The storyteller swiftly opened his folding fan, "The spiritual spring at the foot of the Immortal Realm Mountain has incredibly miraculous effects! It is said that no matter how severe the injury, as long as one goes in, one will instantly recover completely! Moreover, if a demon is placed in the spring, he will be cleansed of his demonic aura and transformed into a human!"

"If the Immortal Spring water were to fall upon the Demon Realm like a torrential rain, would all the demons in the Demon Realm turn into humans?" someone in the crowd asked in surprise.

The storyteller smiled mysteriously and said, "This problem... is theoretically feasible. The Immortal Spring Water is ethereal and elusive; no one knows where it is, let alone how to make it fall like a torrential rain throughout the entire Demon Realm!"

The listeners were buzzing with discussion.

The storyteller closed his folding fan again and said mysteriously, "Rumors in the martial world are a mix of truth and falsehood. Just listen to them as stories and don't take them too seriously. The land is vast and full of all kinds of extraordinary people. Perhaps... there are even more mysterious stories about that young master Su?"

In a corner of the teahouse, a young girl looked at the clear tea in her cup. Her face was reflected in the tea, a face that was unfamiliar to her.

She murmured softly, lost in thought, "Transform from a demon into a human..."

...

After leaving the teahouse, Ye Hua left Rivet City and returned to Fenglan Town.

The town appears perfectly normal from the outside, still thriving, but if a visitor had a discerning eye, they would see that no matter how enthusiastic the person was, their eyes had become dull and lifeless.

Ye Hua walked straight to a restaurant in the very center of Fenglan Town. As soon as he entered, a person came forward to greet him with utmost deference.

This person was none other than Li Jing, who had rescued Ye Hua from the torrential rain that day.

Unlike in the past, Li Jing is still full of energy, but his soul is now controlled by a parasitic demon.

"Lord Wang Mu! You're back!" Li Jing stood at the entrance, like a welcoming attendant.

"Hmm, have you found the person I asked you to find?" Ye Hua asked calmly.

Li Jing immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Of course! They've all been put in your room. They're all wandering cultivators passing through, with no background whatsoever! You can do with them as you see fit!"

"good."

Ye Hua nodded and went to the deepest room on the second floor, with Li Jing following closely behind.

He pushed open the door to the room, where there were four or five Golden Core cultivators bound by Immortal Binding Ropes.

After entering the room, the two closed the door. Ye Hua frowned as he looked at the four or five Golden Core cultivators.

"Why are there only Golden Core stage cultivators? Didn't I tell you to capture a few more Nascent Soul stage cultivators?"

Li Jing gave a bitter smile, "Reporting to Lord Wang Mu, that Nascent Soul stage cultivator's methods are extraordinary. Although we outnumber him, we are no match for him, let alone... you still have a chance to live."

Ye Hua frowned, feeling dissatisfied, but he also understood that Li Jing was telling the truth, so he could only let it go.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave."

Li Jing nodded. "Yes, sir! Lord Wang Mu, I'll be waiting outside. Please call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, Li Jing slowly retreated to the door, closed the door tightly, and stood guard at the door, not letting anyone approach.

After Ye Hua and the few Golden Core cultivators were left in the room, Ye Hua slowly walked to a man's side and placed his hand on his head.

All the cultivators stared at him with trepidation. Although they didn't know what Ye Hua was planning to do, a strong sense of crisis was growing in their hearts.

Ye Hua looked down at the male cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and clicked his tongue in disdain.

"A green card... Even if I refine it, it won't give me much experience. Oh well, it's better to have it than not. Besides... since I've already exposed myself to you, I'm destined not to let you live."

After he finished speaking, a red light slowly emanated from his palm.

At the same time, the system's cold voice resounded in his mind.

System: "After refining, the Golden Core stage cultivator 'Zhang Moyu' will disappear. Continue?"

"continue!"

With Ye Hua's consent, an astonishing unknown power erupted from his palm!

This force relentlessly drained the spiritual energy from the man's body, and to the astonishment of the others, the man vanished without a trace.

System: "Ding! System absorption complete! Heavenly Star Deceptive Technique experience points +132, Host's current cultivation level: Mid-Nascent Soul stage."

"Tsk, I only gained this little bit of experience after refining a mid-stage Golden Core. How long will it take to reach the Mahayana stage?" Ye Hua clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, his heart filled with resentment as he recalled the battle at the Holy Radiance Sect.

Ye Hua is different from others; the total amount of spiritual energy he needs to advance to each realm is more than ten times that of others!

Even if he is very talented, he will fall far behind others if he takes the conventional approach.

Although this level of cultivation would allow him to easily become invincible among those of the same level, the gap between different levels still exists, not to mention that Su Nian is there eyeing him covetously.

However, Ye Hua's Destiny System has a very special function: it can refine all things with spiritual power and transform them into Ye Hua's own spiritual power.

These spiritual entities can be people, spiritual treasures, or even a spiritual mountain.

The system assigns a rating to each person and each item. The higher the rating, the greater the reward Ye Hua will receive after refining it.

He felt a pang of heartache when he thought of Su Liuli being let go.

Su Liuli is a system-certified orange card! If we can sever her legs and render her unable to move, we will surely be able to refine her when Ye Hua reaches the Nascent Soul stage!

At that time, his strength will increase significantly, and he might even advance three minor realms in one go!
