61: I teach you how to practice magic skills, but how come you become more holy the more you practice?

When Li Yan pushed open the box, the Magic Eye lay quietly within the treasure chest.

The moment it came into contact with a person, the Magic Eye emitted a charming purple demonic light.

The Magic Eye was like a deep vortex, or a black hole, as if it wanted to suck one's Soul into it.

When Li Yan first saw the Magic Eye, he only felt a little dizzy, like the feeling of seasickness.

Until the System sounded.

“Detected that this evil object carries a 'mind-reading' side effect. Currently reversing the side effect for the Host!”

“Effect reversed. You can read the thoughts of this evil object, and at the same time absorb the Evil Qi emitted by the Magic Eye, converting it into Cultivation.”

When the side effect was activated, a calm female voice rang out in Li Yan's mind.

“Strange, why can't I read this young man's thoughts?”

As the voice sounded, a storm raged in Li Yan's heart, but his expression remained calm.

The Magic Eye in the box actually had consciousness?

Could it be that the Soul of an ancient Cultivator was residing in this Magic Eye?

Li Yan had a bold guess in his heart: although ancient Cultivators had already become extinct, they had opened up thousands of Cultivation Daos, and their Cultivation Technique scriptures were as vast as the sea, leaving behind a large number of ancient texts and Secret Realms.

Did those famous powerhouses in Immortal history only leave behind some tombstones?

There must still be some ancient Cultivators, either buried deep underground, or hiding somewhere, barely clinging to life.

And in the Magic Eye in front of Li Yan, there must be an ancient powerhouse hiding.

To have survived from ancient times to the Age of Demise, the Senior residing in this Magic Eye must be an outstanding figure from the previous era.

At this moment, Li Yan had a plan in mind, deciding to respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.

First, he would eavesdrop on the Magic Eye's thoughts to see what she wanted to do.

Li Yan could only pretend to pick up the Magic Eye, putting on an excited expression.

“This treasure is extraordinary.”

The Magic Eye saw Li Yan playing with her in his hand, and she sneered inwardly.

“The so-called ancient Magic Eye is merely this Venerable One's eyeball.”

“Cultivators of the Age of Demise truly haven't seen the world.”

This purple-glowing treasure bead in Li Yan's hand was actually the eyeball of an ancient powerhouse?

Although he had already guessed it, he still found it very novel when he got the answer from the other party's mouth.

He began to feign ignorance, muttering, “How should this Magic Eye be used to activate its effects? Hmm, should it be embedded in a Magical Artifact?”

The woman in the Magic Eye was amused by Li Yan again.

“How dare he use this Venerable One's eye to embed it in his broken metal?”

“If he knew that what he held in his hand was the eyeball of a Great Ascension Stage Immortal, he would probably wet his pants, right?”

Eavesdropping on this Senior's thoughts, Li Yan chuckled inwardly.

Wetting his pants was not likely; he was immune to side effects, so it was still uncertain who would scare whom!

Although the other party was a Great Ascension Stage Immortal, an Immortal from ancient times.

But now she could only reside in an eyeball, and the side effects she released couldn't harm Li Yan.

And just then, the Senior in the Magic Eye noticed the treasure lotus lamp Li Yan had placed on the table.

“blood glass treasure lotus lantern?”

“It's actually a Sacred Artifact of the ancient Demonic Sect. Could this kid be a tomb-raiding Cultivator skilled in finding graves?”

“To have such Cultivation at such a young age, and to have found a Demonic Sect Sacred Artifact, it seems I underestimated him.”

“It's a pity this blood glass treasure lotus lantern hasn't been activated and can't unleash its full power. What a shame.”

Li Yan remained silent, eavesdropping on the ancient Cultivator's thoughts.

It seemed this person's identity was not simple; her knowledge was vast. She truly was a Prodigy who survived from the Age of Immortals to the Age of Demise.

