Lin Shu's leg.

"Are you an incarnation of this immortal technique?"

Lin Shu felt a splitting headache and, without thinking, continued to feed the remaining jade coins into the food.

As white light surged into the feathers, the previously obscure words in his mind suddenly disintegrated, transforming into lifelike images.

A bluebird alights on a branch and sings towards the sea of ​​clouds.

The cry was clear and crisp, and wisps of white mist gradually appeared in the sky.

In that instant, Lin Shu felt as if her five senses had been reopened.

He also saw the white mist drifting around him and could even clearly smell a sweet fragrance.

A strong sense of urgency arose in my heart.

I want to incorporate these things into myself!

The jade coins transformed into rays of light one after another, causing the prompt to gradually change.

[Qi Refining Stage 8. Azure Bird Qi Guiding Technique: Minor Success]

The twelve merits not only allowed this immortal technique to skip the entry level and reach the minor completion level, but also helped Lin Shu summon the surrounding white mist.

"call."

Lin Shu was no longer as agitated as she had been when feeding him the money.

I felt my fatigue being washed away quickly.

Centered on the white wolf phantom, the remaining 30% of the gray mist that sustained his life seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand and then kneaded into a more solid stream of air.

"Is this the spiritual power that woman spoke of?"

Lin Shu reached out her fingertip and gently touched the wisp of white air, her eyes gradually filled with joy.

According to the immortal teachings, the manifestation of this wisp of spiritual power signifies that one has officially stepped into the threshold of cultivation.

Become a Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator!

The lingering effects of the good deed were still in effect, and the spiritual energy in the surrounding world quickly gathered and condensed into a new flow of energy.

Lin Shu continued to replenish the energy until she reached ten strands, at which point she began to lose control, and the surrounding spiritual energy slowly dissipated.

"I see."

He closed his eyes and continued to digest the information contained in the immortal technique.

The previous feeling of aging had long since disappeared. Now, Lin Shu felt light all over, as if her entire body had undergone a transformation.

"His life has been extended, but unfortunately he's only at the eighth rank."

He sighed, slightly dissatisfied.

Immortal arts are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.

The Azure Bird Qi-Guiding Technique is the last one.

The lower three grades are all methods for the initial stage of Qi cultivation. Among them, the seventh grade can absorb thirty units of Qi, while the eighth grade absorbs less, with a maximum of only twenty units.

However, his own skill was only at a minor level, so ten strands was his limit.
