I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi couldn't refuse Qu Jing's kind offer, so the two of them headed towards Xingsha City together.

Qu Jing realized that Lin Yi could keep up with her pace perfectly, so she secretly increased her speed to test him. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi still kept up, so she increased her speed again, but Lin Yi was still a few steps behind her.

In the end, she was forced to use her internal energy and movement techniques to finally create some distance. Even so, she was still deeply shocked.

Lin Yi's talent is so high, just how strong is his physical body!

Unbeknownst to her, her several attempts to accelerate had alerted Lin Yi, who quietly slowed down.

The performance was quite exaggerated, but still within the realm of genius.

Qu Jing once wanted to examine Lin Yi's bones to see how strong his innate talent was, but when they arrived in the city, she gave up the idea.

After all, men and women should not touch each other. Besides, she only cares about passing on her mantle to Lin Yi. How talented Lin Yi is is not very important.

"Farewell. I will not leave the city for the next few days. If you need any help, just call out to me, and I will be there within three breaths."

After saying that, Qu Jing still had the demeanor of a master and disappeared after a few leaps. But this time, Lin Yi watched her jump long jump, and then she hopped to an inn and broke through the window.

Goodness, is Master taking an unconventional route because he doesn't have money to stay at an inn?

Lin Yi didn't look at it much; right now, he had to deal with the fox demon first.

He brought back the fox demon's corpse as physical evidence.

On the other hand, the fox demon's body is also excellent material.

The hide can be used to make talismans, the blood can be used to draw talismans, and the meat can be eaten...

The most crucial element is the fox demon's memories. As a great demon over six hundred years old, the probability of him learning skills should be higher.

Since Qu Jing was with him earlier, Lin Yi didn't check on her immediately, so as not to let anyone notice anything amiss.

Holding the fox demon's corpse, Lin Yi walked into the shadows, his mind opening the Demon-Slaying Manual, which turned to the page about Xin San Niang.

My mind was completely absorbed, and a scene appeared in my mind.

"Damn, it's another porn video..."

Chapter 82 Do you think I'm gentle?

Xin San Niang was a fox who cultivated for six hundred years before attaining human form.

That was the height of the Han Dynasty. Although it was constantly at war with foreign tribes, which made life difficult for the people, no one dared to offend the might of the Han Dynasty. At that time, even if the Jingye Division was not powerful, there were few evil spirits causing trouble.

Xin San Niang also lived cautiously, fearing that she would be killed, skinned, and sold, and was filled with fear of humans.

Later, as the Han dynasty declined and the court fell into chaos, Xin Sanniang could not resist her desires and used her beauty to seduce a mortal. Before she could kill him, she was so frightened that she fled into the mountains. When she found that she was safe and sound, she became more and more arrogant.

Let alone just sleeping with a man, even if it meant eating his heart and liver, no one would care.

Later, as the warlords fought amongst themselves, ordinary people became easy prey. Xin San Niang and her demon companions were no longer satisfied with simple killing; they even started to imitate humans and hold lavish feasts of wine and meat...

Xin San Niang was the first powerful demon with such high cultivation that Lin Yi killed. The time span was very long, which allowed Lin Yi to see the changes in history from the perspective of a demon.

An ancient saying goes: when a country is about to fall into chaos, there will surely be monsters appearing.

In reality, evil spirits have always existed, but when a country is strong, they dare not show themselves. When a country declines, these lurking demons and monsters will emerge and commit all sorts of beastly acts.

Xin San Niang was just like that. When the human court was strong, she was obsequious and lived in seclusion in the mountains. But when the country showed signs of weakness, she would strike hard and wreak havoc on the region.

This was the most disgusting and uncomfortable memory Lin Yi had ever seen. The process was too bloody, and the demon-slaying manual didn't even bother to censor it. After reading it, Lin Yi almost threw up his dinner from the night before.

This memory also reveals some of the fox demon's methods, such as the method of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin... cough cough, the skills overlapped significantly, which Lin Yi didn't want.

Besides this ability, Xin San Niang also possesses the Blood Refining and Spirit Strengthening Technique. Humans are born with a spirit, and this spirit can be plundered; one can replenish what one eats.

The other demons' methods were all similar, and Lin Yi disdained to learn them.

After closing the Demon-Slaying Manual, Lin Yi only wanted to tear Xin San Niang to pieces.

Seeing all the bad things she did and the many people she harmed, it's really not satisfying to just let her die like this.

Although the idea of ​​using violence to combat violence is not advisable, Lin Yi still regretted letting her die too easily.

It's okay, I'll definitely do it next time!

Lin Yi made a plan in his mind, then took Xin San Niang's corpse, which had already returned to its original form, to the Jingye Division and ordered the kitchen to skin and remove the tendons overnight and stew the meat.

The flesh and blood of demons are highly nutritious. Cultivators who are still in the stage of refining essence into qi can naturally gain more qi and blood by eating the flesh of demons.

