Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 923: Deal Completed

    

d by wild beasts!"As soon as the words left her mouth, Dú's beast-shaped emblem and Ripple's ripple-patterned beast-mark flared simultaneously, confirming the oath. Ripple's venom fang blade grazed Dú...Feng heard Duo Duo pledging loyalty, and idly swished his tail, feeling incredibly fortunate. He was personally brought back from the disaster realm by his master, and with his master's help, he entered the path of demon cultivation. Now, he had even advanced to the fourth rank.

Even if the master leaves this realm, he will take himself with him. That's not necessarily true for Dodo, so he doesn't have any intention of vying for favor with her.

Each person communicated with their beast and plant pet within the formation. Mainly, Ripples and Doudou discussed how to make a deal with these people. Ripples was truly coveting that poison called "曇花一現".

Two hours later, the formation in the distance was finally lifted. Five men of grotesque appearance surrounded a man in white robes and walked towards Lian'er.

The Ripple Divinity had long sensed this, so it retracted the formation beforehand and stood in place waiting for the other party to approach.

The white-robed cultivator's complexion had improved significantly at this time. Evidently, the effects of the third-grade Soul Condensing Pill were very good. His cultivation hadn't fallen again, remaining at the middle stage of the Golden Core. Therefore, he came to express his gratitude:

"Thank you, fellow cultivator, for being willing to exchange pills with me and relieving my urgent need. I am deeply grateful, and I also apologize on behalf of the previous few brothers for their rudeness towards you."

"You're welcome, it's an equal exchange."

Ripples hugged the whirlwind, now back in its kitten form, and giggled in response.

Then, she changed the subject and jokingly suggested:

"I have another deal here, I don't know if any of you are interested."

"Please speak, fellow cultivator."

After Xiaoliu relieved the dull pain in his sea of consciousness, he directly took over the right to communicate. His five older brothers also stood aside, looking at Lianyi with gratitude on their faces.

"I have a way to remove the poison from your five older brothers, but after they recover, I would like to invite all of you to join my sect. What do you think"

The ripples said with a smile.

Just as the ripples broke the news of five people being poisoned, although the faces of the six people opposite did not change, their breaths were slightly unsteady.

"How did you know my five elder brothers were poisoned"

The man in white asked with difficulty.

"Isn't this obvious You are all cultivators, having gone through countless levels of advancement, the impurities in your bodies have been mostly eliminated. Not to mention that after a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they can reshape their body, including their appearance. Your current looks, apart from being poisoned, what other explanation could there be"

Ripple smiled and asked back.

"Fellow cultivator, do you know what kind of poison is among us"

A Yuan Ying-stage cultivator with slitted eyes asked bluntly.

"A fleeting moment."

The ripples didn't mince words and told the other party directly.

A few people looked at each other, as if they had never heard such poison before.

Ripples gave a simple introduction to the origins and nature of this poison, then waited a moment for them to digest the information.

The white-robed male cultivator's face was a mixture of joy and sorrow at this moment. His five brothers seemed to be very excited as well, but no one spoke a word.

"Why are you helping us"

The man in white spoke.

Ripple pursed her lips into a smile, then said:

I want to use the poison on them to get revenge on a traitor from our sect, and I'm also very curious about the true appearance of your several brothers. After all, you are so handsome, your several brothers certainly won't be any worse.

The ripple's answer made the white-robed man a little embarrassed, but he lowered his eyes slightly, adjusted his emotions, and then looked up again and said:

"Besides joining your sect, what other price are we to pay"

The man knew very well that no one in the cultivation world would be kind to him for no reason.

"Their cultivation would regress by one level, this poison had already integrated with their cultivation, a drop in cultivation was inevitable."

"Several senior brothers, my cultivation is the lowest, let me come first."

The male cultivator at the mid-stage of the Golden Core was the first to step forward and speak.

Several people looked at each other, silently nodding in agreement. They were also tired of being ostracized.

Since someone had already taken the first step, Lian Yi wouldn't let them down. This time, she set up a new isolation formation and had the other person sit cross-legged in the center of it. Then, Dou Dou floated over and wrapped itself around their body.

Flashes of crimson light passed through each blossom's heart, then flowed through the male cultivator's body via his entwined stems.

Ripple sat down cross-legged at random and then began to communicate with the man in white.

What name should I call you, fellow cultivator

"My name is Yue Jinqi. I come from a family of cultivators. My five older brothers are Yue Jinping, Yue Jianhong, Yue Jilan, Yue Jianhe, and Yue Jinlin."

Yue Jinqi introduced his five older brothers one by one. At this time, the one who was detoxifying was his fifth older brother, Yue Jinlin.

"Well, just by the names I can tell you two are brothers."

"Yes, my brothers and I are very close. Although my five older brothers were driven out of the family because of a poison that disfigured them, they still take good care of me. Even as wandering cultivators, they haven't fallen short in providing me with cultivation resources."

It's clear they even went to the trouble of robbing people on the street for you.

Liàn Yī chuckled, causing Yue Jǐnqí to feel a bit embarrassed.

"What should I call you, fellow cultivator"

"I am Qiao Lianyi, a direct disciple of the Wuyun Sect."

A ripple reveals its source.

"So you are a cultivator from the Five Aggregates Sect. No wonder you possess such extraordinary insight."

Yue Jinqi bowed respectfully.

"You just said that your six brothers were driven out of the family. What's the reason Although you brothers all look alike, your cultivation is not bad. Losing so many high-level cultivators, the family's strength will be greatly reduced, right"

Ripple said plainly.

"My father was bewitched by a demon woman, who despised my several older brothers for bringing him shame. So he drove me and my brothers out of the house when we were still infants. At that time, all five of my brothers had only just reached the foundation building stage."

After a hundred years, my five brothers raised me while also venturing into the cultivation world to earn resources for their cultivation. They've had their ups and downs along the way, but they've made it to today. If anything were to happen to me, I imagine my brothers would go back to trouble our father.

Yue Jinqi's eyes darkened, and he said.

It seems we are destined to meet. I happen to have three Cinnabar Soul Condensing Pills, and you just happen to have the Purple Gold Sand I need to upgrade my natal sword. Some things are just meant to be.

"Wait until a few of your brothers' poison is cured, and you join the Wu Yun Sect. Afterward, your development won't be worse than your family's, and who knows, they might even come crawling back to you begging for help. By then, you can settle accounts with them one by one, there's no need to risk yourself now."

Ripples said to the hurricane as it swirled:

"What Qiao Daoyou said is right. The better we develop and the higher we stand, the more regretful the head of the family will be. With his narrow-minded disposition, he will sooner or later develop a demon in his heart."

Ye Jinqi nodded and said, he didn't even bother to call the other party "father," only addressing him as "head of the family."

"Little Liu, look!"

Si Ge Yue Jin He spoke up, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Ripples and Yue Jinqi looked simultaneously towards the center of the formation. Yue Jinlin's cultivation was slowly falling, but Dòu's roots and stems were becoming increasingly lustrous to the naked eye.

Not until Yue Jinlin's cultivation reached the early stage of Jindan did Duo Duo contentedly retract her own roots, then she floated back to Lian Yi's hair bun and began refining the toxicity of "曇花一現".

At this time, Yue Jinlin had already opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a breath of air, and then looked at his brothers.

"Little Five, you've become handsome!"oned her Lei Yaō Sword, cleaving towards Korret's direction with a single blow as everyone watched in astonishment.In Lawrence's eyes, Ripples held an ancient sword. As she swung it, a purple light be...
