Chapter 397: Hurry Up, I'll Pretend I Didn't See You
"What are you doing?"
Li Qingfeng retreated to his senior sister's side and nudged her with his elbow, "What's with the sudden madness? Can't you act normal for once?"
"I..."
Lingxi cleared her throat, hiding the fear in her eyes, and stood there dumbfounded.
The others also noticed the strangeness of this senior cultivator.
Zhu Jue furrowed his brows slightly.
It seemed that Lingxi Zhenren knew Shen Shidi, but more than that, she seemed to be afraid of him.
It was a complex emotion, as if she wanted to escape but couldn't bring herself to do so.
How bizarre!
"How's your cultivation going?"
Shen Yi seemed to ignore the others and asked directly.
"Not bad."
Jiang Qiulan pursed her red lips, staring at the young man's face, and a barely noticeable longing appeared in her eyes, "Master said that after some more time, I can consider absorbing the second spirit root. Wutong Mountain is very prosperous, and they've prepared a superior spirit root for me."
"Don't use those things from them."
Shen Yi shook his head and took out three Soul Transformation Pills, handing them over, "Use these, and if it's not enough, come back to me."
According to the records left by the Southern Yang Sect.
External spirit roots are inferior, using Soul Transformation Pills is considered mid-tier, and only self-condensed spirit roots are considered top-tier.
While he couldn't reach the threshold of the latter, there was also no need to use external objects. Obtaining a mid-tier one was already quite good.
"Thank you."
Jiang Qiulan took the pills but kept staring at Shen Yi's eyes.
Compared to the pills, his actions were actually telling her something else.
From now on, the two of them were no longer the small cultivators hiding from the search in Black Light Cave, and they no longer needed to conceal their identities. They could openly tell everyone that they were colleagues from Qingzhou.
Given Shen Yi's cautious personality.
The fact that he gave these three pills in front of so many people was enough to prove that he had the confidence and strength to control the situation.
"I've missed you."
Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath and suddenly let down her guard.
Only Shen Yi could understand her sudden words.
This was just how this woman was.
Li Qingfeng sniffed the rich medicinal fragrance and, without any sense of propriety, stared at him as he approached, "What's this? Let me see!"
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
He marveled, but even after exclaiming for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, "I don't recognize it."
Although he didn't recognize it, at the moment the pill appeared.
Almost everyone looked at the pill in Jiang Qiulan's palm, and a hint of intoxication appeared on their faces uncontrollably.
The immortal pill that could bring about changes in the entire Li Zhou was now so easily within sight.
"You're not the only one with gifts."
Xu Wanyun sniffed the pill's fragrance and glanced at the little girl.
"..."
Xu Qing'er pinched her waist and gritted her teeth, "You're so annoying."
Taking advantage of Shen Yi's noticeably relaxed expression.
Li Qingfeng took out his storage bag straightforwardly and started to get to the point, "What I mean is, Master asked me to give this to you, as long as you..."
Shen Yi took the storage bag and glanced inside, seeing that it was filled with demon cores.
There were several times more than what he had lost earlier.
The coldness in his eyes lessened a little.
He casually put it away in his sleeve and then averted his gaze, as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, I'm not done talking yet, don't be so rude!"
Li Qingfeng was so agitated that he stomped his feet. Shen Yi had brought his black market dealings to Wutong Mountain, and in front of so many people, too! Disgusting!
"Do you think there's no one on Wutong Mountain? Senior Sister, look at him!"
He couldn't beat Shen Yi, but there was still Lingxi behind him.
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yi nodded towards the distance, "Come here."
Then, he turned around and went back to the wooden house.
"..."
Everyone looked at Lingxi, and they saw her freeze for a moment before silently following the young man into the house, closing the door behind her.
Bang.
Li Qingfeng tugged at his hair, his eyes wide.
Who could tell him what was going on with this scene before him?
The senior sister he had always worried about getting angry and making mistakes seemed to have become a mute fool since seeing Shen Yi.
Not only did she not say anything sarcastic, but she didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
Was this still his arrogant senior sister?
"I feel my heart is beating a little fast."
