Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Yang Wen looked a little ashamed.

His performance in this incident was extremely poor. If Qin Tian hadn't appeared, he would have died in the hands of the monster.

Qin Tian just shook his head slightly: "It is a crime that is not a war, and there is no need to blame yourself."

What is happening now is indeed beyond the ability of a young monk in his Qi Refining Stage to solve. In fact, this student does not need to blame himself at all.

Because he lacked experience in dealing with this kind of thing, his failure was also predictable.

"Then what is this monster..."

Yang Wen asked cautiously.

Qin Tian did not answer: "First, finish the things here and appease the people. You will know later."

After saying that, Qin Tian turned around and disappeared.

Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and found that the injuries on his body had healed unexpectedly.

It seems that Qin Tian cured his injury before leaving.

……

So far, the evil spirits in the entire Song Kingdom have been cleared away by Qin Tian, ​​and Jinling is Qin Tian's last stop.

But this does not mean that you can sit back and relax and everything will be fine from now on.

"You mean, something like this will happen again in the future?"

Qin Tian nodded slightly.

The world is divided into yin and yang, and light and darkness always go hand in hand.

Just like the spiritual energy that continues to emerge in this world as the way of heaven evolves, something Qin Tian has never seen before slowly begins to grow along with the revival of spiritual energy.

Demonic energy, evil spirit, or any other name are all descriptions of this kind of thing.

When we look into it more specifically, it turns out that the desires, resentments, unwillingness and other emotions of creatures in this world are combined with some kind of energy similar in nature to aura, and then these things are born.

These things are completely synonymous with negative emotions and are harmful to practitioners without any benefit.

But once a soul is contaminated by these evil spirits by chance, they will quickly evolve into evil spirits.

As long as ordinary people do not live in a place with strong demonic energy for a long time, they will not be greatly affected.

If you come into contact by chance, the worst result is a serious illness.

But newly deceased souls, especially those filled with resentment and unwillingness, will quickly begin to evolve after being exposed to demonic energy.

At first they were just little monsters that were harmless to humans and animals and could only feed on the lowest and weakest animals.

Yes, these evil food and energy sources for spiritual practice are all living creatures.

Once they begin to devour flesh and blood, no matter what they were in life, these souls will soon sink completely and become puppets and slaves of the demonic energy.

They are hostile to all living creatures and feed on the flesh and soul of living creatures.

Moreover, they grow extremely fast and do not need the hard training of ordinary practitioners.

Especially the first three realms of practice have no threshold for them.

This also means that as long as they have enough flesh and blood and give them time to digest, they can easily grow to the highest golden elixir realm!
After that, if they want to take another step forward, they need to start devouring the flesh, blood and soul of the monks.

The most frightening thing is that these evil spirits will evolve various innate abilities based on their own experiences during their lifetime and their innermost desires.

Relying on these innate abilities, they can even hunt down living creatures several times more powerful than themselves!

After evolving to the foundation-building realm, this innate ability will receive a great strengthening, and some evil spirits can even directly block an entire city!

For example, the evil spirit that Yang Wen encountered was obviously an evil spirit that had evolved to the foundation-building realm!

Of course, evil spirits are not without their weaknesses.

The first is that they are actually quite weak at first. Even ordinary people, without even needing a warrior, can easily destroy evil spirits with weapons.

Killing these things is no more difficult than killing a rabid dog.

Secondly, because evil spirits often breed in dark places, which is the antonym of yang and synonymous with yin, they often appear at night.

If it is placed at noon, when the Yang Qi is the strongest in a day, the power of evil spirits will be greatly weakened.

In extreme cases, a foundation-building evil spirit can even be weakened to the point that even ordinary warriors can easily eliminate it!
If evil spirits want to grow, they need to continuously devour the flesh, flesh and souls of powerful living creatures.

An evil spirit who wants to grow to the Qi Refining Realm needs to devour at least dozens of people. An evil spirit with bad luck and poor talent may even need to devour hundreds of people!

