Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 297: Plotting Against the Lei Family



Translator: Cinder Translations

After hearing that the blurred figure was the First Supreme Elder of the Beastmaster Sect, Feng Qi and the other two turned to face Yang Yu, lowering their heads in respect.

At the same time, they were puzzled about what Lan Chen wanted with "Wu Sheng."

Although Song Wen was terrified, he still put on an excited expression and stepped into the barrier.

He stepped into the barrier without any obstruction.

Afterward, he bent his legs and knelt on the ground.

His expression was one of overwhelming excitement.

"Disciple Wu Sheng pays respects to the Supreme Elder. I have heard legends of you since I was young. Today, I am fortunate to see your true face; it is indeed a great honor."

Facing Song Wen's flattery, Yang Yu's reaction was quite indifferent; he showed neither displeasure nor satisfaction.

"Get up; kneeling is not customary in our cultivation world."

Song Wen respectfully complied.

"Yes!"

He stood up from the ground.

"This person before you is Lan Chen from the Hehuan Sect. She has some questions to ask you."

Song Wen bowed and clasped his fists, addressing Lan Chen.

"Junior greets Senior Lan Chen. May I ask why you summoned me?"

Lan Chen's gaze fell on Song Wen, scrutinizing him, and a look of confusion gradually appeared on her face.

"Have we met somewhere? Why do I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with you?"

Song Wen's heart leaped to his throat, but he forced himself to remain calm.

"Reporting to Senior, it may be because I have a common face, which gives you this illusion."

"A common face?" Lan Chen said, half-smiling.

What relieved Song Wen was that Lan Chen did not dwell on this matter and instead shifted to the main topic.

"Yang Yu said you have fused the Mystic Qi. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Song Wen was momentarily taken aback, unsure whether to speak the truth or remain silent.

Fang Pengyi and Rong Jingyun had repeatedly emphasized that the Mystic Qi was a sect secret and could not be disclosed.

Quickly, Song Wen reacted.

Since Yang Yu hadn't opposed it, it was clear he agreed to inform Lan Chen about the Mystic

Qi.

"Reporting to Senior, it is indeed true. However, it is not solely my achievement; it was accomplished under the leadership of countless fellow disciples and the Supreme Elder."

"How was the Mystic Qi fused?"

"It involved repeatedly refining the human-snake hybrids, allowing the corpse energy and life energy to coexist. Over time, the Mystic Qi emerged."

"The human-snake? Is that the unusual spirit with a human body and snake tail that your Beastmaster Sect cultivates?"

"Exactly. The vitality of the human-snake is exceptionally strong..."

Through a question-and-answer exchange, Song Wen thoroughly explained the process of producing the Mystic Qi.

"How is the human-snake created?" Lan Chen asked.

"Regarding that, I do not have knowledge; it is fully handled by Elder Liu Jiang," Song Wen replied.

After pondering for a moment, Lan Chen continued to ask.

"In your view, besides the human-snake, what other spirits could potentially fuse the Mystic

Qi?"

Song Wen said, "Forgive me for my limited knowledge; I can't think of other suitable spirits at the moment. However, based on my humble opinion, we could select spirits with strong vitality and exceptional physical recovery abilities for experimentation. Perhaps we can find a suitable spirit to nurture the Mystic Qi."

Lan Chen nodded and turned to look at Yang Yu.

"This disciple of yours is quite good; how about letting him join our Hehuan Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Song Wen was suddenly alarmed.

He did not know Lan Chen's true intentions.

Did she recognize him, or did she simply want his help to refine a hybrid corpse?

While Song Wen was filled with doubts, Yang Yu chuckled lightly.

"The males in the Hehuan Sect are either servants or concubines. Since when did you start

accepting male disciples?"

Lan Chen covered her mouth and laughed.

"There's always a first time for everything."

"Wu Sheng is extremely loyal to our Beastmaster Sect; it's better for him to stay here."

