Cultivation through Skin Making

Fire Worship Demon Sect...

Underground Secret Realm.

In the wilderness, Mu Lieyang's usually kind and gentle face flickered uncertainly, one side in darkness, the other illuminated intensely by the blood-red flames. His high nose was outlined by the firelight, casting a shadow at the corner of his mouth, giving him a bizarre and ferocious look.

His eyes eerily watched the flames burning the bones, and after a moment, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate the "Ghost Infant Scripture".

Suddenly, as if recalling something pleasant, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, but soon he calmed down.

That pleasant thought was nothing special.

It was just that last year, by relying on the incomplete "Ghost Infant Scripture", he deceived that second ancestor of the Formless Ancient Race out of a lot of Ancient Race Contribution Points, and then exchanged some of them, along with his own savings, for some important rare materials to strengthen the array before him.

Separation Fire Gathering Array!!

With the sacrifice of a powerful cultivator as the core, it extracts the life force of the entire Sect and even the people as a price, to help him take the final step — transforming the Ghost Infant into a Divine Infant.

This step is one that has been pursued by successive Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Demon Sect, either by training powerful disciples to throw into the fire or by being backstabbed by disciples who throw the master into the fire instead.

In short, either you become nourishment, or I become nourishment.

The struggle has never stopped.

Yet it must be done.

Because only a cultivator who has practiced the "Ghost Infant Scripture" can undertake the core of the Separation Fire Gathering Array.

But even so, the time never seemed right, because the fire wasn't strong enough! Thus, through twists and turns, it eventually fell into Mu Lieyang's hands.

At this moment, as the "Ghost Infant Scripture" circulated, Mu Lieyang felt strands of blood-red flames twitching from the air, crawling through his body, and slowly spreading through his flesh and even to his divine soul.

An indescribable sense of excitement emerged from his body and mind.

To this, Mu Lieyang had once been puzzled, wondering if this excitement came from "burning life" or from "extracting life," but after repeated studies, he believed it was the latter.

Others burn life, this array gathers life, while he sits at the array core, extracting these lives to refine the Ghost Infant.

After a while, Mu Lieyang exhaled a long breath and slowly stood up, reached into the void to grab a special piece of paper, examined it repeatedly, then put it away and stepped out of this underground secret realm.

Soon, outside the hall, a beauty wrapped in a snow-white veil stepped gracefully forward, saw him, and let out a joyous cry, tiptoeing lightly into his arms, her plump soft buttocks settling familiarly into his strong thighs.

Her delicate hands gently wrapped around his neck.

"Don't let him get suspicious." Mu Lieyang spoke coldly.

Wang Susu pouted pitifully, saying, "It's just that I miss the Sect Leader, that little brat doesn't have a man's charm at all, he can't compare to even a hair of the Sect Leader."

Mu Lieyang asked, "Did he ask for anything again?"

Wang Susu replied, "Just something about fire, he wanted some and said he was interested in it."

Mu Lieyang snorted coldly, "Seems he's not completely a second ancestor, has some sharpness, give him some time to grow, he might have potential in the future."

Wang Susu giggled, "He can't compare to you, Sect Leader."

Mu Lieyang said, "Let's talk business."

Wang Susu said, "I followed your instructions, it took some effort to turn him around, otherwise he'd really start practicing the 'Fire Observation Technique'."

Mu Lieyang said, "He's a second ancestor here to deliver Contribution Points, a mud Bodhisattva to help me hold the Sect, but he can't be allowed to really practice the 'Ghost Infant Scripture'. If something goes wrong, won't those old monsters from the Formless Ancient Race come looking for trouble with me?

Susu, you managed to seduce him onto the bed, that's a great achievement. With your skills, you can surely make him enchanted with you.

Find some opportunities to apply your tricks, sell him more of our Sect's techniques, and get him to spend more Contribution Points. I have great use for them.

Meanwhile, keep an eye on Princess Xi's movements, if there's anything special, remember to report to me."

"Yes, Sect Leader," Wang Susu responded flirtatiously, then asked, "When will the Purple Mansion opportunity you promised me be fulfilled?"

Mu Lieyang said, "Soon, don't rush."

Wang Susu nodded, then with a swing of her hips, she slid off him, swaying her waist, and sashayed out the door.

Mu Lieyang's eyes fixed on those swaying hips, a nameless evil intent rising in his heart.

This woman is indeed a top-notch seductress on the bed, perfect to beguile that naive kid.

Get that naive kid to cough up Contribution Points, meanwhile... with him in the Snow Country, no matter what I do, he's bound to me, if trouble comes we face it together, heh...

Mu Lieyang started to chuckle sinisterly.

The blood-red flames burned in the side lamps, consuming already tattered paper puppets, and even some fine bone fragments, indistinguishable as to whether they were human or beast digits. Following the principle of waste utilization, Mu Lieyang needed to use up all their remaining power in a sacrifice.

While contemplating this, suddenly, a heavy breath came from outside the hall, footsteps thundered, and the ground trembled.

Mu Lieyang frowned slightly, then changed to a friendly smile and hurried outside the hall.

He saw Princess Xi standing at the doorway.

Mu Lieyang cupped his hands and smiled, "What wind blew you here today?"

Princess Xi said in a muffled voice, "I come to bid farewell on behalf of the master."

"Farewell?"

Mu Lieyang was stunned as if struck by lightning, and after a moment he said, "Have I been an unsatisfactory host? You've only stayed for a little over a year, why so soon..."

Princess Xi said in a muffled voice, "The master said he's tired of staying, wants to change places."
