As far as the current Spirit Devouring Mind Method is concerned, it is a kind of Spirit Devouring Mind Method that harms others but is not beneficial to oneself, and the more spiritual energy a cultivator absorbs, the greater the damage to oneself.

When a cultivator used the Spirit Devour on other cultivators, a large amount of foreign spiritual energy poured into the body, and these foreign spiritual qi were completely uncontrolled, colliding everywhere, causing great damage to the cultivator's own internal organs and meridians.

It is not until the cultivator completes the process of returning to the soul that he can integrate all the foreign aura into his own aura.

Cultivating the Spirit Devouring Mind Method, you can only rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of others to increase your cultivation, and the more foreign spiritual energy you suck, the greater the damage to yourself, this is a dead cycle, it can also be said that the current Spirit Devouring Heart Method is not a perfect spiritual martial arts method, and the cultivator is harming others as well as harming himself.

At this time, what Shangguan Xiu suffered was the backlash after the spirit devoured.

He knelt on the ground and slowly fell to the ground, his whole body clumped together, blood flowing down his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.

This pain is beyond the limits of what the human body can bear.

In the end, Shangguan Xiu's eyes turned black and he fainted.

When he woke up from his coma, the sky was already white.

The unimaginable pain finally disappeared, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He slowly stood up with his hands on the trunk of the tree, and looked up at the clearing in the woods, where the four bodies were still lying quietly.

He suddenly remembered something, leaned nervously to his chest, and touched the book hidden in his arms, and his heart was still calm.

For spiritual cultivators, the random transformation of this spiritual martial skill is too precious, and it cannot fully reflect its value when described as priceless.

Shangguan Xiu looked up at the sky, then walked up to the old man's corpse and looked down silently.

He didn't have time to dig a pit to bury the old man, he couldn't do that, he didn't want people to notice that there was still a fifth person at the scene.

In addition, he could not fulfill the old man's deathbed instructions, what if it was really as the Han said, Guan Pei of Wanhua Building in Wanhua Town, Ning County, was a traitor to the party? Shangguan Xiu did not dare to take this risk, let alone become a sinner in the country of Feng.

He stood quietly in front of the old man's corpse for a while, then stepped forward, touched the waist of the old man's corpse, felt something hard, and took it out, it was a few silver ingots and a few gold ingots.

Shangguan Xiu is not a greedy person for money, but his years of experience in living outside also made him understand a truth, everything is easy to say if you have money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.

He took only two silver ingots and one gold ingot, and he put the rest of the gold and silver back into the old man's bosom.

If he took all the gold and silver from the old man, then it would be easy for people to judge that there was a fifth person at the scene.

He bowed deeply to the old man's corpse again, and walked briskly out of the woods.

Now he is faced with a choice, return to his hometown in Zhenjun or continue to stay in Shangjing.

If it weren't for the experience of this night, Shangguan Xiu wouldn't have thought about this problem at all, the main purpose of his coming to Shangjing was to accompany Pan Mengjun, and now that Pan Mengjun has his heart in others, he will only bring shame on himself if he continues to stay in Shangjing.

He is not a person who can afford to take it but can't let it go, and his pride does not allow him to pester a woman whose heart is no longer in him.

But after this night, Shangguan Xiu felt as if he had been reborn.

He is not a fool who has cultivated Lingwu for fifteen years and only raised his cultivation to the Lingwu realm, he is not unsuitable for cultivating Lingwu, his cultivation can also break through, and it is a large breakthrough, in addition, he has also obtained the random change of Lingwu's peerless learning, which is a treasure that all spiritual cultivators in the world dream of.

So now the question is, why did he leave? Why did he leave Shangjing and return to his barren hometown?

Shangjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the center of the Wind Country, and he now has two kinds of spiritual martial arts, can't he still break out of the world in Shangjing with this? Could it be that the Shangguan family deserves to sink forever, and he deserves to do nothing all his life?

