Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 173 The Book of Contracts
It could even be said that without the involvement of the Fu and Yu families in questioning, this woman posed no threat to Wei Henian whatsoever.

A single soul search would expose everything.

Only under the protection of the Fu and Yu families can this woman ensure that her soul is not searched, and can she make trouble and frame others.

At this moment, this woman became Li Yunjing's tool to fight back against Wei Henian!

At this moment, Li Yunjing held his "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" at an angle, the tip of the sword pointing at the woman's brow, his killing intent surging without any concealment!

Seeing Li Yunjing's cold expression, Feng Xueting felt like he had reached a dead end.

Li Yunjing is a cold-blooded and ruthless man, decisive in killing, and women have no effect on him. Yet he is also cautious and has not revealed any flaws so far.

Such a person is truly impossible to deal with, especially since Feng Xueting is injured and has difficulty moving. It seems that he is truly doomed this time.

At this moment, Feng Xueting was filled with regret. If she had known Li Yunjing was so powerful, why had she provoked this evil star?

The Shenxiao Dao Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the most powerful sect in the Ming Dynasty, having produced such a remarkable figure.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to run away rather than get involved in this mess with Boss Wang, but it's no use regretting it now.

Gritting his teeth, Feng Xueting had no choice but to plead pitifully, "Well... although my cultivation is at the Foundation Establishment stage, it's still not as powerful as Fellow Daoist Li's! If you want to kill me, I can't resist!"

At this moment, the woman lay on the ground, her limbs twisting gently. Her bare shoulders were exposed through her torn red clothes, and her gauze skirt was ripped, revealing almost everything in between, making her extremely alluring.

Her two jade-like arms, as white as snow and gleaming with an alluring crystalline luster, seemed to possess a different kind of tragic beauty in the horrifying bloodstains on them.

"I am willing to serve Fellow Daoist Li and will listen to you in everything! I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Feng Xueting extended her slender, jade-like finger to her lips, parted her rosy lips slightly, and said in a soft, seductive voice, "I am skilled in seductive arts, and can make Fellow Daoist Li feel like he is in heaven!"

The seductive voice was so alluring it sent shivers down my spine.

"Heh heh! Your honey trap won't work on me! You'd better come up with a way to put my mind at ease! Otherwise, you'll be dead right now!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly, looking down at Feng Xueting with an admiring gaze.

This woman was tall and slender, with a round and slim waist, high breasts, and long legs; she was a stunning beauty.

However, there are plenty of beautiful women in the cultivation world. Li Yunjing would not lower his guard just because the other party is good-looking, nor would he be tempted by her beauty.

In Li Yunjing's mind, I can play with you, pamper you, reward you, and give you enough benefits!

However, no woman can sway his will, much less try to bewitch him and make him a subservient subject!

Li Yunjing is a typical male chauvinist, absolutely domineering!

Feng Xueting's attempts to seduce and tempt him were utterly futile!
Seeing that Li Yunjing remained unmoved, Feng Xueting's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The cultivation world naturally has vicious methods of controlling people.

She herself knew a few techniques, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the second level, she had a promising future and was unwilling to be controlled by Li Yunjing.

Back then, being controlled by others was worse than death.

"Heh heh! I don't have time to waste with you. I'll just count to three, and if that doesn't put my mind at ease, you'll die right now!"

Li Yunjing gave a cold shout, his face threatening, but in his heart he thought, "After subduing this woman, hand her over to the Fu family and have Fu Chao use her to fabricate an accusation against Wei Henian. Then let's see how Wei Henian responds!"

Of course, Li Yunjing couldn't let this woman despair.

He pretended to be very interested in Feng Xueting, his eyes burning with desire. Even Feng Xueting, a young woman, found it hard to resist Li Yunjing's undisguised gaze.

When dealing with this woman, Li Yunjing revealed both his fierce and cruel side, as well as his lustful desire for her beauty.

It was to give Feng Xueting a glimmer of hope!

They felt that she still had a chance to turn her life around because of her beauty.

