Bing Po Jue

"Let's also exchange for a 6,000-year-old herb!"

Li Weiyi has no shortage of cultivation resources for the time being; he only wants to feed all Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors to the Longevity Realm.

The more help you have, the stronger your ability to deal with danger.

They are emperor-level rare insects, requiring almost no cultivation. As long as they grow up normally, they will become seven beings comparable to Martial Path Son of Heaven.

Living beings are not all the same.

For snakes, insects, fish, and birds to transform into dragons, they need millions of years of arduous cultivation and trials, enduring the perilous journey of leaping over the Dragon Gate. But young dragons only need to be fed and grow up to possess that power.

However, getting enough to eat is not an easy thing.

Sitting across the table from Li Weiyi, Liu Tianchen stared at her silently for a moment before saying, "I knew you'd want the Thousand-Year Elixir! But killing Qin Zhengyang will reward you with 30,000 Merit Points and a six-thousand-year-old herb. Xie Wumian will only reward you with 20,000 Merit Points and a five-thousand-year-old herb."

"The Deputy Sentinel Lord is Taiyin Envoy, whose cultivation has reached the Second Realm. He's no ordinary person," Li Weiyi reminded him.

Liu Tianchen said, "Xie Wumian has not only reached the Second Realm, but he will almost certainly be able to step into the Great Longevity level in the future, and then pursue the Transcendent realm. Therefore, you have received such a generous reward. Normally, killing a Ghost Lord at the Great Longevity level would only earn you 30,000 Merit Points."

"You took Xie Wumian's two most valuable Thousand Character Artifact, didn't you?"

Before Li Weiyi could speak, Liu Tianchen continued, "I know that you possess enormous wealth, have purchased vast amounts of resources, and have refined the Extreme Day True Pill for private sale, looking down on a five-thousand-year-old refined herb. But a five-thousand-year-old refined herb is worth twenty million Spring Coin, or two billion Silver Coin, enough to support an entire city and cultivate more than one Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator."

The Dongxu Camp must have a special organization monitoring the every move of all the sentries and sentry spirits; the matter of selling the Extreme Day True Pill had already been leaked.

Li Weiyi understood the underlying meaning in Liu Tianchen's words.

The meaning is clear: he can turn a blind eye to this matter.

Immediately, Li Weiyi knew he couldn't say anything more, "Deputy Sentinel Lord is wise, and the five-thousand-year-old elixir is quite good. What reward is there for that Dao Spiritual Light Imprint?"

"Ten thousand Merit Points, and a Four Thousand Year Vintage medicinal herb."

Liu Tianchen pointed to the three medicine boxes on the table. "The Lesser Yang Division has a special hidden merit book. The Merit Points for this operation will not be put on the Merit List."

Li Weiyi opened the three icy medicine boxes one after another, and a rich Medicinal Fragrance emanated from them.

These three exquisite medicinal herbs, shrouded in a misty glow, could easily cause a significant upheaval if placed in Various Life Realms.

While the elixirs aged four thousand and five thousand years cannot directly allow the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor to grow to the Longevity Realm, they are enough to significantly improve its growth, saving time for natural metamorphosis.

Put the three medicine boxes into the boundary bag.

Before taking his leave, Li Weiyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hai Envoy infiltrated the Dongxu Camp. Have you found out who he is?"

"Dealing with the Twelve Taiyin Envoys is the duty of your Lesser Yang Division. The task has been assigned to everyone in the Lesser Yang Division. Whoever can find them will have accomplished a great feat. If you are unable to defeat them in the Dongxu Camp and instead die at their hands, causing the information to leak, it will be yourselves who will lose face."

Liu Tianchen appeared calm and composed; this level of exchange was an excellent opportunity to train the younger generation.

Having suffered the calamity of losing a large number of sentinels in the East Sea and three crushing defeats, the Dongxu Camp is now on high alert. Beneath the calm surface of the water, a full-scale extermination operation is underway against the infiltrators of the Taiyin Sect.

Immediately, Li Weiyi said seriously, "I heard Xie Wumian mention that the Taiyin Sect intends to overthrow the Dongxu Camp, causing the Sentinel Spirit Army and Various Life Realms to lose their eyes in the East Sea."

These words were naturally not spoken by Xie Wumian.