Wu Daoan leaned on Zhu Jue, and as an old man, he couldn't bear such a shock.
Shen Shidi's every move was like dancing on the edge of a sword.
Even at this moment, the people from Wutong Mountain had yet to lose their temper, and even their group from Great Tian felt a sense of shame.
"Shen Shidi must have his own plans... I suppose."
Zhu Jue appeared calm, but in reality, he was just as flustered.
Even if Great Tian grew at an incredible pace, how could they possibly be a match for Wutong Mountain?
Not to mention all the disciples.
The Wutong Mountain Ancestor alone was enough to surpass the Three-Faction Alliance combined.
"..."
Jiang Qiulan carefully put away the pill, and she didn't even ask about its specific effects.
How could something given by Shen Yi harm her?
She raised her eyes and looked at the house, a hint of curiosity flashing in her gaze.
Based on her understanding of Ling Xi, he had never shown such a docile demeanor, not even when facing Nie Jun.
Could it be that he had also witnessed the grandeur of that mountain?
That shouldn't be the case.
In Jiang Qiulan's memory, Ling Xi had only left the mountain once.
Moreover, they were just discussing matters; why did they need to close the door?
...
As everyone was deep in thought, Ling Xi leaned against the wooden door, staring intently at the calm face before him.
His body felt weak.
He could mistake anyone, but he would never forget this face.
Right under the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign, he had transformed into the Golden-Eyed Lion before his very eyes.
Ling Xi Zhenren's breathing became more rapid, and he finally spoke in a barely audible voice, "You should leave and not harm others. I'll pretend I never saw you... I won't tell Master or Nie Jun. Please, just go."
"..."
Shen Yi looked on in silence, and he finally understood the origin of Nie Jun's five swords.
This idiot.
He had indeed misunderstood the entire situation.
Even now, he believed himself to be the transformed Golden-Eyed Lion.
After a long silence, Shen Yi kicked over a chair and said softly, "Sit."
"I won't sit..."
Ling Xi spoke while nervously leaning against the chair.
He truly had no confidence in defeating this lion.
The savage manner in which he had killed the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign was still vivid in his memory. Aside from cultivation and skill, the sheer killing intent alone was something he could never match.
The overwhelming demonic power and formidable demonic body were all too real.
Why were the people of Great Tian still so respectful towards him? Could it be that he had never harmed anyone in front of others and had never shown any weakness?
"How did you break through to the Profound Spirit Perfection?"
Shen Yi also sat down.
Ling Xi remained stunned for a long time before realizing that the other party was not mocking him but asking a serious question.
"I... I just stayed on the mountain... taking pills and cultivating... doing nothing... slowly merging with the heavenly vital energy."
"Then why don't you have a Dao Palace?"
Shen Yi looked at him speechlessly. So, the so-called Dao Heart wasn't as grand as he thought.
Someone like him, who only ate and slept, with no room in his heart for anything else, didn't have any profound insights to speak of. It was because there was nothing to unblock in the first place.
"Master believes I don't need to cultivate a Dao Palace... There's only one Palace Sealing Artifact, and it's meant for Nie Jun."
Ling Xi had never confided in his fellow disciples, but at this moment, under the gaze of those pitch-black eyes, he blurted out his thoughts.
"What is a Palace Sealing Artifact?"
Shen Yi didn't hold back and took this opportunity to ask everything at once.
After all, it was hard to find another high-level cultivator as clueless as him.
"I can't... Master said that a Dao Palace is like a painting, and a sealing artifact is like a seal."
Ling Xi Zhenren felt his breathing become more labored, but he couldn't help but continue explaining, "No matter how beautiful a painting is, it needs a final seal to truly stabilize and achieve the Void Return Realm."
"That sealing artifact is the crudest of tools, but it was one of the two things Master risked his life to bring back from the sect."
"What's the other one?"
Shen Yi stood up and walked in front of him, placing his hands on the armrests and leaning forward to look at him.
Looking at the face so close to him.
Ling Xi Zhenren's body tensed up, enveloped by the overwhelming sense of oppression, almost fainting.
He uttered the last two words.
"Dao Token."
