Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 34: Blood of the Heavenly Peng

The harvest was mediocre.

Not everyone is as wealthy as Zhu Bo.

Although She Xuan is a rich woman, she is only moderately wealthy, far from being as generous as Zhu Bo's boss. Lu Bei took the silver tickets and the Monster Cultivator secret technique scroll, ignoring some obvious feminine fabrics, and carefully studied a pile of bottles and jars.

Zhu Bo mentioned repeatedly that She Xuan is good at poisoning. Coincidentally, Lu Bei was very curious about Mongolian and Han medicines, so he opened them one by one, whether they were powders or liquids, and dropped them on She Xuan.

The effect was mediocre. She Xuan's face turned green and purple, and she spat out black blood, curling up like a dead snake.

"Indeed, knowledge of pharmacology requires guidance from professionals. Self-study won't lead to success."

Lu Bei abandoned the bottles and jars and went to the altar to investigate. Soon, he found the keyhole and inserted the key he obtained from killing monsters.

The altar emitted a bright light, evaporating the impure snake blood on it, revealing three sealed white porcelain bottles.

In addition, there was a letter pressed under the three bottles.

Lu Bei vaguely saw the words "To my disciple" on it. After a moment of silence, he opened the letter and read it.

"My disciple, your arrival here indicates that you have found the secret letter I left in the deep underground palace. You are truly the disciple I carefully selected. Although I don't know your name yet, I trust my own judgment. Your talent is extraordinary, and you will surely bring glory to the Ascension Gate..."

Lu Bei: (;)

He choked on his words and didn't know where to start. He swallowed them back and continued reading.

The mystery is revealed. The surprise I left for you is not the Buddha-faced Golden Body Spider. With your perfect Foundation Building cultivation, it is certain that you will pass through without any danger.

Lu Bei: ()

Perfect Foundation Building cultivation? What perfect Foundation Building cultivation? Did he skip a level?

Right, he hasn't even gone down the well of the Ascension Gate.

These three bottles of Monster Race blood are what I obtained after going through hardships and trials. One snake, one dragon, and one heavenly peng. We are all members of the Ascension Gate, so naturally we should choose the blood of the heavenly peng. As for the dragon and snake blood, you can handle them yourself.

If you have nowhere to place them, don't throw them away. Leave them here. When you can't break through and seek immortality, go to the far west and capture a fierce beast to lock it here. Let my disciple come and challenge it. Isn't that exciting?

Rest assured, I have measured it. The water system here is flourishing, and the formation is naturally formed. Unless there is a collapse of spiritual veins, it won't be discovered by anyone within two hundred years. It's very safe.

Lu Bei: (;)

He silently put away the letter, his thoughts complicated. Thousands of words turned into one sentence: "I was worried about tarnishing the reputation of my sect, but it turns out I was naive. I was just a small thief, and the real master thief is my master!"

Upon careful consideration, Lu Bei realized that it was indeed the case. Very well, he found the reason why Three Pristine Peak, that neglected mountain, was in such a state.

"But what use is the blood of the heavenly peng for me? Can I become a Monster Cultivator by drinking it?"

Confirming that his master Mo Buxio's cultivation was astonishing, Lu Bei decided to trust him for now. He raised his hand and took the bloodlines of the dragon and heavenly peng, leaving behind the snake blood. He held it in his hand and squatted in front of She Xuan.

The seal was opened, and a faint bloody smell spread out. She Xuan, who was curled up and motionless, trembled and regained consciousness. Her eyes shone as she looked at the porcelain bottle, and then she raised her hand...

Smack!

Lu Bei slapped She Xuan away and smiled kindly, "Do you want it?"

She Xuan: "..."

"Swear allegiance to me, and I will introduce you to a livelihood that will ensure you have no worries for the rest of your life."

Lu Bei carefully examined She Xuan from top to bottom. Well, despite being a bit older, her figure was excellent, and her face was stunning. Coupled with the charm and the identity of a snake spirit that Monster Cultivators naturally possess, she had a lot of selling points.

The future appearance of the little fox at home was uncertain, but this ready-made one could be used for now.

And, as he said, she would be very useful.

"You can forget about it!"

She Xuan was filled with a mix of sadness and anger under Lu Bei's scrutinizing gaze. She resisted her desires and said, "If I serve you, I will definitely be better off dead. It's better to let you kill me with one strike."

"You have a point. It is indeed difficult for a strong person to submit."

