Immortal Spirit Body

The dust settled.

The blood and fire in the cave slowly dissipated.

The Baize cub bounced and rubbed against Chu Liang, then started circling him again, looking very excited. It seemed the beating it just took didn't hurt much.

Jiang Xiaobai also floated down beside Chu Liang and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Chu Liang shook his head. "How about you, Senior Sister Jiang?"

"I'm fine too." Jiang Xiaobai's expression was still very calm, completely unlike someone who had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal.

In fact, Chu Liang now felt that this Giant Lizard was simply not enough to kill her.

A Fifth Realm peak Demon Beast, it sounded like killing a Fourth Realm cultivator would be a sure thing.

But this person was Jiang... well, Senior Sister Jiang Yuebai, who preferred not to reveal her full name.

In short, she was a figure who could be called the strongest genius of this generation in Mount Shu.

She was a true prodigy.

Prodigies could not be judged by common sense.

Whether it was the various Immortal Arts and top-tier Divine Powers she mastered, or the Flying Swords and Magical Artifacts she used, they were all sharp tools capable of bridging many gaps.

In the battle just now, Jiang Xiaobai had already inflicted enough damage on the Giant Lizard. He believed that if the wound left by the Heavenly Sword Art dragged on for a while longer, the Giant Lizard itself would also die.

As for its final desperate lunge, it should not have been effective either. After all, in the brief battle just now, Jiang Xiaobai hadn't used any Magical Artifacts, but no one would believe that a top genius disciple of Mount Shu didn't have one or two life-saving treasures.

Perhaps she just felt it wasn't time yet, and there was no need to use them.

After all, not everyone would be like Chu Liang, who threw around life-saving treasures as if they were worthless.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the Giant Lizard's corpse again, then examined Chu Liang for a moment. She had been somewhat startled by Chu Liang's sudden attack just now.

"What Magical Artifact did you use just now? Its power was quite great, and... extremely Yin Cold and evil..." she finally asked.

"It's the Profound Sha Yin Lightning I confiscated from a Nether King Sect Soul Restraining Envoy earlier," Chu Liang answered truthfully.

"So that's it. It is said that the Profound Sha Yin Lightning is difficult to refine and not cheap. If you hand it over to the Sword Transmission Hall, you should be able to exchange for quite a few Sword Coins," Jiang Xiaobai said.

Who wouldn't say that...

Chu Liang felt a pang of heartache.

Earlier, when he asked Di Nufeng, Di Nufeng dismissively called this thing a "little toy," and he also thought it might just be ordinary.

Thinking about it now, perhaps Master's "little" was already very "big" for him.

These three little toys could directly blow up a Fifth Realm peak Demon Beast. Even if it was already severely injured, it was still terrifying.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the Giant Lizard's physical defense, strength, and speed were almost without weakness. Its only weakness was precisely on the spiritual level. And the strongest point of the Profound Sha Yin Lightning was precisely its attack on the spirit, which was the key to killing it in one blow.

Jiang Xiaobai seemed to see his heartache and smiled slightly. "Then I'll return some Sword Coins to you. You helped me so much, I can't let you suffer a loss for nothing."

"No need," Chu Liang shook his head. "We're fellow disciples of Mount Shu, why bother..."

Jiang Xiaobai seemed to see through his fragile pretense of strength and said directly, "Thanks are still necessary."

"Then how about..." Chu Liang suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Instead of returning the sword coins, could Senior Sister teach me one or two Divine Powers?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiaobai was startled, and said, "Are you talking about Ground Shrinking and Heavenly Sword Art? I don't think you need to aim so high..."

The implication was that Chu Liang couldn't learn them yet...

"No, just some ordinary ones will do." Chu Liang smiled awkwardly again, "My Master... is a body cultivator."

"Is it Peak Master Di Nufeng? I also admire her demeanor." Only then did Jiang Xiaobai remember the Peak Master of Silver Sword Peak, and a sympathetic smile appeared on her face.

Among the disciples of the various peaks on Mount Shu, perhaps few knew who Chu Liang was, but most knew that Di Nufeng had an unlucky disciple.

