Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 261: Chapter 261 He is a Good Man_1

Shen Yi closed his eyes to feel.

After putting away the Dragonflame Jade Ganoderma, the most concentrated essence in his heart had disappeared.

He made sure there was nothing else he missed.

This medicinal hut seemed to have been built solely to nurture the Dragonflame Jade Ganoderma.

Only then did he reach out to take the Spiritual Root, holding it in his palm to examine closely.

As expected from a treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, even after being plucked, it still appeared vibrant, like a wriggling living thing.

Covered all over with magma-like fluid.

However, Shen Yi, protected by the Cold Jade Xuan Silk Hand, could directly hold it in his hand without any harm.

“What a pity,” he said.

Such an extremely yang object had nothing to do with evil spirits at all.

It was not compatible with him.

But Shen Yi was not too disappointed, for he had previously seen a bunch of cultivators trading treasures at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.

After leaving, he could inquire about related news.

Before cultivators in the Primordial Realm, Spiritual Roots should be considered hard currency.

“You just mentioned Mid-grade Spirit Root, is there a special term for that?” he asked as he turned to look at A’Qing.

A’Qing, holding paper and pen, quickly recorded the features of the Dragonflame Jade Ganoderma in the hands of the young man. Although she had seen many treasures’ knowledge at home, the feeling of seeing them in person was different.

After she finished writing, she looked up in surprise and said, “Of course, there is. The heavenly treasures that can serve as Spiritual Roots are numerous, and based on their rarity, they can be divided into four quality grades. The most powerful, the Superior Spirit Root, can even generate its own consciousness.”

“But…”

A’Qing pursed her lips in frustration, “Once they generate consciousness, they often get tainted with evil spirit due to the lack of guidance, rendering them useless to cultivators. This also leads to genuine Superior Spirit Roots being exceedingly rare, and their emergence into the world always causes a bloodbath.”

“Evil spirit?” Shen Yi nodded and continued in an unperturbed tone, “Is there a lot of this stuff?”

What was useless for others was a delicacy for him.

“Ah… probably not much.”

A’Qing pondered for a moment, “Nobody would risk their life to provoke something of no use, and as for actual Superior Spirit Roots, they would certainly be used up immediately upon acquisition.”

As she spoke, her eyes flickered.

In truth, she was aware of a Superior Spirit Root tainted with evil spirit that plagued many of her kin, but she absolutely couldn’t bring outsiders to it.@@novelbin@@

“I see,” said Shen Yi.

He caught the subtlety of the young boy’s expression and smiled indifferently, “Loose Cultivator, Shen Yi.”

A’Qing blinked for a moment before realizing the other party was introducing himself.

Instantly, she felt somewhat flustered and blurted out awkwardly, “Xu Qing’er, ah!… No ‘er’.”

She had never expected a Primordial Grandmaster to voluntarily show goodwill to her.

Since leaving home, the attitude of the powerful and masterful individuals she met, like Xiang Tianxiong’s, could be considered decent at best.

Having said that, he sneaked a glance at the silver pouch at the young man’s waist.

A Grandmaster probably had some connection to Qingqiu, yet claimed to be a Loose Cultivator; so her not being completely honest shouldn’t be taken as an offense, right?

“Come with me,” said Shen Yi, as he turned and walked outside.

Sheesh, he was familiar with only a handful of major powers, and yet, unexpectedly, found himself encountering all of them just after leaving Great Qian.

“Thank you, Grandmaster!” A’Qing said with her little face flushed with excitement, knowing that traveling with such a strong person would surely broaden her horizons.

What a good person.

The two men quickly stepped out of the herbal hut, and after the loss of the Dragonflame Jade Ganoderma, the entire wave of flames lost its spirit.

Shen Yi clasped A’Qing, needing no breath to propel himself as he leapt straight over.

Under the blessing of his treasure-hunting talent, countless auras surged into his mind.

However, precisely because there were too many, they seemed very cluttered, and none too intense.

Shen Yi turned his eyes to the scholar beside him, “Do you know the way?”

“My father is very interested in the internal structure of the cave mansion and has done some research, but I’m too dull, I only listened to some on the side.”

A’Qing looked around, “Such a large scale, it must be at least a Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivator’s cave mansion. With such mid-grade Spirit Roots, it’s not very precious to him, they should be planted outside the real cave mansion.”

He closed his eyes, recalling everything he had seen before, and then pointed eastward, “Going in from here, we might see his usual resting pavilion. There might not be any treasures in such a place, but it could help us grasp some of his habits, and thus infer the location of the Law Storage Pavilion and treasures.”

Compared to aimlessly blundering around like a headless fly.

A’Qing clearly had a better idea and even reminded them, “When I came in, I noticed that the Teleportation Array had some serious problems and couldn’t support the month’s duration others mentioned, it will close in at most a couple of weeks.”

“Even if we find the Law Storage Pavilion or the tool refiner’s pavilion, there isn’t enough time to break the Formation, you should consider this yourself.”

If it was only to broaden one’s horizons, then surely it would be better to follow the path.

But if it’s for treasure hunting, blundering around might be more efficient.

“…”

Shen Yi listened quietly, his heart skipping a beat.

What A’Qing thought was not important was utterly fatal to others!

If the Teleportation Array prematurely closed, then at that time, whether you’re Primordial or have undergone Divinity Transformation, everyone would be trapped here.

Within hundreds to thousands of years, the lifespan of most cultivators would be utterly depleted.

“Let’s go, take a look inside first.”

Shen Yi directly summoned the Red Clouds, no longer caring about attracting the attention of others.

While it’s important to be cautious, one can’t be too weak when it’s time to take risks.

…

Deep inside the cave mansion, an elegant loft had lost the protection of its Array.

Even if constructed using precious plants, it still showed signs of dilapidation under the ravages of time.

The man in the radiant long robe, now seething with anger, hovered in the air, his eyes filled with deadly intent.

The person he was protecting behind him had his physical body shattered, revealing most of his Dao Infant and was clearly severely injured.

“Zheng Zisheng! You’ve gone too far!”

The two men’s last name was Yu, and they were blood brothers.

The one who was seriously injured was the elder brother, named Yu Yuelong, with the ability of an Upper Realm Primordial cultivator.

His younger brother, Yu Yuehu, was slightly inferior, still a Middle Realm Mixed Yuan Grandmaster.

Currently, standing opposite the two brothers was one of the disciples who had followed behind Real Person Zhang into the Mysterious Light Cave.

Zheng Zisheng also seemed to be in a bad situation, but he sneered coldly, his gaze sweeping around, “Have you lost your minds? Daring to lay hands on me.”

Around him stood three Middle Realm Mixed Yuan Grandmasters, each holding a weapon, staring coldly at him.

The situation wasn’t complicated.

The Yu brothers were fortunate, directly coming upon a pavilion where the Array had failed.

By the time others noticed, the two were coincidentally walking out with their spoils.

In such a scenario, where everyone was a long-acquainted expert.

Aside from some envy in their hearts, they didn’t act too outrageously, congratulating the brothers with clasped hands.

Yu Yuelong, a man of rules, agreed to continue the exploration together, and if there were any other gains, the two brothers promised to lend a hand, never taking any more for themselves.
