The State of You, Tianxuan Sect

"After the Patriarch arrived, Senior Zhou and I continued to chase after the Blood Demon Ancestor. The Blood Demon Ancestor tried to sow discord and tempt Senior Zhou, but he refused. Afterward, Senior Zhou and I followed the Blood Demon Ancestor into the Wilderness and encountered a sixth rank demonic beast. Senior Zhou…"

Void Achieving from Tianxuan Sect explained the whole process to Tao Achieving, and Zhou Huaiying was also present. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Huaiying immediately said. The Blood Demon Ancestor also tried to tempt me with the Blood Demon Manual, but he was simply ignorant. And that Blood Demon Ancestor was also unlucky. He managed to escape from my junior brother’s pursuit, but I coincidentally freed myself from the entanglement of the demonic clan and ran into him.

So I fought Blood Demon Ancestor again, but after a long battle, he was weak and I dealt a heavy blow to him. However, he managed to escape into the depths of the Wilderness. I saw some monsters trying to help him, so I didn’t dare to chase him anymore. I think Blood Demon Ancestor must be dead by now."

"Maybe not. I used the Tongtian Mirror to track him, and I found out that Blood Demon Ancestor used a Clone Symbol to hide from me. Later, the power of the Clone Symbol ran out, but it was already several days later. Blood Demon Ancestor might still be alive, but he somehow managed to avoid being tracked by the Tongtian Mirror."

"Master, if that’s the case, he must have incredible luck to still be alive."

"Yes, Blood Demon Ancestor has been heavily injured by us several times."

"It’s different. I have read fragments of the Blood Demon Manual before. When this cultivation technique is practiced to a high level, one completely abandons the physical body. The body you see is just an illusion. In the end, Blood Demon Ancestor becomes a blood clot. But even the blood clot can be discarded, as long as his soul and Blood Core are intact."

Tianxuan Sect’s accomplished cultivator explained that the evil cultivation path has its own drawbacks. When one practices the Blood Demon Manual to the extreme, they give up their physical body and become something neither human nor ghost.

"In your opinion, Master, how should we spread the message to the outside world?"

"We shall say that Blood Demon Ancestor is heavily wounded and near death, and that he has left the state of You. Inform all the states and sects to be cautious. If they spot him, they must kill him without hesitation."

"Yes, Master."

"You all go first, let Huaiying stay for a while."

The founder of the Tianxuan Sect nodded, then asked the others to leave, but only Zhou Huaiying stayed behind.

Xuanmiao City

Lin Batian quietly appeared in Lin Dongyan’s mansion, which was borrowed by Lin Jiang. It was very large and luxurious. Originally, Lin Jiang even arranged dozens of servants to serve him, but Lin Dongyan refused. He didn’t have time to enjoy such luxuries. He was a hardworking person, or you could say he was a workaholic. He hadn’t taken a break for several years.

"Greetings, Master."

"Dongyan, no need to be too polite. Have a seat and let’s talk."

"Yes, Master. The Master rushed here from Xiaotian City. I wonder what it is about."

"There are some uncertain matters. I wanted to hear your opinion."

"Master, please speak."

"Not long ago, I captured and killed the infamous Killing Demon Su Chang. Before killing him, I searched his soul and learned about his life. Su Chang was originally the Medicine Slave of the Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun…"

Lin Batian slowly began, Su Chang’s life was truly tragic. He was originally a cultivator from a small family. Although the family’s power was not great, they lived without worries and were well-loved.

Until his whole family became the target of the Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun, with most of their clan members being killed and the rest captured as Medicine Slaves in the North State. But what is a Medicine Slave? It is a slave used for testing medicines.

He witnessed with his own eyes as the remaining clan members were mercilessly killed by the Evil Pill King, including himself. He was constantly used by the Evil Pill King as a test subject for medicines, treating his injuries with medicines that pushed him to the brink of death before healing him. Poison was used before the cure, causing him all sorts of torment.

In order to test the effects of certain elixirs on high-level cultivators, the Evil Pill King even took the initiative to enhance his cultivation. In short, that period of his life resulted in Su Chang developing a twisted mentality.

Eventually, Su Chang successfully killed the Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun in revenge. However, Su Chang had no talent in alchemy, so he only inherited a portion of the Evil Pill King’s wealth. He buried the rest of the things, including the remains, and occasionally dug up the Evil Pill King’s body to lash and desecrate it.

However, the main point Lin Batian wanted to make wasn’t about that. The focus was that through Su Chang’s memories, he found the place where Su Chang buried the Evil Pill King and obtained the Evil Pill King’s legacy.

