The Righteous Path and the Demonic Path are different.
Those on the Demonic Path often prioritize devouring humans, disregarding the state of Wanren and relying on the flesh and blood of mortals for cultivation, such as tearing them apart while alive, cooking and eating them, or using them for alchemy.
The Righteous Path is not like that; they tend to absorb a medium from mortals, who won't die so easily. They may even fight against evil demons to protect mortals, hence they have a complete set of Dharma Techniques, extensive experience, and spells right from the beginning of Qi Refinement.
For instance, the Blood Saber Hall, as a righteous force of Jiguo, would possess everything it should.
Even if it's just Third Stage.
Luo Gongye clasped the blade in his hand, formed a Dharma Seal with a start, muttered words, and pointed the seal towards the mortal. A burst of radiance enveloped the mortal.
