"Master Uncle Yujing!" Disciple Mu Yu, who was on night duty at the mountain gate, came to visit late at night.
Yu Jing's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He snapped back to reality and looked at Mu Yu, whose face was filled with anxiety. "Why are you in such a panic? It's rare to see you like this."
There was a hint of teasing in his tone. Mu Yu was the eldest disciple of the Cold Pine Sect Leader, and he looked prematurely old despite his young age.
He's clearly a handsome young man, yet he acts like a senior monk from the neighboring Luohan Temple, so composed that he doesn't seem like a young man at all...
Mu Yu bowed and clasped his hands in a disciple's salute: "Senior Uncle, Junior Sister Zhu Yi has returned."
"Oh~ the little girl isn't playing in Fenglan City? Coming back so late, her Crane Feather Flying Vehicle must have cost her several spirit stones! She'll be heartbroken!" Master Yujing seemed unaware of Mu Yu's darkened expression.
There was no other reason than that this junior apprentice's complexion had been consistently unpleasant, as dull as the bottom of a pot, and utterly uninteresting.
"Junior Sister and her two companions were humiliated by Princess Li Mei of the Demon Clan in Fenglan City and were severely injured by the Demon Clan's Nine-Section Demon Whip." Mu Yu finally revealed this serious matter.
Master Yujing's face was now just as dark as Mu Yu's, whom he had just internally criticized...
"The reason is that Li Mei wanted to kidnap the three junior sisters in order to blackmail Junior Brother Lin Yuan."
Mu Yu, maintaining his usual unhurried manner, slowly recounted the events.
Yu Jing grew increasingly annoyed as she listened, "This Su Linyuan, even his travels to the mortal realm have attracted undesirable romantic entanglements..."
As he and Mu Yu walked out to fetch his little apprentice, he couldn't resist teasing Mu Yu a bit more: "When are you going to go and attract a few suitors? Men should marry when they come of age, and we cultivators can also get married~"
"Our senior brother from the Tianlan Sect must be very popular with those young girls, right?"
Mu Yu's breath hitched: "Senior Uncle, Junior Sister was seriously injured and unconscious on her way back! Why don't you go and check on her right away!"
Below the mountain gate, the dark golden airship radiated a dazzling light.
When Master Yujing saw the three young girls, they had already fainted, while Su Linyuan, who had gotten himself into trouble with unwanted romantic advances, stood to the side with a livid face, respectfully bowing to him as a disciple.
"You? A late-stage Golden Core cultivator shouldn't have gotten himself into this state after just one trip to the mortal realm?" Yu Jing's expression darkened, and he abandoned his previous nonchalance and teasing.
This matter is more serious than he thought.
Yu Jing stepped forward to check on his youngest apprentice; the situation was serious, and the other two girls were also in critical condition…
The Mirror Master, who has cultivated his character and temperament for many years, is now enraged!
His usually kind and shrewd gaze turned unusually sharp, and the way Mikami-sama chewed his cheeks made him look just like a little squirrel with its mouth full of pine nuts.
How dare you bully him on camera? Don't you want to get your hands dirty?
Su Linyuan was starting to lose his balance. Black scales were beginning to appear on his neck, and his straight legs were gradually losing the strength to stand. He began to sway from side to side.
Seeing this, Mu Yu quickly stepped forward to help him up, "Junior Brother Lin Yuan, have you been poisoned by a demon?"
"It's alright, Senior Brother. I need to return to the Bamboo Grove Cottage to recuperate for a year," Su Linyuan said with a faint smile.
Then his tone changed, becoming somewhat serious: "Uncle-Master Yujing, on this trip, I discovered traces of the evil deeds of the Demon Serpent Clan in Qingyuan Town of the mortal realm. I was no match for them and was tainted by their forbidden spell."
"The Oath of the Demon Curse will corrupt the mind of anyone who is cursed, until they become demonic and become the servant of the caster." Yu Jing sent a message to Zhao Cai and Jin Bao to make some preparations for healing. The three girls were in a troublesome situation, especially Zhu Yi. She had just returned from another world, and her soul and body had not yet fully merged. Now, she was even more unstable because of the Nine-Section Demon Whip.
He formed a complex hand seal with his hands, and the silvery-white seal gently landed on Su Linyuan to help suppress the demonic energy.
"Go directly to the bottom of Lotus Lake and place it there. This curse is not made of ordinary demonic energy, but of the demonic fruit that grows from the sacred tree of the demon race. Ordinary cleansing spells cannot dispel it, but the lotus flowers in Lotus Lake can purify demonic energy with the energy of plants and trees. It has a miraculous effect. Go now."
