I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

Since this wasn't Luo Suichen's first time cultivating, he was able to easily sense the colorful spiritual energy particles in the air and then guide the green and red wood and fire attribute spiritual energy into his body.

Logically speaking, Luo Suichen, with his dual wood and fire spiritual roots, should have followed Yunlu to Yundan Peak to learn alchemy. However, he felt that the most fundamental thing was to become stronger himself. Moreover, fire spirits are mainly for offense and attack, so he didn't need to be confined to a small alchemy furnace and needed someone to protect him.

After all, you can only rely on yourself.

Therefore, in his previous life, before he became a demon, he mainly cultivated the way of the sword.

With his thoughts back in order, he successfully passed the Qi Induction stage and reached the first level of Qi Refining in just one hour.

However, this cultivation speed did not satisfy Luo Suichen.

"An hour... that's still a bit slow."

In fact, normally, it would take a genius an entire night to achieve this goal.

For example, the original owner of the body, and Su Chengdian.

Su Chengdian comes from the Su family of Lizhou, one of the major cultivation families. From the age of six or seven, he used medicinal baths to widen his meridians. After reaching the age of ten and being able to cultivate, he successfully guided Qi into his body to reach the first level of Qi Refining in just one night. Now, at only thirteen years old, Su Chengdian has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This is also why Chu Chenmu only considered taking Luo Suichen with him during his seclusion and did not intend to take Su Chengdian with him. Such a good seedling should not have his two years wasted following this fake master who could not even break the restriction.

It would be better to let him study under Tian Yige first. From the original owner's memories, it is not difficult to see that Tian Yige is excellent in both character and academics. Therefore, Chu Chenmu trusts Tian Yige's character and cultivation more than he trusts himself.

……

The moment Luo Suichen reached the first level of Qi Refining, Chu Chenmu noticed it, but he didn't make a sound. He just silently marveled at the male protagonist's abnormal talent.

"Xiao Yuan, do you think Luo Suichen will be able to directly establish his foundation in two years at this rate?"

[Returning to the host, according to system calculations, there is a 91.233% chance of reaching Qi Refining Level 6 or higher, and a 0.539% chance of directly establishing the Foundation.]

"There's still a probability? Then calculate the probability that Luo Suichen will kill me."

[Back to host, according to multiple system calculations, it is 100.00%.]

[Xiaoyuan, you should be more humorous. You already have a host who's too upright.]

Xiaoyuan: ……

It has no idea what nonsense its host is spouting.

Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat.

……

Cultivation knows no time. At first, Chu Chenmu was just pretending, but later he began to calm down and meditate, immersing himself in the original owner's memories to integrate the original cultivation of this body. He couldn't afford to have the situation of not being able to break the restriction again.

He had already entered the Nascent Soul stage and mastered the art of fasting, so he didn't feel hungry or find cultivation boring. In real life, he was a loner with few hobbies and friends. To put it simply, Chu Chenmu was actually a bit socially awkward in real life.

So this quiet environment is actually just right for him; there aren't many people around, so he doesn't feel awkward.

Time is like sand slipping slowly through your fingers.

That day, Chu Chenmu was chatting with Xiaoyuan about everything from Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother to Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace when he suddenly felt someone touch him from the outside. Before his mind could react, his body instinctively responded, his protective spiritual energy trembled, and he heard the sound of something hitting the ground not far away.

"Pfft—" Luo Suichen, who had been pondering for a long time, finally decided to wake Chu Chenmu up as he had suggested. However, he did not expect that when he called him "Master," he would not respond and would be shaken away as soon as he touched him.

He crashed into the cave wall and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Chu Chenmu opened his eyes, and this was the scene before him.

He was inwardly weeping. He could get involved in any kind of plot, right? What should he say now? That he didn't do it on purpose?

When the male lead asks why he ignored her, she can say that she was so engrossed in imagining a monkey in her mind that she didn't hear him.

whee.

Destroy it.

“…Master,” Luo Suichen finally understood the killing move in this scheme. It turned out that they wanted to wait until he reached the third level of Qi Refining before using his protective spiritual power to control him and kill him. Unfortunately, Chu Chenmu hadn’t anticipated that he would be more wary of him in his second life and that he would only call him after he had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. He was not yet in danger of dying.

Ha, what a grand scheme! Chu Chenmu really went to great lengths to kill a mere disciple with a legitimate reason.

If they then discover they are still alive, they will surely come up with some high-sounding reasons.

Chu Chenmu subconsciously wanted to apologize, but the original owner's character did not allow him to say things like "I'm sorry" or "I apologize." In the original owner's memory, he had never said "I'm sorry" to anyone.

Xiao Yuan repeatedly instructed him to always follow the original owner's character settings to avoid being detected as odd by the Heavenly Dao of this world, and he always kept this in mind.

So he carefully chose his words and said, "Sui Chen, I was so focused on my cultivation that I forgot you were here."

This was not an explanation at all, and Luo Suichen couldn't detect a trace of apology in it.

Indeed, how could the lofty and aloof Venerable Xuanxiao feel guilty for stepping on an ant?

Receiving no response from Luo Suichen, Chu Chenmu worried that his injuries were too severe, so he hurriedly went over to help him up and fed him a Rejuvenation Pill. His spiritual power was of the ice attribute, which was not suitable for healing, so at this time he could only rely on pills.

After waiting quietly for half a day, Luo Suichen's injuries stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes without a trace of emotion.

Chu Chenmu had been keeping an eye on him. Although this wicked disciple was going to tear him to pieces later, he still looked like a weak and frail child. Chu Chenmu had accidentally injured him first, so he was in the wrong now.

"Has the injury stabilized?"

"Reporting to Master, I am now much better. It was all Suichen's fault. I am sorry for your concern."

How could he possibly be bad? Look at him, how much he hates himself, yet he speaks so flawlessly.

"I need to be careful in the future. I shouldn't easily touch people with high cultivation levels, otherwise I'll be easily hit by the backlash from their protective spiritual power." Fortunately, he had only just entered the Nascent Soul stage, so his cultivation level wasn't considered high.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "Since you have come to summon me, you must have already reached... the fifth level of Qi Refining? How long have you been in seclusion?" "Reporting to Master, it has been a full year."

If one's cultivation level is significantly higher than the other's, it's easy to discern their cultivation level. Chu Chenmu was quite surprised that the male protagonist had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining so quickly. He had just finished relearning the moves and techniques from the original owner's memories, and he recalled the scenes from his Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, pondering how to teach his three disciples.

It's been a year already, and to my shame, his cultivation hasn't improved at all.

"You can start practicing swordsmanship now. These are the seventy-two basic sword moves that all disciples of the Wuji Sect must master. Keep them safe for now. I have already inscribed the moves on this jade tube. Try to comprehend them using your spiritual power. When the time is right, I will naturally let you learn them."