"Hehe." Chu Liang returned a polite bitter smile.

"Then you still come here tomorrow at noon. I'll wait for you here and teach you Divine Powers then," Jiang Xiaobai agreed.

Chu Liang was delighted and nodded, "Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang, but here..."

He looked at the mess around him, a little surprised.

Could they still live here?

"It's fine," Jiang Xiaobai said, "After you go out, it's best not to mention anything about what happened here to others, okay?"

"But if such a demonic beast attack occurs within the sect, shouldn't it be reported?" Chu Liang was slightly confused.

"I will handle it," Jiang Xiaobai said, "Today's matter is a bit strange..."

"Hmm?" Chu Liang didn't understand, but still nodded.

Seeing his confused look, Jiang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and said, "Today you suffered an undeserved disaster with me, so you should know the inside story. Baize is so close to you, she must also be a kind person, so telling you this is fine..."

"I was born with a special physique, the legendary Immortal Spirit Body. Cultivation has been twice the result with half the effort since I was young, but there is one thing..."

"For demons, my bloodline has a natural and great attraction... It seems that if they eat me, their power can skyrocket."

"Normally, I am careful to keep my distance from the spirit pets and mounts in the mountain gate, and I am always careful to avoid getting injured and bleeding, fearing that the smell of blood will attract demons."

Hearing this, Chu Liang was slightly moved.

A physique that can attract demons...

It sounded a bit like the meaning of Tang Sanzang's flesh, which was indeed very dangerous.

But if he had such a physique, he could attract demons with his physique, then kill them, then use the White Pagoda to exchange for rewards, then use the rewards to become stronger, and then attract more powerful demons...

A healthy industrial chain was thus formed.

While he was lost in thought, Jiang Xiaobai continued, "It's just... as a woman, sometimes bleeding is unavoidable..."

Saying this, her face flushed slightly.

But Chu Liang was calm and not at all awkward. In his opinion, this was not something that needed to be avoided.

Living on Mount Shu and avoiding demons was indeed not simple. There were many spirit pets and mounts kept within the sect, and it was impossible to abolish all of them just for her. But those gentle and domesticated demonic beasts, if they smelled her blood, would immediately become violent and go mad, which was very difficult to handle.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Jiang Xiaobai continued, "Later, I would come to Pagoda Peak every month to hide for a few days. Because of the existence of the sect's Divine Artifact, the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, here, even after five hundred years, it still makes demonic beasts dare not set foot here. It is a pure land."

"Coupled with Baize baby helping me drive away outsiders, I can always stay here temporarily with peace of mind."

"Until it suddenly brought you back today..."

Chu Liang glanced at the Baize cub circling them non-stop, feeling that this divine beast didn't seem very intelligent, so it wasn't that strange for it to do some weird things.

"And this Giant Lizard's arrival is also strange. Why would it suddenly appear on Pagoda Peak, where no demon beast has ever dared to set foot, and how did it accurately find this Cave..." Jiang Xiaobai lightly furrowed her brow.

A beauty frowning is like smoke shrouding a white lake.

Chu Liang instantly understood her meaning.

The fact that she was the legendary Immortal Spirit Body, although a secret, since she could tell Chu Liang so easily, it meant it wasn't a very strict secret.

There should be quite a few people within the Shu Mountain Sect who knew about it.

This demon beast appearing so strangely and exploding so accurately... it was possible that someone on Mount Shu had tampered with things.

It might even be someone close to her.

Thinking this way, it was hard not to feel heavy-hearted.

Jiang Xiaobai only paused for a moment before asking again, "That's all there is to it. That's why I asked you not to make a fuss first. I need to go back and report this matter to my Master first, and then we can make a long-term plan."

"I understand," Chu Liang nodded.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Jiang Xiaobai said finally.

"I want to ask..." Chu Liang pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Before, the Seven Stars Di Bao wrote that you and Feng Chaoyang of the Heavenly King Sect had an ambiguous relationship. Is that true?"
