A Mortal's Journey: Starting as the Young Master of Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 19 Conversation

Meanwhile, on the island of Jiyin, tens of thousands of miles away, lies the secluded cave dwelling of the Jiyin Ancestor, shrouded in black mist year-round.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted: "Ah! You wretched brat, your ancestor will surely tear your soul apart and refine your spirit!"

The roar was like thunder, piercing through the rock walls and spreading throughout the entire Jiyin Island, leaving the Jiyin disciples on the island bewildered, wondering who had offended their ancestor again.

In the secret chamber beneath the island of Extreme Yin, the Old Demon of Extreme Yin, his eyes gleaming with malice and his face contorted in a ferocious grin, spoke in a low, menacing voice like the hiss of a venomous snake: "Good! Very good! You killed my descendants and destroyed my avatars; I, your ancestor, will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"

Just as Ji Yin was furious, a wisp of divine soul left in a Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse sent him exciting news.

"The Blood Jade Spider...it's actually the Blood Jade Spider! I never thought I'd see it again. It seems there's always a way out; I still have a chance! Hahaha!"

Ji Yin seemed to have forgotten his anger from just now, and suddenly burst into loud, wild laughter.

The entire secret chamber where Zhizhen was located trembled, and the furnishings inside collapsed.

It turned out that the message coming from this split spirit was that the early Core Formation cultivator who came to help from the Wonderful Sound Sect actually possessed the spirit beast Blood Jade Spider.

The Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse was entangled with the Blood Jade Spider for a while, but was trapped by its spider silk, allowing the Core Formation cultivator to escape.

"The day has finally come! Master, junior brother, do you see? I'm about to obtain that treasure. Then I will see a sight you've never seen before. Extreme Yin Island will grow stronger and stronger in my hands, dominating the Chaotic Star Sea! Hahahaha!"

Anger instantly transformed into ambition, and the Extreme Yin Demon began plotting a new scheme.

Upon returning to Tianxing City, Wen Tianren went directly back to his Holy Mountain Cave. Zhou Yuan made an appointment with him to come to Miaoyin Sect in half a month to offer him a generous reward and to trade a batch of spiritual herbs and materials.

Qingyu was still in seclusion, and Wen Tianren closed his cave and returned to his secret chamber to continue his cultivation.

Half a month later, Wen Tianren stepped out of his cave, took to the wind, and flew towards the Miaoyin Sect's headquarters.

Upon arriving at Miaoyin Gate, they saw Fan Jingmei and Wen Siyue slowly walking out from the entrance.

Upon seeing Wen Tianren appear, Fan Jingmei greeted him from afar with a beaming smile, saying, "Elder Xiao, you've finally arrived! Siyue and I have been waiting for you for quite some time!"

Seeing Fan Jingmei complaining to him with a smile, Wen Tianren said with a smile:

"Thank you for waiting here, Left Envoy Fan. With such a beauty like you inside, all the passing cultivators will come in. I think business at our sect is going to double today!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingmei exaggeratedly patted her ample bosom and feigned anger: "Elder Xiao, you flatter me by saying that. Originally, the sect leader wanted to personally welcome you, but since Seniors Han and Qu just visited, the sect leader received them first and instructed me to wait for Elder Xiao here."

"Oh?" Wen Tianren raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

When he returned to the Holy Mountain Cave earlier, he also explored Han Li's cave, but did not see Han Li return. He thought Han Li was going to hide for a while.

"Oh! Fellow Daoists Han and Qu have also arrived."

"Yes, it was I who invited the two seniors. On that day, Right Envoy Zhuo misunderstood the two seniors, and the sect leader specifically asked me to invite them."

"I see."

Wen Tianren nodded. "Then let's go in."

As she spoke, Fan Jingmei led Wen Tianren to an exquisite pavilion in the back hall.

Fan Jingmei casually flicked her finger in the air, and a point of white light struck the barrier, rippling outwards.

There was no sound coming from inside, but after a moment, Wen Tianren felt a divine sense fly out from inside the house, quickly circle around him and Madam Fan, and then immediately retreat back into the house.

Then a flash of white light appeared on the wooden door, and the restriction disappeared. Then Zhou Yuan's clear, cold voice rang out.

