Refinement—Part Four
Lan wangJi did not look at Wei WuXian He nodded to indicate respect and spoke in a monotonous voice, ”First, liberate; second, suppress; third, eliratitude of his relatives and grant his dying wish, set free what he could not let go of If it fails, suppress it If the criy of resentment does not dissipate, exterminate it completely The cultivation world should precisely keep to this order of measures No errors should be allowed”
Everyone let out a long breath, thanking the Heavens because Lan wangJi was the one the old man selected Else, if it was their turn, it would be hard to not overlook a few steps or mix up the order Lan QiRen nodded with satisfaction, ”Not a single ain, ”No matter in terms of cultivation or as a person, one needs to be as solid as this If one becomes complacent and proud just because they defeated a few sis in their ho disgrace upon themselves, sooner or later”
Wei WuXian raised his brows and took a look at the side of Lan wangJi's face He thought, so, apparently this old man meant it for me He called his best pupil to listen with us in order for me to watch
He spoke, ”I have a question”
Lan QiRen replied, ”Speak”
Wei WuXian, ”Although 'liberation' co wish' sounds si, but what if the as to kill lots of people for revenge?”
Lan wangJi, ”Thus, suppression assists liberation If it is necessary, elimination would also follow”
Wei WuXian smiled, ”Such a waste” He paused, and continued, ”It wasn't that I didn't know of this answer, I was only thinking of a fourth path”
Lan QiRen spoke, ”I have never heard of any fourth paths”
Wei WuXian spoke, ”Because the executioner died in such a way, it is only natural that he turned into a ferocious corpse Since he executedup the graves of these people, arouse their energy of resentment, collect the heads of those hundred people, and use theht with the ferocious corpse…”
Lan wangJi finally turned around to look at him His broere knit, still expressionless Lan QiRen was so angered that his goatee was quivering He shouted, ”How dare you!”
Everyone in the roo to his feet, ”The essence of exorcising dehosts is to liberate! You do not study thetheir energy of resentnore ethics and morality!”
Wei WuXian replied, ”There are sos that have no use after liberation, so why not find a way to make use of them? When Yu the Great tamed the flood, obstruction was the inferior method, and redirection was the superior Suppression is the same as obstruction, so isn't it inferior…” Lan QiRen hurled a book toward him, but he flinched to the side and avoided it His expression reed, and continued to talk nonsense, ”Spiritual energy is energy; resentful energy is energy as well Spiritual energy is stored in the dantian It can split mountains and fill oceans, available for huy also be used by humans?”
Another book ca froain! How do you y only listens to you and does not harm others?”
Wei WuXian ducked while speaking, ”I haven't thought of it yet!”
Lan QiRen raged, ”If you thought of it, the cultivation world would not allow your existence! Get out!”
Wei WuXian couldn't be lad, and quickly went out
He wandered about the Cloud Recesses for the rasses After everyone finished the lesson, they finally found hirey tiles of the ledge, holding a piece of grass in his ht hand was under his cheek, and sat with one leg propped up and the other hanging doaying slightly The disciples down there pointed at hiet out, and you really went outside! Hahahaha…”
”After you went out, a long while passed before he finally understood what happened His face was so purple!”
Wei WuXian chewed on the grass and shouted toward below hiet out What else does he want me to do?”
Nie HuaiSang spoke, ”Why does it seem like old man Lan is especially strict towards you? He always directs his scoldings at you”
Jiang Cheng huht What sort of answer is that? It's fine if he spouts these nonsense at home, but he dared to say these in front of Lan QiRen He's seeking his own death!”
Wei WuXian spoke, ”No ht as well just say what I wanted to say Anyways, I didn't try to offend hi properly”
After thinking for a fewappeared on Nie HuaiSang's face, ”To be honest, Wei-xiong's words were quite interesting Spiritual energy can only be obtained through cultivation and taking great pains to forolden core It would take I-don't-kno-many years to do, especially for so when I was in hosts If they can easily be taken and used, it would be beyond wonderful”
A golden core was a core formed by cultivators after they had cultivated to a certain point It can store and control spiritual energy After the core was formed, the cultivator's level of cultivation would increase at a rapid speed, and become better and better Else, they would only be a low-end cultivator If disciple froe, it would be a disgrace to tell other people of it, yet Nie HuaiSang didn't feel ashaht? No har it”
Jiang Cheng warned, ”That's enough It's fine if you talk about it, but don't actually walk such a crooked path”
Wei WuXian smiled, ”Why would I leave the nice, broad road, and walk on a single-plank bridge on a dark, narrow river instead? If it really is that easy, people would have already walked on it Don't worry, he was just asking, and I was just answering Hey, are you guys co? Since it's not curfew yet, hunt for pheasants with me”
Jiang Cheng scolded, ”What do you mean 'hunt for pheasants'? Why would there be pheasants here?! First, go copy Righteousness Lan QiRen asked hteousness for three times, so that you can learn what natural law and morality is”
Righteousness was the collection of the Lan Sect's sect rules The sect rules here was too long, so Lan QiRen revised them into a thick collection The sections Virtue and Conduct were four fifth of the whole book Wei WuXian spat out the grass which he held in his mouth and dusted his boots, ”Three times? I'd fly up to Heaven if I just copied them once I'm not from the Lan Sect, and don't intend to marry into the Lan Clan, so why should I copy the sect rules of his sect? I'onna copy”
Nie HuaiSang quickly spoke, ”I'll copy for you! I'll copy for you!”
Wei WuXian, ”No good person does favours for others out of the blue Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Nie Huai Sang replied, ”It's like this Wei-xiong, old man Lan has a bad habit He…”
