Qi Mingchen's eyes were cold, he took a few steps back, raised his hand to gather his spiritual power in his palm, and pointed it at Liu Minghua's chest.
"Release your spiritual power!" Liu Minghua exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief!
He knew very well that Qi Mingchen's cultivation was absolutely impossible to reach the level where he could release his spiritual power. He could even feel it from the incoming spiritual power, which should be about the strength of the fifth level of pill formation.
Even so, it is too outrageous!
Let’s not talk about the speed of this cultivation progress. Just looking at the method of releasing spiritual power is enough to attract the attention of the people in Jiange. What’s more, it’s only been so long since the last breakthrough. Why is it now at the fifth level of pill formation?
There is definitely someone guiding me from behind.
Thoughts flashed through Liu Minghua's mind, but he couldn't stop the spiritual power from hitting him and penetrating his body.
He clutched his chest and took two steps back, leaning against the tree.
"Ahem!"
While coughing, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
The pain did not affect his mood. At this moment, Liu Minghua felt like he was in an ice cave, and his whole body was so cold that he felt chilly.
An emotion of never being able to win against the opponent arises from the inside out, accompanied by endless fear.
Why?
Will you lose to this person every time?
Why……
Liu Minghua wanted to run away, but his feet could not exert any strength. In the darkness, he raised his eyes and looked at the person not far away. The junior brother he was most familiar with did not continue to attack, but walked towards him step by step.
Normally, he should take advantage of this to make a sneak attack, and he would definitely be able to hurt this person!
Can……
But the junior brother's dark eyes could not be seen clearly under the moonlight, and an irresistible emotion made his whole body numb.
I even had hallucinations before my eyes.
ghost?
Evil spirit!
…
Qi Mingchen walked over and found that the man's eyes were dull, as if he was in deep fear.
For some reason, he had a feeling that the curtain was coming to an end.
Finally, the biggest problem so far has been solved.
It was not as satisfying as I imagined. On such an ordinary night, I defeated the person I hated the most.
Is there really no fluctuation?
Not really.
Maybe I feel relieved...
Qi Mingchen pulled off the other party's mask, looked at the familiar face underneath, and asked, "Did you go to Shadow Pavilion?"
Liu Minghua's eyes were filled with fear and his lips were trembling. He did not answer directly, but asked dully: "Why?"
"What?" he asked with a frown, not understanding what Liu Minghua meant.
"Why have I become like this since you came?"
There was pure doubt in Liu Minghua's eyes, like a child asking an adult a question that he didn't understand.
"It's not me, it's you. Even if I weren't here, there would be someone else who would inspire the suppressed evil in your heart, your jealousy, your madness. I'm just the closest to you..."
Qi Mingchen observed that the other party had been eroded by spiritual power and looked frightened. He did not rush to kill him. He said: "You should thank your brother. He begged me many times to save you."
"Brother..." Liu Minghua's eyes became brighter, "It turns out that he has always known that you can't mess with him. It's me. I'm too obsessed."
"But, I will never let go of what you did to me."
Qi Mingchen approached, thought of something, and asked, "You just went to Shadow Pavilion. Did you hire a new killer?"
Liu Minghua's eyes were dull, he looked at the moon in the distance, and nodded slowly, "It's not me who hired him, but the pavilion master who planned to take action himself..."
He was startled and thought of the talkative Mu Qingdu. If he was targeted, he would definitely be in trouble.
What's more, according to Mu Qingdu's late-acquired strength, he would definitely not be able to survive in the opponent's hands unless he used his first light to instantly kill the opponent.
He has seen deeply how much of a conscience-less lunatic that Mu Qingdu is!
"In that case, let's start and end with you."
Qi Mingchen put his hand on the opponent's head, and a steady stream of spiritual power came down from the top of his head and circulated throughout his body.
"From now on, you will spend every day in fear and nightmares until the inner demons are completely gone..."
"No, no, let me go! Please!" Liu Minghua knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Junior brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
The person who had planned to kill him before was now kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face.
There was no pleasure in his heart, only irony.
It was clear that he had become Liu Minghua's inner demon, an existence that could not be relieved unless he was eliminated, but now he could let go of his deepest obsession because of fear.
Qi Mingchen felt the terrifying nature of his spiritual power, which could affect people to such an extent. He had never heard of such methods in the entire continent.
It seems that when going to Jiange in the future, this method should be used less frequently.
After that, Qi Mingchen ignored the person who fell on the ground and turned to leave the woods. When he went back, he met Liu Mingxiao who looked anxious.
"Senior Brother Qi!" Liu Mingxiao stepped forward and looked at him with fear and worry, fearing that he would get some news he didn't want to hear from him.
