Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 368: The Authentic Lineage of the Xuanmen

    

is moment, a black aura emerged from the back of the Manniu Beast's head. The next second, it was dispersed by another bolt of purple lightning. The black aura was very persistent, and as soon as the...The ripples of the face showed a bloodthirsty smile to the man, and then directly threw him out the door.

"Cough cough cough!"

The man coughed violently, his throat surely hurt, but the oxygen he breathed into his lungs told him he had lived to see another day.

With a ripple of movement, she picked up the black handbag tossed onto the pearwood table and walked barefoot to the door. She slipped on the pair of black stiletto heels studded with diamonds and looked down at the man who was just catching his breath.

"Fix the door you broke, and don't go anywhere until it's fixed. Got it"

"It's Master!"

The young man swallowed nervously and replied in a low voice, his head bowed.

He dared not raise his head, afraid that even a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes would provoke the woman's cruelty.

Ripple watched as the man supported himself by the shoe cabinet at the entrance, slowly getting up and steadying his breath. Only then did she softly speak:

"Good girl!"

Then he opened the door and left the room.

The ripples could feel it, the man held a fatal attraction to her inhabiting this body, and it was an unnatural one. That's why she had just decided to kill him outright, if not for the reminder from the millstone, she would have already been figuring out how to dispose of the body.

The sound of high heels clicking

closer and closer to the door, grew fainter. This eased the tension in the man's nerves.

He was sure that just now, in his master's eyes, he had seen nothing. There was no admiration, no liking, no satisfaction from before, nothing at all. This frightened him. Could their plan have been exposed

Not until the sound of high heels completely disappeared did he take his phone out of his pocket and quickly press the speed dial key. After waiting for less than ten seconds, the other party picked up, and then a slightly displeased female voice came from inside:

"Gao Yang, did you succeed Why are you calling me now instead of warming up with your master"

It is very obvious that he is being insincere.

"No, Master seems fine. He almost choked me to death!"

Gaoyang's voice was hoarse as he began to explain.

"What does that mean Did the poison not work, or was it rejected by the ripples"

The woman on the phone immediately asked nervously.

"The aphrodisiac didn't work, and she was very displeased that I barged into her bedroom. It seemed to interrupt her cultivation, so she crushed my shoulder as punishment and then ordered me to fix the broken door. She just left the residence."

"What This can't be! No! The poison took effect, it was only suppressed by her, otherwise she wouldn't have left her home in such a hurry, leaving you!"

The woman across from him immediately reacted.

"You can still catch up now."

"I-I can't believe it! Her power has increased even more!"

Gao Yang said somewhat regretfully, although he didn't want to admit it, he really felt like he had taken a turn at the gate of hell.

"Hmph! With such little courage, you dare to try and absorb my senior sister's entire arsenal of mystical power I am truly disappointed."

"Yao, listen to me explain."

"Beep beep beep"

Gao Yang's words hadn't finished when he heard the busy tone from the phone. He put the phone back in his pocket and was just about to get the tools to fix the door when a sharp pain shot through his neck and everything went black. He lost consciousness.

The ripples here went back and forth, one hand holding the high heels, the other hand chopping the man unconscious. She looked down at the unconscious man with disdain, a sarcastic smile on her lips.

"It's unbelievable that someone who eats inside and steals outside would collude with outsiders to scheme against their own master."

Immediately, ripples like dragging a dead dog threw the man in white into the guest room. Then she quickly locked the door and entered the bathroom, filling the bathtub with water. She sat cross-legged in it, using the power of the relic to expel the suppressed pink poison from her body.

The water in the bathtub slowly turned pink. After three full changes of water, the ripples finally expelled all the toxins from her body. She changed into a black ankle-length dress and returned to her previous bedroom, beginning to receive the memories of the original owner.

Wu Lianyi, the original person, was a Xuanmen (Taoist) practitioner who cultivated orthodox Xuanmen techniques. Her cultivation focused on the Yin and soft path, which despite being unique, still ranked her among the top practitioners in the magical world.

In her daily life, she would help people with Feng Shui, offer guidance, or exorcise minor spirits. If she encountered powerful demons and ghosts, she would team up with other practitioners through the Association of Practitioners and other wizards.

In this world, the existence of mages is no secret, and it is widely accepted. Some scientific problems that cannot be explained will be explained by esotericism. The state also has a special agency to manage these mystical practitioners.

The protagonist also had a junior sister named Bi Yao, but the latter was too preoccupied and not diligent in her cultivation. Her strength was only half of the protagonist's. Every time they took on a difficult task, it was the protagonist who cleaned up the mess to maintain the reputation of their school.

Over time, the original owner's name grew bigger and bigger, taking on increasingly high-level projects. Naturally, her income also became substantial. This filled Bi Yao with jealousy, but she lacked the skill to compete openly. She couldn't outdo the original owner directly, so she decided to resort to underhanded tactics.

Then, Gao Yang caught Bi Yao's attention. He was well-rounded and a prodigy in cultivating Xuanmen techniques. Under her recommendation, Gao Yang successfully joined the Ripple Sect.

The ripples mentor was quite attentive to this apprentice. Her principle was that the master leads you to the door, but your cultivation is up to you. So she taught all the techniques, and the rest was up to her apprentice to practice diligently day after day.

But Gao Yang's ambition was as high as the sky. He also wanted to be like his master, being adored wherever he went. Under Bi Yao's deliberate guidance, he obtained a secret martial arts technique that could steal another person's mystical power through yin-yang intercourse.

This gave him a crooked idea. He thought that if he took his master's Xuan power, he could surpass his master. And he didn't want to anger his master, so he wanted to create an accident and obtain his master's Xuan power when there was no other way.

This led to the scene where ripples just entered the original body, Gao Yang and Bi Yao joined forces to give the original body aphrodisiac.

The protagonist stood up at the banquet to protect Bi Yao, who was being wronged, and took a cup of wine meant for her. The wine contained a common aphrodisiac; with enough effort, one could force it out of their body. That's why the original owner hurriedly left the banquet.

The key to the plan lies with Gao Yang. Before he met his predecessor, he also applied medicine to himself. So after breaking in, the effects of the two medicines merged and became a more advanced type of aphrodisiac.

The original being had no relics to help it, and in its drowsy state, it actively approached its own disciple, allowing Gao Yang to succeed. As a result, the original being lost seventy percent of its Xuan power.

After the incident, Gao Yang still pretended to be humiliated by his master. Not only did he not get punished, but he also made the original body feel very guilty. After all, she had been poisoned and used her apprentice to detoxify, doing something outrageous. Unfortunately, since things had already happened, talking about it was useless. The original body could only grit their teeth and swallow their blood.

The original discovered the powder on his disciple's clothes and was about to inquire carefully when Bi Yao, with her ink and rouge, appeared. She feigned remorse and went to see her senior sister, only to bump into Gao Yang kneeling before the original, shirtless. She was shocked at the sight.

The original person wanted to cover it up, but Bi Yao said that it was all her fault. That poison was originally meant for her, but unfortunately, her senior sister drank the cup of wine and took it for her.w I had the 'lantern tree' seeds on me, they would definitely send someone to 'receive' me.”Ripples blinked and smiled, saying,"When the time comes, please assist me, Count Laurence. It will surely be...
