Sharing Tamed Beasts' Talents for Eternal Life

Chapter 18: Absorbing a Million People's Qi

They did not know that He Qingge had already been here. After all, they did not expect He Qingge to ride a horse and use the Body Lifting Talisman and the Divine Strider Talisman to travel quickly.

Zhang Jianchi thought he had brought this group of people over at full speed.

As for searching for He Qingge on the road, it would only waste more time. There were several roads from the Tian Xuan Sect to Beacon City.

It was better to come directly to this destination and wait here. It was more cost-effective.

Moreover, there were still strange phenomena in the city, which meant that He Qingge had not dealt with this matter.

He Qingge's mission had not been completed, so it was impossible for him to return so easily.

He Qingge was in closed-door cultivation in the inn. He paid a year's worth of money in one go so that they would not disturb him.

Gold and silver in the mortal world were cheap for cultivators like them.

No matter how much it cost, He Qingge would not feel the pinch.

Although He Qingge was trapped in the small town and could not leave, he did not realize that ordinary people did not seem to be hindered.

After all, he had been in seclusion in the inn and did not plan on going out.

The mission that He Qingge received was not without a time limit. He had to complete the mission within two months.

If he did not complete it by then and he did not return, the sect would probably investigate.

He Qingge was prepared to support himself for two to three months while he improved his strength.

Since he had no way to return, he could only wait for the sect to rescue him.

At least he had not been hurt so far.

Half a month had passed, and He Qingge's strength had improved slightly, but he still had not broken through.

He did not sleep for half a month and kept cultivating. He was afraid that once he slept, he would enter a dream and lose control of himself. That feeling was really too powerless.

Feeling the increase in his strength, He Qingge smiled.

He went through half a month peacefully. He did not have any dreams or encounter anything bad. It could be said that if he did not know that this place was a little strange, he really would not feel that there was any danger.

Soon, he found that a wisp of his Qi was flying into a void uncontrollably.

Immortal cultivators were very sensitive to the control of their own state. Naturally, they could not let their Qi leak out.

It seemed that the peaceful days had passed.

He Qingge was actually a little uncertain about his current situation.

He did not know if he was in an illusion, if the city was enveloped by an array, or if it was some other thing.

He Qingge had never learned anything related to arrays, so he lacked a basic understanding of these things.

The loss of his Qi immediately reminded He Qingge of the people he had seen in Beacon City. Their faces were all ashen.

At that time, he was still surprised, but now, he felt that it should be the effect of losing Qi.

Those people's condition was quite bad, which meant they must have lost a lot of their Qi.

In other words, whether it was an illusion or an array, it was harvesting the Qi of everyone in the entire city.

However, the amount absorbed each time was rarely a sustainable harvest. It gave the people a chance to catch their breath, so it was really quite a bold plan.

To be able to make such a bold move, one could basically conclude that the person behind it was a demonic cultivator.

He Qingge's scalp went numb when he thought about the millions of people in Beacon City being harvested to increase the other party's strength.

The quality was not enough to make up for the loss in quantity. However, this place would probably become a dead city after a long time. After a certain period of time, the Qi of all the people here would definitely be completely harvested.

He Qingge circulated the spiritual power in his body with all his might to prevent his Qi from being sucked away.

Fortunately, the absorption power was not very strong, and ordinary people could not detect it.

It made sense. There were millions of people in the entire city. It was impossible for the power that was absorbing millions of people's Qi to be very powerful.

Ordinary people would not be able to notice this, but martial artists with strong vitality should be able to.
