My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1132 - Reward

Chapter 1132: Reward

Mingshi Yin was sleeping again.

Lu Zhou frowned. What was his fourth disciple doing all day? He was about to scold, but his rationality stopped him. It would consume too much supreme mystic power to transmit his voice across such a distance. Moreover, he recalled Mingshi Yin’s previous behavior and thought Mingshi Yin was probably cultivating the Bluewood Heart Technique.

He was about to cut off the power of sight when…

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The sound of Qiong Qi’s urgent barking rang in his ears.

Swoosh!

Ming Shiyin rushed out of the vines and flew into the air.

Based on the surroundings, Lu Zhou could tell Mingshi Yin was in a Daoist temple. It looked unique and peaceful.

Mingshi Yin looked at Qiong Qi that was next to him and asked, “Did you sense someone?”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Mingshi Yin tidied his long robes before he looked at the foot mountain. However, no one could be seen after he waited for a long time. “Stop barking. I’ll return in half a year to report to master. It’s not easy to find the blue crystals after all. Although it took me less than a month to find the blue crystals, I must tell master it took me a year and a half to obtain them. I’ll say we went through many hardships and were even surrounded by a large number of experts, and as a result, were heavily injured. That’s right, that’s what I’ll say…”

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Qiong Qi continued to bark.

“You must also report the situation to master. Let him know it’s very dangerous and awful. Let him know the witchcraft cultivators here are so powerful… Eldest Senior Brother and master hate witchcraft cultivators the most…”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

“It’s good that you agree with me. I’ll find a few witchcraft cultivators in a few days and let them give you a massage,” Mingshi Yin said as he returned to the Daoist temple.

He was stretching his limbs when he sensed a slight movement at his waist.

“Hmm?”

Mingshi Yin brought the talisman out and ignited it.

Soon enough, Meng Changdong appeared in front of his eyes.

Meng Changdong bowed and said, “Mister Fourth, the Pavilion Master has ordered for your immediate return.”

Ming Shiyin scratched his head and said, “What’s the rush? I haven’t found the blue crystals yet. Give me a little more time.”

Meng Changdong said, “Mister Fourth, I’m only conveying the Pavilion Master’s orders. You… You should decide what to do…”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go! Don’t go!”

Meng Changdong’s projected image disappeared despite Mingshi Yin’s protest.

Ming Shiyin turned around and glared at Qiong Qi who was sitting on the side and sticking its tongue out like a pug. “What are you looking at? Our happy days are over!”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

…

Lu Zhou waved his arm and cut off the power of sight.

Earlier, he had asked Meng Changdong to convey his order to his wicked disciple immediately. He must have been too lax recently that his fourth disciple had learned to slack off and enjoy himself.

…

At noon, Lu Li and Yan Zhenluo returned to the royal palace with the three beast kings’ life hearts.

“Pavilion Master, these are the life hearts of Henggong Yu, the Scarlet-eyed Boar Demon, and Dang Hu,” Yan Zhenluo said after placing three life hearts in front of Lu Zhou.

These three life hearts were the biggest spoil from the beast tides.

Lu Zhou nodded and looked at the duo. “Are you injured?”

“They’re only minor injuries; they’re not serious,” Yan Zhenluo replied. Despite his words, it had not been easy for him to lead the group of people to defeat the fierce beasts and stop the three beast kings in the beginning.

Lu Zhou sent a blue lotus out toward the duo to heal them.

This was the first time the duo was healed by the blue lotus so they did not think much about it in the beginning. When they saw more than half of their injuries had been healed, they were shocked.

“Many thanks, Pavilion Master!”

“Alright. You may take your leave and rest well.”

After the duo respectfully left the hall, Lu Zhou looked at the three life hearts in front of him, in addition to Hu Jiao and the Nether Wolf King’s life hearts, he now possessed five beast kings’ life hearts. Nevertheless, he could not simply use them. They had to be used according to their attributes. After all, blindly using life hearts to activate Birth Charts might result in waste.

…

The next day.

Xiao Yunhe finally returned to the royal palace. As soon as he entered the Preservation Hall, he brought the blue crystals out.

