"Shopkeeper, do you really think that cultivators can stand on high and not care about the lives of mortals?" Mu Dan asked sadly.
Jiu Muli did not blame Mu Dan for knowing about cultivators. She had grown up in the imperial city and had experienced the hardships of the past, but she could hear the strong hatred in Mu Dan's tone. She hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Mu Dan was very sensitive, and was even extremely intelligent. Thus, in the instant that Jiu Muli hesitated, she immediately sensed what her shopkeeper knew, and so she respectfully asked: "Shopkeeper, you really know, right?"
"Right."
Jiu Muli nodded. After three years of hesitation, An Nai instantly made a decision, thus she closely followed up with a burning gaze and asked: "You want to become a cultivator?"
"Yes sir!" Mu Dan's answer was resolute and decisive.
"For revenge?"
"No!"
"Then why?"
"A few years ago, my uncle's entire family died in the tide. From then on, I've always wanted to avenge myself, but no one taught me anything."
"Being a cultivator can die at any time, it's more dangerous than you can imagine."
"I'm not afraid!"
The question and answer was extremely quick, and Mu Dan's answer was simple yet resolute!
Tribulation and great change can allow a person to grow, and Mu Dan was the same!
Therefore, Jiu Muli immediately nodded, and said: "Alright, take me as your master, I will teach you!"
In these past three years, Mu Dan gave her countless sweets, washed her bones and improved her physique. Jiu Muli originally had the intention of taking Mu Dan as her disciple, but she had always been hesitant, because the path of cultivation was filled with endless killing intent. Now that Mu Dan was willing to do it, she naturally agreed.
Just that, Jiu Muli's words were straightforward, but Mu Dan was stunned. She stared with her almond-shaped eyes, looked at Jiu Muli in disbelief, and said: "Shopkeeper, you, could it be that you …."
The change was too sudden, causing Mu Dan to be stunned.
As expected, she was still a little girl.
Seeing this, Jiu Muli was satisfied. Hence, she nodded with a smile, and said: "That's right, I am a cultivator, comparable to the Qin Shi Huang!"
"He is comparable to His Majesty, the Kaiser!"
Mu Dan's mouth was opened wide with a look of disbelief.
"If you want to, then acknowledge me as your master. Don't be in a daze." Jiu Muli raised his eyebrows.
"Alright." Mu Dan still had not recovered from the shock completely, and quickly kneeled down, and said: "Disciple greets Master."
In the third year and nine months of Jiu Muli's recovery, he had taken in the first disciple, Mu Dan!
Mu Dan, who was three months away from turning eighteen years old and needed to take Jiu Muli as his master, officially embarked on the road of cultivation!
Jiu Muli did not tell Mu Dan his name, she only told him to call her master, and then, he passed the《 Blood Coagulation Formula》 to Mu Dan!
《 Eternal Incantation》 was her fundamental cultivation method and even if she gave it to others, no one would be able to cultivate it. However,《 Blood Coagulation Formula》 was after all, a cultivation method from the Blood Coagulation Stage, and it wasn't very profound, so it wasn't really a problem.
Firstly, was that Mu Dan had extremely good talent and secondly, because she had died this time, it was unknown if she could still live through it, so she planned to leave behind a bit of the inheritance.
At the same time, she had a bold decision in her heart.
In the following month, Jiu Muli passed down almost all of her teaching ability to Mu Dan, including the cultivators' common sense, the passageway between the Next three days and the Three Mortal Heavens. Other than the cultivation technique, she had said everything she could, because the time that she had decided on was getting closer and closer.
Blacky was also very mischievous as well, and he congratulated the master on accepting a disciple before secretly handing over a space ring to Jiu Muli along with many of them.
"Master, do you have something to hide from your disciple?"
From Jiu Muli's tight arrangements, Mu Dan could keenly sense that her master must have something big to do, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that time was running out.
"Yes, Master is going to do something big, we don't know if he will live or die."
Jiu Muli frankly admitted that if this day were to come sooner or later, there was no need to hide it.
"Can you not go?" Mu Dan panicked. Now that her father had passed away, and only had a mother, Jiu Muli could be considered her second kin. She had just gone through death's door and now, she had to go through it again.
"It has something to do with my injuries."
Jiu Muli said, then comforted her: "Don't worry, I will not leave, it's just that my injury is about to break out, whether or not I can endure it will depend on the will of the heavens."
"Master will definitely be fine." Mu Dan's face immediately changed.
One month later, from among all the techniques he had acquired, Jiu Muli had picked out the < Seven Stars Breaking the Void > manual and passed it down to Mu Dan.
Although he was unable to impart the《 Eternal Incantation》, back then when Qin Zheng caused a huge commotion in the Three Mortal Heavens, he had truly acquired a lot of cultivation methods, and the most brilliant of them all was the Seven Stars Sect's fundamental cultivation method,《 Seven Stars Void Splitting Art》. This was a cultivation method that pointed straight to the core of the Great Way, and every realm was sufficient to cultivate to the great perfection stage.
But in the past few hundred years, in the entire Seven Stars Sect, no one had been able to succeed. Today, all of the Seven Stars Sect's cultivation techniques were evolved from this technique, and even she and Qin Zheng had been moved by it in the past.
