Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: I Possess the Heavenly Book of Merit

Li Lingying turned her head away, unable to bear seeing this scene.

Yu Yan forced himself to stare intently into the wide eyes of Luo Cheng and the other two, feeling the nausea churning in his stomach.

He wasn't someone who had never killed anyone.

This is the first time we've been this close.

Fortunately, I no longer have any fear of it, but it is still somewhat difficult to accept physically.

"Why not just wait for them to be poisoned to death? Why do it ourselves?"

As Li Lingying moved away, she asked questions. This was the first time she had ever witnessed a murder, so clean and efficient, without any hesitation.

Especially since this guy is her age.

Looking at Yu Yan again, the familiarity they had developed over the past few days felt strange once more.

How did this person manage to remain so calm?

"There's nothing wrong with seeking immortality and enlightenment, but ordinary people shouldn't be dragged into it. Right and wrong must be clearly distinguished."

Yu Yan murmured to himself,

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. I'm just giving them a quick death because we've known each other."

His merit points on the Heavenly Book soared to 120. He paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and stood up.

He looked at Bai Xian, whose smile remained unchanged.

"The sooner we act, the sooner we can free the villagers from their suffering. Senior, let's begin according to plan."

"Alright, but you've already been marked by that evil cultivator. He'll be here soon. Just keep him here for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Bai Xian nodded, signaling Li Lingying to follow. Despite using a cane, she moved quickly and disappeared into the woods in no time.

Li Lingying followed for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said to him:

"You didn't do anything wrong. I think that was decisive enough, and it saved them from suffering the torment of poison..."

The naive young lady was just an excuse Yu Yan made up, and she actually believed it.

For evil practices like this that use ordinary people to practice their skills, the more painful the better. Giving them a release would be too good for them.

Yu Yan only made a move to see if there was any merit to be gained.

In hindsight, it was definitely the right decision to try it.

If we get rid of that "Senior Brother Zheng", I wonder if we can accumulate 500 merits directly and stop worrying about whether we can be reincarnated every day?

Yu Yan composed himself and, seeing that Li Lingying was still there, asked:

"Is there anything else?"

Senior Sister Li pursed her lips.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have enough pills on you? Could you give me a few more?"

Yu Yan shook his head.

"Don't worry, senior sister. We haven't used the previous ones, so it's more than enough. Go quickly, don't get lost."

"Ha, who, who's worried about you?"

Li Lingying, like a frightened kitten, quickly quickened her pace and left, muttering to herself as she went.

"You're just being presumptuous. I'm only doing this out of consideration for our shared sect. After all, it wouldn't be right for me to go back alone and have to explain it to Uncle-Master Qinglu. If it weren't for that relationship, who would care if you had enough pills..."

Watching the other person's departing figure, Yu Yan sighed, thinking to himself that Li Lingying was really awkward.

He then took out explosive tags and stuck them on Luo Cheng and the other two.

"Brother Luo, if you really have a reincarnation, be an ordinary person in your next life, or even better, a good person."

After reciting the "Supreme Daoist Lord's Wonderful Scripture on Resolving Grievances and Absolving Sins," he made a sword-finger gesture with his hand and transmitted a stream of spiritual power into the talisman.

In an instant, the flames spread, and the forest fire raged.

Yu Yan used the Earth Escape Talisman to isolate the surrounding forest, watching as the flames completely engulfed Luo Cheng's corpse.

"With such beautiful mountains and rivers, it can be considered a place of auspicious feng shui."

He turned around and heard a tremor.

The shaking caused the fallen leaves on the ground to rise rapidly before slowly falling back down.

The earthquake caused sand and soil to surge and steep slopes to collapse.

It doesn't come from underground, but from the ground.

It looked more like a well-trained army marching in formation.

boom--

The sound was getting closer.

Yu Yanfei stood on a tree and gazed into the distance.

Under the moonlight, a dark mass of figures could be seen.

They were ragged, emaciated, sallow-faced, and had vacant eyes.

The autumn night wind blew against them, but no one shivered; they just stared straight ahead.

A man and a woman walked at the front, carrying the sedan chair for the evil Taoist surnamed Zheng.

Their eyes bulged out, their mouths had long fangs, and their hands were like claws; they were no longer human.

Or rather, it would be more appropriate to call them zombies.

But when Yu Yan saw the two faces at the very front, he froze on the spot.

My head felt like it had been hit hard, and all my reason was almost wiped out.

"You heretic, you deserve to die!"

He roared, and a mid-grade first-level Thunderfire Talisman appeared in his hand. The next moment, he threw it at the other party.

A thunderbolt and a fire collided in the air, transforming into two crimson dragons that charged straight toward the evil path.

The Thunderfire Talisman improves upon the explosive damage of the Detonating Talisman by combining thunder and fire into a focused attack, allowing for precise kills.

Moreover, this talisman is specifically designed to counter evil spirits. Even a malevolent cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining would have to think twice before trying to withstand it.

Seeing the two dragons approaching with overwhelming force, the evil Taoist surnamed Zheng was amazed by the power of the talisman, but showed no fear on his face.

With a casual wave of his hand, the sedan chair came down, and the two figures carrying it quickly stepped forward.

With a roar, he raised his arm to block, his whole body crackling with lightning and flames spreading.

After a long while, the two zombies drooped their arms and their bodies were charred.

Only his eyes moved and his mouth opened wide, as if he was yearning for something.

The evil Taoist surnamed Zheng chuckled and tossed two figures out of the crowd. The two zombies immediately fell to the ground and bit down hard.

There was no struggle, no fear, and apart from the two extra lives lost, everything seemed unchanged.

Yu Yan looked at the two familiar faces, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down.

Even when facing his own biological parents.

"Yu Yan, you must have not seen your parents for many years. Why do you present such a grand gift as soon as we meet?"

"Huh? Hahahaha!"

The other party stood on the sedan chair, laughing hysterically.

"Do you know who helped me find these two corpses?"

"It's your good brother Luo Cheng!"

"He went to great lengths to improve his cultivation by relying on me, searching through several graveyards and actually finding two corpses with a trace of spiritual energy. They were absolutely perfect materials."

"Oh, haha, they're your parents!"

As he spoke, the evil cultivator surnamed Zheng's expression suddenly changed again.

"Everything was peaceful originally. Just obediently help us get rid of that white immortal, and you can return to your sect to report back. Your good brother Luo Cheng and I can continue our peaceful cultivation."

"Unfortunately, your curiosity is just too much!"

"Luo Cheng and his men are useless; they can't even control a little girl."

"Since that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to go on a killing spree and find another place to start cultivating again."

This man was only middle-aged, yet he kept referring to himself as "this old man." Yu Yan initially judged that this was probably not him.

In other words, this guy must have been possessed.

What kind of old monster has the ability to possess another's body?

"Come on, didn't you become a disciple of Yuanfu Peak and have many talismans?"

Old Monster Zheng took a step back, hiding behind the fully recovered zombie, and arrogantly said:

"Let's see if you'd be willing to attack your parents?"

"Have you thought this through? If it were just those harmless talismans from before, it would only be the people of Baixian Village who would die."

"See these two on the ground?"

"They all died because of you!"
