Chapter 42 Disaster Approaching
After the last words, comes the legacy.
Ji Yun glanced through it and confirmed that the last words were true. This was indeed the inheritance of a righteous sect, containing several righteous cultivation techniques.
The cultivation technique is of a high grade, allowing cultivators to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage.
But it was of no use to Ji Yun.
The first part of the "Supreme Response Method" is enough to enable cultivators to reach the Nascent Soul stage. As for the second part, it is too profound. He only memorized it and did not know its limits.
In addition, he possesses other magical abilities.
They are all far better than these techniques.
This item is less valuable than a Foundation Establishment corpse, and even less valuable than the Sky Island mentioned in the dying words.
After a while.
Ji Yun personally went to the rubble and, after some probing, confirmed that the coffin posed no threat before entering the secret chamber.
To see the remains with one's own eyes.
He scanned it carefully with his divine sense.
This person was indeed at the Foundation Establishment stage. His corpse was withered and emaciated, his spiritual energy completely depleted. He had been dead for at least a hundred years, and he was only wearing a magic robe.
"Not even a storage bag?"
"Then you can't blame me for making the most of your resources; I have no choice but to borrow your corpse."
Ji Yun put away the coffin; to the demonic cultivator, this skeleton was the most precious thing.
If we can refine a Foundation Establishment Corpse Puppet, that will be the greatest gain of this trip.
It's just not easy.
Back then, Li Meier was at the second level of Qi Refining. She had just died and was full of spiritual energy. With a little bit of her essence blood and a secret technique, she could be successfully refined.
Foundation building is not that simple.
Moreover, this person has been dead for too long, and all his flesh and spiritual energy have been exhausted.
Even if he happened to have a large number of corpses and souls that could be used as supplementary materials, other resources were far from enough.
It's not worth it when you calculate it carefully.
It would be better to vote for Li Meier.
Therefore, there is no need to put too much effort into it.
Slightly nourish its flesh and blood, open its meridians, ensure its Qi Sea is not depleted and its spiritual foundation is not exhausted, and then you can initially refine an empty shell.
I don't expect it to make a move.
As long as a wisp of Foundation Establishment cultivator's aura is preserved, it's enough to frighten people.
……
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Zhao family suffered frequent attacks from bandits and cultivators in various places, resulting in repeated defeats and a constant stream of bad news.
It's almost certain now.
The Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator from the Zheng family must have provided assistance in secret.
However, righteous sects have always had strict and rigid rules, and without evidence, the Zhao family members at the fourth level of Qi Refining cannot make a move.
Therefore, the Zhao family could only send a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator to secretly guard resource points in various places, trying to catch up with this person.
Few people know about this.
Not many people in the Zhao family knew about it.
Ji Yun, however, knew everything, because he happened to meet this senior member of the Zhao family.
This man was over a hundred years old and looked quite ordinary, but he disguised himself and blended into the mine.
If Ji Yun hadn't possessed divine sense, he would never have imagined that this person was actually at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"There are problems within the Zhao family."
"Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this."
Ji Yun shook his head inwardly.
Since this old cultivator from the Zhao family came to the mine, there have been no more thieves attacking it, and the mine is as calm as a stagnant pool.
But I'm afraid he'll be gone soon.
Enemies will come knocking on the door right away.
Because there are very few resource points left that are relatively far from the Zhao family.
Even if we do it in order.
It will be our turn soon.
Therefore, Ji Yun seized the opportunity to secretly refine corpse puppets during each outing on duty, and kept a close eye on the movements of the old cultivator from the Zhao family.
……
Seven days later.
Ji Yun circled the mine several times but couldn't find any trace of Zhao Jia Lao Xiu.
He had a bad feeling.
Preparations were made that very night.
For the next few days, he remained vigilant at all times, even when he was out on duty, he would hide in the shadows among the rubble using a stealth technique.
Like a dead person.
He showed no sign of aggression.
That night, he was restless, with a feeling that disaster was about to befall him.
The Supreme Response Method is extremely profound and can sharpen a cultivator's spiritual senses.
Once a premonition arises in one's heart.
Misfortune will inevitably befall them.
"Thinking back to last time, the Zheng family sword cultivators wanted to capture me and Chu Qinghe alive and send us to the Hundred Nether Sect, but I killed them instead, and they haven't been home since."
"If a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator from the Zheng family comes to this mine, his primary target will probably be me and Chu Qinghe."
That's why I became wary.
"Because this calamity is related to me!"
Ji Yun calmed himself down and made a rational judgment in a very short time.
To a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, this mine was practically worthless, less important than him and Chu Qinghe.
They are both exceptionally talented, seemingly useful to the Hundred Nether Sect, and capable of killing a sword cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. They must have some secrets hidden within them.
If you put yourself in someone else's shoes.
Ji Yun will make the same choice.
