Chapter 268: Flame Scorching Heart Palm
Chapter 268: Flame Scorching Heart Palm
Shen Yi reached out with his divine sense and touched the jade slip.
Countless tiny words flooded into his mind.
After he finished processing them, a new line of text quietly appeared on the panel.
【Spirit Transformation (Treasure) .Flame Scorching Heart Palm Volume 1: Not Yet Initiated】
"..."
Shen Yi had hovered in the air for a while earlier, and after listening to the conversation between the group, he had guessed that what they had obtained might not be simple.
The reason was that Xuan Guang Cave had clearly arranged for disciples to guard outside the Immortal Mansion.
Zheng Zisheng was alone, yet he still took the risk to snatch it.
This showed that he was even unwilling to let his fellow disciples know about the existence of this treasure and wanted to keep it for himself.
It turned out to be a rare technique in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"A fragmented scroll."
Shen Yi glanced at the thick book and then opened it.
The words on it were neatly written, and there were even annotations.
After reading the preface, Shen Yi roughly understood.
The owner of the Immortal Mansion had obtained this technique's Flame Scorching Heart Palm volume by chance but could never find the Heart Burning volume, which piqued his curiosity. He decided to deduce it himself.
This was why this technique was placed in the pavilion for rest.
It was a lucky find for Shen Yi and his group.
Shen Yi calmed his mind and continued reading, a hint of joy in his eyes. Although he couldn't understand it very well, he could tell from the owner's notes that this technique had already been deduced to about eighty to ninety percent.
Only the final touches were left.
This was the best thing for him.
Not only would it save his lifespan, but with the guidance of a predecessor, he wouldn't have to worry about it being randomly modified into demonic martial arts.
However, there was a problem that he couldn't avoid.
Whether it was Primordial martial arts or Spirit Transformation techniques, they all required a Spirit Root to begin cultivation.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi glanced at A Qing, who was seriously organizing her storage pouch.
If he guessed correctly, her real name should be Xu Qing'er.
The family that had offended Xuan Guang Cave and then went into hiding with their entire clan, a family known for their array techniques.
Her previous emotional changes were most likely due to knowing about the news of the supreme Spirit Root with Malevolent Aura.
He needed to find a way to get the information from them.
However, it wouldn't be easy to gain the trust of a family that had been wronged by outsiders and was now cautious, like a snake bitten once, fearing the well rope for ten years.
Shen Yi didn't consider using underhanded methods.
Back in Boyun County, when his life was in danger, he hadn't even pointed his long sword at Lin Baiwei to force her to hand over the technique.
Now that he had some means to protect himself, why would he do something to disgust himself?
Moreover, Xuan Guang Cave had captured over a hundred members of the Xu family, and they still hadn't been able to find the Xu family to take revenge. Such a cautious family wouldn't be easily intimidated by capturing a young girl, and he didn't want to offend them unnecessarily.
He'd take it slow.
"Grandmaster Shen, look at this!"
A Qing exclaimed with delight, holding a small furnace with a unique design in her palm: "It's Wutong Mountain's Spirit Gathering Furnace! Its value is comparable to a treasure!"
"What's a Spirit Gathering Furnace?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.
"This is Wutong Mountain's secret that is not passed down. It can gather the essence of heaven and earth to aid cultivation. Only those at the True Master realm can use it, and it is occasionally bestowed upon favored named disciples... Hey, how did it end up in a Xuan Guang Cave disciple's storage pouch?"
A Qing blinked, as if realizing something, and quickly put the item into her storage artifact.
This thing was too hot to handle.
Shen Yi also raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, the last time he heard about a named disciple of Wutong Mountain being killed, the Blood Feather Demon Emperor who did it seemed to have been chased down mercilessly.
"You look at the others first."
He reached out and took the storage pouch, changing the subject: "If you were that Zhang Zhenren, where would you go after entering the Immortal Mansion?"
"Is that so..."
A Qing didn't dare to be careless and began to think carefully.
After all, the Grandmaster was definitely trying to avoid that True Master, and if he pointed the wrong way, it might cause great trouble for the other party.
"The most important thing in a Daoist mansion is the Law Storage Pavilion, but Xuan Guang Cave has been explored once before, and it's known that the owner of this mansion is an Artisan. So, he will most likely go there to take a look."
A Qing pointed in a certain direction, "During the free time between crafting divine artifacts, he can come to this pavilion to rest. Moreover, this direction is where the flames are the strongest in the entire array. Entering from here should lead us to the Artisan's workshop."
He continued, "If you want to avoid Xuan Guang Cave, you can leave now, because neither the workshop nor the Law Storage Pavilion can be breached in just a few days."
Shen Yi looked in the direction A Qing pointed, but he couldn't see anything beyond the mountains, rivers, and white clouds.
Each profession has its own specialization, and besides improving his cultivation realm, it was also time for him to learn something else. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to make fun of him as a brute with only raw strength.
He lightly tapped his chin and turned his head to give Chen Zhong, who was standing at a distance, a glance. Then, he followed A Qing and flew in that direction.
"Senior..."
Chen Zhong was actually reluctant to venture deeper.
He had a vague sense of unease in his heart.
The Thousand Demon Cavern was obviously well-prepared, and their target was most likely Zhang Mingyang.
The previous Demon Kings might have just been there as a decoy.
To kill a Transcendent Deity like Zhang Mingyang, there must be a Demon Emperor involved, and one who was confident in crushing Zhang Mingyang.
Even if, hypothetically, the Thousand Demon Cavern wasn't involved,
Once Zhang Mingyang saw him, following their usual routine, Chen Zhong would always be the one sent to scout ahead.
Several Grandmasters from Da Qian had perished this way.
It was only because Chen Zhong's cultivation was slightly deeper and he had more experience that he had managed to survive until now.
"Forget it."
Being away from home, he had no choice but to follow orders.
The old man shook his head and exerted all his strength to urge his Dao Infant to follow.
"..."
Didn't he want to avoid Xuan Guang Cave?
A Qing was grabbed by the back of his collar, and the strong wind blowing in his face made his whole body sway.
He actually wanted to say that he also had a cloud-riding treasure.
However, after quietly glancing at Shen Yi's calm profile, he decided to keep his mouth shut. Although Shen Yi was usually silent and spoke little, when he took action, he was not at all polite. It was better for A Qing to stay quiet.
When he got used to the noise,
He curiously looked around and then said softly, "Shen Grandmaster, we're almost there."
Shen Yi slightly nodded and quickly descended from the red cloud.
With a wave of his hand, the pitch-black cloak was draped over his body.
The harvest of Spirit Roots and Techniques had already made him quite satisfied, but he continued to venture deeper, hoping to find something even more valuable.
If he could encounter a heavily injured Demon Emperor...
This harvest would be far more precious than any treasure.
"You should have a breath-concealing item, right?" Shen Yi glanced at him.
"I do!"
A Qing began to rummage through his storage pouch again.
He quickly took out three palm-sized array disks and handed them to Shen Yi and Chen Zhong, who was behind him, teaching them how to use them.
Although Shen Yi had Qinghua's cloak, he wouldn't refuse any breath-concealing items.
It would be best if he could hide himself completely.
"This... Thank you."
Chen Zhong took the array disk and glanced at it.
His pupils suddenly constricted.
He seemed to have recognized something and secretly glanced at A Qing. However, with Shen Yi present, he decided to keep his guess to himself.
