Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 397: Chapter 395: Quick, Leave; I’ll Pretend I Never Saw You

“What are you doing?”

Li Qingfeng moved back next to his senior sister, jostling her with his elbow, “What are you freaking out about now? Can’t you be normal for once?”

“I…”

Lingxi gulped, hiding the panic in her eyes, standing still on the spot.

The others also noticed the elder’s unusual behavior.

Zhu Jue slightly frowned.

...

Rather than saying Lingxi genuinely recognized Junior Shen, as if greeting an acquaintance, it seemed more like she was fearful of him.

It was a complex emotion of wanting to escape yet not willing to do so.

So strange!

“How’s your cultivation coming along?”

Shen Yi seemed to overlook everyone else, directly standing his ground and starting to inquire.

“Not too bad.”

Jiang Qiulan pursed her lips, staring at the young man’s face, with an imperceptible longing surfacing in her eyes, “Master said that after some more time, I could consider integrating a second Spiritual Root, Wutong Mountain is very generous, they have prepared a Superior-grade Spiritual Root for me.”

“Don’t use their stuff.”

Shen Yi shook his head and took out three Huashen Pills and handed them over, “Use these, come find me if it’s not enough.”

According to the Elixir recipes left by Nanyang Sect.

External Spiritual Roots were considered low-grade, using Huashen Pills were mid-grade, only self-cultivation of Spiritual Roots counted as top-grade.

Unable to reach the latter threshold for now, but there was also no need to rely on externals, choosing a median path was quite acceptable.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Qiulan took the Elixir but still kept her gaze fixed on Shen Yi’s eyes.

Compared to the Elixir itself, his gesture was actually telling her something else.

That was, from now on, the two were no longer little cultivators dodging the pursuit of the Mysterious Light Cave, nor did they need to disguise their identities, they could openly tell everyone that she and Shen Yi were colleagues from Qingzhou.

With Shen Yi’s cautious character.

Being able to hand out these three pills in front of so many people was proof enough that he now had the confidence and strength to control the situation.

“I’ve been missing you a lot.”

Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath and suddenly let down her guard.

Her abrupt words, only Shen Yi could understand.

That’s just how this woman was.

Li Qingfeng, sniffing the strong fragrance of the medicine, ungraciously squinted his eyes and edged closer, “What’s this? Let me have a look!”

“Wow! Wow! Wow!”

He marveled for quite a while but couldn’t articulate why, “Don’t recognize it.”

Though he didn’t recognize it, at the very moment this Elixir appeared.

Almost everyone’s eyes were drawn towards what was in Jiang Qiulan’s hand, their faces involuntarily showing a trace of intoxication.

To have an Elixir capable of causing changes throughout the Li State so easily appear before their eyes.

“It seems that you are not the only one with a gift.”

Xu Wanyun sniffed the Elixir’s fragrance and glanced at the little girl.

“…”

Xu Qing’er pinched her waist and bit her white teeth, “You’re so annoying.”

Taking the chance as Shen Yi’s expression visibly softened.

Li Qingfeng decisively pulled out a Storage Bag and started to speak of formal matters, “Anyway, Master asked me to give this to you, as long as you…”

Shen Yi took the Storage Bag and glanced inside, only to see it filled to the brim with Demon Cores.

Many times more than what he had previously lost.

The indifference in his eyes then lessened slightly.

Casually pocketing it, he then shifted his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

“Hey! I wasn’t finished yet, don’t you dare be too much!”

Li Qingfeng, hopping mad, was gobsmacked that such audacity was shown on Wutong Mountain and in front of so many people — shameless!

“You really think Wutong Mountain has no one, do you? Big sister, look at him!”

Indeed, he couldn’t beat Shen Yi, but behind him was Lingxi.

Before he could finish, Shen Yi nodded towards the distance, “Come here.”

After saying that, he turned back and re-entered the wooden house.

“…”

Everyone simultaneously turned to look at Lingxi, only to see the woman pause for a moment, then follow the young man into the house without a word, and even closed the door behind her.

Slam.

Li Qingfeng furiously tugged at his hair, eyes bulging.

The damn thing — could someone tell him what in the world was going on here?

The big sister he was worried might get angry and mess up had been acting like a mute fool ever since she saw Shen Yi.

Forget making a sarcastic comment, she didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Was this his arrogantly proud big sister?

