This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 292 - 40 Black and White (Part 2)

More and more people were starting to pay attention to me, I just didn’t know if the Serpentine Wizard had noticed me.

Five days later, the final battle would take place, and it was said that the Serpentine Wizard would be there to watch. I wonder what kind of person the Serpentine Wizard is?

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, in midsummer, on the tenth day, everything that happened today still feels like a dream when I think back on it.

Just before the final battle was about to begin, the Serpentine Wizard finally arrived.

I had thought that the Serpentine Wizard would be like the village chief, an old man with white hair or a middle-aged person, but to my surprise, the Serpentine Wizard was so young and... handsome.

Though he still looked very majestic and frightening.

In the subsequent final battle, my opponent was the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Wizard of Water.

Although I didn’t fear his Poison Art, I was nonetheless two realms below him in terms of Cultivation. After a hard fight, I was ultimately defeated.

But unexpectedly, instead of the Wizard of Water, the Serpentine Wizard took me on as an apprentice.

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, late summer, on the first day of the new moon.

The Serpentine Wizard, oh no, I should say Master, today I performed the disciple induction ceremony with my Master, who gave me many gifts, which made me especially happy.

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, late summer, on the second day of the new moon.

I know now why Master chose to take me as his disciple because, the Cultivation Technique he practices is also the Disastrous Poison Scripture!

After he discovered that I was also cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture, he decided on a whim to take me as his apprentice.

Master prepared many poisons suitable for cultivating the Disastrous Poison Scripture for me and arranged the order in which I should take them, according to his experience.

....

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, late autumn, on the first day of the new moon, after more than a year of being stuck in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, I finally broke through to the mid-stage. Master was also very pleased and rewarded me with a Spiritual Artifact.

In the thirty-second year of Yinkui, late autumn, on the third day of the new moon, today I made a special trip back to Yunmeng Mountain to visit Yun Meng.

After a long time apart, Yun Meng was very happy to see me.

So was I.

...

In the thirty-third year of Yinkui, early winter, on the first day of the new moon,.... breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.....

In the thirty-fifth year of Yinkui, late winter, on the fourth day,... breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Perfection...

In the thirty-sixth year of Yinkui, early spring, on the second day of the full moon, as Master’s most satisfied disciple, Master took me to visit the Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator of the Protectorate Faction, the Scaled Toes Wizard.

On the way, we encountered a Fourth Grade Demon Beast, but Master dealt with it easily.

Master, he is truly powerful.

In the thirty-sixth year of Yinkui, early spring, on the fourth day of the full moon, I met the Scaled Toes Wizard, who was far inferior to Master.

Not only was his Cultivation inferior to Master’s, but his aura and appearance were also worlds apart from Master’s.

In the thirty-eighth year of Yinkui, late spring, on the second day, I prepared to attempt the breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

This time I would use the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison in my attempt to reach the Golden Core Stage.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Poison is the utmost of Foundation Establishment poisons, those poisoned feel as if millions of silkworms are gnawing over their body, the intense pain is indescribable.

But to form the Golden Core, I will willingly endure the agony of a million gnawing worms.

To ensure a flawless attempt, I decide to go back to Yunmeng Mountain for the Golden Core breakthrough.

In the thirty-eighth year of Yinkui, late spring, on the third day.

I won’t go back to Yunmeng Mountain. Master knows I am preparing for the Golden Core breakthrough and says he will personally act as my protector.

Master has always been extremely good to me.

In the thirty-eighth year of Yinkui, late spring, on the tenth day, under Master’s protection, I endured the pain of a million worms gnawing at me and successfully formed my Golden Core.

It’s been just eight years since I was a mere Qi Refinement Layer Two cultivator, and now I’ve become a Golden Core Great Wizard; it still seems unbelievable, and I owe much of this to Yun Meng’s help.

I must quickly go back to Yunmeng Mountain and share the good news of my successful advancement to the Golden Core with her.

In the thirty-ninth year of Yinkui, early autumn, on the tenth day of the new moon, after becoming a Golden Core Cultivator, I gradually began to take over some affairs of the Spirit Snake Faction.

Today, a small village under the care of the Spirit Snake Faction, Flower Rain Village, was attacked by a horde of Demon Beasts. They sent out a Spirit Message asking for help, and I hurried to their aid.

But when I arrived, out of over fifteen hundred people in the village, there were nearly no survivors.

The attack by the Demon Beasts was carried out by an Ear Mouse Demon Beast horde. These creatures have no sense of smell, which naturally makes them immune to the scent of the Poisonous Spirit Flower.

