The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 51

Because Celestial Master Suyang returned to his cave dwelling today, the dozen or so children in the pharmacy were all taken out together.

Some of the children had just been sent and had not yet seen what the Master looked like.

Hearing that Celestial Master Suyang was returning, they couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

“The young Taoist brother said that as long as I behave well in the pharmacy, the Master can take me as a registered disciple!”

“Then it must be me, I’m the best behaved, I haven’t said a word these past few days.”

“Is the Master really an immortal? What does he look like?”

Just like yesterday, the young Taoist led the way.

They passed through the winding cave and arrived at Drunken Breeze.

Drunken Breeze was very large, and the ceiling of the cave was also very high, accommodating hundreds of people.

The candlelight flickered around, still giving a gloomy feeling.

The cave was full of the scent of incense.

Yan Jue looked up towards that side, where a huge pill furnace stood.

Close to the rock wall, there was an exquisite building.

The building had three floors, and on the top floor, a person could vaguely be seen.

A Taoist with a crane like complexion and hair sat cross legged, dressed in a dazzling purple robe, truly looking like an immortal with flowing sleeves.

Yan Jue looked up, frowning slightly.

This Celestial Master Suyang’s attire was exactly the same as the Qingyu View Taoist they saw at the inn in Nanxing Town that day.

The Taoist closed his eyes, silently reciting some mantra.

“A golden light surrounds my body, covering me…”

“…”

While Yan Jue was looking, the young Taoist behind her suddenly pushed her shoulder: “Stand straight.”

The children, who were scattered just a moment ago, had quickly lined up under the arrangement of the young Taoist.

Yan Jue counted. There were about forty children in this cave, fewer than she expected for some reason.

Celestial Master Suyang suddenly opened his eyes and pointed his slender finger towards the boy shivering in the deepest part of the cave: “Time for alchemy, bring the medicine boy.”

Yan Jue was stunned. This Celestial Master hadn’t returned for several days, and now he was going to make pills right after coming back?

What did “medicine boy” mean?

Suddenly, several young Taoists walked over, fiercely grabbed the arm of the small boy on the far left, and brought him to the pill furnace.

The little boy screamed in fear: “I don’t want to!”

Celestial Master Suyang laughed: “My disciple, don’t be afraid. If you help the Master make pills, you can become an immortal boy.”

A young Taoist had already gone to the pharmacy to fetch the herbs.

The Taoist mumbled: “Jade Marrow Fungus, Seven Star Grass, Bodhi Flower…”

“The last ingredient, the heart of a pure boy!” The boy was pushed towards the pill furnace again.

Yan Jue was shocked.

This Celestial Master Suyang was actually going to use these children as a medicinal guide!

This was truly an evil, venomous, demonic practice…

With a “boom,” the top of the pill furnace opened in response. Vaguely visible inside were scorched black herbs burned by the furnace fire, and underneath the herbs… wriggling black insects.

Herbs were thrown in handful after handful.

The young Taoist expressionlessly pushed the boy into the pill furnace. The boy, full of horror, screamed loudly and suddenly grabbed the Taoist’s arm.

The Taoist frowned slightly. This was unexpected.

In an instant, his eyes turned pure black.

Long, slender insects crawled out from his eye sockets.

The insects crawled onto the boy’s hand, opened their large mouths, and bit down.

In a moment, blood splattered, the boy screamed, suddenly withdrew his hand, and was about to fall into the pill furnace.

In a flash, a blue light streaked across, and something dropped in front of the pill furnace, instantly exploding!

Spiritual energy faintly fluctuated in the air. Amidst the deafening explosion, lightning power rapidly spread outwards.

The Taoist on the building suddenly opened his eyes: “An infiltrator!”

Before he finished speaking, a girl of five or six years old suddenly leaped out from the crowd and ran towards the pill furnace with lightning speed.

The girl had snow white skin, dark hair, and blue eyes, and her posture was exceptionally agile.

Suyang expressionlessly put two fingers together and waved them towards the sky: “Wuran, kill her.”

The young Taoist with empty eyes leaped up and appeared in front of Xue Shuangxing in just a moment.

The woman from the Beast Control Pavilion, Xue Shuangxing, formed a hand seal, and the necklace on her neck flashed with golden light.

A mighty mastiff appeared in front of her, carrying righteous energy. Its two paws stomped on the ground, causing the earth to shake.

