Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 604: Chapter 348: Discovery_2

It was only at Li Yuanba’s level of cultivation that he found the secrets of other cultivators, heard through “Telepathy,” unshaking. Had his own strength been weaker, “Telepathy” might indeed have become a tool for seizing opportunities.

When his Divine Thought swept across Ju Chang Shop, his figure paused. He heard someone’s inner voice, which contained deep resentment towards Qianye Temple.

Ju Chang Shop was a business owned by Thousand Illusion Sect, which had no conflicts with Qianye Temple. As two major sects on the Righteous Path, they were in fact allies.

Not to mention, even if there were disputes between the two great sects, it would have nothing to do with a Qi Refining cultivator.

It wasn’t that Li Yuanba was looking down upon Qi Refining cultivators, but rather that the strength of someone at the Qi Refinement Realm was simply not yet qualified to be involved in conflicts between great sects.

As Li Yuanba paid closer attention to that person, “Telepathy” lingered on him a little longer, and more of his inner thoughts transmitted from him.

Li Yuanba’s heart shuddered; he knew who this person was.

He could never have imagined that the fleeing Nascent Soul had reborn through Body Seizing and had come to his location.

Patriarch Weng Zhao, that was a Nascent Soul Ancestor; Patriarch Weng Zhao’s body was still in the machine room space of his original body.

The original Li Shiming and Patriarch Weng Zhao had sworn deadly enmity. Although from Patriarch Weng Zhao’s inner voice, there was no mention of hatred towards Li Shiming, if Patriarch Weng Zhao regained his strength, there was still a chance that the matter might be discovered.

What’s most critical was that there were quite a few of Patriarch Weng Zhao’s Fourth Grade treasures with Li Shiming’s side, and one day they would need to be used. If by then they came across Patriarch Weng Zhao, he might learn of the whole affair.

A hint of coldness appeared in Li Yuanba’s eyes, but he did not act immediately.

This was a Nascent Soul Ancestor’s reincarnation through Body Seizing. While he appeared to only be at the Qi Refinement stage, who could know whether Patriarch Weng Zhao had some means to protect himself?

He glanced at Ju Chang Shop in the distance and then turned back to return to the Guardian Mansion.

That night, Weng Yi was unaware that his identity had been discovered. His room was a three-person room, inhabited by three Qi Refining cultivators.

One couldn’t blame the conditions here for being poor; for Qi Refining cultivators working in Ju Chang Shop, the compensation was quite generous. Generally, a few years of hard work here would suffice for the cultivation resources needed at the Qi Refinement stage.

Weng Yi was also asleep. He would only start cultivating in the early hours before dawn, when everyone slept most soundly, and his cultivation of “Nanming Leaving Fire” was most suitable when first initiated at the rise of the yang energy at dawn.

In the quiet room, the two Qi Refining Cultivators simultaneously opened their eyes, devoid of any emotion, as if they were two puppets being controlled.

Hundreds of meters away from Ju Chang Shop, floating in mid-air, Li Yuanba’s eyes were tightly closed. This was his first time using “Telepathy” to control a cultivator.

However, because the controlled cultivators were very weak, only at the Qi Refinement stage, he did not feel any resistance from the two Qi Refining Cultivators.

Weng Yi’s sleep may have seemed ordinary, but in reality, it was a method of cultivating the spirit, using sleep to continuously enhance his spirit.

Such Secret Techniques were top-notch in the Cultivation World and should definitely not be found in the hands of a Qi Refining Cultivator.

Because his body needed to re-cultivate “Nanming Leaving Fire,” he was not in a hurry to enhance his body’s realm. Gaining advancement in realm was incredibly simple for him.

At the very least, before advancing to the Golden Core Stage, he would encounter no bottlenecks, and similarly, he didn’t need any resources to break through such bottlenecks.

Of course, if he had cultivation resources, he could recover his strength even earlier.

What he needed to do now was to lay a solid foundation, significantly enhancing both the spirit and physique of this body.

This was his last body, and even if he managed to cultivate back to the Nascent Soul Stage, he could no longer use the Nascent Soul to Body Seize. Therefore, the foundation of this body was of utmost importance to his future.

Suddenly, Weng Yi felt a sense of danger. This kind of sensation originated from the instinct of high-level cultivators. Although greatly weakened after Body Seizing, it still granted him a level of vigilance far surpassing others of the same rank.

