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

Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back. Cao Meng picked up a spoon and began feeding Yuwen Jing.

After a few spoonfuls of the spiritual food, Yuwen Jing's whole demeanor changed.

Xia Yulan and Cao Meng quickly stopped, after all, they didn't really want to poison Yuwen Jing.

Xia Yulan quickly unlocked the talisman on Yuwen Jing's body, only to see the other party fall to the ground from the chair like a lump of mud.

"Ugh~"

"Ugh~"

As Yuwen Jing continued to convulse, she was also vomiting violently, instantly shattering her image as an unparalleled fairy.

"What a waste!"

Xia Yulan cursed at Yuwen Jing's performance, thinking that Yuwen Jing's resistance to poison was not as good as Cao Meng's!
Just as Xia Yulan was about to help Yuwen Jing detoxify, Xi Feng broke through the void and arrived.

Seeing his eldest disciple Yuwen Jing in such a miserable state, Xi Feng was immediately enraged and sternly rebuked Xia Yulan:
"You unfilial disciple, do you even have any respect for me as your master? Do you even have any sense of camaraderie among your fellow disciples?!"

Xi Feng was cultivating peacefully in the forbidden secret realm of the Hehuan Sect when he suddenly learned that Xia Yulan had captured Yuwen Jing.

To avoid any trouble, she rushed over immediately, but it was too late.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Uncle Xifeng!"

When Cao Meng saw that Xi Feng, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, had arrived, he quickly bowed and greeted him. At the same time, he hoped that Xi Feng would not cause him any trouble.

After all, they're all in this together; they're our own people, and I'm the only outsider!
"Master~ Save~"

"Ugh~"

Yuwen Jing, who was half-dead on the ground, started vomiting violently again before she could finish a sentence.

I must say, Xia Yulan's spiritual food is truly amazing.

It only took a few bites to poison a Nascent Soul cultivator to such an extent; even a fifth-tier poison might not have such power.

To prevent her master Xi Feng from losing his temper, Xia Yulan quickly grabbed Yuwen Jing and took her hostage.

"You unfilial disciple, Jing'er is your senior sister, how could you lay a hand on her?"

Seeing Yuwen Jing's miserable state, Xi Feng scolded Xia Yulan again, feeling that Xia Yulan had really gone too far.

"She brought it on herself!"

"She wants to get back at me, but I'm not allowed to fight back?"

"Besides, she attacked first. She couldn't beat me, so who can she blame for being captured alive?"

"If it weren't for the fact that we're from the same sect, she would have been a corpse long ago, and I would have sold her to the Corpse Yin Sect!"

Xia Yulan was very self-righteous and did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

On the contrary, they felt that they had already shown mercy and done more than enough.

"You...you~"

Xi Feng, the Void Refinement stage ancestor, was so angry that he was speechless.

"Xi Feng, you're supposed to be a master, can't you be a little more fair? Don't be so biased towards Yuwen Jing!"

Seeing that Xi Feng was speechless, Xia Yulan didn't forget to add insult to injury.

"You unfilial disciple, you're saying I'm biased towards Jing'er?"

"Back then, you almost poisoned Jing'er to the point of ruin. Did I punish you? I only reprimanded you a few times!"

"How many people have you poisoned over the years? Several times you've even caused trouble in the forbidden area. Every time, I've covered for you, otherwise you would have been expelled from the Hehuan Sect long ago!"

Xi Feng felt that he was being biased, but his bias was all towards Xia Yulan.

Even though his master was so biased towards this rebellious disciple, the disciple still felt it wasn't enough and turned around and bit him.

Does this traitor have any conscience at all?!

"You sisters are killing yourselves; it's a misfortune for our sect!"

Xi Feng felt that it was a misfortune for her sect, and that it was all her fault.

It's all because I spoiled Xia Yulan too much in the past, which led to this rebellious disciple being so disrespectful and lawless!
"How about I give your Jing'er back to you?"

