Chapter 83: The Fiend Cultivatress and The Monk (I)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Li Xiuchen was soliloquizing complaint all the way from Tai Hua Mountain to Yun State.

Because of his Superior Spiritual Bone, Luo Jianqing could hear clearly what Li Xiuchen was mumbling. At first, he was just complaining about all these daunting things that had happened to him, but, gradually and to Luo Jianqing’s surprise, he started to realize something was wrong, “Why is it that nothing went on as planed? I got nothing from Sir Bei Dou’s tomb nor from Wan Shou Peak. The latter is the weirdest. I remember seeing that pill! It was right there, several steps away! How come I blacked out at that perfect timing and woke up at foothill? Not to mention the pill was nowhere to be found.”

To be honest, Luo Jianqing was impressed that Li Xiuchen could realize this. As far as he’s concerned, Li Xiuchen was still an idiot making zero progress for eight years since the first time they met. Now, given that he managed to look back and think, it was already a ‘huge’ step.

Nonetheless, this was all that Li Xiuchen could think about. No matter how hard he tried, this poor guy just couldn’t figure out why.

They arrived at Yun State in the evening.

Xuan Tian Continent contained one mountain, thirty-six states, eight Zone of Risk and sixteen Waste Land.

‘One mountain’, of course, referred to Tai Hua Mountain which was located at the center of the whole continent; as for thirty-six states, these were the regions of habitat for all the mankind; one of the eight Zones of Risk was the Northern Land of Arctic where Luo Jianqing was found by his Second Brother and Sixth Brother when he was a fugitive in his previous life; then, about the sixteen Waste Lands, the Northern Waste Land where Mo Qiu came from was one of the regions.

Yun State was not a very prosperous state compared to the other thirty-five states. None of the major sects rooted at here. With vast plains and few challenging mountain ranges, Yun State became a perfect place for some minor sects to thrive.

There was only one thing that made Yun State special – it was neighboring the Fiend Palace which was the most unique place all over the regions of mankind: not a part of thirty-six states, the Fiend Palace was a paradise for the Fiend Cultivators.

Everyone knew that – as long as it was not in the middle of the Human-Demon War – Fiend Cultivators were the enemies of all. ‘Eliminate the Fiend Cultivators’ had been a creed most of the righteous cultivators hold for thousands of years. However, after the Fiend Exalt made his name a well-known one, the table was turned. This powerful cultivator built the Fiend Palace, led all the other Fiend Cultivators and declared a war against the rest of mankind. Three states conquered in a flash. In the end, the Tai Hua Mountain sent their Great Elder – the Peak Master of Yu Xiao Peak at that time – to negotiate with the Fiend Exalt, and that’s how the battle was put to an end.

From then on, the Fiend Cultivators had a safe-land of their own — the Fiend Palace.

After all, the event described above happened three thousand years ago. Many had already forgot. The reason why Luo Jianqing still remembered this was that the Elder who stopped the bloodbath was Xuan Lingzi’s Master.

Only one Superior Spiritual Bone could be born in a millennium, but that was not guaranteed. Xuan Lingzi’s Master had no Superior Spiritual Bone, and he waited three thousand years then finally got Xuan Lingzi, but, luckily, Xuan Lingzi only spent three hundred years waiting for another Superior Spiritual Bone, Luo Jianqing.

Luo Jianqing knew that people were saying Tai Hua Mountain’s Great Elder defeated the Fiend Cultivator, but he also knew that the truth was actually the opposite of what the commoners believed. When he was little, Xuan Lingzi told him that, “the Fiend Exalt was a respectful man who defeated your Grand-Master.”

At that time, Xuan Lingzi had already reached Deity Transformation Period. His praise was a solid prove on how powerful the Fiend Exalt was.

Everyone knew that the Fiend Exalt has brought death upon countless men. His cultivation was nothing different with a massacre. A brute devil indeed, but that didn’t stop people from worshiping him as a legend, given that the Fiend Exalt accomplished all of these with a humble, Low-graded First-level Spiritual Bone.

Among the Seven Sons of Tai Hua Mountain, five owned the Supreme-graded First-level Spiritual Bone, one owned the Superior Spiritual Bone, the least gifted Zuo Yunmo still got a High-graded First-level Spiritual Bone.

Compared to them, the Fiend Exalt was not favored by fortune at all: Low-graded Spiritual Bone had little chance breaking through Tribulation Passage Period.

However, he – no matter how unlikely – still became the Fiend Exalt.

Luo Jianqing thought about all of these things once stepping on the land of Yun State. Although they hadn’t met at all, Luo Jianqing already heard lots of things about the Fiend Exalt.

Luo Jianqing knew the reason why Li Xiuchen decided to come here today.

In Seeking Immortality II, Li Xiuchen was destined to meet his third mistress here who was a brutal, aloof young girl. She was always dressed in black so that the trace of blood wouldn’t dye her clothes in any other colors. The girl was in favor of striking in a sudden without any weapon, fingertips piercing through the skin and tearing the heart out alive. Her eyes would kindle with delight by the rhythm of the still booming heart. Her diabolic smile would be your last memory.

This was the Fiend Exalt’s disciple – a Fiend Cultivatress, Yun Xiang.

After entering the Yun State, Luo Jianqing hid his breath, pretending to be a low-level cultivator. He pondered for a while then took out a silver mask from his Interspatial Ring and put it on.

Tailing Li Xiuchen and watching him enter a lodge, Luo Jianqing didn’t follow him in but chose another one which was located a block away.

Because it was right next to the Fiend Palace, often there were cultivators patrolling the city. The commoners already got used to them. Cultivators were always unpredictable, so no one paid attention to Luo Jianqing who was wearing a mask.

The lord of the state, of course, was at least a Body-Fusion-Period Cultivator, not to mention there were three promising sects within the state. Luo Jianqing didn’t want to run any risk. He took the key from the front desk and entered his room, then stayed there for meditating and cultivating, waiting patiently.

Three days later, a gorgeous girl dressed in black trod casually across Luo Jianqing’s lodge. The silver bell decorated on her clothes tinkled along with her movement, composing a pleasant melody.

Surely, there were people who thought the sound annoying. However, they decided to do nothing but endure it after they sensed the girl’s cultivation level.

Late-stage Gold Core Period!

Reaching this level of cultivation at this young age, she must come from a grand sect! It wouldn’t be a good idea challenging her!

Standing beside the window on the second floor, Luo Jianqing was watching the enchanting girl. The latter walked for one more block and entered the lodge where Li Xiuchen was staying. Luo Jianqing did nothing but smile reluctantly.

Yun State was a large state with more than a thousand lodges available at anywhere. Seeking Immortality II didn’t point out in which lodge Li Xiuchen would meet his mistress, but Yun Xiang still went in the one Li Xiuchen picked.

Such a fortune favored guy.

Luo Jianqing checked out his room and came to the tailor shop built next to Li Xiuchen’s lodge.

The shopkeeper came to Luo Jianqing with hospitality, but heard Luo Jianqing said with a winsome smile, “May I live here?”, offering a piece of gold to him.

Everything went as planned. Luo Jianqing stayed at the tailor shop.

Since their distance had been reduced, he wasn’t worried that his Spiritual Sense would be sensed by others. Secretly, he scanned the lodge all over and found the one with highest cultivation was an Elder of early-stage Nascent Soul Period. Li Xiuchen, as an early-stage Foundation Establishment Period cultivator, however, was the one with lowest cultivation base in the lodge.

Li Xiuchen’s room was named ‘Earth Primary’, while Yun Xiang’s room was named ‘Heaven Primary’ which located right above Li Xiuchen’s.
