Looking back on the countless attacks he endured from Yi Fei and the others in order to fuse this primordial witch power with his body, all that pain was in vain, and he was even smug about it at the time.
Ignorance truly is fearlessness!
Lin Yao just wanted to look up to the sky and roar, to express the frustration in his heart and the joy of being reborn.
As night fell, Lin Yao took advantage of the darkness to steal a set of clothes from a fisherman's house by the sea, thus escaping the embarrassment of being naked. He then stole a cell phone and dialed Ge Yong's number.
While at sea, he heard the fishermen on the surface tell him the date. He knew it was already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the New Year was over. He wondered how worried his parents must be about his disappearance.
"Big brother..."
"Xiao Yao!" A thunderous roar came from the phone. "Xiao Yao! Where are you? Are you alright?"
The caring voice warmed Lin Yao's heart; it felt so good to be reborn!
"I don't know where I am, I'm at the beach." Lin Yao's tone was somewhat helpless. "I have nothing on me, and my phone was stolen. You have to come and pick me up right away."
"Wait a minute, I'll check this number right away and then come pick you up. I'm in Shanghai right now." Ge Yong hung up the phone immediately after saying that, which touched Lin Yao deeply.
During the Lunar New Year, everyone was probably looking for him. Not to mention his parents and grandparents, the entire Yi family probably didn't have a good New Year either, and there was also his older brother who had been searching for him in Shanghai.
"Yaoyao..."
Xiao Cao's voice rang out again, her tone calm.
"how?"
“You need to put some things on hold and stop killing.” Xiaocao’s tone left no room for doubt. “Your mindset is not right, and you lack the ability to control these things. You need to engage in worldly cultivation.”
"Didn't you say you act on impulse?" Lin Yao asked, puzzled. "I just did what I felt was right. I thought those people deserved to die, so I killed them."
"But you are not capable of bearing the consequences of killing. Your mental strength is not tempered enough. Look, your healing true qi has already fallen back to the ninth level of qi. This is a good proof."
"..."
Lin Yao felt that what Xiao Cao said made a lot of sense. Humans have many reactions to slaughter: some are cold-blooded, some are indifferent, some are fearful, and some even lose their nature.
Recalling how he directly killed four people who were extorting tourists, and even later tried to kill the two tourists, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Ge Yong and his group's training methods might be effective; seeing that killing had no effect on them, perhaps I should learn from them after meeting him.
"No way." Xiaocao understood Lin Yao's thoughts and immediately denied it. "Unless you don't cultivate and go through Ge Yong's experience exactly the same way, you simply can't do that level."
“Those who cultivate themselves advocate mental training. Entering the world is an inevitable experience. But your previous understanding of entering the world was to act entirely according to your own ideas. That’s not acceptable. Acting impulsively without restraint or control is not true entering the world. You should go to Beijing to work, be an ordinary person for a while, experience the world properly, and improve your mental state.”
Lin Yao nodded in agreement, knowing that Xiao Cao was right.
From childhood to adulthood, my experiences have never been the normal life, study, and friendships of ordinary people. I lived in constant fear of death. Although my family appeared peaceful on the surface, it is undeniable that the shadow of death loomed over everyone's heart.
That kind of life is abnormal, so my personality and thinking are flawed.
Now that I have extremely high personal abilities, I am very confident and arrogant, and I have completely abandoned self-discipline.
This situation is like the saying "absolute power produces absolute depravity"—without restraint, it can only lead to destruction.
Even killing those who truly deserve to die is beyond my current mental capacity to bear. The feeling of ending other people's lives is extremely violent. In addition, there is an unknown mysterious entity within my body that knows nothing about the original witch power, which caused the backlash.
Lin Yao couldn't be sure when the primordial witch power started affecting his state of mind, but he learned from numerous psychological materials that even without the suppression of the primordial witch power, such unbridled and unrestrained killing could very likely cause one to lose sight of their true nature.
In just over a dozen months, from being on the verge of death to possessing extremely high strength, such a transformation, without the corresponding capacity to withstand it, is bound to have consequences.
"Xiaocao, I'll listen to you. I'll go to Beijing to work after the New Year."
“Yes, that’s good. Actually, you don’t necessarily have to go to Beijing. Just leaving Chengdu is fine,” Xiaocao said with relief. “In Chengdu, you have too much of a sense of superiority, which doesn’t help you cultivate your mindset. It’s better to just be an ordinary person.”
We earnestly request everyone's support.
It's almost the end of the month, and the new book monthly ticket rankings are entering a crucial phase. Those ahead have pulled ahead, and those behind are about to catch up. Please support me with your monthly tickets!
Starting today, aside from eating, sleeping, and using the toilet, I will do nothing else but focus on writing. I hope everyone can support me to the end so that I can achieve this honor.
Yesterday I had no choice but to write 8,000 words, but thankfully I haven't fallen off the site's update rankings yet, and I'm currently ranked sixth. I hope I can climb back up to the top.
The event I originally planned to have everyone join me in grabbing money (money from Q) is now too difficult to proceed with. Reaching the top six seems unlikely due to recent quality issues and inconsistent update frequency. The 2000 RMB difference (3000 for sixth place, 1000 for seventh) is simply out of reach. (Based on my update frequency, that's equivalent to half the royalties).
Please support me with your monthly passes. If everyone is enthusiastic, I'll start a "money-grabbing" event. The "never give up until the Yellow River is reached" mentality is actually a great style, and I hope I can do it once.
Thank you all for your support! Please continue to support me!

"Xiao Lin, take this report to the finance office, and while you're at it, ask why the funding we submitted last time hasn't come through yet." Wang Sheng looked at Lin Yao, who was stealing vegetables on the farm, and said in a very arrogant tone.
Wang Sheng is the head of the International Trade Department under the Marketing Department of Beijing Hongyuan Import & Export Co., Ltd. He is 28 years old, of medium build, and his neat short hair and tidy clothes give him a good impression despite his unremarkable appearance. He graduated from the School of International Economics and Trade at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, majoring in International Economics and Trade.
Wang Sheng chose to work for this private company because of its completely open management and performance-based compensation system. Although most of his college classmates worked in better companies and had easier jobs than him, Wang Sheng did not feel disappointed because his pursuits were different.