Shangguan Xiu was unwilling. To be more precise, his previous unwillingness was only suppressed by his own mediocrity, buried deep in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it, let alone tell others.

Now, with the breakthrough of his cultivation realm and the random change of Lingwu Peerless Learning, Shangguan Xiu's unwillingness was like a volcano that had been calm for 10,000 years suddenly erupted, and a well of his brain erupted.

He will not leave Shangjing, he chooses to stay here, fight for the world with his own hands, and reproduce the glory of the Shangguan family back then.

He knew that even if he had two spiritual martial arts, it would be difficult for him to break through the world in Shangjing, where nobles were gathered, as a commoner, but he didn't want to regret it, because he knew that if he didn't even try, his life would never have a glorious moment.

Shangguan Xiu, who had made up his mind, seemed to be reborn, and his steps were extraordinarily powerful.

At this time, his coat was covered with bloodstains, and Shangguan Xiu took off his coat while walking out, and carefully wiped the blood stains on his face and hands with his coat.

After a few more walks in the woods, he picked up a branch, dug a hole in the ground, and buried his bloodstained coat in it.

When he walked out of the woods, the sky was already bright, taking advantage of the sparse pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, Shangguanxiu deliberately made a big circle, from the western suburbs of Shangjing to the northern suburbs, and when he passed by a ready-to-wear shop that had just opened, he immediately walked in and bought a new set of clothes, pants and shoes.

Don't look at Shangguan Xiu's age, his mind is very alert. He was like a mirror in his heart, and randomly changing this spiritual martial arts secret book to himself was a bane, and he could kill himself at any time.

The safest way is to hide it, in a place where no one can find it.

In the vicinity of the ready-to-wear store, Shangguan Xiu found a small inn and stayed there.

Thanks to taking two ingots of silver and one ingot of gold from the old man, Shangguan Xiu didn't have to worry about money.

In the small inn, he worked with his buddies, borrowed the four treasures of the study, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and then stayed in the room, copying the secret book of random change three times in one go.

The process of copying is the process of his memorization.

According to Shangguan Xiu's understanding, there is no place in the world that is safer and more secure than his own head, as long as he hides the random change cheats in his brain, it is impossible for anyone to steal or snatch it again.

Shangguan Xiu's memory is amazing, and he has the ability to never forget, as long as he has read a book once, although he can't memorize it word for word, it's probably absolutely no problem to remember it.

Cultivating Lingwu skills is not a joke, the difference between one word in the Lingwu secret book is thousands of miles, and a mistake of one word may make the cultivator learn the wrong direction, and the consequences are unimaginable.

The random change cheats are written in ancient texts, Shangguan Xiu has learned ancient texts in the academy, but it is far from being proficient, and there are many rare ancient characters in the cheats that he has never seen, let alone know, he can only rely on rote memorization to memorize the glyphs of these ancient characters in his mind.

Shangguan Xiu spent a day and a night, first copying the content of the random change cheats three times in a row, and then he wrote it silently.

Confirming that he had memorized all the contents, he took the copper basin for washing his face, and put all three copies of the secret books that were copied and one dictation into the basin, and then he picked up the original of the random secret book and stroked it lovingly.

For cultivators, the original of the Random Change Cheats is too precious to be bought, no matter how much money you spend.

He couldn't help but open the cheats, and read them carefully from beginning to end, and finally, Shangguan Xiu gritted his teeth ruthlessly, put the cheats in the copper basin, took the candlestick, poured the fire oil in it on the book, and finally took out the fire fold and lit the fire oil in the copper basin.

Whew! Books and papers doused with fire oil stuck to the fire, and the flames in the copper basin rose so high.

Because it was too mysterious, too incredible and too terrifying, it was listed as a forbidden martial art, and the random change cheats that were competing for by spiritual cultivators all over the world were burned by Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu was later called a wind ghost by the world, both positive and depreciative, at this time, his 'ghost' side has been revealed, his mind is quick-witted, thoughtful, decisive, and not leaking.

