My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 1 This must be an evil formation that plunders the life force of the surrounding area!
Guixi Sect.

The location of the mountain gate.

There is no fresh fragrance of grass and trees that should be found in the mountains and fields, because nothing grows around it.

As far as the eye could see, not even the lowest-grade weed could be found, let alone any exotic flowers or rare herbs.

It seemed as if the life force of the entire mountain had been forcibly drained by something.

The mountain gate was wide open, with two huge stone doors just sitting there.

The interior was deep and dark, and it was difficult to see clearly. It looked like a demonic sect, without any trace of the demeanor of a celestial being.

At that moment, a person was huddled behind a half-person-high gray rock, only half of her head peeking out, her eyes full of vigilance.

The sect leader said that a disciple from another sect has been acting strangely lately.

Looking at it now, isn't this a bit too blatant?
The area within a hundred miles was barren, and these two deep gates seemed to lead to an endless abyss.

Aren't you afraid that such a scene will be discovered by those righteous immortal sects?
The sect leader's face reappeared in Su Ling'er's mind.

It was inside an inconspicuous secret room at Qingxu Temple.

The usually aloof and high-ranking head of Qingxu Temple is a Core Formation Realm cultivator with the Daoist name Xuanyuan.

He dismissed all his disciples, leaving only Su Ling'er.

"You have been a disciple of my sect for quite some time now. Do you know about the Guixi Sect, which is located three hundred miles to the east?"

Su Ling'er nodded.

"I have indeed heard of it."

That is a newly emerging sect that has gained fame in recent years.

It is said that the place acts strangely, and the disciples under its tutelage improve their cultivation at an unbelievable speed. Even in the surrounding cultivation markets, there are many legends about that place.

But the strange thing is that none of them seem to have actually seen that sect. These rumors seem to have appeared out of thin air, and it's unclear who spread them.

Perhaps it was their own way of trying to gain some prestige for their sect outside?
But a demonic sect wouldn't act like that, would it?

The head of Qingxu Temple said, "I suspect that they are very likely the reappearance of a lost ancient heretical cultivation lineage."

Their techniques, their goals, everything about them remains a mystery.

This is a sword hanging over the heads of our righteous sects!

Su Ling'er remained silent, knowing that the sect leader's words had a hidden meaning and that he probably wanted her to do something.

As expected, the sect leader's gaze fell on Su Ling'er once again.

“Su Ling’er, your talent and physical constitution are both of the worst, and you even have pseudo spiritual roots of the four elements of metal, wood, water and earth.”

He has been a disciple of my sect for three years and has been cultivating diligently, but he is still only at the third level of Qi Refining.

The condensed primordial dust is the lowest grade of 'dust imprint,' meaning one will likely have no hope of achieving Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

Dust stains.

Those are marks that can be formed by mortals in the mundane world after they have cultivated the fragments of the "Primordial Dao Canon" that have been altered countless times.

It is the deepest mark on the path of spiritual practice, a synonym for mediocrity and despair.

As an outer disciple, she couldn't even enter the inner sect and usually just did odd jobs for the sect.

For example, miscellaneous tasks within the sect, such as chopping wood and carrying water, are all assigned to the outer disciples.

They used this labor to exchange for the outer sect's inner teachings of Qingxu Temple.

That was also a mental cultivation method derived from the fragments of the "Primordial Daoist Canon" bestowed by the Supreme Sect by the head of Qingxu Temple.

However, it was the first edition, so it was used for recruiting disciples from the outer sect, but it is unknown which edition the inner sect's cultivation method was.

The abbot of Qingxu Temple spoke again: "But now, you have an opportunity."

coming!

Su Ling'er held her breath.

Although her knowledge of demonic cultivators only existed in stories, the sect leader still entrusted her with this important task!
"A chance to rise to the top in one step,"

The sect leader continued,

"Infiltrate the Guixi Sect and become their disciple."

Whatever method you use, find out the truth about their practices, find evidence that they are heretical practitioners, and tell me everything you know.

"After this is done, I will not only make an exception and accept you as my personal disciple, but I will also personally cleanse your marrow and reshape your bones!"
Even more so, I, your teacher, can shamelessly plead with the higher sect on your behalf.

In that case, there is a solution for your spiritual root problem.

I know you've always wanted the Blood Clotting Herb.

Now you have the opportunity. After it's done, not only will you get the Blood Clotting Grass, but you can also personally refine Blood Clotting Pills and Dragon Tiger Pills.

Even the fragmentary copy of the "Original Daoist Canon" bestowed upon us by the Supreme Sect at Qingxu Temple is available for you to study and comprehend. I can even assist you in your comprehension, thereby deriving cultivation methods suitable for your practice.

Even if we don't reach the Pseudo-Core Formation realm in the future, Foundation Establishment will definitely be yours for the taking!

