Chp 2381: Transcend the Souls

Unable to get a room in the inn, Yi Liang had no choice but to find a commoner’s house to live in.

Ordinary people’s houses were not the best, but at least the three of them would have a place to rest.

Yi Liang told the house owner that he wanted to join the Yinyang Sect, but didn’t have spirit stones to book a room in an inn.

Only then did the owner let Yi Liang stay.

The room arranged by the house owner was very small, but Yi Liang was already very satisfied with it.

Ning Shu said to Yi Liang, "Take out the blood soul banner."

Yi Liang took out the blood soul banner and put it aside. Ning Shu's consciousness entered the blood soul banner. The blood soul banner was churning with endless black energy, filled with all kinds of dark and desperate emotions.

Ning Shu wanted to check what it was like inside. Those black smoke and souls were a vicious weapon. No matter whose hands the banner ended up falling into, it’d only cause disaster.

Ning Shu wanted to transcend the souls and disperse the malevolent yin energy in it.

Most importantly, Ning Shu didn’t want Yi Liang to use the blood soul banner. Once he tasted the pleasure of getting something for the price of nothing, he won’t be able to quit. If he began to think that he could become more powerful as long as he killed people, he’d lose control over his own mind.

However, there were quite a lot of souls in here, all full of resentment and despair. The malevolent yin energy was their umbrella and nourishment.

As they continued to devour souls and attack other people, the malevolent yin energy would only become stronger.

Ning Shu withdrew her spiritual consciousness and arranged a yang gathering formation.

She had no choice but to do it slowly.

Ning Shu lay on the ground, closed her eyes, and started to chant.

When she was an Mt. Mao Taoist priest, a black hole-like void would appear to suck the soul away when she succeeded in transcending them.

However, the souls in this blood soul banner were very difficult to transcend. First and foremost, the strong malevolent yin energy was the biggest obstacle.

Meanwhile, Yi Liang was taking the little fox out to buy some food and find some news.

The closer he got to the Yinyang Sect, the worse his mood became.

He was filled with anticipation and intense anxiety.

He hoped that his sister wasn’t in the Yinyang Sect, being made into a furnace. He was also afraid that his sister had already become a furnace.

Considering how the Yinyang Sect worked, if they could turn the girl into a furnace, they definitely wouldn’t care if the girl was young or not.

Yi Liang’s heart had been uneasy since they first started heading to Heaven’s Gorge. It only became more anxious as he heard more and more rumors on the road.

Yi Liang came to regret killing Yi Shengjie so quickly. He should’ve tortured him more severely.

Yi Shengjie had sent his younger sister to the Yinyang Sect, which was a hell on earth for women.

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, every woman who entered that place would become tools for the disciples of the Yinyang Sect to cultivate with.

Holding the dirty little fox, Yi Liang inquired for news in taverns and teahouses, wanting to hear more rumors regarding the Yinyang Sect, as well as its exact location.

It turned out that this town was the closest one to the Yinyang Sect.

Yi Liang listened to some useless news for a long time. Most of the men just discussed how lucky the disciples of the Yinyang Sect were. They got to get strong while embracing plenty of beauties. Some unsightly vulgar words also came out of their mouths as they spoke.

Yi Liang had bought some food for Ning Shu and was planning to go back when he saw an old beggar crouching on the corner, covered in tatters.

Yi Liang took out a piece of silver and threw it into the broken bowl in front of the old beggar.

The old beggar opened his eyes, saw the silver in the bowl, and thanked Yi Liang again and again.

Yi Liang thought for a while, then crouched beside the old beggar and asked, “Old man, how many years have you been in this town?"

The old beggar smiled as he took the money, and said, "It’s been many years."

"Then let me ask you something."

Ning Shu, who was in the middle of transcending the souls of the blood soul banner, heard the sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes and looked at the door to see Yi Liang standing there, his facial color unpleasant.

Yi Liang had bought a roasted chicken for Ning Shu and put it in front of her.

Ning Shu didn't immediately begin to eat the roasted chicken. Instead, she first asked Yi Liang, "What did you find out?"

Chp 2382: Why Don’t You…

The little fox swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth and told Ning Shu, “It’s going to be difficult for us to enter the Yinyang Sect and find Yi Liang’s sister.”

“What do you mean?” Ning Shu asked while biting some chicken meat.

Yi Liang replied, “Heaven’s Gorge is foggy all year round. If you don’t have the correct directions, you’d lose your way when you enter. Moreover, there are all kinds of poisons in the valley.”

The more he spoke, the more crestfallen his expression became.

