Chapter 20: Secret Agent
Now that his physical cultivation has reached the Yuan-building stage, Yan Mobai can breathe in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at will without being affected.
But in contrast, compared to the huge amount of spiritual energy needed for the Yuan-building Realm, the spiritual energy in this area of the outer gate mountain seems a little insufficient.
As the only body-refining cultivator in the world, his breathing method is different from those Qi-refining cultivators. When others breathe, they take away one-tenth of the energy and return the rest of the spiritual energy to the heaven and earth, just like when people breathe, they only take away a part of the oxygen and exhale the rest.
Once he started breathing in and out, the spiritual energy could only go in but not out.
In the territory of Yuheng Immortal Sect, the blessed land with the richest spiritual energy is undoubtedly the top of Yuheng Mountain. The farther away from there, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes.
The spiritual energy of the outer sect is certainly enough to supply the breathing of disciples below the Jindan realm, but for Yan Mobai, as his cultivation level increases, the spiritual energy around the entire cave will probably be consumed in less than an hour.
Cultivators usually use spirit stones and elixirs to make up for the lack of spiritual energy, but Yan Mobai doesn't have the conditions. But then again... the roasted spirit bird that Lin Luan sent over just happened to come in handy today.
He sat upright, feeling the vast spiritual energy surging in his abdomen.
Unlike the immortal essence from Li Yulo, this spiritual energy has not been transformed into essence, and therefore can be transformed and absorbed by Yan Mobai's body.
If calculated by quantity, absorbing all the spiritual energy of the spirit bird is equivalent to him breathing in and out in the cave in the outer mountain for a month.
If it were any other Qi-refining cultivator, a lot of the medicinal effects of the Spirit Bird would be wasted. Among all the cultivators in the world, only Yan Mobai could completely transform it into his own.
He calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and after a brief breathing adjustment, he mobilized the Qi and blood throughout his body and began to refine the spiritual essence absorbed from the spirit bird meat in his abdomen.
If the spiritual energy obtained from normal breathing was a trickle, the spiritual energy in the abdomen now was like a surging river, making Yan Mobai once again experience the heart-piercing pain he felt when he first breathed in and out.
Fortunately, I had tasted the poison in the afternoon. Compared with that, the current pain was nothing.
About an hour and a half later, the young man on the stone bed opened his eyes, and his robe was soaked with sweat.
After absorbing all the essence of the spirit bird, the power contained in every inch of his flesh and bones became much stronger than before. According to the estimation of his Qi Refining realm, he had already reached the middle stage of the Yuan Building Realm.
If one follows the method of Qi Refining, even if one has extraordinary talent, this process will last for more than half a year.
But as the only body-refining cultivator in Jiuzhou, Yan Mobai completed it very quickly.
As his cultivation level improved, he felt that the spiritual energy in the cave was increasingly scarce. If this trend continued, he was afraid that when he reached the later stage of Yuan Building, his cultivation speed would be forcibly slowed down.
It would be great if I could practice at the top of Yuheng Mountain...
This thought suddenly appeared in Yan Mobai's mind, and he suddenly thought that he might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to remove the poison and get some of the spiritual power of the fairy mountain.
……
On the top of Yuheng Mountain, the master's hall.
A woman with waist-length silver hair stood quietly in front of the window, a bright moon reflected in each of her scarlet eyes.
The moonlight made her skin look even whiter, her silver hair fluttered slightly in the mountain breeze, and the ends of her hair were crystal clear and shiny.
After an unknown amount of time, her gaze moved down from the bright moon to the endless undulating sea of clouds. She gradually frowned and turned her head to stare at the slightly dusty cushion in the corner of the room.
I wanted to come here to experience Mr. Bai's peaceful and calm state of mind, and at the same time, to smooth out my own troubled mood.
I didn't expect it to become more and more messy.
The white-haired young man whom Qian Qiuxue had met in the afternoon seemed to appear before her eyes again. His presence was like a crochet hook, turning her originally complete thoughts into a tangled mess. Ever since that meeting, she could no longer calm down and meditate.
"Yan Mobai..." the woman murmured softly.
Her figure disappeared in the moonlight, and when she reappeared, she had already arrived in front of the statue of the ancestor in the front hall of the main hall.
Her scarlet eyes looked towards the ground in front of the statue. The jade bricks were clean and dust-free, but in her eyes, it seemed as if something still remained there.
Some things I had instinctively ignored at the time, but now I recalled them all again, including the look the boy gave me when he sat on the jade brick, every move he made, every word he said...
All the details are clearly reproduced before my eyes.
