I am doing evil in the collapsed world

Although his shoes were not dirty, Xia still rubbed them on the cement floor and only breathed a sigh of relief when no water flowed down.

"A cultivator who has gone astray, what's going on in this world? Isn't it only possible for people who have reached the first level or above to go astray? He's only at the third level of Qi Refining and he's already gone astray."

Where was her master? Where was her family? No one came to her aid, and they just left her here to rot?

Not to mention the righteous path, even the evil path would not abandon its disciple like this. Only those evil paths who do whatever they want would do such a thing.

Xia Nian pointed his finger in front of his chest, changed two gestures, and recited a heart-clearing spell.

The pungent smell of alcohol in the air dissipated instantly, and a cool smell covered the entire alley.

11 mei: Why are you here?

It seems that this great cultivator in the urban village may not be easy to communicate with.

The cultivators in his territory have gone insane, and it seems they have been insane for half a month, yet they are just left like that.

The great cultivator who could influence the spiritual energy of an urban village was at least at the same level as he was in the Heavenly Demon Realm, with the third level of cultivation.

Although this level of cultivation is not very high in the world of cultivation, it is impossible not to use spiritual energy to explore one's own territory for half a month. Whenever one finds someone who has gone astray, if it is one of his own, he will see if he can save him. If he cannot save him, he will waste his cultivation and find a few menial disciples to help take care of him, so as to avoid causing trouble outside.

If he is from outside, then contact his master. If you cannot contact him within half a month, kill him, or you can kill him directly.

This careless and unconcerned look made Xia feel cold, ruthless indifference.

Xia bit his fingertips and drew a formation in the air. The woman's body turned into starlight along with the cool fragrance and disappeared in the world, as if she had never appeared.

A pure soul merged into his body, which was broken into pieces by the Soul-Breaking Body Training Technique and then merged into his body.

The third level of Qi refining.

His soul cultivation has reached the peak of the third level, but he is unable to recover because his body is too weak. As long as his body strength catches up, he can recover by collecting spiritual energy in the air. At the third level of Qi Refining, Xia's consciousness expanded again.

If it is only used for detection, the third level of Qi Refining is enough to detect cultivators within a radius of ten kilometers, although it can only simply detect the status and activities of the cultivators.

Xia turned around and prepared to leave, disappointed with modern indifference.

He did not restrict the expansion of his spiritual consciousness. Xia originally wanted to see if there were any cultivators who noticed him because of this possessed person, but he unexpectedly discovered several young cultivators in the Qi training stage. All of them were slowly wandering in the depths of the alley, like wandering ghosts.

"Has the number of people possessed by demons in this city reached this level?"

Xia's expression stiffened and he frowned slightly. Modern cultivation gave him a feeling that rituals and music were collapsing.

But it must be said that the souls provided by those monks who have gone astray are purer than those of ordinary people.

It’s a pity that he hasn’t been able to create the Bloodthirsty Sword yet. However, even if he had the Bloodthirsty Sword, Xia felt that those who were possessed might not have blood in their bodies.

Xia eliminated twelve people who had gone astray in one night, and his cultivation level returned to the fifth level of Qi training.

After returning home and meditating for two hours, Xia finally opened his eyes at six o'clock in the morning.

Although it’s okay not to go to school, guys like Kevin who have reached the second level of strength even without practicing are all in school, so there’s no reason for him to stay at home.

Moreover, he was not trying to improve his realm, but to restore his strength. There was no need for him to practice on his own. He would not become stronger anyway. It was enough to meditate normally to restore the "spiritual energy" in his body.

Although the peak of the third transformation is the top of the lower level in the Demon Realm, it is still the lower level. The master said that when a cultivator with ordinary talent like himself reaches the third transformation level, he can no longer rely on hard work and seclusion to advance, but on refining his mind in the world.

First train your mind and then practice Taoism, and after reaching the fourth level, you can become the boss of a small city or a small sect in the demon world.

While my strength has not yet recovered, I will treat this school as a chance to temper my mind in this worldly world.

Xia picked up his schoolbag and headed for school.

When he arrived at school and put his schoolbag on the desk, Xia felt that his memory was pretty good and he still knew where his class and desk were.

He was not the first person to arrive at the school, but it was a little after six in the morning and there were indeed not many people in the school. After being active all night, Xia's stomach growled and he remembered that he had not had breakfast.

