CHAPTER 94: Senior Brother Qian (Requesting Subscription!!)
After discussing serious matters, the three began to chat about some strange events. The two older men, having lived for decades, shared experiences that left Liu Yu feeling enlightened.
Once the tea in the cups was refilled three times and emptied, Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang took the opportunity to bid farewell.
Gongsun Cang stored the storage bag away, and the two took out their respective magical artifacts, transforming into two beams of light—one black and one blue—flying off in different directions.
With the disappearance of the fellow cultivators association, the matter concerning the infiltration of the Heavenly Harmony Sect cultivators had come to a complete end.
…
Liu Yu put away the tea set, leaning against the railing of the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, pulling out the “Art of Spirit Preservation” written in a book and studying it word by word.
He occasionally furrowed his brows, recalling the annotations made by predecessors whenever he encountered parts he didn’t understand. He pondered over each spell gesture multiple times, fearing that he might misinterpret it and make mistakes during his cultivation.
Fortunately, the jade tube contained not only the cultivation technique but also annotations made by the predecessors who created this technique as well as later cultivators who obtained it. Otherwise, as a mere qi refinement stage cultivator, it would take Liu Yu at least ten years to comprehend such an intricate technique from the basics.
Days passed as he immersed himself in the cultivation technique, consumed the Azure Spirit Pill for practice, and familiarized himself with the newly refined magical artifacts.
On this day, Liu Yu was in the courtyard of the mansion, familiarizing himself with the dark green gourd he had just refined.
He directed the magical power from his dantian through his meridians into the gourd in his hand.
The dark green gourd suddenly emitted a green glow, and the spiritual water energy from the surroundings flowed into the gourd's mouth, transforming into a green venom through the artifact’s conversion.
“Zizizi”
A burst of venom shot from the gourd's mouth, hitting a tall tree over ten zhang away. It pierced through the tree and continued to penetrate five trees before finally stopping.
Smoke poured from the holes, accompanied by a faint corrosive sound. Within a couple of breaths, several large trees collapsed with a crash, rapidly turning yellow and withering.
Liu Yu watched the chaos caused by the venom, a smile appearing on his face as he felt quite satisfied with this magical artifact.
In a critical moment, using this artifact, as long as the enemy touches even a bit, they would surely succumb to the poison in no time.
At least a qi refinement stage cultivator would have no way to withstand it unless they had a high-quality detoxifying elixir, this was certain.
While Liu Yu was studying the power and uses of the artifact, a guard from the mansion approached, kneeling on one knee to pay his respects before speaking:
“Reporting to Master Liu, the city lord invites you to the city lord’s mansion to meet, claiming that an immortal master from the sect has come to see you!”
Waving the guard away, Liu Yu understood; this was the sect sending a cultivator to investigate matters.
Such cultivators sent to investigate on behalf of the sect represented the authority of the Yuan Yang Sect, either being of significant background or having profound cultivation.
Liu Yu did not dare to delay, immediately taking out the Golden Dragon Sword and flying toward the city lord’s mansion.
This time he did not hide his movements, attracting many ignorant civilians who exclaimed "immortal" in awe.
Before long, he arrived at the city lord’s mansion, the escape light dissipating as he put away his magical artifact.
Liu Yu extended his spiritual perception toward the mansion. In his perception, there was a powerful spiritual pressure and aura inside.