The evil spirits in the Foundation Establishment realm need to devour more ordinary people.

If you want to shorten this time, then the evil spirit can only devour the monks in the Qi Refining Realm.

The evil spirit from Jinling had good talent, and he devoured dozens of people and two monks who were in the middle stage of Qi refining before he finally grew to the level of Foundation Establishment.

In fact, strictly speaking, the evil spirit has not yet fully entered the foundation-building realm, because he has not fully digested the flesh, blood, and souls of the two monks.

If he had completely digested it, then Yang Wen wouldn't be able to wait for Qin Tian's support at all.

"Then I dare to ask the immortal, is there a way to solve it once and for all?"

Qin Tian looked at Zhao Kuangyin: "Have you ever seen a way to eliminate shadows?"

Zhao Kuangyin was startled and seemed to understand.

Where there is sunshine, there must be shadows. The two complement each other, and there will never be only one or the other.

If there is no shadow, there is only one way, that is, there is no light at all. Only in this way can the shadow be completely eliminated!
Therefore, the only way to prevent the breeding of evil spirits is to completely disappear the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

But this method... Even if Qin Tian can agree, will Tiandao agree?

The results are obvious.

As long as there is even a trace of spiritual energy, there is the possibility of evil spirits breeding.

Qin Tian had never seen it before, but it was just because the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth was too low and the environment for evil spirits to breed was too harsh.

Even if the previous low concentration of spiritual energy is maintained, given time, evil spirits will definitely breed in the future!
"Then... how should we solve this problem?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a wry smile: "Is it possible that this world... is about to go into chaos?"

Qin Tian shook his head repeatedly: "That's not the case."

He just said it was simple, but in fact the conditions for evil spirits to breed were relatively harsh.

First of all, enough demonic energy must be brewed, because obviously the slightest amount of demonic energy cannot breed an evil spirit.

It is also very simple to solve the problem of evil spirits. Clean the city regularly. Without those dark corners, evil spirits will naturally have no way to breed.

Secondly, the emergence of evil spirits also requires the souls of dead creatures that are suffering enough and holding enough resentment.

Among them, the human soul is especially susceptible to the influence of evil spirits.

Because animals have relatively low emotional complexity and simple minds, unless they are in a place with extremely strong demonic energy, the souls of animals are generally unable to breed evil spirits. But the emergence of human evil spirits is both simple and difficult.

Because there are so many places that can affect people's emotions.

If a person dies with resentment or is harmed by an adulterer, there is a high probability that he will turn into evil spirits after death.

And if the person's resentment is strong enough and the waiting time is long enough, he can directly transform into an evil spirit without even needing too much demonic energy.

But if the resentment quickly subsides after a person dies, or there is no resentment at all, then even if there is enough demonic energy, it will be difficult for ordinary people to turn it into evil spirits.

If the person is a good person, or has a strong will, or other unexpected circumstances, even if the person is contaminated with demonic energy after death, he may not be unable to use the demonic energy to embark on the path of spiritual practice.

It's just that the difficulty of this kind of practice is much higher than that of ordinary monks, because they have to restrain their inner desire for living flesh and blood!

"To put it simply, as long as the government is harmonious and people live and work in peace and contentment, you don't actually have to worry about evil spirits at all."

"Because the cities built by humans are full of all kinds of positive emotions and energies, which are naturally contrary to demonic energy!"

"In fact, as long as the environment is kept clean, the evil spirit will even disappear in the city!"

But then, Qin Tian sneered again: "But if it's the other way around..."

"I advise you to warn your subordinates that no one can survive alone. Those souls who have been wronged will seek revenge on their enemies as soon as they grow up!"

In other words, the appearance of every evil spirit will most likely mean the occurrence of an unjust, false, and wrongly decided case.

Because humans are the most emotionally rich creatures in the world, this also means that their souls are more susceptible to external influences.

