Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1179 - 608: Extraordinary Wisdom, I Command You to See Through Everything!

To be honest, after entering this door curtain, surrounded by that thick scent of rouge, Duan Yun had an impulse to transform into the Divine Catcher and shut this place down.

Of course, he knew that the Goddess Catcher doesn't have such duties.

In this world, everything besides the Heroic Land, including eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling are legitimate affairs, and wouldn't be scrutinized.

However, even in whoring, there are varying levels of safety and danger.

This place, at first glance, is the kind that's easy to get poisoned.

Duan Yun and Ziyu followed the elder for about twenty steps before stopping.

This should be an underground building, very spacious.

Around them some Everlasting Lamps burned, though they illuminated the building's contours, the dark areas appeared even darker.

Upon reaching here, the elder was applying rouge.

The rouge was as large as a bar of soap, smeared onto the face as if it were free.

At this moment, he motioned for Duan Yun and the others to apply it as well.

Duan Yun felt it was absurd, thinking to himself, "Surely entering the Bloodthirsty Storytelling Sect doesn't require entertaining guests, right?"

He knew that previously, Red House Girls entering the sect had similar rules, upon entry, they had to 'consume' a number of men, some simply became brothel girls, simultaneously completing the entry test while earning money, and spreading poison, felling many.

But what's the relationship between storytelling and entertaining guests?

Vocal talent?

Duan Yun couldn't help but ask, "Elder, why do we need to apply this?"

The elder replied solemnly, "The ancestors relish this scent, apply it all over so they are pleased."

Duan Yun was surprised, "The ancestors can still smell this?"

The elder quickly cautioned, "Don't inquire too much about such matters."

Saying this, he couldn't help but glance into the depths of the corridor, eyes filled with reverence.

Duan Yun and the others had no choice but to apply rouge all over their bodies and proceed inside.

Because the rouge was quite red, under the dim firelight here, they looked like ghosts.

It was at this moment that Duan Yun confirmed it was a mansion.

A very large mansion.

No, he couldn't even describe it as a mansion; if the town above was a "Little Mountain City," then here it was like a "Little Mountain City" underground.

Only its layout was more mansion-like.

To be honest, such a large mansion easily makes one think of haunted houses.

Coupled with their rouge-smeared faces, it was even more reminiscent.

Duan Yun didn't know how many corridors he'd passed or how many turns he'd taken.

Finally, they came to a stop before a dwelling.

The dwelling was stone-made, very high, much like a shrine, in this eerie underground, it resembled a tomb more.

But upon arriving here, Duan Yun and the others encountered people.

The Third Sect Master Cao Wang was among them, with a fat man standing beside him.

The fat man bore a pair of little moustaches with small eyebrows, looking as if he had four brows, appearing very approachable.

At this point, the Third Sect Master Cao Wang began introducing them to Duan Yun and the rest.

It turns out this fat man with "four brows" was the second-ranking figure of the Bloodthirsty Storytelling Sect, the Second Master Wang Xiaofeng.

The name Wang Xiaofeng sounded feminine, yet the person before them wasn't feminine at all, nor did he resemble Xiaofeng, because with his weight, taking flight like a phoenix would be challenging.

This Wang Xiaofeng appeared very approachable, and his style was quite decisive.

After understanding Duan Yun and their group, he instructed them to go inside for apprenticeship.

It was indeed a shrine here.

On the long table at the front, there were three spiritual tablets, with inscriptions of gold "Tian Chenghai," "Wang Xiaofeng," "Cao Wang."

To be honest, upon seeing the names "Wang Xiaofeng" and "Cao Wang," Duan Yun felt a chill.

Because spiritual tablets are typically for the deceased.

Yet these two individuals were clearly alive, standing beside them, why were there spiritual tablets then?

And they were worshipping the spiritual tablets, not Wang Xiaofeng and Cao Wang.

Could it be that they are indeed ghosts?

And the spiritual tablets are their true forms?

Combined with their rouge-covered faces, it truly felt eerie.

"I've truly stumbled upon ghosts!" Duan Yun couldn't help but exclaimed inwardly.

The apprenticeship ceremony was very simple, just offering three sticks of incense to each tablet.

"Daring to make me offer incense."

As Duan Yun offered incense, he marked this grievance down in his mental notebook.

After offering incense, Duan Yun and their group all hesitated to speak.

Cao Wang saw this, casually remarked, "Now we're all our own people, ask anything you wish." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He directed this at Duan Yun.

It was evident he favored Duan Yun, intending to personally nurture him.

Second Master Wang Xiaofeng didn't object, which nearly sealed the deal.

Thinking directly asking about their spiritual tablets wouldn't be appropriate, Duan Yun instead detoured, asking, "Why are there only three spiritual tablets, where are the others of the ancestors?"

Cao Wang replied, "Other ancestors' tablets are in the back; only after us three pass can our tablets qualify for the back."

When discussing this, his cheeky grin vanished, as though the ancestors in the back might emerge to seize people, appearing quite sinister.

It's undeniably true, the Bloodthirsty Storytelling Sect's lair, indeed this vast underground mansion, thoroughly encapsulated that Chinese horror hyperbole.

Should Duan Yun look into a mirror now, he might be somewhat frightened himself.

The rouge-covered makeup, even his heroic features couldn't mask the eeriness.

Duan Yun even had the illusion that lingering here too long would turn one ghostly.

Afterwards, it was time for entry to "True Kung Fu".

Cao Wang said, "I'm merely a guide for "True Kung Fu" entry, only if your talents are sufficient will you undoubtedly achieve unlimited potential."
