Chapter 394: Lost and Found
Chapter 394: Lost and Found
Practicing the incomplete technique was relatively easier.
With the help of the Azure Deer Ancestor, Shen Yi only needed a hundred years to reach perfection in the Moon Devouring Spirit Condensation Technique.
Next was pill refinement.
He stood up and looked at the furnace in front of him.
"My lord, there's no need to worry, just take it one step at a time."
The Azure Deer Ancestor gave him an encouraging look, "Sir, start with the Fiery Furnace."
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, and the purple-golden flames instantly turned colorless, enveloping the furnace.
"Fire Tribulation Flame! It's a bit too much!"
The Azure Deer Ancestor hopped beside him and quickly said, "First, take a Green Sun Branch."
Shen Yi slightly controlled the flames, and then looked at the pile of medicinal ingredients, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"..."
The Azure Deer Ancestor remained silent for a long time, then forced a loyal smile, "My lord, pill refinement is just a minor path, let's start from the basics."
It was hard for him to imagine that a cultivator wouldn't even recognize such a famous treasure herb?
Did they not need any pills to assist them on their journey? Just as the master and servant began to study pill refinement from scratch, the outside became increasingly lively.
Shen Yi's return was undoubtedly the most important matter in Da Qian.
Even the Li Zhou General rushed to send the news to the Royal City Martial Temple.
As time passed, familiar Yin spirits began to descend upon the area. Since the establishment of the array and the protection of Shen Yi's formidable reputation, their lives had become much easier.
"Do you have nothing better to do?"
Wu Daoan frowned and stopped the crowd at the foot of the mountain.
Facing the resentful gazes of the Yin spirits, he cleared his throat, "I need to discuss martial academy matters with Shen Shidi, so I must be the first."
Zhu Jue helplessly smiled and shook his head, taking his place behind Little Wu.
Just then, a piece of news suddenly spread like wildfire.
The Ten Great Demon Sovereigns appeared in Songzhou, Nie Jun took action, severely injuring Bai Hong, and the Horned Demon Emperor fled.
Then, they pursued the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign, and both disappeared without a trace.
"..."
Hearing these familiar titles, Wu Daoan's face turned pale.
In the past, even the least noticeable among them, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign, could frighten the entire Da Qian Martial Temple into a state of panic, seeking help from Wutong Mountain.
Not to mention the departure of the three great Demon Sovereigns from the Thousand Demons Cave.
This was an unprecedented event in a thousand years.
Zhu Jue's eyes flashed, and he finally understood why Shen Shidi had suddenly returned.
He must have received the news and was worried about Da Qian.
"Disperse, don't disturb him."
Zhu Jue waved his hand, and the numerous Yin spirits retreated, then headed towards Songzhou.
"What's going on?"
Wu Daoan approached his senior brother and asked in a low voice.
Not only now, but even during Da Qian's most prosperous period, it was difficult to get involved in the affairs of the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns.
There were only a few in the world who could match them, and they were all in Wutong Mountain.
"How would I know?"
Zhu Jue smiled helplessly, and under Shen Shidi's leadership, Da Qian's status was rapidly rising.
But this group of ordinary people obviously didn't fit this status.
"Although these words are a bit shameless, we can only wait for Shidi's instructions."
"..."
Wu Daoan cautiously looked towards the top of the mountain, afraid that Shen Yi would be disturbed by his gaze.
The other party always acted alone, but there had never been any issues.
It was just unknown what preparation he was making in that house this time, right under everyone's watchful eyes.
A golden beam shot straight into the sky, like a heavenly path, and a rich medicinal fragrance spread, transforming the entire Armament Sect into a fairyland.
...
Wutong Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.
The beautiful woman finally stood up, and with a wave of her hand, a gorgeous long robe was draped over her thin veil.
She walked out of the cave, and there, in the dark and quiet path, Qingfeng Zhenren stood by with a worried expression, while the youth trapped by the immortal rope leaned nonchalantly against the stone wall.
"Master! It's been half a month!"
Qingfeng Zhenren subconsciously pleaded.
For a Soul Transformation Cultivator, being tied up wasn't a big deal.
What he worried about was that his master's last bit of willpower would be extinguished by this quiet path.
"Get out."
The woman's expression remained unchanged, and the previous laziness in her eyes was gone.
In Li Qingfeng's white face, there was not a trace of pity, only a deep and unfathomable coldness.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around dejectedly and walked out.
The woman walked up to Nie Jun and slowly squatted down, staring at his face.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face, "I don't blame you for sneaking out, but the worst thing you did was to leave a survivor.
"..."
Nie Jun remained silent, turning his head away.