“Is it possible that the heavy fogs are an illusion, or created with a formation?” Ning Shu asked the little fox.

“I haven’t seen how it is yet, so I don’t know if it’s an illusion or not,” the little fox said.

“Let’s just slowly think of a way.” Ning Shu narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Yi Liang again. She kept staring at him.

Yi Liang was very anxious and didn't even notice Ning Shu's scrutiny.

Ning Shu asked the little fox, who was eating the candied fruit, "Are there any disciples of the Yinyang Sect here?"

"I-I won’t mow," the little fox said indistinctly with his mouth full.

“You have to eat less sweets. Otherwise, you’d become a little fat man in the future. You won’t even be able to run around then.” Ning Shu couldn't understand why the little fox liked sweet food so much.

It was too much, especially the candied fruit, which was all candied and sweet enough to make someone lose their teeth.

"There should be. The disciples of the Yinyang Sect also probably leave the sect from time to time," the little fox casually said.

Ning Shu looked Yi Liang up and down, who was fair-skinned and had no Adam's apple yet.

"I know a way we could enter the Yinyang Sect," Ning Shu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Yi Liang was still thinking about how to enter the Yinyang Sect to find his sister. When he heard that Ning Shu had a way, he immediately looked at Ning Shu.

“There’s one kind of person that the Yinyang Sect would absolutely welcome, and that’s a woman. Why don’t you just pretend to be a woman?” Ning Shu said.

Yi Liang was dumbfounded. After he snapped out of it, he immediately shook his head. “I refuse.”

“I think it’s a good idea.” The little fox jumped. “It’s perfect!”

Yi Liang: …

Perfect?? It wasn’t these two foxes that’d have to pretend to be women. Of course it was perfect!!

“Is there no other way? It seems rather difficult to pretend to be a woman, and it’d be too easy to see through.”

When someone touched his lower part, he’d immediately be exposed.

“Our goal is to enter the Yinyang Sect and find someone, so let’s just enter the Yinyang Sect first. Do you want to find your sister or not?” the little fox quickly shot off, obviously filled with schadenfreude, since the situation had nothing to do with him.

“Although this little fox is incapable of mustering even the slightest good intention, what he said is reasonable,” Ning Shu nodded and said.

When Yi Liang thought of Yi Rou, his heart hurt. He finally nodded and agreed to pretend to be a woman.

Yi Liang went to the clothing store to buy women’s clothing while trying to ignore the shopkeeper’s strange gaze.

Yi Liang put on the women’s clothing and combed his hair into a bun. He had good-looking skin, red lips, and pearly teeth. Moreover, wrapped in women’s clothes, his upper body looked indistinguishable from a female’s.

His male identity would only be revealed when he spoke.

Ning Shu had Yi Liang speak softly and slowly. If he could avoid speaking, he should. It’d be better if he just stood there silently. That way, he was quite beautiful.

Yi Liang, who was wearing women’s clothes, wasn’t used to it. He kept tugging at them.

“Practice well,” Ning Shu said with a straight face.

Yi Liang imitated a woman’s attitude and gave Ning Shu a shy wink.

Ning Shu: Shudder...

"Just act normal, and wear a veil," Ning Shu said.

Yi Liang put on a face veil, revealing only a pair of clear eyes. He drew his eyebrows slightly with an eyebrow pencil, and they looked like mountains in the distance.

He looked like a beautiful woman with a pair of clear eyes.

Chp 2383: Take a Fancy to What???

Yi Liang, who was disguised as a woman, started walking around on the streets every day. If he wasn’t doing that, then he was going in and out of various locations, like taverns, for instance.

They hoped that a disciple of the Yinyang Sect would take a fancy to him.

Yi Liang: Take a fancy to what???

Meanwhile, Ning Shu was busy trying to transcend all the souls in the blood soul banner. Sometimes she’d ask Yi Liang for some blood. Since his blood was the blood of a pure, chaste boy, it contained yang energy.

Yi Liang asked about what Ning Shu did with his blood, and Ning Shu just told him that the blood soul banner was a little restless and she needed its master’s blood to suppress it.

Yi Liang didn’t protest and just gave Ning Shu some blood before he went out to parade himself around.

Ning Shu used Yi Liang's blood to draw a spell on the blood soul banner. When she drew the spell, the souls in the banner became restless, and even the banner itself began to tremble.

Fortunately, Ning Shu had learned some profound spells by now. With them, she suppressed the rioting souls, although only barely.

The souls would naturally be very uncomfortable. After all, yang energy was something that could hurt and destroy them.

