Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang_1

Shen Yi’s divine sense touched the Jade Slip.

Dense clusters of tiny words surged into his mind.

After digesting the information, a new line of text quietly appeared on the panel.

[Transcendent Spirit Technique (Precious). Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang Upper Volume: Uninitiated]

“…”

Shen Yi had hovered in the air for a while, listening to the conversation of the people below, and he had guessed that what this group had obtained might not be simple.

The reason being that Mysterious Light Cave had clearly arranged for disciples to guard outside the cave dwelling.

Zheng Zisheng, alone, still risked making a move.

That indicated he was even unwilling to let his fellow sect members know about the existence of this treasure, wanting to monopolize it.

It turned out to be a partially complete cultivation technique that was extremely precious even in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

“A partial manuscript.”

Shen Yi cast his gaze toward the thick book and then opened it.

The handwriting was neat, with annotations made especially.

After reading the preface, Shen Yi roughly understood.

The master of the cave dwelling accidentally obtained this Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang cultivation technique but was never able to find the Heart-Burning Chapter, which piqued his curiosity, so he simply tried to extrapolate it himself.

That was why this cultivation technique was placed in the loft used for rest.

Allowing outsiders like himself to stumble upon such a bargain.

Shen Yi calmed his mind and continued reading, his eyes revealing a touch of joy. Although he couldn’t understand everything clearly, from the random notes left by the master of the cave dwelling, it was apparent that the technique had been extrapolated to about eighty or ninety percent.

It was just short of the final touches.

This was nothing less than perfect for him.

Not to mention saving his lifespan, with guidance from a predecessor, he wouldn’t get duped into wrongly modifying it to Demonic Martial Arts.

However, there was one trouble that he simply couldn’t avoid.

Whether it be Primordial Martial Arts or Transcendent Spirit Techniques, one needed a Spiritual Root to get started.

At this thought, Shen Yi glanced over at A’Qing, who was carefully organizing the Storage Bag.

If he was not mistaken, her real name should be Xu Qing’er.

The Formation grand clan that had offended Mysterious Light Cave and then took their whole clan into hiding.

The change in her expression earlier was most likely because she knew of the message about the Superior Spirit Root with miasma.

He needed to find a way to coax the message out of her.

But for a force like this that has suffered at the hands of others, once bitten, twice shy, it wouldn’t be easy to gain their trust.@@novelbin@@

Shen Yi had never considered resorting to despicable means.

Back in Baiyun County, when he was facing life-or-death uncertainty, he never pointed his long blade at Lin Baiwei and forced her to hand over her cultivation technique.

Especially now that he had some means to protect himself.

Why bother doing something to disgust oneself?

Moreover, since Mysterious Light Cave had captured hundreds of Xu Family members last time and had still not managed to seek revenge on the Xu Family, how could such a cautious force be coerced by the capture of a young girl, only to offend them unnecessarily?

He should take things slow.

“Grandmaster Shen, look at this!”

A’Qing looked up excitedly, her palm cradling an exquisitely crafted small furnace, “This is Wutong Mountain’s Gathering Spirit Furnace, its value is comparable to a precious tool!”

“What’s a Gathering Spirit Furnace?” Shen Yi inquired, puzzled.

“This is a closely guarded secret of Wutong Mountain that can gather the essence of heaven and earth to aid in cultivation. Only those true immortals may use it, and it is occasionally awarded to well-regarded recorded disciples… Hey, how come it’s in the Storage Bag of a Mysterious Light Cave disciple.”

A’Qing blinked, as if realizing something, and hurriedly put the item into the Storage Treasure.

This item was too hot to handle.

Shen Yi also raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, the last time it was reported that a recorded disciple of Wutong Mountain had been slain, the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor who made the move seemed to have been pursued fiercely.

“You look at the other stuff first.”

He reached out his hand to take the Storage Bag, tactfully changing the subject, “If you were that Zhang True Immortal, after entering the cave dwelling, where would you go?”

