My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Mu Fengchun raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Yu put down his wine cup, looked at Mu Fengchun again, and asked, "Senior said that I should repay this favor. Please feel free to say so, and I will definitely not refuse!"

Mu Fengchun toyed with his wine cup and said, "I want your Taoist magic technique, 'Slaying the Three Corpses'!"

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. He had considered that Mu Fengchun might propose other difficult conditions, but he hadn't expected Mu Fengchun to ask for "Slaying the Three Corpses".

Seeing that Qi Yu did not answer immediately, Mu Fengchun smiled and said, "What? Reluctant to part with it?"

Qi Yu shook his head and said seriously, "The Three Corpses Severing Technique is a Taoist esoteric art, and it is even listed as a forbidden art, prohibiting disciples from practicing it. This is not something I can decide."

Everything else is fine, but the "Slaying the Three Corpses" is a matter of the foundation of Taoism. Qi Yu cannot give the "Slaying the Three Corpses" to Mu Fengchun because of his personal grudges.

"What if I insist on 'Slaying the Three Corpses'?" Mu Fengchun's smile remained unchanged, but his tone became somewhat indifferent.

Su Chengying looked over, and Xu Shuqin and Su Yue also came out from the inner room, their true energy locked onto Mu Fengchun.

Being grateful is one thing, but using gratitude to coerce someone is another.

Mu Fengchun paid no attention to Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin's first place, but continued to look at Qi Yu, waiting for Qi Yu's answer.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yu asked, "Senior, can you tell me why you want the 'Severing the Three Corpses' technique?"

The "Slaying the Three Corpses" technique requires Taoist cultivation methods as a foundation for practice. Su Yun was able to successfully learn it thanks to the instruction he received from Su Chengying and the guidance he received from the sect leader during his time at the Changsheng Temple.

However, Mu Fengchun did not have any Taoist cultivation methods to protect him. Even if he knew the cultivation method of "Slaying the Three Corpses", he might not be able to cultivate it successfully!

After thinking for a moment, Mu Fengchun asked, "Do you know about the 'Killing Reincarnation Technique'?"

Qi Yu shook his head. He had never heard of this cultivation technique, and he didn't know much about the cultivation techniques of other forces either.

Su Chengying knew that among those present, only Qi Yu, a martial artist who had only recently entered the profession, was unaware of the "Killing Reincarnation Technique".

That's the inherited cultivation technique from the First Floor; very few people can successfully cultivate it.

That's a technique that grows through killing, accumulating the purest killing intent.

"Are you going to use the Corpse God from 'Slaying the Three Corpses' to make up for the shortcomings of 'Killing Reincarnation'?" Su Chengying asked, frowning.

The corpse spirit created by "Slaying the Three Corpses" can merge with its master. Even if it suffers a fatal injury, as long as the corpse spirit does not die, all the injuries can be transferred to the corpse spirit.

The "Killing Reincarnation Technique" relies on killing to increase one's strength, killing humans, demons, ghosts, and ultimately killing oneself.

The "Killing Reincarnation Technique" is a life-consuming cultivation method; those who practice it are basically destined for short lives.

However, if one merges with the Corpse God, then the Corpse God can repair the damage to the corpse, and the short lifespan will no longer exist.

Mu Fengchun did indeed think so, so he nodded generously.

"Is it for Qi Lin?" Su Chengying asked.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. What did he mean by giving it to Qi Lin?

Is this "Slaying the Three Corpses" for Qi Lin?

So what is the relationship between Senior Mu and Big Brother?

Noticing Qi Yu's surprise, Mu Fengchun smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Mu Fengchun, the master of the First Pavilion, and also the master of your elder brother Qi Lin!"

Qi Yu was stunned, his mind racing, the scene of his encounter with Mu Fengchun flashing before his eyes.

Let me explain why a stranger would give me a letter of recommendation and medical books, offering to treat my illness for free.

"The county magistrate, Liu Ziqing, is..." Qi Yu began tentatively.

Liu Ziqing was the magistrate of Jiangzhou City and Qi Yu's former superior.

“He is the head of one of my branch halls in the First Floor!” Mu Fengchun said.

All the questions I had before have now been answered.

He then explained why, despite having no relation to the county magistrate, his name was mentioned at the banquet.

Then that wealthy businessman went crazy and started throwing his daughters at him, wanting him to become his live-in son-in-law. So that's how it was.

The county magistrate had always taken good care of him, which he couldn't understand before, but now it seemed that Mu Fengchun had instructed him to do so.

Qi Yu even suspected that the county magistrate was someone Mu Fengchun had arranged to protect him here.

It seems that Mu Fengchun's kindness to him was not just a little bit!

Moreover, he saved his elder brother, and he has done a great favor for himself, Su Yue, and the Qi family.

But the "Slaying the Three Corpses" technique is ultimately an evil art, and Su Yun is now a living example of what not to do.

"Are you going to let my older brother cultivate?" Qi Yu asked.

Mu Fengchun nodded, and then explained the cultivation technique Qi Lin practiced, the "Killing Reincarnation Technique".

