Qin Zhan's expression was one of righteous indignation and sternness.
This is not an excuse.
The recruitment process of the Baozi Cult strictly prohibits any dirty deals made through back channels. Anyone found doing so will be expelled from the Baozi Cult.
As for the elder that Master mentioned, that's even more impossible.
He joined the sect before his master, so if he were to become an elder, he should have been the one to step up first!
He absolutely had no intention of betraying his master or ancestors.
"Do outer disciples have a chance to eat this braised pork knuckle?"
Seeing that Qin Zhan didn't seem to be lying, the rejected Daoist Tianfeng thought for a moment and took a big step back.
It's okay, he can just go in under a different identity.
When you're out in the world of martial arts, how can you not prepare several alternate accounts for killing, arson, and robbery?
"able!"
And so, the Baozi Cult gained three more outer disciples: Daoist Tianfeng and the Lou couple, who were also about to join the cult.
Lou Xiaotian's experience resonated with Qin Zhan's. Later, the two met and hit it off immediately, becoming sworn brothers from different fathers and mothers.
They share a common painful lesson.
That's because... these old Dengs are utterly inhuman!
The two families staged a palace intrigue over half a pork knuckle, while Grandpa Li enjoyed four large pork knuckles all to himself at home.
As for Lu Wu, she glanced at the time and set off for the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
The road is easy to travel and the place is easy to find.
The valley entrance, resembling a narrow sliver of sky, features towering cliffs that extend towards the heavens, leaving only an entrance about three meters wide for people to pass through.
There is no lush grass and fallen petals like in Peach Blossom Spring, nor is there a sudden opening up after walking dozens of steps. Going deeper, you will only see an even more bizarre environment.
Unlike the lush green of normal mountain forests, the flowers, trees, and shrubs around the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons are all dyed a colorful black.
The flamboyant plants are so eye-catching that people want to avoid them.
These are all poisons.
It has been tested that even the soil in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons contains toxins that can easily kill people.
Fortunately, the toxins in the soil only work when ingested, so it's unlikely anyone would be foolish enough to come here and eat dirt.
The designated stall location is a safe area on the outskirts of this area, where all the poisonous substances have been cleared out, providing a temporary resting place for passersby.
Therefore, there are quite a few people on this site.
Upon seeing Lu Wu, he gave her a slightly warning look and then made no further move.
In the wild, murder and robbery are all too common.
Especially when dealing with strangers, you need to be extra careful and tactful.
Lu Wu just looks too harmless. Even without the Ruyi hairpin to conceal her, a newly initiated cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining wouldn't pose a threat to these people.
Lu Wu looked around but didn't see anyone he knew.
She took the food stall out of her storage bag. Lu Wu made some minor modifications to the stall, adding a large pot to the stove to keep the braised pork knuckle warm.
The moment the food stall was set up, it unsurprisingly attracted many stares that looked like it was crazy.
No one who enters the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is a good person.
Most of them are people who live on the edge, and they are not easy to get along with.
There used to be stalls here, but people's hearts are complicated, and once a stall owner made a profit, he would encounter some unexpected events that caused him to lose money.
The main theme is "If I'm not doing well, then nobody is doing well."
Over time, people gave up the idea of setting up a stall here.
Of course, occasionally a few people who don't believe in the superstition will come, but they won't last more than a few days before disappearing from here.
At this point, everyone was just watching Lu Wu's behavior as a source of amusement.
Now, Lu Wu can calmly face these strange looks, and she hangs up the menu.
"I'd rather die than give up braised pork knuckle, ten low-grade spirit stones each."
The rustic yet eye-catching name immediately attracted more attention, and Lu Wu heard many sneers.
Amidst various gazes, Lu Wu took out the braised pork knuckle that had been stewed in advance and put it in the pot to keep it warm.
This isn't a wish-fulfillment novel, but Lu Wu is confident that he'll soon experience a scene where he gets his comeuppance and shows off his power.
The still-hot pork knuckle is showing off its charm here.
The rich and alluring fragrance, carried by the wind from the outskirts of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, could be easily detected.
Despite being invisible, the people who got close to it vaguely saw a stunningly beautiful woman dancing in front of them.
Her smooth skin and beautiful face were irresistible, tempting them to take things further.
Even though those beauties had rare honey-colored skin, they still wanted to be deeply attracted to them.
My mouth is watering, and my heart is pounding.
"Smack!"
"Hallucination, this is a hallucination!"
A middle-aged man struggled out of the aroma and, in a fit of dread, slapped himself.
It's obvious she didn't hold back; her cheeks are visibly swollen.
The pain kept him conscious.
The beautiful woman in his mind had indeed disappeared, but the lingering fragrance in the air told them it was real.
"impossible!"
"I'm sure I've been poisoned!"
The man shouted and yelled, refusing to believe that a mere elbow could lure him in.
He took out an antidote pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.
Once he felt the medicine taking effect, the man's tense body relaxed, but the next moment, his sense of smell was once again invaded by the aroma of meat.
The fragrances were so pervasive that even the allure of honeyed beauties seemed to reclaim his mind.
"Could this be some kind of rare toxin..."
The man couldn't catch his breath, his face turned blue and purple, and his eyes were filled with horror.
Seeing that the antidote pills were ineffective, he was immediately deflated, slumped to the ground, his eyes glazed over, as if awaiting his impending death.
Everything is developing too fast.
