Chapter 313
After speaking, the man in black disappeared from the spot, but Song Bai waited there for a long time before standing up after letting out a long sigh.
He muttered "What a braggart" while touching his forehead.
The next instant, a sharp, electric shock-like pain shot through his mind.
Song Bai stood frozen in place.
"There really are seeds!"
He paused for a moment, then muttered to himself, seemingly unconvinced, "No! What makes that good-for-nothing so special?"
"It was the Half-Moon Immortal Venerable who saved his life again, and now some unknown powerhouse wants me to bully that good-for-nothing..."
As he pondered, he began to reflect.
Could it be that the man in black robes disliked the Immortal Venerable, and that's why he ordered him to bully Bai Yu, who was related to the Immortal Venerable?
"Wait a minute, why not just kill that good-for-nothing?"
He suddenly hissed.
"Could it be that the man in black robes has been in love with the Immortal Venerable for many years, and now that the Immortal Venerable favors that good-for-nothing, the man in black robes is jealous but doesn't dare to actually kill him for fear of displeasing the Immortal Venerable, so he ordered me to do it?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Wouldn't that mean I've displeased the Immortal Venerable? No way, no way, no way!"
He paced back and forth in the room, then paused for a moment, "I won't let the Immortal Venerable know, will I? Besides, it's not certain whether that good-for-nothing will even be able to see the Immortal Venerable again."
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged and opened his spatial ring.
Song Bai's eyes widened gradually, and then his mouth slowly opened wide.
"Bone-crushing poison, menstruation-softening powder, nine-bend intestinal-severing pill, itching powder..."
"Can his life withstand this kind of treatment?"
During the inventory, he also discovered some of the pills that should have been given to him.
He came from a prestigious family and had no shortage of such things, but the fact that all the pills in the ring were of a high grade made him tremble with fear.
Seeing that he had finished counting, Ling Wu finally snapped out of her daze.
In the days that followed, Bai Yu's door would be kicked open every day by Song Bai and a group of people.
Although Song Bai would not harm Bai Yu's life, the various pills and powders that Song Bai unexpectedly possessed would cause him great suffering before he used demonic energy to force them out of his body.
Amidst all this turmoil, the words they utter, such as "trash" and "ugly monster," would repeatedly cause the darkness that Bai Yu had painstakingly suppressed to resurface.
He was repeatedly pinned to the ground by a group of people, surrounded by laughter and mockery, accompanied by the pain that arose all over his body after being forced to take pills.
He was powerless to resist time and time again, listening to Song Bai's disdain for him.
All of this fueled endless anger in Bai Yu's heart.
But he had to suppress it; he dared not use demonic energy within the Tianyi Sect.
Especially since "she" wanted the Immortal Venerable to know, he was even less likely to grant "her" wish.
"The disciple-acceptance ceremony is in a few days. I heard from the elders that the Half-Moon Immortal Venerable will also be present this time."
"Boss, you've waited so many years, you'll definitely be chosen by the Immortal Venerable..." The voices of the youths faded away with their departing footsteps.
Bai Yu lay on the ground and suddenly realized that he could see blurry images.
You can see it now!
"I'm not passing on my secret techniques to you so you can become a coward!" the demonic soul scoffed.
Bai Yu suppressed his joy at being able to see again, "The disciple-acceptance ceremony is coming soon. Do you have any way to suppress the demonic energy in my body?"
"You think you can become that woman's disciple?" the demonic soul scoffed. "Wishful thinking."
Bai Yu held the porcelain bottle with only a few pills left, his eyes lowered. "You, a person from the Upper Realm, surely don't even have the ability to forge spiritual energy from the Lower Realm?"
For some reason, he always felt that as long as he appeared at the disciple-acceptance ceremony, the Immortal Venerable would definitely accept him as a disciple.
Seeing through Bai Yu's provocation, Demon Soul scoffed disdainfully, "Yes, I do, but... you think you can do it?"
A dark glint flashed in Bai Yu's eyes, and then he prepared to absorb the demonic soul's power.
