Chapter 158: Return To The Clan! Hand Over The Alchemy Method! The Strategy of Jin Nation

Tight Band Incantation.

A secret technique appeared in his mind.

It was the secret technique in the Exalted One Expiation Sutra.

It was meant for subduing great demons and would turn the Golden Wheel of Expiation into a band that would suppress the demon once it was placed on the head of the demon. If the demon dared to have the slightest dissent, one might chant the sutra to suppress it further.

If the demon dared to harm the band incantation caster, it would be suppressed and live in misery.

Once bound by the Band Curse, one would not be able to release oneself unless they became immortal. It could only be resolved by a Daoist Master who was ten times stronger than Ye Ping.

Hence, he learned this secret technique.

Ye Ping was overjoyed.

To be honest, Ye Ping dared not provoke the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon.

After all, the realm was a determinant. The Ghost King of the Nascent Soul realm was created with resentment and back then, it was created with lots of sins.

However, now that he had the Band Curse, he would have an extra Nascent Soul realm bodyguard for no reason.

It was a Ghost King of the Nascent Soul realm. That meant he could dominate.

“Ouch, it hurts so much.”

At this moment, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon finally came back to his senses. God knows what he had just suffered.

Ye Ping's Supreme Detection Expiation Sutra had made him feel like he was in a living hell. He almost ran his head into the wall.

However, after he came back to his senses, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon couldn't help but touch his bald head, only to find that there was an extra hoop on his head that was banded tightly on his head. Although it was not excruciatingly painful, it was still uncomfortable.

“What on earth is this thing?”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon frowned, but soon he turned to look at Ye Ping with a menacing gaze.

“Rascal, why did you stop? Keep going.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon's eyes were fuming with fury. No one would be pleased to be tortured that way, let alone him, the Ghost King.

Boom.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon struck. He wanted to kill Ye Ping and not leave him any chances.

However, at this moment, a terrifying power was added to the golden hoop, and in an instant, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon seemed to have a supreme existence appearing in his mind as his essence soul was on the verge of collapsing.

“Ah!”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon shrieked in misery while hugging his head and rolling vigorously on the ground. He felt that his essence soul was about to crumble and he wished he was dead.

It was even more terrible than before.

“What's going on? Benefactor, what's going on?”

Xia Qingmo was somewhat unable to understand the sudden change.

Ye Ping did not answer Xia Qingmo's question, but he looked at the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon who was rolling on the ground.

“The golden hoop on your head is a supreme secret technique, as long as you have any dissenting intention towards me. You will suffer from the suppression of your essence soul. Do you understand?”

Ye Ping explained as simply as he could, the current situation.

Xia Qingmo immediately understood.

However, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon did not understand why there would be such a thing in this world.

What Band Curse? He had never heard of it before.

However, regardless of whether he had heard of it or not, the only thing he knew was that if he continued like this, he would undoubtedly die.

“I understand, I understand. Expert, please let me off. Let me off.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon howled and begged Ye Ping to let him off.

At that moment, Ye Ping recited an incantation, and indeed, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon stopped feeling pain and was refreshed instead.

However, at that moment, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon suddenly struck again.

He wanted to kill Ye Ping.

He didn't believe in any supreme secret technique at all. He just wanted to kill Ye Ping and get out of this predicament.

“Ah!”

He shrieked like a pig that was getting slaughtered.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon felt the euphoric release of having his essence soul almost collapse as soon as he struck.

“Ah!”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon rolled on the ground and wept tearfully.

“I was wrong, I was wrong. Master, I was really wrong. I really just wanted to try.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon wailed loudly while on the ground. He was a Ghost King, and yet, he was bawling like a child and rolling around on the ground with tears all over his face.

Xia Qingmo, who was at the side, completely understood why demons were evil.

He actually sneaked an attack.

It was okay to take a loss once, but he had to suffer a second loss.

“You really deserve to die.”

If he didn't need to use the power of the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon, Ye Ping would have wanted him to die sooner.

