Chapter – 85
A Psychic-Type Crimson Spirit Fruit?
“…Within the sect, we are harmonious; brothers and sisters are as close as a family, helping each other, cultivating the Dao together!”
Lin Qingfeng’s speech continued:
“Whenever someone is in trouble, support comes from all directions, with not a hint of selfishness!”
Su Linger immediately telepathically contradicted him:
[Su Linger: Don’t believe Senior Brother’s lies! When he first brought me into the sect, he killed several fellow disciples along the way!]
[Su Linger: Later, to put on a show, he killed another one! I even saw with my own eyes how they used fellow disciples as alchemy material or sword embryos, throwing them into the furnace to make pills and magical treasures!]
Wang Xiedi was shocked.
“Close as a family?!”
Killing several fellow disciples is ‘close as a family’?!
Does the Demon Sect’s definition of “family” have some serious issues?!
Could it be like one of those wealthy families where they stab each other over inheritance?!
Too terrifying!
[Wang Xiedi: Thanks for the heads-up, Senior Sister! Otherwise, I might have already offended Senior Brother. In the future, if I have the chance, I will repay your lifesaving favor.]
[Su Linger: No! It’s really not that extreme!]
Thus, an extremely strange scene unfolded at the sect’s gate.
The senior brother spoke eloquently in the open, painting a picture of the splendor of the immortal path;
The junior sister, in secret, ruthlessly exposed the bloody truth.
This bizarre dual narration made Wang Xiedi’s perception of the Guixi Sect plunge into a terrifying abyss faster than ever.
“…Disciple Wa, do you understand now?”
Lin Qingfeng concluded his speech.
“Senior Brother, you heard wrong. My name is actually Wang Xiedi, not… Wa Disciple.”
Su Linger absentmindedly nodded and subconsciously said, “Yes, his name is Wang Xiedi, not Wa Disciple.”
Wang Xiedi: “Correct!”
Lin Qingfeng: “I heard it. It’s still Wa Disciple, isn’t it?”
Wang Xiedi: “It’s Wang Xiedi!”
Lin Qingfeng: “Got it, Wa Disciple.”
Wang Xiedi: “Not Wa Disciple!”
Lin Qingfeng nodded decisively: “Got it, Wa Disciple, understood, Wa Disciple, alright, Wa Disciple!”
Wang Xiedi: “……”
Wang Xiedi gave up.
He felt that if he argued any further with these two, his heart-mind would break years ahead of time.
He could only silently appeal to Su Linger via telepathy.
[Wang Xiedi: Senior Sister, is Senior Brother always like this?]
[Su Linger: His behavior is extremely strange. You’d better just go along with him, or… good luck to you.]
Wang Xiedi sighed helplessly.
Lin Qingfeng seemed satisfied—after all, calling him “shoe sole” would have been worse than “Wa Disciple.”
Then he turned his gaze to Su Linger.
“Junior Sister, now you know how to receive new disciples, right?”
Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish; she needed to practice herself to quickly become a qualified “sect guide.”
Then this senior brother could rest easy as a hands-off manager!
“Next, you will guide this Wa Disciple.
You must show him the best side of the Guixi Sect.
You must present the perfect image of our immortal sect so that this new junior brother develops a strong sense of belonging. Understand?”
“This is both a test from the sect and a responsibility you must fulfill as a senior sister.
I will watch your every move. If there’s even the slightest mistake, I will promptly ‘guide’ and ‘correct’ you.”
“…Understood.”
Su Linger, however, couldn’t help but mutter internally:
Shouldn’t you be telepathically telling me this? Saying it openly—while the junior brother can hear it—is really okay?
[Su Linger: Junior Brother, don’t be fooled by what I’m about to say! Separate truth from lies. If anything happens, I can’t save you!]
Su Linger obediently said aloud: “Yes, Senior Brother.”
She verbally started praising the Guixi Sect as her senior brother wished.
Meanwhile, her telepathy never stopped.
[Su Linger: Remember, never trust anyone here, especially Senior Brother! Every word he says could be a trap to make you fall into the abyss!]
[Su Linger: You must pretend to be fanatically devoted to the sect. If something happens, raise your hands and shout ‘Loyalty’ at Senior Brother!]
[Su Linger: And our connection must remain absolutely secret. Not a single word can leak out!]
[Su Linger: Be very careful! Nobody in this sect is normal—they’re all insane!]
Hearing the completely opposite telepathic instructions, Wang Xiedi’s heart nearly shattered.
Senior Sister… you’re suffering! You have to say words against your conscience to appease a demon! And constantly watch out for being monitored! Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I understand your pain!
Grandfather said I must be responsible and courageous! I will save you from danger, no matter what!
At the sect gate, the three of them had different thoughts, creating a bizarre atmosphere.
Nearby, under an ancient tree, Yan Buliu had been lying around, idly observing the scene.
He clicked his tongue thoughtfully.
The junior sister’s relationship with the Refining Sect and senior brother isn’t very good, so he couldn’t really test her yet.
His gaze shifted to the new junior brother.
“But… this new NPC… hehe, he’s a newcomer, might as well try my luck.”
He didn’t dare steal from Elder Qian this time—last time, being trapped at Reflection Cliff was painfully boring.
With that thought, a glint appeared in Yan Buliu’s eyes. He secretly used his skill on Wang Xiedi: [Pickpocket].
The newly second-stage Qi cultivator Wang Xiedi didn’t notice at all.
In the next moment, a jade box appeared in Yan Buliu’s hand.
Inside was a crimson spirit fruit covered with strange patterns.
“Huh?”
He immediately identified it with the system.
“Whoa! This Wa Disciple actually has something good on him!”
[Item Name: Spirit Fruit of Unknown Origin]
**[Item Description: Seems to contain a unique function, can be cultivated a second time.
If fed to a spirit beast, it can enhance psychic abilities and strengthen the range and intensity of pheromone transmission.
Seems to hide some deeper special function.]**
Psychic enhancement?
Increase pheromone transmission?
This could be used for Wang Xian’s Resentful Beast!
Once the Resentful Beast’s “Leisure Domain” and “Resentful Domain” were active, and it ate this fruit to gain psychic enhancement and expanded range…
Wouldn’t that make it unstoppable?!
“This could sell for a good price!”
“Indeed, stealing from NPCs is the real path to wealth!”
“Well, this spirit fruit… let’s treat it as a welcome gift for Wa Disciple entering our sect, hehe!”