This time, however, he began cultivating the Demon Soul Technique from the perspective of a cripple, unlike in his previous two lives when he only began cultivating it after gaining the ability and correcting the flaws of the secret technique.
As a result, whenever he absorbs demonic energy, his demonic soul receives feedback.
Now, the demonic soul has unknowingly taken over the dominant position in his sea of consciousness.
The demonic soul snorted coldly, and its demonic energy retaliated, causing Bai Yu to feel his eyes widen in horror!
"Considering this is a first offense, this is just a warning."
However, Demon Soul wasn't much better off. He didn't want to see such a situation of mutual destruction, so he didn't forget to give him a sweet treat.
"There is a cliff thirty miles outside the sect, and a demon-repelling flower grows on the cliff. If you take it, it can temporarily suppress the demonic power in your body into spiritual energy."
Bai Yu covered his head, trying hard to suppress the murderous intent rising in his heart, "Then what about my spiritual root?"
The demonic soul sneered, "I chose you because you have five spiritual roots, which, through my cultivation techniques, could be transformed into ancient or chaotic spiritual roots. But now your spiritual roots are damaged..."
He didn't say anything more, gave a cold laugh, and disappeared into the depths of his consciousness.
The fact that his broken spiritual root could recover to have five spiritual roots is already due to the power of his cultivation technique.
Unless he is fortunate enough to find a spirit-removing herb to eliminate the remaining spiritual roots, this is the end of the story.
Bai Yu didn't lose heart for long. After all, he was born with five spiritual roots, so being able to recover was already considered good luck.
"The Demon-Slaying Flower," he murmured, lowering his head.
He had been cultivating in the thatched hut all this time, and now that he could finally see it, the first thing he did was to look down at the porcelain bottle in his hand.
This was given to him by the Celestial Venerable.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Venerable never came again after that day.
He lowered his eyes, concealing his disappointment.
"The Immortal Venerable may be in seclusion."
After giving his answer, he followed the instructions of the demon soul and used his demonic energy to rush to the cliff thirty miles away.
His vision gradually cleared with each step, and he could see the expressions on the faces of more and more people along the way.
There was disgust, dislike, sympathy, and fear...
Bai Yu reached out and touched the raised scar on his cheek.
"I'll disappear once I have the beauty pill," he whispered to himself, trying to comfort himself, but his head drooped lower and lower.
The light that had been lost and then regained was like a sharp sword piercing through his last veil of shame.
The demonic soul that coexisted with him in his sea of consciousness watched coldly. He had been awake for some time since Bai Yu began practicing his techniques.
No matter how much magic he expended, the icy blue mark in his sea of consciousness remained as steady as a mountain.
He was a powerful figure from the upper realm, who was pursued by countless experts before finally perishing, but now he has fallen to this state.
The demonic soul snorted coldly again.
Bai Yu, thinking that the demon soul was mocking him again, lifted his eyelids but did not respond.
The most important thing now is to obtain the Demon-Slaying Flower.
At the cliff edge, the man in black robes had been waiting, but vanished the moment Bai Yu appeared.
The demon soul sensed something but remained silent.
This man in black robes was just as unfathomable to him as the woman in the blue dress. Moreover, this man in black robes was unpredictable and could appear and disappear without a trace. He had already provoked one, and he absolutely could not provoke "her" as well.
The demonic soul completely concealed its demonic energy, as if it didn't exist.
Seeing that he didn't make any sarcastic remarks, Bai Yu became wary and only peered out at the cliff after confirming that there was no danger around.
Sure enough, atop the cliff face, there was a dark purple flower swaying in the wind.
"I suppose this is the Demon-Slaying Flower."
He muttered to himself, but the demonic soul in his sea of consciousness still did not respond.
Bai Yu reached out but couldn't reach the flower, so he had to lie down and carefully lean out again to get closer to it.
But just as his hand touched the flower, the man in black robes suddenly appeared behind him, stepping on his back with spiritual power!
