Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 166 Temptation

The sun was shining brightly in the early morning.

Luo Qingchen led Chen Ya out of the cave and arrived at the management office on the main peak.

The office had just opened.

Fei Yan was organizing documents in the wooden house.

Luo Qingchen stepped forward respectfully and said, "Manager Fei, this is your disciple Luo Qingchen, bringing the medicine person to register."

Fei Yan looked up at him, then glanced at the girl behind him, and laughed, "You're quite impatient, aren't you? You just came up yesterday, and your master hasn't even found someone yet, but you've already brought the medicine man up?"

As he spoke, he reached out and asked, "Do you have her previous waist tag and the documents below it?"

'

Luo Qingchen quickly handed over the waist token and documents that she had prepared beforehand.

"Medicine Man Town, Chen Ya————"

Fei Yan carefully read through the document, his gaze falling on the sentence, "The cultivation method is not from our sect, and its origin is unknown."

He looked up and asked, "Junior Nephew Luo, is she not practicing the techniques of our Demon-Slaying Sect?"

Luo Qingchen nodded and said, "This disciple doesn't know where she obtained the cultivation technique."

"I----"

Chen Ya seemed afraid that the white-haired old man wouldn't register her, and a look of anxiety immediately appeared on her face. She seemed to want to explain something, but didn't dare to speak.

"It doesn't matter."

Fei Yan smiled kindly at her and began to make a waist tag for her.

Before long, the waist tag was made.

"Come here, drip in a drop of blood."

A small black wooden plaque was placed on the counter.

Chen Ya quickly stepped forward, bit her fingertip, and let a drop of blood fall.

The blood fell onto the wooden sign and was instantly absorbed.

The wooden plaque glowed slightly, revealing several small, scarlet characters: Inner Sect Medicine Peak, Chen Ya, Luo Qingchen's Medicine Man.

"Alright, from now on you can wear this waist token and freely enter and exit certain places, including your master's cave."

Fei Yan smiled meaningfully.

Chen Ya blushed, timidly thanked him, and carefully put away her waist token.

Luo Qingchen couldn't help but ask, "Senior, when will this disciple be able to obtain the inner sect cultivation techniques? Also, regarding Master—"

"You'll have to wait a bit longer regarding Master's matter; it can't be rushed."

Fei Yan smiled, took out two books from the drawer, and handed them to him, saying, "As for inner sect cultivation techniques, these two are the most basic techniques for the Opening Aperture Realm. One teaches you how to sense and absorb the profound energy of heaven and earth, and the other teaches you how to refine and utilize it. Take them back and take a look. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the other senior brothers and sisters on Medicine Peak. After you are assigned a master, your master will personally teach you. As for other techniques, you cannot cultivate them now. Only after you have mastered these two basic techniques can you continue to cultivate other techniques."

"Thank you, senior."

Luo Qingchen quickly took the two books.

Fei Yan glanced at the pretty girl behind him again, then hesitated for a moment, as if suddenly remembering something. His expression turned slightly serious, and he reminded her, "Junior Nephew Luo, you come from Medicine Man Town and know how difficult cultivation is. Now that you've entered the inner sect, you must not slack off, nor be distracted by other things."

Seemingly afraid he wouldn't understand, he added directly, "This young girl is very beautiful. It's fine for you to keep her in the cave; beauty is pleasing to the eye and uplifting. But you must remember, don't become obsessed. Our Demon-Slaying Sect's cultivation method is somewhat special. Once you become obsessed with something, your desires and emotions will be amplified infinitely. In that case, you'll become increasingly obsessed with that thing, leading you down a path of no return, wasting your cultivation, and ruining your promising life."

Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will remember it well."

The girl behind him had her head down, her face flushed, and her lips were pouting.

At this moment, other disciples came over to handle some business.

Luo Qingchen took Chen Ya and left.

He carried the cultivation manual in his arms, eager to return to his cave for a medicinal bath and cultivation.

Only after mastering these two basic techniques can one begin to cultivate soul arts.

However, according to what that senior Fei said, cultivating these two techniques may require guidance from a master or other senior brothers and sisters.

Hopefully, this time, someone will be willing to be his mentor.

As for killing a master, that shouldn't happen to him, right?

Of course, he couldn't guarantee it either.

They walked in silence, quickly crossed the wooden bridge, and reached the Medicine Peak.

He turned his head and glanced at you, saying, "What's wrong with you? Why are you pouting?"

"Ah, I, I didn't—"

Chen Ya was lost in thought when she heard this and was startled. She quickly covered her mouth, and her delicate, pink face blushed under the morning sun.

