Chapter 107: Life and Death Zen Body Upper Volume (Thanks to the Lord of the Heavenly Dao for the Alliance Leader)
On the roof of the Grand Harmony Pavilion in Qingzhou City, a place unnoticed by others.
Jiang Chengyun couldn't help but feel helpless, wondering if it was his professional habit. Even after returning to Qingzhou City, Grandma always preferred to stay in such strange places and even put on an innocent and harmless act during the day.
A Qian sat with her two slender, white legs crossed, "Come on, you came back so quickly. What did you do?"
At this, Jiang Chengyun remained expressionless, "I stood on a tree and stared."
"Then what?" A Qian turned back, puzzled.
"Then I came back," Jiang Chengyun quietly pouted, not even knowing what he was doing.
Seeing his deflated expression, A Qian couldn't help but laugh, "Does he have such great abilities?"
Earlier, this grandson had looked down on Shen Yi, but after going out and returning, his attitude had changed so much.
"He's even more capable than you think."
Jiang Chengyun exhaled, his expression complex, "He's stronger than I was back then... including when you and General You were young. His actions are more decisive and ruthless. Given time, he will never lose to me."
"So, you're planning to bring him in and replace us old folks?" A Qian stretched her body nonchalantly.
"I don't have the ability to lead anyone, nor will I take care of him," Jiang Chengyun slowly clenched his palm.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise finally appeared on A Qian's face.
From the tone of his words, the grandson had already regarded the young man as a competitor.
A Core Formation Warrior felt pressured by a young man in the Jade Essence Perfection Realm?
"Haha, let's give him the credit for being a Silver Bell Exorcist. Let's not follow the Demon Suppressing Bureau's path. Once he accumulates enough merits, we'll quickly get him the Crystal Condensation Technique and Martial Temple's refinement."
The Demon Suppressing Bureau seeks stability in Qingzhou and dares not allow any unstable factors within.
But Exorcists are different; they love using this sharp sword, even if it might hurt themselves.
"By the way, where is he now?" A Qian asked, a little puzzled.
"He returned early to help supervise the captains' confiscation of Vajra Sect."
Jiang Chengyun couldn't help but sigh. At his age, possessing such strength was already remarkable. Moreover, he was surprisingly meticulous and organized in his actions.
First, he decisively surrounded Vajra Sect, then left the city to capture the demon. He didn't care about fame and restrained himself, striving to complete even the last details.
Thinking of this, he frowned and looked down at the young master of the aristocratic family.
Comparisons are always revealing. What a bunch of useless things they were.
"Since you're free, before you leave, push those fake beggars out and chop them up. They're an eyesore," A Qian's words sealed Vajra Sect's fate. She then stood up, "I was thinking of finding someone to guide that kid through the process. Since you think so highly of him, you can take him to Yong'an City to broaden his horizons."
"Okay," Jiang Chengyun nodded in agreement.
...
In the western part of the city, at Vajra Sect.
Countless captains hurriedly moved about on the shattered steps.
They were extremely skilled in confiscating and exterminating sects, searching thoroughly, even in the crevices of beds, leaving no stone unturned.
The massive Buddha statue was smashed with a stick to ensure there were no treasures hidden within, and then they moved on to the next one.
Shen Yi leaned against the carriage, casually flipping through the martial arts manual in his hand.
Two captains stood by his side, respectfully saying, "Lord Shen, do you want to make a copy to bring back and inspect carefully?"
After a moment, Shen Yi closed the martial arts manual, which he had finally found with great difficulty, and casually tossed it aside, "No need, just add it to the catalog."
"This Vajra Sect used to be a renowned major sect, but in just a few hundred years, they've become so poor." The captain felt a bit embarrassed.
This foundation, not to mention compared to Qingfeng Sect, even when compared to ordinary second-rate sects, was vastly different. Where did all the silver go?
"They exhausted their resources, attempting to forcefully create a Body Tempering Warrior comparable to the Condensation Core Realm, hoping to restore their former glory..."
The other captain spoke halfway but suddenly closed his mouth. Lord Shen's return and his order to start the operation indicated that the abbot was most likely already gone.
"Go ahead and get to work."
Shen Yi nodded slightly, and the two left.
