Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyelids drooping, concealing the sharp glint in his gaze, "It seems that Qin Yi indeed has a problem."
"So what do we do? Should we?" Ning Tian's frivolous gaze instantly turned cold, gesturing a cut-throat motion with his hand.
Qin Yi waved his hand, "Do you think Qin Yi is an evil person?"
Ning Tian shook his head, "From the interactions over the past two days and his perseverance in ascending the Golden Ladder, he doesn't seem like an evil person."
"But the occasional evil aura in his eyes is terrifying even to me. This kid is not simple."
Qin Mu sighed, "Let's ask first, maybe he himself doesn't even know. If he really is an evil person, then he's been disguising and deceiving us these past few days. Such a person absolutely cannot be kept. In the future, he will definitely become a big problem."
Ning Tian nodded slightly.
...
...
In the evening, Qin Yi was chatting with Ning Tian.
"Old Ning, where's Old Qin?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
"Back mountain."
"Oh."
Ning Tian laughed, "Come on, I'll take you to see."
"See what?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Ning Tian, without allowing any objection, pulled Qin Yi towards the back mountain.
On a clearing at the back mountain, there was a huge stone platform, surrounded by swirling purple light, forming a strange and splendid pattern.
Qin Mu was seated cross-legged on the stone platform, the ground pattern flickering with brilliance, wisps of purple light poured into Qin Mu, being absorbed by him.
"Old Qin is cultivating?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
"It's Body Condensation," Ning Tian replied.
Qin Yi was surprised, "What does that mean?"
"We two are just two condensed Divine Thoughts, this is a Body Condensing Array, like charging, requiring us to stay here regularly, otherwise, we'll dissipate."
"On this stone platform is our Lifebound Essence Blood, which is the foundation of our humanoid form. Whether the array on the stone platform is destroyed or our Lifebound Essence Blood disappears, both of us will turn to dust."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "So the two of you are made of blood."
Ning Tian's mouth twitched, "That's Emperor Blood, capable of destroying stars. Even though we are formed from Divine Thoughts, without this Heart Essence Blood, we wouldn't possess even one percent of our original strength."
Qin Yi gaped, surprised, "A drop can destroy stars? Sounds quite daunting."
"Kid, you don't know shit. It's not easy for Old Qin and me to reach this stage, and we haven't condensed much Heart Essence Blood. Let me put it this way, if you obtain our Heart Essence Blood, your Cultivation will increase exponentially, at least breaking through to the Divine Separation Stage instantly."
Qin Yi was shocked, "Really? That powerful?"
"The Heart Essence Blood from the Emperor Realm is the most precious treasure in this world, incomparable to anything else," Ning Tian said, his eyes flickering slightly, glancing at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's eyes burned with desire, the Emperor Realm Essence Blood, which could let him break through to the Divine Separation Stage instantly, was extremely tempting.
"Old Ning, you see, we're all buddies. How about giving me a few drops of your Heart Essence Blood? Once I refine my own, I'll return it to you."
Ning Tian pouted, "You think it's money that you can borrow and return? A few drops, you're dreaming."
"If I give you this Essence Blood, Old Qin and I would vanish into thin air. Who will bully you then in the coming days?"
Qin Yi: "…"
"Haha, you make a damn good point."
"Alright, let's go. Don't disturb Old Qin."
Qin Yi looked longingly a few times before leaving with Ning Tian.
They came back, had some drinks, and were bickering when Qin Mu returned.
"Qin Yi, go cultivate quickly, you don't have much time left."
Qin Yi nodded, went to the lakeside alone, sat down, and began cultivating his Divine Thought.
...
...
At midnight, everything was silent.
Qin Yi, who was cultivating, quietly opened a slit of his eyes; Qin Mu and Ning Tian should both be asleep.
He stealthily looked around and then got up and sneaked towards the back mountain.
Arriving at the back mountain, the Body Condensing Array was still there, glowing with bright purple light in the dark night.
Two drops of blood with a golden aura hovered above the pattern, flashing with red light, splendid and dazzling.
Qin Yi tiptoed onto the stone platform.
He suddenly made a noise of surprise, this Body Condensing Array surprisingly had no offensive power.
These two are too careless, aren't they?
Qin Yi approached the two floating Essence Blood, and as he got close, he felt a chill all over. The area around the two Essence Blood had trap attacks arranged.
"No wonder there's no Killing Array on the stone platform; turns out the traps are around the Essence Blood," Qin Yi muttered a few sentences, curiously circling around the Essence Blood.
"There's nothing special about this Emperor Realm expert's Essence Blood, it's almost like menstrual blood."
In the dark, Qin Mu and Ning Tian's mouths twitched heavily a few times.
Since Qin Yi had gotten up to go to the back mountain, the two had been following behind him.
Qin Yi's Divine Thought could now cover a hundred meters around, but Qin Mu and Ning Tian were less than ten meters away from him, using an Array to conceal their form and aura, making Qin Yi completely unaware.
Qin Yi gazed longingly at the two drops of red-glowing Essence Blood, just one drop could make him break through to the Divine Separation Stage. For a Qi Refiner eager to break through in power, the temptation was fatal.
Qin Yi's eyes were obsessed, unconsciously reaching out towards the Essence Blood.
In the dark, Qin Mu and Ning Tian's faces were icy cold, with killing intent gathering in their eyes, but more so disappointment.
Suddenly, there was a smack sound.
The two of them were slightly startled, exchanging a glance.
Qin Yi raised his right hand and slapped the back of his left hand reaching for the Essence Blood.
Then, he held his left hand up to his face, scolding, "Why are you so greedy? Can't you control yourself? Do you believe I'll cut you off? Cry, cry my ass. It was you who reached out, what does it have to do with me?"
He then held up his right hand, first nodding in satisfaction, then praising, "Still, you're the more sensible one. Look at you, left hand this bastard actually wants to steal someone's Essence Blood, that's too low, right?"
The right hand's fingers curled a few times, as if nodding.
"Hmm, it seems you agree with me. Indeed, great minds think alike."
Saying this, he then raised his left hand, "Did you hear what I said? As a hand, have some conscience. Learn more from the right hand. Look at it, it's the one that holds weapons, fights, carries stuff, even helps me with my physiological needs. Has it ever claimed credit?"
"And look at you, not only stupid but less dexterous than the right hand. The key thing is you want to steal. Isn't that making me, a righteous man, make a mistake? Old Qin and Old Ning are so good to me, if this Essence Blood was stolen, they'd disappear, do you know how serious that is?"
The left hand's fingers curled a few times, as if nodding.
"Hmm, it's good to know the error. Death sentence can be pardoned, but a live punishment is inevitable. Three slaps on the wrist as a lesson."
Saying so, he raised his right hand and slapped it three times on the back of his left hand.
In the dark, Qin Mu and Ning Tian looked at each other, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes... Qin Yi was not an evil person; he was clearly just out of his mind.
