Chapter 6, is it really such a good thing?
"I did not expect that the Chongming Sect, which claims to be the Holy Sect, is so vile in private," Pei Ling spoke with righteous indignation. "Thank you, Daoist Wu, for informing me. I originally had some admiration for the Chongming Sect, but it seems now that it is nothing more than a den of tigers and wolves! To treat the elders of the sect in such a manner is truly disgraceful."
He is also a disciple of the Chongming Sect. He fled thousands of miles away in a short period of time and stayed outside for a full year and a half before returning to the mountain gate. By this time, the alluring bone Rakshasa had long since been unable to endure hunger and had turned to find the next target, thus abandoning him.
A flash of ruthlessness and astonishment crossed his face, and he hurriedly dispersed the poised Five Poisons Finger, rising to give chase
"No, no, no, Daoist Wu has misunderstood." Pei Ling racked his brains to buy time, "It's just that I have never seen a jade slip... By the way, Daoist Wu, which direction do you think we should head after we escape from Yuanla Mountain? To be honest, I have never left Luquan City in my life, and if I need to flee thousands of miles away, I truly do not know where to go"
The subsequent events unfolded naturally, as the Chongming Sect has always adhered to the principle of the survival of the fittest
Generally speaking, unless Zheng Jingshan actively unbinds you, the Enchanting Bone Rakshasa Diagram, having remembered your aura, will subsequently follow you like a shadow, draining your vital energy... In any case, I have not heard of any cultivator in the Qi Refining stage who has been targeted by the Enchanting Bone Rakshasa Diagram being able to escape disaster
Wu Tingxi listened, a faint smile appearing on his face, and weakly said: "Then you better hurry, otherwise if Zheng Jingshan comes in person, it will be hard to say. By the way, I am currently seriously injured, and I am afraid I will have to trouble you to assist me."
Pei Ling's heart sank as she quickly turned around, only to see Wu Tingxi approaching with a mocking expression, his fingertips flickering with green light, and he sneered, "Why aren't you running now?"
Is it really true that such good things exist
Also because he was the least powerful, everyone disregarded him, yet he surprisingly lived until the end
Pei Ling was running in the unfamiliar dark corridor, taking steps that were sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, silently praying that Wu Tingxi's injuries were more severe, or that he was simply too afraid to pursue her. However, things did not go as hoped; after not running for long, she heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind.
Pei Ling watched his actions, feeling extremely anxious. Just as he was about to find an excuse to ask him to slow down and put away the jade slip, the system chimed: "The unfamiliar technique has been recorded. Please name it!"
He stood up with great determination, moved his hands and feet slightly, felt that the problem was not significant in the short term, and without any hesitation, turned around and ran away
The wind that was previously felt, however, was blowing out from several holes that were not much larger than a fist
He now just wants to leave immediately and fly far away.
If Elder Luo were still alive and had successfully transitioned his cultivation, then his lineage would certainly rejoice. However, with his passing and his disciples still not having matured, they are fundamentally incapable of safeguarding the interests of his lineage. Consequently, other outer sect elders of the Chongming Sect, as well as inner sect disciples like Zheng Jingshan, have flocked to seize his resources.
Thank you, Daoist Wu. " Pei Ling was somewhat skeptical of his words and was lost in thought when he suddenly saw Wu Tingxi wearing a smile that seemed both genuine and mocking, saying: "Since both you and I need to avoid Zheng Jingshan, how about I make a deal with you?"
"Let it be called the Nameless Technique." At this moment, Pei Ling had no intention of naming it, casually dismissing the system. He said to Wu Tingxi, "Alright, I am familiar with Yuanlao Mountain, so you can rest assured, Daoist Wu. I will definitely bring you out safely!"
This is a dead end
Hearing him say this, Wu Tingxi felt that this young man was likely of a special constitution. A fleeting sense of jealousy passed through his mind as he calmly replied, "This is hard to say, after all, the wonders of fate are profound, and various special constitutions are as numerous as the grains of sand. Even the records of the Chongming Sect may not be exhaustive. However, considering your background from such a remote place, in a situation so dire that you had to dare to steal from Zheng Jingshan, yet you were still able to cultivate an exceptional iron bone, it is likely that your constitution is somewhat unusual; otherwise, you would not be able to withstand the sucking of the Enchanting Bone Rakshasa Diagram."
