Another scapegoat appears in Chapter 7?
Another scapegoat appears in Chapter 7?
"Senior Brother, let's go quickly. Aren't you supposed to help me cultivate?"
Hearing Gao Huohuo call him, Chu Lingchuan then led Gao Huohuo to his courtyard.
Seeing that the two had left, Lou Chongxiao hurriedly chased after them.
"Senior Brother, Junior Sister, wait for me, I want to come too."
Looking at his junior brothers and sisters in front of him, Chu Lingchuan instantly felt a great sense of responsibility.
"Since we've come along, we might as well cultivate together."
"You've been in the sect for a year now, and you're still only at the Qi Refining stage. I suppose you haven't been cultivating diligently."
Senior Brother is innocent!
Aren't all the members of their sect at the Qi Refining stage, except for the eldest and second eldest brothers?
If they hadn't lacked resources and couldn't earn Foundation Establishment Pills, their sect wouldn't be in this predicament.
Chu Lingchuan took out a cultivation manual and asked Gao Huohuo if he could understand it.
Gao Huohuo nodded. She had learned these most basic things when she was in the Shadow Sect.
However, I still opened it and flipped through a few pages, and suddenly discovered that the latter part had been altered.
"Senior Brother, where did you get this cultivation technique?"
When his junior sister asked him, Chu Lingchuan was a little embarrassed to answer.
After all, this cultivation technique was given to him by his master from someone else when he first arrived.
Later, as more junior brothers and sisters joined, they all started their cultivation from this point.
If it were said that it was stolen from someone else, Junior Sister would probably think that this sect is not good.
"I bought it from someone else."
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo knew that the person selling the cultivation technique had deceived them.
"Senior Brother, does everyone in our sect cultivate according to this method?"
Chu Lingchuan thought for a moment, and realized that apart from his master, they all cultivated according to this method.
Lou Chongxiao asked with some doubt:
"Junior Sister, is there a problem?"
Gao Huohuo thought about it and decided not to tell them the truth.
If you continue to cultivate according to this manual and reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment, you might suffer from qi deviation.
It seems that someone had planned to target the Shadow Moon Sect from the beginning, which is why they tampered with their martial arts techniques.
And it wasn't just targeting one person, but the entire sect, which probably meant it was her master's enemy.
Fortunately, she arrived. Based on the original owner's memories, by making slight adjustments to the last few parts, the effect could be twice as good with half the effort.
"There's nothing seriously wrong. We'll just make some adjustments here so that everyone's cultivation speed will be faster."
After saying that, Gao Huohuo got to work and corrected all the problematic parts.
"Now you can try it."
Chu Lingchuan and Lou Chongxiao both looked at Gao Huohuo with surprise.
Is their junior sister really that amazing?
They haven't even started cultivating yet, so how could they be adjusting their cultivation techniques?
But you know what?
Practicing the technique that my junior sister adjusted was indeed much smoother.
I felt that the speed at which my spiritual energy was circulating had also increased.
"Senior Brother, please go and tell the other senior brothers and sisters about the revised cultivation method."
From now on, they should all cultivate according to the revised method.
Without further ado, Chu Lingchuan and Lou Chongxiao split up to search for the person.
Gao Huohuo took the opportunity to continue her cultivation; she hadn't been called by her senior brother earlier.
She should be entering the first level of Qi Refining soon.
As soon as Gao Huohuo started, Xiao Fu from the Dark Shadow Sect immediately began taking pills again.
Xiao Fu, still unable to find the cause, feared that he would die before obtaining the treasure.
He then embellished the story and told it to another Foundation Establishment cultivator who was dissatisfied with Gao Huohuo.
In return, she received ten pills, but she figured she wouldn't be able to get Gao Huohuo's treasures.
That Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xiong Lu, had previously spoken ill of Gao Huohuo behind his back.
Someone overheard this and reported it to the sect leader, so he was whipped thirty times, which prevented him from participating in the competition that year.
Having lost the chance to compete for the Nourishing Essence Pill, they will have to wait another two years to participate.
She only heard yesterday that Gao Huohuo was seriously injured, his cultivation was destroyed, and he was thrown into this menial work area by the sect leader.
