From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Before they could refute him, Shi Jian continued, "Master, this is not just me making things up."

one.

To cast the spell of the soul, one must prepare a wandering soul talisman, a protective candle, and a soul-preserving incense. However, these three people had neither a wandering soul talisman nor a protective candle or soul-preserving incense. They only had an incense burner with two ordinary candles and three ordinary incense sticks stuck in it.

Secondly.

Junior Brother One-Eyebrow runs a mortuary and often comes into contact with corpses...

Four-Eyes Junior Brother makes a living by transporting corpses, wandering on the edge of Yemao Mountain. Not to mention that he brought dozens of corpses with him this time, which are currently placed in the mortuary at the foot of the mountain!

It's not impossible that their disciples, influenced by what they see and hear, secretly learned some of the unorthodox martial arts of the Wild Mao Mountain!

Not to mention, those three were restless and, instead of resting in the middle of the night, they came to wait outside my courtyard...

Or perhaps my son got up to use the bathroom at night, heard a noise outside, went out to check, and was knocked unconscious!

"hehe!"

Qiu Sheng was so angry he laughed, losing his composure, and cursed at Shi Jian, "Shi Jian! You dare to call yourself a Maoshan disciple? You can't distinguish right from wrong, and you blindly protect your own. You're truly despicable!"

"That's right! You're not worthy to be our senior master!"

Jiale was also furious.

This was exactly what Shi Jian wanted to hear. He said to the Maoshan sect leader, whose brows were slightly furrowed, "Master, you know me. I am the strictest person and the most disciplined!"

Just now.

A golden light descended from the sky, transforming into Zhang Zhiwei's figure. He bowed to the head of Maoshan Sect, then took out the golden light ball and said, "This is the vengeful spirit of Shi Shaojian. I saw him about to do something wicked, so I took action to capture him, thus preventing Jiang Liu and his group from being disturbed."

"Zhang Zhiwei, you..."

"shut up!"

Shi Jian was about to say something when he was interrupted by the head of Maoshan Sect, who scolded him, "Do you really think I'm senile? Save your son and send him down the mountain!"

From this day forward, he is no longer a disciple of my Maoshan lineage.

"Master!"

In that instant, Shi Jian panicked and was about to speak, but facing his master's sharp eyes, he dared not spread any more rumors. He could only take the golden ball of light that Zhang Zhiwei handed over, lift up Shi Shaojian's body, and quickly walk towards the bedroom to perform the "resurrection" procedure.

"Ugh--"

Looking at the closed door, the head of Maoshan sighed and said to Qiusheng, Wencai, and Jiale, "Thank you for stopping Shi Shaojian. Go back to sleep and don't wander around tonight."

Then he thanked Zhang Zhiwei, saying, "Nephew Zhiwei, it is all thanks to your intervention that Shi Shaojian's life was saved. Otherwise, Shi Jian would have gone mad."

As Shi Jian's master, he knew him best. Although he was indeed a bit domineering, he had never committed any crimes.

If something happens to his son, who knows what crazy things he might do... This is one of the reasons why I haven't passed the position of sect leader to Shi Jian yet.

Shi Jian's son, however, was a complete scoundrel, actually practicing the unorthodox methods of the Wild Mao Mountain sect...

In the past, out of respect for Shi Jian, he turned a blind eye and didn't say anything, but he never expected that Shi Shaojian would dare to do such a thing! And in Longhu Mountain no less!

Damn it!

If things really escalate, it's one thing for Shi Shaojian to bring about his own destruction, but the reputation of Maoshan might be ruined! It might even implicate other Zhengyi sects!

From the fact that Shi Shaojian dared to have his soul leave his body on Longhu Mountain to raid a foreign girl at night, the head of Maoshan Sect could tell that Shi Shaojian must have done this kind of thing countless times in the past.

If it were only a first offense, no matter how angry the Maoshan sect leader was, he wouldn't expel Shi Shaojian from Maoshan. At most, he would find an opportunity later to personally take Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian to apologize to Jiang Liu.

But he couldn't lie to himself about this.

If Shi Shaojian were left behind, the future of Maoshan might be uncertain... no, it should be said that Maoshan might have no future at all!

# Chapter 1089 Corpse Fiend Soul Refining, Seven Fiends Gathering Body

"Then I shall take my leave."

After chatting with the head of Maoshan Sect for a while, Zhang Zhiwei left.

"Walk slowly."

The head of Maoshan Sect said a few words and returned to his courtyard.

at this time.

Shi Jian had already completed the spell, stuffing Shi Shaojian's yin soul back into his body. However, because he suffered a backlash during the "soul travels through heaven and earth" process, his soul was damaged and it would take at least four or five years to recover. Even if he recovered, he would become dull and stupid.

After learning about Shi Shaojian's situation, the head of Maoshan picked up the incense burner that had fallen in the courtyard. He confirmed that it contained ordinary candles and incense sticks, and based on the dents and burn marks on the burner, he roughly guessed what had happened.

Zhang Zhiwei had indeed instructed his disciples with one eyebrow and four eyes not to cause trouble, but the three of them were clumsy and caused the incense burner to overturn and the wandering soul talisman to burn. To make up for it, they simply used ordinary candles and incense instead...

This gave Shi Jian a pretext to launch an attack!