The malevolent yin energy in the banner was slowly weakening and dissipating. With the yang gathering formation as well as her incantations, the effect was multiplied.

The banner became more agitated, but Ning Shu stubbornly suppressed it.

She wouldn’t let those souls rush out of the blood soul banner.

Otherwise, they’d turn on Yi Liang.

During the few days of Yi Liang’s ostentation as a proper beauty, holding a clean little fox in his arms, he attracted many people to him.

Finally, someone came forward to flirt with him.

As the person’s eyes swept across his body, Yi Liang felt like he was being stripped by this gaze.

Yi Liang's heart was really sour.

Yi Liang was invited to a teahouse by a man who was wearing peach-pink clothes.

It was hard to imagine a man wearing peach-pink clothes. Yi Liang couldn’t even bear to look directly at him. It felt like his eyes were being stabbed.

Auspicious clouds were embroidered on the clothes, which were said to be the sect uniform of the Yinyang Sect’s disciples.

Yi Liang: …

The eyes of the Yinyang Sect’s disciple continued roaming on Yi Liang’s body. His gaze was filled with lecherous intentions.

How clear could the eyes of a person who’d been drunk with women for a long time be?

Yi Liang lowered his head in a shy expression and stroked the little fox's fur

The little fox's mouth was bulging, as he was eating candied fruit. He perked his ears up as listened to the two people.

The disciple of the Yinyang Sect saw that Yi Liang was a peerless beauty. His breathing became more rapid as he saw Yi Liang’s plump breasts and buttocks.

This girl, he thought, was much prettier than those furnaces in the sect.

Yi Liang, seeing that the Yinyang Sect disciple kept staring at his chest, couldn’t help lowering his head. Was there anything wrong with his chest??

It was completely flat. Why was this person drooling as he stared at his chest???

Yi Liang felt sour. There was only one phrase that could aptly describe what he wanted to express: This f*cking peeper!!!

“Miss, how old are you? Where do you want to go?” Meng Xu restrained his unbridled eyes and asked Yi Liang.

Yi Liang lowered his head and said while pinching his voice, "This little girl's name is Si Shu. This girl wants to go to the Yinyang Sect."

Yi Liang's voice was changed by the little fox's illusion into sounding very pleasant and soft, with an indescribable feeling of shyness, which made Meng Xu shiver with enjoyment all over. His expression was filled with pleasure.

Yi Liang: …

When Meng Xu heard that Yi Liang was going to the Yinyang Sect, a light flashed in his eyes, and he asked again, "Why are you going to the Yinyang Sect?"

"I want to find my older sister. My sister is in the Yinyang Sect. The people of the Yinyang Sect said they’d accept my sister as a disciple, but my sister hasn't come home for a long time. I want to go and see my sister." Yi Liang spoke innocently.

Meng Xu scolded her as a fool inwardly. How could a woman leave after entering the Yinyang Sect? It was ridiculous.

Her sister had probably become a furnace that thousands of people had ridden.

Chp 2384: Do You Think I Look Like a Bad Guy?

Meng Xu puffed out his chest, stretched out his hand, and patted the nonexistent dust on his clothes. He then lightly said, "If you want to find your sister, I can help you. I happen to be a disciple of the Yinyang Sect."

"Really?" Yi Liang asked with feigned suspicion. "My father told me that there are many bad people in this world and that I can’t trust strangers."

"Do you think I look like a bad guy?"

Yi Liang: Definitely…

Meng Xu finally persuaded Yi Liang to go to the Yinyang Sect with him.

However, Yi Liang said he had to go back and get something. Meng Xu followed behind.

“Hurry! We’re going to the Yinyang Sect.” Yi Liang walked into the room, put away the blood soul banner from in front of Ning Shu, and took his bundle.

There was some poison in the bundle, prepared just in case.

Ning Shu stood up and followed Yi Liang out the door, then saw Meng Xu.

Meng Xu, seeing Ning Shu who was dirty all over, asked, “Do you want to take this too?”

“This dog grew up with me. Can we bring him?” Yi Liang asked.

Hearing the beauty’s earnest request, Meng Xu’s body went numb. Of course he’d allow it! “Okay, but you have to keep an eye on it. Don’t let it offend the senior brothers in the sect.”

Meng Xu took Yi Liang to Heaven’s Gorge without flying on his sword. He said that there were too many people there, and it wouldn't be good to be flying on the sword.

Along the way, Meng Xu was attentive to Yi Liang. He was apparently trying to trick him into joining the Yinyang Sect.

Yi Liang asked if Meng Xu knew his sister.

But how could Meng Xu possibly know her? All the women who came to the Yinyang Sect had only one name: Cultivation Furnace.

