The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

The specter was stunned, and it cursed in frustration, “God damn it, did I desecrate your ancestors’ graves or something? Why are you fortifying yourself against me like this?”

It was indignant, wishing it could tear this young man to shreds. If there were only one or two exorcism charms on him, it would have had a chance to rush over.

However, now the young man was covered with exorcism charms. The pure Yang Qi they radiated after being activated was like a dazzling sun that kept the specter from approaching. Forceful attempts to do so would only damage his divine soul.

Since possession was hopeless, it could only choose to return to its paper man avatar. However, turning around, it found that the paper man was gone.

It glanced around and suddenly found someone who looked exactly like Lin Yi, standing beside the green python, holding its paper man.

“Sorry, I also know the Divine Shadow Dharma.” Lin Yi smiled. When he perceived the fuzzy shadow leaving the paper man, he released his shadow that was also hidden.

He then materialized slowly beside the paper man and took it in hand.

“The second layer of the Divine Shadow Dharma, this can’t be, absolutely cannot be. How could you have cultivated to the second layer in such a short time?” The fuzzy specter gradually materialized, his face showing deep shock.

It wanted to return to the last trapped shadow, but a green light shot out from the green python’s eyes again, freezing it in place.

“Senior Spirit Beast, please return the jar to me.” Lin Yi spoke to the green python. He had killed nine Xuan Yin Sect cultivators, three of whom carried jar-carrying seeds.

After he exorcised the evil spirits in the jars, he kept the jars. After some research, he learned that these jars were supreme-grade spiritual artifacts, which could be used to seal evil spirits.

The green python spat out a storage bag from its mouth and flew it to him.

Lin Yi took the storage bag and pulled out a jar from it. He directed the mouth of the jar at the immobilized fuzzy figure, a short old man with a sinister look on his face, who clearly wasn’t a good guy.

He ignited his spiritual power, producing a great suction force in the jar, and the specter was sucked in uncontrollably.

“Kid, release me! I can teach you the Divine Shadow Dharma, and how to make paper men!” The specter suddenly panicked, shouting loudly.

Lin Yi just smiled, “You deceived your disciple to no end, I wouldn’t dare trust you.”

Once the fuzzy figure was completely sucked in, he sealed the jar and placed dozens of exorcism charms on it.

He retracted his shadow and held the paper man, looking like a harmless man in hand. This time there should be no danger, so he stored it in the storage bag.

Looking at the still frozen shadow of the paper man, Lin Yi released a Thunder Spell, turning the shadow into smoke under the might of thunder and lightning.

The shadow formed by the Divine Shadow Dharma, once it ran out of spiritual power or took too much damage, would turn into smoke and cease to exist, requiring reassembly.

This was just a technique for escape, not a real secret technique for avatar creation.

As for the escaped shadow, there was no need to worry, without control from the main body, it was as immobile as a wooden man. It wouldn’t be long before it ran out of spiritual power and turned into smoke.

“Thank you, Senior Spirit Beast, for your help.” Lin Yi gave a deep bow to the green python.

The green python gave no reaction, continuing to curl its body. But in its mind, it felt somewhat puzzled. The boy seemed to have become more agreeable in just a few days, which was why it had helped.

Then, he put the jar in front of the green python, “Senior, could you please keep an eye on this jar for me?”

The Flower Thief’s master had many tricks up his sleeve. If he still had a corporeal body, he would surely have even more ways to escape. Lin Yi had kept him alive in order to learn more about Divine Shadow Dharma and paper man making from him in the future.

He believed that the book on paper man making obtained from the Flower Thief must have some errors. No one would casually teach such a unique skill to others.

The green giant python slapped the ground with its tail, creating a pit in the small open space. It gestured lightly towards the pit.

Lin Yi hastily placed the jar into the pit and then filled the pit with soil.

Then, he took out the Spirit Pet Bag and released Zhi Ling from the system’s Spirit Pet Column.

Zhi Ling raised her little paw, making several chirping noises. She seemed quite unhappy about Lin Yi putting her away without warning, expressing her protest.

“Senior Spirit Beast, I am going to refine some pills now. Could you please help me look after this little fellow?” Lin Yi patted Zhi Lings head and said to the green giant python, bowing his fist.

Zhi Ling immediately clung to Lin Yi’s thigh with her paw, chirping loudly and putting on a pitiful expression.

The green giant python looked at Zhi Ling, and with a gentle suck from its mouth, Zhi Ling was drawn over. Zhi Ling both flew uncontrollably and made noises similar to a pig being slaughtered.

“Thank you, senior. I’ll come back in four days,” Lin Yi thanked and then placed some food on the table. He then waved his hand to Zhi Ling. “Zhi Ling, follow the senior and learn well.’

After saying that, he used the Teleportation Mantra and arrived at the Alchemy Room in the fire attribute area. There was no volcanic eruption at this time, and everything seemed peaceful.

Not far away, the thatched hut still stood. He assumed that this might just be the illusion created by the formation. Once he entered it, he would be transported to the real Alchemy Room.

Of course, it was also possible that this was the actual Alchemy Room, and the place where he had entered during the alchemy test was merely a place for refining pills that the Elder Dan God had opened in the volcano.

Lin Yi slowly stepped into the range of the thatched hut. As he approached the Alchemy Room, the surroundings changed, just like the last time.

He once again found himself in the same cave, with only a solitary Alchemy Furnace placed there, and nothing else.

If the thatched hut was the true Alchemy Room, he might not be qualified to enter under his current status as a testee.

Upon arriving at the Alchemy Room, Lin Yi didn’t waste any more time. He sat before the furnace, took out the Spirit Grass he had brought with him, and began to refine some pills for the Qi Refining Realm.

He chose the Gathering Qi Pills with the highest success rate. These pills were quick and relatively simple to refine. First, he would elevate his Primary Alchemy Skills to Great Perfection, and then he would refine other pills.

For him, he had refined this kind of pill countless times and was extremely proficient in the process.

Before starting the pill refinement, Lin Yi put on the [Alchemy Novice] title, as well as the [Training Expert] title. The former could increase the success rate, quality, and speed of pill refining. The latter could grant a bonus to the speed at which spells and skills could be improved.

Now, with a 50% bonus, every time he completed a pill refinement, it would be equivalent to gaining 1.5 experience points.

During these four days, he didn’t take any rest and devoted all his time to pill refining.

The Pill Furnace provided by the Elder Dan God was a Medium Grade Spiritual

Artifact. In the outside world, just this Furnace would cost hundreds of Medium Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to several tens of thousands of Lower-grade Spirit Stones.

With such a Spirit Furnace and Earth Core Fire, both the speed and success rate of pill refining had greatly increased.

After spending four and a half days here, Lin Yi left the fire attribute area. His primary alchemy skills had also been promoted from Great Perfection to Grandmaster Level. With a thousand more successful pill refinements, he could smoothly upgrade to the Great Perfection.

After returning to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, he did not attempt to teleport into the garden. Firstly, there was no point going in right now, as he couldn’t pick any Spirit Grass.

The second reason was that to teleport into the garden, he needed to be in the same location as it, meaning he needed to fly. Although he was now a testee of the Dan God’s inheritance, the monster beasts in the Secret Realm would still attack him.

For the half-day left, he decided to try splitting his divine sense and infusing it into the paper man resembling a fair man to see if he could control it.

If he could control it, he would have an additional Paper Man Avatar in the future..
