Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 82: 82. A man does not easily change his name, a gen

Chapter 82: 82. A man does not easily change his na, a gentleman does not lightly change his allegiances.

After the Tree Demon perished, the success notification sound for the task promptly followed.

[Successfully eliminated the Mystic Yin Tree Demon]

[Reward: Male Valor*8, Purple Card*1]

[Completed the side mission—Demon Extermination]

[Reward: 1 Righteous Reputation]

Completing this side mission of Demon Extermination each ti would award a point of Righteous Reputation. Keep this up and wouldn’t one beco a universally respected paragon of virtue in the future?

And since there’s a side mission, there must be a main mission too, though it hasn’t shown up yet.

He got a reward of a purple card, but Fang Zhou didn’t rush to draw it, since his luck had been all used up before; he needed to accumulate so good karma first.

After the Tree Demon died, the bark it left behind was swiftly taken by Ling Xiaoyue with the speed of thunder. Although she didn’t show any signs of happiness, Fang Zhou could feel through their psychic connection that she was very pleased and delighted.

That bark must be sothing valuable; it’s a pity Fang Zhou didn’t understand it, otherwise he would have demanded a share.

He secretly approached Han Li to inquire; this Han Li was practically the human Google of the Cultivation World, seemingly capable of answering any question.

But even Google occasionally returns irrelevant answers, and this ti Han Li was a bit out of the loop, not quite clear on the use of that bark, but she still explained so information about demons to Fang Zhou.

The remains of certain demons are very valuable materials, useful for alchemy, artifact refining, and cultivation. Major Sects generally organize their disciples to hunt demons and monsters periodically, and sotis they even cooperate with other sects.

On the one hand, it’s Demon Extermination, and on the other, it’s to enhance the disciples’ practical experience and to collect materials.

Whereas hermit practitioners generally wouldn’t provoke demons and monsters if not necessary, as they’re alone and vulnerable; getting injured or encountering danger could easily cost them their lives. If they needed any materials, they could only save money and buy them from several established markets in the Cultivation World.

Since he couldn’t figure out the value of that bark, Fang Zhou decided to turn a blind eye to it.

He then addressed Hui Neng, the monk who was barely alive: “Spill it, who told you to guard this place? Once you tell , I’ll let you go; I can swear a Heart Demon Oath.”

However, Hui Neng’s attitude completely changed; he glared at Fang Zhou with hatred-filled eyes: “You dare to kill the Mystic Yin Tree Demon, you’ve caused a severe disaster!”

Fang Zhou waited a few seconds, seeing that Hui Neng had no follow-up, he kicked him: “Keep talking, how would we know the extent of the trouble if you don’t tell us?”

Hui Neng stayed silent, but Han Li beside him beca worried; Hui Neng’s attitude confird her suspicions that Hui Neng had been instructed to guard the Tree Demon here, and the Tree Demon was probably soone’s property.

Ling Xiaoyue also stepped forward, mocking Hui Neng with a sneer: “You rats that only dare to show your tails, do you really have the audacity to spook people? Unless the Three Great Holy Lands unite, there’s nothing that could be called a disaster in my eyes.”

Hearing such a domineering statent, Han Li looked on with awe, never expecting Senior Ling to be so powerful, not even afraid of the legendary Three Great Holy Lands.

Fang Zhou, on the other hand, glanced sidelong at Ling Xiaoyue, thinking that she was all talk, and if there was real danger, she would run faster than anyone else.

He suddenly asked: “So, the Tree Demon was soone’s property?”

Ling Xiaoyue leaned against Fang Zhou, resting her elbow on his shoulder, exhaling like orchids: “Of course, the Mystic Yin Tree isn’t so common item. It only grows in extrely yin and mystical places, priceless. How could a broken place like Wild Tomb Ridge have it grow naturally? Surely soone planted it to absorb the yin energy from the imperial tombs in the mountains.”

Saying this, she even gave Hui Neng a kick: “Monk, I’m not wrong, am I?”

Hui Neng was kicked over and lay on the ground, letting out bursts of cold laughter: “The Mystic Yin Tree Demon is dead. I can’t live, and neither can you. You all must die and accompany in burial.”

Fang Zhou’s refusal to yield made Fang Zhou frown: “What about your Truth-telling Technique? Can’t you use it on her?”

Ling Xiaoyue gave her disciple a contemptuous glance, not deigning to explain.

Beside them, Han Li whispered: “The Truth-telling Technique only works against those below the Qi Refining Realm; it’s ineffective after Foundation Establishnt.”

Tch, I thought it was sothing impressive. Turns out it’s just a trash skill, only good for bullying the small fry.

“Do you really refuse to speak?”

Fang Zhou stared at Hui Neng, pondering what thod to use to make her talk.

However, Ling Xiaoyue suddenly said: “No need to waste your breath, disciple. This monk has a death wish. Let your teacher see her off.”

Hui Neng slowly sat up cross-legged in a dignified posture, and spoke in a deep voice: “Before I die, I hope the three benefactors can fulfill a small wish of this poor monk. Who exactly are you, and what sect do you belong to?”

Just as Ling Xiaoyue was about to answer, Fang Zhou spoke up before her: “Na unchanging, sitting title the sa, we are all disciples of Xuanji Sect.”

Han Li appeared puzzled, not understanding why Fang Zhou said this, while Ling Xiaoyue glanced at him with a teasing smile, without objecting.

Monk Hui Neng lowered her eyelids: “Xuanji Sect? Good, this monk will rember it and await the arrival of you distinguished guests in Avici Hell. Make your move.”

Ling Xiaoyue stepped forward and patted Monk Hui Neng’s head gently.

Monk Hui Neng imdiately exhaled her last breath, without any external injury visible on the surface.

Fang Zhou felt goosebumps watching. Ling Xiaoyue always casually patted him with her hand when she had nothing to do. If she accidentally used too much force, it would be tragic. From now on, he must never let her pat so carelessly.

After dealing with Hui Neng, the matter here was essentially settled, leaving only minor issues remaining.

When dawn broke, Fang Zhou went alone back to the old site of Lanruo Temple.

The demons and spectres that had lingered around this place had scattered like monkeys when a tree falls, fleeing cleanly without leaving one behind.

These demonic beings were initially forcibly conscripted to Lanruo Temple by the Tree Demon and the gourd children, brought here against their will. Now with the Tree Demon dead, they naturally ran as far as they could.

Fang Zhou first went to Ning Caichen’s hidden basent, finding it empty, with its occupants gone. Presumably, after Nie Xiaoqian retrieved her ashes urn, she imdiately took Ning Caichen and fled far away, not wishing to linger in Lanruo Temple for another second.

Although there was no farewell in person, Fang Zhou still found a note left behind by Ning Caichen in the basent.

It was written that she and Nie Xiaoqian would return to their hotown in Zhe County to settle down, and that Fang Immortal was welco to visit if he had the ti.

Fang Zhou pocketed the note, then headed towards the dungeon.

In the dungeon, Yan Chixia’s corpse remained. Two days had passed, and except for the absence of life, Yan Chixia’s corpse was neither decaying nor rotting. The skin was still soft as though alive, just without warmth, sowhat suggesting the legendary Golden Body Immortal.

Naturally, Fang Zhou would not disrespect Yan Chixia’s corpse. After all, he was considered his teacher in the Dao, and moreover, Fang Zhou was not that morbid.

Taking Yan Chixia’s corpse from the dungeon, Fang Zhou made a simple coffin out of tree roots and found a scenic spot near Lanruo Temple to bury her.
