Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 47: Been Targeted by Buddhist Cultivators!

Looking at this despicable traitor in front of her, Consort Duanmu had no choice but to throw two high-grade Earth-rank cultivation techniques to him.

"Wind and Snow Divine Slash!"

Cao Meng had seen An Yingji use this technique before, and he felt it was pretty good, full of a cool and pretentious vibe!

"The Finger of Penetrating the Netherworld!!"

As for this technique, Cao Meng felt it was a bit frivolous.

So he turned his gaze to Consort Duanmu and asked:
"Master, this cultivation technique has an inappropriate name. Is it a proper cultivation technique?"

Cao Meng was a little afraid that one day he would use this technique and be accused of being a pervert by the female cultivator, which would ruin his lifelong reputation!

Duanmu Fei knew perfectly well that Cao Meng had misunderstood, so she rolled her eyes at this rebellious student.
"You unfilial disciple, this is a legitimate cultivation technique. As for whether the user is a decent person, that's another matter!"

"Master, how about you arrange a pavilion for me within the sect? I'd like to use it as a market to sell goods!"

Cao Meng wanted to open a shop within the sect to sell off useless items and exchange them for spirit stones.

Although he doesn't have many things to sell now, as he makes more 'friends' in the future, he will naturally have more items to sell.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Consort Duanmu coughed once, then solemnly said:

“You unfilial disciple, although you are my disciple, I am the sect leader of the Joyful Union Sect. I cannot show favoritism or bias towards anyone, not even if you are my disciple, unless…”

This rebellious disciple dared to speak to me so bluntly. Now that he wants to make demands of his master, he must pay the price.

Although he looked down on this rebellious disciple's paltry sums, he was determined to make this disciple suffer and let him know that his master was not someone to be trifled with!

"You are my master, how dare you say such a thing!"

Consort Duanmu's words were practically a direct request for benefits, which immediately enraged Cao Meng, who vehemently condemned her shameless behavior.

Consort Duanmu flashed to Cao Meng's side, reached out and pinched his face, soothingly saying:

"You unfilial disciple, you and Yingji are my only two disciples. When my lifespan is exhausted, all my wealth will be yours!"

Consort Duanmu was, after all, the head of a clan, and her greatest skill was appeasing people and making empty promises.

Faced with the rosy promises made by Consort Duanmu, Cao Meng subconsciously asked:

"Master, how much lifespan do you have left?"

According to Cao Meng's knowledge, under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is generally between two and three thousand years.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to consume elixirs or rare treasures that extend their lifespan, it wouldn't be impossible for them to live for tens of thousands of years.

Cao Meng had to bite the bullet and try to gauge Duanmu Fei's opinion today.

"You rebellious disciple, you really dare to think like that!"

Consort Duanmu punched Cao Meng on the head and roared:

"You unfilial disciple, your master still has a long life ahead of him. Even if I do nothing now, I can live for at least 2,500 years!"

Duanmu Fei felt that Cao Meng was getting more and more arrogant and was going further and further down the path of becoming a traitor!
Upon hearing that Consort Duanmu would live for at least another 2,500 years, Cao Meng immediately abandoned the idea of ​​inheriting her wealth.

Two thousand five hundred years, I estimate I would have ascended to immortality by now.

At that time, he wouldn't even look at Duanmu Fei's paltry sums.

"Master, if you, as the sect leader, can't handle the market, I'll go find Uncle Xia. At worst, I'll open the market inside the sect's dining hall!"

To get Duanmu Fei's help, Cao Meng had no choice but to use reverse psychology.

The tactic of provocation works on both men and women; sometimes, women are even more susceptible to it.

"You unfilial disciple, do you really think Xia Yulan is genuinely good to you? She discovered your sacred body as a furnace vessel and is lusting after your body!"

Consort Duanmu felt that if she didn't warn Cao Meng, he wouldn't realize how treacherous people can be. He might be tricked into bed and subjected to sexual exploitation, thinking the person was doing him a favor!

In fact, Cao Meng was also unsure about Xia Yulan, and couldn't figure out if she was lusting after him.

If the other party was after her sacred body and furnace, she had every opportunity to make a move back in Xingluochuan.

