Vengeance for a murdered son
"[You claim that Senior Mi He killed my Lei Clan patriarch, do you have any evidence?]" Lei Yue asked.
An Image-Recording Stone suddenly appeared in Song Wen's hand.
[The evidence you want is all in here.] Song Wen Wendao.
Lei Yue glanced at the guards next to Song Wen.
Song Wen immediately understood and tossed the Image-Recording Stone to the guard.
The guard, who Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, hurriedly accepted the Image-Recording Stone, looking completely bewildered.
"Give this to your patriarch," Song Wen said.
The guard nodded hastily, then passed through the array barrier and entered the city.
Lei Yue took the Image-Recording Stone from the guard, and with a thought, a white, hazy Law Power barrier suddenly condensed.
This barrier isolates others from sight and Divine Sense perception.
Lei Jun activated the Image-Recording Stone and witnessed Mi He flying sword to kill Lei Yue and annihilate his soul.
Although he had expected it, Lei Jun's heart sank when he actually saw this scene.
It's true that Ancestor Lei Yue died at the hands of Mi He. Mi He will probably soon lead the Beast Taming Sect members to wipe out the Lei Clan.
A few breaths later, the barrier disappeared.
[Thank you, Your Excellency.] Lei Jun continued to transmit the message using the Jade Slip.
[Just a transaction.]
Song Wen replied, then turned to leave.
"Wait a moment, Your Excellency," Lei Jun called out to Song Wen.
"Is there anything else?" Song Wen asked.
"[You killed my son, Lei Tianyu, didn't you?]" Lei Jun asked.
Song Wen was unusually forthright for once, [yes].
Lei Jun's gaze was sharp, his eyes fixed intently on Song Wen.
[Does Patriarch Lei Clan want revenge on me? I'm right here right now. This is a golden opportunity for revenge. Patriarch Lei Clan, you should seize this chance.] As he spoke, a meaningful smile appeared on Song Wen's lips.
"How dare I! You are a Nascent Soul Cultivator, how could I be your match?" Lei Jun said.
Separated by the array barrier, Song Wen stared at Lei Jun for a moment, then turned and left.
Song Wen traveled over 200,000 li and arrived directly at Azure Mountain.
On Azure Mountain, vegetation is sparse, rocks are exposed, and occasionally a few stubborn trees grow in the crevices of the rocks.
Song Wen released his Divine Sense completely, scanning every inch of Azure Mountain.
Apart from a few low-level Demon Beast, Song Wen made no other discoveries.
Song Wen released two Shadow Gu and hid them on Azure Mountain. He himself fled to an Underground Cavern a thousand miles away, set up an array, and began to heal and recuperate.
Three days passed in a flash.
It was noon that day.
Mi He appeared precisely on time at the summit of Azure Mountain.
She came alone. But she was not unprepared. When she reached the summit, she had the Wind-Scale Beast thoroughly search the area around Azure Mountain.
Mi He landed on the mountaintop, Song Wen's figure appeared on the distant horizon.
After Song Wen approached, Mi He straight to the point.
"Fellow Daoist Cui, before we make the transaction, I need to verify the authenticity of the Cultivation Method."
Song Wen replied, "Of course."
After saying that, Song Wen raised his hand and threw out a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip contained the complete Cultivation Practice Method the <Soul-Concentrating Spike>, but it lacked the methods for refining Earth Spirit Pill, Heavenly Spirit Pill, and Holy Spirit Pill.
As Nascent Soul Cultivator, Mi He was able to determine that there was nothing wrong with the Cultivation Method in just a few dozen breaths.
Immediately, she raised her hand and tossed a Jade Slip to Song Wen.
Song Wen Law Power to suspend the Jade Slip in mid-air. After probing it with his Divine Sense, he discovered that the Jade Slip recorded thirty third-tier pill formulas and ten fourth-tier Pill Formula.
The Pill Formula was complete, but there were no instructions on how to Alchemy.
