Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 68: The Curse Descends

After staying comfortably in the new house for a few days, Su Fan returned to Ashen Dove City.

Arriving at Liu He's small courtyard, the kid was waiting for him and ran over excitedly when he saw him.

"I thought you left without saying goodbye?"

Su Fan couldn't help but feel emotional. This kid was not bad, but his father had said to have less contact in the future.

"I've been looking for a house outside these past few days, and I've found one."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Liu He's face showed a disappointed expression.

Since entering the inner sect, he hadn't been living as comfortably as before. He had been having a tough time recently.

Rarely did he have someone who would listen to his nagging every day, but now he had to move away.

"Why look for a house? This place has been empty for a long time, just stay here."

Su Fan smiled and said, "I've already found a house, it's in Hongye Lane."

"Hongye Lane, where is that?"

"It's not in the city..."

Liu He immediately became dissatisfied and said, "There are ready-made places in the city, why go outside the city?"

"I like peace and quiet, the city is too noisy..."

Afraid that Liu He would continue to complain, Su Fan quickly changed the subject.

He took out the "Ancient Demon Talisman Scripture" from his storage bag and handed it to Liu He. He had already transcribed a copy of this ancient book.

"I've almost finished studying this book, and it has benefited me greatly."

Liu He took the ancient book and chuckled.

"As long as it's useful to you, I don't have the talent to be a talisman master anyway."

Su Fan felt quite emotional. Liu He was carefree and casual. This ancient book could be considered a family heirloom if it were brought to a small family.

But he just casually took it out to show himself, which was no small favor.

"By the way, tell your uncle that I want to join the Shifting Yin Sect."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Liu He grabbed Su Fan's hand excitedly.

"That's great, we'll be fellow disciples from now on."

Fellow disciples my ass. You're an inner sect disciple, and I'm just an outer sect disciple. There's a big difference.

Liu He didn't care about that and happily pulled Su Fan, insisting on treating him to a meal.

Su Fan originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

"Alright, let's not eat in the city. Come to my place, it's a good opportunity for you to acknowledge the sect."

Liu He hesitated for a moment but still readily agreed.

This kid wasn't half-hearted either. He directly booked a table at a restaurant in the city and ordered a table full of spiritual food, as well as two bottles of spiritual wine.

It cost more than two hundred spiritual stones, and Su Fan couldn't stop him.

Arriving at Su Fan's new home in Hongye Lane, Su Fan didn't change his bad habit.

This kid couldn't hold his liquor and kept talking, so Su Fan kept pouring for him.

In a short while, Liu He was completely drunk and fell asleep on the table.

The world suddenly became quiet.

Su Fan threw him into the bedroom and enjoyed the table of spiritual food by himself.

Speaking of which, this table of spiritual food was pretty good in terms of appearance, fragrance, and taste, but it was too expensive.

He ate all the dozen or so dishes and didn't feel a trace of spiritual energy.

The next day, Su Fan was practicing the Nine Extreme Continuous Slashes in the courtyard when he saw Liu He rubbing his head and walking out of the house. When he saw Su Fan practicing swordsmanship, he approached him.

"Big brother, you're already in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, why are you still practicing this stuff?"

Su Fan ignored him and continued practicing his swordsmanship.

"Ah... in a few days, it will be the inner sect's small competition, I'm definitely going to suffer..."

Su Fan stopped and turned to look at Liu He.

"Do you guys compete on the arena in the inner sect's small competition?"

Liu He had a bitter face and said, "The Demon Sect doesn't have an arena, it's all done in the Secret Realms. Evil demons and monsters are everywhere inside, and if you're not careful, you could lose half your life."

"Half your life..."

"The elders of the sect will protect us on the side, so we can save our lives, but it's hard to avoid serious injuries."

"Do Independent Cultivators also go through this kind of assessment in the Secret Realms when they join?"

"These large Secret Realms are not accessible to outer sect disciples. The sect also has more than a dozen small Secret Realms."

