Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

After cursing Ye Xu about the ditch.

Li Ping weighed the sealed natal corpse bead in his hand, but his mind was racing: "But now Ye Xu's natal corpse bead is in my hands!"

A fourth-tier Corpse King can hide a portion of its primordial spirit within its natal corpse bead, and then hide the natal corpse bead far away to prevent enemies from finding its weakness.

Doing this actually has both advantages and disadvantages.

For example, right now, his natal corpse bead has fallen into Li Ping's hands, and Li Ping can use this to deal with a fourth-tier corpse king.

Although having the Corpse Bead doesn't guarantee complete control over the fourth-tier Corpse King, it's easy for him to use the bead to restrain it in battle and significantly reduce its strength.

With his current strength at the early stage of Core Formation, even if the fourth-tier Corpse King's strength has greatly decreased, he is no match for him.

But once he advances to the late stage of Core Formation, or even forms a Nascent Soul, with the help of the restraint of his natal corpse bead, he might be able to directly kill that fourth-tier corpse king and then reforge its corpse king body.

In this way, it would be equivalent to him possessing a fourth-tier combat power.

The thought of having the opportunity to acquire fourth-tier combat power in the future made Li Ping's heart pound.

The fourth-tier combat power represents the Nascent Soul cultivator, which is the highest level of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he can control a fourth-tier combat power before forming his Nascent Soul, wouldn't that mean he will get rid of his low-level cultivator status and become a high-ranking player?

With a shifting gaze, Li Ping took out a jade box from his storage bag, carefully placed the sealed natal corpse bead inside, affixed a spirit-sealing talisman, and then put the jade box back into his storage bag.

In any case, with his current strength, he is still unable to deal with a fourth-tier corpse king.

Therefore, even if you have any ideas, you have to put them aside for the time being.

"I'll settle the score with you after I reach the late Core Formation stage... or after I reach the Nascent Soul stage." Li Ping silently noted this down in his notebook.

……

Just after Li Ping sealed his natal corpse bead and cleared away all suspicious auras from his body.

In a valley tens of thousands of miles away from Lingxiao City.

"Roar~"

A deep, muffled growl suddenly rang out, and a fierce aura instantly spread.

"Impossible... The spell I used to conceal my natal corpse bead is a secret technique of the ancient witch clan. No one in this world, except myself, could possibly unravel it!"

The tall figure, dressed in a black dragon robe, roared, his eyes filled with incomprehension and confusion!

He couldn't understand how his secret technique had been broken.

He was 100% confident that even if the Soul Refining Pearl fell into the hands of the Three Elders of Lingxiao or those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, they would not be able to break the secret technique and obtain the natal corpse pearl hidden inside the Soul Refining Pearl!

Destruction through violence is equally ineffective.

In fact, they shouldn't have even noticed the secret of the Soul Refining Pearl. How could the secret techniques of the ancient witch clan be discovered by ordinary means?

But now, Blood Wheel King can not only not sense the location of his own natal corpse bead, but he can not even sense the aura of the person who had been touched by his natal corpse bead.

Clearly, that person not only obtained his natal corpse bead, but also sensed his presence and took measures to deal with him.

"The Three Elders of Lingxiao!"

Although I don't think the Three Elders of Lingxiao have the ability to do this, if I had to say who in Lingxiao City could do it, I think those three old guys are more likely to do it.

He dared not gamble with his life!

"I cannot stay here any longer; I must return to Mount Beiman as soon as possible!"

Blood Wheel King was, after all, a fourth-order being, whose intelligence was no less than that of humans, and he knew that he was in danger at this moment.

Without further hesitation, he soared into the air, enveloped in a cloud of black mist, and flew away from Lingxiao City: "I'm returning to my lair. I have a geographical advantage. Even if my natal corpse pearl is truly in those three old bastards' hands, they can't do anything to me!"

……

Three years passed in Li Ping's arduous cultivation.

During these three years, he would leave seclusion once a year as usual to handle the recycling of Cai Baixuan's second-hand magical artifacts and, incidentally, remove the Soul-Devouring Restriction from Wei and Feng.

He never went to the black market again.

Although he already knew the source of the danger and sealed his natal corpse bead, and when he had the idea of ​​leaving Lingxiao City, his spiritual sense did not warn him as it had before.

However, Li Ping decided to play it safe and continue to stay in Lingxiao City for a while longer.

His lifespan far surpasses that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators; he can live for another 540 years. There's no need to rush to acquire the Pill Saint's alchemy furnace.

As long as Chao Xuan cannot form a Nascent Soul, he can simply endure for another seventy years until Chao Xuan reaches the end of his life and passes away peacefully.

Wei Yiling and Feng Xishuang walked into the courtyard looking travel-worn.

Since being forced to join the Datong Society, the higher-ups of the Datong Society usually ignored the two of them, but every few years they would be assigned a task.

Their mission was to search for a strange fruit called "Dragon Pattern Fruit" in the western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The two of them had been away for nearly two years and had only just returned after successfully completing their mission.

Their mission was to search for a strange fruit called "Dragon Pattern Fruit" in the western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The two of them had been away for nearly two years and had only just returned after successfully completing their mission.

Since a relatively large number of Dragon Pattern Fruits were obtained, most of them were handed over to members of the Great Harmony Society as items to complete the quest.

But the remaining portion also allowed Li Ping to enjoy a delicious meal.

It must be said that the taste of this fruit is unparalleled in the world. Even a Core Formation cultivator like him praised it highly. He even kept the fruit pit to see if he could cultivate it on Gray Island in the future.

However, while the Dragon Pattern Fruit is delicious, it can only satisfy one's appetite and has no benefit to a cultivator's cultivation.

However, legend has it that this fruit is the favorite food of the dragon clan, especially those dragons that have not yet transformed into human form. Once they smell the aroma of this fruit, they cannot help but drool.

When the ancient dragon-taming clan fished for dragons, they liked to use this fruit as bait.

After eating the spiritual fruits given to him by the two, Li Ping smiled and nodded, then severed the Soul-Devouring Restriction from their souls.

First it was Wei Yiling, then it was Feng Xishuang.

Under Wei Yiling's concerned gaze, Feng Xishuang, whose face was pale, opened her eyes, and there was a hint of joy in them.

Li Ping smiled and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Feng, on cultivating the 'Myriad Spirits Divine Technique' to the fifth level and completely resolving the Soul Devouring Restriction problem."

Just now, he had completely severed all the soul-devouring restrictions within Feng Xishuang's soul.

Although Feng Xishuang is still somewhat weak in spirit, she has completely broken free from the control of the Nascent Soul of the Great Harmony Society and gained her freedom.

Feng Xishuang stood up with a smile and bowed respectfully, saying, "I must thank Fellow Daoist Li for treating me."

"Of course," Li Ping nodded with a smile.

Once Feng Xishuang sat back down, his gaze turned to Wei Yiling beside her.

Compared to Feng Xishuang, Wei Yiling's progress was much slower; her progress in cultivating the "Myriad Spirits Divine Technique" was only about half that of Feng Xishuang.

In other words, it will probably take her another fourteen or fifteen years to completely resolve the Soul Devouring Forbiddenness issue.
