My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

"Suo Brother!" Qin Ran hurriedly returned the greeting and smiled, saying, "I accidentally got swatted by the Seven-Tailed Fox's claw into the mist, lost my way, and ended up here. I didn't expect to see Suo Brother here again, what a fortunate event!"

"So that's what happened..." Su Changqing said, "I thought Qin Brother had discovered something."

Su Changqing really knows how to talk. Just a single sentence made Qin Ran break out in a cold sweat, forcing a smile as he said, "Suo Brother is joking. What else could I discover?"

"For example, I actually brought you here to your doom," Su Changqing said with a gentle and refined smile, "For example, we don't intend to eliminate the Devouring Demon Willow before it reaches the Harmonization stage..."

He asked, "Didn't Qin Brother realize it? I thought Qin Brother had already figured it out."

In an instant, Qin Ran's heart plunged into an abyss. Su Changqing's words indicated that he had no intention of letting him go.

Realizing this, his body turned cold. He could easily escape from the Seven-Tailed Fox's claw, but could he escape from Su Changqing?

"Cough..." Qin Ran's forehead was covered in sweat, and his forced smile on his face couldn't hold up anymore. "What joke is Suo Brother making?"

"That day when I went to Dan Peak to find Qin Brother and persuade him to lead the way, I told Qin Ran that the Devouring Demon Willow's Avatar Splitting was a special kind of Avatar Splitting, and the Devouring Demon Willow's Harmonization is the strongest in history. So..."

Su Changqing smiled and patiently explained to Qin Ran, "Did Qin Brother ever think about the most crucial question, which is where the Devouring Demon Willow's cultivation technique came from? How could it grow from a small willow sapling in the Lingnan Region into a Ninth-Level Demon Beast like the Devouring Demon Willow? Who provided the nurturing environment?"

Without waiting for Qin Ran's answer, he gave the answer on his own, "It was provided by the Lingnan Immortal Sect. Otherwise, how could there suddenly be an immortal corpse that happened to fall here? How could the Devouring Demon Willow have remained undefeated for so many years?

"Do you know, Qin Brother? Such a simple truth, I thought Qin Brother had already realized it!"

Leaving aside whether he knew or not, Qin Ran was certain in his heart that he was as good as dead.

"The immortal corpse happened to be an immortal cultivator from the Lingnan Immortal Sect, and the cultivation technique he carried happened to be a technique suitable for tree cultivation, a technique that allows infinite Avatar Splitting," Su Changqing smiled as he looked at Qin Ran, "With so many coincidences, why is that?

"Because we need the strongest Avatar Splitting cultivation technique, we need the most powerful Harmonization cultivation technique. This Avatar Splitting cultivation technique was created by a senior of the Lingnan Immortal Sect, but no one has ever practiced it. We need a successful case."

"And of course, as many Dao Fruits as possible," Su Changqing explained their purpose to Qin Ran in detail, "Generally speaking, a cultivator would only have one Dao Fruit. But the Devouring Demon Willow that possesses the Infinite Avatar Splitting technique is different. Theoretically, as long as it devours enough living beings, it can produce endless Dao Fruits."

Testing the cultivation technique and reaping Dao Fruits. That has been the goal of the Lingnan Immortal Sect's plans for tens of thousands of years.

What a devil! From the sound of Su Changqing's words, it seemed that as long as the Devouring Demon Willow could bear it, they could even sacrifice the entire Hengduan Mountain range, including the neighboring countries...

Qin Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

He used to think that Elder Ning was a good cultivator because he had stopped the elder from the Dao Sword Sect from hunting the Five-Tailed Fox. He even thought that Elder Ning would be the ambassador for protecting demonic beasts in this world. Now he realized that Elder Ning spared the Five-Tailed Fox just to leave it for the Devouring Demon Willow.

He used to think that Su Changqing was a cultivator with a gentlemanly demeanor, a jade-faced gentleman, refined and elegant. But now he found him incredibly naive and ridiculous. He had always taught Li Shiyin that this world was extremely dangerous and that cultivators couldn't be good people. Unexpectedly, he himself had been deceived by Su Changqing's outward appearance.

"You can go ahead with your divination techniques and your Dao Fruits. They have nothing to do with me. I don't need cultivation techniques, nor do I need Dao Fruits," Qin Ran said earnestly to Su Changqing, "I just want to stay alive."

"The Dao Union hasn't started yet, and the people from the three major sects haven't arrived. Qin Xiong, you can't leave," Su Changqing said.

"I can surrender and join you," Qin Ran suggested.

