Master’s Plan to Revitalize the Demon Sect with Beautiful Girls - Chapter 76



Chapter 76: She Has Been Searching for Almost a Year

The middle-aged man gathering herbs on Xiaoci Mountain was named A Jiu.

In these times, there were many people without names, and the middle-aged man was one of them.

Of course, he could give himself a surname, but he was simply too lazy to do so.

Having an extra surname wouldn’t change anything, so he had always been called A Jiu.

Moreover, he had been called this name for decades, and suddenly changing it would feel strange to him.

He made a living by gathering herbs and occasionally went to various mountains.

Due to the special nature of Wolf City, all kinds of herbs were in high demand.

From the golden sore medicine used by ordinary people to the healing pills used by cultivators, these things were always in demand and never enough.

“Our village is near the foot of Xiaoci Mountain; we’ll be there soon.” A Jiu, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, said.

A Jiu noticed that he hadn’t encountered a single Zhu Yan today and suspected it was thanks to the cultivator behind him.

However, He Youzhou didn’t seem to do anything. It couldn’t be said that those Zhu Yan retreated just because they saw He Youzhou, right?

“Is your village far from Wolf City?” He Youzhou asked casually.

“Not far, you can see the city gate in just over an hour,” A Jiu replied.

However, Wolf City is very large. It may not take long to get to Wolf City, but it takes a long time to wander around inside.

The reason why this city is called Wolf City is largely because the people in the surrounding area like to use wolves as their totem.

They believe that wolves can give them the strength of bravery and can defeat foreign enemies and monsters.

“Don’t think that because Wolf City is close to the border and there are monster tides, it’s not lively when there’s nothing happening,” A Jiu said.

Normally, one would think that such a dangerous place would be very deserted, but in fact, it is not.

It is precisely because Wolf City is very close to the border of Lie Country that the foreign population, caravans, and so on are particularly frequent.

This has made Wolf City a gathering place for things from all over, attracting countless people.

Otherwise, the Yunshang Exhibition would not have chosen to be held in Wolf City.

In addition, there are many unclaimed areas between countries, and secret realms often appear in those areas, which has further attracted cultivators to Wolf City.

By the way, this is also the reason why medicinal herbs are in short supply. Many cultivators buy a lot of life-saving items before heading to the secret realms.

“Really?” He Youzhou didn’t know much about Wolf City, so he was quite looking forward to it after hearing what A Jiu said.

A Jiu suddenly pointed ahead and said, “This is our village.”

Unknowingly, they had already left Xiaoci Mountain and returned to A Jiu’s village.

The people here mostly wore tanned animal skins rather than linen.

Moreover, He Youzhou saw wolf totems everywhere. For example, there were wolf patterns on simple flags, and wolf statues were used to ward off evil in front of houses.

“Do you want to come to my house for a while?” A Jiu asked.

In fact, he had been using He Youzhou to avoid monsters all the way, so he felt a bit embarrassed now.

But it didn’t seem right to tell He Youzhou so directly.

So he wanted to express his gratitude in a roundabout way.

He couldn’t give anything else, but he could still offer He Youzhou some food.

He Youzhou looked at his bag full of cakes and shook his head, “No need, I want to get to Wolf City quickly.”

“Alright.” A Jiu scratched his head, a bit helpless.

However, since He Youzhou didn’t want to stay, he wouldn’t force him, “If you keep walking in this direction, you’ll see a trade route. Follow the trade route and you’ll reach Wolf City.”

“It’s easier to get lost at night. If you want to set off, you should go now,” A Jiu said.

If you set off now, you will reach Wolf City around the hour of You, and it will not be dark yet.

“Thank you.” He Youzhou remembered the direction A Jiu gave and thanked him.

He Youzhou waved his hand casually, then put his hands in his sleeves and left the village.

A Jiu looked at He Youzhou’s back and shrugged. This cultivator gave off a light and airy feeling.

It wasn’t the kind of celestial aura, just a feeling like a cloud.

Encountering He Youzhou was just a small interlude for A Jiu.

But unexpectedly, after bidding farewell to He Youzhou, he met an unfamiliar girl in the village.

“Excuse me, have you heard of a place called Tianyan Sect?” The girl with a ponytail asked the villagers for directions, and A Jiu overheard.

The girl was about eighteen years old, dressed in clean and neat attire, exuding the aura of a heroic young woman.

However, the small cat accessory hanging from her waist added a touch of cuteness to her.

“No, I haven’t heard of it.” The person being asked shook their head and left, leaving the girl looking disappointed.

This girl was Lin Qingxue, who was searching for Tianyan Sect.

Ever since she saw the erected sign at Tianyan Sect, she had been heading west and unknowingly reached the border of Lie Country.

For such a long time, she hadn’t been able to find any information related to Tianyan Sect.

But such setbacks did not defeat Lin Qingxue. For her, who had already abolished her cultivation, there was no way back.

The only thing that could make her completely despair was if Tianyan Sect refused to accept her as a disciple in the end.

If that happened, Lin Qingxue would probably give up the path of cultivation and return to being the young lady of the Lin family.

In that case, her dream of acting chivalrously would be completely shattered.

Therefore, until the last moment, Lin Qingxue did not want to give up.

“Are you looking for Tianyan Sect?” A Jiu looked at the cute girl and couldn’t help but ask.

He suddenly understood what a beautiful girl meant.

Thinking about it, his daughter could also be called a beautiful girl, after all, his daughter was also very cute.

“Yes, do you know Tianyan Sect?” Lin Qingxue immediately perked up and asked quickly.

“I met someone this morning who said he was from Tianyan Sect,” A Jiu said. “It seemed to be a man.”

“Is it a senior?” Lin Qingxue immediately got excited.

There were only three people in Tianyan Sect, and the only man was He Youzhou.

Lin Qingxue was very excited and her tone was full of expectation, “Where is he?”

“He said Tianyan Sect is at the top of Xiaoci Mountain,” A Jiu pointed in the direction of Xiaoci Mountain for Lin Qingxue, “but that man seemed to be heading to Wolf City.”

“What…” Lin Qingxue was slightly stunned.

Tianyan Sect was at the top of Xiaoci Mountain, and He Youzhou was heading to Wolf City.

“I think, if you’re not a cultivator, it’s better not to go up the mountain easily,” A Jiu added. “The mountain is full of monsters, and you might die if you’re not careful.”

“I…” Lin Qingxue was about to say she was a cultivator, but quickly shut her mouth.

All her helplessness turned into a sigh, “It seems I can only go to Wolf City to find the senior.”

Now that she was an ordinary person, she had no capital to climb the mountain.