In reality, Li Yunjing remained calm and had little interest in this woman.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have a way, and I am willing to submit!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing shout "three," Feng Xueting felt a chill and hurriedly replied.

Judging from Li Yunjing's expression, this woman could tell that he was also a lecherous devil.

Perhaps if I sacrifice myself and compromise, I might still have a chance to escape.

At this moment, Feng Xueting thought that he had to keep Li Yunjing calm and make him believe that he could control himself.

Otherwise, if Li Yunjing kills them, it will truly be the end of it all, and there will be no hope of doubling their fortune.

At this point, the two harbored their own ulterior motives, engaging in a battle of wits and schemes against each other.

"Say!"

Li Yunjing asked calmly.

“I have a book of contracts from the Five Poisons Sect of the Southern Continent. As long as I leave a drop of my blood in the book, I will be controlled by the book’s owner, and my life and death will be in the master’s hands.”

With a soft sigh, Feng Xueting quickly spoke.

These words are true, but Feng Xueting concealed the drawbacks of the Book of Contracts, and he would not tell Li Yunjing that as long as one surpasses the other party by five realms or reaches the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, one can turn against the master and break free!

"Take it out! Let me see what kind of 'Book of Contracts' it is!"

Li Yunjing spoke coldly, his face expressionless.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was still wary, Feng Xueting had no choice but to slowly take out a scroll from the "storage bracelet" on Yu Hao's wrist.

This is not ordinary paper, but rather animal hide similar to parchment.

This "Book of Contracts" is covered with countless blood-red runes, exuding an eerie and ominous aura.

This is a method used by demonic cultivators to control others.

The orthodox Xuanmen sects naturally also have similar methods, such as puppetry, the scripture of salvation, the art of soul capture, and the art of possession.

However, these methods require a certain level of cultivation to execute.

Li Yunjing is still far from being able to cultivate.

Besides, even if he wanted to learn, he couldn't; he couldn't afford the price.

"Throw it over."

Li Yunjing glanced at it, confirmed that there was no problem, and continued.

"it is good!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's caution, Feng Xueting gave a wry smile. She really had no intention of plotting against Li Yunjing!
The gruesome death of her boss had terrified her, leaving her with no courage to fight to the death.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that while lying on the ground enduring excruciating pain, she would still be making seductive gestures to bewitch Li Yunjing.

"Snapped……"

Even so, when Feng Xueting threw out the "Book of Contracts," Li Yunjing did not catch it, but let it fall to the ground.

This scene left Feng Xueting speechless once again.

This kid is way too cautious!
Even a seasoned veteran like her couldn't do that!

Who could possibly outmaneuver Li Yunjing?
despair!

Utter despair!

If I'm truly controlled by the "Book of Contracts," will I ever be able to escape?

Would someone as cautious as her leave even the slightest flaw?

She was starting to doubt it; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator had lost confidence in the face of a terrifying enemy like Li Yunjing.

"Shh..."

With a flick of the blade of his "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword," Li Yunjing sent the "Book of Contracts" flying lightly into his palm, where it shone with a brilliant multicolored light.

"Ugh……"

Upon seeing this, Feng Xueting closed his eyes completely, unwilling to watch any longer.

The more I look, the more hopeless I feel!
Are you afraid that the "Book of Contracts" is coated with deadly poison?
At that moment, a thought struck Feng Xueting; it seemed like a good idea…

But when I thought about how I was about to lose my freedom, I put the idea aside.

What's the point of still resorting to these harmful methods now?
"Tch..." Li Yunjing scoffed, glancing at the man without letting his guard down. Who knows if you're just putting on a show of despair to mislead me?

It's too difficult to make Li Yunjing completely believe it!
Even with Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing only trusted her to a limited extent; he couldn't trust her completely.

Not to mention this woman.

"How does this thing work?"

Li Yunjing grasped the "Book of Contracts" and read the text on it. He then realized that it was a contract method for worshipping evil gods. The "Divine Firmament Jade Book" also recorded some principles of this kind of evil magic.

This kind of evil god could be a Golden Core Realm cultivator or an old monster in the Nascent Soul Realm within the demonic path.

