"It's yours now."

"After taking this kind of elixir, you will still look like a normal warrior, and no one will notice anything wrong with you."

"It is a fine bone-refining elixir unique to the Tianmu Sect."

The scarred old man's voice was full of bewitching intent, and he highly praised the so-called Hundred Bone Pill.

Come to think of it, if it is really possible to use the bones of a hundred bone refining warriors to refine a Hundred Bone Pill as he said, the effect cannot be bad.

It is possible to break through a small realm at one time, and even more exaggerated effects are possible.

Why do so many people succumb to temptation and fall into evil ways?

Because the temptation is really too great.

A bottleneck that may not be broken through even after ten years of hard practice may be loosened in a short period of time through practicing evil methods, giving rise to hope of a breakthrough.

A breakthrough in realm means greater power, higher status, more luxurious enjoyment, and even a longer lifespan.

Everything you want can be achieved through practice.

Therefore, such temptation is irresistible to many people.

Of course, when you are tempted and accept the benefits, you must also be prepared to bear the costs.

The hidden dangers of evil skills, the situation where everyone is calling for their destruction, and the current rapid progress has been achieved at the cost of difficulties in future survival.

There must be a good thing in the world that can break through the realm without any side effects after taking a pill, but how can such a pill be obtained casually? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magic pill. If the Tianmu Sect could casually give such a magic pill without side effects to outsiders, the Tianmu Sect would have unified the world long ago.

Below the Bone Refining stage, being able to directly break through a small realm is a great opportunity, such as the Mountain God’s Origin Divine Pool.

However, the Origin Divine Pool cannot allow a bone refining warrior to break through directly. The most it can do is to refine a large number of bones at one time. At least, the Origin Divine Pool that the Yun family has opened to outsiders can only have this effect.

The mountain god is such a powerful being! How could the Hundred Bone Pills compare to his original divine power?

But what even the Origin Divine Pond couldn't do, a recipe for an evil pill...

Zhou Qing knew without even looking at it that this Hundred Bone Pill must be full of hidden dangers.

The scarred old man specifically emphasized the effect of Bai Gu Dan to Zhou Qing and even mentioned the recipe of the pill, which clearly showed that he had ill intentions.

Even though he is still thinking about his daughter in his heart, actively cooperating with Zhou Qing and telling him everything, it shows that he is still a human being and has a conscience.

Not to mention the evil deeds he committed in the past, even from what he did in the dilapidated temple, it can be seen that this scarred old man has lost his humanity.

If you know someone who practices evil skills, does evil things, or joins a shoe cult, don't expect him or her to have a conscience.

Those who practice evil skills are the best at pretending to be pitiful and deceiving others.

However, Zhou Qing had a mind as strong as iron. He was not bewitched by the scarred old man at all. He just stared at him with a cold expression.

Then Zhou Qing raised his foot, moved, and stepped down.

“Click!”

"ah!"

A scream was heard, and upon closer inspection, Zhou Qing stepped on the scarred old man's hand, crushing his bones.

"Say what you need to say. You can continue to try to be clever, but you know the consequences."

Zhou Qing spoke cold words, but he felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Mr. Zhou was too kind-hearted and only crushed his metacarpal bones.

I am truly the reincarnation of a good person for ten lifetimes, and the kindness in my heart cannot be concealed at all.

Zhou Qing raised his foot and uttered two words softly.

"continue."

The scarred old man was gasping for breath, his face distorted and in great pain.

"Heaven, the person from the Tianmu Cult not only asked us to come to Tianyue County to cause chaos, but also issued another instruction."

"Learn as many people in Tianyue County as possible to fall into evil ways, spread some evil techniques, and search for some evil seeds."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly. Leading people into evil ways? What exactly is the Tianmu Cult planning? Ten years of spying, causing chaos in Tianyue, assigning evil cultivators...

What on earth do they want to do...

"The man you rescued is very suitable for practicing an evil skill. I had already targeted him in Qinghua County. When he left Qinghua County, we chased him. We were planning to take him away and teach him how to practice."

"If we can collect potential evil seeds, the Tianmu Sect will also reward us."

Zhou Qing's eyes moved, "He is suitable for practicing evil skills? How did you judge that?"

"His mental state is different from that of an ordinary person. He once suffered from soul separation syndrome. I got this news by chance and secretly observed him. I am sure that he is suitable for practicing evil skills."

The scarred old man explained, "I have a divine swallowing skill here. It was given to me by the Tianmu Sect and asked me to spread it in Tianyue County. It can directly devour the spirits of others to practice, but it is very easy to become crazy."

"But his spirit seems to be separated from himself. If he practices the Soul Devouring Technique, he can avoid the contamination of external spirits to the greatest extent."

Zhou Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man had such hidden information.

He had heard of this soul-separation syndrome in his previous life.

I just don't know if the soul-leaving syndrome he heard about is the same condition that the young man suffers from.

It should be different.

Zhou Qing asked, "Is there anything else special about having suffered from soul separation syndrome?"

"If he practices Taoism, it will be easier for his soul to leave his body. He must have the aptitude to practice Taoism, but he has no other special qualities."

