Chapter 599: Chapter 302: Direct Descendants (Part 3)
"I utilize the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, combined with a Secret Technique from Evergreen Peak within the Dao Sect, to concentrate the lifeforce of different corpses into one. Once my vitality is exhausted, I can absorb it to extend my life."
"Recently, I heard Yi Wei say that in the Exotic Realm, there is a method to cultivate Spirit Medicine using corpses, so I brought out a few for him to try..."
At this point, an uneasy expression appeared on his face: "But... did something go wrong?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "No problem, of course, no problem..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand suddenly raised and pressed directly on Li An’s forehead. Li An’s face changed dramatically, instinctively wanting to resist, but the middle-aged man coldly said, "If you dare to move, I’ll kill you on the spot!"
Li An froze.
He felt a stabbing pain within his Spirit Platform, his Primordial Spirit’s memories were being searched by this middle-aged man!
Soul Searching.
In the eyes of the Yi Clan, Li An was essentially insignificant, and they had no desire to discern whether what he said was true or false, directly performing Soul Searching was the most reliable method, revealing everything.
This middle-aged man searched slightly, showing a look of surprise on his face because what Li An said was actually true. These corpses were indeed raised by Li An himself, but there was a hidden part. In the memories he saw, Li An’s essential intent in crafting these corpses was to make puppets for future possession and parasitism.
After understanding this, he released his hand.
Although the method of Soul Searching is straightforward and direct, it also has many limitations. After all, the Primordial Spirit contains a wealth of emotions, memories, and intentions, and prolonged immersion in another’s Primordial Spirit is likely to influence one’s mind and give birth to inner demons.
For orthodox Cultivators, it can lead to madness, and for Abnormal Cultivators, it can invite the indescribable.
Moreover, the Soul Searching method is not infallible; typically, only a higher realm soul searches a lower realm one because if the realms are equal, or if the searched party’s realm is higher, they can in turn destroy the invader’s Primordial Spirit at the Spirit Platform. Also, one could easily fabricate some scenes to deceive the soul searcher.
This middle-aged man’s cultivation was only at the Late-Stage Mahayana, his Primordial Spirit was not stronger than Li An’s.
Even if Li An didn’t use the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill, Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, in fact, he couldn’t genuinely search Li An’s Primordial Spirit!
But Li An was cautious, first disguising his realm well, and secondly meticulously concealing his Primordial Spirit, so naturally, he easily deceived him.
"Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, this skill can actually concentrate lifeforce, hmm, this method could be somewhat useful for nurturing Spirit Herbs..."
The middle-aged man nodded, then asked Yi Xuan, "Why was this man imprisoned here again?"
Yi Xuan immediately whispered a few words, telling him about the matter with the Shangguan sisters. The middle-aged man thought for a moment and did not say much, just waved his hand, "Understood."
He originally thought that this Li An could be a useful person to cultivate Spirit Medicine, but since it involves Lady Yi’s matter, it’s better not to act.
Moreover, he could just obtain the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill from Li An, he didn’t necessarily have to use Li An himself.
"I thought you genuinely mastered some secret method for nurturing Spirit Herbs, turns out you borrowed the strength of others, quite a bold servant!"
A young man behind the middle-aged man looked coldly at Yi Jie.
Yi Jie trembled, hurriedly kowtowing for forgiveness.
"Enough, enough, without this person, we wouldn’t have discovered such a Secret Technique as the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, besides, the two Spirit Medicines he cultivated are indeed quite precious, he’s considered a meritorious person."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said to Yi Jie, "From now on, you may serve as a steward in the Immortal Medicine Hall."
Hearing this, Yi Jie was exceedingly grateful.
Yi Wei also felt his tense heart immediately relax, even feeling a bit collapsed. Although they were all Void Refining Level cultivators, revered as genuine experts in the Spirit Realm, shaken with power, they still remained at the bottom within the Immortal Realm’s hierarchy.
The Yi Clan’s mid-level, generally comprises Mahayana, Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators, to become an immortal, only then could one truly be considered ascending to a higher rank within the Yi Clan.
After all, the Other Immortal Realm, through its strange material cultivation, advances much faster than the orthodox Immortal Dao.
"Let’s go."
The group prepared to leave.
"My lords,"
At this moment, Li An quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "I acted rashly, I didn’t expect to trouble you esteemed lords to make this trip, I feel deeply ashamed. I’ve prepared a small gift for you all, a token of my regard, a token of my regard—"
He then took out several storage bags, stepped forward, and handed them to the group while saying, "Included is a corpse crafted by me, as well as the full techniques of the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, please, gracious lords, kindly accept, kindly accept!"
He even gave a share to Yi Xuan.
Initially, they were all unwilling to accept, but hearing him say so, they were somewhat interested.
"Hehe, fine, your thoughtfulness, I shall accept it."
The middle-aged man smiled gently and said, "My name is Yi Changlin. Once Yi Changfeng releases you, you are welcome to find me in the clan."
He had quite an appreciation for Li An, seeing that he prepared these things in advance.
A man of clever thought, could be of use.
Yet he spoke clearly, this must wait until Li An’s release—
Therefore, he would not actively interfere with Li An’s fate, prioritizing Yi Changfeng’s plan.
