Chapter 135 Dual Cultivation of Pill and Sword: Transformation of Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Essence Completed

The final round of the sword cultivator group featured a huge surprise, catching everyone off guard.

Nie Zhengchu, hidden among the audience, frowned slightly. Why didn't Song Le of the Xianxiao Sect kill Qiu Shan, but instead saved him?

Song Yin transmitted her voice: "Explain clearly, or I will still take your life."

She looked towards the passageway, then considered whether she should go out first.

Once his injuries had stabilized, Qiu Shan transmitted his voice: "Don't go out yet, Nie Zhengchu is still outside. Now that you know part of the story, please trust me." He slowly stood up, knowing he couldn't stay still, or the people outside would become suspicious.

Fortunately, Song Yin stepped in to help, preventing him from speaking in fits and starts, and the telepathic transmission continued.

"More than fifty years ago, our Qingxuan Sect sought help from the Upper Realm regarding the spiritual veins. In the end, we did not receive a reply, but the Upper Realm sent down a person, who was none other than Nie Zhengchu."

"At the time, the elders did not believe that anyone from the Upper Realm would come, but Nie Zhengchu talked a lot about the Upper Realm and about the ascended predecessors of our Qingxuan Sect. He also spoke eloquently about the affairs of the Qingxuan Sect. The elders, including the sect leader, had no choice but to believe that he came from the Upper Realm, and from then on, the Qingxuan Sect underwent earth-shattering changes."

“All the elders are working hard on the spiritual vein issue. My master values ​​me, so I know more about it. Nie Zhengchu’s plan to save the spiritual veins of Qingxuan Sect is to reintegrate all the spiritual veins in the cultivation world.”

Song Yin transmitted her voice: "This has nothing to do with your attacks on disciples of other sects."

Qiu Shan transmitted his voice: "No, there is a connection. Reintegrating the spiritual veins can allow Qingxuan Sect to rise to the top of the cultivation world. For the future of Qingxuan Sect, the first thing to do is to destroy the future pillars of other sects."

“6.” Song Yin couldn’t help but complain.

It all stemmed from the Qingxuan Sect's selfish motives, and then they attacked the contestants participating in the Xuantian Tournament without saying a word.

Song Yin transmitted her voice: "So when you discovered that Nie Zhengchu was not from the Upper Realm, you thought of ruining his plan and the Qingxuan Sect's plan?"

Qiu Shan transmitted his voice: "Nie Zhengchu deceived the Qingxuan Sect first, and he must have a bigger plan behind him. I can only interrupt his current arrangements for now."

Song Yin: Qiu Shan, I don't know whether to call you reckless or bold and courageous.

Song Yin set up a barrier and transmitted her voice: "I don't believe you unless you make a heavenly oath that everything you say to me is true, and if you lie, you will die and be extinct and not be reincarnated."

Qiu Shan: "..."

Qiu Shan's lips didn't move much, but his voice was very clear: "I, Qiu Shan, hereby swear an oath to Heaven that everything I just said to Song Yin is true. If I have lied, may I die and be extinct, never to be reincarnated."

Song Yin pretended to attack Qiu Shan, grabbing his wrist, but actually checked his physical condition.

Look, what did she discover? Qiu Shan also has vital energy within him.

Song Yin struck Qiu Shan with a palm strike, sending him flying and leaving him lying on the ground.

"You lost."

She had no intention of adhering to the rigid habits and rules of sword cultivators. Her opponent's injury and weakened state presented her with a perfect opportunity to win the match.

Song Yin turned and walked towards the passage.

Qiu Shan lay face up on the ground, staring at the sky in a daze.

He didn't know if his actions were right or wrong, nor did he know what consequences telling Song Yin would bring to the Qingxuan Sect. But Song Yin's ability to remain unharmed despite the influx of vital energy suggested that she might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

The spiritual energy within Qiu Shan's body was still dissipating. After a long while, he got up again and left through the passage.

Rankings don't matter anymore; right now there are only two things: the Nine Heavens Secret Realm and finding out Nie Zhengchu's true purpose.

The vital energy was injected into his body by Nie Zhengchu, which means Nie Zhengchu already harbored murderous intent towards him. Now, how should he deal with Nie Zhengchu, who was determined to kill him? And what about his master? Would he be willing to believe him and cut his losses in time?

Qiu Shan went out through the passage and returned to the stage, where he was surrounded by cheers as people shouted Song Yin's name.

"Song Lesheng, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Immortal Cloud Sect of the Eastern Continent!"

Everyone present accepted in a very short time that Song Yin and Song Le were the same person.

There's no mistake, absolutely no mistake. Not only do they look exactly alike, but the red mole between their eyebrows is also exactly the same. All signs indicate that Song Le is Song Yin!

They had no time to pay attention to Qiu Shan, who came in second place; their eyes were only on Song Yin, who came in first.

The disciples of Qingxuan Sect were the same; after a brief moment of shock, they were filled with admiration.