"Elder Xiao has arrived, please come in."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tianren calmly pushed open the door and slowly walked in, while Fan Jingmei did not follow him in. She glanced at the attic and then left.

The furnishings inside were very simple. Apart from a mahogany table, a few antique rattan chairs, and a censer of sandalwood incense burning by the window, there was nothing else.

Zhou Yuan looked at Wen Tianren with a smile on her face. Zi Ling was still sitting next to her, and Han Li and Qu Hun were opposite her.

"Elder Xiao, now that Fellow Daoist Han has also become a guest elder of my Miaoyin Sect, we hope that you two will lend a helping hand if the sect faces any crisis in the future."

Zhou Yuan reintroduced Han Li's new identity and added sincerely, "Of course, the Miaoyin Sect will only use the names of the two elders normally, and will not trouble the two elders or delay your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced at Wen Tianren without changing his expression.

To be honest, he didn't want to be a guest elder, especially with Wen Tianren, a cultivator he couldn't quite understand.

After hiding in the deep sea for several days, Han Li secretly returned to his cave in the Holy Mountain. Not long after, he received a message from Madam Fan.

This surprised him greatly. Given the circumstances that day, how could someone with such a yin nature have allowed them to return to Tianxing City?

However, in Tianxing City, Han Li was not afraid of any conspiracies waiting for him. He came to a teahouse and met Madam Fan again.

He later learned that so many things had happened after he left that day.

This newly appointed elder of the Miaoyin Sect, Elder Xiao, actually possesses such great supernatural powers that he was able to successively kill the clones of the Crimson Fire Old Monster and the Extreme Yin Old Demon.

However, after learning that the people from Miaoyin Sect had returned, Han Li began to think about his Heavenly Thunder Bamboo again.

Since his last battle with the Hidden Fiend Sect and the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse, Han Li has increasingly felt the disadvantages of not having a natal magic weapon, which makes him eager to obtain the Thunder Bamboo from Zhou Yuan.

During the days he hid in the deep sea, he did consider using other spirit woods to forge the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

After all, with the existence of the little green bottle, as long as he can collect spirit wood, he can cultivate it into high-quality spirit wood that is ten thousand years old.

However, he was reluctant to part with the Thunder Bamboo, one of the three great divine trees in the cultivation world, which could ward off evil and thunder demonic arts.

That's why Han Li came to Miaoyin Sect today. He had just finished his transaction with Zhou Yuan, whereupon he became an elder of Miaoyin Sect, and she handed over the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to him.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he encountered the person he least wanted to see when he came to Miaoyin Sect—Wen Tianren.

This person gave him a very dangerous feeling, making him feel like he was being seen through.

"Fellow Daoist Han has also become an elder of the sect. This is truly a fortunate event for the sect. I was worried that with only one elder left, it would not be enough to deter those villains. With Fellow Daoist Han joining, there is naturally no problem."

Given Wen Tianren's personality, he naturally wouldn't reveal his strength to everyone.

Therefore, apart from the people from the Miaoyin Sect and the Yinsha Sect, no one knew that the Crimson Fire Old Monster and the Extreme Yin Avatar had destroyed themselves.

Ji Yin himself would never say that his clone was destroyed by a Core Formation cultivator, because if he did, all the Nascent Soul stage monsters in the Chaotic Star Sea would openly or secretly mock him.

In the eyes of others, he was still the new elder of the Miaoyin Sect, an ordinary mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

"With Fellow Daoist Xiao's cultivation level, I am merely adding icing on the cake," Han Li replied.

"Elder Han and Elder Xiao are both mid-level figures within the sect," Zhou Yuan said with a light laugh.

"Elder Han's abilities are quite impressive. With Qu Hun as an external avatar, Fellow Daoist Han can handle cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of the Core Formation realm."

Han Li, standing to the side, didn't react much when Wen Tianren realized that Qu Hun was his avatar.

Even Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling could see it, so it's not surprising that Wen Tianren, who was the first to discover Wu Chou that day, could also discover it.

"These are just some crude methods, nothing compared to Fellow Daoist Xiao's supernatural powers."
