14: Sixth Junior Sister, please call me Fifth Senior Brother!

Liu Ru Shi's delicate hand slightly curved, and a terrified woman was instantly controlled by her.

Liu Ru Shi's palm gathered Spiritual Qi, controlling the woman. Blood flowed from the woman's head, making Tang Tian's hair stand on end.

This woman was too terrifying.

Tang Tian couldn't help but sigh at his own experiences.

He had just left home when he encountered bandits, and now this woman in front of him even knew the evil Cultivation Technique, One Control Art.

Who knew what kind of evil world that county was.

The women around wanted to run, but Liu Ru Shi let out a soft huff, controlling all of them.

It only took half a moment for her to finish.

Liu Ru Shi said,

"This can ensure absolute loyalty."

Liu Ru Shi threw the One Control Art jade slip to Tang Tian. Only then did Tang Tian notice that she actually had a Storage Ring.

Tang Tian asked,

"Are you really letting me learn this so easily?"

Liu Ru Shi said,

"Don't worry, this isn't an evil Cultivation Technique. It's a Cultivation Technique from the Green Mountain Sect.

"I see you have great talent. You're only ten years old. I can take you to join the Green Mountain Sect. I am an Outer Sect Disciple, and my Elder sister, Liu Ruyan, is an Elder of the Green Mountain Sect's inner Sect. She has already reached Foundation Establishment."

Liu Ru Shi said proudly.

The Green Mountain Sect was founded by five Foundation Establishment Disciples, similar to the Green Mountain Sect...

The Green Mountain Sect was precisely one of them...

Tang Tian said,

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill the County Magistrate's daughter?"

Tang Tian asked.

Liu Ru Shi said nonchalantly,

"The County Magistrate's daughter died long ago. He has since had several other children. Bringing her back would only incur the County Magistrate's hatred."

"What's more... according to rumors, the Green Mountain Sect compensated the County Magistrate with a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. The County Magistrate was so happy he couldn't close his mouth. If you send her back, wouldn't the County Magistrate have to return the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact..."

The two then descended the mountain with a large group of women.

The ascent was steep, and the descent required even more caution. By nightfall, they had only covered half the distance.

Poisonous mist filled the surroundings, and rocks fell from the cliff, with echoes only heard after a long delay.

Everyone present was below the Lianqi Fifth Level, so they all needed food and drink.

Liu Ru Shi had the women help gather wild vegetables.

Liu Ru Shi, meanwhile, found a stream and went to bathe, with five or six people serving her nearby.

Only then did Tang Tian notice that he was covered in blood. Although the seedlings could clean it instantly, he couldn't expose that in front of Liu Ru Shi.

Liu Ru Shi emerged, having changed into a green robe, and handed Tang Tian another set of clothes, saying,

"You should go wash up too."

Tang Tian asked, puzzled,

"Where did you get these clothes?"

This was too thoughtful.

Liu Ru Shi said,

"I stripped them off the bandits..."

Tang Tian found a stream and cleaned himself thoroughly. After changing his clothes, he felt completely refreshed...

Tang Tian began to ponder the gains from this trip to Dulong Mountain, saying,

"This trip, I've got a Cultivation Technique. I'm finally not using Evergreen Skill anymore. I should have taken the first step in the Cultivation World."

As for those few Spirit Medicine, they seemed to be for healing and weren't of much use, less valuable than money.

As for the One Control Art given by Liu Ru Shi, Tang Tian hadn't left any survivors during his battles on this journey, so he felt he didn't really need it.

However, one can never have too many Cultivation Techniques, so Tang Tian placed it in the Medicine Venerable Space.

Now... if he could just seclude himself and Revered Master the Cultivation Technique, he could leave the mountain...

A bonfire rose in the distance, and wild vegetables were cooked.

After Tang Tian returned, he ate three large bowls of wild vegetables. He said he was eating, but in reality, he was putting it all into the Medicine Venerable Space. Tang Tian truly didn't dare to trust this stuff.

A large pot of wild vegetables was stewed, and everyone drank a full bowl.

Night had fallen... a cold wind swept through...

Liu Ru Shi marked out a spot and fell asleep. She had expended too much mental energy using the dark yellow shield today, so falling asleep was inevitable.

Tang Tian sighed,

"She's so carefree."

Tang Tian placed his sword aside. After everyone was in a deep sleep, Tang Tian stood up.

He turned and ran up Dulong Mountain. Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, a Body Refinement Cultivator was tough, and running around wildly wouldn't cause injury.

In just half a moment, he returned to the top of Dulong Mountain.

The smell of blood here was strong, like a human Hell. Tang Tian took out the Medicine Venerable Space. Wherever the Medicine Venerable Space's seedlings swept, nothing remained.

Upon encountering the head of the Qi Refining stage, Tang Tian stopped and took out a Storage Ring. He wanted to try if he could put it in the Storage Ring.

This was excellent Materials for refining blood pills.

Blood pills merely used their hearts as carriers, extracting the Spiritual Qi they had Cultivated for decades.

It was easily put into the Storage Ring, so that should be fine.

He then put away the Cultivation Techniques, gold, and silver he carried with him, as it was inconvenient to carry them around.

In just ten minutes, Dulong Mountain became clean and empty.

Tang Tian said,

"I was worried that blood pills were only refined by evil Cultivators."

Originally, Tang Tian was still a bit worried that blood pills were too evil.

But he didn't expect the One Control Art to be even more evil. After all, blood pills were only useful to Immortals.

However, the One Control Art had no restrictions on Mortals...

After collecting quite a bit, the Medicine Venerable Space's Spiritual Power should be sufficient. Tang Tian descended the mountain, satisfied...

