Man Gu: Does the Heavenly Court Cult Still Recruit?

"So, Brother Meng, you're suffering from the backlash of karma, and women are involuntarily disgusted with you, which is why you came to the Desolate State seeking a solution?" Man Gu suddenly understood after listening to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's explanation.

As expected of Brother Meng, your level of expertise is truly high-level. How could an ordinary Golden Core cultivator possibly encounter karmic backlash?

After the whole roasted lamb was shared, the three brothers reminisced a little distance away from the disciples of the Corpse Driving Sect.

"And you, how did you get to the Corpse Driving Sect? Did you come by yourself?"

"I went back to my clan for my coming-of-age ceremony, and after the ceremony, I asked to come to the Corpse Driving Sect to learn the art of corpse driving so I could use it for barbecuing. The clan leader sent me here and also to visit Sect Master Lu. However, Sect Master was in seclusion, so the clan leader didn't disturb him and left me at the Corpse Driving Sect before going back himself."

Lu Baqian, the sect Sect Master the Corpse Driving Sect, Integrated Body Late Stage.

"I was originally planning to fight Huang Ming from the Corpse Driving Sect, but it seems he went out on a mission and hasn't returned yet."

"I heard that the barbarian coming-of-age ceremony is very dangerous, requiring battles with Golden Core stage Demon Beast." As the current senior disciple, Lu Yang was very concerned about the safety of his junior brother, the barbarian.

Man Gu revealed a simple and honest smile, scratching the back of his head as he said, "It's not particularly dangerous, after all, the three of us who were in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage infiltrated the Demonic Sect, and those who were in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage went to the dense forest to chase and fight Golden Core stage Demon Beast."

Indeed, compared to these two things, it would be just as safe for Man Gu, with his Golden Core cultivation, to kill Golden Core stage Demon Beast as it would be to return to the Ask Dao Sect.

At this moment, Zhao Po walked over and said, "My master is usually cultivating, but he happens to have some free time now."

"Then let's go," Meng Jingzhou said with a smile, feeling that his luck was gradually turning in his favor, but he immediately became wary and asked, "Is your master male or female?"

"Male."

"Very good."

Man Gu no longer needed to learn the corpse-driving technique. He didn't have high requirements for the corpse-driving technique he could master; as long as he could barbecue, that would be enough. So he followed Meng Jingzhou to find the Grand Elder.

Man Gu chuckled and said, "Seeing you guys reminds me of something funny. A barbecue restaurant opened in Hanshui City called 'Come On Again Barbecue Restaurant,' which has the same name as ours. But it's a chain, and they say it's based on a High Antiquity secret recipe."

"I was thinking of trying it, but I haven't had the time," Man Gu said regretfully, shaking his head.

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

"Actually, the shop you saw has some connection with us," Lu Yang transmitted his voice. He couldn't say this in front of Zhao Po, lest Zhao Po misunderstand and think he was a member of the Demonic Sect.

"I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, and you went home. During that time, Lao Meng and I made contact with the Nine Nether Sect..."

After hearing this, Man Gu was dumbfounded and couldn't react for a long time.

While he was away at home, Brother Lu and Brother Meng established the Heavenly Court Sect and recruited the Eldest Sister, the Sect Master, the Elders, and Tao Yaoye to join them, and even opened a chain of barbecue restaurants in the Nine Netherworld Sect.

He hasn't been home for very long, less than two months.

You have to admit, Brother Lu and Brother Meng are both very clever.

"Don't worry, since you're investing with your technical expertise, you'll get 10% of the barbecue restaurant's profits."

After all, the barbecue restaurant uses a family recipe passed down through generations.

Man Gu didn't care about profits. After all, he was the only Ancient Barbarian Tribe, and the entire barbarian tribe treated him like a gold nugget. He didn't lack Spirit Stone; he just didn't have any use for them.

"Is the Heavenly Court Sect still recruiting?" Man Gu proactively approached the two role models.

"Recruit, of course we'll recruit! Our Heavenly Court Sect needs a genius like you!" Lu Yang laughed. Man Gu didn't bring it up, he would still bring it up.

The top five students in Lu Yang's class all joined the Heavenly Court Cult.

As the group arrived at the deepest part of the Corpse-Driving Sect, the atmosphere grew increasingly cold and gloomy.

An old man sat deep within the luxurious yet empty hall, his eyes cold and devoid of emotion.

"Master, these two are the visitors from the Ask Dao Sect I told you about, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. You should have already met Fellow Man Gu."

"We have come to pay our respects to the Grand Elder!" Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou bowed, showing the respect due to juniors.

"Alright, there's no need for such formalities between us. The disciple of the old man Bu Yu, the young man from the Meng family, we have a history together." The old man chuckled, his aged pupils regaining their warmth.

"My surname is Gai, you can just call me Elder Gai."

"This is a letter from the Fourth Elder to you." Lu Yang handed over the letter of introduction that the Fourth Elder had written to the Corpse Driving Sect.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Xie Shanren's letter. His handwriting is exquisite and worth a fortune. This letter alone is worthy of being auctioned off... Hmm, have you opened this letter?" Elder Gai was displeased, feeling that this junior was quite impolite. How could letters between elders be opened so casually?

"It wasn't us who opened it, it was Valley Master Frost who opened it," Lu Yang explained helplessly.

"A female demon?" Elder Gai's hand trembled when he heard the name of Valley Master Shuang. He quickly scanned the letter repeatedly with his Divine Sense, fearing that Shuang Feiyan had left Curse on it to harm him.

There is precedent for this.

"Thank goodness, the letter is safe... Tell me what happened."

"The Fourth Elder sent the two of us to the Desolate State to find a way to break the Curse. He said we should first come to your sect to inquire about a solution. This is our first time in the Desolate State, and we are unfamiliar with the place. We've heard that the Curse method of the Seven Emotions Valley is quite remarkable, so we decided to go there first..."

Elder Gai's eye kept twitching. "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! As the disciple of the Silent Old Man, you took Xie Shanren's letter of introduction to go to Shuang Feiyan. Are you afraid that you are still alive?"

In particular, at the end of the letter of introduction, Xie Shanren referred to Shuang Feiyan as a "female demon," a term used in private that no one dared to use to her face.

The fact that this kid is standing unharmed in front of me shows he's incredibly lucky.

"Old Lu can handle the Curse, but you'll have to wait. He's currently in seclusion, breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Once he succeeds, your Curse won't be a problem anymore."

"Breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?!" Everyone was shocked.

Sect Master Lu was about the same age as the Silent Daoist and the elders of the Ask Dao Sect, or rather, the elders and Sect Master of various forces were of similar seniority. They were all secretly competing to see who could break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage first. Unexpectedly, Sect Master Lu broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage first.

Lu Yang was the first to react. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Should I inform our elders about this so we can celebrate Sect Master Lu's achievements together?"

The Ask Dao Sect and the Corpse Driving Sect are on good terms, and it is only natural that Sect Master's breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence stage is a joyous occasion. The Ask Dao Sect should send someone to congratulate him.

His and Meng Jingzhou's status was not high enough to represent the Ask Dao Sect congratulations.

Elder Gai waved his hand. "No need for that. Before he went into seclusion, Old Lu specifically instructed me not to tell anyone about his breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. He wanted to give everyone a surprise. I'm telling you this, but you shouldn't tell anyone else."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