He spoke these words with genuine sincerity. After all, he has become an elder of the Outer Sect of the Chongming Sect, yet he still lives in such uncertainty. The Demon Sect is indeed the Demon Sect; this cursed place is exceedingly unfriendly to those who tread the path of survival.
This is the cultivation method that Master Wu intends to transition to. Wu Tingxi took out a jade slip, waved it in front of him, and said, "It is also due to the relentless pursuit of the Chongming Sect against me, a mere Qi Refinement practitioner. To be honest, I am now at the end of my rope. If you can help me escape from Yuanla Mountain, I will provide you with a copy of this cultivation method, how about that?
"Fellow Daoist Wu, rest assured." Pei Ling had just regained some strength, struggling to rise slowly, he gasped, "We are all on the same side now; your matters, Fellow Daoist Wu, are my matters as well"
"Have you ever taken any extraordinary treasures before?" Wu Tingxi did not answer but instead asked, "Or perhaps there is something about your body that is markedly different from others?"
Pei Ling was overjoyed, fearing that after Wu Tingxi took it back, the system would be unable to record it. He quickly said, "So this is the jade slip; it is my first time seeing one. Fellow Daoist Wu, may I ask how these jade slips are used?"
Wu Tingxi noticed that he did not pursue the matter of the jade tablet, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While putting away the jade tablet, he casually said, "At that time, we will head west first... At that time, I will inform you."
But before fleeing, there was one matter he needed to clarify, "By the way, may I ask, fellow cultivator, what is the issue with the painting of the beautiful skeleton demon by Zheng Jingshan?"
"Daoist Wu, I will go find someone to rescue you. You are injured so severely, it is better not to move!" His gaze flickered, he turned his head and shouted, then ran even faster
Ding dong! Just as Pei Ling was about to speak, a sudden system notification echoed in his mind, "Unknown external martial arts discovered, the system is recording..."
Before Pei Ling could respond, Wu Tingxi had already pointed a finger at his forehead
Seeing Pei Ling's gloomy expression, Wu Tingxi's mind turned, and he said, "No, there is one."
Pei Ling was eager to chat more and said, "I would like to hear more details."
In a critical moment, Pei Ling did not have time to think much and randomly chose a side path that seemed to have a breeze and ran in. Little did she know, shortly after entering, she heard Wu Tingxi's cold laughter coming from behind.
Cough, cough, cough... Wu Tingxi coughed again, swallowing a pill while wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his lips, and continued calmly, "My esteemed master is an outer sect elder of the Chongming Sect, a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, and originally lived quite freely in the outer sect. However, my master has a firm Dao heart and intends to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Not long ago, by chance, my master obtained a superior cultivation method and plans to change his practice... Originally, this was a good thing.
But moments later, he discovered a problem: a fork in the road had appeared ahead!
Wu Tingxi : `` ? ! ''
Wu Tingxi was momentarily taken aback, a hint of unease flashing across his face: "Once we escape from this predicament, I, Wu, will naturally teach you. What, do you not trust me, Wu?"
He explained, "That picture was obtained by Zheng Jingshan during a mission from a certain site. It is said to be quite mysterious, and there are even rumors that disciples from the later stages of foundation building have walked through it. As for the specific details, Zheng Jingshan is rather secretive, and Wu is not very clear about it either. However, with your cultivation level, since you have personally seen that picture, it is likely that it has taken notice of you."
I am exasperated
Pei Lingxin thought to herself: "I have been suppressed by my stepmother since childhood; how could I possibly have access to extraordinary treasures? As for the claim that my body is different from others... I wonder what my friend is referring to?"
Pei Ling felt vigilant in her heart, but on the surface, she said: "I do not know what kind of transaction you are referring to, my friend"
Pei Ling said no more and ran forward recklessly
At this point, his expression darkened, "I did not expect that Master’s third disciple, Lu Xuan, was a secret agent planted by the enemy. Taking advantage of Master’s weakened state during his retreat, he secretly leaked information, resulting in Master being ambushed in his secluded place, leading to his immediate death and the loss of his Dao."
He quickly understood the reason: this fork in the road did not lead far before it was abruptly met by a mountain wall
Wu Tingxi is the most recently accepted disciple of Elder Luo, possessing the weakest abilities. He was even unaware of his master's seclusion. After Elder Luo's death, when various factions began to take action, he was hurriedly led away by his senior brother.
Wu Tingxi sneered: "Do I look like a fool? What a little brat, so despicable and vicious at such a young age, truly worthy of being a lackey under the Chongming Sect!"