'How dare he try to sneak up on me? If not for the divine effect of the Band Curse, I would have died.'

'This guy should die.'

“I was wrong, I was wrong. Expert, please let me off.”

“Girl, hurry up and persuade your husband. Please, let me go.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was weeping miserably. He really couldn't tolerate it anymore. He was just too upset.

“He is not my husband.”

“You do need to be punished.”

Xia Qingmo hurriedly explained, while also being somewhat hostile.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon did deserve to die as he was simply scheming and cunning.

“Ahhh, I'm dying, I'm dying.”

“I'm going to die, I'm going to die.”

“Woo-hoo!”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was lying on the ground and banging his head against the ground, looking like he was in real pain.

It was a mental misery, not physical. Mental pain was more than ten times as unbearable as that of physical pain.

For example, being struck by a rod might be very painful, but it would soon turn numb.

However, mental pain was like nerve pain that stemmed from a toothache. Being pricked by a needle would be excruciating.

At this moment, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was in so much pain that he began to doubt life.

A full 15 minutes passed.

Ye Ping made the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon feel pain for 15 minutes before chanting an incantation and letting it go back to normal.

The feeling of returning to normal made the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon breathe a sigh of relief.

He was lying on the ground like a dead dog, drenched in sweat, unable to move at all.

A Nascent Soul powerhouse actually ended up in such a state. His misery and pain were imaginable.

At this moment, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon no longer dared to go against Ye Ping. Although he was sinister and cunning, he was not a fool and he knew not to provoke Ye Ping.

After resting for a few minutes, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon recovered. However, he still had lingering fears and the thought of what happened made him shudder.

“Exalted Immortal, Exalted Immortal, please take this golden hoop away. Don't worry, I will never harm you, I can make a great oath.”

After recovering his vitality, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon looked at Ye Ping pitifully with a miserable expression.

“Benefactor, don't fall for it, this guy Is full of lies. If you really lift it, we might not really be able to go out.”

Xia Qingmo hurriedly spoke, afraid that Ye Ping would fall for his trick.

“Don't worry, I'm not that stupid.”

Ye Ping nodded. Release the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon? Unless he was in the Nascent Soul realm, he would be crazy if he let him off.

“You can't say that, girl. What do you mean full of lies? Since I appeared, have I ever lied to you?”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was displeased to hear her words. 'When did I lie?'

'I'm a person of my word.'

“I can't be bothered to talk to you.”

Xia Qingmo did not want to argue with the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon. She had already seen through him and knew that he was a chronic liar.

“Exalted Immortal, just let me go. I promise to behave well in the future. To be frank, if you keep me around you, it'd be bad for yourself.”

“Once the seal is lifted, I reckon the people will be coming here soon. When they see you with me, they may think that you are a heretic and harm you instead. Wouldn't that harm you?”

“How about you just release me and let me be outside by myself?”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon regretted, he regretted not killing Ye Ping earlier, and also regretted not letting Ye Ping off. If he had done so earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Now that he had to wear a golden hoop on his head, it was troublesome and he felt it was hideous.

“No more nonsense, the golden hoop will not be lifted, you will follow me from now on. I will slowly expiate your resentment and let you redeem yourself sooner.”

Ye Ping ignored the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon chattered on and on in a bid to make Ye Ping set him free.

When he was extremely annoyed by the noise, Ye Ping intended to recite the tight Band Curse, but the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon immediately shut up, for fear that he might have to suffer it again.

However, at this moment, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon's expression changed.

“So many Golden Core realm cultivators, and Nascent Soul realm cultivators too. Who have you offended?”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon's face was sullen.

'What do you mean?'

Ye Ping was a bit confused about what he meant.

“There are many people outside the grave. There are more than 20 Golden Core realm cultivators and three Nascent Soul cultivators, they all seem heretical.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon frowned.

“Can you beat them?”

Ye Ping asked.

“I could, but not anymore now.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon answered directly, but when he saw Ye Ping's frown, he couldn't help but hastily explain.

