Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"That cultivator kept a large number of insect-like demons in this cave. He even brought some villagers into the cave to feed these insects. He broke their legs to prevent them from escaping. As for the sound, he naturally had a way to make them die without making a sound."

A sudden surge of rage flashed across Zhang Ruoxue's face. She clenched her fists, making a cracking sound.

"That bastard actually used villagers to feed these damned insects..."

No, that's not it.

Suddenly, Fan Luokui's words made Zhang Ruoxue freeze in place.

What do you mean?

How come it isn't anymore?

Fan Luokui gave a wry smile, then glanced at the rib in her hand and shook her head.

Indeed, no.

"Judging from the cut surface of this rib, it is too smooth. If it really was a black worm with a skeletal eye that ate all the villagers, there would be no way that a rib with such a smooth cut would fall out."

"In other words, there are other insects in this cave."

"A type of insect that can bite through a human body, larger and stronger than the gorilla-eyed black worm."

"What truly devoured the villagers was not the ape-eyed black worms. The black swarm of worms probably only ate some severed limbs, which means... they were just eating the leftovers of some giant worm."

The words fell.

In that instant, Zhang Ruoxue and Fan Luokui both felt an indescribable, terrifying gaze fixed upon them.

It was as if it were prey roaming through the jungle, targeted by a hunter's arrow.

Fan Luokui turned around quickly, transforming into a streak of light, and stood in front of Zhang Ruoxue. At the same time, she lowered her center of gravity and gripped the hilt of her knife tightly with her right hand.

—Thump!

A deafening explosion rang out!

Before Zhang Ruoxue could even react to what had happened...

A second roar followed immediately!

—Thump! Thump! Thump!

Faster and faster, heavier and heavier, and—

Getting closer!

Something is rushing towards them!

And the aura of that thing...

Zhang Ruoxue could feel it, and Fan Luokui could feel it too. Because of this, the two of them simultaneously exerted all their strength to circulate their spiritual roots and cultivation techniques.

because……

The owner of that aura had reached the Transformation God stage!

Boom!

-

I think we can dress Xiao Luo Kui in a forensic doctor's uniform sometime in the future.

Absolutely no problem.

27. When you thought this chapter would be about battle...

Maple Leaf City.

The birthplace of the Crimson Leaf Qin, one of the Thirty-Six Wonderful Qin.

Since Emperor Wen appeared in the Tianjue Era, the four arts of qin (a stringed instrument), chess, calligraphy, and painting have become highly sought-after. In some people's eyes, even a first-grade magic weapon is not as precious as a painting.

It can be said that Emperor Wen of Han created an era.

Maple Leaf City, thanks to the Red Leaf Harp, became one of the centers of the entire era.

Every day, countless distinguished cultivators and people of high status come here, drawn by its reputation. The Qin Sect even established a branch in Maple Leaf City, demonstrating how much it values ​​the city.

That being said, the Qin Sect branch in Maple Leaf City generally does not receive ordinary guests.

After all, the interior houses thirty-six exquisite zithers. Throughout history, there have been many who have tried to steal or rob them. If just anyone could freely enter and exit, the Crimson Leaf Zither would probably have been killed long ago.

Therefore, even high-ranking officials and dignitaries cannot enter or leave at will.

However, the two, dressed differently from ordinary people and behaving strangely, walked slowly on the streets of Maple Leaf City toward the Qin Sect not far away.

"I wonder how Ruoxue and Junior Sister Luo Kui are doing. They went back to their village to visit relatives. They should be back soon, right?"

Among them, a tall girl dressed in a strange black and white dress was holding a candied gourd, her eyes wandering among the crystal-clear crimson candies.

She stuck out her tongue and tentatively licked it; as expected, it was quite delicious.

Beside her, a petite girl wearing a red fitted long dress that resembled a cheongsam, with her hair tied in a side ponytail, was also holding a candied gourd in her hand.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she ate the candy with a beaming smile.

"It should be fine~ But speaking of which, I found this candy really delicious, it tastes a bit like the candy that the teacher used to give me!"

"That old rogue's candy?" Ye Yuchan's eye twitched violently as an abnormal scene flashed through her mind. "That guy wouldn't be saying he'd give you some kind of deoxyribonucleic acid, would he?"

Given that perverted old scoundrel's lolicon personality, he's said things like that before!

Didn't I say that to Fang Qingzhu of the Northern Ice Palace last time?

But Lin Yuan blinked and shook her head, "What kind of candy is that? The teacher didn't say to give Yuan'er that kind of candy."

"Really? That old scoundrel is actually so kind? Or did he just happen to forget?"

"Hey, Junior Sister Yu Chan, don't always talk badly about Teacher." Xiao Yuan'er pouted, looking like she wanted to stand up for Yun Ping. "Teacher just says strange things sometimes, but he's very reliable when it matters!"

