The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

“The several Golden Core Real Persons of the sect merely inspected the Red Lotus Fire State, ascertained that he died from an attack of the Red Lotus fire, and then they ceased their investigation,”

Zhang Dao Xuan nodded, confirming that their estimations were not far off, ” Red Lotus fire has completely consumed all evidences, naturally, they would not find any clues, but, we must be careful of this person’s comrades infiltrating the Liu Yun Sect.”

“I will surely be cautious,” Lin Yi made a fist and saluted, placing the jar on the table, “I want to learn the secret technique for creating paper men. If this person is not willing to surrender it, please assist me, Master, to perform a soul search on him.”

This guy, just like the Flower Thief disciple, is of the same wicked kind, cunning and vicious. As for soul searching this kind of person, there wouldn’t be the slightest psychological burden.

This Dan God Secret Realm, being able to wipe out a person’s memory, soul searching should be quite simple.

Zhang Dao Xuan could not help but smile, “You are planning to use various life-saving techniques to protect yourself tightly. Open it up. It’s just a small matter.”

Lin Yi grinned, took back all the Exorcism Charms, and opened the jar.

With the Pill Immortal Master here, even if this person is released, he won’t be able to stir up any waves.

When the jar was opened, a divine soul shadow immediately emerged from inside, transformed into that dwarf old man he once was. As soon as he saw Lin Yi, his face grimaced and charged at Lin Yi, “Almost suffocated me to death, kid, I am going to kill you.”

However, he found himself unable to move from the spot above the jar.

“Even though it’s not some wicked object, it’s still crooked practices. You have severed the foundation of being human. Even if you seize another’s body, you will not be able to succeed in the Immortal Way.” Zhang Dao Xuan said indifferently, his tone filled with contempt.

Man is the spirit of all things with unique natural conditions. Giving up the divine soul foundation of being human, and becoming something that resembles neither human nor ghost, is simply akin to giving up a mountain of treasure to embrace a ball of feces.

“To hell with you. Who says I practice crooked ways…” The little old man was immediately enraged at his words and cursed loudly. Still, he was immobilized and could not see the face of the person behind him.

Soon, he found himself involuntarily turned around, and upon seeing Zhang Dao Xuan, a look of shock appeared on his face because he felt a powerful divine soul power.

This kind of divine soul which only one in the Deification Realm could split off, coupled with the presence of the precious Spirit Grass Medicine Garden, made him stutter, “You, you are, Elder, Elder Dan God?”

Among the secret realms he knew, only the Dan God Secret Realm could have those precious spirit grasses.

Zhang Dao Xuan glanced at him indifferently, not interested in paying attention to this human. With just a thought, he turned him to face Lin Yi.

Lin Yi sneered, “My master doesn’t want to waste words with your kind, and neither do I. Now, hand over the correct technique for creating paper men. Otherwise, don’t blame me for soul-searching you.”

The dwarf old man’s face changed drastically. He hadn’t taken Lin Yi’s threats seriously in the beginning, but now, with a strand of divine soul of Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan here, he dared not disobey.

Because such a powerful divine soul as his could easily perform a soul search on him. Moreover, once the soul search was made, he would cease to exist.

He quickly said, “I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything, please spare my life.”

“You have no right to negotiate, speak now,” Lin Yi said expressionlessly.

The dwarf old man’s face changed again and again, finally clenching his teeth and saying, “Fine, I’ll tell, there are several mistakes in that secret book…”

Following the confession of the dwarf old man, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. As expected, besides types of ingredients and their ratios, even the mysterious symbols illustrated in it were incorrect.

These errors in the manual allowed the paper men to function at a minimal level, but the consumption of divine sense was exceedingly high, and the distance they could be controlled was very short. They could only be considered as semi-finished products.

He sneered, “Most masters hold back some techniques, but you have held back quite a few.”

A trace of resentment appeared on the dwarf old man’s face, “I knew early on that this scoundrel had a traitorous intention. Naturally, I wouldn’t give him the real manual. That traitor even schemed against me. It’s just a pity that I had already made preparations.”

“My plan to seize a body was about to succeed when you killed this traitor.” It looked at Lin Yi and seemed to blame him a little.

With a flicker of thought, Lin Yi sent a small bolt of lightning towards the short old man, “You and your disciple are two of a kind. Your death would be a small loss.”

Other types of energy might not harm the soul body, but lightning was a different matter, especially when it was fused with his golden core.

The ill fate of Liu Qiao Ling, the daughter of the wealthy merchant Liu, was deeply linked to the flower thief.

The short old man had been struck by lightning, losing more than half of his body. His remaining soul body was barely visible. He screamed in pain, “Spare me, spare me. I have stashed away materials for making paper man. These are accumulated through many years by my sect…”

Lin Yi did not attack further. The bolt he just sent out was only a tiny lightning strike, which he controlled to exert the power equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Otherwise, obliterating this soul body would be a simple task.

Now if he were to fully use his thunder and lightning techniques, not even the evil spirits of the Nascent Soul Realm could withstand it.

“It seems you still have something to hide. Speak.” Lin Yi was worrying about where to find materials to make paper men.

At present, he had no easy access to the White Pig-Demon in the depths of the Monster Forest, or the Ghost Demon White Taro that grew in lands filled with demonic or ghostly miasma.

The short old man’s soul body started to flicker rapidly, as if about to disappear any moment.

Seeing the instability of the old man’s soul body, Zhang Dao Xuan flicked his finger to supply him with some energy.

“Th-thank you, Elder.” The short old man quickly expressed his gratitude.

Then, the short old man informed Lin Yi of the location where they hid things. That was their sect’s true base.

“True base? It must be full of beings like you that are neither human nor ghost”. Lin Yi didn’t believe that this place would be completely safe.

The short old man cleared his throat, “Yes, my master and several uncles have all become like me. Initially, they wanted to take over my body. I barely managed to escape and didn’t dare to return.”

“However, they are all in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It would take little effort for the Immortal Master to destroy them.”

I’ll check the situation there myself. Either you enter the jar willingly, or I will make you.” Lin Yi pointed at the jar and said.

“Immortal Master, you also cultivate the Divine Shadow Dharma, and I have some experience that can help you.” At this point, the short old man hurriedly spoke up. It had barely gotten out and didn’t want to go back in so soon.

Lin Yi shook his head, “No need. Your experiences are trivial.”

He indeed wanted to gain some insights into the Divine Shadow Dharma from this old man at first.

However, with his own cultivation and insights gained from [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], he had a better understanding.

These were insights gained from his own cultivation, which were more suitable for him than anything he could learn from others. There was no need to get anything from this man anymore.

The short old man found that he was able to move again. Seeing Lin Yi’s cold expression, he looked back at Zhang Dao Xuan,” Elder Dan God, I can serve you here. I can do anything you want.”

Zhang Dao Xuan gave him a look that directly scared him into jumping back into the jar without any hesitation.

Lin Yi put the lid back on the jar and covered it with Exorcism Charm Scrolls.

“This man has committed many evils. He should not stay for long.” Zhang Dao Xuan said slowly.

Looking through the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi could see the thick black aura emitted from the man. He smiled and said, “Master, once I’ve taken the things from his sect, I will deal with him.”

The short old man, as the master of the flower thief, had done worse things than the flower thief since he was young. Lin Yi wouldn’t let him go easily.
