Among them, there was even one whose strength far exceeded the Qi Blood Three Transformations.

Lin Zheyu suspected that person's strength might have reached the level of Qi Blood Four Transformations; otherwise, it wouldn't make him feel threatened.

"Indeed."

"If you let me go, I can make a copy of the cultivation technique for you."

The Second Elder said, slightly relieved in his heart.

The person in front of him seemed very interested in cultivation techniques; perhaps he could escape this peril.

"But how can I be sure that if I let you go, you'd actually give me the cultivation technique?" Lin Zheyu said coldly.

"As you stated, cultivation techniques are forbidden arts, and practicing forbidden arts is a grave crime of annihilating one's family."

"Now that you know about this, the only way to keep this secret is to bring you onboard," the Second Elder said.

His expression was extremely sincere, but secretly his heart was ruthless; just surviving would mean he would find a way to deal with this person.

"Oh."

Lin Zheyu said indifferently.

At this moment, he had already walked up to the Second Elder.

Pfft.

A cold glint flashed, and blood spattered out.

In the stunned gaze of the Second Elder, Lin Zheyu's hand rose and fell, the blade slicing across his neck. His head slid off his neck, eyes filled with disbelief.

Everything had been going well, so why act suddenly?

That was a cultivation technique!

A technique that allows one to cultivate for immortality!

"A cultivation technique?"

"So what!"

Lin Zheyu's expression was indifferent.

He was not moved by the legendary cultivation technique at all.

Even if the cultivation technique was real, achieving immortality through cultivation wasn't an easy task.

If cultivation in this world was the same as in past life novels, requiring spiritual root aptitude to cultivate, whether he could cultivate or not was still questionable.

Moreover, Lin Zheyu felt there was something wrong with this world.

Or rather, there was something wrong with the Immortal Dao of this world.

He had inquired from Xu Qin Yi and others about cultivation and demons, and the results were much the same as what Master Liang Song said.

There were no immortals in this world; those who pursued immortality through cultivation turned into demons.

Demons were very strong, terrifyingly strong.

This meant that if there was a genuine cultivation technique, whether or not it eventually led to becoming a demon, they were all powerful beings.

So, the fact that these powerful beings had no presence and that cultivation techniques became forbidden arts seemed very abnormal in a world where strength was revered.

"Cultivation..."

"There must be a big secret hidden within."

"My strength is too weak, getting involved now isn't wise. It's better to pursue the secrets of cultivation after I'm stronger."

Lin Zheyu murmured.

He was still very young, only seventeen.

With the aid of the Heavenly Dao's Golden Finger, in just a few years, he could cultivate to the peak of martial strength and enter the Innate Realm.

At that point, it wouldn't be too late to start seeking the secrets of cultivation.

After finishing off the old man, Lin Zheyu, holding the knife, walked towards the unconscious Xing Family members on the ground.

The continuous thuds sounded, and along with their horses, they all fell silent.

"Oh, so many silver taels!"

Joy appeared on Lin Zheyu's face.

On the old man with Qi Blood Two Transformations' strength, he had found three hundred and forty taels of gold, equivalent to three thousand four hundred silver taels.

Compared to the potential hidden risks of the cultivation technique, these silver taels were what he needed now.

Besides the silver taels, Lin Zheyu also found some powders, regular medicine pills, hidden weapons, and so on on the old man.

Lin Zheyu searched everyone thoroughly, finding a total of three thousand four hundred eighty taels, plus various medicinal powders and pills.

Acquiring so many silver taels all at once made his long wait at the entrance of Lion Valley worthwhile.

"It seems that robbing these guys dealing with the Nine Nether Sect was the right choice; these guys are all fat sheep!"

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

After searching them, he glanced at the corpses on the ground, shook his head slightly, turned around, and disappeared into the forest.

He didn't dispose of the bodies, believing that even if discovered, they couldn't be traced back to him.

After Lin Zheyu left, more than an hour passed.

Over a dozen burly figures walked out from the forest, drawn by the scent of blood.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Arrows shot out, easily killing the beasts that were picking at the corpses, and these strong men crouched down to inspect the bodies.

"Big brother, these seem like the Xing Family people, right?" one of the burly men spoke.

"Oh, they really are. I recognize this man; he's the one we exchanged with last time!" another burly man voiced.

"All Xing Family people?"

"Damn, I saw this old man last time; he's an elder of the Xing Family, his strength reached the Qi Blood First Transformation, yet he also died here!"

Another burly man couldn't help but say, his eyes filled with astonishment.
