Qingyangzi is not dead.

But practicing the Taiwei Heart Sutra requires a clear mind and few desires, and not to dwell on anything. But this time, he was so angry that his mood was ruined and his cultivation was greatly damaged, so he had to rest quietly.

However, this made him forget to pursue the matter of Ye Chen damaging the herbs.

It was not until Elder Zhu Yu came to him again and reminded him that the pills were running low that he remembered this matter.

So Qingyangzi called Ye Chen over again, scolded him severely, and ordered him to immediately compensate the sect for the lost herbs.

Ye Chen was robbed by Feng Shao and was seriously injured. He could not have come up with so much money. But on his way back to the mountain, perhaps because his luck had recovered a lot, he "accidentally" picked up a large sum of money.

But Ye Chen is a Pixiu, who only takes in and never gives out. Even if he is asked to pluck a hair to benefit the world, he will never do it. His principle of doing things is: What does the world's affairs have to do with me?

This is a typical egoist.

It is for this reason that Feng Shao, who has been selflessly devoting himself to the sect for many years, makes him feel uneasy. Feng Shao is like a magic mirror, revealing the ugliest side of Ye Chen.

However, this time, he could not be so stingy any longer. Because Qing Yangzi had issued a death order. If Ye Chen did not compensate the sect for its losses, he would be expelled from the sect!

Ye Chen wanted to say at that time: It’s better not to stay in such a sect!

But as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

He had just become the Holy Son and hadn't gotten any benefits yet! If he left the sect in disgrace, wouldn't he be at a great disadvantage?

You know, not long ago, he was robbed by Feng Shao! He urgently needed to make up for his losses through other means, and the magic weapons that Feng Shao and his men had brought to the sect's treasure house were undoubtedly the best way to make up for his losses.

In the end, Ye Chen, in line with the idea of ​​"the old must go before the new can come", reluctantly took out two thousand spirit stones to compensate for the sect's loss of medicinal materials.

The sect's urgent need for elixirs was finally temporarily alleviated.

Feeling depressed, Ye Chen ran to Zhao Meier for comfort. And Zhao Meier, just as he expected, comforted him with soft words, which made him recover from his loss quickly.

While communicating with Zhao Meir, Ye Chen also began to repair the internal injuries caused in the battle with Feng Shao.

Ye Chen's golden elixir was half broken by Feng Shao, but fortunately it was not completely broken. If it was completely broken, Ye Chen would have to start over from the foundation building stage, and it was unknown how long it would take to rebuild the golden elixir.

Although it is difficult to repair a partially broken piece, it is still much better than a completely broken piece.

But Ye Chen did not notice that a little bit of black blood had seeped into his half-broken golden elixir. If an experienced cultivator saw this, he would naturally know that the occurrence of this situation meant that there was a sign of demonic possession.

But Ye Chen didn't know this. And even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Because he was a pragmatist, anything was fine as long as it was useful. As for whether he was possessed by a demon, he didn't care much.

During the repair process, Ye Chen also discovered another thing that made him happy.

His golden elixir was healing very slowly, but that was understandable. Generally speaking, injuries of this magnitude could not be cured without three or two years of recuperation. However, he found that if he held the Blood Refining Sword while repairing the golden elixir, the process of repairing the golden elixir would be greatly accelerated. The injury that was originally expected to take at least two years to heal was shortened to nearly a year.

However, the blood energy attached to the Blood Refining Sword would seep into the Golden Core during the process of repairing it, dyeing the originally golden Golden Core a layer of blood red, which looked quite strange. But in order to repair the Golden Core as soon as possible, he chose to turn a blind eye. Moreover, the infiltration of blood energy also made him feel a sense of power expansion. The feeling of having power is intoxicating, so how could Ye Chen refuse it?

Therefore, not only did he not take this matter to heart, but he intentionally promoted the absorption of blood and qi, which made the blood and qi in his golden elixir deeper day by day.

Ye Chen did not realize that as he absorbed more and more blood and energy, his personality became strange.

Ye Chen was originally impulsive and irritable, and loved to stir up trouble. In the past, many people could explain his eccentric personality as "juvenile mentality". But now Ye Chen is like a powder keg that can be ignited at any time.

Two outer disciples were talking and laughing when they walked in front of him, and Ye Chen thought they were making fun of him. Ye Chen drew his sword in anger and beat them half to death on the spot, almost destroying their Dantian.

