Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 2.2. The Fact-Knowing Fairy
Lu Changyuan's home is located in a village at the foot of the mountain.

He was actually quite popular in the surrounding villages, and many farm girls wanted to win him over.

This is because five or six years after the old doctor who adopted him died, Lu Changyuan became the only young doctor in the surrounding area. Whenever someone in the village had a headache or fever, they would come to the village entrance to find Lu Changyuan to take their pulse.

After taking the pulse, I prescribed a medicine, and after drinking it, most of the illnesses in the village were cured.

Therefore, everyone in the village, even the village's big yellow dog, respected Lu Changyuan greatly.

The sky was exceptionally clear after the rain, making the white streak in the sky clearly visible.

Lu Changyuan opened his door, placed Qiu Yuehan on his bed, then sat by the window and poured himself a cup of tea.

A soft female voice came from the bed: "I need to send a message to my sect to bring me back. You can come back with me then."

Lu Changyuan turned around and saw a pair of fair and rosy feet. A jade bracelet adorned her delicate ankles, which made her feet appear even smaller and more exquisite.

Looking further up from those shapely legs, you see a slender figure and a flawless face.

Earlier, it was too dark, and when he carried Qiu Yuehan back, he was thinking about things, so Lu Changyuan didn't really take a good look at this true disciple fairy who was second only to one person and above ten thousand people in the Immortal Palace.

Her skin was fair and delicate, she wore a simple white dress and a red floral decoration on her forehead. Her ethereal beauty was like the pure snow on a mountain peak. However, at this moment, Qingxue was sick and weak, and her pale face was almost devoid of any rosy color. A strand of hair on her forehead fell and clung to her cheeks, making her look somewhat pitiful.

"I'll say it was you who saved me. Miaoyu Palace will be grateful to you. Even if your talent is terrible, you can still become an outer disciple instead of a menial servant."

Qiu Yuehan's voice was as melodious as a clear spring: "I am very grateful to you for saving me, so, once we return to the palace, you can come to me if you need anything."

Lu Changyuan squinted.

thinking.

In just two short hours, he had calmed down, accepted the fact that he had been captured by a mere mortal, and was able to quickly understand his own position.

They no longer even mentioned the magic markings on their bodies.

Indeed, he is a true disciple of a major sect.

Boring.

Lu Changyuan had expected a delightful scene where the fairy vowed to resist to the death and ultimately shed tears of humiliation.

There aren't many fairies who are so sensible these days.

It's a shame he died like that.

So Lu Changyuan said, "Just send a message and I'll go and prepare the medicine for you. Although it won't completely cure your injury, it will at least help regulate your blood and qi."

Qiu Yuehan remained silent, her eyes lowered.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after Lu Changyuan closed the door.

The man in front of her seemed uninterested in her body; instead, his mind was filled with thoughts of cultivating immortality. This was truly a relaxing thing.

But there must be quite a few people like that.

In this world, it's normal for people to be uninterested in women, or to become interested in men, or even to become interested in non-human beings in order to cultivate immortality.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but touch the magic mark on her shoulder, gritted her teeth, and felt a slight chill slowly creep up her shoulder and into her heart.

The shattered heart meridians are actually slowly healing!?
Strange, this should be a deadly magic rune.

This made Qiu Yuehan, who was preparing to break through the magic runes, hesitate for a moment.

"Never mind, that's fine too."

The fairy murmured softly, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing as she leaned against the bed and gently closed her eyes.

Anyway, even if Lu Changyuan had any bad intentions towards her now, such as reaching out and snapping her delicate neck, she seemed to have no ability to resist.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Amidst the crackling fire, Lu Changyuan sat on the woodpile, slowly exhaling a breath in the firelight, and put down his palm-leaf fan.

He slowly turned his head to the side.

The blue sky suddenly rippled, and with a clear whooshing sound, two streaks of light left his home in the blink of an eye, parting the clouds and soaring straight to the horizon.

It almost overshadowed the beauty of that white mark.

This must be how Qiu Yuehan contacted Miaoyu Palace.

"Go on, tell me what's going on with Xia Lianxue."

The firelight reflected in Lu Changyuan's eyes, quickly revealing the blood-red characters.

[The Miaoyu Palace has two true disciples, one is Qiu Yuehan, and the other is Xia Lianxue, but Xia Lianxue has never defeated Qiu Yuehan.]

Lu Changyuan was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't too surprised.

"This really is the cultivation world I'm familiar with."

Yes, it suits my taste.

The cultivation world is such a despicable place. There can only be one position as the young palace master, so in the end, only one person will smile.

A line of text reappeared in his eyes.

Xia Lianxue has been corrupted by lust because of her jealousy of her senior sister Qiu Yuehan.

interesting.

I never expected to be dealing with this kind of weird stuff again so soon.

The game "The Immortal Path of Severing Emotions" has an extremely terrifying setting: being corrupted by lust.

Cultivators, whether on the righteous path or the demonic path, will be corrupted by lust if their minds are flawed and they succumb to desires. They will become neither human nor ghost, and ultimately die tragically in calamity.

