Damn it! No wonder in all the novels about cultivating immortals, the protagonists always like to kill those evil cultivators.

Even though the people killed were evil cultivators, this was ultimately a robbery.

It turns out this is really a way to get rich.

Han Mo sighed for a long time before continuing to check other items.

In addition to a large number of spirit stones, there are also many low-level medicinal herbs, commonly used elixirs, and a large number of broken and damaged magical instruments in the Qiankun Ring.

After careful identification, Han Mo also found a Yin Ning grass among the pile of herbs.

If nothing unexpected happens, these should be the things left behind by the low-level cultivators who were devoured by this evil cultivator over the years, otherwise these magical weapons would not be damaged so badly.

Han Mo didn’t expect that this evil cultivator had killed so many cultivators. He really had a lot of blood on his hands. It seemed that his death was not unjust.

Although these things are not worth much individually, they are in large quantities and are a considerable fortune.

Of course, apart from these, there are only five things that really catch his eye.

A bottle of medicine with a label on it, with the words “Yuan Yang Dan” written on it.

There was a piece of paper under the pill bottle, which read: This pill contains extremely concentrated Dang Kang Yuan Yang, which can effectively regulate the reproductive enthusiasm of male Dang Kang within six months. It must be properly kept and not ingested by mistake.

“Wow, it’s actually Yuan Yang Dan!”

Han Mo was a little surprised.

This pill is a special pill in the game, specially given to defeated male cultivators. After taking it, the male cultivator will suddenly find Mu Dang Kang very attractive and go to explore Mu Dang Kang’s lair on his own.

Those who understand will understand what happened afterwards.

This was originally a meme in the game, but no one expected that such a medicine actually existed in the real world of Eight Desolations.

“This pill is indeed a bit amazing, but it is only useful for male cultivators. I don’t think it will be useful in the future.”

After sighing like this, Han Mo quickly put away the pill and looked at another thing.

This is a gold seal with a corner missing. At first, Han Mo thought it was made of gold, but after picking it up, he realized that the weight was wrong, as if it was several times heavier than gold.

After tentatively inputting spiritual energy, he found that the golden seal actually responded. After a little verification, Han Mo quickly came to the conclusion that this should be a talisman, and a high-level one at that. Unfortunately, a corner of it was damaged and it no longer had any power.

However, it can still be used as ammunition to detonate “The Art of Hidden Weapons”. After all, the talismans and flying swords bought from the market are all low-level talismans, and truly high-level talismans are rare.

The third item is also a high-level talisman similar to the gold seal, which is a broken silver mirror.

Well, another round of ammunition.

In addition to these three items, there are also two beautifully crafted flat wooden boxes, which are obviously used to store books.

After opening the wooden box, there were indeed two secret books inside.

“‘Blood Refining and Divine Swallowing Technique’, what kind of technique is this? Why don’t I have any impression of it?”

Opening the cover of the first secret book, Han Mo saw the introduction of this technique, but it was not any technique he was familiar with in the game:

“My sect created this technique to help the people of Fenghuazhou fight against the monsters.

What makes Fenghuazhou different from other states lies in the materials used by cultivators for practice, especially those related to monsters and beasts.

If the ratio of using materials from monsters to refine pills and make tools in other states is 91, then the ratio for Fenghua State is 19, with 90% using monsters and 10% using medicinal stones and other things.

Under such circumstances, the achievements of Monk Fenghua today are based on, if not ninety-nine percent, at least eighty percent, of the exploits of monsters. Their flesh, blood, bones, and inner elixir… it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a ‘monster eater’.

And all of this is to be able to fight against the Yunming monster.

So, both use blood to feed, both strengthen themselves, and both fight against monsters. What is the difference between eating monsters and eating humans?

Therefore, our sect created this technique to save the thousands of cultivators in Fenghuazhou, sacrificing their small families to build a big family…”

What was written on the title page seemed to be a self-narration left by the founder of the practice.

Through this self-narration, Han Mo finally understood the real purpose of this evil cultivator’s cannibalism.

Although the background of the demon tide in Fenghuazhou is mentioned in the game, there are not many plots related to it, and naturally there are no such evil skills and settings.

In other words, this is something that does not exist in the surface world.

It’s also a very real problem that’s not reflected in the game.

That is, in the face of a crisis of racial survival, is it still necessary to uphold so-called ethics and morals?

Unlike in other states, for the cultivators in Fenghuazhou, hunting monsters and taking their fur, flesh, bones, and inner elixir is their norm. In essence, they regard monsters as their “food”.

Both are for taking “food ingredients” and both are for fighting against the monsters. What is the difference between eating monsters and eating people?

By the way, it is different in Fenghuazhou. The monsters are extremely powerful, and monster eaters need to go deep into the monsters’ territory and risk being killed by the monsters.

As for cannibalism, it is relatively easy. Apart from the monks, there are also a large number of mortals who are an inexhaustible supply.

In this case, why not choose an easier and more efficient way to strengthen ourselves to fight against the impending genocide crisis?

At first glance, it seems to make sense, but in Han Mo’s opinion, it is completely perverse.

Why would he sacrifice his small family to build a big family in order to save the thousands of monks in Fenghuazhou? A crooked way!

If a person cannot even meet the most basic requirements of being a human being, can he still be called a human being?

When he first arrived in Fenghuazhou, Han Mo actually heard many rumors about the disappearance of monks and mortal towns disappearing overnight, but he didn’t take it seriously at the time.

Now that I think about it, there may be more than one evil cultivator of this kind.

