Chapter 453: Chapter 435: Regained After Loss Chapter 453: Chapter 435: Regained After Loss Spiritual Master Ling Yun was rely a demon Loose Cultivator, so his storeroom naturally couldn’t catch the eye of a major sect.
A few magical treasures plundered from who knows which Cultivator, a small number of spirit dicine, the only thing that could catch Liu Qianyun’s attention was that jar of precious dicinal brew.
“What is this?”
Shen Yi took out a withered branch from a sowhat disorderly shelf and looked towards Liu Qianyun.
Under the enhancent of the Treasure-Seeking Divine Power he had gained from consuming the Rat Demon’s Innards, this piece of twig was actually the item with the richest aura.
“Huh, this Loose Cultivator actually hid so good stuff.”
Liu Qianyun cast a casual glance and was slightly surprised, then explained to Shen Yi, “Green Sun branch, this is the treasure material needed for a Dao Pillar, and the quality is passable. It can take about three to five hundred years to refine, barely enough to be used as supplentary material for a third-grade Dao Pillar.”
Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded his head.
He understood that it could only be used as third-grade supplentary material. Placed in the Dao Palace, its value was about equivalent to that of a Zhang Laifu, inferior to the Red-eyed Phoenix Demon.
Seeing Shen Yi’s calm expression, Liu Qianyun worried that he might misunderstand and added another sentence, “You might not be very clear, but for a Cultivator in the early stages of the Return to Void Realm, third-grade is actually quite high. In my Pure Moon Sect, those exceptional direct disciples, when ascending to the palace for the first ti, if they use the six-pillar thod and half of the Dao Pillars are of the third-grade, there’s a chance to receive the blessing of the Azure Phoenix’s breath and be honored as an Immortal Palace.”
“Of course, I’m just ntioning this in passing. For sothing like a Dao Pillar, it’s still best to proceed according to one’s capabilities.”
Liu Qianyun shook her head. “For instance, there was once a senior brother in our sect who, in pursuit of the vain title of Immortal Palace, forcibly visualized a third-grade Dao Pillar and wasted over twenty thousand years of his lifespan. After great difficulty, he obtained a whiff of the Azure Phoenix’s breath, but with his remaining lifespan insufficient, he spent his life stranded at the second layer of Return to Void… He was originally soone with the potential to beco an external elder of the sect.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Steward. I have taken note,” Shen Yi replied, lightly nodding his chin. In fact, he had no use for the treasure material.
But he was very interested in the latter part of Liu Qianyun’s statent.
A third-grade Dao Pillar, he already possessed one Red-eyed Phoenix Demon, which ant he was only two more short of a chance to achieve an Immortal Palace.
It was just unclear what level the toad and the spiritual deer were.
Based on the remaining lifespans of the two demons, they both seed to have excellent innate talents and bloodlines, with their cultivation also at the third layer of Return to Void.
Shen Yi waved his hand grandly, bringing the entire storeroom’s collection into his Finger Ring.
He would first take it back to the sect to see if there was anything useful.
The rest could be saved to exchange for Phoenix Demon’s essence blood.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Three hundred and twenty-four thousand years]
The few demons besides the two Great Demons clearly had much inferior bloodline talents. The combined offering of three was only ninety thousand years, barely equivalent to a single Azure Sea Toad.
But for now, it should be more than enough.
Shen Yi brought the old dog back into his brow, not deliberately avoiding Liu Qianyun.
From the toad’s earlier reaction, it was known.
The cultivators out there possessed all sorts of bizarre thods and could even create stone puppets similar to the old dog, which spared him a lot of trouble.
“This thing is really good.”
Liu Qianyun looked enviously at Shen Yi and murmured softly.
With a bunch of Heaven and Earth Treasures, one could create such an ingeniously made treasure. Although it was an external object, in a real battle, who would care about that? The genuine fact was, surviving was what truly mattered.
But she rely sighed once and did not ask further.
Each sect had its own unique skills that they would not easily reveal to others.
…
Outside Ling Yun Cave.
Li Qingfeng felt his heart pounding against his chest, his face pale as he slumped outside the stone mansion.
The muffled sounds that had faintly emitted from inside the cave, accompanied by wails, were still echoing in his ears.
Clearly, a slaughter was taking place.
It was his first ti following Sect Master Shen outside, and they had co up against so many Return to Void Realm Great Demons.
