Chapter 53: First Time Killing

After hearing about the male cultivator's experience, Yun Shang felt a little emotional. It was indeed fraught with dangers when exploring the caves of those predecessors. Fortunately, there were no souls or the like at the bottom of the lake in the Linglong Secret Realm.

Possession, after a cultivator's body is damaged, as long as the soul is not destroyed, it can find a new body to possess, just like having a second life, a bit like the time travel in the novel, the body is still the original, but the soul has changed. However, possession is not something that can be done whenever you want. If discovered by other cultivators, they can be killed. It can be said that cultivators are still very opposed to possession.

"I got this from the cave of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The space inside is very large, but I haven't had time to try it out yet." He then handed Yun Shang a thumb-sized gourd.

Yun Shang looked at the gourd in her hand. If the space inside was large enough, then this gourd was very rare. A Qiankun pot like this usually had a space array engraved inside. In today's cultivation world, it was impossible to find an array master who could set up a space array. Seeing that Yun Shang didn't speak, the middle-aged male cultivator continued.

"This gourd not only has a large internal space, but is also impervious to water and fire. Even if you put poison in it, it won't be corroded."

It can hold venom, which is a good dish.

"How did you know you could pack venom?"

"This gourd was originally filled with poison. I accidentally poured it out and found that there is no poison in it now."

"Well, this is the Yishen Pill. Give it to your daughter." Yun Shang handed the jade bottle containing the Yishen Pill to the middle-aged male cultivator.

"Thank you, my friend. If I hadn't met you, my daughter might have been stuck like this forever."

"It's just a fair exchange between you and me."

But it can be said that this little girl was lucky. She happened to meet her, and she happened to have the elixir to repair her consciousness. Otherwise, she would become stupid after a while. Yun Shang was also very happy to get a gourd with a lot of secrets.

After leaving the father and daughter, Yun Shang continued to wander around the market, bought some uncommon refining materials, and then left.

After that, she walked straight to the city gate. After leaving Yunshui City, she planned to go to the direction Beiyuan City, the closest city to the mortal world.

Yun Shang mostly took the main road along the way, thinking: it is relatively safer. However, nothing is absolute. Sure enough, when passing by a small village, she was stopped.

Looking at the three people blocking her way, one in the early stage of foundation building and two in the middle stage of foundation building, it took Yun Shang a while to realize that she seemed to be being robbed.

"What do you mean by blocking my way?" Yun Shang tried her best to appear indifferent.

"What do you mean? Hand over your storage bag, and we may spare your life." One of the male cultivators said

"How could I possibly give you my storage bag?" Yun Shang replied immediately.

"Don't refuse my toast and then drink a forfeit. If you don't hand over the storage bag, I will kill you immediately." The male cultivator said fiercely.

"Don't do that, big brother. She's pretty. Let her entertain us first before you kill her." The male cultivator next to him said, giving Yun Shang a lewd smile.

It's really enough. Yun Shang now understands how much the sixth son of the Du family hates those monks who robbed them. She almost wants to kill them. If she thought killing was a bit too much before, now she thinks killing them is serving the people, so as to prevent them from harming others.

Seeing that Yun Shang had no intention of handing over the storage bag, the three male cultivators attacked Yun Shang directly. Humph, if a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?

She used her magic spells and continuously utilized the surrounding trees to attack the three male cultivators. Pieces of leaves flew towards them like sharp blades.

The three male cultivators didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Yun Shang was only in the middle stage of foundation building. However, after fighting for a while, they gradually realized that Yun Shang was difficult to deal with, and her spiritual energy seemed to be endless. Therefore, in the subsequent fight, their attack power became more fierce. At this time, Yun Shang sacrificed the Hanyue Sword and constantly attacking them.

After a while, the three male cultivators had wounds of varying sizes. As time passed, the three male cultivators felt that their spiritual power was running out, and then they realized that Yun Shang was very powerful.

Finally, Yun Shang commanded the Hanyue Sword to knock the three people away. After they fell to the ground, they spit out blood. Their spiritual energy was exhausted and their faces turned very pale.

"Fellow Daoist, we were wrong. Please show mercy." said a male cultivator.

"Let's see if you dare to rob again." Yun Shang said.

"No, we won't rob again. Please spare us this time." Another male cultivator also said.

