How Can You Be So Selfish?

Tu Kui's probing just now had been a casual move, yet the power Zhao Yun unleashed made a flicker of shock flash through Bai Yu's eyes.

That earlier blow could absolutely have instantly killed an ordinary Golden Core-level expert. Even a fifth-stage Golden Core cultivator might have been severely wounded in a single strike if hit.

Yet Zhao Yun had neutralized it with ease!

With such power, it was no wonder that fusing something as precious as a dragon horn into her body had been worth it.

Moreover, Zhao Yun had only just become a yin-yang corpse. She was also held back by his own cultivation, and the power within her body had yet to be fully developed.

Once his cultivation rose and the power within Zhao Yun awakened, she might perhaps become a true Drought Demon!

At that thought, Bai Yu's eyes burned with excitement. This was a true trump card. With such a lethal weapon protecting him, he would be able to act far more freely in the future.

"Tu Kui?"

"You certainly have plenty of free time, wandering around my Gu Refining Peak in the middle of the night."

Seeing Tu Kui's appearance, Mo Wudao curled his lip.

To him, this old man was nothing but trouble. Especially in a situation like this, he could guess with his ass that the other man had set his sights on a disciple of Gu Refining Peak.

"Hehe, Old Mo, stop with the pleasantries. I wasn't the only one who saw that 'bright moon rising over the sea' phenomenon."

"It's only because the one who caused it was a yin-yang corpse. If it had been a cultivator himself, I wouldn't be the only one here by now."

Tu Kui chuckled, stepped forward, and arrived before the group. He swept his gaze over everyone before looking at Bai Yu.

"Kid, we've met before. This method of yours came from the Profound Yin Drought Demon Corpse Refining Art, didn't it?"

"Not bad. Though it's merely a Qi Refining-tier corpse-refining art, you've wielded it to such a degree. You truly haven't let the art down."

"However, when you selected your cultivation method back then, I forgot to tell you this: corpse refinement may be the main path, but as a cultivator, you must also pair it with the secret techniques and spells of Blood Corpse Peak."

"A cultivator needs a certain degree of combat power as well. You can't rely on blood corpses for everything."

"I happen to have a spell that complements yin-yang corpses. Come, follow me. I'll teach you properly."

Tu Kui walked up with a smile and patted Bai Yu's shoulder, speaking like an elder.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took hold of Bai Yu's hand, ready to lead him away.

Seeing Tu Kui's actions, Bai Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was he really this enthusiastic?

"Tu Kui, you think I'm dead or something?"

"You're such a grown man, and you've got no shame at all!"

"Can't you see this is a disciple of my Gu Refining Peak? You're not even bothering to hide it when you poach people now?"

Mo Wudao was first stunned by Tu Kui's behavior, then directly stepped in front of him, his expression filled with disbelief.

Hearing Mo Wudao's words, Tu Kui said with a solemn expression, "Old Mo, I don't take you for someone who can't see the bigger picture. Don't tell me you didn't see the foundation of that yin-yang corpse. This kid was born to refine corpses. If he's properly nurtured, his future will be boundless."

"Other than Blood Corpse Peak, who else can nurture such talent?"

"Besides, what Gu Refining Peak disciple? We're all members of the Heavenly Demon Sect. What's yours and what's mine?"

"How can you be so selfish?"

Tu Kui's words made Mo Wudao's expression freeze. No, how could words like that come out of your mouth?

"Bullshit! Open your damned eyes and look—is that thing a gu or a corpse!"

"I see it. It was created through the secret arts of my Blood Corpse Peak."

"You can't see such a huge Wandering Zombie Gu?"

"I see it. It's merely icing on the cake."

"And you just cursed me?"

"You shameless bastard, you came to my place to steal people. So what if I cursed you?"

"The fuck?"

"My seniority is right here. Do you have any manners?"

"I'm also the master of a peak."

"Deputy master."

"Fuck your mother!"

