The 151st Cultivation Gate (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  Inside the narrow valley. The rain was still pouring down. The few people standing at the scene all had a solemn expression.

  "Still no news of Xian Yu's whereabouts?"

  The person asking the question was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Xian Yu Ping. At this moment, he was using his hands to dig into the muddy soil under his feet, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

  "It's already been seven days. If Xian Yu's younger brother is still alive, he should have shown up by now! I think it's likely that something unfortunate has happened to him."

  Behind the middle-aged man, an old man in white robes stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the ground: "Huyan Shidi, have you figured out anything yet?"

  "Where can I see it? Such a thorny situation, and yet in all these years of serving Lord Hai, this is the first time I've encountered it—"

  Although it was inserted in the mud, when Hualian Hai withdrew his hand, his fingers and the back of his hand were still white and clean as jade. At this time, a hint of disappointment also appeared on Hualian Hai's face: "That person is very careful, no matter the smell, traces or even hair, not a single thread was left behind. Even the bodies of my fellow disciples are probably already thrown into the Yunshuo River by now! That person is likely to have chosen this place because it is easy to destroy evidence and cover up the crime. And this rain is really untimely, after several days and nights, there are very few clues left."

  The old man looked up at the sky, then gazed at the vast river beside him, his face filled with helplessness. For those born strong, entering the water would weaken their combat strength by at least 70%. In this Cloud River, he had tried to search for a way in before, but couldn't dive too deep.

  "Yan Shixiong! Now I can only be sure that the murderer's strength is indeed extremely powerful. Look at this ground, although it was filled in afterwards, the entire geology is still loose and soft on the bottom layer. I think it should be the shell beast ridden by Shidi that was pressed into the ground. Such strength can only be possessed by a pre-heavenly Wu Zong-level expert! In addition, what can be confirmed is that the opponent has been holding onto a type of vine-like seventh-grade spiritual species."

  At this point, Hu Yanhai smiled slightly. "However, all of these are meaningless! Actually, what I want to see most now is the corpse of Xian Yu Shixiong. The other party will destroy all the corpses of the beast that Shidi had. It's likely that among them, most contain secrets that can reveal his identity..."

  The old man with the surname Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that he shouldn't know this. If it were Xian Yu Ping's body, they wouldn't have to search far and wide for it, and they could directly find the avenger without having to stay here.

  "The only clue now is those two little girls who are still alive in Zhang and Li's families!"

  Hu Yanhai's tone suddenly changed, turning into an inquiry: "What is the situation in Licheng?"

  "It's tough! That person, after sending the people back, also left a letter. It says that if these two women fall into our Chongyun Gate's hands, they will definitely annihilate both families! They use this as an excuse. We're probably unable to get the person."

  The old man with the surname Yan frowned, his face extremely unoptimistic: "I'm now suspicious that he might have deliberately led me to make Cloud Gate and these two families enemies. The Zhang and Li families have been neutral for many years, with connections to all parties and great influence, and some of their members are even under the big sects. If we force our way in... it would be extremely unwise! It's not possible that they'll really come knocking on our door..."

  Hu Yanhai's eyes narrowed slightly, this letter had truly grasped the weak point of everyone. Although there were strong people in both families of Li City, it was impossible for them to stay in Li City all the time. If there was a 1-2% chance of getting those two girls before, now it was less than half a percent. The fact that the perpetrator had left the lives of the two women intact already showed an attitude of not wanting to be enemies with both families, and the Zhang and Li families would definitely return the favor. In short, Hu Yanhai had long understood the art of going with the flow for these two big families in Li City.

  "After receiving the news from the sect, they have already invited a soul master who is skilled in the Soul-Confusing Technique to rush over, but it seems that there's no use!"

  At this point, the old man with the surname Yan let out another bitter laugh. There were soul masters near Lei City. Presumably before they arrived, the two families of Yue and Li must have also thought of a way to deal with it.

  "This illness of losing one's soul, unless there is a master with a solid foundation and a deep understanding of medicine who takes charge. But where can we find such a person? I don't even know if Xian Yu's disciples are aware of it. Who exactly killed him? Judging from what happened, it seems to be related to the Zhang and Li families. However, Bei Ma Yuan has connections with them, and also has conflicts with our Cheng Yun Sect... not just limited to a few hundred households."

  He didn't hear the rest of what was said, and instead gazed at the mountain peak, lost in thought. Since there was no hope with those two girls, he could only rely on himself.

  Even if they have a seventh-grade spiritual root, without prior cultivation, it would be difficult to activate such a large-scale secret method. But if that's the case, wouldn't killing them at Chongyun Gate be more convenient and enjoyable?

