Chapter 74: The Palace Master of Zhengxin Palace, the Human Tool’s Mother
The things that Bi Xu said were very easy to understand. He wanted to make a slight exaggeration of this incident before the important figures of the prefecture capital and the Imperial City came, so as to appear impressive.
The other party’s method was to make Bai Yi, who had solved this crisis, become a Guest Minister of the Imperial Court of Qinghe County.
In this way…
The person who would break the demon cultivators’ conspiracy would be the people in Bi Xu’s group.
Regarding this…
Bai Yi was not the least bit tempted. He refused and said, “I’m not interested in becoming a Guest Minister of the Imperial Court.”
Some Immortal cultivators were quite infatuated with the power of the Imperial Court, while others did not have the slightest bit of desire.
Obviously, Bai Yi was the latter.
With Bai Yi’s current cultivation and Immortal cultivation foundation, no matter which force he joined, he would leap into the middle class.
Moreover, he would be able to gain the attention of many people.
Bai Yi felt that if he joined a sect like Spirit Sword Sect, becoming the Holy Son would be a very simple thing.
However, he did not do that.
The main reason was that it was too troublesome, and he did not want to be involved in too much right and wrong.
Previously, he was targeted many times… but each time, it was the other side that wanted to attack him first.
Otherwise… He really could not be bothered to get involved.
Bi Xu’s face was full of bitterness. He also knew that his request was too forceful. How could a pure-hearted cultivator like Cultivator Bai join forces with a person like him?
Perhaps this was the reason why Cultivator Bai could become a Foundation Establishment cultivator while he could not advance in the Qi Refinement stage.
There is a huge difference in the mood between the two sides.
I care too much about power!
“But…” Bai Yi did not say it out loud. His face was very calm, “If the Immortal cultivators from the state capital come down to investigate this matter, if they find me and ask me some questions, I can tell them that this is the county government’s plan to catch a turtle in a jar. The goal is to lure the snake out of its hole and catch all the demon cultivators in one fell swoop.”
In the blink of an eye, the bitterness on Bi Xu’s face was replaced by ecstasy. At this moment, Bai Yi’s image in his heart suddenly grew by countless times.
It even surpassed that of the expert who had brought him onto the path of Immortal cultivation all those years ago.
He almost wanted to bow down to Bai Yi!
“Many thanks, Cultivator Bai!” Bi Xu gritted his teeth. This time, he actually took out another storage bag. This storage bag was clearly his own. “Cultivator Bai, please accept this gift of thanks!”
“No need.” Bai Yi smiled and shook his head. “As long as you don’t forget your original intention and have the heart to protect the people, it’s fine.”
Bai Yi would help Bi Xu with this favor. It was mainly because Bi Xu had a rare and valuable advantage.
That was, when Qinghe County encountered a crisis, the other party really dared to attack.
This might sound like nothing much, but in such a cultivation world, it was truly rare and valuable.
Bi Xu was not the only Guest Minister of Qinghe County, but the only one who was truly willing to deal with the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace.
He was the only one!
No matter what his motive was, as long as he was willing to protect the commoners, then he was a good person.
Bai Yi silently gave Bi Xu a good person card in his heart.
Hopefully… He would not let him down.
…
Noon.
The cooldown time of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator ended once again, but whether it was Human Tool Number 1 or 2, neither of them connected to the Immortal Cultivation Simulator in time. Both of them seemed to be entangled in something at the same time.
Zhengxin Palace.
A woman wearing a long robe said coldly, “You’re finally willing to come back? Since you like the colorful world outside so much, do you need me to buy you real estate outside so that you can stay outside in peace for the rest of your life?”
The aura of the woman was restrained, like a pool of deep water. People would not be able to figure out the depth of it.
At first glance, she looked somewhat similar to Qin Jiao. However, she seemed to be more intellectual and mature, more like a mature woman like Qin Jiao.
The woman’s gaze had always been on Qin Jiao.
It made Qin Jiao uncomfortable for a while, but she seemed to be a little afraid of this woman.
She did not dare to be rash. She could only say weakly in a low voice, “Mother… I was wrong, and I’m back now.”
She had admitted her mistake. It was indeed strange.
“If I didn’t ask your three Senior Brothers to bring you back, would you be willing to come back?”
Obviously, the woman was Qin Jiao’s mother, the Palace Master of Zhengxin Palace!
Zhengxin Palace and Spirit Sword Sect were both reputable sects.
However, Zhengxin Palace’s overall scale seemed to be quite small, and the number of disciples could not compare to Spirit Sword Sect.
Of course, this did not mean that it was inferior to the Spirit Sword Sect.
On the contrary, the Zhengxin Palace had always adhered to the elite strategy. Even the outer sect disciples could compare to the inner sect disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.
It was because of this that the Zhengxin Palace did not have many disciples.
In terms of quality, it was not inferior at all!
“Also…” The Zhengxin Palace’s Palace Master frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Did you learn something that you shouldn’t have learned outside? Why do you smell like a demon? Moreover, when did your cultivation break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?”
Qin Jiao’s expression froze.
She was not surprised that her mother could see that she had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, she did not expect that her mother could even see that she had cultivated a demon technique!
Hiss!
Qin Jiao could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. She had indeed been a little careless.
She definitely could not reveal the existence of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator because she was worried that the Immortal Cultivation Simulator had intelligence. What if she revealed its existence and it abandoned her?
There was no place for her to cry.
Thus, she could only say, “When I was in Qinghe County, I met a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator from Sacred Heart Palace. At that time, he was being pursued by an Immortal cultivator. I stopped that demon cultivator and fought him.”
“After killing him, I obtained a Cultivation Method from him that allowed me to control corpses. Thus… I tried it out curiously.”
“As for breaking through, I’m your daughter! Isn’t it natural for me to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?”
“It can’t be that there are still people who haven’t reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 17, right?”
After saying that, Qin Jiao took out the Foundation Establishment corpse and let it appear in front of Zhengxin Palace Master.
Luckily, Qin Jiao had specially dressed the corpse long ago, or else it would have revealed an eye-piercing scene.
She looked at the Foundation Establishment corpse covered in scarlet runes and lines.
The Palace Master of Zhengxin Palace narrowed her eyes.
Sacred Heart Palace…
As the Palace Master of Zhengxin Palace, she was no stranger to this name.
Even the corpse had been laid out, so she temporarily believed Qin Jiao’s words.
She also reminded, “Don’t blindly practice these things in the future. The Cultivation Methods of demon cultivators always have some fatal flaws. These fatal flaws will take your life in battle.”
At this point, a rarely seen look of satisfaction appeared on Zhengxin Palace Master’s face.
It only lasted for a moment.
She continued, “It’s not bad that you can reach the first layer of the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 17.”
“You are my daughter. It’s indeed a matter of course.”
Qin Jiao stuck out her tongue.
Mother is really narcissistic!
If it was not for the Immortal Cultivation Simulator, would she have been able to break through to the first layer of the Foundation Establishment stage?
I would have to wait two years!
