Chapter 477: Chapter 303: Not Talking About Martial Virtues_2
No, wrong again, of the Foundation Establishment candidates, only two died, with one exception.
He had foreknowledge, used some methods, and took Spirit Medicine he shouldn’t have been able to obtain, narrowly saving his life.
He is still gravely injured at this time.
However, he immediately consumed an Essence Blood Pearl, Healing Elixir, and such.
His Status recovered somewhat immediately.
He appeared entirely unsurprised by these changes.
He rapidly cast a Spell.
The nine Flame Bone Demons of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment had already been linked with each other, completing the final step. With the Spell, they were somewhat restless, but ultimately they unwillingly settled down.
Held in his hand, a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, establishing a connection, causing these nine Flame Bone Demons to calm down. They transformed into thumb-sized objects, forming a bracelet string, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief, with a trace of delight flashing in his eyes.
However, Li Wushuang, or rather, Small Knife, had already arrived behind him.
The man turned around to see Li Wushuang, yet he was not surprised.
He immediately performed a grand bow, respectfully saying, "Greetings to my master, thank you, master."
"Long time no see, Ten Thousand Sceneries," Small Knife said with a smile.
Ten Thousand Sceneries could only wryly smile, sighing with emotion.
Upon this reunion, everything had changed; indeed, the reincarnation of a Great Power.
That’s right, he was Ten Thousand Sceneries. Back then, Small Knife had parted from him, but a part of his body remained inside him, namely a Bone.
At that time, Ten Thousand Sceneries was ambitious, but reality was harsh.
Although he sacrificed a few villages, he was beaten into a stray dog.
In the end, he almost lost his life.
Later, an Outer Disciple, who was also the son of the headman of his village, used some method.
It should be that he had left something on him long ago and found him.
The gravely injured Ten Thousand Sceneries eventually chose to submit, becoming a Demon Servant, but he negotiated conditions.
That’s how he succeeded in Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, he obtained several Demon Cultivation Techniques from that Outer Disciple.
Among them was the White Bone Undying Body.
If Great Perfection is achieved, just a single White Bone is needed to slowly revive through contact with fresh blood or similar means.
That Outer Disciple had practiced something but absolutely couldn’t have achieved the Great Perfection; otherwise, he could have directly become an Inner Sect Disciple.
Regardless, Small Knife wouldn’t give him a chance and dismembered him.
When Small Knife departed from Ten Thousand Sceneries, he left behind a part of his Bone, quickly establishing a connection, transferring information, thus enabling a collaboration between them.
Each got what they needed. Small Knife obtained the Demon Cultivation Technique from Ten Thousand Sceneries, something Small Knife valued greatly.
These could all be analyzed when brought into Personal Space.
Although the few techniques were ones that only Outer Disciples could grasp, they were infinitely profound, indeed worthy of Demon Heaven.
Ten Thousand Sceneries didn’t suffer a loss either. Small Knife helped him escape the control of the Outer Disciple and also acquired the possessions of that Outer Disciple.
Of course, all the Demon Soldiers were killed.
He quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
The Outer Disciple was destroyed, and a few Magical Artifacts on him were also ruined. However, the Dharma Artifact Level Demon Artifacts on the other two Foundation Establishment Demon Servants remained intact, becoming his spoils.
The Outer Disciple and these corpses naturally would not be wasted.
To a Demon Cultivator, they were all great materials.
In the end, he looked gratefully at Small Knife one more time and left directly.
An agreement was already reached. Whenever he obtains Cultivation Techniques from Demon Heaven, he will share them with Small Knife.
He didn’t discuss the benefits.
But naturally, to give him sufficient motivation, in the end, Small Knife gave him five Spirit Talismans at the Early Stage of the Fourth Realm.
A Spirit Talisman from the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment alone is worth ten thousand Spirit Stones, while one from the Early Stage of Golden Core is even fifty thousand Spirit Stones apiece.
Such a price isn’t something an ordinary family would be willing to spend, at best, Family Heads might carry them for self-preservation.
Of course, Small Knife only bought samples, these are all imitations.
Currently, Manufacturing them is still hard, costs are high, but for Small Knife’s personal use, this is naturally not an issue.
Afterward, Small Knife left the scene, most of his consciousness entering his Personal Space, beginning to study those Cultivation Techniques.
The White Bone Undying Body seemed very compatible with him, feeling that achieving Great Perfection shouldn’t be a problem.
However, the next step, the White Bone Undying Body, is only attainable by Inner Sect Disciples. He hopes Ten Thousand Sceneries, with his investment, will not disappoint him.
