Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 163 Master

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Luo, on becoming a disciple of our Medicine Peak!"

The blood is dripped onto the card, and the agreement officially takes effect.

After Luo Qingchen received her identity token and clothes, Song Qilin rushed over to congratulate her.

He was also a disciple of Yaofeng.

Ren Song from the Refining Peak, standing to the side, also greeted Wang Xun with a broad smile, saying, "Old Wang, congratulations!"

Wang Xun glared at him irritably and said, "Get lost!"

Ren Song chuckled, not angry at all. He cupped his hands in farewell to him and Fei Yan in the wooden house, and then left.

Fei Yan said in the wooden house, "Junior Nephew Luo, you are now a disciple of Medicine Peak. Go back with Elder Wang first, and you will be assigned a master in the next few days. As for the rules of Medicine Peak, you can ask him directly, or you can ask the other disciples on Medicine Peak."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Fei."

Luo Qingchen bowed and thanked him.

He had naturally heard what was just said. If it weren't for this Senior Uncle Fei helping him, even Yao Feng probably wouldn't have wanted him.

Fei Yan smiled meaningfully, glanced at Wang Xun who had a bitter face beside him, and said, "Just call me Steward Fei. I might be two generations older than you in the future. And this Elder Wang, you can just call him Elder Wang. Remember to flatter him."

Wang Xun's face twitched, and he glared at him, saying, "I haven't agreed yet! I've only agreed to take him to Medicine Peak. As for who will accept him as a disciple, that's uncertain!"

Fei Yan smiled, said nothing more, and went back to the cabin.

Seeing that the die was cast, Wang Xun sighed again and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go back to Medicine Peak with me. I'll arrange a cave dwelling for you first."

Luo Qingchen followed respectfully behind.

Song Qilin also took his leave.

An old man and a young man walked towards Medicine Peak, one in front of the other.

Throughout the journey, Wang Xun kept a straight face and didn't say a word, appearing to be in a very bad mood.

Luo Qingchen didn't care about his mood. Seeing that there was no one on the road, she couldn't wait to ask, "Elder Wang, when can this disciple obtain the cultivation technique?"

Wang Xun continued walking ahead, pretending not to hear what was said.

After a moment, seemingly realizing that it wasn't appropriate to treat a junior like this, he spoke in a cold voice: "Are you in a hurry?"

Once you're assigned a master, you'll naturally be given the cultivation techniques to practice.

"May I cultivate soul techniques?"

Luo Qingchen asked again.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xun suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. His expression shifted several times before he said with a grim face, "You brat, you want to cultivate soul techniques?"

Luo Qingchen replied firmly, "Yes."

Wang Xun frowned and said, "Then why not go to Corpse Demon Peak?"

"They don't want me there."

Luo Qingchen was very frank and honest.

Wang Xun's facial muscles twitched a few more times, and he stared at him for a few moments, his expression shifting, before saying coldly:

;

"Medicine Peak forbids the cultivation of soul techniques!"

After saying that, he continued walking forward.

After taking a few steps, he turned around and saw that the other person had stopped in place and hadn't followed. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Qingchen stood still and said, "If one cannot cultivate soul techniques at Medicine Peak, then this disciple will not go."

Wang Xun's face darkened: "What do you take my Medicine Peak for? The waist token has already been made, and I've already agreed to Steward Fei's request. Now you're saying you're not going?"

Luo Qingchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I asked Senior Brother Song and Steward Fei before, and they both said that one can cultivate the techniques of other peaks on each peak."

Wang Xun narrowed his eyes, stared at him for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to cultivate soul techniques?"

Did you know that cultivating soul techniques requires extremely high talent, a strong soul, and also shortens one's lifespan?

"This disciple understands."

Luo Qingchen bowed respectfully, her attitude both humble and resolute: "But this disciple still wishes to give it a try."

Wang Xun frowned, staring at him with a complicated expression, and the image of that once arrogant and ghostly figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"Hmph, let's talk about it when someone is willing to be your master."

"

After a long silence, he snorted coldly and continued walking forward, without saying anything more about not allowing him to cultivate soul techniques.

Luo Qingchen silently followed.

It doesn't matter if no one is willing to be his master, as long as he is given cultivation techniques and can practice soul arts.

Not long after.

The two climbed the steps up a hillside.

A long wooden bridge shrouded in mist comes into view, with one end on this side of the hillside and the other end on a mountain peak opposite.

Below the bridge, a sheer cliff rises amidst swirling clouds.

On the left side of the bridge, in the bushes, stands a thick wooden sign with the two large characters "Yaofeng" scrawled on it.

The two of them stepped onto the wooden bridge, one after the other.