Alas, I have spent too long in the Demon Realm. At first, I took the fasting pills, and later I relied on absorbing spiritual energy to maintain my physical condition. Xia ate just to satisfy his appetite.

But with my current strength, I really can't resist hunger without eating something. This little brat is eating me out of money, not to mention that I have been active all night and only had dinner.

Xia went downstairs and bought two loaves of bread and two bottles of milk, then sat by the flower bed in the school and ate them. The flower bed he chose was very remote, with the windows of the teachers' building in front of it, and usually no students would hang out here.

Quiet campus life, take a bite of bread, it’s sweet and tastes okay.

"Xia classmate? Why are you here?"

The window on the first floor of the teachers' building was open. Mei was holding a toothbrush and a cup and was about to rinse her mouth when she saw Xia sitting by the flower bed in front of her and felt numb.

Xia: ".......Hello, Mei."

After taking another bite of bread, Xia drank a sip of milk with a straw, his expression indifferent, as if he just saw a classmate and said hello.

Mei, who was wearing pajamas, blushed. "Hello, classmate Xia, how come you are here?"

Mei just started living on campus a few days ago. Because she published a paper last month that caused a big sensation, the school felt it was too dangerous for Mei to live off campus, so they gave her a room on the first floor of the teachers' building and gave her the title of teacher's assistant.

I just want Mei to be able to ask the teacher for leave whenever she wants to do research at school.

In fact, the danger outside the school does not seem very real. The main reason is that the school does not want Mei, a talented student, to be poached by other schools.

Letting Mei live on campus also allows her to go to the school laboratory anytime she wants to do research.

Xia: "I'm having breakfast here."

What's the problem? Xia didn't think there was anything strange about the way he ate breakfast. It didn't seem like he had seen anything shameful.

Xia lowered his head and checked his body. There was nothing dirty on it. His clothes were clean and the area next to the flower bed had also been wiped clean.

Mei then realized that she had not rinsed her mouth, so she quickly rinsed her mouth, spit out the foam in her mouth, and wiped her face with a towel.

"No, there's nothing strange about you. It's just a little after six o'clock. Are you coming to school so early?"

Mei felt like she was questioning something, but she swore that she definitely didn't have that kind of thought, it was just that her words sounded more like it.

"You're in school too."

Aren't you also in school? Although it's a little early to come to school after six o'clock, it's not particularly strange. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, you should be the type of person whose parents have passed away within a few days, so it's normal for your personality and activities to suddenly change.

"I live in the teachers' building because I live on campus. This room is mine."

Although the window was open, Mei still felt uncomfortable with the conversation between one in the room and the other outside, as if she was being impolite.

12 Kevin: I can’t help it, it’s too charming.

Mei felt that she should invite Xia into the room to chat, but because she was still in her pajamas, she felt even more uncomfortable inviting him in.

Mei was a little confused, but Xia didn't feel anything as she sat by the flower bed, eating bread and drinking milk.

Isn't going to school the purpose of enjoying youth? But Xia feels very bored.

"I remember Qianyu Academy doesn't allow students to live on campus."

Even though they are international students, they can only live outside. Xia has a house bought by his parents, but Kevin and Su both rent houses with the help of the school.

"Genius always has some small privileges."

Geniuses always have some small privileges. Mei straightened her back and felt a little proud, but her tone of voice was extremely humble, a unique humility of the Chinese people.

Xia finished the last bite of bread and nodded, "Then I'll be leaving. See you in class at the party."

Mei: "It's still a bit cold outside, do you want to come sit in my room?"

After hesitating for a long time, Mei finally decided to invite Xia into the room to chat. Winter had just passed and spring had just begun. Since most of the students had not arrived yet, Xia could only sit outside bored when he returned to the classroom.

Mei felt that Xia seemed a little different from before. Considering that Xia had asked for leave, and as an international student, and one of the only three international students from Shenzhou in Qianyu College, Mei felt that she might be able to take care of Xia a little.

Xia: "No need, I just want to walk around the school."

When he returned to school, his vague memories gradually became clearer. Xia Ben's memory of campus life was quite good, but as his memories of campus life became clearer, he felt that the good memories of campus life were only a few fragments, and most of the time was boring.

