Cultivation through Skin Making

The sound of battle shakes the heavens outside the door, with arcs of light shooting far away.

Song Yan squinted his eyes slightly, he wanted to open the door and look outside clearly, but then heard urgent footsteps coming from the bed behind him.

An Li, younger sister, rushed down wearing only her undergarments, grabbed his hand, and said, "Don't go."

Song Yan: ???

An Li, younger sister, said: "Master once told me that as a Pill Master, my duty is to survive and refine better elixirs for the Sect.

If a great battle breaks out outside, hiding somewhere safe, not being discovered by the enemy, and not getting into trouble is what I should do.

Otherwise, if I'm captured, the Sect would have to send someone to rescue me, which would only create more chaos!

Senior brother, the same goes for you! No being reckless!"

After speaking, the younger sister's other small hand hugged his waist from behind, afraid he might impulsively rush out to confront Song Yan demon.

In the darkness, Song Yan only felt behind him a soft and warm bundle of cotton, trembling upon it.

An Li, younger sister, was trembling.

She continued, "When senior uncle Xuanwei used the Memory Jade to reveal that demon, I saw it.

He is terrifying.

If you go, you certainly won't be able to help, you'll just be targeted by him. If he strikes carelessly, you'll be dead!"

Song Yan stared at the gleam in the distant darkness, feeling the arrogant and grim laughter drifting in the air, a sound actually belonging to himself.

"Senior brother, don't create chaos for the Sect!" An Li's small hand firmly held onto him.

Song Yan secretly amused, didn't expect An Li had quite the battle awareness, knowing not to be a burden.

He turned around, leaned back slightly, and "bang," the door closed.

From behind hugging him, the younger sister changed to the front; the two pressed closely together.

Suddenly, An Li seemed to sense something, her pretty face froze for a moment, blushed immediately, then jumped up like a cat touched by electricity, quickly separating from Song Yan, while angrily and coquettishly exclaiming, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

After speaking, she softly added, "The Sword Manual says only once a day is allowed."

Simultaneously, she quickly took a silk scarf, cleaned some slightly sullied places on her body, and then changed into the Sword Robe.

Song Yan responded, "Weren't you holding onto me not letting me go out?"

An Li tremblingly said, "Senior brother, although we aren't going to the front lines, there will certainly be injured brothers returning later. We should go to the Alchemy Room now and prepare healing medicine."

Song Yan nodded, then leaned against the door and waited for the younger sister to finish, then quietly went out together, swiftly traversing the dark paths.

An Li suddenly said, "Don't be afraid, senior brother, Warm Water Island is on the west side of the Sword Sect. If the enemy wants to attack, they generally won't come from this direction."

Song Yan curiously replied, "I know, but wouldn't attacking from both east and west be better? Who attacks a city from the main entrance?"

An Li gasped, turning white-eyed, sighed, "Senior brother, don't scare me. I... even if you scare me, I won't be afraid!"

Song Yan said, "Don't worry, the sounds of battle are coming from the direction of Observing Mist Island, this means Song demon is attacking from the main entrance."

After speaking, Song Yan said, "Don't you think it's strange for Song demon? Sneaking into the Sword Sect, isn't changing angles and stealth infiltration a better idea than such an ostentatious approach?"

An Li replied, "You wouldn't understand! Evil demons are extremely cunning, especially Song demon who's the sneakiest of them all. You'd think he wouldn't come from the main entrance, but he chooses precisely that way, true and false, reality mingled with illusion. In short, you certainly wouldn't guess. Senior brother, you didn't guess, did you?"

Song Yan scratched his head and said: "Indeed, as younger sister states."

He turned his head to glance at the distant view, squinting slightly.

Framing someone, huh?

You do your framing, what does it have to do with me?

Am I someone who gets angry just by being cursed?

...

...

"Song thief! Treacherous thief! Evil thief! Dog thief!"

"Previously, when he slew Gu Huangzi, I thought perhaps he wasn't so bad, but unexpectedly he has gone heartless to such an extent!"

In the Alchemy Room...

Song Yan listened to the injured disciples cursing Song demon while continuously treating them.

During treatment, he discovered a commonality in the injuries of these disciples, which was "flushed face, bulging blood vessels."

It's worth noting, the body quality of cultivators in the Refining Profound Realm far exceeds ordinary Jianghu people many times over. If reaching the Seventh Layer of Refining Profound, it becomes immune to blades, unaffected by fire and water. What kind of power brings such effects?

If you don't understand, just ask.

Song Yan directly asked, "Senior brothers, what kind of demon technique did Song demon use?"

A tall senior brother who just took Concentration Soup looked at him, slowly shook his head, and said, "Embroidered Tiger Junior Brother, we don't know either. But that demon technique seems to directly mobilize our internal Qi Blood."

Another disciple fearfully said: "I personally saw a senior brother controlling his sword upward, just when he was about to stab Song demon, Song demon turned around and with one sword, stabbed him.

That sword only made a minuscule cut on the senior brother, then suddenly he burst with blood, the body seemed... seemed like a squeezed dry bundle of cotton, directly turned into a dried corpse."

Another disciple also joined the discussion, smiling bitterly: "It's quite shameful to say, my cultivation is inadequate, just standing afar, without striking, I felt terrified, even my eardrums heated up, nostrils bleeding... Song demon must have practiced some murderous demon technique on us Sword Sect as an experiment."

Song Yan found the brothers' thinking angles quite unique, so he curiously asked: "How dare the demon appear? Isn't he currently being hunted by Fox Wolf? The whole world is searching for him. How does he dare walk into a trap?"
