Double Cultivation
depraved technique
Outside of Su Yang's residence, an old woman stood at the door with a nervous expression on her face.
This old woman was Elder Wu, the Sect Elder who just happened to be there for the examination of the Su Yang District Court disciple.
"Why did Matriarch order me to come here — in particular me? This is the young man who oppressed the old …"
Elder Wu did not want to come here, nor did he want to see Su Yang, especially after what happened in the Examination Hall. However, since this was an order coming from the Matriarch, she had no other choice but to appear here.
Moments after knocking on the door, Su Yang appeared in front of Elder Wu at the door.
"Outside Court disciple, Su Yang, I am here to tell you that you have passed the judgment with a striking color. Congratulations on becoming a District Court disciple," Elder Wu said as he handed over a new identity badge and five Spirit Stones.
"500 Premium Points and five Spirit Stones have been awarded to you as a reward for passing the exam. Moreover, you will now be given 3 Spirit Stones at the beginning of each month."
"Furthermore, you now have the privilege of entering the Hugs Room at the price of Premium Points or Spirit Stones."
"Handling Room?" Su Yang, who had never heard of such a place, asked.
"It was a divine place within the Profound Blossom Sect. If you cultivate there with your partner, the effect will be doubled."
"Oh? A place like that is here?" Su Yang's eyes opened slightly in shock, his gaze filled with curiosity.
Could this divine place possibly have 'it' grown there?
"I'll make sure to visit there when I have time ." he said.
Elder Wu nodded, and he continued: "After you are ready to receive your things, you can head to the Distribution Center to receive your new robe as a Court disciple in that – is also where you go to receive your monthly Stone."
"Do you have any questions for me before I leave?"
"I have one ... What are the requirements to become a Core disciple?"
Su Yang's unexpected question made Elder Wu dumbfounded. He had just become a disciple of the District Court and he already wanted to take the examination for a Core disciple?
However, as ridiculous as Su Yang saw in Elder Wu's eyes, he still said: "One of the greatest requirements is that you should reach the True Spirit Realm before you turn 21. The next requirement is that you must participate in the Regional Tournament."
"Regional Tournament?"
"This was a tournament held only once every four years in the Holy City, the largest city in the Eastern Continent, the world's largest city, the place where geniuses under the age of 30 from all over the Eastern Continent gathered to show off their talents in duels with each other. The winner of this tournament will not only receive a good prize of great value, but they will also get a rare opportunity to meet the rulers of the Eastern Continent and its Four Great Families— of the Xie Dynasty. "
"Xie's Dynastic?"
Su Yang suddenly recalled Xie Xingfang, the young lady whom he had imparted Immortal-grade techniques so that he could cultivate his Heavenly body, the body of a hundred Poisons.
While Su Yang had easily guessed that Xie Xingfang was someone with a deep background at the time, he did not expect his family to become the overlord of the Eastern Continent.
"When is the next Territory Tournament?" he asked with the intention to join, as he had unfinished business with Xie Xingfang.
"The next one is at the beginning of next year, there are still five months left until then. Do you intend to join?" ask Elder Wu.
"Sure, if that's what I need to become a Core disciple."
"I understand," he nodded.
When he finished speaking, Elder Wu realized that he had stayed longer than intended, so he quickly said goodbye and turned to leave.
After he left, Su Yang returned home. When he closed the door and turned around, he saw a figure staring at him from the room next to his room.
It was her roommate whom she had not seen for a long time, Tang Hu.
Su Yang's eyebrows shot up when he saw Tang Hu's terrifying appearance and pale complexion.
"Surga— what happened to you? I thought for a moment that I was looking at a ghost when I first saw you!" Su Yang said to him, who looked very sick.
"K-K-You're a District Court student now?"Instead of answering Su Yang's question, Tang Hu wanted to make sure that he had heard their conversation properly.
"Rubber." Su Yang nodded.
"Isn't it .. Se-Congratulations to you, I guess .." Tang Hu said in a weak voice, sounding as if he was already out of breath.
Seeing her unusual appearance, Su Yang narrowed his eyes to Tang Hu.
"You-"Before Su Yang could say anything, Tang Hu quickly returned to his room and closed the door.
"…"
Su Yang stood still there with a brooding expression on his face.
After standing there for a while, he let out a long sigh before returning to his room.
"What's up now?"
Qiuyue asked him as soon as he saw his face, reading an indifferent expression like an open book.
"Do you know about depraved Techniques?" Su Yang suddenly asked her.
"Trejat technique? Is it like a Forbidden Technique?" Qiuyue shook his head. Even he had never heard of such a thing before.
"really. Just as the Forbidden Technique was favored in the Cultivation World due to the corrupt methods required to cultivate it, the depraved Technique robs their users of morality and encourages them to commit heinous acts of – mostly in the sense of s*ksual – and slowly push them into crazy condition. "
"… Are you talking about the boy next door?" Qiuyue suddenly asked him.
When she used her Spiritual Sense some time ago, Tang Hu was the first person she noticed because of their distance. However, since there was no connection between them and she could not be bothered by a human like Tang Hu, she did not even bother to stop to wonder about his condition.
"No." Su Yang nodded and said: "The fool somehow managed to obtain the Evil Technique and cultivate it, hence his sickly condition. If I don't immediately do something about it, not only will he cause great damage to himself but he will also injure those close to him— if he hasn't already. "
"He's just a stupid human being, why bother wasting your efforts on that? It was his decision to cultivate the depraved Technique from the start, and there was no reason for someone like you to help him."
Although Qiuyue showed deep care and affection towards Su Yang, it was only because of the special position he had given Su Yang in his usually cold heart. As for Tang Hu, whom he had no relationship with – he was just a stupid human being no different from the ants in his eyes, hence his cold reaction towards him.