As Xi Feng exposed one thing after another, Xia Yulan felt a little guilty and handed over the hostage Yuwen Jing to Xi Feng.

After taking Yuwen Jing in, Xi Feng immediately began to remove the poison from her.

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened!"

After Xi Feng helped Yuwen Jing remove the poison, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuwen Jing's complexion began to improve at this moment, and her body began to gradually recover.

“You sisters are all at fault, can’t you all take a step back and turn hostility into friendship?”

As Xia Yulan's master, Xi Feng was naturally aware of the feud between Xia Yulan and Yuwen Jing.

Honestly, she felt that if the two sisters had each given a little more leeway, things wouldn't have escalated to this point, leading to mutual destruction among fellow disciples!
Xi Feng felt that he couldn't let Xia Yulan and Yuwen Jing continue to cause trouble. If they did, he might only have one of his two disciples left one day!

"Jing'er, you're the senior sister, set a good example by being more magnanimous!"

Xi Feng wanted to resolve the feud between Yuwen Jing and Xia Yulan. Although Xia Yulan was in the wrong first, she knew that it was basically impossible for her to get this rebellious disciple to let go of the feud first.

Therefore, she could only let her sensible eldest disciple, Yuwen Jing, set an example first. She believed that as long as Yuwen Jing put aside his grudges, that rebellious disciple would also put aside everything.

"Master, Xia Yulan and Cao Meng took liberties with me, took advantage of me, and even wanted me to become Cao Meng's furnace."

Once Yuwen Jing had recovered somewhat, she complained to Xi Feng.

"Xia Yulan, Cao Meng, you two despicable people have humiliated and poisoned me like this! I, Yuwen Jing, will never let this go!"

Yuwen Jing glared fiercely at Cao Meng and Xia Yulan. If her body hadn't not fully recovered, she would have already fought them both!
Xi Feng wants her to forgive Xia Yulan's evil deeds? That's impossible, absolutely impossible!
Xi Feng: Rebellious Disciple +1!

"Yuwen Jing, if you ever cause me trouble again, I promise I'll make you suffer even more than you did today!"

Xia Yulan sneered, completely disregarding Yuwen Jing's threat.

She can bring Yuwen Jing over to taste the dishes today, and she can do the same in the future!

"Ugh!"

Xi Feng sighed helplessly, knowing that his two disciples were like oil and water, and their relationship had completely broken down.

No, no, no, it's been at odds for a long time, we've been like oil and water for ages!
It's just that Xia Yulan wasn't strong enough to fight back before!

Left with no other choice, Xi Feng could only carry Yuwen Jing away through the void. As for resolving the feud between the two sisters, she would have to find another way!
……

After Yuwen Jing's incident, the following days became Cao Meng's nightmare.

Cao Meng's time these past few days has been meticulously arranged by Xia Yulan, leaving him with absolutely no free time.

During the day, when the yang energy is at its peak, Cao Meng uses the Yang-gathering array on Suqin Peak to absorb the power of the sun and frantically refine the Supreme Yang Pearl!

Since the yang energy is still lacking at night, the method of seeking immortality is refined.

As for Xue Wang Mi Cheng, it has also started to increase production. Fortunately, Cao Meng does not need to do everything himself in the pearl milk tea business. He only needs to authorize the employees of Xue Wang Mi Cheng!

...The Hehuan Sect dispatched fifty fifth-tier flying boats to divide the profits of the Golden Buddha Temple this time, and today the flying boats are returning home one by one.

In addition, three flying boats from the Beast Soul Sect followed the flying boats of the Joyful Union Sect into the Joyful Union Sect's territory.

After returning to the Hehuan Sect, Consort Duanmu glanced at the people who had come to greet her and was immediately displeased because some people had not come to greet her.

"Sect Leader Duanmu, Cao Meng and Senior Sister An actually didn't come to greet you. They really don't know how to respect their teachers at all!"