After a busy day and a night, Shangguan Xiu dragged his tired body out of the room and returned to Shangjing District.

Shangguanxiu's home is located in a slum in the northern city of Shangjing. Even in the slums, the house he lives in is one of the most dilapidated of them all.

It's a thatched hut that couldn't be more shabby, when it's windy, it's ventilated on all sides, and when it rains, the roof leaks everywhere, and the only advantage is that it's cheap enough to rent and has a small yard.

Shangguan Xiu walked to the door of the house, looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned, the lock on the door was gone, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, or pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as he came in, he saw three people standing in the courtyard, and the three of them were still muttering something, but when they saw someone coming in, the three of them turned their heads in unison and looked at Shangguan Xiu.

Seeing him, one of them's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, and said with a smile: "Finally waiting for you, I thought I was in the wrong place!"

Shangguan Xiu looked at it, and the young man who spoke he knew was the object of Pan Mengjun's empathy, her 'Senior Brother Leng', as for his specific name, Shangguan Xiu did not know.

I didn't expect him to suddenly appear in his home, he looked surprised and said, "It's you?"

"I didn't expect me to come to the door, right?!" Leng Baiyuan sneered and shook his head at the two companions beside him. The two young men understood, walked quickly behind Shangguan Xiu, closed the courtyard door tightly, and bolted the door.

is the so-called enemy who is very red when they meet, and Shangguan Xiu can also see that the surname Leng and his companion are not good. He frowned, stared at Leng Baiyuan coldly, and asked, "What do you want to do when you come to my house?"

"Home?haha!" Leng Baiyuan laughed on his back, looked around disappreciably, and said, "This place is also worthy of being called home, it's a kennel!"

Hearing his words, the other two youths also burst into laughter.

Shangguan Xiu raised his head slightly and said, "Are you here just to say these inappropriate things to me?"

"Hmph!" Leng Baiyuan sneered, you are quite arrogant! He tilted his head, walked up to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "In the past, you and Mengjun were probably more than just neighbors, right?"

"What is the relationship between me and Xiaojun has nothing to do with you. Shangguan Xiu replied simply.

Leng Baiyuan is not a fool, of course he can feel that the relationship between Shangguan Xiu and Pan Mengjun is extraordinary, as for whether Shangguan Xiu gives him an exact answer, it doesn't matter.

"Xiaojun, it's so intimate!" he said word by word: "Shangguan Xiu, I warn you, now Mengjun is my woman, if you still have a bad idea of Mengjun, you have to weigh how many catties and taels you have first." ”

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer anymore, just narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly.

In fact, he didn't mean to entangle Pan Mengjun, no matter how much he liked the other party, as long as the other party changed his mind, he would never be entangled with a dead face, and he didn't care about this kind of behavior.

It's just that Leng Baiyuan's domineering attitude is really difficult for him to accept, and he hasn't forgotten the humiliation that Leng Baiyuan brought to him.

It's this kind of look again! Leng Baiyuan hated Shangguan Xiu's gaze staring at him the most, which made him feel like a coward.

He said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Xiu, you have two choices now, either pack up your things and get out of Shangjing, or, Lao Tzu knocks you out of Shangjing, do you go by yourself, or Lao Tzu drives you away, you choose!"

"What if I say no?" Shangguan Xiu's heart burned with rage, and the eyes staring at the other party became sharper.

Leng Baiyuan wondered if he had misheard, he tilted his head with a smile, tilted his ear again, and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

"I won't leave Shangjing, and you don't have the right to decide whether I go or stay!" Shangguan Xiu said in an accentuated tone.

"Okay, pretend to be hard in front of me, I'll break your bones today, and see how hard you can get up!" Leng Baiyuan got angry from his heart, raised his fist, and slammed Shangguan Xiu's cheek. Author's Note:
