Chapter 20: He is The Spy!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A few moments later, the donkey with the willow twig in its hoof stood stiffened in the same spot and began to ponder about life.
This fellow’s head was busted; his chest and lower abdomen were caved in. He looked like a deflated doll. Even if it wanted to whip him, it couldn’t find anywhere that it could hit!
“He can’t be dead, right?” The parrot said with worry. “If he’s dead, then we won’t be able to find the mudskippers and we would have no way of answering Master!”
After some thought, the donkey said, “We’d better use medicine. I think it is difficult for him to wake up if we continued to whip him.”
He repeatedly said that he was able to recover so long as we pump our power into him.
But they hadn’t even displayed a tenth of their strength yet, but he had already exploded…
Too weak.
Even if he was a cultivator, he was probably the trashiest cultivator out there.
If we continue to whip him, he might really end up dead.
“If we are to use medicine, we’d better go to Master. He seemed to have learned about the care and treatment of sows. He’s good at it too.” The parrot suggested.
“How will you explain to Master about how this fellow got injured and where he came from?” The donkey shook its head. “Besides, he doesn’t even look like a sow!”
“This…” The parrot was at a loss for words.
The donkey was right. If they told Master about this, wouldn’t he know that they already knew how to speak? If he chased them away in a fit of rage, wouldn’t that be counterproductive?
“Then, what should we do?”
“It’s simple. We just don’t let Master find out about it. Tomorrow, we’ll find a chance to go out and pick some herbs. Then, we will secretly feed him the herbs!” The donkey replied.
“But we don’t recognize herbs, nor do we know what kind of herbs can heal injuries!”
“Sigh, who cares? I think the brighter the color of the herb, the better its effects. We’ll take home a variety of herbs, and we will try them one by one. There will definitely be one that works!”
With his eyes blinking, the donkey wore a look of great confidence. “Since he’s already in this state, it doesn’t matter how we treat him. In the words of humans, it would be… doctoring a dead donkey as if it was still alive!”
“Old Man, what do you think?”
Sighing, the parrot was a little hesitant and it looked towards the old tortoise who wasn’t far away from them.
They often asked Old Man whenever they felt hesitant to decide on things.
Old Man deliberated for quite a long time. It considered all possibilities before it finally replied with confidence. “It’s great!”
“All right, we shall do just that!”
Seeing that both the old tortoise and the donkey were in agreement, the parrot knew that his objection wouldn’t have any effect on the decision. It had no other choice but to agree.
Tomorrow… we will find a chance to head out and pick some herbs.
They were serious about treating the Nirvana Demon King.
…
Pushing the door and walking out, Su Yin was slightly weary.
Last night, he was unconvinced of the outcome of his previous study, so he studied the cultivation manuals again. But the outcome was the same as before, he wasn’t able to cultivate them.
The spiritual aura that the manuals described as having the attribute of being easily absorbed wouldn’t enter his body at all. In fact, it seemed that it felt that it was blasphemous for them to come close to his body.
The spiritual aura wouldn’t come close to him, his pores wouldn’t open to absorb them. Setting aside cultivating, he couldn’t even improve his constitution.
Su Yin felt that he didn’t have an Innate Dao body, but an Innate Weak body!
What a tragedy… how wretched.
“I have to look for someone to answer my doubts as fast as possible!”
Knowing that he couldn’t afford to waste time, Su Yin made a decision. He lifted his head and swept his gaze to the three pets not too far away from him. “Big Black, accompany me to chop firewood today. Little Wu, Old Man, both of you stay here and guard the house!”
“Heehaw, heehaw!” The donkey nodded.
The tortoise and the parrot glanced at each other. Their eyes lit up at the same time.
They had been thinking of an excuse they could use to go out and pick some herbs.
But since Master had taken the initiative to go out, their problem was considered solved.
Su Yin rode the donkey and returned to the area where chopped some firewood yesterday. He patiently waited as he worked and chopped some wood. Since he managed to have a chance encounter with that talented woman disguised as a man.
There might be a chance that he would stumble across her once more.
…
In the dense mountain forest, two figures dressed in black moved stealthily.
“Careful, we must not let ourselves be discovered.”
The youth on the left instructed using voice transmission.
“Don’t worry, I’d spent a great sum to buy this Track Concealing Talisman, it can perfectly conceal our auras. As long as the person’s cultivation level has not reached the Secular Escape Realm, he won’t be able to find us at all!”
The other youth replied with confidence.
The two of them were Zhou Yuan and Liu Chang who had been secretly tailing Liu Yiyi since yesterday.
After observing for an entire night, just as they were feeling tired and unable to endure the stake out anymore, this ‘traitor’ in their eyes cautiously left his lodging.
