Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

Wu Wangshu felt as if his face had hit an invisible wall, a wall of air.

It's very hard!

Like a piece of iron!

His face was clearly not made of iron. With a dull thud, Wu Wangshu felt his nose break and his facial bones crack in several places. The massive impact flattened his entire face...

But that's not the worst part.

What was terrifying was that several streams of true energy suddenly emerged from the defensive formation, flowing like a blade of wind, slicing towards his body from all directions. The cuts were fine and dense, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Wangshu was cut into pieces by the true energy. Countless pieces of flesh, bones, and blood burst open and spread over a radius of ten feet, leaving only his head intact.

Li Gu clicked his tongue inwardly. This defensive formation was truly ruthless; it would blast wild rabbits into mincemeat, and the same would happen to humans. Could such a ferocious defensive formation be something a master who cared for his disciples would create? Wasn't Hua Qianfang at all worried that some disciples might accidentally stumble upon it while chopping wood?

It's obvious he's not worried! He doesn't care!

He only cared whether any disciples had escaped and whether the matter of the Hidden Flower Pavilion had been made public.

This further strengthened Li Gu's determination to escape this hellish place as soon as possible.

He carefully slid down the hillside, and when he reached the halfway point, he saw his junior sister Meng Ting. She was quietly searching for something in the pitch black. Clearly, she was looking for the ginseng that shouldn't exist, the thing that Wu Wangshu made up.

The junior sister's cultivation level was too low, and the steep eastern slope was quite difficult for her. She would slip after taking a few steps, and her clothes would often get caught on thorns. When she pulled, it would make a "ripping" sound and tear a small hole in her clothes.

But she didn't back down. She just wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to crouch down and search in the grass.

Li Gu sighed inwardly, looked down at the ginseng he had put in the bag, and considered for three seconds whether he should take it out and throw it on the ground so that his junior sister could find it.

Do not!

No!

Doing that would give Junior Sister the wrong message. She might mistakenly think that Wu Wangshu is a good person, and she might even shed a few tears for his death. That scumbag doesn't deserve those few tears!

There are even better uses for this ginseng.

Li Gu quietly bypassed his junior sister and returned to the secluded house.

The room remained quiet; both the second senior brother and the Zheng senior brother were awake with their eyes open.

Li Gu sat down in front of Senior Brother Zheng's bed and whispered, "Senior Brother Zheng, I have something important to tell you. If you agree, blink twice; if you disagree, don't blink."

Senior Brother Zheng blinked twice, indicating that he would cooperate.

Li Gu then opened the bag and took out the ginseng that shimmered with a blue phosphorescence: "Senior Brother Zheng, this should be able to heal your meridians."

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.

Li Gu was gambling; digging the tunnel by himself was simply too slow. As the tunnel grew deeper and longer, it took a lot of time to haul the soil out each time.

If someone helps you, one digging the hole and the other carrying the soil, the speed can be increased significantly.

So he decided to take a gamble on Senior Brother Zheng!

Li Gu said in a low voice, "I hope you can promise me that after your meridians are healed, you won't kill Second Senior Brother! Please remain calm and rational, continue to pretend to be paralyzed in front of others, and cooperate with me to complete an even more important task."

Senior Brother Zheng's eyes widened immediately, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Li Gu quickly said, "There's something wrong with Hidden Flower Valley. This Flower Valley is a huge prison. I think all the senior brothers and sisters who graduated didn't make it down the mountain, but died at Hua Qianfang's hands on the way down. Of course, I have no evidence, this is just my guess, and I can't guess why Hua Qianfang would do this."

Senior Brother Zheng's eyes widened even more!

The second senior brother next to him also heard Li Gu's words, and his eyes widened as well, filled with surprise and doubt.

"I can't offer any further explanation right now," Li Gu said in a deep voice. "I can only tell you that I leave the hut every night to prepare for my escape, but I'm progressing too slowly on my own, and I'm completely clueless about the outside world. I need someone to help me. You and I are both 'paralyzed disciples,' and you are the most suitable person to join forces with me, which is why I'm telling you this."

Quiet……

The eerie silence lasted for about three seconds. Then, as if he had made up his mind, Senior Brother Zheng slowly blinked twice.

Li Gu took out a ginseng and put it into Zheng's mouth.

When Wu Wangshu was making up stories, he said that this thing was "eaten raw," which saved Li Gu a lot of trouble. If Wu Wangshu had said that it needed to be "boiled" or "refined" when he made up the story, then Li Gu would have been in a real predicament.

The ginseng turned into a blue light the moment it entered my mouth.

The light quickly filled Zheng's entire body, making every inch of his skin glow with blue phosphorescence. He could clearly feel that the sensation in various parts of his body was slowly returning. He could now clearly feel his heartbeat, pulse, and breathing, which he hadn't felt for many years.

Senior Brother Zheng slowly raised one hand and pinched his face.

Immediately, a look of relief and joy spread across his face.

The next instant, he sat bolt upright.

People who are bedridden for a long time will experience bone deformities and muscle atrophy, but Wu Wangshu, in his nonsensical tales, fabricated the miraculous effect of "limb regeneration" for this ginseng. If even severed limbs can regenerate, then bones and muscles can naturally be repaired as well.

Therefore, not only did Brother Zheng's meridians recover, but the muscle and bone problems caused by his long-term bed rest were also repaired by ginseng. In an instant, he recovered to the state he was in when he collapsed a few years ago. Even his cultivation level recovered to the perfect level 5 of Qi Refining. He only needs to break through the bottleneck of the Guanyuan acupoint to reach the level 6 of Qi Refining.

Senior Brother Zheng jumped off the bed, shook his hands and feet, and bowed deeply to Li Gu: "The kindness of your life-saving grace is beyond words. I, Zheng Xiaodong, hereby swear that from now on I will follow Junior Brother Li's lead."

Li Gu was waiting for a notification sound in his mind. If he heard it, he would immediately launch a sneak attack and kill Senior Brother Zheng without hesitation. But no sound came from his mind; the [Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook] was now completely silent.

Great, you made the right bet!

Li Gu reached out and helped Senior Brother Zheng up: "From now on, we will help each other. The first thing we need to do is escape from Flower Valley."

Senior Brother Zheng said in a low voice, "Before the first thing, I'd like to add one more thing..."

After saying that, he turned around abruptly and slapped his second senior brother across the face. Then, he slapped him four more times before stopping. He then mimicked his senior brother's tone and said, "I can't hit you anymore, or the handprints on your face won't have time to fade by tomorrow morning. Let's hit you again tomorrow night."

The second senior brother was so angry that his eyes almost popped out!

Li Gu smiled and gently patted Senior Brother Zheng's shoulder: "Well done."
