Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 394 - 392 Regaining What Was Lost

Chapter 394: Chapter 392 Regaining What Was Lost

Unsystematic minor techniques are relatively easy to practice.

With the help of the Qingqiu Ancestor.

Shen Yi took only a little over a hundred years to master the Swallow Moon Gathering Spirit Technique to perfection.

Next was alchemy.

He stood up and looked at the pill furnace in front of him.

“My lord need not worry, just take it one step at a time,”

...

Qingqiu Ancestor gave him an encouraging look, “Begin by heating the furnace.”

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then the purple-gold flame instantly turned colorless and enveloped the pill furnace directly.

“The leaving fire! The leaving fire is a bit too much!”

Qingqiu Ancestor hopped anxiously beside him and quickly said, “First, take a section of the Biyang Branch.”

Shen Yi slightly adjusted the fire and then looked at the pile of herbs with some dizziness.

“…”

Qingqiu Ancestor was silent for a long time before squeezing out a loyal smile, “My lord, alchemy is a minor path, let’s start from the very basics.”

It truly couldn’t imagine that a cultivator wouldn’t recognize such famous Precious Medicines.

Don’t they need Elixirs along the way?

Just as the master and servant began to study alchemy from the beginning, the outside got increasingly lively.

The return of Shen Yi was undoubtedly the most important matter in Great Qian.

Even the Commander in Chief of Li State sent the news to the Imperial City Martial Temple immediately.

As time passed, familiar Yin Gods began to descend here. It was evident that since the Formation was established, and with the protection of Shen Yi’s fierce reputation, their days had gotten much easier.

“Are you all so idle, with no affairs of your own to attend to?”

Wu Dao’an frowned and swept his gaze over, stopping everyone at the foot of the mountain.

Facing a group of disappointed looks from the Yin Gods.

He cleared his throat, “I need to discuss matters of the Martial Institute with junior brother Shen, naturally I should be the first one.”

Zhu Jue smiled helplessly and shook his head, taking his place behind Little Wu.

Just then, a piece of news suddenly spread wildly.

The Ten Great Demon Emperors manifested in Song State, Nie Jun took action, seriously wounded Bai Hong, and the Great Horned fled far. Next, he chased after the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor, and both their whereabouts became unknown.

“…”

Listening to these familiar taboos.

Wu Dao’an’s face twitched.

Even in the past, the most inconspicuous Golden Eyes Lion Emperor could scare the entire Great Qian Martial Temple into disarray, and they could only seek help from Wutong Mountain.

Let alone the three Great Demons leaving the Thousand Demon Cave.

This was an event unseen in hundreds of years.

Zhu Jue’s eyes twinkled, as he finally understood why junior brother Shen suddenly came back.

Presumably, he had received the news and was worried about trouble in Great Qian.

“Disperse, all of you, don’t disturb him,”

Zhu Jue waved his hand, and the numerous Yin Gods tactfully withdrew, then set off towards Song State.

“What’s going on here?”

Wu Dao’an moved closer to his senior brother and asked in a low voice.

Let alone now, even at the height of Great Qian’s might, it was hard to get involved in the affairs of the Ten Great Demon Emperors.

The ones who could spar with them were but a rare few in the world, all within Wutong Mountain.

“How would I know.”

Zhu Jue gave a helpless smile. Under junior brother Shen’s lead, Great Qian’s status was rising swiftly.

But they, a bunch of commoners, clearly did not match this status.

“Shameful as it is to say, we can only wait for junior brother’s commands.”

“…”

Wu Dao’an carefully looked towards the mountain peak, afraid that Shen Yi would be disturbed even by his gaze.

The other always moved alone, yet never encountered any problems.

He wondered, this time, what preparations the other was making inside that house?

And before the eyes of all,

a beam of golden light shot straight into the sky, like a pathway to heaven, with rich medicinal fragrance spreading out, transforming the entire Qi Sect into a fairyland.

…

Wutong Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.

The beautiful woman finally stood up. With a casual wave, a gorgeous long gown was draped over her gauzy outfit.

She stepped out of her cave abode.

In the dark quiet path, Qingfeng Zhenren accompanied her with a worried face, while the young man bound by immortal ropes leaned indifferently against the stone wall.

“Master! It’s been half a month already!”

Qingfeng Zhenren pleaded subconsciously.

To a Transcendent Cultivator, being bound up wasn’t really a big deal.

What he was worried about was that his senior brother’s last bit of spirit would be worn away by this tranquil path.

“Go out.”

The woman’s expression did not change, lacking the laziness from before.

In her fair face, Li Qingfeng could see not a hint of pity, only profound indifference.

After hesitating for a moment, he listlessly turned and walked outside.

The woman walked up to Nie Jun and slowly crouched down, staring at his face.

She suddenly revealed a smile, “I don’t blame you for sneaking out on your own, but the worst thing you did was leave survivors.”

“…”

Nie Jun silently turned his head to one side.

