Chapter 116: Chapter 24: Tier Two Inheritance Acquired

The behavior of Ye Jingyu gave Li Jizhou a strange feeling.

He repeatedly reviewed all the information on Ye Jingyu, but found no useful data, thus unable to make a judgment for the time being.

However, judging by his escape trajectory, he seems to have temporarily given up searching for Li Jizhou,

In any case, this potential threat from Ye Jingyu should not reappear in the short term.

Feeling slightly relieved, Li Jizhou brought the Fixed Face Pill to Talisman Master Shen’s residence.

“Brother Li, your alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. Despite only two years into Foundation Establishment, you can already refine such a divine pill as the top-grade Fixed Face Pill!” Talisman Master Shen was taken aback when he saw the Fixed Face Pill presented by Li Jizhou.

The conditions he had mentioned back then, either two genuine Foundation Establishment Pills or a Fixed Face Pill, were mostly aimed at the Foundation Establishment Pill in his expectations.

Never did he expect Li Jizhou to actually refine a Fixed Face Pill!

However, just as Talisman Master Shen was emotionally agitated and full of praise, Li Jizhou felt a strange sensation, and instantly gained full control over Bai Yi, ready to activate it at any moment.

His first-layer ring characteristic allows him to sense the remaining lifespan of those nearby.

Just now, he sensed that Talisman Master Shen still had over 150 years of lifespan remaining, which matched his current age of over sixty and his early stage of Foundation Establishment life expectancy. However, it suddenly fluctuated, reaching over 190 years.

Regarding this sudden change, he couldn’t determine the cause but became highly vigilant.

“Brother Shen, you overpraise me. Refining this Fixed Face Pill cost Li a fortune in herbs and a great deal of effort. Whether I will be able to produce a second one in my lifetime is unknown.”

“No need to be humble, brother; you surely have the potential of a Tier Three Pill Master!” Talisman Master Shen looked at Li Jizhou with admiration.

“Come, come, this is the Tier Two talisman inheritance where I’ve based my livelihood, supporting my eighteen beautiful concubines, along with some insights and insights from these years. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed!

If I did not trust your character, I would never pass this on to anyone else.”

“Thank you, Brother Shen!” Li Jizhou received the jade slip, and immediately probed it with his Divine Sense.

At that moment, his heart was again slightly stirred.

This Tier Two talisman inheritance had many connections to the Tier One inheritance Xu Mei gave him back on Inverted Mountain, with similarities in magical power drawing, divine soul compatibility, and talismanic rune veins.

It can be almost confirmed that this Tier Two talisman inheritance and the Tier One inheritance he learned before are of the same lineage.

In an instant, various associations flashed through his mind.

Talisman Master Shen and Yu Ziyu must have intricate links.

He now could not even confirm if the Talisman Master Shen in front of him was the real one.

The entrance of Golden Crow Immortal City has an array that forces the removal of disguises; anyone entering the Immortal City must show their true self.

Yet, Yu Ziyu was able to live in the city publicly with Xiao Jian’s appearance and physique, so her disguise technique was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Being able to evade surveillance by the Golden Sun Sect would naturally also allow her to bypass the monitoring at the Upper City District gate.

“Brother Li, the news about the underground vault of the Inverted Mountain has spread like wildfire lately. Many people are trying their luck; are you thinking of going?” Talisman Master Shen chatted while having his young wife serve tea to Li Jizhou after receiving the Fixed Face Pill.

“Brother Shen, you jest. With my shallow cultivation and weak magical power, how could I have the capability to contend for opportunities?” Li Jizhou responded with a shake of his head.

A year ago, the outer layer of the Inverted Mountain vault was breached, and the three sects acquired a large amount of Tier One resources, subsequently summoning disciples to excavate further.

However, half a year later, they suddenly had a change of heart and publicized the news about the underground vault, stating that the Thunder Flame Sect’s underground vault is the shared wealth of the Qi Kingdom’s cultivation world, available to all.

Subsequently, a large number of Loose Cultivators flocked into the Inverted Mountain, delving into the underground vault.

Anyone with keen eyes understood that the three sects suffered heavy casualties and couldn’t breach the deeper parts of the vault, hence allowing Loose Cultivators to sacrifice their lives.

Some even speculated that the lower restrictions could only be unlocked with a massive blood sacrifice array.

But, despite knowing it was a trap.

