60.Secret Manual: The Method of Cultivating the Dao Heart!

There were many ways to hurt someone, but Ye Qingbi deliberately chose the most direct one. Although Xu Shan had long known that the Star Misty Peak Sect didn't have the strength to protect him, he never expected Ye Qingbi to be so straightforward! This sentence really hit him hard!

Xu Shan covered his chest and smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Sect Master, for your cultivation! Then I'll be leaving!" After saying that, Xu Shan started to wriggle in the flying boat, preparing to get off. "Excuse me, let me through."

Ye Qingbi spoke, "Xu Shan, you've done a great service to the sect, and the sect really owes you this time. But if you don't leave, not to mention others, just the Purple Heaven Sword Sect has countless ways to provoke a war between the two sects to take back the inheritance."

"They definitely won't give up. If it were a large sect, they might be able to withstand the pressure, and the other side wouldn't dare to act rashly. But the Star Misty Peak Sect really can't afford it."

Xu Shan struggled to squeeze out of the flying boat and hung in the air, saying dejectedly, "I can understand that, Sect Master. You don't need to say more. I don't have any resentment in my heart, and I don't want the entire sect to be involved because of me. Well, everyone has their own fate in such a situation."

Ye Qingbi nodded in relief, "I'm glad you can understand. Actually, during the grand competition, the sect masters of other sects should have privately contacted their respective sects. There are always some elders in each sect who live in seclusion and avoid outsiders, and it's mostly these people who do the dirty work."

"With your strength, you're sure to die, but there might still be a way out. Below is the Azure Sky Forest. The spiritual energy in the forest is extremely disturbed, and it's even more difficult for you with your low cultivation level to investigate. As long as you go north and cross this forest, there's a hope of survival."

"The only thing to note is that there are not a few demonic beasts in the forest... This is your biggest danger! But maybe your cooking skills can have a miraculous effect."

So that's it! This was the way out? Xu Shan looked down with a bit of thought. Demonic beasts didn't have much intelligence. What he was most afraid of was being hunted by cultivators. If no one could find him, this was really a way to survive. However, forget about cooking. He had tried it on animals and found that the special effect of the towel only worked on people.

Anyway, at least there was a turning point now. "Sect Master, how can I protect myself after I get out of the forest? They should search in a large area, right?"

Ye Qingbi took out a token and handed it to Xu Shan, "That's right. As soon as you get out of the forest, you should be able to find the Baodan Sect soon. Huang Zhiwen, the sect master of the Baodan Sect, is an old acquaintance of mine. You can trust him. He has the ability to keep you safe for fifty years. Just tell him about your situation, and he'll know what to do."

The Baodan Sect, Huang Zhiwen. Xu Shan had never heard of them, but Ye Qingbi definitely wouldn't harm him. Otherwise, there was no need to point out this clear path.

"Thank you, Sect Master, for saving my life!" Xu Shan clasped his fists and said.

Ye Qingbi shook her head, "The sect owes you this. Everyone saw your performance in the secret realm. Having a disciple like you is the luck of the Star Misty Peak Sect."

"What!!!" Lu Xiangjun's scream came from the flying boat. All eyes turned to Lu Xiangjun. In the dark night, his face couldn't be seen clearly, but the sorrow and pain in his tone were obvious.

Lu Xiangjun asked with a bit of hope, "Sect Master, what do you mean by 'everyone saw your performance in the secret realm'?"

Ye Qingbi was silent for a while and then said, "All the sect masters saw your performance in there, including you."

It was live broadcasted!? Xu Shan's heart tightened! This competition was so fucking disgusting. Why didn't they say it was a live broadcast! All his items and those sneaky tricks had been exposed! His reputation was completely ruined!

Fortunately, he had retained a bit of dignity and hadn't masturbated... It was just poor Senior Brother Lu. He had both masturbated and defecated in public, and all his privacy had been exposed.

Lu Xiangjun slumped to his knees, his eyes glazed over, and he murmured, "How could this be.... Is there any way for me to live..."

Jin Yangqiu shook his head helplessly beside him. After all, Lu Xiangjun was the disciple he had raised since childhood. Although he had lost a lot of face, he was still his recognized successor. He couldn't let him ruin his Dao heart because of this, right?

Jin Yangqiu flew to Lu Xiangjun's side and said in a low voice, "Come on, Xiangjun. When we get back to the sect, we can just change our names."

"Woooooooo!!!" Lu Xiangjun got up, squeezed out of the flying boat, and stood beside Xu Shan. He said dejectedly, "Sect Master, Master. I'll go with Junior Brother. I'm not going back... I have no face to live anymore..."

"What are you doing at a time like this! Stop being silly and come back quickly!" Jin Yangqiu shouted angrily!

"I'm not going back!" Lu Xiangjun shouted, "What's the point of going back? Staying in the sect and being laughed at for a lifetime? I'd rather be an ordinary person. Anyway, I don't like cultivating!"

Xu Shan gave Lu Xiangjun a sympathetic look, "Actually, being an ordinary person is not bad either. You can do some small business, open an Immortal Master Braised Food Restaurant or something..."

"Can you stop provoking me!!!"

There were sympathetic looks all around. Xu Shan put his arm around Lu Xiangjun's shoulder, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, actually, this is a good thing for you. Don't take it to heart."

"Do you know how many poisonous oaths I made in the secret realm?"

"Hmm? How many?"

"More than a hundred."

"Are you crazy! Do you still want to cultivate? You'll have a demon in your heart! In cultivation, the Dao heart is the most important. When you make some oaths, you don't even know if they've already affected you in your heart."

Xu Shan shook his head, "Senior Brother, after being outside for so long, I've found that the world of cultivation has gone astray in some aspects. They value the Dao heart too much and always try to prevent it from being tainted. In fact, this is completely wrong. The Dao heart is meant to be tempered!"

"Think about it. As long as you keep making these poisonous oaths every day, will you still care about them? Definitely not! You won't even remember them yourself! I call this the 'Dao Heart Desensitization Method'! You just made a bit of a fool of yourself in public. This is not a bad thing but a good thing instead."

"When you get used to making a fool of yourself, what else in the world can you care about? Demons in the heart are nothing. Let's not say that people saw you defecate. Even if you shit in someone's mouth, it's them who will be disgusted! What are you afraid of?"

"Okay... It seems to make some sense..."

The disciples of the Star Misty Peak Sect on the flying boat whispered to each other.

"原来道心还可以这样锤炼么?"

"The Dao Heart Desensitization Method.... I've learned something."

"Yeah, you have to admit that Junior Brother Xu's brain is smarter than most people's."

Jin Yangqiu secretly moved closer to Ye Qingbi and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, this theory of Xu Shan's is the first time I've heard it. It makes sense. Is that right?"

"Ask again, and you can go with Xu Shan!" Ye Qingbi secretly clenched her fists. This troublemaker! He caused trouble to outsiders in the secret realm and now he's causing trouble to his own people! He has all these fallacies. It seems it's not a bad thing that he's leaving.

"Senior Brother, go back. Don't give up on cultivation." Xu Shan said earnestly.

Lu Xiangjun thought it over and nodded, then returned to the flying boat dejectedly. Jin Yangqiu passed by him and came to Xu Shan's side. He said seriously,

"Disciple, from now on, you'll be a freelance cultivator. I have some survival rules for freelance cultivators to teach you. As long as you can escape this disaster, maybe with your thick skin, you can make a good living outside."