Now that they finally caught onto his unusual actions, how could the two miss this chance?
With the Track Concealing Talisman, they followed him.
Liu Yi entered the dense mountain forest after he left the sect. As he walked deeper into the mountain forest, the two became increasingly certain that there was definitely something amiss with this fellow.
“Careful…”
They continued to stalk Liu Yi for quite a while until Liu Yi who was in front of them stopped. The two quickly hid and discovered that among the thick trees—was a youth that looked to be about 18 to 19-years-old. He had appeared in their vision at some point.
Dressed entirely in white, his eyebrows were dashing and his eyes were bright as he rode on the back of a donkey. The scene looked incredibly picturesque as if it was a painting projected upon the landscape.
“He seems to have no cultivation base at all…”
Zhou Yuan frowned.
“He might just be too strong for us to discern!” Liu Chang shook his head. “How can he possibly enter the confines of the Immortal Guardian Sect without being detected by Elder Wu and the others if he was an ordinary man?”
Zhou Yuan clenched his fists.
“I suspect that he is the spy from the other sects, and the reason why Liu Yi was able to improve so fast has to do with him!” Liu Chang nodded.
“Mmhm!” Zhou Yuan was struck by a sudden revelation.
But since they were afraid of being discovered, the duo didn’t dare to continue their conversation in any form. Instead, they hid without a sound. They didn’t even dare to breathe.
…
“Senior…” Liu Yiyi bowed.
She had already disappointed the other party yesterday since she did not reveal her identity in time. She thought that she had already lost her opportunities with him, but she never expected that she would run into him today. Realizing this, the girl was agitated.
Su Yin let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t wait in vain.
He looked at her cautiously and asked. “You learned how to chop wood from me yesterday, can I ask you some questions today?”
Su Yin had no idea of the other party’s temperament, it was better to be cautious.
“Senior, please go ahead. If I know of it, I’ll speak to you about it and do so without any reservations!”
Bowing all the way, sweat oozed from Liu Yiyi’s forehead.
The way he spoke so formally meant that he was still angry.
“How do you gather spiritual aura and take it into your body?”
Su Yin asked the question that he always had in his heart.
After faltering for a moment, Liu Yiyi looked over to him in confusion. “This is… the basics of cultivation?”
A cultivator would always grasp the concept of spiritual aura first, and then find a way to absorb it into their bodies. Why would an expert with such a powerful cultivation base ask me about this?
Could he be… testing me?
Thinking that this could be the reason, her expression immediately turned solemn and she answered rather carefully. “The gathering of spiritual aura requires intense concentration to search for and sense the spiritual aura in the area. One could then catch that spiritual aura and absorb it into their bodies.”
Noticing that her words matched with what was written in the books, Su Yin looked somewhat embarrassed as his face turned red before he asked, “Can you cultivate for a moment and let me have a look?”
The method that she described was precisely the method that I had been using.
But why was it that I couldn’t succeed?
“Okay!”
Liu Yiyi thought of something and ecstasy shone in her eyes.
She immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and closed her eyes tight.
Concentrating, she sensed for the spiritual aura in the area.
…
“He is indeed imparting Liu Yi knowledge on cultivation!”
Zhou Yuan and Liu Chang who were hiding in the distance could not hear their conversation, but they could see their actions as clear as day. Right now, they saw Liu Yi seated cross-legged as he cultivated.
A single glance alone was enough for them to understand what was happening!
He must have gotten pointers from the other party!
They knew the faces of every powerhouse in the sect, and this youth definitely wasn’t one of them. In other words, the spy… they now had concrete evidence to implicate Liu Yi!
“Even though the cultivation techniques and manuals of the Immortal Guardian Sect are not the best in Great Yan Prefecture. They are still much better than the manuals and techniques of the average forces.”
“Let us say that Liu Yi was bewitched and switched cultivation techniques…”
“It still doesn’t make sense how he was able to advance so fast within such a short period of time.”
Liu Chang coldly sneered.
He was about to continue when he felt Zhou Yuan tug on his sleeves.
In a hurry, he turned to look at Zhou Yuan and found that he had a pale look on his face. The latter’s figure also couldn’t stop trembling.
“What’s wrong?”
Following Zhou Yuan’s line of sight, Liu Chang looked over and he froze similar to him. His eyes bulged out of their sockets and looked as if they were about to fall off. “This… this is impossible!”
In the distance, Liu Yi’s aura after having reached Class 6 of the Gathering Breath Realm became increasingly stronger. It soon reached a critical point. With a ‘boom’, he broke the barrier of the next class and officially arrived at Class 7!
The fellow who had been the poorest performing disciple in the last three years had actually made another breakthrough?
How exactly… did he do it?
