I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 145: Chapter 106: Heaven Does Not Perish My Blood Spirit Child_2

Translator: 549690339

More than eighty years had passed, and he was well over a hundred years old, his vitality was still strong. Having become a respected veteran in Wu Country’s martial arts circles, he owed it all to that one fruit found so long ago.

He had returned here again, but he never found another fruit.

Each time, he dared not venture too deep into the mountain crevice.

The emergence of Meng Chong made him realize that he might have missed a great opportunity in the past, and so he brought two of his disciples along with him this time.

A hundred feet into the crevice, a cold wind blew from within, causing one to shiver involuntarily.

The darkness, depth, and complete silence within the mountain crevice was terrifying enough that one would shudder with fear if they were to traverse it alone.

“Master, should we keep moving forward?”

The disciple in the front took out a Luminous Pearl, lighting up the dark crevice. In the soft glow of light ahead, the mountain crevice seemed to be ready to swallow people up.

“When I was young, I missed this great opportunity out of fear. Do you also want to miss your chance?

“Think about the power of Meng Chong, don’t you want to be like him?”

Senior Wu spoke in a deep voice.

“Master is right!”

The disciple gritted his teeth and continued forwards.

The crevice began to slope downwards, growing deeper and more frigid than before. The cold wind became more intense.

The temperature kept dropping.

Just when all three of them, poised on the edge of surrender and overwhelmed by fear, were about to retreat…

Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.

“Quick, we’re almost there, our chance is coming!”

Senior Wu exclaimed joyfully.

The three of them hurried forward and came to the source of the light, discovering it was a cave. In the center of the cave, there was a pool.

The pool emitted a faint silver glow, illuminating the cave.

“What is this?”

Around the pool grew some silver-colored grass, an enchanting sight.

The stone walls of the cave bore faint inscriptions as if something was carved onto them.

“Are those martial arts cultivation techniques? Could the water in this pool be some kind of treasure?”

Senior Wu excitedly walked into the cave.

The two disciples were equally thrilled about the discovery.

They arrived at the edge of the pool and observed several sprigs of silver grass. They were clearly extraordinary herbs.

The water in the pool, radiating a silver light, was beautiful and hazy – a real treasure.

“Master, when I was young, I read in a novel about a certain spiritual water that can cleanse the body and rejuvenate someone. Could this be it?”

As the disciple spoke, he stripped off his clothes and walked naked into the pool.

Seeing this, the other disciples quickly followed, immersing themselves in the water.

“Master, come and join us, we feel so energized in this water! It’s amazing!”

One of the disciples called out.

Senior Wu scolded them, “You fools, the best way to use this spiritual water is to drink it. Isn’t soaking in it just polluting the water?”

Both disciples stiffened instantly, their minds seemingly blank.

“Young people…”

Senior Wu sighed and shook his head. He was about to undress himself to take a soak, the idea of the waters’ rejuvenating properties enticing him…

Suddenly!

His expression hardened. Something was not right!

The disciples were freeze in place, their eyes bewildered as if they were dazed.

As an experienced veteran who had narrowly escaped death many times in the past, he did not hesitate at all and turned to the cave exit, sprinting towards it.

He moved with agility and vigor, not betraying his age at all.

However, with a thump, a large stone fell and blocked the exit of the cave.

Fear gripped Senior Wu’s heart. He turned back and was horrified at what he saw.

In the pool, numerous white, almost transparent worms were burrowing into his disciples’ bodies. The sound of them hissing was audible as they visibly drained the life out of the disciples, leaving their bodies withered.

In the end, only their clothes remained – their hair had vanished as well.

Gulp!

His face turned deathly pale. The horrifying sight made his skin felt numb.

The small transparent worms crawled out from the pool and began to fuse together into one larger organism. What formed was a strange, blood-red worm visible through transparent skin.

The worm, with neither visible eyes nor mouth, began to inch towards Senior

Wu.

Senior Wu’s expression turned stern. He drew his sword and slashed at the worm, but in the blink of an eye, the worm vanished.

He only felt a sharp pain in his brow, as if something had burrowed into his head, causing his consciousness to become chaotic, as though his being was being swallowed whole.

He tried to utter a sound, but only gasps were coming out of his open mouth.

