I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"This is……"

Zhou Heng looked at the strange oil lamp with an extremely indifferent expression and a hint of confusion, then spoke.

“This is the light of humanity.”

Sun Lei held the oil lamp and explained slowly:

"Human nature is like fire. Holding this lamp, the height of the light represents the amount of human nature. Disciple, come and try it."

"I will obey my master's orders."

Zhou Heng responded seriously, then reached out and took the so-called humanity lamp from Sun Lei.

The Humanity Lamp was icy cold to the touch. The moment Zhou Heng grasped it in his hand, the light that was originally more than 8 centimeters dropped sharply to about 5.3 centimeters.

"Just over five cents? How could that be? How could your humanity have been lost so much?

Logically speaking, after just a year of seclusion refining his essence and transforming it into Qi, his humanity shouldn't have deteriorated so much. Disciple, what on earth is going on?"

Sun Lei asked in surprise, his eyes fixed on Zhou Heng's face.

Zhou Heng's expression didn't change much in response to this. He continued to explain in a cold and indifferent tone:

"Master, do you still remember the two special techniques that I mentioned?"

"Oh? Is it related to your two special skills?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is related to the special technique that can greatly increase the disciples' strength.

The disciple discovered that by using that technique while running the Green Emperor's Longevity Sword in reverse, the power of the Green Emperor's Longevity Sword could be greatly increased. It was even unnecessary to directly injure the enemy. One could just get close to the enemy and attack to drain their lifespan.

It is precisely because of this ability that the disciples were able to defeat those people from Jinmen Temple, Aries Academy and Danghun Mountain so easily in succession when they were in the Evil Realm.

However, when blessing the Green Emperor's Longevity Sword, my special technique also brought about significant side effects, one of which was the rapid depletion of my humanity."

"Is this really the case? That special technique is so powerful?"

After listening to Zhou Heng's explanation, Sun Lei looked at him with his eyes slightly narrowed and pondered.

He looked at Zhou Heng deeply for a long time.

Finally, Sun Lei nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Zhou Heng:

"For practitioners like us, human nature is extremely important. If our human nature is less than 50%, disaster will befall us.

Disciple, don't use your special effects method unless it is absolutely necessary.

This porcelain bottle contains five thousand human pills containing human nature, which should be able to restore your humanity to more than 80%. You can only take a maximum of one hundred pills per day."

"Master, this is truly too precious. I dare not accept it. I will go down the mountain to gain experience and accumulate humanity."

Before Sun Lei could finish his words, Zhou Heng spoke hurriedly.

Hear the words.

Sun Lei smiled lightly:

"This is nothing precious, just enough to make human pills.

As for going down the mountain to gain experience, wait until you have refined your Qi and become a spirit.

Not only have you not yet mastered your master's inheritance of refining equipment, you have also not practiced many immortal arts. Don't worry about gaining experience. Your master will provide you with any cultivation resources you lack.

Also, you have the greatest merit in exterminating the evil spirit this time, and you will receive a thousand sect contribution points, which will be enough for you to use for a long time.

You are seriously lacking in humanity now, so you'd better go back and take the human-refining elixir as soon as possible. Don't rush to refine your essence into qi until your humanity has recovered to more than 70%. I've also given you the humanity lamp, so go back to the house.

By the way, Rendan cannot be swallowed raw, otherwise the effect will be directly reduced by 90%. It should be placed in the mouth and chewed carefully, chewed into a pulp before swallowing. Only in this way can it exert 100% of its effectiveness. "

"Yes, thank you Master for your advice. I understand."

Zhou Heng took the small porcelain bottle hanging in front of him with an expressionless face and did not struggle any further to go down the mountain.

"Well, go ahead. I still have things to do. Come back to the main hall in ten days. Then I will teach you all the key points of weapon refining."

"Master, wait a moment."

Seeing that Sun Lei was about to leave, Zhou Heng hurriedly called out to him and took out a small cloth bag from his arms, holding it in both hands and handed it forward.

"Master, this is what I got from the female disciple from Danghun Mountain whom I killed.

If my guess is correct, this should be her storage bag. This item involves the relationship between the two forces, so I dare not handle it lightly. I hope Master will make the final decision."

Hear the words.

Looking at Zhou Heng's serious expression, Sun Lei couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, chuckling:

"Boy, you are worried about some kind of restriction here, right? And what about the girl's body? Take them out and I will take care of them for you."

"Yes, thank you Master."

Zhou Heng readily took out the body of the leading female Gu cultivator from his storage bag. As for the Gu insects, they were reduced to ashes the moment the other party died completely, without even a trace of remains left.

When the body of the leading female Gu cultivator and her storage bag were placed in front of Sun Lei.

Sun Lei simply reached out and gently stroked it in the air.

In an instant, two clouds of black smoke gushed out from the corpse and the storage bag, and gathered in mid-air to form the hideous and distorted face of Fang Xiaozhengtai from Danghun Mountain, who then roared angrily at Sun Lei:

"Sun Gou! How dare you touch the corpses and belongings of my descendants!!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Fang, if I remember correctly, you said at the time that this girl was not worthy of being your offspring."

"Sun Gou, don't go too far! Otherwise, I will fight you to the death."

"Humph, the fight won't stop until one dies. If you have the guts, come find me at Qianling Sect."

Facing Fang Xiaozhengtai's angry threat, Sun Lei didn't take it seriously at all. He waved his hand and immediately destroyed the other party's face formed by black smoke.

"Okay, disciple, take everything back.

You must keep this corpse well. It can be used as material when I teach you how to refine weapons in ten days.

It’s getting late, so I’ll leave first.”

Say it.

Without waiting for Zhou Heng's response, Sun Lei's figure instantly twisted and disappeared, as if it was wiped out from a piece of space, leaving no trace of its existence.

See this.

Zhou Heng did not stay any longer. After collecting the body and storage bag of the leading female Gu cultivator, he quickly walked out of the main hall and went straight back to his bedroom.

……

In the bedroom.

He took out the small porcelain bottle that Sun Lei had given him, which could not fit into the storage bag, from his pocket.

Zhou Heng was in a complicated mood. Although his plan to go down the mountain for training today failed, he unexpectedly obtained a large number of human pills. It was true that things in the world are unpredictable. This harvest saved him a lot of effort.

After all, the main reason why he had always wanted to go out and gain experience was actually to capture people to make pills, and temporarily staying away from Sun Lei was just a side idea.
