The Villain Has Something to Say - Chapter 128
Chapter 128: Out-of-Body & The Visit of Xuan Lingzi (I)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
When Luo Jianqing woke up, he didn’t know that the elder Fiend cultivator had taken him away.
There were altogether eleven Da Sheng Period Fiend Cultivators. The Fiend Exalt Mo Qianqiu had finished the late stage, of Da Sheng Period, which meant he was the most powerful one. After him, there were five Fiend Cultivators at the late stage of Da Sheng Period, three at the middle stage and two at the early stage.
Fiend Cultivators could improve their power quickly at the early stage, so they could easily elevate from Qi Condensation to Out-of-Body in a short time and were much powerful than other cultivators at the same level. They were the exceptions of the law of nature. However, once they finished Body Fusion, things would be totally different as they were punished by the law of nature. Compared with other cultivators, it was much harder for Fiend Cultivators to make any further breakthrough when they reached Body Fusion. That was the punishment from the law of nature, which made it even difficult for them to finish Body Fusion.
One out of a hundred Out-of-Body Fiend Cultivators could finish Body Fusion, while a Tribulation Passage Fiend Cultivator was even the one in a hundred of Body Fusion.
Therefore, in the current cultivation world, each Da Sheng Period Fiend Cultivator was well-known. Five of them served the Fiend Palace. As for the other six, two of them were twin sisters who occupied a mountain in the Fiend Realm and became the chiefs, and the last four were all independent cultivators.
The old Fiend Cultivator who grabbed Luo Jianqing was He Lianmin. Over one thousand years ago, he had been notorious on the Xuan Tian Continent for killing tens of thousands of people. Meanwhile, he was also anarchistic pill maker, especially good at making “human pill” by using man as raw material! People called him “Blood Pill Master”.
Although he just reached the early stage of Da Sheng Period, his pill-making skill was among the top. He had been to Long State five hundred years ago, killing a powerful cultivation family and using over one thousand people of that family to make pills. Then, he disappeared, so people never heard about him.
He had lived for two thousand and nine hundred years so far, so he must have been very cautious to avoid being hunted by his foes.
When he saw the black eddy whirling in the sky, he immediately realized that he had to take his Towering Fiend Tripod and leave as soon as possible.
“I don’t know what that black eddy is, but as long as it is in the sky, the Fiend Palace will notice it, so will the cultivators of Tai Hua mountain in the Realm who are searching for this lad. They will come here to figure it out, which may put my in danger.”
The Blood Pill Master released all of his spiritual power and ran at full speed. However, he had to stop each hour and hide somewhere so that he could slide into the Tripod and pour Reincarnation Flame on Luo Jianqing to polish his body, making him a more suitable material for “human pill”.
When the Tripod contained a human, it couldn’t be put into the Interspatial Ring. So he had to carried a huge Tripod and ran cautiously. After thirty miles, he could already see some Fiend Cultivators and Dao Cultivators running to the opposite direction.
With the huge Tripod on his shoulder, the Blood Pill Master hesitated for a while and thought firmly: “It’s my last chance! There are only two Extraordinary Spiritual Bones in the world. I have been following Luo Jianqing since he arrived in the Realm and it has taken me a lot of effort to grab him. In forty nine days, his consciousness will be erased. By then, he and other eighty human pills can be made into a supreme human pill! I can’t give up now! It’s my only chance!”
Flame burnt in his eyes and he ran faster.
Each dying cultivator was extremely crazy. The Blood Pill Master clearly knew that if he took Luo Jianqing away, he would be hunted by Tai Hua mountain, even by Xuan Lingzi who had reached Deity Transformation Period.
But he had no other options!
He could only live for another eighty years or so. If he didn’t replace his bones to prolong his life, he would die!
He had killed countless people in his life, not as many as the three million killed by the Fiend Exalt, but he killed a million at least. That meant that he had to spend his next lives for millions of generations as an animal and paid back what he had done! He couldn’t tolerate it, so he had to jump to the next level; he had to transform into deity!
“The Supreme Human Pill is my last chance. I had intended to use an Extraordinary Bone as a substitute, but since you’re here, I’ve got the favor of the Heaven! Once I use this Supreme Human Pill, I can replace my bones and use half of your total life to extend mine! I still have chance to reach Deity Transformation Period!”
Luo Jianqing didn’t know what happened outside the Tripod. Inside, it was a different and endless world.
Luo Jianqing woke up gradually. When he was in a coma, the Blood Pill Master had poured the Reincarnation Flame into his body for several times, but once the flame entered his body, it would be swallowed by the invisible power in Luo Jianqing’s Dantian.
Currently, all the wounds on his body had scabbed. Although he looked wretched, Luo Jianqing knew that every inch of his broken meridians was recovering quickly. If he had been strong before, now he was ten times stronger!
The burning energy trickled through his meridians, giving out red lights. It was strange that those red lights ultimately fused into his body.
Luo Jianqing didn’t shook off the scabs on his body. Instead, he even pretended to be asleep when the Blood Pill Master entered the Tripod again. He just let the Blood Pill Master pour energy into his body.
Three hours later, Luo Jianqing’s meridians had all recovered. However, the primordial life in his Dantian that had been swallowed by the flame hadn’t recovered yet. In his empty Dantian, there were only his spiritual power and the rest of some flame energy.
Luo Jianqing examined his body through spiritual consciousness but didn’t find his primordial life. He was baffled and then smiled bitterly.
He had been half way to Out-of-Body, yet now without primordial life, what was his position?
For all the cultivators, once their primordial life died, their power would be significantly impaired and could never reach Nascent Soul. Some cultivators even died directly.
But now Luo Jianqing’s primordial life had gone and he was still halfway to Out-of-Body.
When he was thinking hopelessly, a powerful beam of green light was projected from his invisible spiritual power. He obtained this power when he began to practice Nine Heavenly Seizure Record. Until now, Luo Jianqing still didn’t know what this magic power was, but it gave him infinite possibility to practice.
The green light was as bright as sunlight, shining with boundless radiance and swallowing all the flame energy. The flame energy wanted to block it, but after a short struggle, it was painfully overwhelmed by the green light.
Luo Jianqing looked at the green light with astonishment, which rolled with satisfaction. After a long time, a small bud came out from it. It hadn’t blossomed yet. Luo Jianqing touched the green bud subconsciously with his spiritual power, and the bud moved, as if it was expressing dissatisfaction.
They were just doing the “You touch, I move” game.
Then, the bud seemed to become impatient and bounced off Luo Jianqing’s spiritual power. As Luo Jianqing felt shocked, the bud was blossoming gracefully.
The beauty of this scene was unforgettable, even though it was the first time Luo Jianqing had seen it.
When the first petal expanded, green light shined;
When the second petal expanded, strong fragrance spread;
When the third petal expanded, spiritual power froze;
When the fourth petal expanded, tens of thousands of beams gathered on the flower and presented a perfectly blossoming lotus.
When the fifth petal expanded, it stopped gradually halfway through.
