"Patriarch...Patriarch, you've reached the Golden Core Realm!!"

The old steward was overjoyed.

The Bai family of Xiangshui now has another Golden Core Realm expert in charge.

"Golden Core, that's amazing!"

Qin Shou flicked his finger, and with a bang, the middle-aged man's body exploded.

Middle-aged man: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴ ......I'm hanging up now? ? ?

Old Butler: =????=????(●???● |||).........The head of the family is gone!!!

"Who exactly are you? What are you doing seeking out my Immortal Crossing Sect? Do you know I am an outer sect deacon of the Immortal Crossing Sect? If you dare kill me, the sect master will not let you off."

A golden phantom of a soul twisted in the void, emitting roars, but was quickly captured by Qin Beast.

"I said I want to know the location of the Immortal Crossing Sect's lair."

"Hmph, I will never betray the Holy Lord."

"Oh, really?"

Qin Shou's lips curled into a cold smile.

"I wonder if these flames from hell can melt away your loyalty."

A ball of crimson lotus karmic fire surged from Qin Shou's palm, enveloping the golden phantom of the soul and burning fiercely.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, said to burn away all evil in the world, is the nemesis of evil spirits. The soul in his hand, though seemingly holy, is actually full of filth.

Once scorched by karmic fire, one will suffer a fate worse than death.

"ah........."

The mournful wails echoed continuously throughout the hall.

It was a piercing pain that went straight to the depths of my soul.

"Stop! You dare kill the head of my Bai family! Even if my Bai family is no match for you, we will fight you to the death!"

The old butler roared angrily.

"He is not your family head; he has been possessed."

Qin Shou responded calmly.

"That's utter nonsense! He is indeed the head of my Bai family."

The old steward shouted and was about to rush forward to fight Qin the beast.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"He is indeed not the head of my Bai family."

A disheveled girl in tattered red clothes walked in and stood in the hall, coldly staring at the illusory soul in Qin Shou's hand.

"Young...Young Miss!!!"

The old butler, upon seeing the woman in red, immediately turned pale with shock and exclaimed, "You...you're not mentally challenged, are you?"

"I'm not mentally impaired; I'm just feigning madness. Otherwise, this treacherous villain would have killed me long ago."

The girl in red pointed angrily at the illusory soul and shouted, "This person not only killed the old master, but also possessed my father, and even extracted and devoured the souls of my two brothers."

Decades ago, my mother also mysteriously disappeared. I discovered some clues, and to protect myself, I had to pretend to have gone mad from practicing martial arts, which allowed me to survive by sheer luck.

"I have clung to life until now only so that one day I can avenge my parents."

The girl in red wept bitterly. Seeing her enemy's miserable state, she felt a sense of exhilarating pleasure and laughed maniacally.

Bang!

The girl in red knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the Qin beast.

"Bai Yumo of the Bai family thanks you for your kindness, sir."

"From now on, whatever your command, sir, I, Yu Mo, will go through fire and water for you, even if it means my own destruction."

"Young lady, get up. Our visit was merely a matter of chance; there's no need to worry about it too much."

Qin Shou chuckled, raised his finger slightly, and a gentle breeze swept by, lifting the girl's figure.

"Thank you, sir!"

Bai Yumo bowed, then dismissed the crowd, saying:

"Please wait a moment, sir. I know some things about the Immortal Crossing Sect, but I'm in a very sorry state right now. I hope you'll allow me to go and sort things out."

"good. "

The Qin beast smiled and agreed.

Bai Yumo retreated.

Qin Shou looked at the soul in his palm, "Have you made up your mind?"

The phantom of the soul did not answer, only wailed repeatedly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems the Immortal Crossing Sect's brainwashing abilities are unparalleled. If this were in my previous life, they would definitely be the top pyramid scheme organization in the world."

"But don't worry, you'll tell me soon."

With his hands behind his back, Qin Shou walked through the landscape of the Bai family mansion, pausing briefly as he passed a pavilion by a mountain stream.

Below, the clear, melodious voices of dozens of children reciting their lessons filled the air.

