"Gu refining is the seventh evil."

Without meaning to, Shen Xu remembered the Gu worm they removed from Dongfang Jing's body.

At the same time, he recalled love Gu and other types of Gu worms mentioned in the original book.

'Terrible.' He thought and subconsciously shuddered.

"I have read about medicine Gu in an ancient book. Does the Ten Evils sect have those?" Li Wenqiang asked, but Feng Xue shook her head.

"History books record more than ten thousand types of Gu worms. However, most are now extinct. Even the Ten Evils sect only has fewer than ten types of Gu worms."

"That said, the Ten Evils sect has a level nine Gu Worm. It's said the sect once used the Gu Worm to control a sect master, causing the annihilation of a righteous sect."

"Scary!" Shen Xu muttered, and everyone agreed.

For them, one-on-one fights were not scary, but things like Gu worms were hard to guard against.

"Gu worms are scary, but the eighth evil is even more so." Feng Xue said with a solemn expression.

"What is it?" Shen Xu urged.

"Curse refining."

"Curse refining? Are there sorcerers in the cultivation world?" The double asked in a confused voice.

"A few." Feng Xue answered.

Sorcery was an ancient art that was almost lost even in the immortal world.

Generally, sorcerers used sacrifices and rituals to place curses on unsuspecting people. Even more horrifying, unless diagnosed by a sorcerer, curses were almost impossible to detect and often manifested as diseases and injuries.

Fortunately, placing a curse wasn't easy, and the sorcerer paid a heavy price for every curse. Otherwise, sorcerers would have long ruled the Tianxuan continent.

"I suddenly feel the Tianxuan continent is a scary place." Yang Shi said, but had an excited expression.

Seeing this, Feng Xue rolled her eyes and continued.

"The ninth evil is death refining and the tenth is yin babies."

"What is death refining and what are yin babies?" Shen Xu asked.

"Death refining is the practice of cultivating death qi. Like blood refiners, death refiners often slaughter villages to increase the density of death qi in the surrounding atmosphere."

"As for yin babies…" Feng Xue paused, looking a little uncomfortable.

"Yin babies are born from pregnant corpses. They are born with a yin physique and are very powerful. Most importantly, they are extremely loyal to their refiners and will protect them at all costs."

"Pregnant corpses…" Shen Xu paled, and an unwelcome image flashed in his mind.

"Don't tell me Yin baby refiners are habitual rapists? They rape, impregnate, and kill for the sake of refining yin babies?" He asked, and Feng Xue nodded.

"Unfortunately." She confirmed.

Hearing that, everyone fell silent, each with their own thought.

An incense stick later, Shen Xu sipped his wine, and everyone followed.

"I have got the updated auction list. Who wants to take a look?' He asked.

After that, everyone busied themselves with the auction list, but only a few things caught their eye.

Later, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan left the space and went to look for Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi.

When they arrived, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi were sparring in their yard.

"Your sword needs to be half a beat faster." Chen Yi instructed, and Dongfang Jing nodded with a serious expression.

A moment later, he swung his sword, but Chen Yi still caught the move and counterattacked with one of his own.

Seeing this, Dongfang Jing sighed and sheathed his sword.

"I still can't beat you." He said.

"My cultivation is higher than yours." Chen Yi countered.

"What does cultivation have to do with pure swordsmanship?"

In terms of cultivation, Dongfang Jing was more talented, but in terms of swordsmanship, Chen Yi was a step higher.

That said, neither was jealous of the other.

After all, they were lovers who had supported each other through thick and thin.

"You are both exceptional." Shen Xu praised from the side.

Hearing this, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi turned around and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan, when did you arrive?" Dongfang Jing asked.

At the same time, he looked at Chen Yi, and the man shook his head, indicating he didn't notice the two people's arrival.

"We just arrived." Shen Xu chuckled and led Zhen Yuan to sit at a yard table.

Moments later, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi followed, sitting across from the two.

"Did you think about our suggestion?" Shen Xu asked, with his chin held on his right palm and his head tilted to the right.

Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi exchanged a glance when they heard this.

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had already told them about their plan.

However, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi didn't immediately agree.

This was not because they didn't want to deal with their enemies, but because they knew the power of the families behind them.

If possible, they also wanted to kill their enemies and rob the ship, but they were worried about blood marks and soul marks.

"Our main concern is soul marks and blood marks. We will be done for if a level nine soul mark or blood mark lands on us." Dongfang Jing said.

"Ayuan and I don't have a grudge against those people. Our only aim is to rob them, not kill them." Shen Xu said, and when he saw the other couple's doubtful expression, he continued.

"As long as you agree, Ayuan and I can do it without revealing our identity or leaving a clue."

"But if we don't kill them, those people will eventually return to the Tianxuan continent." Dongfang Jing argued, his brows creased in a frown.

After all, the descendants of major families only had to show their clan tokens, and they would be allowed to use the eight-tower teleportation formation.

After returning to the Tianxuan continent, the robbed people would definitely try to find the culprits, leading to a lot of trouble.

"Are you expecting to live a peaceful life when you return to the Tianxuan continent?' Shen Xu asked with an incredulous expression.

Hearing this, the two lowered their heads, and Shen Xu chuckled.

"A ship is much safer than the ancient road or a space crack. Also, we have ways to disguise the ship and secretly enter the Tianxuan continent. Other concerns can wait until after we arrive."

After thinking about it, Chen Yi nodded.

"You are right." He said and quickly continued.

"We can worry about everything else after securing a safe way to travel to the Tianxuan continent."
