"Hehehe, I knew it was stupid."
Whoops!
Master, why did you hit me again!
"You can insult the founder, but you can't insult your master to his face!"
The old man spoke sternly.
To insult one's master to his face is outrageous!
"When I was your age, I also followed my master and traveled all over the country."
I said the same thing to you back then.
After experiencing many things, without realizing it, I became just like your grandmaster.
"Master, why don't you take on two more disciples?"
"I'm the only heir in the sect. What if I'm not stupid in the future? Wouldn't our sect's lineage end?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan spoke somewhat nervously.
"Hahaha, you underestimate my judgment."
Do you think I don't want to take on more disciples?
Resources are scarce in the world today. It's enough to support just one of you. If you take on more disciples, I'll work myself to death and still not be able to support you.
If our lineage truly breaks down, then it can only be considered our sect's destiny.
The patriarch won't blame me.
"By the way, Master."
When can I get a real sword?
How many wooden swords have we gone through?
Our sect is, after all, called the Shushan Sword Sect.
It contains the character for "sword".
This log cabin isn't even as detailed as the toys city kids have.
Lu Yuan looked at the sword on his master's back with envy.
"Let's practice for now."
"Your time hasn't come yet. Only when Gu Hongying truly masters the art will I give you a real sword."
"I've already mastered it."
Isn't this what ordinary martial arts masters use?
Lu Yuan looked puzzled. Gu Hongying had not only entered the sect, but had also achieved minor success. His master even praised him for his rapid progress.
"The Lone Wild Goose Shadow is the core mental technique of the sect. Only by practicing it to a deep level and understanding its mysteries can one make further progress."
Did you come out of thin air to help me build my foundation?
"Master, if I master the Lone Wild Goose Shadow Technique, will I truly be able to fly on a sword like you?"
"nature."
"I'll practice!"
The master and his apprentice walked swiftly along the valley.
Lin'an Village.
This is a village located at the border of the Demon Sect. Calling it a village is an understatement; it's more like a trading place used by people who live on the mountain.
On the nearby mountains, scattered hunters, woodcutters, herb gatherers, and others, for various reasons, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, have all gathered here to make a living from the mountains.
This village was the destination for Lu Yuan and his apprentice.
"Master, someone's stealing our jobs!"
As soon as the master and apprentice arrived at the village, they saw a thatched hut erected on the edge of the village. A child about the same age as Lu Yuan was sitting in the hut taking someone's pulse.
"What are you saying!"
Unexpectedly, there are people in the world who think the same way we do.
"I'll take you to pay a visit."
"what?
"Isn't that just a child?"
"He's much stronger than you; he's already at the fifth level of Qi Refining."
[The goal is to collect one hundred souls and blood within a specified time without causing a major disturbance.]
[You've come up with a plan: to disguise yourself as a doctor and treat patients.]
The survival of the Demonic Sect is not based on lofty ideals; it also depends on these ordinary people.
As the largest village and trading center in the area, Lin'an Village was observed by numerous demonic sects, both large and small, surrounding it.
[Anyone who tries to disrupt things will be dealt with decisively.]
These are your targets.
[Before the old man and the young man even arrived at Lin'an Village, you already knew their whereabouts.]
Just as you were wondering why the two had come to Lin'an Village, they walked straight towards you.
After the other party identified themselves and stated their purpose, you said, "I've long admired your name," exchanged a few pleasantries, and then fell silent.
[The junior disciple, however, angrily retorted that you disrespect others and didn't even dare to state your own name.]
You smiled and shook your head, saying only that you had no name or surname and that you couldn't reveal your lineage, before ignoring the other person.
The master and his disciple built a new thatched hut next to where you were standing.
[Judging from their appearance, it seems their original intention was also to practice medicine, but upon seeing you here, they changed their minds and instead began teaching the local people other ways to make a living.]
That night, the old man chatted with you briefly, not probing for your information, but sincerely expressed his gratitude.
[You felt a little strange. It was quite interesting that a righteous cultivator was thanking a demonic cultivator.]
You were puzzled by the other person's attitude and asked them another question.
The other party stated that selfish cultivators are everywhere in the world today, while those who serve the people are few and far between.
Now that I've met someone who shares my values, I can't help myself.
Seeing that the other party seemed to intend to stay, you tried to persuade them to leave.
[You've been here for several days now. Judging by the time, the people from the various demonic sects should have arrived by now.]
If the other party doesn't leave, they will definitely be drawn in.
On one hand, this old man is incredibly powerful, and you can't ascertain his true strength. Once the battle begins, it will be difficult for you to collect souls, making it extremely easy to expose your true identity. If you then provoke him to attack, your entire plan could very well be ruined.
On the other hand, you also felt compassion.
After all, Lu Yuan was just an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate Qi.
Chapter 53 Good and Evil
[The other party didn't take your words to heart, or rather, they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the demonic cultivator.]
As night fell, you heard rustling sounds in the woods, and with your previous preparations coming to fruition, you knew the person you were waiting for had arrived.
However, the old man reacted even faster than you, striking the moment the demonic cultivator got close.
[At the same time, it's shouting loudly to remind you.]
Seeing your carefully laid trap destroyed, you feel helpless but have no choice but to grit your teeth and fight back fiercely against your opponent.
[As expected of a Foundation Establishment expert, none of the Qi Refining demonic cultivators could withstand more than two moves from him.]
Within the short span of half an incense stick's time, nearly twenty members of five or six demonic sects in the surrounding area had all perished in Lin'an Village.
[You took advantage of the chaos of the battle to absorb the souls of several people.]
[These people possess soul strength ten times that required for this mission.]
[Theoretically, you only need ten souls to complete the task.]
However, while you were struggling with how to collect the remaining souls, the other party had their sights set on you.
You are nervous inside, but your face remains calm.
[They secretly prepared for a counterattack.]
After a brief silence, the other party stated that they would pursue him into the mountains, and that the child who came with them would be entrusted to your care.
He will be back before dawn.
After speaking, the other person went straight into the mountain, seemingly trusting you completely.
[Using the residual array's perception, you realized the other party had indeed entered the mountain. Ignoring whether they would return, you hurriedly used the gourd to collect their souls before they dissipated.]
[With just one battle, you have exceeded expectations.]
But after the initial excitement, you knew in your heart that these souls couldn't be used to complete the task; they were for your own use.
If the execution of this massacre plan is carried out by only one person, then naturally there will be no problem.
But now, there's another sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.
If the major demonic sects were to investigate this matter thoroughly, they might convict him of betraying his own side.
You quickly collected the souls and checked on the child's condition.
[You wouldn't believe it, despite the constant shouts and screams of battle outside, the other party was still sound asleep.]
[After completing the verification, just as you were about to leave, you suddenly realized that the entire thatched hut was fraught with danger.]
[You can see at least three sword formations.]
[This will be triggered immediately if anyone lays a hand on the child.]