This morning, as soon as she ran over, she saw Xiao Fu, who lived with Gao Huohuo.
She said that Gao Huohuo's house contained treasures and poison traps, which is why she ended up in this state.
In just one day, Xiao Fu's cultivation level had dropped from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.
This poison is quite potent.
However, Xiong Lu came here to take Gao Huohuo's life anyway, and now that she has treasures hidden in her house, consider it her apology.
As for poison, it might still be somewhat effective against cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.
For a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her, the medicine's effects might not be sufficient.
As for Xiao Fu, who gave her the message, she sent him away with ten pills.
After receiving the elixir, Xiao Fu dared not stay in the courtyard any longer.
He turned around, packed his things, and went out.
It's a pity that she spent a lot of money to buy the soul-summoning banner back then.
She was originally worried about being discovered that she was the one who killed Gao Huohuo.
That's why they chose to use the soul-summoning banner, but Gao Huohuo was perfectly fine, while Steward Tian died instead.
Either the person who sold her the soul-summoning banner didn't explain how to use it clearly at the time.
Either the evil cultivator who made the soul-summoning banner was incompetent, which is why he managed to summon Steward Tian's soul away.
Fortunately, no one suspected her; otherwise, the death of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have been difficult to explain.
Shadow Moon Faction.
Gao Huohuo, who had just started cultivating, was about to check Xiao Fu's energy bar.
Then I noticed another name had appeared below: Xiong Lu.
Who is this? Gao Huohuo originally thought it would be that kid from the Yin Ghost Sect.
That's why I asked for his name beforehand, but who is this Xiong Lu?
Judging from his appearance, he should be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, with an energy bar about the same thickness as Tian Hu's.
Then shut down Xiao Fu and activate Xiong Lu.
Just as I was about to continue my cultivation, I heard that my senior brother and the others had returned.
Judging from the sound, it's likely that her eight senior brothers and sisters have all arrived.
"Junior Sister, after I tell everyone about the cultivation technique you modified..."
Everyone tried it, and sure enough, their training speed was much faster than before.
After saying that, Chu Lingchuan took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to her.
"The Shadow Moon Sect is rather poor, as you've probably noticed, Junior Sister."
This pill was originally bought by everyone pooling together spirit stones.
Thinking about who will be in an emergency next time, and who will use it first.
Given the urgency of your situation, everyone has made a unanimous decision.
"Here's some elixir for you, so you can enter the Qi Refining stage sooner."
Are the Shadowmoon Faction really that poor?
Even the most basic pill requires everyone to pool their spirit stones to buy it?
If I had known, I should have stolen a few of the original owner's treasures when I left.
However, since it was a token of appreciation from his fellow senior brothers and sisters, Gao Huohuo didn't refuse and took it directly.
After taking the pill, Gao Huohuo immediately sat down on the ground to meditate and begin cultivating.
Then I saw that the energy bar of this guy called Xiong Lu was decreasing, but thankfully it stopped at the very last bit.
Gao Huohuo also successfully entered the first level of Qi Refining, a scene that shocked everyone, who suspected that the pill was probably not an ordinary Spirit Gathering Pill.
Unfortunately, there was only one, and it had already been absorbed by their junior sister.
Otherwise, we can let our seventh junior sister study it. Maybe she can find the materials, and their Shadow Moon Sect can also refine it.
Seeing the surprised expressions on her seniors' faces, Gao Huohuo could only pretend that she was also surprised.
"Thank you all for the pills, senior brothers and sisters. I'm so glad I met you."
Otherwise, I wouldn't know when I could enter the Qi Refining stage.
If we have to wait three months, I'm afraid it will be a disgrace to our Shadowmoon Faction.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Shadow Moon Sect instantly realized what was happening.
Junior Sister entered the sect just one day ago, and she has already reached the first level of Qi Refining.
The junior disciple from the Yin Ghost Sect who provoked them has been waiting for three months and still hasn't reached the Qi Refining stage.
Lou Chongxiao looked even more incredulous. Back then, in order to deceive his junior sister, he claimed that she was a cultivation prodigy. Could it be that he really picked up a cultivation genius?
