Mysterious Maiden Yin Charm Art
"Pang Heng and the other three all share a common characteristic: they all cultivate the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>. So, I went to Elder Bi Zhan of the Transmission Hall and learned from him that he had received a bribe from Han Wu to leak the list of those who cultivate the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>."
"Then, I found Han Wu. According to him, he gave the list to a mysterious Golden Core cultivator. But he didn't know the Golden Core cultivator's true identity; only Jing Kai knew."
"So, I went to find Jing Kai again. From Jing Kai, I learned your identity."
Zhu Yin spoke slowly and deliberately, seemingly without any concern that Song Wen would suddenly attack her.
She continued, "You can rest assured, no one else knows about this except me. Furthermore, I have already completely resolved things for you regarding Jing Kai and Han Wu."
Song Wen frowned slightly. "Why did you do this?"
"To gain your trust," Zhu Yin said.
"Why?" Song Wen asked.
"Infant Spirit Pill! As long as you can refine the Infant Spirit Pill as soon as possible, even if you kill all the Golden Core cultivators of the Limitless Sect, it has nothing to do with me," Zhu Yin said firmly.
"You're also a Golden Core cultivator from the Limitless Sect, aren't you afraid I'll attack you?" Song Wen asked with a mocking expression.
"You wouldn't. You're a very purposeful person; you only act when it benefits you. You won't do anything that doesn't. Although I don't know why you're hunting down those who cultivate the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>, I haven't cultivated that Cultivation Method. By the way, you're still having Han Wu investigate the Cultivation Method I cultivate. I can tell you directly, I cultivate the <Mysterious Maiden Yin Charm Art>."
Song Wen glanced at Zhu Yin strangely, not understanding why the other party would voluntarily reveal the Cultivation Method she practiced.
Song Wen had never heard of the <Mysterious Maiden Yin Charm Art> that Zhu Yin practiced; it must be a little-known Cultivation Practice Method.
"When exactly do you plan to begin refining the Infant Spirit Pill?"
Zhu Yin seemed unwilling to discuss the Cultivation Method further and took the initiative to change the subject.
"It's too early to start refining the Infant Spirit Pill now. I plan to start refining it three years later," Song Wen said.
"Why do you insist on waiting three years before you start Alchemy?" Zhu Yin asked.
"I need some time to comprehend the Pill Formula and the insights gained from Alchemy," Song Wen replied casually.
He had already begun to study the Pill Formula for the Infant Spirit Pill and his insights into Alchemy.
The real reason is that he needs time to stabilize his rapidly increasing cultivation level.
Zhu Yin pondered for a moment, then replied,
"Okay. I'll wait for you for three more years. I'll come back to find you in three years."
After saying that, she removed the soundproof barrier and flew towards the Star Raft Divine Ark.
Halfway through the flight, she suddenly stopped and sent a telepathic message to Song Wen.
"By the way, you don't need to hide anymore. With me here, the Limitless Sect won't suspect you."
After the Star Raft Divine Ark sailed far away, Song Wen lowered his altitude and landed on Extreme Yin Island.
After wandering around the island, he dived into the sea and returned to the deserted island.
Despite Zhu Yin's confident assurances, Song Wen did not act in accordance with Zhu Yin's instructions.
Even if Zhu Yin genuinely helps Song Wen cover everything up, there's always the fear that something unexpected might happen.
The uninhabited island lacks Spiritual Qi, and seclusion here would require a large amount of Spirit Stone, but Spirit Stone are the last thing Song Wen has in abundance right now.
Currently, he has a full 1,700 Superior Spirit Stones, enough for him to squander.
Time passed slowly as he cultivated.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, something unexpected happened to Song Wen.
His Divine Sense broke through to the Nascent Soul Early Stage realm.
This breakthrough in Divine Sense was exceptionally smooth, and it happened unexpectedly and by chance.