He summoned a panel and noticed the additional words on it, a barely discernible trace of joy flashing through his clear eyes.
【Condensation Core. Life and Death Zen Body Upper Volume (Not Yet Initiated)】
Indeed, when he first met the Vajra Sect's abbot, Shen Yi had sensed that the other's aura was not that of an evil cultivation art.
Based on his initial understanding from reading, the Zen body required meditation and cultivation, extracting the essence of life and death from the world's energy to temper one's body.
The two colors, white and black, represented death and rebirth.
The abbot's Buddhist cultivation was likely not far from his own, and it would be difficult to achieve enlightenment solely through meditation. Thus, he had taken the easiest path by using the most readily available objects of life and death to aid his cultivation.
It seemed that he had indeed achieved results.
Shen Yi glanced at the remaining 400 years of the demon's lifespan, letting out a slight sigh.
How much time had passed since returning from Qingfeng Mountain? His lifespan had already been reduced to this extent.
This martial art only had the upper volume.
Shen Yi had come across many incomplete things like this before, among which the Golden Yang Eight Treasures Mysterious Body was the closest. After cultivating it to perfection, it barely reached the Jade Dew Realm, but when facing a true Jade Dew Realm demon, it was still not very effective.
For this half-complete Life and Death Zen Body, as long as he could cultivate it fully, it would definitely provide a significant boost to his own cultivation, and not just a small one. However, it was not enough to bring about a qualitative change.
What truly attracted Shen Yi was that it belonged to the Condensation Core Realm body tempering martial art, which ventured into realms beyond the Jade Dew Realm. With his ability to refine demon crystals, as long as he had sufficient lifespan, he could try to evolve it into a complete demon martial art.
A complete Condensation Core Realm body tempering technique would be enough for a first-rate power to establish a sect.
After so long since his transmigration, he finally had the opportunity to come into contact with higher-level martial arts.
Now, he could borrow what he lacked from demons.
With this in mind, Shen Yi took out the silver bell from his waist, knowing that with this object by his side, the difficulty of obtaining demons' lifespans had already been greatly reduced.
There was no need to be too hasty.
As the sky darkened, the captains loaded box after box of items onto carriages, which were then transported to the Demon Suppressing Bureau's government office.
Shen Yi hitched a ride and returned to the separate courtyard.
Occasional conversations could be heard from within the courtyard.
On the table, there was still warm food and drinks, with the wine cups seven-tenths full, but no one had touched the food.
Zhang Butcher played with the boy in his arms, and Fang Heng gazed at them with a hint of reminiscence. Hearing footsteps outside, they all turned to look, concealing their worries. They stood up and smiled, saying:
"You're back."
Shen Yi was slightly startled and casually tossed the savage wolf cloak onto the back of the chair. He walked over to the table, sat down, and took a sip from the wine cup, asking, "Anything going on?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng sighed helplessly, "I was worried that something might have happened to you, Lord Shen."
Suppressing the young talents of Qingzhou was something that ordinary people couldn't accomplish.
Behind these young ones stood a group of old men.
Not only had Shen Yi done it, but he had done it flawlessly, leaving no room for criticism.
However, as long as one was human, it was impossible to never make mistakes or errors. It was necessary to continuously demonstrate one's strength to make that group of people put away their venomous gazes and dare not look directly at him again.
If he could achieve this, Fang Heng suggested that his master retire early and hand over the commander's position to Lord Shen.
"I..."
Zhang Butcher raised his wine cup, toasting to Shen Yi, and then drank it in one gulp.
A great favor was not something one could easily express gratitude for.
He wiped the wine stains from his beard, "No matter when or where, as long as you need me, just say the word, and I'll prepare a coffin and take care of it for you."
With the support of the big shots' votes and rewards, this book made it to the top three on the Jianghu rankings. There was also a big shot who rewarded the leader, leaving Little Plagiarist overwhelmed. The updates will definitely be increased, but the temperature has suddenly dropped a lot these past two days, and Little Plagiarist has unfortunately caught a cold. He is currently feeling dizzy and confused, writing incoherently. He will take a short rest and make up for it with free chapters before the book is published, hoping for the big shots' understanding.
