Return of the demon 99 Call of information

Bai Yun slowly walked up to his room. The medics and sewn him up and had given him plenty of pills to refresh the lost blood. But there was nothing they could do about the tiredness due to the fight. So when he reached home, Bai Yun immediately collapsed into his bed.

Bai Yun suddenly felt something come up his throat. Bai Yun then started coughing. When he looked down, he realized that he had coughed up blood. Even though the people at the tournament had done their best, they had only stopped the bleeding and given him some medicines to replace the blood. Bai Yun had escaped before they could finish their treatment. So he still had some hidden injuries left inside him.

Suddenly the door to his room opened up. Old Hai walked in carrying a huge tub of water. There was a strong medicinal scent coming from the water. Inside the tub was a thick black liquid that was made by mixing various medicinal plants in water.

"Thought you might need this." Old Hai said.

"Thanks." Bai Yun replied. Bai Yun quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the tub of water. Old Hai stood there for a while and made sure that Bai Yun was fine before he left, closing the door behind him.

Bai Yun sat in the vat of medicinal water and slowly started to absorb the medicinal effects in it to heal himself. As he lay there, the medicinal effects slowly started to seep into his body.

As he sat in the tub, he felt the tiredness take over his body. Slowly, Bai Yun fell asleep while still in the tub. But even as he was sleeping, his body continued to absorb the medicinal effects of the liquid.

As the night progressed, the medicinal liquid slowly became transparent. More and more of the energy started to seep into Bai Yun's body. A long time passed. Suddenly Bai Yun's god sense started to wake up and started to work on its own. Slowly his body started to cultivate, even though he was asleep.

Just then Bai Yun's aura flared up. The water in the tub started to spin around Bai Yun. Soon a whirlpool formed around him. Then his aura suddenly broke through to new heights. Along with this the small barrier that was stopping his cultivation broke, and he stepped into the eighth stage of the qi condensation realm. But Bai Yun was in a deep sleep and did not notice anything.

Suddenly a powerful sense covered Bai Yun's room. When it saw that Bai Yun had broken through, it was startled and fluctuated for a moment before calming down. It then quickly left.

When Bai Yun finally woke up, it was a day and night later. When he realized that he had broken through while resting, he was pleasantly surprised. His current breakthrough was extremely peaceful and made his foundation exceptionally stable.

Thanks to his rest, strength had returned to his limbs once again. Bai Yun then stood up to find a plate full of food on his table. He was staring and wolfed down the food as fast as he could.

After he ate, Bai Yun stood in front of the mirror. He slowly undid the assassin gods technique he had kept up all the time.

Slowly one by one, scars that he had accumulated started to show itself. On his face was a scar that he got from Song Hui. There were also various cuts and bruises that had scabbed over. Even the places he had gotten stabbed by Zhang Zi's spear had scars.

Bai Yun was able to hide them thanks to the assassin gods disguise technique, but it still annoyed him seeing all those scars.

As Bai Yun stretched his body to see it in the mirror, he was glad to see how far he had come since his rebirth. Even though this body had a great talent, it was completely wasted by his previous condition. Bai Yun had not only quickly raised his cultivation, but he had also made the body very suitable for fighting.

It was then than Bai Yun had remembered the rewards for the youngster's tournament. Thanks to the serious injuries the two of them had suffered in the finals, there was no official ceremony. The rewards were just given to the two of them, and to Bai Qing and Meng Qi without any fanfare.

Bai Yun took out a small packet from his storage ring. The packet consisted of his rewards. He hadn't checked them yet, but he was quite interested in seeing what they were.

The first item that Bai Yun took out was a small crystalline box. He opened the box to find a small red pill inside. There was also a letter inside the box explaining the effects of the pill.

Bai Yun took out the pill and played with it after reading the letter. The pill was a foundation establishment pill. The foundation establishment pill was a pill that aided one in their breakthrough to the foundation establishment realm, increasing their chances of a breakthrough. Depending on the rank and circles of the pill, they could have varying degrees of effectiveness, which could increase one's breath through percentage by different amounts.

But Bai Yun had no use for this item. The cultivation techniques he was using were very powerful. He could breakthrough to the foundation establishment realm even without any external help. So Bai Yun simply put it away.

The second item Bai Yun had was a collection of small stones. When he saw this he was surprised, but he finally had a dejected expression after he studied them for a while.

The stones he held were spirit stones. Spirit stones were small stones that had pure heaven and earth qi imbued in them by nature. This qi tended to be purer than the qi found in nature. Thus it was easier for cultivators to absorb this qi to rapidly icrease their cultivation. For most people absorbing qi from spirit stones was faster than absorbing qi from nature. So they would spend a lot of money to buy spirit stones.

