Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

(Chapter 110 mentions that practitioners have longer lifespans and longer youth. But in essence, this is to slow down the rate of aging, thus maintaining a state of youth and vigor for a longer period of time.

Therefore, the appearance of most practitioners will remain at the time when they enter the Nascent Soul stage.

People like Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er reach the Nascent Soul stage at around 20 years old, so they can maintain the appearance of a girl; ordinary geniuses may be 30 or 40 years old, but that is equivalent to the 3 or 2 years old of ordinary people, so they look like royal sisters; and those who reach the Nascent Soul stage at 8 or 90 years old look like middle-aged or young people.

Some spells can make one's appearance younger, but they only change it to the current age range. You can't suddenly turn a 20-year-old into a 10-year-old. So when you see a Yuanying/Huan Shen who looks like a child, you can basically tell it's a Blood Kite immediately.)

3. The power stacking multiplier of the sword-cultivation technique is not constant. When Bai Yuan is in the foundation-building/golden elixir stage, Chi Xiao can stack it up to 130 times; then when it comes to the Nascent Soul/God Transformation stage, it is impossible to stack it up to 130 times, because God Transformation will make the player invincible if it is stacked up to 130 times.

However, a reduction in the multiplier means a shorter cooldown period, which simply means the upper limit remains constant.

As a Big Lucky Bag item, the Sword Cultivation Technique's upper limit is the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Therefore, if Bai Yuan reaches the Spiritual Transformation Realm and uses it again, it may not be able to stack multiples. However, if Bai Yuan can develop and upgrade the Sword Cultivation Technique, then he can continue to use it.

P.S. I'm writing the next chapter now. I've been busy revising the text all day. It's giving me a headache.

Chapter 114 You said... Who is not dead?! (Reward for additional 7-8 chapters)

When Ji Tingxue said "tired of playing," she probably meant the games they played with the kids in town yesterday afternoon, plus the fight she had with Yu Qiuming on Hidden Moon Mountain earlier in the day.

Of course, the amount of exercise involved in those children's games wouldn't even be considered a warm-up for a Jindan cultivator. It's just like climbing a few stairs for an ordinary person.

but……

When Bai Yuan heard this, who had something on his mind, it was inevitable that it would be a bit ambiguous.

last night……

Well, it’s really tiring.

After all, Ye Shuang'er's current cultivation level is close to the Nascent Soul stage, and she also has "innate Gu patterns" on her body. In order to help her eliminate the side effects of the Gu poison conflict, Bai Yuan worked hard until late at night.

Although Bai Yuan's current body has undergone two transformations and is no longer the same sickly appearance as when he first traveled through time, his right hand and shoulder still feel a little sore at this moment. He probably thinks it is the sequelae of using internal energy to help Ye Shuang'er clear the poison.

opposite.

Ji Tingxue continued, "So, let's set off tomorrow. I want to go to this town and see some scenery I've never seen before. Bai Yuan, do you want to come with us? Or should we wait for Shuang'er?"

"I was just about to tell you about this..."

Bai Yuan coughed lightly and spoke in a calm tone, "Shuang'er absorbed too much poisonous smoke yesterday, which has exceeded the limit of her 'Innate Gu Pattern'. She may need another day or two to digest and absorb it. Therefore, we may have to stay in this town for two more days."

"You shouldn't mind listening to the snow, right?"

"As for going out for a walk... today is probably not a market day, so it might not be as lively outside as yesterday. But if you want, Tingxue, I can certainly accompany you."

Bai Yuan mainly wanted to go out and buy some clothes.

After all, the clothes she and Ye Shuang'er had worn were torn last night, and the ones she had drawn from the big and small lucky bags had all been destroyed by Qing Lingzi. Before she could draw or obtain robes that could be worn as outerwear, she had to get a few spare sets first.

Although the quality of fabrics from the secular world may not be as good as those of the robes, it is a good idea to buy a few more sets as backup.

"Yeah, that's great."

Ji Tingxue smiled faintly.

After a brief discussion, Ji Tingxue stayed in the corridor and waited.

Bai Yuan returned to the room, tidied himself up casually, put on his outer robe, and then left the inn with her and wandered around the streets of the town outside.

……

Just as Bai Yuan judged, today was indeed not a market day, and there were far fewer pedestrians in the town than yesterday.

However, as a market town of some size, there are still some shops selling daily necessities.

As Bai Yuan handed over a few gold leaves, the shopkeeper immediately became enthusiastic and welcomed her and Ji Tingxue into the store. Then he took out his treasured fabrics and solemnly introduced the artistic elements in them to them.

"Is your fabric... really as good as you say?"