Song Wen said, "Fellow Daoist, can you tell me now where the Longevity Hall Secret Realm is?"
Mi He took out another Jade Slip and said.
"This Jade Slip contains the Alchemy tips you seek, as well as the exact location of the entrance to the Longevity Hall Secret Realm. Hand over the alchemy recipe for the accompanying pills for the <Soul-Concentrating Spike>, and this Jade Slip will be yours."
Song Wei nodded slightly and also took out a Jade Slip.
How about we exchange Jade Slip at the same time?
"Good."
Mi He readily agreed and immediately tossed out the Jade Slip in her hand.
Song Wen also tossed the Jade Slip over.
Mi He caught the Jade Slip that flew towards her and eagerly probed it with her Divine Sense.
Song Wen was more cautious. He Law Power to hold the Jade Slip in place from a distance, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he take the Jade Slip into his hand.
The two men had different reactions after examining the Jade Slip.
Song Wen's face showed satisfaction, and he cupped his hands in greeting.
"Fellow Mi He Mihe, until we meet again."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Mi He frowned and hurriedly called out to Song Wen.
"Fellow Daoist Cui Huo, wait a moment. Why is it that I have never heard of most of the spiritual items mentioned in this Jade Slip?"
Mi He discovered that almost all the spirit medicine needed to refine the three types of elixirs had different names than those Cultivation World today.
Fortunately, the Jade Slip contained detailed descriptions of the spirit medicine and included illustrations, so with a little time, most of the spirit medicine could be collected.
However, a small portion of these spirit medicine are simply unavailable in the current Cultivation World.
"I discovered the cultivation method for this <Soul-Concentrating Spike> in an Elder Ruins. Perhaps some of the spirit medicine involved have become extinct," Song Wen casually remarked.
Mi He scrutinized Song Wen with sharp eyes.
"You're not trying to fool me with a fake Pill Formula, are you?"
Song Wen, with an upright expression, said, "I swear on my very soul that there is absolutely no problem with the Pill Formula."
Mi He her with suspicion, "Since some spirit medicine have become extinct, how did you manage to cultivate successfully?"
Song Wen said, "There just so happens to be Earth Spirit Pill, Heavenly Spirit Pill, and one Holy Spirit Pill in that ruin."
Upon Mi He, Mihe looked doubtful.
"Your luck is really that good? You obtained the cultivation method for the <Soul-Concentrating Spike>, and you also happened to get three kinds of spiritual pills? And there was exactly one of each?"
Song Wen said, "Fellow Daoist, having seen the Pill Formula for the three kinds of elixirs, you should be able to see that, as Rogue Cultivator, it is impossible for me to refine these elixirs. Apart from obtaining them from the ruins, I have no other way to acquire these spirit medicine."
The Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Holy Spirit Pill require a large number of cultivators with Soul Source Body, and multiple third-tier Alchemist working together to refine them.
Mi He said, "If I can't gather all these spirit medicine, I won't be able to cultivate the <Soul-Concentrating Spike>. In that case, wouldn't this deal be completely pointless for me?"
Song Wen said, "This is what you need to consider, fellow Daoist. The pill Pill Formula you gave me also involves a large number of rare spirit medicine, which are extremely difficult for me, as Rogue Cultivator, to gather. Should I blame you for this?"
Upon Mi He, Mihe remained silent.
What Song Wen said made sense, and she couldn't refute it for a moment.
Then, Song Wen spoke again.
"I do have a solution that might resolve your current predicament."
Mi He looked up at Song Wen, seemingly doubting Song Wen was truly so kind.
"Fellow Daoist Cui, please speak," Mi He said.
Song Wen said, "Fellow Daoist, you can explore more Elder Ruins. Perhaps you can find those extinct spirit medicine in some of them."
After saying this, Song Wen, without Mi He's reaction, cupped his hands in farewell and said, "Farewell."
"Wait a minute."
Mi He called out to Song Wen again.