Su Fan couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart. The sect is really amazing.

Liu He, this kid, is actually worried about this matter. What a great opportunity for practical combat, and with the support of the elders of the sect.

This kid really doesn't know how to appreciate it.

I estimate that when it comes to the assessment of Independent Cultivators, Shifting Yin Sect definitely won't send anyone to follow. After all, Independent Cultivators are not valuable, and if they die, they die.

It just so happens that I owe this kid a favor, so I'll help him this time.

"I've always wanted to ask, what is your main cultivation path?"

"Um... Curse Descending Path..."

Su Fan immediately frowned. What kind of path is this?

"Alright, attack me..."

Liu He looked at Su Fan in confusion and asked, "Attack you..."

"You're participating in the inner sect competition, right? I'll help you accumulate some practical combat experience."

Only then did Liu He understand. He formed a hand seal and conjured a black arrow with a flick of his hand, shooting it towards Su Fan.

Su Fan was stunned. Is this it...

The time it takes to cast the spell is too slow, the hand seal technique is flawed, and the incantation is probably not good either.

An arrow composed of shadows instantly arrived in front of Su Fan.

Su Fan didn't even draw his sword, he just leaned to the side and swung his right hand to strike.

Bang!!

The arrow formed by the shadows immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.

The Heavenly Demon Sacred Body Technique has broken through to Rank Two. Su Fan's physical strength is already far superior to before.

Facing a normal Low Grade Law Weapon, he dares to withstand a few blows.

This level of spell, according to the requirements of the panel, is just an entry-level: 5/100.

This kid probably learned this spell and stopped practicing.

Not only him, but cultivators in this world generally consider spells to be useless.

Liu He was completely confused and started to babble.

"Big... big brother, you... you cultivate the physical body..."

Su Fan found it amusing and laughed, "I've always been cultivating the physical body, didn't you know?"

"Aren't you cultivating the Soul Path?"

Su Fan couldn't be bothered to deal with him.

"That spell just now, was it from the Curse Descending Path?"

Liu He blushed and said sullenly, "The Curse Descending Path doesn't have any Low Grade attack spells, so I also studied the Shadow Path. The spell just now was Shadow Arrow."

"Then use your best spell and Law Weapon against me..."

Liu He couldn't bear it anymore. The spell he displayed was actually easily defeated by someone barehanded.

He also had his pride, and being young and competitive, he couldn't accept this.

Liu He first formed a strange hand seal with his right hand, then his left hand formed a complex seal. He pointed his right hand fiercely at Su Fan.

Su Fan felt as if an inexplicable dark aura descended upon him, making his body sluggish.

Su Fan shook his head, understanding how the Curse Descending Path works.

It's a very sinister cultivation path that involves curses and hexes.

If a master of this path were to use it, the power would definitely not be underestimated.

If used in specific environments or ambushing opponents in the dark, the power would surely be multiplied.

But Liu He clearly hadn't figured it out yet and couldn't do anything.

His "Sluggish Curse" had no effect on Su Fan, who had reached this level of physical cultivation.

"Big brother, I'm going to make a move..."

After Liu He shouted, he patted his storage bag and summoned a "Blood Net Blade".

Forming a hand seal, he pointed forward, and the "Blood Net Blade" instantly turned into a red blade light and shot towards Su Fan.

Su Fan shook his head. It's a pity for this Middle Grade Law Weapon. Its power can only be exerted to about fifty percent.

Bang!!

Su Fan stood still, not moving at all, and casually swung his sword to send the "Blood Net Blade" flying.

With his current strength and the increased physical strength, plus the three hundred pounds of the sword.

Even if it's a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator, as long as he gets close, he will be tortured to death.

Liu He stared blankly at Su Fan, his face full of disbelief. He had already been affected by his own "Sluggish Curse", so why was he completely unaffected?

Are all physical cultivators this powerful now?
