Chapter 34: 【Suggestive Guidance, Your Inner Demon】 (Seeking recommendation votes)

Lu Chengtong lowered his head, carried the food into the room, placed the spirit rice and a dish made of monster meat on the table, picked up the two small bowls on top, and very skillfully took a bite from both the spirit rice and the dish, eating them.

When out and about, especially in sects like the Ziyao Immortal Sect and the Golden Wind Immortal Sect that are superficially harmonious.

One needs to let others taste it first before daring to eat.

Due to the existence of spirit Qi, cultivators are immune to most toxins, and poisons that can kill cultivators are generally unsolvable by ordinary methods.

Moreover, they basically take effect within a short period of time.

If there is poison, after eating, the spirit Qi will show irregular fluctuations.

Of course, it does not exclude the possibility of having taken an antidote in advance.

Therefore, usually, one will also carry things to test for poison, or simply not eat outside food.

After Lu Chengtong finished testing for poison, he turned and walked toward the door; when he got there, he closed the door directly.

Zhao Shanyue suddenly raised her head, and the next moment, her consciousness became blurred.

Lu Chengtong read her memories and discovered that this woman's background was also quite miserable.

She was originally the only daughter of a pair of rogue cultivator husband and wife, receiving all kinds of pampering in her childhood. When she was ten, her father went out to explore with others, and news of his death arrived.

Her mother had a low cultivation level and raised her alone. Only a year later, they encountered robbery cultivators; her mother fought with all her might to let her escape, and fortunately, she joined the Golden Wind Immortal Sect.

From then on, she was all alone.

The sect likes this kind of lone person the most; this kind of person is the one who truly relies on the sect's power and is dedicated to developing within the sect.

Anyone with a family thinks about how to poach the sect's walls to strengthen their own family.

However, although she was valued, the Ziyao Immortal Sect and the Golden Wind Immortal Sect themselves were not righteous sects with good atmosphere; they did not pick based on character when admitting disciples, and the disciples' mentalities were mixed, so she encountered quite a bit of bullying.

Lu Chengtong searched around and did not find suitable places to modify, so he could only pick a few places to provide suggestions.

For example, when her mother encountered the robbery cultivators at the beginning, he set a suggestion for her: "The Golden Wind Immortal Sect, in order to make her work wholeheartedly for the sect, deliberately directed the scene of robbery cultivators killing people and then 'happening' to save her."

It is very likely that the Golden Wind Immortal Sect really did this.

But whether it is true or not is not important. After having such a suggestion, and then using this as a basis, he pointed most of the people who bullied her toward Zhao Yongcheng's disciples.

Finally, he added a sentence like "exterminating family members to make them orphans and then taking them as disciples" was all done by Zhao Yongcheng.

Lu Chengtong did not change too much; he just gave a few sentences and added a bit of suggestive guidance in the details.

In this way, as long as Zhao Shanyue thinks deeply, she will identify Zhao Yongcheng as her enemy.

Although they both share the surname Zhao, the two originally had nothing to do with each other.

Now they do.

It could only be changed to this; if it were forcibly set as something like a father-killing enemy, there would be too many places to change, and it wouldn't stand up to verification.

The modification ended, and Lu Chengtong went out. The moment he closed the door, Zhao Shanyue woke up, feeling a bit puzzled.

She seemed to have been in a daze.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of the competition. On this day, Feng Yinan of the seventh layer of Qi Refining and Cong Yi of the ninth layer of Qi Refining from the Golden Wind Immortal Sect entered the arena one after another.

Feng Yinan had Gold-Water dual Spirit Roots, with Water being superior to Gold.

He came from a Foundation Establishment family under the Golden Wind Immortal Sect; the family had been inherited for hundreds of years, his parents were still alive, and he had almost no difficult experiences.

Cong Yi came from a "famous family"; he was the grandson of the Golden Wind Immortal Sect Elder Cong Chi.

