Seeing there were no major flaws in her form, Lu Ren ignored her and casually instructed her to remember to buy groceries for lunch, then went straight back to his own room.

Taking out the Tiger Demon Inner Core from the cabinet, Lu Ren pondered briefly before sitting cross-legged, diving his spiritual will straight into his Inner Realm.

As soon as Chen Xuzi saw Lu Ren's appearance, his face twisted with ferocity, and he shouted, "Demonic way, if my Mingyang Sect finds out, you will definitely be skinned alive, and your divine soul will suffer a thousand years of torment in the inferno of the underworld!"

Lu Ren remained indifferent. Lately, Chen Xuzi had been quite active, contributing to at least eighty percent of his skill level improvement.

Under the feedback from his spirit to his body, even his physique had significantly strengthened.

It seemed like a positive cycle had formed.

As for Xu Fu earlier, after experiencing an initial phase of arrogance, he had returned to his original state, lying sickly and half-dead on the ground.

Upon seeing Lu Ren's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Who would have thought I, Xu Junfang, had schemed all my life, only to end up in such a predicament? My master was indeed right; divine techniques cannot defeat destiny."

Subodhi sneered coldly.

"Divine techniques cannot defeat destiny? What is destiny? Back then, all forces converged like a small brook forming a stream, understanding the big from the small, and changing the trend. Sacrificing tens of thousands of lives' Evil Qi to the body—only a ghost would transcend."

Subodhi sure knows how to flatter!

Lu Ren looked at Subodhi with considerable surprise.

This obvious flattery was clearly directed at him.

Xu Fu sneered at the remark, remaining silent thereafter.

He had also come to understand that Lu Ren's Inner Realm was extremely peculiar. No matter how much spiritual technique he unleashed, it was as if a clay ox entering the sea, not causing any ripples.

No wonder Lu Ren dared to bring them into the Inner Realm; this was his reliance.

Nearby, Kong Qiu seemed to have long given up on resistance, sitting cross-legged and shaking his head, muttering phrases non-stop without a care for the others.

These guys were not worth bothering with; if he had insisted on grinding them to death, Subodhi and others would have been dead already.

Lu Ren looked at Chen Xuzi, who was still staring at him with deep resentment.

Lu Ren said lightly, "Taoist Chen, such a look of yours seems full of hostility."

"Hmph!" Chen Xuzi snorted coldly, his face showing a mocking smile.

"You dare reveal your Inner Realm; it seems in the real world, you have no idea how crucial the Inner Realm actually is!"

Lu Ren glanced at Chen Xuzi and mentally marked him for execution.

This guy was completely ensnared already.

Viewing mortals as ants, only for his own path to immortality.

Such a person could no longer be called human, regarding himself as a higher life form, separated from mortals.

"Taoist Chen, what exactly is the map recorded on that silk handkerchief you carry?"

Chen Xuzi's expression shifted slightly, but he remained silent.

Seeing this, Lu Ren didn't press further; he wasn't surprised at Chen Xuzi's refusal to answer.

Watching Lu Ren's demeanor, Chen Xuzi showed a mocking expression.

"The Mortal Realm is indeed the Mortal Realm; people like you, uncouth and wild, how would you know the mysteries of the Inner Realm, Ah—ah—ah—ah—ah!!!!"

Chen Xuzi's sudden scream made the other three look over, Xu Fu sat up with interest instead of lying down, watching with keen interest.

Kong Qiu stopped shaking his head and stared wide-eyed at Lu Ren.

Subodhi also appeared unfazed, chanting a Buddhist mantra.

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, countless fine hairs like needles penetrated through Chen Xuzi's entire body like fine rain.

The bodies of people in the Kunlun Exotic Realm were not much different from those in the real world, with strength primarily coming from immersion in a special pulse particle, endowing some degree of stamina.

But if you were to say strong, not that strong.

All in all, not much difference.

Pain sensations remained the same.

While the pain exerted on the spiritual body was far beyond what the physical body could express.

Until the end, even Xu Fu, with chattering teeth, muttered to himself.

"It's tragic, truly tragic!"

Whether he was pitying Chen Xuzi or himself was unclear.

In the end, Chen Xuzi, who had never suffered in purgatory, spilled everything he knew like spilled beans.

Lu Ren's face was stern and somewhat grim.

The Qi Union Talisman crafted during their previous battle was made using the blood of all ten thousand spirits.

And what is the blood of ten thousand spirits? It is human essence and blood, one talisman, ten people, combined with the Bright Sun Technique from Chen Xuzi's mouth to produce True Qi.

Of course, exotic beast blood is more effective, with a higher success rate, but it's extremely hard to catch, and the resulting effect isn't much different from the essence blood refined from ten people.

The latter is easier to obtain, so few are willing to hunt exotic beasts in the Endless Wilderness.

After a long time, even Kong Qiu sighed deeply.

"Cultivators in Kunlun are even more cannibalistic than I am."

Xu Fu sat in silence, knowing that Kunlun had persisted for tens of thousands of years. The number of people killed for cultivation and artifact refining in this timeline was immeasurable.

And this doesn't even count other aspects of practice, such as artifact refining.

Perhaps the small dark golden sword Lu Ren obtained was made by sacrificing many people for artifact refining.

