Kill You Like Killing a Chicken

Li Daniu's eyes gleamed with excitement. This sort of thing was far too common among menial disciples. Huddling together for warmth in the early stages was only natural, but whether those who became regular disciples would later help the people who had supported them was another matter entirely.

As long as he could get the Body Forging Pills he needed from Bai Yu, he could save up contribution points. Once he awakened his Spirit Root, he could exchange them for Qi Refining pills and directly set foot upon the road of cultivation.

Bai Yu was merely a passerby in his life.

As for Bai Yu being favored by the supervisor?

What a joke. He would soon become a regular disciple, and then he would stand on the same level as the Cutting Room supervisor!

Besides, he had observed Bai Yu for a long time. This guy was nothing but a coward who feared trouble.

Hearing Li Daniu's words, Bai Yu's face was full of cold mockery.

Had something gone wrong with this fellow's brain? Did he really think that with his Body Tempering Ninth Layer cultivation, he could steadily awaken a Spirit Root and become a regular disciple?

Had he forgotten one thing? Spirit Roots were also divided into nine grades, high and low. Eighty percent of menial disciples who awakened Spirit Roots each time possessed Inferior Spirit Roots that could not cultivate!

The only fate awaiting those who awakened Inferior Spirit Roots was to become the slaves or cultivation furnaces of regular disciples. Their treatment was not much better than that of menial disciples.

But now that someone had come to slap him in the face, if he did not strike back this time, such things would only happen more and more often. In the Demon Sect, the more afraid you were of trouble, the more others would bully you!

There were especially too many idiots like Li Daniu. Bai Yu dared to guarantee that quite a few people were watching in the shadows right now, waiting for Li Daniu to succeed before coming to take a bite themselves.

At that thought, a trace of killing intent flashed through Bai Yu's eyes.

Now that he had a stable method of obtaining Dragon Qi, establishing his authority was very necessary!

"Then congratulations, Senior Brother Li."

"But how could a mere Body Forging Pill bear witness to our friendship?"

"As it happens, I once stumbled upon a treasure. If Senior Brother Li does not mind, why not take a look? If it suits you, I am willing to give this great treasure to you."

Bai Yu smiled warmly, his tone filled with sincerity.

Hearing this, Li Daniu was initially stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Brother Bai, how could I possibly accept that?"

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I am investing in my future as well."

Bai Yu waved his hand and strode into the stone chamber. Before everyone's eyes, he directly rummaged beneath the bed.

Very quickly, he pulled out a pitch-black jar. Under Li Daniu's greedy gaze, Bai Yu opened it in front of everyone.

Whoosh!

Everyone stared curiously, wondering what treasure lay inside the jar. The instant it opened, a whistling sound suddenly split the air. A black shadow shot out from the jar and lunged straight for Li Daniu's neck!

"Uh..."

The matter happened so abruptly that no one present had time to react.

As a low groan rang out, they saw that a massive black centipede had already bitten a hole into Li Daniu's neck and was continuously devouring his flesh and blood.

Li Daniu's body shriveled at a visible rate. Within a few breaths, he had become a dried corpse, dead beyond all doubt.

"Ying ying ying!"

Black Charcoal let out delighted chirps. After circling Li Daniu's corpse several times, it crawled directly up Bai Yu's trouser leg and finally coiled around his right arm.

The sight before them stunned everyone present!

Li Daniu had actually died just like that!

Was that enormous black centipede a gu?

When had Bai Yu raised such a terrifying thing?

Where had he gotten so many contribution points?

"Now, who else wants me to invest in them early?"

Bai Yu looked coldly at Li Daniu's lackeys and spoke slowly.

The kind were bullied by others. Especially in a place like the Demon Sect, if he did not make these people wary, it would affect his cultivation!

"Senior Brother Bai Yu, we... we were wrong!"

"This was all Li Daniu's idea. We were forced into it too."

"Yes, yes, it was all him!"

The few lackeys were frightened out of their wits. Trembling, they backed away, terrified that Bai Yu would command the black centipede to take their lives.

