Chapter 42: A false alarm, planning for the future
Then he let go of Wei Zhong's arm and shook his head:
"The five spiritual roots are all of low quality and cannot be cultivated."
Wei Zhong was even more puzzled, and then he heard him ask:
"Did you kill that kid who practiced blood body skills?"
Wei Zhong was shocked. It could be said that the entire Li family knew that he had killed Zhu Daoren, but the person in front of him actually knew that Zhu Daoren had practiced the "Blood Body Technique".
"What bloody body technique is this? I don't know anything about it, but I did kill an evil cultivator here the other day."
"Oh? Are you lying?"
When he said this, Wei Zhong felt his sea of consciousness tremble, and he was about to tell the truth.
But the Record of Time lurking in the sea of consciousness shook slightly and suppressed it.
"Every word I say is true."
"What about the monk's storage bag?"
"The struggle was fierce and it was destroyed."
"destroyed?"
The boy in red looked puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist Hongxu, I've been to that cave and I saw a lot of traces of fighting. There are even residual void fluctuations. The storage bag is indeed destroyed."
Wei Zhong suddenly discovered that at some point, a Taoist priest in a white robe with an immortal look came to his side and spoke to the boy in red.
The latter still did not give up after hearing this:
"Did you receive a small sword-like object from the monk?"
"Never."
He then asked other questions indirectly, and Wei Zhong answered them all flawlessly.
Seeing that there was no gain, the boy in red had to give up.
He looked back at the Taoist in white robe, and the two of them looked at each other and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
In the air, the Taoist in white robe said to the boy in red with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Hongxu is still merciful. Just search the boy's soul and you will know the answer. Why go to so much trouble to use the Mantra?"
The latter shook his head:
"I'm not as cruel as you, Daoist Fellow Bai Heng. Although he is just a minor foundation-building cultivator who has exhausted his potential, he is still a cultivator of the human race.
Fellow Daoist, please tell me about your discovery."
The Taoist in white robe said:
“After my investigation, I found that a fierce battle had indeed taken place in the cave on the mountain. Although it was cleaned up afterwards, it still revealed itself to me.
There was a strong smell of blood inside, and the taste was exactly the same as those of the bloody corpses we had killed before.
And from the traces left from the battle, it can be seen that this bloody body was directly killed by an attack close to the Jindan level, which turned it into powder, and the remaining force penetrated most of the mountain."
"An attack method close to Jindan? It seems that the junior has some luck, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the foundation-building stage at such an advanced age."
"Why, Brother Hongxu, are you moved?" Bai Heng joked with a smile.
The latter snorted:
"It's just the Jindan level, nothing more than talismans and treasures. I don't even care about these things. For a cultivator like me who has reached the Shenhua stage, only the method of transcendence is useful."
Bai Heng sighed upon hearing this:
"Yes, that's why we searched so hard and finally found the traces left by the former Blood Venerable. If we can learn his method, it will surely inspire us on our path."
Hongxu scratched his head:
"I don't know where this youngster came from, but he actually inherited the legacy of the Blood Venerable and even took the name of Blood Sea True Lord. He did evil things and really stained the name of the Blood Venerable. I heard that the Mingluo Sect next door also lost a good seedling with earth spirit roots. It's really a pity."
Bai Heng stroked his beard:
"In my opinion, this young man who calls himself Blood Sea has only received an incomplete inheritance. He mixed it with some unknown evil magic, which gave birth to this kind of life-threatening spell."
Hongxu nodded in agreement and then asked:
"By the way, Bai Heng, how many sets of inheritance have you obtained?"
The Taoist in white robe replied:
"Eight and a half sets, one of the jade slips was accidentally damaged during the fight."
"Haha, your half set is still one set short of mine. Speaking of which, one of my sets was picked up in a nearby valley. I wonder which descendant buried it underground."
"Oh, there are actually cautious juniors who can resist such temptation. Maybe they will have the opportunity to advance to our level in the future."
"Haha, the path of cultivation is so difficult. It's a blessing to be able to live to the end of your life. Become a god?" Hongxu shook his head.
······
Wei Zhong naturally had no idea what the two talked about after they left, and he had no idea that the jade token he had buried many years ago had been discovered and taken away.
He just turned around to look at Xie Linghua who was approaching and asked:
"After Li Haowen left, did you see anyone coming here?"
The latter shook his head and asked doubtfully:
"No," then seeing Wei Zhong's worried look, he added, "What happened to the master?"
Wei Zhong said nothing, but thought of the two monks who had suddenly arrived.
It is at least the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Divine Transformation stage.
Wei Zhong had never felt this powerless before. If he hadn't spoken out, he wouldn't have noticed it. He immediately restrained him, leaving him no chance to escape into the cave.
Fortunately, he had no ill intentions. Thinking of this, I was glad that I was cautious.
It turned out to be right not to increase the bone age to a young age all at once. Otherwise, for a person with all five elements and poor qualifications of low-grade spiritual roots, it would be problematic no matter how you look at it to enter the foundation-building stage in his twenties or thirties.
Now that his bone age is over a hundred years old, it is the normal age for building a foundation.
This slightly dispelled the other party's doubts, but what kind of secret method did the boy called Red Beard use to shake my sea of consciousness and force myself to tell the truth?
Fortunately, there was a time when the Light Treasure Record suppressed it, otherwise all of his secrets would be spilled out by himself.
That is when it will be a disaster.
Now the two of them thought that they had killed the Taoist Zhu by probably using some extremely powerful secret treasure.
What kind of secrets does the inheritance of True Lord Xuehai contain that could attract these two great masters to investigate?
Wei Zhong was also thinking about retrieving the inheritance that was buried many years ago later in order to deal with the enemies who were following the clues of Master Zhu.
Now that this has happened, I dare not do it anymore. Let the token and the jade slip be buried deep underground forever.
If someone comes from Hanzhu City, fight him if you can, run away if you can't.
However, after this incident, Hanzhu City probably calmed down. With such a powerful cultivator targeting it, there was no chance for a city of independent cultivators whose highest level was no more than the Golden Core to cause trouble.
So do I have a chance to go and take a look?
I used to be poor and weak, but now things are very different.
Not only has the foundation been successfully built, but I also have my own spiritual land and cave, so I can start planning my future route.
The first thing is to initially break away from the monopoly restrictions of the Qingmu Sect. Alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, formation formation, etc. must be put on the agenda.
Sometimes, with the proficiency panel granted by the Time Treasure Record and an almost endless lifespan, one can hone these skills to an extremely high level.
Use this as your own spiritual practice...
