"That old man only takes one disciple. If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to bring them up with me!" Elijah said in the end.


    "Elijah, aren''t you going?" Katherine asked with courage, and the others also stared at Elijah closely.


    "Me? I haven''t decided yet! I need to study the demonic cultivator''s technique first. If any of you want to go, let me know first!" Elijah replied.


    The women let out a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this but didn''tpletely rx.


    Azure Isle''s current stability and their peaceful lives werergely thanks to Elijah.


    If he left, they truly didn''t know what to do in the future!


    Fortunately, Elijah had not made a final decision yet.


    None of the women voiced their own desire to go, and after some more discussion, they each went their separate ways.


    Elijah didn''t seek anyone out that night. Instead, he returned to his room to continue studying the jade slip.


    He mentioned that he wasn''t sure about following the old man for a reason. During his study of the jade slip, he made a new discovery.


    ording to the jade slip, the demonic cultivator practiced a technique called the Demon Evil Art.


    It involves absorbing the dark Chi of heaven and earth to refine the body and Chi, condense the Yin Pill, and ultimately form the Nascent Soul.


    This method can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage.


    The characteristic of this technique is that it is extremely fast in progress.


    Unlike orthodox methods, which advance gradually with significant effort at each critical stage (e.g., from Chi Refinement to Foundation Establishment, and from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core), requiring great insight and fortune to break through, this technique is much quicker.


    This technique allows for easy breakthroughs in realms as long as there is enough dark Chi.


    However, while it sounds appealing, it is actually very difficult because Earth Fiend Yin Veins are not easy to find.


    Some of these veins are materials for important pills; for example, the Foundation Establishment Pill requires a type of Earth Fiend Yin Chi.


    Once these Earth Fiend Yin Veins are discovered, they are fiercely contested, so those who practice this technique are often demonic cultivators.


    The more people one kills, the more one is associated with the demonic path, even if they were not originally a demonic cultivator.


    Since Earth Fiend Yin Veins are rare treasures, some demonic cultivators have taken a different path, opting to practice corpse Chi cultivation and condense Corpse Pills.


    Corpse Chi is also a type of dark Chi and is not difficult to find, as long as there are corpses.


    The cultivation speed is simrly fast, but it requires more killing.


    The higher the cultivation level of the deceased, the better the effect, which leads to even greater condemnation.


    The only drawback is that the Corpse Pills produced are of poor quality, only reaching up to the Golden Core stage.


    In contrast, the Yin Pills condensed from Earth Fiend Yin Veins are of higher quality, greatly aiding in the formation of the Nascent Soul.


    However, demonic cultivators are not concerned about this.


    Achieving the Golden Core stage is already a significant aplishment, and with the fast cultivation speed, many eagerly pursue it.


    The demonic cultivator killed by the old man was one such case.


    If Elijah practiced the Corpse Pill method, he would avoid the trouble of being hunted and would even be thanked, as this world is currently overflowing with zombies.


    If there were no better cultivation methods, Elijah might indeed have practiced the Corpse Pill method.


    But in this world, geniuses are plentiful!


    Just as there were demonic cultivators who discovered the Corpse Pill method, there were also high-level demonic experts who found better methods.


    ording to the description from the deceased demonic cultivator, he only obtained this method after reaching the Golden Core stage, and he regretted not discovering it sooner.


    He even considered dispersing his skills to start anew!


    Unfortunately, dispersing one''s skillses with a high cost, and he was not confident in mastering the new method.


    Thus, he only recorded the method in the jade slip, with annotations expressing regret toote.


    This new method is called the Spiritual Pill Method. The so-called Spiritual Pill is a pill condensed from the purest soul power of living beings.


    Soul power is one of the most outstanding creations between heaven and earth,parable to the pure dark Chi formed naturally.


    Spiritual Pills, produced using soul power, are even stronger than Yin Pills and are considered the highest-grade Golden Pills, greatly increasing the chances of forming the Nascent Soul.


    While the Spiritual Pill Method seems to offer many benefits, and it involves only killing, the reason why demonic cultivators practice the Corpse Pill Method instead of the Spiritual Pill Method is revealed in theter annotations of the demonic cultivator.


    Elijah initially had doubts but understood after reading further.


    The so-called soul epasses a person''s memories and extreme emotions.


    Even after death, these cannot bepletely erased, which is also the reason for the existence of vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts.


    To cultivate using soul power, one mustpletely eradicate the mixed memories and emotions within the soul.


    Otherwise, the practitioner might suffer from memory disorder, inability to distinguish self, and ultimately fall into madness.


    In severe cases, they might face heart demons, and if they cannot ovee them, they will explode and die, with both body and soul perishing!


    Thus, using soul power for cultivation is an extremely dangerous method.


    However, what makes a master a master is their willingness to venture where others dare not.


    Under the Spiritual Pill Method, they developed the Corpse Pill Method and, using ancient witchcraft, created a special type of corpse Chi.


    This corpse Chi can be transmitted from person to person, causing infection.


    Those affected by the corpse Chi do not die immediately but lose their sanity and be highly aggressive.


    However, they are not considered alive since they have lost their souls.


    Their souls are gathered by the corpse Chi in the area near the back of their heads, forming a Corpse Core that contains corpse poison.
