Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 49: Diabolic Creed

“Who would write a letter to the tiger demons? Haven’t they been hiding from the cultivators so that their whereabouts are unknown?”

The three of them couldn’t make sense of it. Considering how cautious the tiger demons were, there shouldn’t be anyone outside the mountain aware of their existence.

“Why don’t you read out what the letter says?”

Meng Jingzhou cleared his throat, reading out loud with an infectious tone, “Brother Tiger, it’s been a while. How have you been? You have been prudent and unwilling to show yourself, only targeting mortals so that cultivators from the righteous path aren’t aware of your existence. Your cautious approach is admirable, but cultivating like this is ultimately too slow. With the Great Era imminent, factions are beginning to emerge and vie for supremacy, and various parties are eyeing the Central Continent. Didn’t you also seize this opportunity to leave your old home in the Demon Region, break free from the Qiongqi lineage, and thus infiltrate Pine Mountain?

“Being careful...don’t push me. I’m already reading it for you!” Lu Yang and Man Gu sandwiched Meng Jingzhou in the middle so that they could directly see the contents of the letter.

“You read too slow.”

“I’ll read faster; you two move aside.”

Meng Jingzhou pushed the two away and continued reading, “Being careful may not be a major problem in itself, but in this recovering world, one must be bold to grab hold of fortuitous opportunities. Take a leap of faith, refine your bloodline, and transform into a pure-blood Qiongqi. Only then would you have a place in this Great Era.

“May I boldly suggest that you and your wife join me in the Yanjiang Branch? We shall hunt cultivators as prey and plot great deeds together! This envelope contains a token from me. You can come to Yanjiang Branch and use the token to look for me. I can recommend you to become an administrator directly.

“Humble regards, Qin Yuanhao.”

The letter was not long but revealed much critical information.

Lu Yang analyzed, “The letter mentioned that the tiger demons didn't want to let cultivators of the righteous path know of their existence, but this doesn't align with what people would normally say. Most people wouldn't directly say ‘cultivators from the righteous path’ unless the writer of this letter takes the opposite side. Could this Qin Yuanhao be a cultivator from the diabolic path?”

That would also explain why there were cultivators who knew about the tiger demons but didn't report it.

On the Central Continent, the righteous path held an absolute advantage, so demons, devils, and ghosts were natural allies. With the tiger demons as an example, they wouldn't directly attack people but instead get tiger-henchman ghosts to lure them over.

Not only did the male tiger demon possess the Qiongqi bloodline, it was also at the Golden Core Stage. It only made sense for the diabolic path cultivators to attempt winning it over to their side.

“If that's the case, is Yanjiang Branch a diabolic creed’s base?”

Meng Jingzhou nodded. “Diabolic creeds like to name their bases based on their location. It's just that we don't know which diabolic creed Yanjiang Branch belongs to.”

Similar to how righteous path cultivators had the Five Great Immortal Sects, diabolic path cultivators had the Four Great Diabolic Creeds.

Diabolic creeds were cults and not sects. The greatest difference was whether they worshiped a powerful entity. The Four Great Diabolic Creeds held different faiths. Some claimed that their beliefs represented four immortals while others said that they were simply four different incarnations of an immortal. There was no consensus.

The diabolic creeds hardly revealed anything to the outside world, and their whereabouts were elusive. The Great Xia Dynasty and the Five Great Immortal Sects had collaborated on multiple occasions but still failed to locate the headquarters of the diabolic creeds. Whenever righteous cultivators weeded out a large area of the diabolic creeds’ bases, members of the diabolic creeds would pop up again like bamboo shoots growing after a rain. There was no end to killing them.

Although the diabolic creeds were said to be mysterious, using strange and ruthless methods and instilling fear in people's hearts, it was ultimately because the righteous path was too strong. As such, the diabolic creeds didn't dare to reveal themselves, resorting to playing tricks and operating from the shadows.

