Chapter 201: Alliance of the Immortal Sect, Cultivating the Yin Spirit
Chapter 201: Alliance of the Immortal Sect, Cultivating the Yin Spirit
Shen Yi was about to set off when a tall figure walked into the courtyard.
The Li siblings had already intended to leave, and upon seeing Jiang Qiuluan, they immediately bowed and then turned to flee, not even noticing that Senior Jiang had changed into a black dress.
The offspring of aristocratic families might not fear the military, as most of the time, they were as good as wooden posts.
However, the piles of heads on the walls of Yushan County served as a constant reminder and warning to all the martial arts sects and aristocratic families.
"Achan asked me to give you the Stealth Technique."
Jiang Qiuluan knocked gently on the door and waited for a response before pushing it open and stepping inside.
"Thank you for your help." Shen Yi took the martial arts manual from her hand.
"Regarding the body-hardening technique and pills you mentioned before, I've had them prepared and sent to the address you provided."
Jiang Qiuluan sat down next to the young man, her voice pleasant, and her eyes carrying a hint of warmth.
"Good."
Shen Yi nodded. With his current achievements, all he needed to do was send a message, and the Demon Suppression Division would open their internal warehouses, taking out the best martial arts manuals and pills to send to a martial artist outside.
Not to mention leaking martial arts secrets, even if Zhang the Butcher used a manual to establish his own sect, the local Demon Suppression Division would still do their best to support him.
However, even if they emptied the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Division...
There wasn't a single martial arts manual that could stir Shen Yi's interest at this point.
He glanced to the side and asked, "How many demon merits would it take to exchange for a mixed primordial realm martial arts manual from the imperial court?"
However, Jiang Qiuluan's reply surprised him.
"The Great Qian Dynasty focuses on cultivating the Yin Spirit. There are no mixed primordial realm martial arts manuals. The Martial Temple might have some, but I assume there aren't many."
"Doesn't the Martial Temple belong to the Great Qian Dynasty?"
If Shen Yi recalled correctly, the previous rewards were also obtained through exchanges with the Martial Temple.
Jiang Qiuluan shook her head gently. "It's the Great Qian Dynasty that belongs to the Martial Temple. I'm talking about the true Martial Temple. It was the Martial Temple, not the Great Qian, that formed the alliance covenant with Xuan Guang Cave and Wutong Mountain."
This wasn't the first time Shen Yi had heard these two names. "Are these the two Immortal Sects you mentioned?"
"Mhm." Jiang Qiuluan was used to the young man's indifference to worldly affairs. It was only natural for someone like Shen Yi to focus all his attention on martial arts cultivation.
"Currently, Wutong Mountain leads the alliance. There are twelve true disciples, and Xuan Guang Cave has numerous disciples, totaling seventy-two, but their strength is inferior. As for the Martial Temple... you should have seen their strongest members."
Seen them? Shen Yi hesitated. She couldn't be referring to the elderly man with dementia and the twelve corpses, could she?
If that was the case, he would have to seriously consider the issue of leaving.
The Demon Suppression Division was already lacking, and he hadn't expected their superiors to be even more lacking.
"What are the requirements to join the Immortal Sect?"
"..."
For the first time, Jiang Qiuluan fell silent. She then looked at the young man and said, "Don't... at least not for now. Don't have such thoughts."
She had never interfered with anyone's choices.
Even back at Xitai Mountain, knowing the dangers that lay ahead, she had explained the situation, and when they chose to follow her, she hadn't said another word to dissuade them.
But this time, Jiang Qiuluan's expression was solemn, and her usually pale face was serious.
"Even if you go there, you won't find what you're looking for. The methods to break through to the Mixed Primordial Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm vary greatly and depend on one's own efforts, insights, and seizures. It's not something that can be taught, which is why they are known as Grand Masters."
"I'm sure you'll figure it out yourself." There was trust in the young woman's eyes.
"Thanks, but no thanks."
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at her. He didn't know where this sudden confidence came from, but the thought that others also had to rely on their own insights and slowly grind their way through made him feel much better. After all, that's how he had survived this far.
When it came to cultivation, Jiang Qiuluan was clearly very interested. "However, there is a method to cultivating the Yin Spirit. Over the years, the Martial Temple has accumulated twenty-three different methods to achieve the Golden Body. Mastering one of them is the key to reaching the realm of Spirit Transformation."
From Golden Core to Martial Immortal, and then from Martial Immortal to Spirit Transformation.
Compared to the Mixed Primordial Martial Artists, this was still a shortcut.
However, taking shortcuts always came at a cost, as evidenced by the current state of the Martial Temple.
"I understand."
Shen Yi stood up and pushed open the door.
Indeed, his initial decision to cultivate in both paths was correct. At least, if one path were to become impassable, he would still have other options.
Regardless, he would first focus on condensing his Yin Spirit.
...
Linjiang County, Demon General's Mansion.
Chen Qanck looked at the two young people before him. Although only a few days had passed, he was still so excited that his palms were trembling.
"Did you succeed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head vigorously.
What a stupid question.
If they had failed, how could they be standing here so casually?
The old man stood up and began pacing in the room, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. Finally, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He pondered for a long while. "Can I finally get some real rest?"
He had originally planned to continue looking after Shen Yi for a while, but ever since the young man killed the Flood Dragon in front of him, Chen Qanck couldn't think of any other way he could be of help.
"I've been thinking of visiting my colleagues in other counties..."
After sending out his last letter, he hadn't received a single reply.
It was quite unsatisfying.
"I'll be staying here for a while."
Shen Yi nodded. He had originally planned to use up the wish power that belonged to him before considering other options.
But since Old General Chen wanted to visit his friends, he might as well borrow the incense wish power of the Linjiang County Demon Suppression Division.
"We must not delay."
Chen Qanck took out a jade plaque and casually placed it on the table.
It was clear that being confined to Linjiang County for hundreds of years had taken a toll on the old man.
"..."
Shen Yi was slightly touched.
Although he had intended to cultivate his Yin Spirit, he also wanted to pay Chen Qanck a visit to express his gratitude for the old general's help in the past.
However, he had been busy slaying demons outside and hadn't found the time.
Unexpectedly, their conversation had taken a turn, and now the old general was leaving.
"Feel free to do as you please."
Chen Qanck waved his hand and strode out. At this point, he had absolute confidence in the young man. As long as Shen Yi was here, unless the Demon King himself arrived, nothing would go wrong.
Do whatever he wants?
Shen Yi picked up the jade plaque, raising an eyebrow.
The old man had said it himself.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Qiuluan looked at Chen Qanck's departing back and then at the subtle change in Shen Yi's expression.
She remembered that Shen Yi had a similar expression when he went to see the Little Demon King.
The subordinate at the door was very observant and arranged for the two of them to stay in adjacent courtyards.
Shen Yi returned to his room.
Holding the jade plaque.
As he closed his eyes, a vast white mist surged from all directions, filling his entire field of vision!