No one cared about what they were called before.

As they got closer and closer to Heaven’s Gorge, the fog became thicker and bigger. The white fogs were indeed very thick.

If two people were caught just a little too far away from each other, they’d no longer be able to see each other.

The level of visibility was very low.

There was also no wind around, so the fog couldn’t be dispelled.

Ning Shu thought that this fog was a bit concerning.

“What are you doing?” Yi Liang shouted in a low voice.

“Hehe. Since it’s foggy here, we should hold hands.” Meng Xu’s voice was very obscene. He was pulling Yi Liang’s hand and his thumb was still rubbing against Yi Liang's skin.

Yi Liang almost vomited out of disgust.

Ning Shu inwardly had a moment of sympathy for Yi Liang, but then silently grinned and laughed.

Ning Shu bit a corner of Yi Liang's clothes. In this situation, she couldn’t afford to get lost, otherwise she’d keep wandering around in circles in the fog.

Ning Shu released her spiritual consciousness to check their surroundings to see if it was a formation.

Natural fog probably wouldn't last this long.

However, the fog actually prevented people from investigating their surroundings.

Ning Shu could only inspect a range of five meters in diameter around her and no more.

She withdrew her spiritual consciousness. This fog was probably made with a formation. It must be the great mountain protection formation of the Yinyang Sect.

After walking for a long time, they were still in the fog. It felt as if they were standing still and didn’t move forward at all.

“Senior Brother, did we accidentally go the wrong way?” Yi Liang couldn’t help asking Meng Xu.

“No, we’re on the right path. It’s just that the distance is a bit far. I have a disciple token, so I can’t get lost.” Even as Meng Xu spoke, he didn’t control his hand and kept touching and rubbing Yi Liang's hand.

Yi Liang: …

Yi Liang had no choice but to endure it. The bow was already strung, there was no going back.

They had no idea how long they’d walked, but suddenly, something opened up in front of them.

This was a big courtyard that stood on the mountain. It was very big and filled with many rooms.

Chp 2385: A Sweet and Ambiguous Smell

A variety of herbs were planted in the mountain. There were also some gorgeous flowers that were blooming.

Ning Shu sniffed and smelled a sweet and ambiguous smell in the air, which made people feel warm and restless.

"Be careful. Some of the herbs are poisonous," Meng Xu exhorted Yi Liang.

Yi Liang just nodded, his body trembling slightly.

Meng Xu took Yi Liang into the gate of the sect, and the sweet smell in the air became more obvious.

There were also some weird sounds.

Ning Shu saw a man and a woman doing indescribable things under a tree.

The man had his trousers dropped to his knees. Only the hem of his shirt blocked them from seeing his butt. It was obvious what he was doing at a glance.

The woman’s eyes were blank, although moaning sounds were coming out of her mouth.

This was the first time that Yi Liang saw such a thing. His face turned beet red and he quickly looked away.

Ning Shu, meanwhile, looked at it without any qualms. However, she was looking at the woman. The woman’s face was crimson, but her expression and eyes were blank as if she wasn’t truly conscious.

The further inside they went, the more unbelievable the situation became. These disciples were doing this kind of thing everywhere. They were doing it along the rockery, the pavilion, on the grass, and even on the railing without any scruples.

Moreover, Ning Shu also saw two disciples of the Yinyang Sect who were doing indescribable things close to each other. They had the women bend their bodies while holding onto the railing.

While they chatted, the two disciples would even switch women from time to time.

And these women didn’t resist at all. They didn’t have any emotions. They just occasionally moaned to liven things up for the disciples.

The people of the Yinyang Sect didn't regard women as human beings. They regarded them as items, which could be exchanged or borrowed. Anyway, to them, they were cultivation furnaces.

Yi Liang’s face was flushed because of embarrassment at first, but that quickly became replaced with anger. His face became paler and paler as he thought of the possibility that his sister might be treated like this.

Meng Xu turned to Yi Liang and said, “This is heaven.”

Yi Liang was trembling with anger.

Shameless f*cker!

Ning Shu retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the eye-damaging view. These kinds of indescribable actions were being played out almost everywhere.

Heaven?

It was only a paradise for men. What had these women ever done to deserve this?

How was it, that even in a world where respect was given solely based on strength, women were still in a weak position?

Was it because some men wanted to become strong, so it was only natural that they forced women to be like this?

Cultivation was about changing one’s natural fate. As long as they set their mind on it, one could do everything, but wasn’t this going too far?

Meng Xu took Yi Liang to his room and told him, “Stay here. Don’t come out.”

