Chapter 444: The Golden Fire Sparrow Demon and the Tranquilizing Stone
Inside the bamboo building of Qingyue Sect, Elder Liu sat behind a desk, carefully flipping through the pages of a book.
For cultivators at the White Jade Capital stage, this period was indeed emotionally complex.
They had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation journey.
With vast lifespans that had nowhere to be used, they could only sit idly, waiting for an opportunity.
Taking one more step would lead to immortality.
But this step might be so difficult that one could fall before taking it.
Therefore, compared to jade slips, Liu Shiqian preferred to pass the time with books.
Just then, footsteps approached from outside the door.
He closed the book and lifted his gaze.
An elderly man, also dressed in an elder's robe, walked in. His hair was white, but his face was youthful, and his vitality seemed even more youthful than Liu Shiqian, who looked like a middle-aged man.
"An elder from another sect just sent me a message. Do you want to hear about it?" Elder Chiyang sat down next to the desk.
The two were longtime friends, so they didn't stand on ceremony.
He spoke directly, "It's about the Nanyang Treasure Ground. I heard that you've been taking good care of that group of youngsters lately."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shiqian withdrew his gaze, "I'm not interested."
"Why are you being so stubborn?"
Elder Chiyang shook his head helplessly and said with a faint smile, "This matter must come to a conclusion. You know, including elders and personal disciples, even if there are only ten or twenty people in a sect, the seven sons of Nanhong, together with the Qingyue Sect cultivators, add up to nearly a hundred White Jade Capital cultivators."
"All these people, including you and me, are waiting for a treasure ground."
"Now that we finally have one, you insist on pretending not to see it. Aren't you afraid of your Dao heart crumbling?"
Elder Chiyang's calm words did not move Liu Shiqian; instead, they made him even more serene, "My Dao heart will only crumble if I truly reach out."
"Haha."
Elder Chiyang finally laughed out loud, "I knew you'd say that, so I came to chat with you."
He put away his smile, "The news of the Nanyang Treasure Ground being rediscovered has reached the six sect leaders, but they haven't issued an imperial decree. This is intriguing, as it has stirred everyone's thoughts."
"The elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect and others have proposed a solution."
"That young man with the surname Shen, by reopening the grand array and taking the lead, can be recognized as the sect leader. As long as he doesn't make a grave mistake, this position will be his for life. The Seven Sons Alliance can be established as a covenant."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shiqian slowly furrowed his brows.
He believed that there were good people in the world, but they certainly didn't exist among the White Jade Capital cultivators. These people were like hungry wolves, and now that they had seen the fat, how could they possibly let it go?
Sure enough, Elder Chiyang's tone changed, "Their idea is to establish a new position of Dao Guardian Elder within the Nanyang Sect. First, merge the Dao with Nanyang, and then produce another great master in the Primordial Chaos Realm for our seven sects. This will also make it easier to take care of the Nanyang Sect's youngsters and help them cultivate with peace of mind."
"When it comes time to pass down the Fusion Dao Site, the young man with the surname Shen will still be given priority, provided he has the cultivation of the White Jade Capital."
Elder Chiyang hadn't finished speaking.
A complex smile appeared on Liu Shiqian's face, "A sect without a Fusion Dao Site leader? What priority is there? You want his treasure ground, and you want his life too."
The former was already too much.
The latter seemed like compensation, but in reality, it was a death warrant.
The idea of an heir without the protection of a sect leader was unimaginable.
If Shen Yi were fortunate enough to live to see that day, he would experience what a true 'accident' was.
"..."
Elder Chiyang remained silent for a long time, then shook his head and smiled, "That's why I opposed it, and they got so angry that I had to leave. I could only come to you, old stick-in-the-mud, for a chat."
"But it's better than them being too lazy to inform you."
"..."
Liu Shiqian reopened his book, "Let them fight over it, there's still plenty of time."
"I know, and what I mean is, if you really want to help him, why not talk to him clearly? If he truly has talent and pairs it with a mature mindset, take him as a personal disciple. Although he may not become a sect leader, he'll have a chance to be an elder in the future."
"It's just an empty title, not that important."
Elder Chiyang stood up to take his leave and turned to exit the bamboo building.
Liu Shiqian silently stared at the other's retreating back, and after a long while, he slowly sighed.
Why was it that a pack of wolves, accustomed to hunger, suddenly had an extra piece of meat?
It was a pity that Senior Xuan Qing had become like this; otherwise, even if they were to choose a Dao Guardian Elder, it wouldn't be anyone else's turn. This would have calmed everyone's hearts.
...
At the Nanyang Sect, two women bowed and said, "Sect Leader Shen, we'll be heading back now."
The Qingyue Treasure Boat slowly disappeared into the clouds.
Shen Yi looked at the Yu Clan members behind him, all of them nervous and filled with fear.
He took out the Dao token and activated the grand array.
As the light curtain appeared, their figures neatly materialized outside the Inner Gate Hall.
Clap!
As they felt the sudden appearance of over a hundred Soul Transformation auras and countless Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators, Li Qingfeng dropped the fan in his hand and finally stopped harassing the Wooden Man. He turned around in shock and rushed out of the hall in terror.
What was going on? An enemy attack?!
Without the sect leader present, his first instinct was to contact Senior Apprentice Brother Nie.
Just as he took out the jade slip, he saw Shen Yi walking out from among the group of creatures that were neither human nor demon.
"Uh..."
Li Qingfeng put down the jade slip and saw Shen Yi gently nodding at him.