If evil spirits frequently breed in a place, the result needless to say is that there must be evil people here, and even the government cannot deal with this person.

So to a certain extent, this can be regarded as a disguised reduction in the cost of the emperor's governance.

To judge how well a local official is governing, you only need to look at the number and frequency of evil spirits breeding here.

This method may not be accurate, but it must be effective!
Especially in years of major disasters, this evidence can be used to easily determine whether the officials responsible for disaster relief have fulfilled their responsibilities.

"So... this is actually a good thing to a certain extent?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up.

"What are the good and bad things?" Qin Tian said for a moment: "In the end, the people who suffer are the people."

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin is not as pessimistic as Qin Tian about this matter.

"Is it possible that without these, those evil people wouldn't do evil?"

Zhao Kuangyin said seriously: "At least with these truths that cannot be covered up, the court will eventually be able to redress the injustice of the people and victims."

Qin Tian was slightly startled: "But...is the delayed justice really what the victims need?"

"Please be optimistic, Immortal, I will definitely..."

Qin Tian waved his hand: "No need to say any more lofty words, I look forward to seeing your performance."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded vigorously.

Accidents always happen unexpectedly, and what he has to do is to solve the accidents and come up with solutions.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Qin Tian thought for a while and then said slowly.

"Because the spiritual energy in this world is recovering much faster than I imagined. Therefore, if there are monks in the Song Dynasty, there may not be enemies. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes narrowed, and Qin Tian's next words made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Moreover, the monks I trained may not be able to take advantage of those people."

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but ask: "Why is this? You are so powerful..."

Qin Tian did not directly answer Zhao Kuangyin's question, but instead asked: "The Central Plains Dynasty has always been stronger than the grassland people, but why has it never been able to completely solve the grassland people's problems?"

"The grassland people were even able to counterattack for a time, and now they have established political power in the north."

Before Zhao Kuangyin could speak, Qin Tian gave his answer.

"It's simple because their bottom line is low enough."

The cultivators taught by Qin Tian all walk the upright path. Their combat effectiveness may not be very strong, but their foundation is definitely solid enough and their future is bright.

Only limited by talent and environment, many people are actually unable to achieve their ideal state.

But those practitioners who grow wildly are different.

They may not have high potential, nor may they have much future, but they act without scruples and do whatever they can, so the timely combat power they have now must be the most powerful.

But as a price, they need to pay a series of things such as lifespan and potential.

Maybe it's yours, maybe it's someone else's, but most likely it's someone else's.

After all, the monks taught by Qin Tian would not use living people as sacrifices to activate spells.

But in the grasslands, or in more remote places, this situation is completely normal.

"So... that's it." Zhao Kuangyin looked solemnly: "I understand, I will make people pay attention."

"Also... Song's army may face monsters such as Xie Sui. It's unlikely, but you have to guard against it."

"Evil spirit?" Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "How can a living person cooperate with evil spirit?"

For evil spirits, living people are their rations and food. How can living people cooperate with evil spirits?

"Never overestimate the bottom line of mankind." Qin Tian said helplessly: "In order to win, some people can do anything."

Zhao Kuangyin left worriedly.

After Zhao Kuangyin left, Qin Tian came to an altitude of 10,000 meters and looked down at the land.

Only this time, he looked north.

In the northern grasslands, Qin Tian sensed an evil aura nourishing him.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, a new and rising empire, the political power in the north had already begun to decline.

The political power established by the nomadic people was not very stable. Although the people in the country were not so poor that they could not afford to eat, at most they would not die of hunger.

Oppression, plunder and persecution are everywhere.

The people in the upper class live a peaceful life while singing and dancing, while the people in the lower class run around all day long and cannot even fill their stomachs.

Even within the army, oppression is still rampant.

In Qin Tian's vision, the northern country was already filled with demonic energy everywhere.

In the future, there may not even be cases where evil spirits rule a city or even establish their own kingdom.

Where chaos breeds, there must be a paradise for evil spirits. (End of chapter)