"So, Master is interested in the alchemy legacy of the Evil Pill King?"

"Yes"

"The head of the family knows that Evil Pill King is a notorious person, even in the remote Yun State. Any legitimate disciple must learn from Evil Pill King’s example. This person is extremely wicked, having killed their own parents, relatives, friends, and even the person who saved their life. Moreover, the medicines they study are extremely evil."

Lin Dongyan said. Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun has a notorious reputation in the cultivation world. Almost everyone who practices alchemy knows about them, and they have been hunted down by all sects.

"But some of Evil Pill King’s medicines are truly powerful, much stronger than ordinary ones."

"Head of the family…"

Dong Yan, I know that you are a conscientious alchemist, but please understand my situation. I carry a deep-seated blood feud. I have witnessed my family members being tragically killed right before my eyes, and I have seen the decline of a once powerful clan.

During the time in Yun State, the Lin family were all my descendants, but how many of them died? Go ask the people who have returned to Yun State, how many descendants of the Lin family are left, even among the ordinary people, and how many have died.

Seeking revenge is incredibly difficult, and the enemy is incredibly strong. We have been wandering around for these years, from Qing State to Bing State, from the central region to the North State, moving multiple times. How many of our clan members have been delayed in their cultivation because of this?

In order to seek revenge, I am willing to pay any price, even if it means being despised by thousands of people. Dong Yan, do you understand my feelings?

"Master, Dongyan is willing to give everything for the family, even his life, but please also have mercy on the young members of the clan. Many of them are innocent. Once this matter is exposed, the entire Lin family will be despised by the cultivation world, and even the Lin family ancestors will be cursed for thousands of years."

Lin Dongyan said that he could understand Lin Batian’s difficulties, but he also felt sorry for the young members of the Lin family. They were born burdened with immense hatred.

I know, how can I not know? But there’s no choice, Dongyan. You and I were born into the Lin family, and that’s something we can’t change. All I can do is protect this secret with all my might. If there ever comes a day when this matter is exposed, I will bear the responsibility on my own.

I will arrange for you to rest and recuperate in different places. If it is exposed, you will directly change your surname and cut ties with the Lin family. Dongyan, please grant my request as the family master.

"Master…"

Lin Dongyan was greatly shocked. He had never seen Lin Batian so humbly begging someone before. Lin Batian always displayed an assertive attitude, even in the face of great danger.

"Dongyan…"

"Master, I promise."

Lin Dongyan reluctantly agreed. The master had pleaded with him like this, how could he refuse?

"Thank you, Dongyan. These are the pill formulas and alchemy notes left by the Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun. Take a look."

Lin Batian spoke softly and handed Lin Dongyan a few jade scrolls.

Lin Dongyan opened the jade scrolls and his expression turned extremely shocked. The pill formulas left by the Evil Pill King Zhong Jingyun were incredibly terrifying. Most of the main ingredients for these pills were no longer spiritual medicines, but cultivators.

For example, there was a longevity pill that could strip cultivators of their lifespan for one’s own use. Although it could only retain about one-tenth of the lifespan, it was still extremely dreadful.

"Master, if these pills are truly effective, once they spread, it will be a catastrophe for the entire human race. Take this longevity pill for example, using cultivators as the main ingredient. Even if it only retains one-tenth of their lifespan, it would be enough to drive countless cultivators mad."

"I know, that’s why I am intrigued."

"But what if…"

"There are no ‘ifs’. This matter must be kept secret. After you finish reading these jade scrolls, destroy them. I will place a seal within your soul to prevent anyone from extracting your memories."

Lin Batian said, even though he didn’t know alchemy himself, he understood the power and significance of these pill formulas. If they were proven to be effective, it could potentially change the entire cultivation world.

"Okay, but I only take care of making pills. Someone else is responsible for finding the ingredients for making pills."

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"Uncle Lin Wu"

"Does it have to be him?"

"The Lin family is unparalleled when it comes to managing talents. From Shenmu City to Xuanmiao City, his business can quickly change the situation. Who else in the Lin family can do that?"

"That’s true. He has been a great help in these years."

Lin Batian nodded. Over the years, the business in Xuanmiao City has been running smoothly, earning profits and exchanging resources for the Lin family. That’s how he has been able to sustain the Lin family.

"Then let’s find him. I will personally talk to him. We shouldn’t involve more people in this matter. Only the three of us should know."

Lin Batian said. He didn’t tell anyone about this matter. Only three people should know, not even one more.
