Chapter 95 - Hidden Ailment
“Legacy disciples?”
Su Zimo frowned – this was the first time he had heard of that title.
Little fatty nodded his head. “Actually, every sect has legacy disciples. They are the prodigies that are highly valued and groomed by the sects. Some sects call them as core disciples.”
Understanding, Su Zimo asked, “You mean to say that Feng Haoyu is a legacy disciple?”
“Not yet.”
Little fatty replied, “But, he’s almost certain to be one once he promotes to become an inner sect disciple. That’s because he’s already begun to cultivate one of the three major secret skills, Ethereal Sword. I heard it was because my master went to persuade the sect master personally.”
When he heard that, Su Zimo’s expression turned grim.
No matter what, he was a human and did not wish to become a true demon.
He had yet to cultivate the Marrow Cleansing to an initial success yet. But once that was done, or if he had achieved phenomenal success, his blood may undergo endless changes and he may never be able to revert to his current appearance.
He could almost imagine the consequences of him failing to control himself earlier on at Spirit Peak and revealing his demonic state.
First, he might be killed on the spot.
Second, he might be forced into a blood oath to become someone’s spirit beast.
If Su Zimo had revealed his demonic appearance, no one would take him as a human.
The only way demons could survive in the cultivation world was by becoming the spirit beasts of cultivators.
It was either that or he would have to leave the sect and live within mountains and forests from now on, mixing around with true spirit beasts while cutting off all ties with his family and kin.
That was something Su Zimo could not do.
Yet, he was not willing to give up on demonic cultivation as well.
“What should I do?”
He was lost.
Naturally, the greatest challenge to Su Zimo right now was the fight against Feng Haoyu at the end of the year.
Right now, he had no way of controlling his blood and if his blood churned while he engaged in melee combat, he was definitely going to reveal his demonic nature!
By then, many seniors of the sect in the audience would take him down before Feng Haoyu could.
If he wanted to win Feng Haoyu, he could only rely on immortality cultivation methods, making use of fighting techniques between Qi Refinement Warriors.
However, he was almost blank in that department since he had never practiced for it.
There were still six months till the end of the year face-off.
Raising his cultivation, refining elixirs and weapons while mastering sword wielding and fighting techniques between Qi Refinement Warriors…
Su Zimo made up his mind to pause on the Marrow Cleansing section.
It wasn’t just because he did not have time. More than that, he did not dare to carry on.
At least, the only thing he could do was to stop his demonic cultivation before he found a way to stop his hidden ailment.
Retrieving the Weapon Tripod from his storage bag, Su Zimo began to work on the step of spirit gathering.
He had a hunch that he would be able to figure out the technique to spirit gathering soon. That was the most important step in weapon refinement!
