Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 40

Ch 40: Sect Inheritance

Wei Xing stopped opposite Ling Xiao and said aggrievedly, “Compensate? How will you compensate? Can you afford it?”

Ling Xiao kept feeding himself pills and sat on the ground to adjust his breathing. The only Steel Talisman Corpse in relatively good condition stood beside him. It could be seen that he was seriously injured and was constantly suppressing the injuries on his body.

Ling Xiao didn’t waste any words and said directly, “Speak, what do you want?”

Wei Xing looked at him at this time, and didn’t mention compensation first. He knew clearly that if he came up and talked about conditions, he would definitely not get what he wanted. Instead, he curiously asked, “Looking at you, you don’t seem like someone who lacks money. Why would you do such a fraudulent thing?”

Ling Xiao was embarrassed and smiled shyly, “Master… Master said that my personality is too introverted and sincere, and I don’t know how to lie. In this world full of deception, I can’t survive. So, so I came up with a trick, which is to deceive some people to increase my experience.”

Wei Xing was so angry at this strange reason that he said, “So, you came to deceive me? Am I such a fool?”

Ling Xiao innocently replied, “It’s just that you look a bit silly.”

Wei Xing was even more speechless: “I’ll hit your immortal coffin lid.”

Wei Xing coughed twice, stretched out two fingers and pointed to the Steel Talisman Corpse next to him, tentatively saying, “Enough talk, these things of yours that are neither human nor ghost are quite powerful. I won’t ask you for too much, give me the refining method, and it will be my apology gift, how about it?”

Ling Xiao just finished listening and refused: “No, no, these are the inheritance of the sect, I’m afraid Ling Xiao can’t decide to give them away.”

“Ah, that’s right, your sword technique that fell from the sky, give it to me as compensation.” Wei Xing pointed to the sky and continued.

“No, that’s also a sect inheritance.”

“That Talisman Chains of yours, that can trap enemies like that, that’s fine too.”

“Sect inheritance.”

……

Wei Xing was completely enraged: “This is also a sect inheritance, that is also a sect inheritance, what else do you have that isn’t from the sect?”

After Ling Xiao heard Wei Xing’s words, he thought seriously for a while, and said, “Ling Xiao, this whole body was given by the sect, and there are no private possessions. The only Small Bell was also shattered in the battle just now.”

“Damn it! According to what you said, you can’t compensate for anything! That Small Bell was still snatched from my hands!” Wei Xing pointed at Ling Xiao’s nose and questioned.

The air instantly fell into silence, and the two fell into a stalemate.

Wei Xing looked at the Steel Talisman Corpse next to Ling Xiao, and was extremely envious: “No, no, I must deceive this thing into my hands today, oh no, let him give it to me as compensation.”

“I have a good idea,” Wei Xing said, tempting Ling Xiao.

“Oh? What is it?”

“Since this is all your sect’s inheritance and cannot be easily passed on to others, then I will join your sect, wouldn’t that mean I’m not an outsider? That way, it would be justifiable for you to pass it on to me, right?” Wei Xing came up with a bad idea.

Ling Xiao was actually thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and then replied, “This matter requires the consent of my master.”

What Wei Xing was waiting for was this moment: “This is easy to handle, who is your master? I’ll go see him, and if he agrees, wouldn’t that be fine?”

Ling Xiao pointed to the distant, faintly visible distant sky, and said, “Master is fighting with that Enchantress.”

Wei Xing looked at the thunder that kept exploding in the distance, and said, “Oh, is your master quite powerful?”

After hearing this, Ling Xiao said with a proud face, “That’s right, Master knows a lot, and is very strong. Before, a Woman in Purple was severely injured and fled by Master. If the pursuers hadn’t come, Master would have been able to kill another traitorous sect disciple.”

After hearing this, Wei Xing nodded. When he heard the words Woman in Purple, the scene of being picked by the Woman in Purple that day appeared in his mind. He vaguely remembered that the Woman in Purple was also seriously injured at the time!

Wei Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that the Woman in Purple was injured by Ling Xiao’s master, and then he encountered her, exclaiming: “Damn, it can’t be such a coincidence, right?”

Ling Xiao turned around and glanced at Wei Xing, feeling inexplicably confused: “What’s wrong?”

Wei Xing told Ling Xiao about how his horse was frightened after being scammed, and how he encountered the Woman in Purple.