“Do you have any idea what kind of consequences it will bring now that they’re aware of the progress of your cultivation?”

The woman’s smile grew wider, but her palm suddenly struck Nie Jun’s face.

Slap!

That delicate, jade-like hand managed to crack his face upon impact, causing even his spiritual energy to begin dissipating.

“Tch.”

Nie Jun spat out a mouthful of blood and looked back at the woman, a rogue smile appearing on his face, “I did it on purpose.”

“You intentionally exhausted yourself to the point of depletion so that all the demons could escape? If you’re not capable, then you’re not capable. Why be so stubborn?” the woman said lightly, filled with sarcasm, and then curiously added, “I don’t know what I’ve done to you to deserve this childish form of rebellion against me.”

“Ha.”

Hearing the complete address of “me,”

Nie Jun leaned against the stone wall, laughing until he was breathless.

Listening to that grating sound,

The woman stood back up and, with a sudden kick, sent him crashing into the stone wall, her eyes drooping indifferently, “I’ve said that as soon as you break through to Return to Void, you can leave the Nanyang Sect and be free to do whatever you wish in the vast sky and seas. Is that so difficult?”

Nie Jun fell from the wall, finally silencing his laughter.

He looked at her calmly and said earnestly, “My Dao heart is not clear, and my thoughts are not open; I can’t break through.”

“You, a Transcendent Cultivator… talking to me about Dao heart?”

The woman sounded as if she heard something preposterous, “Do you think you are worthy? Do you realize that, with your cultivation in the Nanyang Sect, you barely qualify to be an Inner Sect Disciple? You can’t even find the path, yet you dream of ascending to the heavens in one step?”

After listening to her words intently,

Nie Jun let out a long breath, “Whatever.”

He had cultivated through slaughter, and yet in the eyes of this woman, he still wasn’t worthy to talk about the Dao.

“What do you mean?”

The woman’s brows furrowed slightly.

“It means… anything goes. Find someone else. I’m done,” said Nie Jun as he lay on the ground like a worm, too fed up to engage in any further useless banter, and simply closed his eyes.

“…”

The woman remained silent for a long time, her fingers suddenly clenching into a tight fist.

A few breaths later, she left behind an indifferent remark, “If you don’t want to do it, there are plenty of others who will.”

As her words fell,

She stepped over the young man without giving him another glance.

At the same time, a call rang in the ears of three Wutong Mountain disciples.

“Come down from the mountain.”

Perplexed, Qingfeng Zhenren walked out of the wooden hut, Li Qingfeng looked up in astonishment, and lastly, Jiang Qiulan, who was seated in meditation, slowly opened his eyes.

“Go find the cultivator you mentioned last time.”

“I’ve decided to choose a different Direct Disciple.”

Her calm words, unhidden, spread throughout Wutong Mountain, and also reached Nie Jun’s ears.

He scoffed mockingly and closed his eyes once more.

“The one last time?”

Qingfeng Zhenren hadn’t paid any attention to the previous conversation, absorbed in competing for favor with Nie Jun.

In the past, she would have inevitably felt envious.

Why after replacing Nie Jun, it still wouldn’t be her turn… But now she only felt a bit sorry for him, wanting to say something but not daring to.

“Sigh.”

Qingfeng Zhenren sighed, it had ended in a breakdown after all.

He completely failed to see what the problem was.

Wasn’t it just staying on the mountain for a while? His brothers had deliberately avoided discussing external matters within earshot, for fear of upsetting him, and yet it still blew up in the end.

But on the other hand,

Finding Shen Yi wasn’t difficult; the news of his return to Great Qian had already spread far and wide.

But with his personality, would he really follow them back to Wutong Mountain?

Honestly, Qingfeng felt that compared to Shen Yi, even Nie Shixiong seemed benevolent and kindly. Why bother with another replacement, only to frustrate herself to death?

“Forget it.”

Qingfeng probably understood the master’s intent—Ling Xi was the eldest sister, representing the standpoint of Wutong Mountain, while Jiang Qiulan, being from Great Qian, should be more familiar with Shen Yi.

As for himself,

Li Qingfeng curled his lips and walked towards Jiang Qiulan, “Do you know if Shen Yi fancies anything in particular?”

“Fancies…”

Jiang Qiulan pondered for a moment and replied softly, “Rumor has it that he’s quite fond of Demon Cores.”

“Demons Cores?”

Li Qingfeng hesitated for a moment before heading to Nie Shixiong’s house.

Soon, he found a whole pile of Demon Cores.

Then he made his way into the secluded path and squatted beside him, “Are you still going to need your Storage Bag?”

Nie Jun propped open his eyelids and looked over indifferently, “…”

Using his things to find someone to replace him?

“Don’t rush,”

Li Qingfeng winked and transmitted his voice, “Don’t worry, when that kid… Shen acquaintance arrives, we’ll find a way to save you. He’s bound to have a solution.”