Xia walked on the school path with his hands in his pockets, as if he had taken every step clearly before.

But in fact, Xia knew that when he was in school, he went to and from school every day and never did anything extra.

Other people's youth is either about working hard and being happy with good brothers, or about having a lasting relationship and being touched and happy.

But Xia, like most people, has nothing.

This world is really strange, and so is the Demonic World. It seems that rationality only exists in fantasy, Xia thought.

Without exception, the possessed people Xia met in the urban village all looked very ordinary. Every man and woman seemed to be struggling hard for a living, and did not look like cultivators at all.

Moreover, their soul strength is not high, just like ordinary people, except that they are purer than ordinary people. That's all.

Their strength seemed to be attached to their bodies, which Xia didn't understand.

Factory workers, professional office workers, and students are just like ordinary people among the masses. If they are deliberately hiding, then Xia feels that their methods of hiding their identities are too professional.

Kevin was the same. He looked exactly like a student of the same age. If Xia hadn't sensed his strength while he was drinking, he might never have discovered his true strength in his entire life.

Those cultivators who are either weak or slightly powerful are hiding in this world like ordinary people, which makes Xia feel urgent about his own survival situation.

This is also the reason why he comes to school normally.

"Yodou! Hey~ Xia, good morning."

He walked around the campus, occasionally stopping to observe the campus. Before he knew it, it was eight o'clock. A hand was placed on his shoulder, and then a girl's voice with a light voice came from behind him.

Even without turning around, Xia knew who was behind him. After all, with Xia's soul power and perception, no one could get behind him and put their hands on his shoulders without his knowledge, unless they were cultivators with a cultivation level higher than the third level.

"Good morning."

Xia turned around and said calmly.

"When did you come? I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect you to be already in school."

Yuno put down her hand, walked to Xia's side, and followed his pace as they strolled around the campus.

"Looking for something else? Or just taking a walk? There's not much to see in the school, but if you come early in the morning, you can go to the theater to watch a movie. The theater is open in the morning."

Xia: "I'm just walking around, taking a stroll, and looking around the school."

"What's so good about school? Don't you get tired of it if you come here every day and look at it?"

When they were students, countless boys dreamed of blowing up the school when they grew up. Even Xia was no exception. But when he really grew up, when he saw the school, those boring times no longer came to his mind. All he had were those silly things he did with his good brothers in school, and he was happy and joyful.

"Not too bad. How's your father?"

"It's okay. The doctor said the condition hasn't worsened. Luckily, my family still has some money. Otherwise, I don't know how long I could have stayed in the hospital like this."

Yuno pointed upstairs, "I'm going to put my bag upstairs and come down to see you later. Did you have breakfast? I brought some extra lunch boxes."

Since both parents are dead, there should be no one to make lunch for Xia. Yuno thought so, so she brought some extra.

"I've already eaten, thank you."

"Then I'll give you half of the lunchbox at noon. I made a little too much."

"No, I'll buy it outside."

"Buy it tomorrow and eat what I cook today, otherwise it will be wasted."

Xia nodded and did not refuse again.

Yuno went upstairs.

It was past eight o'clock and students began to arrive at school one after another. The morning classes passed peacefully. Xia and Su were in the same class, while Kevin and Mei were in two other classes.

There was no chance to chat all morning. It was only during the lunch break that Xia, Su and Kevin sat together.

Yuno walked towards them with a lunch box.

Kevin sighed in distress. There was nothing he could do. He was too charming. Every day, not only did girls send him love letters or snacks, but also lunch boxes.

Although Kevin kept refusing, he still felt a little distressed by being treated like this every day.

Yuno walked up to the three of them, and Kevin was about to say no, but he saw Yuno just bypass him and put the lunch box in Xia's hand.

“Eat it with gratitude.”

After saying that, Yuno left. Since there was no best friend watching her, she ignored Kevin.

Kevin: "...wasn't it given to me?"

Su: "Maybe your face is not big enough. If your face is bigger, I will give it to you."

Xia opened the lunch box and found it was more sumptuous than what Su made himself.

Kevin: "There's no reason, Xia, what the hell are you talking about? Aren't you and Yuno unfamiliar with each other?"

When I went to see Yuno's father before, I didn't even know his name, so how come he's bringing you a lunch box now?
