253: Taoist Ku Mu's plan

Kumu Daoren restarted with an Immortal Foundation, obtained a Golden Finger, and chose the Yao Race.

He quietly killed many Yao Race and Yao Beasts, cooking them into delicacies. On one hand, it was for his own Realm advancement, and on the other, for bribery.

Ultimately, he managed to obtain a wisp of a 'Blazing Phoenix' feather, successfully achieving a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough.

Now he came to the front lines, attempting to find an Opportunity to transform into a Demon Body.

With his Foundation Establishment strength, coupled with his understanding of Human Race Cultivator methods from his time as a wicked Cultivator, he was more than capable of dealing with some Qi Refining Cultivators who relied on external forces.

Soon, to Da Quan Knight's astonishment, Kumu Daoren directly cut through an entire position, collecting all scattered Talismans, Medicinal Pills, and other items into his storage ring.

Then, without stopping, he gracefully headed towards another marked location.

"This is Foundation Establishment?"

Da Quan Knight was deeply shocked.

The Human Race Cultivators, whom these low-level minor Yao were powerless against, were not even a match for a Foundation Establishment great Yao?

Whether it was the swords and blades summoned by Talismans, or the combat power boost from Medicinal Pills, or even the offensive and defensive methods released by Spiritual Artifacts, all were crushed head-on by Kumu Daoren, without any suspense.

The disparity in Realm was so clearly laid out before his eyes, making Da Quan Knight very envious.

"Streamer, don't you think he looks a bit familiar?"

"Nonsense, Sheep Demons all look the same, how could he not look familiar?"

Kumu Daoren was indeed cautious; he didn't create a unique face but chose a default, common one. This made it impossible for Da Quan Knight to realize that the Foundation Establishment great Yao who saved him was precisely the Sheep Demon he had killed and cooked.

At this moment, a bullet comment floated by: "This Sheep Demon is so powerful, and he hasn't gone far. Streamer, do you want to curry favor with him?"

"That's right, I heard that in a Xuanhuan World, you can take a Master."

"Streamer, do you want to become his disciple?"

Seeing the bullet comments, Da Quan Knight paused, as if he hadn't fully processed it.

Once he understood what becoming a disciple meant, he became incredibly excited.

"I want to become his disciple!"

Da Quan Knight's eyes lit up: "I've researched it. To progress quickly in a Xuanhuan World, you need to find a good power, like a Sect or a Family.

"But we are all minor Yao who joined the Saint-Serving Army; we can't join other powers.

"So, there's only one other path left, which is to find a reliable Senior and become his disciple!

"Whether it's helping him with odd jobs or offering some real-world money, as long as you show your value, you'll usually be accepted as a disciple.

"And once I have a Master, I'll have protection, and I won't die directly on the front lines!"

The more Da Quan Knight thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

The audience in the live stream also thought he was right: "That's right, I heard that the tradition of the Huaxia people is to respect one's Master and the Dao, and Master-disciple lineage is a very important cultural aspect."

"In the context of Huaxia, a Master is like another father; it's extremely important."

"Similarly, a disciple is like an adopted child; the Master will teach everything he knows, and even proactively help the disciple solve problems."

The audience discussed animatedly, all agreeing that Da Quan Knight should indeed become a disciple.

From the perspective of these Western Country people, this was also thanks to years of cultural export from the ancient style game competition.

Most Western Country people believed that the Master-disciple relationship was a very stable and important one, even comparable to a father-son relationship.

To some extent, in normal ancient societies, this was indeed the case.

But in a Xuanhuan World... one could only say that Da Quan Knight and others had not yet realized the risks of becoming a disciple.

The audience in the live stream was still brainstorming for Da Quan Knight, thinking about how to become a disciple.

Some viewers even specifically researched ancient Huaxia information and finally offered a solution: "Streamer, I looked it up, and it seems that becoming a disciple requires a 'shu xiu' (tuition gift)."

"What is 'shu xiu'?"

"Uh, I'm not a Huaxia expert either, I don't quite understand... but anyway, if you want to become a disciple, you need to bring dried meat."

"Dried meat? Any kind of dried meat?"

"That's unclear, but a Xuanhuan World isn't truly ancient society after all, so ordinary dried meat might not be enough, right?"

"Then does it have to be dried meat from Demonic Beasts or even Yao Beasts?"

"Hey, wouldn't dried Yao Race meat be even better?"

"Speaking of which, I previously saw something called Buddhist Cultivator in the Immortal Dynasty. They have an allusion called 'Buddha Cuts His Flesh,' and it seems cutting off one's own flesh is a great Karma."

"You mean the streamer has to bring his own dried meat?"

Watching the bullet comments in the live stream, Da Quan Knight found it a bit absurd.

No, it's just becoming a disciple. Does he really need to cut off his own flesh and smoke it into dried meat?

What a joke, where is such an evil logic?

Moreover... "Think about it carefully, the price of Yao Race meat has plummeted recently, even less than Demonic Beast meat.

"Even if I really cut off my own flesh, it wouldn't be considered a grand gift; it would actually seem disrespectful."

For a while, Yao Race meat was incredibly popular, and its price was very high.

But as a bunch of Yao Race players entered and immediately cut off their flesh to sell, the market instantly crashed.

Now, the price of ordinary Yao Race meat is even less than pork or chicken. It's said that even Spirit Nurturing Martial Artists on the Human Race side can buy a few pieces of Yao Race meat to eat, which is just ridiculous.

"Hey, Streamer, you just don't understand. Cutting your own flesh, even if the price isn't good, shows sincerity."

"Think about it, if you can even cut off your own flesh for your Master, doesn't that mean you can do anything for your Master?"

"Then who would be willing to refuse such a disciple?"

Da Quan Knight's eyes lit up.

That's right!

Cutting flesh itself wasn't much, but the meaning behind cutting flesh was crucial.

It was a way to declare his stance to his Master!

So Da Quan Knight quickly said: "Alright everyone, I'm going to cut my flesh now. Once I'm ready, I'll take it to find that Sheep Demon. I must make him my Master!"

...On the other side, Kumu Daoren looked at the barrage of bullet comments in the live stream and at the Da Quan Knight who had been thoroughly misled, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

After achieving Foundation Establishment, the flesh of these Qi Refining minor Yao was no longer so precious, unless they were special races.

However, the races players could choose at this stage were all garbage races.

Even if someone restarted and chose a powerful race, their strength would surely rapidly increase, making them incredibly difficult to capture.

Therefore, the quality of the meat was hard to improve, and the cooked medicinal food was very ineffective for Foundation Establishment.

Kumu Daoren was very troubled by this.

But soon, he exchanged for a new culinary Dao from a Buddhist Cultivator.

It turned out that directly killing and cooking Yao Race was the lowest method.

The superior method should be to make the Yao Race sincerely convert, cut off their own flesh, and even have the Yao Race cook their own flesh.

Medicinal food made with such methods could carry the active vital blood of that Yao Race, greatly enhancing its effects.

If the method was even more ingenious, and the Yao Race cooperated further, it might even be possible to swallow the opponent's Soul along with it.

That would be a true feast, rare and hard to come by.

Kumu Daoren thought that ordinary players were indeed difficult to cooperate with.

But what about streamer players?

For the sake of broadcast effect, they usually acted according to the instructions of the bullet comments.

Then, if he just subtly guided them... wouldn't he be able to make the Yao Race obediently cut their flesh?
