Chapter 126: The Evil Law of Taking Away Life
Wu Xian accepted the pill with gratitude, but did not take it in front of the doctor.

First of all, he had no injuries at all.

Secondly, after learning from the lesson of eating the longevity peach last time, Wu Xian planned to wait and see the effect of the pill before eating it. He didn't want to get an additional negative buff for no apparent reason.

As for the choice of exchanging lifespan for potential...

There's nothing to think about.

Although life span is precious, Wu Xian still has 26 years to live. He is not an old man who is about to die, so there is no need to be so stingy. It is more important to stay alive now. After all, no matter how much life span he accumulates, he will still die if it is eaten up by evil spirits.

But how do we activate what the doctor called potential?
If he says it is potential, does it really mean it is potential?
When he said he would take away one year of your life, did he really only take away one year?
It is a big taboo to trust others casually in a blessed land.

Wu Xian thought for a while, and considering that he had eaten the longevity peaches, he should be safer than others, so he said to the doctor.

"If I let you smoke for a few more years at a time, can you inspire a few more of my potentials?"

When the doctor heard this, a hint of joy and madness suddenly flashed in his eyes, but this madness quickly dissipated, and his eyes became clear and transparent again.

"Young man, don't be too greedy, and don't take your life too lightly."

"You can trade one year of your life for one potential, would you trade it or not?"

Wu Xian smacked his lips and said, "Then let's change it."

With Wu Xian's consent, the doctor rolled up his sleeves, took out a brush and drew a ten-centimeter-long ink mark on his arm, then put his hand on Wu Xian's wrist.

This moment.

Wu Xian felt that he was wrapped in something, cold and dry. It was tight and had a strange touch, as if something was constantly wriggling around him.

Then Wu Xian suddenly felt a strange feeling on his wrist, as if something was flowing out of his wrist.

Wu Xian's condition began to deteriorate at a speed visible to the naked eye. All those things that were lost were the essence of the human body. Wu Xian's condition began to deteriorate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The skin became dry and yellow, wrinkles appeared, the eyes became cloudy, and there were even strands of white hair on the head.

He suddenly understood.

The so-called extraction of lifespan is not as simple as changing the numbers in Lihentian, changing 26 to 25.

The doctor extracted the vitality, until Wu Xian lost his life, causing him to live one year less!
But besides being weak.

There were other changes in Wu Xian's body as well.

At the same time as his lifespan was being extracted, other things also drilled into Wu Xian's body through his wrist. Those things activated Wu Xian's cells and produced some mysterious changes.

A red line appeared in front of Wu Xian's eyes.

This red line hesitates to move forward, and there are three forks in the road ahead:
Born with thick skin!

Born with super speed!
Natural beauty!

Wu Xian quickly glanced at his wrist. The ink on his wrist was gradually turning red. This ink line should represent one year of life. The red line was moving very fast, and he had to make a decision before the red line reached the end.

time does not wait.

Wu Xian only had time to think briefly before he chose to be born thick-skinned.

Afterwards, the red line continued to move forward, and Wu Xian's skin began to itch unbearably. Some mysterious changes were taking place. This feeling was completely different from the mutations brought about by worshiping gods, and was more like the evolution of the body itself.

click!
The red line finally completed the entire ink trail.

But the doctor had no intention of stopping. He continued to extract Wu Xian's essence, and the red line began to spread outward.

The doctor's face was full of excitement.

"I see……"

"It's so refreshing!" "No wonder Fairy Liu is addicted to it. Even I... This is much faster than practicing hard!"

The doctor's expression became more and more abstract. It was not just distorted, but also wriggling and rippling like waves. It was much more creepy and disgusting than a demon.

Seeing him so absorbed in this, Wu Xian quickly reminded him, "Doctor, you should stop!"

But the doctor seemed not to have heard Wu Xian's words at all and was still drawing blood frantically, so Wu Xian could only use the Wei Jia method.

呲!
The sharp spike on the wrist pierced the doctor's finger.

The doctor's expression was dazed for a moment, and he finally took his fingers away from Wu Xian's wrist. The red line on his arm retreated in an instant, and Wu Xian's lost lifespan was completely restored in an instant.

The doctor was shocked again.

"No success?"

"How is this possible? I clearly drew the longevity bonus, so why don't I feel any improvement in my cultivation?"

"This shouldn't be the case... I..."

Pop, pop, pop!
The doctor suddenly looked horrified and slapped himself a dozen times. His eyes gradually became clear and he muttered to himself with lingering fear.

"It's so scary. I finally understand Fairy Liu. It's really hard for us monsters to resist that kind of temptation."

"If the spell had not failed, the effort I just put in would have been equivalent to a year of hard training. Even I am like this, let alone the likes of Liu Xiangu."

"No wonder she surpassed me so quickly."

"This evil method of absorbing lifespan will lead us all into the abyss. We must not try it again!"

Although the doctor seemed to have come to his senses and spoke very rationally, after he stopped absorbing life, he didn't even look at Wu Xian, nor did he communicate with Wu Xian!
He was just talking to himself in ecstasy.

In Wu Xian's opinion, the doctor had become completely addicted and had not yet gotten out of that evil law.

Wu Xian was afraid that the doctor would experiment on him again, so he bowed quickly.

"Thank you, Doctor. The transaction has been completed. I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, Wu Xian slowly retreated towards the doctor. The doctor did not try to keep Wu Xian, but shook his head in thought, as if he could not believe that his magic would fail.

"Thank you, doctor. The transaction is complete. I'm leaving now."

After retreating for a distance.

Wu Xian suddenly heard a moving sound in the cell.

So he quietly lowered his head again and looked down. What he saw this time was completely different from before.

In the dark cell, there was no wandering doctor with immortal appearance, only a huge black leech several meters long!
The giant leech hovered in the cell, its upper body erected, shaking its head.

"Does it require a spell?"

Wu Xian suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.

It turned out that there was a big leech lying on his wrist sucking the life out of it, and the tight wrapping feeling came from the leech's entanglement!
The giant leech suddenly turned around, and a bearded human face appeared on the front of its body, with the human eyes on its head revealing a look of surprise.

"Young man, you haven't left yet!"

"Great, cooperate with me and try it again. I think I'm about to find the key..."

Snapped!
Wu Xian closed the door.

The lock that had just been opened was automatically locked again and could only be opened with another key. Only knocking sounds could be heard from inside, but the doctor could not get out no matter what.
