Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

"good."

A voice came from behind Cui Chenghua.

Jiang Chuan's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, his expression calm.

Flower Snake's pupils contracted sharply. She stared intently at the young face, forcing out a few words through clenched teeth: "How...how did you do that?"

Jiang Chuan did not answer, but simply raised his hand and gestured.

Cui Chenghua immediately stepped aside respectfully, his eerie smile vanishing completely, replaced by a devout, almost fanatical, obedience.

That demeanor was completely different from the Cui Chenghua who usually managed to get along well with everyone in the outer sect.

Seeing this, the last shred of hope in the flower snake's heart shattered completely.

She got it.

Cui Chenghua had long since become Jiang Chuan's man.

"You ask me how I did it."

Jiang Chuan finally spoke. Now that the situation was under control, he didn't mind letting her die knowing why.

He chuckled lightly. "Do you still remember Ma Yuankui?"

The flower snake's pupils suddenly dilated.

Ma Yuankui.

That madman who self-destructed in front of her, using the illusion of the mortal world to blast her cultivation back by half a year, almost extinguishing her hope of reaching the third stage of Qi Refining.

"He revealed himself not because there was no hope of a breakthrough."

Jiang Chuan said calmly, "It's because at that time I wasn't confident I could kill you head-on."

The flower snake's heart clenched violently.

She was so shrewd that she understood the meaning of the sentence almost instantly.

Ma Yuankui deliberately exposed himself in front of her!

purpose.

It's all to prevent her from breaking through!

And she never doubted it from beginning to end!

She suddenly remembered that back then, on the Dharma boat of the Heyin Society, Jiang Chuan accompanied her as an alchemist, and she had taken the initiative to get close to him.

At that time.

She thought she was testing a novice.

But now that I think about it...

From beginning to end, she was the one being tested...

Hua She's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but the sharp pain in her abdomen made it difficult for her to even breathe.

Her body slowly slid down the stone wall to the ground, curled up in a ball, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

The flower snake gave a bitter laugh, its voice weak, yet it still asked a question with resentment.

"What kind of poison did you use?"

"Three Corpse Brain God Worm"

The flower snake fell silent. Even though she wasn't an alchemist, she had heard of how terrifying this kind of insect was.

Once it parasitizes a cultivator's body.

Unless a real person intervenes.

otherwise.

She could not escape being controlled no matter what.

The snake's face was ashen, and a flicker of struggle flashed in its already somewhat unfocused eyes.

She didn't want to die. She had struggled for so many years in the outer sect, climbing from a rogue cultivator to the position of vice president of the Heyin Association.

She hasn't lived enough yet.

Jiang Chuan said calmly, "After telling you so much, you should understand that I can give you a way out."

What do you want?

Her voice was hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

"Be loyal to me."

The Starry Sky Mirror slowly appeared behind Jiang Chuan, and the warm starlight sprinkled in the cave, making the four stone walls look like an inverted Milky Way.

"Open your mind and accept this mark. I can recall the Three Corpse Brain God Worms at any time. Your life is in your hands."

The flower snake closed its eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, there was no longer any resistance in them.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I admit defeat...!"

Her sea of ​​consciousness slowly opened, and the star-like beam of light entered her brow without any obstruction, leaving an indelible mark deep within her soul.

The next instant, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and pressed down, and a warm, stellar power flowed into the snake's body through his palm.

That force, like a living fish, precisely captured the Three Corpse Brain God Worm larvae that were frantically devouring her meridians, wrapped them up, and slowly pulled them out.

The flower snake let out a muffled groan, exhaling a breath of dark red turbid air from her mouth.

The abdominal cramps finally subsided.

She lay on the ground catching her breath for a moment, then slowly straightened up, knelt down, and slammed her forehead heavily against the cold stone slab.

"Your subordinate, Flower Snake, greets your master."

Jiang Chuan retrieved the Starry Sky Treasure Mirror.

next moment.

A massive, almost terrifying surge of true essence erupted from the Starry Sky Mirror like a burst dam, flowing straight into his limbs and bones along the mark of enslavement!

The Flower Snake's newly broken through to the third level of Qi Refining cultivation was immediately fed back into Jiang Chuan's body!

His aura began to rise at an almost frenzied speed.

The true essence in his sea of ​​consciousness surged and boiled, and his meridians were impacted by wave after wave of powerful true essence. Each impact made his Dharma body more solid.

Qi Refining Stage Two!

Qi Refining Stage 3!

When that powerful surge of true energy finally subsided.

Jiang Chuan slowly opened his eyes, a dazzling starlight flashing deep within his pupils.

Then it quickly disappeared.

He felt a power within him that was several times stronger than before.

He slowly exhaled.

Even so, he was still a pseudo-Qi cultivator who only possessed the third level of Qi Refining but lacked the original Qi.

But that's enough.

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Chuan's lips.

He originally thought that after Yun Danzi refined that fifth-grade Bing Fire spiritual energy, he would be able to break through to the second stage of Qi Refining, but he did not expect that Hua She would give him an even bigger surprise.

"good."

He muttered to himself, quite satisfied with the result, but what truly surprised him was yet to come.

The feedback from the Flower Snake's cultivation level brought far more than just a surge in true essence.

A beam of light slowly shone in the depths of Jiang Chuan's consciousness.

The light displayed three colors: azure, silver, and gold. As they intertwined and flowed, the three colors of light spread out in his sea of ​​consciousness, like a slowly unfolding scroll.

[Measuring the light of the heavens!]

This is precisely the wondrous transformation of the original Qi of the Flower Snake!

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes and carefully sensed the information in his mind. It was the Flower Snake's more than 100 years of cultivation experience, and all her understanding of this divine thing. At this moment, it all became Jiang Chuan's own.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a hint of undisguised shock flashing deep in his pupils.

This amazing effect is simply defying the heavens!

Its core ability is only one: to nullify the supernatural abilities of others!

Each additional divine light that evolves can influence one more realm.

The flower snake now measures the light of the heavens with its three-colored divine radiance.

It can completely nullify the supernatural abilities of a Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator of the same realm!

What's even more bizarre is...

This miraculous technique is equally effective against cultivators at higher levels!

When facing a Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, one can forcibly suppress their extraordinary power to the level equivalent to Stage 1.

Facing the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It can also forcibly weaken its extraordinary power to the level of the sixth rank!

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, somewhat relieved, and said, "Fortunately, you have a strong will to survive. Otherwise, even under the influence of the Three Corpse Brain Worm, you could have fought me to a standstill..."

Upon hearing this, the snake-like creature knelt down in fear: "Your subordinate would never dare to harbor any disrespect towards your master."
