Chapter 21: Clearing Up Troubles (Part 2)

  This statement is not an unacceptable reason, but the key is their request afterwards. A few people now don't have that kind of unlucky idea of being sent by the sect to be killed, on the contrary, they are very polite and ask Qin Yifan to keep their rooms, after returning to the sect for a trip, they will come over as soon as possible. Has this place suddenly become some kind of sacred place for cultivation, and everyone wants to come here to cultivate?

  On this point, several people did not hide. Zhang Chong didn't need to say that the first one successfully used his own life-saving Ding to guide the yin evil energy and refine a few furnaces of yin evil powder at a distance of about ten miles from the inn. These formed yin evil powders can be synthesized into other dan medicines as needed in the future. In other words, although they have not yet reached the level where they can refine medicine in the center of the fierce evil land, they can already make preliminary use of the yin evil energy.

  Li Song's progress was slower than Zhang Chong, but under Zhang Chong's guidance, he also made some gains. He used his own yuan ding to refine a furnace of yin xie powder and barely managed to set foot in the circle that could utilize yin xie energy.

  Zhou Qing was much luckier than Li Song, having learned a lesson from the beginning. He had been incorporating the dark and evil energy into his talismans as part of his practice. The dark and evil energy used in talismans, especially in certain curse and attack types, was a very powerful weapon that could almost transfer all the hardships he suffered here to the person being cast upon. Of course, its power depended on the degree to which he himself could endure it, and attacks on enemies would not exceed his own endurance limit. In other words, the closer he got to Fist Print Lake, the stronger his talisman attacks would be.

  Huang Banshan's feng shui skills are even more impressive. According to his calculations, as long as you think about the direction of the Fist Print Lake and the inn, none of them are auspicious positions, but rather extremely unlucky ones. In fact, as long as you are within the range of the unlucky area, there is not a single position that has any good fortune, it can be said that once you enter this unlucky area, you will never be able to get rid of the bad luck. After passing through this place, is there anywhere else that could be more ominous?

  The four of them seemed to have no choice but to return to the sect and report back. Otherwise, their cultivation that had just shown some progress would not be interrupted like this. But it was also good this way, as they could try out the results of their cultivation in the outside world.

  Lin Qiulü didn't need to leave, and only she could be by Qin Yifan's side. The consequences of forcibly using the flying sword were severe, and although they had the spiritual medicine from Dan Ding Gate, it wasn't until after several people left on the fourth day that she recovered.

  "Could this be the source of the evil aura?" After such a long time together, Lin Qiu and Qin Yifan were no longer as unfamiliar as they had been at first. Especially after experiencing the difficulties of cultivation in this place, Lin Qiu couldn't help but admire Qin Yifan for being able to persist in this lifestyle for so many years.

  "What do you think?" Qin Yifan neither admitted nor denied. Qin Yifan spent almost half of his time here, and there was no explanation other than getting closer to the source of the murder, and the dead controller nearby also explained that they were rushing to the source, but didn't expect it to be so vicious. Lin Qiulü is a smart person, as long as she moves her brain a little, she can guess.

  It's probably not just Lin Qiulü, others must have had such speculations too, they just didn't say it out loud. When everyone still can't get close to each other within a mile, saying this seems a bit too early.

  "What is it, anyway?" Lin Qiulü, at this moment, didn't look like an excellent Feng Wei at all, but rather a curious baby. Looking at the clear lake water, Lin Qiulü really couldn't understand how there could be such strange things that wouldn't affect ordinary people at all.

  "I don't know." Qin Yifan wasn't hiding anything, he really didn't know.

  "How bad is it?" Lin Qiulü had just recovered from her injuries and hadn't gone to practice yet. In her opinion, Qin Yifan fishing here every day didn't seem like he was cultivating at all. Was it because he was used to the evil energy here that he became complacent? But Qin Yifan didn't seem like that kind of person, so she couldn't help but ask. However, asking directly would make her seem too curious about Qin Yifan, so she asked this question instead.

  "Do you want to know?" Qin Yifan still had that attitude, making Lin Qiulü feel a bit resentful. If she didn't want to know, why ask? However, this time Qin Yifan didn't make her wait too long and answered directly: "I don't know either!"

  What kind of answer is this? Lin Qiulü couldn't help but want to get angry. Her master seemed to be not a good person to serve after all. But the next words immediately calmed her anger down.

  "For so many years, I've also been wondering how powerful it is, but I still don't have the strength to make it go all out against me." Qin Yifan looked at the lake and slowly explained: "So, I don't know just how powerful it really is."

  "But..." As soon as Qin Yifan uttered a "but", Lin Qiulü's eyes lit up instantly. Even if Qin Yifan didn't know its limits, at least he understood it more deeply than she did.

  "When you ask me like this, I also want to know how much pressure I can withstand." Qin Yifan finally spoke out his thoughts. Before Lin Qiulü had any reaction, he shot out like a cannonball and landed on the empty lake surface.

  Never had she seen Qin Yifan display his lightness skill, but Lin Qiulü was a connoisseur, and this one leap was enough to give her an initial idea of Qin Yifan's martial arts skills. Just this one move made Lin Qiulü feel that the emperor's order was somewhat laughable. Was sending her to protect someone who didn't need protection at all a joke?

  Qin Yifan's toes lightly touched the surface of the lake, his body didn't even get wet, and with a rise and fall, he soared high again. Several times in a row, it was like a dragonfly touching water, no different from the famous lightness kung fu "Swallow Three Dips Water" on Jianghu. After several rises and falls, Qin Yifan finally felt that he had reached his limit of endurance, and only then did he fall into the water.

  "Old brother, I'm back! Use your strongest attack!" After adjusting his stance, Qin Yifan said in a low voice towards the water. He had never heard the old brother's response from the lake, but every time he expressed his wishes, they would come true.

  As Qin Yifan began to work, the surface of the water underwent a dramatic change. Lin Qiulü on the shore only saw Qin Yifan enter the water, and then the entire lake surface seemed to be stained with blood, emitting an eerie red glow.
