This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 111: If you can't beat them, join them

"Brother, this pack of medicine is so powerful, where does it come from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"The spring river water warms me."

Fox Three raised his eyebrows proudly, "You've never heard of it. I studied ancient classics, combined the strengths of Taoism and Demonism, and spent ten years of hard work to develop a secret recipe. It's not available on the market, only our brothers can buy it. Others can't find it even if they pay more."

Lu Bei: “…”

The handsome guy was speechless for a moment, and silently put the secret medicine bag into the Qiankun Ring. The name was really polite. Mr. Dongpo Pork and Duck both expressed their dissatisfaction.

It combines the strengths of both Taoism and Demonism, and took ten years of hard work. Forgive my ignorance, but this is the first time I have seen such a self-righteous thief.

Seeing Lu Bei accept the medicine package with a thoughtful look on his face, Hu San's mouth curled up slightly.

It is impossible to drug someone, only a fool would do that.

The Taifu is cruel and ruthless. If he really causes a murder case, at the very least his bones will be crushed to ashes, at the worst he will have to get married with a baby and have nothing to do with the world of pleasure from then on. Just thinking about having a wife and children every day is so sad.

Lu Bei was different. His half-brother was what was commonly known as a scapegoat. If he didn't use him as a trick, it would be a shame for all the suffering he had endured over the years.

Thinking of this, Fox Three stepped up his efforts and bewitched him, "Remember to do it well. You must show off our family's prestige and momentum. Mother will be proud of it. When the inheritance is divided before leaving, you will definitely get some benefits. That's a big house in the capital, with maids and housekeepers who have signed indentures to sell themselves. There are several sets of them!"

Lu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, big brother, we brothers have joined forces, and we have done it intentionally. If one of the Mus can escape, can another one escape? Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!"

It's impossible to drug someone. Only a fool would do that.

The Imperial Tutor was famous for his decisiveness in killing people. If a murder case really happened, Fox Three would be protected by Fox Two, and at most he would be beaten up and then married with a child. He was a godson, not a blood relationship, and dared to do anything wrong in the name of Fox Two. He would most likely die on the spot.

Maybe you will have to be castrated before you die, which is so sad to think about.

I can't take this job. At most I can count Fox Three's share in the future and double my filial piety to my godmother, but no more.

"That's absolutely right. If you and I brothers work together, how can she run away?" Fox was very happy and nodded in agreement.

"Brother."

"My dear brother."

The two looked at each other affectionately, both with high hopes in their eyes.

Good second brother, I have decided to retire from society and no longer care about the grudges of those old women. I am counting on you to ensure my comfortable life in the second half of my life!

Good brother, I am new to the world and my strength is weak. It is up to you to inherit the grievances and grudges of the previous generation!

"Hahaha—" x2

Yuezhou.

It was once the territory of Qingqian and is now an important frontier area around Wu. It borders the State of Chu across the river to the east.

The Chu State, also known as the Heroic Chu, was a thousand-year-old dynasty with a strong national power...

It has been on a downward trend in recent years, and can be considered to be in the same boat as Wu Zhou.

The difference is that Wu Zhou's national strength declined due to the confrontation between the imperial power and Huangjizong, while Chu State made matters worse on the basis of Wu Zhou's problems.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, the princes enter the major mountains to practice, and are assessed every ten years. Those who win the emperor's favor can be included in the list of candidates for the new emperor.

When the next new emperor ascends the throne, the unsuccessful candidates will return to the mountain gate to pursue the way to immortality.

Because the new emperor can bring a large amount of resources to the sect, each sect is extremely concerned about the training of the prince, which makes every emperor of Chu exceptionally outstanding, and those who fail to be elected are also good enough to beat the princes and grandchildren of neighboring countries.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

Over the years, there was no Huangji Sect in the territory of Chu. Everyone had a prince, and every family was a member of the Huangji Sect.

In recent years, the old emperor has lost interest in government affairs, and his concubines are no longer interested in him, thinking about abdicating and returning to the mountains to cultivate immortality. Without him to balance the situation, the complex political factions in the country are constantly fighting each other, all wanting to push their own princes to the throne.

This is the imperial power in the world of immortal cultivation. If you can’t beat them, join them.

Benefits are tempting, and once the power-seeking among the immortal cultivators arises, everyone will return to the same level, with you in me and me in you, and the bloodline of imperial power will be able to continue without worries.

Let’s get back to Yuezhou, which is the border between Wu Zhou and Xiong Chu.

There are branches of the Buzhou Mountains extending here, as well as numerous famous mountains and rivers and abundant spiritual energy. It is an excellent place for cultivating immortals, and the average level of each person is one major realm higher than that of Ningzhou.

Also, because the two great countries were separated from each other by a river, they had sufficient weapons and armor, martial arts was prevalent, and there were many sword-cultivating and physical-cultivating sects.

Beijun Mountain, where the Lingxiao Sword Sect is located, is located in Yuezhou.

Lu Bei's trip had nothing to do with Ling Xiao Sword Sect. Before he reached level 80, he had no intention of going to Ling Xiao Sword Sect. He and Hu San flew for ten days, rushing and finally reaching their destination.

Donglin County, Yuyang County.

Yuyang County is the first county of Donglin County. Although it does not have the headquarters of Huangji Sect, its administrative status is equivalent to Dashengguan, making it very suitable as a novice village for players.

Night, barren mountains.

The mountain fog gradually rose, the shadows of the trees on the wild hills were dim, the cold moonlight sent down a gentle breeze, and the smell of decay of dead branches and fallen leaves lingered.

In the dim light, the shadows of the tree branches swayed, like ghost hands, making people feel cold all over.

