This sigh contained a great deal of loneliness, resentment, and unwillingness ….
Chung Shen-soo looked up and saw a middle-aged cultivator in a gray robe with a sallow face.
His face was full of vicissitudes, and the Heavenly Cauldron Sect's symbol was embroidered on his chest. He seemed to be an outer sect disciple of the Heavenly Cauldron Sect. However, there was nothing good in his stall.
The Heavenly Tripod Sect was good at making elixirs, but he only sold some basic spiritual flowers and herbs.
At this moment, after letting out a sigh, he looked at the bustling market and began to silently pack up and leave. His back view carried a trace of melancholy.
"This person … is also plagued by misfortune, and seems to be even more fortunate than Zhu Longer …"
Chung Shen-soo looked at his back and followed him with his Spirit Eye Art.
The middle-aged cultivator's cultivation level was not high, probably around Level-8 or Level-8 Qi Refinement.
However, the most convenient thing about this world was that there were all kinds of magic tools. He first went to a restaurant to buy a pot of wine. It was not spirit wine or medicinal wine, but the most common strong wine in the mortal world. Soon after, he summoned a green leaf-shaped magic tool and flew out of the market square in a wobbly manner.
Although there might be robbers outside the market, no one came to rob him.
They probably knew that this person was so poor that he could not even afford a pot of spiritual wine. However, he wore the tiger skin of the Heavenly Tripod Sect, which made him very difficult to deal with.
Chung Shen-soo leisurely watched this person fly all the way to the Heavenly Tripod Mountain.
There were a few small towns near the Heavenly Tripod Mountain, which were built by the Heavenly Tripod Sect to settle down the relatives of cultivators. They were not governed by the law and did not have to pay taxes or do hard labor. It was a paradise.
At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator landed in a small courtyard in Xujia Town.
The eyes of a mortal girl who was washing clothes lit up, and she called out, "Dad …"
Then, she looked at the pot of wine and became sad. "You went to drink again."
She hung her clothes on a bamboo pole and said, "Today, there's news from the clan … Old Ancestor Xuyuan has reached the Golden Core Realm, and the whole world is celebrating. We'll be rewarded too …"
"Get lost!"
The middle-aged cultivator gulped down a mouthful of wine. His temper suddenly became extremely violent, especially when he saw the gift boxes in the main hall. He went berserk and kicked the boxes over.
"You …"
The girl was so angry that she ran out while crying.
Only then did the middle-aged cultivator close the door to his room and drink cup after cup of strong liquor. He even deliberately didn't use his magic power to dispel the drunkenness.
After a very, very long time, he sighed faintly. "Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan … Heh … I, Xu Guo, have peerless natural talent, and there was a phenomenon when I was born all those years ago. Later on, my father and mother found someone to take a look at me, and they said that I possess the Seven Star Immortal Root and the Exquisite Dao Physique, and my future is limitless … But the darkness in the clan, that Xu Yuan relied on the fact that his father was the Patriarch, and he actually directly used the Cauldron Seizing Grand Technique to seize my foundation and natural talent …"
"But I … I have no one to complain about this!"
Xu Guo's eyes were filled with tears. "If it wasn't for the flaw in the Cauldron Stealing Technique, once I die, my talent will disappear. Maybe I'll be a dead man … Even so, Xu Yuan only allowed me to live like a dog. Previously, for my parents, now for my daughter, I endured it … But since this person has reached the Golden Core Realm and can refine his talent and reforge his foundation, I'm afraid … my time is up."
The Cauldron Stealing Technique was a secret technique of the Heavenly Cauldron Sect. It could help cultivators obtain better cultivation talent.
But there was a flaw in this technique. The person whose foundation was taken away had to live.
Xu Guo lived, but he was monitored day and night. He was not allowed to become successful, so he could only roll in the mud for the rest of his life.
At this point, even surviving was an extravagant hope.
"Not bad, Xu Guo. You're very smart."
As soon as he said that, another cultivator appeared in the room. He looked similar to Xu Guo.
"As expected … You guys never stopped monitoring me. I've always been a prisoner." Xu Guo laughed bitterly. "I'm going to die today. Can you spare my daughter? She doesn't know anything."
"We're all from the same clan. It's not impossible to spare your daughter's life. But the ancestor said that if you don't remove the roots, it will grow again …"
The cultivator in black sighed. "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. Your parents didn't die by accident. They wanted to expose the matter and were killed by us."
"Good, good Xu Yuan, good Xu family!"
Xu Guo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Even if I die, I'll turn into a ferocious ghost and demand their lives!"
"Forget it. If I kill you, my body and soul will be destroyed. I won't even be able to become a ghost. Moreover … even if you turn into a ferocious ghost, can you deal with a Core Formation ancestor?"
The cultivator in black sneered. "You won't be lonely on your way to the Yellow Springs. Your daughter will soon accompany you."
Clap clap!
At this moment, another round of applause rang out in the quiet room.
Chung Shen-soo walked out unhurriedly and said with a smile, "I've seen many shameless people. To be so shameless to this extent, you can be considered a talent."
Xu Guo laughed bitterly.
He already knew that he was living under surveillance, but today, this small house was almost as lively as a vegetable market.
But now, the person who came was a variable.
While he was shocked, he was also looking forward to it.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of the Heavenly Tripod Sect?"
The cultivator in black shouted.
Chung Shen-soo laughed. "Do you know what my name is and where my sect is?"
"I don't." The cultivator in black recalled solemnly. He was still wondering if this person was from some famous sect.
"Of course. If you knew, I wouldn't have made a move." Chung Shen-soo laughed. "It's better that you don't know. If I made a move, who could you take revenge on?"
Only then did the cultivator in black realize that he had been fooled. His face turned green.
However, before he could make a move, a green sparrow on Chung Shen-soo's shoulder flew out and pecked him with its beak.
Smack!
A bloody hole appeared on the cultivator's forehead. With a look of disbelief on his face, he fell limply.
"Xu Guo thanks senior for saving my life. I have a daughter …"
Xu Guo was saved from death's door. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
"Forget it … I'll do it to the end. Take this bird and find your daughter quickly. Then, run far away …"
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand.
He was not a good person. He had only met Xu Guo by chance and had acted as he pleased.
Moreover, Xu Guo had thick calamity luck on him. Just like Zhu Longer, it could help him in his cultivation.
Xu Guo bowed deeply and left with the green sparrow.
If he was a person blinded by greed, he would have hugged Chung Shen-soo's thigh and asked him to seek revenge on Xu Yuan.
However, he had experienced many vicissitudes of life. He knew that it was his duty not to help.
If he was greedy and angered a senior expert, his only chance of survival would be gone …