Su Changqing shook his head. "It's not that I don't trust you, but I think only a dead person won't leak any information."

"Has Jian Yuanjie died?"

"He's already dead."

"What about Qi Yun?" Qin Ran pointed to Qi Yun beside Su Changqing. "Aren't you going to kill him?"

"Hahaha..." Su Changqing burst into laughter and asked Qin Ran, "Who do you think was the first to die when we entered the Immortal Remnant Land?"

At these words, Qin Ran suddenly realized, and memories quickly flashed back.

He remembered the moment before they gathered to enter the Immortal Remnant Land. At that time, he always felt that there was something in the mist, that his teammates in the mist seemed strange and abnormal. It turned out that Qi Yun had been killed back then.

As time went on, when Chu Batian injured his leg, it was always Qi Yun who supported him. And even after Chu Batian was injured, he still didn't learn his lesson and immediately burst the bubble when entering the mushroom space. It seems that Chu Batian fell into Qi Yun's trap.

After that, before they encountered the tentacle monster, they were chasing after a figure, and at that time, he always felt that the figure looked familiar. Now he realized that the figure was Qi Yun's figure!

Qin Ran looked at Qi Yun, and Qi Yun's figure quickly changed, fading away from a human shape and turning into a fierce, pitch-black, monkey-like form!

In fact, Qi Yun had died a long time ago, and the one who had been with them all along was this monkey!

"Ghost Monkey!" Su Changqing explained, "It's a monster formed by the soul of a monkey... And this soul is quite fortunate because it has eaten the corpse of an immortal." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"So, I'm the only one who hasn't died?" Qin Ran asked.

"Yes," Su Changqing nodded.

"Is there any possibility that I don't have to die?" Qin Ran struggled to ask in the end.

Su Changqing looked at him without saying a word, and Bai Ruoxi quietly drew her sword.

"In that case, there's no room for discussion..." Qin Ran sighed, bowing his head.

Bai Ruoxi's body was surrounded by constantly rising and disappearing white feathers as she slowly approached Qin Ran. She walked cautiously, believing that Qin Ran wouldn't easily surrender. At the same time, she also believed that Qin Ran was a formidable opponent.

The mist thickened, and Bai Ruoxi's figure became increasingly visible within the fog, getting closer and closer until Qin Ran sensed the sharpness of her sword. He raised his head and shouted behind Bai Ruoxi, "What are you all waiting for?!"

Someone else? Who could it be? Bai Ruoxi was startled because she hadn't sensed anyone else.

She quickly turned around and saw that within the mist, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Bone suddenly came to life. Its branches turned into spears and thrust towards her with a swift "whoosh."

"Be careful, Senior Brother!" she warned and raised her sword to intercept, but when her blade touched the spear-like branch, it felt as if she had struck empty air, as if it were nothingness.

"Illusion?!" she instantly realized.

She turned back to look at Qin Ran and saw him lifting the base of a tripod with one hand, exuding a domineering and ferocious aura as he approached. With the giant tripod raised like a mighty blade, he smashed it down towards her.

The situation was critical, so Bai Ruoxi quickly shouted, "Feather Sword!"

She held the sword with both hands and flew forward, her entire body enveloped in chaotic white feathers. In an instant, they exploded, transforming into countless white flying feathers. Each feather turned into a flying sword, completely enveloping Qin Ran, who was wielding the tripod.

The myriad of white feathers scattered and recombined, returning to Bai Ruoxi's original form.

She stood with her sword in hand on the ground and looked back to where Qin Ran had been, but he was no longer there.

"It's another clone!" Bai Ruoxi seethed with frustration. This guy was cunning and sly, coming up with one scheme after another, slippery as an eel.

However, she had no choice but to go back and find Su Changqing. After all, it was impossible for her to find Qin Ran.

Su Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, observing the Bloodthirsty Dragon Bone, wearing a faint smile of confidence.

"Senior Brother?" Bai Ruoxi approached Su Changqing from behind.

"He ran away?" Su Changqing asked.

"Yes."

"No problem." Su Changqing extended his hand, revealing a formation stone. He smiled and said, "He can only rely on the formation stone to find his way... he can't escape."

Bai Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then looked towards the Bloodthirsty Dragon Bone, asking, "What should we do about them?"

Su Changqing also gazed at the Bloodthirsty Dragon Bone, shaking his head. "Indeed, we came to eliminate the Devouring Demon Willow. Although the process has been somewhat different... the two seniors know the specific situation, so they won't give us a hard time."

Two seniors?

Bai Ruoxi looked around and saw a colorful butterfly fluttering in the misty sea over there.
