121.The Kind Xu Shan!

"Let's make it brief. You answer my questions. If I'm satisfied, I'll let you go. But if I'm not... I'll heal your wounds, and we'll start all over again."

"I'll answer! I'll answer everything!" Wrapped in pain, Yang Lin didn't have time to think much and quickly agreed.

"Good. I'll ask you. Why did you choose me to be a disciple of the Zhenhai Sect? What about me caught your eye? Or do you have other plans for me?"

Sweating profusely, Yang Lin said, "It's your ability to endure pain and your extraordinary perseverance... The five halls under the Zhenhai Sect have been constantly looking for disciples like you."

"Once the talent is confirmed, you will be accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master."

"Oh?" Xu Shan asked doubtfully, "Is it really that simple? Isn't there something fishy going on?"

"I don't know. He has accepted seven disciples before. They were all at the late Foundation Establishment stage or the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. After he quickly cultivated them to the Core Formation stage, they were never seen again."

"Quickly cultivated to the Core Formation stage? How is that possible?"

Yang Lin shook her head, with tears in her eyes. "It's possible. Although it's difficult to break through to the Core Formation stage, it's not as strict as breaking through to the Golden Core stage... As long as a large number of rare and precious materials are used for cultivation, it's possible. He set a final deadline for the five halls. In the end, he only wanted to find three such disciples. If we couldn't find suitable ones, everyone would be severely punished."

"Maybe... Maybe his resources are no longer enough to cultivate more disciples. The Sect Master is in a hurry..."

Xu Shan pressed on, "Is he trying to seize someone's body? He just hasn't found a suitable candidate."

Taking advantage of Xu Shan's inattention, Yang Lin stuffed a pill into her mouth and said, "No, it's unlikely. If he wants to seize someone's body, it would be better to do it during the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage. The spiritual soul during the Core Formation stage is much stronger, and seizing the body would be twice as difficult. Even if he's at the Nascent Soul stage, it's extremely difficult to seize someone's body."

"Where is the Zhenhai Sect located exactly?"

"Keep flying seventy li south... You'll know where the Zhenhai Sect is when you're near Zhu Family Town."

"Zhu Family Town? It sounds like an ordinary mortal town. Why is there an ordinary mortal town near a Demonic Sect?"

Yang Lin said, "It's a Blood Food Town... Those are the blood food raised by the Sect Master... Mortals are just materials for cultivation... He also uses the resentment of mortals to refine magic tools."

Blood Food Town! Using mortals as cultivation materials... What a scoundrel. Xu Shan's heart sank, and anger began to well up in him.

"What's the name of the Sect Master of the Zhenhai Sect, and where does he come from? What kind of cultivation technique does he practice?"

Yang Lin said, "I don't know what cultivation technique he practices. The original Sect Master of the Zhenhai Sect wasn't him. He crossed the Chenling Sea from the Orthodox Path five years ago... He calls himself the Purple Crane True Man, at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."

"He has extremely powerful spiritual power and is very ruthless... He directly broke into the inner sect of the Zhenhai Sect and killed a total of thirteen people, including the Sect Master and the elders. Later, he directly took over the Zhenhai Sect. I was promoted by him later."

"I don't know anything else."

Crossing the Chenling Sea... Even Huang Zhiwen thought it was extremely difficult. This Purple Crane True Man obviously had extraordinary strength, and his methods were so decisive that he could directly take over a sect. One could imagine that he was definitely a ruthless person and not someone to be trifled with.

Raising mortals as blood food, he surely had no good intentions when looking for disciples. But the fact that he could help disciples quickly advance to the Core Formation stage really tempted Xu Shan... Although this person was hateful and deserved to be killed, he wasn't afraid to use the hands of the evil to increase his own strength... As long as he was well-prepared under a Nascent Soul cultivator, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

While Xu Shan was thinking, Yang Lin slapped the ground with both hands, and her whole body suddenly rose into the air! She formed a sword gesture with her fingers, and a cyan flying sword appeared in her hand. It turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Xu Shan.

Courting death! A cold glint flashed in Xu Shan's eyes. He had been keeping a distance from this woman all the time, just in case her Golden Core realm cultivation made things difficult and she suddenly attacked him. And now she really did it!

The washing machine and the steel pipe appeared at the same time. The stream of light and the sword shadow crashed fiercely into the washing machine, sending it flying far away. Yang Lin herself flew back again, screaming, and her head chased after the washing machine.

At the same time, Xu Shan summoned the steel pipe, and seizing the opportunity, he threw it hard! It was firmly nailed to the ground under Yang Lin.

The music started playing, and the "seats" appeared. Xu Shan gracefully sat on the sofa, picked up an iced black tea, and gently swirled it, looking like a gentleman.

But Yang Lin was in an extremely miserable state. Although she was trapped in the washing machine, she could still dance. She performed all kinds of large-scale dance moves.

"Daddy, daddy, where are you going~~ Baby, baby..."

There was a new discovery. It turned out that the functions of the items could be superimposed... But was this really the kind of song that should be played in a dance hall? Xu Shan covered his forehead with his hand.

At this moment, Yang Lin was like some kind of cyber creature, a washing machine with long legs! But after just a few dance moves, her injuries began to worsen. While wailing, Yang Lin lost a lot of blood.

Xu Shan felt a bit nauseous, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't do anything until the song ended. He could take back the washing machine, but he didn't want to see Yang Lin's expression at this moment even more. Xu Shan silently comforted himself. It was all her own fault. If she hadn't provoked him, she wouldn't have ended up like this.... No, I'll never use that "slash wildly three thousand times" move again!

After the song ended, the area around Yang Lin was like a murder scene, covered in blood everywhere. Xu Shan immediately took back the steel pipe and the washing machine. Standing five meters in front of Yang Lin, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Uh... uh.... Kill me..." Yang Lin was extremely weak and let out a faint moan.

A look of shame appeared on Xu Shan's face. He walked a few meters behind Yang Lin and threw a Thunderstorm Talisman at her back.

With a bang. Yang Lin's body flew two meters high and then fell heavily to the ground.

...

Half an hour later, Xu Shan stood in front of a small mound of earth. He had dug a grave for Yang Lin and put her body in it. Of course, before putting her in, he took away all her belongings. He stuck a wooden plaque on it, on which was written [The Tomb of Yang Lin].

Although Yang Lin had been able to thrive beside the Purple Crane True Man, she was probably not a good person. But the methods he used were somewhat too cruel.

Xu Shan stood in front of the grave, constantly reflecting on himself. Since he entered the Southern Border, he had been living quite freely, but he seemed to have adapted to killing and bloody things a bit too quickly. Maybe it was because his nature during the Foundation Establishment stage had been enhanced once, and he had experienced several life-and-death changes, that he had become what he was now. But if it continued like this, I'm afraid there won't be any good results in the future. It's true that pursuing the growth of one's cultivation realm is right, but losing one's true self... everything will lose its meaning.

Cultivators should cultivate and maintain their true selves. Xu Shan silently recited the twenty-four-character progressive mantra in his heart. After reciting it for a while, his state of mind calmed down a lot.

Standing there and thinking for a long time, Xu Shan flew towards the south with his sword! He had to go to the Zhenhai Sect. Being able to quickly break through to the Core Formation stage, if he could make good use of it, it would be a great opportunity. Wealth and honor come from taking risks!