"Do you know what consequences it will lead to if they find out about your current cultivation progress?"
The woman's smile widened, but her palm suddenly lashed out and struck Nie Jun's face.
Slap!
Her delicate, slender jade hand cracked his face, causing even his vital energy to start dissipating.
"Pfft."
Nie Jun spat out a mouthful of blood, then turned to look at the woman again, a mischievous smile appearing on his face, "I did it on purpose."
"Purposely exhausting yourself until you're depleted, and then all the demons escape? If you're not capable, just admit it. No need to be stubborn." The woman mocked softly, then asked curiously, "I don't know where I've wronged you, that you would use such a childish way to oppose me?"
"Ha."
Hearing the term 'Master'...
Nie Jun leaned against the stone wall, laughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath.
Listening to that grating voice...
The woman stood up again and, in an instant, kicked him into the stone wall, her gaze cold and indifferent, "I've said it before. As long as you break through the Reverting Void Realm and leave the Southern Yang Sect, you'll be free to do as you please. Is that so difficult?"
Nie Jun tumbled out of the stone wall, finally stopping his laughter.
He looked at her calmly and said sincerely, "My Dao Heart is not clear, and my thoughts are not open-minded. I can't break through."
"You, a Soul Transformation Cultivator... dare to talk about the Dao Heart with me?"
The woman seemed to have heard something absurd, "Are you even worthy? Do you know that with your cultivation in the Southern Yang Sect, even becoming an Inner Sect Disciple would be a stretch? You can't even walk the path, yet you want to soar to the heavens?"
After hearing this sentence, Nie Jun slowly exhaled, "Whatever."
He had proven his Dao through slaughter, yet in this woman's eyes, he wasn't even qualified to talk about the Dao.
"What do you mean?"
The woman slightly furrowed her brows.
"It means... it's all fine. You can find anyone, I'm not doing it anymore." Nie Jun lay on the ground like a worm, not even bothering with idle chatter, and simply closed his eyes.
"..."
The woman fell silent for a long time, then suddenly clenched her fists.
After a few breaths, she left behind a cold remark, "If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will."
As her words fell, she ignored the youth and stepped over him.
At the same time, three Wutong Mountain disciples heard a call in their ears.
"Let's go down the mountain."
Ling Xi Zhenren, puzzled, walked out of the wooden house. Li Qingfeng, startled, looked up. The last one, Jiang Qiulan, who had been sitting in meditation, slowly opened her eyes.
"Go find that cultivator you mentioned last time."
"I plan to choose a new personal disciple."
Her indifferent words, without any concealment, spread throughout Wutong Mountain and also reached Nie Jun's ears.
He sneered and closed his eyes again.
"The one from last time?"
Ling Xi Zhenren hadn't paid any attention to the previous conversation, her mind entirely focused on vying for Nie Jun's favor.
If it were before, she would have definitely been consumed by jealousy.
Why, after replacing Nie Jun, it still wasn't her turn... But now, she only felt pity for him, wanting to say something but not daring to.
"Sigh."
Qingfeng Zhenren sighed, and in the end, the negotiation fell through.
He had no idea what the problem was.
Wasn't it just staying on the mountain for a while... The fellow disciples had deliberately avoided discussing outside matters in front of him, fearing he would get angry, but in the end, he still exploded.
However, on second thought...
Finding Shen Yi wasn't difficult, as the news of his return to Great Tian had already spread.
But with his personality, would he really follow them back to Wutong Mountain?
To be honest, Qingfeng felt that compared to Shen Yi, even Nie Shixiong was more kind and benevolent. Why bother with this replacement? If they brought back someone else, it would only infuriate her.
"Forget it."
Qingfeng roughly understood his master's intention. Ling Xi was the senior sister, representing Wutong Mountain's attitude, while Jiang Qiulan, being from Great Tian, should know Shen Yi better.
As for himself...
Li Qingfeng shrugged and walked towards Jiang Qiulan, "Do you know if Shen Yi has any favorite items?"
"Favorite..."
Jiang Qiulan thought for a moment and said softly, "It's rumored that he likes Demon Cores."
"Demon Cores?"
Li Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then headed towards Nie Shixiong's house.
Soon, he dug out a large pile of Demon Cores.
Then, he crawled into the Secret Path and squatted next to Nie Jun, "Do you still want your Storage Bag?"
Nie Jun opened his eyelids and looked at him indifferently, "..."
Taking his things to find someone to replace him?
"Don't worry."
Li Qingfeng winked and transmitted his voice, "Rest assured, once that kid... Fellow Daoist Shen arrives, we'll find a way to save you. He definitely has a solution."
