Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 614 - 353 Encounters_2

Ren Fei’er’s conditions were not bad, with two Golden Core parents supporting her, she at least didn’t have to worry about resources for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But after arriving at the Beishu Continent, she realized that what her Golden Core parents could give her was not much, for without the backing of a major sect on the Beishu Continent, her status was quite lowly.

She also wanted to become a Golden Core cultivator, to make her parents proud, so she gave some of her resources to that female cultivator.

Ren Fei’er was no fool, and had signed a contract with that female cultivator.

The female cultivator was a disciple of the Earth Evil Sect, with a small network of connections within the sect, which actually allowed Ren Fei’er to join the Earth Evil Sect and become its disciple.

Initially, Ren Fei’er was very excited, for by completing the tasks of the Earth Evil Sect, she could use contribution points to select cultivation techniques from the sect.

The techniques there were much stronger than what her parents could provide.

However, within a large sect and without any significant background, especially in a Demon Sect, it did not take long before Ren Fei’er attracted unwanted attention.

A True Disciple named Chu Ke wanted Ren Fei’er to become his Daoist couple, but Ren Fei’er knew that Chu Ke cultivated a demonic technique that absorbed yin to replenish yang, and any female cultivator who followed Chu Ke would end up contributing all her cultivation to him.

Ren Fei’er seized an opportunity to escape, but Chu Ke had already been paying attention to her, which is what Li Shiming saw in the chase.

From Ren Fei’er’s inner monologue, Li Shiming had only heard a general outline of the situation, as Ren Fei’er couldn’t possibly think through the entire event in her mind, but what Li Shiming heard was enough for him to guess the approximate course of events.

"Who are you? My lord is a True Disciple of the Earth Evil Sect, don’t meddle in others’ affairs!" The following cultivator caught up and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator shouted a warning.

This Foundation Establishment Cultivator had not managed to discern Li Shiming’s realm, which was very likely because Li Shiming’s realm was far higher than theirs, and also because Li Shiming was intentionally concealing his realm.

Therefore, the attitude of the cultivator was cautious, but certainly not fearful.

Clearly, Li Shiming was not a cultivator of the Earth Evil Sect, and within the sphere of influence of the Earth Evil Sect, anyone not from the sect was a Loose Cultivator.

No matter how powerful Li Shiming was, he could not afford to provoke a True Disciple of the Earth Evil Sect.

"Shut up!" Li Shiming shouted sternly, his voice carrying a trace of the "Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear" effect.

This shout left the six Foundation Establishment Cultivators standing frozen in the air; had they not used spiritual artifacts for flight, which had their own flying capabilities, they would have fallen from the sky by now.

Meanwhile, the True Disciple Chu Ke in the Flying Boat, upon this shout, saw one of his protective jade tokens shatter.

Sitting inside the Flying Boat, Chu Ke did not dare to move. Although the "Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear" power that hit him was blocked by the jade token, he understood that an existence that could shatter his life-saving jade token with just a shout was not someone he could afford to provoke.

In fact, Li Shiming did not use even a fraction of the "Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear" power; had he unleashed it, none of these cultivators would have survived.

Li Shiming refrained from killing these cultivators while considering Ren Fei’er’s attitude.

If Ren Fei’er wanted to stay in the Earth Evil Sect, then him killing these cultivators would sever Ren Fei’er’s path of cultivation in the Earth Evil Sect.

After all, the Earth Evil Sect was one of the six major sects, and Li Shiming respected Ren Fei’er’s choice.

In fact, Ren Fei’er’s choice of the Earth Evil Sect was not so strange; back on Sky Sea Island, she had been a disciple of the Demon Sect.

"Fei’er, have you joined the Earth Evil Sect?" Li Shiming asked, glancing at the robe she was wearing.

He couldn’t very well say he already knew she had joined the Earth Evil Sect through "Telepathy". Noticing that the robe Ren Fei’er wore was the official robe of the Earth Evil Sect, he intentionally led with the question.

"Yes," Ren Fei’er responded softly, her heart filled with worry.

This wasn’t Sky Sea Island where she and Li Shiming, both very young back then, didn’t care about the difference between righteous and demon sects. The strife between righteous and demon on Sky Sea Island only went as far as the Foundation Establishment Stage. At the Golden Core Stage, like her parents from righteous and demon sects respectively becoming a Daoist couple, it was considered normal.

