I Will Exorcise Demons, Don't Blink

"If I go down the mountain and resolve that demon, does that mean I'm not wrong?"

Upon hearing Lu Shui's words, the Third Elder did not speak immediately, but instead looked at Lu Shui.

Lu Shui stood there, neither servile nor overbearing.

"You have the ability to exorcise demons?" The Third Elder asked after a moment.

Lu Shui smiled slightly. He felt he did have the ability, but he did not say much, only whispering:

"Three days apart, one must look at each other with new eyes."

"Hahaha," the Third Elder suddenly burst into loud laughter, then said in a low voice: "Three days apart? Three days ago a clown, three days later a jester?

Do you know that the Lu Family's reputation has been completely ruined by you alone?"

It was already ruined anyway, so why care so much.

Naturally, Lu Shui would not say such things to the Third Elder. He just stood there, saying nothing.

Saying anything was meaningless; waiting for the answer was enough.

The Third Elder looked at Lu Shui and said:

"Do you think it's fine just by not speaking?

Lu Shui, what kind of person do you think you are?

Your talent is average, your cultivation is not diligent, your conduct is flamboyant, and you lack self-awareness.

If you weren't of the Lu Family, you might count as a somewhat useful rogue cultivator, but being in the Lu Family, you face the heaven-gifted geniuses of all the major powers. To everyone, someone like you is just a waste.

Your only use to the Lu Family is to have children."

Facing the Third Elder's mockery, Lu Shui just listened. In his previous life, he had heard such words too often; he felt nothing anymore.

It was just being a tool person, after all.

Then, Lu Shui looked up at the Third Elder and said:

"Then, Third Elder, may I go down the mountain to exorcise the demon?"

The Third Elder frowned as he looked at Lu Shui. This was not Lu Shui's normal reaction.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Shui would have jumped up the moment he heard about having children, but today he had no reaction at all?

Had he resigned himself to his fate?

"If the exorcism fails, you will suffer ten times the punishment." The Third Elder looked at Lu Shui and said.

The Third Elder wanted to use the punishment to make Lu Shui back down, but to his surprise, Lu Shui did not retreat in the slightest:

"I agree, but if I succeed in the exorcism, then the Third Elder must promise me to update the modern equipment."

To Lu Shui, other things were not very important; keeping up with the times was more important.

The Third Elder squinted at Lu Shui. This was the only male descendant of his Lu Family, who only knew about those useless things; he was simply a disgrace to the Lu Family.

Utterly disappointing.

The Third Elder sighed inwardly, then said:

"Fine, but you only have one day."

In the Third Elder's view, Lu Shui was just asking for humiliation.

Then the Third Elder continued:

"Zhen Wu, Zhen Ling, you follow him. Don't let him hire outside help."

The two people by the Third Elder's side nodded in agreement.

Since the Third Elder had already agreed, there was no need for Lu Shui to stay, so he immediately said:

"Then I won't disturb the Third Elder any further."

Afterward, Lu Shui turned and left the main hall.

As soon as Lu Shui went out, Lu Gu came in:

"Third Elder, I just received some news."

The Third Elder said:

"What is it?"

Lu Gu handed a note to the Third Elder. After the Third Elder looked it over, his brows furrowed, and he said:

"The Mu Family? They deliberately concealed it?"

Lu Gu did not answer; he did not know either.

Finally, the Third Elder said:

"Wait for your kid to come back."

Some things were better suited for him to handle.

Lu Shui walked out of the main hall. Although he saw his father walk in, he did not care.

No matter how big the family matters were, it was not his turn to handle them now. After all, in the eyes of these people, he was just a young master, a useless young master.

Occasionally, he would even brag; the exorcism was something he had bragged about himself, and then he had almost lost his life.

The so-called demon was actually just an ordinary spirit beast with strength not even reaching the second tier, while his own cultivation was also very ordinary, relying on spirit pills and medicines to reach the second tier.

But he was weak as scum in other aspects.

The division of strength in the cultivation world was simple, defined by tiers. The normal realms were from the first to the sixth tier.

