Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 398: Chapter 396: Shen Yi’s Reciprocation

Shen Yi admitted that he did indeed intend to impose some pressure on the other party.

But he truly had not expected that a cultivator of such a high realm would faint so cleanly and neatly.

He still remembered the last time this woman pummeled the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor like a madwoman.

No matter how fierce he might have looked, he couldn’t possibly be uglier than that spider.

“…”

Letting go of the chair armrest, Shen Yi turned and pushed the door to leave.

...

He met Li Qingfeng’s doubtful face head-on.

“Where’s senior sister?”

Outside the formation casually laid out by Shen Yi, Qingfeng Zhenren, even if he perked his ears up to the highest, heard nothing at all.

“Inside.”

Shen Yi casually stepped aside and walked toward his senior brothers, Wu Dao’an and Zhu Jue.

As he was leading the two bemused brothers down the mountain,

a sharp scream suddenly came from the cabin behind them: “Ah!!!”

“Hmm?”

Wu Dao’an curiously looked towards Junior Brother Shen.

With that scream, his curiosity about what had happened inside the cabin grew even more.

But his gossiping heart was soon captured by something in the other’s hand: “What’s that?”

“The cultivation techniques I copied.”

Shen Yi passed the thick stack of books over.

Worried about arousing suspicion, he had only brought out two jade slips with formations on them, leaving the rest in the Law Storage Pavilion.

During his spare time from concocting elixirs, he had taken the opportunity to copy them all out.

“Could it be, another Transcendent Spirit Technique?!”

Wu Dao’an’s eyes widened, completely unfooled by Junior Brother Shen’s calm demeanor.

When the other had offered Li Huo Fen Xin Zhang before, he had the same nonchalant expression.

“Not entirely,” Shen Yi shook his head.

“I was saying… That’s quite a lot…” Wu Dao’an chuckled awkwardly, but his smile quickly froze on his face.

“There are also ones for Return to Void.”

Upon hearing this,

Zhu Jue appropriately caught hold of Little Wu, preventing him from dropping the stack of cultivation techniques.

“Let go, let go, I can hold it.”

Wu Dao’an drifted unsteadily, looking at what was in his hands as if they were a pile of burning coals.

He stared blankly at the young man before him.

What had the Martial Temple given to him, apart from what Shen Yi exchanged with his own merits? Merely an Abyssal Longblade and some insignificant Incense Willpower.

Yet, what Junior Brother Shen repaid with was a direct path to the heavens.

Old Wu suddenly felt overwhelming guilt.

“Senior Brother Zhu.”

Shen Yi turned to look at the side, then patted the Storage Treasure again.

“Junior Brother Shen, just give the command.”

Zhu Jue had not expected that there would be something for him as well.

The next moment, he saw the divine pills and marvelous elixirs that had made the Wutong Mountain elders drool.

A total of twelve.

In this way, they were nonchalantly handed over by Junior Brother Shen: “This item is called the Huashen Pill, which can help Primordial Cultivators break through their boundaries, just distribute them as you see fit.”

“…”

Zhu Jue struggled to maintain his composure, reaching out to take the elixirs, but his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed him. Even with the temperance he had developed over thousands of years in the Armory, he felt somewhat shaken at this moment.

Logically speaking, if one did not count Shen Yi who spent long periods away, the strongest cultivator in the Martial Temple was only the muddle-headed old ancestor.

If suddenly a group of cultivators reached the Divinity Transformation Realm,

it was even possible that the Yin God-led Martial Temple’s position could be at risk.

But the decline of Great Qian over such a long period had already selected suitable candidates for them, those Primordial Grandmasters who had abandoned their cultivation and could only serve as dogs for the Mysterious Light Cave, helping Great Qian to struggle on with its last breath, finally had hope of breaking through their boundaries.

Zhu Jue was truly excited for that group of crude martial men.

He had once been at the ultimate realm, never entering Divinity Transformation, so he naturally understood the thoughts of those ultimate realm Primordial cultivators better than anyone.

“Junior Brother, you couldn’t possibly have refined elixirs specifically for those people, could you? There’s really no need to worry about us. You should prioritize yourself first. We understand what’s more important.”

Zhu Jue sighed and pushed the elixir back.

Such a precious thing, how much could the other party really have?

“I have already taken some, this is what’s left.”

Shen Yi did not continue to decline, as he had a faint premonition.

The strange behavior of the Thousand Demon Cave, the Demon Emperors garrisoning the precious lands and caves, those so-called old dogs, have yet to show themselves.

And with the Wutong Mountain Ancestor desperately trying to prolong life while safeguarding a treasure to guard the palace and focusing on nurturing Nie Jun, it was clear that he was planning something.

Such actions were very peculiar.

After all, if it were Shen Yi, he would certainly prefer to place hope in himself.

Perhaps the resources within the Nanyang Sect aren’t sufficient for cultivators of the Return to Void Realm to continue advancing, leaving them to only wither away as their lifespans run out.

He couldn’t accept such an outcome.

If possible, Shen Yi still wanted to go out and see the wider world.

Before leaving, he had to repay the favor he owed the Martial Temple.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Shen Yi nodded slightly and, under the gaze of the two, flew away into the sky.

Though it had happened countless times before,

Wu Dao’an was still somewhat dazed: “Do you think… Shen Junior Brother has always been so busy, is it just because of these things we have here?”

Zhu Jue carefully put away the Huashen Pills, his eyes filled with growing concern: “Have you ever thought that for such a treasure, could there be a second place in the world that would possess it?”

The Thousand Demon Cave, ah…

In such a place surrounded by a mass of demons, with Shen Junior Brother walking among them, one can hardly imagine the caution required to tread lightly at every step. If noticed by those Great Demon Emperors, it would be a matter of life and death.

“What’s the situation?”

Li Qingfeng heard the noise, stepped out of the room, and saw the retreating figure disappearing into the distance.

His mouth twitched twice, and he said in disbelief, “He’s leaving just like that? He took the Demon Core, didn’t even listen to what was going on and just left?!”

It’s not that he hadn’t considered the possibility of being rejected.

Li Qingfeng had even prepared himself to return and take the scolding, but he had not anticipated things would end this way.

“Talking would’ve been useless.”

The Lingxie, awakened by the Heart-cleansing Mantra, walked slowly out of the doorway, staring complexly at the sky: “He’s not going to return with us.”

“Aren’t you going to explain to me just what happened? Right after you closed the door…”

Li Qingfeng seemed to recall something and suddenly turned around.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiulan, whose expression hadn’t changed, came over and stood beside him just as before, her slightly clenched fingers betraying her eagerness to know as well.

“It’s… it’s nothing.”

The Lingxie avoided their gazes, her cheeks blushing slightly.

She certainly couldn’t tell them that she hadn’t even made a move before she was scared into passing out by the young man.

After the events of the day,

Lingxie actually found herself trusting Shen Yi a bit more; after all, in such a situation, he had not devoured her.

He even killed the Youwei Demon Emperor and the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor before.

Even if he were truly a demon in disguise, he must be a kind demon with a hard lot.

“Nothing?”

Li Qingfeng stretched his mouth into an incredulous smile, his eyelids twitching non-stop.

Nothing and yet you faint in a chair, nothing and your cheeks are flushed like that?

Jiang Qiulan quietly withdrew her gaze and clenched the few Huashen Pills again, realizing that her time was running short.

If Shen Yi continued to wander alone,

She didn’t dare to imagine who would be the next to blush.
