In the mountains, Yang Huai found a secluded place and buried Daoist Xuanzhen's body.
He searched the Daoist's body along the way. Apart from the Seven-Star Copper Coin Sword, there were only a few bottles and jars. The pills inside were either for replenishing qi or restoring essence. With his Innate Dao Body on the verge of forming, he had no need for such pills at all.
The Seven-Star Copper Coin Sword looked quite decent, so Yang Huai casually concealed it.
Other than that, there was a thread-bound secret art called the Seven-Star Golden Toad Life-Enhancing Method, as well as a Silver Pellet!
After briefly flipping through the thread-bound book, Yang Huai burned it.
The Seven-Star Golden Toad Life-Enhancing Method was the strange art Daoist Xuanzhen had performed on Huang Liang. It used a specially refined Fate Coin artifact to construct a Seven-Star Altar, borrowing the power of the Northern Dipper's seven stars to seal the Life Palace and patch up one's allotted fate. This art offended the harmony of Heaven; even if it succeeded, it would leave behind grave troubles, while failure meant the soul scattering into smoke.
Huang Liang had met exactly that fate.
Still, this showed that Daoist Xuanzhen had truly gone to great lengths for Huang Liang. Who knew what their relationship was, for him to risk his life so desperately!
As for the Silver Pellet, Yang Huai had a vague guess.
It might be a Sword Pellet!
On the morning of the eighth day, as Yang Huai watched with longing eyes, the countdown on the Bronze Mirror neared zero. Then, two lines of text emerged.
