Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 185 The Phoenix Maiden of Destiny! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Hearing what Shen Siyu said, Shen Sixuan felt there was some truth to it, so she stopped urging the other to rest and instead assured her:

"Siyu, don't worry, as long as you get the medicine, your elder sister will definitely have those pharmacists cure you!"

For the first time, Shen Sixuan felt that her little sister had finally grown up.

"Need not!"

Shen Siyu coldly rejected Shen Sixuan; belated affection is worth less than grass!

Shen Sixuan frowned, somewhat displeased. She had only meant well to show concern for the other person, but this little sister was actually arguing with her. She really didn't know what was good for her!
If she hadn't disturbed her second sister's cultivation, how could her second sister have gone astray and become possessed by evil spirits? And how could the family have sent her to beg for elixirs?

She brought all this upon herself, so she should take responsibility.

……

In the end, Shen Siyu successfully climbed to the top of the mountain through her own perseverance, where Cao Meng and Hong Qi were waiting for her.

When Shen Sixuan saw Cao Meng looking like a carefree young man, and holding a pink fox, it was quite different from the scene she had expected!

"We greet you, senior!"

However, Shen Sixuan didn't have time to think too much. She and Zuo Zhong quickly helped Shen Siyu, who was sickly, to bow to Cao Meng.

You lost!

Cao Meng ignored Shen Sixuan and the other two, and instead asked Hong Qi for the bet.

"for you!"

Hong Qi tossed the fifth-tier talisman to Cao Meng, then looked coldly at the half-dead Shen Siyu and angrily said:

"Human, I warned you not to climb up here, or I'll eat you."

"You actually dared to climb to the top of this mountain? You're deliberately courting death, aren't you? I'll grant your wish!"

Hong Qi was furious, not because she lost to Cao Meng with a single fifth-tier talisman. She had several fifth-tier talismans, so losing one wouldn't have mattered.

The key point is that this concerns her freedom. As long as she wins, this beast will take back the Gu and give her her freedom.

But now that she has lost her freedom, she has to continue to be harmed by this beast.

The terrifying pressure released by Hong Qi made Shen Siyu and the other two feel suffocated.

At this moment, Shen Sixuan felt that the oppressive feeling brought to her by this pink fox was even greater than that of her father, Shen Huaxing.

Her father, Shen Huaxing, was merely a Golden Core cultivator.

Hongqi is a fourth-tier demon beast with strength comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, so the sense of oppression she gives off is naturally stronger than that of a Golden Core cultivator.

"Be honest!"

Just as Hongqi was about to burn Shen Siyu, the culprit who caused her to lose, to death with a burst of foxfire, Cao Meng picked her up.

"Let me go, I'm going to kill this woman!"

Hong Qi, who was clamoring to kill people, eventually calmed down under Cao Meng's cold gaze.

She was afraid that Cao Meng would spank her again, and she was also afraid that Cao Meng would torture her with the Zi Gu poison.

"Thank you, senior!"

Shen Sixuan quickly bowed and thanked Cao Meng, wanting to leave a good impression.

Cao Meng completely ignored Shen Sixuan's thanks, turned his gaze to Shen Siyu, and smiled:
“You are stupid. You knelt down with every step, and you have knelt down for more than 100,000 steps. You are already ill.”

"It's only because your perseverance far surpasses that of ordinary people, otherwise you would have died on the stone steps long ago!"

Stupid—that was Cao Meng's first impression of Shen Siyu; only then did he notice her perseverance!

"I was really stupid, but that's what I owe them!"

Shen Siyu answered weakly, feeling that she was being stupid.

I've been a fool for over a decade or two, only now realizing the truth. I treated them like family, but in their eyes, I've always been nothing more than a despicable wretch!

Fearing that Shen Siyu might offend Cao Meng due to her poor communication skills, Shen Sixuan quickly bowed and said:
"Senior, my second sister suffered a qi deviation during her cultivation. I beg you to grant me a top-grade third-tier healing pill to save my second sister, considering my younger sister's desperation for medicine."

"I am not the person you are looking for. The person you are looking for is long dead. I just helped repair his grave not long ago!"