Qi Lin is definitely not going to live past thirty. He is already twenty-eight.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will die in less than two years.

Qi Yu fell silent after listening.

After a long pause, Qi Yu sighed and said, "Senior, the corpse god created by the 'Slaying the Three Corpses' technique can indeed heal the body, restore injuries, and prolong life."

"But this Corpse God is ultimately formed from its own evil thoughts. It will develop an independent consciousness and will also affect the consciousness of its master."

"Moreover, the Corpse God cannot be killed. After the master dies, the Corpse God will become a dragon that enters the sea and one day it will bring disaster to the region."

"Whether for the sake of my elder brother or for the sake of future generations, I cannot hand over 'Slaying the Three Corpses' to you!"

Mu Fengchun understood Qi Yu's determination, but this was now the only way to save Qi Lin.

Just as I was about to say something, Qi Yu spoke first.

"The Southern Beast God possesses a corpse god that was slain by the seventh leader of my Taoist sect. I think it would be very suitable for you, elder brother!"

Mu Fengchun raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued.

Chapter 100 Considering

The meal ended abruptly because of Mu Fengchun's arrival.

Mu Fengchun and Su Chengying admired each other because, in a sense, they were quite similar, except that Su Chengying was more idealistic and Mu Fengchun was more realistic.

Then, somehow, these two started talking and eventually decided to go outside and have a one-on-one fight.

Qi Yu was too lazy to follow along; after all, he couldn't kill anyone.

After finishing his meal, Qi Yu sat down under the eaves and looked at the sparse stars in the sky.

Listening to the child's crying gradually subside inside the house, my mood seemed to calm down as well.

With Xu Shuqin around, I don't have to worry about taking care of the children.

Soon the child's crying gradually stopped and turned into calm breathing, clearly indicating that he had fallen asleep.

The two children usually sleep after eating, and if Su Yue isn't around when they wake up, they cry, and Xu Shuqin's attempts to hold them are ineffective.

As darkness fell completely, all that could be seen in the entire Jiangting Village was his own courtyard, illuminated only by the flickering firelight, making it appear isolated and desolate.

At this time of year, you could often hear the cries of children in the village.

But this silence now filled Qi Yu with melancholy and deep emotion.

In the end, things have changed and people are no longer the same!

While Qi Yu was feeling melancholy, Su Yue came out of the house, straightening her clothes as she walked. Seeing Qi Yu lost in thought, she paused for a moment before sitting down next to him.

"Wife, how about we hire a wet nurse? Are you sure you can take care of two children by yourself?" Qi Yu's tone was slightly tender.

With Xu Shuqin around, she can help take care of Su Yue, but Xu Shuqin can't always be there.

Su Yue shook her head resolutely and said, "No, my child, I'll raise it myself."

Qi Yu sighed helplessly, knowing that Su Yue wouldn't listen to him.

"Then you should at least bring a maid with you, right? If your mother-in-law isn't here, she can help you take care of the child! You try to do everything yourself, can you manage?"

If one child wakes up, the other will wake up too, and if they both cry, Su Yue simply can't handle it all.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yue said, "Xiao Ling is married now, and I wouldn't feel comfortable finding just any maid for her, so let's leave it at that for now."

Xiaoling was Su Yue's personal maid, and Qi Yu had met her when he went to Tongyun City.

Logically speaking, when Su Yue married into the family, Xiao Ling should have come as a maidservant with her.

However, due to various reasons at the time, Su Yue did not bring her along, and the matter was put on hold thereafter.

I never expected she would get married!

As for hiring more maids, Su Yue basically doesn't trust outsiders much after the incident with Lin Ruoxi.

At that time, Lin Ruoxi's corpse god was disguised as a midwife and then snatched the child.

Once bitten, twice shy; Su Yue was afraid, so she took a hands-on approach to everything related to her child.

"Where's Zhen Qing? Why don't we ask her to come and help you?" Qi Yu said.

Zhen Qing and Su Yue grew up together. If it were Zhen Qing, Su Yue would probably trust her quickly.

Mentioning Zhen Qing, Su Yue shook her head helplessly and said, "She and Han Xiaotian went on a mission and won't be back for the time being!"

Qi Yu was completely speechless. Zhen Qing's medical skills were excellent, and he could feel at ease having her by Su Yue's and the child's side.

But if you're already on a mission, there's nothing you can do about it.

Su Yue is currently preparing a very big plan. Qi Yu doesn't know the specifics, but the entire Demonic Sect has been dispatched, leaving less than a hundred people to guard the Blood God Island.

Su Yue turned her head, saw Qi Yu's expression, smiled, and leaned slightly against Qi Yu's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I can manage. I'm not as busy as you!"

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. Although Su Yue's words were meant to comfort him, they also seemed to be a complaint against him at the same time!

"My lady, how about you send me two advisors who can handle important political matters?" Qi Yu said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Su Yue smiled and said, "Sure! But are you sure you want it?"

The main reason Su Yue is able to handle the situation and delegate most tasks to others is her competence.

She was able to suppress all dissent, so no one dared to oppose her.
