Chương 1: Tomorrow, Lin Xueqin will die!
Every elder had assembled in the meeting hall. Each wore expressions of anger looking as though a glare from them could butcher a pig.
The Patriarch of Lin Family sat on the main seat.
Next to him, his trusted confidant said loudly, "Today, as you all know, we convened because of Lin Xueqin, the son of the deceased third elder, to discuss his terrible deeds. Begin the meeting."
The Fourth Elder rose up when he piped down. "Patriarch, Lin Xueqin has secretly created an evil technique. Now that this has occurred, the outside world has labeled us as demonic cultivators."
"That's correct. I propose that we behead him in public to dispel any doubts." Second Elder chimed in.
"Also, patriarch," Grand Elder said, "the investigation into Third Elder's death has produced results."
The Patriarch raised his hands, indicating that he should continue.
"It was Lin Xueqin," Grand Elder exhaled deeply, "He murdered his father to cultivate his evil technique. I'm afraid the recent disappearance happening in the family might be because of him."
"What?!"
The elders' expressions froze. They immediately looked at Lin Xueqin, whose cultivation had been destroyed, and exclaimed, "Patriarch, I'm afraid Lin Xueqin has fallen to depravity; please behead him!"
"Patriarch, a psychotic murderer must be slain; please behead Lin Xueqin!"
The Patriarch sneered at the confused Lin Xueqin and said, "Approved. Lin Xueqin has broken the rules, murdered his father, and honed an evil technique. He will be executed in the public plaza tomorrow morning. Spread the word!"
——
The servants pulled Lin Fan out of the meeting chamber. He blinked as he realized they had reached a hidden tunnel leading to a cold, corroded cell.
"I've transmigrated."
"I'm the son of the deceased Third Elder of Azure Region, Mulberry Town, Lin Family."
"But this script is wrong!"
"I should have possessed the body of a crippled youth. As a result, people will look down on me, and when the time comes for me to shine, my fianceé will rip the engagement apart and humiliate me. Following that, I would soar like a star, ultimately becoming the strongest individual in the universe."
"However, why am I being executed tomorrow? From the memories of this body, Grand Elder was the person who killed Lin Xueqin's father. For that reason, Lin Xueqin cultivated an evil technique to exact vengeance. However, he subsequently learns he has fallen into the trap set up by Grand Elder."
"This script is extremely wrong!"
"It appeared as though I had turned into a mob villain out for revenge."
Lin Xueqin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had transmigrated to the world where cultivation exists.
Here, individuals can absorb spiritual Qi to become strong while others dual cultivates with women.
Long story short, this world reminded him of the xianxia books he'd read.
Lin Xueqin was naturally pleased with things like transmigration.
Unfortunately, he was forced to remain in the eerie cell until his execution the next day. All of this meant Lin Xueqin would miss out on the chance to explore the cultivation world.
The cell in front of him featured a ruined wall, spider webs, and rusted bars that reeked of rot.
Not far away, the escort servant laughed, "Go in. You shouldn't expect us to bring you food. After all, you'll die tomorrow."
Lin Xueqin took a deep breath as the guard unlocked the cell door.
Creak!
This cell had not been opened for years now.
As dust fell, a metallic noise was heard, and the door opened.
When it was opened, the cell was inhabited by skeletons and bones, the source of the rotten smell.
The abrupt disturbance startled the rats, which a strange glint shone on their eyes when they saw a newcomer.
After three years, humans have finally brought them food.
"Look at the rats, happy to welcome a newcomer. However, I don't feel pity for this guy at all." The escort servant laughed.
"Who feel sympathy on him, anyways? Killing his father, trying to assault Patriarch's daughter, cultivating an evil technique...he deserves it." The guard said.
"That's true. Hey, what will happen if only his bones remain by tomorrow? After all, the people that had previously entered the cell had perished in a gruesome way." The escort servant shivered when he remembered the stories of this cell.
Five years ago, a spy of Xin Family infiltrated the family, assassinated a genius, and was imprisoned in the cell. After the rats thrown a banquet for seven days and seven nights, only his bones remained.
Three years ago, Lin Jia, the infamous trash of the Lin Family who suddenly rise up into the level of a genius, crippled his relative in a training. As a result, he was banished from the clan. But before departing, he threatened the family and told them he would exact vengeance one day. Because of that, the Patriarch decided to confine him in the cell and wiped out his cultivation. In less than a week, he died after realizing his stupidity.
Hearing the escort servant, the guard chuckled. "Don't worry; he has tough body. It's not like these rats can devour him whole."
Lin Xueqin listened at the conversation between the escort servant and the guard.
He raised his head and peered into the cell.
The countless greedy eyes made him shuddered.
"What are you waiting for? Stop wasting our time and go in!"
The escort guard was imaptient and pushed Lin Xueqin inside the cell. Immediately after, the rats squeaked.
They crowded Lin Xueqin as if he was a diety.
Although popular, they were after his flesh.
Argh!
The rats bit his legs. Lin Xueqin immediately fell flat on the ground due to the pain.
The escort servant and guard chuckled and walked away.
"Is this how I'll die?" Lin Xueqin was depressed.
He had never thought that following his transmigration, he would be feasted on by these beasts!
[Absorb Black Shadow Rats?]
A line of words suddenly appeared before Lin Xueqin.
He paused and then grinned.
Cheat!
Albeit late, the cheat in a cape emerged.
"Absorb!" Lin Xueqin immediately responded.
[You have absorbed Black Shadow Rats. Received Encompassing Concealment Technique!]
Another line of words emerged, and one of the rats feasting on his body jerked before dispersing into energies that entered Lin Xueqin's mind.
"Can I keep absorbing indefinitely?" Lin Xueqin was surprised by the skill he had acquired.
[You can absorb once a day. Absorbing a different object gives different reward.]
[However, you can continue to absorb the same object you did today indefinitely. However, the reward will be chosen at random.]
Lin Xueqin's eyes became brighter as he gazed at the line of text.
He switched his attention to the rats. After one of the rats was absorbed, there were just six rodents remained.
"How dare you tried to eat me?"
"Since this is the case, don't blame me for being cruel."
"Absorb Black Shadow Rats!"
Lin Xueqin yelled into his heart as the remaining rats transformed into energies that entered his body.
[Absorbed Black Shadow Rats. Received 6x Skill Fragments of Encompassing Concealment Technique!]
"What are these fragements?" Lin Xueqin asked, puzzled.
[Absorbing the fragements, your comprehension speed of the skill will significantly increased. The more fragments you absorb, the more quickly you will master the technique.]
Lin Xueqin was surprised by the explanation.
He looked around to notice only the bones remained and the fear in his eyes faded.
"I'm going to be executed tomorrow."
"However, given that I can absorb everything and have received the Encompassing Concealement Technique, I might as well perfect it."
"I have 6 fragments. I should be able to perfect the technique by tomorrow. After then, it will be simple to flee from this cell."
"I should start practicing right away!"
Lin Xueqin sat up and used the six fragments of Encompassing Concealment Technique all together.
Soon after, he was engrossed in comprehension.