"When you get back, help me start a fire and brew the medicine; I want a medicinal bath."

Luo Qingchen continued walking forward.

Inside the cave, new medicinal herbs and magic stones have been prepared.

"Yes, Master."

Chen Ya nodded quickly, stealing a glance at him with her watery eyes.

The two quickly returned to their cave.

Luo Qingchen entered the stone chamber and began to seriously read the first book on inner sect breathing techniques.

Chen Ya went to the stove to start a fire and brew medicine.

"Call me after the water boils, and I'll add the medicinal herbs."

Luo Qingchen was worried that there might be problems with her first medicinal bath, so she was a little uneasy.

"oh."

Chen Ya obediently agreed from outside.

"Calm your mind, meditate, breathe slowly, and feel the breath of heaven and earth —"

Luo Qingchen looked at the book, which had text descriptions and illustrations, and it didn't seem too difficult.

Just as he was about to try it out after reading it, Chen Ya's voice came from outside: "Master, the water is boiling."

Luo Qingchen put down her books, left the stone chamber, and went to the stove outside.

The water in the iron pot had already begun to boil.

He took out the medicinal herbs from his storage bag, placed them on the table next to him, and began to put them into the pot in strict order.

These medicinal herbs all seem to be older than the previous ones, and their aroma is also more intense.

Chen Ya stood to the side, silently noting the order in which he placed the medicine.

Would you like a medicinal bath?

Luo Qingchen suddenly looked at her and asked.

Chen Ya was taken aback, and quickly shook her head: "I—I don't need a medicinal bath."

"When did you stop using medicinal baths?"

Luo Qingchen asked again.

Chen Ya blushed instantly, lowered her head, and said, "Ever since—ever since that time I broke into Master's room, Master has—"

"Did she teach you a new cultivation technique?"

Luo Qingchen stared intently at her.

Chen Ya was about to nod when she suddenly remembered what her master had said, forbidding her to tell anyone, and immediately shook her head.

"It seems you broke through to the Blood Exchange Realm by relying on a cultivation technique you found."

Luo Qingchen made a joke and didn't press the matter further.

He grew increasingly puzzled and curious: who exactly was this Senior Sister Bai?

Since she came down from the mountain, she should be a disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect. But why would she teach this little girl a technique that doesn't belong to the Demon Extermination Sect?

"Has Senior Sister Bai ever taken a medicinal bath? Or, has she used your blood?"

He suddenly thought of this problem.

Chen Ya hesitated for a moment, then, remembering that her master hadn't instructed her to keep this a secret, she shook her head and said, "Master—"

I have never prepared medicinal baths before.

Never brewed or taken a medicinal bath before?

Luo Qingchen's expression changed, and she thought to herself: If that's really the case, then it means that she is not practicing the Demon-Suppressing Sect's techniques!

A disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect who is not practicing the Demon Extermination Sect's techniques?

Also, that Senior Sister Bai looks very young, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old. A Yao also said that she is eighteen years old. At such an age, she should be a promising young woman continuing her cultivation. Why would she suddenly go down the mountain to open a pharmacy in Yaoren Town and deal with medicine and patients every day?

Could it be that, like others, he was unable to continue cultivating due to serious physical injuries, so he found something to do?

However, the others all seemed to be disciples or elders of the Demon Extermination Sect.

And she—

Thinking about all this, he felt that Senior Sister Bai seemed to be getting more and more mysterious.

"My master is amazing; she can fly."

At this moment, Chen Ya suddenly said something else.

She seemed to realize that he was very interested in her master, and in order to talk to him more, she was willing to share some of the things she knew.

"Can it fly?"

Luo Qingchen was taken aback and asked, "You've seen it before?"

Chen Ya shook her head and said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but A Yao saw it. A Yao said that Master really can fly."

It was raining that day, and suddenly an injured little bird flew onto the roof, chirping incessantly. A-Yao begged me to go up and rescue the bird. I went to the backyard to get a ladder, but as soon as I looked up, I saw my master already standing on the roof, holding the injured little bird in his hands.

"And then? How did she get down?"

Luo Qingchen asked.

Chen Ya shook her head again and said, "I had just put the ladder down and looked up at the roof when Master was gone. When I went back to the front, I found Master standing in the counter, wiping the feathers of that little bird. A Yao said that Master flew down."

Luo Qingchen's expression shifted, and she thought to herself: Even inner disciples can't fly; at most, they can leap using leverage. If that Senior Sister Bai really can fly, then—could she be a monster?

"Master, do you...do you like Master?"

