"Huh? You mean four years ago? And these people all lost their blood and died very tragically? This sounds a little interesting." Xu Tian narrowed his eyes and was even more certain.

If he remembered correctly, Bo Yangzi's cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds four years ago.

Obviously, there must be a connection between the rapid improvement in cultivation and the disappearance of the three-year-old children!

Moreover, such a tragic death must have been done by the Forging Demon.

He had once heard that many Forging Demons' cultivation techniques were to strengthen themselves by absorbing the flesh and blood of infants and even other cultivators.

Presumably, this Forging Demon used the same method!

"Anyway, just be careful, guests. Don't go out in the middle of the night unless you have something important to do! If… there are no other instructions, I'll take my leave." The teahouse waiter sighed and left.

Xu Tian and Ying Zhuxia were left sitting in front of the window eating. Ying Zhuxia was still young. After hearing such a story, she was more or less a little afraid. Ying Zhuxia gently leaned towards Xu Tian and said with a worried expression, "Master, will Ancient Pine City be dangerous?"

"Don't worry. As long as Master is around, no matter how impudent this Forging Demon is, he won't be my match. Don't worry." Xu Tian's tone was calm, as if he didn't take this Forging Demon seriously at all.

Xu Tian had tested the strength of this aura just now. The other party's ability would not exceed the peak of the Illuminant Stage at most. Moreover, Xu Tian's ability was already above the Illuminant Stage.

If he were to encounter one, it would be a suitable chance for him to kill a demon. This could be considered as contributing to the world.

Although the other party's aura was very weak, his ability to hide was very deep. Even with Xu Tian's current ability, he could not detect it. If he rashly attacked, it was very likely that he would scare the other party away and alert the enemy!

The only thing Xu Tian could confirm now was that this aura came from the Bo Residence. It was very likely to be related to Bo Yangzi!

As such, Xu Tian was really looking forward to tomorrow's marriage discussion at the Bo Residence.

At the same time, in a wide room in the Bo Residence, a young man of seventeen or eighteen was soaking in a wooden bucket.

The wooden barrel was filled with fresh blood, and its stench was really strong!

As the young man circulated his cultivation skills, the blood attracted a huge amount of spiritual energy that surged into the young man's head.

The young man's cultivation level kept rising. He was already at the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage and was about to break through.

The mastermind behind all of this was the phantom behind him. The phantom suddenly sensed something and opened its eyes. "Will such a cultivator come to Ancient Pine City?"

"Master, what cultivator are you talking about?" The young man stood up from the wooden barrel and circulated his energy to recover.

His name was Bo Yangzi, and he was the heir of the Bo family. His father was the current head of the Bo family, and the black shadow behind him was his master—Yanba Kuili!

"I can't believe a cultivator in the Illuminant Stage can come to this small Ancient Pine City." Yanba Kuili snorted and smiled.

In the past, his highest cultivation level had reached the Nascent Soul Stage. He had been unstoppable for his entire life. If not for the righteous cultivators working together to eliminate him, he would still be living a carefree life.

However, he was only left with his soul now, and the ability he could use was only about the same as the Illuminant Stage.

"Huh? An Illuminant Stage cultivator! Isn't that even more powerful than my father?" Bo Yangzi's eyes widened in surprise.

The highest combat power in their small Ancient Pine City was the Bo family's patriarch, Bo Dong. He had a cultivation level at the peak of the Nascent Breath Stage.

Therefore, when Bo Yangzi heard that a cultivator at the Illuminant Stage had come, he was more or less surprised.

"So what if it is? Anyway, I'm here. You don't have to worry. Even if he attacks, I have the ability to protect you!"

"Now, you just need to sell the medicinal pills that I've taught you to refine. Wait until you're ready for the big market in a few days!"

Yanba Kuili's eyes were cold, as if everything was within his calculations.

An Illuminant Stage cultivator is worth nothing at all. Back then, he was in the Nascent Soul Stage. If not for the fact that his body had been destroyed and he had come to this barren Lingzhou to seek refuge, Yanba Kuili would have long gathered materials to reconstruct his body!

However, he could not be anxious now. He could only slowly nurture this disciple of his. and take his time to make decisions.

"Yes, Master!" Bo Yangzi retracted his heart and rubbed the ring in his hand before turning his attention to the medicinal pill in front of him.

Ever since Bo Yangzi discovered the secret of the black stone in his hand when he was 14 years old, he had a magical experience.

Now, his master, Yanba Kuili, had even taught him how to refine pills. Bo Yangzi felt that as long as he waited for the right time, he could definitely become the overlord of the Ling Continent in the future and step into the path of immortality. Then, he would also reach that supreme peak!

When he woke up the next day, Xu Tian called his disciple over and prepared to go to the Bo family to settle some business. He wanted to break off the engagement for Ying Zhuxia.

When they were walking on the street, there were indeed more people in the morning than last night. Many itinerant cultivators in the mortal world had also gone out to do things at this time.

Xu Tian and Ying Zhuxia passed through the streets and arrived at a slightly more prosperous place.

At this moment, in a place called the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, a group of people had gathered at the entrance. Among this group of people, there was an aura that Xu Tian felt was very familiar!

"There's a demonic aura!" Xu Tian narrowed his eyes and immediately sensed something amiss. Originally, this demonic aura was partially hidden yesterday.

Now, this demonic aura was right beside him!

Interesting. He wanted to see where this demonic aura came from. Immediately after, Xu Tian followed the crowd and saw that it was a person dressed in black gauze! Wasn't dressing like this even more suspicious?

"That's right. It came from him. Could it be that he's Bo Yangzi and the one behind him is the demonic cultivator?" Xu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped in his tracks to carefully size up the other party.

At this moment, the mysterious person in the black veil was holding a bottle of medicine at the entrance of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, wanting to sell it to them.

The person in charge of the Heavenly Treasure Tower's appraisal was an old man in the Nascent Breath Stage.

The old man held the pill and observed it for a long time. He even took out some of the ingredients and analyzed them in detail.