Then think of the contrast between Jindan Xu Zhenren’s nonchalant attitude when he reported that there were evil cultivators here, and his eagerness to come when he lied that it was related to the demon clan.

This also illustrates a serious problem – the officials of Mingjing City should know about the existence of this kind of evil practitioners, but they did not stop them, and even chose to turn a blind eye.

What a terrible fact this is!

This… is really the other world!

Through this secret book, Han Mo gained a deeper understanding of this dark world that did not exist originally.

Chapter 114 No matter what the cost, we must rescue our daughter

2024-03-16

“It seems that the waters of Fenghuazhou are very deep. This matter is not something I can get involved in now. I should wait for Shang Xiufang to come back and give this evil skill to her, and let her deal with it!”

Han Mo vaguely sensed the unusualness of the inner world. He did not intend to destroy the martial arts book directly, but instead prepared to hand it over to Shang Xiufang for disposal.

However, he was still somewhat confused, because the founder of this technique did not use “myself” when describing himself, but “my sect”.

So what is this “my religion”?

Soon, Han Mo found the three words “Ancient God Religion” on the last page of the secret book.

“It turns out to be the Ancient God Cult of the Six Sects of Demonic Path!”

Han Mo felt a little emotional, but was not surprised.

In addition to the five holy places and other famous and righteous sects in the Great Zhou, there are also six opposing evil sects, namely the Blood Killing Palace, the Ancient God Sect, the Joyous Union Sect, the Henhen Sect, the Worry-Free Sect, and the Heaven-Hidden Sect.

Although the six sects all belong to the same evil path, their doctrines and concepts are different.

It is like the Blood Killing Palace, which enters the Tao through killing, respects the desire for killing, is accustomed to growing and becoming stronger through killing, and all of its disciples are bloodthirsty by nature.

The teaching of the Ancient God Religion is that among all things in heaven and earth, the ancient gods are supreme.

Those who cultivate immortality are proud of their immortality and, except for some individual Buddhist and Taoist sects, do not believe in gods or Buddhas.

However, the Ancient God Cult is a special case. They believe in a god named “Eternal God” and their belief is extremely fanatical, and they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for the Ancient God.

Followers of the Ancient God Cult like to study the documents of ancient monks to find effective ways to improve their own bloodlines, allowing themselves to become closer to the Ancient Gods and eventually become Ancient Gods themselves.

Moreover, the Ancient God Cult has a huge influence in Fenghua Province. According to the early settings of the game, of the thirteen provinces of the Great Zhou, except for Zhongzhou and Tianhaizhou, the remaining eleven provinces are controlled by the five holy places of the righteous path and the six sects of the evil path respectively.

Later, through the efforts of the three generations of Immortal Emperors of the Great Zhou, local forces were gradually weakened and central power was strengthened, which gradually led to the gradual recovery of partial control over the states.

However, despite the return of control, the influence of these large parties on the states remains.

Therefore, Han Mo was not surprised by the fact that this evil method was created by the Ancient God Cult and circulated in Fenghuazhou.

It’s just a little strange that the Ancient God Cult in the game has never created such a man-eating technique. It seems that this is also a brand new plot in the other world.

After putting the martial arts book into the wooden box, Han Mo opened another wooden box.

“The Method of Transforming All Thoughts into God”, these words are clearly written in large letters on the cover of the book.

This is another technique that I have never seen in a game.

It can be seen that this evil cultivator attaches great importance to this secret book. The thin booklet of dozens of pages has been worn out from being turned around, the paper has turned yellow, and there are different annotations on each of the back pages.

From the initial confusion to the subsequent enlightenment, there is almost no blank space left.

After reading this book, Han Mo confirmed a fact as expected:

This “Ten Thousand Thoughts Transformation into God” is the magic that the evil cultivator in the market used to transform himself into a little Taoist priest, then into a scholar, as well as the many cultivators in the market.

At first, Han Mo thought that the little Taoist priest and the scholar were clones created after being devoured by the evil cultivator.

After actually reading this secret book, I found that this is not the case.

Rather, it is the effect achieved by the evil cultivator controlling the corpse puppets through this magical spiritual power.

By practicing this spiritual power technique, one can transform the spiritual thoughts into thousands, and each strand of spiritual thoughts can be finely controlled.

The monks who practice this method are very suitable for controlling puppets, and their control over puppets can be more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary puppeteers.

In addition, the spiritual power of the cultivators who practice this technique is far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

What kind of “Da Yan Jue” and “Six Desires and Demons Chapter” are these?

Although the grade of this technique is not specified, in Han Mo’s opinion, this kind of miraculous technique is at least a spiritual technique above the earth grade.

Where did this evil cultivator come from? Is he a direct descendant of the Ancient God Sect? Otherwise, how could he practice such a powerful spiritual technique?

Putting aside the origin of the evil cultivator, if it were just that it would be fine, the most important thing is that this is a technique that can be practiced by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage!

It should be noted that cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage do not have spiritual consciousness, but they can train their “mental power” in advance.

The so-called “mental power” is a rather idealistic concept, excluding those difficult-to-understand metaphysical contents.

To put it simply, the monk focuses his mental attention on items such as flying swords for a long time.

Over time, the flying sword will be imbued with the “mind” of the cultivator. When combined with the cultivator’s spiritual power, it can achieve a similar effect to “controlling the sword with spiritual consciousness” to a certain extent.

After cultivating the “power of the mind”, the spiritual awareness will be greatly enhanced after the foundation is laid.
