Chapter 10: Such a Cruel Kid

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting cool successfully. Reward: 50 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for killing a Nascent Soul Stage demon beast. Gained 200,000 experience points and drop rewards. View them?"

The system's notification sound rang out. Xu Que's divine sense moved, and he responded: "View!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for obtaining a Three-Star Demon Core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for obtaining Blood Python Skin!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for obtaining Blood Python Essence Blood!"

【Three-Star Demon Core】: The core inside a Nascent Soul Stage demon beast, can be used as a medicinal primer or for artifact refining!

【Blood Python Skin】: The toughest skin layer on the blood python, self-carrying poison, can be used for artifact refining!

【Blood Python Essence Blood】: The blood sac attached to the blood python's body, can be used as a medicinal primer or consumed directly, with a certain chance to refine into a hundred-poison-immune constitution!

Three more items appeared in the system package.

Xu Que thought for a moment, took out a Three-Star Demon Core, threw it in front of the Imperial Physician Sect people, and said: "I heard earlier that your junior brother was poisoned by this blood python and needs the demon core to detoxify, right? Here, take it."

The few people were stunned for a moment, unable to react.

A demon core of a Nascent Soul Stage demon beast, just given away like this?

Even if generous, they had never seen anyone this generous!

"What are you stunned for? Take it." Seeing the few people still stunned, Xu Que couldn't help but smile.

Just such a Three-Star Demon Core, he couldn't use it at all, and it wouldn't matter if he threw it away as a stone!

The few people came back to their senses at this time, and immediately thanked him repeatedly with full gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"We will never forget this kindness!"

"Senior, you are truly a good person!"

"We thank you on behalf of that junior brother."

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting cool successfully. Reward: 60 Acting Cool Points!"

Xu Que laughed, waved his hand, and said: "It's nothing, don't be polite. Come, the chicken wings are cooked, you can eat!"

For these few Imperial Physician Sect disciples, Xu Que felt they were quite good, at least they were quite righteous.

Compared to just now when he killed the Young Sect Master of the Blood Sea Sect, these people didn't think of running away at the first moment, but instead came to persuade him to leave together.

Finally, seeing that he wouldn't leave, these people actually stayed behind.

So, upholding the good moral character of "everyone for me, I for everyone," Xu Que treated them to roasted chicken wings!

The few people each received a roasted wing, and were instantly attracted by that fragrance, their index fingers moving, unable to resist opening their mouths to bite!

"Snap!"

A light, crisp sound came.

The few people widened their eyes instantly.

"This...... this is simply too delicious!"

"Too delicious!"

"The most delicious food I've ever eaten in my life, never expected chicken wings could be made like this!"

"The senior is truly a high-level expert!"

The skin layer of the chicken wings, plus honey, was roasted until crispy and oily, and the meat inside was tender, smooth, and sweet. One bite, crispy outside and tender inside, full of fragrance!

Xu Que smiled secretly. It seems the cooking skills in this world aren't very good. Just a little New Orleans roasted wings made you guys eat like this. It seems I can borrow these cooking skills to act cool in the future!

At the same time, deep in the Bone Forest, in a cave full of withered grass, an old man in tattered clothes was sleeping!

His hair was scattered, and his body was full of strong alcohol smell. At first glance, he looked like a drunken beggar.

But what was surprising was that beside him, two Nascent Soul Stage Red Flame Tigers were lying, and they were shivering!

The old man was sleeping soundly, but suddenly sat up from the grass bed, his nose twitching, and muttered: "What smell? Why is it so unique? Old man hasn't eaten any food for hundreds of years, didn't expect to have an appetite today!"

The two Red Flame Tigers' bodies trembled instantly, their eyes full of fear, not daring to say a word, for fear of being eaten by this old man.

"Useless things, what are you afraid of? With your little bit of rotten meat, it's not enough to enter this old man's eyes!" The old man glared and cursed, then twitched his nose again, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment on his face.

A few breaths later, he licked his lips, looked at the old Red Flame Tiger again, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out what I asked you to check? I want to see which death-seeking person dares to impersonate my disciple, Duan Jiude."

