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

Yu Yan looked at Bai Xian, who was clutching his abdomen and bleeding profusely, and stood up respectfully, saying:

"Please speak, senior."

He still felt grateful and respectful towards the demon who had saved his life and wholeheartedly helped Bai Xian Village.

What's more, it is now about to lose its life because of this.

Bai Xian sat on the ground and, instead of stating her request, began to reminisce about the past.

"I have been guarding this land for hundreds of years..."

His tone was filled with exclamation.

"To be honest, I am not as powerful as the villagers think. I was simply enlightened and given a cultivation technique, an inner core, and a medical skill."

"At first, I thought that the immortal was hiding in the village, so I did everything I could to help them overcome their difficulties. Later, as I gained more knowledge, I realized that the villagers here were just a group of mortals."

"But by then, protecting the village had become a habit, and seeing the smiles on the villagers' faces, I was happy to help them as well."

Before they could exchange more than a few words, Bai Xian coughed again, spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, which distressed Yu Yan.

"When I first saw you and your two children, Erwa, I knew you were different from others. Perhaps you really had a chance to be chosen and taken away by cultivators."

"Unfortunately, it came even before cultivators; it was a calamity."

"The drought caused famine, which took your parents and led to the death of the entire village."

Bai Xian's eyes were filled with tears, as if she was recalling the tragic scene from that time.

"I can only watch helplessly, powerless to do anything about it."

Yu Yan sighed, shook his head, and comforted her:

"You've done your best. Erwa and I survived on the food you provided."

Bai Xian looked at Yu Yan, seemingly somewhat relieved.

"Yes, it's a pity that the remaining villagers all died in that disaster. Six months later, a group of people fled here and gradually settled down."

It turned out to be the case.

Yu Yan's lips twitched.

He had been wondering how so many people could have survived such a severe drought and famine, but little did he know that the people here had changed drastically.

"Although they are not the same group of people, as long as they are from Baixian Village, Baixian has a responsibility to protect them. Now that things have come to this, I cannot shirk my responsibility."

Tears still clung to Bai Xian's eyes. It turned its head to look at the Spirit-Breaking Blood Pill in Yu Yan's hand, its voice trembling slightly from blood loss.

"I have a secret method that allows me to use the remaining lifespan of this Blood-Breaking Elixir to revive all the villagers."

As it spoke, the spikes on its back slowly dispersed, and it collapsed to the ground, where a tattered book fell.

"This medical skill must not be lost. After my death, if you are willing, learn its secrets and pass it on."

"resurrection?"

Upon hearing Bai Xian utter this word, Yu Yan frowned slightly.

He turned his head and looked at Li Lingying, who was already moved to tears by Bai Xian.

Didn't Senior Sister Li say that the Spirit-Breaking Blood Pill is irreversible?

Where did Bai Xian get this idea?

"Young friend Yu, what are you waiting for? I won't live much longer, but those mortals are innocent. Quickly give me the Spirit Breaking Blood Pill so I can save them."

The other person moved forward a little, and seeing that Yu Yan still didn't move, seemed a little anxious.

But is it really possible to revive someone using blood pills?

"Senior, do you really possess such a secret technique?"

"Of course, young friend Yu, do you not believe me? Do you really want those villagers to die and never be brought back to life?"

"Don't you want to save them?"

……

Yu Yan remained silent for a moment, then slowly stepped forward to Li Lingying's side. He pretended to be concerned and patted her shoulder, then secretly used his spiritual silk to remove her storage bag.

His steps slowed, and he silently used talismans to break the restrictions on the storage bag.

The Spirit Breaking Blood Pill itself was turbid with spiritual energy, which perfectly concealed the fluctuations of spiritual power on his body.

Bai Xian sat up against the rock, her eyes fixed on the pill in Yu Yan's hand, muttering to herself.

"Yes, right, come quickly, I'll help you save them..."

A smile appeared on its face, a manic expression, and its eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

"Quick, give it to me!"

Yu Yan stopped at the edge of the three-zhang mark.

Bai Xian realized she had lost her composure, immediately suppressing her displeasure and revealing a gentle smile.

"Young friend Yu, why aren't you moving? Give it to me quickly! I'm dying, and the villagers are still waiting."

Yu Yan didn't speak, but simply nodded and tossed the blood pill high into the air.

whoosh-

Bai Xian instantly flew into the air, no longer showing any signs of weakness.

However, Yu Yan had anticipated this.

clang!!

After a loud bang, the Spirit-Breaking Blood Pill returned to his hand, and the white figure was slammed to the ground by the Heavy Cauldron Talisman, its entire body almost shattered.

"Ah—Yu Yan, Yu Yan—"

The other party roared, but its body language betrayed its true intentions, as it desperately crawled away into the distance.

Although he didn't know where this guy got his strength from, Yu Yan didn't give it a chance at all. Several poison pills were accurately ejected, and the pills exploded instantly, invading the body.

zizi——

The blood flowing from the wound instantly turned into black mist, surging out continuously.

"Yu Yan, spare my life! I can give you whatever you want—cultivation techniques, spells, cultivation levels—I can give you everything. Even those with five spiritual roots can achieve Foundation Establishment. Trust me, trust me!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the other party began to beg for mercy.

Beg for mercy? Begging for mercy won't get you anywhere!

Yu Yan simply watched it indifferently until the pleas for mercy gradually faded away and the white hedgehog became completely still.

"Senior Bai Xian worked diligently his whole life, but in the end, he was careless and his body was taken over by a heretic like you. It would not be too much to cut you into a thousand pieces. To spare you is just wishful thinking."

Yu Yan picked up the medical book from the ground, turned to a page, and found that it contained some alchemy techniques. Only the first few pages were related to treating diseases, and the rest were all prescriptions.

Only the first few pages were thoroughly worn out; the rest were practically brand new.

Bai Xian's spiritual intelligence developed late, and after hundreds of years of research, it seems that he has only finished studying the medical techniques available to him.

Or perhaps, the other party only wants to learn the rescue method from before.

Yu Yan let out a long breath, looked at the mess in front of him, and relaxed a little.

This matter is finally over.

"It's a pity about Bai Xian Village and Senior Bai Xian."

…………

"Hahaha, Senior Bai Xian? In the end, didn't you still refuse to accept death and ask you for the Spirit Breaking Blood Pill?"

An arrogant voice came from behind. Yu Yan turned around abruptly and saw Li Lingying and the child tightly wrapped around the tail of the black snake. All their methods had failed, and only Li Lingying was still conscious.

"How is that possible?"

Yu Yan froze, glancing at Bai Xian's lifeless corpse.

Just now, Bai Xian wasn't possessed; he simply wanted to consume the Spirit Breaking Blood Pill himself.

"Is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

The black snake flicked its tongue, and although its tone was weak, it was now confident of victory and had no fear of Yu Yan.

"In the face of death, who can remain true to themselves? That's the reality!"

"Kid, you're too green. Your sweetheart senior sister is in my hands now. Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do. If you even slightly waver, I can't guarantee your senior sister's survival."

As it spoke, its tail tightened, causing Li Lingying and the child to vomit blood uncontrollably.

That old bastard really knows how to play dead; Yu Yan didn't even notice.
