I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?-Chapter 1032 - 534 Gratitude to the Taoist Ancestor, Blood Demon’s Beautiful Aspirations
Feng Yan was busy with the affairs of Qimen Institute and couldn’t spare the time to instill the philosophy in Muxiao. After learning that Muxiao was a Master of Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouse, Shi’er hastily came from Canglan Island.
As for the idea of instilling the "for his own good" concept, Shi’er considered himself quite experienced. Although he had stumbled in his initial attempt with Red Cat, he was certain that he would not fail this time.
After all, Red Cat was a demon who had cultivated to be rational, which was why he had failed.
But Muxiao was different.
Even though Muxiao was a powerhouse, he had been intimidated by the majesty of the Taoist Ancestor. The Taoist Ancestor’s power was mighty and unfathomable, deeply ingrained in his Divine Soul.
And the Taoist Ancestor didn’t kill him, but merely punished him by making him sweep to rid himself of malicious energy, thus creating room to be taught the "for his own good."
Besides, although Muxiao was powerful, he was now restrained in his abilities and was no longer a powerhouse; his judgment, the acuteness of his Divine Soul, etc., were not in the state of a strong being.
With his hands clasped behind his back and a stern expression on his face, Shi’er watched Muxiao sweep, watched as he gathered the fallen leaves into a pile.
The broom was heavy, and with his strength restrained, Muxiao was completely worn out after one round of sweeping, sweat beads forming on his forehead.
This was inconceivable in the past.
Nonetheless, Muxiao had gotten used to it. After he had finished, he put down the broom, preparing to rest a bit. Once he had recovered his strength, he would gather the leaves and carry them away.
He didn’t know why there were so many leaves to sweep every day, but all he could do was repeat the sweeping each day. It was somewhat monotonous, but it was much better than being taken away to be dissected.
Whoosh!
However, he saw Shi’er, who with a wave of his hand, scattered the swept-up leaves in all directions, covering the ground once again.
"You!"
Muxiao immediately became furious.
"Hmm?"
Shi’er glared at him, "Why, do you want to complain? Do you think I’m being unfair to you? Later, if you don’t sweep the floor clean, there will be punishment!"
Snap!
Shi’er pulled out a whip.
Muxiao trembled with fury, and in this moment, his old man’s visage, in this scene, made it seem like Shi’er the scoundrel was bullying an old man!
For the next several days, Muxiao was repeatedly tormented. He harbored endless resentment towards Shi’er and even received a few lashes from the whip because of his resentful glances.
At this time, Muxiao began to miss Feng Yan. Compared to him, Feng Yan truly seemed like a good person!
With the heavy broom in hand, Muxiao swept the leaves into a pile, his eyes coldly observing Shi’er, waiting for Shi’er to scatter the leaves again, forcing him to sweep once more as a form of humiliation.
To his surprise, Shi’er didn’t do so today.

"Aren’t you curious why I am not making things difficult for you today?"
Shi’er said with a grave face.
Muxiao paused, then subconsciously nodded.
"I am teaching you!"
Shi’er stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his head raised slightly as he looked toward the Firmament.
Inside, he was filled with satisfaction. Even having taught a Master of Heaven and Earth level, what a glorious tale it was.
"You must feel now that Feng Yan is a good person, right?"
Muxiao stared at Shi’er, puzzled about what this detestable man really wanted to say.

Shi’er lowered his head to look at him and said solemnly, "I am pointing out to you, to make you understand the great opportunity the Taoist Ancestor has given you, and you should be grateful!"
Without waiting for Muxiao to speak, Shi’er continued, "Feng Yan was strict with you, but did not make things difficult for you, while I, not only harsh but also making things difficult for you, who do you think is treating you better?
"Of course, Feng Yan is better to you. You must miss Feng Yan now, and that is the lesson I want to teach you, to let you understand the truth.
"Were you restricted at the Imperishable Temple, always busy with affairs, always striving to achieve certain goals?
"Think again about the difference between being at the Taoist Ancestor’s place and being at the Imperishable Temple.
"Consider again, what kind of being the Taoist Ancestor is. Any strong being in his place would have killed you, for instance, would the powerhouses of the Imperishable Temple have killed you?
"But the Taoist Ancestor didn’t kill you; instead, he instructed you to sweep the floor and rid yourself of malicious energy. Once the malice was gone, your mindset would improve, elevating your very being, and you would be close to a breakthrough.
"Sweeping the floor is to cleanse the dust in your heart, sweep away the impure thoughts within your Divine Soul. By purifying yourself, moving one step further toward enlightenment, think about the kind of opportunity that is?
"This is a great opportunity bestowed upon you by the Taoist Ancestor. You must seize it, be thankful for it. Countless powerful beings long for the Taoist Ancestor’s guidance yet cannot attain it. How fortunate you are.
"I, Shi’er, cannot bear to see you miss the opportunity given by the Taoist Ancestor. Thus, I’ve taken this approach to enlighten you, to bring you to full realization, so that you won’t miss this chance. The Taoist Ancestor has been earnestly kind, and I am doing this for your own good!"
Shi’er spoke with solemnity, his weighty words causing Muxiao to be stunned, and upon reflection, it seemed indeed to be the case.
The situation and mindset he was in with Feng Yan were completely different from the ones with Shi’er.
Wasn’t it the same when he was at the Imperishable Temple, compared to his time in the courtyard of the Taoist Ancestor? The situation and mindset were also different.
How powerful the Taoist Ancestor was, he could have crushed Muxiao like an ant, yet he didn’t kill him.
And if it were someone from the Imperishable Temple, if he dared to offend, he would probably have been suppressed and suffered severe punishment by now.
"The Taoist Ancestor is teaching me?!"
Muxiao drifted into his thoughts.
Shi’er spoke in a heavy voice, "Although the broom is heavy, it is to sharpen your will and to let you relax after labor. Can you feel how comfortable it is to relax after being worn out..."
Muxiao paused, realizing it was indeed the case. After the exhaustion, finally being able to rest, his whole being felt relaxed and comfortable.
