In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path Chapter 48

Help practice quickly!

_1 “Ah!”

Faced with the sharp Broadsword Qi, the woman scread in surprise and imdiately retreated into the Array Plate.

Just as Chen Dengming was about to split the Array Plate in one stroke, he changed the direction of his blade at the last mont.

The Broadsword Qi whizzed and tore the curtain to shreds, which fluttered in the air.

...

“Co out!”

Chen Dengming frowned and shouted lowly, holding his blade towards the Array Plate.

Faced with this seemingly timid but still unclear ghostly figure, he didn’t dare to approach recklessly, feeling sowhat like he was riding a tiger that he couldn’t get off.

Now that the thing had hidden in his Soul Snatching Array Disk, he really didn’t dare to shatter the Array Disk as well.

After all, tis were tough now, and he didn’t know if he could successfully sell the second batch of Gu objects and get a share.

If he were to shatter this Array Plate, it would cost dozens of lower grade Spirit Stones to have Jiang Qiang recreate it, not to ntion the delay in cultivation ti.

“Fe, Fellow Daoist…as long…as long as you promise to spare , I will co out.

I won’t trick you…”

Chen Dengming frowned, “Set you free to harm again?”

“I, I didn’t an it…

When I was alive, I was naturally charming.

Even now as an Array Spirit, I still possess so allure…”

“Charming?”

Chen Dengming was surprised.

There’s such a thing in the Cultivation World?

I thought it was just sothing conjured up in novels.

It seems that he didn’t succumb to the test of beauty, but rather, the other party had a built-in charm buff.

“Since you an no harm, I will not hurt you.

Co out.

But if you dare to harbor any ill intention towards , I’ll cut you down imdiately.”

Chen Dengming loosened his tone and temporarily sheathed his Ice Spirit Sword.

“I, I dare not harbor any ill thoughts towards you…”

The woman sent out a ssage like spiritual waves, and her spiritual body drifted out of the Array Plate again.

This ti it was even more astonishing.

Her forehead was clear like jade, her face tender like porcelain, her tiny ears glittered under the spiritual light, without any makeup or astounding beauty, yet she had a unique charm amidst her delicate elegance.

Chen Dengming focused his mind, telling himself to be resolute, to be resolute, then coldly asked, “You said you’re an Array Spirit?

How so?”

The woman’s figure fluttered, her appearance dazzling.

When her beautiful eyes inadvertently t Chen Dengming’s gaze, Chen Dengming felt as if he had understood all her thoughts, as if they were telepathically connected.

This type of spiritual communication was undeniably much more concise and clear than words.

Chen Dengming soon learned the woman’s history and current situation.

It turned out that she was once a Cultivator, who was severely injured in a magic fight and unfortunately died.

Her soul didn’t disperse imdiately and was captured by a Yin Ghost Sect disciple and refined into an Array Spirit.

Later on, that Yin Ghost Sect disciple also died tragically, and she completely sunk into the Soul Snatching Array Disk, her mories of her previous life gradually blurred, and she now truly beca a dazed Array Spirit.

“So you have been watching cultivate for nearly two months?”

Chen Dengming frowned, “Why haven’t you shown yourself?”

The Array Spirit timidly said, “I, I was scared…”

“Scared?

Do I look threatening?”

Chen Dengming snorted, but upon thinking, he understood.

After the female Cultivator died, her soul was captured and refined into an Array Spirit.

Naturally, she would fear humans, especially other Cultivators.

However, the fact that she could avoid her soul from dissipating after death suggests that she might have had a high cultivation level when she was alive.

It remains unknown whether what she has said so far is true or false, or if she is hiding anything.

He decided to keep probing, acting more aggressive, and pressuring this female Cultivator to see if she would reveal anything.

“Do you have a stutter?”

“When, when I’m nervous, I do a bit…”

“Enough, no more talking.

Cultivation is of utmost importance.

Demon, assist in my cultivation imdiately!”

The female Array Spirit floated in the air in confusion, “???”

“What are you dazing for?

Aren’t you an Array Spirit?

Don’t you have wisdom?

Show , activate the formation now, help in my cultivation!”

Chen Dengming feigned anger.

Did he need to yell ‘Hey, Alexa, open cultivation mode?’

This Array Spirit seed rather dull and stupid.

“Oh, oh—I understand now.”

The Array Spirit suddenly realized and started dancing.

Her dance was graceful and alluring.

Even those captivating eyes, coupled with her graceful figure and pitiful expression, kept darting glances at Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming was stunned.

Hiss—

What was this little Array Spirit trying to do?

Was it trying to test him, a dignified Qi Cultivation third tier Cultivator?

As expected, she revealed her true colors when tested, daring to behave outrageously here!

Just as Chen Dengming was about to lose his temper, he suddenly noticed sothing was off.

The Array Flags around him were fluttering, and streams of “Gold Spiritual Energy” were absorbed as he desired.

In contrast, the Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth spiritual energies were all blocked outside the scope of the Array Flags, and none of them infringed on the formation range.

This efficiency, this degree of soul snatching…

Chen Dengming couldn’t help but be internally shocked.

The Array Spirit was indeed extraordinary.

Despite using the Soul Snatching Array so many tis before, he had never achieved such high efficiency.

