He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

"come out!"

With a thought, Lin Shaoyu channeled his magic power and summoned the only low-grade magic treasure he possessed: the Mother-Child Soul Refining Banner. The black banner emerged from his storage bag at his waist like a streak of black light.

The black soul banner stood in the void, its entire body pitch black, gleaming with a purple light.

next moment.

One after another, ghostly figures surged out from within the banner, like a tidal wave of ghosts, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed directly towards Luo Wuji.

"kill!"

Clang!

The sound of swords rang out.

With a thought, Luo Wuji summoned a mid-grade magic weapon: the Copper Coin Sword, a magic weapon made from specially crafted copper coins. Its sword energy surged and tore through the layers of ghostly shadows on the spot.

when!

It struck Lin Shaoyu directly.

"!!!"

Luo Wuji's pupils contracted.

Because Lin Shaoyu was unharmed, a faint light emanated from his body, as if it might be extinguished at any moment. But even this faint light was as difficult to overcome as an insurmountable barrier.

Minor supernatural ability: The stingy miser.

Forming an "absolute defense" centered on the "self," it resists all negative effects and attacks. Luo Wuji's magic weapon, the "Copper Coin Sword," cannot harm Lin Shaoyu at all.

"What a miser! What a miser!"

Luo Wuji's face was extremely gloomy.

Within the realm of refining qi.

Supernatural powers are revered.

Although Luo Wuji's "Minor Supernatural Power: Borrowing Life Money" has a strange effect and seems to be unsolvable, it is not as good as Lin Shaoyu's "Minor Supernatural Power: Iron Rooster" in direct combat.

This is also the real reason why Luo Wuji, who had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining and possessed minor supernatural abilities, chose to back down immediately upon seeing Lin Shaoyu—because he couldn't win in a direct confrontation.

If it's not a direct confrontation, then it's a different story.

The "Iron Rooster" may seem to be able to defend against the effect of "Life-Borrowing Money," but as time goes by, the effect of "Life-Borrowing Money" will continue to intensify until even the "Iron Rooster" can't withstand it.

This is what is known as "interest on interest".

Therefore, "life-borrowing money" is more suitable for hiding behind the scenes and plotting against people. As long as you can't find the creditor and don't have the means to restrain this supernatural power, you will eventually die at the hands of "life-borrowing money" under the "compound interest".

Direct combat is not 'Borrowed Life Money''s' forte.

Lin Shaoyu also saw this point, which is why he dared to make a move against Luo Wuji at this time.

"ah!!!"

A scream rang out.

After several exchanges, Lin Shaoyu was certain that Luo Wuji could not break through the "Iron Rooster's" defense. He then used his supernatural powers to withstand several of Luo Wuji's attacks before charging straight at Luo Wuji.

Spirit-Slaying Sword Technique!

brush!

Lin Shaoyu unleashed a sword strike, a technique he had cultivated at the peak of his cultivation. It was already perfected, and now, as he unleashed it at the Qi Refining Realm, its power was even greater. The black sword energy severed Luo Wuji's left arm.

Blood splattered out.

fear!

Luo Wuji's face was filled with fear!

escape!

We must escape!

Luo Wuji didn't care about anything else. He used his escape technique to try to escape, but Lin Shaoyu also used his Blood Shadow Escape to chase after him.

The two sides clashed again.

"die!"

puff!

Lin Shaoyu seized the opportunity, withstood Luo Wuji's final counterattack, and then used the Spirit-Slaying Sword Technique to sever Luo Wuji's head. The body and head fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

The He Shi Bi jade fluctuated, and Lin Shaoyu clearly saw a crimson life force fly out from Luo Wuji's corpse and be absorbed by the He Shi Bi jade.

Originally, Luo Wuji would not have died, but Lin Shaoyu cut off his head, so Luo Wuji died. In this way, Luo Wuji's fate was changed, and the "He Shi Bi" was able to obtain the other party's fate.

"Red Fate."