Cao Meng thought Shen Sixuan was sick; she hadn't even found the right person, so what kind of medicine was she asking for?
The person had been dead for several years. If they had come a few years earlier, they might have been able to see him alive!
Upon hearing that Cao Meng was not the fourth-tier alchemist, Zuo Zhong was immediately enraged:

"If you weren't, why didn't you say so earlier!"

When I bowed to this kid just now, he ignored me.

I tolerated it because I thought the other party was a fourth-level alchemist, but now they're telling me I've got the wrong person!

Shen Sixuan's face also turned ugly. If Cao Meng was not the alchemist they were looking for, what would happen to Shen Siluo, who was bedridden due to qi deviation?
Cao Meng's icy gaze fell upon Zuo Zhong, unleashing the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator:

"When did Foundation Establishment Stage 1 become so arrogant?!"

Cao Meng couldn't understand why someone at the Foundation Establishment stage was so arrogant. Who gave him the courage?
Faced with Cao Meng's intimidating presence, Zuo Zhong gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:

"Boy, my father is Zuo Hanquan, the prime minister of the Zhuyue Dynasty. If you dare to lay a hand on me, my father will not let you off!"

My father is Zuo Hanquan?
Cao Meng even claimed that his father was Zhang Erhe!
Cao Meng made a sword incantation with his hand, and a sword aura shot out from his fingertips, shattering Zuo Zhong's dantian.

With his dantian shattered, Zuo Zhong's Foundation Establishment Level 1 cultivation vanished into thin air!

"You've destroyed my cultivation!"

Zuo Zhong collapsed. He had cultivated for twenty or thirty years before successfully establishing his foundation and becoming a cultivator at the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now, twenty or thirty years of arduous practice have vanished in the blink of an eye.

His cultivation was destroyed, but that was secondary. The important thing was that his dantian was shattered. Without miraculous elixirs, he would never be able to cultivate again in this lifetime.

"Now that I've crippled your cultivation, I'd like to see what your father can do to me?"

Cao Meng's eyes were full of sarcasm. At most, a small family in the Zhuyue Dynasty would have one or two Nascent Soul experts!

"You villain! My father is a Nascent Soul stage expert. You have crippled my cultivation today, and my father will definitely avenge me!"

Zuo Zhong revealed his father's cultivation level, using it to threaten and intimidate Cao Meng.

Cao Meng slapped Zuo Zhong from a distance, knocking him unconscious.

"When did the Nascent Soul stage become considered a great power?!"

While a Nascent Soul cultivator is considered a master in the outside world, in a top-tier sect, they're merely a minor elder.

"Beep, based on the situation faced by the host, a task reward is issued:"

Option 1: Subdue the Phoenix Maiden of Destiny - Shen Siyu. Option reward: Upgrade the Rainbow Sword to a mid-grade fifth-tier spiritual weapon!
Option Two: Slay the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden—Shen Siyu. Reward: One bottle of low-purity Phoenix Blood!

When Cao Meng saw that the leader had logged in and posted a selection task, he didn't rush to make a choice, but instead asked:

"Master, Shen Siyu is the chosen one, so why did I never hear of her in my past life?"

Cao Meng felt that Shen Siyu, the model of a chosen one, must have become famous because her father didn't love her, her mother didn't love her, and her sister didn't like her. He had never heard of her in his previous life!
In response to Cao Meng's inquiry, the system provided the following reply:

"Host, in your past life you were either trying to please Su Qingyue, working for Qin Lin'er, or being chased by An Yingji. You didn't have time to pay attention to these things."

Moreover, Shen Siyu was taken away and left the Eastern Region Dao Continent!

After receiving the explanation from Tongzi, Cao Meng immediately made his choice:

"Chief, I choose one!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your Rainbow Sword has been upgraded to a mid-grade fifth-tier spiritual weapon."

Cao Meng had no choice but to choose option two. It wasn't that he was afraid to kill Shen Siyu, but rather that he was afraid of being tricked by the leader!
A bottle of low-purity phoenix blood!

A bottle of beast blood plus a drop of water from the Yellow River—this whole thing is supposedly Pangu's essence blood.

Who knows what this bottle of low-purity phoenix blood was made from, diluted with water!