"Of course. The artistic value of this cloth is at least as high as two or three stories. If it weren't for a distinguished guest, I wouldn't be willing to take it out."

The shopkeeper smiled somewhat flatteringly.

After all, from his point of view, at such a young age, he can speak so clearly, and has such a unique temperament and is generous... He must be rich or noble, or even the offspring of a royal family. He must definitely be treated with caution.

If he could make the other person happy, and a little something slipped out from between his fingers, it would be enough for him to eat for the rest of his life.

——As for Ji Tingxue, she was understood as "the personal maid of the young lady of the palace."

Ji Tingxue had no opinion on this and just smiled it off.

Bai Yuan was a little speechless, but he didn't try to explain.

It is worth mentioning that.

When Bai Yuan asked to buy ready-made clothes, the shopkeeper enthusiastically took out a pile of clothes for her to try on, but Bai Yuan refused. She just tried them on herself and estimated that the size was about the same, then nodded in agreement.

—Just kidding, her body wasn't presentable right now. She even had a scarf wrapped around her neck to hide the bite marks. If she tried on clothes in this state, she'd be exposed in a matter of minutes.

By then, Ji Tingxue would be fine, after all, she knew the inside story. She just didn't know what happened between her and Ye Shuang'er last night.

Maybe the shopkeeper would think that she was being abused by some perverted loli or control freak, and then report it to the authorities... Even if Bai Yuan and her group could leave directly, it was hard to say what would happen next.

"Speaking of which...how much fluctuation value do I have now?"

Bai Yuan suddenly thought of this.

This time, the little waste reacted quickly:

Current Fluctuation Value: 4900

Even though it had only been a few days since Bai Yuan drew the last super-large lucky bag, the fluctuation value he had accumulated now was unexpectedly high.

Of these 4900, I'm afraid only 2500 came from the ridiculous night she and Ye Shuang'er spent in the room last night.

Bai Yuan even started to wonder whether she should come here with Ye Shuang'er a few more times. Maybe she could get a huge lucky bag in a few days... But that kind of thing was really too tiring. If she came here a few more times, not to mention her, Ye Shuang'er might even die of dehydration.

Besides, she and Ye Shuang'er were master and disciple after all, so an occasional visit could be explained as a need for treatment. If they did it again when both were fully awake...

It's not good after all.

"The information from the Night Sparrow Sect should be able to reach Tianyuan Mountain in a few days. Given Rao'er's personality, she should be able to generate a considerable amount of fluctuations. We can then add our efforts together, and perhaps it will be another huge lucky bag..."

"If this giant lucky bag can come with something good..."

Then, with the points you get later, you might consider allocating them more towards the big lucky bag.

After all, it's generally difficult to accumulate a large Lucky Bag, and Bai Yuan can't come back from the dead a second time. It's a good idea to first get a few large Lucky Bags to enrich your equipment library, and then slowly accumulate another 10000 points.

Next.

Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue began to pick and choose, selecting seven or eight sets of ready-made clothes and ordering a few pieces of cloth, agreeing to come back and pick them up after a while.

Then, the two of them walked back.

When they returned to the inn, Ye Shuang'er seemed to have finished packing the tattered clothes. She reappeared in the corridor and greeted Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue with a slightly guilty look on her face: "Master, Master, and Sister Tingxue, good morning... oh no, it's already afternoon. Good afternoon."

"Hey, Shuang'er, you finally came out. Why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold last night?"

Ji Tingxue asked a little confusedly.

"Yeah, a little bit..."

Ye Shuang'er hesitated.

After all, it's not surprising to catch a cold after sleeping naked all night...

"And Shuang'er, your complexion seems quite pale, and your Qi and blood seem somewhat deficient. And that waist... Could something have gone wrong while you were practicing the 'Guardian Cultivation Technique'? Do you want me to check it out for you?"

This time, before Ji Tingxue could finish, Ye Shuang'er waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'll just ask Master to help me later... Well, I'm going back to continue refining Yu Qiuming's 'Frost Poison'. You don't have to prepare my meal tonight, just eat it."

Having said that, Ye Shuang'er hurriedly opened the door and returned to her room.

Wait until she comes into the house.

Ji Tingxue glanced at the door that had just been closed, then turned to look at Bai Yuan beside her. Her gaze fell on the reddened tips of the master and disciple's ears, and a suspicious expression appeared on her face. But in the end, she didn't say anything.

That night.

Bai Yuan returned to his room to practice the "Qingmu Cangling Jue", while Ji Tingxue went back to comprehend the way of the sword.

The next day, none of them went out again. Ji Tingxue only went out for a walk in the evening, while Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er recovered and practiced on their own.