Even if a single type of spiritual energy from the surrounding area could be culled on a large scale, other types of spiritual energy would still infiltrate to so extent.

Especially Wood Spiritual Energy, it would still cause so loss to Gold Spiritual Energy, rendering it impossible to achieve a state of perfection without loss.

But now, has the efficiency rely improved by a tad?

Chen Dengming slightly let his guard down, but still remained vigilant.

He began to strike a pose and took the ti to cultivate.

Half an hour later.

His sweat was pouring down as he switched to another one-legged stance, emitting a low roar.

“Monster!

Continue the dance!”

Another half hour passed.

“Continue, keep dancing!”

“Continue…”

“…”

“Da…Daofriend…

I really can’t do it any longer.

I’ve never danced this long before, allow to rest a while…”

“No!”

“Daofriend…

P…Please spare .”

“You can’t even handle this…”

Chen Dengming checked the progress of his cultivation, not fully satisfied.

He glanced at the Mini Array Spirit who seed to be turning more transparent, indicating that this strange spiritual creature was indeed reaching its limit.

He had been so brutal, and the other party had not tried any tricks, it seed they could be trusted temporarily.

However, as so books say, won, especially beautiful won, are the most deceptive when they disguise themselves.

He’ll need to stay vigilant in the future.

“All right, all right, rest for a while, and we’ll continue tomorrow.”

He waved his hand, feeling a sense of boredom.

After sending the Mini Array Spirit back to the Array Plate, he went to the next room to boil water for a bath, preparing to wash off his sweat.

It seed that due to the cold and damp weather, the firewood was damp and couldn’t be lit, even after a long struggle with saltpeter.

Chen Dengming shook his head and decided to indulge a bit by using the Big Fireball Skill to light the firewood, which began to ‘bloop, bloop’ as it heated the water.

“Becoming a cultivator, but still having to boil my own water for bathing…

I’ll have to see if there are any body cleansing spells available later.”

He felt a sense of nostalgia; back in the mortal realm, he had plenty of maids who did things for him.

Given his current status in the Gold Word Workshop under Chen Chief, it would be quite easy to get a few maids from Zanhua Building on credit, but he decided against it.

He’s new to the Cultivation World and has just started to get a foothold among the ranks of the low-level loose cultivators.

Furthermore, he was now considering whether to give up his share of the second batch of Gu objects and withdraw before Luo Family and Zhu Family engage in full-scale conflict.

“Winter has co, life’s getting tougher for the common folk in the settlent area, and the Demonic Beasts in the mountains will be seeking food.

Even if I withdraw right now, where else could I go besides the settlent area?”

As Chen Dengming reflected on this, he felt a headache coming on, and suddenly there was a knock at the door of his courtyard.

“Is Master Chen at ho?”

In surprise, Chen Dengming donned a cloak, went to the door and opened it.

He saw a simple and honest man standing outside the door.

The man respectfully saluted him and handed over a bundle.

“Master Chen, I’m a drifter living at the foot of Luo Family Mountain.

Yesterday, Miss Xu from the Luo Family asked to hand over this bundle of clothes to you.

Miss Xu said that it’s almost winter and reminded you to wear more clothes when it gets cold!

Besides, it hasn’t been peaceful recently.

Miss Xu said that if you need to contact her, you can leave a ssage at Luo Family Mountain, it’s the temporary address of this humble drifter.”

The definition of a ‘drifter’ is soone who doesn’t have a fixed abode, can’t afford to live in the settlent area, and leads a precarious life.

“Xu Wei…”

Chen Dengming took the clothes, his heart ward slightly.

He felt that the Dao of Immortality wasn’t a lonely path, and that the journey to longevity was always filled with monts worth rembering.

As for whether there will be changes in the future, whether he’ll experience the passing of ti and old age, or witness the departure of friends and loved ones, that’s a matter for the future.

All sorts of scenery should be experienced at least once.

He was just about to give one Spiritual Grain as a token of appreciation,

but the honest hunter promptly waved his hand to refuse, saying that Miss Xu had already given the remuneration.

After saluting, he turned and left.

All were kind-hearted, good people, adding so human warmth to this cold cultivation world.

…

Not long after the hunter left,

Wu Chen from the Gold Word Workshop, who hadn’t bothered him for many days, arrived.

He inford that a batch of Gu objects at the Gu Refining Place seed to have problems due to the freezing weather and needed his inspection.

“Did the Reed Beetle Gu encountered a problem?”

Chen Dengming was sowhat surprised.

If it was the Reed Beetle Gu that had a problem, it was quite possible.

He asked a few more questions and ascertained that it was only the Reed Beetle Gu that had an issue.

There were no problems with the Stone Gu, which alleviated so of his concerns.

Even so, he remained on guard.

After putting away his clothes, he wrapped the Ice Spirit Sword with a cloth strip and carried it on his back.

He put on a bamboo hat and discreetly exited through the back door, rushing to the Gu Refining Place with a few cultivators who were escorting him.

Ever since Iron Forest Hall and Huayu Sect openly looted his goods, he had been mostly staying in his house.

This ti he decided to observe the situation while going out, and had also made up his mind to temporarily leave this troubleso place…