“It was you who ate my bait left outside, but refused to come in, causing me to be trapped here, unable to leave…”

Senior Wu’s pupils contracted, as a cold voice surfaced in his mind. The last trace of his consciousness, trembling with fear, asked: “Who are you? Spare me, senior…”

“You deserve to die for eating my bait but refusing to come in, causing me to be trapped here.”

The cold voice, full of fury, interrupted him: “You’re so old now, yet you still came… You are quite pathetic indeed, your body almost reduced to a carcass!”

The surviving consciousness of Senior Wu: “My disciple is young, senior…”

He felt a bit aggrieved… If they were particular about age, why target him? His disciple was young, wasn’t he?

“Blood food has not eaten my bait and is not suitable… Hehe.”

The chilling voice started to laugh.

Senior Wu’s last bit of consciousness disappeared completely.

The collapsed Senior Wu twitched once before standing upright, his eyes now becoming cold and full of fury.

How can such an old and feeble body be of use? How can I recover my strength…”

He moved his feeble body. On Senior Wu’s face appeared an expression of helplessness.

He looked at the pool of water and jumped in.

It seemed as though he was mobilizing his cultivation technique. After a long while, he opened his eyes, full of unwillingness.

“Damn it, this place is a wilderness, devoid of Heavenly Earth Lingji, unable to sense the spiritual energy of nature to cultivate.”

The silver glow of the pool water gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared.

Rising from the pool, he contemplated for a moment, picked up a silver grass and swallowed it directly, then started operating his cultivation technique.

“Finally recovered a bit of strength.”

Looking at the remaining silver grass, he plucked another one and swallowed it down.

“Two plants, nearly reaching the limit.”

Senior Wu, helpless, took out the remaining few silver grass plants, only then did he close his eyes.

“Consciousness is in chaos, not much left, Wu Country… a well-known figure in the martial arts world? Eh, what’s this?”

Suddenly Senior Wu’s eyes brightened.

“Hahaha, heavens haven’t forsaken me, Blood Spirit Child, in this barren land, there’s actually such a physically powerful person?”

Blood Spirit Child burst out laughing.

“That young man has such a robust body. If I devour his flesh and blood, this old body of mine will turn young again, increasing hereditary aptitude.”

“As long as I return to the Inner Domain, lay low for some time, I should be able to restore my old cultivation.”

Blood Spirit Child was extremely excited. In the corner of the cave, he dug out an old, brown knife with saw teeth on its back.

“My precious knife has turned lackluster, how many years has it been?”

Blood Spirit Child sighed.

Swinging his knife to open the entrance stone of the cave, he walked into the crevice between the mountains, his excited voice echoing inside: “Young man, you’re the cornerstone of my Blood Spirit Child’s comeback, as long as I devour you… damn it, his consciousness is cluttered in his old age, I wasn’t able to fully access his memory…”

“What was the young man’s name, where does he live?”

“Once I’m out, I’ll go to Wu Country, I’m a respected figure in the martial arts world, I can get the information by asking around.”

“Hahahaha, wait for me everyone! I, Blood Spirit Child, will surely make you live in fear once again!”

Blood Spirit Child walked out of the deathly silence of the wilderness, making his way towards the endless mountains, where he encountered people from Wu Country who were on their way to seek a skilled individual in the mountains.

“Senior Wu!”

On seeing him, the people of the martial world quickly paid their respects.

“Hehe… the bastard is quite famous.”

Blood Spirit Child sneered contemptuously.

The martial artists who were paying their respects paused for a moment, feeling something off about Senior Wu.

“Become my blood food.”

With a swift swung of his saw-toothed knife, Blood Spirit Child instantly killed the martial artists, swallowing their blood and essence with a cold, chilling power.

“Bleh… bleh… too disgusting, not eating anymore. I’ll eat the robust young man.”

Blood Spirit Child spat a few times.

Continued walking outwards, “After devouring the young man, I’ll have to find a way to split off from the Blood Worm, otherwise I’m merely occupying this body in the state of a Gu creature.”

Bumping into a few more martial artists, he caught them single-handedly, coldly asking: “Do you know where the robust young man is? What’s his name?”

The faces of the martial artists turned pale, filled with fear. It seemed Senior Wu had… changed?

“He, he’s named Meng Chong, we don’t know where he is.”

“Meng Chong?”

Blood Spirit Child remembered the name, then raised his knife again, “You don’t know where he is? Then you can die!”
