Junior Brother Extreme Yin

Song Wen shook his head and did not take the Hidden Soul Jade that Zhou Siyi offered.

"This item is useless to me now."

Song Wen patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and the Nether Fox suddenly appeared.

"Master, you've finally let me out! Your spirit beast pouch was too small; it was so cramped inside."

The voice of the Nether Fox rang in Song Wen and Zhou Siyi's minds at the same time.

Zhou Siyi looked at the Nether Fox and asked.

"Junior Brother Wu, is this your spirit beast?"

Song Wen nodded. "This is Nether Fox. The Hidden Soul Jade is made from the brow bone of a third-tier Nether Fox."

"Does that mean you intend to kill it and take its brow bone, junior brother?" Zhou Siyi asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the Nether Fox bristled, each hair standing on end like a giant hedgehog.

It snarled and glared at Song Wen.

"Human Race, you promised that as long as I serve you for a hundred years, you will not kill me."

In its rage, the Nether Fox stopped calling Song Wen its master and started referring to Human Race.

Song Wen glanced at the ruffled Nether Fox, ignored it, and spoke to Zhou Siyi instead.

"I don't need to kill it. Signing a spirit beast contract with it and putting it in my spirit beast pouch will also conceal my soul fluctuations."

This is Song Wen discovered only after he subdued the Nether Fox.

Otherwise, he would have already killed the fox and taken its bones.

As for the promise he made to the Nether Fox, it was just a promise, not Soul Oath.

Is what you're saying true?

Zhou Siyi was somewhat worried, as if she was afraid that Song Wen was deceiving her.

Song Wen replied, "Of course."

There was one more thing he hadn't revealed to Zhou Siyi: with his current strength and abilities, if Tai He was still in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and Tai He had no helpers or had set up a formation beforehand, Song Wen could protect himself even if he couldn't kill Tai He.

Seeing that Song Wen had no intention of killing him, Nether Fox immediately relaxed.

"I knew it! Master, you are a man of your word; how could you break your promise?"

Song Wen didn't want to listen to the Nether Fox's nonsense, so he put it back into his spirit beast pouch.

Zhou Siyi turned her head, stared at Song Wen with her bright eyes, and said earnestly.

"By the way, should I call you Junior Brother Wu, or 'Extreme Yin'?"

Song Wen said, "Just call me Extreme Yin. Wu Sheng is my alias."

"Alright, then I'll call you Extreme Yin Brother Jiyin from now on. Your cultivation is now a whole realm higher than mine, so you shouldn't mind if I continue to call you 'Junior Brother,' right?" Zhou Siyi said.

"Senior Sister Zhou, whatever makes you happy is fine with me. You can call me whatever you like," Song Wen said.

Zhou Siyi's eyes curved into crescent moons, showing that she was extremely happy.

"Okay, then you'll still be my junior brother from now on."

Song Wen said, "Senior Sister Zhou, Lei Weiyue is not trustworthy. Although she is unlikely to return to the Lei Clan own initiative, there is no guarantee that she won't fall into the Lei Clan hands. She knows the location of this cave abode, so we should leave as soon as possible."

"Where are we going?" Zhou Siyi asked.

"Let's go to East Birch Market," Song Wen said.

"There are many disciples of the Beast Taming Sect in East Birch Market, and quite a few of them know me. If I go to East Birch Market, I might be recognized," Zhou Siyi said with concern.

"That's easy."

Song Wen took out a veil.

This veil originally belonged to Xing Xinxin; it was a Law Treasure with remarkable effects in concealing one's aura.

Xing Xinxin once used this treasure to conceal the aura of the Corpse Path on her body, making it undetectable even to Xing Gaohan. This demonstrates the remarkable effectiveness of its aura-concealing properties.

After Zhou Siyi put on a veil to conceal her appearance, Song Wen Wenyu took her to East Birch Market.

Song Wen rented a courtyard in the market to temporarily house Zhou Siyi.

Considering that Zhou Siyi's Dantian was damaged and she could not use her magic Law Power, Song Wen summoned a Shadow Gu.

"Senior Sister Zhou, it's best if you stay home unless absolutely necessary. I'll retrieve the Essence Sea Fruit as soon as possible to rebuild your Dantian. Also, this Gu Worm will stay with you for now, for your protection."

Zhou Siyi looked at the Shadow Gu that had landed in her palm, her eyes showing great interest.

"Extreme Yin, you've raised this Gu Worm quite well. But why don't you continue to nurture it and further enhance its strength?" Zhou Siyi asked.

Song Wen looked distressed and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I've tried everything, but I haven't been able to make it any stronger."

"If you agree, Junior Brother, I can help you think of a way," Zhou Siyi said.

"Oh? Senior Sister has a way to enhance the strength of the Gu Worms?" Song Wen asked.

Zhou Siyi said, "I have some ideas, but we'll have to try them out to know the specific effects."

"Then I'll leave it to Senior Sister Zhou," Song Wen said.

Song Wen took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhou Siyi.

The storage ring contained pills commonly used by Golden Core cultivators and some Spirit Stones.

In addition, there was a flying sword, a shield, a cloak, and Pill Furnace, all of which were low-grade Law Treasures obtained by Song Wen through murder.

After Zhou Siyi was imprisoned by the Lei Clan, her spirit beast and storage ring were taken away by the Lei Clan, leaving her with nothing.

After examining the storage ring, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Siyi's eyes.

"Extreme Yin, are you giving all of these to me?"

"These items are of little use to me now, Senior Sister, you should keep them," Song Wen said.

Zhou Siyi didn't stand on ceremony; she genuinely needed these things.

"Then thank you very much, Junior Brother. However, I'm afraid I can never repay your kindness."

"If Senior Sister can help me cultivate the Gu Worms to the fourth level, these things of mine will probably be worth less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of its value," Song Wen said with a smile.

"Junior brother, you really dare to dream big. Fourth-tier Gu Worms aren't so easy to cultivate."

Zhou Siyi's response seemed casual, but she had a plan in mind.

After settling Zhou Siyi in, Song Wen left East Birch Market.

That night.

Song Wen arrived at the Mountain Ravine Ghost Market.

The items sold in the Ghost Market are mostly of dubious origin, or are the souls, corpses, Essence Blood, blood, Yin Soul, ghostly energy, and Corpse-Baleful Qi used by demonic cultivators.

However, most of the larger shops in the Ghost Market are controlled by the Beast Taming Sect and the Lei Clan, who consider themselves righteous.

Song Wen appeared to be a middle-aged Rogue Cultivator, but his cultivation aura indicated that he had just entered the Golden Core Realm.

He entered a fairly large Law Technique shop.

"Senior, what would you like to buy?" A servant at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer approached.

"Does your shop sell Cultivation Practice Method for the Golden Core stage? Preferably Wood Element Cultivation Method," Song Wen asked.

The waiter shook his head. "I'm sorry, senior. Our shop doesn't have Cultivation Practice Method for the Golden Core stage."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen felt somewhat dejected and sighed.

"Alas! East Birch Market doesn't have it, not even the Ghost Market. Does this mean that if we want to obtain the cultivation method for the Golden Core stage, we really have no choice but to rely on the major powers?"

Song Wen muttered a few words under his breath.

He lifted his leg to walk out, but suddenly stopped and continued speaking to the servant.

"Could you please bring out your manager? I'd like to have a detailed discussion with him in person?"

"Of course, please wait a moment, senior. I will go and inform the steward immediately," the servant said.
