An Experience Pack

Having successfully infiltrated the deep tunnel, Qi Yun didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately transformed into a wisp of pure energy and rapidly drifted deeper into the tunnel. He didn't know how long the chaos outside would last, so he had to race against time.

The passageway was unexpectedly long, sloping downwards, surrounded by cold, damp stone walls, with only a few scattered luminous stones providing a faint light.

Qi Yun ran at full speed, and it took him a full quarter of an hour before he felt that the road ahead suddenly opened up, as if he had reached the end.

Just as he was preparing to burst out of the tunnel and enter the more open space ahead...

A hoarse, dry voice, like sandpaper rubbing, suddenly rang out in the deathly silence of the darkness:

"If you want to die, then keep going."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an inexplicable air of authority.

Qi Yun felt a chill run down his spine, and his raised foot abruptly stopped in mid-air.

He narrowed his eyes and swept his Divine Sense forward like a tide, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, blocked or absorbed by an invisible force, unable to perceive the specific situation ahead.

Not daring to be careless, Qi Yun his hand and unleashed a bright ball of Southern Brightness Devil Fire.

The flickering flames instantly dispelled the darkness ahead and illuminated the scene before them.

This is a stone chamber of about 70 or 80 square meters, with bare walls, appearing very simple.

However, the scene in the center of the stone chamber was chilling.

A tall man was suspended in mid-air in a "T" shape, his limbs bound by thick black iron chains.

Other vital acupoints and even joints throughout the body were densely covered with slender gold needles.

Even his eyelids were pierced and sealed shut with gold needles, and the blood had long since congealed into dark lumps.

Yet, even in such a horrific state, where all five senses should have been lost...

This person actually sensed Qi Yun's arrival with remarkable accuracy and issued a warning!

Qi Yun's sharp gaze swept over the pitiful man, then looked at the distance not far behind him.

There were faint, strange patterns flowing across the ground, which corresponded to the subtle resonance emanating from the jade talisman in my hand.

The core node of the earth vein in the Xun position is located within this quiet room.

But he must go inside to activate the jade talisman to record the coordinates.

In a flash, Qi Yun suppressed his doubts and said:

"Thank you for your reminder. Judging from your appearance, you seem to have been framed by a villain and imprisoned here."

"If you can tell me the location of the danger inside, I might be able to rescue you in exchange. What do you think?"

However, the man hanging there let out a hoarse, unpleasant laugh, filled with deep sarcasm:

"Heh heh, can we really trust what the people from the Wuji Sacred Sect say?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun's aura suddenly turned icy and sharp, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

His identity has been exposed in one breath; this person must not be allowed to live!

His first instinct was to unleash Law Technique to kill and silence the witnesses.

"Wait a minute!" The man seemed to clearly sense Qi Yun's killing intent and immediately spoke up to stop him, his tone even carrying a hint of amusement.

"Not very old, but quite bloodthirsty. He'll start a fight at the drop of a hat. Interesting."

"Fine, since you were actually about to kill me just now, I'll tell you."

He paused for a moment, then cut to the chase:

"Inside this room, there is a [Profound Metal Seven Orifices Disk]."

As soon as you step within three steps of the door, the Xuanjin Qi will be instantly activated, sealing your eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and all the pores of your body, causing your True Qi to stagnate, your flesh and blood to stiffen, and ultimately turning you into a lifelike golden statue.

This is a magic plate personally set up by a cultivator who Qi Refining Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

With your cultivation level, forcing your way in would be certain death, and there's absolutely no way you could break through by force.

Upon hearing this detailed description, Qi Yun down his spine and temporarily suppressed the urge to take immediate action.

The other party seems interested in cooperation.

"You're telling me all this because you want me to rescue you, right?" Qi Yun cut to the chase.

"Nonsense!" the man replied rudely and bluntly. "Do you think I'd enjoy staying here looking like this?"

"But the problem is, I can't even get into this quiet room, so how can I save you?" Qi Yun's eyes flickered slightly as he pointed out the key difficulty.

"Simple!" The man seemed to have been waiting for these words: "You don't need to come in."

All you need to do is stand outside the door and use your skills to knock out the three main needles on my chest, abdomen, Dantian, and Baihui acupoint.

"Once these three main needles are removed, I have my own way of breaking this damned [Profound Metal Seven Orifices Bewilderment Disk]!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Qi Yun was taken aback for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Fine, since it's so difficult and the risks are too great, I'll just not take these Xun position coordinates."

After saying this in a calm tone, Qi Yun actually turned around and walked slowly back along the path he had come from.

He walked with a measured pace, as if he were truly preparing to leave.

