Chapter 133
She carried the food container while humming a cheerful tune, seemingly still immersed in the warmth of the dinner they had just shared.
But the voice of the mysterious woman echoed in her ears, interrupting the girl’s humming.
Li Yuechan’s steps paused slightly in the bamboo forest before continuing forward.
“Senior, have you discovered something?” the girl asked curiously.
The mysterious woman’s voice came again, ethereal in her ear.
“His cultivation progress is too fast. In the barren resources of the Outer Sect, it’s impossible for him to have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly. Even if Yan Xiaoru had bestowed upon him many spiritual items, he couldn’t have established his foundation so rapidly.”
The words of the senior made Li Yuechan chuckle softly.
“Haven’t we discussed this before? My brother must have some kind of secret.”“Perhaps it’s true that he was no longer at the Qi Refining Realm Third Layer a long time ago. The reward from Elder Yan merely accelerated his Foundation Establishment process.”
Saying this, the girl glanced at the dark bamboo forest around her and laughed softly, “Besides, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm isn’t that outrageous, am I not at the Foundation Establishment Realm myself?”
“Even faster than my brother, I’m almost at the Golden Core…”
Although during the registration, under the senior’s concealment, Li Yuechan’s cultivation was tested to be at the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer, but in reality, the girl’s cultivation had long reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, not far from the Golden Core.
With the senior’s help, she had been hunting demonic beasts and demons in the mountains in secret, and later in Demon Sword City, she killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment and Golden Core inner disciples.
Through violent plundering and devouring, Li Yuechan’s cultivation had long surpassed that of an ordinary inner disciple.
Compared to her, Li Muyang’s Foundation Establishment Realm was not at all outrageous.
However, the mysterious woman’s voice said,
“Your cultivation was gained through plundering and devouring, with an unstable foundation and superficial spiritual power. After reaching the Golden Core, you must take time to refine and consolidate your foundation.”
“But your brother is different. His aura is pure and enduring, his spiritual power is stable when he casts spells, and his foundation is deep. It’s definitely not something that can be compared to the crooked path of plundering and devouring, but rather the result of solid cultivation.”
“Given his condition, unless he can afford to eat high-grade spiritual rice every meal, it’s impossible for him to have such rapid cultivation progress…”
The mysterious woman hesitated for a moment, recalling the movement technique Li Muyang had used in the bloodstone mine.
The movement technique Li Muyang had displayed was clearly seen by her, and it was definitely the Remnant Clouds Movement Technique, a practice exclusively from the ancient times’ evil lineage!
The demonic technique of the Black Cloud Village, which had been extinct for thousands of years, had reappeared in Li Muyang.
The mysterious woman was somewhat worried.
The evil lineages from ancient times were unpredictable and once one accepted their inheritance, they would be corrupted by darkness and gradually lose their humanity.
The evil lineages from ancient times were the most cunning and dangerous anomalies in the world.
But after much hesitation, she chose to remain silent.
It was said that once the inheritance of the ancient times’ evil lineage began, it could not be reversed.
Since Li Muyang knew the Remnant Clouds Movement Technique, he must have accepted the evil lineage’s inheritance.
Even if she spoke out now, it wouldn’t save him, and it would only make Li Yuechan heartbroken.
Rather than making her sad and troubled, it was better to keep it from her for now, and reveal the truth when Li Muyang went mad in the future.
After all, with her around, even if Li Muyang went mad with the resurgence of the evil lineage, he wouldn’t be able to harm Li Yuechan.
The mysterious woman sighed and said, “Forget it, you little girl are the least of my worries.”
“Let’s stop worrying about your brother and take care of yourself.”
“You’ve devoured so many demonic cultivators in one go, and you still haven’t fully digested them. Aren’t you afraid of bursting?”
“In the coming days, don’t run around anymore. Focus on your cultivation and absorb the demonic spiritual power accumulated in your body.”
