What I teach you is real stuff.

Ye Tianlin explained the effects of the Three Corpse Divine Brain Pill, and Zhou Yuan didn't say anything more after listening.

Firstly, this pill can destroy a person's consciousness. After taking the pill, Wang Qingying will become a walking corpse, no different from a dead person. The matter of the Divine Peak inheritance cannot be passed on from a puppet's mouth.

Secondly, the Ye family behind Ye Tianlin is quite powerful. As Ye Tianlin just mentioned, many elders in the Ye family knew about the Ye family's furnace cultivation technique, and this matter has already attracted the attention of the Ye family.

Moreover, he is destined not to kill Ye Tianlin here today. No matter who gets the inheritance today, he and Ye Tianlin will be in the same boat from now on.

Furthermore, the relationship with the Ye family shouldn't be too strained, as there might be future collaborations, and Ye Tianlin should be given face.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan would not say anything more, Ye Tianlin also looked at Wang Qingying. Now it was Wang Qingying's turn to make a choice.

In truth, she had no choice. So many of her former classmates from the Northern Continent Academy had been killed. If Wang Qingying hadn't been a little smarter, there would have been just one more corpse lying here today.

By consuming the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and becoming a furnace for the Ye family, he still has a glimmer of hope. Although he will become an inexpressible walking corpse from then on, it is still better than dying here without any future.

Wang Qingying looked at the Three Corpse Brain God Pill in Ye Tianlin's hand, her face showing a complicated expression. She never expected that things would turn out this way. Originally, everyone came to this Medicine Sect Secret Realm to search for opportunities, but because of the appearance of this Divine Peak Inheritance, they turned against each other, and Zhou Yuan and Ye Tianlin also turned their final grievances on her.

Originally, Zhou Yuan intended for him to die, but Ye Tianlin gave him another option: to become his furnace, and only by becoming a puppet of the Ye family could he save his life.

This pill is extremely dangerous. Wang Qingying had heard of its infamous reputation before. It can quickly destroy a cultivator's consciousness after consumption. Only a Grand Cultivator above the Refinement stage can withstand this vicious pill, and Wang Qingying is clearly far from qualified. There is no doubt that the effect will be the same after she takes the pill.

This kind of vicious pill was banned from being refined by the Northern Continent Alliance many years ago for various reasons. Even the formula for refining this vicious pill was destroyed. It is just unexpected that someone in the Ye family still knows how to refine it, and is doing so secretly.

Wang Qingying gave a bitter smile. What's the difference between being killed by Zhou Yuan and Ye Tianlin and being turned into a mindless walking corpse after taking the pill?
The only difference might be that dying here now might still preserve a shred of dignity, while taking the pill would mean losing oneself and being at the mercy of the Ye family, with no idea what one would become in the future.

Wang Qingying was resolute and had already made a decision at this moment, but before that, she had some questions for Ye Tianlin.

"Senior Brother Ye, when did you start plotting against me?"

Wang Qingying looked at Ye Tianlin; she had wanted to ask this question since the very beginning.

Before this, she had always believed that Ye Tianlin's feelings for her were real, because when Wang Qingying first entered Beizhou Academy, the first person she met besides the academy's teachers was her most affectionate senior brother.

Later, Wang Qingying often encountered various problems in her cultivation. She had no background or elders to guide her, and many of these problems were solved by this Senior Brother Ye. She also developed a good impression of Senior Brother Ye.

But who could have imagined that this Senior Brother Ye had ulterior motives? Now, Wang Qingying only wanted to know when Ye Tianlin had started plotting against her, and she still harbored a sliver of hope.

But Ye Tianlin's next sentence shattered all of Wang Qingying's illusions.

"My Ye family has a special sensing method that allows us to know your special constitution the moment we see you."

Ye Tianlin's words were tantamount to telling Wang Qingying directly that he knew she was valuable to him from the first moment he saw her, which was why he took the initiative to approach her. There was no such thing as unprovoked help; everything had a reason.

Wang Qingying gave a bitter laugh.

It turns out I was just deluding myself. I really thought Ye Tianlin was sincere towards me, but now it seems it was all just a way to cultivate him into a vessel.

All the help, resources, and encouragement he received were merely paving the way for his future.

Chess pieces?
Wang Qingying smiled.

At this moment, she looked at Ye Tianlin with utter disgust, but in Ye Tianlin's eyes, it didn't matter anymore.

