Throughout the entire night, Yan Xiaoru, who self-proclaimed himself the ‘Netherworld Old Demon’, guided Li Muyang in his cultivation and strictly corrected his mistakes.
The 《Netherworld Demon Manual》, a top-tier demonic technique, was too obscure and difficult to comprehend.
For someone like Li Muyang, who had no foundation, even the simplest entry-level practice was extremely challenging.
Previously, he had been practicing blindly on his own, managing to achieve some semblance of form.
But now, with Yan Xiaoru pointing out his mistakes, Li Muyang realized he had made many small errors.
Although these mistakes were not serious, they accumulated and hindered his cultivation, preventing him from unleashing the true power of the 《Netherworld Demon Manual》.
By day, he hid in his inn’s room playing games, and by night, he went to meet Yan Xiaoru for cultivation guidance.
Li Muyang’s life suddenly became full and busy.
The vacation plans he had originally set were forced to be put on hold.
Li Yuechan, his little sister, had tried several times to invite Li Muyang to go to the temple outside the city for an outing, mentioning that Ning Wan’er would join them, but Li Muyang declined every time.Playing games and cultivating every day had already drained all of Li Muyang’s energy. He had no mood to bother with anything else.
If it weren’t for the fact that he could go without sleep after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, an ordinary person really couldn’t withstand such non-stop round-the-clock activity.
Besides gaming and cultivating, Li Muyang also had to find ways to get delicious snacks for Yan Xiaoru.
Bringing some tasty treats to Wuliuxiang every night when meeting Yan Xiaoru had almost become an unspoken agreement between the two.
The foodie Yan Xiaoru never refused the snacks Li Muyang brought her.
Li Muyang was diligent, always buying different varieties and always able to present a new delicacy.
Tianjiao City was large and bustling enough to support a wide variety of snacks and delicacies due to the demands of its vibrant market.
Li Muyang, varying his preparations, had unknowingly bought twenty different kinds of gourmet foods.
He had almost made a complete round of the famous snacks and pastries in Tianjiao City.
During these twenty days, Li Muyang finally figured out the killing pattern of the evil creatures in the Purple Immortal Village.
The most recent time, he was just one step away from meeting that high priest.
The breakthrough of the Purple Immortal Village was right in front of him.
And in reality, Li Muyang finally received Yan Xiaoru’s approval.
“Your technique is now flawlessly executed without any mistakes.”
Under the moonlight, the woman in a black robe, wearing an ice sculpture mask, sat on the veranda, speaking with satisfaction: “Although your comprehension is a bit slow, you’re diligent and focused in your cultivation. Perhaps you could become a significant figure in the future.”
Yan Xiaoru was in a good mood, giving Li Muyang a favorable evaluation.
“However, you don’t need to come tomorrow night.”
Yan Xiaoru said: “I will be busy with some matters in the coming days, which is a good opportunity for you to take a few days off. You’ve worked hard during this period, so rest well.”
“After some time, I will come to find you again.”
The masked Yan Xiaoru had a gentle look in her eyes.
Clearly, Li Muyang’s diligent cultivation over this period had earned her approval.
The night’s cultivation ended like this, and as Yan Xiaoru disappeared into the dawn, Li Muyang stretched lazily and stepped out the door.
He routinely returned to the residence where all the inner disciples were staying and enjoyed today’s spiritual rice meal.
After chatting perfunctorily with his little sister Li Yuechan and once again declining her invitation to go out for a leisurely trip, Li Muyang left the house after finishing his meal.
After wandering around the streets in a pretense for a few rounds, Li Muyang headed straight for the inn where he was staying, entered his room, and started playing games.
Inside the quiet room, the man sitting cross-legged on the soft couch with his eyes slightly closed seemed to be cultivating.
Li Yuechan secretly watched him through a crack in the window for a while before turning away with a look of disappointment.
The voice of a mysterious woman suddenly rang in her ear, tinged with a hint of teasing.
“…Your brother is quite diligent. You’ve invited him so many times, yet he remains unmoved. You said he used to be so infatuated with Ning Wan’er.”
“It seems that the incident in Jiuyuan City had a great impact on him. The impulsive and restless Li Muyang of the past is dead. The current Li Muyang is steady and patient, indifferent to the glitzy world of Tianjiao City. No wonder he could advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly.”
“Indeed, a man can mature overnight.”
Li Yuechan heard the light laughter of her senior.
The girl sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with complexity.
“My brother…”
Li Yuechan hesitated as if she had something to say.
But in the end, she just shook her head.
“Never mind, let’s not talk about my brother.”
Li Yuechan turned to leave, saying, “Senior, I have stabilized my foundation over the past six months, and now I can try to break through to a higher realm.”
“Given the mix of good and bad in Tianjiao City, we can choose a suitable target to strike.”
Li Yuechan narrowed her eyes and licked her lips: “Now that I have entered the Golden Core realm, if I can break through to the Cave Profound realm, I will truly be able to stand firm in this world.”
“And I can help you find that lost treasure.”
The Golden Core realm was already extremely rare in the cultivation world, with all its members being core figures of major sects.
Above the Golden Core, the Cave Profound realm was often the realm of the sect leaders in many smaller sects.
Those in the Cave Profound realm were considered significant figures even in a major demonic sect like the Demon Refining Sect.
As long as Li Yuechan steps into the Cave’s Profound realm, she will have enough confidence to help her senior find that lost treasure.
This was also one of the initial agreements between her and her senior.
Under the sunlight, on the bustling streets of Tianjiao City, Li Yuechan, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked among the crowd and quickly disappeared.
……
Meanwhile, in the guest room, Li Muyang, with his eyes half-closed, stood at the pinnacle of the Purple Immortal Village.
Through his journey of slaughter, he had preemptively known and understood all the evil creatures’ methods of attack and ways of killing, and he had countered them accordingly.
From the gates of the Purple Immortal Village to the presence of the old priest, it took Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli less than ten minutes without any pause.
All the evil creatures that appeared along the way were smoothly dealt with by Li Muyang.
Not a single one could get within half a meter of Li Muyang.
The old priest in front of the ancestral temple was slightly surprised by the ease and confidence with which Li Muyang moved.
“You… you have the gift of foresight?!”
The old priest looked at Li Muyang in amazement.
If it wasn’t for foresight, there was no way to explain everything Li Muyang had just accomplished.
The strange and mysterious Purple Immortal Village seemed fragile and easily defeated before him.
Only someone with foresight an all-knowing being could achieve all this.
Li Muyang looked at the old priest calmly and smiled, “Elder Sangmuge, can you now tell us the whereabouts of General Zhong?”
“You promised that after tonight, once you’re ready, you would provide us with the clues.”
“Are you ready now?”
Li Muyang, with a gentle smile on his face, stood confidently amidst the sinister Purple Immortal Village.
His smile, like the sun bursting forth, instantly dispelled the cold and eerie atmosphere of the Purple Immortal Village.