  The problem is that there are no signs of the existence of a puppet organization in this area. Even on the most suspicious peak, there are no clues, and it seems to have been processed afterwards. However, this does not rule out the possibility of using the river flow to go ashore tens of miles away and then leave from the peak again, which should be enough to conceal any traces when leaving.

  As he thought of this, Hu Yanhai looked towards the direction of Yue's castle again. To say that, the Yue family and the Hong family were the most resentful. But thinking about the current situation of this family, it is also unlikely.

  There's also that child who is said to be incredibly talented, I've heard of him too. In fact, just two days ago, I was preparing to secretly eliminate him. Unfortunately, that Shi surname's Symbol Master is still lingering in this city, it's really annoying!

  He also came to his senses, worried about his younger brother. He didn't take drastic action at the critical moment. If not, how could a young man with such talent be left in this world?

  Yu Yue spent a full ten days before fully treating all of Lin Zhuo's injuries. With the help of medicine, all his wounds would heal within five days at most.

  But this is only superficially intact. With Lin Zhuo's current state, he can no longer rely on his own regenerative abilities to heal those internal injuries.

  The only way is to use the Three Blood Renewal Pills. They require the blood of a Qilin, the blood of a Green Dragon, and the blood of a Peacock, as well as countless auxiliary medicines, in order to truly reconnect the bones and their marrow within.

  It's not necessary to truly need the blood of these three divine beasts, all demonic beasts with divine beast bloodlines under the heavens, as long as they awaken two or three parts of their potential, can meet the requirements. Just like his Golden Phoenix Bird, it can provide the required amount of Peacock Blood.

  Although this pill has little effect on the meridians, as long as the skeletal marrow and blood are healthy, it can help Lin Zhuo recover on his own.

  As for the proposal to take him to Licheng, the geomancer was also extremely moved. Originally, he didn't know the way and that was that, but now that he had seen hope, he would not give up no matter what!

  In fact, the elders in the clan originally planned to have him wait quietly in the city of Yue for a year and four months, waiting for a certain ancestor who had been practicing 'Xian' for several hundred years to come and take him to participate in the mountain-opening grand election of the floating mountain sect.

  It turns out that this is his first time confirming the existence of this world, and there are actually cultivators. It's also the first time he knows that there are seniors in the clan who worship under the gate of a cultivation sect. Although long before this, he had already vaguely suspected it. However, when Yue Yu learned about this fact from those seniors, his mouth was still filled with bitterness. He thought to himself, "So after struggling for so long, I just thought I could control my own destiny, but I'm still at the very bottom of the power hierarchy in this world?"

  However, it was precisely because of this that he became more determined to follow Xi Fu Shi to Li City. A year and four months would not be spent waiting at home in vain. Apart from Lin Zhuo's injury, the world of scattered cultivators mentioned by Xi Fu Shi also piqued his interest a little.

  Shaking his head, Yue Yu returned to his bedroom and took out the silver hairpin that Xi Ruo Jing had given him. Previously, he had been taking care of Lin Zhuo day and night, and had even performed two surgeries in a row, so he hadn't had time to deal with this. It wasn't until today that he finally had some free time to study it carefully.

  When he finished deciphering the silver hairpin covered with mysterious talismans, Yue Yu was shocked again. Inside the handle of the hairpin, there were several small soul stones. With this as the core, the dozen or so talismans on the silver hairpin finally combined into a soul-controlling array similar to a mechanical puppet, but its scale was dozens of times smaller than that of the symbol array.

  What astonished him was that the intricate and complex talismanic script, which had previously been unimaginable, was actually engraved on a small silver hairpin weighing less than three taels!

  This is indeed due to the special material of this silver hairpin. After combining several metals, whether it's strength or affinity with the spirits of heaven and earth, it far surpasses those metals seen before in Guangdong, even the five-stage beast bones are far inferior. However, the technique of the person who engraved the human talisman is also worthy of being called a ghostly masterpiece. Inside this small silver hairpin, there is no sign of spiritual power conflict at all. Although it's still impossible to maximize the material like this, and ordinary people without analytical ability can't understand it, it's already extremely rare.

  NextYue Yu continued to imitate the method of using the Soul Control Array, inputting his own soul power into the soul stone. As expected, he only felt that his spiritual awareness and perception had greatly increased. The former could already reach a radius of hundreds of feet, while in terms of spiritual perception, the enhancement was even more pronounced, allowing him to faintly sense things tens of miles away. His feeling for the spiritual energy around him also became much sharper and clearer, far surpassing what it was before by several times!

  It wasn't until much later that Yue Yu slowly picked up the silver hairpin again.

  According to that immortal cultivator, this kind of object is collectively referred to as a "dharma instrument". In the realm of cultivating immortality, it should be considered one of the lowest forms of existence.

