Chapter 28: 【So-called Martyrdom, Candidate for Soul-Bewitching】 (Seeking recommendation votes)

Lu Chengtong's previous idea was to rely on himself to slowly investigate.

However, after learning that the enemy was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, he felt that his chance of avenging himself was not great.

His spirit root aptitude was too poor, four spirit roots, superior earth attribute; if it weren't for the Treasure Mirror inheritance, Foundation Establishment would be a major difficulty.

But even Ancestor Mingzhang, who had the Treasure Mirror in hand, took three hundred years to enter the Golden Core Realm.

Did he have to wait four hundred or even five hundred years?

By that time, maybe the other party would have become a Nascent Soul ancestor; how could he talk about revenge?

Moreover, if it really dragged on for so long, maybe the other party would just die of old age.

He wouldn't even have the chance to take revenge.

Not being able to kill the enemy and letting them die slowly was a manifestation of incompetence.

"A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years" was all the words of a coward, a person of incompetence.

Revenge should not be delayed overnight; this was true revenge.

Delaying time was a helpless move.

Originally, Lu Chengtong had such helplessness; he could only hope that he could grow up quickly and then go for revenge.

But this matter of Hou Zhao gave him an inspiration.

He could let others avenge him!

First use 【Soul-Bewitching Soul-Seizing】 to modify others' memories, then bestow supernatural powers to help them grow, or he could not give supernatural powers, just modify memories.

Now he could completely modify the memories of Qi Refining Realm cultivators without leaving a trace; as long as he gave a reasonable setting, those genius disciples would grow up quickly, and he could avenge his revenge one day earlier.

As for the fact that some people might die because of this, although Lu Chengtong felt somewhat sympathetic, he still had to do this.

The path of cultivation was inherently so dangerous.

He was just giving them a "goal," a bit of "pressure," and even bestowing opportunities like supernatural power Dao Fruits; if they couldn't grow up, it was a failure in the struggle for the Dao.

On the path of immortality, many died suddenly; one more or one less wouldn't cause much of a wave.

Not just the Ziyao Immortal Sect, he also had to do something about the disciples of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect.

However, he hadn't yet determined who the Golden Core Master he saw that day was; this was the first thing to clarify.

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

After much inquiry, Lu Chengtong confirmed that the Golden Core Master who killed his way into the Lu family ancestral land that day was the garrison elder of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect, Zhao Yongcheng.

Zhao Yongcheng was a pure sect cultivator, had no descendants or family, and had been guarding the Red Mist Mountain Range area.

Lu Chengtong inferred that the death of Ancestor Mingzhang was likely inseparable from this guy.

In short, this person was the Lu family's number one enemy!

The primary goal was to kill him.

Lu Guanfei's line could be investigated by Hou Zhao alone; if there were too many people, it would cause conflicts and increase the possibility of exposure.

To kill Zhao Yongcheng, he needed to place more bets; as long as one person succeeded, it wouldn't be a loss for Lu Chengtong.

He could also secretly help those he had chosen among his fellow disciples to help them improve their strength and get rid of danger.

With these people at the front, he, this plain Herb Garden Spirit Plant Master, could continue to hide.

The extermination of the Lu family was definitely not caused by Zhao Yongcheng alone; at least, in the Ziyao Immortal Sect, so many disciples couldn't have been killed just like that.

There was a large array in the Immortal Sect, and there were Golden Core Masters sitting in town, so there must be some collusion and trickery.

He had to continue investigating.

Now he had to find a few people with high talent to modify their memories and become "martyrs."

The Ziyao Immortal Sect was a large sect with a long inheritance, with a large number of disciples, more than four hundred Inner Sect Disciples, over ten thousand Outer Sect Disciples, and more than seventeen billion mortals under its rule; among them, there were naturally many geniuses.

The candidates for him to tamper with memories could not be Outer Sect Disciples, as their talent was mediocre, and they could not be Inner Sect Disciples, as they had already reached Foundation Establishment; there was only one choice, and that was the true disciples of each elder.

True disciples were chosen only for talent, not for their current cultivation.

To be chosen as a true disciple, the minimum talent had to be "double spirit roots with one superior spirit root."

Although people with spirit roots were very rare in this world, with such a large base, sifting through the sand for gold, one could always find them.

If he couldn't find them this year, he would look for them next year; if he couldn't find them in ten years, he would look for them for another ten years.

True disciples were cultivated as the core of the sect, and in the future, they would be the managers and pillars of the sect.

When Lu Xinju was attacked, his master, Fang Mu, indeed used all methods, but his foundation was destroyed; not to mention the Golden Core Master, even the Nascent Soul ancestor was powerless.

A true disciple was killed by robbery cultivators, and the Ziyao Immortal Sect indeed sent a large number of people to investigate, consuming a lot of material resources.

However, the robbery cultivators were killed, and the clues were broken.

The Beihuang Region was located in a remote area and lacked some special reconnaissance spells, so they couldn't find the person behind the scenes at all.

They could only let it go.

Without conclusive evidence, the Ziyao Immortal Sect couldn't turn against the Jinfeng Immortal Sect, and even if there was evidence, it would just be a trade of interests in the end.

Since that time, the Ziyao Immortal Sect had strengthened the protection of true disciples, which had caused some obstacles for Lu Chengtong.

After spending a month, Lu Chengtong found out the information about the true disciples at the Qi Refining Realm under each elder.

People who became true disciples had fast cultivation speeds; after being accepted into the sect, it wouldn't take long for them to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm; for example, Lu Xinju, who was only twenty-eight years old, succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, there were not many people who could be chosen.

The Ziyao Immortal Sect had a total of thirteen Golden Core Realm elders, each with several true disciples, more than ten, or three or four, adding up to no more than fifty.

There were only three people who hadn't entered the Foundation Establishment Realm yet.

They were Chen Sanqing of Lingjian Peak, Jia Gusheng of Huoyun Peak, and Yan Jiaojiao of Caiyi Peak.

Among them, the one with the strongest talent was Chen Sanqing, a superior single spirit root of metal, a true disciple of the Great Elder Xiao Yi, who walked the path of a sword cultivator; he had only been in the sect for less than four years, was only seventeen years old, and already had the cultivation of the Qi Refining sixth layer; before the age of twenty, he was expected to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The second was Jia Gusheng, double spirit roots, superior fire spirit root, medium-grade wood spirit root, wood generates fire, complementing each other; he followed the Third Elder Lu Zheng to learn artifact refining, and now at twenty-four years old, he had the cultivation of the Qi Refining eighth layer, and had quite an accomplishment in artifact refining.

Finally, Yan Jiaojiao, double spirit roots, medium-grade water spirit root, low-grade earth spirit root.

According to reason, Yan Jiaojiao couldn't become a true disciple with her spirit root talent, but she possessed the special constitution "Five Fragrances Body," and her body emitted five special spirit power fluctuations, which could affect the emotions of surrounding creatures, joy, anger, sorrow, resentment, and fear.

This made her valued by the Caiyi Peak Elder Yu Danning, who accepted her into the sect to learn the art of beast taming.

Nowadays, at twenty-one years old, she only had the cultivation of the Qi Refining sixth layer, but she possessed a Foundation Establishment Realm spirit pet and several Qi Refining Realm spirit pets, and her combat power was the strongest among the three.

If he wanted to act against Yan Jiaojiao, he had to consider the influence of the spirit pets and must find a suitable opportunity.