By the time he returned to the foot of the mountain, it was already late at night. As expected, no one was awake. Tang Tian lay down contentedly.

"Gul... gul... gul..."

Suddenly, a chewing sound came.

But listening closely, it was just the "whoosh" of the wind.

Tang Tian felt relieved and continued to sleep. Tang Tian was also a bit tired.

"Gul... gul."

The sound became more urgent.

Tang Tian became anxious. Tang Tian shouted loudly,

"Get up!"

Liu Ru Shi woke up with a start... She saw that the creature making the sound was actually a monster with a human head and a scorpion body. It held a severed arm... and grinned at them.

Liu Ru Shi threw out three Fireball spells. Tang Tian was shocked, he had encountered something strange.

He quickly threw his heavy sword and ran towards the less crowded area. The ninety-pound heavy sword flew towards the monster, and Tang Tian ran away.

Tang Tian said in fear,

"Good thing it didn't chase."

The monster said,

"Everyone, come back!"

The monster merely grinned, and everyone's bodies automatically walked towards it.

One by one, they entered its mouth.

Tang Tian and Liu Ru Shi were at the back. The people in front entered the monster's mouth one by one, which was terrifying to the extreme.

"Alas, at least I've avenged myself. This life was worth it, but I just had my Awakening!"

Seeing that he might die, Tang Tian sighed in his heart.

He was no longer even afraid, preparing to take out the seedlings and fight.

The monster grinned and said,

"It's rare to encounter two Cultivators. I won't kill you. You two be my Disciples."

There was no one in front of Tang Tian anymore, only Liu Ru Shi behind him.

"Eh, not killing us?"

Tang Tian was stunned in his heart.

Tang Tian quietly put away the seedlings. If he could live, he would.

The monster said;

"This Revered Master's name is Chi Daizi... You two will be my Fifth Disciple and Sixth Disciple. The male Cultivator is the Fifth Disciple, and the female Cultivator is the Sixth Disciple..."

Tang Tian secretly thought,

"Eh? The ages don't match. Liu Ru Shi is older than me."

But Tang Tian didn't care. Tang Tian immediately bowed:

"Disciple Tang Tian greets Revered Master."

Liu Ru Shi also bowed upon seeing this.

"Good, good, good, good Disciples, take the Medicinal Pill first."

Chi Daizi was overjoyed at the sight... He took out two bright red Medicinal Pills and handed them over...

Tang Tian said,

"Thank you, Revered Master, for the Medicinal Pill!"

Tang Tian took it, not intending to eat it, and directly put it into the Medicine Venerable Space.

But Chi Daizi didn't notice.

Liu Ru Shi took it fearfully. The bright red Medicinal Pill rolled down her throat.

Liu Ru Shi vomited blood, and her cultivation actually dropped from Lian Qi Second Layer to Qi Refining stage, 1st level.

Tang Tian was surprised. His own Cultivation was built up by Spiritual Plant. If he ate a few of these Medicinal Pills, he would also reach Lian Qi Second Layer.

Seeing his newly acknowledged Disciple suffer from the Medicinal Pill's backlash, Chi Daizi became enraged, clacking his pincers wildly. Tang Tian and Liu Ru Shi dared not look up.

Disordered Spiritual Qi raged around them. Liu Ru Shi, pale-faced, murmured,

"He is Foundation Establishment."

Chi Daizi said with dissatisfaction,

"This Medicinal Pill failed to refine!"

Tang Tian felt the Spiritual Power fluctuations in front of him... only then realizing that ten of him wouldn't be a match for Chi Daizi.

This Chi Daizi was very strong.

Chi Daizi grabbed Tang Tian and asked,

"Why are you fine?!"

Tang Tian responded with difficulty,

"Replying to Revered Master, Disciple does not know."

Chi Daizi mumbled,

"Could it be that the Medicinal effect isn't enough!"

Chi Daizi threw Tang Tian to the ground, chuckled to himself, and gave Tang Tian and Liu Ru Shi another Medicinal Pill.

Tang Tian ate it in front of him, but in reality, he put it into the Medicine Venerable Space again.

Liu Ru Shi's face was terrified. She bit the Medicinal Pill and swallowed it with difficulty.

Her cultivation... dropped from Qi Refining stage, 1st level to half a Qi Refining stage...

Tang Tian thought to himself,

"It seems this Medicinal Pill isn't completely useless after all. At least it has the effect of lowering cultivation."

"Hmm, you're still fine?!"

Seeing Tang Tian act as if nothing had happened, Chi Daizi's eight legs moved, as if he was thinking.

Tang Tian said,

"Thanks to the Medicinal Pill's Divine Might, it's probably because Disciple is young and the Medicinal Pill can't exert its full Medicinal effect."

Chi Daizi suddenly realized and said,

"So that's how it is. Good Disciple, come, eat a few more."

He gave Tang Tian and Liu Ru Shi another Medicinal Pill. Tang Tian was about to eat it when Liu Ru Shi pulled his sleeve and said,

"Junior Brother, don't say anything more."

Tang Tian said,

"Sixth Sister, please call me Fifth Senior Brother."

Tang Tian had a serious expression and swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

Liu Ru Shi looked resentful, her eyes glistening with tears, making her appear pitiful, and she swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

Liu Ru Shi's cultivation dropped to Elementary Qi Refining... almost reaching the Body Refining Realm...

Chi Daizi said,

"Tsk tsk, if you can avoid the negative effects of the Medicinal Pill and become as strong as Senior Brother when you return to the mansion, you'll be Senior Brother in the future."

"You're so good at detoxifying, you should refine two Beast Fire in the future."

Tang Tian was stunned:

"...It's over..."