Of course, they could also be some top-tier demons.

See from which side the power of the "Book of Contracts" originates.

This thing is not something that belongs to one person alone, but rather an evil object that can be refined by various top demonic forces.

Of course, important figures in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could also refine it, but the reputation of the orthodox Xuanmen sect must be respected, so naturally they would not easily pass on such things.

In contrast to demons and monsters, the orthodox sects of Xuanmen prefer to refine another type of scroll.

That's the divine possession technique!
These are the things that elders pass on to younger generations to protect their lives.

Within Buddhism, similar paintings and scrolls were also created.

Buddhist images are usually visualization diagrams.

Visualize Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and for those less powerful, Arhats, Dharma protectors, Vajra protectors, etc.

The uses of the items crafted by each faction can also reveal the differences between them.

According to the records in the "Divine Night Jade Book", Li Yunjing was not unaware of this!
However, Li Yunjing still wanted to ask Feng Xueting to see if this woman was an honest person!
“Fellow Daoist Li… no… Master, the ‘Book of Contracts’ does not need to be activated. As long as the user activates it with their essence blood, I can separate my essence blood and drip it onto it, thus establishing a connection with Master’s essence blood. With a thought from Master, you can control my life and death.”

Left with no other choice, Feng Xueting had to reveal what he knew.

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing was fairly satisfied with Feng Xueting's words. Although they were incomplete, the content was true and represented the correct way to use the "Book of Contracts."

Li Yunjing used his thumbnail to cut a gash on his ring finger, forcing out a drop of blood, which he flicked onto the "Book of Contracts." The "Book of Contracts" immediately changed, emitting a wisp of black smoke.

"Alright! Your turn!"

After confirming that everything was correct, Li Yunjing handed the "Contract Book" back to Feng Xueting.

For Li Yunjing now, only this evil thing from the "Five Poisons Sect" can deal with Feng Xueting.

"Can I not sign this? I promise I'll do as you say!"

At the last moment, Feng Xueting hesitated and wanted to make one last effort.

Her clothes slipped down a little further, revealing her fair and delicate body...

Although Feng Xueting knew the purpose of the so-called Book of Contracts and even that it had a backdoor, leaving behind her essence blood and having it controlled by Li Yunjing was not a good thing.

You must understand that this is the cultivation world. Many things can be done with a person's essence blood, whether it's locating a location, setting a curse, or anything else. For some extraordinary individuals, these are nothing special.

Feng Xueting has been in the cultivation world for over fifty years, and she truly doesn't want to be controlled by others!
Hesitation and indecisiveness are a true reflection of Feng Xueting's inner thoughts.

This was her last attempt to test the waters!
"Hmph! I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. It seems you want to keep your companion company on the road to the Yellow Springs!"

Li Yunjing's expression changed, and he roared angrily, making a move to kill the woman!

"Wait, Master, please don't! I agree!"

Feng Xueting was utterly humiliated. This fellow Daoist was too cruel. She had already sacrificed her beauty, yet he remained heartless. He was truly a ruthless man.

Seeing Feng Xueting yield, Li Yunjing stopped channeling his magic and began wielding the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword".

“Force out your own essence and drip it onto this ‘Book of Contracts’.”

Li Yunjing pointed the tip of his sword at the "Book of Contracts" on the ground and said coldly.

Obviously, this is the final condition and absolutely cannot be changed.

The "Book of Contracts" emitted a faint, dark light. When Feng Xueting looked at the "Book of Contracts," he felt as if his soul was being sucked into the evil paper before him.

Forcibly pulling his consciousness out of the "Book of Contracts," Feng Xueting looked up at Li Yunjing, only to see that the man's expression was indifferent, with no possibility of changing his mind.

Left with no other choice, Feng Xueting revealed a bitter smile of despair. He never expected to be defeated like this. Even ants try to survive, let alone humans.

She forced out a drop of blood essence, which fell onto the "Book of Contracts." After that drop of blood merged into the "Book of Contracts," it immediately fused together with a drop of blood essence from Li Yunjing.