Therefore, the righteous path cultivates the method of eliminating desire, while the demonic path cultivates the method of releasing desire, both in order to resist "desire".

It was obvious that Qiu Yuehan's junior sister had failed to resist her desires.

Lu Changyuan touched his eyes, and the words quickly faded away.

To this day, Lu Changyuan still doesn't understand what this character is or what triggering conditions it has.

It's like there's a cat with a strange temper living in your eyes, which jumps out and meows a couple of times when it wants to remind you.

That’s okay.

A wisp of energy slowly drifted into Lu Changyuan's body, only to be expelled in the next breath.

This body still lacks the conditions for cultivating immortality, and is far inferior to his previous self.

"Talent, oh talent, it's something to miss." Lu Changyuan smiled helplessly.

I never imagined I'd be facing another hellish start.

Back when he was a Taoist priest in Chang'an, Lu Changyuan chose the most difficult path, shaping his innate talents to be utterly ordinary.

Therefore, it wasn't until he was fifty years old that Chang'an Daoist finally embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.

Of course, killing countless people in the cultivation world after the age of fifty doesn't count.

This was my first time practicing the ruthless killing path; I was ignorant and just doing it for fun.

Suddenly, shouts came from outside.

"Doctor! Is Doctor Lu at home?"

The voice was quite childish, suggesting it belonged to a young girl.

Lu Changyuan seemed to have known he was coming. He took a small cloth bag from a cabinet not far away and then went outside.

There was indeed a thin little girl standing at the entrance.

He was dark-skinned and thin, looking more like a little boy.

Because of the heavy rain last night, even though the sun came out this morning, the muddy ground was still not dry, so the little girl's shoes were still covered in wet mud.

She was out of breath, as if she had rushed over: "Dr. Lu, as you said, I came to you this morning to pick up the medicine I was supposed to get."

The girl's name was Ku Niu. Her father was a hunter who was eaten by a tiger while hunting in the mountains a few years ago. Ku Niu was left to rely on her seriously ill mother for survival.

Lu Changyuan handed the cloth bag to the little girl: "Prepare it as usual."

Ku Niu nodded vigorously, rubbed her hands hard on her clothes, and then respectfully accepted the cloth bag: "Thank you, Dr. Lu. I will bring you the eggs in a few days."

People in the mountains don't have much money, so they still rely on bartering.

Lu Changyuan just smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, go back. Don't go out these next few days, things might not be peaceful."

Bitter Girl stared blankly: "Doctor, is something about to happen?"

"I heard a tiger roar when I went up the mountain yesterday. I'm afraid a tiger is coming down to eat people. It's best not to go out for the next few days."

Seeing that Lu Changyuan said so, Ku Niu nodded vigorously: "I will tell the villagers as well."

Ku Niu carefully wrapped the cloth bag inside her clothes and ran all the way home.

She has already planned it all out.

I ran back to prepare medicine for my mother, then prepared lunch, and then ran to our own fields. As long as she was quick enough, the farm work shouldn't take too long today.

I should be able to get home before sunset.

boom.

Ku Niu steadied her bulging clothes with her right hand and touched her forehead with her left.

hit someone.

"sorry."

She was polite from a young age, and she apologized instinctively.

"It doesn't matter."

The voice that answered was cold. Despite it being the middle of summer, it sent a chill down Ku Niu's spine. She then looked up, following the person's shadow.

They were two men in black robes, their faces pale.

Ku Niu took two steps back and fell to the ground, but his right hand was still tightly protecting the medicine bag. He asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are?"

To his surprise, the two gaunt men in black actually smiled at him.

One of them reached out and helped the girl up, saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid of us, we're just peddlers passing through the village."

This is a complete lie.

Which peddler doesn't carry a load on a shoulder pole?

Ku Niu didn't believe it, but she still obediently nodded, hoping that these two people weren't there to steal the medicine.

"Little one, did you see any unfamiliar people entering the village today?"

The village is only so big; a stranger could spot it at a glance.

Ku Niu shook her head: "Never seen it before."

Seemingly afraid that the two wouldn't believe her, Ku Niu added, "It's true, I've never seen it before."

Before dawn, Lu Changyuan hid Qiu Yuehan in his room. Apart from the big yellow dog, no one in the village saw Qiu Yuehan.

The man in black nodded and said, "Then go ahead and do your work."

The two men made way for her. Ku Niu was stunned for a few moments, then got up and ran away quickly.

she thought.

Dr. Lu was right after all.

The sun-drenched girl grew farther and farther away, finally disappearing into the scattered villages.

a long time.

One of the men in black robes spoke up: "I never expected to find someone with such a tragic fate in such a poor mountain village."

"Once the matter is settled, take her back. Young Master will be very pleased."

“I’ve already marked her.”

A hoarse laugh slowly drifted out.

"Let's kill that Miaoyu disciple first. Tsk, I think all the righteous fairies in the heavens are vicious and venomous."

"It's always been like this, what's so surprising about it?"

The two slowly disappeared into the shadows of the house, and were no longer visible.
