An Ying wasn't surprised when she heard that they were dead, but she still kept a surprised look on her face while looking at the law enforcer.
" Do you have any idea about who could do that ? "
" We are still investigating the matter, for now we suspect a handyman that was secretly a part of a demonic sect." The law enforcer responded while putting his tool in a storage ring.
" I see. How does the sect plan to deal with all of them ? "
" For now, a search and inspection will be ongoing for all the handyman, we ask that you will be understanding. After all, it's the sect master's order. " He responded while keeping a polite tone.
An Ying put on a thoughtful face for some seconds before she nodded to him while having a small smile on her face.
" I will follow the order but don't make things difficult for my followers, if there is a problem informe me first then I will help you handle it. "
" I wish you a happy time in your cultivation lady An Ying. " He nodded in respect and moved out of her abode.
An Ying know that a lot of her followers don't have their hands clean. She isn't a holy maiden, and for a part of them, they set themselves on fire in order to have resources.
That's why An Ying planned to just delay her cultivation progress, although killing them both may look like the safest method, it's in fact the the dumbest method.
As a sect, it will need the master to sit in and control it. That's how resources can be guaranteed to reach you. If a sect master is dead and no one is strong enough to hold it and defend it against the outside eyes, then the only ending for the sect is destruction.
Now, her followers have taken a lot of benefits from her in exchange for their loyalty. But the benefits that they received are the benefits that the sect master can give, so it doesn't change the fact that they can jump a ship.
Her situation isn't that bad. First, she is, in book, the adopted daughter of the sect master. Second, she is a genius who is respected by all of the members of the sect. Third, she has her own circle of people. Some are in a higher realm than her, but her relationship with them is good.
As for the plan of the sect master, from the death of those guys, I will say that only the sect master himself and his son made such a plan.
So, in theory, if something were to happen to his son making him a cripple, will he still try to make me a furnace.
It may not look like it, but a Nascent Soul realm has only the life span of a thousand years, and the sect master himself is quite old.
An Ying stopped her thoughts on how to make Lu Fan a cripple and moved toward the library.
A place that has all kinds of books, from the fire sect cultivation techniques to several spells, from body techniques to martial techniques.
Reaching the gate of the library, she stepped inside and found an elderly man with wrinkles in his face sleeping in his chair.
An Ying walked toward him and stopped in front of his desk before she bowed toward him. " Junior An Ying greets elder Lin. "
Suddenly, the elder opened his eyes and saw her bowing toward him, then answered with small laughter.
" Hahaha, if it's not ower little lady An Ying, how can I help you today. "
" Elder Lin, I am looking for a body technique and a palm or fist technique to make up for my weakness. " An Ying answered with a small smile on her face.
" - Sigh -, always direct in your words, aren't you, but a technique to mend your weaknesses, it's good that you only seek to mend your weaknesses and not walk another path, go to the body section, you should find which technique you want. " Said the Elder Lin before closing his eyes and returning to sleep.
" Thank you for your guidance, elder Lin ", An Ying made her way toward the body section after one last bow.
She quickly began looking at all the body cultivation techniques, several are quite common around like the tiger body forging technique and the seven bulls body tempering technique, but her eyes were drawn towards an uncommon body building technique, the white jade body tempering technique, it's a technique that mainly temper the skin and make it white and tender while making invulnerable to all kinds of weapons.
The problem with that is that the material that will be used, mainly the white lotus, is quite pricey. Fortunately, she is good at alchemy, and she can feed herself.
With these thoughts on her mind, An Ying picked it up and the tiger body forging method before looking around for a palm or a fist technique.
In the end, she chooses the fire palm technique and the quick palm technique to go with it.
While she packed these four books, she came across several therapeutic techniques, curious, she picked one of them to read.
' For those reading this book, know that you have found a Dimond buried in history, from the ancient time to this day, all man know the importance of moving yet none truly understand what moving is... Let the hands move like flowing rivers, awakening the dormant energy within. As the fingers dance upon the skin, envision a river of vitality coursing through every meridian. In this dance of touch, connect with the rhythm of the heartbeat, harmonizing the body's symphony. '
An Ying mouth twitched at that. Several words and paragraphs were being written in a mysterious way, yet they only talked about a simple way to optimize the blood flow.
In fact, several points were weird, although An Ying has never practiced any therapeutic technique, but she can feel that the body diagram is incomplete, ' More precisely in the torso and back of the neck. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't fit. If I use my inner meditation technique, I can see it... I can see it !! ' She was surprised with her discovery, but she had other things to worry about. Suddenly, an idea made it to her mind.
So, she began to look and read all the therapeutic techniques and books.
Some time later, Elder Lin found her coming back with ten books. He was quite puzzled till he read all the titles and temporarily understood what kind of books she picked.
In the world of cultivation, these therapeutic techniques are always looked down on and seen as a light read they don't even count as techniques.
Some minutes later, An Ying found herself in her room with ten books. She decided to begin with the white jade body tempering technique, then the tiger body forging technique.
' As for the others, they will come later, but first, I need several materials to make the pill for these techniques. ' She thought while making an estimate on how much material she will need.
At that time she heard a knock on the door, when she got up she found her handyman Su Ling, she was a small sized girl, reaching the 8 level of the qi gathering stage.
" Lady An Ying, my own investigation was finished, and I was free to go. Allow me to serve you in all of your needs and wants." She finished her words with a small bow.
" Good, go to the alchemy hall and bring me all these materials, here is the spirit stones and sell those level 2 qi gathering pills. " An Ying immediately walked back in after she gave her the errand.
" Right away lady An Ying " Replied Su Ling with respect, for her it's extremely difficult to breakthrough level 5, and she only was able to reach level 8 because of the relationship as her handyman so being ordered around wasn't a problem for her.
While Su Ling was out for her errand, An Ying had reflected upon the idea that she had in the library.
' The therapeutic techniques, can I use them to cripple a person ? ', and the answer she came up with is yes, as long as she played it right, she can indeed cripple him. For that, she needs a plan, a plan that will not trace it back to her and a plan where he will destroy himself.
An Ying chose six kinds of therapeutic techniques, and each one has a different method and information that she can use to experiment with.
By the time Su Ling was back, she had a rought plan on how her time would go for the time being.