The village was full of dismembered limbs, and an Ear Mouse was gnawing on a little girl’s left hand, bloodied and gruesome.

The girl had not yet died completely, still hanging on to a thread of life. I took action and killed that Ear Mouse.

Before her death, the girl’s consciousness was blurred, and she mistook me for her mother, calling out weakly in her stupor.

"Mom, it hurts…"

My heart was filled with horror and sorrow, along with a sense of unwillingness.

It reminded me of the day my father died...

What did we do wrong to deserve so much pain?

In the thirty-ninth year of Yinkui, during the early autumn, on the first day of the waxing moon, today I went to report the situation of Flower Rain Village to my master.

Unexpectedly, my master, who always seemed as majestic as the sea, shed tears in front of me after learning about Flower Rain Village. Continue your adventure with NovelBin.Côm

I couldn’t believe it.

It turned out that my master’s own village had suffered a similar fate, attacked by demon beasts. By the time the Great Witch Doctor of the Spirit Snake faction arrived, only my master had survived.

My master said that his greatest and only goal in life was to lead his people out of the Three Thousand Great Mountains.

I....

I think I’m falling in love with my master...

....

In the forty-first year of Yinkui, during the early autumn, on the first day of the waxing moon, ... I broke through to the Golden Core Middle Stage...

In the forty-fourth year of Yinkui, in the winter month, on the first day of the waxing moon, ... I broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage...

In the forty-fourth year of Yinkui, in the winter month, on the third day of the waxing moon, I returned to Yunmeng Mountain and met with Yun Meng.

Because of many pressing matters, the last time I came to see her was a year ago. She was very angry, and it took a long time for me to coax her into happiness.

Yun Meng cleansed my body of all the accumulated toxins over these days.

However, it seems that as my cultivation grows, the toxicity of the poisons in my body also becomes stronger. This time Yun Meng used quite an effort to cleanse all the toxins...

In the forty-seventh year of Yinkui, at the start of spring, on the first day of the new moon, in three years it will be the time for the five factions’ alliance, which holds the Witchcraft Conference only once every fifty years.

Last time, the Great Witch Doctor of the Yin Kui Faction seized the position of the Great Elder, so these last fifty years have been known as the Yinkui Years.

My master has been preparing for this Witchcraft Conference for a long time.

Only by becoming the Great Elder and taking control of the five factions can he further his pursuit of leading his people out of the Three Thousand Great Mountains.

My master will surely achieve it!

In the forty-ninth year of Yinkui, in mid-autumn, on the third day of the full moon, ... I broke through to Golden Core Perfection, just one step away from becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

I couldn’t wait to share this good news with my master, and he was very happy, too.

But I noticed that, for some reason, my master’s complexion has become very poor, dark and sullen as if he had encountered something.

I asked my master about it, but he just shook his head and said it was nothing.

In the fiftieth year of Yinkui, during the last winter month, on the tenth day.

At yesterday’s Witchcraft Conference, my master lost. Despite preparing for so many years, my master still lost.

But he wasn’t bested due to a lack of skill.

The Great Witch Doctors of the other four factions, knowing my master’s ambitions and to keep their own interests from being harmed, chose to unite against my master.

No matter how strong my master was, he couldn’t withstand the combined forces of four Great Witch Doctors.

In the eyes of these four Great Witch Doctors, the well-being of their people didn’t seem to count for anything compared to their own interests.

They don’t deserve to be Great Witch Doctors!

In the first year of the Gold Cicada, at the start of spring, on the third day of the new moon, these past few days my master has been very depressed, seemingly still immersed in the defeat at the Witchcraft Conference.

I’m a bit worried about him.

In the first year of the Gold Cicada, at the start of spring, on the tenth day of the new moon, that spirited and proud master of mine finally returned!

In the first year of the Gold Cicada, at the start of spring, on the second day of the waxing moon, my master came to see me today. He said I am the most talented cultivator in the history of the Spirit Snake faction.

From today on, he will guide me with all his strength, and the resources of the Spirit Snake faction will be generously inclined towards me, to help me condense the Nascent Soul with full effort.

I am very pleased because not only does this mean that I am a step closer to becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but it also means that I will spend more time with my master.

In the first year of the Gold Cicada, in midsummer, on the first day of the new moon, my master has gradually been transferring the affairs of the Spirit Snake faction to me.

He said that I would inevitably take charge of the Spirit Snake faction one day, so I might as well start getting familiar with these matters now.

Though that’s what he said, I always feel that something isn’t quite right.