“Brother Lu, it took me a lot of effort to obtain these blue crystals,” Xiao Yunhe said with a smile as he presented the blue crystals to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou glanced at the blue crystals and nodded before he casually waved his hand. The three blue crystals flew into his hand immediately.

“Ding!”

“Second avatar: collect all blue crystals (7/9).”

Subsequently, Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Bring your Birth Palace out…”

Xiao Yunhe swiftly brought out his lotus.

Lu Zhou did not waste words and sent a blue lotus out and used the supreme mystic power to repair Xiao Yunhe’s Birth Palace.

Xiao Yunhe felt the strong vitality energy, and he could see the damaged part of his Birth Palace slowly being repaired. Although the recovery speed was much slower than the first time, he was still impressed and excited.

After about fifteen minutes, the treatment finally ended.

Lu Zhou looked at the Birth Palace; there were still two damaged zones. He said, “After resting for a while, you can recover another Birth Chart, but it’ll take a lot of hard work.”

“I’m very satisfied that I can recover another Birth Chart; I don’t dare to ask for more,” Xiao Yunhe said excitedly as he bowed.

Lu Zhou asked, “Xia Zhengrong has agreed to fight you in a month. Are you confident?”

What Lu Zhou meant to say was Xiao Yunhe should delay the fight. Xiao Yunhe should wait until he recovered his 11th Birth Chart; at that time, it would not be a problem for him to defeat Xia Zhengrong.

Xiao Yunhe said, “Brother Lu, don’t worry. After all, I trained him. If I didn’t fall for his tricks, he wouldn’t have been my match. Moreover, he only has 10 Birth Charts now.”

“Aren’t you afraid he’ll trick you again?” Lu Zhou did not know much about Xia Zhengrong. However, based on their few encounters, he knew Xia Zhengrong was very cautious. After all, Xia Zhengrong was someone who rather hid behind the relative safety of the Dao inscriptions than leave the Black Tower Council.

Xiao Yunhe said, “I won’t make the same mistake twice.”

“Since you gave me the blue crystals, you can ask me for a favor. This includes Xia Zhengrong’s life…” Lu Zhou said indifferently.

This was the tone of a bigshot. Even the Tower Master of the Black Tower Council was nothing.

Xiao Yunhe said, “We have enmity between us. If I ask Brother Lu to kill him, it’ll be difficult for me to kill the demons in my heart.”

“Alright.”

At this time, Little Yuan’er’s voice rang from outside.

“Master, Fourth Senior Brother Is back!”

“Let him in.”

Soon after, Little Yuan’er supported a limping Mingshi Yin into the hall.

Mingshi Yin wore a pained expression on his face as he kneeled and said, “Greetings, master. I’m lucky I managed to bring the blue crystals back and didn’t disappoint you…”

Lu Zhou ignored Mingshi Yin’s theatrics and extended his hand. “Blue crystals.”

Ming Shiyin respectfully brought the blue crystals out.

Upon seeing this, Little Yuan’er said, “Let me help you!”

As Little Yuan’er handed the blue crystals to Lu Zhou, she said, “Master, Fourth Senior Brother really went through many hardships. He was chased by many experts and suffered a lot of injuries…”

Mingshi Yin forced a smile on his face and waved his hand. “My injuries aren’t worth mentioning. This is my duty after all. I definitely don’t dare to ask for a reward.”

“Did I mention a reward?” Lu Zhou asked.

“I didn’t mean that. I was just doing my job,” Mingshi Yin hastily said.

“How are your injuries?” Lu Zhou asked.

“They’re just minor injuries… I feel like I can still go out and kill some fierce beasts. Don’t worry, master,” Mingshi Yin said.

Lu Zhou nodded. “Since that’s the case, there are still some remaining fierce beasts outside of the capital. Go and deal with them.”

“Ah?”

“Do you have any objection?”

“N-no, no, I-I will go immediately,” Mingshi Yin said before he left the Preservation Hall with an aggrieved expression on his face.

When Little Yuan’er caught up to Mingshi Yin outside of the hall, she asked, “Fourth Senior Brother, you’re not limping anymore?”

“Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!”

…

“Ding!”

“Second avatar: collect all the blue crystals (9/9).”

“Ding! Mission completed.”