Yang Yu directly refused Lan Chen.

Then he turned to Song Wen.

"Wu Sheng, you can go now. Remember, focus all your efforts on refining the hybrid corpse

and strengthening the Mystic Qi as much as possible."

"This is my communication jade slip; keep it safe. If you encounter any problems you can't

resolve, use it to contact me."

Song Wen accepted the jade slip that appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Bowing, he said, "Disciple will follow your orders."

After saying that, Song Wen hurriedly turned and walked out of the barrier.

Once Song Wen left, Yang Yu spoke.

"Lan Chen, I have been honest with you; shouldn't you also show some sincerity?"

"What do you want me to do?" Lan Chen replied.

"Although Gou Jun doesn't possess a complete method for transformation into the God Realm, he surely knows some things that we don't. After all, this transformation method did not appear out of nowhere; it must originate from an ancient secret realm."

"The location of the secret realm is known only to Gou Jun. The Nascent Soul cultivators from our three sects can collaborate to force Gou Jun to reveal information about the secret realm."

Lan Chen remarked, "I was wondering why you so readily disclosed the secret of the Mystic Qi; it turns out you had this in mind."

"Our three sects combined have eight Nascent Soul cultivators. If we want to mobilize them

all, it's a major undertaking, and we need to negotiate among the three sects and consider it carefully..."

A moment later, Lan Chen removed the barrier and returned to the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.

Yang Yu glanced at the still fierce battle between Yan Yuyan and Tu Lian.

He spoke up.

"Tu Lian, cease your attack; this fight is over."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Although Yang Yu's voice was not loud, Tu Lian and Yan Yuyan, who were tens of miles away,

heard him clearly.

Instantly, both of them halted their attacks.

They exchanged dissatisfied glances before turning to leave.

Yang Yu's figure suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.

After returning to the flying ship, Song Wen felt a significant release of pressure in his heart.

The other three on the ship also felt a weight lifted off their shoulders.

The pressure brought by the Nascent Soul cultivators was truly unbearable.

Without needing any prompting, Feng Qi immediately activated the flying ship to distance

themselves from the Hehuan Heavenly Spring Pavilion. He warned himself in his heart that he could never step into that building again, especially knowing that a Nascent Soul cultivator

was hiding inside-it was truly terrifying.

As for Song Wen, he still felt apprehensive.

He had the nagging feeling that Lan Chen had recognized him.

Not to mention the Hehuan Heavenly Spring Pavilion, he had no intention of setting foot in

East Huafang Market until he could be certain that Lan Chen had left.

After Song Wen and the others left, Ji Ruxue flew outside the square to find her master, Yan

Yuyan.

"Greetings, Master."

Yan Yuyan nodded. "You have been undercover in East Huafang Market for ten years; it has

been hard on you."

"Doing things for my master, I never feel it's arduous or unfair."

Yan Yuyan asked, "How is the investigation into the Lei family going?"

"Reporting to Master, after the Lei family's Nascent Soul ancestor was heavily injured, they

have been much more low-key. Apart from normal business dealings, they rarely make any other moves; there isn't much I can investigate."

"However, I found out that after the battle between good and evil concluded, Lei Jun returned

to the Lei family and has been seen multiple times in East Huafang Market. It seems he is

investigating the death of his son, Lei Tianyu."

"Lei Jun's son died?" Yan Yuyan asked.

"Yes, Lei Tianyu had decent cultivation talent and excellent lightning law talent. His death

has certainly enraged Lei Jun."

"Recently, there have been rumors of Corpse Demon Sect cultivators appearing near East

Huafang Market. The Lei family has been inquiring about the information on Corpse Demon Sect cultivators, and Lei Jun's visits to East Huafang Market have noticeably increased."

"I suspect that Lei Tianyu's death is related to the corpse path demon cultivators."

After listening to Ji Ruxue's account, Yan Yuyan pondered.

"Perhaps we can use this matter to draw out Lei Jun."
