Chapter Eighteen: A Brand New Path to Godhood

  Ye Qing smiled slyly at Wang Liang and said: "Do you want to join the Blood Skull Association? That's a place where dreams can come true!"

  Wang Liang's face was full of astonishment, but his reply moved Ye Qing to tears. Wang Liang stood up straight and said firmly: "My life is yours, one word can kill or save you!"

  Zuo Meng said inappropriately: "Other people are anxious to death, you two big men, what's with the mushy 'till death do us part' talk?"

  Ye Qing suddenly transformed and swiftly slapped Zuo Meng with a palm, saying: "This slap is a warning, if you continue to spout nonsense, I won't bother with your affairs anymore."

  Zuo Meng finally came to his senses and weakly said: "I'm sorry, I have a lot of bad habits, but I'll change them. The Blood Skull's terrifying punishment is not something humans can bear, it will definitely make people regret coming into this world. Please, benefactor, save me!"

  Ye Qing's eyes were cold and icy as she stared at Zuo Meng's eyes, making sure she wasn't lying before saying lightly: "Alright, I'll help you this once. If you can't change your ways, I can also make it difficult for you to live or die!"

  Zuo Meng calmed down from her extreme panic after hearing that Ye Qing was willing to help her. This made Ye Qing even more curious about the mysterious Blood Skull Society.

  Fortunately, Tian Xuan doesn't know about his existence yet, after all, he's only been in Xi Jing for a few days. It's best if he appears less often in Duck Alley, otherwise, with Tian Xuan's terror, he will surely use sneak attacks to finish him off on his own turf. This is also the reason why Ye Qing didn't take his mother out of prison earlier, but instead sent Mao Zhongxian to protect her. His strength is too weak, and if his mother falls into the hands of his enemies, it would be like grasping his weakness.

  Prison is great, with armed soldiers guarding and no living expenses to pay. I believe that in the face of Mao's terrifying power, it can definitely make my mother live a comfortable life like an empress dowager inside.

  Ye Qing had only thought for a very short time before making an immediate decision, which made Zuo Meng extremely delighted but Wang Liang shocked to the point of almost going crazy.

  Because Ye Qing decided to join the Blood Skull Gang himself, and disguised as Sima Xiaoguang. Wang Liang still joined the Blood Skull Gang through Zuo Meng's normal introduction. How can you get a tiger cub without entering a tiger's lair? In this terrifying Blood Skull Gang, I must be able to contact many people who need my help.

  Thinking that he could help people, Ye Qing became excited and urged Zuo Meng to hurry up with the preparations. Zuo Meng's face was filled with a sad expression as he took out a crimson-colored dan ( pellet ), saying: "This is the Bone-Strengthening Soul-Grabbing Dan. After taking it, if you bathe in the blood of your enemies, it will be as if you have sold your soul to the Blood-Colored Skull Society. Your body will slowly become strong and terrifying, eventually even able to shatter bricks and stones, invincible! But you will gradually lose yourself, becoming a walking corpse that only knows how to kill!"

  Wang Liang was about to take the Divine Strength Bone Dan, just like Jing Ke who assassinated the King of Qin. This Wang Liang, although a retired soldier, had somehow been poisoned by ancient books and had a heroic spirit that would die for his comrades. This moved Ye Qing, but he didn't agree with what Wang Liang was doing. With a loud slap, he knocked the pill away, saying: "What are you eating? You're an idiot! We're just pretending to join, don't take it seriously!"

  Zuo Meng and Wang Liang both looked at Ye Qing with a fresh eye, Ye Qing understood that there must be something they knew but he thought was right.

  Xue Meng said faintly, "The Blood Skull Gang has a kind of corpse worm that can distinguish new disciples who have really eaten the Bone-Strengthening Pill. If someone is found to be trying to deceive, they will receive the punishment of being cut into pieces and having their skin peeled off!"

  Ye Qing coldly laughed and said: "A mere Corpse Wriggling Insect, leave it to me to deal with. Just need to soak in the blood water tub for a while, but since that's the case, I'm afraid I can only join next time!"

  Zuo Meng nodded in agreement: "The benefactor's thoughts are indeed meticulous, I still need to report the benefactor's situation and pretend to receive another Snatching Strong Bone Dan. If the benefactor doesn't go this time, how can Wang Liang avoid the Food Corpse Insect's investigation?"

  Ye Qing's hand flicked out and a pink insect the size of a sesame seed shot towards Wang Liang's brow, disappearing into it in an instant.

  Ye Qing looked at Wang Liang without any evasive or flustered expression, and secretly approved in his heart. He directly used the transmission to convey the nameless mantra to Wang Liang.

  Zuo Meng stared at Ye Qing's lips moving, but she couldn't hear anything herself. Her eyes widened in surprise and her mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of sourness in her heart.

  Soon, Wang Liang was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Brother Ye, I feel a thread of cool true energy in my body, could this be real?"

  Ye Qing nodded and said: "It's true, more real than gold. You've successfully guided the air in, now you're a genuine first-level cultivator of the Qi Refining stage!"

  Zuo Meng wasn't a woman without insight. When Ye Qing transmitted the sound in secret, Zuo Meng had already rejoiced in her heart. Now that Ye Qing himself said he could teach people to cultivate immortality, why would she still join some Blood Skull Gang? Her previous dreams were about soaking in hot springs and being hugged by handsome men. Thinking back now, how vulgar they were! Compared to cultivating immortality, everything else was so...vulgar. Zuo Meng even hated her past self. No wonder her benefactor had beaten herself black and blue - she really was worthless back then!