“I feel my heart beating a bit fast.”

Wu Dao’an, with Zhu Jue by his side, felt overwhelmed by the fright, being an elderly man.

Every move that Little Brother Shen had just made seemed like a dance upon a steel knife.

Even now, the people of Wutong Mountain hadn’t fallen out with them, which made the entire group from Great Qian feel somewhat ashamed.

“Little Brother Shen must have his own plans… probably.”

Zhu Jue appeared calm, but in reality, he was also panicking.

No matter how fast Great Qian was developing, how could it stand a chance against Wutong Mountain?

Let’s not even talk about all their disciples.

The Wutong Mountain Ancestor alone was enough to surpass a tripartite alliance tied together.

“…”

Jiang Qiulan carefully put away the elixir she had just received, without even asking about its specific effects.

How could anything given by Shen Yi harm her?

She raised her eyes to look at that house, a hint of curiosity flashing through them.

Given her understanding of Ling Xi, the other had never shown such a submissive demeanor, even in the face of Nie Jun.

Could it be that the other had also witnessed the majesty of that tall mountain?

That shouldn’t be the case.

As far as Jiang Qiulan remembered, Ling Xi should have only been out once.

And besides, if it were just to discuss matters, why close the doors?

…

While everyone harbored their own thoughts and speculations.

Ling Xi was leaning against the wooden door, staring deathly at the tranquil face before her.

She felt somewhat weak all over.

She could mistake anyone else, but she could never forget that face.

Right under the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor, he had transformed into a golden-eyed lion before her very eyes.

Real Ling Xi’s breathing became more frantic, finally turning into an almost imperceptible whisper, “Leave, don’t hurt the others, and I’ll pretend I never saw you… I won’t tell Master or Nie Jun. Please, just go, I beg you.”

“…”

Shen Yi remained silent, finally understanding where Nie Jun’s five swords had come from.

This idiot.

She really had misunderstood the whole situation.

Even at this moment, she still believed he was a transformed golden-eyed lion.

After a long silence, Shen Yi kicked a chair over and said in a soft voice, “Sit.”

“I won’t sit…”

While saying so, Ling Xi nervously sat down on the chair.

She truly had no confidence in defeating this lion.

The brutal manner in which he had killed the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor was still vividly in her mind. Putting aside cultivation and methods, just the mere presence of that killing intent was something she couldn’t compare with.

The overwhelming demonic power and the powerful demonic physique were all too real.

How could these people from Great Qian treat it with such respect? Could it be that it had never shown its hand in front of others, never revealing a single flaw?

“How did you make a breakthrough to complete Divinity Transformation?”

Shen Yi sat down as well.

Ling Xi was stunned for a long while before realizing that the other was not mocking her but was truly asking a question.

“I… I just stayed on the mountain… taking elixirs and practicing cultivation techniques… doing nothing… slowly blending with the aura of heaven and earth.”

“Then why don’t you have a Dao Palace yet?”

Shen Yi looked over, feeling somewhat speechless. It seemed that the concept of Dao Heart wasn’t necessarily all high and mighty.

People like her, who ate and slept, who had no troubles on their minds, in fact, had no thoughts of enlightenment to speak of, because they were never blocked in the first place.

“Master believes there’s no need for me to cultivate a Dao Palace… There’s only one treasure for establishing the palace, and that’s reserved for Nie Jun.”

Words Ling Xi never shared with her fellow disciples slipped out in the presence of those dark eyes.

“What is this treasure for establishing the palace?”

Shen Yi didn’t hold back, taking this opportunity to ask everything at once.

After all, it was difficult to find another high-level cultivator as naive as this one.

“I shouldn’t… Master said, ‘A Dao Palace is like a painting, and the treasure is like a seal.'”

Real Ling Xi found breathing increasingly difficult, but she couldn’t stop explaining, “No matter how beautiful the painting, it ultimately needs a seal to be completely stabilized and to achieve the Return to Void Boundary.”

“That treasure is only the most rudimentary tool, yet it is also one of the two items that Master desperately rescued from our sect back in the day.”

“What’s the other item?”

Shen Yi stood up and walked in front of her, pressing his hands on the armrests, leaning over to look at her.

Staring at that face so close at hand.

Real Ling Xi tensed up, enveloped by the oppressive dominance, nearly fainting.

She let out her final two words.

“Dao Plate.”