But it would take more time to stew the meat until it was tender, so Lin Yi figured he had nothing to do that evening and went home first.

As for the fellow Daoists in Yunyu Tower, Lin Yi let them be.

Back at the inn, Lin Yi thought of Qu Jing again.

The thought that she might be too poor to afford a hotel made Lin Yi feel a little sorry for her.

She didn't jump into the same guesthouse she was staying at, otherwise she could have paid some of the money herself.

"You're back."

When Lin Yi returned to his room, he saw He Dong sitting on the edge of the bed. Thinking that he had already cultivated for 1,200 years, and that it wouldn't be long before he could turn the tables and become the master, Lin Yi felt a surge of joy.

Since that's the case, there's no need to be afraid of her now, since she's already weak!

Lin Yi walked over and sat down next to He Dong, his attitude becoming much more casual.

As He Dong watched, a sweet feeling quietly arose in his heart.

She was actually quite perceptive. From the beginning, Lin Yi wasn't particularly close to her. When facing her, Lin Yi was always distant and somewhat fearful.

He Dong could understand this, after all, she was such a powerful ghost, and fear was a human instinct.

Even though I was afraid of her, I still fell in love with her. This must be true love!

However, after everything they had been through, Lin Yi had lowered his guard against her a bit, which naturally made He Dong happy.

But thinking about what Lin Yi said to Xin San Niang today, even though she knew he might be trying to mislead her, she still felt uncomfortable.

Furthermore, he secretly acquired a beautiful master who treated him very well. She was gentle and attentive, always answering his questions, and even gifted him a precious sword. The sword looked very expensive; it must have cost several thousand gold coins to buy.

Moreover, Qu Jing is a person.

Thinking about all this, He Dong felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Really, what am I afraid of? What's there to be afraid of!"

He Dong was still being stubborn, but she had also made up her mind to question Lin Yi properly.

What did you do tonight?

This wasn't a questioning tone, but rather a casual chat. Lin Yi took off his coat, kicked off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and casually said, "Of course, I'm off to slay demons and monsters."

"I know, is there nothing else?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately gave He Dong a serious look.

This scene is somewhat like a wife catching her husband cheating and then pretending to be calm in preparation for confronting him.

Fortunately, they weren't really husband and wife, so Lin Yi didn't have any psychological issues. Even if he flirted with many girls outside, he didn't need to worry.

Besides, he didn't have any; he just made a few friends.

Now that I've achieved a stable life, shouldn't I consider finding a partner?

First, we can rule out Wang Jinxuan; this girl is not suitable.

Lin Yi preferred girls with Xiao Cao's personality—well-behaved, sensible, strong, and intelligent—but unfortunately, she was a bit too young.

"Ahem," Lin Yi said, extending his thoughts slightly before replying, "I also went to see my master."

Lin Yi felt there was no need to hide this from He Dong, after all, the two had a bond forged through life and death.

When did you get your new mentor? Who is she?

He Dong came prepared; she was just waiting for this line!

Lin Yi chuckled inwardly; sure enough, the ghost had secretly followed him.

He wasn't talking about a new master before, so how did He Dong know?

Even if one could roughly guess that he wouldn't dare to see his old master, one shouldn't be so certain.

"I just became her apprentice yesterday. She's Brother Guan's junior sister. She's a really nice person. Although she doesn't show much emotion, I can tell she's actually a gentle person."

"Gentleness..."

He Dong's tone suddenly became a little strange. Lin Yi, not understanding why, tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just curious, do you think I'm gentle?"

In the flickering candlelight, He Dong revealed a gentle smile.

Normally, the smile was indeed quite gentle, but Lin Yi felt a little uneasy about it. Especially when a strange gust of wind caused the candlelight to flicker wildly, and finally go out.

The moonlight by the bed fell on He Dong's face, illuminating her fair complexion.

The atmosphere was just right, and Lin Yi, who had been feeling a little sleepy, suddenly snapped awake.

"Don't laugh, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares."

He Dong: "..."

Chapter 83 I'm about to undergo tribulation?

When people gain power, they become arrogant.

Just like now, after Lin Yi angered He Dong to the point of withdrawal, he actually went to sleep peacefully, leaving He Dong sitting on the edge of the bed, fuming with anger, wanting to bite him but not knowing how.

He Dong figured it out. She guessed that her appearance in Lin Yi's dream last time had left a psychological scar. But apart from when she was playing pranks, she was mostly gentle!

At most, he's just a little bit greedy!

"Hmph, you made me angry and you don't even try to coax me. All you do is sleep. I'll make sure you have nightmares."

Once He Dong was certain that Lin Yi was fast asleep, he was about to use his dream-entering technique, but just as he was about to unleash his magic, he suddenly chickened out.

What if Lin Yi has too many nightmares and becomes afraid of her in the future?

"Consider yourself lucky, I won't hold it against you."

He Dong withdrew his hand and sat down to cultivate diligently.
