Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 157 Misunderstanding
"Then why do you keep looking back?" The old man in black robe opened his eyes wide and glared at Shen Fuyu fiercely.

"Master, Murong Yue is on the run for fear of punishment. I was just chasing her. I finally found a clue about Murong Yue, but you interrupted me. I can't sense her whereabouts anymore. Master, I don't care. You have to take responsibility for this. You must tell me where Murong Yue went."

Shen Fuyu simply went all out and started to act like a scoundrel. After all, the old man in black robe had extraordinary abilities, and it was just a matter of finding someone, which was a simple matter for him.

"Ah!"

The old man in black robe snorted coldly, raised his hand and a sharp spiritual energy shot out from his hand. Shen Fuyu opened his eyes wide and wanted to dodge, but his body seemed to be fixed in place and unable to move. Shen Fuyu could only watch the spiritual energy coming at him.

"what!"

Shen Fuyu screamed in shock, and his body fell backwards like a kite with a broken string.

"puff!"

Shen Fuyu covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his lips. Considering that the old man in black robe had not had a guide rail recently, Shen Fuyu thought that the old man in black robe had changed his nature and decided to treat the old man in black robe seriously. Shen Fuyu, who sincerely regarded him as a master, had his heart beaten to pieces by the old man in black robe.

Bah! She didn't want a black-robed old man as her master, as he was such a moody person.

Shen Fuyu felt a sharp pain in her chest and her face turned pale. With trembling hands, she took out a pill and put it into her mouth.

Suddenly, Shen Fuyu felt that his energy and spirit had recovered a little. Shen Fuyu took a deep breath and looked at the old man in black robe, his eyes revealing confusion and unwillingness.

"Master, why did you suddenly take action?"

"Disobedient? Or perhaps you hate me and are secretly planning to defeat me once you surpass me in cultivation?"

Every word hit Shen Fuyu's mind.

But how could Shen Fuyu admit it?
Shen Fuyu forced himself to suppress the sharp pain in his chest, and with a forced smile, he said, "Master, how could that be? How could you think of me like that? It must be that I said something inappropriate, and Master had no choice but to take action. How could I, as a disciple, blame you?"

Although Shen Fuyu wanted to hold his breath, for some reason the words he said became sarcastic. Shen Fuyu bit his lip, and his body suddenly tensed up, always on guard against the black-robed old man's attack.

She was scared, really scared.

When the old man in black robe is in a good mood, he will patiently teach Shen Fuyu swordsmanship.

When Shen Fuyu thought that she could get closer to the old man in black robe and they could joke with each other appropriately, the old man in black robe would reveal his true colors and let Shen Fuyu recognize the fact that the relationship between her and the old man in black robe had never been equal, and the old man in black robe only gave charity unilaterally.

That’s right, it’s alms.

Shen Fuyu is extremely talented, and the old man in black robe will only teach Shen Fuyu reluctantly when he feels like it. Normally, the old man in black robe will never take the initiative to teach Shen Fuyu. Although the two are master and apprentice in name, they are never actually master and apprentice.

"Shen Fuyu, you are indeed a bit clever, but this little bit of cleverness is not enough for me."

The old man in black robe glanced at Shen Fuyu and understood Shen Fuyu's inner thoughts clearly.

If only talent were half as good as brains, that would be enough.

If he wanted to kill Shen Fuyu.

Oh no.

Whenever the old man in black robe was about to kill Shen Fuyu, a golden light would inexplicably protect Shen Fuyu, preventing the old man in black robe from succeeding. However, as long as Shen Fuyu's life was not in danger, the golden light would not appear.

Of course, the old man in black robe would not tell the truth.

"Shen Fuyu, if I really wanted to kill you, why would I resort to such a roundabout method? Feel your body carefully to see if there are any changes?"

The black-robed old man was full of disgust. Shen Fuyu was really stupid. After hearing the black-robed old man's words, Shen Fuyu concentrated his spiritual energy in his dantian and began to feel it carefully.

what!
Shen Fuyu was surprised to find that some parts of his body always felt blocked when he absorbed spiritual energy. No matter how Shen Fuyu used spiritual energy to flush the meridians, he could not change this feeling. However, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, the blockage seemed to dissipate a little and absorbing spiritual energy became twice as effective with half the effort. Shen Fuyu looked at the old man in black robe with complicated eyes.

The dull pain in his chest suddenly became very relaxed. Shen Fuyu jumped a few times on the spot. He did not feel any discomfort in his body. Instead, he felt much lighter than usual.

She looked down and saw that the blood she had just vomited was pure black.

"Master, did you attack me just now on purpose to force out the impurities in my body? After I spat out this mouthful of blood, I felt that my body's absorption of spiritual energy increased."

"Yeah." The old man in black robe had a sour face. Thinking that Shen Fuyu had misunderstood him just now, he suddenly felt very angry.

Shen Fuyu immediately managed his expression, looked at the black-robed old man with a smile, and began to massage his legs like a lackey, jumping out as if he was being obedient and wanted nothing to do.

"Master, I know you truly love your disciple. How could you be like a cunning villain like me? Master, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"

"I promise that when Master gets old, I will take care of him until his death, making all the old men in the world envy him."

Shen Fuyu has always been adaptable. He wanted to kill the old man in black robe just a second ago, but now he has returned to normal. He thinks there is nothing wrong with having a cheap master, but the cheap master does not like to explain when encountering things.

It doesn’t matter, at most she’ll say a few more words.

Shen Fuyu smiled.

When the old man in black robe saw this expression, only four big words remained.

Shameless.

Little rascal!
The old man in black robe ignored Shen Fuyu and let Shen Fuyu serve him carefully.

Only when the old man in black robe was satisfied with the service did he slowly speak.

"You heartless boy! Murong Yue was rescued by the Queen's men. It's useless for you to chase after her. The Queen is surrounded by experts, and you can't beat them." The old man in black robe had a look of disgust in his eyes, and his tone was full of gloating.

"Shen Fuyu, don't think that there are no masters in the mortal world. You are young and have traveled very little, so you don't know that there are masters hiding in the mortal world."

"Many masters are kept in captivity by their families and will never come out unless necessary. Shen Fuyu, if you don't practice hard, you will be beaten sooner or later."

The words of the old man in black robe sounded a wake-up call to Shen Fuyu.

Yes.

The small mountain village where the original owner was born has legends about big men ascending to heaven. How could these people in high positions not know about it?

Suddenly, Shen Fuyu's vigilance reached the extreme. She must not be careless in the future.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

Although she is also practicing, there must be someone in the world who is more powerful than her.

Shen Fuyu also made up his mind that he must not reveal his cultivation level in front of others.

"Okay, I understand, Master."