If it weren't for the matter of the Divine Peak inheritance today, he would still need to continue nurturing Wang Qingying's cultivation, and this charade would have to continue for a while longer until he breaks through to the Divine Transformation stage in the future.

But now that things have changed, he has no choice but to expose himself ahead of time. But it doesn't matter, since Wang Qingying will become his puppet soon. So what if he tells her the truth? Ye Tianlin doesn't care if he becomes a villain.

Ye Tianlin said, "Alright, enough nonsense. If you want to live, take this pill. At least I can promise that after you become my furnace, you can still enjoy the resources of my Ye family, and I will not mistreat you after I have finished my cultivation."

Ye Tianlin gave Wang Qingying one last promise, telling her that taking the elixir would solve everything.

However, Wang Qingying found Ye Tianlin increasingly disgusting, and it was impossible for her to submit to such a despicable person in order to save her life.

Although Wang Qingying was afraid of death, she was even more afraid of falling into the hands of such a despicable person, so what was there to fear about dying?
Wang Qingying sighed, thinking of her parents, and said, "Father and Mother, your daughter is unfilial and cannot fulfill her filial duties. Please take care of yourselves."

Wang Qingying deeply regretted not listening to her parents and going her own way. However, it was too late for regrets now; time cannot be turned back, and there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Then, Wang Qingying prepared to die by severing her vital energy.

She didn't even intend to fight Zhou Yuan and Ye Tianlin, because she knew that she was no match for Ye Tianlin, let alone Zhou Yuan.

Taking this opportunity to commit suicide is the best decision I could make. Otherwise, if I fight Ye Tianlin and am subdued and forced to drink the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, I won't even have the chance to commit suicide.

Wang Qingying circulated all the Golden Core True Qi in her body, intending to shatter the meridians throughout her body.

Upon seeing this, Ye Tianlin's pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Wang Qingying, stop!"

Wang Qingying was a top-notch furnace he had cultivated and valued for many years. It could be said that with Wang Qingying around, as long as she was alive, his chances of successfully breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage would be as high as 90%, and he would also be able to glimpse even higher realms and make a name for himself within the Northern Continent Alliance.

But if Wang Qingying dies today, not only will all his efforts over the years be in vain, but his originally certain Nascent Soul realm will also be unstable. How could Ye Tianlin allow such a thing to happen?

But at this moment, there was still some distance between Ye Tianlin and Wang Qingying, and it was too late for Ye Tianlin to stop them. Just at this critical moment, Zhou Yuan made his move.

With a single step, he teleported directly in front of Wang Qingying and struck her abdomen, which was where she was gathering her inner energy. This strike shattered the golden core true energy that Wang Qingying had just condensed, causing her energy to dissipate and ruining her plan to gather energy and commit suicide.

Zhou Yuan said, "It's not that easy to commit suicide." Wang Qingying was completely desperate. She never expected that the kind Zhou Yuan would be so despicable. She didn't even struggle anymore and couldn't even hang herself.

Besides, this is between him and Ye Tianlin, why are you interfering?

Ye Tianlin watched as Zhou Yuan traversed the void and shattered Wang Qingying's self-destructive true energy with a single palm strike. He was overjoyed, as long as Wang Qingying's life was saved.

Ye Tianlin said, "Thank you very much, Teacher Zhou, for making this possible."

Zhou Yuan originally wanted to curry favor with the Ye family, and helping Ye Tianlin win over Wang Qingying was just a side effect for him. Gaining Ye Tianlin's favor was naturally a great thing for him.

Zhou Yuan said, "No need to be so polite. I will need you to introduce me to the Ye family patriarch in the future."

Ye Tianlin naturally knew Zhou Yuan's thoughts, and the two of them hit it off immediately, finding common ground in each other's quirks.

Wang Qingying was in despair. His true energy had been scattered by Zhou Yuan, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, and he had been controlled by Zhou Yuan. Now he couldn't even commit suicide and had become a fish on a chopping board.

Zhou Yuan sealed Wang Qingying's cultivation and handed her over to Ye Tianlin, saying, "You can deal with your person now."

Ye Tianlin took out the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and said, "Qingying, you can't blame me for this. I've already given you a chance, but you refused to listen and even tried to commit suicide. I'll let you know what the consequences of disobeying me are."

Whether or not Wang Qingying takes the pill is no longer up to her. Ye Tianlin simply pries open her mouth and shoves the pill directly into her mouth.