As you cross the wooden bridge, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs wafts through the air.

The sun shines brightly overhead, and the roadside is adorned with vibrant colors.

Compared to the dark and lifeless Medicine Man Town and Outer Gate, this place is not only bathed in bright sunshine, but also filled with colorful flowers and lush green plants, as if it were another world.

The sky was blue, the sunshine was beautiful, the air was sweet, and the scenery was picturesque.

"Senior Sister Bai would probably really like it here, right? There are so many flowers here—"

For some reason, looking at the beautiful scenery before him, he couldn't help but think of that aloof figure in a white dress, walking slowly and alone in the dark forest.

Looking ahead, there was a large, lush medicinal herb field, where several figures were bending down and pulling weeds.

"Each disciple of Medicine Peak will be allocated three acres of medicinal herb fields. Regardless of whether you cultivate medicine techniques or not, and regardless of whether you like planting and refining herbs, you must take good care of the three acres of medicinal herb fields allocated to you."

"You can take care of it yourself, or you can have your pharmacist take care of it."

"Each inner disciple may bring up a maximum of three medicine practitioners. These practitioners must be no more than twenty years old, and must be in good health, without any diseases or disabilities."

Walking along the path beside the medicinal herb field, Wang Xun inspected the field while telling him what each disciple needed to do.

"If more than ten medicinal plants die in one acre of medicinal field, one month's worth of cultivation herbs will be deducted, and the person cultivating the field will be whipped twenty times. If more than twenty medicinal plants die, half a year's worth of cultivation herbs will be deducted, and the person cultivating the field will be executed."

"After entering the inner sect, you will have twelve more medicinal herbs for cultivation than you did in the outer sect, and their quality will be higher."

"Before, with your medicinal baths, one magic stone a month should have been enough. Now, you'll need at least three a month."

Luo Qingchen followed behind, listening attentively, not daring to miss a single word.

"Also, remember, no killing or hitting is allowed here. Unless the other party trespasses into your cave or strikes first."

After passing through the medicinal herb field, Wang Xun immediately turned back to look at him and gave him a solemn warning.

He paused, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately added, "Also, you must not harbor any hostility towards Master! You are not allowed to plot against Master! And you are absolutely forbidden to harm Master! This place is different from the outer sect; Master is like your parents. You must respect and be filial to him, and you are not allowed to have any disloyal thoughts! Do you understand?"

Luo Qingchen respectfully replied, "This disciple will remember."

Is this taking advantage of him because he's new and doesn't know the rules?

He had previously read the inner sect rules in the library, and these clauses were not found there.

"Let's go."

Wang Xun stared at him warily for a few more moments before leading him forward.

Before long, a sharp mountain peak, like a bamboo shoot, appeared ahead, piercing the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that many caves had been carved out on the mountain.

Wang Xun led him to one of the cave dwellings and said, "This is your cave dwelling. Stay here for now. We'll see if you need to change cave dwellings after your master makes his decision."

He further cautioned, "There's a cliff next to us, and forbidden territory behind us. Since you've just arrived, it's best not to wander around. Also, don't trespass into other people's caves or linger in front of them. Otherwise, if you're mistaken for a thief and beaten to death, no one will stand up for you."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Luo Qingchen quickly asked, "Elder Wang, how many days will it take to confirm Master's identity?"

Wang Xun glanced at him and said, "The earliest is tomorrow, the latest is three days. What, are you in such a hurry to confirm your master so you can prepare to betray your master and ancestors?"

Luo Qingchen's lips twitched, and she said, "This disciple just wants to cultivate faster. This disciple doesn't have a cultivation technique yet."

.

Wang Xun said calmly, "Whether or not anyone wants you tomorrow, I will have someone send you cultivation techniques and medicinal herbs, but that doesn't include soul cultivation techniques. If you really want to cultivate soul techniques, you'll have to wait until you've mastered other cultivation methods. Once you have a master, you can ask your master for them directly."

"Also, you'd better prepare the medicine practitioners in advance. Once your master confirms, we'll start allocating the medicine fields. If you think you can cultivate and manage the medicine fields on your own, that's certainly possible."

After saying that, he quickly left.

Luo Qingchen stood at the entrance of the cave, pondered for a while, and then turned and entered the cave.

The cave is very spacious, with one outer room and three inner rooms.

There is a separate kitchen for brewing medicine, an inner room for cultivation, and a sleeping room, all furnished with all kinds of furniture and items.

They even have charcoal for boiling medicine.

Once he has the cultivation method tomorrow, he can immediately begin his medicinal bath cultivation.

As for soul techniques, since the sect stipulates that any disciple can cultivate them, he is naturally not afraid that his master will not give him the techniques.

