Begonia's lily-white hand paused. Her long fingernails had already touched Qian Rongzhi's skin. Just a moment more, and her brain would have burst open.
Qian Rongzhi's eyes were still blank, as if she couldn't feel the tightened veil around her.
Begonia laughed at herself. She had miscalculated twice today, which actually made her doubt her own Art of Enchantment. How could a mere sixth layer Aura Refining cultivator resist her enchantment?
She then asked, "Then how did the two grannies Ximen and Ximen die?"
Qian Rongzhi answered.
…
A moment later, Begonia had a general understanding of the matter. She looked straight into Qian Rongzhi's eyes. "From today onwards, I will accept you as my direct disciple. You must be absolutely loyal to me, and you can't deceive me."
Her eyes flashed, turning these words into an unshakable seed in her heart, deeply planting it into Qian Rongzhi's heart. Then, she let out a light sigh, revealing a bit of exhaustion.
The veil dispersed, and Qian Rongzhi fell to the ground. As if she had just woken up from a great dream, she roused from her daze. She shook her head and saw Qiu Haitang. She blurted out, "Master!" Then, she covered her mouth, her face full of surprise. Not to mention that she had already been expelled from the sect, even in the sect, she was only fit to call her sect master.
Art of Enchantment, for people like Li Qingshan and Little Ann who cultivated special cultivation methods and divine abilities, it might not be considered much, but its true use, once it was unleashed, it was terrifyingly strong.
The School of Mohism could only control puppets, and the Corpse Refiners could only control corpses, but they could control living people. As a spell that had an extremely high requirement for talent, it could still be passed down to this day without being lost, which showed how amazing it was.
…
Qiu Haitang said, "Should I thank you?"
Qian Rongzhi said, "Disciple doesn't dare, disciple was just lucky."
"Then what about the two grannies Ximen and Ximen? Was it also your luck? " Begonia suddenly asked. She was very suspicious and asked the same question she had asked Just Now. Under the charm, Qian Rongzhi should not have any memories.
Qian Rongzhi frowned and said, "Master knows that Wei Yingjie is just an idiot, how can he compare to the two grannies? He could kill the two grannies. Only tenth layer Qi Practitioners or even Foundation Establishment cultivators can do it. I think Vice Sect Master Wei is a little suspicious. "
"That's not something you should say," Begonia said solemnly, but the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile. Her behavior was exactly the same as Just Now.
He looked at Qian Rongzhi condescendingly. No matter how ruthless and calculative you are, in the face of absolute power, you can't do anything. It was also completely useless. From today onwards, your talent in scheming will be used by me.
Qian Rongzhi said fearfully, "Yes, Master."
But in his heart, he was sneering, "Absolutely loyal to you? Never deceive you? This kind of wishful thinking is what you want to say to Hwa Seung-zan the most! "
Everything was going as planned.
Everyone was used to using what they were best at, just like how it was impossible for the disciples of the Sword Collection palace to not use swords, and it was impossible for the disciples of the Burial Mound mountain to not use zombies. It was impossible for Begonia not to use her charm technique.
Compared to scheming. As expected, Clan Master Qiu was still more used to directly controlling his opponent's mind.
When Begonia revolved her mana and used her charm technique.
Qian Rongzhi felt her consciousness being destroyed and receding like the tide. The shallow enchantment that she had cultivated did not help her, and the calming pill that she had taken earlier did not have any effect either. In front of the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she prepared and defended. It was not worth mentioning.
However, these were just smokescreens. What she was truly relying on was the deep understanding of enchantment that she had gained through her cultivation during this period of time. Therefore, she was fearless.
It was impossible for her to be controlled by Begonia. Not even she herself could do it.
In the past, she had grown up with hatred that was as deep as the ocean, but for the sake of revenge, she was forced to wear layers upon layers of masks. Suppressing herself and hiding her hatred was not as easy as she imagined it to be. Apart from absolute rationality, nothing could suppress the flames of hatred.
However, as time went by, everything developed in a way that completely exceeded her expectations. At some point in time, revenge was no longer the most important thing to her. If Qian Yannian was willing to hand over the position of leader of the Qian family to her, she could even continue holding it in for the sake of becoming stronger. The flames of hatred that had burned her for almost a decade began to dim and powerless.
Rationality overwhelmed her hatred, and her methods overpowered her goals.
As a result, when she got what she wanted and succeeded in her revenge, She was finally able to peel off her layers of masks, but she discovered that there was only emptiness beneath. As a result, she wept bitterly, but she did not achieve enlightenment and cleanse herself, nor did she cast aside her cleaver and become a Buddha. She only wiped away her tears and continued down her path through rationality.
Human instincts and emotions were still providing meager motivation, growing and entangling like vines naturally, even if the vines did not know the meaning behind it.
That dazed state was not feigned. However, absolute rationality was still driving this body. It was ridiculous that Begonia still wanted to use such a low-level method to test her.
The last seed of thought that Begonia had planted was insignificant compared to the seed of hatred that she had planted for herself. However, even hatred could not control her.
