I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Three inner disciples dressed in white robes descended on swords.

The young man leading them was full of arrogance. He was the grandson of an elder from the Inner Sect's Enforcement Hall, named Zhang Kuang, and his cultivation level was the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, Luo Ling'er stood in front of the offerings at the grave, shouting, "All of you, stay away from her!"

"To burn paper money for a lowly servant? This is truly a disgrace to the sect leader."

Zhang Kuang let out a sneer, then kicked the brazier over.

Sparks crackled and flew out, scalding Luo Ling'er's hand. She cried out, and the wooden carving in her hand fell into the muddy water.

Zhang Kuang quickly walked forward, then suddenly stomped on the wooden carving, grinding it hard until the ugly-cute doll was crushed into the mud.

"How did this piece of junk end up in the Purple Void Sect?"

Gu Yun was taken aback. It seemed that it wasn't good for the little devil to become obedient.

"You have to compensate me! This was a gift from Grandpa!" Luo Ling'er cried as she pushed him. Zhang Kuang casually unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, and Luo Ling'er was pushed to the ground, covered in mud.

"Hmph, they really don't know how to appreciate other people's kindness. Let's go, don't get entangled with bad luck."

The three laughed loudly and rode away on their swords. Luo Ling'er, meanwhile, lay in the mud, hugging the filthy wooden carving, and cried loudly.

On the treetops.

Gu Yun's fingers were firmly inserted into the tree trunk.

But he did not make any movement or make any sound.

……

Two hours later, at the residence of the inner disciples.

Zhang Kuang was cross-legged, cultivating within the spirit-gathering array. Today, he had humiliated the sect leader's daughter, which gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew the window open.

The candlelight flickered, in an instant.

"Who?!"

Zhang Kuang's eyes widened suddenly. Just as he was about to draw his sword, a hand silently grabbed the back of his neck.

Just as he was about to make a sound, he saw the other party move, and in an instant, all the spiritual power in his body seemed to be frozen.

"You...stepped on her things."

A voice, hoarse and aged, seemed to come from a very distant and dark place, and gently rang in his ear.

Gu Yun did not use a knife or poison.

He then gently placed his other hand on Zhang Kuang's crown.

"The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion!"

"Since you act so arrogantly, then I'll accept your arrogance."

hum!

Zhang Kuang's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins. He realized with horror that it seemed as if straws were being inserted into his field of vision.

Not only his spiritual power, but also his soul, vitality, and the maximum fear and regret he unleashed before his death, all surged wildly toward the old man's palm!

"Uh...uh..."

Zhang Kuang's body witnessed that scene: some people's skin was becoming withered at a visible speed, their black hair was gradually turning white, and then their white hair fell out.

In just ten breaths.

That day, the once arrogant and domineering inner sect elite had become a dried corpse, seemingly aged for a thousand years. He knelt on the ground, his face contorted, his death gruesome.

Gu Yunxing made his move, letting the dried corpse fall to the ground.

As he looked at his actions, a pale golden object with violent properties appeared in his palm. That object was the essence of all his cultivation and fortune.

Gu Yun opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the remaining air into his stomach.

It was unclear whether the teenager, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, had reached that level in an instant under this nourishment, and had even taken a step closer to becoming a teenager.

"There are two more."

Gu Yun's body flashed swiftly, then vanished without a trace from the darkness.

That night, three disciples from the inner sect of the Zixu Sect suddenly died. The cause of their deaths was that they made mistakes while practicing their martial arts, which depleted their vital energy.

Half a month later, in the area where the mortal world and the cultivation world meet, there exists a place called the Blissful Pavilion.

This is the largest shopping area within a radius of hundreds of miles. Whether it is ordinary wealthy merchants or many cultivators of lower levels, they are all addicted to shopping here.

The Dark Hall Xuanzi has a mission: to assassinate Liu Ruyan, the demoness from the Hehuan Sect.

Target forces: Peak Qi Refining Level 8.

She was highly skilled in the art of sexual cultivation and possessed a naturally alluring demeanor. Many righteous disciples died at her hands, their bodies dried up by her sexual exploitation.