Cong Chi was an Elder of the Talisman Hall of the Golden Wind Immortal Sect and naturally loved Cong Yi dearly since childhood, giving him the best of all kinds of resources. If it weren't for the fear of affecting his foundation, the various pills would have been enough for him to reach Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty.

Now, he was twenty-two years old and had been polishing his skills at the ninth layer of Qi Refining perfection for three years; he would soon be able to reach Foundation Establishment.

He had Fire-Wood dual Spirit Roots, with Fire being superior to Wood; this talent was not bad, and Foundation Establishment was not a problem.

With family resources, reaching Golden Core was also something to look forward to.

With a bright future and twenty-two years of life without any grievances, Lu Chengtong could not implant any revenge thoughts into the memory of such a person.

Lu Chengtong hesitated whether to strike at Cong Yi.

Because he was worried about whether Cong Chi, who was at the Golden Core Master level, would prepare any back-up plans for Cong Yi to prevent mental-type spells from causing harm.

In the end, he decided to give up.

Judging from the sparring scene, he was almost certain that Cong Chi must have treasures on him to prevent mental-type attacks.

He sparred with a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator from the Ziyao Immortal Sect, and the influence of Sword Intent on him was almost non-existent.

Lu Chengtong had an idea that he originally wanted to try on Cong Yi and Feng Yinan.

Now that he had to give up on Cong Yi, the only choice was Feng Yinan.

It was impossible for him to have such treasures; he was just from a Foundation Establishment family.

Mental-type defensive Dharma treasures are not ordinary items; they are worth a fortune. If one is not a direct descendant of a true great sect, having such treasures on one's person would be a case of "possessing a treasure is a crime."

Everything went smoothly, and Lu Chengtong came to his room and launched his supernatural power against him.

But he did not implant any memories; instead, he created an environment similar to a dream.

After a while, Feng Yinan woke up.

Just as he was in a daze, a knock on the door occurred; Lu Chengtong came in to deliver food, put it down, and left.

This was, of course, intentional by Lu Chengtong; he wanted to get rid of his own suspicion.

After Lu Chengtong left, Feng Yinan finally recalled in detail what he had seen in the dream just now.

A remnant soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator who called himself "Lu Wuhuan" had found him and even given him something called a Supernatural Power Dao Seed, bestowing upon him the divine soul power of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

The Supernatural Power Dao Seed contained the supernatural power 【Submerged Abyss Earth Escape】; looking at the description, one knew it was a powerful supernatural power.

As a direct disciple of the Golden Wind Immortal Sect, he naturally understood the meaning of "supernatural power." To put it bluntly, once the fact that he possessed a supernatural power was leaked, both great immortal sects would investigate him.

And in the memory of "Lu Wuhuan," the Lu family was exterminated precisely because of a supernatural power, and Elder Zhao Yongcheng was still continuing to investigate this matter. If he were exposed, he would surely die!

The remnant soul taught him the supernatural power and left behind a sentence.

"If you reach Golden Core, you must find an opportunity to kill Zhao Yongcheng; otherwise, I will surely turn into your inner demon!"

Feng Yinan came back to his senses, looked at the ground, and with a thought, the hard ground felt like the surface of water, directly sinking him in.

He had Gold-Water Spirit Roots, and his contact with "Earth-type" was limited to basic small spells like "Dust Removal Art" and "Stone Moving Art," so he felt it was very novel.

After trying it once, he immediately returned to his room.

This place was not safe, not to mention that he was in another sect, and that Elder Zhao, who had been investigating this matter, was also there.

He absolutely had to be careful enough.

After returning to the sect, he would immediately find an external task, leave the sect to practice, and get out of the sight of the Golden Core Elder; only then would it be safe.

Lu Chengtong did not know what he was thinking; this person could only be considered a test.

For the key investment in revenge, he still placed it on Chen Sanqing and the others of the Ziyao Immortal Sect and Zhao Shanyue of the Golden Wind Immortal Sect. The seeds had been sown, and the rest would be left to time.

Lu Chengtong withdrew his energy and began to invest in the improvement of his own cultivation.
