Pei Yuankui was left dumbfounded. He seed unable to accept the reality before him. After a long silence, he suddenly half-kneeled, his tone sincere. "Pei Yuankui is willing to serve you, Senior! Whether it's up the mountain of blades or through a sea of fire, as long as you command, I, Pei Yuankui, won't even flinch! Wherever you want to go, I will go!"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
Pei Yuankui was a clever person. In an instant, he had deduced that True Master Yin had likely t a terrible fate. He must have mistaken him for a Deity Transformation cultivator on the sa level as True Master Yin.
Chu Xuan smiled faintly. "So, you'll go wherever I send you?"
Pei Yuankui nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, yes! Please, Senior, command ."
Chu Xuan casually replied, "Then please, go into the Five Organs Temple."
Pei Yuankui froze. Before he could react, a gust of foul wind slamd into him. A massive, muscular figure filled his vision.
With a snap, Hu twisted Pei Yuankui's neck. His Nascent Soul was ripped from his body and respectfully presented to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan gave a slight nod, casually tossing the body and soul into the Heavenly Corpse Tower and the Sky-Shielding Umbrella. He looked at the empty Nine Yin Island and let out a long breath.
"Finally, it's over. But I can't stay here for long. White Bone True Master and Black Wind True Master must know about True Master Yin's injury. Sooner or later, they'll co to probe. I was able to kill True Master Yin only because he was gravely injured. If I were to face a Deity Transformation cultivator in full health, I'd have no choice but to flee."
With that thought in mind, Chu Xuan imdiately returned to True Master Yin's cave. He was going to withdraw and escape!
Chu Xuan surveyed the surroundings and quickly began dismantling the various formations in the cave. All the soundproofing, light-absorbing, mist-shrouding, and yin wind formations—he took them all! These were Deity Transformation-level formations, far superior to the Nascent Soul-level ones in his possession.
In addition to this, Chu Xuan employed his spiritual sense to scan the cave. He discovered a secret compartnt under the stone bed. Inside the compartnt was a top-tier storage pouch.
After wiping off the lingering soul imprint, Chu Xuan was shocked to find that it was filled with an enormous number of various talismans. There were over a thousand Nascent Soul-level talismans alone. As for Deity Transformation-level talismans, there were at least twenty.
Clearly, these were preparations True Master Yin had made for ergencies. And now, they had beco Chu Xuan's spoils.
Chu Xuan made his way to the alchemy room, the corpse refining room, and the weapon crafting room in the cave.
In the alchemy room, there was nothing of value, just piles of wasted pill remnants. It seed that True Master Yin's skills in alchemy weren't particularly high, but he had a strong passion for it and continuously tried to refine pills.
In the corpse refining room, there were twenty corpse puppets, soaked for a long ti in corpse refining liquid.
Chu Xuan sniffed the air and imdiately recognized the top-grade corpse refining liquid. Even though the corpse puppets hadn't started their refining process yet, their strength would at least be on the level of a corpse general with top-tier potential. With a stroke of luck, so might even achieve the peak of quality.
"Not bad, there's even an Introduction to Corpse Refining here."
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he swiftly pocketed the book. It was clear that this was the result of True Master Yin's research into corpse refining and the creation of corpse puppets. He had never expected that one day, a Nascent Soul cultivator would turn the tables and kill him. These treasures were now left behind, unclaid.
After leaving the corpse refining room, Chu Xuan entered the weapon crafting room. In the center of the weapon crafting room, the large furnace still had flas burning inside.
Chu Xuan extended his spiritual sense and was imdiately delighted. Inside the furnace was a weapon that was already beginning to take shape.
The mont he saw it, Chu Xuan knew it wasn't a magic treasure but a spiritual artifact! Even though it was only a semi-finished product, its power was far beyond that of any top-tier magic treasure.
"Good, good, good! True Master Yin, you've truly given a great gift!"
