Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

If this were a Blood Kite in its prime, it wouldn't be a big deal and could be recovered with a little time. But for a White Kite whose spiritual roots were already damaged, it was an unbearable burden.

and so.

After taking only a few steps, Bai Yuan's feet went weak and he fell directly to the ground beside him.

"Master!!"

Ye Shuang'er's voice sounded from behind.

Bai Yuan barely opened his eyelids, took a look at the girl's approaching eager face, then closed his eyes again, his consciousness gradually falling into chaos.

Chapter 19 This account has been cultivated

Cold, shaking.

Bai Yuan was still in a daze when she smelled a faint fragrance entering her nose.

It seemed as if someone was holding her shoulders, carefully supporting her petite body and leaning it against the pillow. Then he blew on a spoonful of hot porridge, waited for the heat to dissipate, and gently brought it to her mouth and fed her.

Wait until you finish a bowl of porridge.

The man cleared the dishes and returned to the bed. He stared at her for a while, then crossed his arms to support his head, lay down beside the bed, rubbed against her arm like a cat, and smiled faintly.

[Volatility +50]

"?"

Bai Yuan's heart moved, but her eyelids were still as heavy as if filled with lead, so she could only fall asleep again.

I don’t know how long passed.

When the tiredness was no longer so obvious, Bai Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and she finally woke up from her deep sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Ye Shuang'er's surprised voice in her ears, as if she had been waiting beside her:

"Master, are you awake?"

"The medicinal soup is ready and is still warm. It's the 'Purple Ganoderma Strengthening Essence Soup' that nourishes your Qi and blood. I'll serve it to you..."

With Ye Shuang'er's support, Bai Yuan sat up, slowly drank the bowl of medicine, and then let out a light breath:

"How long have I slept?"

"A day and a half."

Ye Shuang'er answered quickly.

Bai Yuan paused: "The sect..."

"I've already explained to them that Elder Du Sha, Han Xiao, and the others colluded with the Qingxuan Sect villains to disturb Master's retreat and plot treason. Master has easily killed them, and their remains are now hanging on the silver branch tree outside the hall as a warning to others...Is there nothing wrong with that?"

As Ye Shuang'er said this, an expression of asking for credit and reward appeared on her face, and her big black eyes were as clear as a child's.

Of course……

To be honest, Ye Shuang'er only looked young, like a young girl who had just reached the age of marriage, but she was actually seventeen years old. Moreover, having followed her predecessor for many years, she had learned some tricks, so she could handle basic sect affairs smoothly.

With Du Sha's body placed here, I believe that those villains with ulterior motives in the sect will be able to keep quiet for a while.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Bai Yuan praised her verbally for a few words, then saw from Ye Shuang'er's expectant eyes that she wanted to be touched, and then raised her arm.

The latter immediately put his little head close to her and accepted her touch, his little face slightly red, showing a satisfied expression.

[Volatility +200]

Hmm...it seems that Ye Shuang'er's account has basically been established.

As long as you pat your dog's head and give him a few compliments every day, you can earn a steady amount of points. This way of "raising" him is quite easy.

I just don't know if there will be an upper limit to the "fluctuation value", or if the threshold will gradually decrease as the frequency increases...

Bai Yuan thought about this and asked silently:

(By the way, Xiao Fei... System, can everyone reveal this fluctuation value, or only those who are related to me?)

[Host, you just said "little trash", right? ('???`)]

(Don't worry about the details.)

[…Both are possible, but the magnitude of the fluctuations generated varies from person to person. For example, Ye Shuang'er, due to her close relationship with the host and her exceptionally high luck in this world, can generate a large amount of fluctuations in response to the host's actions. A similar situation also exists with the host's other two disciples. For ordinary people, the fluctuations might be only one-tenth of theirs, or even less.]

(I see…)

Bai Yuan nodded slightly.

The "other two disciples" mentioned by the system were directly filtered out by her.

Those two weren't as easy to fool as Ye Shuang'er, not to mention that one of them was "Qingluo," abandoned by her predecessor years ago and hated Xue Yuan to the core. If possible, Bai Yuan would rather never meet them in her lifetime, so naturally, she wouldn't take the initiative to approach them.

Although the fluctuation value exploded by ordinary people may be a little less, but a mosquito leg is also meat, and it is safer than risking your own life.

"Shuang'er, go get me the list of the Hidden Moon Sect."

"Oh……"

Following Bai Yuan's orders, Ye Shuang'er quickly returned to the secret room with a booklet. As she handed it to her, she whispered with some concern, "Master, you've just recovered from your injuries, so it's best not to overwork yourself. It's best to rest for a while. Leave the sect's affairs to me. If you have any questions, I can discuss them with Elder Zhou and the others..."

Bai Yuan said nothing, just flipping through the list quickly.

"Zhou Ran, joined the sect at the age of thirteen, is now eighty-two years old, has reached the ninth level of Golden Core cultivation, and is the owner of the Medicine Refining Workshop."

"Ding Mulin, joined the sect at the age of twenty-nine, is now one hundred and six years old, a third-grade Nascent Soul, and an inner sect elder..."

"Zhu Liuying, former disciple of the sect master Han Yue, twenty years old, second-grade Jindan, currently serving as an inner sect deacon..."

"..."

In "Asking the Immortal", there is a gameplay of developing a sect.

For players, farming, refining medicine, training disciples, and watching the sect grow and develop little by little in their hands is also a kind of fun.

One advantage of the game is that all the disciples' talents, strengths, and even their loyalty to the sect are clearly marked, making it easy to see who is better and who is worse. However, in reality, there is no such marking, so Bai Yuan can only rely on the remaining memories of his previous life and the impression he made when playing the game in his previous life to roughly divide the people of the Hidden Moon Sect into different levels.