Many Loose Cultivators still rushed in continuously in an endless stream.

For no reason, everyone thought they would be the lucky one, the chosen child of destiny, and regardless of how many others died, perhaps the next opportunity would be theirs.

It was cruel but realistic.

Yet it was also a byproduct of the current cultivation world’s environment.

With resources highly concentrated, Loose Cultivators at the bottom find it incredibly difficult, and must fight to rise to the next level.

The immortal path favors those who fight!

“Haha, with such alchemical skills, there’s no need for brother to fight.” Talisman Master Shen chuckled.

Then he asked, “Brother, do you have any understanding of the Thunder Flame Sect from back then?”

“Thunder Flame Sect? Most of what I know is hearsay, aligned with worldly rumors.” Li Jizhou finally realized why Talisman Master Shen suddenly brought up the Inverted Mountain; it seemed to introduce the Thunder Flame Sect, making him even more cautious.

“Haha, but brother, are you interested in knowing the truth?”

“Not interested!” Li Jizhou decisively replied.

“…” Talisman Master Shen was momentarily stunned, his next words somewhat faltering.

Li Jizhou noticed his embarrassment and continued, “Regardless of what truth there is, it has long lost its meaning under the washing of time,

now at eight hundred years, perhaps still with some influence, but, after another ten thousand years, a hundred thousand…

what remains of its meaning?

People, need to look forward.”

“…”

Hearing this, Talisman Master Shen remained silent for a long time.

Li Jizhou even sensed another change in his lifespan.

“Brother, indeed your mindset is unlike ordinary people! I am in admiration.”

“I don’t deserve it.”

To avoid being drawn into unknown causes and effects by Talisman Master Shen, Li Jizhou decisively took his leave.

Moreover, he had made up his mind to sever ties with Talisman Master Shen in the future.

Then he went to the Miaodan Tower and sold the Tier Two Youthful Appearance Pills he had been refining for nearly a year, including twelve exquisite Youthful Appearance Pills, several top-grade and middle-grade pills.

In addition, there were the primary pills previously refined by Bai Yi and Black Xuan, though the prices were low and profits thin, yet with a large quantity, helping him replenish his Spirit Stones in the storage bag a bit,

but before they could even warm his pocket, they were once more spent on purchasing sufficient primary medicinal materials for Bai Yi and Black Xuan for five years of refinement, and additionally, he bought a batch of Tier Two talisman materials at a high price, spending almost half again.

Regarding the supplementary materials for the Lifespan Extension Pill, he could only ask Steward Chen to help collect them and notify him when they were ready.

Escorted by the Law Enforcement Hall of Golden Sun Sect, he safely returned to Xiaogang Peak.

Upon returning to Xiaogang Peak, he took out a token from his bosom.

It was handed over to him by Jin Mei just as he went to the Upper City District.

Sent from the Yang family by Qingshui River a month ago.

Upon opening the token, the neat and clean beautiful handwriting was a stark contrast to Wu Daniu’s messy notes.

At a glance, the meaning in the letter was clear to him.

Yang Yuyan’s words in the letter were rather cautious, fearing to disrupt their relationship and have Li Jizhou sever ties from then on,

However, Li Jizhou simply smiled indifferently and dismissed it.

The letter mentioned that half a year ago, Yang Yutong was sent back by the Divine Intent Sect, claiming to have been forced by that beast Ye Jingyu to practice heretical Demon Skills, resulting in a cultivation deviation and the collapse of her sea of consciousness.

By the time she reached the Yang family, she was already in a stupor.

After six months of seeking medical treatment, no relief was found. Yang Yuyan wanted to try refining a pill to repair the sea of consciousness but was struggling without a formula, thus reaching out to Li Jizhou for one.

“Sea of consciousness collapse!”

Tossing the token aside, an image of that young girl who loved gourmet floated in Li Jizhou’s mind.

Ultimately, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Unsurprisingly, it must have been caused by Soul Searching.

In such cases, had there been a cure, a major sect like the Divine Intent Sect, proficient in divine soul focused secret arts, would have intervened.

If even they are at a loss, it is basically conclusive.

Moreover, Li Jizhou also didn’t possess a formula to repair the sea of consciousness.

After sending a reply, Li Jizhou cleared his thoughts and began his calm and stable cultivation.

Now with Tier Two talisman inheritance at hand and puppet inheritance extending up to Tier Three, it was enough to strengthen his capabilities.