One step, two steps, three steps—the distance of several meters was covered in an instant. The quiet room behind him, where the mysterious man was imprisoned, remained deathly silent, showing no intention of stopping him.

Aren't you going to call me? You really don't intend to stop me?

Qi Yun an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, a thought flashing through his mind: Could it be that removing the needles was truly the only way to enter this quiet room?

Just as he was hesitating whether to turn back and test the waters again, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly realized a crucial point.

The man's perception was so extraordinary that even after being tortured to such an extent and having his five senses sealed, he was still able to accurately identify himself as a disciple of the Wuji Sacred Sect.

He must have some special method to perceive the external environment.

Then he must also be able to "see" that he has not actually gone far away, but is just putting on an act.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun's lips curled into a cold smile.

He immediately activated the Concealing Aura-Concealing Pearl with all his might, maximizing the concealment effect of [Gather Form and Disperse Qi], making his entire being seem to completely blend into the shadows and air of the passageway.

Even the faintest breath has vanished.

Sure enough, just as he finished concealing himself, a very faint, surprised gasp came from the quiet room below:

"Hello?"

The sound was faint, but it was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence.

Qi Yun's inward sneer deepened.

Just as I expected!

Old fox, trying to trick me again?

The silence in the quiet room did not last long.

Soon, that hoarse voice rang out again, this time with a distinct allure.

"Hey kid outside! If you're willing to rescue me, I'll grant you an incredible fortuitous opportunity! What do you say?"

Qi Yun remained silent, like a stone statue.

Seeing no response, the voice seemed to grow impatient and increased its stakes:

"That's a secret map that leads directly to the Foundation Establishment Path!"

There are also countless rare and precious spirit medicine Law Treasure!

If you obtain it, your future Dao Path will be smooth and unobstructed!

Only his own echo remained in the passageway.

The man was clearly losing his temper, his tone tinged with exasperation:

"Come back here! Damn it! I'll show you how to safely crack this [Profound Metal Seven Orifices Bewilderment Disk]!"

You don't need to risk pulling out the needle!

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun, with his hands in his sleeves and a half-smile on his face, leisurely emerged from the shadows. He had been standing at the door the whole time and had never left.

"If you had been so frank from the beginning, wouldn't you have saved us a lot of trouble?"

"You!

The man was so angry that he was speechless for a moment. If his body hadn't been restrained, he would have already been furious and wanted to devour Qi Yun alive. With no other choice, the man had to tell Qi Yun in detail how to break the [Profound Metal Seven Orifices Bewilderment Disk].

The method was indeed ingenious, not a brute-force attack.

Instead, it requires vibrating three inconspicuous stone bricks at the entrance of the meditation room at a special frequency to temporarily disrupt the energy flow of the magic disc and open a safe passage.

Qi Yun did as instructed, flicking out three subtle streams of True Qi from his fingertips, which accurately hit the target.

Buzz!

With a soft sound, the faint light of the magical runes that had been flowing in the quiet room paused slightly.

The sense of danger in the entrance area vanished abruptly.

Qi Yun first calculated with his fingers, then tentatively placed his foot inside, and sure enough, he stepped into the quiet room unharmed.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the mission jade talisman.

Press it onto the most active location of the earth vein node in the sensor and activate it at full power!

The jade talisman instantly emitted a soft and steady light.

Begin replicating the precise coordinates of this location.

"Vein-Fixing Law Talisman?" The suspended man's earlobe twitched slightly, once again accurately sensing Qi Yun's movements and the nature of the jade talisman. His hoarse voice carried a hint of strangeness.

"Is the Wuji Sacred Sect about to officially take action against the Yellow Springs Netherworld?"

Immediately, he let out a low, eerie laugh:

"Hehehe - So, kid, we're allies now."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Let me go, and I'll help you deal with those bastards from the Yellow Springs Netherworld. How about it?

More people, more effort!

"That would be absolutely perfect."

Qi Yun gave a sincere smile and nodded.

He then walked up to the man who was hanging, calmly surveying his miserable state.

In the next instant, Qi Yun pointed his fingers together like a sword, and suddenly unleashed a fierce and unparalleled Sword Qi Sword Qi, which was surrounded by scorching and evil Southern Brightness Devil Fire!

Without the slightest hesitation, the finger pierced straight into the man's unsuspecting brow Sea of Consciousness.

The intention couldn't be clearer.

One strike, and he was utterly destroyed, body and soul!

Knowing who I am, you still expect me to let you out?

Kill them, throw them to the skeletons, and suck their marrow from their bones – that's the right way.

This person has been tortured to this state, yet still possesses such methods; their cultivation level must be extremely high. They are certainly a valuable "experience pack"!
