Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect
Chapter 358 - 262: Like Waves, Like Tides

Chapter 358: Chapter 262: Like Waves, Like Tides

Xing Yuanzhi is a female disciple of the Qingtang Sect on Wangwu Mountain, and she once had an encounter with the Sword Sect disciple Liu Xiaoliu (Tie); they had cultivated together twice.

She was originally ordered by her sect to infiltrate the Snow Mountain Palace to thwart the demons’ unsealing plot. Later, she accidentally entered Mr. He Lin’s great formation, got involved in the Lanling incident, and barely escaped alive. She thought her misfortunes were over and her merits sufficient to enter the Inner Sect, planning to return to the mountain to focus on forming her Nascent Soul without external disturbances. However, a calamity struck the Mystic Sect again.

Xing Yuanzhi’s previous calamity had passed, but because she had worked undercover for so many years, she was familiar with the geographical features of the Kan State and Northern Land. Thus, the Qingtang Sect Master assigned her the position of an Inner Sect Disciple to lead the way out of the mountain with the Mystic Sect Disciples and earn great merit.

If she could open the Snow Mountain Palace’s ancestral tomb treasury in the chaos, not to mention the sect’s rewards of heavenly materials and treasures, she would even get a share of the secret manual for divinity transformation. Upon successfully forming her Nascent Soul, she would at least hold a managerial position in the sect. Even if she were to die and reincarnate, she could be directly taken as a disciple under the Sect Leader.

Therefore, Xu Yuanzhi decided on the spur of the moment, gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and joined the formation...

"Beyond one’s capabilities, greedy and insatiable, leading to the path of self-destruction."

Tie Dan boiled his own change of robe with Daoist energy, tore it into strips, and bandaged her while listening, wrapping Xing Yuanzhi up like a mummy. After listening, he coldly commented.

Yuanzhi protested,

"How could I disobey the orders of my sect? If I don’t give face to the Sect Leader, how can I continue on the mountain? Who knows how many shoes they’ll make me wear in the future!"

"Do you even have a future?"

Tie Dan poked at her cooked flesh, with blood and oil seeping everywhere.

"Having such awareness yet still shouting for me to save you; why not just directly undergo soldier disintegration."

Xing Yuanzhi hissed in pain,

"Senior Brother, you don’t need to worry, this sword is specifically for you to come.

Actually, I was just locked by the Immortal Binding Rope and had difficulty in Qi Manipulation. Being cooked for ten days, my Dao Body scattered. I intended to guard my heart using the secret techniques passed down in the Inner Sect, preparing for reincarnation through soldier disintegration. Who knew... who knew a thread of hope suddenly appeared, causing me to lose control, and my Daoist Heart crumbled...

In my current state, if I reincarnate, my Divine Soul will likely scatter. I lack a treasure to collect and protect my soul, to molt and rebirth. Therefore, I must trouble you, Senior Brother, to protect me for three to five days, allowing me to gather my mind, reform my Daoist Heart, and prepare for soldier disintegration again."

"Oh, then take your time preparing."

Tie Dan got up to leave.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Where are you going! Don’t leave me!"

Yuanzhi indeed had her Daoist Heart somewhat shattered, startled and scared witless.

"Going out to mop up and collect the bodies."

Tie Dan glanced coldly at her, then at the cauldron,

"Besides, the soup base is boiling, time to add some ingredients."

Yuanzhi gaped in shock,

"You, you, you’re not thinking of eating..."

"In a while you’ll die, I still need to eat dinner."

Yuanzhi felt a wave of nausea,

"But there’s... how can one eat..."

Tie Dan’s eyes flashed with green light, looking down at his junior sister who no longer looked human,

"In a place like this, at a time like this, how can you survive without eating meat? To live, you must kill, and to survive, you must eat.

If you want to dissolve your soldier form, decide quickly. But if you want to live like the demons, you must live like them.

Eat whatever there is, find any way to survive before mentioning anything else."

"Eat... kill... survive..."

Xing Yuanzhi found herself lost in confusion.

Tie Dan ignored her, went out to search, cutting and beheading the demons, separating bones and meat. Those filled with Spiritual Qi, juicy innards, hearts, livers, brains, tendons, lion heads, and rabbit feet, were all brought back to the pot to be cooked, fanning the summoned sparrow to control the Dao Fire, driving out the Demon Qi.

As for the shattered, stinky, and dirty hard shells and thick flesh that were hard to swallow, they were given to the ear mouse to be taken back to the gourd as fertilizer.

Oh, I forgot to mention earlier, because Xuantian was protecting in the Xingxuan Formation, idle with nothing to do, flipping through every book, casually modified the alchemy array, placing the Nascent Soul gourd in the formation to be refined by the formation’s Spiritual Qi, and it was finally successfully repaired, with the Artifact Spirit revived! It turned out to be quite capable, able to do everything...

In this way, after cleaning up the Demon Nest, inspecting each corpse, Tie Dan confirmed. The fox wasn’t seen...

Hey? The tricky thing still lives, huh? No way! I’m really at odds with you, have to kill! After eating, continue pursuing!

Thus, Tie Dan carried the pots and bowls he found back to the camp, scooped a bowl of mixed demon soup, tasted a mouthful, smacking his lips...

Hmm, alright, at least it’s edible, though not as tender as fresh bone and meat, having hot pot stew in the heavy snow is quite warming.

However, this cauldron seems like a treasure as well, not only isolating divine sense detection, but also resistant to Green Evil Dao Fire roasting. If it could be carried around and used for hot pot occasionally, that would be great. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to fit in a Storage Jade, so it’ll have to do.

Tie Dan slurped down three bowls on his own, and then looked at Xing Yuanzhi who was staring at him.

"Want a share?"

Xing Yuanzhi hesitated for a while.

"I can’t swallow it."

Tie Dan glared at her and ignored her.

"No, it’s not that, I mean..."

Xing Yuanzhi opened her mouth,

"I’m too injured, my throat is torn, I can only use Inner Strength to transmit sound, even if I want to eat, I can’t swallow."

Tie Dan looked at her, then brought the bowl over, took a sip himself, chewed it, and fed the meat juice to her mouth to mouth.

"You, you, you!"

Yuanzhi suddenly lost her composure.
