Chapter 4: Demonic Cultivator Coercion, Sword Technique Reward

Han Jue and Xing Hongxuan came to a deserted woods, Han Jue feeling anxious and terrified that Xing Hongxuan would make that kind of request.

Xing Hongxuan turned to look at him, her gaze burning.

Han Jue did not dare to meet her gaze.

Xing Hongxuan smiled and said, "Little brother, don't be nervous. I am not trying to make things difficult for you. I want to ask you, are you willing to be a slave in this Herb Garden for the rest of your life?"

Han Jue fell silent.

Does this mean she wants me to bow my head and become her plaything in the palm of her hand?

Xing Hongxuan stepped forward and said in his ear, "Help me do one thing, and I will take you to Cultivate, shaking off your Mortal identity."

"What matter?"

Xing Hongxuan's lips opened and closed, and no sound came out, but Han Jue heard it clearly.

"Help me get Elder Tie's pill manual, and I will take you away from the Jade Purity Sect to the Demonic Sect. In the future, I will treat you well. Under me, you won't suffer even the slightest bit. If your Aptitude is not bad and you achieve success in your cultivation, we can even become Dao Companions."

Voice Transmission Technique!

Han Jue widened his eyes.

This old hag turned out to be a demonic Cultivator!

Han Jue was in a mess.

This matter was no joke. If he agreed, he would offend the entire Jade Purity Sect.

If he refused, Xing Hongxuan would definitely not let him walk out of this woods.

Elder Tie was not here, and this was only the Outer Sect of the Jade Purity Sect. Even if he shouted until his voice cracked, probably no one would respond.

Xing Hongxuan did not rush either, walking around Han Jue and waiting patiently.

Han Jue was weighing his chances of winning against Xing Hongxuan.

Both were at the 7th Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, but he had no Spells or Magical Artifacts. How could he possibly defeat Xing Hongxuan?

He couldn't confront her head-on.

Han Jue feigned panic and said, "I don't know the location of that thing, and besides, Zhang Ge is still…"

Xing Hongxuan showed a satisfied expression. Han Jue did not say the word pill manual, showing that he was still quite smart.

"It doesn't matter, there is still time. I can wait for you," Xing Hongxuan smiled softly.

She took out a Medicinal Pill and said, "This pill can help you open your Spiritual Root. Take it first, consider it a greeting gift."

Han Jue looked at the pill; it looked just like chocolate.

It was definitely poison!

Han Jue had no way to refuse and could only feed it into his mouth.

He wrapped the Medicinal Pill with spiritual power to prevent it from melting.

After swallowing it into his stomach, Han Jue opened his mouth, intentionally letting Xing Hongxuan see, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Fairy! I will definitely do my utmost!"

Damn it!

Wait until I Cultivate for another year, and I'll let you know how powerful I am!

Han Jue would never join the Demonic Sect just like this.

What he wanted was immortality, not a life of adventures.

Xing Hongxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, reached out to stroke Han Jue's cheek, and smiled, "Little brother is really sensible. Be good, in the future I will train you as my husband."

Han Jue was excited.

But in his heart, he was disgusted.

Stinking hag, do you even deserve me?

After being flirted with and groped by Xing Hongxuan for a good while, the two finally returned to the Herb Garden.

The male Cultivator looked at Han Jue suspiciously, his brows tightly furrowed.

Xing Hongxuan smiled mysteriously and continued to sit in meditation to Cultivate.

Han Jue walked into the Herb Garden, and lines of text suddenly appeared before his eyes:

[You are threatened by the demonic Cultivator Xing Hongxuan. You have the following choices]

[One: Steal the pill manual, gain Xing Hongxuan's favor, and gain a 5-star hatred degree from the Jade Purity Sect]

[Two: Absolutely do not obey, do not let Xing Hongxuan get the pill manual. After Xing Hongxuan leaves, you can obtain the sword technique—Divine Sword Finger]

Huh?

