Chapter 433: Chapter 228: Inventory of Harvest_2
Translator: 549690339
The Canghua Sect was the weakest amongst the Ten Major Sects. When he first entered the Secret Realm, he had encountered a disciple from this sect by the lakeside near Dan God’s Cave Mansion.
The cultivator was extremely vulgar, making all sorts of crude jokes. Because of that, his impression of the sect wasn’t particularly favorable.
Shen Bao Hua grinned, “Not every Righteous Sect behaves like the Sky Sword Sect and Liu Yun Sect.”
“The Canghua Sect doesn’t care about the surrounding mundane villages. Plus, I slipped some Spirit Stones to the stationed Immortal Master nearby, who turned a blind eye and even helped me block the news.”
Lin Yi scoffed. His impression of the Canghua Sect was indeed accurate. Some sects were profit-driven, conducting both good and bad deeds under the guise of righteousness.
However, he wasn’t a savior and didn’t have the time to meddle in the affairs of various sects.
“Alright, go back then.” Lin Yi gently tapped the pot as he spoke.
“Senior, could you spare…” Shen Bao Hua was about to confirm something, but seeing the thunder and lightning emerging from Lin Yi’s fist, he closed his mouth immediately and obediently crawled into the pot.
Lin Yi put the pot, with the Exorcism Charm stuck on it, into his storage bag, then, using the teleportation mantra, arrived at Dan God’s Cave Mansion. He asked his Master to open the teleportation channel towards the village near the Canghua Sect.
In that village, he sensed thick resentment. There was a simple formation set up to prevent the resentment from leaking out, it was practically a ghost town.
As expected, the simple formation was probably the handiwork of the Canghua Sect. They likely sent a Qi refining disciple to set it up after receiving the news, unwilling to relieve the resentment, probably because they viewed it as trouble.
However, the resentment in this village hadn’t formed any evil spirits. There were only a few lowest-level resentful spirits, and much of the resentment hadn’t even formed spirits.

Lin Yi drew out all the resentment from the remains as before, then let Shen Bao Hua out, and punched him with a fist loaded with thunder and lightning until he was barely alive.
Afterwards, the resentful shadows in the village swarmed over and tore Shen Bao Hua to shreds, devouring him.
Finally, after delivering their salvation, they turned into white, holy apparitions, expressing their gratitude to him. Pop-up windows showing him the virtue and mercy points he earned appeared before his eyes.
Gazing at the pop-up in front of him, watching the fading white apparitions, a thoughtful expression crossed Lin Yi’s face. This was compassion.
In Buddhist teachings, compassion means providing pleasure and alleviating suffering for all beings.
Delivering salvation merely gave them comfort, forcing them into rebirth. It wasn’t their personal choice. It was the compulsory effect of the Rebirth Charm. Their resentment and inner pain had no choice but to disappear with purification.
Previously, he unintentionally let these resentful shadows seek vengeance, thus, resolving their karma. He let out all their inner pain, making his act of mercy complete.
Now, with the complete disappearance of the resentment, the place that was as ominous as a ghost town was back to normal, devoid of any trace of negative energy.
After handling things here, Lin Yi used the teleportation mantra to return to the Dan God’s Secret Realm.
This mission validated his method of gaining mercy points. He would need to consider letting the resentful spirits take their revenge in the future when delivering salvation.
In this way, he could accrue more mercy value, creating an opportunity to experience the Title Effect of [Great Compassion], while also allowing the merciful title to reach its final upgrade.
In his years of cultivation, aside from a few basic titles he consistently held, the merciful title had been used many times. It was capable of miracles that had helped him get out of dangerous situations.
Whenever in doubt, resort to the Little Luck state, highlighting the potency of this title.
Therefore, the upgrade of this title needed to be included in his plans. Upon becoming [Great Compassion], his future cultivation path would be much smoother.
Upon returning to the Secret Realm, Lin Yi, while in the Giant Spirit Tree Medicine Garden, began to take stock of the items he had obtained from the Paper Shadow Sect.
Among them, he found several completed paper man avatars. All of them were of the lowest grade. There wasn’t even a single one of the medium grade, and these showed clear signs of usage.
It seemed that the items had been used by those inhumane monsters in the Paper Shadow Sect, including the paper men who looked like the dark shadows.
These creatures most likely focused their energy on how to torment and abuse others, instead of improving their paper man creation skill. This behavior could only be described as neglecting foundational cultivation to chase fleeting ends.
Yet, for these psychologically twisted individuals, such behavior was, unfortunately, pretty common.
Presumably, in their minds, torturing and abusing others gave them pleasure and wasn’t solely done for the sake of enhancing their Divine Sense.
Besides these few paper men, there were some materials for making paper men, like the skin of the White Pig-Demon and Ghost Demon White Taro. These were critical materials for making paper men, which he saw for the first time.
There were also books detailing Secret Techniques of torturing others to enhance one’s Divine Sense and how to transform into such monstrous beings.
This could only mean that a Golden Core Real Person hadn’t appeared in the Paper Shadow Sect for quite some time. The previous secret realm jade instructions had long been shattered, and records had to be kept in books.
The last items were tools for torturing people and even some Magic Artifacts created to torture others automatically using Spiritual Power.
Blood soaked these devices, causing Lin Yi to shudder. This was like a cultivation version of Saw.
However, these sadists, who enjoyed torturing others, weren’t worthy to be compared to the legendary Vertical Saw Master.
Lin Yi shook his head. Emphasizing such worthless objects as precious treasures was entirely characteristic of a small Sect like the Paper Shadow Sect.
He immediately used his Golden Core’s internal flame to incinerate all the torture tools into ashes. Then, he used the Power of Thunder and Lightning to cleanse the few paper men, removing any traces of others.
Finally, he checked the paper man-making materials. According to the previous production ratio, these materials were nearly enough to make ten paper men.
Ironically enough, these were the materials that the Paper Shadow Sect people had horded over many years.
This also implied how precious these materials were. Figures of the Paper Shadow Sect might have wanted to invest more energy in improving their paper man-making skills but couldn’t because these materials were too scarce for consistent practice.
After some thought, Lin Yi decided that paper men were just auxiliary life-saving tools. He could practice in his spare time but couldn’t devote all his time and energy to researching and making paper men.
Otherwise, that would be the true act of neglecting foundational cultivation to chase fleeting ends—ignoring the enhancement of his own power but studying Paper Man Avatars instead.
Among all the events related to paper men, the most significant gain was definitely the activation method of Mercy Value, which would allow him to improve the important Merciful Title.
In the following time, Lin Yi stayed in the Dan God Secret Realm, continuing to learn Formations and Alchemy Dao from his master.
He also spent some time studying how to make paper men, practicing with different materials to gain experience.
He still continued his lectures in the sect. Every month, he’d take out two or three days for each 24-hour class.
Although the benefits from the Teacher’s Title were not as immediate as those from the Student’s Title, it was considered a form of investment.
He didn’t forget the crucial merciful title upgrade plan. He tasked Zhang Fu Guang from the outer sect with a wicked person search operation.
The previous two acquisitions of Mercy Value were related to Cultivators. He wasn’t sure if he could gain Mercy Value from ordinary people and needed to verify.
However, mercy knows no identity. Logically speaking, he should be able to gain it.
For security reasons, he had Zhang Fu Guang focus the search within the Liu Yun Sect’s domain.
This was just a part of the Liu Yun Sect’s plan. He planned to enter the Xuan Tian Realm as a Pedestrian A, to sell pills, gather resources, and look for information on evil people from that realm.