“Is that so…”

A’Qing did not dare to be careless and began to ponder seriously.

After all, the Grandmaster certainly wanted to avoid that true person; if A’Qing pointed out the wrong path, it might bring them big trouble.

“The most important thing in a cave mansion is none other than the Law Storage Pavilion, but Mysterious Light Cave has explored it once before and knows that the owner of this mansion is an Artifact Refiner, so he is most likely to go there to take a look.”

A’Qing pointed towards a place: “In his spare time from refining precious tools, he could conveniently rest here in this attic, and this direction happens to be where the fire energy of the entire formation is the most vigorous. If we go in from here, it should lead us to the owner’s Blacksmithing Workshop.”

He continued, “If you want to avoid Mysterious Light Cave, you could actually leave now because neither the Blacksmithing Workshop nor the Law Storage Pavilion can be broken into in just a few short days.”

Shen Yi looked in the direction A’Qing pointed to, but apart from the landscape and the white clouds, he couldn’t make out anything else.

There are specializations in each technical profession, and besides elevating one’s realm, it’s also time to learn something else, otherwise, it’s too easy to be tricked by others, being seen as a fool with just brute strength.

He nodded his chin lightly and at the same time gave Chen Zhong a look from a distance, before taking A’Qing and sweeping towards that direction.

“Predecessor…”

Chen Zhong was actually not very willing to continue delving deeper.

He had a vague bad feeling in his heart.

Thousand Demon Cave obviously came prepared, and their target most likely was Zhang Mingyang.

The few Demon Kings encountered earlier were probably just a mere backdrop.

To slay a real person of the Divinity Transformation Realm, there had to be participation from a Demon Emperor, and it would be one that was confident in overwhelming Zhang Mingyang.

Even if there was no involvement from Thousand Demon Cave,

once Zhang Mingyang saw Chen Zhong, as was customary, Chen Zhong would always be the one who scouted ahead.

Several Grandmasters of Great Qian had fallen this way.

It was only because Chen Zhong’s own realm was slightly more profound and his experience rather seasoned that he managed to barely survive until now.

“Forget it.”

Far from home, one is not the master of one’s fate.

The old man shook his head and fully engaged his Dao Infant to follow.

“…”

Wasn’t he supposed to avoid them?

A’Qing was being held by the collar, his entire body swaying in the gusts of wind that met him head-on.

He actually wanted to say that he also had a Storage Treasure for riding the clouds.

But sneakily glancing up at Shen Yi’s calm profile, A’Qing simply shut his mouth. Despite Grandmaster Shen’s silent and taciturn manner, he didn’t show any mercy when taking action, so it was better for A’Qing to keep quiet.

Once he got used to the motion,

He curiously looked around and then whispered softly, “Grandmaster Shen, we’re nearing our destination.”

Shen Yi nodded slightly, quickly retracted the red clouds, and descended towards the ground below.

With a wave of his hand, a cloak as dark as ink draped over him.

The gains from the cultivation techniques and superior spiritual root actually left him quite satisfied; he continued to go deeper just to see if he could seize an unexpected opportunity.

If he could encounter a seriously injured Demon Emperor…

That gain would be far more precious than any Precious Tool.

“You should have something on you to conceal your presence, right?” Shen Yi glanced over.

“I do!”

A’Qing began to rummage through his Storage Bag again.

Soon, he pulled out three palm-sized Array Plates, handing them to Shen Yi and Chen Zhong behind him, and instructed them on how to use them.

Although Shen Yi had Qinghua’s cloak, one could never have too many means to conceal one’s presence.

It was best to completely hide oneself if possible.

“This… Thank you.”

Chen Zhong received the Array Plate, glancing at it briefly.

His pupils suddenly constricted.

As if recognizing something, he stealthily glanced at A’Qing and, possibly out of respect for Shen Yi being present, promptly buried that speculation deep within his heart.
