He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

After a night of dual cultivation, with Lin Shaoyu's help, Yue Qingrou made initial progress in the "Pure and Immaculate Technique," transforming from an ordinary person into a cultivator at the "Nourishing Body Realm," and taking her first steps on the path of cultivation.

Almost at the same time that Yue Qingrou transformed from a mortal into a cultivator, the He Shi Bi (a legendary jade disc) sensed her transformation. A white light slowly flew out from Yue Qingrou's body, like a wisp of smoke, and drifted into the He Shi Bi, where it was absorbed.

A white destiny.

"It's done."

Lin Shaoyu was secretly delighted. "Yue Qingrou was originally an ordinary mortal. Although she was the eldest daughter of a powerful family, she was still just a mortal. But with my help, she activated the 'Thousand Charms' Body and entered the 'Pure and Immaculate Technique' overnight, becoming a cultivator."

"This is how you change your fate!"

If you successfully change your fate, you will naturally obtain a white destiny.

"If you can help a mortal embark on the path of cultivation, you will receive a white destiny. If you can help a cultivator at the peak of the Dao to successfully refine Qi and become a Qi Refining Cultivator, you will receive a black destiny."

Lin Shaoyu pondered, "If I could help a Qi Refining cultivator master a minor supernatural ability, I could obtain a crimson destiny."

Because the cultivators in Blackrock City were unwilling to take the initiative to attack, and the enemy forces of Yue Kingdom showed no signs of attacking, they could only stay in the city for the time being. Therefore, Lin Shaoyu thought of another way to obtain his destiny.

Since Lin Shaoyu was able to obtain the destiny from Yue Qingrou this time, it means that his ideas and methods are feasible. But then again, it is easy to change one person's destiny, but difficult to change the destiny of millions of people.

Lin Shaoyu could help Yue Qingrou enter the cultivation realm overnight through dual cultivation, but he lacked the ability to change the fate of millions of people and make them cultivators in a short time.

"If one day in the future I truly possess the power to change the fate of all living beings, enabling everyone to become like a dragon, to ascend to immortality and become an ancestor, what scale of 'destiny' would I attain? And what level would such 'destiny' help me reach?"

A strange sense of ambition welled up in Lin Shaoyu's heart, and he even started to daydream. But he knew that such a thing was almost impossible to achieve. Even with the help of a golden finger like the "He Shi Bi", it was hard to see any hope. "In fact, compared to truly changing the fate of all living beings, killing is much easier."

"For me now, killing a mortal is as easy as crushing an ant. In fact, a single spell can kill hundreds of mortals."

"Killing a mortal will grant you one gray life point, and ten gray life points are equivalent to one white life point. If I were to go on a killing spree, even slaughtering an entire city in the mortal realm, I could obtain a large number of life points in a short period of time. Even the lowest level gray life point, if I kill tens of thousands of mortals, that would still be a massive amount of life points."

"pity……"

Lin Shaoyu shook his head. "It is indeed easy to slaughter mortals, but the subsequent reckoning may not be able to withstand it. Because under the rule of the Dry Bone Demon Sect, the 'Central Continent' seems to have no rules. After all, the Dry Bone Demon Sect is a demonic sect, and the strongest demonic sect at that. People in the demonic sect naturally don't follow any rules."

"Although the rules of the Bone Demon Sect are few, they convey only one meaning between the lines: everything in the entire 'Central Earth Continent' belongs to the Bone Demon Sect. Even a weed by the roadside, a stone on the road, or a speck of dust in the air belongs to the Bone Demon Sect."

"In that case..."

"All living beings can survive in the Central Continent, but all living beings are also assets of the Dry Bone Demon Sect. No one, no matter who, can damage the sect's assets without cause. If someone damages the sect's assets without cause, they need to make compensation according to the specific damage. If the compensation is insufficient, the sect may even strip them of everything until the compensation is completed."

So,

Lin Shaoyu murmured softly, "If I had killed fewer people, it would have been fine. After all, I am just a mortal. Besides, I am an outer disciple of the Dry Bone Demon Sect, so I have some privileges. But if I really go on a killing spree and can't come up with a reasonable explanation or reason, and I haven't obtained permission from the sect, I definitely won't be able to bear the compensation afterwards."

"This mission was a legitimate opportunity to make a move, but since the war hasn't started yet, we have to find another way to gain lives."

Before we knew it.

Three months have passed since Lin Shaoyu arrived in Blackrock City.

"Master Lin is truly a wonderful person!"

"That's right."

"Since Master Lin opened the altar to preach three months ago, checking the aptitude of us mortals and teaching us cultivation methods, my son successfully entered the path yesterday."

"Yeah yeah!"

"And they even gave us 'Nourishing Pills,' a kind of celestial elixir!"

"Master Lin understands that life is tough for ordinary people like us! He hopes we can have the skills to protect ourselves!"

"I had already set up a longevity tablet for Master Lin at home."

"..."

The neighbors in Blackrock City chatted incessantly, but what they talked about most was Lin Shaoyu, and their tone and expressions were full of awe for him.

"What is Junior Brother Lin trying to do?"

Fu Hongxu was well aware of what Lin Shaoyu had done over the past three months, but he simply couldn't understand Lin Shaoyu's actions. He wasted time and energy, even spending his own money to create "Nourishing Pills." Although the cost of refining "Nourishing Pills" was negligible for outer disciples who had already mastered minor supernatural abilities, it was still a expenditure. To do something so self-destructive for the benefit of others—"Could he be trying to accumulate 'merit'?"

"Merit?"

Chi Lian shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She couldn't understand Lin Shaoyu's actions either. She had been secretly monitoring Lin Shaoyu's behavior all this time. "If 'merit' were so easy to obtain, then it wouldn't be 'merit.' Those big shots wouldn't have stirred up bloodshed for 'merit.' For 'merit,' even great supernatural beings have perished."

"yes!"

Fu Hongxu nodded slightly, "That makes sense. That's why I said I don't understand what Junior Brother Lin is trying to do. Could it be that our Junior Brother Lin is really such a good person? Unable to bear the suffering of others?!"

"Maybe."

Chi Lian shrugged.

"Oh, right."

Fu Hongxu's expression turned serious. "Junior Sister Chi Lian, according to the intelligence gathered by the Blood Soul Sect cultivators, the Yue Kingdom army will attack the city in three days. The Primordial Immortal Sect has actually sent three outer disciples this time, and their lineup is vastly inferior to ours. The outcome will depend on their respective methods."

"Also, tell Junior Brother Lin not to waste time and energy on the next few days. The sect mission is the most important thing. If you fail, you will not only not get any contribution points, but you will also be punished for failure."

"OK."

Chi Lian nodded.

In fact, Chi Lian had already told Lian Hongshang everything about Lin Shaoyu's behavior over the past three months. After learning about it, Lian Hongshang became even more certain that Lin Shaoyu was definitely a pawn of some powerful being, because Lin Shaoyu's behavior was too abnormal, and it might really be related to 'merit'.