Other than the fundamental techniques, there was also the < nervus abducens >, the secret art of invisibility obtained from the Sea King Clan, as well as the < vajra vitreous body > and the < Wind Blade Technique >.
The only regretful thing was that she did not dare to pass down the [mixed indestructible body] to him. After all, female fairy had not agreed to let her teach it to others.
With such a powerful cultivation technique, along with the Kaixuan Pill that she still kept, and the < Blood Coagulation Formula > as a foundation, she believed that even if she really fell, as long as Mu Dan trained diligently, it would not be difficult for her to surpass majority of the geniuses.
On this day, Jiu Muli called Mu Dan over to his front and gave him a medallion. Then, he said: "Mu Dan, take this.
"Jiuhua Hall!"
Mu Dan turned pale with fright when he heard this. In the entire imperial city, there was not a single person who did not know of the existence of the Jiuhua Hall, because that was the palace of the Qin Kingdom's guardian!
How could Master have the command medallion from the Prince Qin's chamber!
Mu Dan's mind swayed, and he completely forgot to reply.
"Stop guessing randomly, Master's name is Jiu Muli!"
Finally, under Mu Dan's shock, Jiu Muli revealed his identity.
This shock was even more intense than any of the previous ones, to the point that for an entire three days, the only thing Mu Dan looked at Jiu Muli with was admiration and reverence.
Who was Jiu Muli? She was an existence that was on par with the Prince Qin, the princess of Prince Qin, an existence countless cultivators of the Qin Kingdom revered.
This shock was too sudden and too terrifying, no matter how Mu Dan thought about it, he was still shocked.
When Mu Dan came back to his senses, Jiu Muli had already made all the preparations, and started his life threatening journey, and at the same time, the wine shop suddenly closed!
"Mu Dan, remember this. No matter what you see next, you are not allowed to touch me or disturb me."
Under Mu Dan's worried gaze, Jiu Muli ordered. Finally, he returned to his room and sat down cross-legged.
A praying mat and a wine jug. Simple and simple.
Dressed in black robe s, Jiu Muli began his long meditation.
This was a period of closed door cultivation, but it was different from a cultivator's closed door cultivation because she couldn't cultivate, so she could only sit and do nothing.
On the first day of meditation, she felt her entire body ache and her mind become restless. She was too weak, so sitting still like this was no different from torture. She drank a lot more spirit wine than usual.
On the second day, she forcefully endured the soreness, but she was already dizzy. She drank even more spirit wine than on the first day.
On the third day, her mind was finally free, but she could barely hold on for a moment.
On the seventh day, her mind was finally completely empty. She had no thoughts at all, not even the wine pot.
After seven more days, she was like a statue, but at this moment, her body was covered in a layer of cold energy. This cold energy was very cold, so cold that the entire room was covered in a layer of white frost.
At that instant, she felt as if she were in a deep slumber. However, within her body, there was only a sliver of aura of death. Without the suppression of the Spirit Wine, it started to stir and emit a dense aura of death.
At this point, her body became increasingly weak. Even as her life force faded away, her skin began to shrink. Her appearance was haggard, as if she were an old, shriveled corpse.
Seven days later, the trace of death aura in her body had completely split open, splitting into threads that surged within her body, wantonly destroying the profound vein s and even spreading towards her dantian.
At the same time, Mu Dan who was in the outside world suddenly felt an aura that was as vast as the sky gushing out from her master's room.
This aura was dark and cold, filled with endless killing intent. However, it was also very calm and grand. This feeling was extremely strange, as if he was in the midst of endless darkness.
The aura of death!
At this moment, Mu Dan who had stepped into the cultivation understood that this was the aura of death, and a pure aura of death at that.
Following the death aura's explosion, a transparent barrier suddenly lit up in Jiu Muli's room, followed by a pitch black crow that flew out from the room.
At this moment, Blacky had finally activated barrier and was guarding outside. However, no one noticed this scene!
At this moment, there was also an ethereal figure that suddenly appeared in the air. It was female fairy.
"What courage! He actually walked on such an extreme path!"
She looked at Jiu Muli who was in closed-door training, and at the deathly aura she was gushing out of her body.
Born of death!
Originally, she had planned to let Jiu Muli naturally release the aura of death, and then rely on the balance in her life force, so that her body would be able to adapt to the aura of death, and finally integrate life and death into one cauldron.
As a result, not only was Jiu Muli's Star Soul able to gain benefits, her body would undergo a transformation and change at will. She wouldn't be able to receive any kind of death energy, and she would even be able to borrow immense life force and advance by leaps and bounds.
However, what Jiu Muli was doing now was even more thorough than what she had imagined. She was completely concealing that strand of death aura, allowing it to collide with her body, using it to stimulate and transform her from death to life. At this point, if it truly reached the pinnacle of transformation, then that life force would definitely surpass any of her current strength.
Even if it had already been split, it would at least be at the peak of Venerability. If he could use this opportunity to transform it, that life force would also possess such power.
However, for Jiu Muli who only had Star King Stage, it would be terrifying if he could obtain a chance at survival at the Venerability Realm because of this.
"How audacious. As expected of the …" It's such a pity, if not for Blood Ancestor, you would have already Transcended. I hope that this time, you won't disappoint others. "
The female fairy softly spoke with a face full of emotion and regret.
