No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Chapter 73: The Disciples of Qingyun Dao Sect Abstain From Lust

A large ball of fog filled the air.

It engulfed the three of them.

Ye Ping looked very calm.

With Su Changyu around, he wasn’t flustered at all.

He knew very well that this kind of danger was nothing because Su Changyu would save him at the critical juncture.

However, Ye Ping also knew that Su Changyu didn’t go to his aid immediately because he wanted to test and train him.

Otherwise, how could he grow if he kept pinning his hopes on others?

Besides, Ye Ping didn’t want Su Changyu to help him because that would just make him seem weak and cowardly.

The thick fog concealed everything and hid his line of vision.

Ye Ping sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at everything around him vigilantly. Holding the Green Moon Sword in his hand, he was ready to attack any time.

Roar!

In an instant, peculiar sounds filled the air. They seemed to be the roar of beasts but also sounded like the weeping of humans.

That sound made him feel somehow afraid.

It was an intimidating wave of wild shrieks and howls that interfered with the sound waves. It would cause one to be terrified, lose their will to fight, weaken their minds, and wear down their willpower.

Ye Ping had seen some relevant information about it in the sutras in the Sutra Pavilion. Hence, he immediately reacted.

“Calm down.”

Ye Ping told himself not to mess up and remain seated quietly to observe what was going on.

Humans might be afraid of ghosts, but ghosts were even more afraid of humans.

Ghost cultivators were of the Yin element while humans were enhanced with Yang energy. In the eyes of ghost cultivators, there were three balls of flames on humans, one on above the head, and two at the shoulders.

Hence, ghosts were more afraid of humans.

However, the three balls of Yang fire represented one’s mental energy. If one’s mental energy was weak, the Yang fire would cease and ghost cultivators would be able to enter.

“Those who overindulge in lust will have weak minds.”

“Those with insufficient blood and qi will be weak in energy.”

“Those whose willpower is not firm will be mentally weak.”

“So, ghosts would specifically choose those with weaker constitutions when they want to harm humans, and then create illusions and make one lose their Yang energy before brutally harming the other party.”

“If they don’t fall for it, there will be some terrifying scenes that appear, which will scare one into losing their soul. Losing the soul is the same as losing the spirit, so usually ghosts would often create such illusions.”

“On the other hand, I don’t indulge in lust, and I cultivate the Fiend Celestial body. I also read the books of Saints and my energy is at its peak.”

Ye Ping muttered. His will was continuously being strengthened and there was no need to fear.

He believed that those ghosts dared not approach him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to resort to so many tricks.

If they could strike directly, those ghost cultivators wouldn’t have to resort to so many tricks.

While thinking about it, Ye Ping’s willpower became stronger.

At this moment, dozens of ghostly shadows gathered together in the mist.

They ignored the mist and kept their eyes fixed on the three people in it.

“The array has already been activated, what should we do next?”

A voice sounded and a thin man spoke up as he looked at a middle-aged man.

“This monk is not to be trifled with. He has a Buddhist Dharma artifact on him and even if we attack jointly, we can’t kill him, so it’s better not to provoke him.”

“I’ll eat those two up. According to our usual rules, you guys will absorb the Yang energy and leave the body to me. It’s going to be the Ghost Tribulation soon, I need a physical body.”

The middle-aged man said sarcastically.

The other ghost cultivators nodded without much of an opinion.

“Lan’er, go and seduce that man in the white crane robe. He looks just like a lustful person. But don’t absorb too much. Leave some behind for everyone.”

“Yang Wen, mimic the appearance of the man in the white crane robe and lure the younger one over. They’re too near the monk. I’m scared that once we attack, that monk will ruin things for us.”

“Remember, the bewitching array formation can only last for two hours. Leave immediately after you get it. Don’t let the monk catch you, or your soul will vanish.”

The middle-aged man admonished.

He gave the orders and set up the plan.

Two figures walked out immediately.

One was a female ghost dressed in a blue dress with a chiffon layer. She was rather beautiful, but her dressing was dignified.

The other ghost transformed into Su Changyu’s appearance in a flash. Be it looks or aura, there were almost no differences.

That was the inherent talent of ghost cultivators. Due to the fact that they didn’t have a physical body, they could change drastically, but they wouldn’t last long because their main bodies were ghosts, and hence, they couldn’t stay in disguise for long. However, they could deceive the enemy for a short period of time.

The two figures disappeared in place and turned into a wisp of green smoke that floated towards Ye Ping.