Lin Shaoyu glanced at it, and corresponding information about the "He Shi Bi" appeared in his mind.

Destiny!

The fate of mortals is 'gray'.

A cultivator at the Qi Refining stage has a fate of 'white'.

Those who cultivate Qi but lack supernatural powers have a fate of "black".

The minor supernatural being's destiny is 'red'.

One red destiny equals ten black destiny equals one hundred white destiny equals one thousand gray destiny.

"Finally, he's dead."

Lin Shaoyu looked down at the corpse on the ground, a relaxed smile on his face. The 'gold ingot' pattern in his palm was rapidly fading. "Not easy!"

To know.

Lin Shaoyu lived in fear for over a month because of this "life-saving money." If it weren't for the appearance of the "He Shi Bi," he would probably have died at Luo Wuji's hands.

"Oh, right."

Lin Shaoyu remembered something: when he was "peeping into fate" before, he saw Luo Wuji kneeling in front of a mysterious person, seemingly being assigned some kind of mission.

Thinking about this, Lin Shaoyu became somewhat interested.

"Peeping into fate."

With a thought, Lin Shaoyu consumed ten more strands of white life force to activate the life-seeking ability of the He Shi Bi jade, which landed on Luo Wuji's corpse, and a series of images appeared before his eyes.

After a while, the effect of the life-gazing technique ended, and Lin Shaoyu had almost seen the entire life of Luo Wuji.

"He's actually a highly skilled individual."

Lin Shaoyu fell into deep thought.

By observing Luo Wuji's past through the "Demonic Observation" technique, it was found that Luo Wuji had no contact or connection with the He Shi Bi jade, and the same was true for that special secret realm.

As for that mysterious person...

The other party was a master of great supernatural powers who had mastered a great supernatural technique. Luo Wuji did not know the other party's true identity, but the other party taught Luo Wuji the "minor supernatural technique: life-borrowing money". Ten years ago, the other party sent him to Sunset City and made him the steward of Sunset Money House.

Furthermore, the reason why Luo Wuji was sent to Sunset City seems to be related to the "Linglong Secret Realm," and within the "Linglong Secret Realm," there is information about a "Great Divine Power Technique."

"The Exquisite Secret Realm, a Great Divine Power Technique?"

Lin Shaoyu pondered for a moment, "The origin of the He Shi Bi jade is shrouded in mystery. I previously thought that my being afflicted with the 'Life-Borrowing Money' was related to the He Shi Bi jade, but now it seems I was overthinking it."

"As for great supernatural powers."

A burning desire ignited in Lin Shaoyu's eyes. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. If he really had the chance to obtain the Great Divine Power Technique, Lin Shaoyu would definitely not let it go.

To know.

If minor supernatural powers are already so domineering and powerful, then major supernatural powers that surpass them are unimaginable. They are enough to completely crush minor supernatural powers, as can be seen from Luo Wuji's awe of that mysterious person.

The eighth and ninth level true skills do not contain Daoist rhyme, so it is impossible to cultivate minor supernatural abilities, and the probability of even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is only 10%.

The true skills from the seventh to the fifth level contain Daoist principles and require the combination of three compatible true skills to cultivate a minor supernatural power, which can increase the probability of successfully establishing a foundation to 20%.

The third and fourth-tier true skills are even more extraordinary. They are rich in Daoist charm and subtly align with destiny. They require six compatible true skills to be combined to cultivate a great divine power, which can increase the probability of successfully establishing a foundation to 30%, close to one-third, which is already very high.

"The matter of the Great Divine Power Technique is not urgent, and we must not act rashly. I have only heard that the 'Exquisite Secret Realm' will open, but there is no specific time. Moreover, if it does open, it will definitely be a fierce battle."

Lin Shaoyu pondered to himself, "With my current strength, I've only mastered one minor supernatural power. If I were to get involved, I'd just be cannon fodder."

Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Shaoyu began searching Luo Wuji's corpse.