Soon, the female Cultivator's question echoed in Li Yan's mind.

“Strange, this Venerable One can't use mind-reading on him? And he's actually absorbing my Evil Qi?”

“Could it be... he's a Bright Lamp Sacred Body, immune to Evil Qi, and his thoughts can't be eavesdropped on? That would be too troublesome.”

“I still wanted to take him as a disciple and have him find Heaven And Earth Treasure to reconstruct my Physical Body.”

“I can't interfere with his thoughts, nor can I make him my puppet...”

The ancient female Immortal within the Magic Eye began to rack her brains.

She had to control Li Yan to make him help her reconstruct her Physical Body.

But this first step had already failed; this young man was immune to Evil Qi erosion and mind-reading.

After much thought, the Magic Eye Fairy quickly had an idea.

“Impart the Underworld Body Forging Cultivation Technique to him, let him Cultivate the Demonic Technique, and suppress the Bright Lamp Sacred Body!”

“After this kid Cultivates the demonic path, he will inevitably become this Venerable One's servant in pursuit of power.”

“Heh, meeting this Venerable One is also your fortune; I bestow upon you the Immortal Art of longevity!”

As she thought this, the Magic Eye projected several lines of ancient Immortal seal characters onto the table.

Although Li Yan couldn't understand them, he understood the spell formula from the Magic Eye Fairy's thoughts.

“Blood prison as guide, skin tempering first. Yin Qi enters the body, blood patterns appear.”

“Bone prison refines bones, marrow sea hides Evil, organs absorb demons, Soul prison tempers the heart.”

“Underworld extreme Dao, all methods return to the Underworld. Heaven and Earth fear together, myriad realms sink.”

Seeing these words on the table, Li Yan put on a shocked expression.

“What is this!?”

“Could it be an ancient Demonic Technique hidden in the gem?”

“Such an Immortal Art, coupled with the Evil Qi here, the Immortal Dao is within my reach!”

This place was deep underground, with Evil Qi emanating from the Magic Eye nearby.

This Gu Cavern was an extremely Yin place, capable of absorbing the Netherworld Yin Qi seeping from underground.

Li Yan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to Cultivate, thereby absorbing the dense Yin Qi from the cavern.

The Fairy in the Magic Eye, seeing that Li Yan truly Cultivated the Cultivation Technique she had given him, could barely suppress her joy.

“Indeed!”

“No one can resist the temptation of ancient Immortal Arts. This young man is too obsessed with and craves power; he's a good seedling for the Demonic Sect!”

“He can't even resist a little temptation, perfect for my use.”

“This Venerable One will lend you a hand to accelerate your Cultivation speed!”

A dense aura of death emanated from the Magic Eye, and a dark purple aura began to envelop Li Yan.

Li Yan, who was Cultivating with his eyes closed and legs crossed, began to feel an unprecedented pleasure.

The remnant Soul of a Great Ascension Stage Fairy was assisting him in his Cultivation; was there such a good thing in the world?

As Li Yan recited the incantation and absorbed the Evil Qi and Yin Qi, the System within him was also activated.

“Detected that the Host is Cultivating the ancient Demonic Technique 'Underworld Body Forging,' with extremely great side effects!”

“Side effect: At the cost of overdrawing one's Dantian, Cultivating this Demonic Technique will require devouring other Cultivators to replenish losses.”

“Side effect reversed: 'Underworld Body Forging' transformed into 'Pure Prison Golden Body.' The Host will use Yin Qi to temper the Dantian, forging a Golden Body with flesh and blood, achieving Physical Body Sainthood!”

Li Yan, surrounded by Devilish Qi, began to emit a golden light all over his body.

Seeing this scene, the Fairy in the Magic Eye was completely bewildered.

“No? What this Venerable One gave was blood Evil Qi, and what I taught was a Demonic Technique. How did he become more sacred the more he Cultivated?”

“This isn't right, is it?”