The book shone brightly with dark light, and Feng Xueting's portrait appeared on the pages. Her age, cultivation level, proficient magic, and aptitude were all clearly displayed on the paper.

Li Yunjing took a closer look. Feng Xueting was 65 years old, at the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, with three elemental roots: Water, Wood, and Metal. His basic cultivation techniques were the Water Cloud Frost Technique and the Profound Awareness Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique...

That "Water Cloud Cold Ice Skill" looks like a combination of many common techniques.

Perhaps it was Feng Xueting who came up with it.

That "Mysterious Awakening Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique" seems quite good. I'll have Feng Xueting write it out when I have time, and I'll try it out with Xing'er and Yue'er!
The dozen or so spells that Feng Xueting knew were all quite ordinary, at most minor supernatural abilities, and none of them were true supernatural powers. Li Yunjing watched them once and then stopped watching.

Feng Xueting's aptitude and cultivation were average. The most effective way to improve his cultivation was through the dual cultivation technique. He relied on absorbing male cultivators' essence and plundering resources to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It can be said that Feng Xueting's entire life has been almost entirely deviant and unethical.

If one continues cultivating in this way, the highest one can achieve is the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and it will be very difficult to advance to the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This kind of inheritance is almost universal in the cultivation world.

Small sects and independent cultivators lack powerful lineages and cannot attain the Great Dao!

"He really is a poor, rogue cultivator!"

Li Yunjing sighed and put away the "Book of Contracts" and the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword".

Li Yunjing could already sense that as long as he controlled the "Book of Contracts" and tore it up, Feng Xueting would surely die.

Moreover, he and Feng Xueting had a mysterious connection; if he died, she would not survive either.

As long as I don't push him too hard and make Feng Xueting think about taking us both down with him.

This woman poses little threat to me.

"Very well, you're mine now! From now on, when we're alone, you can call me master!"

Now that he had Feng Xueting under control, Li Yunjing was no longer worried about this alluring young woman.

He stepped forward, his long, slender fingers pinching Feng Xueting's chin as he examined her face.

In this short while, Feng Xueting had rested enough to move her body with difficulty.

Ever since she dripped her blood essence, she felt an inseparable connection with the "Book of Contracts." In the darkness, her life and death were already controlled by the "Book of Contracts," and even if she wanted to turn against the person in front of her, she would find it difficult to do so!

This result terrified her; her life was completely over. Looking at the undisguised evil in Li Yunjing's eyes, Feng Xueting felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't know how to resist.

However, she was someone who had been working in the cultivation world for many years, and since she had already been controlled, she had no choice but to accept it.

"Xueting greets the master!"

He struggled to his feet and knelt at Li Yunjing's feet.

"Hehe, if you perform well, I will naturally give you a boost. Your three-elemental spiritual root aptitude is destined to have no future, but by joining me, you will have no problem advancing further in the future!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, "I can't let this subordinate feel hopeless about his future, otherwise he'll just be putting in the work without putting in any effort, and I'll be wasting a spot for nothing."

Moreover, this person set a trap to frame Wei Henian, and Feng Xueting still had to put in genuine effort.

"Yes, this servant will certainly obey Master's instructions!"

Controlled by the "Book of Contracts," Feng Xueting still retains her own consciousness, but deep down she knows she has a special connection with Li Yunjing, which makes her understand that if anything happens to this person, she will die immediately.

This situation naturally made Feng Xueting dare not resist Li Yunjing, and she even needed to try her best to please Li Yunjing in order to make herself more comfortable.

"Get up! Dispose of the bodies of these Thirteen Flying Eagles."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful body lying prostrate at his feet, Li Yunjing hooked Feng Xueting's chin with his toe, signaling her to stand up.

Since he had subordinates available, Li Yunjing naturally didn't need to take action himself.

"Yes, sir!"

Feng Xueting gave Li Yunjing a flirtatious smile and began cleaning up the battlefield, swaying her slender waist.

This battle covered an area of ​​over thirty miles. Feng Xueting was busy for two full hours before she returned at daybreak.
