Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 387 - 247: A Chance for Revenge (Long - ) Part 2
However, Li An discovered that among the pills Gao Tai gave him, there were occasionally one or two that had issues.
They contained traces of evil force, very well disguised, and if it weren’t for Li An’s familiarity with Demon Skill, he wouldn’t even notice.
Li An pretended to be unaware and continued to take the pills, allowing the evil force to accumulate in his body.
The two of them were calculating against each other, each with hidden motives, but on the surface, their relationship seemed very close.
...
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, fifty years passed.
The influence of the Evil Spirit Lake was developing better and better. The number of Nascent Soul cultivators did not increase, but there were already as many as eight True Core cultivators, along with several Rank Three Spirit Beasts.
Their business expanded widely, with Evil Spirit Lake opening many shops in Ji Country’s capital and surrounding major cities... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Almost all were developed by Li Shuangshuang; she was indeed a master in management, leaving Li An with little worry.
In fifty years, Li An still remained at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul.
The higher the realm, the harder it is to break through, and Li An’s Life Nourishing Immortal Skill was inherently slower in cultivation than others.
Although his realm had not increased much, he gained a lot in spells.
In terms of Gu techniques, besides the Blood Ant Gu, he finally cultivated two new Gu insects: the Soul-Devouring Spider and the Bone Decay Insect.
Once the Soul-Devouring Spider erupts, it attacks the cultivator’s Spirit Platform!
The Bone Decay Insect can infiltrate the cultivator’s marrow, and it’s difficult to save them once discovered.
These two are considered top-tier among basic Gu insects, and Li An spent significant resources and effort to successfully cultivate them.
He targeted Lin Fangping, and at the same time, gave a share to Gao Tai as well.
Gao Tai had frequent dealings with him, often asking for help in purifying Evil Qi, giving Li An plenty of opportunities.
After achieving mastery in the Golden Treasure Skill, Li An officially began practicing the advanced body training skill—Ten Thousand Evils Skill!
This Cultivation Technique was the result of exhaustive research by a group of experts, including Xun Dongfang and Evil Fourteen, within the Dao Sect, based on Demon Skill, Evil Skill, and Soul Skill.
Cultivators need to first form a "Demon Wheel" within themselves using Demon Skill and Evil Skill, then absorb all the world’s evil qi and essence, such as Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, Resentment, Yin Qi, Evil Qi, Poison Qi, Death Qi, Corpse Qi, Ghost Qi, etc., refining them into their bodies, transforming their body into the "Ten Thousand Evils Body."
This cultivation method is quite extreme, with proofs from that group of evil demons that this physique is overwhelmingly dominant at Refining Void and Harmonization Dao realms.
However, the side effects are extremely strong; when Ten Thousand Evils Skill reaches completion, it marks the day of one’s death and path end, the Demon Wheel collapses, and the cultivator disintegrates, with the Divine Soul utterly destroyed.
Even the initiators, like Xun Dongfang, dared not practice it.
But after decades of study, Li An finally found a solution for this domineering Demon Skill: Life Nourishing Immortal Skill!
Using the Life Seed as the core, he did not form a "Demon Wheel," but instead formed a vibrant and life-filled "Wheel of Life."
In this way, by using the righteous path of Life Nourishing Immortal Skill as the root and Ten Thousand Evils Qi as the branches, he gains its utility without suffering harm.
After fifty years, the Wheel of Life had formed, and he could officially begin absorbing various evil qi.
Additionally, he had thoroughly mastered the Four Death Skill, making these four moves his main Attack Skill.
Of course, what pleased Li An the most was...
The Shennong Skill finally made progress!
In an ordinary Spirit Field, four Third Grade Spirit Medicines had already undergone metamorphosis, becoming Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines!
Additionally, over a dozen Second Grade Spirit Medicines had transformed into Third Grade ones.
He was most concerned about the Red Infant Flower. The remnant root, twenty years ago, had sprouted and grown continuously for thirty years, reaching over a meter in height.
Moreover, this Red Infant Flower differed significantly from ordinary Red Infant Flowers, with a flame-like pattern on its leaves, which Li An felt was a sign of mutation.
If it truly succeeds in transforming, and the Red Infant Flower becomes a Fifth Grade Spirit Medicine... it would be a huge gain.
Fifth Grade Spirit Medicines are opportunities for Divinity Transformation!
In places like the Dao Sect, although Divinity Transformation opportunities are precious, they are not rare, with most talented disciples able to reach them, but in the outside world, especially in places like the New Continent, such opportunities are considered miraculous and would trigger large-scale conflicts.
"The higher the grade of the Spirit Medicine, the harder it is to mutate... This Red Infant Flower could succeed in transforming because it was too ravaged and regrowing is akin to rebirth, making mutation easier during the new growth,"
Li An mused, over fifty years, he had found eight other Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines, placing them in an advanced Spirit Field, yet they only grew more vigorously with better medicinal properties, without any qualitative change.
The Red Infant Flower, on the other hand, held the most promise.
But currently, it’s only shown hints of mutation, and upgrading to Fifth Grade might still require a long time...
Li An had basically figured it out, although the Shennong Skill is extraordinary, the key still lies in whether the Spirit Medicine itself has room for advancement.
In all things in this world, mud can’t cling to walls.
Nonetheless, those Spirit Medicines unable to advance still have immense advantages, with enhanced medicinal properties, a single one comparable to three or five of the same level.
"Recently, there has been a lot of chatter, saying that an evil cultivator force has risen quickly in the Primordial Spirit Realm, causing quite a stir by appearing twice already,"
Li Shuangshuang came to report.
Recently, news about the Evil King stirred discussions across the New Continent.
