Chapter 68 Blood Flames Burning the Body
"Lord Wang, I also found a letter in Han Shantong's room. This old ghost had already guessed that we were going to take action against him. On the one hand, he sent a message to the Yin Yuan Sect for help, and on the other hand, he worshipped the Devouring Spirit Ghost to strengthen his strength. He intended to unite the leaders of more than a dozen forces in the inner and outer cities to fight against us. What a laughable frog in a well. So what if a dozen Dark Force martial artists joined forces? They are all a bunch of trash." Ran Hongxia said disdainfully.
With a clang, Wang Ling sheathed his sword and said calmly, "Chen Fang, take your men and go there. Among all the aforementioned forces, if anyone colludes with the Yin Yuan Sect, their entire family will be exterminated."
"My lord, with this method of killing, I'm afraid all the experts in Jiangyin County will be wiped out. Moreover, once the news gets out, it will surely cause even greater turmoil." A lean man standing next to Ran Hongxia suddenly said. He was the commander of this squad of garrison soldiers, and his surname was Chen.
"Chaos? So what if it's chaotic? I'll be staying in Jiangyin County for a while, and I want to see just how chaotic they can get," Wang Ling said coldly.
"Commander Chen, stop dawdling. Just do as Lord Wang says. You know his personality," Ran Hongxia said.
"Yes." Commander Chen turned and left, secretly marveling to himself. He had long heard that Wang Ling was a ruthless and cruel man who hated evil as if it were his enemy. He never showed mercy in his actions and would kill anyone who did evil without hesitation. Moreover, he often tortured and killed those who did evil. His reputation in the prefecture was polarized. Some people called him a chivalrous and righteous man, while others said that he was a wicked monster hiding inside.
He had never had any contact with Wang Ling before, but now he finally understood.
Anyone who commits evil should be killed; Wang Ling neither cares about nor pays attention to the consequences.
...
the other side.
A small courtyard outside the city.
Lin Qing didn't sleep all night. Early in the morning, he got up, drank a bowl of white rice porridge to fill his stomach, and went upstairs.
He sat on the bed, and with a thought, chose to absorb the memories from Han Shantong.
The first part shows scenes from Han Shantong's childhood, where he has chicken, duck, fish and meat at every meal, maids and servants at his beck and call, and he even consumes raw human milk.
Then came his youth, during which Han Shantong diligently practiced martial arts every day. He not only took a lot of tonics, but also received one-on-one instruction from masters of the Han family.
After reading it, Lin Qing felt only envy. This was the treatment of a rich young master. Poor children who wanted to practice martial arts couldn't even guarantee food, let alone qi and blood tonics and private coaches.
The scene changes again, and we are now in middle age. Han Shantong has taken control of the Han family. He is ruthless and has secretly killed many martial artists. He also colluded with the Yin Yuan Sect to harm young girls, taking their heart blood, or concocting forbidden drugs and forcing his servants to take them.
Many forbidden drugs became highly poisonous due to failed refining processes, and the servants who took them often died tragically.
Lin Qing felt calm upon seeing this, because he had already anticipated it. Han Shantong was willing to harm even infants in order to become stronger, so what did a few servants matter?
In this era, many aristocratic lords viewed servants and beasts as no different, their lives and deaths decided in a single thought.
Memories flowed, images shifted, quickly appearing and disappearing in Lin Qing's mind. In the final moments, he saw many extremely valuable fragments.
"Is the secret room in the back mountain?"
When everything faded away and Lin Qing returned to reality, he felt quite happy.
From the video, he saw that Han Shantong mentioned that he had a secret room containing rare treasures that the Han family had collected over the years, including the Rebirth Lotus that could improve one's Yin Bone grade, land deeds from the prefectural city, Heavenly Dust Sand, and gold, all of which were extremely valuable treasures.
To open the door to this secret chamber, one must have a set of bronze keys that Han Shantong always carries with him.
That's not a problem. Lin Qing killed Han Shantong yesterday and got the key from his corpse.