“But I need to find my sister,” Yi Liang anxiously said.

“Wait here. I’ll help you find her.”

“You mustn't walk around. You saw the situation earlier, right? As soon as you go out, you’d be treated like that by the others as well,” Meng Xu threatened.

He closed the door and hurriedly locked it from the outside.

Meng Xu hurried off to find the elder and ask him to make a furnace for him. He wanted to make the beauty he’d brought back into his own furnace.

However, Meng Xu was told by the elder that the woman’s yin origin must first be given to the sect leader or an elder. Only then would the furnace be given to him.

Meng Xu cursed inwardly. Everyone knew that a woman’s yin origin was very precious, as it could only be taken once.

However, Meng Xu had no choice but to agree to it. After all, only a cultivation furnace would behave obediently without any objections whatsoever.

The girl was originally brought here by him through deceit. Moreover, she didn’t cause any trouble even when she found out the truth about how the Yinyang Sect worked.

All the powerful people in the sect had several cultivation furnaces. Those cultivation furnaces they had were also women with spiritual roots, and thus the effect was that their cultivation kept improving rapidly.

Chp 2386: Will Yi Rou End up Like That Too?

The effect of yin-yang complementation was very powerful. The stronger the furnace, the stronger the power she’d provide.

Ordinary disciples would only get some ordinary women. Not only did they have poor cultivation results, but they also didn’t live long.

On top of their health being eroded by drugs, their bodies also simply could not endure the ravaging from the cultivators.

Yi Liang was still locked in the room. He was sweating all over in a panic, and he asked, “Will Yi Rou end up like that too?”

He tried hard to calm himself down. However, since this matter was related to his sister, his heart was pounding uneasily.

What should he do if he found out that his younger sister was also being treated like a plaything and was played with by men wantonly?

Just the thought of it nearly made Yi Liang’s head explode.

Ning Shu sneezed. The place was filled with nonstop waves of a sweet and ambiguous smell.

This place was simply an ultimate spring dream.

There were sex scenes everywhere.

Were they able to obtain power just like this?

Ning Shu saw Yi Liang’s face turning into alternating shades of white and red, and comforted him by saying, “She should be fine.”

The women she saw were all about fifteen or sixteen years old.

It’d harm the women too much if they were too young. They wouldn’t be able to live for long that way.

Meng Xu soon came back and opened the door. He saw that Yi Liang was obediently sitting there and immediately smiled.

"Have you found my sister?" Yi Liang asked.

As if he even went to find her. He didn’t even know her name. This woman was really stupid, Meng Xu thought.

“There are so many people in the Yinyang Sect. It’s not easy to find someone here. Wait for a bit longer,” he perfunctorily replied.

Meng Xu stared at Yi Liang with hot eyes. However, he couldn't take away Yi Liang's yin origin, because the yin origin of all cultivation furnaces was reserved for the people above.

It was really heart-wrenching.

Yi Liang was disgusted by Meng Xu's eyes. It was horrifying for him, as a boy, to be looked at by another man with such lecherous eyes.

Fortunately, the other party just looked at him with his eyes and didn’t take any other action. Otherwise, Yi Liang would probably flip out.

Meng Xu looked at the beauty and stared so much that his entire body turned hot. However, he couldn’t do anything else, so he just locked Yi Liang back inside and went out to find a furnace to cultivate with.

Yi Liang let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his head.

For a moment, Ning Shu wanted Yi Liang to just offer his body. These people were taking yin to supplement their yang energy. What would the consequences be if they had sex with men?

Would they explode and die?

But Ning Shu immediately repented. How could she think of pushing Yi Liang into the fire pit? Amitabha…

However, this train of thought couldn’t be stopped.

Of course, it was all just Ning Shu’s dark curiosity.

“I’ll go out and take a look. I’m not too conspicuous, so I can hide anywhere,” Ning Shu said. Yi Liang was too conspicuous.

Especially so in women’s clothes. Perhaps some disciple would mistake him as a furnace and end up just pushing him down.

“It’s too much for me to wait here,” Yi Liang said. The longer he stayed here, the more unsettled his heart became.

The women here were more miserable than he could ever imagine.

They were simply tools, without their own thoughts and emotions.

How did they make these women become like that?

If Yi Rou was indeed here, what terrible things would she have encountered?

“Why don’t you just pretend to be a disciple of the Yinyang Sect? Then you can look around wherever you want,” the little fox suggested.

“When that guy comes back, we can knock him unconscious, tie him up, and stuff him under the bed after we take off his clothes.”

Chp 2387: This Is a Good Idea. It’s Perfect!

