Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

The next day.

Outside the entire Dongling City, the sky was filled with silhouettes, and the entrance to the city was teeming with people. Looking around, there were actually thousands of them, not to mention those defiantly flying in mid-air.

These people were all leaders from various sects, besides the ones from the seven sects that came yesterday, all of them rushed from different state prefectures.

Taking advantage of the time before Han Yu’s arrival, these people were whispering among themselves, exchanging the rumors they had heard.

When they heard that the kind of pills that could make one advance swiftly did exist, everyone’s hearts burned with excitement.

However, upon hearing the preconditions for taking these pills, they couldn’t help but feel a wave of bewilderment.

”Does a pill really require such prerequisites to be consumed?”

Someone immediately expressed disbelief.

”Those two top-grade pills given yesterday were practically free gifts; there seemed to be no need to deceive anyone unnecessarily, besides, they didn’t say they wouldn’t give it to you. As long as you meet the conditions for taking a pill, they are willing to provide it.”

A cultivator who was there yesterday expressed his opinion; if it’s merely for protection in Dongling City, what’s the difference between these pills and free gifts?

”It’s just a bit odd that Mr. Han’s pills seem to need to be consumed on the spot, not for you to save.”

Someone couldn’t help muttering.

Many people couldn’t figure this point out.

Is it perhaps to prevent someone from analyzing the pill and creating replicas?

In the Cultivator Realm, there doesn’t seem to be such a powerful pharmacist who can do this, right?

If they could do it, all the pills from the Nine Great Sects would have been deciphered long ago. You must know that many major sects have their own pill formulas, which are resources for nurturing disciples and, besides cultivation techniques, are the foundation that keeps the sects strong.

And now Han Yu is the most powerful pharmacist in the Cultivator Realm.

Each pill that has appeared in rumors, even if you drove each sect’s pharmacist to death, couldn’t be replicated.

”Didn’t you see the elders of the Nine Sects shamelessly coming to ask for pills?”

Someone whispered, and just after they spoke, he noticed that people around him had suddenly moved away, leaving him alone, even though everyone was chatting nicely a moment ago.

”Don’t drag me into dying with you.”

The cultivator looked awkward.

Talking behind the backs of a group of cultivators in the Realm of Transcendence is no different from seeking death.

”Is that guy Qi Bai?”

In the crowd below, people were also whispering. Someone’s eyes lit up as they spotted Qi Bai guarding the city gate.

Goodness, when did the person appear, and no one even noticed.

”Stay away from him in the future.”

In the crowd below, you could hear cultivators with grim faces, gritting their teeth as they warned their close friends nearby from time to time.

As the focus of many people’s eyes, Qi Bai at this moment had a blank expression, the corners of his mouth slightly drooping, appearing somewhat lifeless, especially exuding a somber aura.

Yesterday, when the owed merit almost put Qi Bai to death, he first hid in Dongling City.

As a leader of the Demonic Path, it’s needless to say that everyone in the local Dongling City knew him as well. When he descended from the heavens, his presence immediately alarmed the Guardian Mansion, making them behave as if facing a powerful enemy.

Such a significant figure arriving in the city, and coming so menacingly, how could the Government Office not be afraid?

But after Qi Bai entered the city, he neither killed anyone nor caused any disturbance.

The only odd part was him searching for someone all over the city, without a clear target, as if looking for someone continuously throughout the entire city.

At that time, Qi Bai was almost on the verge of collapse internally. Initially, he thought that doing good deeds was the simplest thing, but when he truly needed a good deed to save his life, he couldn’t find a single thing that could be considered a standard good deed.

”What exactly is doing good deeds?”

Inside the Government Office, chaos reigned so severe that Qi Bai had no other choice but rushed in, grabbed the Guardian by the collar, and asked fiercely.

At that moment, the outposted Guardian from the Inspectorate almost urinated on the spot, and then faced with such an intimidating yet almost laughable question from a giant figure of the Evil Path, was dumbfounded.

For heaven’s sake, has the world really changed, or have I gone mad?

Is he asking me how to do good deeds?

”Speak quickly! Otherwise, I’ll kill you right now.”

The agitation in his body became increasingly severe, as if he could smell the increasingly potent scent of death, Qi Bai’s whole face twisting into a terrifying expression.

”Eliminating evil is doing good deeds.”

This Guardian wasn’t foolish, immediately connecting it with the pill consumed by the other during the day, hastily responding.

”How to eliminate evil?”

Hearing this, Qi Bai eagerly asked without any delay.

This Guardian was quite the talent, immediately redirecting the focus to the cultivators lingering within the city.

”Nowadays, a vast number of cultivators lingering within the city are already affecting the normal life of the city’s residents, do you think this doesn’t count as committing evil?”

These two, one dared to speak, and the other dared to believe.

Sure enough, Qi Bai immediately rushed out of the Government Office. At that time, there were not less than hundreds of cultivators occupying the city; with so many people, it was impossible to distinguish who was disturbing the people or committing evil.

