Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2199: Seclusion

In the True Spirit Realm, no matter the sect, taking in disciples was very strict. Moreover, the requirements for moral character were heavy. If Zhao Hai didn’t have a background like his identity in the underground world, he wouldn’t have been accepted by a sect in the True Spirit Realm. Even Demonic and Evil Sects would have a lot of requirements. Not everyone can join their sects.

But in the underground world, accepting a disciple relied on their innate talent. If a person is talented enough, even if they have no background, sects will line up to accept them. This was because these sects needed strength.

Ghost Cultivators didn’t care about their disciple’s moral character. And there was no ghost cultivator that was totally loyal to their sect. In the underground world, traitors acting for the sake of profit were quite common.

Because of this, ghost cultivators wouldn’t send spies to another sect. Even if there were, they were very few. Most of them would be disciples with mediocre strength and ordinary talents. No sect would be willing to send a talented disciple to act as a spy.

It was also for these reasons that Zhao Hai was able to enter the Battle Corpse Sect smoothly and become Wei Tiande’s disciple.

Zhao Hai sat in his new residence for a short while before a voice of the Miscellaneous Hall disciple was heard outside, “Is Junior Brother Zhao Ling here?”

Zhao Hai walked out and looked at the cultivator and said, “Senior Brother is already back? I just handed you my identity token.”

The cultivator smiled and said, “I already changed it. Junior Brother, take a look.” Then he handed Zhao Hai a white jade token. Zhao Hai found that the jade used to make the identity token was much better quality compared to the previous identity token. After Zhao Hai thanked him, the cultivator turned around and left.

Zhao Hai received his identity token and then went back to his residence. He took a bath in the hot spring and then went to bed.

The next morning, after Zhao Hai had his breakfast, he went to Wei Tiande’s cave. When he arrived outside, he cupped his fist and said, “Master, Disciple Zhao Ling is here.”

Wei Tiande’s voice replied, “Come in.” Zhao Hai complied and then walked in. When he entered, he saw Wei Tiande sitting in the living room with a glass of wine in front.

Wei Tiande waved his hand and beckoned Zhao Hai over, “Come and sit.” Zhao Hai complied and sat opposite Wei Tiande.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and then asked, “Little Ling, besides the Heavenly Demon Claw, what other cultivation methods did you learn?”

Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, “Replying to Master. Besides the Heavenly Demon Claws, I also cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body technique. It’s a body cultivation method.”

Wei Tiande nodded. He heard of the Heavenly Demon Body technique. It wasn’t a good cultivation method and could be deemed as ordinary. However, it was indeed a good cultivation method.

Wei Tiande replied, “Being able to reach your current state using the Heavenly Demon Body technique is commendable. Very good.” Wei Tiande wasn’t wrong in what he said. Although the Heavenly Demon Body wasn’t a bad cultivation method, only a few people used it. The technique was too difficult to use. Wei Tiande didn’t expect Zhao Hai to use it.

This was also the reason why Wei Tiande commended Zhao Hai. To be able to reach a high level using the Heavenly Demon Body, it would require a lot of determination. 

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and said, “There are a lot of people in the underground world who don’t treat body refining seriously. They only know how to cultivate their soul. What they don’t understand is that strengthening one’s body would provide a benefit to the improvement of their soul. A powerful soul in a weak body would only lead to destruction. It’s a pity that a lot of fools don’t realize this truth.”

Zhao Hai attentively listened. He now has some knowledge about the techniques of ghost cultivators. However, he didn’t know much about the techniques of the Battle Corpse Sect. He wanted to know how the Battle Corpse Sect refines corpses.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and said, “After cultivating the Heavenly Demon Body, one would transform into a demon whenever they go all out. Everyone’s demon form is different. What demon would you transform into?”

Zhao Hai has some understanding about the Heavenly Demon Body technique. He also heard about it from the undead he made in the Underground World. When he first saw the technique, Zhao Hai was surprised. The technique was similar to the cultivation method of the Heavenly Demons. However, compared to the technique used by the Heavenly Demons, the Heavenly Demon Body Technique was much more advanced. Since the two techniques were similar, it wasn’t hard for Zhao Hai to study it. Most importantly, Zhao Hai’s body was already formidable. The Heavenly Demon Technique was a handy technique to reveal.

Having experience with the Heavenly Demon Race, Zhao Hai could transform into any form he liked. So upon hearing Wei Tiande, he immediately used the Heavenly Demon Body technique and chose a form. Before long, two wings formed behind him as well as an additional pair of arms. Scales also appeared on Zhao Hai’s skin. Two long fangs appeared on his face along with a pair of curved horns. His eyes also turned yellow, and his pupils became slits.

Looking at Zhao Hai’s transformation, Wei Tiande nodded and said, “A Four-armed Demon, very good. It seems like you chose well. You can go back.” Zhao Hai complied and returned to his normal body. However, his yellow robe was now tattered.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai’s awkward expression and laughed. He waved his hand and took out a robe. However, the robes didn’t have any sleeves.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and said, “This is called the Hundred Treasures Robe. I obtained it back when I was young. It’s no longer useful to me, so I no longer wear it. It’s yours now.”

Zhao Hai received the robe with his two hands and said, “Thanks Master.” Wei Tiande waved his hand. Zhao Hai took his robes off and wore the Hundred Treasures Robe. Upon wearing the robe, Zhao Hai felt that it suddenly tightened to his fit. In the end, it became warrior clothing along with pants.

Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh at the function of the robe. At the same time, his image of the underground world elevated once more. In terms of crafting alone, it wasn’t worse than the True Spirit Realm.

Seeing Zhao Hai wear the Hundred Treasures Robe, Wei Tiande nodded and said, “I just saw that your Heavenly Demon transformation has wings on your back. Can you use it to fly?” It must be known that flying was only something that Teleportation Stage experts could do. If Zhao Hai could fly after transforming into a Heavenly Demon, his combat strength would increase several times.

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I can’t. I can only glide at low altitude. I can’t fly like a bird.”

Although he felt that it was regrettable, Wei Tiande nodded and said, “That’s already good. It seems like the Heavenly Demon Body is suitable for you. There’s no need to replace it in the meantime. Take this jade slip. Recorded inside is a claw technique called Ghost Shadow Claw. Practice it first. If you don’t understand something, come and ask me.”

Zhao Hai complied and received the jade slip that Wei Tiande handed over. Wei Tiande waved his hand, prompting Zhao Hai to stand up. Then after cupping his fist towards Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai turned around and left.

After returning to his room, Zhao Hai looked at the jade slip that Wei Tiande gave him. Searching it with his spiritual force, Zhao Hai saw information about the Ghost Shadow Claw. Looking at the details, Zhao Hai was certain that the cultivation method wasn’t ordinary.

The improved Heavenly Demon Claw was quite strong, but it focused on lethality. Every time the claw was swung, it always aimed to kill the enemy.

The Ghost Shadow Claw was different. It paid attention to the changes in battle. It had varying stances that followed the flow of the fight.

If this technique was fused with the Heavenly Demon Claw, the technique’s lethality would greatly improve. Wei Tiande only saw Zhao Hai make a single move, yet he was able to find a suitable technique for Zhao Hai. Not to mention his strength, his eyes alone made Wei Tiande on the same level as the Yin Yang Elders. Naturally, if the Yin Yang Elders joined forces, they would defeat Wei Tiande.

Zhao Hai’s room has a small training ground. After seeing the Ghost Shadow Claw, he was itching to try it out. He immediately went to the training ground and began to practice the technique. At the same time, he used his spirit to fuse with the technique. Before long, his claw swipes became better and better.

People would oftentimes forget about the time when they practiced. Zhao Hai also went into seclusion in the past. It was common for him to be closed up for several years. Now that he was occupied with practicing the Ghost Shadow Claw, Zhao Hai has forgotten everything else.

Zhao Hai was now considered to be in seclusion, albeit he didn’t inform anyone. On the other hand, news began to spread throughout the Battle Corpse Sect about Wei Tiande accepting a disciple. Moreover, this disciple had just joined the Battle Corpse Sect. As soon as this new spread, the entire sect exploded.

It must be known that Wei Tiande was a famous Elder of the Battle Corpse Sect. Moreover, he has never accepted disciples. There were plenty of geniuses who were yearning to become his disciple, yet none of them were chosen. But now, a newly joined member was able to snatch this position. Some even suspected that Zhao Hai was of Wei Tiande’s bloodline. He was from a bloodline branch of Wei Tiande outside the sect.

Surprisingly, people who expected Zhao Hai to come to the canteen to eat no longer saw him. He seems to have disappeared. People began to wonder why Zhao Hai wasn’t going out.

Wei Tiande only became aware of the news three days after Zhao Hai began his seclusion. After giving Zhao Hai the Ghost Shadow Claw, he didn’t see Zhao Hai the next day. Wei Tiande expected Zhao Hai to come to him for advice, but he didn’t appear. This made Wei Tiande a bit annoyed, but he didn’t force Zhao Hai to come and see him. In any case, Zhao Hai was his disciple. There should be a reason why he didn’t come.

Wei Tiande was annoyed, so his temper naturally bore its fangs. As a master, he couldn’t send someone to Zhao Hai to invite him to come. That would be shameless. Therefore, he didn’t go to Zhao Hai. That was until three days later. As Wei Tiande was about to blow up from anger, he immediately called a cultivator over and asked, “Have you seen Zhao Ling? Where is he?”

Hearing Wei Tiande, the cultivator stared. He thought that if Zhao Hai went into seclusion, he should at least inform his master. Wei Tiande unexpectedly didn’t know that Zhao Hai went into seclusion. However, the cultivator didn’t dare show his astonishment in his face, he immediately answered, “Replying to Elder. Ever since he left your room, Zhao Ling hasn’t been seen outside. He hasn’t come out of his room.”

Although the cultivator envied Zhao Hai, he didn’t dare deceive Wei Tiande. Everyone knew that deceiving Wei Tiande was courting death. Even if he urged Wei Tiande to be mad at Zhao Hai, the cultivator still wouldn’t become Wei Tiande’s disciple. Instead, he might even be killed. Therefore, the cultivator told Wei Tiande the truth.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tiande stared. Then his complexion couldn’t help but change before returning to normal. A smile slowly appeared on his face as he said, “No wonder that kid could practice the Heavenly Demon Body. He’s a cultivation maniac. Haha. Good, good. It seems like the kid can accept my legacy.” Wei Tiande’s voice wasn’t small, so the cultivator also heard it. The cultivator couldn’t help but tremble a bit, but he quickly restored his calm.

Wei Tiande looked at the cultivator and said, “You can go back. Don’t tell anyone about what happened just now. You should know the consequences.”