Qian Qiuxue always remembered the boy's gaze. She had never seen it before, but it seemed so familiar.
It was as if that gaze had fallen on me countless times without me noticing.
Over the years, she has always been in Yuheng Mountain in Tiandingzhou, while the leader has always been in the headquarters of the Demon Cult in Zhongzhou.
How can he get his eyes to fall on me?
She was extremely confused, and thought about the leader's ability to dissolve the poison. Mr. Bai had clearly said that the album had been burned by him a long time ago... Could it be that the album in Mr. Bai's hand was really taken from the leader?
If that were the case, who exactly is Mr. Bai to have been able to bypass the numerous restrictions in the heart of the Demon Cult, evade countless sentry inspections, and remain safe and sound under the nose of the leader who has achieved great perfection in spiritual cultivation, and to snatch the atlas from the leader?
Who among them lied?
The more Qian Qiuxue thought about it, the more confused she became. She wished she could cut her brain open and use her hands to force her thoughts into order.
She knew that there must be some kind of relationship between the leader and Mr. Bai, but she could never see what that relationship was.
Sometimes she even wondered if they were the same person.
Humph... How ridiculous! Mr. Bai is a mortal. Even if he has many secrets, how can he be the same person as the leader? Whenever this speculation appeared, it was instantly denied by Qian Qiuxue.
But even so, there was always a tiny obsession in her heart that made her connect these two people who were completely different from each other.
Qian Qiuxue pursed her lips tightly. She didn't know how much time had passed. Then she raised her hand and sent a divine thought into the void.
After a few breaths, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of the woman's eyes.
The shadow was kneeling respectfully in front of her. It was a short man wearing a black cloak.
In the dim firelight, one could see that his forehead was densely covered with black nails under his cloak, his face was covered with traces of stitches, and his body exuded a terrifying fluctuation comparable to that of the initial stage of spiritual refining, but there was no color of reason in his eyes, as if he were a moving zombie.
Such a demonic method appeared openly in the palace of Qianqiuxue, the master of righteousness.
If anyone from the Demon Cult was present, they would certainly be shocked to recognize that this person was Ying Wuya, the Demon Cult's guardian who disappeared without a trace many years ago.
"Go and look up all the secret techniques of the Demon Cult, including the secret techniques of disguise, and record the secrets of the techniques and bring them back to me."
Qian Qiuxue ordered in a cold voice, "Regardless of any consequences, no matter what the cost, you must get those secret methods back to me!"
The black shadow bowed to her, and then his entire body melted into black water, flowing on the jade bricks, and finally turned into a shadow and merged into the darkness.
Chapter 21: Re-entering the Mountain Gate
After several days, as agreed, Li Yulo did not visit Yan Mobai's cave again.
What surprised him was that Qian Qiuxue did not come to him to help him resolve the poison.
Yan Mobai was very clear about his abilities. He had only neutralized a small portion of the poison last time. In addition, the toxicity was accumulating day by day. It would take at least four or five more times to completely neutralize the poison that had accumulated before the last full moon.
When that day comes, it will be the time for Qian Qiuxue to officially conquer the Demon Cult.
If she doesn't come to find me, does that mean she is not in a hurry to attack the Demon Cult?
Confused and trapped in this cave, Yan Mobai had no way of finding the answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
The daily food was still spiritual rice, and Lin Luan did not continue to send roasted spiritual birds.
Each of the Xiao birds can be sold at a sky-high price. For Lin Luan, who ranks third in the inner sect, it is not something he can buy casually.
Yan Mobai couldn't forget the taste of roasted sparrow, but he didn't get obsessed with it. Lingmi still ate it with relish.
As his cultivation reached the middle stage of Yuan Building, he truly experienced the feeling of not having enough spiritual energy to breathe in and out in the past few days.
After every two hours of breathing, he would need to rest for a while, waiting for the spiritual energy from outside to fill the area around the cave again, so the speed of cultivation slowed down a lot.
If I continue at this pace, it will take at least two months to reach the late stage of Yuan Building.
He had been waiting for Qian Qiuxue to come to him to help him dissolve the poison. With the rich spiritual energy on the top of Yuheng Mountain, breathing for a short while was equivalent to meditating for a whole night.
It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Qian Qiuxue finally ordered to summon Yan Mobai.
The person who came to pick him up this time was not Lin Luan.
"Master Yan!" As soon as the girl entered the cave, she couldn't wait to pounce on Yan Mobai. She buried her little head in his chest and sniffed constantly, and her ahoge scratched his chin.
When she had sniffed enough, she looked up with her big violet eyes: "Did the leader miss me?"
