Peerless Taoist

Someone made a sound as his throat rolled.    

However, none of the people present paid any attention to it. Their eyes were fixed on the wooden box in Lu Yu's hand.    

A strong medicinal fragrance spread out. Just by smelling it, one could feel that his cultivation level had improved a little.    

"These are all for us?" A cultivator said with a trembling voice.    

Lu Yu looked at them and said in a deep voice, "I can give these to you, but if you want to take them... Then make a mental demon oath and become a guest elder of my Lu Family. I won't make things difficult for you. I'll give you twenty years. After twenty years, if you want to stay, do as you wish."    

Twenty years might be a long time for ordinary people.    

But for these cultivators, twenty years was just a short period of time. Many people went into seclusion for decades.    

While everyone was sighing with emotion over those medicine, they also secretly cursed Lu Yu for being cunning.    

The cultivation world was full of mutual deception, but the heart demon oath was a taboo for all cultivators.    

Anyone who swore the heart demon oath would be disturbed by the heart demon if they broke the oath. From then on, the cultivation level would retreat step by step, falling into a bottomless abyss. The worst case scenario would be that the heart demon would attack the soul, turning them into a fool.    

Generally speaking, cultivators wouldn't easily form a heart demon oath.    

However, looking at the medicine in front of them, many people did not plan to give up.    

Now, the War God's Sect was gone. If they left, they could join other sects, but most of them would become rogue cultivators.    

Without the protection of the sects, the lives of these cultivators would be like treading on thin ice.    

"Isn't it just protecting a mortal family? I'm here to make an oath with my heart demon. If I break it, I'll devour my heart with ten thousand demons, and I'll die a horrible death!" One of the cultivators said in a loud voice.    

Then, he strode to Lu Yu and took a box of medicine.    

The box of medicine was the same as the one in Xue Rong's hand. Both of them could prolong one's life.    

When the other cultivators saw this, they scolded that person for being cunning. They also swore an oath to their inner demons.    

Streaks of flowing light gathered around Lu Yu's body. Lu Yu smiled faintly and kept the flowing light into his sleeve.    

Xue Rong was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Lu Yu with a trace of respect.    

Not everyone could make a heart demon oath with over a hundred people at the same time.    

Normally, after making an oath, a portion of the soul would be ripped off and used to feed the heart demons.    

However, this young man in front of him had formed over a hundred inner demon oaths, and yet his expression remained unchanged. Xue Rong couldn't help but start guessing Lu Yu's background.    

"Aren't we eating these things a lot?"    

"That's right. I heard that many of the inner residence's maidservants were rewarded handsomely as well."    

The guards standing at the entrance were originally in awe of these Immortals, but it didn't take long for them to understand what was going on.    

It turned out that these Immortals had come to beg their Young Master.    

Some of the cultivators had extremely sharp hearing, and upon hearing the words of the guards, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood.    

What? These medicines were given to the maidservants?    

"If you do well, there will be even better medicine for you in the future." Lu Yu turned his head and glanced at Xue Rong, "Choose the sect master as soon as possible. I will keep you guys useful."    

"Yes, Young Patriarch!" Xue Rong's tone had changed.    

They were all guest chamberlains of this mortal family.    

"It's only twenty years. After these twenty years, the War God's Sect will rise again!" Xue Rong muttered.    

...    

Lu Yu didn't care what Xue Rong was thinking at all.    

What he needed was enough protection from his family after he left.    

"Zhong Bo, have you settled the matter of the land outside Longjing City?" Lu Yu asked.    

Zhong Bo, who was following beside him, hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master. No one lives around that mountain. It was originally a barren mountain. Besides, the Emperor has already given the decree that this piece of land belongs to us, the Lu Family."
