Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

What is this strange thing? Could it be a treasure?

Li Chengfeng picked up the copper coin and immediately felt a surge of malice coiling within him. He wanted to kill Tian Ku immediately, relying on his Rain Summoning Technique to do the job. Kill him, seize the treasure, and leave this place to cultivate in peace, where the vast world would be his oyster.

Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced the depths of his soul. This wasn't like him. He had always been cautious, so why this sudden impulse?

He dropped the copper coin on the ground, and the malice and fantasies vanished. This copper coin was definitely strange.

Li Chengfeng reached out and used "Cauldron's Bottom Source Extraction" on the copper coin, extracting one-tenth of its soul with a "boom."

A wisp of dark, evil soul flickered on his fingertip. He didn't swallow it but observed it carefully.

"Please spare me, Great Immortal! I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

The soul trembled, fearing that Li Chengfeng would extinguish it.

"What exactly are you?"

"I am a Fallen Copper Coin. Whoever obtains me will fall into depravity and madness, leading to many ominous events. For example, Wang Bao became impulsive after obtaining me, amplifying his inner desires and causing him to do self-destructive things. After he died, his soul was absorbed by me, and then the person who killed him would obtain me, falling into madness again, and so on. I rely on absorbing people's souls and resentment to enhance myself.

I am a spiritual treasure, but unfortunately, during a great battle in the spirit world, I was shattered and fell to the lower realm. I don't remember some things!"

Li Chengfeng suddenly understood that he had almost been killed. With his current strength, seeking out Tian Ku was undoubtedly like hitting a stone with an egg. He said, "If I extinguish this wisp of your remnant soul now, will something happen to you?"

The Fallen Copper Coin wanted to cry aggrievedly. Wang Bao's family were grave robbers. Wang Bao's father had stolen the Fallen Copper Coin and given it to Wang Bao. The Fallen Copper Coin couldn't bewitch ordinary people, so Wang Bao carried it as an antique.

Wang Bao had Qi perception, and the Fallen Copper Coin couldn't wait to amplify the desires in Wang Bao's heart, making him kill Li Chengfeng, but he was killed instead.

Then, the Fallen Copper Coin absorbed Wang Bao's soul or resentment, but unfortunately, his soul, which had just gained some consciousness, had one-tenth of it extracted. Now, the other party wanted to destroy him, so he would be plunged into eternal sleep, so he dared not hide anything.

"Great Immortal, spare me! I am willing to acknowledge you as my master! I can sign a spiritual treasure contract with you. I will never betray you and will only harm your enemies!"

Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment.

"Tell me about the contract first, and I'll study it!"

The Fallen Copper Coin didn't dare to be negligent and transmitted the method of signing the contract to Li Chengfeng.

Although Li Chengfeng's strength wasn't high, he could understand any cultivation technique or secret art at a glance and deduce it to eighty or ninety percent. Moreover, after practicing for a period of time, he could infer other things from one instance.

He carefully comprehended and realized that this guy hadn't lied to him. He began to cast hand seals and then integrated a trace of his own aura into the wisp of soul before injecting it into the spiritual treasure.

As long as he had a thought, the soul within the Fallen Copper Coin would explode.

After signing the contract, holding the Fallen Copper Coin, he indeed no longer felt impetuous or had the idea of going to fight Tian Ku to the death.

Li Chengfeng's eyes flickered. If he gave the Fallen Copper Coin to Tian Ku, amplifying the desires in his heart, he wouldn't focus on him. Maybe he would be seeking his own death.

Thinking of this, he decided to take a gamble. Looking at Wang Bao's corpse on the ground, he took the dagger and stabbed it repeatedly into the hole in his chest, adding a few more cuts to his body so it wouldn't look like he had been killed by the Rain Summoning Technique.

The bloody smell stimulated Li Chengfeng's urge to vomit, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, for his own survival.

After doing everything, Li Chengfeng calmed his mind and went to Tian Ku's cave, knocking on the stone door.

After a while, with a "click," the stone door opened.