So, without any distinction, he forced all these groups of cultivators out of Dongling City.

He was indeed lucky; after clearing these cultivators from the city, the sense of impending death in his body immediately subsided.

The only despairing thing was that Han Yu’s pills indeed don’t reveal everything.

But why is it that after agreeing to do good deeds, he now can’t even kill anyone?

During the process of driving away the cultivators, each time he tried to use more force, the energy within him, which was supposed to nurture his body, would turn incredibly sharp, causing him excruciating pain.

He had no doubt that if he were to kill someone, this energy would become even more violent, potentially aggravating his internal injuries.

To the point of directly killing him!

Merit?

He wasn’t completely clueless. If this energy was indeed merit, then it was the force urging him to do good, making it impossible for him to do evil.

Even the danger of death just now was due to it!

He immediately felt like giving himself a tight slap!

Curse his crow’s mouth; a casual remark made yesterday has now come true. For the next year, it seems he’s truly going to have to live like a living Buddha...

”Sir, does this really work?”

The gates of Dongling City had already been tightly shut early in the morning. At this moment, several palace guards watched helplessly as their lord carefully peeked outside through the crack in the door, their expressions peculiar.

That Guardian was just in his forties, with a cultivation level that had just barely reached the Divine Gaze Realm.

On any other day, this level of cultivation would have been satisfactory.

However, on a day like today, with so many people outside Dongling City at the Divine Gaze Realm level, his cultivation level was of no practical use, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hiding in the city, not daring to go out.

”How can our lousy city gate possibly block these cultivators?”

The palace guards were worried. Not to mention these great cultivators, even a Divine Bridge cultivator could easily fly over the city walls; it was unclear what purpose shutting the gates served.

”You don’t understand. It’s called ’closing the gate to reject guests.’ We shut the gate and let them make a ruckus outside. If there are any cultivators with ulterior motives trying to break in, that lack-of-merit guy outside will finally have a chance to be useful.”

The Guardian truly admired his own cleverness for coming up with such a strategy.

Not only did he admire himself, but also the large group of palace guards around him.

Yesterday, a demon made another visit to the Government Office, clearly walking away with a thick stack of arrest warrants from the Imperial Court.

To come up with such an ingenious idea, their lord was truly a talent.

-----------------

When Han Yu silently emerged on the city tower through Earth Escape, he was first met by the gritted-teeth gaze of Qi Bai, then was startled by the vast crowd below the city.

He expected there might be more people today, but not this many.

”Human greed is always unimaginable. After becoming a cultivator, they become even greedier, and this greed becomes more pure.”

Qi Bai, with a strange tone, answered Han Yu’s doubts.

Cultivators are no longer swayed by worldly wealth, but in their single-minded pursuit of cultivation, power becomes their greatest greed.

”Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that after taking the Pill, I can’t kill anyone?”

Qi Bai then asked his question with a grim expression.

Good heavens, the Good Deeds and Evil Exorcism Pill also had hidden drawbacks.

This was something Han Yu hadn’t thought of, but upon reflection, it seemed reasonable.

In the process of accumulating merit and dispelling evil, killing was naturally not permissible.

So he could only look at the other with pity, ”Since it’s about doing good and accumulating merit, not being able to kill seems quite normal, doesn’t it?”

Damn!

If not for Han Yu’s strength, Qi Bai would have really wanted to hit him after hearing this.

The Great Elder arrived, wearing a scholar’s robe he had somehow acquired somewhere, colored green and blue, looking every bit like a noble young master.

After arriving, he looked around, feeling a sudden alertness in his heart.

It was almost as he and Han Yu imagined; he expected many people to come, but he hadn’t anticipated such a large turnout today.

Someone seemed to recognize the Great Elder. Despite his age having changed, except for his youthful appearance, he was still recognizable.

The already noisy crowd erupted in an uproar.

”Why has this Elder of the Nine Sects suddenly become so young?”

Yesterday, he had taken the pills publicly, and immediately, some recalled the effects of the pills.

Various speculations followed one after another.

”Did that pill from yesterday really have the effect of rejuvenating someone?”

At this point, even those who weren’t present yesterday knew that the Elder from the Unparalleled Tower had taken a Pill that added sixty years to his lifespan, even rejuvenating him.

In an instant, the new arrivals were staring at Han Yu with fiery eyes.

”If you don’t take care to avoid showing the too strong effects of the Pill today, you might get in trouble.”

Having observed the expressions of this crowd, the Great Elder couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

There were too many people; in just two days, so many had gathered.

If there was no one fanning the flames behind the scenes, even a ghost wouldn’t believe it.

Without a sufficiently large network, it would be impossible to mobilize so many people to come here simultaneously.

Damn it, does the Corpse Refining Lineage have such a vast network that it can spread across so many State Prefectures?

This capability already rivals the Imperial Court’s Inspectorate.
