Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

It was rare to see Ji Xiaoxiao take the initiative to make a joke.

His hands were shaking like he had Parkinson's, and tea was spilling everywhere. Seeing this, Ji Xiaoxiao stopped teasing him and took the initiative to comfort him.

"Don't worry, your senior sister already knew about this and won't hurt you."

She gave a gentle smile and stood up from the chair. Her tall figure and slender curves were enough to make people have some fantasies, but unfortunately, Lu had no such thoughts at the moment.

She reached out and gently stroked the boy's head. A cool breeze flowed down from the top of his head, gradually calming his wildly beating heart. It was as if her spiritual energy possessed a righteous and mellow quality, and his tension slowly disappeared.

"alright."

Seeing Lu Cheng's nervous appearance, Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile.

Originally, she didn't intend to reveal this matter, but if it conflicted with the Sword Sect's techniques and the techniques within Lu Cheng's body, even she had to bring it up, otherwise Lu Cheng would not be able to cultivate normally in the future.

"From the very first day we met, I knew that you had a special constitution and were most likely the successor of that Senior Shen."

"At first, I suspected that you might be the reincarnation of Senior Shen or someone who had possessed his body, but later I found that your soul was clear and bright, without any shadows, and your style was completely opposite to that of that senior. Moreover, your soul and body were integrated into one, without any disharmony."

"So both of these possibilities can be ruled out. I think it should be that when that senior fell into the Demon Suppression Abyss, he ignited his cultivation, and a wisp of starlight happened to fall into Jingnan, which was then snatched away by you, who was born at that time."

"For you, this is both an unexpected disaster and a tremendous opportunity. Besides, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

"You have been law-abiding and diligent since childhood, and apart from being a bit frivolous, you have done nothing wrong. What reason do I have to hold you accountable?"

"Moreover, you have made numerous contributions since you began cultivating, whether it is solving cases or uncovering the mastermind behind them, you have contributed to the success."

"The power you possess is not a fault; it depends on the user's mindset. If you can utilize this power to walk the righteous path, slay demons and eliminate evil, then it will be a blessing for the cultivation world and for the entire world."

"Have you calmed down now?"

Fairy Ji's palms were very warm.

His body stopped trembling, and his fear vanished completely. He looked up at his senior sister, who was smiling, and for a moment he felt a little dazed.

At first, he thought the only difference between top cultivators and low-level cultivators like himself was their cultivation level and various methods, but now it seems that the difference in their realms is not on the same level.

It is not a state of cultivation, but a state of mind and mentality, a state that is completely detached from worldly affairs.

"I've calmed down. Thank you for your concern, senior sister."

"Yes, please ask any questions you may have."

He sat back down, holding the fruit tea in his hands, completely captivated.

Although she didn't say she liked it, it was easy to see her fondness for it from her constant drinking. With Ji Xiaoxiao's cultivation level, she had long since reached the stage of abstaining from grains without needing to eat. For her, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was her food, and her lifespan was quite long.

but.

Cravings are something that no matter how advanced one's spiritual level, one cannot avoid.

"Senior sister, how did you find out?"

"That day, over a hundred people in the entire North Street Corpse-Dragging Alley were corrupted, but you were completely unaffected. That's one reason. As for the second reason, your cultivation speed clearly improved after you touched those dead or demons, so you can naturally guess a thing or two."

"..."

He didn't expect that he was the only one who thought he hadn't been exposed.

Seeing Lu Cheng's utterly hopeless expression, Ji Xiaoxiao found that teasing her junior brother was sometimes quite amusing. Instead of further embarrassing Lu Cheng, she took the initiative to change the subject.

"Junior brother, let me clear up your doubts first, regarding the conflict between the inheritance you possess and our Sword Sect's techniques..."

Meanwhile, in a secluded house not too far from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, two people were also plotting something.

"My lord, that is the situation today."

"Eunuch Li went straight to the mortuary in Tuoshi Lane in the north of the city and read out the news of the establishment of the Thirteenth Banner in front of Lu Cheng and many other banner officers."

"We haven't seen Eunuch Li since then. He must still be there. We dare not go and investigate. Given Eunuch Li's level of cultivation, any overstepping of his authority would be detected."

"Furthermore, it is suspected that other experts have infiltrated the city. This person's cultivation level is probably no lower than yours, and they are suspected to be experts from the Demon Realm."

"The Master hasn't taken many actions; it must be with her permission..."

In the shadows, someone was reporting on the day's events.

The room was dimly lit, making it impossible to see who was inside, but the sounds and movements suggested that only two people were having a private conversation, and they sounded somewhat familiar, similar to the people from the previous meeting.

With a furrowed brow and heavy dark circles under his eyes, it was clear that the official referred to as "Sir" was quite exhausted lately. Since the series of events that occurred in Jingnan, he had not had a good night's sleep and was extremely tired.

"Yes, it's alright."

"Although Lord Li is the Right Demon Suppression Envoy, he is only nominally in charge of the Jingnan Demon Suppression Division. His arrival in Jingnan after so many years must be with the intention of the imperial court."

"As for the demon expert who infiltrated Jingnan, I have already made some progress. She is a very important figure. Do not disturb her. Just pretend nothing happened. She will return on her own after she finishes her business."

"The plan may have changed. The little schemes of Youwang City should not be able to be realized. When Lord Li meets that important figure from the Demon Realm, they can detect that something is amiss simply by comparing their accounts."

"Perhaps they have already become wary of the You Kingdom. After all, quite a few ghost cultivators hiding in Jingnan have been unearthed. Let's retreat first. After this incident, it shouldn't be long before Master Ji leaves Jingnan."

"I have met with Chief Ji. Although he is seriously injured, his strength is still extraordinary. It is unlikely that the two countries will go to war. As long as Chief Ji steps down to the second line, even if he does not give up the position of Chief, I can take back the power of Jingnan."

"Da Yue currently only has two experts at the seventh level, one guarding the northern border and the other guarding the capital. There is no way they can send another expert who is above the seventh level."

"The only trouble now is Lu Cheng; I never expected the inheritance to be on him."

"well……"

He sighed.

His brow was a little sore, and he felt irritable and anxious whenever he thought about Lu Cheng.

Yes, he knew that Lu Cheng was the mysterious successor, and his deduction method was almost identical to Su Su's, for a very simple reason.

After an ordinary person is tainted by demonic possession, not only does his body not show any abnormalities, but he even exhibits phenomena of grassroots rise and extraordinary talent. Ordinary cultivators may not realize this, but he is no ordinary cultivator.

How could someone at his level not notice it?

The cooperation with You Kingdom originally had multiple purposes, especially the desire to utilize their corpse refining techniques. Lu Cheng, on the other hand, had mastered Shen Zangyuan's inheritance, making this undoubtedly the perfect match for him.

and so.

Lu Cheng "coincidentally" obtained the Corpse Refining Technique, and even "coincidentally" learned from Lian Daozi that there was a secret method that could inject the soul of another person into a refined corpse, not only giving the corpse the ability it possessed in life, but also the memories of its previous life.

The word "resurrection" is not an exaggeration to describe it.

"I've been keeping a low profile lately."

"I will find a way to help Lu Cheng rise to the top and give him more opportunities. As long as he's not too stupid, he should understand who's pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"Once his cultivation level advances to the next level, we can reveal our true intentions, and he won't refuse."

"The only thing that worries me is..."

shook his head.

He had an inexplicable feeling that there were not only three top experts in this city: Ji Xiaoxiao, the demon clan expert, and Eunuch Li.

I always feel like there's another pair of eyes watching me.