Then, the abbot of Qingxu Temple took out a small bronze bell-shaped insect-like Gu from his pocket.

"You must keep this flying insect in a safe place."

If it is impossible to send a message back to the sect through the Jade Slip within the Demonic Sect, this Gu insect can also be used to transmit the message.

remember.

These flying insects, after being fed with essence blood, can only survive for a maximum of fourteen hours. Although the number of these insects should be enough for your use.

However, remember that once you feed them, you must send the flying insects out of the Demon Sect and send the message back to Qingxu Temple within fourteen hours.

"As your teacher, I have high hopes for you; you must be extremely careful."

Su Ling'er carefully accepted the insect gu.

She recalled the sect leader's constantly furrowed brows lately, and also the rumors that the upper sect, the "Heavenly Furnace Sect," was going to collect a "tithe tax" again.

Perhaps it's because the amount of spirit stones offered this year wasn't enough?

Or perhaps they wanted to use the information from the evil sect to buy the upper sect a chance to catch their breath?
Or perhaps they want to uncover the secrets of this heretical sect's techniques in order to advance their cultivation level quickly?
She didn't know, and didn't want to know too much.

Knowing too much might not be good for you.

And this may be her only chance to climb up the social ladder in her life.

It is her only chance to continue pursuing the path of immortality and achieve Foundation Establishment or even a higher realm.

She had to do it, even if it meant risking her life!
Then, she clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader. This disciple is willing to go!"

After the sect leader carefully gave some instructions, Su Ling'er got up and left.

Just as she stepped out of the room, another outer disciple, just like her, was called into the room.

I don't know what they're going to do.

All she wanted was to complete the mission quickly and continue pursuing the path to immortality.

The memory suddenly faded, and the terrifying mountain gate before him became clear again.

Su Ling'er took a deep breath, suppressing all the excitement in her heart.

I did this to uphold justice!
It's also so that I can achieve Foundation Establishment and take another step on the path to immortality!
Without further hesitation, she slipped out from behind the rocks and headed towards the terrifying mountain gate.

The closer one gets, the heavier the oppressive feeling of utter desolation becomes.

Finally, she stepped through the mountain gate.

suddenly!

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed!

Just one step away, it felt like stepping into another world.

A rich, vibrant life force wafted towards her, the aroma so strong it made her take a half-step back and almost cough.

What happened?
The place inside was not the gloomy, demonic cave she had imagined.

Compared to the outside world, this place is simply a fairyland!
The grass was like a green carpet, with dewdrops still clinging to the tips of the leaves, and the flowers at the entrance added a touch of warmth to the air.

How can this be?

The mountains outside are almost completely dead, not a single hair can be found, but inside the gate, which is only a step away, the difference is like heaven and earth!
Compared to the outside, the inside of the gate could indeed be described as a fairyland.

Su Ling'er's mind went blank for a moment, and then a thought popped into her head.

Am I under some kind of illusion spell, or have I entered some kind of illusionary realm?

possible!
She hissed and, as if possessed, took another step back.

The fairyland before their eyes vanished, and the surroundings returned to their dilapidated state once again.

Su Ling'er froze. She blinked and then carefully put one foot inside.

The moment her foot stepped inside, it was as if life enveloped her foot again, but her other foot and her whole body remained in that dilapidated world outside.

This sense of being half paradise and half death made her feel dizzy.

Then she started doing something very strange.

She first extended her left foot, stepped in, and then withdrew it;
Step in with your right foot, step out with your right foot;
Left foot in, right foot in, left foot out, right foot out...

She seemed to be mesmerized by the threshold, going back and forth, in and out.

After all, this was a sight she could never see even in the Qingxu Temple.

The scene before her eyes constantly shifted between paradise and death as she moved.

What kind of terrifying formation is this?

Could it be the legendary technique of reducing Sumeru to a mustard seed?
wrong.

Su Ling'er stopped her silly actions and stood frozen in front of the door.

A chill ran down her spine as an idea surfaced in her mind.

This must be a heretical practice!
This is an evil formation that draws life force from the outside world!

The Guixi Sect used an evil method I had never seen before to plunder all the life force of this mountain outside the sect gate and then keep it within their own sect!

They turned the outside world into a desolate wasteland, just to irrigate their own fairy garden!
That's it!

What an evil and vicious act!
As expected, the stories in the novel were true!

These despicable evil forces deserve to be eradicated by everyone!
Just as she was reeling from her discovery, a voice came from ahead.

"You came?"

Su Ling'er froze, then looked up abruptly. She saw a tall, handsome young man in black robes walking towards her with a smile. It was Lin Qingfeng.

He was overjoyed as he looked at the new junior sister.

Our sect has finally welcomed its first local NPC!!!