Now, inside the luxurious private room of the Bliss Pavilion, red candles shine brightly, and a warm, fragrant aroma wafts through the air.

Gu Yun was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe and wore a fake beard. He disguised himself as an ordinary wealthy merchant who looked unwell but was still infatuated with women, and was sitting in a sedan chair with an extremely beautiful woman in his arms.

That woman was Liu Ruyan.

She wore a red gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing, her skin faintly visible, and her perfect peach blossom eyes seemed capable of stealing one's soul.

"Master Liu, you are already so old, yet you are still so healthy. I am truly amazed."

Liu Ruyan nestled gently in Gu Yun's arms. Her fingers traced circles on Gu Yun's chest.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible glint of greed flashed across her eyes.

As a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, she immediately spotted the wealthy Liu. Although his face appeared aged, it contained an immense and complex aura of blood and energy, which was the result of Gu Yun having consumed too many people without fully refining them.

This is practically a walking, breathing elixir!

Once she ingests it, she can seize the opportunity to attempt to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Although I am old, my heart is still warm."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, revealing a lecherous look, and his large hand moved erratically around Liu Ruyan's waist.

In fact, his Purple Mansion had already been closed.

The bead suppressed his mind, keeping him absolutely clear-headed despite the allure of this seductive spell that could ensnare even ordinary cultivators.

"Then...then I'll do something to make the master feel warmer..."

Liu Ruyan smiled, then her red lips parted, exhaling a pink mist, and she immediately kissed Gu Yun's lips.

This is the secret technique of the Hehuan Sect, known for its ecstasy.

If a person is affected by a certain situation, their mind and consciousness will become confused, and their internal energy will be lost unconsciously, allowing the other party to absorb and replenish it at will.

Gu Yun did not dodge.

He watched the pink mist seep into the ground, and watched Liu Ruyan's spiritual power probe into his dantian.

Just as Liu Ruyan thought she had succeeded, a smug smile playing on her lips, and was preparing to feast,

Gu Yun's old eyes, which had been looking hazy, suddenly became clear.

The corners of her mouth turned up in a smile, a smile more pronounced than her cruelty.

"Little girl, you want to consume me."

"The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion Take a Turn for the Better!"

The fourth bead represents "desire," which is lust or greed, and it has already been awakened.

boom!

Liu Ruyan sensed a terrifying suction force suddenly appearing, which was emanating from the prey's dantian.

The substance that should have flowed into her essence suddenly reversed direction and flowed back!

Not only that, even the spiritual power of the Hehuan Sect that she had painstakingly cultivated over the years, as well as her own primordial yin energy, were forcibly pulled away by that extremely domineering force.

"No... How could this be! Who are you?!"

Liu Ruyan was so frightened that her face changed drastically. She tried to push Gu Yun away, but found that Gu Yun's hands were thin and bony, but they were gripping her vital parts tightly like iron hoops.

"I am not important."

Gu Yun's voice was cold, like a knife. Looking at the terrified beauty in his arms, he felt as if she were a plate of braised pork.

"The key point is that I quite like the results of your modifications this time."

"!! Let me go! Please... I'm willing to be your furnace... Don't suck me away!"

Liu Ruyan struggled fiercely, using all her charms in the hopes of arousing Gu Yun's pity and making him want to protect her.

But who is Gu Yun?

He was an old ghost who had crawled out of a pile of corpses. The only person in his heart was the little girl who bought him candied hawthorns. Everyone else was like bone to him.

"A furnace? That's unnecessary."

Gu Yun suddenly increased the intensity.

Within the Purple Mansion, a pink bead was spinning wildly. This bead completely refined Liu Ruyan's immense lust and will to survive.

The pleasure derived from plunder is many times more intense than what happens between men and women.

Half an hour later.

The red candle burned out.

Gu Yun straightened his clothes, then pushed away the emaciated female corpse in his arms, who was now just skin and bones. He then stood up, looking quite well.

He eliminated the Hehuan Sect demoness at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his cultivation at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining became stable. Moreover, he successfully gathered the fourth bead, which is called the [Desire] bead.

This bead has an alluring quality.

From then on, all the spells and tricks in the world that could confuse people and create illusions had no effect on the old ghost!