  The five types of magical instruments are divided into nine grades. And this thing called the Soul-Calling Hairpin is only a lower-grade, fourth-class magical instrument!

  The One Hundred Fifty-Second Colorful Divine Light

  "Is this the method of those array masters? It's also unknown whether this Soul-Calling Hairpin was made by the Array Master himself or came from someone else's hands. What other types of magical instruments are there, and what functions do they serve?"

  Playing with the Soul-Controlling Hairpin in his hand, Yue Yu's face was filled with unpredictable emotions. With the help of this artifact, not only did his spiritual awareness increase, but it also assisted him greatly when using secret techniques. At least in terms of controlling the spirits of heaven and earth, he felt more at ease. In this aspect, its effect far surpassed his analytical abilities.

  He was able to control the spirits of heaven and earth only slightly inferior to Xianyu Pingyi, relying solely on his powerful divine soul and his training before his previous life.

  With the help of this soul-locking hairpin, he can make his level in this aspect reach at least the same standard as Xian Yu Ping, and even surpass him.

  That is to say, this small silver hairpin was enough to increase his combat power by a whole level!

  In an instant, Yue Yu even had the urge to go to the guest room and ask Xi Ruo Jing a few more questions. However, after thinking about it, he temporarily gave up on this idea. Instead, he called Chu San into his own room, made him sleep with medicine, and then carefully painted over a dozen talismans on his forehead and his own head using cinnabar and peach wood.

  This is one of the secret methods of taming beasts learned from Tu Chengxuan, using the power of divine consciousness to create a more realistic dream realm, stimulating the potential of the demon beast and awakening the innate divine powers hidden deep within its blood and soul. As for the symbols painted earlier, they are precisely capable of conserving and amplifying the power of the soul. Since it is based on soul power with the assistance of heavenly spirits, only a small amount of spiritual energy is required, so even if it were to be temporarily drawn on the skin, there would be no hindrance.

  This technique has been used by Yue Yu for several days now, and the effect is still quite remarkable. So far, Jin Huang Que has awakened several divine abilities. However, it's unknown whether this is due to his master's influence, but most of them are wood spirits, with some wind and thunder systems as well. The other few systems have not been awakened no matter how he trains, and there aren't any powerful secret methods among them either. It really doesn't match up to the name of a lower-tier divine beast.

  What's even more bizarre is that when using this method, the soul power is extremely high. Even if it weren't for the connection between his and Chu San's souls, they would have already reached a state of mental telepathy. In that case, no matter how strong his soul power was, even if it were tens or hundreds of times stronger, he still might not be able to meet the conditions for using it.

  Such harsh requirements, I don't know how that Zhuo Chengxuan did it. Or maybe he just didn't use it at all.

  Just like usual, when Yue Yu just started to establish the connection between his soul and Chu San's. He only felt that his heart was suddenly pulled hard by someone. Then, under the effect of those talismans, his consciousness was forcibly dragged into Chu San's soul space. And immediately afterwards, countless memories and scenes belonging to Chu San flowed rapidly before his eyes.

  Such a scene, Yue Yu had experienced more than ten times, so he was completely unresponsive. This world belonging to the third year of high school is extremely simple, except for himself and the figures of Ruan Li and Lin Zhuo, other deeper memories are rare. However, even so, when he first came in, he almost got lost in it.

  Due to being familiar with the road, it didn't take long for him to find the location of the main consciousness of the third grade. This little guy was having a beautiful dream, eating the kind of pill that would increase his strength from Yue Yu's hand, and scenes of playing together in everyday life were replayed over and over again without getting tired of them.

  Yue Yu smiled warmly, then began to use his own soul power to try and change the dream that belonged to Chu San. He didn't know if it was because of the Soul-Controlling Hairpin, but he felt that this time's manipulation was more effortless.

  Just as the third was flying freely in the sky, dozens of gray-brown giant hawks suddenly appeared near the Golden Phoenix Sparrow and dived towards it. However, the third saw the situation but was not afraid, instead, he let out a battle cry and suddenly enveloped himself with wind spirit, rushing into those giant hawks, then grabbed and pecked at them, manipulating the wind blades to shoot randomly, and in an instant, several giant hawks fell to the ground one after another.

  Yue Yu couldn't help but smile wryly at this. The so-called "Yu Shou Meng Ling Shu" was indeed a good technique, but it had one major flaw: the things that appeared in the initial three dreams had to be things that it had seen before. For example, this spirit beast called Lie Feng Jiao was the only thing that Yue Yu had seen in his initial three dreams, and it was also the only creature that had awakened its innate divine ability "Arrow Blade Technique" at the fourth stage. The so-called Arrow Blade Technique was actually not much different from Wind Blade, it was just a variant of placing wind blades around one's body. On the one hand, because the wind blade cut through the air, it could accelerate; on the other hand, when attacking, adding Lie Feng Jiao's impact made its power even stronger, as if it were an arrow.