Seeing this, Bai Yu gave them a frigid glance.

In the Heavenly Demon Sect, life might be cheap, but if he killed all these people, it would likely bring unnecessary trouble afterward.

After all, their lives belonged to the sect. He was only a menial disciple now. If someone provoked him and he killed that person, that was his own ability, and the sect would support it.

But if he killed too many, that would mean he did not know his place. After all, every menial disciple was a resource of the sect.

He ignored the lackeys as they fled for their lives.

Li Daniu's death was just that—a death. No one cared about someone at the Body Tempering Ninth Layer. But Bai Yu's ruthlessness was witnessed by many that night.

For a time, they gained a new understanding of this disciple who often spent contribution points enjoying himself at Joyous Union Peak.

That night.

After feeding the Black-Scaled Snake's venom and flesh to Black Charcoal, Bai Yu began cultivating with Body Forging Pills. With the aid of nine pills, he broke through to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer in just two hours.

[Technique: Qi Drawing Art (Minor Mastery) 2370/3500]

[Skill: Cutting (Major Mastery)]

[Progress: (1560/3500]

[Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Gu (Natal Gu) (Unformed)]

[Dragon Qi Progress: 112/500]

[Yin-Yang Qi: 58/500]

Feeling the more abundant strength within his body, Bai Yu could not help but let out a sigh of relief. At this rate, it would take him no more than a month to reach Body Tempering Perfection.

Coming back to himself, Bai Yu discovered that Yu Linglong had wrapped herself completely in the quilt. A slit had secretly opened in it as she covertly observed him.

Clearly, Bai Yu's actions tonight had surpassed Yu Linglong's understanding.

Bai Yu said nothing about it. He merely took out the geography records and illustrated guide to demon beasts and medicinal herbs issued by the sect and slowly read through them.

Though such things could not increase his strength, they could greatly broaden his knowledge.

After all, the items recorded within were described in great detail. Once he recognized them clearly, he would not miss out if he encountered something valuable in the future.

He could also make a judgment at the first sign of danger.

The two remained silent throughout the night. At dawn the next day, when Bai Yu stepped out of the stone chamber, he found that the gazes of many people around him had changed.

For instance, among the menial disciples heading toward the Cutting Room, most immediately kept their distance and did not dare approach him.

In just one night, all the menial disciples had learned that Bai Yu had refined a gu!

Bai Yu did not care about this.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

With yesterday's experience, Bai Yu handled the Black-Scaled Snakes with even greater ease.

After reaching the Body Tempering Seventh Layer, his spiritual power had become far more abundant, making his movements swifter.

Combined with his serious attitude, his efficiency became even higher.

After processing one hundred and thirty-seven Black-Scaled Snakes, Bai Yu found that there were no more demon beasts left beside him to cut apart.

[Technique: Qi Drawing Art (Minor Mastery) 2370/3500]

[Skill: Cutting (Major Mastery)]

[Progress: (1697/3500]

[Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Gu (Natal Gu) (Unformed)]

[Dragon Qi Progress: 261/500]

[Yin-Yang Qi: 58/500]

The Dragon Qi from Black-Scaled Snakes ranged from 1 to 1.5. Looking at the increased Dragon Qi on the panel, Bai Yu felt exceptionally pleased.

After gently wiping the pointed knife in his hand with a towel, Bai Yu handed over the materials.

"68.5 contribution points. What are you exchanging for today?"

Li Daniu's death seemed as though it had never happened in Pang Tong's eyes. Today, he still asked Bai Yu enthusiastically.

"I will not exchange them today. There are still materials left, and while there is still time, I plan to visit the market at Gu Refining Peak."

"If possible, sir, you may prepare more tomorrow."

Bai Yu spoke respectfully.

"Hahahaha, you brat!"

"Fine, I promise you. There will be at least two hundred tomorrow, but you must be careful."

Pang Tong patted Bai Yu on the shoulder, the fat on his face shaking in every direction with his smile.