An outer disciple called him "Senior Brother Ye Chen" instead of "Senior Brother Shengzi", which Ye Chen thought was a challenge to his position. Ye Chen used his power to suppress the other person on the spot, forcing him to kneel down and beg for mercy.

An outer disciple said a few more words to Zhao Mei'er, and Ye Chen thought that he was trying to steal his followers. Ye Chen immediately broke his hands and feet, threw him out of Taiwei Mountain, and threatened that anyone who dared to save him would be his enemy.

There are many more examples like this.

Ye Chen himself didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, but others vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Han Biyun was the first to discover the problem. Although Han Biyun was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Chen, Ye Chen was her junior brother after all, and she could not ignore the changes in him. However, Han Biyun, the senior sister, always spoke frankly and said without hesitation that Ye Chen might have fallen into the devil's way and must concentrate and calm down to drive away the devil in his heart.

This remark aroused Ye Chen's disgust, and he immediately retorted: "Power has no distinction between good and evil. If it is used for good, it is good, and if it is used for evil, it is evil. Even if I have entered the devil's way, as long as I am dedicated to doing good, then what I practice is the right way!"

Han Biyun was furious: "Look at you now, is there anything that looks like you are doing good? In just these few days, how many outer disciples have you injured? You can also say that you are doing good with such actions?!"

Ye Chen said, "Those people insulted me first, so what's wrong with me teaching them a lesson? Isn't the purpose of us cultivators seeking immortality just to gain enlightenment? If we can't settle scores, what kind of cultivation is that?"

Han Biyun asked in disbelief: "Who told you these twisted theories?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly: "I don't need anyone to teach me these principles. I figured them out myself. Senior Sister, please don't deny my principles just because they don't conform to yours! You can disagree with my principles, but please allow them to exist!"

"This is ridiculous!" Han Biyun said angrily, "Practicing Taoism is not about being brave and aggressive, nor is it about taking human lives lightly! You want to be free and easy, but that is not a reason for you to trample on others! You have already entered the devil's way, but you still don't know it. Are you going to continue to make mistakes?"

Ye Chen sneered and said, "Big Sister, you don't need to use your reasons to pressure me. I can't convince you, but you can't convince me either. In this case, let's each do what we think! Time will prove who is right!"

After saying that, Ye Chen flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

Han Biyun knew that Ye Chen was in a very dangerous situation, but she was chilled by his unwillingness to listen. She had no choice but to report Ye Chen's situation to Du Yuanxi.

Du Yuanxi was also shocked when she heard this. Before Ye Chen became a demon, he was still stubborn and aggressive. If he became a demon now, wouldn't he become a disaster sooner or later?

So Du Yuanxi immediately summoned Ye Chen to her side and persuaded him to dispel his inner demons.

However, during Du Yuanxi's persuasion, Ye Chen showed great impatience. Before Du Yuanxi finished speaking, Ye Chen interrupted her and asked, "Master, may I ask what the inner demon is?"

Du Yuanxi frowned. She was upset that her disciple interrupted her rudely. But considering Ye Chen's special situation, Du Yuanxi had to hold back her anger and said calmly, "The inner demon is the desire that arises when our generation of cultivators increases their power during the process of cultivation. You must know that powerful power can shape a person or destroy a person. People who cannot control their desires cannot stick to their original intentions."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Then what do you think, Master, is my disciple's desire?"

Before Du Yuanxi could speak, Ye Chen said enthusiastically: "It is to become stronger! Become stronger! Become a truly powerful person who is invincible! This is my desire! Since my desire is to become stronger, why should I control it?"

Du Yuanxi shook her head and said, "Desire and wish are two different things. Desire can make people lose themselves, while wish can make people keep their original heart."

“No, Master, you are wrong!” Ye Chen said with a smile, “Desire and wish are essentially the same! They are what we pursue tirelessly, and they are the goals we must achieve even if we have to give up everything! Losing your true heart? No, no, no, that is not losing your true heart. That is the decision you make after seeing your true heart clearly! In front of the goal of your life, anything else can be abandoned, because those things are not important!”

He raised his head and laughed: "The world will misunderstand me, but future generations will understand me! Time will prove that I am right!"

Looking at Ye Chen's fanatical and crazy look, Du Yuanxi felt a chill in her heart.

Ye Chen is really possessed by the devil.
