Chapter 64: Heartbreak

Hearing these words, Luo Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought her junior sister had met with trouble.

It is good that she is fine, it is good that she is fine.

"Since you have entered the basics of your technique, cultivate diligently; the day after tomorrow I will find time to guide you."

Luo Yao nodded, watched her master leave, and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she was not discovered, otherwise...

However, if it is the day after tomorrow, she did not know if she could still conceal it.

This should not be happening.

He had to cultivate a demonic cultivation technique he had obtained before, barely breaking through, but due to qi deviation, his Dao foundation was damaged, and he had little time left.

A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage was not someone she could deal with.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Array shook instantly, yet it was not broken.

Boom!

Luo Yao raised her hand and struck out an attack, then leaped backward, flying outwards.

Afterwards, she saw Gongsun Ming open his eyes and look at her.

As a result, he was already injured, and while providing support, he was besieged by Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ziguang Sect, causing his injuries to worsen.

Moreover, Luo Yao tried sending a Sound Transmission Talisman to Xu Xi, but there was no response at all.

He cultivated the Heavenly Demon Technique, and the object of his nourishment must cultivate the Heavenly Yin Art for him to repair his damaged Dao foundation.

Luo Yao's heart was uneasy; while circulating her technique, she also activated the secret art she had cultivated.

Returning to her Cave Abode, Luo Yao wanted to cultivate, but she could never calm her mind, a trace of unease always lingering in her heart.

However, although hidden very well, it was still discovered by someone with a keen eye.

"Pah, don't even think about it!"

Moreover, he had no time to wait, so upon seeing that Luo Yao had entered the basics of her technique, he eagerly planned to use Luo Yao as a Cauldron to recover his injuries.

He recited the incantation, then once again drove a wisp of Spirit Power into Luo Yao, only to freeze in shock.

He used a secret art from the Heavenly Demon Technique to search for a suitable target for nourishment, and happened to discover Luo Yao, so he took her as his disciple.

"If you had not refused to cultivate the Heavenly Yin Art all this time, how would I have taken another disciple..."

Although she did not know what Gongsun Ming intended to do, it was clearly not something good; more importantly, the master she had always respected was actually going to try to kill her, and that was what she could not accept.

Unless Xu Xi's location was cut off from the outside world, preventing the Sound Transmission Talisman from connecting, or Xu Xi had met with trouble.

After returning, he discovered that Luo Yao had not yet cultivated the Heavenly Yin Art; he was somewhat angry, but for the sake of the future, he could only comfort Luo Yao.

What happened afterwards, Luo Yao understood clearly.

Fortunately, his luck was good, and he discovered another promising candidate who could cultivate the Heavenly Yin Art, and who was relatively obedient.

"Sigh, Yao'er, do not blame your master." Gongsun Ming suddenly sighed, a hint of tenderness flickering in his eyes, only to be replaced by red light the next second.

But Gongsun Ming had already set up an Array; Luo Yao could only take out a stack of Talisman Paper and bombard the Array.

Carrying these thoughts, Luo Yao walked toward her own Cave Abode; when she passed Xu Xi's Cave Abode, she froze in place. According to reason, if Xu Xi had left due to some matter and sent a message to the master, she should have also sent a message to her.

Thus, after emerging from seclusion, he planned to search for a suitable Cauldron.

"Why is there no response?"

Suddenly, she realized the truth, staring fiercely at Gongsun Ming, "Where is Junior Sister Xu? Is Junior Sister Xu's disappearance connected to you..."

That is, by using a Cauldron to draw Yin to supplement Yang.

Gongsun Ming sneered, "Naturally, but that is all your fault..."

After emerging from seclusion, he took Luo Yao as his disciple, always wanting Luo Yao to cultivate the Heavenly Yin Art to the Minor Success stage as quickly as possible.

Luo Yao's pupils contracted, her face turned extremely ugly, and her heart turned to ash, "Master, why..."

Luo Yao curiously approached Gongsun Ming; she did not understand why her master guided her here; was it not safer within the Sect?

But she did not dare to ask.

Since returning to the Sect, Zhao Yang had entered seclusion to heal his injuries; once his injuries recovered, he kept a close watch on Luo Yao, and indeed, he caught an opportunity.

Unfortunately, human planning cannot match heavenly design; his injuries could not be delayed forever, so he had no choice but to use Xu Xi, who had just cultivated the Heavenly Yin Art, as a Cauldron.

"Considering the master-disciple bond between us, I will let you rest in a land of tenderness; you may rest assured!"

Two days later, Luo Yao received her master's voice transmission.

However, when Luo Yao first began cultivating, she suffered backlash, so he had to simply modify the technique again.

"Why?" Gongsun Ming suddenly had bloodshot eyes, black qi rising from his body, "Naturally, to survive."

Luo Yao's face turned extremely ugly, and she cursed, "I thought of you as my master, yet I never expected you to be so vicious..."

She hurriedly left the mountain gate, avoided the direction of the great battle, and rushed toward a place far from the Xuanyuan Sect.

Luo Yao finally understood why Gongsun Ming had always forced her to cultivate the Heavenly Yin Art; the purpose was this all along...

However, Xu Xi's strength was too weak, and she had only just begun cultivating, so she still could not restore his injuries.

Watching Luo Yao smoothly circulate the Heavenly Yin Art, Gongsun Ming nodded in satisfaction, then drove a wisp of Spirit Power at Luo Yao.

In despair, he discovered that the demonic cultivation technique possessed a method to bring the dead back to life.

"Hmm?"

Luo Yao suddenly discovered she could not move.

However, by the time he finished modifying the technique, the Xuanyuan Sect had sent him out to provide support; helplessly, he could only let Luo Yao cultivate on her own within the Sect.

She obediently followed her master into a nearby Cave Abode.

He thought Luo Yao had deliberately lured him out so her master could fight him; terrified, his soul nearly fled, he turned and ran, and only after discovering no one was chasing him did he mutter curses while rushing back toward the Sect.

"That's right." Gongsun Ming sneered, "Taking you as my disciple was merely because your aptitude might suit the Heavenly Yin Art."

It turned out that when Gongsun Ming attempted to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, he failed, yet he could not accept it. He consumed a vast quantity of Pills to force the breakthrough, and the result was a demonic deviation.

But now, not only had he sent no message to her, he had left no words behind.

Yet hearing that Gongsun Ming had never truly intended to take her as a disciple from the very beginning, her heart instantly filled with bitterness and grief.

"You had better save your strength!" Gongsun Ming stood up expressionless and walked before Luo Yao.

"Master~"

In the end, Luo Yao, who simply could not calm her mind, went to Fang Qingyan's Cave Abode to talk with her.

"Rest assured, there will be no pain!"

Zhao Yang followed quietly behind.

Fortunately, he had endured it, yet he had not given up on the breakthrough.

However, after trailing for a while, Zhao Yang fled swiftly, for he saw Gongsun Ming's figure appear beside Luo Yao.

Luo Yao forced a bitter smile. "So, Master, taking me as your disciple was never because..."

Luo Yao's heart skipped a beat. She looked up to see her Master sitting cross-legged, eyes tightly shut, chanting a spell formula.

After Gongsun Ming entered the Cave Abode, he set up an Array, then had Luo Yao sit cross-legged to cultivate the Heavenly Yin Art.

She hoped even more for the first kind.

Gongsun Ming also realized it, his face turning gloomy. "You have not cultivated the Heavenly Yin Art..."

Only this could explain why he could not draw upon the Spirit Power within Luo Yao's body.