But on the Beishu Continent, conflicts between righteous and demon sects were common, and the fall of Golden Core cultivators was a usual affair.

"Is it this True Disciple who forced you to do things you did not wish to do?" Li Shiming asked again.

Ren Fei’er nodded, thoughts of Chu Ke wanting to form a Daoist couple with her crossing her mind. She didn’t resist the idea of becoming a Daoist couple with a powerful cultivator much, but Chu Ke regarded a Daoist couple as a mere cauldron, which was intolerable to her.

Li Shiming sensed Ren Fei’er’s thoughts and couldn’t help but sigh, realizing that the Fei’er of the past had grown up and become much more realistic.

Just then, he suddenly heard the name Yin Shilan from Ren Fei’er’s inner voice, and Ren Fei’er referred to Yin Shilan as her sister.

He had originally planned to help Ren Fei’er out of her current predicament, but upon learning that Ren Fei’er was Yin Shilan’s younger sister, he was surprised and realized he had to consider Ren Fei’er’s future.

"Fei’er, you have two choices. One is to stay in the Earth Evil Sect, where I can ensure that you cultivate without any disturbance from other cultivators. The other is to leave the Earth Evil Sect and join either the Thousand Illusion Sect or Shushan Sect—you may choose one," Li Shiming said after a moment of contemplation, his voice deep.

Upon hearing Li Shiming’s words, Chu Ke couldn’t help but reveal a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, thinking that Li Shiming was bluffing.

He activated a rescue talisman on his body, which automatically sent out his location.

This was a True Disciple’s rescue talisman. As long as there were sect cultivators nearby, they would come to reinforce.

When the rescue talisman was activated, Li Shiming had just learned from Ren Fei’er’s inner voice that Yin Shilan was her sister, which slightly affected his mind and he didn’t notice Chu Ke’s actions.

In the Cultivation World, there weren’t many things that could affect Li Shiming’s mind, and Yin Shilan was the most important one.

"Can I join the Thousand Illusion Sect?" Ren Fei’er’s heart skipped a beat. She recalled the days she spent with Li Shiming and realized that he was considering her welfare.

Having witnessed the terror of the Demon Sect on the Beishu Continent, she lost all interest in the Demon Sect.

Indeed, it was difficult to live in any sect without support, but the dangers were much greater in the Demon Sect.

In the Thousand Illusion Sect, with her sister there, she should receive more care.

She had considered joining the Shushan Sect, but that would make her a generation younger than Li Shiming, which she did not want.

"It’s good. Once in the Thousand Illusion Sect, your sister will be there to take care of you; she would be more at ease!" Li Shiming, through ’Telepathy,’ heard Ren Fei’er’s thoughts and directly cut through her whimsy.

Since the beginning, when he had chosen Yin Shilan, his heart only had room for her.

Especially as his realm rose higher and his state of mind improved, there was even less room in his heart for distractions.

However, the place Yin Shilan held in his heart became more and more entrenched. Becoming a Daoist couple with Yin Shilan was also his wish aside from cultivation.

When Ren Fei’er heard Li Shiming mention her sister, her expression momentarily froze.

"You know?" she murmured softly. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Stay with me here for a while longer; I will take you away once I’ve dealt with the matter!" Li Shiming said with a smile.

He looked towards the six Foundation Establishment Cultivators and the Flying Boat, enveloping them in his ’Telepathy.’

"Did you send out a rescue signal?" Li Shiming was slightly surprised as he sensed Chu Ke’s thoughts, not expecting him to have the audacity to send a rescue signal.

"No matter your cultivation level, you’d best let us leave. We are very close to the checkpoint; a Golden Core Elder will be arriving shortly!" Chu Ke became much bolder after activating the rescue talisman, his voice stern.

"There was not much of an issue originally; I only needed to rescue someone and leave. I did not wish to make a big deal out of it!" Li Shiming sighed.

"Surrender, and I will ask the Elder to spare your life!" Chu Ke thought Li Shiming was afraid and spoke loudly.

From the direction of the checkpoint, the aura of a Golden Core Middle Stage was rapidly approaching, significantly boosting Chu Ke’s morale.