At this moment, in the mist, Su Changyu was seated properly on the same spot.

He was really flustered now.

He was terrified.

He didn’t want to die there.

‘Even if I have to die, can I wait until the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet is over before I die?’

‘I finally had the chance to wear the brocade white crane robe, but if I die on the journey to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, I’d be really indignant.’

‘If I really die, I must turn into a menacing ghost and kill all the ghosts that harmed me. I may be incompetent as a human, but I doubt I’d remain incompetent as a ghost!’

Sitting on the ground, Su Changyu secretly swore in his heart.

He felt that if he died before the Sword Dao Meet, he would turn into a menacing ghost because he couldn’t take it lying down.

The greater one’s obsession, the greater the resentment. When the time came, he would very likely turn into a menacing ghost.

By then, he would kill whoever harmed him.

He would make their souls dissipate.

At the thought of this, Su Changyu somehow stopped feeling fearful and instead started thinking about what to do after taking revenge, and whether he would return to the Qingyun Dao Sect or start cultivating.

While Su Changyu was letting his imagination run wild, a coquettish and panicky voice suddenly sounded.

“Help, help.”

Although the voice was relatively loud, it seemed very tender and soft.

Su Changyu snapped back to his senses and subconsciously gripped the sword in his hand before looking in the direction of the sword.

Soon, a figure appeared in the mist in front.

It was a woman.

She was clad in a blue chiffon dress and had an excellent figure. Although she wasn’t gorgeous and couldn’t be compared to Chen Lingrou and Xiao Muxue, she was still quite attractive.

The main thing was that she was wearing a chiffon dress. If it was thinner, it would probably be see-through.

“Immortal, please save me.”

Before Su Changyu could respond, the woman in blue leaped into his arms with a panicked expression. Her body was light and she seemed to have gotten a great shock.

“Lady, please keep your distance.”

Su Changyu pushed the woman away and then stood up with an extremely serious expression.

He couldn’t keep his guard down against the woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although he felt that she was alive, he was no fool either and he was extremely wary.

The woman in blue was stunned.

She did not expect Su Changyu to push her away.

Although she was not the most beautiful, she could be considered a ravishing beauty.

Besides, she was scantily clad and most men wouldn’t bear to push her away.

She was stunned.

However, she soon returned to her senses, wiped her tears, and said pretentiously, “Immortal, I’m being too flustered, please forgive me.”

The woman in blue wiped her tears, looking pitiful. Apart from the fact that she was wearing revealing clothes, she looked no different from normal people and Su Changyu could not tell that she was a female ghost.

Su Changyu remained silent and aloof, the bewildered gaze in his eyes represented everything.

Sensing the gaze in Su Changyu’s eyes, the woman in blue hurriedly spoke up.

“Immortal, I’m the daughter of the Liu family of Jingping City. I came out for a walk with my family, and we encountered a strange wind that brought me here. I have no idea where this is, please save me, Immortal.”

As the girl in blue spoke, she inched closer and looked like she was terrified.

When she approached, she lowered her voice and spoke flirtatiously.

“Immortal, if you can save me, I will definitely serve you well.”

She suppressed her voice and her words made his imagination run wild.

However, in the next moment, Su Changyu pushed the woman in blue away impassively.

He looked calm and his actions were extremely resolute.

The woman in blue was dumbfounded.

She was a little confused. When she pulled this trick in the past, she would have already begun to absorb Yang energy at this point.

‘Why is he so cold and indifferent towards me?’

‘This seems unreasonable.’

“Immortal, are you scared of me?”

The woman in blue couldn’t help but ask with bewilderment in her eyes.

“No.”

Su Changyu answered indifferently.

“Immortal, do you not like my figure then?”

“Immortal, you may have misunderstood. I may be petite, but I can hide my skills.”

The woman in blue continued to lower her voice and provoke Su Changyu with her words before continuing to approach him.

However, before she could throw herself at him again, Su Changyu pushed her away, and this time, his eyes were filled with anger.

The woman in blue was speechless.

“Immortal, what do you dislike about me?”

The woman in blue finally behaved herself. She stopped leaning in, but she was a little angry too.

‘I took the initiative to get close to you, but you pushed me away thrice?’

‘I have my pride!’

At the same time, she couldn’t understand why Su Changyu was indifferent towards her even though she was taking the initiative.

However, at the next moment, Su Changyu finally answered coldly and arrogantly, “The disciples of Qingyun Dao Sect abstain from lust.”