  However, these demon beasts that he had spent a great deal of effort to find in the vast ocean of memories from his third year, could only cause some trouble for the first years by relying on their numerical advantage at the beginning. Once the Five-colored Golden Peacock awakened those few wind-type divine abilities, these Split Wind Hawks would only be left with the fate of being slaughtered one by one.

  As he watched his own spiritual power weaken, the number of rift wind hawks was decreasing one by one. Yue Yu couldn't help but slightly shake her head. It seemed that this initial three-day training had already come to an end. Only after waiting for a while longer, when this little guy encountered even more powerful demonic beasts, would there be any possibility of further progress.

  However, at this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and his own shadow appeared in a dazed state on the ground below this dream. Then he manipulated those more than ten rift wind falcons to pounce on him.

  At this time, Chūsan, who had been watching the scene unfold, suddenly lost his composure and rushed to the side of that figure, shouting loudly. Hō was circling nearby, fending off the attacks of the Kaze no Taka with a wave of his hand. At first, he could still repel them at a speed several times faster than theirs, but as Chūsan's injuries gradually increased, it became increasingly difficult for him to fend off their attacks.

  Just as one of the Gale Hawks was about to dive down beside "Yue Yu", Chu San, with a protective heart, suddenly let out another angry cry. The tail feathers suddenly flashed with intense five-colored light, and then he chose to forcibly withstand an arrowhead technique, rushing over to peck open the head of that Gale Hawk.

  At this moment, Yue Yu was shocked in her heart and carefully looked at the tail of Chu San. Inside the five-colored light, there were vaguely countless mysterious and complex symbols that enveloped Chu San. When the Lian Feng Jiao used its body to collide with this light, it couldn't move it a single bit, and the power of the wind spirit was completely absorbed by the five-colored light, docilely participating in the circulation of the Five Elements.

  "Could it be that this is also one of the Bloodline Divine Transmissions possessed by a junior high school student?"

  Looking at the scene in front of him, Yue Yu's heart suddenly felt an incredible feeling, he was almost instinctively aware of the extraordinary nature of this light. Doesn't this mean that any kind of secret method is ineffective in front of Chu San?

  Actually, everything he sees now is just an illusion. However, this dream realm is based on his understanding of the third grade, and since he thinks that these five-colored lights can completely erase the effect of the Arrow Blade Technique, it should not be too far from reality.

  What Yue Yu felt most helpless about now was that the dissemination of knowledge and texts in this world was extremely slow. The records about the divine beast Peacock in the Yue family's book collection were also scarce. It was impossible to figure out what the five-colored light was called, whether it belonged to the Peacock, and what other effects it had besides dissolving the Secret Law Spirit.

  After a moment of contemplation, those torn winds were easily resolved like chopping vegetables. Yue Yu's soul power at this time was also extremely weak, and he withdrew from the initial three recognition realm.

  Just as Yue Yu was gradually regaining consciousness, he saw that Jin Huang Que was still sleeping with her eyes closed in his arms. Her expression was fierce, and she had not yet recovered from the battle in her previous dream. Then his gaze shifted to Chu San's tail again, and he fell into deep thought. Yue Yu wanted to take another look at the divine ability, and then test his own abilities again. However, based on past experience, even if Chu San used a secret technique in a dream, her body would often need three to five days to fully adapt before she could use it in reality. Therefore, even if he were to wake her up from her sleep now, it would be of no use.

  Now, what Yue Yu thought of was the Great Primordial True Energy within his body, which also followed the Five Elements cycle like the five-colored light at the beginning of junior high school. However, since the Pre-Heavenly stage, there has been no suitable subsequent cultivation method to practice. As a result, for more than ten days now, the internal breath cultivation could only be used to refine his true energy with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and nothing else had made any progress.

  But when he just saw that scene in his dream, a bold idea emerged in his heart.

  If it's emulating the innate talent of a junior high school student for further cultivation, but I don't know what the effect will be.

  Yuè Yǔ Xīn Zhī. This kind of divine power mostly comes from the bloodline of that peacock. Since it is derived from a divine beast, the power of this ability must be extremely strong. What he is worried about now is whether doing so will eventually lead him into a dead end and affect his future cultivation after entering the Fú Shān Zōng.

  Thinking so, Yue Yu suddenly smiled again. After all, how to choose, still have to wait for a few days, and see what kind of ability the five-color light on the third day has before making a decision.

  Moreover, whether it can be borrowed is also uncertain. Now thinking about it is still too early.