“Exalted Immortal, I'm really not lying to you, this golden hoop on my head is limiting my power. It might be reducing my resentment, but it's also weakening my power.”

“How about this? Exalted Immortal, remove the hoop and I'll deal with them for you.”

It was not clear whether these words of the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon were true or not.

Ye Ping couldn't determine, but he would never remove the golden hoop because it would be harder for him to put it on again.

“Let me tell you the truth, if I die, the golden hoop on your head will also kill you. Decide for yourself.”

Ye Ping was very straightforward. He would definitely not remove the golden hoop and he would die together with the Ghost King if he had to.

Indeed, after hearing those words, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon panicked.

“I can't beat them, let's run.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon grabbed Ye Ping and Xia Qingmo, and vanished without hesitation.

He was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he had some of his strength suppressed by the golden hoop, he could still teleport.

“To the south.”

Ye Ping said. The Qingyun Dao Sect was in the south.

It was not safe to go anywhere now, so he thought it was better to go back to the sect first.

“Excellent!”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon directly transported towards the south.

In an instant, it appeared 1,500 kilometers away.

That was the terrifying thing about a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. With a single thought, he could fly thousands of kilometers away using the Sword Kinesis Flight or Teleportation Array.

They were powerful existences who could summon thunder, destroy mountains, and ruin a nation.

Hence, the battle between Nascent Soul realm cultivators would often be restricted and attract attention.

About eighteen minutes passed.

Dozens of figures appeared.

They all belonged to the Fiendcelestial Cult.

They looked around and quickly discovered the clues.

“Damn, the Ghost King is out, the Tenth Princess of Great Xia Dynasty might have been eaten by the Ghost King.”

Someone spoke and looked at the stone tablet.

“Damn it, if the whereabouts of the Tenth Princess are unknown, we won't be able to answer and the king will definitely hold us liable.”

“Let's find the Ghost King, we must see the Tenth Princess regardless of whether she's dead or alive.”

“Yes.”

They started murmuring.

When they came here, the first thing they thought was that Xia Qingmo was buried here. After all, even they did not dare to oppose a Nascent Soul realm cultivator.

Less than an hour later, dozens of figures appeared again.

They were all Daoist Masters who were expiating resentful spirits and checking the situation. After discovering that the Ghost King had vanished, they looked extremely sullen.

Soon, the news spread all over Jin Nation and the high officials immediately found out what happened.

Almost without any nonsense, Jin Nation immediately issued an order for the five major military camps and the armies to search for the whereabouts of the Ghost King.

They couldn't let a Ghost King lurk outside. After all, hundreds of years ago, the Ghost King had already caused great damage to the Jin Nation. This time, it must have become stronger and it would be hard for the Jin Nation to suppress it.

At this moment, in the royal palace of Jin Nation.

The king of Jin Nation was in the hall and looking at the pill in Li Mocheng's hand in shock.

“Is there really a non-poisonous pill in this world?”

The king of Jin Nation gulped his saliva. As the king, he had experienced all sorts of things in life.

He had seen too much of the world, but when faced with the non-poisonous pill, he was utterly astonished.

In fact, just now, someone reported that the Ghost King of Linhe Ghost Grave had appeared and he didn't feel shocked at all.

It was all for non-poisonous pills.

“Your Majesty, this non-poisonous pill was personally refined by Ye Ping. Elder Xu Chang saw it with his own eyes, as well as other newly matriculated disciples. This is definitely real.”

Li Mocheng said seriously with a solemn expression.

“Can it be manufactured in bulk?”

The king of Jin Nation continued to ask.

“Theoretically, it is possible. But according to Ye Ping, refining non-poisonous pills requires pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth. So, refining pills do not require any medicinal herbs, but a large amount of Spirit Stones are needed to allow the alchemist to continuously recover his Dharmic powers. You can also guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine pills.”

“Secondly, a Foundation Establishment realm alchemist can only refine a hundred Qi and Blood pills in a day.”