"Help them find accommodations within the Inner Gate."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng finally realized that new 'people' had joined the sect.
No, Wutong Mountain has only had more than ten Soul Transformation Cultivators in so many years, but after one trip, Sect Leader Shen brings back over a hundred?
If the other party wasn't there, who could suppress these powerful beings?
"If there's anything you need, feel free to ask him."
Shen Yi pointed to Li Qingfeng and then took a step to leave, eager to refine the Heavenly Phoenix Pill again.
"..."
Li Qingfeng swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm.
Even with his silver tongue, at this moment, he couldn't utter a word.
Just then, an old woman emerged from the crowd.
As she approached, Li Qingfeng suddenly felt a chilling aura.
Higher than his master... No, it should be similar to Qingyue Sect's Administrator Liu.
Just as his face twitched slightly,
The old woman bowed respectfully, "Yu Clan pays respects to the Upper Immortal. We don't have many needs, but if we could get a little closer to the lake, that would be best."
Upper Immortal?
Li Qingfeng clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve.
If he embarrassed Sect Leader Shen, he wouldn't get similar tasks in the future.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his emotions and said, "Follow me, everyone."
During these days, Li Qingfeng had not only accompanied and cared for Senior Xuanqing but also memorized all the Inner Gate news sent by others.
"Sigh."
As the crowd dispersed, Yan Wencheng couldn't help but head towards the Dharma Hall.
He had wanted to use this opportunity to chat more with Sect Leader Shen.
As an Array Formation master, why had he never seen him review anything related to arrays? Strange.
At the same time,
Shen Yi had found an undisturbed cave abode.
He took out his worn-out Purple Gold Furnace, caressed it with a hint of emotion, and after many days, he finally had another chance to improve.
He took out the silver bell and began collecting the essence blood of the four Golden Fire Sparrows.
But he didn't rush to start the furnace.
Instead, he looked at the demonic lifespans.
The biggest harvest was the young sparrow.
[Kill Golden Fire Sparrow Demon at Returning Void Realm, total lifespan 210,000 years, remaining lifespan 140,000 years, absorption complete]
However, the old sparrow demon was less impressive, with only over 10,000 years left.
Together, the four sparrows amounted to about 270,000 years.
Fortunately, there was some leftover from the last time, or else it wouldn't be enough to reshape these four Golden Fire Sparrows.
[Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 394,000 years]
Shen Yi first condensed a Tranquilizing Stone statue and placed the Golden Sparrow Heir's flesh and blood inside.
Then, he prepared the second statue.
Just as he was about to put the Returning Void Realm Layer Four old sparrow into it, he suddenly discovered that the river of flesh and blood did not flow into the second Tranquilizing Stone but instead entered the Golden Sparrow Heir statue.
"..."
Shen Yi opened his eyes in surprise, wondering what it meant.
Could it be that demons of the same bloodline couldn't create a second Tranquilizing Stone?
He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and decided to pour all the four sparrow corpses into it.
He couldn't afford to waste it.
As the flesh and blood flowed in, the Golden Fire Sparrow statue became clearer, even its details changing.
The feathers grew longer and smoother, and the beak also lengthened significantly.
It was as if some transformation was occurring.
Shen Yi frowned, unsure if he had gained or lost, but he originally needed four demonic souls, and now he only needed one.
He skillfully gathered seven demonic origins and reshaped the Golden Sparrow Heir's divine soul.
However, this process, which he had tried several times before, had an unexpected outcome.
The Golden Sparrow Heir's demonic soul was insufficient to support the statue's awakening...
"Huff."
Shen Yi exchanged and fed one demonic origin after another.
After feeding eight demonic origins, the panel finally changed.
[Returning Void (Rare): Golden Sparrow Heir]
Shen Yi really wanted to know if there was more to the 'Rare' suffix, but now there wasn't much demonic lifespan left, and he couldn't afford to waste it on a single Dao Pillar.
He sent the demonic soul into the Tranquilizing Stone again.
This time, the Golden Fire Sparrow statue finally gained color, but it looked completely different from the Golden Sparrow Heir's appearance in life. The brilliant golden feathers had a touch of crimson at the tips, and the eyes, a mix of ink green and gold, now had much less ink green.
The body seemed to have grown an entire circle larger.
Shen Yi directly pinched the incantation, and the Measure Pillar was placed nearby.
In an instant, golden light erupted.
Before anyone could react, it surpassed the Third Rank line and continued to surge! It only stopped just a quarter away from the Second Rank line.
"Hiss."
Shen Yi clenched his palm subconsciously.
According to his original speculation, to condense a Second Rank Dao Pillar, he would need at least a Returning Void Realm Layer Six demon, equivalent to Qingyue Sect's Outer Sect Elder, an overbearing existence in the outside world.
Now, it was probably at the Returning Void Realm Layer Five level.
He suddenly felt reluctant to place it in the Dao Palace.
Of course, Shen Yi wasn't confused about priorities.
Li Xuanqing had used three things stronger than this and only broke through to Returning Void Realm Layer Four. Only with more substantial accumulation could one achieve higher realms.
Otherwise, how could he be a direct disciple?
"Let's try the Spirit Body Technique first."
Shen Yi gathered his mind; if the Heavenly Phoenix Indestructible Body could provide some self-protection, then this Dao Pillar was worth using.
Thinking of this, he took out all the remaining precious medicine.
He activated the Departing Fire and began refining the herbs.