To be honest…

It's a bit difficult.

Because the Hidden Moon Sect itself was a demonic sect. Not all of its disciples, but at least 80% or more, were ruthless and desperate criminals, with varying talents and character. Trying to find a few worth cultivating among them was like panning for gold in a pile of shit.

The predecessor did not have such worries because the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" was powerful enough. No matter how ambitious the rebel was, he could only cower in front of her.

But now...

Bai Yuan looked over and over for a long time before he picked out a few worth looking at from the hundreds of Yin Yue disciples.

"Shuang'er, go and arrange these personnel changes."

"Du Sha is dead, but the Law Enforcement Hall still needs someone to take charge. Let Zhu Liuying do it. She can choose a few disciples as her deputies."

"The vacant inner sect deacon position will be filled by Li Changan. Also, Zhou Jing will be promoted to deacon..."

"Uh-huh."

Ye Shuang'er wrote down Bai Yuan's words one by one, stood up and bowed respectfully, then took her token and went out to do her work.

Wait until the secret room becomes quiet again.

Bai Yuan then rubbed his brows and began to think about his next move.

Chapter 20 "Thousand Faces of the Demonic Spider"

The battle with Du Sha caused considerable damage to Bai Yuan.

The deficiency of qi and blood is secondary.

The main issue was that Du Sha had damaged many of the flying swords and magical instruments left behind by his predecessor, and they would take time to repair. Furthermore, his ultimate trump card, the [Huangquan Order], had already been used once and couldn't be activated again until the next month's Yin Day and Yin Hour. These two factors severely weakened Bai Yuan.

Although in theory, she can still rely on the illusion ability of the [Red Rope Anklet], combined with witchcraft and poison, to kill enemies in the Golden Core Realm.

But it still feels a bit empty.

"I still need to think about how to repair my spiritual roots..."

Bai Yuan thought so.

In this regard, the little waste can't be relied upon.

After all, even if there were items to repair spiritual roots in the system's pool, they probably wouldn't be drawn from a large or small lucky bag. And if it was a "super-large lucky bag" with a fluctuation value of 10000, Bai Yuan would probably have to scratch Ye Shuang'er's head to death to exchange for one or two, and there was a high probability that she wouldn't get what she wanted.

If you don't consider the system.

That would have to be the native method of the world of "Asking the Immortal".

In this regard, the old Liver Emperor once summarized that there are three methods:

One is to use a large amount of natural treasures to nourish the Dantian, allowing it to regenerate a new spiritual root on the destroyed spiritual root.

The advantage of this approach is that it is safe, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive. Because many of the natural treasures are things that ordinary cultivators have never heard of in their entire lives, without the "Red and Green Modifier", it may take three to five years to collect them all.

The second is to dig one off someone else's body and put it on yourself.

Bai Yuan is familiar with this job.

However, the rejection of spiritual roots was much stronger than the [Clarifying Heart Sword Bone] she had originally dug. A successful transplant required a close match between the two individuals' birth charts, fate, and spiritual root attributes. Otherwise, if care was taken, rejection would occur, and the person could even explode and die on the spot.

The third is to reshape the spiritual roots.

A cultivator's spiritual roots are innate, and their development is essentially determined from the moment they are born. So, conversely... if they could walk the path of life and death again and be "born" again, then theoretically, they could develop a new spiritual root.

The specific method is...

"First, you actively destroy your own body and spiritual roots. Then, with the help of special techniques, you reshape your body. From flesh to bone, from mind to soul... artificially simulating the process of reincarnation. As long as you don't die in the process, there's about a 70% chance of successfully regenerating a spiritual root. And the quality of this new spiritual root will most likely be better than the original one."

It sounds pretty good.

The only problem is that the remaining 30% chance is basically equivalent to death.

And

The remodeling process is said to be very painful.

It doesn't matter to the players, because they only need to look at the text and CG. If they fail, they can just use the SL method to roll back and start over.

But for Bai Yuan now...

This is a big gamble.

Seventy percent life, thirty percent death.

The rate of return and the rate of risk were so frighteningly high that she couldn't make up her mind for a moment whether to take this desperate gamble.

"...First, let's get the technique to reshape my body, then we can talk about it."

"In 'Asking the Immortal', there are a total of techniques capable of 'reshaping the body'. The highest-quality one is called 'Blood Essence Heart Meteorite Art', and it spawns in a place called 'Yuankong Secret Realm'. That secret realm seems to have opened during this time period..."

"It seems that two of the medicinal ingredients needed for Ye Shuang'er's [Gu Ling Rong Xue Dan] can also be found there..."

Two things happening at once, it seems I have to go.

Bai Yuan closed his eyes and began to consider the feasibility of going to the "Yuankong Secret Realm".

……

the following few days.

Through her own efforts and Ye Shuang'er's minimal help, Bai Yuan's external injuries were basically healed, and the blood and energy that had been depleted by using the [Yellow Spring Order] was replenished. In addition, she also gradually gained several waves of fluctuations.

[Volatility +10]

[Volatility +15]

[Volatility +300]

[Fluctuation value...]

Of course, the bulk of it came from Ye Shuang'er, and the rest was contributed by the disciples of the Yinyue Sect.

Although it was not as much as she expected, but all the points added up, her total score once again reached 1000+.

"Come on, you little loser, start smoking!"

"As usual, let's draw 100 first to cushion the blow."

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the Divine Travel Talisman (a crystal jade talisman engraved with the Divine Travel rune. Once activated, it can travel a thousand miles in an instant. It can be used continuously until the talisman power is exhausted.)]