Fox Three landed on the ground, looked at the dilapidated mountain temple in front of him, nodded, and decided to rest here tonight and get enough rest before going into the city tomorrow.

"Brother, why did you choose such a shabby place?"

Lu Bei fell down and frowned, saying, "This place is in the wilderness and there is a dilapidated temple. There must be some story behind this place. We are smart people, so we should not bring bad luck to this place."

"It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. It's in the middle of nowhere and it's night. How can I be afraid of her?"

Hu San shrugged and strode towards the ruined temple. Ever since he entered Yuezhou, he noticed that someone was secretly observing him.

No doubt, his surname must be Mu.

In this case, it is better to find a secluded place where it will be easier to do things with fewer people, and it will not be embarrassing if you lose.

Seeing that Fox Three was determined to go his own way, Lu Bei could only shrug and follow him into the dilapidated temple. Recalling the bumpy journey, he felt that cultivating immortals was so down-to-earth.

It's outrageous. Even though he is practicing Taoism, he still relies on his legs to travel long distances instead of using magic tools like the flying boat in the clouds.

According to Hu San, there are too many sword-cultivating sects in Yuezhou, and the flying sword gangs roar through in the middle of the night, not only disturbing the residents, but also causing serious crimes such as rear-end collisions and hit-and-runs. The victims have no place to seek redress, and the monks from small sects are full of complaints.

It was not until the chief steward of the Huangji Sect was tragically hit three times by a flying boat and the paint on the flying boat he had made himself was scratched and removed that air traffic control was forcibly restricted in Yuezhou. Except for designated routes, flying swords, flying shuttles and other flying magic weapons were prohibited in other places.

With the speed of the two of them controlling the wind at the Baodan realm, there was no need for them to take a winding route. A straight line would be faster, but at most a little more tiring.

As Fox Three had expected, his enemy had finally found him.

On the slope far away from the deserted mountain and the dilapidated temple, a dozen men in black were covering their heads and wearing three-foot-long swords at their waists.

Wearing a piece of cloth on the head means either being scary or being rich.

This batch is similar. The Xuanyinsi is deployed to other countries, and their espionage, assassination, and subversion of the regime are, when rounded off, much smaller in horrific destructive power than theirs.

The woman in the lead was dressed in black, with an exquisite figure, a thin waist and long legs. The cold moonlight shone on her beautiful face, casting a soft and peaceful look.

The purple guard of Xuanyin Division, Mu Jiling.

A water curtain appeared in front of Mu Jiling. She looked at the scene of Hu San and Lu Bei walking into the ruined temple arm in arm, sneered and put on the mask. Most of her delicate face was covered, only her sharp eyebrows were exposed. Her temperament changed drastically, and the gracefulness of the moonlight was annihilated without a drop left.

Extremely murderous!

"The fish has arrived. All the troops, listen to my orders and follow me to capture the thief..."

Halfway through his words, Mu Jiling realized that he had picked up the wrong script, and changed his tone and said, "The sheep have been caught in the net. Brothers, gather your weapons and follow me to capture them. You can spare the little sheep, but you must not let the big sheep go."

"…" x12

A dozen men in black looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence.

It's so embarrassing.

After all, they were Qingwei of Xuanyinsi, military officers who received salaries from the imperial court. If they pretended to be robbers and beat their own people in the middle of the night, they would not be able to face other colleagues in the future if this got out.

"Why, you want to rebel?"

"You are joking, my Lord. We will follow you till death..."

"Call me village chief. If anyone dares to reveal his true identity and is caught by the vixen over there, don't blame me for being ruthless when I go back and sending him to live undercover under an assumed name for ten years!" Mu Jiling said viciously, looking at the charming face of Fox Sanqian in the water curtain, gritting his teeth again.

How can it be possible that you, a man, are more beautiful than me!

Even more angry.

Lu Bei believed that Mu Jiling's resentment towards Hu San was a result of hatred turning into hatred. After all, it was difficult to guess what a girl was thinking. She might say she hated him, but she actually liked him in her heart.

Fox Three said that was nonsense and it was just a continuation of the grudges of the previous generation. The Tutor disliked Fox Two anyway, and Mu Ji Ling was influenced by him and regarded him as his mortal enemy. He was so pitiful and was just an innocent victim who was implicated.

Mu Jiling said that they were both talking nonsense, there was no continuation of the grudges from the previous generation, and it was even more impossible for it to deteriorate. He sought revenge on Fox Three just because he felt uncomfortable and wanted to seek an explanation for his childhood self.

She has a round face, a flat nose, a big mouth, a thick waist, short legs and no neck. The song is made into a song and sung eight times a day. Just think about it and you will know how much psychological harm it causes to a ten-year-old girl!

Much taller than a big bag.

If she hadn't been so timid at the time, she would have stabbed Fox Three to death with a pair of scissors.

Time can wash away hatred, but it can also settle hatred. Mu Jiling was the one that was settled.

Some time ago, she heard that Fox Three's undercover work had ended and his code name appeared on the roster again, so she became interested. However, she was unable to find a chance to take action because everyone was in different places.

Just as she was dozing off, she soon found her perfect partner. After a while, her superiors gave her an important task, and they could also recruit young guards from outside Yuezhou to help.

Mu Jiling immediately transferred Fox Three over.

Yuezhou is her territory. Here, Hu San can't escape even if he has wings. She can beat him however she wants.

I've inquired around. Fox Three is still in the Baodan realm, just one step away from reaching the Xiantian realm. If he isn't beaten eight times a day for three hundred days in a row, it will be difficult to beat him again in the future.

Just when Mu Jiling was about to lead twelve fierce warriors to charge into the ruined temple with a wave of her hand, the water curtain flashed, and her face instantly turned gloomy.

"There's an ambush..."

"Exposed?"