Mo Wudao and Tu Kui glared at each other, arguing heatedly, as though they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

"Put that yin-yang corpse away."

"There are so many people here, yet those two old fools aren't even ashamed of themselves."

Qin Qingyao shook her head helplessly and reminded Bai Yu.

At her words, Bai Yu nodded and directly stored Zhao Yun in his grotto-heaven.

"Stop embarrassing yourselves. Let him choose for himself!"

Seeing the two men's behavior, Qin Qingyao's face turned cold as she shouted.

At her words, Mo Wudao and Tu Kui both shuddered, as though they possessed an instinctive fear of Qin Qingyao. They snorted coldly in unison and finally let the matter drop.

"Bai Yu, you've seen it too. Elder Tu of Blood Corpse Peak has taken a liking to your talent and intends to bring you over there for cultivation."

"The Wandering Zombie Gu you refined has also given us quite a surprise. Gu Refining Peak holds the same attitude."

"Our Heavenly Demon Sect fully respects our disciples' wishes and grants them the greatest freedom. The opportunity is now before you. How do you choose?"

Qin Qingyao looked at Bai Yu and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Bai Yu looked at everyone. He really wanted to ask, Can't I have them all?

But such an impractical thought could only remain a thought...

After careful consideration, Bai Yu felt that staying at Gu Refining Peak suited him better. He was familiar with this place, and Gu were the essence of heaven and earth, possessing limitless possibilities by nature.

If he had to choose, he was still willing to use Gu as his primary means. As for corpse refining, he could simply work hard to keep both in balance. After all, they were both killing arts of the demonic path.

"Elder Tu, I am deeply grateful for your favor. However, this junior is a disciple of Gu Refining Peak and has remained here since entering the sect. After thinking it over, I believe I should stay at Gu Refining Peak."

Bai Yu spoke respectfully.

As soon as he said this, Mo Wudao nodded in satisfaction. This was the correct choice.

Corpse refining?

What future could corpse refining possibly have? Back then, Qin Qingyao had been a body-refining genius, yet hadn't she ultimately chosen the path of Gu?

Who in the entire Heavenly Demon Sect didn't know that their Gu refiners had the brightest future?

Tu Kui was initially stunned when he heard this. He had not expected Bai Yu to make such a choice, but unwilling to see Bai Yu's talent go to waste, he still wanted to persuade him.

"Bai Yu, the Heavenly Demon Sect is one whole. Though it is divided into various peaks, no matter where you are, everyone is a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. You need not feel any pressure."

"The path of corpse refining can likewise lead to the Great Dao. You must think certain matters through carefully..."

"That's enough. He has already made his choice, so it should be respected. Could it be that Bai Yu can't learn corpse refining while remaining at Gu Refining Peak?"

Qin Qingyao looked at Tu Kui and spoke slowly.

"Senior Sister, aren't you taking sides here?"

Tu Kui felt rather helpless at those words. He truly cherished talent.

Ignoring Tu Kui, Qin Qingyao looked at Bai Yu and spoke slowly.

"To be able to refine such a Yin-Yang corpse proves that you have talent. At the same time, your use of the Wandering Zombie Gu has also strengthened the connection between Gu Refining Peak and Blood Corpse Peak."

"This is merit and deserves a reward."

"Junior Brother, according to Gu Refining Peak's rules, give him 5,000 contribution points."

Qin Qingyao spoke slowly.

"You possess Yin-Yang spiritual roots. These spiritual roots are inherently contradictory, but that does not mean there is no possibility of progress."

"This is the Yin-Yang Tranquility Lotus. It can purify the yin and yang energies, and it should aid your cultivation."

"Cultivate diligently. Strive to break through to the Golden Core realm and advance into the inner sect as soon as possible—that is, to become a true disciple."

"If you have any new ideas regarding the Wandering Zombie Gu, or anything you are uncertain about, you may come find me. I have done some research on this type of Gu."

With a flip of her palm, a black-and-white crystal lotus and a jade tablet appeared in Qin Qingyao's hand.