Cultivators are also human beings. From a certain perspective, they admire strength and worship absolute power more than ordinary people.

"How can someone sign up for two competitions in the Xuan Tian Tournament and win first place in both! Pinch me and tell me this isn't a dream!"

“Someone told me that a cultivator should focus on one path and not try to cultivate two, otherwise there will be no good outcome in the future. Now I just want to say, look at Song Yin.”

"Dual cultivation of alchemy and swordsmanship, absolutely dual cultivation of alchemy and swordsmanship! After today, there will definitely be many more people choosing to cultivate both!"

"Sisters, I'm not going to say anything more. I'm going to go back and practice my musical skills. I've been envious of those who use musical instruments in battle for a long time."

"Song music! Song sound!"

"Is your name Song Le or Song Yin?" someone shouted at Song Yin on stage.

Upon hearing this, Song Yin looked at the person who asked the question and answered generously, "It's all me, but I prefer the name Song Yin."

Before participating in the Xuan Tian Tournament, she never imagined that she could achieve first place in the sword cultivator group; it was a completely unexpected surprise.

Inspired by the atmosphere of the audience, Song Yin was also filled with emotion on stage, constantly responding to those who liked her.

Looking back, could I have imagined today more than a hundred years ago?

Song Yin, who was slower than everyone else to cultivate Qi back then, has now surpassed everyone else and is ahead of the pack.

Knowing the truth beforehand is one thing, seeing it in person is quite another. Yuwen Li was deeply shocked and asked Qi Zibo, "Who is her swordsmanship master?"

Qi Zibo deliberately coughed a few times, "She only has me as her master. In terms of swordsmanship, she has guidance from other elders in the sect, as well as training partners from her senior brothers. But most of it is due to her own efforts."

In most cases, the rebellious disciple practices swordsmanship and alchemy every day, and everyone who knows her has witnessed her ambitious behavior. Her innate talent is indeed quite good, but her hard work should not be dismissed simply because of her talent.

"This child has never caused any trouble in her cultivation. She is hardworking, ambitious, and insightful. To be honest, I am quite surprised by her achievements at her age."

Yuwen Li chuckled a few times, thinking to himself: Qiu Shan was right after all. The one among the younger generation of the Immortal Cloud Sect who should be eliminated the most is Song Yin.

However, he clearly saw Song Yin's action of saving Qiu Shan just now. This girl is good in every way, except that she is too soft-hearted.

Yuwen Li got up and went to receive treatment at Qiushan, who was injured.

Oh well, although he didn't win first place, at least he survived. Compared to Cao Yannian, he was still much luckier.

As for Song Yin, let's leave her alone for now.

Despite his injuries, Qiu Shan accepted the reward and felt a surge of resentment when he saw his master waiting for him.

"Master..."

"Second place is not bad either." Yuwen Li didn't say much in the end, but patted Qiu Shan on the shoulder to comfort him.

Qiu Shan felt his master's concern and made up his mind to transmit his voice directly: "Master, I have primordial energy in my body, which was injected by Nie Zhengchu. Also, Nie Zhengchu is not from the upper realm, so please don't believe him—" he said.

Qiu Shan's pupils dilated, and he suddenly collapsed in front of Yuwen Li.

Everything happened too suddenly.

Yuwen Li's hand was still on Qiu Shan's shoulder when suddenly his hand went empty, and his most valued disciple fell backward in front of him.

"Qiu Shan? Qiu Shan!"

Yuwen Li hurriedly checked Qiu Shan's body and found that he had already stopped breathing.

He immediately protected Qiu Shan's soul and intended to ask Nie Zhengchu for help, but then he remembered Qiu Shan's telepathic message... Yuwen Li hesitated.

He took out a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood, placed Qiu Shan's soul inside it, and then carefully put the Soul-Nourishing Wood away. This series of actions was completed in just a few seconds, and with his body covering him, it was done very discreetly.

"Qiu Shan, Qiu Shan!" Yuwen Li's thoughts were in turmoil. The examination he had just conducted revealed that Qiu Shan's body was in a state of utter devastation, as if it had been subjected to a violent storm.

Vitality, Nie Zhengchu...

"What's wrong? What happened?" The others on stage came down.

Song Yin saw Qiu Shan lying on the ground immediately.

Song Yin asked blankly, "How did he die?" She then said to Yuwen Li, "I didn't kill him. I even treated him during the competition."

"I know that Qiu Shan's death has nothing to do with you, but for other reasons." Yuwen Li thought he would speak calmly, but a few broken syllables still revealed his inner turmoil.

No one could accept the sudden death of their disciple right before their eyes.

Song Yin and Han Wuyue exchanged a glance; neither of them was aware of the current situation. However, since Qiu Shan had been taken away by Yuwen Li, they returned to their resting place.

Song Yin had no idea why Qiu Shan died or what Yuwen Li did after taking him back.