Tian Ku came out, exuding murderous intent, and said, "Li Chengfeng, are you looking for death, disturbing your master's cultivation in the middle of the night?"

"Master, Wang Bao tried to kill me with a copper coin, but luckily I was quick-witted and killed him with a dagger!"

Li Chengfeng said, his face pale, trembling with lingering fear.

Tian Ku's eyes gleamed as he said, "You killed Wang Bao? You're quite ruthless. Then take me to see it?"

Li Chengfeng respectfully handed the copper coin to Tian Ku.

Tian Ku took it in his hand, scanned it with his divine sense, and his face immediately revealed a look of surprise and joy. He put it away and said, "Considering that you handed over the treasure, I'll spare you. Lead the way!"

Li Chengfeng felt fear in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, arriving at his cave.

Tian Ku glanced at the corpse, then at the dagger, and looked at Li Chengfeng mockingly, saying, "You have quite the nerve to lie to me. Tell me, how did you kill Wang Bao?"

Li Chengfeng felt like he was in an ice cave, cold sweat wetting his clothes, and he was filled with fear and trepidation.

"Master, I killed him with this dagger. I was just afraid he wasn't dead, so I stabbed him a few more times!"

"Hmph, how did you get this dagger? This dagger obviously isn't yours. When you came, you didn't have much meat on your bones. You looked like a poor ghost. How could you afford such a delicate dagger? If you don't tell the truth, I'll turn you to ashes!"

"Thump."

Li Chengfeng knelt on the ground. Facing Tian Ku's pressure, his mind raced. Compared to the old fox, he was still very naive. His meticulous plan was full of loopholes in the other party's eyes.

"Wang Bao came to rob me of my pills, forcing me with the dagger. I had no choice but to give him the pills. He was overjoyed and focused on the pills, so I snatched the dagger and killed him!"

"Boy, don't think I don't understand your intentions. You want to feign weakness, cover up your strength, and then find an opportunity to kill me and escape from here!

Stop dreaming. You are indeed clever, and I won't hide it from you either. If you didn't still have value, you would have died long ago. You haven't even taken the pills.

You're always wary of your master, so I'll be frank with you. My cultivation technique has a problem.

As long as you advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining, it means my idea is correct. Cultivation is too hard. It wouldn't be bad to have a companion. Then I'll give you freedom and pass on the entire 'Wither and Flourish Sky-Reaching Technique' to you," Tian Ku said, coaxing him.

Li Chengfeng kowtowed again and said, "Master, I have judged a gentleman with the heart of a petty man. I will definitely cultivate diligently."

He didn't believe a word of Tian Ku's words. Through this incident, he understood that killing Tian Ku was as difficult as ascending to heaven. This man was ruthless and intelligent.

Tian Ku didn't ask how Li Chengfeng killed Wang Bao. A second-level Qi Refining disciple who only knew the Rain Summoning Technique was no different from an ant.

Having only realm without spells was like a tiger without teeth. In Tian Ku's eyes, he couldn't cause any waves.

"Seeing that you didn't covet the treasure, I won't pursue the matter, or else, see how I deal with you!"

A cold aura emanated from his body.

Li Chengfeng shivered, nodding repeatedly, looking like he was scared silly.

"Hurry up and cultivate diligently. I'm going out for a trip, for a year at most, half a year at least. Take good care of the medicine field for me. If a single plant is damaged, I'll cut off one of your arms!

Don't even think about escaping. I already know you're not honest. You often circle around the stone wall, looking for an opportunity to escape.

I've already given you the Seven-Day Soul Severance Powder. Take the antidote once every seven days. Here's the antidote for the year. If I don't come back in a year, you will die too, understand?"

Tian Ku looked like he had Li Chengfeng completely under control.

Li Chengfeng's face fell, looking helpless and resigned.

"Master, rest assured, I definitely won't act rashly, I'll take good care of everything and cultivate diligently!"

He said this, but he was overjoyed in his heart. Could it be that the Fallen Copper Coin had already taken effect? Going out, Tian Ku, to satisfy his greatest desire, would definitely be extremely crazy and provoke someone he shouldn't, leading to his own death.
