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

Chapter 75: Chapter Six – This Mountain is Truly Peaceful

He Youzhou strapped the sword back onto his back, feeling conflicted.

It seemed he had obtained the sword spirit, but it also felt like he hadn’t fully obtained it.

“I really hope it’s a sword spirit with a better personality.” The current sword spirit was so lazy that it was unbearable to look at.

After He Youzhou finished speaking, he waited for the sword spirit’s response.

Unfortunately, even though he complained about her like this, she still didn’t respond.

He Youzhou lowered his head, feeling a bit dejected.

Despite his disappointment, he didn’t stop walking and was now almost at the foot of the mountain.

If there were someone familiar with this mountain at this moment, they would be surprised to find that there were hardly any monsters where He Youzhou walked.

It was as if He Youzhou knew where there were no monsters, or as if the monsters were avoiding He Youzhou.

But either possibility was terrifying.

After all, the area around Wolf City was notorious for being infested with monsters, with each mountain teeming with them.

Especially the small mountain where Tianyan Sect was now located, which was home to a large number of monkeys called Zhuyan.

These white-headed, red-footed monkeys were considered omens of great chaos.

They were rarely seen elsewhere, but were common in the Wolf City area.

Especially on this small mountain, which was known as their gathering place.

These Zhuyan loved to attack people, but this time they didn’t touch a hair on He Youzhou, which was extremely unusual.

However, He Youzhou, who was unfamiliar with this mountain, had no idea about these things.

Indeed, his divine sense detected many monsters on this mountain, but since he didn’t see them for a long time, he assumed they were the less aggressive type.

“Such good luck, to have stopped on a mountain without fierce monsters,” He Youzhou nodded to himself.

The peaceful journey made him grow fond of this small mountain.

Just as he finished expressing his opinion, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat on the mountain, sneakily picking something.

Curious, He Youzhou walked up behind the middle-aged man to see what he was doing.

Since Tianyan Sect never made pills, everyone was ignorant about herbs, and He Youzhou was no exception.

His knowledge of herbal medicine was purely elevated by his own life experience.

He wouldn’t bother to learn about many rare herbs and treasures—knowing about them wouldn’t help him in crafting anything anyway.

“What are you doing?” He Youzhou couldn’t help but ask as he watched the middle-aged man being so cautious.

“Ahhh!” The middle-aged man was startled by He Youzhou’s sudden appearance.

He quickly covered his mouth, looking around in terror, as if something horrifying might appear at any moment.

“Hmm?” He Youzhou was puzzled.

“Don’t scare people! What if you disturb the Zhuyan? It could be deadly!” The middle-aged man said angrily.

He had almost cut his finger with the small sickle out of fright just now, and he was still shaken.

But what scared him the most wasn’t this, it was the Zhuyan on the mountain.

He Youzhou’s eyes were filled with question marks, “Zhuyan? What’s that?”

“You came down from the mountain and don’t know about the Zhuyan?” The middle-aged man looked at He Youzhou in astonishment.

Anyone living near Xiaoci Mountain would know about the Zhuyan.

“A white-haired, red-footed ape?” He Youzhou thought for a moment. There was only one type of monster he had encountered on the mountain.

“Yes, that’s the Zhuyan!” The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

He Youzhou usually only cared about killing monsters and never knew their names.

“So it’s called Zhuyan.” He Youzhou suddenly realized, “I just moved here, so I’m not very familiar yet.”

“You live here?” The middle-aged man looked at He Youzhou in disbelief.

He Youzhou nodded, “Yes, but I’ve been here for less than a year.”

The middle-aged man sized up He Youzhou’s attire and noticed the iron sword on his back, guessing that he was some kind of cultivator.

If he was a cultivator, surviving on Xiaoci Mountain wouldn’t be a problem.

To ordinary people, most Zhuyan were extremely terrifying, but to cultivators, they were generally at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if they weren’t afraid of the Zhuyan, normal people wouldn’t live in such a godforsaken place.

“I’ve never heard of anyone living in a place like this before.” The middle-aged man shook his head and carefully packed up the herbs he had dug up.

The middle-aged man was here to collect herbs; otherwise, as an ordinary person, he wouldn’t be bored enough to climb the mountain.

Although Xiaoci Mountain was dangerous, it had many special herbs that cultivators were willing to pay a lot of money for.

As long as he could find something useful, his family wouldn’t have to worry about food for a month.

Of course, the price was the constant risk of being discovered by the Zhuyan and dying at its hands.

Monsters wouldn’t turn into beautiful girls, nor would they show mercy. Most of the time, they would kill unfamiliar people with a single punch.

The difference between spirit beasts and monsters was simply the difference between “auspicious” and “ominous.”

As for spirit beasts or monsters that had taken human form, they were rare.

“What were you thinking, living in a place like this?” the middle-aged man said irritably.

Because He Youzhou was too easygoing, the middle-aged man didn’t feel much pressure from him and spoke more casually.

If it were another cultivator pressuring him, he probably wouldn’t be so casual, and every sentence would likely have to include “sir.”

“My sect is on the mountaintop, so naturally, I live here.” He Youzhou pointed to the top of the mountain and said seriously.

“Your sect is on the mountaintop? A new sect?” The middle-aged man looked up in astonishment and asked.

“Sort of new.” He Youzhou nodded. “If you know any beautiful girls, you can recommend them to me.”

“Our Tianyan Sect accepts disciples widely.” Although the person in front of him was an ordinary person, he still subconsciously advertised.

“Beautiful girls?” The middle-aged man couldn’t quite grasp it for a moment; the term sounded a bit strange and awkward.

“Beautiful young girls,” He Youzhou explained.

The middle-aged man, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, finally understood what the term meant. “Oh, oh… so that’s what it means.”

“Your sect leader…” The middle-aged man originally wanted to say that the sect leader was a bit of a pervert, but after calming down, he didn’t say it.

The middle-aged man observed He Youzhou and said, “Immortal, are you planning to go down the mountain?”

“Yes, down to Wolf City.” He Youzhou nodded. “I want to find some disciples along the way.”

“In that case, how about we go down the mountain together? You accompany me back to the village, and I’ll show you the way to Wolf City.”

The middle-aged man, who was gathering herbs, felt that having a cultivator accompany him would make him much safer.

Even though they were almost at the foot of the mountain, the number of Zhu Yan was still high.

“Good.” He Youzhou readily agreed, as he didn’t want to waste effort finding the way.