  Zuo Meng directly knelt down on both knees, piously knocking three loud heads to Ye Qing and said: "Benefactor is above, I Zuo Meng am here to swear that if this life violates the benefactor, violates Big Brother Ye, please allow me to call you so too. If I, Zuo Meng, must suffer heavenly punishment of five thunderbolts and be struck into the 18th layer of hell!"

  "Get up first, I'm really angry about what happened in the past. Wang Xi is still in prison for marrying you, and the Sun family's ten or so lives were lost, their bones not yet cold, leaving behind an infant with no relatives, a tragic fate beyond human imagination. And yet, you're doing such shameless things here, right in front of Wang Liang, Wang Xi's own brother! If it weren't for my unusual cultivation method, I would have beaten you to death long ago. Now, do you still want to cultivate immortality? First, take a good hard look at yourself!"

  Zuo Meng had already regretted and was crying, sobbing: "Ye Da Ge, I was wrong, my mistake is unforgivable. Ye Da Ge not killing me immediately is already being merciful and generous, I will thoroughly investigate the secrets of the Blood Skull Society and complete Ye Da Ge's orders to redeem myself!"

  Ye Qing used his spiritual awareness to probe the speed at which Zuo Meng spoke, and indeed it was consistent with her heartbeat frequency. He could determine that she wasn't lying, so he calmly said: "I, Ye Qing, have said before that as long as you truly repent, I will give you an opportunity. Listen carefully, now I'll pass on to you the cultivation mantra. Heavenly Earth Primordial Chaos, Born from the Void...

  Zuo Meng directly gave himself two slaps, forcibly suppressing his excited and almost out-of-control emotions, ensuring he could carefully listen to Ye Da Ge's cultivation mantra.

  A few minutes later, Zuo Meng could no longer hold back his inner excitement and cheered, circling around Ye Qingfei quickly several times. He exclaimed excitedly: "Thank you so much, Big Brother Ye! I've also cultivated true energy! And this cool and refreshing true energy can even suppress the toxic effects of the Bone-Stealing Pill! I'm so thrilled! Big Brother Ye, you're like a reborn father to me! No, I must kowtow to Big Brother Ye!"

  Ye Qing didn't go to stop the excited and slightly crazy Zuo Meng, as long as Zuo Meng was a sincere fan of his own, Ye Qing would wholeheartedly help his fans, no matter what, who would care about these details!

  Wang Liang had already bathed in the blood water tub, and Ye Qing again instructed Zuo Meng on some matters that needed attention when cultivating the God-level Broken King Powder Fan System, as well as the basic requirement of helping at least ten people every day, before planning to leave first.

  Zuo Meng hastily said: "Ye big brother, report your situation to my Blood Master, and then take the Divine Bone Strengthening Pill. Within a month's time, how will I contact Ye big brother?"

  "Be careful yourselves then," Ye Qing said with a smile, "I'll naturally be able to find you when the time comes!"

  After finishing this sentence, Ye Qing's body twisted and disappeared in front of Zuo Meng. Zuo Meng's admiration for Ye Qing had reached a hysterical level. At this moment, the seed of hypocrisy that had been buried deep within her heart was finally abandoned.

  It was now the darkest time before dawn, and on Mount Xiliang, the grass and trees were lush. The cool breeze rustled, and all sounds were hushed. Ye Qing was sitting cross-legged at the foot of an ancient tree that pierced the sky, taking the opportunity to sort out the recent events.

  Due to the unsealing of his memories and spiritual power, Ye Qing sat cross-legged, naturally starting to circulate the Longevity Technique, which was completely a subconscious habit.

  When Ye Qing reacted, the spiritual power in his body had already begun to circulate along the meridian path of the Longevity Technique. What surprised Ye Qing was that he could still cultivate the Longevity Technique, although on this spiritually barren Earth, one day's cultivation was not as effective as a single fan's worth, but that wasn't the point - the key was that he had already opened up a brand new path to becoming a god.

  According to the words of Hu Tian's senior fellow apprentice, Hu Xi, in Hu Tian mainland, it was a place where Yuanying (primordial infant) roamed freely and forming Dan was not as good as a dog. This made Ye Qing have been, is now, and will be for a long time, yearning for the Hu Tian mainland extremely.

  So many Golden Elixir and Yuan Ying cultivators, indicating that the cultivation resources of the Tianyuan Continent are abundant, and the density of spiritual energy is far higher than that of Earth. However, Tianyi said that his current cultivation level is too low, and even if he were lucky enough to arrive at the Tianyuan Continent, he would only be cannon fodder, or not even as good as cannon fodder - just walking on the road would get him inexplicably killed by someone.

  Ye Qing suppressed his excitement, it seemed that his usual calmness was because he didn't have anything that moved his heart. After all, on this earth, things that could move one's heart were becoming fewer and farther between. Now that he had both the Fan Tian Long Quan and the Chang Sheng Jue to cultivate together, wasn't he going to be twice as fast as other cultivators? "Heh heh, hahaha..." Ye Qing lost all interest in cultivating, and actually summoned the Heavenly Dragon Horse, flying into the vast night sky, laughing maniacally as he went.
