I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 23 Threat

Bang!

The violent spiritual energy directly tore through the meridians of the cultivator, and under the immense spiritual pressure, the body even burst into a burst of flesh and blood fireworks!

Swish!

Lin Chen reached out and flicked his hand in the air, and a spiritual light barrier instantly formed, blocking the splattering flesh and blood. On the spiritual screen, fragments of organs and bones, mixed with dirty blood, slowly slid down.

He looked expressionless at this scene, holding a pen in his hand and recording continuously.

"The range of the counter Qi Cyclone created must be controlled within a certain range. If it is too large, it will reduce the amount of spiritual energy entering the cultivator's body, leading to the failure of Foundation Building. If it is too small, it will merge with the Qi Cyclone in the cultivator's dantian, causing the spiritual energy to be uncontrollable and resulting in self-destruction."

"After multiple experiments, I have determined the approximate range. The next step is the experiment of True Qi liquefaction."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen put down the experimental log in his hand and walked out of the door.

At this moment, Yu Man outside the door stared fiercely at the closed door, his resentment growing stronger.

"Damn it, if it weren't for being betrayed by this brat, how could I end up like this?! I must catch him and torture him to death with the cruelest methods!"

Although he was captured, Yu Man was not worried at all. Instead, he was thinking about counterattacking.

This was not because he was reckless, but because he still had a back-up plan. As long as the other party was a disciple of the righteous Dao Sect, it would definitely work and give him a chance to escape!

Creak!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the door was opened, and Lin Chen walked out and walked straight towards him.

"Wait, you can't kill me, otherwise... ugh!" Yu Man was about to say something, but he was pulled in forcefully by the chain around his neck.

"These demonic cultivators are not easy to capture alive. It seems that I have to be more careful in the next experiment and not waste them." Lin Chen didn't pay attention to what the other party said at all, and directly dragged him in.

Bang!

Yu Man felt himself being thrown roughly onto the platform, and various strange and grotesque instruments fixed him in place, and then the other party began to carve something on him.

"What does he want to do?" Yu Man had this question in his mind, but when he glanced around with the corner of his eye, his face suddenly changed.

Although the experimental platform had been cleaned up by Lin Chen using some kind of magic, there were still some corners that he hadn't dealt with. Yu Man naturally could see the blood stains splattered on the ground not far away, as well as the fragments of internal organs mixed with tiny bones!

So, the people who were brought in here all turned into this mess...

"No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, you can't kill me! You can't kill me!" Thinking of this, Yu Man screamed frantically, his face twisted.

Lin Chen was carving the formation prohibition at an extremely fast speed, but he heard Yu Man's chaotic yelling and couldn't help but frown.

"I forgot to gag him." After speaking, he reached out towards Yu Man's mouth.

"Wait, you can't kill me! If you kill me, do you know how many families will be destroyed because of you? At that time, you will be the sinner!!!" Yu Man's face twisted, shouting desperately.

"Hmm?" Lin Chen paused his hand. "What do you mean by that?"

"I have captured a group of children and imprisoned them in a place only I know. If you kill me, no one will be able to save them, and they will all be trapped to death! And all of this will be caused by you!" Yu Man's face became ferocious as he spoke.

If he were threatening another demonic cultivator, it would be tantamount to seeking death, but righteous cultivators were different, especially those young brats who were often softhearted towards ordinary people in the name of false justice. This was his chance to escape!

When facing the pursuit of righteous disciples, he could use the kindness and innocent lives of others to fight for his own survival. This was his usual method!

However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Chen just nodded and didn't make any extra moves.

"No, not indifferent? No, impossible, he's definitely pretending!"

"Have you thought it through? If you kill me, all those children will die. Everything is your doing!"

"Think about it, those children waiting for death in despair in the darkness, their bodies decaying bit by bit. And all of this is your doing. Don't you feel guilty about it?!"

"I swear, if you let me go, I will immediately release those children and promise to never do the same thing again..."

"Hmph!"

Before Yu Man could finish speaking, Lin Chen couldn't help but sneer.

"Firstly, their deaths were caused by you, don't try to shift the blame onto me. Secondly, I understand the principle of doing away with evil. If I let you go out of consideration, it's possible that more people will be harmed in the future. Of course, the most crucial point is..."

At this point, Lin Chen glanced at him lightly. "Although I have principles, it doesn't mean I'm a mindless do-gooder."

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Lin Chen was not threatened at all, causing Yu Man's face to change drastically as he quickly changed tactics.

Since coercion with righteousness didn't work, he could only resort to temptation.

"I know the deepest secrets of Azure Cloud Sect and Xuan Yin Sect. If you let me go, not only will I reveal them to you, but I will also tell you where those children are hiding!"

"Just based on what you know?!" Lin Chen wanted to interrogate him directly, but the next words from the other party made him pause.

"Don't you find it strange? Azure Cloud Sect and Xuan Yin Sect, the two major forces in Lingnan, why would they fight to the death? Even if it's a conflict of interests, it would be enough for the disciples below to fight and kill each other. Why would Gold Core Perfected Beings personally get involved and even perish for this?!"

"Gold Core Perfected Beings, with a lifespan of eight hundred years, enjoying longevity. Do you think they would sacrifice themselves for the so-called interests of the sects?"

"This..." Lin Chen's eyes flickered, lost in thought.

This was also something he found strange.

After speculating the possibility of a war, he had searched for records of the two previous wars among cultivators in Lingnan.

He originally thought it was just a conflict of interests, but to his surprise, two Gold Core cultivators from two sects had perished in these two wars.

This made him somewhat unable to understand. After all, Gold Core Perfected Beings were already the highest level in Lingnan, with eight hundred years of longevity. What was worth their desperate fight?

It felt as strange as two small countries in his previous life fighting each other, with the high-level officials fighting on the front lines instead of the lower-level soldiers.

"Why is that?"

"As long as you let me go, I'll tell you everything!"

"Hmm?" Lin Chen's face suddenly darkened, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a trade. Don't you want to know this secret? Don't forget, there are those children... Do you really want to harm them?!" At this moment, Yu Man went all out and confronted him head-on.

Instead of being submissive, it was better to gamble. He gambled on the importance of his information and news in Lin Chen's eyes.

As long as the benefits outweighed his own, there was a great possibility that Lin Chen would compromise!

It was a good idea, but unfortunately, he didn't realize his current situation.

Lin Chen stared coldly at him and said, "Tell me where you're hiding the children and the secrets of the two major sects."

"As long as you don't let me go, you'll never get this information!"

"Hmph!" A cold smile appeared on Lin Chen's face. "It seems that I've been too easy to talk to, to the point where you can't see your current situation..."

Lin Chen clenched his fists, and the joints made a crisp sound.

"I've been accustomed to live dissections and interrogations over the years, so I've accumulated quite a bit of experience. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me."