It was Li Weiyi who used the secret technique of awakening corpses, and the sentry spirit that had transformed into a battle corpse spoke of it. Now, through Xie Wumian's words, he reminded the Deputy Sentinel Lord.

"Go then!"

How could Liu Tianchen not know the Taiyin Sect's objectives?

From the moment the Immortal Dao Dragon Vein revived, the world entered a new era of great upheaval, and no one could remain unaffected.

Li Weiyi described Xie Wumian's eyes, tone, and Divine Charm to Old Qin, and the two went through the process of refining and discussing it. After exchanging the Sentinel Spirit Waist Token, Li Weiyi finally left the Camp Hall.

For the next period of time, he planned to ignore these trivial matters, focus on cultivation, hone his skills and techniques, and digest what he had gained during this period.

After joining the Lesser Yang Division, you will no longer be bound by the rules of the recruit camp and will only obey the orders of the Holy Division, giving you a lot of freedom in your time.

Walking on the square paved with Green Jade Formation Stone, bathed in sunlight, the graceful figure of the Dao Palace Shinden couldn't help but come to mind.

Is it really her?

What exactly is her relationship with Inari?

If it really is her, why is she so cold, acting like a stranger?

"What if she...?"

Li Weiyi thought of the Yin Shi Zhong Dao, the possession of another body, the soul devouring, and many other things. He forced himself not to think about these possibilities, but various distracting thoughts lingered and wouldn't go away.

He couldn't accept that Jiang Ning might have died on the way out of Lingxiao City.

If I hadn't selfishly used my spiritual power to knock her unconscious and had instead let Zuoqiu Hongting take her away from Lingxiao City, would the outcome have been different?

Li Weiyi sighed inwardly, realizing that she had become anxious and insecure, and was no longer at ease.

The wind blows.

The words Jiang Ning had spoken to him in Lingxiao City when he learned he had become the Divine Child of the Rice Cult echoed in his ears, "I don't think you're the bloodthirsty and extreme type. Even if people change, even if one day you become a stranger, no longer the person you once were, that young man who would fight to the death for others, that young man in the Five Seas Realm of Immortal Burial Town, on the ship in Zhizhou, on the sea of Soldier Ancestor Marsh. He had ideals, a sense of responsibility, and kindness."

"If that day ever comes, I will do everything in my power to find you."

Li Weiyi believed that Jiang Ning was sincere when she said those words, and that she was truly willing to give anything to find the man she once knew.

Put yourself in their shoes.

What about myself?

Can I overcome all difficulties and bring her back?

"Dao Palace's True Teachings!"

Li Weiyi clenched her hands tightly, her eyes gradually hardening.

At this moment, all he wanted was to break through to immortality as soon as possible and master the combat power of a true disciple. He had to know the truth; if Jiang Ning was already dead, he would definitely avenge this.

The Jiang family and the Dao Palace must pay the price.

Because of her words and her sincere feelings back then.

Even if... we were just friends at first!

Without sufficient cultivation, one might not even be qualified to uncover her true nature.

Ahead, a graceful figure in sage blue stood there, exuding an elegant and refined air. In her, Li Weiyi seemed to see a trace of Jiang Ning, and immediately dispelled the delusions in his mind. "Captain, you haven't left yet?"

Qing Ziqin stood at the edge of Qingyu Square, her aloof and icy demeanor unapproachable. "You've broken through to the Saint Mind Master realm, and you'll definitely be entering the Fire Abyss to absorb the Heavenly Fire soon. The Deputy Sentinel Lord asked me to pass on the <Bing Po Jue> to you."

"What is the <Bing Po Jue>?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qing Ziqin placed a Jade Slip into Li Weiyi's hand, then stepped on a beam of spiritual light and headed straight down the mountain. "A method to protect the soul! Heavenly fire can burn cursed monsters, but it can also burn our souls. The soul within the physical body is naturally not afraid; as long as the heavenly fire is kept outside the body, it will be fine."

"But your Tian Chong Soul has already merged with the Spirit God. If you absorb the Heavenly Fire into the Spirit Realm, wouldn't you be burning it?"

"With your exceptional talent and comprehension, you probably don't need my instruction. Just figure it out and cultivate on your own!"

