Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 309: Chapter 307: Refining the Superior Spirit Root_1

Xu Hongde had his clansmen clean up a wooden hut.

He was just about to take Shen Yi there.

A’Qing hurriedly stopped her father, and seeing that no one was around, she put on a pleading face, “Since Daddy has already agreed to let Brother Shen stay and recuperate, why don’t we set up a Four Symbols Demon-Subduing Formation for him as well?”

“…”

Xu Hongde was silent for a long time.

As the clan leader, thinking of the Xu Family and Great Qian having no grievances, and also considering the earnest requests of his daughter and niece, he agreed to let Shen Yi take shelter here temporarily to avoid danger.

He hadn’t really taken seriously the so-called rewards that the young man had promised.

But not receiving thanks was one thing, why did it turn out that he had to make a losing investment upfront?

The consumption of the Four Symbols Demon-Subduing Formation was significant.

With the current situation of the Xu Family, every outing in search of heaven and earth treasures was fraught with extreme danger, meaning their foundation was diminishing with each venture.

“Daddy.”

A’Qing hugged her father’s arm, gently shaking it, her words were not yet complete when she suddenly started coughing violently, as if she was about to cough up her insides.

Xu Hongde’s face tightened, “You first…”

“Go and tend to my injuries,” Shen Yi glanced sideways.

“Oh.” A’Qing’s pale face rubbed her stomach, obediently released her father’s arm, and turned to leave with her aunt.

“…”

Seeing this, Xu Hongde felt strangely uneasy in his heart, as if something was stifling him.

He turned his gaze back to Shen Yi’s arm, under the blue sleeve robe, the dark scales appeared ominous and malevolent.

“Officer Shen, what has happened here?”

Shen Yi did not conceal anything and directly took out the chillingly cold spear from his Storage Treasure, “It wants to take over my body.”

The moment he saw the spear, Xu Hongde’s pupils shrank, and he hesitated while standing in place, “Could this be the Youwei Spear?”

He maintained a calm expression, but deep down he felt bitter.

The two girls not only brought in an outsider but even half a Demon King!

Looking at Shen Yi’s state, it was clear he was at a disadvantage in the struggle with the Youwei Spear.

If he simply watched it run rampant, who knew what kind of chaos it would cause in the Xu Family.

“Officer Shen, you are truly brave… and cautious. Please settle here for now.”

Xu Hongde gave a slight bow, shaking his head, “I must discuss with the elders. If we decide to set up the grand formation, I will come to invite you over.”

He had just turned and walked away.

Behind the hut next to him, two heads, one tall and one short, poked out.

Under A’Qing’s urging, Xu Wanyun tiptoed closer and stuffed a book into Shen Yi’s hands, “We just stole this from his study, keep it safe and don’t let anyone else see it.”

“…”

Shen Yi took the booklet and saw it titled “Demon-refining Treasure Technique.”

As the name implies, it should be a means to counter the Youwei Spear.

The Xu Family might not have been at the pinnacle of power, but when it came to various miscellaneous studies, their collection was terrifyingly rich.

“Thank you, go tend to your injuries now,” Shen Yi said as he watched the two women run off.@@novelbin@@

He walked into the hut at a leisurely pace.

The furnishing was simple, with just one bed and table, but indeed it was very clean; there wasn’t the slightest odd smell, just some faint fragrance from precious wood.

Shen Yi closed the door casually and put the Youwei Spear back into the Storage Treasure.

To subdue this item, his current level of cultivation was still too low.

Fortunately, the haul from this trip to the Thousand Demon Cave was quite substantial.

The storage bag contained the corpses of three Demon Emperors and two Demon Kings, which could be used to refine demon blood and elevate the realm of the Nine Demon Transformation Technique.

There were also two superior Spiritual Roots.

Shen Yi took out the Thunder Jade and the fruit that seemed to be formed from condensed water flows.

The two were restlessly rolling in his palm.

Previously, the Golden Body had expended considerable effort to put the severely injured roots into a deep sleep.

If these Spiritual Roots were to recover to their optimal state, their power would likely be no lesser than a Cultivator of the Deification Transcendent Realm. Plus, having been tormented by the Youwei Spear for many long years, once they broke free, who knew how much slaughter would be needed to soothe the resentment in their hearts.

That heaven and earth Precious Medicine had developed consciousness and could reach such a level without cultivation, which was truly astonishing.

Add to that the Xu Family’s Spiritual Root, and the Dao Infant’s five viscera would be complete.

Shen Yi glanced outside the door. Having come all this way, he was certainly going to give it a try.

However, to increase the weight of his words, his cultivation realm had to be improved further.

Though the Xu Family had weakened, years ago they were capable of trapping and killing Cultivators in the middle stage of Divinity Transformation. Moreover, having suffered at the hands of Mysterious Light Cave, they had become even more cautious after tasting defeat.

Once they went into hiding, they would surely devote all their energy to collecting materials for defensive arrays.

In this idyllic paradise, very few Cultivators would likely dare to face them head-on.

Now, he would have to make these people feel that Great Qian was safer than their Array… The difficulty of this task was not small, and the probability of success was almost zero.

He could only take it one step at a time.

Shen Yi opened the panel to look at the notifications that he had not had time to pay attention to before.

[You have slain a Primordial Realm Gorumu Demon, with a total lifespan of 18,200 years, remaining lifespan of 4,300 years, absorption complete.]

[You have slain a Primordial Realm Flying Fire Leopard Demon, with a total lifespan of 17,900 years, remaining lifespan of 3,800 years, absorption complete.]

[You have slain a Divinity Transformation Mid-Stage Qinglin Ghost Face Hawk, with a total lifespan of 84,000 years, remaining lifespan of 35,000 years, absorption complete.]

[Remaining demon lifespan: 68,700 years.]

With the help of these demons, Shen Yi felt a bit more confidence in his heart.

He finally qualified to set foot in the realm that only the true geniuses could reach.

Shen Yi calmed his breathing.

Once again, he fully activated the Sun Melting Furnace to counter the corrosive power left inside his body by the Youwei Spear, to avoid any interference during extrapolation.

The two superior Spiritual Roots, perhaps due to being connected to the spear for a long time,

seemed to have many strands of intertwined presence, like brothers born of the same mother.

“Refining both at the same time might be more beneficial,” he mused.

Although he had not refined a superior Spiritual Root before, the previous Year Wood too had consciousness.

Shen Yi already had some experience.

He first asked Qinghua to guard the door, then started to channel the demonic lifespan into the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique.

[In the first year, you have taken out both the Dragon Fish Dao Fruit and Golden Thunder White Jade simultaneously. Both superior Spiritual Roots with developed consciousness are still in deep sleep. The Heaven-Devouring Dao Infant wrapped all its demonic power around them.]

Almost at the same time, feathers emerged on the Thunder Jade forming a sharp beak, while the fruit manifested a fish tail.

Apparently, upon sensing the invasion of the demonic power, they both awoke.

Previously, in the Thousand Demon Cave, what mainly suppressed them were the Youwei Spear and the Golden Body Dharma Identity.

Now, the Golden Body was close to collapsing.

Only Shen Yi remained.

But he wasn’t in a hurry; his hand, covered in black scales, gently grasped them.

As if sensing a familiar scent, the unformed Thunder Hawk and Dragon Fish both trembled and instinctively curled up.

For ordinary Spiritual Roots, the key was in the exchange of breath, allowing both to become familiar with each other.

But for beings with spiritual intelligence, in addition to breath, it was also important to make their consciousnesses submit to oneself.
