My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Qi Yu was speechless. Why was he being so blunt? Couldn't they just have some fun?

"Just keep practicing, you won't die!"

Qi Yu waved his hand, preparing to leave Qingxuan Valley.

But at that moment, a woman in a white dress walked along the mountain path in the distance.

"Daoist Master, please wait a moment!"

Qi Yu turned his head and looked at the woman; she seemed somewhat familiar.

Glancing at Liu Qing's expression, Qi Yu remembered that this was the senior sister Mo that the kid had been longing for.

"Dao Venerable, this is what the Valley Master asked me to give you!"

Qi Yu took the bamboo slip from Mo Yuan, raised an eyebrow, and looked somewhat surprised.

The bamboo slip was inscribed with the three characters 'Reincarnation Sutra,' which clearly indicated that this was the Reincarnation Sutra, the purpose of his trip!

"What does Valley Master Liu mean by this?" Qi Yu asked, frowning.

"The Valley Master said that if we are to thank someone, we should thank Su Yue. That's what she instructed!" Mo Yuan said with a smile.

Qi Yu held the bamboo slip, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Sure enough, his wife was the most reliable!

He reached into his sleeve and took out a rubbing of the "Treatise on Marrow Cleansing" from the subspace. In addition, there were two other strange arts.

"This is what I agreed upon with Valley Master Liu. Please pass it on to Valley Master Liu!"

Mo Yuan accepted it, then bowed to Qi Yu and turned to leave.

Even after Mo Yuan left, Liu Qing's gaze remained fixed on her.

Seeing this, Qi Yu sighed, patted Liu Qing on the shoulder, and turned to leave Qingxuan Valley.

He's in unrequited love!

Just like Su Yun, they're both simps!

……

Back in the courtyard, Qi Yu handed the bamboo slips to Qi Ran and told him to study them on his own.

He had already read the bamboo slips, and he had to admit that this "Reincarnation Sutra" was truly remarkable.

It is in no way inferior to the "Treatise on Marrow Washing," and may even be more sophisticated.

Because this is a technique that can temper the soul, and the soul is the foundation. This "Marrow Cleansing Treatise" is for tempering the soul.

Qi Yu glanced at it once and understood.

Therefore, Liu Heguang's demands for the "Treatise on Marrow Cleansing" and "One Mind, One Thousand Uses" were not unreasonable; the "Reincarnation Sutra" is truly worth the price.

In the evening, Qi Yu ate the food prepared by Qi Ran and was eating pears under the eaves to cleanse his stomach and calm his nerves when suddenly, the substitute talisman he had left in the academy was activated.

This is a strange technique that Qi Yu obtained from a sect called the Holy Puppet Sect, which allows him to manipulate puppets from a distance.

The substitute talisman is also a type of puppet, except that the puppet has become a paper doll.

Qi Yu put down the pear, shook his head with a wry smile.

Ouyang Ruoxue has emerged from seclusion!

He left a substitute talisman at the place where Ouyang Ruoxue was in seclusion. Now it has been activated and contact has been lost, so there is only one explanation.

Ouyang Ruoxue has emerged from seclusion and destroyed the substitute talisman.

Qi Yu looked up at the stars in the sky. In the west, a star slowly rose and then shone with endless starlight.

In Taoist legends, each star corresponds to a person, and the star that corresponds to a person is called the Destiny Star.

This is the principle behind astrologering and fortune telling; it means that Ouyang Ruoxue's destiny star has already risen.

Qi Yu has no destiny star in this starry sky, because he is not a person of this world.

The destiny star belonging to 'Qi Yu' has already fallen, making him an anomaly outside the rules.

Ouyang Ruoxue has successfully broken through to the next realm, adding another Quasi-Saint.

Including myself, there are now five near-saints.

Su Yun should be close too; the continent is beginning to evolve towards a higher level.

All of this was pioneered by the teacher!

I've done what I was supposed to do; the rest is up to the next generation.

Qi Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a crack suddenly appeared in his pupils, and cracks also began to appear on his body.

At the same time, ripples like water spread out in the space beside Qi Yu, and then a woman in a white dress walked out from them.

"I've come to take your life as agreed!" Ouyang Ruoxue looked at Qi Yu, whose body was covered in cracks, with a complicated expression.

This man destroyed her home and killed her mentor; it could be said that Qi Yu was her mortal enemy.