"Of course I did. This stone cave is a bit monotonous without you." Yan Mobai smiled. "It's so open and aboveboard. It should be the leader of Qianqiu Sect who sent you here... Is she going to summon me again?"
"Yes..." When the girl mentioned this, her excitement was instantly swept away. Her small body seemed to soften all of a sudden. She looked depressed. "The leader must come back safely."
Last time...what did Master do to the Leader in the temple?
Since she returned, this thought has been lingering in her mind, haunting her. She can't help but imagine those terrible scenes, and every scene makes it difficult for her to fall asleep.
Now the leader is about to go to the sect master's hall again, and she personally sends him there.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Yan Mobai touched the girl's head and said, "It won't take much time to just talk to your master about the past."
"Yes! I believe the leader will be fine."
The girl smiled at him, but it seemed a little forced because of the tears in her eyes.
Yan Mobai reached out and wiped away her tears, saying, "There should be people watching outside, so we shouldn't delay here for too long."
"it is good."
The girl took a few deep breaths, waited until she calmed down, tried hard to hide the expression on her face, and walked out the door with Yan Mobai.
……
She did not walk slowly like Lin Luan did last time. Instead, she created a beam of spiritual light and carried Yan Mobai to Yuheng Mountain.
After a moment, the spiritual light fell at the foot of Yuheng Mountain.
The same mountain gate still appeared before my eyes.
What surprised Li Yulo was that the front of the mountain gate was full of people again.
Most of them were from the faction of Ye Yin, the second inner sect disciple, and there were some... Li Yulo glanced at their faces roughly, and they were the ones who were most enthusiastic about talking about "eliminating demons and defending the way" on the leader at that time.
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
The girl didn't look at them kindly, her eyes widened, "Sister, I'm taking the leader to see the master, get out of the way!"
"Hey, Senior Sister, wait a minute, listen to what I have to say."
The leading black-robed man waved his hand and said, "Yesterday, Elder Lin from the sect asked me to do something. He has been curious about the sect leader's technique for a long time. Next time, if there is a chance, I will definitely take the sect leader to see him."
"The leader wants to see you, and Elder Lin also wants to see you, but there is only one leader after all..."
He spread his hands with a sincere look, "How about this, I will take the leader to find Elder Lin first, ask him about the technique, and then return the leader to you after an hour, so that you will not be hindered from completing the order of the sect master... What do you think?"
The Elder Lin he mentioned was none other than the Grand Elder Lin Jiumu, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Spirit Refining and was only one step away from Great Perfection. He was the senior figure in Yuheng Immortal Sect who had the biggest conflict with Sect Master Qianqiu.
Ever since he suffered a setback in front of the mountain gate last time, the man in black robe wanted to get back at the situation very much, so he went to ask his master Lin Jiumu for help.
Lin Jiumu has a high level of cultivation and a wide network of connections. Many elders and even the supreme elders have had friendships with him. It can be said that a single move can affect the entire body, and even the Qianqiu Sect Master is a little wary of him.
By waving this banner, we can act more boldly.
"Does Senior Sister disagree?"
Seeing that the girl remained indifferent, the man in black robes gradually became gloomy.
He didn't believe that Li Yulo really didn't want to get rid of her inner demons, but thought that she was just constrained by the rules and regulations of the sect.
It's really ridiculous. If you can't reach the Yuantai realm, what's the point of staying in the chief position? It's better to give it to someone in need.
Since the senior sister is unwilling to take action, I will force this favor on her. As long as she dares to accept it, there will be no obstacle in her competing for the position of chief in the future.
In order not to give others any handle, he was not in a position to do it himself this time, but with so many confidants he had cultivated in recent years, there would always be people willing to take the blame for him.
The man in black robe turned around and winked at a disciple in the early stage of Jindan realm behind him.
The disciple understood immediately, and without hesitation, a flash of spiritual light appeared in front of the white-haired boy in the next moment.
"Alas, Junior Brother Qi, why are you so impulsive!"
The man in black robe pretended to sigh, showing no intention of stopping it.
Junior Brother Qi was originally dull in talent and had a rather impetuous mind. It was because of his connections that he was able to join the inner sect. He had spent countless elixirs and jadeite on his cultivation over the years, and now it was time to repay him.
The girl turned around in shock when she heard the noise, only to hear the Jindan disciple shout, "Listen, devil! This whip is for the innocent souls under your command!" After saying that, he swung out a long whip.
His words were full of righteousness, and he packaged his motives as hatred and resentment towards the leader of the Demon Cult. The punishment from the sect afterwards would definitely be much lighter.
