Chapter 50: The Collapse of Yun Lingshuang

Shortly after Ye Xiyun left, a sneaky figure hurriedly approached from a distance.

The person was none other than Yun Lingshuang.

After arriving at the deserted village, Yun Lingshuang first observed the surroundings to ensure that there was no one around. Then, he headed straight for the dry well.

After jumping into the well, it didn't take long for Yun Lingshuang to find the hidden spot, remove the brick, and take out the oilcloth package inside. Without taking a closer look, Yun Lingshuang stuffed the package into his arms and jumped out of the well.

He had obtained the scripture, and it could be read anywhere, but leaving here first and finding a safe place to read it was the safest option.

Yun Lingshuang was an ambitious person.

When he initially joined the Ferocious Fang Sect, with his High-Grade Fire attribute spiritual roots talent, he was just an inner disciple within the sect.

However, how could being a mere inner disciple satisfy the ambitions of Yun Lingshuang?

Coincidentally, when an elder of the Ferocious Fang Sect suddenly came up with a plan to infiltrate the Tianxuan Sect, Yun Lingshuang decisively volunteered to be the undercover agent.

Firstly, within the Ferocious Fang Sect, where competition was fierce and life-threatening due to its status as a demonic sect, even though he was an inner disciple, having just joined the Ferocious Fang Sect, he lacked cultivation, techniques, merits— climbing up would be extremely perilous. Carelessness could even cost him his life in the competition among disciples.

But being an undercover agent was different.

Being an undercover agent in a righteous sect, even though competition within righteous sects was brutal, it wouldn't involve life-threatening dangers like in demonic sects. Moreover, since the elder chose to execute this undercover plan, there must be something very important to do. To carry out this undercover plan, he would have to climb to a high enough position within the Tianxuan Sect. At least he had to be an inner disciple to have a chance to access core tasks.

Therefore, in order to become a core disciple, wouldn't the Ferocious Fang Sect have to provide him with some cultivation resources to climb up? And once he became an inner disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, wouldn't the resources of inner disciples of the Tianxuan Sect belong to him too?

This was a win-win situation.

After much consideration, Yun Lingshuang decided to take the risk. Moreover, Yun Lingshuang thought well; with his High-Grade Fire attribute spiritual roots talent, wouldn't it be a sure thing for him to enter the Tianxuan Sect and become an inner disciple or even a direct disciple? After all, in a Ninth Tier sect, how many High-Grade spiritual roots disciples would be willing to come over?

The reality was cruel, though. This year, unexpectedly, three High-Grade spiritual roots disciples were recruited. Yun Lingshuang felt the pressure immediately.

Of course, that wasn't the most distressing thing for Yun Lingshuang. What really hurt Yun Lingshuang's pride was Ye Xiyun, this guy with a Low Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root. He dared to humiliate him time and time again!

He, Yun Lingshuang, has a High-Grade Fire attribute spiritual roots, even if he entered a mid-grade sect, he would be specially cultivated by the sect elder. Now, he was actually humiliated by a guy with a Low Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Especially the grudge of being captured! Unforgivable! If there was a chance, he would definitely take revenge, no, he would repay a hundredfold. He let himself be captured by a monkey, so he would cut off his jj, make him a eunuch!

He wanted to see him kneel in front of him begging for forgiveness.

Sometimes, hatred is the greatest motivation for a person to strive upward.

But Yun Lingshuang also knew that with his current strength alone, he couldn't deal with Ye Xiyun, this guy who was on the path of body refining.

So, the promise of techniques given by the Ferocious Fang Sect was his hope for rising!

Although he didn't know what techniques the Ferocious Fang Sect gave him, a high-level technique, a high-level body refining technique, were the promises made to him before he went undercover. Yun Lingshuang believed that the Ferocious Fang Sect wouldn't go back on their word.

And these two techniques were the foundation for his rise in the Tianxuan Sect! After all, high-level techniques could only be accessed by inner disciples. He could cultivate them as an outer disciple, which was several steps ahead of others. By then, as long as he distinguished himself, he would have the opportunity to become a direct disciple!

Ye Xiyun... Just wait to be stepped on by me, to be crushed under my feet, step by step!

Filled with beautiful fantasies of stepping on Ye Xiyun in the future, Yun Lingshuang found a safe place and carefully opened the package in his arms.

The first thing that caught his eye was the "Rakshasa Body Refining Technique". A high-level body refining technique, not bad. Although the cultivation was quite difficult, for the sake of success, what was a little hardship?

Beneath the "Rakshasa Body Refining Technique" was a piece of paper with four big characters written on it—

"The Sunflower Inner Canon?" Yun Lingshuang looked at the hand-copied scripture with some excitement, and there was no doubt in his mind why this scripture was a hand-copied version.

Turning to the first page, the second page contained an introduction to the Sunflower Inner Canon. It talked about how practicing under sunlight would double the speed of cultivation, and after cultivation, the speed of Sunflower spiritual energy circulation in the body would be faster than other similar techniques, and the Sunflower spiritual energy was particularly pure.

The page full of descriptions of the technique's characteristics made Yun Lingshuang's heart beat faster, and his mouth watered.

What a treasure, what a great technique! This is the beginning of my rise, Yun Lingshuang thought excitedly.

With a trembling heart and shaking hands, he hugged the scripture tightly, not wanting to let go.

With love in his heart and care in his hands, he vowed not to give up until he succeeded in cultivation.

With trembling hands, he turned to the next page. Two lines of big characters caught Yun Lingshuang's eyes.

On the left side of the page, it was written: "Desire to practice this technique," and on the right side, it said: "Must first castrate oneself."

Then... Yun Lingshuang was dumbfounded.

What— What's going on?

What does it mean to desire to practice this technique and must first castrate oneself?

Explain to me what it means to desire to practice this technique and must first castrate oneself!

Yun Lingshuang quickly flipped through several more pages. The handwriting was the same, and it didn't seem like a prank. There was no mention of being able to cultivate without castration later on.

Then, Yun Lingshuang tried to activate the technique as described. As the scripture stated, if one didn't castrate oneself, the meridians would ache all over, and there was a possibility of meridian rupture if one continued to forcibly cultivate.

This time, Yun Lingshuang didn't even dare to try again.

But— I wanted to rise to power!

Yun Lingshuang placed the scripture on the ground, grabbed his hair forcefully, stood up, sat down again, stood up once more, then walked in circles, back and forth, feeling like his mind was going crazy.

Is this— Is this a joke?

I want to rise, not to torture myself!

Haven't you heard of "the first cut is the deepest"? Why do I have to choose between success and my little brother?

I'm only in my teens, just entering puberty, my life is not complete yet, there are so many things I haven't enjoyed yet. Even if I joined the demonic sect, you shouldn't use such a technique to mess with me!

If you don't want to give me a high-level technique, at least give me an intermediate one. Especially when I think about the rules of the Ferocious Fang Sect, rewards are only given once, and there is no appeal for dissatisfaction. Thinking of this, Yun Lingshuang had an impulse to cry.

He looked at the scripture, then lowered his head to look at his little brother's position, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and gathered his courage.

I'm sorry, I just don't have the courage for this...

Looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, tears welled up in his eyes. At this moment, Yun Lingshuang felt as melancholic as a protagonist in a youth literature about lovesickness. Only by looking up at a forty-five-degree angle at the sky could I prevent my tears from falling.

What did I do wrong? Why do I have to choose between success and my little brother in front of me...