Although the demonic cultivation technique of devouring was created by her, she was still somewhat shocked to see Li Yuechan’s reckless devouring and bitter cultivation.
This little girl, seemingly gentle and obedient, had a streak of madness in her bones.
It seemed thatbLi Muyang’s disappearance in Demon Sword City had truly stimulated her.
The mysterious woman feared that if she revealed the matter of the ancient times’ evil lineage, the girl would go crazy again.
“Go back to your cultivation. You can’t be lazy in the coming days. You must cultivate day and night without slack.”
The mysterious woman urged the girl to leave.
In the bamboo forest, the sound of the girl’s footsteps gradually faded away.
Meanwhile, in Li Muyang’s bamboo house, after sending away his little sister and Guan Xiaoshun, Li Muyang tidied up the room simply.
Then he lay down directly on the newly made bed and closed his eyes.
Game With the Fairies, start!
Now that the process of joining the Inner Sect was complete, it was time for the exciting game.
Li Muyang opened his eyes to find himself sitting in a stilted building in Black Cloud Village.
In front of him was a rough bowl filled with clear water.
Xiao Yecao, with a worried look, stared at him.
“Elder Brother, are you… are you really going to drink this?”
The girl’s face was full of disgust.
Li Muyang, holding the urn in his hand, coughed and said, “There’s no way around it, Granny Gu asked me to drink it, who dares not to drink…”
After speaking, Li Muyang poured all the ashes from the cloth bag into the bowl and stirred until they were evenly mixed.
Then he lifted the large bowl, closed his eyes, and gulped it down in one go.
Xiao Yecao’s face was a mix of disgust, revulsion, shock, and sympathy.
“…I must leave Black Cloud Village with Elder Brother.”
The girl murmured with sympathy in her heart.
Li Muyang, having drunk the bowl of ash water, blinked his eyes.
A system prompt popped up in his field of vision.
【Mysterious Ashes–Consumed】
【Ancient Evil Lineage has been activated…】
【Ancient Evil Lineage activation progress 0.1%…】
A progress bar appeared in his vision and began to grow steadily.
Li Muyang quickly ran to the window to pick up a mirror.
–This was bought from a traveling merchant a few years ago, and Xiao Yecao liked it very much.
But at this moment, Li Muyang was nervously examining his own reflection in the mirror.
However, even after the Ancient Evil Lineage was fully activated and an 【Ancient Evil Lineage】 BUFF appeared in Li Muyang’s vision, there was no change in his appearance in the mirror.
The activation of the Ancient Evil Lineage had no effect on Jiang Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yecao, on the other hand, was astonished.
“Elder Brother, why are you suddenly looking in the mirror?”
Li Muyang put down the mirror and said, “It’s nothing, I just suddenly wanted to see my handsome face.”
Consuming ashes can activate the Ancient Evil Lineage?
But it seems to be useless…
Li Muyang chose to sleep, and time in the game sped by quickly.
Soon, it was morning, and Li Muyang opened his eyes, rubbing his temples.
【I feel so tired… Did I have a nightmare?】
【My head is so heavy… What did I dream of last night?】
Two dialogue boxes popped up in his vision, and Li Muyang casually selected one.
Then he froze.
He clearly saw that the room was filled with pale blue transparent tentacles, and he seemed to be able to control their movements.
However, Xiao Yecao, who passed by, was completely unaware of the tentacles in the room and stepped right over a cluster of them.
Li Muyang’s eyes widened as he subconsciously made one of the tentacles wriggle.
The next second, the girl screamed.
“Ah!”
Her face flushed red, she looked at Li Muyang in utter shock, a shy blush quickly spreading over her body.
“Elder Brother, you… you…”
The shocked girl instinctively covered her skirt and clenched her legs, looking at Li Muyang in disbelief.
For a moment, she had distinctly felt a hand touching her thigh.
And in this room, there were only the two of them.
“…”
Li Muyang gave an awkward smile: “Well… if I say it wasn’t me who touched you, would you believe me?”
