Chapter 526: Try and You Shall Pass Away (33 Today 1w)

【"Hmm? Why do I suddenly feel like someone is bad-mouthing me behind my back?"】

Just a moment ago, Sikong Yu clearly sensed a wave of malice, this feeling... yes, that's right, someone was bad-mouthing him behind his back!

After pondering for a moment, he quickly locked onto the suspects and cast his gaze outside the mountain gate.

【"So close, it must be them, right?"】

【"Hey, hey, hey!"】

【"You master and disciple have finally reunited with such difficulty, I wasn't even planning to interfere, how can you bad-mouth me behind my back!"】

Not good, this is very not good!

How can one talk behind people's backs?

【"Just say it to my face, I wouldn't get angry, at most I'd just reason with you and teach you how to be a person..."】

After muttering to himself for a while, Sikong Yu decided to ignore those fellows with low moral standards.

They were already ruined, hopeless waste-adults, with no need for salvation.

After leaving the space to the two of them, Ren Yidao returned to his Cave Abode after a long absence; as soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene before him.

As long as I, Sikong Yu, do my best, I can prevent that group of bad things at Luoyue Peak from polluting Xinying!

But unfortunately, the Xinying over there completely ignored Sikong Yu's earnest teachings, excitedly jumping back and forth in the Daoist Field, hands raised high, mouth constantly shouting: 【"Father has returned! Father has returned!"】

You are engaging in shameful free-loading!

【"Sigh... raising a child is truly difficult!"】

Ren Yidao said words that Ren Huan could not understand at all, leisurely resetting the last prop to its place.

【"Little darling Xinying, don't you think what they are doing is very bad? Listen to Grandmaster, you must never become an adult like them in the future!"】

Just now, Yaoyue was by his side, and Ren Yidao was worried that she, a mighty being who had stepped into the Ask Dao Peak twice, could detect the fluctuations in his Consciousness Sea, so he didn't contact Ren Huan immediately, enduring until now to ask.

【"There are almost no problems, only a few places have misrecordings, which should have been deduced by oneself, but it has little impact on cultivation."】

【"I didn't steal it! How could I steal it! That wasn't me acting on my own! It flowed into my body by itself!"】 Ren Huan was even angrier when Ren Yidao brought this up, arguing strongly: 【"It was you who didn't absorb it, and it ended up dissipating in the Consciousness Sea, pouring into me all at once!"】

Sect Leader Sikong Yu's mood was melancholy again today.

"Don't drag on so much, I'll just ask you, did you get the benefits or not!"

Ren Huan's confidence was clearly lacking, and her momentum weakened.

"So, can you make up for some more?"

Friend, just because I don't say it, doesn't mean I don't know.

If it weren't for the Qingzhuan Dojo being isolated from the outside world, she would likely have slipped away at the first opportunity to run and find her father for a hug.

"Although our company has some problems with capital turnover now, affecting cash flow, there are still other ways! Equity, dividends, year-end bonuses, benefits, job transfers, promotions... tell me, what do you want?"

His face twitched, he sighed helplessly, then took down the Prayer Beads wrapped around the cross, and pulled the wooden stick of the Wooden Fish out from the hole in the statue's palm; this abstract design was clearly the handiwork of a certain woman surnamed Jing, it seems she was really bored while watching the house alone.

I did the work, I put in the effort, but what about you?

We had an agreement back then, an agreement that it would be money in one hand and goods in the other.

"Besides, it's not like you didn't take my benefits, it's not like you didn't get a share of my Faith Power, don't be in such a hurry to deny it, you secretly intercepted quite a lot."

【"This... where did you find this?"】 Ren Huan hadn't paid much attention at first, thinking Ren Yidao had just found some fragmented remnants, but when she looked, she realized she was wrong.

But some people can still be saved!

His Divine Soul reached out, looking at Xinying who was hiding in a blind spot of his vision, and said earnestly:

"Given by my cheap master, take a look and see if there are any problems."

"Just chatting with you." Ren Yidao smiled, didn't waste words, and directly transmitted the newly obtained Avatar Technique to Ren Huan.

"Whoa, what kind of artistic fantasy is this."

While organizing his prop wall, returning them to their original shapes, he sent an invitation for a conversation to Ren Huan in the depths of his Consciousness Sea.

Without money, everything is in vain!

"We can talk, tell me, what do you want now?" Ren Yidao smiled slightly at the Demon God demanding her wages, spreading his hands: "Everything is negotiable, don't be excited, everything can be discussed!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you home? Are you home?"

Children are the hope of everything!

"Take a look at this Avatar Technique, see if you can remember the remaining parts?"

The six-tailed little fox in the Consciousness Sea nodded, then tilted her neck and snorted coldly, 【"Why should I help you? You owe me for a long time and haven't paid!"】

【"I can, after filling it in, it will only be a little bit off, some brilliant and talented people should be able to deduce the final part, however..."】

This could almost be considered the full text.

Ren Huan had previously said mysteriously that she might know the full text of the Avatar Technique.

【"... I took it."】

Seeing this, Sikong Yu sighed, feeling increasingly weary.

【"What?"】

It is to be spurned by others!

The reborn working Demon God quit, baring her fangs at the black-hearted entrepreneur who wouldn't pay wages.

Give me money!