Ling Xiao calculated the time and found that it matched perfectly, looking at Wei Xing pitifully and said, “The time matches exactly what Master said!”

Wei Xing’s lungs were about to explode with anger after hearing this. He spun around in place like a top, frantically cursing: “Why do you master and disciple keep harming me! Am I so unlucky to meet you two enemies!”

Ling Xiao couldn’t refute it either, so he could only persuade him with kind words.

Wei Xing took the opportunity to say, “No, you master and disciple have harmed me so badly, you must compensate me. The refining method of your Steel Talisman Corpse must be given to me to barely comfort my injured heart!”

Ling Xiao was embarrassed, and without looking at him, pointed to the distant sky: “It has to be approved by Master.”

Wei Xing followed his finger and looked at the distant sky, only to see a White Great Sword in the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder, rapidly piercing from the clouds towards a red mist, and finally piercing through the red mist and splitting downwards, passing through the Red-Clad Woman’s body.

However, the woman still slowly stood up and immediately threw something out. This object instantly turned into a huge Red Skull, biting towards the Old Taoist with rolling red smoke. The Taoist did not block it, and his body slowly fell from the sky like an autumn leaf.

Wei Xing vaguely saw this scene and said in shock to Ling Xiao, “That Ling Xiao, look quickly, your master is dead!”

“Your master is the one who died,” Ling Xiao retorted.

It was just that when Ling Xiao turned around and looked at the familiar figure falling in the sky, his brain went blank, tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted, “Master!”

Then he was about to get up and go in the direction of the falling figure, but Wei Xing held him tightly and said, “Since even Master can’t beat that Enchantress, you’re just going to die. Then my Steel Talisman Corpse, sword techniques, and talismans will all be in vain! You can’t go!”

“Let go,” Ling Xiao turned around and broke free from Wei Xing’s restraint.

Wei Xing shouted, “Have you forgotten what Master said? He told you to escape quickly and preserve the seed! If you go to die now, your master will have died in vain. If you give me all the inheritance of your cultivation methods now, go ahead and die, I won’t stop you.”

Ling Xiao trembled all over after hearing this, and his anger made his eyes crack, but what Wei Xing said made his steps seem to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn’t take a step for a long time.

At this time, Wei Xing suddenly saw the Red-Clad Woman coming towards him!

Wei Xing anxiously said to Ling Xiao, “Run, that Red-Clad Woman is coming this way! Run quickly, you will surely die if she finds you!”

Wei Xing didn’t want the things that were about to be in his hands to be gone like this. If the Crimson took away these Steel Talisman Corpse cultivation methods that he coveted, he would definitely not be able to touch a single hair!

Ling Xiao looked at the Red-Clad Woman flying towards this side, and although he was unwilling, he gritted his teeth and fled into the distance.

Just after Ling Xiao left, Wei Xing quickly ran to the blood near the dead Wild Bear and smeared some on the corners of his mouth and all over his body. Then he waited for the opportunity, waiting for the Red-Clad Woman to arrive, fell down, then stood up with difficulty, and then shouted in pain, “Traitor, don’t run!”

Crimson then stopped in the air next to Wei Xing, but the situation looked very bad!

A huge sword mark passed through her chest, penetrating to her abdomen, and blood kept seeping out from inside. Although the Red-Clad Woman was desperately suppressing it, a large amount of blood kept gushing out.

The woman stopped next to Wei Xing, barely standing, her face pale, and said weakly, “Take… take off your clothes, this one needs you to circulate your energy to heal.”

As soon as Wei Xing heard about practicing energy to heal, he immediately remembered the scene of being tortured to death by the Woman in Purple that day, and said in fear, “That Woman in Purple was not as seriously injured as she is now, and she took half of my life. Now she is obviously about to die, and if she uses me to practice energy, wouldn’t that kill me!”

Thinking of this, Wei Xing said tremblingly, “Immortal Envoy, will I die… die?”

Crimson saw that Wei Xing did not do what she said, and that a small Dao Breath actually violated her order, and said indifferently, “For this one’s recovery, what’s wrong with you, a small Dao Breath, dying? It’s your honor to die! Take it off quickly, or die!”

When Wei Xing heard that Crimson wanted his life, he kicked Crimson’s buttocks with his backhand and cursed, “Go to hell! Why don’t you die!”, Then Wei Xing ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.