Could Steward Liu protect Shen Yi? Which side would she stand on?
Whose side would the spiritual Ling Yun deer demon take?
Innately timid, Li Qingfeng instinctively calculated the odds of victory in his mind, growing more and more panicked. For them, whether it was Liu Qianyun or Spiritual Master Ling Yun, they were beings they had only just co to know.
He couldn’t make an accurate judgent.
It wasn’t until the noise from the stone mansion abruptly ceased, and an unsettling silence fell around, leaving only his own breathing.
This is bad, this is bad.
Given Li Qingfeng’s timid nature, combined with the cautiousness he had built up dealing with Nie Jun’s troubles over the years, what he should do now was to quickly flee from this place.
But he rembered when Shen Yi previously fought with the old dog, how his master had turned and stepped into the light curtain without any hesitation.
Li Qingfeng, however, found himself unable to take a step forward.
“What if… What if everyone inside was exhausted from battle and just needed soone to step forward and chop off the heads of those demons? At that mont, if Shen Yi discovered that I had fled, how disappointed he would be,” he thought.
With this in mind, Li Qingfeng gritted his teeth, tremblingly got up, and with determination thrust out his hands to fiercely pull at the stone door.
Boom—
Before he could exert any force, the stone door had already opened.
Li Qingfeng stumbled a few steps, choked by the pungent sll of blood that hit him.
He focused his eyes and saw a figure walking out at an unhurried pace.
Aside from the ink robe stained with blood, not a single minor wound could be seen on Shen Yi’s fair skin.
Li Qingfeng quickly noticed the dense mass of bloody handprints on the other side of the stone door.
Such a terrifying scene, together with the previous wails and Shen Yi’s composed deanor,
made everyone, including that steward Liu, follow behind Shen Yi with a look of helplessness.
He suddenly shuddered, “…”
Was it possible that Sect Master Shen, even after leaving Nanyang Sect, still managed to bring his usual way of doing things with him?
Li Qingfeng used his dirty sleeve to wipe the saliva off his face.
He quietly walked to Shen Yi’s side, looking every bit like a little follower.
He was now afraid to say anything, deciding to save all his words until they returned to Nanyang Sect.
“Let’s go back,” said Shen Yi.
Liu Qianyun looked at Shen Yi. She too didn’t really want to stay outside any longer.
It wasn’t out of fear, but after what had been done, she inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
After receiving Shen Yi’s reply,
she briskly walked to the edge of the sea of clouds, waved her hand… and then waved again.
“Hmm?”
Liu Qianyun’s almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise as she looked toward the sea of clouds.
She waved repeatedly, “Where’s my ship?”
After pondering for a mont, she finally realized what had happened, and her montary guilt instantly turned into raging anger, “How dare they steal the Pure Moon Sect’s treasure ship!”
That treasure ship wasn’t her personal property, it was brought from the Sect under the decree of her father to pick up Shen Yi.
It hadn’t been put away because it didn’t suit the grandeur of a great sect.
To think these audacious culprits would dare to touch anything.
That little deer demon must have sensed sothing was wrong and directly stole the treasure ship to escape.
Liu Qianyun took several deep breaths and finally turned to Shen Yi helplessly, “It appears we must travel slowly through the clouds, we’ll have to figure out sothing once we return to the Sect.
The escape of the deer demon ant that the matter with the Green Sea Toad might get leaked.
Shen Yi seed unperturbed, after all, no one recognized him, and he was in the disguise of a Loose Cultivator. On the other hand, she was here on behalf of Pure Moon Sect, despite being just a minor steward, which was bound to cause so trouble.
“…”
Shen Yi did not respond, but instead looked towards the sky.
The mont he averted his gaze,
two figures approached with the pitch-black treasure ship, casually tossing down the sad carcass of the deer demon.
It was Shen Feng and Bai Hong, the two Demon Emperors.
After doing all this, the two demons turned into streaks of light and entered Shen Yi’s brow.
Looking at the treasure ship restored to her,
“Many thanks, Sect Master…”
Liu Qianyun was overjoyed, but halfway through her thanks, she froze.
The stone manor’s gate had been shut tight the whole ti; when had he released the stone puppet to keep watch over the deer demon guarding the door?
It couldn’t have been… right when they arrived?
Had he been prepared to take action even before disembarking from the ship?!