Chu Xuan's smile widened. Killing a powerful cultivator had reaped incredible rewards.
A few days later, the flas in the furnace gradually weakened. Only then did Chu Xuan retrieve the spiritual artifact.
The weapon resembled a small lamp, but as it was still a semi-finished product, many details were incomplete. Overall, it looked like a hastily made toy. Still, this did little to hide the surging Spiritual Qi contained within it.
"Ti to go."
Chu Xuan smiled in satisfaction, gathered all the treasures, and quickly left. He boarded the Nine Yin Ship and set sail southward, heading toward the outer rings of the Three Southern Circles.
It didn't take long before he arrived at a desolate island, one with scarce Spiritual Qi. The Starshatter Sea was vast, with islands scattered across it like stars in the sky, more nurous than grains of sand.
Almost every day, fragnts of stars were drawn in by the imnse gravitational pull of the Shattered Star Sea, becoming part of it. This constant process led to the birth of new islands. As a result, countless naless, unclaid islands appeared in the sea.
Chu Xuan wasn't concerned that soone would show up here out of nowhere to fight him for the island. Unless that person was simply bored and looking for trouble.
After arriving at the desolate island, Chu Xuan found a mountain and imdiately pulled out the Evil Soul Chain, swinging it fiercely. Not long after, he had carved out a cave dwelling.
The Nine Yin Ship was also tucked into the Myriad Realm Mirror, just like the Golden Dragon Ship, and placed on Blue Star. After all, such a large target was too conspicuous. If True Master Yin's enemies discovered it, it could lead to unnecessary trouble.
Although placing such a massive object on Blue Star would consu a fair amount of Spiritual Qi, Chu Xuan wasn't worried about it. He had accumulated an enormous amount of high-grade spirit stones on the Heavenly tal Battlefield, so the consumption of spirit stones didn't matter.
Once the temporary cave dwelling was established and equipped with various Deity Transformation level formations, Chu Xuan took a single step and returned to Blue Star.
Blue Star, the Water Curtain Cave.
Chu Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the familiar atmosphere of Blue Star. His body relaxed involuntarily as he sighed with relief.
"Blue Star... now, this is ho."
He couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia. His escape from Holy Fla Star, infiltrating Nine Yin Island to steal cultivation, followed by the bloody battle with White Bone Island, Black Wind Island, and the entire Nine Yin Island, and finally sending off True Master Yin—he hadn't had a mont of peace. At last, he could rest.
Without hesitation, Chu Xuan took out True Master Yin's Universe Bag and began to purify the spiritual imprint left by True Master Yin's soul. It took ti to erase the remnants of a Deity Transformation cultivator's spiritual imprint.
Ten days later, he had finally removed all traces of it. Staring at the open Universe Bag before him, looking as though it were a jade body exposed without cover, Chu Xuan cracked his knuckles.
"Let's open the blind box!"
He imdiately sent his spiritual sense into the bag.
"Well... this is... so poor!"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but grind his teeth.
Inside True Master Yin's Universe Bag, there were only a bit over eight hundred great spirit stones, around three hundred thousand dium-grade spirit stones, five pieces of top-tier magic treasures, two broken lower-grade spiritual artifacts, and about ten bottles of Nascent Soul-level dicinal pills.
Additionally, there were several early-stage Deity Transformation formation sets. And that was it. There was nothing more... nothing at all. But after so thought, Chu Xuan realized that this was probably normal.
True Master Yin had fought fiercely with the Netherfire King, then battled White Bone and Black Wind True Master. He'd even been ambushed by the fleet of Yellow Spring Island.
All the precious Deity Transformation healing pills and Deity Transformation talismans were probably long used up.
In order to suppress the Nascent Soul cultivators under his command, True Master Yin would have had to expend spirit stones to recover his Spiritual Qi.
"Is this all you left for ?" He sighed deeply. "Couldn't you have tried a bit harder to earn more?"
