Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

After returning to the Zhou residence.

Zhou Qingfeng then plunged into the training room and focused on studying the new techniques he had just learned.

Turn to the first page.

[The Instant Death Demon Eye Technique is the most powerful spell for instantly killing opponents of the same level!]

[Its power stems from its ability to see through the death lines of enemies below the Catastrophe Realm.]

[Everyone has a death line, whether they are gods, humans, demons, or ghosts. The death line is hidden beneath appearances and is constantly changing location, usually disappearing in a flash and impossible to detect.]

[Once the Instant Death Demon Eye detects the enemy's death line, a single glare from the demon eye will instantly kill anyone, regardless of their lifespan or physical strength, as long as they haven't reached the Devouring Fiend Realm.]

The problem is that it's easier said than done. Deadlines are fleeting and constantly changing position, making it difficult to predict when and where they will appear, resulting in a delay in applying the necessary techniques.

[Unless one can predict the location and time of the death line's appearance and cast the spell half a beat in advance, the enemy cannot be killed by the Instant Death Demon Eye the instant the death line appears.]

Therefore, performing this technique requires exceptional eyesight, reaction speed, predictive ability, and luck.

[With good luck, you'll win on your first try; with bad luck, you won't win even after ten tries.]

There are three prerequisites for mastering the Instant Death Mystic Eye Technique.

[First, you need the eyes of a recently deceased chicken that hasn't yet decomposed.]

Why, out of so many eyes among all living beings, is the eye of the dead chicken the only one that matters?

Although chickens are ordinary and weak, their eyesight is exceptionally gifted.

Its eyes have no blind spots and can observe the surrounding environment from all directions. However, its weakness is extremely obvious: if a line appears in front of it, it will involuntarily focus its vision on that line.

The Instant Death Mystic Eyes is a technique developed based on this.

When you train your eyes to become the Eye of Death using countless dead chicken eyes, there will be no blind spots in the world around you, and you can see right through the enemy's death line.

[Second, the death energy from the dead chicken's eyes alone is far from sufficient, so it requires the death energy of a large number of living beings as support. Once the death energy is insufficient, the Instant Death Demon Eye will be unable to see the death line.]

Thirdly, one must possess magical power imbued with the energy of the Three Calamities to cast the Instant Death Demon Eye Technique.

Zhou Qingfeng put away the magic manual. He didn't care how difficult it was to master it, because it was worth it.

They don't care how low the chance of success is, because they can cast a divination beforehand to find out if the divination is inauspicious or not. If the divination is inauspicious and peaceful, then they won't cast the spell. If the divination is auspicious, then casting the spell is equivalent to a 100% instant kill.

This technique might be useless to others, and practicing it might actually harm them.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

But for me, it was just right.

It can be said that what is poison to one is honey to another.

There are three conditions for mastering the Instant Death Demon Eye Technique, and I have already met one of them.

The eyes of dead chickens are easy to get; there are plenty of fresh dead chicken eyes at the market every day, so it's not difficult.

But where do we find death energy? Although there is a lot of death energy in the world, it is mixed in with a lot of turbid energy. If we slowly sift it out from the turbid energy, it will take a lot of time and effort.

If we can find a place full of death energy, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qingfeng came up with an excellent place.

"Jin Wei!" Zhou Qingfeng called out as he walked out of the training room.

Upon hearing this, Jin Wei immediately ran over and asked, "Young Master, what are your orders?"

Zhou Qingfeng calmly looked up at the clear sky: "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the crematorium."

"Yes, young master." Jin Wei immediately obeyed the order and left.

Jin Wei is now the chief steward of the Zhou family, and also serves as the commander of the guards and the money bag. During the year that Zhou Qingfeng was in seclusion, Jin Wei was not idle. After a year of hard training, he has reached the Food Demon Realm.

Because he killed enemy generals and seized flags, and captured and killed bandit leaders during the suppression of bandits.

When it came time to reward meritorious service, the Hall of Merit and Kindness distributed a set of materials for ascending to the Realm of Devouring Fiends, the Flying Sword Control Technique (ranked 66th among Fiend-level spells), and the Demonic Body Technique (ranked 64th among Fiend-level physical techniques).

This was something Qiu Chengde had personally arranged with Master Jiang of Jiangshantang.

The purpose was to strengthen the power of Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates.

If it weren't for Zhou Qingfeng, the fourth young master, standing behind him, no matter how great Jin Wei's achievements were, he would still be a low-level cultivator at the Food Disaster level, almost 35 years old, without connections, background, or strength, and all the good things would be taken by others.

Because the Four Fiend Fates required for the advancement materials to the Food Fiend Realm are extremely rare.

These are the Yang Blade Destiny, the Tuo Luo Destiny, the Mars Destiny, and the Bell Star Destiny.

These four inauspicious fates are extremely rare, with a probability of only one in ten thousand appearing among mortals. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot obtain them. Even if they were extremely lucky enough to acquire one inauspicious fate, it would be difficult for them to collect all four in their lifetime.

It can be said that the four types of fates are all controlled by families and sects, and used to cultivate their own core disciples, because cultivators in the Devouring Fiend Realm are already considered top combat power among low-level cultivators.

Jin Wei's current strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, he specially selected thirty-six men from the bandit suppression army to become his lackeys.

A year has passed.

Among these thirty-six people, six were cultivators at the Devouring Fiend Realm and thirty were cultivators at the Devouring Calamity Realm. They formed Zhou Qingfeng's private force, specifically to protect Zhou Qingfeng's personal safety.

With this private armed force, wiping out the Night Wanderers would be a piece of cake.

However, the cost is that the Zhou family has to spend three million yuan a year to support them.

Zhou Qingfeng left the mansion in a carriage. On the surface, only Jin Wei was by his side, but in secret, thirty-six guards followed him. If any villains appeared beside Zhou Qingfeng, or if he needed manpower, he could simply call out.

Upon arriving at the teahouse, Zhou Qingfeng glanced at it and said casually, "Jin Wei, I'd like to drink lychee black tea."

"Young Master, please wait a moment. Jin Wei will take care of it." Jin Wei immediately stopped the carriage and beckoned a guard over: "Go to the teahouse and buy a cup of lychee black tea. The young master likes lychees, so remember to add extra lychees."

The guard immediately bowed and accepted the order, then ran to the teahouse to buy a cup of lychee black tea and quickly reported back.

Zhou Qingfeng slowly sipped the lychee black tea in the bamboo tube with one hand, while lifting the curtain with the other to admire the bustling city scenery.

As they walked towards the crematorium, there were no more pedestrians on the road.

"We've arrived, young master." Jin Wei lifted the carriage curtain and reached out to help Zhou Qingfeng down from the carriage.

Zhou Qingfeng held a cup of lychee black tea in one hand and slowly walked inside.

Jin Wei, his hand on the hilt of his sword, immediately led the way, shouting, "Where is the person in charge of the cremation office? The Fourth Young Master has graced us with his presence! Why don't you all come out and greet him at once!"

At the call, the head of the crematorium rushed out, clutching a heart in one hand and a liver in the other, with a blood-stained apron hanging on his chest: "Fourth Young Master, Ren Wuji greets you."

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at him: "You got promoted now?"

A smile appeared on Ren Wuji's pale face: "The person in charge was just killed by a calamity-level vengeful ghost. I have been promoted to acting head and coroner. Fourth Young Master, what are your orders?"

Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly: "Manager Ren, I will be staying here for a while. I would appreciate it if you could arrange for someone to prepare a room for me."

"???"