The only thing that gave him a headache was his three acres of medicinal herb fields.

Each disciple must cultivate three acres of medicinal herbs; if too many herbs die, they will be punished.

He had never farmed before, let alone grown delicate medicinal herbs.

Moreover, managing the medicinal herb fields is a huge waste of time.

He now only wants to focus on cultivation and devote all his time to it.

I wonder if similar tasks are assigned on other peaks.

"It seems we really need to bring up a few medicine-using individuals—"

After thinking it over carefully, and seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to Medicine Man Town.

Now that we've decided to find the medicine man, let's take advantage of the time we still have and get this done, so that when the cultivation method arrives and Master approves it, there won't be time to go down.

His time is very precious right now.

Once he obtains the cultivation technique, he will immediately take a medicinal bath and practice, in preparation for cultivating soul techniques.

With that thought in mind, he changed his clothes and left the cave.

Along the way, I observed the surrounding environment and saw medicinal herb fields everywhere.

The air was filled with a rich medicinal aroma, which was refreshing and invigorating.

As he was about to leave Yaofeng, he suddenly looked at a flower in the bushes by the roadside, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

Soon, he arrived at the main gate at the foot of the main peak.

There is a stone house at the entrance, and a thin old man sits inside. Every inner disciple needs to register here before going down the mountain.

"Master Shang, your disciple Luo Qingchen wishes to go down the mountain to find the Medicine Man."

He took out his waist token and handed it into the stone house.

The old man named Shang Dahai took the waist token, glanced at it, and tossed it back to him, saying indifferently, "Come back early. You can only bring back a maximum of three medicine people. You need to register at the Medicine People Town office first. Remember, the other party must be willing."

"Disciple understands."

Luo Qingchen bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out the door.

Outside the gate, there is a steep, downward-facing stone staircase.

This stone staircase also leads to the outer gate below, but you don't need to enter the outer gate; you can go directly to Medicine Man Town.

At the stone steps, clouds and mist swirl around, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

But when he reached the stone steps at the outer gate and continued down, the white mist suddenly turned into black mist, and the previous ethereal scene disappeared, immediately becoming eerie and sinister.

The air was also filled with a chilly atmosphere.

He encountered many disciples along the way, and upon seeing the two skulls embroidered on his chest, they all looked at him with awe, immediately lowered their heads, and respectfully stepped aside.

Several familiar faces from the outer sect looked astonished upon seeing him, but immediately lowered their heads and respectfully greeted him, "Senior Brother Luo."

""

After becoming an inner disciple, one's status and position are naturally incomparable to those of the outer disciples.

Even some of the elders from the outer sect treated him with great courtesy.

Without stopping along the way, they soon arrived at Medicine Man Town.

Medicine Man Town is still the same Medicine Man Town.

The sky was dark, black matter floated in the air, and the surrounding area was filled with eerie black forests.

The whole town looked dark and gloomy, with a depressing atmosphere.

It was almost evening, and there were more pedestrians on the street. They were all stiff and expressionless, like walking corpses.

Luo Qingchen glanced at Zhao Shi's stall from afar but did not go over.

The other person is doing quite well here; at least, they're not living as hard a life as he is.

When he passed by Baixianglou, he only glanced at it casually and did not stop. The two girls standing at the intersection did not seem to recognize him.

Soon, he arrived at Ziwei Pharmacy.

Inside the shop, the sound of pounding medicine could be heard, along with A-Yao's clear voice.

"Master, that guy has come three times this month. Every time he takes the medicine, he says he forgot to bring money and that he'll bring it later. He always lies. Humph, next time he comes, we can't give him any more medicine."

At this moment, Chen Ya's angry voice came from the innermost part: "How dare you say that! Isn't it always you who takes the initiative to get him the medicine? Master hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already getting the medicine. Do you own this pharmacy? Master always pays for the medicine; did you pay for it?"

Ayao said weakly, "I asked Master every time, and Master nodded. I went to that person's house with Master last month. Everyone in his family died, and he was all alone. Moreover, he has a terminal illness and can't even eat anymore. He—"

"He has a terminal illness and can't afford to eat. What does that have to do with you? Do you think you're Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

"I—I'm not, Master is! Master is even more beautiful and compassionate than Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Hehe, senior sister, don't be angry, getting angry will make you age faster.

"Stop being so cheeky! If you dare do that again, I'll beat you to death!"

As the two were bickering, Bai Tang, who was quietly reading a book at the counter, suddenly looked up and looked towards the door.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the doorway.

The slender girl, who was waving her fists to scare A Yao, suddenly trembled when she saw the person who came, and the anger on her face vanished without a trace.