"Are you looking for Liu Minghua?" His expression was cold, and he couldn't feel the slightest emotion in his body.
"Yes...my brother?"
"Yours is in the woods, go pick it up."
Liu Mingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly thanked: "Thank you, senior brother Qi, thank you!"
After saying that, he left without stopping, his anxiety and worry almost overflowing.
"It's a good brotherhood." Qi Mingchen's words were full of sarcasm. Without real strength as support, both this brother and that brother would look different.
Back at the mansion, he began to think about Mu Qingdu's trouble.
To summarize, Mu Qingdu was interested in his hidden identity "Hong Chen", and now he was also interested in his apparent identity of Qi Mingchen.
Mu Qingdu probably didn't think of the two identities together, otherwise the other party would definitely not have this attitude during the trial.
At the same time, I had seen that when Hong Chen seriously injured a person with innate-level means, he would not easily accept the task of killing him.
This proves that Mu Qingdu does not know that Hong Chen is Qi Mingchen.
The master of the branch pavilion is eyeing two identities at the same time. He is afraid and curious about Hong Chen's identity, but he should only be interested in exploring Qi Mingchen's identity.
He personally took over the task of assassinating him, probably because he was interested in him leaving the back mountain or his rapid improvement in strength.
"It seems that during this period, things need to be more low-key."
Qi Mingchen took out a low-grade red-grade finished elixir from the ring, which he had bought from the Chamber of Commerce.
In the past, he could use spiritual power to repair waste elixirs and restore the elixirs into finished elixirs. Sometimes, they would mutate and turn into other types of elixirs.
This time, he was going to try to inject spiritual power into the finished elixir and observe the changes.
[Why are you putting spiritual power into the elixir? You will destroy the elixir. 】
"I'm just experimenting." He stared at the elixir, not taking the ghost's words seriously.
[Do you have any extra... that golden energy? I want to eat some more. 】
"No."
[I have an alchemy method here. I can teach you enough to make green elixirs. That is a fourth-level alchemist. As long as you give me a little bit of that energy every day, how about it? 】
This is a resource that everyone dreams of. Qi Mingchen raised his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'm not good at alchemy."
I was once curious about how to make alchemy, and pestered the fifth elder to teach him, but the result was that the alchemy furnace exploded. There were complicated ratios of materials, heat, and a lot of things to remember...
At that time, he knew that he was not the material for alchemy and it was too troublesome.
[No, you don’t even learn alchemy? This is the rarest inheritance of mine. I see that you are quite interested in elixirs. Do you really not want to learn them? 】
The ghost was anxious, but he didn't expect that someone would remain unmoved even after offering so many chips.
I don’t know if he doesn’t know the value of it, or if he really doesn’t care!
"I'm only interested in controlling spiritual power, like this..."
Qi Mingchen placed the elixir in the palm of his hand and wrapped his spiritual power evenly around the elixir. He was already very proficient in how to control the elixir without damaging it. As long as there was no particularly strong interference, it was basically impossible for the elixir to be damaged.
I saw a faint golden light emitting from the light red pill.
This shows that spiritual power works on the elixir!
Faced with this discovery, Qi Mingchen was very excited. After the waste pill was repaired, the spiritual power inside would become saturated and no more spiritual power could be input.
But the spiritual power in this elixir is not saturated, so what will happen after it is saturated?
[You control your spiritual power well, but what's the use? Make the elixir shine? 】
"..." Qi Mingchen was too lazy to explain, but he was not prepared to hide this existence that was almost bound to him. In the future, the ghost would definitely know many secrets about him.
Likewise, he will also figure out the true purpose of the ghost.
Half a day passed, and he kept maintaining the same movement, and the elixir continued to emit a faint light.
【What are you doing? 】
Ming Gui also felt something was wrong. Based on its understanding, Qi Mingchen would never waste time doing useless work. In other words, there must be some purpose in doing so.
But simply understanding it as exercising spiritual power and controlling spiritual power is a bit far-fetched.
Qi Mingchen ignored it and looked at the pill attentively. His body gradually became tired, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, the elixir emitted a strong light, which lasted for a few seconds and then gradually disappeared.
A red pill, much darker than before, lay quietly in his palm.
"It's done!"
Qi Mingchen was extremely excited.
Before, his spiritual energy concentration was not enough, and he had hidden injuries on his body. When all these were resolved, his idea was verified.
After the spiritual power in the finished elixir is saturated, it will rise to a higher level and mutate into a completely different elixir from the original one.
In other words, as long as he inputs spiritual power into the finished elixir, he can achieve both upgrade and mutation...
There were still many guesses in his mind waiting to be verified, but another voice completely interrupted his thoughts.
[Promoted...promoted? 】
The ghost's voice even trembled a little.
[I would rather believe that I am blind...]
