Chapter 67: Drunken Life and Dream Death

  "Elder brother! This time I've really suffered a huge loss. That Ling Luoyu is not actually the true Heavenly Pulse Body, he's just an ordinary person with a terminal illness, and it's one of those terminal illnesses that even we can't do anything about!" In the separate courtyard at the peak of Wuxuan Peak in Xuanyin Sect, Chen Changlao was speaking to the sect master Wang Zhongque with a face full of despair.

  "Look, this is the culprit of the fluctuation of the law on that kid's body!" Old Man Chen slowly took out a book from his bosom and placed it in front of Wang Zhongyu, which was exactly the "Lotus Sutra" that Ling Luoye had always kept close to him.

  "Chen Shidi, Chen Shidi, I've been telling you to think it through clearly, but you insisted on giving that Ling Luowu the Huafeng Dan. The other brothers have already criticized you for this. Even though we're close, there are only two Huafeng Dans left, and with seven of us brothers, it's clear that you won't get any! Wang Zhongque furrowed his brow, picked up the Lotus Sutra, and gently flipped through its pages."

  "Senior brother, I also know this. This detestable Ling Luofei, on him I've already wasted a large amount of spiritual medicine, even the Cihua Dan was given to him to take, but in the end it turned out he's just an ordinary mortal, I definitely won't let him have a good time!" Chen Changlao's face was gloomy and frightening.

  Wang Zhongkui put down the "Lotus Sutra" and smiled faintly, saying: "In our eyes, ordinary people are just ants. As for Ling Luoyu, do whatever you want to do with him, just don't involve Qiao'er. I'm sure you understand my relationship with Qiao'er. However, this sutra of Ling Luoyu's is indeed a good thing and should be a decent Buddhist treasure. I wonder how it ended up in the secular world. Although we can't use this treasure, relying on the pure Buddha power on its surface, I believe it can at least reduce the probability of our demonic cultivation going wrong by 20%!"

  Elder Chen nodded and said with a hint of resentment, "Don't worry, Shixiong. I absolutely won't implicate Xiaoye in this! Although I know that Buddha's treasure is a good thing, how can it compare to the preciousness of the Creation Pill?"

  Wang Zhongkui glanced at Chen Changlao and smiled, saying: "Looking at my junior brother's confident appearance, I suppose you've already thought of a way to deal with Ling Luofei?"

  Elder Chen smiled faintly and said, "Shixiong, if I'm not mistaken, in two months' time, it should be the sect's Grand Ceremony to Offer Sacrifices to the Gods, right? Since Ling Luoye has wasted so many spiritual medicines anyway, although his physical body is no longer usable, his soul should still be quite pure. How about..."

  Wang Zhongque smiled lightly, interrupting Chen Changlao's words, saying: "Since my junior brother has already made up his mind, then I won't say much more. Let Ling Luoyu have a good time for these two months!"

  Chen Zhanglao clasped his fists and said: "Since Shixiong has no objections, then it's settled! I'll take my leave first!"

  Old Chen strode away with big steps, like a gust of wind leaving this separate courtyard.

  "This Chen Shidi, actually thought of using his own disciple as a sacrifice, his heart is indeed ruthless. However, this is also good, cultivating the Xuanxia Sect's Dao, originally requires cutting off emotions and righteousness, not recognizing the six emotions!" Wang Zhongque shook his head and slowly walked towards the study room.

  Cultivators, as their cultivation increases, their demand for food will also decrease, because they can already absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to satisfy their physical needs.

  However, the majority within the Xuanmie Sect are outer sect disciples. For those who have only reached the Pre-Heavenly realm, their demand for food is still quite large. Wine and meat are not rare in the Xuanmie Sect either.

  The meat was the most exquisite part of the prey, and the wine was a treasured vintage stored within the sect for a long time. Looking at the roasted meat and fine wine in his hands, Ling Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction. Wearing a purple robe, he blended in with the outer disciples dressed in pure white, and naturally received the best treatment.

  Since the day Master Chen took away his Lotus Sutra, Ling Luoye had not seen him again. Moreover, he could clearly feel the coldness of his fellow disciples around him, and even Tu Feng, who used to sneak in frequently, had not come once.

  The only one who has ever come looking for him is Qiao Er, but every time Qiao Er comes looking for him, Ling Luo Yu avoids her without exception.

  "The world is cold and heartless, people's hearts are unpredictable. It's just because I couldn't cultivate that those core disciples of the inner sect looked at me with fear and disdain. Where has the enthusiasm gone when I first entered the sect?" Ling Luoyu gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine, perhaps due to drinking too quickly, he lightly coughed a few times.

  The wine was very strong, and after just a few sips, Ling Luoyu suddenly felt dizzy. In fact, Ling Luoyu had never drunk such strong liquor before, but because the "Lotus Sutra" that had been with him all along was taken away by his master Chen Changlao, the pain he experienced every day at noon when the nine yang pulse was activated seemed to be much more intense than before. Until Ling Luoyu discovered that drinking this strong wine could greatly alleviate this pain, after that, Ling Luoyu could be said to have been inseparable from wine.

  He took a few more swigs of wine, and Ling Luoyu swaggered down the Five Mystical Peaks, walking towards the outside of the mountain.

  Ling Luoyu's destination was that mysterious cave, he wanted to go and study the transmission array thoroughly. These days, Ling Luoyu could be said to have spent most of his time in that cave, every day indulging in the world of arrays, and was quite content with it.

  "The meridians are not unblocked, and I don't have much time left to live anyway. Since I'm useless in this sect, I might as well go study that transmission array thoroughly. After all these days of continuous observation and research, I basically understand it now. This time, I will definitely be able to master the entire array!"

  That mysterious cave is located on a mountain peak that is still some distance away from the Five Mystical Peaks. Although it seemed like no time was spent when Chou'er first took Ling Luoyue there, it wasn't until Ling Luoyue went alone that he realized the distance was really far, far away. At Ling Luoyue's speed, each trip takes at least three hours.

  So every time before going, Ling Luoyu would prepare a large amount of wine and meat to bring over. Often, Ling Luoyu would stay for several days until all the food was eaten up, after which he would return to Xuanxiao Sect to replenish his supplies.

  Suddenly, a whistling sound swept rapidly across the sky, and Ling Luo curiously raised her head to look.

  Above the horizon, several white shadows flashed by quickly. Ling Luo Yu was slightly startled and muttered to himself: "Looking at their appearance, they should be going to our Xuan Xiao Sect's inner area, probably some fellow practitioners. However, if nothing's wrong, there are usually very few guests who come to Xuan Xiao Sect. I wonder what's happening this time?"

  "What's the point of thinking so much? Even if it's a big deal, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a useless person after all! I'd better just quietly study my formations." Ling Luoye sighed bitterly.

  "How strange! Among those few white shadows, one of them seems to be a figure that looks very familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before?" Ling Luoyu muttered to herself as she continued to slowly walk towards the direction of the mysterious cave.