Zi Rou'er, who was behind Zi Xixue, noticed that Cao Meng and An Yingji hadn't come to greet her, so she immediately jumped out to stir things up.

Back then, this traitor Cao had humiliated her in every way in the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect, and now she had finally found an opportunity to take revenge.

And An Yingji, she actually allowed Cao Meng to bully her. She's no longer my senior sister An!
She wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work; she wanted to use Consort Duanmu to deal with this and that Cao traitor, so as to avenge her blood feud!
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Zi Xixue scolded her niece, Zi Rou'er, asking, "How can you say such things so casually? Isn't this just stirring up trouble between master and disciple?"

"Fei'er, perhaps Cao Meng and Yingji are busy with other matters right now and therefore cannot spare the time!"

Zi Xixue felt that by speaking well of Cao Meng and An Yingji, the two junior siblings, in front of Consort Duanmu today, these two juniors would have to support her and Consort Duanmu in the future!
"Xue'er, I would believe you if you said Yingji had something to take care of!"

As for that traitor, he might still be fooling around with Xia Yulan!

Consort Duanmu felt that Cao Meng was just asking for trouble. He didn't even come to greet his master when he returned, and he deserved to be taught a lesson.

I'll settle all the old and new scores with that traitor, and find a place to hang him up and beat him.

Zi Xixue felt that Cao Meng was beyond saving and could only hope that he would have good luck!
However, Zi Xixue felt that her concubine's words sounded somewhat resentful, as if she was jealous!
You're probably overthinking it. They're master and apprentice, how could there be jealousy or resentment between them!
"Whee!"

Zi Rou'er covered her mouth and giggled. From what Duanmu Fei had just said, she knew that Cao Meng was finished!
Cao Cao, your retribution is coming!

Suqin Peak...

Cao Meng had just woken up when the great demon suddenly sought him out to exchange cultivation insights. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, he was defeated!

Cao Meng was unwilling to accept defeat because the great demon had actually used the method of replenishing yin with yang energy, which was simply cheating!

Xia Yulan absorbed Cao Meng's yang energy for one night, successfully breaking through her shackles and advancing to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage!

Xia Yulan nestled against Cao Meng's chest and giggled:

"Cao Meng, Senior Sister Duanmu has already entered the sect and should be returning to Suqin Peak soon. Have you thought of an excuse to explain this?"

Xia Yulan knew that Consort Duanmu would be returning today, so yesterday she deliberately sought out Cao Meng to have an in-depth discussion about her cultivation experiences!

"!!!"

Cao Meng was stunned. How could he have forgotten that the female demon was coming back today?
"hiss~"

Just as Cao Meng was about to get up, his back pain made him gasp for breath!
"Um!"

"Cao Meng, even your Furnace Saint Body isn't up to par!"

Xia Yulan covered her mouth and laughed, but it was only a superficial laugh.

After all, she had gone all out last night, using the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator to fully replenish Cao Meng's essence.

Let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a half-step Void Refinement stage cultivator could only last for a quarter of an hour at most, but Cao Meng, with his Nascent Soul fifth level cultivation, managed to hold out for a whole day and night, and almost defeated her!

"Uncle-Master Xia, you've tricked me again!"

Cao Meng knew that the great demon was deliberately setting him up, intentionally trying to prevent him from meeting the female demon and wanting her to cause him trouble.

"Cao Meng, how can you blame me? Isn't it your own fault for being obsessed with women!"

Xia Yulan felt that she had tricked Cao Meng, but it was not because the other party lacked self-control. If the other party had strong self-control, he would have been tempted by her.

Despite the pain in his lower back, Cao Meng looked in the jade mirror and saw how haggard he looked, and couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, wine and women corrupt one's mind, harm one's body, and make one haggard.

Cao Meng made up his mind to quit drinking and not continue down this path of depravity!

Wine: Cao Meng, your health condition has nothing to do with me!
Cao Meng, you haven't mentioned a word about abstaining from sex!