Having the qualifications but no cultivation is the difficulty faced by most people.

In this vast world, I don’t know how many talented people are buried.

Now the young men surnamed Yu are all around 20 years old. It is too late for them to practice. They have missed the best opportunity and it will be difficult for them to make a name for themselves.

Well, except for practicing evil skills.

"What else?" Zhou Qing asked again.

"No, the people of Tianmu Sect told us about these two things: causing chaos and spreading evil skills."

The scarred old man's painful expression had eased a little at this time, "I really don't know any other information about Tianmu Religion."

"It has always been the people from the Tianmu Church who contacted us. I have no way to contact them, and I have never been involved in other affairs of the Tianmu Church."

"What is the cultivation level of the person who contacted you?"

"The bone refining master is in Tianyang County." The scarred old man said, "As for the crimes I committed, if you want to know, I can also tell you. I was initially active in the area at the junction of Tianyue County and Tianyang County, but my tracks were exposed there and I was wanted."

"At that time, the defense forces of the counties of Tianyue were not particularly strong. We escaped and later hid near Qinghua County."

"You don't need to tell me these things. Go and tell the people from the Ghost and God Department of Qinghua County."

He committed several major crimes and had several lives on his hands. The Department of Ghosts and Gods would investigate, interrogate, and handle the follow-up actions.

At the same time, Zhou Qing naturally did not believe all the information he had just told her.

But it doesn’t matter. Once he hands these two people over to the Qinghua County Ghost and God Department for interrogation, the truth or falsehood of the information they just said will naturally be verified.

Seeing that the scarred old man had no more information to provide, Zhou Qing knocked him and the woman unconscious, then took away their space bags and directly erased the marks they left behind.

With his current spiritual cultivation, it would be effortless to deal with such a mark.

He first opened the scarred old man's space bag, and after taking a look, his face suddenly turned cold.

There were quite a few corpses inside, some intact and some dismembered.

In addition, there was a pile of human bones placed in a corner. There were obvious signs of wear and tear on those bones, and there was a small knife next to the pile of bones.

If Zhou Qing's guess was correct, then the bone powder he saw by the campfire at the beginning was dropped by the scarred old man when he was sitting there and grinding the human bones in the space bag.

It's simply insane.

“Click!”

There was another sound of bone breaking. Zhou Qing looked down and then took his foot away.

He took a careless step and broke someone's bones.

In addition to these uncomfortable things, there were more than a dozen secret books in the space bag. He roughly looked through them and found that they were all evil magic books.

There are both Taoist magic and martial arts, but they are not complete. There are only the first few levels, which are only suitable for basic training.

Only a part of the skills are given, and the subsequent skills are used as bargaining chips to drive people to do things. This is a common trick used by evil practitioners.

The so-called God-Swallowing Technique was also among them. Zhou Qing only took a look at it and felt that this technique was truly digging one's own grave.

Directly devouring other people's spirits is 100% a dead end.

Thoughts and incense merely contain the faint thoughts of others, which are poisonous, not to mention this kind of practice that directly devours the spirit.

He also saw the recipe for Bai Gu Dan.

The scarred old man did not lie about this. It indeed required the bones of a hundred people to refine it. And it could only be human bones. Animal bones were useless.

The side effects of Bai Gu Dan were not mentioned on the recipe, but Zhou Qing was sure that the person who wrote the recipe did not make it clear on purpose.

Evil practitioners like to spread some problematic spiritual materials without pointing out the hidden problems, thus leading people astray.

Even if you have not practiced evil skills, if you really can't help but use this Hundred Bone Pill, then you will be on a path of no return.

Once the beast in your heart is released, it can't be contained.

The definition of evil cultivators and demons has never simply referred to those who practiced evil methods and magic skills, but also looked at their behavior and their hearts.

An Lang asked, "Sir, what should we do with these two people?"

"Since it came from Qinghua County, send it to the Qinghua County Ghost and God Department."

An Lang looked at the young man not far away again, "What about him?"

"Isn't he going to Black Cloud Town to seek refuge with his relatives? Should we also take him back to Qinghua County?"

"He... I'll ask him first."

Zhou Qing contacted Lu Qingmo, told him what happened, and then asked:

"Aunt Mo, what is this soul separation syndrome?"

"A symptom that is not considered a disease." Lu Qingmo explained: "If it is not caused by human beings, nor is it due to the misuse of something, but the symptoms of soul separation appear naturally, then it is likely that this person's soul and body are inherently weakly connected, and at the same time, he also has an excellent aptitude for soul cultivation."

"The soul is clear, the body is turbid, the soul is yin, the body is yang. While the body protects the soul, it actually has a certain influence on the soul, making it difficult to sense the soul."

"For those whose physical body and soul are naturally weakly connected, the soul will be less affected and will be in a relatively clear state, which is suitable for cultivation."

"So that's how it is."

"That person should have a good talent for soul cultivation, but you don't need to worry about it. Send him back to Qinghua County and tell the Qinghua Ghost and God Department. They will make a proper arrangement for him."

He is just an "older" young man with a talent for practicing Taoism.

Not everyone is Zhou Qing.