Li Weiyi gripped the Jade Slip and quickly caught up with the green figure ahead. "Thank you for passing on the technique, Captain! Is there anything we should be aware of before entering the Fire Abyss?"

Qing Ziqin walked gracefully forward, her footsteps as light as smoke. "Before going in, it's best to wear Magic Tool Martial Robe. Don't go too deep; the deeper you go, the higher the temperature, and the more dangerous the heavenly fire becomes."

"Furthermore, even if one cultivates the <Bing Po Jue>, the Tian Chong Soul will still be unable to withstand the increasing intensity of the heavenly fire in the Spirit Realm."

"If you can't hold on, get out immediately. Don't think that you can cultivate faster inside and try to tough it out. Damage to your soul affects your spirit and consciousness, and that's no joke."

Li Weiyi wanted to know more. "How fast can one cultivate mental power inside? How long have you been cultivating inside?"

Although Qing Ziqin disliked Li Weiyi, as the team leader, she felt it necessary to explain the situation of the Fire Abyss to him, "The first time you absorb Heavenly Fire, the boost to your cultivation is the greatest, roughly equivalent to twenty or thirty times your usual cultivation speed. Blood Jade Material stayed inside for twenty-one days, and I stayed for twenty-eight days."

Li Weiyi was secretly startled. "The captain has been cultivating diligently for several years? Has he managed to condense the eleventh Psychic Power Stars?"

From the Tenth Psychic Power Star to the nineteenth, it represents the process of Saint Mind Master Early First Realm.

It takes a lot of time to condense each one.

From the Early First Realm, the intensity of spiritual light does not increase significantly; what increases is its quantity. Therefore, although there is a considerable gap in cultivation and combat power, the gap is not so large as to be insurmountable.

"Don't you think you're being presumptuous?" Qing Ziqin looked at her coldly.

Li Weiyi knew that Qing Ziqin was an extremely serious and earnest person, so he didn't say anything carelessly or make any jokes, as that would backfire. He could only apologize. "I'm sorry! It's really not appropriate to tell others about one's cultivation level."

"It has condensed."

She glanced at him, answered as such, and then quickened her pace. "The first time I entered the Fire Abyss for cultivation, my progress was the most rapid. According to the instructor, the second time, the cultivation speed was only ten times faster, and it decreased with each subsequent attempt, eventually stopping at three times the normal speed."

"That's quite considerable! Controlling this Fire Abyss will give the Dongxu Camp's Mind Master Guard a huge advantage," Li Weiyi said.

Qing Ziqin said, "Do you think you can enter the Fire Abyss anytime? Once you go in to cultivate, you need at least a year to nurture your soul before you can enter again. Unless..."

Li Weiyi looked at her.

Qing Ziqin said, "There are some wondrous things in the world that can nourish the soul, such as the legendary Netherworld Soul Divine Marrow. There are Netherworld Spirits in the world, whose cycle of the four seasons is five hundred years, five hundred years, and two thousand years. Their Marrow Fluid can nourish the soul."

"Li Weiyi, I also have a presumptuous question for you: has your martial arts broken the barrier of immortality?"

Li Weiyi smiled, "So this is why the captain, who clearly dislikes me, is so talkative today, right? You must be extremely curious, wanting to know why I was able to kill Xie Wumian."

Qing Ziqin said, "That's right! I don't believe that someone with only the cultivation of the First Realm Saint Mind Master can defeat Xie Wumian."

Li Weiyi said, "Of course I can't beat Xie Wumian, but I've raised Seven Mysterious Insects. Just like you, Captain, don't you also possess the ability to control corpses? Thirteen Longevity Corpse, how strong must their combat power be?"

"Since we've come this far, I've wanted to explain for a while now. There really was a misunderstanding between us. Li Weiyi is definitely not the kind of person the captain thinks. I will definitely lend you the spear in the future. Before... I swear, I didn't mean to tease you in the slightest."

Qing Ziqin stopped and looked at him. "Li Weiyi, you have Fiancée. I advise you to keep your distance from any woman. That way, I will naturally believe that everything before was a misunderstanding and trust your character."

"Also, I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation with Taishi Yu at the Yan Jue Mountain! If you're looking for a temporary Daoist partner in Dongxu Camp, please find another woman. I'm sure someone will be willing, after all, you are truly talented and have a bright future."