Cao Meng vowed in his heart that he must cultivate diligently in the future. Only by improving his cultivation level could he subdue the great demon Xia Yulan and make her obedient and dare not trick him!

Cao Meng knew his immediate predicament and quickly made up an excuse.

The female demon is about to return to Suqin Peak. It would be too late for me to go and greet her now. I need a suitable excuse so that I won't be taken advantage of by the female demon!
Fortunately, Senior Sister Yuanzi is in the process of forming her Nascent Soul, so she probably didn't go to greet me. This means I have one more person to help me share the firepower!
No, am I messing around with a powerful demon? I'm clearly practicing diligently, trying to break through to a higher realm, which is why I can't face the female demon!

Once he had come up with an excuse, Cao Meng immediately began his performance, quickly putting on his clothes and sitting cross-legged.

Cao Meng first took out some elixirs to restore his qi and blood, swallowed them, and then summoned his commander:
"System, open the attribute panel."

……

Host: Cao Meng!
Cultivation level: Fifth level of Nascent Soul! (Each level up in the Nascent Soul stage costs five million low-grade spirit stones!)
Physique: Ten-Day Sacred Body (Triple Yang!) (Upgradeable with 1 billion low-grade spirit stones!)

Innate Metal Body (Great Completion) (Requires 10 billion low-grade spirit stones; can be upgraded!)

Occupation: Rank 3 Refiner (100% success rate for Rank 3 Spiritual Weapons) (10 million low-grade spirit stones, can be upgraded!)

First-Class Spiritual Cuisine Master (100% success rate for Tier 1 spiritual cuisine) (10,000 low-grade spirit stones, can be upgraded!)
Balance: 2214 million low-grade spirit stones!
Cao Meng looked at the more than 20 million low-grade spirit stones, more than half of which were provided by the pink-haired fox Hong Qi. He would have to pluck her fur whenever he had time!

Although Cao Meng had taken elixirs to restore his health, the damage caused by wine and women couldn't be healed so quickly.

Cao Meng decisively upgraded his cultivation level, clicking it three times in a row.

"After deducting 15 million low-grade spirit stones, the Nascent Soul level 5 has been upgraded to the Nascent Soul level 8!"

"Friendly reminder: You currently have 714 million low-grade spirit stones in your account!"

After Cao Meng's cultivation level increased by three minor realms, his nascent soul underwent another change, transforming into a young man!

At the same time, his body, which had been damaged by alcohol and women, had fully recovered.

"call!"

Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had recovered, the female demon should not be able to tell the difference.

Don't ask why Cao Meng didn't spend all seven million low-grade spirit stones at once.
Because once you spend all your money now, it's really over!
He deliberately saved these spirit stones, planning to spend them on upgrades in front of the evil spirits when they came to investigate and interrogate him, thus saving his life!

"???"

"what's the situation?"

Xia Yulan was immediately stunned. She was completely dumbfounded when she saw Cao Meng break through three realms in one go!

My cultivation level didn't drop, so why did Cao Meng's cultivation level suddenly increase so much?

It was clearly she who drained Cao Meng's energy for a day and a night, not the other way around!

You have to understand that her cultivation level was already close to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. It took her a whole day and night of hard work to successfully break through!
This guy broke through three realms in the blink of an eye. Could it be that he has been suppressing his cultivation all along?
Xia Yulan was completely baffled and was extremely frustrated!
"Uncle Xia, hurry up and put your clothes on!"

Seeing that the great demon was still naked, Cao Meng quickly draped his clothes over her body.

After all, if the great demon is still naked, it won't matter how well he acts then.

Xia Yulan hugged Cao Meng and giggled softly:
"You little rascal, it's a pity you broke through your cultivation too early. If you had broken through later, you could have broken the deadlock, and you'd be waiting to suffer Duanmu Fei's wrath."

After threatening Cao Meng, Xia Yulan began to put on her clothes. (End of Chapter)
