Whether it was mortals or cultivators, they all had souls. The only difference was how weak and powerful the soul was.

This shadow that floated out from Qian Yilin's Zifu was the soul of Qian Yilin.

As long as a cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, at this stage, the soul of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would be strong enough to leave the body and exist alone for a short period of time, just like now.

As a result, even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator's body were to be destroyed, he would still have the chance to be reborn through soul possession.

Cultivators in the Qi Cultivation stage, after death, have weak souls and can only enter the cycle of reincarnation like mortals.

Of course, this was only under normal circumstances. A freak like Xu Fan with a powerful soul was an exception.

The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the stronger their soul would be. This was especially true after a cultivator formed their Nascent Soul, which made it even harder for them to die. At this point, if the bodies of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators were destroyed, they could use their powerful Nascent Souls to possess another body.

If he wanted to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, then he would have to kill his Nascent Soul as well. Only then would he be considered dead.

However, although cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage could be reborn by soul possession, the chances of success were very small. This was because the soul during this period of time was extremely fragile, and the time it would stay outside of the body was very short.

Moreover, there were certain requirements to possess a body. Not everyone's body was suitable for a cultivator's soul to possess, so most Foundation Establishment and even Aurous Core stage cultivators died after their bodies were destroyed.

In short, if a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage wishes to use their soul to possess another body, their success rate is very low, and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators' success rate is very high. Also, the requirement for possession of the body is not as harsh as that of the soul, which is why the higher realm one has, the harder it is to kill them!

"..."

Of course, Qian Yilin was only a newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator. His soul was naturally much more fragile than before. It only stayed in the outside world for a short while before completely disappearing. He was now dead beyond dead.

Pitiful, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator actually didn't even have time to release the few talismans in his hand before he died in the hands of a rookie like Xu Fan.

"Shh!" F * ck, this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is so abnormal! It is fortunate that I have a flying sword with a high-grade magic tool. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to kill this old fogey! "

Xu Fan let out a long sigh, muttering to himself. This time, his two high-grade magic tools had done a great service. One had saved his life, and the other had killed the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in front of him.

However, even though this high-grade magic tool was powerful, the consumption of true essence and spiritual energy was not something a 3rd level Qi Cultivating Stage rookie like him could handle.

Previously, he had only used his high-grade magic tool a few times to kill his enemies. However, he had already used up almost all of the true essence and spirit energy in his dantian, and his face had become even paler and more frightening.

Even so, Xu Fan knew that this wasn't the time to meditate and recover his spiritual energy. He quickly walked to Qian Yilin's corpse and took the storage bag off his body. He then searched around until he didn't find anything. Then, he released a fireball and burned the corpse into ashes.

The pile of ashes was blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This person would never be seen again in this world!

Xu Fan skillfully took care of the corpses on the ground, then picked up the few charms that littered the floor. He recognized these; they were the Rank 2 Fireball Charm that he had previously used.

Xu Fan had been reborn into this world less than a year ago, but this brat's speed in handling corpses and his skill in collecting battle results made it hard for anyone to believe that he was just a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator.

"Eh? "This is …"

Just as Xu Fan put away the talisman and was about to leave, all of a sudden, a small black flag appeared in front of him. This fellow's eyes suddenly lit up, and he recognized this small flag; it was the Hundred Soul Banner that Qian Yilin had taken out to deal with him.

Xu Fan had personally experienced how strange and terrifying this thing was, so how could he let it go so easily? This brat didn't even know what the Hundred Soul Banner was. In his opinion, as long as it could be used to kill people, it was a good thing.

"I picked up a treasure!"

Xu Fan felt joy in his heart. Without saying anything further, he charged over and quickly grabbed the Hundred Soul Banner on the ground. He searched around and finally didn't find anything else. Only then did this fellow contentedly release his flying sword and fly into the sky.

As the saying goes, killing a man in ten steps would leave no mark. After that, he would wash his clothes and leave no mark on his reputation!

On the road of cultivation, Xu Fan, this unknown cultivator rookie, had already gradually grown up. No one would have thought that this Qi Disciple level 3 cultivator rookie would actually be able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator that many Qi Cultivation stage cultivators looked up to.

"..."

After an hour, Xu Fan had no choice but to stop at a place about fifty kilometers away from where he had killed Qian Yilin.

Although he had taken a Superior Grade Qi Returning Pill before he had killed Qian Yilin, he had not had the time to stop and refine the pill to recover his spiritual energy. At this moment, the spiritual energy in his dantian had been completely used up.

"Alas, this true essence is far too insufficient!"

Xu Fan let out a sigh and released his powerful divine sense. He looked around but didn't find anything unusual, so he found a relatively hidden bush nearby. He then entered it and quickly sat down cross-legged to recover his spiritual energy.

Time slowly passed. In the forest, Xu Fan silently consumed the Energy Recovery Pill.

Two hours later, Xu Fan bent over and came out of the bushes. He looked around keenly, then took out his low rank flying sword and swaggered straight toward the market.

It had to be said that this Superior Grade Qi Returning Pill was indeed extraordinary. At the same time, it was fortunate that Xu Fan didn't treat it as a medicinal pill. It only took him two hours to quickly recover his spiritual energy.

Xu Fan was able to figure out the direction of Cloud Workshop City and was flying with all his might.

After flying like this for half an hour, the familiar city square entrance appeared in front of Xu Fan's eyes. This fellow couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, in his previous battle with Qian Yilin, although Xu Fan hadn't been harmed at all, this battle had undoubtedly been an earth-shattering one for Xu Fan.

Before this, Xu Fan didn't even know that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was this powerful. Even if he was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who had lost an arm or a leg from the bomb, he would still be incomparably ferocious and could take his life at any time. If it wasn't for the high quality magic tool that he had refined beforehand, he would have felt an enormous sense of danger at that moment and subconsciously brought out the high quality magic tool shield.

In the end, Qian Yilin's head and body were separated, but the scene where his mouth was still talking made him even more terrified and shocked. He finally understood how powerful a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was and how abnormal they were.

Especially when he was dealing with the corpses on the ground, he realized how strong the bodies of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were. If they were on guard, Xu Fan believed that the damage caused by the bombs would be very small.

"It looks like the bombs and bullets won't deal much damage to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, unless they take advantage of the moment when they're unprepared to launch a sneak attack!"

This was without a doubt Xu Fan's most shocking battle since he had transmigrated, and also his most dangerous battle!

This battle also changed Xu Fan's underlying understanding. So it turns out that high-level cultivators were actually this powerful! Through this battle, Xu Fan was able to see his own weakness, and his desire to break through to the next realm increased!

In reality, Foundation Establishment cultivators weren't like Xu Fan, who could still speak if their heads were off. It was just that the moment Qian Yilin spoke, his high-grade flying sword had cut off their heads.

At that time, when Xu Fan was in a state of high mental stress, he would naturally be in a trance and think that his head was off and he could still speak.

After staying at the entrance for a while, Xu Fan let out a soft sigh. He took out the jade that opened the entrance to the market and walked in.

However, Xu Fan had already changed his appearance. Afterwards, he had returned to the Pleasing Inn without anyone noticing.
