Chapter 398: Shen Yi's Reciprocation
Chapter 398: Shen Yi's Reciprocation
Shen Yi admitted that he intended to give the other party a sense of oppression.
But he really didn't expect a grand master of that level to pass out so neatly and decisively.
He still remembered how this woman had pounded on the Abyssal Spider Emperor like a madwoman the last time.
No matter how fierce he looked, he couldn't be uglier than that spider, could he?
"..."
Letting go of the armrest, Shen Yi turned and pushed the door open.
Li Qingfeng's face, filled with doubt, greeted him immediately.
"Where's the master?"
Outside the array Shen Yi set up casually, Qingfeng Zhenren couldn't hear anything even if he strained his ears.
"Inside."
Shen Yi casually stepped aside and walked towards Wu Daoan and Zhu Jue, the two senior brothers.
As he led the two, who were bewildered, down the mountain.
A sharp scream from Qingfeng Zhenren rang out from the small house behind them: "Ah!!!”
"Hmm?"
Wu Daoan curiously looked at Shen Yi.
With this scream, he was even more curious about what had just happened inside the house.
But that gossipy heart was soon attracted by what was in the other's hand: "What is this?"
"These are the cultivation techniques I transcribed."
Shen Yi handed over the thick stack of books.
Fearing that someone would notice something amiss, he only brought out two array jade slips and left the rest in the Law-Hiding Pavilion.
During his free time from refining pills these days, he had copied them all out.
"Could it be, another Exalted-level cultivation technique?!”
Wu Daoan's eyes widened, completely unmoved by Shen Yi's calm expression.
The last time Shen Yi gave him the Fire Heart Palm, he had the same nonchalant expression.
"Not exactly," Shen Yi shook his head.
"I knew it... This is too much..." Wu Daoan smiled awkwardly, and his smile quickly froze on his face.
"There are also Returning Void techniques."
Upon hearing this,
Zhu Jue discreetly supported Wu, preventing him from dropping the pile of cultivation techniques.
"Relax, I can hold it," Wu Daoan stumbled, and when he looked down, he felt as if he were holding a pile of burning coals.
He stared blankly at the young man before him.
What had the Martial Temple given him? Aside from the things Shen Yi had exchanged for with his merits, it was just a potential abyssal longsword and some insignificant incense offerings.
Yet Shen Yi's reciprocation was a path to the heavens.
Old Wu suddenly felt extremely guilty.
"Senior Brother Zhu,"
Shen Yi turned to the side and patted his storage treasure again.
"Please give your instructions, Junior Brother Shen."
Zhu Jue didn't expect that there was something for him as well.
The next moment, he saw the immortal pills that had made the elders of Wutong Mountain salivate.
There were twelve in total.
Shen Yi handed them over nonchalantly, "This is called the Exalted Elixir, and it can help a Mixed-Elemental cultivator break through their realm. You can distribute them as you see fit."
"..."
Zhu Jue struggled to remain calm and reached out to take the pills, but his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed him. Even his thousands of years of cultivated mentality in the Martial Treasury was shaken at this moment.
Technically speaking, if you don't count Shen Yi, who has been away for a long time, the strongest cultivator in the Martial Temple is the Old Ancestor, who is muddle-headed and confused.
If a group of Exalted cultivators suddenly appeared.
The Martial Temple, with its Yin Spirit as the main body, might even lose its position.
But the prolonged decline of the Great Qian Dynasty had already chosen a suitable candidate for them. That group of Mixed-Elemental cultivators, who had abandoned their cultivation and could only act as dogs for the Xuan Guang Cave, helping the Great Qian Dynasty to prolong its lifespan, finally had hope for a breakthrough.
Zhu Jue was truly excited for that group of crude martial artists.
Having once been a Peak cultivator who couldn't enter the Returning Void realm, he naturally understood the thoughts of that group of Peak Mixed-Elemental cultivators the best.
"I've already taken some. These are the remaining ones," Shen Yi said, with no intention of pushing the matter further. He had a vague premonition.
The strange behavior of the Thousand Demon Cave, the Demon Emperors guarding the treasure sites and their lairs, and the so-called "old dog" who had yet to show his face—all of it was peculiar.
As for the ancient ancestor of Wutong Mountain, who was desperately prolonging his life and had protected a palace-guarding treasure while solely focusing on nurturing Nie Jun, it was clear that something was afoot.
Such actions were odd.
After all, if Shen Yi were in their shoes, he would much rather place his hopes on himself.
Perhaps the resources within the Nanyang Sect were insufficient for a Returning Void cultivator to continue on their path, leaving them no choice but to wait for their lifespan to run out.
He couldn't accept such an ending.
If possible, Shen Yi wanted to venture out and see the wider world.
But before he left, he had to repay the debt he owed to the Martial Temple.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way," Shen Yi said, nodding slightly. He then flew off into the distance under the watchful eyes of the two.
Although he had experienced countless goodbyes, Wu Daoan still felt a sense of surrealness. "Do you think… that Junior Brother Shen has been so busy all this time because of these things in our possession?"
Zhu Jue carefully put away the Nascent Soul Pills, his eyes filled with worry. "Have you ever considered that treasures like these might not exist anywhere else in the world?"
The Thousand Demon Cave…
A place surrounded by demons, Shen Yi's every step there would require extreme caution and fear. If he were to be noticed by those great Demon Emperors, it would spell certain doom.
"What's going on?"
Hearing voices, Li Qingfeng stepped out of the house just in time to see a figure disappearing into the distance.
His mouth twitched as he asked in disbelief, "He's leaving just like that? He took the Demon Pills and didn't even bother to hear us out?"
He had considered the possibility of being rejected.
Li Qingfeng had even prepared himself for a scolding when he returned, but he never imagined that things would end this way.
"It wouldn't have made a difference if he had stayed," Lingxi, who had been awakened by the Clear Heart Sutra, slowly walked out of the room, her expression complex as she stared at the horizon. "He won't be coming back with us."
"Aren't you going to explain what just happened after you closed the door?" Li Qingfeng asked, suddenly remembering something and turning around.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiuluan walked over without changing her expression, standing by his side as she had before. However, her slightly clenched fist betrayed the fact that she, too, was curious.
"It's... it's nothing," Lingxi stammered, her eyes darting around as her cheeks reddened.
She couldn't very well tell them that she hadn't even had a chance to fight back before being scared unconscious by the young man.
After witnessing what had transpired that day, Lingxi felt a newfound trust in Shen Yi. After all, despite the circumstances, he hadn't devoured her.
He had also killed the Tail Demon Emperor and the Dark Spider Emperor before.
Even if he truly were a demon in disguise, he must have had his reasons, and he couldn't be all bad.
"Nothing?" Li Qingfeng asked, his mouth agape as he laughed in disbelief, his eyelids twitching. "You fainted in your chair and you're telling me it's nothing? Your face is as red as a tomato!"
Jiang Qiuluan silently withdrew her gaze and clutched the Nascent Soul Pills tighter. It seemed that the time she had left for herself was running out.
If Shen Yi continued to wander alone...
She dared not imagine who would be the next one to blush in his presence.