The breakthrough in his Divine Sense was undoubtedly good news for Song Wen, giving him greater confidence in successfully refining the Infant Spirit Pill.
In the three years that followed, Song Wen only appeared on Extreme Yin Island three times.
He appeared to give An Yin Spirit Stone so she could pay the island rent. He also wanted her to investigate the movements of Extreme Yin Island.
Two years ago, Song Wen sent a Shadow Gu to infiltrate the trench next to Yi Hong Island, but failed to find the Star Raft Divine Ark.
It's unclear whether the Star Raft Divine Ark was reclaimed by the Limitless Sect or picked up by a passerby.
That day.
Zhu Yin's figure reappeared on the Extreme Yin Island.
Song Wen, who had long anticipated her arrival, was already waiting in his cave abode on Extreme Yin Island.
"Fellow Zhu Yin, let's come to my cave abode to discuss this."
As he spoke, Song Wen opened the door to the cave abode located beneath the sea.
Zhu Yin flashed to the entrance of the cave abode, pondered for a moment, and then entered the cave abode.
Passing through the winding and narrow passage, Zhu Yin climbed steeply all the way up to Song Wen's cave abode.
"Your cave abode is quite well hidden, with the entrance underwater. No wonder your maid, who has lived on the island for twenty years, didn't know where your cave abode was." Zhu Yin's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
"I am not the same as you, fellow Daoist. You have the Limitless Sect as your backing and a master in the Nascent Soul Late Stage behind you, so you are naturally fearless in your actions. To put it nicely, I am an Outer Sect Elder, but in reality, how am I different from Rogue Cultivator? If I were not careful, my bones would probably have turned to ashes long ago," Song Wen said.
Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed across Zhu Yin's face, but she quickly concealed it.
She looked around and surveyed the entire cave abode.
The interior of the cave abode dwelling was extremely simple, almost sparsely furnished.
Apart from defensive, concealment, and spirit-gathering formations, all that could be seen was a Meditation Cushion and a Pill Furnace; nothing else.
"Your cave abode is quite rudimentary."
"We cultivators pursue longevity and immortality. What use is cave abode that is arranged to be the most comfortable?" Song Wen said calmly.
Zhu Yin gave Song Wen a deep look, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
Admittedly, what Song Wen said was true, but how many people in the entire Cultivation World can truly do it?
The path of cultivation is long and tedious, especially in such a dark and quiet cave abode.
Although it's easier to concentrate in such cave abode, over time, one inevitably feels lonely and depressed.
"Fellow Daoist, you didn't come here to visit my cave abode, did you? Or perhaps you were worried I was lonely and came to keep me company?" Song Wen's tone carried a hint of teasing.
Zhu Yin glared at her, "The three-year period is up. When do you plan to refine the Infant Spirit Pill?"
"Anytime is fine," Song Wen said.
During these three years, while consolidating his cultivation, Song Wen also occasionally studied the refining method of the Infant Spirit Pill and had already gained some understanding.
"How confident are you that you can successfully refine the Infant Spirit Pill?" Zhu Yin asked solemnly.
Song Wen also stopped smiling and said in a deep voice.
"I can only say I'll do my best. This is a fourth-grade pill; who dares to say they have absolute confidence?"
Zhu Yin raised her hand and waved it, sending a Storage Bag flying out.
"These are the ingredients for three Infant Spirit Pill spirit medicine. According to our original agreement, as long as you refine the Infant Spirit Pill, no matter how many you have, one of them will be mine."
Song Wen took the Storage Bag.
"Don't worry, I won't break my promise."
Zhu Yin nodded and turned to walk towards a corner of the cave abode.
It seems they intend to stay here and not leave.
"Fellow Zhu Yin, what are you doing?" Song Wen asked.
Zhu Yin took out a Meditation Cushion, sat down cross-legged, and then slowly began to speak.
"Nature will protect you, so that your Alchemy will not be disturbed."
