Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Traitor, and Grasp Large. T

The trapdoor led me to a wierd room manufactured from stone, totally different from the wood cabin. It was pitch-black, and I could not make out a lot, however my curiosity pushed me ahead.

The tunnel led me to a door, revealing the issues I didn’t wish to see, but the very issues I had been looking for.

A stone altar stood earlier than me, adorned with glass jars containing the lacking organs from the current homicide. I additionally observed peculiar drawings on the altar, consisting of circles with symbols.

Related to a different a part of the room was a straight line, resulting in a small meditation rug. It was evident that the woman had been using the ability of these organs to apply a meditation method!

Certainly, it appeared to be a diabolical type of martial artwork, simply as Kang Duyi had talked about. I looked for any clues and found one—an ancient-looking scroll that exuded a strong aura.

I paid no thoughts as to if the woman would discover the scroll’s absence.

The method, regardless of its malevolence, held nice energy. Despite the fact that I had no intention of finding out it, preserving the scroll with me appeared like a clever selection for my very own security.

After buying the scroll, I meticulously searched the room for additional proof, however my efforts proved futile. Every thing I wanted to verify my suspicions was already current. It turned obvious that the red-haired woman I had been tailing was the wrongdoer behind the killings.

Simply as I used to be making ready to make my exit, I out of the blue heard commotion from upstairs. Somebody had entered the cabin! Panic gripped me as I frantically sought a hiding spot. Sadly, the room supplied no objects to supply cowl, leaving me with solely the determined hope that the intruder would not enterprise down into the tunnel-like area.

Looking back, counting on prayer appeared silly given my streak of misfortune. Inside minutes, the creaking of the rusty trapdoor resounded by means of the room. Somebody was drawing nearer. My gaze darted in the direction of the altar, and I spotted it supplied a possible hiding place. If the particular person determined to circle round it, my destiny could be sealed, nevertheless it was a greater choice than being uncovered within the open.

And so, I hid myself behind the altar.

Time appeared to face nonetheless as I hid myself behind the altar, straining to manage my respiratory and stay unnoticed.

Pictures of my encounter with the red-haired lady in that very room and our ensuing battle flashed by means of my thoughts. Nonetheless, to my disbelief, the one that descended into the room was not her however another person totally.

When our eyes met, astonishment washed over me. Whereas I used to be properly conscious that individuals typically hid their true nature, having learn numerous cultivation novels, experiencing it firsthand was a complete new stage of revelation.

To my utter shock, the person who entered the room was none aside from Kang Duyi himself! It was tough to fathom how somebody I used to be starting to belief, a talented hunter who cared for the well-being of the village, could possibly be concerned. However why?

An awesome need surged inside me to rise from my hiding spot behind the altar and confront him, to hunt the reality. But, Kang Duyi merely surveyed the room with a pensive expression earlier than departing.

It dawned on me that Kang Duyi will need to have grown suspicious of me after I discussed my intention to go looking the forest. Furthermore, the red-haired lady will need to have been collaborating with him, indicating that he was additionally conscious of the disappearance of the bloodstained kitchen knife.

I restrained myself from transferring till the upstairs noises ceased, making certain me that Kang Duyi was not round anymore.

The state of affairs had turn into way more advanced than my preliminary ideas, with two people now intertwined on this diabolical method and homicide.

However why would Kang Duyi present me with hints about devilish cultivation methods? Was he making an attempt to play the position of detective whereas being the very assassin? Or may there be one thing else behind his demeanor?

Many questions flooded my thoughts as I walked away from the remoted wood cabin, making my method by means of the forest again to my farm.

What ought to be my subsequent transfer? Confront Kang Duyi and uncover the reality? I might achieve this if I had been a naive little boy, however my information prolonged far past naivety.

It was a harmful state of affairs. If Kang Duyi hid his true nature, he may also be hiding his true energy. What if he was extra formidable than me?

Due to this fact, with out succumbing to the urge of getting myself into hassle immediately earlier than buying extra data, I made a decision to are likely to my farm. The crops had been rising quickly, and I used to be assured they’d be prepared inside three days! n–0veLBIn

Such a swift development was exceptional, and I could not wait to see if any non secular herbs, or quite, non secular potatoes, could be amongst them. Nonetheless, regardless of the crude effectiveness of non secular herbs in enhancing cultivation, it was preferable to eat them within the type of capsules, which meant I wanted to be taught alchemy!

The one predicament was the place to accumulate an alchemy cultivation method. There have been a couple of sects within the space famend for his or her experience in alchemy, though my former Cloud Sect was not one among them. But, I had no need to affix a sect at this level.

“Maybe there’s some type of black market? I’ve heard rumors of a metropolis for cultivators not too removed from right here,” I murmured to myself, contemplating the probabilities.

An alchemy cultivation method was not the one factor I wanted. I additionally required a basic meditation method that may accompany me by means of the upper realms, enhancing my probabilities of success.

I recalled from the cultivation novels that the primary character typically obtained highly effective methods bestowed upon them by the heavens. Whereas my System could possibly be seen as one thing divine, it did not present me with methods straight; quite, it assisted me in buying sources.

“Oh, my good buddy Large T, please assist me,” I uttered, gazing on the toad perched close to the properly.

As our eyes met, I detected a glimmer of information and sensed Qi emanating from his physique. All of a sudden, a brand new notification materialized earlier than my eyes.

[Beast Taming: Level 1]

[Bonded creatures have an increased likelihood of learning martial arts and cultivation. Developing the Beast Taming skill may even facilitate their evolution!]

“Large T, are you… are you a grasp cultivator? Please, educate me your methods!” I implored, bowing down earlier than Large T.