Only a calamity aimed directly at him could provoke such a strong warning.
But today happened to be his day off, and he was resting in the market with Chu Qinghe.
There really was a traitor in the Zhao family.
They even know the shift schedule perfectly.
Without time to think, Ji Yun quickly went out, intending to escape the market.
But right now.
A subtle aura descended.
Ji Yun's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face. He quietly used his divine sense to perceive that the aura came from the dark night sea.
They've arrived, just as expected.
The cold and insidious aura could only belong to that fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Zheng family.
And he has already been identified.
He could feel a gaze falling from above, landing on him from afar.
This person did not make a direct move.
Perhaps they didn't want to leave any evidence, fearing that the Qingxuan Sect would settle scores afterward, or perhaps they were wary of the old cultivator from the Zhao family hiding in the shadows.
"Enemy attack!"
Southeast direction.
"Fellow Daoists, proceed immediately!"
Just then, the Zhao family cultivators received the message about the enemy attack and immediately flew out on their swords to inform the others.
Chu Qinghe and the other Zhao family cultivators quickly flew out of their respective courtyards.
They are devoid of consciousness.
Completely unaware that a high-ranking cultivator was watching them from above.
Chu Qinghe remained suspended in mid-air, looking down at Ji Yun. Though she appeared aloof and silent, she was clearly waiting for him to join her.
"This woman has extraordinary luck; every time she faces a tribulation in her life, it's with me."
"Her path to immortality is actually more comfortable than mine."
Ji Yun sighed inwardly, and could only fly up on his sword and head southeast with the others, while secretly making hand seals to contact the Soul Slave.
at the same time.
The mine is a hundred miles away.
The sword cultivator's soul slave merged into the Foundation Establishment Corpse Puppet's body, and he directly used his physical body to fly through the air, taking steps towards the mine, stepping on the night sea.
The corpse puppet was draped in a wide black robe.
The pace is heavy and slow when walking.
His body was surrounded by a righteous aura, and with each step he took, a wisp of pure and noble Foundation Establishment Daoist charm emanated from beneath his robes.
This Daoist aura was faint.
But in the lower layers of the night sea, it resembles a clear moon, shining brightly, as bright as the daytime.
……
Southeast of the mine.
A group of thieves were looting.
The Zhao family's reinforcements arrived quickly and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the bandit cultivators.
Ji Yun remained nonchalant, engaging in a fierce battle with a thief cultivator, which looked extremely dangerous.
Chu Qinghe had grown accustomed to Ji Yun's behavior over the past few days. Although she suspected that Ji Yun was deliberately hiding his abilities, she still couldn't help but lend a hand.
After all, Ji Yun had saved her life.
And the first two times could indeed have been coincidences, even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance. She couldn't just sit idly by and watch Ji Yun be in danger.
hum!
Holding a long sword, she dealt with the thief in front of her, then gracefully landed beside Ji Yun. Her slender figure stood tall and straight, and she raised her sword to stab at Ji Yun's side.
Ji Yun dodged to the side.
Chu Qinghe stepped forward.
The two worked in perfect harmony, their swords flashing, and in a short time they killed the thief.
Ji Yun remained calm, but used his divine sense to constantly monitor the movements coming from above.
That person hasn't made a move yet.
It seems they are waiting for the right opportunity.
But what exactly is he waiting for?
The next moment, two cultivators suddenly appeared in the pitch-black night sea outside the island.
They raised their hands and made a hand seal.
Two bursts of spiritual light appeared.
They headed straight for Ji Chu and the other person.
Ji Yun looked up and, judging from the imposing manner, realized that the cultivator was at the third level of Qi Refining.
"I see."
He didn't intend to take action himself, but instead sent someone at the third level of Qi Refining to capture them, while he himself hovered in mid-air, providing cover and support for the two.
In an instant, Ji Yun knew the Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator's plan.
"Qi Refining Level 3!"
"Call for help immediately!"
"Oh no! You two, leave immediately!"
The Zhao family cultivators cried out in panic.
Wu Xiuyuan and the others quickly retreated.
Chu Qinghe bit her lip slightly and subconsciously reached out, trying to pull Ji Yun away.
"That's enough."
Ji Yun sighed softly.
He was unwilling to take action himself, only wanting to scare the person away with the Foundation Establishment corpse puppet.
But there was no other way at that moment.
There was no escaping this calamity any longer.
The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Chu Qinghe's wrist as it reached for his collar, and pulled her forcefully to the side.
Chu Qinghe stumbled.
Ji Yun had already pulled him behind her.
Before she could react, a dark spiritual light appeared, transforming into a dark bronze bell that enveloped her and Ji Yun.
Wow.
The spell struck the bronze bell.
They were all blocked by the bronze bell.
It was none other than the first-grade high-quality protective jade pendant with its appearance modified.
