My Disciples Are All Villains

Si Wuya waved his arm and said, “Head for the Divine Capital.”

“Sect Master, the Divine Capital is surrounded by the Imperial guards. Ordinary flying chariots won’t be allowed in. I’m worried we’ll run into trouble.”

According to Great Yan’s laws, the Imperial guards were authorized to execute any unidentified flying chariots near the Divine Capital. If there was a serious battle, the Darknet would be at a disadvantage. They were not people skilled in combat, after all.

“No matter… I have a token from His Highness. We’ll have unrestricted access,” Si Wuya said confidently.

“Sect Master, your intelligence knows no bounds! We’ll depart now!”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou received a reward of 200 points for disciplining his eighth disciple, Zhu Honggong. He opened his eyes slowly and glanced at the merit points on the system dashboard; 8,962 points.

‘I still need more than 3,000 points to buy the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines.’

Lu Zhou was under the illusion that he would certainly hit the jackpot if he did a lucky draw right now.

“Lucky draw.”

Three consecutive ‘Thanks for your participation’ mercilessly broke Lu Zhou’s illusion, and he instantly sobered up. He had accumulated 8 luck points.

‘Forget it. I’m giving up on this lucky draw. Poor Mingshi Yin. The merit points he earned for me from disciplining Old Eighth are almost completely spent by me.’

At this moment, Little Yuan’er came running in from outside. “Master.”

Duanmu Sheng and Zhao Yue followed closely behind her.

Lu Zhou closed the system dashboard and asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”

“Jiang Aijian has sent word that Wei Zhuoyan has sent about 3,000 men to our mountain. They’ve already passed Anyang,” Little Yuan’er said.

Duanmu Sheng snorted and said, “This Wei Zhuoyan can’t tell bad from good. It’s bad enough that he’s unwilling to admit his guilt, but he even dares to send soldiers here! Master, grant me permission to descend the mountain and fight with them. I want to kill all of them.”

Zhao Yue chimed in, “I concur!”

When Little Yuan’er saw how decisive her seniors were, she quickly said, “I want to descend the mountain as well!”

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “I think Wei Zhuoyan has properly thought this out since he’s bold enough to send so many men to the Golden Court Mountain.”

“Master, is it possible Wei Zhuoyan is stronger than the 10 great elites?” Little Yuan’er asked skeptically.

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “This has nothing to do with their strength. I won’t even consider them as worthy opponents even if they send 10,000 men here, let alone 3,000.”

Zhao Yue bowed and asked, “Master, are you saying these people aren’t here to fight?”

Duanmu Sheng said with a nod, “Indeed, there’s a possibility of that.”

At this moment, a female cultivator walked in slowly and bowed before she said, “Pavilion Master, Mister Fourth has returned.”

“Let him in.”

A short while later, Mingshi Yin sauntered into the great hall. “Master, I’ve gone to Tiger Ridge and gave that rascal, Zhu Honggong, an earful. Also, I met Old Seventh at Tiger Ridge. He promised to unlock the box. I’ll be retrieving it in seven days.”

“Alright,” Lu Zhou replied calmly.

Mingshi Yin continued, “Master, do you want me to bring Old Eighth back the next time?”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Old Seventh and Old Eighth are close. If we capture Old Eighth, we’ll lose our connection to Old Seventh. Old Seventh is a cunning character. We should leave Old Eighth be for now.”

“That’s brilliant, master,” Mingshi Yin said with a bow.

Lu Zhou looked at Mingshi Yin and asked, “You met Old Seventh?”

Mingshi Yin nodded. “Old Seventh’s schemes run too deep. I don’t understand what he’s after. Although he’s no longer in the Evil Sky Pavilion, I’m still his senior brother. I told him to use his Peacock Plume. All we need now are Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother’s weapons. With Old Seventh’s methods, I’m sure there won’t be a problem.”

Lu Zhou shook his head slightly. “These rascals are only coveting the treasure in the box.”

“That box is extremely mysterious and can’t be forced open. With the final key, the Amorous Hoop, in your hands, master, they won’t be able to get their hands on whatever is in the box.”