Qin Shou hadn't heard such a sound in a long time; it felt like a lifetime ago.

"Senior."

At this moment, Bai Yumo walked over.

The little one changed into an elegant, plain-colored long gown; her appearance was delicate and handsome, making her a striking beauty.

"Hehe, may I ask your age, young lady? Are you married? Do you have a suitable husband?"

Lang Sansheng leaned in and asked three questions in a row, before Qin Shou slapped him away.

"If you and Xiao Xuan could get rid of this bad habit, you two combined would have far fewer enemies."

Qin Shou glanced at this idiot.

"Senior, this is the information I have about the Immortal Crossing Sect."

Bai Yumo handed over a slip of paper and said, "My Bai family has a secret treasure called the Thousand Sound Conch. It can detect all sounds within a radius of thousands of miles. My great-grandfather gave me this treasure when I was born."

I have heard many times that the villain met with many mysterious figures and heard them talk about a sect called the Immortal Crossing Sect. I only know that this sect is very mysterious and seems to be researching some kind of plan. In addition, the Holy Lord they mentioned is very mysterious and seems to have extremely high cultivation.

I also know that they collect tens of thousands of newborn babies every year through various means for research projects, but I don't know exactly what they are researching.

On one occasion, a Nascent Soul cultivator even appeared and almost discovered the deception. I quickly cut off the detection, and since then, I've never dared to conduct detection casually again.

What Bai Yumo said didn't seem to matter much to the Qin Beast.

However, when he heard that tens of thousands of babies were needed for research every year, Qin Shou was still furious.

Even if his name is Qin Shou, upon hearing this story, he would still think it's utterly monstrous.

It's like a mother animal opening the door for a beast; the beast has arrived home.

"I'll talk... I'll talk... I'll talk..."

At this moment, the phantom soul finally couldn't hold on any longer and howled and shouted.

Qin Shou ignored him and instead looked at Bai Yumo, saying, "Little girl, you have good potential, but your Dao foundation seems to be shattered."

Bai Yumo lowered her head, her voice filled with sorrow, "Yes, to deceive that treacherous villain, I didn't hesitate to damage my own cultivation foundation, feigning a qi deviation. Later, he was still uneasy and casually shattered my cultivation foundation, rendering me hopeless in this lifetime."

For now, she can only stop at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hehehe, I think the Bai family is quite nice; the weather is excellent."

"At least in this unpredictable world of cultivation, it's considered excellent."

Qin Shou let out a leisurely sound, then patted Bai Yumo on the shoulder.

The laws of order, like chains, rushed into Bai Yumo's body, reshaping her foundation.

"This is........."

Bai Yumo was shocked.

She felt her broken foundation of Tao being rebuilt and restored.

Such a masterful technique is something that even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not accomplish, and probably even a Deity Transformation cultivator could not do.

Could this senior before me be the legendary being who has comprehended the laws of order...?

"These martial arts techniques and sword skills will now be taught to you."

Qin Shou lightly tapped his finger, and several beams of golden light fell into Bai Yumo's brow.

Bai Yumo was flattered and immediately knelt down to pay her respects, but Qin Shou stopped her.

"You are not my disciple, you need not bow to me."

"I only granted you this opportunity because I felt a connection with you."

How well you cultivate yourself in the future ultimately depends on yourself.

"Little girl, study diligently; you may one day witness the magnificence of the Great Dao."

The Qin beast strolled leisurely forward.

"Thank you so much, sir, for giving me a 'new life'! Thank you so much, sir, for teaching me! Thank you so much, sir, for your kindness!"

Bai Yumo was in tears.

Twenty years of forbearance, twenty years of my mind teetering on the edge of distortion, it was ultimately the light of the sir who illuminated my path.

"Sir, is there anything you wish for? I, Yu Mo, am willing to dedicate my entire life to fulfilling it for you."

Watching the figure recede into the distance, Bai Yumo shouted loudly.

Qin Shou turned around and smiled slightly.

"I do hope that the sound of the Bai family reciting their lessons can continue forever."
