For Xu Shu, this stinky attack wasn’t much in terms of threat.
But it was extrely insulting.
He subconsciously thought of the White Emperor Army mbers whose mouths he’d covered with dung in the past during the ’Flying Across the Sky’ event. (Note 1)
Karma cos around...
"Cough!"
In a flash, the stench in the air was ignited, quickly burning away; the sll of char and decay mixed together, making it even more overwhelming.
Fortunately, Xu Shu’s adaptability was strong, and within just two rounds, he had gauged the strength of this gray-haired rat monster, estimating it to be at the second-stage middle-late level, comparable to the strongest among the four Yan surnad people he encountered at Xinglong Manor, "Yan Xiong."
"Second-stage late, probably at a level close to 30! In terms of level alone, there’s a big gap between and it, but luckily, I’m a Legendary Iron Armor. Fighting beyond my level isn’t difficult for !"
With this thought, Xu Shu’s intent to kill grew stronger, and the ’Killing Heart Burning’ fla on his body flared up, using the flas to disperse the surrounding stench.
Rat monster "Director Yang"’s small, beady eyes darted around as he kept observing his enemy’s movents and saw a figure forced to the ceiling by the stench.
Before he could celebrate his success, he saw the person fall from mid-air, landing on him, and dealt a swift elbow strike to the left side of his neck.
Bang!
In an instant, Director Yang’s skull was struck with such force that it nearly ford a noticeable dent; he was buzzing and dazed for a few seconds.
When he ca to, Xu Shu was already seated at the waist of the gray rat, a large hand like an iron clamp gripping its throat, rendering it immobile.
Pop!
Xu Shu tried tugging at the rat’s face, the skin stretching like rubber and snapping back.
Clearly, its face was genuine and not so illusion created by special Transcendent powers, but a true ’monster.’
"Is it really a monster?" Xu Shu squinted his eyes, both unexpected and yet logical.
Previously noticing the human-like spirituality in it so sparse, turned out this was the reason.
The skin and flesh were fake, a ’suit’ made from the blood and flesh of living people!
Clearly not human, yet able to operate in the safe zone without the Star Tower locking onto it...
If it were before, Xu Shu would have subconsciously wondered if this weasel was another kind of "Demon Chosen" high-level type.
However, after entering the Penglai District, his horizons expanded, knowing that this "Ten Thousand Techniques Penglai" had many special cultivators, so of whom rely on ’living monsters’ as a base to refine them, calling it "Living Cultivation"!
For instance, those snake cultivations at Xinglong Manor are a kind of living cultivation.
In this state, these "monsters," in essence, have already been refined by the Transcendents and aren’t considered independent monsters for judgnt, so don’t face extermination—in other words, the Transcendent is the ’host,’ and they are refined into "living curse tools," no longer independent life forms, their body and will completely controlled by the host.
To be fair, at first, Xu Shu was quite curious about this thod and had done an experint, which was a replica of ’Big Black Snake Mother.’
At that ti, the Snake Mother duplicate probably thought, if this man could do such things to her and even hang her around his waist into the safe zone, he must be planning to refine her into a "Deceitful Servant."
As for the snake cultivations calling their snakes "Snake Servants," it was because it rolled off the tongue; in reality, the scientific na was "Deceitful Servant," with so places also calling it "Mysterious Servant."
Of course, the na is just a designation; it doesn’t matter what they’re called.
Like, "Iron Armor" was once also called "Shield Mountain," "Iron Armor Little Treasure," "Human Armor," and so on, it’s all the sa principle; the na isn’t important as long as the aning is conveyed clearly.
In short, the Snake Mother felt there was no way she could beat Xu Shu, so she didn’t resist, waiting calmly to enter the city, preparing to "deny yet welco" and beco his deceitful servant, looking for a way to survive, being very obedient along the way.
The outco was utterly unexpected; this dog of a man was completely ungrateful—the root must all be pressed in, yet he didn’t intend to walk this living cultivation path from the very beginning!
That day upon entering the city, Uncle Yong, possibly the ’Director of Liuyi Inn,’ warned Xu Shu that the Living Cultivation thod was extrely perilous, a harmful, deviant path that eroded one’s lifespan, and any carelessness might cause catastrophe.
Now it seems true indeed, the living cultivation advances easily, power increases rapidly, but the demand for resources is high too, quickly leading one to be driven by desire, committing atrocities.
The "Fetus" Elevation Pill at Xinglong Manor was still vivid in his mind; there was no way Xu Shu would follow such an evil route.
The reason he brought the Snake Mother replica into the city was to test whether this Star Tower was reliable—once bitten, twice shy, he worried this Star Tower might be negligent like his hotown, and just occupying a position without fulfilling duties.
The final outco left Xu Shu very satisfied; the feedback from the Star Tower ca very fast, directly striking the Snake Mother replica into pieces.
This proved that in D9B3 District, there wasn’t that scenario like his hotown, where the upper levels had already been infiltrated, leading to a tardy Star Tower and ultimately causing a disaster.
So, here in the Penglai District, it was very safe, with no second-ranked monster within the range of the Star Tower, and not a single monster within the confines of the safe zone’s boundaries.
Since Director Yang was a monster, it ant it must be a deceitful servant of a Living Cultivator.
"What are you doing down here? Are you also refining Elevation Pills with the children here? What’s your master’s na, their strength, what profession of Transcendent? And what’s the password for the tunnel entrance? Speak honestly, and I might spare you!" Xu Shu gripped Director Yang’s throat, unleashing a series of questions.