Lu Bei compromised, "Alright, how about this? Swear to serve me for three years... no, five years... no, ten years. After ten years, we'll go our separate ways. I'll go my own way, and you can crawl back to the sewers. We won't have any relationship anymore."

"..."

She Xuan closed her eyes and remained silent. Serving as a slave for ten years was no different from a lifetime of servitude. Moreover, considering Lu Bei's intention to kill her, whether she could survive for ten years was still a question.

"Auntie Snake, as a snake, you shouldn't be too greedy. If you can survive, you've already gained a life."

Lu Bei sharpened his knife on the ground and said, "I can also promise you based on my character. Within these ten years, we will only have a superior-subordinate relationship. I won't actively harm you. Is that acceptable?"

Just you! Still talking about character?

She Xuan almost laughed out of anger, not because she looked down on it, but because she really looked down on it.

"Speak up, if it works, make a hissing sound. If it doesn't, I'll take a piece of snake skin."

"Only I swear, you just make a verbal promise?"

"Auntie Snake, don't act innocent after taking advantage. If you really go against your oath, you'll only lose your life, but I'll lose my character!"

"..."

These shameless words almost made She Xuan die of anger. She took a deep look at the vial containing pure blood, then at Lu Bei's smiling face. Her breathing quickened, and she tremblingly reached out her hand.

Sometimes, selling one's soul and principles is not embarrassing. What's embarrassing is not selling them at a good price.

The current price was right, so she decided to work for ten years.

It was truly not easy to cultivate. If she didn't agree today, it would be a dead end. Even if she could survive, the path to advancing her bloodline would be difficult.

"Don't worry, take the oath first. Your things won't be missing."

Just before She Xuan touched the porcelain bottle, Lu Bei raised his hand slightly, lifted his chin, and signaled for She Xuan to show her sincerity first.

"I...swear."

She Xuan said it intermittently several times, and when she finally let go, she felt completely exhausted. She recited the emotionless oath, and the blood imprint burned into her skin, causing her to almost faint from the pain.

The good news was that she fulfilled her previous promise and only took one item, eliminating a blood curse.

Then she experienced excruciating pain.

The method of the Monster Cultivators had a special refining process. She Xuan obtained the source of bloodline and held it tightly in her arms. The joys and sorrows of people were not the same. Lu Bei didn't understand her excitement. He waved his hand and asked her to leave first, agreeing to meet in the Jade Chime District using a secret code.

She Xuan felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She suppressed her desire to enhance her own bloodline and swung her snake tail...

With a thud, she fell to the ground.

She had lost too much blood and had been poisoned by various strange substances, making it difficult for her to move for a while.

Lu Bei pursed his lips, took out some medicine, and instructed her to stay and recover. He wiped the blood off his mouth and turned to the cave of the Buddha-faced Golden Spider.

"Brother Bo, Lao Luo, I'm back." Lu Bei clenched his fist and coughed lightly, wiping away the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, forcing a faint smile.

"What happened? Little brother, how did you get injured again?" Zhu Bo asked anxiously. They only heard Lu Bei and She Xuan fighting in the passage, getting farther and farther away, and then they didn't know anything.

"Brother Bo guessed it right. The snake demon hasn't left yet. She ambushed me several times using her familiarity with the underground palace. I only have a partial understanding of breaking formations, so although I have a stronger strength, I couldn't match her cunning. I had no choice but to come back and recuperate."

Lu Bei's face looked grim. "Brother Bo, I have something to tell you, but don't get angry."

It sounded familiar, as if someone had said it somewhere before.

"No need, I'm already angry."

"That's good, if you're already angry, then it's not my problem."

Lu Bei smiled awkwardly. "When I was fighting the demon woman, she knocked the compass off in the formation. I don't know where it went."

I knew it!

Zhu Bo rolled his eyes and couldn't help himself. "Brother Lu, check your Universe Bag. Maybe it fell in there!"

"That's impossible, I checked it before."

"..."

Zhu Bo rolled his eyes again, and Luo Ban, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sway.

"Brother Bo, don't worry, it's just a compass."

Lu Bei hurriedly said, "I have some good news too. Your father's treasure fan is still with me. I held onto it tightly and spat out dozens of mouthfuls of blood to prevent the demon woman from taking it away."

"I see. I'll go back and get some medicine money to help you recover."

"You can't do that, you can't."

Lu Bei repeatedly waved his hand. Seeing that Zhu Bo had no further response, he asked, "How much?"

"..."
