Immortal Cultivation: I Am A Human Being, Not The Human Clan!

Chapter 29: Human Relationships and Karma (Seeking to continue reading, bookmarking, recommending, and investing. Thank you.)

"Junior brother, there's no need to be polite. We are all brothers from the same sect. We are the direct disciples of our esteemed ancestor, not like those outer sect disciples," said Second Senior Brother Nie Yingji.

This matter was just done casually. If one wants to refine high-quality corpse puppets, they need high-quality special corpses.

Several years ago, I obtained two Apex Level corpse materials. One of them was to be refined into a Blood Corpse Puppet, while the other happened to be suitable for my junior brother to refine into a Poison Corpse Puppet.

Judging from our master's current behavior, it seems like the eldest brother doesn't have much chance. The master probably hopes that the fourth junior brother will inherit the future Blood Shadow Sect and become the new Blood Shadow Ancestor.

So, at this time, I can go and invest in some flattery.

"Junior brother, you can't just take things from your second senior brother for nothing. After I have achieved a certain level of cultivation in the future, I will help you with something, as brothers should keep accounts clear. Consider it as you owing your senior brother a favor," Zhou Tianfeng spoke up.

To be so kind to me at our first meeting, Zhou Tianfeng had a very good impression of this second senior brother.

It wouldn't be good to not show any gratitude, but I am currently penniless, so I owe him a favor. I will help him with something in the future.

However, what Zhou Tianfeng didn't expect was that both the Blood Shadow Ancestor and his second senior brother's expressions changed upon hearing his words.

"Good disciple, you have just entered the cultivation world, so you may not know about the concept of karmic relationships in Daoism and what it means for cultivators. It's not a big deal for you now, as your cultivation level is still low.

Moreover, your second senior brother is a disciple within the sect. Since you have made this karmic relationship with your second senior brother, I can't say much as your master. However, you must never easily make karmic relationships with outsiders. Do you understand? Karmic relationships are not a joke," the Blood Shadow Ancestor placed his hand on Zhou Tianfeng's shoulder and said with a serious expression.

Karma! Relationships! These are the most difficult things to deal with in the cultivation world, so it's better to avoid owing them if possible.

Once you owe someone a karmic relationship, if you can't repay it, it will cause significant problems for your future cultivation.

And if the person you owe makes an unreasonable request, you must fulfill it. If you can't complete it, you might turn to ashes during the heavenly tribulation in the future.

That's why cultivators are reluctant to make karmic relationships with others. If they do, they must fulfill them.

Even if the other person is a mortal who has naturally passed away a hundred years later, this karmic relationship will not disappear. Instead, it will become even greater. At that time, you will need to find their descendants.

Then, you must fulfill one wish of their descendants. Generally speaking, these mortal descendants will beg you to take them as disciples and enter the cultivation world. Of course, if their cultivation ultimately fails, they may require you to grant them wealth and prosperity in the mortal realm to settle this karmic relationship.

This is relatively simple.

If the person you owe is also a cultivator like you, then things become more complicated. It's best to pray that they don't ask you to do something you absolutely can't accomplish, or this karmic relationship will become increasingly burdensome.

In the future, it may even lead to the emergence of inner demons.

"Young junior brother, you have just stepped into the cultivation world, so you may not know what karmic relationships are. In the future, you must never easily make promises to others.

If you want to repay me in the future, find a high-quality corpse material and give it to me. Let me refine a powerful corpse puppet. That way, we can consider this karmic relationship settled," Second Senior Brother said.

As a practitioner, he naturally knows what karmic cause and effect is. It's best not to owe such a thing if possible.

So, for the sake of this junior brother, he directly told him to find a good corpse in the future.

Once karmic cause and effect is established, there will be a kind of resonance in the netherworld, and it cannot be undone.

Sometimes, you fight for rice and bear a grudge for rice! It's better to settle this matter early.

"Master, senior brother, is there any great harm in karmic cause and effect?" Zhou Tianfeng asked.

Damn it! On Earth, if you owe someone a favor, as long as you repay it later, or if you're shameless enough, just don't repay it, no one will do anything to you. But in the cultivation world, it seems that it's not that simple! It's very serious.

"Let me tell you now, if you owe someone a favor, you must repay it, even if the other person dies, you must repay it to their descendants if you can't repay it in person. In the future, when you reach a high level of cultivation and face the heavenly tribulation, you will inevitably turn to ashes. You have an excellent aptitude as a Transforming Poison Spirit Body, and you will definitely become an immortal and a progenitor in the future. You must never easily promise karmic cause and effect to others." Blood Shadow Ancestor patiently explained to Zhou Tianfeng how taboo karmic cause and effect is in the cultivation world.

"Is it that serious? Senior brother, junior brother understands. In the future, when I achieve success in cultivation, I will definitely find a good corpse for you." Zhou Tianfeng said with fear.

"Fortunately, it's you, second senior brother. If it were someone else, you would be in big trouble. Remember, when you go out in the future, you must be cautious about karmic cause and effect. If someone has shown kindness to you, you can repay them generously, but you must never owe them karmic cause and effect." Blood Shadow Ancestor said.

"Thank you, Master. Senior brother, I will remember. In the future, I will not owe anyone any karmic cause and effect." Zhou Tianfeng said.

Damn, I didn't expect there would be such taboos in the cultivation world. I must be more careful in the future.

"Just remember it. Let's go! Let your second senior brother show you around again." Blood Shadow Ancestor said.

Zhou Tianfeng nodded and followed his second senior brother to continue the tour.

Afterwards, his second senior brother showed Zhou Tianfeng several newly refined low-level corpse puppets, as well as some key points and tricks for refining corpse puppets, and rare materials.

However, Zhou Tianfeng didn't pay much attention to these things. He was still thinking about how to repay karmic cause and effect.

"Junior brother, if you encounter someone with a strong physical cultivation in the future, you can kill them and bring their corpse back. Or if you encounter ordinary people born in an inauspicious month or on an inauspicious day, you can bring their corpses back. Their corpses are considered excellent materials. Just bringing them back will settle the karmic cause and effect. You don't have to worry too much." It seemed that Zhou Tianfeng was absent-minded, and his second senior brother Nie Yingji spoke up.

"Yes, second senior brother, I understand." Zhou Tianfeng nodded and said.

He had already secretly remembered this. In the future, when his cultivation reached a certain level and he went out, he must help his second senior brother obtain an excellent material to settle the karmic cause and effect.

After a while, Nie Yingji led Zhou Tianfeng and Blood Shadow Ancestor to a secret room.

In this secret room, there were two corpses. One of them was surrounded by various altars and Law Weapons, wrapped in layers of black cloth with complex runes drawn on them.

The other one was wrapped in blood-red bandages from head to toe, with various runes drawn on them. It was immersed in a huge blood pool, and countless visible red demonic qi kept pouring into it. This should be the blood corpse puppet that his senior brother wanted to refine, right?