The first tier is Body Tempering, focusing on the body and strength; the body is the foundation of everything.

The second tier is Spirit Awakening. After Spirit Awakening, one can simply mobilize the spiritual energy in the body and begin to cast simple spells.

The third tier is Third Tier Comprehension. After comprehension, one understands the essence, spirit, and energy, having a clear understanding of all three. The use of spiritual energy becomes handy, and one can learn various spells.

Casting spells also undergoes a qualitative change from the Spirit Awakening stage. Taking the Fireball Spell as an example, at the second tier, one needs a process of inducing spiritual energy to gather power, but at the third tier, one can cast it instantly.

After comprehension, spiritual energy is already spread throughout the body and can be mobilized at will.

The fourth tier is Bright God. The body is bright and the spirit is gathered; the essence, spirit, and energy reach their peak and begin to converge into one.

After Bright God, power is tempered due to the convergence of essence, spirit, and energy, which directly affects the body's strength. As power becomes stronger, control changes qualitatively, and one can control all things.

The obvious manifestation is the ability to use Sword Flight.

Each tier is divided into seven levels, numerically 1.1 to 1.7. Currently, Lu Shui's cultivation was 2.1. The second tier's ability to cast spells is not on the same level as the first tier.

That was why he was injured by that demon; it could be said that he had lost all his remaining face.

It was precisely because of this that he was seen as a tool for the Lu Family to have children.

Regrettably, in his previous life, he did not have a single child.

He disappointed those big shots once again.

Lu Shui walked down the stairs, followed by a man and a woman, who were Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling, but Lu Shui had no impression of them.

So he did not want to pay attention to them.

At the bottom of the stairs, Qi Xi was still waiting. When Lu Shui came down, Qi Xi lowered her head:

"Young master."

Lu Shui did not look at her and walked straight forward, saying casually:

"Go busy yourself."

Qi Xi immediately responded:

"Yes."

Afterward, Lu Shui headed straight for the foot of the mountain. There was a small town not far from the foot of the mountain. It was said that they had lived here for generations. The Lu Family did not directly control them; how they developed was their own freedom.

But no one in the town would not give the Lu Family face.

And that demon was discovered outside the small town. Lu Shui had just happened to pass by and volunteered to exorcise the demon.

The result was a tragedy.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Lu Shui had recalled almost everything. He looked at Zhen Wu beside him and said:

"Where is that demon?"

Zhen Wu lowered his head and apologized:

"The Third Elder did not let us help the young master, so I hope the young master understands."

Lu Shui said nothing, but reached out his hand and said:

"Help me pick up a tree branch."

Zhen Wu did not refuse this. He quickly cut a small section of a tree branch in the woods and respectfully handed it to Lu Shui.

Taking the branch, Lu Shui tossed it casually. Soon, the branch fell, pointing to the front left.

Without hesitation, Lu Shui walked directly to the front left, saying by the way:

"Pick up the branch and follow."

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling looked at each other; they were somewhat helpless and disdainful.

Could he find it just by tossing a branch?

He was probably just putting on a show to attract attention.

If he could find the demon like this, they could eat the branch.

However, they did not say anything and could only pick up the branch and follow.

After that, Lu Shui tossed the branch three times. After the third time, Lu Shui said:

"Found it."

Hearing what Lu Shui said, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were both stunned, and then they looked over. At this moment, they indeed saw a demon with a strange appearance.

Its limbs exposed sharp claws, its body had many tumors, and only its eyes remained exposed on its head.

However, this was not what surprised them; what truly surprised them was that Lu Shui had actually found this demon.

Was it a coincidence or strength?

No, it must be that he already knew the location beforehand and then deliberately tossed the branch.

Yes, it must be like that; otherwise, they could not believe that a person could find a demon just by tossing a branch.

Not to mention others, at least the young master of the Lu Family they knew did not have this ability.

But what surprised them even more were Lu Shui's words and his actions.

At this moment, Lu Shui drew the peculiar sword from Zhen Wu's body and said:

"I am going to exorcise the demon. You watch clearly; it might be a bit fast."
