Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit. Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world! To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps: 1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets. 2. Subdue and vanquish the demon. 3. Take her cultivation technique for myself. Awesome! I'm already invincible! ———————— Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television: Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today? Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me. Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife? Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose. Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right? Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Chapter 97: One Man Holds the Pass

The Onmyoji, Asou Yuuto, who just retrieved the treasure, claimed he didn't receive any reward from the Departure Palace. Is what he said true or false?

Shenyuan Simie tends to think he's lying, as he has always been inclined to suspect the worst of everyone around him.

Xiandao Jingyin felt he wasn't lying. However, whatever the actual situation, she had to proceed as if "Asou had lied."

The reason was simple: if the Departure Palace transferred the Taoism Method's knowledge directly into the recipient's mind instead of giving out scrolls, then only the recipient would know whether the reward had been received or not.

If they chose to believe Asou's statement and did not administer a severe punishment, then the subordinates who retrieved the treasures afterward might be tempted to follow suit, claiming adamantly that "there's a problem with the Departure Palace mechanism" or "I did not receive the reward"... In such a case, things would become completely unmanageable.