Wang Qingying was still struggling frantically, but her struggles were completely useless. Even in her prime, she was no match for Ye Tianlin, let alone now that her dantian qi was sealed. How could she fight him?
He could only watch helplessly as the infamous Three Corpse Brain God Pill, shrouded in black energy, was sent into his mouth.

"Hey……"

Just as Ye Tianlin was about to put the Three Corpse Brain God Pill into his mouth, a sigh suddenly rang out.

The sigh was completely out of place in this world, and the sudden sound sent a shiver down one's spine, clearly indicating that there were other experts hiding here.

Ye Tianlin and Zhou Yuan got goosebumps all over their bodies. Although their cultivation was not top-notch, it was definitely not weak. In particular, Zhou Yuan had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his primordial spirit and divine sense perception were extremely powerful.

The fact that this person could hide in the shadows right under their noses without them noticing at all speaks volumes.
The opponent's cultivation and strength were far superior to theirs, and such a master had witnessed the entire thing they had just done. Moreover, if the opponent hadn't spoken up, they wouldn't have known anything at all, which made Zhou Yuan and Ye Tianlin's scalps tingle.

This kind of thing is supposed to be a closely guarded secret, something to be kept secret for life and taken to the coffin after death. Now that it has been seen by outsiders, it's like a bombshell.

Ye Tianlin and Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance and saw the beads of sweat on each other's foreheads. At the same time, they almost instantly understood each other's meaning.

That means killing them to silence them; they must be killed to silence them!
This person knows too much and has seen too much. He must die here today. He absolutely cannot be allowed to leave alive. Once he leaves alive and the news gets out, it will be their turn to suffer.

Ye Tianlin and Zhou Yuan both understood each other's meaning, and they also made a telepathic agreement to use their trump cards to defeat each other in one fell swoop when they made their move, leaving no room for maneuver and lest things get complicated.

Ye Tianlin asked, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

"What kind of skill is it to hide your head and show your tail? Could it be that you're also here for the inheritance of this divine peak?" Zhou Yuan was also looking around, and while looking around, he used a provocation to make the person who had just sighed show up.

The other party was well hidden; the two of them looked around for a long time but couldn't find him. It seemed to be a cultivator skilled in concealment.

Ye Tianlin's face turned cold: "Could he be some cowardly rat hiding his head and tail?"

It's not the stubborn kid you should fear, but the cunning rat in the gutter. This person just witnessed the whole thing and saw everything. If he keeps hiding and doesn't show himself, Ye Tianlin and Zhou Yuan will be truly uneasy.

If the other party keeps hiding like this, they'll be in big trouble.

Zhou Yuan said, "Don't worry about him for now. He's a cowardly rat hiding his head and tail. Let's see how long he can hide. Let's deal with Wang Qingying first. Once we two obtain the Divine Peak Inheritance, any concealment technique in this secret realm will be exposed. Then we'll have a way to deal with him."

This secret realm was created by the ancient medicine sect. Once we refine the divine peak inheritance of the ancient medicine sect, are we still afraid of not being able to find or deal with those hiding in this secret realm?

Once the inheritance is refined, this secret realm will belong to the inheritor. Every blade of grass and every tree within the secret realm can be sensed. How could he possibly fail to be discovered? Besides, the outside is currently protected by a barrier, making it impossible for him to escape. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn't; he would simply die a slow death.

Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Ye Tianlin nodded in agreement; that made sense.

He then ignored the person hiding in the shadows and continued feeding the medicine.

Just as Ye Tianlin was about to feed the medicine, the sighing figure finally appeared.

This person was not a physical entity, but a soul that stepped out from Wang Qingying's body. This bizarre scene stunned Zhou Yuan.

What method is this?
A soul possession? Didn't Wang Qingying say she came from an ordinary family and had no special background?
She actually has the protection of a powerful cultivator inside her body?
Zhou Yuan looked at the strange soul and asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you inside her?"

Ye Tianlin couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I don't care who you are, human or ghost, I'll kill you all today."

Ye Tianlin's tense nerves finally relaxed the moment he saw the figure appear. As long as this person hiding in the shadows dared to show his face, things would become simple.

All they have to do next is take care of this guy.

But for some reason, Zhou Yuan always felt a strange palpitation when facing this soul entity, and his heart was vaguely uneasy.

He stopped Ye Tianlin from making a move and questioned him carefully.

"Are you Wang Qingying's protector?" (End of Chapter)