"The only problem now is the exact location of the secret room. We only know it's behind the Han family's mountain, but we don't know the exact location. Moreover, only Han Shantong knew the exact location, and now that he's dead, I have to find it myself," Lin Qing pondered.
His heart burned with fervor; no matter what, he was determined to find this secret chamber and retrieve all the treasures inside.
"Once things calm down, I'll sneak into the back of the Han family's mountain and search it thoroughly again. If I spend a little more time, I'm sure I'll find it," Lin Qing thought to himself.
At this moment, a lot of information appeared before him, all of which were Han Shantong's martial arts skills throughout his life.

1. Blood Flame Burns the Body (Mastery)
Originating from the secret dark force training method of the Yin Yuan Sect in Sichuan, beginners can activate blood flame force. When practicing, dark red lines will appear on both palms. The force touches the body but does not burn the exterior. It targets the internal organs and can burn the blood and qi in the enemy's body, generating blood flame. Those who are hit will feel as if they are being burned internally, and will suffer unbearable pain.
However, the cultivator's mind will be eroded by the Blood Flame Force, and the desire for killing and pain will continue to grow. The cultivator needs to kill constantly to relieve the desire, otherwise he will be easily backfired and go into demonic possession.
2. The Visualization Method of Devouring the Spirit Demon (Beginner)
The core secret method of the Yin Yuan Sect involves visualizing the form of a ghostly demon devouring spirits from the netherworld, thereby tempering one's will and strengthening one's soul.
Beginners can only maintain visualization for a short time, but long-term practice can slightly improve their tolerance for pain and fear.
However, visualizing something sinister can easily trigger the dark side of one's own heart. If one's will is not firm, it may intensify the desire to kill and even cause hallucinations.
Beginners can worship the spirit-devouring demon statue, absorb evil spirits into their souls, and obtain corresponding evil magic and spells.
3. Hundred Poison Yin Wind Palm (Beginner)
The Yin Yuan Sect of Shu is known for its insidious and vicious fighting techniques. Their palm strikes are cold and yin, capable of inflicting deadly poison on their enemies.
Those poisoned will not die immediately, but will feel as if they have been invaded by a cold wind. First, their blood and qi will stagnate, their limbs will become numb, and then they will have a persistent high fever and feel as if their internal organs are being twisted.
Without the right medicine, they will die after suffering for several days, their energy depleted.
4. Ground-level bone-crushing shears (proficient)
A unique fighting technique prevalent in Sichuan. Those skilled in this technique are adept at either deliberately falling to the ground or launching a counterattack when knocked down.
Their movements are unpredictable, specializing in attacking the lower body. Their legs are like giant scissors, adept at locking, seizing, and severing the opponent's ankles and knees; their hands are like venomous snakes, grabbing and seizing vital points such as the waist and groin, combined with techniques to dislocate tendons and bones, making them impossible to defend against.
"Burning body in blood and flames?"
Lin Qing was overjoyed. As long as he could replicate this martial art, his strength would increase dramatically.
However, he also saw the message notification on the panel, which could arouse a bloodlust.
After a moment's thought, Lin Qing decided to copy the Blood Flame Burning Body technique, which was at the Great Perfection level, and immediately put it into his equipment slot.
From internal strength to external strength, his power will increase dramatically, and he can't possibly let such great power go to waste.
As for the problem of growing bloodlust, he felt that there would definitely be a way to solve it in the future, and it wasn't a big deal.
Considering that the beginner level of the Transformation Realm cultivation method would open acupoints, unleash Blood Flame Force, and cause drastic changes in the physique, Lin Qing prepared the pills in advance.
One of them was a Qi-replenishing pill, which cost 50 taels of silver. He had been saving it for this moment.
He immediately swallowed the pill, and in an instant, his blood and qi surged throughout his body. Without him being able to consciously guide it, it naturally rushed towards a certain acupoint in his lower abdomen.
The first attempt failed, and some of the Qi and blood were depleted, but soon, more Qi and blood were generated and gathered to launch the second attempt.
Then he failed again, and the cycle repeated itself until the fifth time. With a soft crack, Lin Qing could clearly feel that the acupoint had been opened.