This was the first time Chen Ya had ever seen him care so much about someone. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask.

Luo Qingchen snapped out of her daze and looked at her, saying, "I was just asking casually."

He picked up the spatula and began stirring the herbs in the pot.

Chen Ya glanced at him again, thinking to herself: If he didn't answer "I don't like it," then he likes it.

She secretly envied her master, thinking to herself, "My master is so beautiful, so powerful, and so kind-hearted. And—she has such big breasts and smells so good. If I were a man, I would like her too."

"My master has a natural, unique fragrance."

Seeing that he was no longer paying attention to her, she couldn't help but try to entice him with another sentence.

Luo Qingchen turned to look at her: "What do you mean by 'natural fragrance'?"

Sure enough, he was interested.

She explained, "It's just that she has a natural fragrance, not the scent of medicine. Things that Master has touched, water she has bathed in, towels she has used, and even places she has walked in all retain her body fragrance. Ayao said that Master is a natural fragrant fairy."

Then she stared at him and said, "Even the skirts, embroidered shoes, and stockings that Master wore smelled so good. Master, if you don't believe me, I have some skirts that Master wore right here, you can—"

"Shut up!"

Luo Qingchen's expression suddenly changed, she stopped her from speaking, and then stared at her coldly, saying, "Don't talk to me about these things again next time, and don't mention her again."

Seeing his slightly flushed face and somewhat rapid breathing, Chen Ya's eyes flickered. She lowered her head and obediently admitted her mistake: "Master, Aya will never dare to do it again."

Luo Qingchen put down the spatula and said, "Help me stir it."

After saying that, he turned and left, entering the stone chamber.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and took deep breaths for a while before opening them again.

"The demonic arts of Hehuan Peak are truly terrifying—"

Thinking of the various images of men and women that had suddenly surfaced in his mind, and how that originally blurry couple had suddenly become himself and—that Senior Sister Bai—he felt a lingering fear.

The advice of that senior Fei was indeed correct.

He needs to be more careful in the future.

After thinking for a moment, he glanced at the doorway again and decided to install doors on the doors of the two stone chambers as soon as possible.

After calming himself down, he continued to carefully study the breathing exercises.

Outside, Chen Ya stirred the herbs in the pot while secretly glancing inside, thinking to herself: It seems Master is indeed interested in Master's health.

"Why----"

She couldn't help but sigh softly, then lowered her head to look at her chest, silently wishing: Grow up quickly, grow up like Master—

"Gurgle, gurgle—"

Soon, the medicinal broth in the pot began to boil.

After simmering for a while longer, feeling it was almost ready, she quickly called out to the inside, "Master, the medicine seems to be ready."

""

"Turn off the fire."

Luo Qingchen came out, glanced at the pot, picked up the spatula and stirred it for a while, then sniffed the aroma before bringing over the bath tub and starting to fill it with the medicinal liquid.

"Junior Brother Luo!"

Just then, Song Qilin's voice suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Junior Brother Luo, are you in your cave? Uncle Wang wants to see you. He says he needs to talk to you, it seems to be about assigning you the task of managing your master."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen immediately instructed the girl beside her, "Pour the medicinal liquid from the bucket back into the pot, cover it with the lid, and don't remove all the charcoal from the bottom to maintain the temperature. Remember to come back and stir it all in fifteen minutes, making sure the bottom of the pot doesn't burn."

Chen Ya nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Master, I will be careful."

At this point, the medicinal broth in the pot had not yet fused with the magic stone, nor had any blood been dripped, so even if something went wrong, it wouldn't really matter.

Luo Qingchen gave her a few more instructions, telling her not to go out casually, and then went to open the cave door.

Song Qilin stood not far from the door. When he saw him come out, he said with a big smile, "Junior Brother Luo, congratulations. I reckon an elder will accept you as a personal disciple today."

Luo Qingchen thanked him and asked, "Which elders are there?"

Song Qilin led the way, saying, "I don't know either. Uncle Wang just asked me to come and inform you to go over. But don't worry, compared to other peaks, our Medicine Peak doesn't have too many direct disciples, so there are definitely enough spots."

Luo Qingchen thought to herself: It's not a matter of quotas, but whether or not the master will be killed.

The two walked and chatted as they went.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ya was stirring the medicinal liquid in the pot inside her cave when a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Who?"

She asked, puzzled.

But there was no response from outside the door; the knocking continued.

A look of vigilance crossed her face. She put down the shovel, quickly returned to the room, took out a dagger, and looked towards the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Outside the door, someone was still banging on it.

"Who?"

She asked again and quietly walked to the door.