At this moment, Ten Thousand Sceneries naturally had no plans to drift outside; he focused entirely on fleeing.
He knew that during this major operation, Golden Core Cultivators would inevitably hunt them down, likely more than one or two.
So he planned to return directly.
With these gains, his identity as an Outer Disciple naturally wasn’t an issue, and he could obtain other choice rewards.
Adding the harvest here, in a short time, his foundation among Outer Disciples isn’t low.
Instead of exchanging for a Demon Treasure, perhaps it’s better to get Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, or Divine Techniques.
Although he couldn’t grasp them immediately, these could be exchanged for sufficient benefits from some Grandmaster.
Thus calculated, his biggest ace in hand, joining hands to set an array to destroy an Early Stage Golden Core Flame Bone Demon, seemed less appealing.
Just being given five Concealing Breath Talismans of the Early Stage Golden Core would be enough to eliminate it.
Moreover, the other party was generous, providing exchanges, with a clear procedure.
So, an idea arose in Ten Thousand Sceneries’ mind.
Once this idea popped up, he couldn’t suppress it.
However, he still didn’t dawdle, escaping back in one breath.
Being cautious, with a Concealing Breath Talisman on him, at the Early Stage Golden Core level, he evaded pursuit and made it back safely.
The trial task was completed, and he became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Naturally, the opportunity to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was exchanged for other rewards.
On the way, he had already decided on his demands, exchanging this reward to request an Inner Sect Disciple to take action.
Using the remains of that Outer Disciple, combined with other Demon Soldiers’ bodies, along with the harvest from outside so far.
Nearly exhausting everything.
It was too heartless.
Finally exchanged for a custom-made satisfactory Demon Artifact, the Three Spirit Bone Body.
But the other party also mastered the White Bone Undying Body, reaching Great Perfection as an Inner Sect Disciple, not just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.
A high payout for taking action is also normal.
Perfection can be achieved with diligent cultivation and comprehension, but Great Perfection requires opportunity.
Without opportunity, no matter how long you cultivate, you won’t master it.
Additionally, becoming an Outer Disciple naturally means one can learn the Cultivation Techniques that only Outer Disciples can grasp, with a choice of one free.
The rest must be exchanged through Contribution.
Having mastered the White Bone Undying Body, without qualification for the next step of the White Bone Undying Body, he chose the White Bone Cloning Skill, as he had planned long ago.
This White Bone Cloning Skill requires the White Bone Undying Body to reach Great Perfection to unleash its full power.
In this aspect, Ten Thousand Sceneries couldn’t compare, of course.
But he had the Three Spirit Bone Body.
This complements the White Bone Undying Body, not only could it be used for protection against death but also assisted in comprehending the White Bone Undying Body.
After becoming an Outer Disciple, he could naturally accept a village, allowing parents and family to enjoy a superior lifestyle.
He could even enable them to cultivate.
Therefore, Ten Thousand Sceneries naturally chose his birth village, where the Outer Disciple had already fallen, so there was no issue with succession.
However, the original headman’s family couldn’t be touched within a century and still enjoyed the welfare of an Outer Disciple’s family, even though the Outer Disciple was already deceased.
Nonetheless, Ten Thousand Sceneries was still delighted.
He could return gloriously.
Reflecting on this, he couldn’t wait, feeling more excited than becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a swelling sense of kinship.
Thus, Ten Thousand Sceneries didn’t hesitate any longer and headed home.
Naturally, returning gloriously, putting on airs, and facing those who doubted him seemed to give life value.
Watching as his parents and family enjoyed a good life, taking pride as they did.
This gave him more motivation to continue cultivating and progressing.
Only by becoming stronger could he acquire better things, ensuring that his parents and family could also be powerful would not be an issue.
This was his obsession.
With these obsessions and attachments, the negative impacts of being a Demon Cultivator diminished considerably.
Additionally, by becoming an Outer Disciple, he acquired corresponding means to dispel negative effects.
These Cultivation Techniques weren’t a choice; they were essential studies for Outer Disciples.
Being tyrannical within the village was mandatory.
He collected several villagers as Demon Soldiers, yet Ten Thousand Sceneries remained unsatisfied, feeling too weak, hence roamed around.
Seeking trouble, he easily collected Qi Cultivators from surrounding villages as Demon Soldiers during their outings.
However, they were merely Qi Cultivation Level, able to do minor tasks but unable to become his arm.
Having just become an Outer Disciple, Ten Thousand Sceneries had ample time to relax.
