Chapter 2

The Fine Traditions of Demonic Cultivators

Having been in this world for a year, Yu Zhao was suddenly given a cheat code, which left him somewhat bewildered.

It took her a while to come to her senses after sitting on the edge of the bed. She carefully felt the circulation of spiritual energy in her body and the memories of the new cultivation techniques and spells that appeared in her mind.

After sensing it for a while, Yu Zhao was quite surprised. The purification shown by the strange light screen was indeed real, and the cultivation techniques and spells had been completely transformed.

At the same time, Yu Zhao also realized that the cultivation techniques and spells she had originally mastered were actually problematic.

If you continue to cultivate according to the original method, you will inevitably suffer a backlash when you reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I was wondering why my senior brothers and sisters didn't resist until they died; it turns out they couldn't resist."

Yu Zhao muttered to herself. She had never understood why the senior brothers and sisters who were refined into pills by their master were all Foundation Establishment cultivators and had much better cultivation aptitude than their master. Even if they couldn't beat their master, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could just run away.

Why would you willingly wait to die?

The case is now solved. It wasn't that they didn't want to resist or run away, but rather that the cultivation method given by Old Deng was flawed. Practicing the method he gave them was tantamount to becoming his puppets.

"The demonic cultivators truly possess bizarre and unpredictable methods."

Thinking of this, Yu Zhao felt a wave of fear. If she hadn't unexpectedly obtained this strange cheat, she wouldn't even know how she died when she reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the same time, he became increasingly wary of demonic cultivators and even cultivators in this world. If his master, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, had such strange methods, how terrifying would those at the Golden Core stage and even the Nascent Soul stage be?

We must survive! We absolutely must survive!

Yu Zhao secretly warned herself that her current strength was not enough to be reckless. She had been too optimistic in the past, but it was not too late to wake up now. Moreover, she had a cheat code and her cultivation method had completely changed. When the time was right, she might be able to ambush and kill her master.

It's even possible that we won't need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage to take action.

"We need to plan this carefully."

Muttering to himself, Yu Zhao sat cross-legged and began to meditate and practice breathing exercises, while familiarizing himself with the modified techniques and spells.

Cultivation knows no time; when Yu Zhao went into seclusion, a month passed before she emerged.

It was early morning.

Yu Zhao came out of the house and stood in the courtyard, looking up at the rising sun. She let out a long breath. After being in this world for a year, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief today.

She could enter the Foundation Establishment realm at any time if she wanted to. In this remote little place, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be called a Foundation Establishment old monster.

The reason why Yu Zhao did not rush to break through was that he discovered that his previous cultivation of demonic arts had made his foundation unstable. The demonic arts and righteous cultivation methods in this world are completely different. The former pursues quick success but has an unstable foundation, while the latter is steady and solid.

Therefore, Yu Zhao suspected that demonic cultivators could not defeat righteous cultivators at the same level, but this was not absolute, as demonic cultivators had too many strange and unpredictable techniques.

Realizing that her foundation was unstable, Yu Zhao was not in a hurry to break through. Although she did not know what grade of the Jade Purity Technique she had obtained was, she was sure it was more reliable than the broken technique given to her by her old master.

So she cultivated according to the contents of the Jade Purity Manual, and she was indeed much stronger than before. Although she was still at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, the quality and total amount of spiritual power in her body were much stronger than before, at least more than twice as strong.

More importantly, Yu Zhao found that his state of mind was now more peaceful. He used to be very murderous and always wanted to kill his junior brothers and sisters, but now he felt that it was unnecessary.

Why are we fighting and killing each other?

My junior classmates are so cute.

"As expected, we still have to follow the righteous path; the demonic path truly has no future."

Muttering to herself, Yu Zhao stretched, her curves accentuated by her red dress, drawing attention.

At this moment, Yu Zhao was in an exceptionally happy mood. Even the big yellow dog in the yard that always came to steal her pastries now seemed so cute and docile.

"Suck, suck, suck! Here you go, Big Yellow."

She made a sucking sound, called to the big yellow dog lying by the wall, and threw it a chicken leg.

The big yellow dog was woken up by the noise. It looked at Yu Zhao with a confused expression, then at the chicken leg in front of it. Its canine brain was a little confused about the current situation.

Did this woman smile at it today? And even feed it chicken legs?

Is this chicken leg poisonous?

After hesitating for a moment, the big yellow dog picked up the chicken leg, turned around, and ran away. It didn't eat the chicken leg; it planned to give it to its owner. If its owner ate it and didn't die, it would come back to ask the woman for another one.

Watching the big yellow dog run off with the chicken leg in its mouth, Yu Zhao ignored it, went back inside to get a deck chair, and placed it in the yard, intending to sunbathe for a while.

Demonic cultivators don't really like the sun; they prefer the moon. Therefore, demonic cultivators are all night owls. Since becoming a demonic cultivator, Yu Zhao has also unconsciously developed a strong aversion to the sun.

She used to feel uncomfortable when the sun shone on her, but now that she's no longer a demonic cultivator, she can finally enjoy sunbathing.

Praise be to the sun!

Yu Zhao did not have the good fortune to enjoy this rare peace for long, as it was soon shattered by an intruder.

The newcomer was her second junior brother, named Wang Xuan, a man who didn't look like a good person at all, with a face full of fat and a scar running down to his left eye.

But this person also likes to wear white like his junior sister.

Wang Xuan approached Yu Zhao and saw him lying in the courtyard. He was somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Sister"

Yu Zhao glanced at the man and saw his fleshy face and white robes, and she immediately felt her eyes were being assaulted.

At the same time, I admire my junior sister even more. How could she sweetly call out "Brother Xuan" when faced with this face?

Suppressing the urge to complain, Yu Zhao adopted the dignified air of a senior sister and said slowly:

"Junior brother, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Reporting to Senior Sister, the day for recruiting new disciples has arrived. Master has instructed me to come and find you so that we can go down the mountain together to recruit new disciples."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhao's expression changed, and she subconsciously sat up.

It's perfectly normal for a legitimate sect to recruit new disciples, but Qingfeng Temple is not legitimate; it's a demonic sect disguised as a respectable minor sect.

How does the Demonic Sect recruit new members?

There's nothing more to it than four words: swindling and cheating!

Yu Zhao was tricked into coming, while Junior Sister was abducted. As for Wang Xuan... he joined on his own. He was originally a bandit, but his stronghold was wiped out. He was lucky enough to escape, and when he had nowhere else to go, he came to Qingfeng Temple.

In other words, Qingfeng Temple's recruitment of new members by such a demonic sect is truly immoral, and to be honest, Yu Zhao doesn't really want to do it.

But then she thought that if she didn't do it herself and let Wang Xuan do it alone, who knows what kind of terrible things might happen? With her involved, at least there was still a possibility of it being done.

Anyway, Master only wants people; he doesn't care how they came to be. It wouldn't hurt to bring back a few beggars.

Thus, the beggar found a way to survive, and the master gained a new disciple—a win-win situation.

As for whether these disciples will be refined into pills by Old Deng in the future, Yu Zhao said that Old Deng would have to live to see that day.

No, if I kill Lao Deng, then Qingfeng Temple will be mine!

This isn't about recruiting new disciples for Harden, it's about recruiting for myself!

Thinking of this, Yu Zhao immediately smiled, "Then what are you waiting for, Junior Brother? Let's go down the mountain now!"

Wang Xuan: "???"

What's wrong with you today, senior sister? Why are you in such a good mood all of a sudden?

Wang Xuan was puzzled, but he didn't think much of it. The two siblings disappeared into the sky on a flying rainbow.