"Yi Liang can pretend to be a disciple of the Yinyang Sect after he puts on that guy’s clothes. This is a good idea. It’s perfect!" the little fox triumphantly said.

Ning Shu lightly replied, “That disciple is half a head taller than Yi Liang. His body is also bigger than Yi Liang’s. What would he look like in that disciple’s uniform?”

“It doesn’t matter. I can cast illusions to make Yi Liang feel that his clothes are very fitting?” the little fox said seriously.

Ning Shu: …

Wasn’t that just self-deception?

"I'll go out first and find a disciple with a similar physique to Yi Liang, then I'll find a way to get the clothes," Ning Shu said.

Yi Liang said to Ning Shu, "Be careful."

It was almost evening by the time Meng Xu brought some food for Yi Liang.

As soon as Meng Xu opened the door, Ning Shu rushed out the door.

"This..." Meng Xu put down the meal and was about to chase after Ning Shu.

Yi Liang held Meng Xu back. "She's just a little bored, let her go out and run."

"She might be beaten to death and cooked." Meng Xu frowned, but the little beast was already out of sight, and Meng Xu couldn’t be bothered to care. If it was really beaten to death, it deserved it.

Meng Xu's heart was actually a little anxious. When would it be his turn to have a cultivation furnace made?

It was very difficult to make a furnace. If they didn’t pay careful attention, the woman would die.

Who knew how many people were waiting ahead of him in line?

It’d be a while before it was his turn.

Meng Xu couldn’t care less about that beast, who looked like a dog but not really, and told Yi Liang gently, “You should eat something.”

“Thank you.” Well, Yi Liang had no choice but to wait here, anyway.

Meng Xu casually asked Yi Liang, “What kind of spiritual roots do you have?”

Although Meng Xu’s expression was very casual, he was actually very concerned about this.

If she indeed had a spiritual root, then Meng Xue really struck gold. Everyone in the sect was working hard to have a cultivation furnace with spiritual roots by looking for spiritual roots among the ordinary people.

Some took the risk and straight up kidnapped some female disciples from other sects.

Those arrogant female disciples of the sect just ended up becoming cultivation furnaces that

anyone could ride when they arrived in the Yinyang Sect.

The Yinyang Sect was said to be the sect that all cultivating women abhorred.

In addition to looking for women with spiritual roots, they also looked for women who were uniquely suitable to become cultivation furnaces, such as women born at special times.

Yi Liang, as he heard Meng Xu asking about his spiritual roots, observed that Meng Xu seemed to be filled with anticipation. He thought for a moment and said, “I have five spiritual roots.”

Meng Xu was disappointed for a bit. As it turned out, the girl had mixed spiritual roots, but something was still better than nothing.

Although it was the five spiritual roots, which meant that the speed of cultivation would be slow, the physique would still be better and more durable than an ordinary woman's physique.

Meng Xu’s attitude towards Yi Liang instantly became much better. He even personally went to get more food for Yi Liang.

Yi Liang was worried about Ning Shu, but he still had to deal with Meng Xu patiently.

On the other side, Ning Shu, who had left the room, had started walking around. Every time she passed a room, Ning Shu would hear strange noises.

There were also some who had no scruples whatsoever and just directly did it in public. Everywhere she looked there was someone pa-pa-pa-ing. It was simply unsightly.

However, these disciples didn’t have any sense of shame at all. They all triumphantly smiled and compared the faces and figures of the cultivation furnaces under them with each other.

What kind of place was this? This place was completely deranged.

It was devoid of any normal morals.

These women felt neither joy nor pain, and they had neither thoughts nor feelings of their own.

They were essentially walking corpses in all but name.

It was abominable.

Ning Shu felt that her eyes and ears were being scarred. Her eyes felt like they were turning blind and her ears deaf.

Ning Shu strolled around the Yinyang Sect with her tail tucked between her legs. She always stuck near walls and hid whenever there were people.

Ning Shu’s figure wasn’t conspicuous, though. Even if someone saw her, they wouldn’t care about a dirty beast roaming about.

Chp 2388: How Could Such a Sect Continue to Exist for So Long?

The Yinyang Sect was very large. Its courtyards had a lot of pavilions, and there were several floors in every building. The roads were also winding and full of decoration. Ning Shu almost felt dizzy just by wandering around.

But Ning Shu still memorized the route in her mind. Otherwise, it’d all be a great joke if she couldn’t find her way back.

Ning Shu found that the life of the Yinyang Sect’s disciples constituted basically of, aside from banging, just banging, and even more banging.