Ye Yuchan couldn't refute this statement. Indeed, although that old rogue spouted dirty jokes and occasionally flirted with her, he was serious about doing what he was supposed to do and was really reliable.

……

No, no, why did I start praising that pervert?

Ye Yuchan patted her slightly flushed cheeks, forcing herself to calm down, and then said, "Let's not talk about that old rogue for now. By the way, Senior Sister Yuan'er, can we freely enter and leave this Qin Sect?"

Having said that, Ye Yuchan turned her gaze to the magnificent building not far away, which stood tall in the very center of Maple Leaf City, resembling the mansion of a wealthy family.

In terms of area, this branch of the Qin Sect occupies half of the entire Maple Leaf City, and it is located in the central area. Almost anyone can see this magnificent classical-style building from anywhere in Maple Leaf City.

Before the grand and magnificent gate of the Qin Sect, several young men dressed in exceptionally finery, with gold and jade ornaments hanging from their waists, and silver shoes and orchid crowns, stood there with faces full of anger.

"Do you know how precious my status is? I've lowered myself to come to your tiny Maple Leaf City, and now you dare to refuse us entry?"

He pointed at a young man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, dressed in a simple white shirt, his tone arrogant yet tinged with disdain.

The young man in front of him smiled calmly and said patiently, "You are not guests of my Qin Sect. You have neither invitations nor credentials, nor are you Qin players here to test your skills. In other words, you are just idlers. My Qin Sect has important matters to discuss today and does not entertain idlers."

"Who the hell do you think you are, calling me a layabout?!"

No sooner had the young man finished speaking than a burly man standing nearby raised his foot and kicked him hard.

This kick even contained a trace of spiritual energy, showing that it was delivered with great force.

However, the young man neither dodged nor avoided the attack, as if he hadn't seen it, and casually slapped the man's calf with his palm.

The next second, a gust of wind swept in, and the unmatched power directly dispersed the man's spiritual energy, shattering his shinbone and sending him flying.

--boom.

He fell heavily to the ground without uttering a sound, clearly having fainted from the intense pain.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

You should know that the man was the one with the highest cultivation level among them, a Spirit Platform stage cultivator, yet the other party broke his leg with a single slap!

That's not the main point... The key point is that this young man actually dared to make a move!

The young man clapped his hands, a threatening sneer on his face. "I still suggest that you idlers leave quickly. This is the Qin Sect, not a place where just any chicken, cat, or dog can enter!"

The young man's threat clearly had an effect; the young master who had been shouting earlier was now trembling all over, and even his voice was filled with fear.

"You...do you know who I am? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble by acting like this!"

The young man chuckled, ignoring the young master's words, and focused on circulating his cultivation technique, releasing spiritual energy that shook the surroundings.

The moment the cultivator's peak Spirit Platform stage cultivation level was revealed, everyone present was shocked.

Such a cultivator, nearing the Transcendental Stage, is merely a gatekeeper at the Qin Sect?!

The young men immediately lost their temper and ran away.

As he ran, he didn't forget to leave behind a threatening message, "You...you brat, just you wait, one day I'll make you pay the price!!"

The young man didn't answer, but just chuckled, then turned his gaze back, ignoring these self-important young masters.

There are actually quite a few of these people in Maple Leaf City, and some have come specifically from other cities. The Qin Sect does not welcome these idlers.

Ye Yuchan, who had witnessed everything, exchanged a glance with Lin Yuan and then asked, "Senior Sister Yuan'er, are you sure we won't get into a fight with the gatekeepers?"

"No way~" Lin Yuan chuckled, licking her candied gourd as she walked towards the gate of the Qin Sect. "I'm very familiar with the people in the Qin Sect, and the older brothers and sisters there are all very kind to me."

"Especially good means..."

"Hmm, it's a bit hard for me to describe... How about I demonstrate for you~"

After saying that, Lin Yuan skipped and hopped towards the gate of the Qin Sect.

Seeing this, Ye Yuchan quickly followed.

It was only then that she remembered that her junior sister seemed to be a seventh-level qin player? Although Ye Yuchan was not very familiar with the ranks of qin players, seventh level should not be the level of a beginner.

—This is hardly a beginner; a seventh-level genius is already a monster.

Xiao Lin Yuan's unique outfit and cute, petite appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people around her.

Of course, this also includes the young man who injured someone earlier.

His gaze suddenly turned exceptionally cold, like a biting wind sweeping across Lin Yuan's face, while also glancing at Ye Yuchan beside the little girl.

They're dressed strangely; are they from some unusual field?

Their aura was quite ordinary, nothing strange about them, and they seemed to be just a couple of leisurely travelers.