The bruises and bite marks on Bai Yuan's body weren't a big deal, and they mostly faded after a day. The few that didn't completely disappear were barely noticeable.

By the fourth day, Ye Shuang'er had finally refined Yu Qiuming's poison, condensing the third poison pill into shape and simultaneously producing the fourth. Her cultivation aura had also advanced further, reaching the consummate state of the ninth level of the Golden Core.

Theoretically, Ye Shuang'er is now like a large vat filled with water. The foundation of her cultivation is already too solid. With just a little breakthrough - she doesn't even need any opportunity, just taking some poison, she can immediately be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.

What's lacking...

It's probably practical experience.

This aspect wasn't easy to master quickly. After all, Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue's understanding of "poison" was limited, and they could only provide her with some general guidance. They could spar with each other, but they didn't have the time. Besides, sparring was different from actual combat.

In this regard, Bai Yuan has a new plan -

"Here, Tingxue and Shuang'er, come and take a look at this action plan. Is there anything else you want to add or modify?"

That's right.

In the past few days, Bai Yuan has planned their route for this trip.

The final destination is naturally Cangwu Abyss.

Because three or four days had passed since Bai Yuan informed Yeque Sect of the information about the Cangwu Abyss, Jiang Rao could have received this information at any time. As long as she reached the Nascent Soul stage, the Tianyuan Sword Sect would likely, as Bai Yuan had predicted, arrange a mission to the Cangwu Abyss to search for the Jiang family's legacy.

Therefore, Bai Yuan had to rush over in advance to make some arrangements.

It would be best if it was an arrangement that could prove what he said before: "Parents who love their children will make far-reaching plans for them." This would allow him to squeeze the volatility value out of Jiang Rao.

Well...it doesn't mean Bai Yuan is bad-hearted.

After all, she had already told Jiang Rao the location of the Jiang family inheritance and was prepared to help her obtain the [Dayan Five Elements Wheel] and awaken the "God King Body." Therefore, it was only natural to charge her some interest.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Since Bai Yuan has already told a lie with a far-reaching plan, she can only keep moving forward on the road of covering up the lie. Otherwise, once it is exposed, all her previous efforts will be wasted, and she will be in danger again.

Jiang Rao, who possesses the "Five Elements Divine King Body", has no leverage over him, and is cold-hearted and ruthless, is definitely an opponent a hundred times more terrifying than Qing Lingzi, who is at the Divine Transformation Realm.

Therefore, weighing the two evils, it is better to put the feud with Qingxuan Sect on hold for the time being.

Anyway, the news of the "return of the blood kite" has been known by a few spies. It is better to let the bullet fly for a while. After Qing Lingzi relaxes his vigilance and Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er have condensed their Nascent Souls, it will not be too late to break through the mountain gate of Qingxuanmen.

but……

If you don’t go to Qingxuan, you won’t go to Qingxuan.

But if he could cause some trouble for Qing Lingzi on the way to [Cangwu Abyss], Bai Yuan would naturally not refuse.

"If I remember correctly, these two places should be the bases of the Blood Origin Sect, right?"

"If we attack the Qingxuan Sect's stronghold, there's a chance that innocent people might be harmed. Even if it's revenge, there's no need to involve the middle and lower-level Qingxuan disciples who didn't participate in the 'Blood Kite Hunting Operation'. But these disciples of the demonic sect..."

To say that ten out of ten are unforgivable criminals may be a bit of an exaggeration, but if you kill seven out of ten, there will definitely be some who slip through the net.

Moreover.

As long as Bai Yuan continues to be involved in Jiang Rao's affairs, they'll eventually come into conflict with the Blood Source Sect. Yu Qiuming's cover has only been used a few times and is likely to be ineffective. To avoid potential trouble in the future, clipping their wings in advance is a precautionary measure.

It just so happens that I can give it to Ye Shuang'er to practice with. Killing two birds with one stone.

Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er naturally had no objections to Bai Yuan's plan, and the discussion quickly concluded with three votes in favor.

then.

Later in the day.

Bai Yuan, Ye Shuang'er and Ji Tingxue left the town together and waited for the late-coming White Tiger in the woods outside.

Then, the three of them climbed onto the white tiger's back again and flew all the way towards the first target location in the planned route.

……

Tianyuan Mountain.

In a cave somewhere near the Sword Washing Pool.

The place is surrounded by spiritual energy, like a fairyland.

A female cultivator, dressed in plain white, sat in the spirit pool, surrounded by shadowy figures emanating sword energy. These shadows stirred the water within, causing it to boil. Constant streams of water were swept high into the air, transforming into repeated slashing movements in mid-air, creating a misty vapor that obscured the cultivator's form.

suddenly.
