Chapter 134: Baleful Qi



Chapter 134: Baleful Qi

“System, do you know what this baleful Qi is?” Ace asked in a solemn tone. 

“[50 Thief Points]”

Ace pursed his lips while saying, “Just take it and open this damn ring while you are at it.”

“[100TP has been deducted]

[The Storage Ring is now opened]

[50TP has been deducted]

[Baleful Qi: The resentment, malice, hatred… of someone is the Baleful Qi. In other words, everyone has Baleful Qi! Even the purest beings as long as they had emotions.]

[The Baleful Qi can grow continuously. It is impossible to see with naked eyes and there are some techniques and skills they can use the Baleful Qi to boost one strength tremendously.] 

[But there is a very stein price to pay and only Unorthodox Cultivators use this kind of method.]

[Thief Point(s): 1,250]

Ace was truly marveled as he quickly asked, “Then why didn’t I have this Baleful Qi? It’s not like I didn’t hate or resent someone.” 

“[Host has no baleful Qi because of the dark void it can absorb it and because of it the host will never encounter a Baleful Heart Evil in the future!]” 

Ace’s eyes shone with uncertainty as he asked, “What is this Baleful Heart Evil?” 

“[Host has not enough authority to know about Three Evils of Heart]”

“[But remember this, if one has too much Baleful Qi one will die at a specific point of cultivation because of Baleful Heart Evil!]”

“Three Evils of Hearts and one will die because of this baleful Qi, huh.” Ace mumbles softly. 

Ace was astonished while mulling over what the system has revealed. He didn’t expect one can even die because of Qi that one accumulated on their own. 

This made Ace realize again that he was still ignorant and insignificant. 

Now another question aroused in Ace’s mind, ‘How did that clown know about Baleful Qi?’ But no one was here to answer him.

Since Ace can’t find a reasonable answer because of his little experience, he didn’t dwell on it for long. 

The important matter at hand was Jason possessed the ability to sense Baleful Qi, and Ace didn’t have any baleful Qi because of the dark void. 

Ace knew it was a good thing, but now in this kind of situation where someone can find him because of this wonderful trait. 

“System, can I stop dark void from absorbing baleful Qi?” Ace asked with high hope.

“[Host cannot control the dark void with his current prowess at this moment.]”

‘Figures.’ Ace smiles bitterly. He knew from the start that the dark void is not something that he can control as he wishes and its actual abilities are still mysteries. 

“[Host can spend 500TP and system will stop dark void from absorbing baleful Qi for 10 years.]” Startlingly, the system’s voice rang again.

Ace frowned. “Can I cancel this anytime I want?” 

“[No.]” 

‘Well, it’s a plus since I won’t be like a torch in the darkness anymore for those who can sense baleful Qi like Jason. But I won’t be able to cancel it for ten years and dying in cultivation because of it is not something I can overlook either.’ The more Ace considered the more he felt this decision was a double-edged sword.

“System which cultivation realm can one encounter this Baleful Heart Evil?” Ace asked eagerly.

“[Heart Evils doesn’t exist in Mortal Sky Heaven.]”

Ace was elated hearing this extraordinary good news, “If that’s the case then stop dark void from absorbing baleful Qi.”

“[500TP has been deducted]”

[The Dark Void will not absorb any Baleful Qi for ten years.]

[Thief Point(s): 750]

Ace wait a while but he felt nothing at all, “Is it stop?” He frowned.

“[Yes.]”

‘It seems it was not a big deal. But I lose 500TP just because of that clown.’ Ace’s face stiff a little seeing his remaining TP and blame it on Jason. 

However, Ace didn’t know this prior knowledge of Baleful Qi and this decision has saved him from many future troubles! 

Ace’s focus shifted to Jason’s storage to minimize his losses. He has rejected the path because there was something even more important in this storage ring and he didn’t trust Jason.

‘Now let’s see just why you were so anxious about it.’ Ace quickly sent his consciousness into the storage ring that was now open. 

After shifting everything keep-worthy inside his thief’s space, and begun to check the other items one by one.

Half an hour pass, but Ace still didn’t find anything unique and his complexion darken because of it. 

“Hmm?” Ace suddenly spotted something unusual. 

An old map appeared in Ace’s hand. He felt a unique texture from the hide when he touched it as if it was made of icy silk. 

‘Is this it?’ 

Curious, Ace open the map with great expectation. 

“What is this?” Ace murmured in confusion the moment his eyes landed on the map. 

The map was of a large valley surrounding by mountains and in the center was an altar-like mark he didn’t recognize. But what truly caught Ace’s attention was the mountains surrounding the valley because they were evenly sized, not like typical mountains. 

‘Is this some kind of treasure map?’ Ace muse but in the end, he gave up and store the map inside his thief’s space. 

“This place might never exist in middle-lands, but I should still keep a lookout for it. Since that idiot was so anxious about it there has to be some kind of heavenly treasure there like Blood Rose.” Ace mumbles softly. 

‘It’s just a pity that I didn’t manage to obtain his disguise skill. Well, no problem if my scheme worked I will be able to buy that new mask in the shop before the competition began. Now, I just have to wait for them to show up. I hope he will come or I have to think of a different way.’

Ace’s face was full of enthusiasm as he thought about the master plan he cooked up in the auction this evening!
