Cultivation through Skin Making novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: 48. Senior Brother

Late at night...

Shadow Puppet Peak, dungeon.

The terrified Bi Huayi faced a direct "Soul Search."

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t escape a round of torture beforehand.

But after all, this was the Dao companion of Stone Master, respect was still needed.

Stone Seat Elder stood aside, coldly watching.

Gu Tianyang withdrew his finger, raised his head, frowned, as if digesting the information he just saw, then turned his head and glanced at Stone Seat Elder, saying, "Don’t worry, I’m very measured. She’s not demented, but from now on she can’t cultivate, occasionally her mind will have some minor issues."

Stone Seat Elder said with a grim face: "That still needs to thank Gu Peak Master for your mercy."

Gu Tianyang suddenly couldn’t help laughing, laughed until the fire in the corner trembled, making the shadows of the people on the stone wall flicker and distort.

Stone Seat Elder said: "Gu Peak Master, are you still mocking this old man?"

Gu Tianyang laughed and said, "If you knew what I saw in her memory, you would wish I had killed her."

Then, he suddenly frowned, squinted towards the serious old man not far away, asked, "Do you know she wanted to poison you? And it was just in these few days."

Stone Seat Elder was stunned in place, his pupils somewhat frozen, slowly revealing sadness, then lowered his head with a self-mocking sigh, shook his head, said "I truly didn’t know," then asked: "Have you found out the cause of Feng’Er’s death?"

Gu Tianyang’s expression was profound, but he shook his head, saying: "No."

The air became silent.

Gu Tianyang waved his hand suddenly, said: "Stone Master, don’t think too much, you are getting older, you should go rest well, Sect Leader is still expecting you to cultivate a new generation of Skin Masters for the sect."

Stone Seat Elder nodded slightly, stepped forward to support Bi Huayi, said gently: "Let’s go."

Bi Huayi trembled violently, her unfocused pupils looked around in panic, her fingers flailing like a drowning person, after touching the old man’s clothes, she grabbed tightly, not letting go.

Stone Seat Elder smiled gently, then led her away slowly from this eerie dark dungeon.

In the dungeon...

Gu Tianyang’s expression was sinister, murmured: "Bi Huayi and Feng’Er wanted to poison you, and what they were after was your legacy.

If I asked why you didn’t pass on the legacy to Feng’Er, you would surely say it’s not the right time, or some nonsense like just a few days.

Why didn’t you pass it on to Feng’Er?

With Feng’Er dead, the one who benefits most is you!

You escaped disaster in those few days.

What secrets do you have?"

For a long time... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"You still need to cultivate Skin Masters now, if I moved against you, Sect Leader wouldn’t go easy on me.

But wait for two more years, until you’re a bit older... I’ll certainly give you a Soul Search too, see what’s really going on! Filthy old thing!"

...

...

The next day.

Antitoxic Elixir was delivered to Song Yan, he casually placed it into the Storage Space, then went with Wang Susu to pay respects to the current South Bamboo Peak Master — Stone Seat Elder.

However, they did not meet him.

So, Song Yan and Wang Susu easily went to the Skinning Cave Mansion, but at the door, Wang Susu went in while Song Yan was stopped.

The disciple blocking the door smiled looking at him, said: "Song... Song what was it again? I don’t remember, that’s not important! I’ve heard about you, you were distracted in Stone Master’s class, Stone Master hasn’t forgiven you yet! Wait until he forgives you, then you can enter."

He was trying hard to flatter Peak Master, while trying to establish his authority here through small matters.

Wang Susu had just stepped through the door when she paused.

At her pause, three or four disciples in the Tannery stood up together.

These disciples all emerged during wartime, naturally bonded together, full of hostility.

In their eyes, people like Song Yan and Wang Susu who went out to avoid disaster were from another circle, needing to be stepped on. After all... who is the senior brother and who is the junior brother on this mountain, has not been decided yet.

The air became somewhat stagnant.

And just at this moment, a disciple’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Stone Master is calling everyone!"

Song Yan and the guard disciple exchanged glances, then turned and left.

...

...

After Stone Master returned with Bi Huayi, he directly called the disciples, then took paper and brush and quietly waited, he didn’t look at Song Yan.

Disciples gathered in a circle waiting, not daring to speak.

Before long, quite a few Official Disciples arrived using Shadow Puppets, then walked to a place near Stone Master, respectfully saluting. These were the new Skin Masters or provisional Skin Masters of Shadow Puppet Peak, all trained during wartime.

Stone Master saw everyone was present, then pasted the paper on the stone wall, began to personally teach the "Skin Painting Technique."

"Skin painting requires divine insight, only by comprehending the divine likeness can it be rendered perfect, let me demonstrate, watch carefully..."

Saying that, he grasped the brush.

At this moment, he seemed to transform from a declining old man into one filled with strength.

Everyone quietly watched.

After the painting was finished, there was a round of questions and answers.

Then Stone Master said: "I came to South Bamboo Peak because it is filled with the new blood of my Shadow Puppet Peak, but ultimately we need to establish a hierarchy of seniority. No time like the present, let’s settle it today."

Saying that, he clapped his hands, and aside from the disciples from Shadow Puppet Peak, each disciple from South Bamboo Peak was given a set of paper and brush.
