After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

After reading those translations and discovering them, Chang Hun asked Guyu to take Yetang to the Hundred Poisons Valley to explore and learn from each other.

Yu Nian was a little worried, so he followed him.

Ling Cang was kept in the study by Chang Hun on the pretext that he wanted to find the blood of a cultivator with ice spiritual roots to feed the ice jade spiritual silkworm.

The study was quiet. Ling Cang and Chang Hun sat on either side of the desk, looking at each other.

In the end, it was Ling Cang who spoke first, breaking the silence.

"They're gone, hurry up if you want to say anything."

Ling Cang spoke expressionlessly. He didn't want to waste time keeping things in suspense with an old man.

Chang Hun blinked, then took out another stack of papers from the storage ring and handed it to Ling Cang.

Ling Cang took the papers and quickly browsed through them with his head down, while Chang Hun on the side kept paying attention to Ling Cang's expression, but to his disappointment, Ling Cang's face remained calm.

Chang Hun took out the Ice Jade Silkworm that had been hopping around in the medicine cauldron, and placed it in the palm of his hand. He slowly said, "The Ice Jade Silkworm can devour the coldest things and transform them into Ice Jade Dew. It has always been a treasure that only the High Priest of the Spirit Ice Clan is worthy of possessing... If you use the blood of a Spirit Ice Clan member to feed the Ice Jade Silkworm, the resulting Ice Dew has the effect of reviving the dead."

Then, Chang Hun raised his head and looked at Ling Cang, "Little friend Ling, don't you want to touch your clan's treasure? It's very cute."

Ling Cang still had no expression on his face. He just glanced at the little bug in Chang Hun's palm with disdain and did not say anything.

"Not everyone can enter the Snow Origin. Besides the key, the gate to the Snow Origin can only be opened with the blood of a Spirit Ice Clan member... Furthermore, the Spirit Ice Clan Temple and the Snow Demon Tomb are only open to members of the Spirit Ice Clan. I should have thought of this earlier. I'm really getting old."

Chang Hun held his forehead with his hand for a moment, then stared at Ling Cang and continued, "Little friend Ling, I guess you are not clear about your own life experience... However, you don't seem surprised at all."

Ling Cang raised his eyebrows and sneered, his voice cold and said, "Do you think I should be surprised?"

In fact, although Ling Cang did not fully know his own life experience, he could guess most of it after the trip to the Snow Source.

Chang Hun stared at Ling Cang's expression for a long moment before speaking meaningfully, "It seems you already know. During our time in the Snow Sea Secret Realm, someone had been secretly following us. We entered the Outer Snow Source and even the Spirit Ice Tribe's Holy Temple together. They even reached the Snow Demon's Tomb before us and stole the Seven Star Lamp... This person is extremely clever and cunning, with a high level of cultivation, and is very skilled in stealth and shadow-related spells."

Ling Cang remained calm even after Chang Hun revealed his thoughts, but Chang Hun's next words still made Ling Cang's heart sink.

"In fact, Little Friend Ling, you have already guessed who stole the Seven Star Lamp... You must know that once the Seven Star Lamp is used, there will be an unknown price to pay, a price that even gods cannot afford. It must be a devastating disaster."

Chang Hun paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and continued, "Presumably, this person is someone Ling Xiaoyou is very close to and familiar with, which is why Ling Xiaoyou didn't stop him from doing evil."

Ling Cang met Chang Hun's sharp eyes, murderous intent in them, "So what if that's the case... Do you think I should stop it?"

Although Ling Cang was only in his teens and his cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, his dark eyes filled with sinisterness and murderous intent still frightened Chang Hun.

"Since you know a disaster is going to happen in the future, why don't you stop it before it happens? If that disaster really happens, I think the person who stole the lantern and used it will definitely not have a good ending. I don't think Ling Xiaoyou would want to see that."

Chang Hun took a deep breath and continued, "Little friend Ling, I want to warn you. Not only will doing evil lead to your own downfall, but standing by and watching someone in danger without helping will eventually harm yourself and the people you care about... Before you stand aside and watch, think about why God allowed you to encounter this."

Ling Cang still looked indifferent, just looking at Chang Hun. After a long while, he spoke, "If you are just here to meddle in other people's business today, I want to disappoint you... I advise you to stay in the Hundred Poisons Valley and don't go out during this period of time."

He had done everything he could, and Chang Hun was not a particularly righteous and kind person. After sighing in his heart, he just nodded.

