Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

Boom—

The rain poured down.

The ginkgo trees swayed in the courtyard. Having finally survived the summer heat and ushered in the end of the dog days, this final downpour also foreshadowed the arrival of autumn in Jingnan City.

He curled up in the blankets and slept soundly.

Today has yielded some results; we've made initial progress in getting close to Cuiying. The next step is to find out who's behind her. But for some reason, even though he didn't do any physical labor today, just drank some tea at Zuichunlou and watched the girls listen to music for a while, he still feels a bit drowsy.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, breathing heavily. His clothes were soaked with sweat. His consciousness was hazy. He dreamed of many things. Events from his past life flashed through his mind, and countless fragments of images scattered all over the floor.

But just then, in his half-awake state, he seemed to hear a crisp sound.

Ring ring—

Open your eyes suddenly!

It wasn't Lu Cheng, but Han Guang, who was sleeping in the next room.

The sound was ethereal; despite the torrential rain outside, this subtle sound somehow managed to penetrate his ears and resonate in his mind.

The ringing carried a faint, almost imperceptible pull, like a rope being slowly pulled around one's neck. This made Lu Cheng unable to even feel what was happening. He simply stood up in a daze, his five senses completely stripped away. The power in his lower abdomen gradually gained strength, and he simply followed the ringing in his mind to slowly stand up and walk slowly towards the door.

"Lu Cheng!"

They broke down the door and entered.

This is the first time Han Guang has shown an emotion called "panic". Today's heavy rain did not fall from the sky, but was a Taoist technique, a top-level Taoist technique that is truly capable of changing the celestial phenomena!

Seeing that Lu Cheng had already stood up, Han Guang immediately reached out to try to stop him, lightly tapping her forehead with her fingertips to try to break the spell, but Lu Cheng's amazing strength actually threw her directly aside.

"you……"

Even Han Guang himself was stunned.

Push the door open forcefully.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the torrential rain relentlessly lashed at the boy's body. Barefoot, he stepped onto the bluestone slabs, one step, two steps... He could feel the alluring bell ringing in his mind getting closer and closer, more and more frequent. He could feel it.

The bell was waiting for him outside in the courtyard.

The feeling was like coming home, with your mother gently asking what happened today, or your father asking with a stern expression what you learned from your martial arts practice, or even your wife sitting in the shop, shyly handing you a towel after seeing how hard you've worked, and saying "You've worked hard."

These are memories that don't belong to him, yet they can make one immerse oneself in them.

As he sank deeper and deeper, his hand pulled the courtyard gate open completely, and the boy finally stepped onto the muddy ground.

"Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng, come back, come back!"

This was the first time Han Guang shouted until her voice cracked. She was no longer the same as before, having lost most of her abilities due to her injuries. She was not lying about this; she was indeed a fairy in distress.

She immediately walked towards the door to try to drag Lu Cheng back, but she didn't expect that she would step out of the room herself.

Chi-

He took three steps back in a panic.

A burnt, pungent smell of roasted meat wafted from her body. The intense corrosiveness immediately deterred Han Guang. But what bothered her even more than the physical pain was the stinging pain in her soul.

"Demon Immortal, how come there's another demon immortal eyeing this godforsaken place? Could it be that dog?"

She couldn't help but curse inwardly. The dog she was talking about was the other person who had recently been fighting each other in the sky.

Clenching her fists, she knew that even in her prime, she might not be able to defeat her opponent, let alone now that she was in this state. As she watched Lu Cheng walk further and further away through the mud, she paced anxiously, trying to call out to her subordinates using a secret technique, but all her voices went unanswered, as if completely buried by the heavy rain.

"What other options are there, Ji Xiaoxiao? Yes, and that bitch too. But... but how do we contact her? She should still be in seclusion recovering from her injuries..."

Three attempts were made to step into the rain, and each time they were driven back. Clearly, the other party knew that there were experts in Jingnan City, and that's why they used this secret method to restrict and obscure everyone's senses.

With a gritted tooth, Han Guang could only force out a wisp of essence blood. She quickly jumped onto the roof beam of her house, where there was a talisman she used to ward off evil spirits and suppress evil. She spat on it and the patterns on it disappeared. Finally, with trembling hands, she quickly drew a talisman with her fingertips and essence blood.

She felt dizzy and lightheaded in just a few seconds. The act of expending her vital energy undoubtedly made things worse for Han Guang, whose health was already not good. But she still let out a low shout.

"Freeze!"

Give it a hard flick!

The talisman seemed to have eyes, passing through the rain and sticking firmly to the boy's back. However, Lu Cheng had already gone far away, completely immersed in his own world, his mind filled with those beautiful and fragile memories.

What seems like ordinary family matters is what they yearn for but cannot obtain.

pat-

I stomped my feet hard on the puddles, my legs covered in mud. The rain had a strong blocking effect, somewhat like a signal jammer.

Experts within the city have already noticed that something is amiss with this heavy rain. Ordinary people only feel that the rain is heavy and somewhat chilly, but for cultivators, this heavy rain is clearly very strange.

His body continued to move forward uncontrollably, and the images in his mind flashed faster. After the last image, Lu Cheng's empty eyes gradually regained their clarity, and all five senses returned in an instant.

I stood there, stunned, in the rain.

How is he?

"Your physical constitution is good, your spiritual root is average, but your cultivation level is too low. What do you think?"

Her voice was very obsequious.

The Taoist priest in green stood in the rain, his hands behind his back, while the other man spoke in a low voice, a ghostly green lantern hanging from his waist, and five triangular flags of green, red, white, black, and yellow on his back. He looked like someone who specialized in this kind of soul-stealing work.

"You're greedy. Take it; it's a reward from the master. I wonder why the master specifically asked for him. Could it be that he's been tainted by demonic possession but hasn't been assimilated?"

With a casual toss, an extremely refined force shot out from his fingertips, instantly clearing Lu Cheng's dazed eyes, because in that instant, his spiritual root lit up.

This is "evil spirit".

The wisp of demonic filth that flicked from his fingertip disappeared in mid-air and was directly absorbed by Lu Cheng. The pure power made his spiritual root flicker a little more. To be honest, he even wondered if he was still dreaming. But then many fragmented thoughts flashed through his mind.

It was Han Guang watching him walk out of his house, shouting repeatedly to dissuade him. The talisman on his back was still emitting light. At this moment, he finally understood what situation he was in.

But the two men who were negotiating the deal in the pouring rain were stunned and turned to look at Lu Cheng with astonished expressions.

"you……"

bang——

A punch delivered at extremely close range, without any fancy moves.

His entire jaw was dislocated and completely out of place. His muscle memory was instantly triggered, and he pulled out the summoning flag from the man's back and stabbed it into his throat with his other hand!