Master Yujing patiently explained the text to Su Linyuan and Mu Yu, then left them a thick bamboo scroll to study. The scroll, "The Melody of the Lotus Heart," was obtained by Master Yujing in a secret realm.
Although this was a rare and superior cultivation technique in the cultivation world, Master Yujing knew the greed in people's hearts. If a cultivator with ill intentions used the name of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path to wantonly harm innocent and kind demon cultivators, it would be a sin. Therefore, after obtaining this technique, he consciously pretended that there was no such thing and secretly began to comprehend it on his own...
Nature creates all things, whether gods, immortals, humans, demons, monsters, or ghosts, each has its place. Humans are divided into good and bad, and so are demons.
The so-called "exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path" means eliminating evil spirits and monsters, not using one's abilities to harm other races from the perspective of one's own kind.
Master Yujing acted as he pleased and was arrogant. Naturally, he was unwilling to share the secret manuals and techniques he had worked so hard to obtain with the mediocre people in the cultivation world.
He always gave extra guidance to whichever disciple he liked, and when he was in a good mood, he would share the peaches from his Peach Mountain with the disciples of his sect. He was arguably the most approachable Mahayana cultivator in the cultivation world.
"It is said that this method is the supreme technique for subduing demons, and can transform demonic energy into the cultivator's own spiritual energy. Unfortunately, in the cultivation world, there is only a legend about this mental technique, but no cultivation manual."
Mu Yu calmly explained the follow-up information to Su Linyuan, while Master Yujing had already taken his three junior sisters and flown towards Peach Mountain.
Su Linyuan's legs became increasingly weak, and Mu Yu silently escorted him to the shore of Lotus Lake to settle him down.
"It's truly your good fortune that Senior Uncle Yujing would give you this technique!" Mu Yu exclaimed. The Oath of the Demonic Curse was incredibly powerful, but he wondered whether this would be an opportunity or a calamity for Junior Brother Lin Yuan.
The lake appears somewhat ethereal under the misty night sky. In May, Lotus Lake is serene and beautiful under the moonlight, with many unopened flower buds standing gracefully among the lotus leaves.
Mu Yu didn't have time to take a few more glances. He used 49 mid-grade spirit stones to set up two parallel formations around Lotus Lake: a large spirit-gathering formation and a small warning formation.
"Very good. After Junior Brother Lin Yuan comes out of seclusion, we'll ask him for eighty-one mid-grade spirit stones as a reward." Well, Mu Yu is honest in public, but secretly a bit of a flirt.
The disciples within the sect all understood that upon seeing this warning formation, they should avoid it to prevent disrupting the meditator's meditation or enlightenment.
Since returning with three young girls, Master Yujing of Peach Mountain Sour Peach Peak has not looked well.
Zhao Cai and Jin Bao exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and carefully put away the medicinal herbs. They quietly guarded the medicine furnace room, waiting for Master Yu Jing's instructions.
Even though the Samadhi True Fire in the medicine furnace was burning very brightly, the two spirit pets still felt extremely cold from the surrounding pressure.
"Master, the medicinal pool is ready."
After waiting for a long time without seeing any further action from the master of the Imperial Mirror, Zhao Cai finally couldn't hold back and softly called out to the Imperial Mirror Master.
Master Yujing snapped out of his daze and cast a white spell with his fingertips onto Zhaocai, instantly transforming the plump black cat into a delicate little girl.
Of course, just looking at her petite frame, she appeared somewhat thin and slender standing next to the towering figure of Master Yujing, who was 1.8 meters tall.
"Meow! Master, why did you turn me into human form? Waaah..." Zhao Cai looked unwilling. "Now that you're in human form, you can't sleep in your arms anymore!"
Jinbao, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. If its master could also turn it into human form, it could occasionally go outside the mountain gate to hunt for some delicious food from the beautiful female cultivators!
With a stern face, Master Yujing said gently to Zhaocai, "These three little girls will be soaking in the medicinal pool for a day. Zhaocai, you should stay here and take care of them."
“Give each of them a Qi-strengthening Pill every two hours.”
Master Yujing patted Jinbao's little head again. He was still angry with Jinbao. The thousand-year-old Jade Frost Red Condensation Flower that he had finally obtained from a secret realm was crushed by the little white dog after rolling around a few times, which made him spend a lot of effort to repair the spiritual plant.
Jinbao had been feeling wronged for several days, but now that its owner has petted it like this, it immediately wagged its tail happily again and whimpered joyfully.
