“You said earlier that everyone from the Heavenly God Cult should be torn apart by thousands of blades?” asked the Sect Master of Qinglian Sect.

Zhao Gou nodded.

“And then you felt that Elder Qing Teng seemed somewhat unwell, so you wanted to help examine him!”

Zhao Gou nodded again, quickly adding an explanation.

“I truly didn’t do anything. I just wanted to check his condition, but somehow, as soon as I touched Elder Qing Teng, he was suddenly torn apart. Sect Master, please believe me! My medical skills are actually quite exceptional!”

In the grand hall of the sect, silence reigned.

Everyone’s gaze upon Zhao Gou held a hint of unease.

Noticing their expressions, Zhao Gou hastily clarified further.

“No, you have to trust me. I genuinely did nothing to Elder Qing Teng. My medical expertise is truly remarkable; this is all just a misunderstanding!”

The crowd remained silent, while the Sect Master of Qinglian Sect pondered aloud.

“Right before Elder Qing Teng was torn apart, you stated that members of the Heavenly God Cult deserved such a fate. The most puzzling aspect is how it happened without any visible cause or means to prevent it.”

A pause followed.

The Sect Master’s gaze shifted back to Zhao Gou.

“Perhaps you could say something more?”

Zhao Gou looked puzzled.

“Cough, Sect Master, if I truly had such command over my words, wouldn’t I already be invincible?”

The Sect Master nodded earnestly.

“That’s true, but for now, heal Elder Qing Teng. Once he recovers, there are some questions I need to ask him.”

At the mention of healing, Zhao Gou immediately perked up.

“Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely cure Elder Qing Teng,” he confidently replied.

As he moved forward to begin treatment, the Sect Master persisted.

“Why don’t you try cursing the Heavenly God Cult members again just to see!”

Feeling helpless, Zhao Gou sighed.

“Fine, then let every member of the Heavenly God Cult explode instantly whenever they cross my path!” He spoke with a hint of resentment, recalling how two spies indeed exploded before his eyes earlier.

Noticing nothing happened, the Sect Master appeared slightly disappointed.

“Well, go ahead and treat Elder Qing Teng!”

Zhao Gou brightened at this permission. Approaching Elder Qing Teng, he rubbed his hands together and whispered softly:

“Elder Qing Teng, please have faith; my medical skills are unparalleled!”

With that, he gently lifted Elder Qing Teng’s arm.

“BOOM!”

A deafening explosion echoed through the hall.

The entire hall was filled with silence.

Zhao Gou held Elder Qing Teng’s arm, his expression somewhat dazed and bewildered, tinged with melancholy. Finally, as if losing all sense, he sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the bloodstained scene before him.

In the solemn atmosphere of the sect’s grand hall, everyone remained silent. It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

After an indeterminate period, the Sect Master cleared his throat and spoke, “Very well, we have all witnessed this incident. It is clear that Elder Zhao did not cause it. As for Qing Teng’s death, I believe each of you has reached your own conclusion. Remember, this matter must not be discussed openly; we need to ensure Elder Zhao’s safety!”

All the elders nodded in agreement.

“We understand!”

“Hmm, considering Elder Zhao’s meritorious act in eliminating the spy, and given the vacancy left by Elder Qing Teng, henceforth, Zhao Gou shall assume Qing Teng’s position!”

Zhao Gou found himself speechless, feeling somewhat numb.

Suddenly, the Sect Master added, “Elder Zhao, although your medical skills are exceptional, perhaps from now on, unless absolutely necessary, refrain from practicing medicine.”

With these words, the Sect Master presented Zhao Gou with a calligraphic inscription:

“Life-ending Physician!”

Zhao Gou felt like crying upon reading it.

“Sect Master, I-I haven’t even practiced medicine yet! He exploded on his own; it has nothing to do with me or my medical skills!”

The Sect Master nodded.

“Ah, yes, I understand. By the way, avoid cursing others randomly from now on. Only curse when I specifically ask you to!”

“I…”

“That’s enough for today. Everyone must be tired; get some rest!”

“But Sect Master, please listen to me…”

The Sect Master raised a hand, interrupting Zhao Gou.

“Elder Zhao, assuming your role as successor to Elder Qing Teng will likely involve numerous responsibilities! Let’s leave it at that – goodbye!”

With those words, the Sect Master departed.

Zhao Gou glanced around at the other elders.

They all bowed respectfully.

“Congratulations, Elder Zhao! Truly divine abilities you possess!”

“Elder Zhao, let’s interact more often in the future…”

“Elder Zhao, forgive any past offenses, and please accept my immediate apology!”

After exchanging pleasantries briefly,

they noticed Zhao Gou reaching out.

Terrified, they hastily left.

Naturally.

The Sect Master reappeared again.

“Sect Master, please hear me out…”

Snap!

Handing over the elder’s token to Zhao Gou, the Sect Master swiftly vanished once more.

“Rumble~”

Outside the grand hall,

a bolt of lightning streaked across the darkness,

briefly illuminating the gloom.

In that moment,

it also revealed

Zhao Gou’s expression displayed utter despair!

Upon returning to the Qinglian Sect,

Liu Shunyi hastily chose to resume his cultivation.

There was no other choice for him.

Having witnessed the capabilities of the Gold Core realm today,

Liu Shunyi suddenly realized that

his mere Foundation Establishment level

was utterly insignificant in the eyes of a Gold Core Cultivator.

So, back at the Qinglian Sect,

Liu Shunyi started consuming medicine pills relentlessly.

Regardless of their type,

he devoured them excessively.

Then, he frantically activated the Imperishable Primordial Art.

However, Liu Shunyi didn’t anticipate that while ingesting these pills, one particular pill had unforeseen effects.

As soon as he swallowed it,

a surge of uncontrollable spiritual energy began wildly escalating within him.

The spiritual power became overwhelmingly intense.

Liu Shunyi found himself unable to fully assimilate it.

Ultimately,

his body exploded under the pressure.

Of course,

Liu Shunyi’s physical form did not literally burst.

But on the Grand Dao Golden Book,

Elder Qing Teng’s name instantly vanished.

In that very moment,

almost all the remaining purple light descended upon Liu Shunyi.

From then on,

Liu Shunyi felt as if he had been stagnant in the Foundation Establishment realm for hundreds of years.

The minor spiritual power surge posed no threat.

With Elder Qing Teng’s demise,

Liu Shunyi instantly reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

To his surprise, the remaining purple light from Elder Qing Teng’s name evenly distributed to others’ names, making them shine even brighter.

“Hmm? This never happened before. Could it be a new feature after consuming that book?”

Liu Shunyi wasn’t entirely sure,

but this was not crucial at the moment.

What mattered most was:

There were fucking too few enemies.

“This won’t do. Despite some good gains on this outing, there simply aren’t enough adversaries.”

After pondering for a moment,

Liu Shunyi retrieved the mannequin and placed it back in the cultivation chamber.

He prepared to venture out again immediately.

Just then,

Chen Qiaoli appeared suddenly.

“Hm? Are you planning to leave now?”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

Chen Qiaoli shook her head.

“Wait a couple of days. Tomorrow is Elder Zhao Gou’s victory banquet, which everyone must attend. Leaving now could easily expose you!”

Liu Shunyi was taken aback.

“Elder Zhao Gou’s victory celebration?”
