Chapter 64: The Essence of the Evil
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the underground prison of the Devil Slayers Division.
After extracting the divine soul essence of the Black Mountain Practitioner with his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
Lu Yuan felt that this skill had already exceeded the scope of the Pill Refinement Technique.
How could such a fierce skill be used for pill refinement!
[Ding! Because you have seriously performed a type of divine soul pill refinement, Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique proficiency +100]
[Level 1. Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique: 100/10000]
He looked at the system notification, his proficiency in the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique had begun to rise.
Lu Yuan finally understood the nature of the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
Previously, Lu Yuan had already discovered that ordinary pill refinement activities were already unable to increase the proficiency of his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
Regarding this, Lu Yuan judged that in ordinary pill refinement, there was no need to use the step of ‘soul refinement’.
Therefore, he was unable to increase the proficiency of his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
Unless he waited until he refined a Core Formation Stage medicinal pill, would the proficiency of his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique be increased during the pill refinement process.
This was because refining Core Formation Stage pills required ‘soul refinement’.
After all, medicinal herbs that could reach the Core Formation Stage already possessed a certain level of ‘spirituality*.
This so-called spirituality was a type of divine soul.
However, before today, these were all Lu Yuan’s guesses.
It was also after today that it was confirmed.
The conclusion was that the key to the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique was not in pill refinement but in the divine soul.
It was also because of the ability to refine the divine soul that this skill had a magical effect that was different from the previous Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique.
If Lu Yuan still wanted to continue to improve his proficiency in Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique in the future.
Then he needed to develop more in the direction of ‘divine soul refinement’.
The Devil Slayers Division was undoubtedly able to provide him with such an environment.
Just the Grade A dungeon area in front of him alone had a total of 30 high-quality refining materials.
As for whether he would feel guilty using these guys to refine the divine soul.
Lu Yuan had thought this through very thoroughly.
First of all, there were basically no innocent people who could be locked up here.
Every single one of them was an existence whose hands were stained with blood. Their deaths were not worth regretting.
Lu Yuan used them to refine his divine souls. In essence, it was not much different from executing these guys.
Secondly, most of the people locked up here were actually ‘inhuman’ existences.
There were only two or three people among the thirty Grade A prisoners who were evil cultivators like the Black Mountain Practitioner, who used living people to practice their cultivation techniques.
Lu Yuan could roughly guess the reason for this.
After all, compared to the demons and evildoers…
These evil cultivators were undoubtedly more valuable to the righteous cultivators.
Whether it was the information they knew about the devilish way or the divine ability cultivation techniques they might know, they were all things that cultivators could use.
Therefore, when those evil cultivators in Foundation Establishment Stage and above levels were captured.
Would basically be interrogated by the captors before they could be sent to the Devil Slayers Division.
The evil cultivators were sent here alive after interrogation.
It was either they were too stubborn, or they really did not have any beneficial information.
As for the demons and evildoers that were sent over, they were not as valuable as the evil cultivators.
Only some demons could be reused, but the evildoers were really useless.
Not only was it dangerous, but it also took up space, time and effort.
The reason why he said this was because the so-called ‘Evildoers’ was actually neither a demon nor a cultivator, much less a human.
Although many of them looked no different from humans.
However, it was this group of fellows who were so fierce that they could kill immortals they were weaker than a chicken bred for two and a half years in
the mortal world.
The only way to determine whether one was an evildoer was to see if he could be killed by the other.
The so-called evildoers were essentially a group of creatures of law.
It was a product born under certain conditions.
The most common type of evildoer was born from the folk legends of the mortal world.
You might not even be able to say for sure that there were evildoers before there were these folk legends.
or it was the folk legends that came first before the evil spirits.
As for the Evildoers, other than having the unique characteristic of being impossible to completely killed.
Another characteristic of them was that they would act according to specific conditions.
Based on this characteristic, the cultivators had specially formulated ways to deal with the evildoers.
As long as he understood the specific conditions of an evildoer, he would not have to worry about being hurt by the evildoer.
This unique characteristic was recorded in many celestial cultivation sects.
They preferred to call these evildoers ‘the heavens incarnate’.
As for what the ways of the heavens represented in the Xianxia World… In fact, they were rules.
The so-called evildoer was a rule that had already been materialized.
For sects, the term ‘evildoer’ was used to describe the ‘the heavens incarnate*.
Lu Yuan felt that the description was quite appropriate.
Because from his perspective, he felt that these evildoers were actually Immortal Hero Version robots with a unique set of ‘bottom-level thinking logic*.
Something that could be materialized and acted according to specific conditions.
Wasn’t that just a ‘robot’?
After knowing this, Lu Yuan no longer had much fear of the evildoers imprisoned in the underground prison.
As long as he did not trigger the other party’s conditions, these guys were safer than anyone else.
As for the rules of the movement of the evildoers in the underground prison.
Every single one of them was clearly recorded in the files of the Devil Slayers Division.
Before Lu Yuan came to the dungeon, he had specially learned about it.
It was a steady one!
Back to the main topic, after Lu Yuan dealt with the Black Mountain Practitioner, he began to focus on the ‘divine soul essence’ in his hand.
The cultivation of the divine soul was dangerous to begin with, rashly absorbing other’s divine soul was an extremely risky matter.
After all, once one absorbed too much of another person’s divine soul, it was very likely that one’s rationality would be affected.
It could cause one to be in a trance, or at worst, cause one’s self-awareness to collapse.
In the end, there might even be twisted and absurd thoughts of ‘who I am, where I am, and whether I am me’.
Thus, before Lu Yuan absorbed the soul essence of the Black Mountain Practitioner, he needed to process his divine soul.
However, it was not convenient to carry out this process here.
Therefore, after putting the divine soul of the Black Mountain Practitioner into a special container.
Lu Yuan left the underground prison.
As for the death of the Black Mountain Practitioner, Lu Yuan was now the director of the Devil Slayers Division.
Even if an ordinary person could kill the Black Mountain Practitioner.
Not only would the Devil Slayers Division not pursue the matter, but they would also even reward the other party.
After all, these demons and evil cultivators were harder to kill than the last.
If he had to worry about them causing trouble if he kept them locked up, he might as well kill them.
After Lu Yuan killed the Black Mountain Practitioner, he unexpectedly discovered something interesting.
That is, there seemed to be a special array in this underground prison.
When the Black Mountain Practitioner died, not only was the evil spirit in his body absorbed and purified by the dungeon.
Even his luck was fused into the Great Xia Kingdom’s dragon vein.
This was not Lu Yuan’s wild guess, but because he was sensitive enough to luck.
This also allowed Lu Yuan to discover one of the important reasons why the Qingyun Sect had established the Devil Slayers Division.
Fallen flowers were not heartless things, turning into spring mud to protect the flowers.
The demons and evil cultivators who harmed the people of Great Xia would become nourishment for the Great Xia Kingdom after their deaths.
It was indeed a perfect closed loop.
Although he was a little envious of this portion of luck, as a steady person, Lu Yuan was very clear about what might happen if he stole this portion of luck.
Once someone discovered that the Great Xia Kingdom’s luck had decreased, and later discover that the source was the Demon Slayers Division.
In the end, if they followed the clues and found him, it was very likely that the matter of him being able to absorb the luck would be exposed.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan secretly sighed in his heart.
Sigh, if only 1 could find someone to take the blame for me.
1 take the luck and others take the blame. What a perfect plan!
Unfortunately, such a person was not easy to find….