"How can master's pure and clean body be tainted by this old man? I think that apart from Commander Hua, no one else is worthy of master."
"If you really think so, then I'm relieved." Begonia's expression softened a little. She thought to herself, "You can't possibly have any other thoughts other than this."
Sure enough, Qian Rongzhi said, "As a disciple, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will help master to get what she wants. As for that Li Qingshan, I will not let him go. Although disciple's cultivation is shallow, even if I have to perish together with him, I will take revenge for master. "
The gamble had been won, and it was time to collect the money.
Begonia took out a jade scroll from her hundred treasures pouch. "It is inconvenient for others to know about our relationship, and master cannot teach you every day. This jade scroll records the cultivation experience of the [Incantation], as well as the more profound art of charm. You can go back and slowly comprehend it. Revenge is not in a hurry."
Then, she took out a few bottles of medicinal pills and handed them to Qian Rongzhi. They were all medicinal pills that Qian Rongzhi urgently needed to cultivate the [Incantation] and the art of charm.
This kind of preferential treatment was rare even in the sect. Not only did the disciple need to have enough talent, but they also needed to go through many years of loyalty tests. There was naturally no problem with Qian Rongzhi's loyalty. Giving her some benefits would also help the seed of thought grow.
Begonia was not worried that Qian Rongzhi's strength would be strong enough to erase the seed of thought she planted. Qi Practitioners who had the seed of thought planted in them would have their temperament and willpower distorted, making it very difficult for them to cultivate. Even if their Aura Refining realm could still grow, it was absolutely impossible for them to break through to the Foundation Building realm.
Qian Rongzhi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, master!"
Qiu Haitang said, "Go!"
Qian Rongzhi bowed extremely respectfully. "Disciple will take her leave." Then, she turned around and walked out the door. Suddenly, she heard Begonia say, "Do you like that Li Qingshan?"
Qian Rongzhi turned around, her face blushing. She bit her lips and mumbled, as if she was too embarrassed to say it. However, under the influence of the seed of thought, she had no choice but to say, "I … I like master." She knelt down in fear. "Please forgive me, master!"
Begonia smiled slightly. "You're very honest. Why would I blame you?" Absolute loyalty would give rise to feelings similar to love. It would be strange if this was not the case.
Unknowingly, Qian Rongzhi had also planted a seed in Begonia's heart. "This woman is absolutely loyal to me. She won't betray me. She's not a threat to me."
Qian Rongzhi safely stepped out of the building. What a foolish woman. If you want to control others, the Art of Charm is only a support. If you want to be Little Ann's master, you're still not qualified!
…
Hwa Seung-zan, Li Qingshan, Little Ann, and Wood Kui were walking slowly. Each of them had their own thoughts, so they didn't speak much.
Hwa Seung-zan suddenly said, "There are some things that you should know, Qingshan."
Li Qingshan said, "About the Gate?"
"Yes. The disciples of the Gate, regardless of gender, mostly rely on the Way of Plucking to cultivate. However, this is only the method for those with poor aptitudes. Those with truly exceptional aptitudes will be specially selected to cultivate alone. Compared to the former's licentious ways, the latter is almost strict. They must ensure that their Primordial Yin won't be lost until they reach the Foundation Building realm."
"Afterwards, they'll find another Foundation Building cultivator and begin dual cultivation of Yin and Yang. Moreover, once they've chosen a partner for dual cultivation, they can't be changed at will. It lasts for centuries or even millennia. It's even more stable than the marriage of mortals. It's the most orthodox Way of dual cultivation of Yin and Yang in the school of Daoism. It can be regarded as a shortcut."
Only then did Li Qingshan understand. When he saw Little Ann's slight worry, he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. "Don't worry. We're not going anywhere. Just come with me. Don't you trust me?"
Little Ann bit her lip and smiled in embarrassment.
Only now did Hwa Seung-zan feel that she was an innocent and pure child. Even Li Qingshan seemed to be infected by some of her childishness. He really had no idea how they ended up together. For some reason, the words "relying on each other" appeared in his mind. He was rather eager to see Hua Chenglu.
Li Qingshan asked, "Brother Hua, are you very familiar with Begonia?"
Hwa Seung-zan said, "If you don't mind, you can just call me Chengzan. I got to know her when I was young. The previous sect master brought her to my clan as a guest. Because we were both in the Clear River prefecture, we talked a little more often."
Hwa Seung-zan made it sound simple, but Li Qingshan could tell from the nostalgia on his face that the two of them were not just familiar with each other. They were basically childhood sweethearts. They were both cultivation geniuses, and they were around the same age. It would only be strange if some sparks did not fly between them.
Li Qingshan smiled. "Then I hope you reach Foundation Establishment soon, brother Hua, and you can win the heart of a beauty. I think that sect master Qiu is very interested in you." As long as he was not blind, he could tell what Begonia was thinking. However, this playboy just happened to be slightly unwilling. The reason for this left him perplexed.
If Begonia was willing to undergo some form of dual cultivation with him, he would agree to it a hundred percent. Although he was still thinking about Gu Yanying, he still had to eat and drink for his long-term goal. Thinking up to there, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
