Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Fuyao is so lucky, but cultivating in the mortal realm is still so tiring and painful. He misses his mother and father so much...

Bai Suifeng unconsciously licked the tip of his nose, thinking sadly:

He can't even protect his own sister. Is this useless guy really capable of organizing a group of people to fight his way back to the Immortal Realm and find that supreme saint to take revenge?

As his consciousness gradually faded, Bai Suifeng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then his tail drooped as he lost consciousness.

Little did they know that this listless and limp appearance would frighten Li Fuyao and the others so much that their blood pressure would spike.

Ye Wuxin and Kang Zhuyang no longer cared about exchanging glances. The two old men hurriedly stepped forward and put their hands on Bai Suifeng. Only after they found that the little dandelion was not dead, but had just fainted from the pain, did they both breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is this what you two wanted to achieve by torturing my brother like this?"

A cold voice, devoid of any softness, rang out. The two old men looked in the direction of the sound and met Li Fuyao's icy gaze.

The look in those dark cat-like eyes was too cold and sharp, as if they concealed a sharpened blade. As Ye Wuxin and Kang Zhuyang looked more embarrassed, a slight displeasure rose in their hearts.

Although they are both easygoing and tolerant towards the younger generation, they are both used to being outstanding since childhood.

Having spent several years in a high position, he naturally possessed the arrogance and pride that come with being in a superior position.

Although they had indeed gone too far today, being repeatedly rude to a little kid still left them feeling somewhat displeased at not being taken seriously.

But they were unhappy as they were.

They would never do it if asked to treat this little girl the same way they would treat a disciple who had made a mistake.

After all, this little girl is not only the first person in history to have all the elements of spiritual root, but also a peerless genius whose affinity for each element of spiritual power is extremely balanced, and who has already reached the Qi Refining stage before the age of ten.

Even though she has now fallen back to the Innate Realm from the Qi Refining Realm due to serious injuries, she is still a precious talent that the four major sects are secretly vying for.

If it weren't for the fact that from the very first trial, the Yanjian Sect had sent countless powerful figures to hide around Li Fuyao, intercepting messages and eliminating assassins, Li Fuyao would have either been abducted by the other three sects or died a gruesome death.

Only these two, notorious troublemakers within the Yanjian Sect, dared to treat Li Fuyao this way; anyone else would have been killed hundreds of times over.

If Zhang Xuanhe, the sect leader, found out that because of their idle, probing desires, they had driven away such a precious treasure from the Yanjian Sect to join another sect, they would be furious and have their skin torn off by the sect leader when they returned.

Therefore, although Ye Wuxin and Kang Zhuyang were somewhat displeased, they not only dared not do anything to Li Fuyao, but also had to coax the little girl into a good mood.

It's like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot—you only have yourself to blame.

The reason why Li Fuyao dared to treat a Nascent Soul expert this way was naturally because she had also been a leader of a powerful force.

She knew how important a top-tier talent was to a force that wanted to grow.

For the Yanjian Sect, she was an exceptional talent, so Li Fuyao wasn't worried about being troubled by a few words.

After all, from the clues in various things, it can be known that the Yanjian Sect is currently in dire need of talent and powerful cultivators. In addition, the two old men are not bad people, and he and Suifeng are so talented. So even if he loses his temper and goes too far, the two of them will not blame him too much.

Therefore, seeing that Ye Wuxin and Kang Zhuyang were only shifting their gazes and remaining silent, unwilling to speak to her, Li Fuyao gave a light chuckle, raised an eyebrow in a sarcastic tone, and sneered:

"Elder Kang, why are you not saying anything?"

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain. Weren't you so fierce when you bullied a child without any explanation?"

Kang Zhuyang frowned upon hearing this, but remained silent. Ye Wuxin, however, couldn't bear to see his old friend being talked back to by a child, and immediately reprimanded him in a low voice:

"Little girl, we are your elders after all. How can you be so rude?"

"Elder Kang and I acted this way today only to test your mind and adaptability. Although the method was inappropriate, we had no ill intentions towards you and your brother."

Seeing that Li Fuyao was still staring at him with a calm expression, Ye Wuxin frowned and his tone was already tinged with hidden anger.

But remembering Li Fuyao's talent, he finally took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and patiently explained:

"If he truly harbored hostility towards you, why would he need to resort to mere bluster to intimidate you?"

"With such talent, if you enter the Yanjian Sect in the future, you will surely become a pillar of the future, nurtured with the full strength of the entire sect. Once you have achieved success in your cultivation, we are waiting for you to take on the responsibility of leading other cultivators to cleanse themselves of evil and demons!"

"As a promising talent with such a bright future, one should have a broader mind and greater magnanimity!"

He spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child, then nudged Kang Zhuyang with his elbow, before making a gesture as if the matter was settled and instructing Li Fuyao:

"Your brother, being a contracted spirit pet, blocked a lot of the pressure from you earlier. He probably just fainted from the pressure. In my opinion, his injuries are not serious."

"Such a minor injury will heal with rest. However, since today's incident was a misunderstanding, I will have Old Kang give you some medicine as compensation later. I will not hold your verbal offense against you, so please don't worry about the injury anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao hugged Bai Suifeng, who was curled up in a ball and groaning anxiously, and stood up.

"A test? The injuries aren't serious?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and the chill in her eyes as she looked at Ye Wuxin and Kang Zhuyang was even greater than before:

"Sui Feng did indeed perform meritorious service for the Yanjian Sect's operations twice, in Yuanshan Town and the Bewitching Illusionary Realm!"

"Others may not know about this, but Elder Ye, how could you not know?"

At this point, Li Fuyao's face turned mocking, and she sneered angrily:

"Is this how the Yanjian Sect treats its disciples—by refusing to listen to explanations and indiscriminately harming them just to test them?"

"Your behavior today has truly broadened the horizons of this country girl!"

Ye Wuxin choked, secretly regretting that they had indeed gone too far.

He was about to speak when he heard Kang Zhuyang cough lightly and chuckle as he tried to ease the tension:

"Oh dear, little girl, you've really misunderstood!"

"I was just testing your resolve, but I didn't expect this wolf cub to be so protective of its master. It's truly commendable how loyal it is! Hahahaha!"

"The Yanjian Sect has always valued its disciples. Today's events were indeed due to our oversight, but we had no intention of belittling or harming you."
