Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 83: Sophistry, Tiandou City
Lin Xiang didn't do anything else to the knight and the civil servant because it was not the right time yet and he wanted to maximize the effectiveness of the medicine on the two of them.

So he just chatted with the two of them, continued to take mood-stabilizing medication, and then went about his own business.

Organize experimental data, prepare drugs, and deduce the follow-up of the method...

The knights and civil servants watched Lin Xiang work and were surprised to find that Lin Xiang was very calm from beginning to end, no different from the patient doctor in the clinic. For him, studying the evil life-eating method was no different from seeing a doctor and prescribing ordinary medicine.

"Schisandra chinensis...Phoenix grass..."

Lin Xiang pondered the properties of the medicinal materials and muttered to himself. With the combination of medicinal materials, the effect of human body parts can be maximized.

"He doesn't look crazy," the civil servant said to the knight.

Under the influence of the drug, the knight's expression was relaxed, but his mind told him that he should be serious at this moment, "It's too crazy to look normal."

"I need to correct a small mistake of yours. I'm just doing what I think I should do. Why does it seem crazy to you?" Lin Xiang put down his notes and said to the two of them.

"You think you're not crazy for studying how to eat human food?" the civil servant retorted sarcastically.

"What counts as cannibalism?"

"Does killing people count as cannibalism? If so, don't nobles and merchants eat people?"

"Just a few adjustments to policies and prices can drive countless families to ruin and death. How many people can a person who practices the Life-Eating Technique eat in his lifetime? They are just a drop in the bucket of those who died because of tyranny."

The civil servant said disdainfully: "It's just sophistry. How can the implementation of a policy start just because it's said so? Do you think we are just decorations? Besides, any policy has its pros and cons. You only see the disadvantages, but you don't see how many people benefit from it!"

"Don't those who suffer as a result deserve it?"

The civil servant said seriously, "Nothing is perfect. And if they are harmed by one policy, they will naturally benefit from another. They only see what they have lost and not what they have gained. That's too greedy!"

The knight chimed in, "What the Imperial dogs said is correct. As for the merchants overpricing you mentioned, the Imperial dogs are still doing a good job in this regard."

Lin Xiang exhaled lightly, "What you said makes sense."

The knight and the civil servant were stunned.

——Were you so easily convinced?
"But I won't change it." Lin Xiang said, "If the experiment that has already begun is abandoned halfway, neither I nor those who have died can accept it."

His eyes were as determined as those of a great man.

"Disgusting!" the civil servant said coldly.

"Whatever you say, I didn't develop this method just for others to understand me."

"He pretends to be a noble person, but in essence he is just a self-satisfied selfish lunatic." The civil servant straightened up and glared at him.

Lin Xiang nodded, "You are right."

"Aren't you afraid that the souls of those who died because of you will come to claim their lives?"

"Come if you can. I'm curious if ghosts can be eaten."

The civil servants continued to curse, and the knights occasionally joined in, but Lin Xiang remained unmoved.

Just like a ball of cotton, no matter how you suppress it, it will not have the slightest effect on it.

This was said until midnight. The knights and civil servants were drowsy from the effects of the drugs, but they still managed to keep attacking the forest elephants.

Seeing that they were tired, Lin Xiang kindly gave them some sleeping pills.

——It’s finally quiet.

Lin Xiang felt emotional.

"As expected of a completely brainwashed lackey!"

A flash of silver light.

Teleport instantly, then use the Six Qi and Blood Styles - use the finger gun to hit the lower abdomen and injure it severely, then use the mycelium to enter the body to limit the soul power, then use the soul guide chain to restrain the movement.

"Running dogs? I think they have their own thoughts." Chi Ping said calmly after subduing Lin Xiang with a series of moves.

……

Meeting once every two months means that Lin Xiang and Shi Fei will not be too far apart.

Using spatial resonance perception, it was not particularly difficult for Chi Ping to find the forest elephant.

Although the Life-Devouring Method is a newly created method, it is also a relatively complete method. Lin Xiang, the creator of the method, will naturally also practice it.

By devouring another person's body and cultivation, one will also be infected with the other person's aura, just like absorbing a soul ring will be infected with the aura of a soul beast.

If humans are regarded as a kind of soul beast that cannot produce soul rings, the remaining aura will be similar.

When interrogating Shi Fei, Chi Ping memorized the mixed aura on his body, and using this as a reference for searching, Chi Ping was able to find Lin Xiang easily.

……

With ultra-long-distance perception and instant teleportation, Chi Ping might be considered one of the strongest assassins in the world.

Soul masters without special abilities are basically unable to block Chi Ping's attack.

Before Lin Xiang could react, Chi Ping had already used hyphae to penetrate deep into his body to restrict the flow of soul power and locked his body with soul guide chains.

"who are you?"

The pain from the piercing of the abdomen gradually eased. When Lin Xiang discovered that his soul power was constantly draining away and that he felt severe pain all over his body whenever he activated his soul power, he stopped struggling and calmly looked at Chi Ping with doubt.

"Me? I'm probably the same as them. I stumbled upon your experimental subject and followed the clues to find you. I want to kill you, my good friend."

Lin Xiang was even more confused.

"You investigated me? When?"

He had no idea when Chi Ping investigated him.

"I want you to know what a secret investigation is." Chi Ping said calmly, "Okay. After listening to you and the other two talking so much, I have a little understanding of you. I am going to kill you now and destroy all your research data. After that, I will kill all the people who have used the Life Devouring Technique. Any last words?"

Ikehira's reaction was too calm, like he was about to kill a chicken instead of a person.

As soon as Lin Xiang heard it, he knew that Chi Ping would not be affected, and now asking him to leave a will was probably just a casual remark.

"The Life Devouring Technique can allow those who cannot practice to become soul masters. If I continue to research, it may even allow soul masters to break through the bottleneck. You will have descendants, but your descendants may not necessarily become soul masters. There will also be people who lack talent. As long as you don't kill me, I can offer all my research to you. If you master the Life Devouring Technique, you can even establish a power that will never decline and will be passed down through the ages!"

Despite the life-and-death situation, Lin Xiang still spoke clearly.

He knew this was his only chance to survive, and he would survive if Chi Ping wavered in the slightest.

"Future generations will have their own blessings."

After one sentence, the palm fell and the man died.

The next day, news of Mr. Lin's death spread throughout the city, and the knights and civil servants returned to the Spirit Hall and the City Lord's Mansion in a daze to report.

The basement where the two were imprisoned was now empty.

A month later, all the people who were related to the Life-Eating Technique were killed.

……

In February of Douluo 2649, two years before the five-year agreement, Chi Ping returned to Tiandou City after being away for a year and a half, and his cultivation reached level 2.

Entering the city in his original form, Chi Ping arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

"Butler, please inform them that Chi Ping is visiting."