To say she wasn't attracted to his body was an exaggeration; however, ever since the other party discovered that her Ten-Day Sacred Body was actually a furnace body, he had become exceptionally affectionate towards her!

“You unfilial disciple, let me give you some advice: Xia Yulan’s true nature is not what it seems on the surface.”

You'd better be careful, or you won't even know how you died at her hands!

Duanmu Fei and Xia Yulan were of the same generation, and she knew something about Xia Yulan's methods!

Now that Cao Meng and Xia Yulan are getting close, Duanmu Fei, as their master, should remind this rebellious disciple.

Seeing Duanmu Fei's serious expression, Cao Meng felt that she wasn't lying, and that he should be wary of Xia Yulan in the future.

"You unfilial disciple, I will arrange the market you requested!"

Consort Duanmu agreed to provide Cao Meng with a market town, but she had conditions, which she then stated:

"You traitor, the Supreme Yang Pearls you refined can only be sold to disciples of this sect, not to people from other sects!"

Consort Duanmu had long known that the Supreme Yang Pearl was crafted by Cao Meng, since she was very familiar with its yang energy.

The Supreme Yang Pearl is beneficial to the cultivation of female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect. Currently, even within the Hehuan Sect, there is a shortage of Supreme Yang Pearls, so Consort Duanmu forbids Cao Meng from selling Supreme Yang Pearls to outsiders.

"Master, don't worry!"

Cao Meng quickly nodded in agreement. In any case, the sales rights of the Zhiyang Pearl now belonged to Xia Yulan, so even if there were problems with the sales, it would have nothing to do with him, Cao Meng.

……

Canglan Realm, Western Region Continent, also known as Western Region Buddhist Continent.

In the sacred Wanfo Temple, a place of three thousand Buddhist kingdoms, a dignified middle-aged monk in a kasaya sat high on a lotus platform and addressed the monks seated on prayer mats below:

"Gentlemen, I have already investigated the reason for the abnormality of the ancestral vein in the Western Regions Buddhist Continent. It was caused by the resonance between the innate Geng Metal body and the ancestral vein."

Mingguang is the contemporary Living Buddha of Wanfo Temple and the leader of the monks of the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms.

After the monks bowed and paid their respects to the Living Buddha Mingguang, they asked in unison:

"Living Buddha Mingguang, do you know where the innate Geng Metal body is located?"

The monks present were all high-ranking members of the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms, so they all knew the importance of the Innate Geng Metal Body to the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms. That is why they were so eager to know where the Innate Geng Metal Body was!
“Previously, a wisp of Geng metal energy from the ancestral lineage fled towards the Eastern Dao Continent, therefore the innate Geng metal body should be in the Eastern Dao Continent!”

The Living Buddha Mingguang truthfully expressed his speculation, stating that he was about 80% certain about it.

Upon hearing that it was Daozhou in the Eastern Region, the eminent monks began to discuss among themselves.

In the minds of the eminent monks, the Eastern Continent was a place of suffering.

The righteous and demonic factions in the Eastern Continent have been fighting each other for years without any peace, causing widespread suffering among the people!

What left the high monks speechless the most was that the righteous and demonic forces in the Eastern Continent not only fought amongst themselves behind closed doors, but also frequently came to other continents to ask for outside help.

After rising from his meditation cushion, the old monk first straightened his robes, then bowed to the Living Buddha Mingguang and earnestly requested:

“Living Buddha Mingguang, the innate Geng Metal body is extremely important to our Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms. This old monk humbly requests the Living Buddha to issue a decree to welcome back the innate Geng Metal body!”

According to ancient records from the Three Thousand Buddhist Kingdoms, the ancestral vein beneath the Western Buddhist Continent is a Geng Metal spiritual vein.

If someone with an innate Geng Metal constitution cultivates in the secret ancestral veins of the Western Buddhist Continent, there is a 30% chance they can ascend to become an immortal or Buddha.

A 30% probability may seem small, but it is actually quite high!

It should be noted that in the Canglan Realm, no one has ascended to become an immortal (Buddha) for nearly 100,000 years.