Lu Zhou had already thought about this. Knowing Si Wuya, Old Seventh, he would never leave a treasure box like this alone. Many people knew about the treasures in the Evil Sky Pavilion. The cultivators under the heavens would never notice if there were an addition or removal of a single treasure. Rather than leaving the treasure inside the box forever, it would be better for it to be opened. Nobody could stop the nine disciples from possessing the treasures without elaborate plans.

“Let’s put the matter of the box aside for now,” Lu Zhou said with a wave of his hand.

“Master… This is my cultivation method that I’ve written down. Please inspect it.” Little Yuan’er quickly placed her copy on the table before Lu Zhou.

This situation made Lu Zhou look like an old instructor in an ancient private school. Little Yuan’er was one of the students whose works were pending his approval. Lu Zhou skimmed through the small booklet.

The Supreme Purity Jade Slip emphasized on connecting the body’s motions with one’s fists. The cultivator would, through his unyielding hard work, channel Primal Qi from the surroundings into his own body and improve his cultivation base through this cultivation process. This cultivation process was highly favored by nature. It was a most profound cultivation method.

Fortunately, Lu Zhou’s memories contained the mnemonic chants and Qi-channeling technique of this cultivation method. He was also very familiar with it. All he needed was a single glance, and he could see where it was lacking.

“Hm?” Lu Zhou frowned slightly. “Grab a brush.”

“Yes, master.” Little Yuan’er quickly prepared the Four Treasures of the Study and laid them out before Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou dipped the brush in some ink and began writing. He filled up the parts that were lacking in the Supreme Purity Jade Slip.

His disciples looked on nervously. They dared not say anything. They merely watched silently from the sides.

Lu Zhou counted about 10 missing crucial sentences in the cultivation method. When he filled up the missing parts, he was even more surprised. This was because Little Yuan’er actually managed to cultivate the missing parts with her own talents. The more remarkable feat was that she did not descend into depravity because of the missing parts.

“Yuan’er.”

“Yes, master.”

“I’ve improved and completed your cultivation method. You’ll cultivate according to these guidelines from now on,” Lu Zhou said calmly.

Little Yuan’er was overjoyed to hear this. “Thank you, master! I won’t let you down. I’ll enter the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm as soon as I can!” She received the completed Supreme Purity Jade Slip respectfully before she hurried to the side and began poring over the text.

When Mingshi Yin saw this, he hastily said, “I’ll go and write down my cultivation method now.” He would not let this opportunity slip through his fingers. One of the biggest reasons why he, Duanmu Sheng, and Zhao Yue did not leave the Evil Sky Pavilion back then was due to them being limited by their cultivation methods. Now that his master was willing to help them improve, he was, naturally, excited.

“This is my Divine One Technique.” Duanmu Sheng presented his cultivation method with both hands.

“This is my Brilliant Jade Technique.” Zhao Yue placed her copy on the table as well.

‘There aren’t many omissions in the Divine One Technique… It’s only lacking a few sentences.’ Lu Zhou browsed through it and filled in where necessary.

However, the Brilliant Jade Technique was lacking in its crucial parts. The Brilliant Jade Technique was a proper peak heart technique. It was a cultivation method with a profound power. When it was activated, the cultivator’s skin would become as translucent as jade. Its power was not unleashed outside, but it accumulated inside instead. While it was activated, the cultivators would not need to expend their own internal strength but were able to increase their power. In this way, they could use the technique without having to rest at all. Their source of strength would be practically endless.

After muttering to himself for a while, Lu Zhou completed the Brilliant Jade Technique. “Discard the concept of one and the other, merge with the outside world. When you immerse yourself completely, you’ll attain the flexible nirvana. This is the final mantra of the Brilliant Jade Technique. Zhao Yue…”

“Yes, master.”

“You’re not completely healed yet. You should put off cultivating this for now,” Lu Zhou said calmly.

“Yes, master.”

“Ding! Completed the Supreme Purity Jade Slip. Reward: 200 merit points.”

“Ding! Completed the Divine One Technique. Reward: 200 merit points.”

“Ding! Completed the Brilliant Jade Technique. Reward: 200 merit points.”