The two Red Flame Tigers trembled and replied: "Found...... found out. Half a month ago, a teenager named Xu Que appeared in the Profound Heaven Sect territory, claiming to be your disciple, Duan Ji...... Senior Duan. Rumor has it that to protect a small village, he slaughtered countless sect members, later held a banquet at the Profound Heaven Sect, resolved conflicts with various sects, and shook hands to make peace!"

"Just like that? How ridiculous. What kind of bullshit Profound Heaven Sect, a bunch of idiots, just casually a liar comes out impersonating my disciple, and they believe it?" The old man sat cross-legged, picking his dirty feet while cursing.

The two Red Flame Tigers endured the disgust and shook their heads: "Not just that. It is said that on the night Xu Que held the banquet, Elder Sun of the Profound Heaven Sect took the Yin Ghost Sect to slaughter that village. Xu Que was furious after returning, and some people saw him holding a girl, spitting out heart blood on the spot, and then went alone to slaughter the entire Yin Ghost Sect, tying over a hundred corpses together and going to the Profound Heaven Sect to settle accounts with Elder Sun!"

"Yo, such a cruel kid, actually tied the corpses together after killing them, tsk tsk tsk...... Such a person dares to impersonate my disciple. If it weren't for the fact that this old man happened to be wandering in the Fire Origin Kingdom and heard about this, wouldn't my lifelong reputation be ruined by him? Hmph!" The old man said indignantly.

The two Red Flame Tigers showed bitter expressions, secretly slandering in their hearts: it seems your reputation is even more ruined, old man? That Xu Que's actions can't even compare to one of your fingers.

The old man sat there cursing for a while, then continued to ask: "What happened later? How was that kid at the Profound Heaven Sect?"

"Later, that kid killed Elder Sun in front of the Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master, and destroyed more than half of the Profound Heaven Sect. Now the Profound Heaven Sect has become a laughingstock, and the foundation built over hundreds of years was destroyed all at once! But what is puzzling is that the kid finally escaped unscathed. The Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master searched for half a month, but couldn't find a single trace."

"Oh? The Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master should be at the Infant Transformation Stage, right? Actually couldn't catch a little kid, truly shameful! But having said that, that kid's cultivation talent is quite good, comparable to the Saint Sons and Saint Maidens of some holy lands. After all, being able to kill someone under the nose of an Infant Transformation Stage expert and escape unscathed, at least he must be at the Nascent Soul Stage Level 7 or 8!"

Speaking of this, the old man laughed heh heh, picking up a cup of tea with great interest and taking a sip.

The Red Flame Tiger's face was strange, and it smiled bitterly: "Senior Duan, you...... you were wrong. That kid is only at the Core Formation Stage!"

"Puff!"

The old man spat out a mouthful of water instantly, widening his eyes: "What? Core Formation Stage? You guys have such guts, are you treating this old man as a fool? Can a Core Formation Stage cultivator kill a Nascent Soul Stage expert in front of an Infant Transformation Stage expert? Come, come, you get up, this old man will practice with you!"

"Senior, spare my life, Senior, what we said is all true, absolutely true! Willing to guarantee with our lives!" The two Red Flame Tigers said with tears in their eyes.

The old man frowned, full of suspicion: "Really?"

"Really!" The Red Flame Tigers' heads nodded crazily.

The old man touched his chin, revealing a strange smile: "Heh heh, interesting! But he used my name to go out and swindle, this matter cannot be easily let go. You two, go out and find out properly. If you can't find that kid's whereabouts, you are dead!"

"Yes!" The Red Flame Tigers hurriedly replied.

The old man said 'en', his gaze swept toward the outside of the cave, and he took another deep breath: "Ah, this smell is getting stronger and stronger, can't bear it. You guys hurry up and find someone, this old man is going out to stroll around. The talent who can make such delicious food must be caught back to the cave."

Swoosh!

As soon as the words fell, only a gust of wind sounded in the cave, and then the dirty old man disappeared without a trace! ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
