Chapter 127: Cui Hao's Immortal Path
Yuan Kong looked helpless.
Circumstances were stronger than people; being able to suffer one less torture in a day was always good.
That thing was truly not meant for human consumption.
Exactly how was this medicinal pill refined?
Yuan Kong also really wanted to ask, since it was refined to this state, could he not choose to give up?
Was it not possible to change a path? Did he have to stubbornly stick to medicinal pills?
However, as soon as he saw the calm smile on Chu Xingchen's face, he did not dare to speak these words.
Additionally, facing Chu Xingchen, Yuan Kong truly had no certainty; he really did not know if he truly did not care about this young lady.
Yuan Kong dared not gamble anyway. Eating one less pill was a salvation on the path of life.
After settling the matter of Li Zi, for Chu Xingchen, it counted as one less matter that he did not know how to handle accurately.
Li Xingtian's explanation regarding Li Zi was too concise, and Chu Xingchen did not know what his own second disciple was thinking.
Before leaving the Central Province, Chu Xingchen had even roughly searched for Li Zi's younger brother in Sunset Valley Town.
However, he found nothing; he should be considered thoroughly dead.
In short, Chu Xingchen had done everything a master could do for a disciple.
As for his second disciple's love and hatred, it was better for the second disciple to resolve it himself.
A master could not double as some emotional instructor.
Chu Xingchen looked at Yuan Kong leisurely and said:
"What is the situation with this appearance of yours? Is it considered a successful evolution?"
Yuan Kong touched his face and sighed heavily, revealing a helpless expression:
"The Abbot said it was successful. He also said that this is only temporary; it is because my cultivation base is not high enough to digest the Buddha Heart and Sarira, so my body form transformed into a slight image of a Bodhisattva."
"After I reach the Foundation Establishment realm, I will be able to change back!"
Li Yingling's eyes revealed a hint of pity. That gaze seemed to say this child... pui, this man was truly easy to deceive.
Chu Xingchen nodded, and his divine consciousness swept over. These words held some truth, but changing back upon reaching the Foundation Establishment realm should be unlikely.
It was estimated that it still depended on when that gray entry could be cancelled.
Chu Xingchen did not really care about this matter.
Anyway, between these two apprentice brothers, one was willing to beat and the other willing to suffer.
At most, he would praise Yuan Jing for truly worrying his heart out.
A Foundation Establishment realm cultivator actually managed to settle matters that looked impossible one by one.
Yuan Kong did not dare to stay long. Carrying the Universe Bag and Li Zi inside the bag, he left with a heavy expression under Chu Xingchen's gaze.
Ever since Master returned.
The sect seemed to have returned to peace, and the oppressive feeling in the sect when Master was absent also dissipated into nothingness.
The backbone had returned.
Additionally, two things happened.
The first thing counted as a flavor enhancer.
Starting from the day Master returned, the image of Second Senior Brother being a fool who would use even a talisman wrong began to spread widely within the sect.
As for who the disseminator was, Chu Xingchen locked onto his own eldest disciple without hesitation.
Only three people had heard these words: Yuan Kong, Chen Baiqing, and Li Yingling.
Picking one out of three, one knew who to choose just by looking at the names.
Since the number of people in the sect was not large, not even half a day passed before even the always honest and dull Ning Kun knew about this matter.
Since then, the idea that Second Senior Brother was a fool had a sense of a final verdict within the sect.
When Li Xingtian returned and discovered that he had become the legendary fool, it was unknown what expression he would have.
The second thing was that the subsequent construction of the sect was put on the agenda again.
The Sky Rosy Sect had compensated a large sum of spirit stones.
Chu Xingchen decided to use this sum of spirit stones to continue perfecting the sect and finish building the True Martial Great Hall.
He would try his best to complete the system mission and step into the next stage.
Ning Kun was still entrusted with the heavy responsibility, acting as the commander-in-chief responsible for construction.
Since Yuan Kong's body was not yet stable, Chu Xingchen also decided not to feed him medicinal pills for the time being.
This was to avoid any problems arising from eating them.
Although Yuan Kong was missing, Chu Xingchen did not stay idle. There was also an urgent matter before him waiting to be resolved—Cui Hao's cultivation method problem.
Because Cui Hao did not satisfy the conditions for accepting disciples, there were no miraculous skills or secret manuals provided by the system for cultivation. Chu Xingchen could only look for other cultivation methods.