The mastiff roared towards the sky and lunged at the young Taoist.

Blood suddenly flowed from the Taoist’s eyes. A massive amount of insects poured out, fluttering their small wings towards the mastiff.

Xue Shuangxing waved the black python whip in her hand.

With a crisp “crack,” just like the day she dealt with the Ghost Fireflies, the small insects in the sky were all struck down!

The young Taoist named Wuran stood motionless, forming strange shapes with his hands.

Above him, a ghost like entity suddenly appeared.

It was actually a vengeful spirit in the shape of a child! The vengeful spirit looked about five or six years old, dressed in a tattered dark blue Taoist robe, with blood weeping from its eyes!

Xue Shuangxing mumbled something.

The mastiff instantly grew to the height of two people, opened its bloody mouth, and actually bit the vengeful spirit to pieces!

Xue Shuangxing jumped onto the mastiff’s back, and the black python whip came out again.

Her whip must have been a magical artifact, as it emitted a dragon’s roar and shimmering golden light when wielded.

As the long whip struck, the young Taoist named Wuran was violently flung out and fell to the ground.

Xue Shuangxing: “Profound Hatching, Great Void, Beginning of the Great Tribulation, sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes sinking, sometimes floating!” (1)

Everything around suddenly lit up with a faint blue light! Complicated inscriptions faintly scrolled on the rock floor.

This cave indeed had restrictions against formations.

But Xue Shuangxing had already cracked this restriction last night.

The medium-sized teleportation array that Qi Xianqing gave her was successfully activated.

Suyang roared, flicked his whisk, and actually leaped down from the three story building, pouncing on Xue Shuangxing.

Xue Shuangxing looked at him coldly, and the long whip in her hand suddenly expanded into a jet-black shield.

Yan Jue’s pupils contracted slightly.

The Spirit Communication Spell.

She was actually witnessing the complete Spirit Communication Spell here.

Suyang’s cultivation was clearly not up to par, or perhaps Xue Shuangxing’s immortal technique was too powerful. He slammed into the shield and then was flung out.

Xue Shuangxing formed a seal with her left hand, swung her right hand in the air, and then all forty-plus children in the cave instantly vanished!

The cave suddenly became very quiet.

The Taoist in the purple robe stood in the center of the open space, staring blankly at everything before him.

He mumbled, “They’re gone, all gone!”

Suyang: “Have I attracted the attention of the righteous immortal sects? They… they actually sent cultivators to infiltrate the cave!”

Suyang paced back and forth around the pill furnace, his expression frantic: “For five years before, no one ever noticed. Was I too high-profile?”

Yan Jue was panting heavily, hiding in the dark corner of the cave, secretly observing Celestial Master Suyang standing not far in front of the pill furnace, his face clouded with anger.

She and Qi Xianqing hadn’t left.

Because this time they came not only to rescue the children but also to investigate the person behind Qingyu View.

So when the formation was activated, the two stayed behind.

Suyang: “That’s not right, this”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp voice behind him: “Master, Master! Why did they all disappear? Are they not going to be offering boys anymore?”

Suyang originally thought all his boys had been rescued by that hateful immortal sect disciple, but was caught off guard when he saw Yan Jue slowly crawling out from the shadows.

In the dim light, the girl had fair skin and red lips, and her messy hair made her look a bit disheveled.

Suyang was stunned for a long time, then was overjoyed: “You didn’t leave?”

Yan Jue shook her head blankly: “Leave? Leave what? No one told me to leave just now…”

Suyang beckoned to her, “Come over, let me look at you.”

Yan Jue then climbed up from the ground.

She had the divine power of the Immortal Technique: Thousand Transformations.

Although it was an illusionary spell, this was a divine power stored in a talisman by Qi Xianqing’s Master, the Great Power of the Eighth Realm, the Split-Soul Realm, Immortal Yun Zhen.

Divine powers are also divided by how profound their power is. Cultivators below the Sixth Realm would find it very difficult to see through the immortal technique of an Eighth Realm Great Power.

Suyang touched her shoulder and then pointed at the young Taoist’s unsightly corpse on the ground: “My Wuran is gone…”

Yan Jue estimated that these young Taoists were likely Suyang’s trusted aides or something similar.

These children confined in the pharmacy were not only alchemy ingredients but also potentially Celestial Master Suyang’s talent pool.

And his lackeys, the young Taoists, were selected from the talent pool.