Li Mocheng informed them of the gist of it.

After hearing his words, a trace of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the king of the Jin Nation.

It wasn't actually mass production even though the pills could be produced in large amounts. Foundation Establishment alchemists were not considered very rare, but to Jin Nation, they were not considered many.

A Foundation Establishment alchemist could refine 100 non-poisonous Qi and Blood pills a day, and even though there were 10,000 Foundation Establishment realm alchemists, the pills they refined would barely be enough to maintain the demand of the entire Jin Nation.

However, it would be hard to gather 10,000 Foundation Establishment realm alchemists and to refine such pills, one must be a true cultivator of Jin Nation and not other sects.

Otherwise, once the news got out, the Great Xia Dynasty would deal with it before the other four major dynasties did.

Thinking of this, the king of Jin Nation rapidly brainstormed to come up with a solution to get the greatest benefit for the Jin Nation.

Eventually, the king of Jin Nation came up with something.

“Is Ye Ping willing to hand over that technique?”

The king of Jin Nation asked.

“Ye Ping said that he had to ask his Senior Brother, and if his Senior Brother is willing to hand it over, he will give it to us.”

Li Mocheng said.

However, after that, he continued, “I heard that Ye Ping and the crown prince are close to each other. Why don't we ask the crown prince to talk to him about it? After all, no one would be willing to give something like that away for free.”

“However, the crown prince is different, it is said that he is Ye Ping's disciple. It'd be normal for a master to impart some skills to his disciple. Besides, the crown prince will be attending the grand ceremony in the future. If the Jin Nation is powerful, Ye Ping will benefit too. What do you think?”

Li Mocheng knew about Ye Ping and Li Yu, so he proposed such an idea.

“Yes, that's feasible.”

“I didn't expect my incompetent prince to be able to acknowledge such a strange person as his master. That's good too. Academy Master, I plan to hand over this alchemy method to the Great Xia Dynasty, what do you think?”

The king of Jin Nation nodded. It was the first time he praised Li Yu in front of outsiders.

“I will respect your wishes.”

Hearing the words of the king of the Jin Nation, Li Mocheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't seem surprised. He would be nervous if the king of Jin Nation wanted to monopolize the alchemy method.

The alchemy method involved too many things. If the Jin Nation wanted to monopolize it, it would be difficult. Once the news got out, the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely punish them.

Before the complete rise of Jin Nation, the Great Xia Dynasty would be a behemoth. A single thought of the king of the Great Xia Dynasty would be enough to kill ten Jin Nations.

Li Mocheng knew how terrifying the Great Xia Dynasty was.

More than three hundred countries combined would only have a tenth of the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty. That was how terrifying the dynasty was. Others could not imagine that strength at all.

Hence, even if the formula for the non-poisonous pill was handed over to the Great Xia Dynasty, they would get praised by the Great Xia Dynasty and they would be able to be free from the responsibility of the Tenth Princess.

For the Jin Nation, there would only be benefits.

It might even be possible for the Jin Nation to become the best of the Ten Nations because of it.

As long as the Great Xia Dynasty was willing to support it, it would not be difficult at all for Jin Nation to be the best of the Ten Nations.

“That's good, tomorrow I will personally go to the Great Xia Dynasty. However, before I return, you must guard the academy. This matter must not be spread at all. If necessary, erase the memories of those disciples.”

“There are definitely spies in the Jin Nation Academy and this matter is not to be necessary, erase the memories of those disciples. Once the news gets out, it would lead to a major disaster. Academy Master, do you understand?”

The king of Jin Nation understood even better the significance of the non-poisonous pill.

It was better to erase the disciples' memories and cause damage to their essence soul than let them spread the word.

“Yes! Please rest assured, King.”

Li Mocheng nodded and bowed with a Dao salute.

“Okay, go back.”

The king of Jin Nation nodded. The hall then fell silent.

At the same time, three figures appeared quietly in

Baiyun Ancient City.