He could not possibly have him cultivate the Qi Refining Spirit Nourishing Art and then cultivate the Foundation Establishment Spirit Nourishing Art, right? Since he had accepted a disciple, he naturally should put in some effort to guarantee Cui Hao's future immortal path.
Cui Hao had Fire and Metal dual attribute Spirit Roots. Solely discussing Spirit Root aptitude, it was actually quite good. Moreover, he had the entry of Being Naturally Intelligent.
Regarding cultivation methods, the first thing Chu Xingchen thought of was the Demon Suppression Division; after all, they had also nurtured cultivators with impressive cultivation bases. There might be some good things inside for Cui Hao to cultivate.
The Demon Suppression Division was also very cooperative, directly letting Chu Xingchen enter the Demon Suppression Division's Library Pavilion to browse freely.
Very quickly, Chu Xingchen, who had seriously searched for secret manuals for a day, finally understood why the Demon Suppression Division was so cooperative. The miraculous skills and secret manuals inside this Library Pavilion, counting one after another, should all be taken to be used as toilet paper.
After reading for a day, Chu Xingchen only felt that the database in his brain was being frantically polluted. After all, his own disciples' comprehension of cultivation methods was also directly obtained one hundred percent by Chu Xingchen.
Among them, Li Xingtian's comprehension was the most outstanding; at the very least, it allowed Chu Xingchen to understand what was good or bad. Thus, Chu Xingchen decisively abandoned the path of the Demon Suppression Division.
As for these miraculous skills and secret manuals, it was better to let them cultivate them themselves. It was guaranteed that whoever cultivated one would not make a peep.
However, very quickly, a thought emerged from Chu Xingchen's mind.
The Sect.
The Main Hall was currently replacing the materials used temporarily before.
The sound was somewhat noisy, so Li Yingling used spiritual power to isolate the outside sound. Today, proposed by the Eldest Senior Sister, a small sect activity was organized.
Eldest Senior Sister only appeared childish in front of Master; at other times, she mostly had the majesty of an Eldest Senior Sister. Anyway, no one dared to refuse.
Except for Master who was not in the sect, Second Senior Brother who was in the Central Province, and Ning Kun who was responsible for supervision, everyone had arrived. Ning Qianqian was also present; she was currently grilling skewers.
Li Yingling gave a very high evaluation of Ning Qianqian's grilling skills—she had seventy percent of Master's standard. With Master away, among these few people, only the things Ning Qianqian made were considered delicious.
Cui Hao sat on a stone chair, watching the fish in the pool constantly jumping and rolling in the air, orderly and possessing the beauty of dance. Sometimes they gathered, and sometimes they dispersed to transform into beautiful flowers.
Chen Baiqing's mastery of divine powers was becoming increasingly handy. She did not even need to look at the water surface.
That group of fish would begin to move following her will. Li Yingling was also watching, but unlike Cui Hao's appreciation, her gaze quickly locked onto one of the fish:
"Baiqing, get that biggest black fish up to grill and eat."
"Okay."
Chen Baiqing had just nodded in agreement when the unlucky big fish selected by Li Yingling leaped out of the pool by itself. Cui Hao looked at Chen Baiqing enviously; this move was truly cool!
Lin Luoyu looked toward Cui Hao. In the entire sect, among those accepted as disciples, only Cui Hao practiced a common immortal cultivation method that was found everywhere on the streets.
The cultivation methods practiced by the other disciples all seemed to be custom-made. However, after many days of observation, Lin Luoyu discovered that her own Master was actually still very concerned about Cui Hao.
In the past few days, he often handed Qi Nourishing Pills to Cui Hao, wanting to help him cultivate. It was just that Cui Hao, having eaten it once, hurriedly took a detour upon seeing Master.
This was very strange. After all, before taking the medicinal pill, Cui Hao was only at the third level of Qi Refining; after taking the medicinal pill, he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining in just one night.
Such potent medicinal efficacy... Why did this Cui Hao avoid him like seeing the King of Hell?
Chu Xingchen's confident voice came from the sect entrance:
"Haha! Disciple Cui, Master has prepared it for you."
Hearing this, Cui Hao, who was originally full of envy, had a drastic change in expression.
He turned around without hesitation and wanted to run. Unfortunately, an Immobilization Spell fixed Cui Hao in place.
