I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

The cultivator who took to the sky was naturally a Master Golden Core. When he sensed the violent spiritual fluctuations above the designated area, he immediately soared into the sky.

Unfortunately.

He was still one step too late.

Just as he was flying through the sky, Que Chen believed he could escape and thought that a Spiritual Talisman could prevent Han Yi’s assassination. Han Yi used the black light sword to clear the way, followed closely by a Demonic Dagger, with a speed that even the Golden Core Early-stage cultivators could not fully react to, directly piercing through Que Chen.

A golden light returned and was collected into the Storage Ring. Han Yi turned around without a word and escaped a distance of three hundred meters. Then he fell downwards and, with a few Light Body Technique sounds, disappeared into the night.

Master Du Fa, originally named Ying Pengrui, was known as Master Du Fa because he practiced a profound magic skill of the Wanfa Sect. He was also the only Gold Core cultivator stationed in Jinyun Immortal City by the Wanfa Sect.

Although the Wanfa Sect claimed to have thirty Golden Cores, they only stationed one in each large Immortal City in Qianzhou at most.

As soon as Ying Pengrui rose into the sky, he saw a familiar figure falling down like a broken kite.

The person who had been chasing the figure had already escaped in the blink of an eye, landing on the street below, and after a few flickers, disappeared.

He withdrew his gaze, fell to the ground where Que Chen’s corpse lay, and his face turned gloomy. He had already seen clearly in mid-air that the killed person was indeed Que Chen of the Yuan Beast Sect.

A Divine Soul emerged from the pierced forehead of the corpse. For Gold Core cultivators, although they could not persist for a long time like Nascent Soul cultivators without a physical body, surviving for a few days would not be a problem.

“Fellow Daoist Que, what happened? Who is the person chasing and trying to kill you?”

Ying Pengrui spoke in a deep voice, his right hand hidden in his sleeve, quietly forming a seal.

Que Chen’s Divine Soul looked at the headless corpse and the head on the ground, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Ying Pengrui, unable to suppress his trembling, displaying the fear and despair of his Immortal Path being severed.

“Fellow Daoist Que, you don’t need to worry. With our level of cultivation, we can choose a high-quality disciple to possess, or even become a Ghost Cultivator, reincarnation is not the only way.”

A subtle light flickered in Ying Pengrui’s eyes, and the seal in his sleeve was already completed, ready to attack at his command.

However, Que Chen was currently immersed in the regret and despair of his severed Immortal Path and did not notice Ying Pengrui’s gaze and movements.

“Fellow Daoist Que, who exactly was chasing and trying to kill you? Was it a real person from the Xuandan Sect?” Ying Pengrui raised his eyebrows, seemingly impatient.

“No, it was a stranger, and moreover, a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator,” Que Chen said with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

Ying Pengrui’s gaze darkened, and his tone became somewhat unfriendly.

“Fellow Daoist Que, you are already dead, so stop joking.”

“I observed your situation, and your Golden Beast should have also met its demise. Someone who can kill a Golden Beast and chase you to the extent of killing you in front of me, you insist that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator?”

“What are you hiding? Speak quickly.”

Ying Pengrui’s gaze turned somewhat sinister, but Que Chen, disoriented by his impending demise, failed to notice this and still displayed a puzzled expression.

“The opponent was indeed at the Foundation Establishment late stage, and moreover, he can resist the Chaotic Divine Evil Poison of my Yuan Beast Sect.”

Upon saying this, Que Chen’s Divine Soul suddenly shuddered, as if reacting to something, and immediately turned to face Ying Pengrui.

“Fellow Daoist Ying, please quickly inform my sect and let the sect master be prepared, in case the Xuandan Sect… Huh? Fellow Daoist Ying, what are you doing?”

Que Chen’s tone suddenly changed because, as he mentioned the Xuandan Sect, Ying Pengrui had already pressed his hand forward from within his sleeve. With a seal formed in mid-air, a Spirit Light was triggered, centered on Ying Pengrui, rising from the courtyard within a hundred-meter radius and then contracting abruptly in the middle when it reached a height of twenty meters.

In an instant, a formation was magically formed.

Then, before Que Chen’s expression could change, Ying Pengrui’s outstretched arm slammed downward.

At this exact moment.

The contracted Spirit Light shrank even further at an extremely fast speed, passing by Ying Pengrui’s body and eventually turning into a light cage only slightly taller than a person, trapping Que Chen within.

“Ying Pengrui, how dare you?!”

“You…”

Que Chen guessed something and, while his face changed drastically, he cried out, his Divine Soul trying to rise.

However, he was fast, and Ying Pengrui was faster. As soon as Que Chen fell into a brief stupor after his downfall, Ying Pengrui had already drawn the formation which covered the surrounding area of the Wanfa Sect residence and trapped Que Chen like a turtle in a jar.

Next.

Ying Pengrui’s face turned solemn, and without hesitating, he changed the seal to a deadly force. The Spirit Light that trapped Que Chen trembled, and as it shrank inward, Que Chen’s Divine Soul quivered, staring fixedly at Ying Pengrui.

Bang.

The Divine Soul shattered but did not disappear immediately; it struggled to reassemble, but in the end, under Ying Pengrui’s Spirit Light execution, it transformed into an unconscious soul energy and dissipated completely into the heavens and earth with a gentle shake from Ying Pengrui.

Soul scattered, a real soul scattered, unable to even reincarnate.

Standing on the spot, Ying Pengrui’s face changed for a while, but eventually, he returned to calmness..