There are choice rewards?

Not bad!

Han Jue's eyes lit up.

This made him even more firm in his thought: absolutely do not obey.

…

Night fell.

Han Jue returned to his room and activated the barrier function.

He spat out the Medicinal Pill from his stomach and tucked it into his belt.

Afterwards, he walked over to the wooden bed, sat down, and took out a steamed bun to eat.

He had already reached Bigu, but in order to put on an act, he still had to eat.

It was late at night.

After the five slaves fell asleep, Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

With his Aptitude, surpassing Xing Hongxuan would by no means be a difficult task.

Over the next few days, Han Jue labored as usual.

Zhang Ge kept staying in Elder Tie's attic to Cultivate, giving Han Jue an excuse not to enter the building.

Xing Hongxuan didn't seem to be in a rush either.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

[Name: Han Jue]

[lifespan: 18 / 85]

[Race: Mortal]

…

Han Jue made a Breakthrough to the 8th Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and all four elemental Spiritual Roots reached the 8th Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

It is worth mentioning that his lifespan also increased by twenty years, which filled him with pleasant surprise.

The feeling of spiritual power growing rapidly was truly wonderful.

In contrast, Xing Hongxuan and Elder Tie's cultivation had not made any progress.

This was the difference between a Genius and a Mortal.

Han Jue was secretly proud.

Indeed, only by enduring loneliness could one become stronger.

If he had gone to Cultivate immortality as a Mortal right from the beginning, he might not have even reached the 4th Layer of the Qi Refining Realm by now.

That night.

Han Jue heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He immediately lay down and turned off the barrier.

"I am ready to lure Zhang Ge away, and after that you go in and search."

Xing Hongxuan's voice reached Han Jue's ears.

Han Jue opened his eyes and quickly climbed up.

Damn it.

He still couldn't avoid it.

Han Jue waited patiently.

Having reached the 8th Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, he had already Cultivated Divine Sense, and his senses surpassed ordinary people.

He faintly heard the sound of tables and chairs colliding from the distant attic.

"You can make your move now."

Xing Hongxuan's voice came over. Immediately afterwards, Han Jue perceived Xing Hongxuan and Zhang Ge flashing away from the eaves.

Han Jue quietly got up, preparing to go and put on a show.

After cautiously leaving the house, he looked toward the entrance of the Herb Garden and found that male Cultivator lying under a tree, unconscious or dead.

"Such a weak passerby."

Han Jue inwardly complained.

He walked toward the attic.

Elder Tie's attic had two floors. Just like a villa, it was luxurious and magnificent, filled with all kinds of porcelain and scrolls. After entering the house, Han Jue began to wander around blindly.

He didn't put his heart into it at all.

Even if there really were treasures, he had nowhere to put them.

After sitting for half an hour, Han Jue got up and continued rummaging through boxes and cabinets, at least to put up an appearance.

Another half hour passed.

Xing Hongxuan came back.

She hurried into the house, found Han Jue, and asked, "Did you find it?"

Han Jue stood beside a vase, turned around and said, "I can't find it. I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything."

He suddenly noticed that Xing Hongxuan was covered in bloodstains.

Could Zhang Ge have been killed by her?

Han Jue instinctively stepped back, and as a result, accidentally knocked over the vase on the small table.

Clang—

The vase fell to the ground and shattered.

Han Jue saw a Secret Manual appear among the vase fragments, with two large characters engraved on it.

Pill Manual.

Silence!

The room instantly fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Han Jue was stunned, extremely embarrassed.

This…

Damn it!

Is this how Elder Tie hides things?

Xing Hongxuan shifted her gaze from the pill manual, looked at Han Jue, her eyes gloomy.

Han Jue said pleasantly surprised, "It was actually hidden in the vase! This old man really knows how to hide things!"

Quietly publishing the book, unexpectedly someone collected and invested, squeak a sound?