After all, every sect needed a constant supply of new talent.

Celestial Master Suyang carefully examined Yan Jue’s face, then suddenly patted her shoulder hard, revealing a set of hideous black teeth: “Now I only have you. I’ll make you a young Taoist exceptionally!”

Yan Jue was stunned for a moment, and her eyes gradually filled with joy.

“…”

Suyang: “How is it? Are you happy?”

Yan Jue pursed her lips and mumbled: “Can Master also promote my brother to a young Taoist? My brother didn’t run away either…”

She stared at Celestial Master Suyang’s bloodshot eyes, appearing completely innocent.

Suyang was surprised, and a light of wild joy flashed in his eyes: “What? There are others who didn’t run away? That’s excellent. Where is your brother?”

Yan Jue pointed behind her, and a handsome boy slowly emerged from the cave’s shadow.

Celestial Master Suyang’s eyes lit up: “Amazing, there are actually two left. And one is a boy!”

Yan Jue knelt down and asked: “Master, please let my brother also…”

Celestial Master Suyang smiled: “In any case, my Qingyu View is currently short of boys. The most loyal Wuran has also died at the hands of the righteous immortal sect. You two… certainly have a destined connection. Why don’t you serve as my Golden Boy and Jade Girl?”

Yan Jue was very happy: “Okay, thank you, Master!”

“My Taoist name is Suyang, and I come from the Grand View in the Northwest border region…”

After the swift initiation ceremony, Suyang began to educate the two children about the origin of Qingyu View.

“You are by my side, and I will naturally not mistreat you. If you perform well…” Suyang took something out of his Qiankun bag. It was two pills with red blood threads: “I will reward you with immortal medicine. This immortal medicine can help a person advance their cultivation and is extremely rare!”

Yan Jue looked at the pill in Suyang’s hand and frowned slightly.

The pill was covered with red threads, and she could faintly smell a bloody scent, with something black seeming to wriggle inside.

This was the power of the demonic path.

If cultivators didn’t want to go through the normal process of cultivation, they often chose the demonic path.

In other words, a shortcut.

The demonic path often used extremely cruel methods to cultivate skills and refine pills.

This allowed one’s cultivation to increase rapidly in a short period of time.

For example, the young Taoist Wuran with the empty eyes, despite being very young, was already at the Second or even Third Realm, and could summon a vengeful spirit.

The horror of this was unimaginable.

Yan Jue lowered her eyes and smiled: “Thank you, Master!”

Celestial Master Suyang looked at the scattered corpses and shook his head: “As expected, the righteous immortal sect has come knocking. Hahahaha, but she doesn’t know that I have a contingency plan.”

Qi Xianqing stared at her, his face sinking slightly.

Celestial Master Suyang waved his large hand, and the deceased young Taoist’s robe was peeled off. He casually threw it to Yan Jue: “From now on, you are the young Taoist by my side! Now go to the herb changing chamber and count the number of people inside.”

Yan Jue was stunned.

There are still more?

Suyang: “Hmm?”

Yan Jue swallowed, and asked with forced courage: “Master, weren’t they all captured by the big bad guys?”

The child’s words were innocent, clearly treating the righteous immortal sect people as bad guys. This wording greatly pleased Suyang, and the Taoist smiled, touching her head with his slender finger: “Master still has, Master still has materials.”

“Just along the path we took earlier, take the third path on the left. There is an herb changing chamber. Go count how many people are in there, hurry up!”

Yan Jue did not dare to delay: “Yes.” She took the robe and turned to leave.

Only then did Suyang slowly turn around, carefully examining the small boy in front of him, whose eyes were lowered and whose manner was respectful. He reached out a hand, gently held the boy’s small hand, and pulled him closer: “I will tell you about the past of Qingyu View.”

Qi Xianqing felt the scorching heat of Suyang’s hand and subtly moved his brow: “Yes.”

Yan Jue changed into the majestic purple Taoist robe and quickly found the pharmacy Suyang mentioned.

As soon as she opened the door, a foul smell drifted out.

Yan Jue was stunned. The pharmacy was indeed filled with dense rows of children.

It turned out that there was more than just Xiaoxing Village in Luoyun Mountain.

Celestial Master Suyang was also scouring children from other villages.

Although there were many people gathered in Drunken Breeze today, it was still not everyone.

Yan Jue, looking solemn, moved among the children, silently counting the number of people.

There were 56 people in total.
