Chapter 110: Dual Cultivation of Buddha and Demon

Outside.

Zhang Hu and Gao Sheng looked at Lin Jing, who was sitting in meditation. Only a few minutes had passed, and the two were surprised to find that faint golden light began to suffuse his body. The whole person was incomparably sacred, as if shrouded in Buddha light.

"Buddha nature!"

Seeing this, Zhang Hu was very surprised: "It hasn't even been a stick of incense, and he has already condensed a Buddha bead? This Buddhist cultivation talent is indeed exaggerated. I don't know which Buddhist powerhouse enlightened Young Master Lin."

"Cultivated successfully?" Gao Sheng was stunned, thought for a moment, and said: "I seem to know who it is. Perhaps it is Master Kong Lin, a Buddhist powerhouse who joined the Demon Suppression Division for a period of time thousands of years ago. He once sealed an immortal rare beast in the Wilderness Domain. He has already returned to the Western Desert and has had no news for a long time. I don't know if he is still alive."

"If he is alive, his cultivation must have reached a very terrifying level."

Nascent Soul lifespan is one thousand years, Deity Transformation lifespan is two thousand years, Ancestor Kong Xuan stage lifespan is five thousand years, Questioning Dao stage lifespan is ten thousand years!

Gao Sheng calculated that if the other party's final cultivation was at the Deity Transformation stage, then he estimated he was already dead. If he successfully broke through to the Ancestor Kong Xuan stage, then he might still be alive.

After thinking, he looked at Lin Jing with incomparable envy. This guy, Longevity Body... his lifespan at the Nascent Soul stage could be comparable to the strongest in this continent, which was truly enviable.

While the two were exchanging sound transmissions, Lin Jing had already opened his eyes, with golden light flickering in his pupils

"The Buddha bead has already condensed." He spoke slowly.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Gao Sheng hurriedly laughed, but looking at Lin Jing, who was continuously glowing, he scratched his head and said: "But isn't your talent for Buddha cultivation a bit too good? How come it feels like you haven't done anything, yet your Buddha nature is still increasing?"

Lin Jing was silent, sensing his body. How could he have done nothing?

The power flowing from the Ice Soul Gu sealed within his body originally required him to use his Ice Soul Body to neutralize it, bearing the burden himself. But now, this condensed Buddha bead was automatically absorbing and sealing the power of the Ice Soul Gu.

The Ice Soul Gu was blood-refined from countless poisonous insects using Gu arts, and the process likely involved many unscrupulous refining methods, so it was perfectly normal for the Buddha bead to judge it as demonic power.

But in this way, since he was using the Buddha bead to seal his own Ice Soul Gu power, wouldn't he be able to gain supreme Buddha nature and boundless merit without having to do anything at all?

"It's your imagination." Lin Jing said. Doesn't Gao Sheng like to deduce things?

Gao Sheng knows that he has an Ice Soul Gu sealed within him; it shouldn't be hard for him to deduce that he is already sealing demons with his own body.

This Buddha-Demon Bead was extremely compatible with him.

"Is that so?" Gao Sheng rubbed his chin. Just then, the Demon-Eliminating Guard Zhang Hu spoke up: "Since you have successfully cultivated it, do you want to execute a death-row prisoner now to test the power of the Buddha bead?"

"I'll have to trouble you, Senior Zhang." Lin Jing bowed, wishing he could execute a hundred people right now and then go ask Senior Shen Song for pinecones.

Executing a death-row prisoner is also killing; Senior Shen Song couldn't possibly go back on his word then, right?

Lin Jing was led by Zhang Hu outside the deeper-level execution rooms.

The surrounding guards saw Zhang Hu and Lin Jing and continued to stand guard with expressionless faces. Zhang Hu held a high position here, so they passed through without obstruction.

"The demonic cultivator imprisoned in Execution Room No. 19 is the one to be executed today."

"Yinshi Sect? Gushen Sect? Netherworld Palace? Which demonic sect does this cultivator come from?" Lin Jing asked curiously.

Zhang Hu, standing beside him, shook his head: "It's not easy to catch that many demonic cultivators from the three major demonic sects; it's none of those."