Anyone who could find the diabolic creeds’ main lair didn't even need to ask the Five Great Immortal Sects to intervene. The Great Xia Dynasty could just dispatch soldiers and turn the diabolic creeds inside out in just five days and eliminate all their bases in a month.

This was the confidence of the righteous path.

The diabolic creeds were still unpresentable and not up to standards.

Lu Yang shook the envelope, revealing a bone tablet. A special true qi still lingered on it, left behind by the diabolic creed member, Qin Yuanhao. Outsiders couldn't imitate it.

Man Gu wondered, “Can we use this tablet to join the diabolic creeds?”

Locating a diabolic creed’s base was a major achievement, much more valuable than annihilating two tiger demons.

Lu Yang shook his head. “No, if we use this tablet to join the Yanjiang Branch, Qin Yuanhao will definitely find out. Besides, we don't know where the Yanjiang Branch is. How are we going to join them?”

“What should we do then?” Man Gu asked.

“Since they're called Yanjiang Branch, they should be in Yanjiang Commandery. We can go to Yanjiang Commandery and inquire if there is someone called Qin Yuanhao. We'll follow him and find Yanjiang Branch. Since he addressed himself humbly before the tiger demon, his cultivation shouldn't be higher than that of the tiger demon, so we can get rid of him. That way, we can directly use the tablet and say that we are old friends of Qin Yuanhao; we came to seek him out, not expecting that he had died.”

“Good idea.” Meng Jingzhou's and Man Gu’s eyes lit up.

“Rummage through the place once more; see if we can find any other good stuff.” Lu Yang excitedly urged Meng Jingzhou to get to work.

Meng Jingzhou came across a blood-red grass. It was the size of his palm and looked a little demonic. “Why does the Blue-Blood Grass have red veins?” Meng Jingzhou was bewildered. The primary use of Blue-Blood is detoxification, and its veins are cyan and resemble flowing rivers. Why is this particular one red?

Lu Yang crouched down to examine it. “Have you forgotten? The primary use of Blue-Blood Grass for humans may be a key ingredient in detoxification pills, but that isn't the case for demons. As Blue-Blood Grass has the effect of refining blood, the tiger demon could have been using its blood on the Blood-Blue Grass for a long time so that it’d mature and become accustomed to the Qiongqi bloodline. It looks like it’ll take a few more months for the Blue-Blood Grass to become completely ripe. After the tiger demon consumes it, its Qiongqi bloodline will be even more refined, and it can seize this opportunity to form its Golden Core.”

That was how the term “blood” in its name came about. Lu Yang had learned about the Blue-Blood Grass from the little herb kings. He continued, “Now that this Blue-Blood Grass can no longer be concocted into detoxification pills, it can only allow demons to purify their blood when ingested. “

“In that case, you can stow it away and sell it during the sect’s market on the fifteenth of every month. It should be able to fetch a good price.” Meng Jingzhou passed the herb to Lu Yang and Man Gu.

As there was a sizable number of people in the sect who raised demon beasts, herbs that could improve their bloodline had quite a demand.

Lu Yang and Man Gu kept declining the Blue-Blood Grass and offered it to the other party in an exchange of courtesy. In the end, Man Gu couldn’t beat Lu Yang in terms of politeness and accepted the Blue-Blood Grass.

Meng Jingzhou reminded Man Gu, “Don’t eat the Blue-Blood Grass. The Ancient Barbarian Tribe is a branch of humans; the herb has no use on your bloodline.”

“Oh,” Man Gu responded in pity.

Legend said that the Ancient Barbarian Tribe originated from a romantic marriage proposal. In ancient times, humans still lived in scattered tribes. The strongest person in the tribe would be called a warrior.

One day, two tribes met. A male warrior from one of the tribes took a liking to a female warrior from the other tribe and proposed to her. “Hey girlie, smile for me. If you make me happy, I’ll marry you.”

The female warrior laughed mischievously, raising a rock and swinging it back. The two became entangled in a brawl. Finally, the female warrior prevailed and dragged the male warrior into a room.

It was a sleepless night.

Ten months later, the first Barbarian Tribe fighter was born.