As for Zhang Zhiwei...

He also knew that Shi Jian was narrow-minded and must still hold a grudge against Zhang Zhiwei for slapping him when they went up the mountain during the day.

"Master, Shaojian's soul is damaged."

Shi Jian gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of Zhang Zhiwei..."

"shut up!"

The head of Maoshan Sect rebuked, "Don't you think things have gotten bigger enough?"

Although Zhang Zhiwei joined the Gongpai sect and can no longer be considered a Taoist priest, he is still considering your feelings and the future of Maoshan!

Have you considered how the other sects of Zheng Yi will view us if this matter blows up?

At this point, the Maoshan sect leader added, "Also, have you thought about what would have happened to your son if Zhang Zhiwei hadn't stopped him?"

That flowing river forged a man of literary courage, one that even ghosts and gods could not defy!

Even a spirit that has cultivated for a thousand years would have its soul scattered if it dared to get close to him!

"The fact that your son's spirit was able to enter that courtyard must be because Jiang Liu deliberately restrained his imperial authority, giving you and your son an opportunity, and also to avoid embarrassing us!"

Shi Jian was speechless, at a loss for what to do.

"Ugh--"

Seeing this, the head of Maoshan Sect said no more, but sighed and walked out of the courtyard. He finally comforted the others, saying, "We are not heretics."

So what if we're wrong?

It will be fine once it's changed.

Learn from your mistakes. I hope you won't cause trouble for Wencai, Qiusheng, or Jiale, otherwise—

Our master-disciple relationship is over.

These remarks can be described as heartless.

But in the end, it is nothing more than the master's most heartfelt admonition to his disciple.

As for Shi Shaojian, whose soul was damaged...

He brought it on himself.

It's not like he's dead.

It will recover in a few years.

Moreover, given his unruly nature and the fact that he uses all his intelligence on crooked and evil practices, he doesn't look like a true practitioner at all.

Rather than recovering and then harming others, it's better to remain stupid and dull, so that they won't have to go to the Qingmaoshan Sect to clean house afterward.

"Master, how could you be so heartless..."

However, Shi Jian was completely focused on Shi Shaojian and could not pay attention to the earnest words of the Maoshan Sect Leader. He only heard the "threat" in the last sentence, "Our master-disciple relationship is over."

Right now.

If he wants to avenge Shi Shaojian, he should also expel him from the sect!

The son's misfortune...

Master's reprimand...

This made Shi Jian unable to think calmly anymore. After returning to his room, he carried the pale-faced Shi Shaojian and hurriedly went down the mountain. However, instead of finding a family to settle him in, he went to the mortuary where the Four-Eyed Taoist kept dozens of walking corpses dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes.

Shi Shaojian was placed in an empty coffin. He took out a bell, made a hand seal and incantation, and a ball of black energy emerged from his fingertip, splitting into two streams.

A stream entered Shi Shaojian's nose.

One stream split into dozens, each entering the mouths of the dozens of walking corpses. When they emerged, each stream of black energy was followed by a cluster of eerie green flames, some as large as peanuts and others as small as sesame seeds.

It is a resentful fire formed by the fusion of the primordial energy remaining in the body of a deceased person and their resentment.

Under Shi Jian's control, dozens of vengeful flames converged, forming a ball of flame resembling a skull, which he then pressed into Shi Shaojian's head with a palm.

A short while later, Shi Shaojian slowly woke up, his eyes emitting a faint green light. He called out "Father" and looked more lively than usual.

"The effects of this Corpse Fiend Soul Refining technique are truly wondrous!"

Seeing his son wake up looking radiant, Shi Jian nodded in satisfaction, but he had to admit that the method from Ye Maoshan was indeed quick and effective.

This Corpse Fiend Soul Refining technique refines the innate Qi and resentment of a corpse, turning it into resentful fire, which is then integrated into the soul. This can replenish the missing soul power in a short time, and the more resentful fire absorbed, the stronger the soul becomes.

If one can combine this with the "Seven Killings Gathering Body" method and find seven boys born in yin years, yin months, and yin hours, one can cultivate the "Seven Killings Yin Souls," which is not only powerful but also surpasses the power to reach the heavens!

"Father, are you going to teach me the Corpse Fiend Soul Refining Technique and the Seven Fiends Body Gathering Technique?" Shi Shaojian was extremely excited.

Since Shi Jian obtained these two techniques after destroying a wild Maoshan sect, Shi Shaojian has coveted them in order to quickly increase his strength.

After all, painstakingly honing one's life cultivation is too tedious.

Shi Jian had his own plans at the time. He wanted to train his son to be the next leader of Maoshan after he succeeded as the leader of Maoshan. It was fine for him to learn the Bewitching Talisman and the Wandering Soul Talisman, which were created by the wild Maoshan sect. It was not a big problem. He could say that he was preparing to deal with the wild Maoshan sect and the Quanxing demons in the future.

But now the plan has come to nothing.

Shi Shaojian was expelled from the sect by the sect leader and was no longer a disciple of Maoshan...

Rather than drifting through life like an ordinary person, it's better to truly become a hermit.

In this way...

He, as the father, is in the open, while Shi Shaojian, as the son, is in the dark—this perfectly aligns with the principles of Yin and Yang!