"This person was originally a Foundation Establishment perfection-stage Elder of the 'Tianhe Sect'. Due to his own aptitude, he had no hope of forming a Golden Core. I don't know where he got the 'Blood Pill Great Art' of the already destroyed Blood God Sect, which requires the heart blood of a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, a thousand Qi Refining cultivators, and ten thousand mortals to cultivate."

"He set his sights on rogue cultivators, wandering through various cities and secretly harming them. Before he was arrested, he had already killed countless people and had deep sins on his hands."

"He certainly deserves to die." Lin Jing frowned: "Senior Zhang, can I just go in directly?"

He looked at the stone prison door with a divine tiger pattern.

"The demonic cultivator's spiritual power is now exhausted, and he is locked on the execution platform. No matter what means you use, just kill him."

"Afterward, throw him along with his corpse into the furnace connected to the back of the execution room."

Lin Jing nodded, pushed open the prison doors one by one, and finally, in the dimly lit execution room, saw a red-haired old man locked to the execution platform by iron chains.

As Lin Jing entered, the red-haired old man's closed eyes slowly opened, and his dead, silent gaze turned toward Lin Jing.

Boom!

A strong murderous aura surged toward Lin Jing. Although it contained no spiritual power, it still made Lin Jing feel as if he were seeing layers of blood shadows.

"To actually let a Qi Refining brat execute this old..." He spoke weakly, but before he could finish, his head flew off, and two white spider threads twisted around his severed neck.

The head on the ground stared with eyes wide open, dying with grievances.

Lin Jing met its gaze; it was his first time killing someone, yet he felt no discomfort at all.

The next moment, in the dark, Lin Jing felt a sense of resentment wrapping around his body. This kind of resentment was invisible and colorless; if it were only a small amount, it would not cause any impact on a cultivator.

However, if it accumulated in a large quantity, it might cause the cultivator to develop inner demons at a critical moment, affecting their state of mind.

"I'm just an executioner, why are you resenting me?"

After sealing the resentment with the Buddha bead, Lin Jing flicked his hand, and the thread of true qi condensed into a bead, throwing the person's corpse into the furnace in the execution room.

Having killed the person cleanly and efficiently, Lin Jing did not stay in the execution room for too long.

"How does it feel?" After he walked out of the execution room, Zhang Hu, who was waiting outside, asked.

"Not bad, no discomfort." Lin Jing smiled. For some reason, killing this person actually made him feel very refreshed.

"That's good." Zhang Hu said: "Since that's the case, how about I arrange one death-row prisoner for you every seven days from now on?"

"One every seven days? Senior Zhang, can you arrange seven for me in one day?" Lin Jing was worried; one every seven days would take two years to meet Senior Shen Song's requirements.

Zhang Hu:?

"Seven a day? Do you think this is a slaughterhouse?" He said with annoyance.

Lin Jing was also quite helpless.

He was already twenty-seven years old now.

Although for a Longevity Body, that was very young.

But the condition for entering the Heaven's Pride List (Human List) was for cultivators under thirty.

That is to say, he must help the Pine-Leaf Rat succeed in Foundation Establishment within three years and try to challenge the Heaven's Pride Human List.

He had spent three years in seclusion, refining his alchemy attainments, all to help the Pine-Leaf Rat achieve perfect Foundation Establishment and complete its bloodline evolution, thereby gaining the qualifications to challenge the Heaven's Pride List.

If he missed the Heaven's Pride List, a promotional tool known across the continent, the progress of his Hidden Dragon Secret Art would be greatly restricted, and the Long Li would also be unable to transform into a dragon more perfectly.

In the end, after Lin Jing's bargaining, it became one execution per day, and it would take about three months for him to complete the task assigned by Senior Shen Song.

When Lin Jing came out of the Immortal Prison, Shen Song, who was observing in secret, snorted.

"A slippery little brat, but never mind..."

"Burning, killing, looting—he's learned to burn, and he's tried killing. As a demonic cultivator, he can't be bad at looting! Next time he wants to ask me for help, I'll make him go rob others! Every time he fights, he has no spoils of war and even gives others elixirs; he has nothing but consumption. No wonder he's poor, and it's a waste of that squirrel's spatial talent!"