But it was also this man who gave her a home, allowing her to stay at the academy. At the same time, he taught her everything he knew, enabling her to break through to the level of a near-sage.

Qi Yu looked at Ouyang Ruoxue, sized her up and down, and nodded.

It's not bad. Although it's not as powerful as I am, it's still a near-saint level.

"I will keep my promise, but I cannot give you my life right now!"

Ouyang Ruoxue raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want to back out?"

In fact, Ouyang Ruoxue really wanted Qi Yu to change his mind, so that she could convince herself not to take action against him.

If Qi Yu didn't explain anything and just stood there letting her kill him, she wouldn't know how to do it.

Qi Yu shook his head and laughed, "I keep my word, but I have some things to do right now. Seven days! I need seven days. After seven days, Qi Yu will await his execution without resistance!"

His body's limit was seven days; he had overestimated himself.

Originally, it could have lasted about a month, but as time went on, the rate at which my body deteriorated was like a snowball rolling downhill, much faster than expected.

Ouyang Ruoxue pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you seven days. But during these seven days, I'll stay by your side every step of the way to prevent you from escaping!"

Qi Yu shook his head with a wry smile, offering no objection.

Let her follow me. I'll be here most of the time anyway, so her presence won't make much difference.

……

Ouyang Ruoxue moved into the house next to the courtyard. The original owner of the house was an old woman, but after she died, the house was abandoned, and her son moved to Jiangzhou City with his wife.

Ouyang Ruoxue used the power of her domain to clean up in no time.

Qi Yu could only express his envy. Domains could be used at will, unlike himself, who would shorten his lifespan every time he used a domain.

Within this realm, I am the master; everything is a matter of a single thought.

Qi Yu's domain, which combines true energy, talent, and righteousness, can be eliminated.

However, this elimination also includes one's own territory, so it's somewhat absurd.

If one can eliminate other domains while retaining one's own, then one is essentially invincible.

The difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Dao-Merging being lies in their domain. Without their domain, a Quasi-Saint is only slightly stronger than a Dao-Merging being, and can be killed by sheer numbers.

Qi Yu himself had an idea, but his current physical condition did not allow him to frequently use the domain for experiments.

……

Ouyang Ruoxue and Qi Yu became neighbors. During the day, she would come over and sit at the stone table in the courtyard, watching Qi Yu train Qi Ran.

Every night, Ouyang Ruoxue would return next door and release her domain to surround Qi Yu's entire courtyard, as if she really was afraid that Qi Yu would escape.

Time flew by, and on the sixth day, a group of people arrived at the courtyard.

These people came from Hanqiu City, from the Prime Minister's residence!

Zheng Wenhao has already sent someone to pick up Qi Ran and take her back!

Before leaving, Qi Yu handed a purple jade pendant to Qi Ran.

This jade was given to him by the sect leader; it is a token of the sect leader's legacy.

Qi Yu did not take on any disciples; the only person he ever taught was Qi Ran.

If Taoism truly needs a legitimate successor, then Qi Ran is a suitable candidate.

Qin Xiu is the leader, but he is not from their lineage.

The master only accepted two disciples, one of whom was his father-in-law, but it seems that he will not be able to openly return to Taoism.

The other is his teacher, who only has him as his disciple, so the lineage of theirs falls on him.

Qi Ran is the successor who will take over his lineage.

As for whether Qi Ran will become the leader in the future, and whether Qin Xiu is willing to pass the position to Qi Ran, Qi Yu doesn't care much.

As long as Taoism continues, it doesn't matter who becomes its leader.

Please take one day off.

My childhood friend got married, and I drank too much. I need to take a day off. I'll see if I can make it up tomorrow!

Chapter 141 The Last Time

After seeing Qi Ran off, Qi Yu and Ouyang Ruoxue walked out of the courtyard.

"Where are we going?" Ouyang Ruoxue asked.

Qi Yu looked south and calmly said, "Let's go to Qingxin Lake!"

He has already handed over most of his sacred relics and magical arts to Mo Wen.

Mo Wen will replace him and establish the Taiyin Academy.

Everything that needed to be dealt with has been taken care of. If his health hadn't deteriorated so much, he would have actually wanted to go to the Endless Sea.

Lin Ruoxi has always been a hidden danger, but I can't solve it myself, so I can only leave it to future generations.