There were four grades of spirit stones, low, middle, high, and perfet. Depending on the grade of spirit stones, the cultivation of people who could absorb them also increased. For example, qi cultivation realm cultivators could only absorb the qi in low grade spirit stones. If they tried to absob the qi in higher grade spirit stones, they would mostly fail. And even if they succeeded, it could still damage their bodies.

The second reward from the youngster's tournament was a thousand low grade spirit stones. The qi in a thousand low grade spirit stones was enough for someone in the peak of qi condensation to breakthrough to foundation establishment a couple times over, even without a foundation establishment pill. But just like the foundation estblishment pill, low grade spirit stones were also useless for Bai Yun.

The reason was the same. His cultiation techniques were of a far too high level. The speed at which he absorbed the qi from nature was so fast that they were even faster than the speed at which you could absorb qi from low grade spirit stones. So these had no use for Bai Yun. It was also because of this that Bai Yun did not buy any spirit stones until now, instead simply training by himself. Only middle or higher grade spirit stones would be useful for him, but he could not stand the qi in them with his current cultivaion.

So Bai Yun dejectedly put the spirit stones away. But it did not mean that the spirit stones were useless. He could use spirit stones instead of money. Based on what he knew, a single low grade spirit stone went for a thousand gold coins. So he could definitely buy a lot of good things with this much money. That thought calmed Bai Yun down a little bit.

Bai Yun then took out the third and final item he got from the youngster's tournament. Bai Yun was surprised to see that it was a large piece of ore. Bai Yun was familiar with all the major blacksmithing materials in the world and he quickly identified the ore as meter heart iron, a very suitable and valuable material for making weapons. It was only found in the remnants meteors that crashed into the earth, making it quite rare.

But the more Bai Yun stared at it, the worse his expression became. There was quite a lot of meteor heart iron ore given to him. But his own sword that his father gave him was made from a much better material. And after infusing chaos aura into it, it became even more powerful. If something was to break that sword, a sword made of meteor heat iron would also break in front of that. So Bai Yun had no idea what to do with this material.

The rewards that he got were not bad, but all of them were useless for Bai Yun. Bai Yun nearly screamed and threw the big ball of ore at the wall in frustration. The ore bounced around the room for a bit before falling on Bai Yun's feet, causing him to curse in pain and hop on his feet.

Bai Yun them laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. There were still three weeks left before the clan meeting. He had no way of making a breakthrough to the ninth stage of qi condensation in that time. He also was severely lacking in resources needed for the body cultivation path, so that he could complete skin sewing. He also could not break through in soul cultivation before the clan meeting. So he had nothing left to do. So Bai Yun figured that he might as well practice his alchemy techniques and his fighting techniques. He may not be able to make a major breakthrough in the remaining time, but he might as well not waste the time.

It was then that Bai Yun's storage ring vibrated. He realized that someone had sent him a message.

Bai Yun opened the ring to find out that the message was from Bai Linger. He frowned when he saw this. He hadn't asked Bai Ling-er to do anything.

"We have found traces of the soul shaking orb. We are looking into it." The sound of Bai Ling-er sounded out from inside his message orb.

Bai Yun had a thoughtful look on his face when he heard this. He had asked them to look into the soul shaking orb a long time ago. After they failed, Bai Yun handed over the information to his parents, in the hope that they could find something out. He was surprised that Bai Ling-er continued to look into this, and even more that they actually found something.

"Be careful." Bai Yun send a message back. "It's not an emergency. If you think things could get serious, retreat immediately."

A few moments later, he got a confirmation from Bai Ling-er. As he thought about them, Bai Yun realized that even after hiring them and asking them to do things for him, he hadn't given them anything in return. He then remembered the meteor heart iron that he received. There was quite a large piece of it. Bai Yun thought that it would be a good idea to forge a few weapons for the two of them as compensation.

In truth, Bai Yun was overthinking things. The two techniques, as well as the cultivation techniques Bai Yun had given them, were things far beyond their imaginations. They could not put a price on these techniques and thought that they owed Bai Yun greatly for them. It was just that they were all truly trash compared to the techniques in Bai Yun's memories, and he did not think much of them, leading to Bia Yun thinking that he had not given them anything in return for their services.

Once Bai Yun decided on what to do, he quickly left his manor and headed to the blacksmith pavilion. Bai Yun had a lot of spirit stones with him, and it could be exchanged for clan points. So Bai Yun could easily spend a lot of time in there. Besides, making weapons from meteor heart iron was far less complicated than extracting chaos aura, so he only needed a little time.

Bai Yun quickly reached the blacksmithing pavilion. He decided to make a couple of knives and a few flying daggers from himself. After that, there should still be enough for two swords for Bai Linger and Bai Shi.

Once he decided on what he was going to do, Bai Yun quickly got to work.