Who knew if it was really just to improve their strength, or if they were nymphomaniacs?

Ning Shu’s judgment that the cultivation method of the Yinyang Sect was incomparably strange only kept getting strengthened.

It was filled with worldly pleasure, yet at the same time, could improve their cultivation.

And they also had a method of making perfect cultivation furnaces.

How could such a sect continue to exist for so long?

Was there no one to be the chivalrous person to do Heaven’s work?

Weren’t these women innocent victims who deserved to be saved?

Ning Shu wandered around, paying special attention to girls who looked around ten years of age.

However, Ning Shu didn’t see Yi Rou.

As she continued walking, she suddenly smelled a strong medicinal smell.

Ning Shu followed the smell of the medicine to a place where the words 'Hall of Beauties' were written on the plaque in the courtyard.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes. This couldn’t be the cultivation furnace workshop, right?

The door to the yard was closed, Ning Shu found a spot, jumped up, and jumped over the wall.

After she entered the courtyard, the strong medicinal smell became even stronger.

Ning Shu lightly walked near the windowsill and heard noisy voices inside. Some women were crying and cursing.

Ning Shu stood upright and looked through the gap in the window to see what was inside.

There were several women locked inside, all stripped of their clothes.

Those women looked pale. They were all soaked in a tub of potion.

Some of them were already in a coma. Meanwhile, the others, who were still awake, were trying to break free from the ropes that bound them.

There were disciples who came and went to add all kinds of strange things to the tub.

For instance, they added various kinds of powders.

Under the heat and the potion, the women’s skin began to turn pink.

Ning Shu sniffed, wanting to smell the ingredients in the medicine.

However, the ingredients were too complex, and the medicine smelled too strong. She couldn’t tell what was in there from the smell.

Ning Shu decided instead to walk around the house. There were many rooms in the courtyard.

There were also rooms with normal women in them. They had apparently just been caught.

Some of the women’s faces were filled with confusion and fear, while others’ were filled with anger.

Ning Shu walked around again and saw that in the hall, there were disciples picking out the cultivation furnaces that had already been made.

These women's eyes were dull, and when a disciple chose a woman, the woman left with the disciple without any resistance.

After a while, all the cultivation furnaces in the halls were selected.

Ning Shu was really appalled. These people chose women like they were picking slabs of meat on the chopping board.

They didn’t treat these women as living beings at all. They just took them for granted or even treated them with disdain.

But where was Yi Liang’s sister?

Ning Shu didn’t plan to go back for the time being. Instead, she explored every place in the Yinyang Sect to find out where Yi Rou was.

There was a sweet and ambiguous smell in the air, which made Ning Shu very annoyed.

What the hell was this place? She really wanted to set it on fire.

These men really made Ning Shu feel extremely disgusted.

Ning Shu was still walking around when she encountered a man. He was also wearing peach-pink clothes, but unlike the other disciples, he looked quite elegant and handsome.

Chp 2389: Was There Something Hidden in This Yard?

The man in peach pink clothes was leaving a yard. Ning Shu quickly hid and watched him leave.

Ning Shu looked at the back of the man, who had a graceful appearance. His aura was indifferent, completely unlike every other disciple of the Yinyang Sect that Ning Shu encountered before.

After the man left, Ning Shu came out of the shadows. She initially just wanted to take a look inside the yard.

However, another man appeared, opened the gate of the yard, and entered.

It felt a little inexplicable to her. Was there something hidden in this yard?

Why did another handsome man go in?

Ning Shu crossed the wall and carefully entered the yard. The yard was full of flowers and there was a swing. This swing was made of ropes woven from cloth strips of various colors.

This was probably a young girl’s yard.

Ning Shu was clinging to the wall. She didn’t dare to let out a sound as she listened to the movement in the room.

From inside, came the voices of a man and a woman.

The woman’s voice was clear and moving. She was calling the man her senior brother.

Ning Shu was stuck in the corner and didn't dare to look into the room.

She only silently listened to the voices of the people in the room.

The man clearly doted on the woman a lot. He gave the woman some gifts, and the woman thanked him happily.

Ning Shu was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw a normal woman in the Yinyang Sect that wasn’t turned into a mindless cultivation furnace.

The man talked with the girl inside the room for a while, then exhorted that she shouldn’t go outside and should stay inside this courtyard. No matter what, he said, she shouldn’t go outside because the people outside would hurt her.

The girl readily agreed, asking the man to visit her often and bring fun things.

Ning Shu frowned. This was very obviously a house arrest, yet the girl seemed to not realize it.

After the man left, Ning Shu lay down by the window.

