Using Girls To Lure In Sect Applicant (Xianxia) - Chapter 10: Heart Demon Technique
After expressing her gratitude to the esteemed uncles, the three animals suddenly disappeared, as if what Yu Lan had just seen was merely an illusion.
But the cultivation technique in her mind told her that this was definitely not an illusion.
Yu Lan had never imagined that the process of imparting cultivation techniques in the Divine Vision Sect would be so simple and rough.
However, she was curious. Hadn’t the Divine Vision Sect considered what would happen if a disciple accepted the technique and then fled the sect?
If they engrave such an important technique into the disciple’s mind, wouldn’t it be easy for the disciple to leak it out if they had any rebellious thoughts?
For someone like her, who had harbored thoughts of escape since she entered the Divine Vision Sect, it would be no problem to spread the technique everywhere after leaving.
For any sect, cultivation techniques should be of utmost importance.
She couldn’t understand. This Divine Vision Sect was truly strange—from the moment He Youzhou mentioned that the purpose of the Divine Vision Sect was to slay immortals and exterminate gods, she found it peculiar.
However, it was an undeniable fact that the Divine Vision Sect had shown great kindness to her.
Yu Lan was not an ungrateful person, but it was still unlikely for her to stay in this dilapidated sect.
She had already decided that once she mastered the Heart Demon Technique, she would quietly leave the Divine Vision Sect.
As she thought about this, Yu Lan glanced at He Youzhou, who had been standing beside her all along.
And it was this glance that made her freeze in place, almost forgetting to breathe.
Before mastering the Heart Demon Technique, no matter how she looked at He Youzhou, she didn’t consider him particularly powerful.
She knew her master was a cultivator, but she also knew that his strength was only at the Foundation Building stage.
The Foundation Building stage was roughly the bottom level for cultivators. As the sect leader, this was indeed a strength that couldn’t be shown off.
However, as she re-evaluated He Youzhou now, she felt like she was looking up at a towering mountain, and that mountain had no visible peak.
She had a feeling that no matter how many years she cultivated, she would never surpass He Youzhou.
At this moment, when she had just mastered the technique, it was also when her insight was the strongest—so her feeling was not wrong.
“Yu Lan, let’s go. The esteemed uncles won’t pay attention to us anymore,” He Youzhou called out to Yu Lan.
He thought Yu Lan was still reminiscing about the process of receiving the technique, so he intended to snap her out of it.
He also understood that receiving the technique in such a way was quite frightening, but the effect was very good. After one transmission, there was no need for a second.
Of course, the Divine Vision Sect didn’t always transmit techniques like this. In the past, when there were plenty of techniques in the Scripture Repository, disciples would find and learn them by themselves.
It’s just that now, with no one in the Divine Vision Sect and no techniques left in the Scripture Repository, the masters had to transmit them in this way.
By the way, Zhi Shi also received the technique in the same manner back then.
The possibility of disciples betraying them was something they had actually considered.
But the Divine Vision Sect decided not to care about such things. Anyway, they had already had one traitor, so having a second one didn’t make much difference.
At that time, there were only He Youzhou and a few masters left in the Divine Vision Sect, so this decision was easily made.
Using “Slaying Immortals and Exterminating Gods” to attract ambitious disciples was one of the unreliable plans they came up with.
Of course, this wasn’t deceiving people. The Divine Vision Sect really would do such things.
“Yes… I understand,” Yu Lan mumbled sleepily, following behind He Youzhou.
It wasn’t until she had walked a considerable distance that she suddenly realized she had left the Scripture Repository behind.
Coming back to her senses, she looked at He Youzhou again, only to find him looking just as ordinary as before.
Her kind master appeared to be nothing more than a modestly dressed woman. Despite his exceptional beauty, that was all there was to it; he didn’t emit any intimidating aura.
“Was it just my imagination?” she couldn’t help but murmur.
“Are you still not accustomed?” He Youzhou turned his head and asked. “If that’s the case, just go rest directly.”
“Thank you, Master. I’ll go rest now,” Yu Lan didn’t refuse. She genuinely thought that she was still not accustomed, hence the hallucination.
“There are plenty of rooms, just pick one yourself,” He Youzhou said. “But you’ll have to arrange the furnishings yourself; we don’t have any servants in our sect.”
The Divine Vision Sect was not a big sect anymore. Nowadays, they have to fend for themselves in everything they do.
“You can’t continue like this; I have a feeling the number of people in the sect will increase,” He Youzhou muttered to himself.
He had successfully implemented the strategies he had learned from novels and comics, and he was confident that things would only get smoother from here on out.
He Youzhou had initially been worried about not being able to start accepting disciples smoothly, but after accepting Yu Lan, all his worries vanished.
It was too smooth, almost unbelievably so, and it turned out that finding and tricking a beautiful girl was so easy.
But if the number of disciples increased, the sect’s expenses would also increase.
The Divine Vision Sect currently had no self-sufficiency, so it was time for him to make some money.
“Yu Lan, go rest on your own; I need to speak with your senior sister,” He Youzhou said, then turned and walked towards the main hall.
Before Yu Lan could bid him farewell, her master had already walked far away.
Helplessly, she found a room with a decent location.
The room she found had fairly complete facilities, at least suitable for living without any problems.
Unfortunately, the room hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, with a thick layer of dust covering everything.
“Rest? How can I rest like this?” Yu Lan sighed, her sigh sounding pitiful.
However, in this remote and desolate place, appearing pitiful was of no use. It wasn’t like she was in a brothel with various young masters to cater to.
During her time in the brothel, she never had to lift a finger to clean her room.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the Divine Vision Sect, the first thing she did wasn’t cultivation, but rather cleaning her room.
Before cleaning her room, Yu Lan pulled at her clothes and loosened her belt.
Her master’s coarse cloth clothes really made her uncomfortable. After loosening it a bit, she finally felt liberated.
With her belt undone, Yu Lan took the opportunity to inspect the room’s furnishings.
She noticed a prominent painting hanging in the room, depicting a large ring with various deities depicted on it.
However, unlike the benevolent appearance of deities worshipped by the common folk, the deities depicted in the painting looked particularly ferocious.
In contrast, there were some cultivators in the painting, most of whom were deceased, with only a few still alive.
“It gives me the creeps just looking at it,” Yu Lan muttered, reaching out to roll up the painting and placing it on the table. “I’ll replace it with a landscape painting another day.”
