Chapter 138 Burning Technique
Apprentice?

In an instant, Xiao Yan recalled that when he was catching up with Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng had told him about a classic new plot in a Blue Star novel, where the protagonist was initially a good-for-nothing, and then was taken in as a disciple by a mysterious powerhouse.

He had an amazing run and reached the pinnacle of his life.

If that's the case, it's not entirely unacceptable.

But Qin Sheng's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "And then resurrect you?"

The old apothecary paused for a moment, realizing that the other party wasn't so easily fooled, and then nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. I was once harmed by a traitorous disciple and lost my physical body. Now, only my soul remains. To be resurrected, I naturally need the help of others. Of course, in return, I will do my utmost to help him become a powerful figure."

Qin Sheng interrupted him, "I once had a teacher who said he would help me become stronger, but in the end, what he valued was my physical body and wanted to possess me. I hate those who possess others more than anything. If you want to take me as a disciple, then you can go with peace of mind."

Seize the body?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a wave of fear wash over him, and couldn't help but curse angrily, "Old man, so this was your scheme all along!"

Before Xiao Yan could even utter a few words of cursing, Yao Lao was already enraged and began to hurl insults, "You're talking nonsense! As the dignified Yao Zun, with a long-standing reputation, how could I possibly do such a despicable thing? Only those bastards from the Soul Hall would steal someone else's body to use!"

"You are the Medicine Venerable?" Qin Sheng deliberately feigned surprise.

The old doctor nodded, seemingly already envisioning Qin Sheng apologizing.

But Qin Sheng's next move made Yao Lao's lips twitch again.

"Xiao Yanzi, have you heard of this person?"

Qin Sheng turned to look at Xiao Yan and said.

Xiao Yan shook his head blankly, "I don't know him."

"Since you don't know him, then let's not worry about it. Besides, I've been traveling all this way, ascending from the lower realm to this place, and I've seen plenty of hypocrites. How many renowned experts have chosen to sacrifice others in order to save their lives or break through their limits before their time was up? In my opinion, it's better not to take that risk. Let me search this person's soul. If there are any cultivation techniques or fighting skills in his mind, I'll extract a copy for you. That will make up for your losses over the past three years."

"Soul Search? Could it be that you've already condensed your Nascent Soul, brother?" Xiao Yan asked with a look of surprise.

"I am not very talented; I only condensed my Nascent Soul a few months ago," Qin Sheng said.

"Brother, you're amazing. I'll leave it to you then." Xiao Yan was overjoyed. If he could obtain those high-level cultivation techniques, then the humiliation he had endured over the past few years would not have been in vain.

As for taking a master?

Stop being funny.

Even someone as powerful as Brother Qin was almost possessed.

He's a beast of burden in his past life, so it's best not to take this risk.

With these advanced martial arts techniques and his own talent, plus the support of Brother Qin, he was able to take off.

"Who told me to be your older brother?" Qin Sheng patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder.
“Big brother, once a big brother, always a big brother. No matter when or where, you will always be the elder, and I will always be the younger. But this soul-searching seems to damage the brain. Look at how weak this old man is. Won't this mean that the Emperor's Banner will be missing a powerful demon?”

“It’s alright. I think the flames on this old man’s body are quite good. If we can obtain these flames, we can at least salvage some of our losses.”

The two of them kept talking back and forth, making the old doctor so angry that he wanted to curse.

However, to avoid becoming mentally impaired after the soul-searching procedure, he reluctantly spoke up, "Wait, I can prove that I am not trying to possess someone's body." "How can you prove it? If it's a resurrection technique, then forget it. Once that's used, it's basically equivalent to cutting off the cultivator's path."

Even so, Qin Sheng began to ponder.

It seems that in the original novel, the ghostly mist that Luo Hou transformed into was largely attracted by Yuan Yao's resurrection technique.

If I could control a Core Formation cultivator to perform the Resurrection Technique and attract Rahu to the original timeline, and then set up a scheme to attract Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths, and even the Star Palace, wouldn't that allow the Emperor's Banner to produce a batch of Nascent Soul stage demons?

The old apothecary had no idea what Qin Sheng was thinking, but judging from his calculating expression, he knew he was definitely up to no good.

At the same time, the resurrection technique mentioned by the other party also piqued his interest.

Judging from his manner, this technique seems to allow a soul to be resurrected and regain a physical body.

After pondering for a while, the old doctor said, "It's not some kind of resurrection technique. I've never heard of any such technique, nor do I know how to possess a body, nor have I ever learned any secret methods like possession. It's another kind of resurrection method, which involves refining the body with a different kind of fire."

After all that rambling, is the main point finally here?

A glint flashed in Qin Sheng's eyes. "Then hand over the cultivation technique. If it is genuine, I might give you a chance. Of course, you can choose not to. But then, whether it's true or false won't matter. I only need to search your soul to confirm it."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, then at Qin Sheng, and finally sighed helplessly.

He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, stretched out his withered palm, and after a slight shake, a somewhat ethereal black scroll appeared in his hand.

Qin Sheng slightly opened his eyes, releasing his divine sense, which was much larger than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and it passed through the mirror array.

The next moment, a pale golden, transparent figure, identical to him, appeared opposite Yao Lao.

Soul power materializing? Yao Lao was secretly alarmed. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to escape, but now it seemed that his plan was doomed.

After Qin Sheng's divine consciousness materialized into a human figure, the cultivation method of the Burning Technique and the introduction to the method of refining the body appeared in Qin Sheng's mind.

"If this technique is real, it can prove the truth of your words. However, we still need to wait for me to verify it before we can say anything more."

Qin Sheng said.

"How do you verify it? You're not going to try to perform that soul-searching on me, are you?"

The old doctor said angrily.

"That won't be necessary. We just need to find an unlucky soul, use a mind-controlling technique on them to confirm the authenticity, and then kill them. If this technique is genuine, not only will I not make things difficult for you, but I might even help you revive. As you've probably noticed, the power of my Golden Divine Flame surpasses that of ordinary strange flames. Adding your White Frost Flame, that makes two strange flames. Once we find one more, we'll have three. Reviving you and refining the necessary Bone-Regenerating and Blood-Melting Pill won't be a problem. Until then, you should stay in the jade box."

As Qin Sheng spoke, he took out a jade box.

"I hope you will keep your promise." Under duress, Yao Lao had no choice but to agree.

After he re-entered the dark ring, Qin Sheng cast a spell to control a small ball of golden divine flame to envelop the ring.

Then it was placed in a jade box and sealed with several talismans.