What she saw was a very luxuriously decorated room with bead curtain jade and jade screen flowers. It was a house filled with jewels and luxury, like a palace!

A maid stood in the room, guarding a girl.

The girl was wearing a brocade dress with simple but delicate ornaments on her head. She was sitting on a chair, holding a windmill in her hand and playing with it. The windmill whirred.

Her expression was pure, and her brows made her look very innocent.

The most important thing was that she looked young and somewhat similar to Yi Liang.

Ning Shu's heart jumped abruptly. Could she be Yi Rou?

Yi Rou was really in the Yinyang Sect! But it looked like she wasn't made into a cultivation furnace. Instead, she seemed to be treated extremely well.

Ning Shu wanted to jump into the house, but she suddenly heard the sound of the door of the yard opening.

A man's voice came from the room. It was probably another person because the voice was different from the previous man's voice.

The man also called the girl his junior sister and brought her some toys.

Ning Shu: …

What was going on!???

Was Yinyang Sect seriously teaching Yi Rou cultivation? However, looking at Yi Rou’s current situation, she was obviously a canary trapped in a gilded cage.

The smile and teasing were obvious in the man’s tone as he spoke to Yi Rou for a while until he left.

Ning Shu didn’t try to rush into the room this time. Instead, she waited to see if anyone else was coming.

Who knew why Yi Rou wasn’t made into a cultivation furnace? Regardless, this was obviously the best situation they could hope for.

After she waited for a while, it seemed like nobody else was coming. Ning Shu waited until the maid who was guarding the house left, then jumped into the house.

The girl was startled. However, when she saw the dirty Ning Shu, she calmed down. Instead, she innocently asked, “How did you get so dirty?

“Let me wash you!” the girl stretched out her hand to hug Ning Shu.

Ning Shu jumped away and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Ah! You can speak?” The girl was surprised and the volume of her voice jolted up. The maid asked from outside the house, “Holy Maiden, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. I want to sleep for a while. Don’t come in,” the girl said to the maid outside of the house.

Chp 2390: Holy Maiden

Holy Maiden!!??

The girl turned her head, looked at Ning Shu, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"What's your name?" Ning Shu asked again.

"Why don’t you tell me what's your name first?" the girl mischievously replied.

"Xiao Hei, how about you?"

"My senior brothers call me Xiao Rou."

"What's your surname?"

"I don't have a surname."

Xiao Rou… Yi Rou?

Ning Shu looked at Xiao Rou, trying to find any special marks and marks on her body.

There was a small red mole on the corner of Xiao Rou's eye.

Ning Shu took note of this feature.

“Why haven’t I seen you before?” Ning Shu asked. “I’ve been here at Yinyang Sect for a while.”

Xiao Rou was elated by Ning Shu’s arrival. “My master and senior brothers told me to stay in the room and cultivate.”

In addition to her master and brothers, there was only a maid who served her in close proximity.

This was the first time that Xiao Rou had seen an outsider. Moreover, it was an animal. An animal that could talk, at that.

So she was clearly a little excited.

"Brothers? How many brothers do you have?" Ning Shu felt a strange feeling inwardly.

"Five, I'm Master's youngest disciple," Xiao Rou replied truthfully.

Ning Shu's strange feeling became stronger. She asked again, "Why don’t they let you go out?"

"Master said that the outside world is too dangerous. I can’t go out until I'm strong enough,” Xiao Rou whispered, afraid that the maid outside would hear it.

"What kind of spiritual roots do you have?"

"Me? I have heavenly spiritual roots."

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes. Heavenly spiritual roots were the kind of spiritual root that was above all five of the elemental spiritual roots. It was even more special than the thunder spiritual roots.

No wonder the Yinyang Sect was reluctant to turn her into a furnace. To make a furnace out of a person with such spiritual roots would be like turning a diamond into a pebble.

If she didn’t end up dying, she’d be a shining powerhouse in the future.

Ning Shu asked again, “Do you have any other family members?”

“Why do you have so many questions? It’s my turn to ask you questions now. What are you?”

“I am a fox.”

“How did you get here?

"How come you can talk?

"How did you get so dirty? Do you want me to wash the dirt clean for you?

"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Xiao Rou picked up the dessert on the table and stretched her hand out to Ning Shu. "Here."

Ning Shu glanced at her and ate the dessert in her hand. Xiao Rou suddenly laughed. Her eyes were curved, and she looked very pure.

"Do you want to go out?" Ning Shu asked Xiao Rou.

Xiao Rou shook her head. "I don't want to go out. My master and senior brothers told me that I can only go out after I become strong."
