Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The area around the second senior brother's bed gradually became calmer. When he first became paralyzed, many junior brothers and sisters took turns visiting and taking care of him every day. However, the number of people coming to take care of him decreased every day. Gradually, his bedside became as quiet as the bedssides of Li Gu and Zheng senior brothers.

As evening fell, the sun began to set.

As usual, the junior sister was feeding Li Gu porridge.

Today, her movements weren't standard during practice, so she was punished by her senior sister to do extra practice, which is why she arrived late. When she started feeding Li Gu porridge, the beds next to Senior Brother Zheng and Second Senior Brother were already empty.

"Senior Brother Wu hasn't bothered me these past few days," the junior sister murmured as she fed him porridge, as if talking to herself. "It seems he's given up. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

The sun outside the window kept sinking behind the mountain peaks until it was completely invisible.

When the junior sister finished feeding the porridge, it was already completely dark outside.

She was about to go back when the door opened.

Wu Wangshu crawled in.

The junior sister's heart skipped a beat: "Ah? Senior Brother Wu? What are you doing here so late?"

Wu Wangshu feigned ignorance, saying, "I've come to visit my second senior brother."

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Wu Wangshu's statement just now, "I've come to visit my second senior brother," is a lie. This type of lie cannot be forced to become true.]

Li Gu sneered inwardly: So they came specifically to find their junior sister?

Wu Wangshu smiled and said, "It's good that Junior Sister is here. I have some news I wanted to tell you."

The junior sister looked wary: "What news?"

Wu Wangshu said, "This morning it was my turn to go up the mountain to chop firewood. I found a strange ginseng. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was actually a Netherworld Mystic Soul Ginseng. Just as I was about to dig it up, it suddenly took off running away, and I couldn't catch it."

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Wu Wangshu's entire statement was a lie. Do you want to force the lie to become the truth? Yes/No.]

Li Gu thought to himself, "Hmm," but didn't rush to make a choice and listened attentively.

The junior sister asked curiously, "What is the Netherworld Profound Soul Ginseng? How can ginseng move around?"

"It's not surprising that an old ginseng that has become a spirit can run away." Wu Wangshu lowered his voice mysteriously: "Its main root is like an infant, with a ghostly blue phosphorescence. If eaten raw, it can regenerate severed limbs and reshape meridians."

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Wu Wangshu's entire statement was a lie. Do you want to force the lie to become the truth? Yes/No.]

Upon hearing this, the junior sister's breathing quickened instantly, and her heart pounded faster: "If we give this to Senior Brother Li, will it cure him?"

Wu Wangshu replied decisively, "Definitely!"

Although the junior sister was naive, she wasn't stupid. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "You're not just kidding me, are you?"

Wu Wangshu put on a serious face: "What good would it do me to lie to you? It would only make you hate me more. I didn't tell any of my other junior brothers and sisters about such a good thing, I only told you, so that it wouldn't be snatched away by Senior Sister Zhang or someone who admires Second Senior Brother. I did this just in the hope of changing Junior Sister's opinion of me."

The junior sister pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Where did you encounter it?"

Wu Wangshu pointed to the hillside to the east: "It's on this slope, Junior Sister. If you want to catch it, you can't go during the day. Even with my Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivation, I can't catch it; it runs too fast. You'd better go at night. It's too early now. You'll have a chance in the middle of the night when it's asleep."

The junior sister bit her lower lip, clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wu. If I catch this ginseng and cure Senior Brother Li, I will definitely repay you. I would do anything for you without batting an eye."

Wu Wangshu shook his head seriously: "Who wants you to be my slave? As long as you don't treat me like a lecherous scoundrel, but as a friend, I'll be satisfied."

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Everything Wu Wangshu just said was a lie. Do you want to force the lies to become the truth? Yes/No.]

Li Gu ordered: Select "Yes" for all!

Wu Wangshu clasped his hands in a fist salute and left gracefully.

The junior sister's face held seven parts doubt and only three parts expectation. She sat down beside Li Gu's bed, looked down at his face, and after a long while, reached out and gently touched Li Gu's face: "Senior Brother Li, I don't really believe what Senior Brother Wu said, but... even if he's lying to me, I still want to go and find him. Just in case, I mean just in case what he said is true, he can cure you."

Li Gu chuckled inwardly: No need for "what ifs," he's just lying! Usually, when the system alerts me that someone is lying, it will single out the lie in that one sentence. But this time, every time Wu Wangshu says something, the system notifies me that Wu Wangshu's entire sentence is a lie. That's really something.

How can you do that? You've said so much, and every single word is a lie.

This level is just too high!

Junior Sister whispered, "Senior Brother Li, I'll go back to my room first, change into some clothes that are easy to move in, and then prepare some tools before heading to Dongpo to find that strange ginseng. Wait for my good news."

After saying that, he ran out the door quickly.

Li Gu sighed inwardly... Well, now it's my turn to think about what to do.

Before he could even process what was happening, the window opened, and Wu Wangshu, who had just left, climbed back in through the window and sat down in front of Li Gu's bed, looking at Li Gu with a strange smile.

"Senior Brother Li, we have no grudges against each other, and I have no problem with you. It's just a pity that Junior Sister has fallen for you, which has caused me to harbor a lot of resentment towards you."

Wu Wangshu lowered her voice and said, "When you heard about that ginseng, were you a little excited, a little hopeful? Sorry, you should put those hopes aside. It was all a lie, hahaha! Even the name of that ginseng was something I made up on the spot. I know she won't believe it completely, but as long as there's even a sliver of hope, she'll try, right?"

Li Gu looked at him as if he were a fool.

Wu Wangshu continued, "I'll go up the mountain now and lie in ambush. When my junior sister arrives, it'll just be the two of us on the hillside. I'm at the second level of Qi Refining, and her body cultivation is a mess. Guess how many moves it will take me to take her down?"

He chuckled sinisterly, "In a little while, when I've arranged her in all sorts of ways, do you think she'll cry? She'll be enduring my torment while crying, and she'll be spitting out your name from her throat. Just thinking about that scene makes me so excited, hahahaha."

Li Gu's eyes turned cold, filled with murderous intent.

He focused his attention on his ears, listening intently to the sounds outside the window, making sure there was no one near the lonely house, not missing a single footstep, breathing sound, or even a heartbeat...

No!

Apart from Senior Brother Zheng and Second Senior Brother on the bed, there was no one else around.

Once everything is confirmed to be correct, we can proceed.
