East Birch Market of the Beast Taming Sect (Revised)
Watching the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect cultivators disembark, Song Wen quietly walked to the stern, flipped over, and used the darkness to conceal his figure as he plummeted from a height of a thousand meters.
Just before it touched the ground, spiritual energy suddenly surged briefly, offsetting the powerful force of the fall, and it landed silently on the ground.
Then, Song Wen did not activate his spiritual power, but relied solely on his powerful physical body to travel through the dense forest.
After traveling several dozen miles, Song Wen confirmed that no righteous cultivators were following him, and his highly vigilant heart relaxed slightly.
He never intended to travel to the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect by spaceship in the first place.
The Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect has Golden Core experts, and even Nascent Soul elders, who might see through his lies. If he wanted to go directly to the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect by spaceship, he wouldn't have used Yan Yuyan's name in the first place. Then, as long as he confronts Yan Yuyan, his lies will be exposed.
He encountered Devil Cultivator on the way, which gave him the perfect opportunity to escape.
After hesitating for a while, Song Wen sighed deeply and headed towards the Cave where Chen Yi had died. He was able to resolve both the Yan Family crisis and the zombie crisis thanks in no small part to the other party.
Chen Yi was his only friend in this world. He couldn't save her; all he could do was collect her body.
Not daring to activate his spiritual power, Song Wen relied solely on his physical body and spent nearly half an hour to reach the Cave.
Looking at Chen Yi's body on the ground, Song Wen sighed again.
Chen Yi has always felt a deep disgust for the treacherous Cultivation World. She believes that her talent and fortuitous opportunity are only average, and rather than exhausting herself in the pursuit of the elusive immortality, she would rather live a peaceful and fulfilling life as a mortal for a hundred years.
Her only wish over the years has been to return to her ordinary hometown and live out her life in peace.
Some people go to great lengths to seek immortality but fail, while others try every means to escape the world of cultivation.
But fate had other plans!
Song Wen took out a coffin and placed the mangled limbs scattered on the ground inside.
While collecting the limbs, he noticed that Lu Chan and the others probably didn't care about the meager amount of Spirit Stone Chen Yi had, and didn't take Chen Yi's Storage Bag. So he took the opportunity to collect her Storage Bag.
After collecting the body and leaving the Cave, Song Wen determined his direction and then walked through the darkness.
As dawn broke, Song Wen arrived at a large river.
Song Wen originally planned to burn Chen Yi's body to ashes and scatter them in the river, but after checking Chen Yi's Storage Bag, he changed his mind.
The Storage Bag contained only a small amount of Spirit Stone and pills, as well as two books.
One of the books is Cultivation Method called "Corpse Baleful Art," but it is incomplete, containing only the first six levels of Qi Refinement Cultivation Method.
Another book is Chen Yi's diary, which records some important things in her daily life.
Most of the content consists of records about the cultivation of various spirit medicine, detailing the frequency and timing of watering each herb with spiritual water and applying spiritual fertilizer.
It also records her emotional entanglement with Zhang Xiaofan.
It turned out that she had been pregnant with Zhang Xiaofan's child before. During that time, feeling the new life growing in her belly, Chen Yi was both happy and worried.
What worries and frightens us is how this fragile life, about to be born, will face the perilous Cultivation World.
What pleased her was that, although she was forced to submit to Zhang Xiaofan, after having a child, she gradually began to accept Zhang Xiaofan, and Zhang Xiaofan treated her extremely well, almost to the point of being meticulous.
That period was the happiest time she had in the Corpse Demon Sect, which gradually improved her perception of the Cultivation World. She gradually felt that with someone by her side, the path of cultivation might not be as arduous as she had previously imagined.
However, she underestimated the complexity of human nature and overestimated Zhang Xiaofan's loyalty to love!
The good times didn't last long; not long after, Zhang Xiaofan got involved with Lu Chan.
