The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Li Qing was startled by the sound and immediately looked down.

In the blur, there seemed to be a figure, but he couldn't be sure what it was.

He didn't even intend to respond.

"Krek's world, be careful, be careful, be even more careful."

Li Qing tried to look, but remained silent.

The person below couldn't help but frown, "Why aren't you speaking?"

In the darkness, his vision was extremely clear within a radius of 10 meters, and he could clearly see Li Qing.

Seeing the other just looking at him, looking confused, a thought suddenly struck him.

"Could it be that he can't see me? It seems like a guy who has just practiced the 'Blood Refinement Art'."

Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved.

"That would make it easier to deal with."

He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a bead.

Taking the bead out of a black pocket, it immediately emitted a hazy white light, illuminating the area within a few meters.

"Fellow Daoist, I am seriously injured now and I need help."

"If Fellow Daoist can help, this night pearl will serve as a token of gratitude."

With the appearance of the night pearl, Li Qing saw a figure in the light, leaning against the tree he was in.

The figure looked extremely miserable in the light, with a large hole in the chest, revealing white bones.

He was shocked, "He's in such a miserable state and still alive? This guy must be very powerful."

His vigilance rose again, looking at him cautiously without saying a word.

In the light, the man had a big bearded face, looking no more than 30 years old, with somewhat pale skin, and a particularly pale complexion, sunken eye sockets, like a consumptive ghost.

Especially his lips, although covered by the big beard, seemed very red.

Despite revealing his figure in the night pearl, Li Qing became even more cautious.

Suddenly, Li Qing said, "How... how do you want me to help you?"

At this moment, Li Qing's face was full of hesitation and a hint of timidity.

The big bearded man below remained calm on the surface, but inside, he was smiling.

"Come down, I have medicine in my arms, help me apply it to the wound."

"I also have a potentially fatal scar on my back."

"I can't reach it myself."

"You practice the 'Blood Refinement Art', and I also practice this technique. We are natural allies."

"I know where to find the follow-up techniques of the 'Blood Refinement Art'."

"When my injuries are stabilized, we can leave together, and I will take care of you along the way."

"Looks like you haven't eaten yet, there's some dry food in my backpack."

The big bearded man struggled to untie a package on himself.

With great effort, he opened it, revealing several pancakes and a piece of beef inside.

"Fellow Daoist, please help me out, help a brother out."

At this moment, the big bearded man looked at Li Qing with a sincere expression, his eyes showing a hint of pleading.

But little did he know that when he mentioned the 'Blood Refinement Art',

Li Qing had already completely classified him as an enemy, and he would not forget Mr. Hua Yue's fate.

Seeing the beef and pancakes in his backpack, he was even more horrified.

He would not forget the mutated Mr. Hua Yue; he had almost become the other's meal.

"This guy is so seriously injured, he might mutate at any moment."

"Take advantage of his illness to take his life. Before he mutates, I should strike first."

Li Qing looked at the package, and the beef and pancakes inside made him involuntarily swallow, looking very hungry.

The big bearded man below showed a hint of inexplicable joy in his eyes.

"This guy must have accidentally practiced a technique and knows nothing about cultivation."

"He hasn't shown any signs of mutation yet, probably recently cultivated, and hasn't eaten meat."

"Most likely from a poor family, heh."

"But as long as you practice the 'Blood Refinement Art', you are my best nourishment."

Thinking of something, he involuntarily swallowed, feeling hungry in his stomach.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, his face showing indecision.

The big bearded man below felt that he needed to push a little harder, and quickly said in a loud voice.

"Brother, you'd better hurry, I was injured by someone, and that person is still chasing me."

"He might catch up at any moment."

"You also practice the 'Blood Refinement Art', and he will target you too."

"I must recover quickly in order to take you away."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's face immediately showed panic.

"What? Someone is still chasing you? The person who injured you?"

"What should we do?"

"Quickly come down to help me treat you, and I can take you away."

The big bearded man's words were coaxing, and he seemed to be slightly excited. His voice seemed to become hoarse and strange.

There was a slight bulge on his back, as if something was wriggling.

He completely failed to notice, and Li Qing's pupils slightly contracted as he saw the change in the other.

The panic on his face became even more pronounced, and it was unclear whether it was an act or genuine.

He quickly said, "I... I'll come down right away."

Li Qing's appearance was that of a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen, and the big bearded man couldn't help but crack a smile as he watched Li Qing climb down from the other side of the tree.

"Indeed inexperienced, a little coaxing and a little scare, and he's flustered."

"Heh."

At this moment, Li Qing was halfway down the big tree, and the big bearded man's eyes were fixed on that spot.

His body trembled slightly, as he gathered his strength. As soon as Li Qing landed, he would pounce.

Devour him completely, and heal his own injuries.

Just as Li Qing was halfway down, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, I'm stuck, I can't get down."

The big bearded man was first stunned, then a smile spread across his face.

"Hahaha..."

"I'll help you, don't move!"

The big bearded man struggled to climb up, his cracked lips, his crimson tongue licking slightly. His eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.

He circled around to the back of the big tree.

When he reached the back, a Daoist figure was illuminated by the white light.

The figure was lying on the tree trunk, holding a token in his right hand, and was looking at him at that moment.

The token was filled with a green light, and in the next instant, an illusory green Flood Dragon rushed out of it.

In a flash, it pounced towards the big bearded man.

The big bearded man's face turned pale, and he immediately realized that he had been tricked.

This was no lamb, but clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing.

His whole body emitted a bloody light, and a red light shot out from his fists towards the green Flood Dragon phantom.

"Moo"

The green Flood Dragon let out a sound like a mix between a cow and a dragon, and the big bearded man, who was about to strike, suddenly looked confused, and his whole body stopped moving.

The green Flood Dragon flashed and pounced on him, dragging an illusory figure out of his body.

"Ah, what's going on?"

"It hurts... it hurts so much..."
