Zhu Yin's Invitation
Song Wen sat cross-legged and began to circulate the <Soul-Banishing Technique>.
The breakthrough in Divine Sense went smoothly. Nourished by enough soul fragments, the breakthrough was a natural progression. In just seven months, the Divine Sense advanced to the Peak Golden Core Stage.
Song Wen did not end his seclusion there; he began to cultivate the 'Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes'.
He took out an eye from the Abyss Sea Butterfly.
Its demonic eyes were as large as lanterns, blood red, like a scarlet gemstone.
Under Song Wen's Law Power control, two drops of scarlet liquid flew from the demon's eyes and dripped into Song Wen's eyes.
In an instant, Song Wen felt a burning sensation rise in his eyes, as if they were on fire.
Song Wen gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his eyes. With a thought, he summoned a jade box.
The jade box was opened, revealing a vibrant green spiritual herb.
This spiritual herb is called Zhu Yu Grass, a third-tier spirit medicine, needed for cultivating the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes. It was purchased by Song Wen in the market.
Song Wen plucked two leaves from the Zhu Yu Grass and stuck them over his eyes.
Instantly, a cool breeze emanated from the leaves, relieving the burning sensation in my eyes considerably.
Following the Cultivation Method the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes, Song Wen circulated his Law Power to absorb the spiritual energy contained in the demon eye and the Zhu Yu Grass.
Time passed little by little.
After absorbing the spiritual energy of this demon eye, Song Wen took out another demon eye, and he also changed the spirit medicine used to aid his cultivation several times.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the spirituality of the two demonic eyes was completely absorbed.
Song Wen's eyes gleamed with a captivating red light, as if they could see through all appearances.
Everything in his field of vision had become vastly different from what it used to be.
He could see the spiritual energy fluctuations of these things, and these fluctuations were all different.
Curious, Song Wen took out Spirit Stone, Law Treasure, pills, and spiritual herbs and examined them one by one.
After several dozen breaths, he suddenly felt his eyes were dry and stinging, so he quickly closed them and dared not continue to use the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes.
After the stinging sensation subsided, Song Wen opened his eyes again, his eyes still flashing with a red light.
He turned his gaze to the ground of the cave abode, where the rocks were lifeless and devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations.
But inside the rock, Song Wen saw a piece of Coldwater Stone.
Coldwater Stone is a low-grade spiritual ore that occasionally appears in the rock strata of Extreme Yin Island. Song Wen dug up dozens of pieces when he was excavating the cave abode.
For Song Wen, the value of a single Coldwater Stone was insignificant, but he could see Coldwater Stone buried a foot below the ground, which meant that his Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes possessed the ability to see through things.
This kind of perspective is not visual perspective, but rather the ability to perceive the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Coldwater Stone inside the rock.
After repeated attempts, Song Wen discovered that the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes could see through rocks about three zhang thick, but it could not see through the jade box containing the spiritual herbs.
The jade box was engraved with a restriction to prevent the dissipation of spiritual energy, thus blocking the leakage of the spirit medicine inside.
Song Wen closed his eyes to rest for several hours before taking out his Pill Furnace and beginning to refine the Blood Spirit Pill.
He had recently acquired quite a few Spirit Stone, possessing 240 Superior Spirit Stones alone, so he was not short of Spirit Stone for the time being. Song Wen decided to continue his seclusion to improve his cultivation.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
That day.
The Message Jade Slip suddenly received a message from An Yin.
[Senior, there's movement from the Starline Formation; a message has arrived from Limitless Island.]
After finishing his cultivation, Song Wen arrived at the two women's cave abode.
As soon as Song Wen entered the cave abode, he discovered that in one corner of the cave abode, there was a Xiao Shan that had been carved out on its own, and inside the Cave, there was a low-level Spirit Gathering Formation.
An Tong is cultivating inside the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"My sister is attempting to Foundation Establishment," An Tong explained.
Song Wen nodded without saying much. He went to the Starline Formation and read the information within it.
[Extreme Yin, this is Zhu Yin. I have something to discuss with you and hope you can come to Limitless Island as soon as possible.]
"It's been a while since I've been to Limitless Island; it's time to show my face," Song Wen thought to himself.
[Fellow Zhu Yin has invited me; I will certainly accept the invitation.]
After replying to Zhu Yin, Song Wen said to An Yin.
"I'm going to Limitless Island. You guard the island."
"Yes, senior."
Two hours later, Song Wen met Zhu Yin outside Corpse King Valley.
Judging from Zhu Yin's appearance, she must have been waiting here for some time.
"Greetings, Fellow Zhu Yin. I am ashamed to have kept you waiting," Song Wen said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Zhu Yin said, "Extreme Yin, we've known each other for a long time, why be so polite?"
Song Wen asked, "May I ask what brings you here today, my friend?"
Zhu Yin said, "This matter also involves two other people. Fellow Daoist, please come with me, and I will explain in detail later."
After saying that, Zhu Yin flew into the interior of Corpse King Valley.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Wen followed.
The two continued on their way and arrived at a cave abode on the west side of the valley.
There were already two people inside the cave abode. One of them was Yuan Qing, and the other was an old man whom Song Wen had never seen before. He Middle Golden Core Stage.
"Extreme Yin, you've finally arrived."
It seems that Yuan Qing greeted Song Wen and Zhu Yin with a smile as they entered the cave abode.
He pointed to the old man and continued, "Let me introduce you. This is Fellow Si Xi, a renowned array master from the inner sect."
"This is Extreme Yin, Golden Core elder from the outer sect, whose alchemy skills are exceptional."
The following sentence was spoken by Yuan Qing to the old man.
"Greetings, Fellow Si Xi," Song Wen said to the old man.
The latter nodded slightly to Song Wen, as if to say hello.
While the three exchanged pleasantries, Zhu Yin activated several arrays within the cave abode to ensure that no activity within the cave abode would leak out.
Zhu Yin said, "Extreme Yin, Si Xi, fellow Daoists, we invited you here today because Senior Brother Yuan Qing and I have a favor to ask of you."
Song Wen and Si Xi remained silent, watching Zhu Yin intently, awaiting her next words.
Zhu Yin said, "We would like to invite the two of you to accompany us to the Rebirth Valley."
Upon hearing Si Xi frowned slightly, appearing deep in thought.
Song Wen's heart skipped a beat. His original plan was to advance to the Late Golden Core Stage before going to the Rebirth Valley to find the Five-Colored Gold.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly received an invitation from Zhu Yin today.
Although he was tempted, Song Wen did not show it at all, instead appearing hesitant to decline.
"Fellow Zhu Yin, the Rebirth Valley is extremely dangerous. With my meager cultivation at the Golden Core Early Stage, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."
To avoid attracting too much attention, Song Wen did not reveal his true cultivation level, but instead presented himself as having the cultivation level of the Golden Core Early Stage.
Si Xi nodded silently, also showing an expression of reluctance to go.
Yuan Qing said, "Fellow Daoists, please don't be so quick to refuse. Please allow me to explain in detail before you make your decision. Regardless of whether you ultimately wish to go or not, my fellow disciples and I will have no objections."