"That settles it then." Ren Yidao rolled his eyes, but didn't take it to heart; he had a very low demand for Faith Power himself and didn't care at all about the little bit that leaked away.

"However, the original Faith Power shouldn't have been much, it was all divided up, where exactly did this extra portion come from... oh! I understand."

After hanging the Thunder Fire Sword obtained at the Immortal Sect Grand Competition on the wall, Ren Yidao suddenly realized, realizing what he had forgotten.

"It was after making a name for myself at the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, my name became known to more people, and as a result, a certain amount of Faith Power was automatically generated."

What is the most important thing that needs to be done for missionary work?

It is to let the name of the god be heard by more people, and to let more people understand the god.

On this point, whether intentional or unintentional, active or passive, the difference is actually not that great.

Ren Yidao made a name for himself in Beiming, and people in other parts of Shenzhou also knew his name, naturally generating a portion of Faith Power.

"Although it's not as massive as the Faith Power of the Demon Race, it's not a small amount either." Ren Yidao pondered for a while and discussed with Ren Huan: "How about this, I'll give you this portion of Faith Power as a gift, and you stop mentioning those remunerations or whatever to me; it sounds too distant."

This isn't bribery; this is a gift for a friend.

The item might be the same, but the nature of it is vastly different!

【"Really?"】

Ren Huan was somewhat tempted. For Her at this moment, this Faith Power was indeed a good thing, but She still added: 【"Don't worry, I won't keep taking it. Once I fully recover my physical body, I won't be lacking these, and you can use them on yourself then."】

"Then let's wait until you've fully recovered. I'm still counting on you to cover me then." Ren Yidao didn't pay much attention to it; it was just giving away a bit of Faith Power. Compared to a Demon God Remnant Soul in the same camp, this price was far too light.

Low investment, high return; this deal looked very profitable at a glance.

"Besides, this thing is useless to me right now. If you have a use for it, take it. Anyway, you wouldn't harm me, would you?"

【"... Fine, I will protect you then."】 Ren Huan was silent for a moment, then hid Her emotions and passed a modified Avatar Technique to Ren Yidao.

Ding ding ding!

Obtained "Ten Thousand Demon Incarnation Art" (95% new)!

"However, how should I tactfully give this version to Yaoyue? Say I realized it myself? I could, but it seems a bit too exaggerated."

No genius could realize all of this immediately after receiving it!

"Forget it, I'll give it to her after some time and just say I found some more fragments."

"But, it's just missing this little bit, should I complete it myself?"

If it were only 70% complete, Ren Yidao wouldn't even attempt it.

If it were 80% complete, Ren Yidao would think about it and then give up.

If it were 90% complete, Ren Yidao would be very tempted, then painfully throw it aside to keep himself from looking at it.

But it just happens to be 95% complete!

95%!!!

Only half a percent left until it is perfect.

Only half a percent away!!!

"..."

Ren Yidao felt his obsessive-compulsive disorder acting up; there was a kind of itching that clawed at his heart and scratched at his liver.

A voice whispered and stirred in the depths of his heart, tempting him to walk down a forbidden path.

"How about, I try?"

Ren Yidao's lips moved, and he sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion of his own accord, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself:

"Trying is just trying!"

"I'll only deduce, I won't actually practice it!"

Huhu, I'm just rubbing against the outside this time, I absolutely won't go in!

Hmm.

Only deduce, never circulate Qi.

Ren Huan:?

【"He wants to deduce? A bit too impatient."】

Feeling Ren Yidao's movements, Ren Huan originally wanted to stop him, but then thought of Ren Yidao's talent when he learned the Ten Thousand Daos Fusion Thought Art, and suppressed Her own thoughts.

Ren Yidao felt he was taking a risk and believed that only those who were Asking Dao were qualified to deduce, but Ren Huan did not think so.

Deducing techniques requires strength and insight, but it values talent even more.

In Her eyes, with Ren Yidao's talent, he had actually long been qualified to deduce the Avatar Technique.

A person like him, if placed in the past, would absolutely be able to open a sect, attain the Dao, and become an ancestor—truly the makings of a Demon God.

【"It's just a pity, born at the wrong time."】

【"Even someone with such talent will eventually be trapped before the final step; isn't this the cruelest kind of punishment?"】

Ren Huan had forgotten much, and even now had not recalled the true reason for the change in Heaven and Earth, but this did not prevent Her from making inferences after finding clues in fragmented memories.

She had an intuition.

The true reason for this change in Heaven and Earth did not originate from the Heavenly Dao, but from someone playing tricks in the dark!

【"Someone attained the Dao, and not only wanted to be the only one in the world, but also wanted to block the path of those who came after..."】

Ren Huan sneered, whispering in a cold, chilling tone: 【"Can you block it?"】

And just as Ren Huan spoke chillingly, behind Her, in the deepest part of the Consciousness Sea, the Divine Statue in the shrine slowly opened its eyes.

【"Heh."】

"Senior Uncle, we cannot continue walking to the right."

Zhang Mang sat atop the Ink-Earth Yellow Sand Tiger, which had revealed its original form, and pointed to the left: "Walking this way, ahead are white light and red light."

"Red light, huh..."

Chu Hairen frowned, thinking of the red light he had encountered before. The thrill of that moment still made his spine feel cold, and he asked with some unwillingness: "Then what about the right?"

"Oh, the right is black light. Want to try it?"

"... Forget it."