"Yes, yes, we will never do that again."

"I'll spare you this time. Take out your storage bags." Yun Shang said.

"Okay, okay, let's do it." Just as the male cultivator handed over the storage bag, Yun Shang suddenly felt that her spiritual power seemed to solidify. In an instant, she knew that they had tricked her.

"Haha, you're quite good at fighting," a male cultivator used his spiritual power to knock Yun Shang aside.

"You still want my storage bag?" He gave her another spiritual power. Yun Shang flew in another direction and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Okay, third brother, kill her, take her storage bag, and leave quickly." said a male cultivator.

"Wait a minute, it would be a shame to kill him directly, let me play with her for a while." Watching the male cultivator walking towards her, Yun Shang felt that she was simply stupid. Now she was panicking. Without spiritual power, she couldn't take out the things in the storage bracelet and storage bag. What should she do? After she got through this hurdle, she swore that she would never be kind again.

Soon, the male cultivator came to Yun Shang's side, took away her storage bag, the storage bracelet was invisible, and no one could see it. He grabbed her hair and touched Yun Shang's face with his hands. "You look really good. I can't bear to kill you." He began to undress Yun Shang.

Yun Shang felt that her blood was boiling, she was so disgusted, she attacked with spiritual consciousness with instinct.

The two male cultivators who were originally healing on the side did not expect that she could hurt their third brother even without any spiritual power.

"Bitch, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you." 

"Okay, third brother, don't waste time. If you wait any longer, other cultivators might come over. Just kill them," a male cultivator said as he launched a fatal attack on Yun Shang. The powerful recoil made Yun Shang retreat quickly.

Just as the male cultivator launched a second attack, he suddenly fell to the ground. The other two male cultivators didn't know what was going on and thought he might be injured. Then another male cultivator attacked Yun Shang, but that male cultivator also fell to the ground. At this time, the male cultivator who teased Yun Shang realized that something was wrong. He looked at Yun Shang and said, "What did you do to my brother?"

"Do you want to know? Then you try it." Yun Shang stared at the male cultivator and said.

"No, no, let me go, I will never again…" The male cultivator fell down before he could finish his words.

Seeing the male cultivator fall to the ground, Yun Shang also sat on the ground. At the critical moment, Yun Shang launched a spiritual attack. Now the three male cultivators are probably idiots.

After collecting their storage bags, Yun Shang look at them. This is the first time Yun Shang experience being taken advantage of because of her kindness. Is it what her master said that human's heart are hard to guard against?

Fortunately she was practicing "Divine Soul Art" that make her spiritual consciousness the same as middle-stage Jindan, that's why she can alive after being tricked by them. But what if it's other female cultivator?

Looking at their action it's not the first time taking advantage of female and killing. Now she thinks killing them is serving the people, so as to prevent them from harming others.

Yun Shang take the robber's sword, then slash their neck one by one. 

Although she already made physiological preparation, there's several time that she can't bear to do it. But whenever she can't bear it, she made herself remembered her own powerlessness under their mercy earlier, in the end she killed all of them.

After doing all this, she vomited and vowed to adapt to the society of the immortal cultivation world early. Perhaps the immortal cultivation here had already implemented the saying "the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive" into their bones.

Yun Shang now should be poisoned by a kind of poison called Forbidden Spirit Powder, and can't emit any spiritual energy at all.

The soul-forbidden powder is a poison that can imprison the spiritual power of human cultivators, demon cultivators, and devil cultivators. There is no antidote for cultivators who have been poisoned by this poison. It is harmless, but it prohibits cultivators from using their spiritual power. It can be used on cultivators of all levels of cultivation. The difference is that the soul-forbidden time is shorter for cultivators with higher cultivation levels, and longer for cultivators with lower cultivation levels. This powder has a strong medicinal property. Its raw material, the soul-forbidden flower, generally grows in a place without souls, so it is very rare and precious. I don't know how those three people got it. They actually used it to rob, which is simply a waste of natural resources.

Without the ability to use spiritual power, it was very dangerous to be alone outside the city.

Then Yun Shang remembered that she can enter her Chaos Space without spiritual energy, she really forget something important in case of emergency. 

There was no other way. Yun Shang searched hiding place, when seeing there's no other people, she enter the space.
