Lin Tian did not answer Miss's question, but looked at Zhu Li and asked, "Miss Zhu Li, let me ask you a question. Is there a kind of thing that is liquid like red wine, but when normal people drink it, they become infected with Evil Qi? And then turn into non-human, non-ghost creatures."

"Are you talking about symptoms like the ones I had last time?" Zhu Li said in confusion.

"Exactly similar symptoms." Lin Tian nodded.

Zhu Li frowned, thinking for a while, and suddenly said, "I remember, a long time ago, I heard of something called a blood elixir, which is very similar to what you just mentioned."

"Blood elixir?" Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue said in unison, puzzled by this strange name.

Zhu Li nodded vigorously and explained, "Blood elixir is what Guardians call it, but vampires prefer to call it Bloody Mary. It is a potion refined by the Blood Clan using vampire blood and various beast blood. It's fine for vampires to drink, but when a person drinks it, they turn into a non-human, non-ghost creature."

"Lin Tian, was the red wine just now...?" Xiao Manxue looked worried after hearing this.

"It seems there's no doubt. That glass of red wine did have Bloody Mary mixed in, but you don't need to worry. I already spat it out when I went outside, it's fine." Lin Tian reassured the two women, though in reality, he wasn't afraid of the blood elixir at all.

Hearing Lin Tian's words, the two of them were finally relieved. Xiao Manxue frowned and said, "Who is targeting us? Who could have something from the Blood Clan?"

"I don't know either. In Holy Spirit Town, more than one person has conflicts with us: Li Wenfeng, Carter, Jin Lisi, and possibly some others in the shadows. Any of them might have access to the blood elixir. As for who did it, only they would know." Lin Tian shrugged and said.

"The academy is no longer as innocent as it used to be. The students now dare do anything." Xiao Manxue sighed slightly.

"Who cares? We're leaving Holy Spirit Town tomorrow anyway. If they're not afraid of death, let them come after us. I don't mind leaving a memory when we leave." Lin Tian said indifferently.

"Senior, you're leaving tomorrow? So soon!" Zhu Li exclaimed.

Xiao Manxue nodded and said, "The matter is settled, it's time to leave. All good things must come to an end, and there will always be a day to part."

"Oh..." Zhu Li responded, glanced at Lin Tian, then turned dejectedly and walked away.

"Zhu Li is sad and upset because of you. Are you happy now?" Xiao Manxue glared at Lin Tian and said.

Lin Tian felt wronged and said, "Why blame me again? I neither steal nor rob; what's it got to do with me?"

"You don't steal or rob, but you stole Zhu Li's heart." Xiao Manxue snorted.

"I've never flirted with her, and I've definitely not been ambiguous. What do you want me to do?" Lin Tian asked innocently.

Xiao Manxue was at a loss for words. After a while, she said, "I don't know. For girls, you're too dangerous. We'll leave first thing in the morning tomorrow to prevent Zhu Li from falling into a dream without an outcome."

"Being handsome isn't my fault. What does she even like about me? I'll change it, okay?" Lin Tian muttered.

Xiao Manxue glared at Lin Tian for a long moment, and suddenly laughed, "I don't even know why the girls like you, such a narcissistic and arrogant guy."

"Then what does Miss like about me?" Lin Tian suddenly asked.

"I... Who likes you? Hmph, don't like any part at all!" Xiao Manxue huffed, then turned and hurried away, with a hint of escaping.

"Don't like any part at all?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and walked off as well.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Tian began his nightly cultivation again. This had become an unbreakable habit for him. Practicing the Beast Skin Cultivation Technique not only enhanced his strength but also allowed him to survive without relying on feeding on human blood.

Whether a zombie or the Blood Clan, blood-sucking was a nature, an essential part of living. The Blood Clan had a blood addiction, just like zombies do. Zombies suck blood, not just out of hunger; a significant reason is because of the blood addiction.

Lin Tian was grateful to have the Beast Skin Cultivation Technique, which prevented him from being driven by blood addiction, and he didn't have to live by blood. Without the Beast Skin Cultivation Technique, he could imagine that he would certainly be driven by blood addiction to kill and drink blood.

He wasn't like those zombies who have lived for thousands or hundreds of years, who kill and suck blood as easily as eating and drinking water. Lin Tian could kill enemies and drink their blood, but he would never be controlled by blood addiction to kill innocent people.

"I wonder if there is a third part of the Beast Skin Cultivation Technique?" Lin Tian suddenly thought.

But it was just a thought. The first piece of beast skin was given by a female zombie, the second was found in the underground space of the Shrine. Such hidden places, if not for fortuitous encounters, could be buried forever. So, even if a third part existed, the chances of finding it were almost zero, unless it showed up on its own.

After finishing his cultivation and refining the Crescent Blade, Lin Tian finally went to bed. Miss didn't make a night visit that evening, allowing him a sound sleep. The next day, he didn't get up even when it was fully bright out.

Some noisy sounds came in through the window, waking Lin Tian. When he was fully awake, he realized the noise outside the window was exceptionally loud.

The noise seemed to come from the ground floor. Lin Tian pulled back the curtains and looked down, shocked by the scene. A group of boys was gathered in front of the dormitory, making a racket, seemingly attempting to enter the dormitory. However, a group of girls was also gathered in front, blocking the boys' path and stopping them from going upstairs.

"Carter?" Lin Tian, with his keen sight, recognized Carter in the crowd. Carter seemed to be the leader, trying to lead the male students into the dormitory.

"You bunch of chicks, move aside! Don't you know it's very dangerous here? The dormitory has magical creatures." Carter shouted loudly.

"Hahaha..." The girls laughed and shouted, "Sisters, did you hear what he said? He actually said there are magical creatures in our dormitory. Do you believe it?"

"No..." the group of girls shouted in unison.

One girl snorted, "Who doesn't know you're the second-in-command of the girl-chasing squad, blocking our academy's gate every day, and now you want to enter the dormitory. Magical creatures, right? Can you come up with a more reliable excuse?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you; let's charge in." Carter was too lazy to explain and ordered loudly.

The group of male students was about to rush in when two girls walked down from upstairs, none other than Xiao Manxue and Zhu Li, who came upon hearing the commotion.

"Students of Knight Academy, what are you trying to do here! Carter, take your people and leave immediately." Xiao Manxue said coldly.

Carter remained unmoved, and sneered, "You're Lin Tian's friend, of course, you want to protect him, but I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

"What do you mean I want to protect him? Lin Tian hasn't done anything wrong, why would I protect him? Explain yourself clearly." Xiao Manxue said seriously.

Carter smiled smugly and said, "Lin Tian was injured on a mission a few days ago and was infected with Corpse Poison. This morning, the Corpse Poison reached his heart, and he has already turned into a non-human, non-ghost creature!"