He opened his eyes and saw two fellow Qi Refining cultivators, each holding a Low Grade Magical Artifact, and one of them was only a punch away from him.

He didn’t have time to ponder why the two fellow Qi Refining cultivators wanted to attack him. Such things were all too common in the Cultivation World: a look, a slight resource, or perhaps it was the Spirit Stones he offered for this position, among others.

After all, the energy fluctuations produced by the attack of Qi Refining cultivators were extremely weak, and coupled with the protections of the Formation at Ju Chang Shop, the fluctuations couldn’t be detected outside by the grand formation of Jieshan Town.

As long as the two Qi Refining cultivators acted quickly enough, killing him and disposing of his body afterward, Ju Chang Shop would at most ask a few questions and wouldn’t make a big deal out of it for the sake of a minor Qi Refining cultivator like him.

Weng Yi spat out a tuft of red flame from his mouth, which moved at an extremely high speed, striking the nearest Qi Refining cultivator.

The body of the Qi Refining cultivator, along with the Low Grade Magical Artifact in his hand, turned into flying ash the moment it was hit by the red flame.

The other Qi Refining cultivator showed no sign of being affected by his companion’s death. Controlled by “Telepathy”, he fearlessly lunged at Weng Yi.

After spitting out a breath of flame, Weng Yi’s face turned somewhat pale.

Because the attack of the Qi Refining cultivators was so sudden, he had no choice but to use a life-saving measure.

The red flame he had just expelled was a tuft of “Nanming Leaving Fire” retained when his Nascent Soul merged into this body. Using such a method to attack a Qi Refining cultivator was definitely overkill, but who could have anticipated the urgency of the moment?

Weng Yi flipped over to dodge the Qi Refining cultivator’s attack and suddenly had a red longsword in his hand.

When he held the red longsword, the skin of his entire arm burst, and blood splattered everywhere.

This was a Fourth Grade Long Sword, his life-bound Magic Artifact. However, even a life-bound Fourth Grade Long Sword was too much for a Qi Refinement Realm body to handle.

With a single sweep of the Fourth Grade Red Longsword, the Qi Refining cultivator, along with the Low Grade Magical Artifact, were cut in half, and before their bodies and the artifact could hit the ground, they were burned to ashes by the flames emanating from the sword.

The battle started in an instant and ended just as quickly.

Weng Yi’s complexion was pale, and he exhaled white breath, tossing the Fourth Grade Longsword aside.

Forcing the use of “Nanming Leaving Fire” and employing the Fourth Grade Longsword had completely drained his Qi Refinement realm body.

“How dare you fight within Jieshan City!” a voice boomed over the city, and then a terrifying Golden Core pressure descended.

Everyone in Jieshan City felt the might from the skies, but they were not alarmed because they knew there was only one person who could unleash such power in Jieshan City—the Guardian Golden Core, the formidable Golden Core Sword Cultivator.

It was said that this Golden Core Sword Cultivator alone had kept several Golden Core Elders of the Righteous Path at bay. The Guardian Golden Core of Jieshan City was extremely powerful, and recently, there had been few who dared cause trouble within the city.

Weng Yi looked extremely troubled, having chosen Jieshan City for its safety.

But he hadn’t been there long nor had a chance to truly start his cultivation when trouble found him.

Until now, he hadn’t realized that the two Qi Refining cultivators were being manipulated by someone else. “Telepathy” was one of the most peculiar Divine Skills, and he wouldn’t have suspected that someone adept in “Telepathy” existed within Jieshan City.

Weng Yi hurriedly reached for the Fourth Grade Longsword. No matter what, he had to pick it up first, or else if discovered by the Golden Core outside, he wouldn’t be able to keep the sword.

Just as his hand was about to touch the Fourth Grade Longsword, a horrifying Sword Intent broke through Ju Chang Shop’s grand formation, landing on him and restricting him from making any slight movement.

Li Yuanba landed inside Ju Chang Shop with a domineering posture, breaking through the roof.

His gaze fell on the Fourth Grade Longsword, and with a wave of his hand, he took the sword into his Space Ring.

Weng Yi wanted to say something, but wisely, he didn’t utter a word. With his status and power, anything he said would be futile.