"This is truly a small witch meeting a great witch," Xu Fu remarked.

Subodhi grinned.

"If this counts as a legitimate sect, then I think the Demon Sect would be even more extreme."

Chen Xuzi panted heavily, his eyes bloodshot, the look of someone who wants death but has no choice in despair.

In Lu Ren's Inner Realm, even if he wanted to die, he had no way out and could only serve as Lu Ren's energy battery.

Hearing this, Lu Ren was burning with rage, his expression growing increasingly cold.

After a long while, Lu Ren spoke in a low voice: "If all Kunlun cultivators are like this, it'd be better to cleanse them all."

"Cleanse them all?"

Lying on the ground, Chen Xuzi couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you know what kind of people are in those top-tier Immortal Sects, who can call the wind and summon the rain, slicing rivers with a single sword? They are truly True Immortal level individuals."

Kong Qiu sneered: "Nonsense, if it weren't for Kunlun's nightfall, where Yin Qi descends, overlapping the Spirit Realm with reality, would they be able to wield these divine techniques?"

Chen Xuzi repeatedly sneered: "Just watch, soon enough, even during the day, we can drive True Power, turn decay into miraculous, transforming Kunlun into the Immortal Realm!"

Subodhi shook his head slightly: "Another person who speaks of dreaming."

Xu Fu commented: "A typical cultivator with ideals and pursuits, I see great potential in him; he shares the same path as I do."

He let out a long sigh: "What a pity to be trapped in this cage, time and destiny are relentless."

Upon exiting the Inner Realm, although it had been over ten hours inside, under super sensing, it was merely over ten minutes.

When Lu Ren's spirit and will emerged from the Spirit Realm, the time flow in the Inner Realm returned to normal.

Super sensing...

One day in the sky, one year on the ground.

Lu Ren thought of Spiritual Qi cultivators focusing on spiritual ascension, the path of rainbow transformation, could it be determined by the existence of super sensing?

At the moment, he didn't want to ponder these muddled matters, so Lu Ren's gaze fixed on the Tiger Demon Inner Core in his hand.

According to Chen Xuzi, this Tiger Demon Inner Core is an extremely high-quality foundation of Qi Cultivation entry level, capable of transforming into a Qi seed within the body, thereby borrowing false to true cultivation to develop true Qi.

In Lu Ren's understanding, this means artificially fabricating a tangible energy organ within the body, gradually deriving meridians, spreading through the entire body.

Should I give it a try?

This Tiger Demon Inner Core has a very high energy level, and the core's energy is extremely pure.

When Jade Bamboo refined this core for cultivation, surely considerable effort was expended.

Bright Sun Technique.

"Ding, you have gained some insight into the path of borrowing false to true cultivation, perhaps you can attempt a deeper exploration of the mysteries of cultivation."

This was the system's prompt quietly emerging when Chen Xuzi spoke of the True Skill Books within Mingyang Sect.

If the path guided by the system is correct, is it one of the necessary conditions for the next realm's path determination?

To achieve what Chen Xuzi described, slicing rivers, overturning mountains.

It's not achievable merely by relying on the Ten Thousand Qi Magnet Field.

After determining the path, another new world awaits.

Lu Ren contemplated for a while.

Ten Earth Knot, resolve.

Having recovered to the Fifth Difficult-to-Conquer Land Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect, Lu Ren sat in the center of the room, staring at the Tiger Demon Inner Core the size of a green bean in his palm.

Finally, having made up his mind, Lu Ren extended his hand, under magnet field aggregation, his fingertip emitted a faint gleam, then he forcefully jabbed a blood hole three inches below his navel, the so-called dantian area.

Lu Ren frowned as he stuffed the Tiger Demon Inner Core inside, guiding the flesh to move the core to the dantian position.

For a martial arts family member in the Bright Awakening Realm, the body can be perfectly controlled down to every Thread.

Yet, inserting an inner core into his body like this, a peculiar sensation quietly emerged in Lu Ren's heart.

It felt as though a foreign object had been implanted within his body.

He glanced at the slowly healing flesh below his abdomen.

Then, with spiritual intent, gradually infused the inner core.

What needs to be done now is to cleanse the entire spiritual imprint of Tiger Demon Jade Bamboo from the inner core, turning it completely into a pure and ownerless inner core, then steadily permeating the inner core with his own 'Qi', that is, his own attribute's magnetic field, changing its attributes.

This stage is known as the Yun Pill stage, which may take as short as three months, or up to a year or two.

The higher the quality of the inner core, the better the Qi seed that will be formed.

The future path of cultivation will be more smooth.

The so-called Qi seed, in Lu Ren's view, is an energy organ gradually formed by transforming the inner core's structure through his own spirit and will.

Simply put, it is externally implanted. However, due to having a basic foundation oneself, with one's extremely strong physique adapting to initial rejection responses, it can be transformed into an energy organ compatible with one's body attributes, thus thoroughly connecting.

A rather crazy method, if the energy is sufficient, perhaps it can fully energize the cells, reducing external energy intake might not be impossible.

But here comes the next problem; how does one supplement the energy organs with body attributes?

The so-called Kunlun's assimilation of the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