Zhang Xiaofan, who had climbed the social ladder, didn't want his affair with Chen Yi to be exposed. When the petty and narrow-minded Lu Chan found out, she forced Chen Yi to have an abortion.
Originally, it was thought that the emotional entanglement between the two would be covered up, but for some reason, Lu Chan found out not long ago.
Lu Chan is narrow-minded and vindictive.
During this escape attempt, Chen Yi was extremely unlucky and ran into Lu Chan and her three companions.
That's how the scene in the Cave came about.
Song Wen also found Chen Yi's hometown address in his notes.
Zhaoguo Guancheng Wangjia Village!
"Zhao Kingdom?" Song Wen murmured softly.
The Beast Taming Sect 'East Birch Market, which is quite famous in the Cultivation World, seems to be not far from the Zhao Kingdom.
Perhaps we could try searching at the Beast Taming Sect to see if they have a method to advance the Black Armor Gu and evolve it into the Sacred Beetle Gu.
Although the Black Armor Gu is Gu Worm, while the Beast Taming Sect raises spirit beasts and spirit worms, they ultimately lead to the same goal. One can learn from others' methods and perhaps find a new way to cultivate Gu Worm from the Beast Taming Sect.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Senior Brother Xu's family was also in the Zhao Kingdom.
"Let's go then. We can also stop by Senior Brother Xu's house while we're there. After all, I promised him and even took two bottles of Corpse-Baleful Qi from him."
In the current war between the righteous and the demonic, it is clearly unwise to linger in the demonic territory. It is best to stay as far away as possible and take this opportunity to visit the righteous territory.
After traveling for two more days, Song Wen finally left the Vast Azure Mountain Range. The mountains in front of him gradually became shorter, no longer the towering peaks he had seen before.
This place is no longer the territory of the demonic path, so there's no need to be as cautious as before.
Song Wen took out the flying boat, activated the Longevity Art, and propelled the flying boat into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
The back mountain of Wang Family Village.
The villagers, busy making a living day in and day out, did not notice the newly erected small grave mound.
There was no tombstone, nor any incense, candles, or paper money on the grave.
Not far down the mountain, there was a dilapidated Small Courtyard Small Courtyard an elderly couple, their son and daughter-in-law, and their two grandsons lived.
Whenever a traveling merchant passed through the village, the elderly couple would ask him if he had seen their daughter, who had been missing for several years.
Back then, Chen Yi was home alone when she was forcibly abducted by Shi Shou. Her parents had no idea where she went and have been searching for her all these years, clinging to a sliver of hope.
After burying Chen Yi, Song Wen rushed to Xu Shixiong's house.
Senior Brother Xu's family is quite wealthy; his father is a rich man, but he is already over seventy years old. In this world where medical knowledge is not advanced, seventy is considered a long life, an age when one is nearing the end of one's life.
As for Senior Brother Xu's mother, she has been gone for many years.
When the old man heard the news that Song Wen had come to escort his senior brother Xu, he smiled for a moment and then kept wiping away tears.
"How is Xu Liang?"
It was at this moment that Song Wen learned that Senior Brother Xu's real name was Xu Liang.
"Senior Brother Xu is doing well," Song Wen said.
"Then why didn't he come back by himself?" the old man asked.
Song Wen was speechless, unsure how to respond.
After Senior Brother Xu left, Song Wen never saw him again. Whether he succeeded in Foundation Establishment or not, he should return to the Corpse Demon Sect.
Senior Brother Xu's failure to return to the Corpse Demon Sect can only mean one thing...
Senior Brother Xu has most likely already perished.
After thinking for a long time, Song Wen, unsure how to comfort the old man, could only say something half-truthfully.
"Senior Brother Xu is studying the Dao; he has now become what Immortal call an immortal. There is a difference between immortals and mortals; it's beneficial for both of you if you no longer meet."
After using pure, righteous energy to cleanse the old man's body, Song Wen drifted away.
Next stop, East Birch Market!
