Harness Cultivator

After some more traveling, Lee Tao arrived back at the illusion barrier.

As soon as he entered, Lee Tao noticed Deng Lijuan was slowly waking up.

"Ungh, what happened?" Deng Lijuan clutched her head softly as she asked in a confused tone.

"You fainted like some horny woman." Lee Tao commented.

"H-Horny??!"

"Yes, you were extremely vulnerable, you know that? You're lucky that I'm a gentleman and held no nefarious intent. Otherwise, you would have lost your purity." 

Deng Lijuan's face turned bright red, almost like a tomato.

"H-How could you utter such things like that without hesitation?" Deng Lijuan stuttered.

"It's in my blood, so deal with it. You are free to leave at any time anyway." Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

Why should he act like a gentleman for a burden?

Hell, he was already being generous by modifying an amazing technique for her to cultivate.

And speaking of that, Lee Tao quickly retrieved the scroll in case he forgot about it again.

"Here you go, Deng Lijuan." Lee Tao said as he threw the scroll toward Deng Lijuan.

Deng Lijuan stumbled slightly, but she managed to catch the scroll in time.

"What is this?" She asked.

"What am I? Your mother? Just goddamn open it and read it through." 

'You don't have to act so cold toward me…' Deng Lijuan thought.

Sometime later, Deng Lijuan opened the scroll as she started scanning through it.

Soon, her eyes were wide open when she realized the scroll was a cultivation technique.

However, she doesn't know the rank nor what it does as she had no prior knowledge regarding the cultivation world.

"C-Can you kindly explain what this Severing Dao of Emotions is, Lee Tao?" Deng Lijuan asked nervously. 

"..."

Deng Lijuan knew her question might seem dumb to him, but she wanted to understand the technique fully. Otherwise, she would just be like a blind woman walking down a path without knowing what the road ahead of her is like. 

"Please Master~" Deng Lijuan pleaded.

"What the fuck?" Lee Tao was alarmed when she suddenly called him Master.

"I'm not your Master, so stop calling me that. Gives me goosebumps."

"But you are giving this scroll to me to learn. If that's not called being my Master, then I don't know what is?" Deng Lijuan said innocently.

Her expression was sincere and filled with determination as she repeatedly called him Master. At the same time, she was pointing at some particular steps in the scroll, looking for some advice from him.

"If I explain it, then you must stop calling me Master, ok?" Lee Tao asked grumpily.

He had never taken a disciple in his past life nor would he take one in his current life either. 

It was a hassle to teach a disciple since a lot of time would be wasted on them. Not to mention, who was to say that the disciple wouldn't betray him once they learned everything from him.

Thus, Lee Tao would never take a disciple in whether they begged him or offered him something in return.

Alas, Deng Lijuan seemed to ignore his pleas as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I have no one left already, and it's partially your fault. You must take responsibility." Deng Lijuan said.

"How is it my fault that you have no one left?"

"Everything was going well in the Chiyu Tavern, and I was having the best moment in life. However, as soon as you appeared, disaster struck our village, and you even captured Deng Lun to somewhere secretive that I don't know of."

Deng Lijuan continued to give out multiple reasons to justify her action, causing a huge amount of headaches for Lee Tao.

'Xiao Chu, I swear to god. I will make you suffer ten thousand times for this.' Lee Tao cursed silently.

Unwilling to listen to Deng Lijuan's words further, Lee Tao hurriedly pointed at the particular lines that she was struggling with.

"This part here says that one must remain tranquil at all times. Meaning, your mindset must be calm and not be distracted by anything." Lee Tao explained.

"But how can I be tranquil at all times? I was frightened by the fighting you had done before. Not to mention, I almost vomited the food I ate when I saw the bloody scene." Deng Lijuan's face turned pale as she recalled the pile of corpses back in the Pan Village.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao wrinkled his brow as he believed himself to be talking to a block of wood.

Hadn't she read the first part of the scroll before scanning ahead?

"Did you really read the entire thing, Deng Lijuan?" Lee Tao asked.

Deng Lijuan nodded her head.

"Yes, I've read through everything." Deng Lijuan said with assurance.

"But I don't understand a single word or concept written in it, so I hope you don't mind." 

Lee Tao's face turned grim as he was on the verge of seriously killing Deng Lijuan.

Alas, there was nothing he could do now since it would ruin his entire effort in trying to use Deng Lijuan to obtain the Dan Clan's wealth.

'My most frustrating assignment yet…' Lee Tao cursed inwardly.

Sometime later, Lee Tao sat down next to the campfire as he began reciting the cultivation techniques step by step.

Of course, Deng Lijuan would constantly stop him and ask questions.

And despite Lee Tao's complaint and reluctance, he still answered her calmly with a detailed explanation of each step.

After all, he cannot afford her to experience a cultivation deviation because of failing to understand some concepts.

"This is a unique technique that only I have because of my modification. With these modifications, and following the steps I just explained. You can easily manipulate your mind to shut off the emotions you do not want to have at the moment to maximize your power."

"I see… but how do I start cultivating the profound qi? I have never cultivated before." Deng Lijuan asked timidly.

Lee Tao sighed softly. 

'This is going to be a long night…' he thought.