"Of course. We in the Hundred Poisons Valley have never been involved in worldly affairs, nor have we ever gotten into disputes with outsiders. This is the rule set by our ancestor."

Seeing that Chang Hun was not obsessed with the Seven Star Lamp, Ling Cang was very satisfied and immediately stood up to leave.

"Friend Ling, I have two things I'd like to ask for your help with." Chang Hun stood up and called Ling Cang over, bowing solemnly. "I hope you can agree to this. I will reward you handsomely later."

Ling Cang turned around and saw Chang Hun bowing so solemnly. He also understood that this was not a small matter. "What is it? Tell me."

Chang Hun was relieved to see Ling Cang stayed and did not directly refuse to leave.

Then, Chang Hun slowly spoke, "Ten thousand years ago, an ancestor of the Strange Doctor lineage in the Hundred Poison Valley disrupted a funeral of the Spirit Ice Clan in the Snow Sea Secret Realm and discovered some of the Spirit Ice Clan's secrets. The high priest of the Spirit Ice Clan at the time was furious and cursed the Strange Doctor lineage to sever its inheritance.

After the ancestor fled back to the Hundred Poison Valley, almost all the disciples and elders of the Hundred Poison Valley died for no reason within a year, and the ancestor also died as a result.

Perhaps the high priest's skills were not enough, or perhaps it was the law of nature that there is always a glimmer of hope, and one person from the strange doctor's lineage survived.

After that, the legacy of the Strange Doctor of the Hundred Poisons Valley could only be passed down to a single person. No matter how many disciples he accepted, all of these extra disciples would die for no reason within a year. And no matter how talented and determined the contemporary Strange Doctor was, his cultivation would be stuck at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. He would not be able to achieve the Nascent Soul Stage and would die from the curse before the age of 300.

Of course, a modern eccentric doctor could choose not to accept apprentices, so that he wouldn't be affected by the curse... However, if he did so, the High Priest of the Spirit Ice Clan would have achieved his goal."

It is precisely because of that ancestor's accidental entry that there are so many records about the secrets of the Lingbing Clan and their writing in the Baidu Valley Library.

Chang Hun originally thought that his life would be just like that of countless predecessors, where he would tell the secret to his apprentice before dying, and that would be the end of it.

Considering his talent of Danmu Linggen, and the fact that he was over two hundred years old, he was still only at the late stage of Jindan cultivation, and couldn't even form a Yuanying. He died because of the curse. Chang Hun was helpless and unwilling to accept it.

Just when he had lost interest and felt indifferent, Ling Cang appeared, which gave him hope again.

Putting aside the question of whether he could continue to live, he had to consider his apprentice and the inheritance of the lineage of the strange doctor in the Hundred Poisons Valley.

It is said that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Since it can be confirmed that Ling Cang is a member of the Lingbing clan, and may even be the last member of the Lingbing clan, then it is likely that a way to break the curse can be found from Ling Cang.

"Curse?" Ling Cang raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms. "Do you want me to help you break the curse?"

Chang Hun nodded, "Now, only you, Ling Xiaoyou..."

Ling Cang interrupted him directly and sneered, "To be honest, I have never come into contact with anything from the Lingbing Clan before, so don't daydream."

Chang Hun: “…”

It's a bit heartbreaking. Can you not be so blunt and at least give people some hope...

Ling Cang felt that he hadn't been direct and clear enough, so he continued kindly, "Old Chang, you're not young anymore. While you can still be active, just jump around for a few more days. Don't worry about so many things. Just wait for death."

Chang Hun: “…”

He is a little angry and wants to hit someone now. What should he do?

"Besides, even if I can cast and break curses, why should I agree to help you?" Ling Cang snorted coldly and glanced at Chang Hun with disdain.

This junior really deserves a beating. I don’t know why a person with such a good temper like Yu Nianzhen would accept such a bad disciple.

Chang Hun took a deep breath and felt his heart beat less violently. "There are still many ancient books in the Hundred Poisons Valley. I will slowly search through them for the methods left by the ancestors, which may be the method to break the curse... If I find a way to break the curse, I will need Ling Xiaoyou's help. I hope Ling Cang will not refuse.

Of course, as a reward, I will also help Ling Xiaoyou find ways to develop his bloodline and talents, and tell Ling Xiaoyou everything I know... I know that this is not enough, but if Ling Xiaoyou has any instructions, Chang will definitely do it."