Qiu Shan died suddenly. On the way back, Song Yin and Han Wuyue discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.

Song Yin suspected it was due to the vital energy within Qiu Shan's body, but she didn't know much about vital energy and wasn't sure if Qiu Shan had lost his life because of it.

There was another round of celebrations after we got back.

There are many topics about the sword cultivator group today, with two being the most popular.

First, Song Yin of the Immortal Cloud Sect, who cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship, won first place in two groups at the Xuan Tian Tournament!

Secondly, there's the death of Qiu Shan. Qiu Shan died after receiving his award, and his mentor claimed that the person who killed him wasn't his final opponent, Song Yin. So who actually killed Qiu Shan?

Various things happened frequently at the Xuan Tian Tournament. After Song Yin won first place, her joy was short-lived, and now she has a bit of a headache.

She only wanted to cultivate quietly and eventually ascend to the upper realm, rather than get involved in all sorts of strange events.

Song Yin had no interest in the affairs of the Qingxuan Sect; when faced with problems, she simply passed them on to the elders.

Song Yin went to Qi Zibo and told him everything that Qiu Shan had told her through telepathy that day.

After finishing her story, Song Yin wanted to slip away back to the sect as soon as possible: "Master, you guys do your best with the rest. I'm going back to the sect with Shi Heming and the others first."

Feeling inexplicably burdened with a ton of tasks, Qi Zibo tried to get his apprentice to help him out, asking, "Aren't you curious about how things will develop in the Qingxuan Sect?"

"I'm not curious. Elder Su is handling the matter of Yuan Qi, so I don't need to follow everyone around. If you think we don't have enough manpower, you can ask Gu Tongguang for help. His reward is simple: you just need to keep an eye on the spacetime turbulence for him. Master, good luck!" After saying that, Song Yin slipped away.

When Song Yin made her escape, she even called a few friends. When the other contestants saw this, they all said they would go back with Song Yin and the others. As a result, all the contestants from the Immortal Cloud Sect returned to the sect ahead of schedule.

The elders searched for the person, but all they found was a letter left by the brats; the person had already been teleported away using the teleportation array.

Xia Xining asked, "Is it alright if we leave early?"

Song Yin: "If you stay, you'll be forced to do manual labor. Do you want to work, or do you want to rest?"

A fatal problem!

Shi Heming's choice has always been simple: follow Song Yin.

Xia Xining decisively changed her mind: "Then forget it, I'd rather go back to my sect."

At the rest area of ​​the Immortal Cloud Sect, a group of elders stared at each other, including Elder Su who arrived later.

Elder Su chuckled twice: "These disciples have given us a big surprise."

Elder Shi's temper flared up, "These brats!"

Qi Zibo, who has been riding high lately, tries to make himself less noticeable.

What a traitor! He actually lured away all the participating disciples without even telling us beforehand!

News of the Xuan Tian Conference spread quickly. Song Yin had just quietly returned to her sect when the entire Immortal Cloud City learned of the final results of the sword cultivator group.

The fact that Song Yin achieved first place in both alchemy and swordsmanship not only shocked and sparked heated discussions in other sects, but also greatly surprised all the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect.

In the outer sect, many people went to ask Jiang Youyi, because in everyone's eyes she and Song Yin had a close relationship.

"Jiang Youyi, do you know that Senior Song cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship? You were the one she personally invited to the sect, so you must have a very good relationship with her, right?"

Have you ever seen Senior Song use his swordsmanship? Is Senior Song easy to get along with?

The now-grown Jiang Youyi explained to her fellow disciples, "Senior Song did indeed take me into the sect, but that was a long time ago..."

Within the inner sect, many people approached the three ordinary disciples on Danque Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you must tell us a lot about Senior Sister Song. Did you know that she cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship?"

Han Changyu wiped his face: "If it weren't for the Xuan Tian Conference, we wouldn't have known that our senior sister was a dual cultivator of alchemy and swordsmanship."

Ruan Chaoxue was stunned: "Yes, when the news came that Senior Sister was the number one in the sword cultivator group, I thought it was someone joking."

Yu Lin: "Does this mean that the swordsmanship of our Danque Peak is even more powerful than that of Lingpo Peak?"

That's right, Senior Sister defeated Han Wuyue of Lingpo Peak! That's Han Wuyue!

The disciples eagerly awaited the return of the flying boat.

Little did they know that Song Yin had already returned to Danque Peak.

As soon as she removed the exquisite mask, Song Yin collapsed onto her bed. "Ah! Home is the most comfortable place!"

While others were unaware that Song Yin had returned, Lou Shuhe, who was in charge of the spiritual marrow at Danque Peak, was well aware of it.

A paper crane landed by the window.

Song Yin saw it out of the corner of her eye and used magic to make it fly down into her hand.

After reading the message on the paper crane, Song Yin had no choice but to get up and go find her grandmaster.

Lou Shuhe had finished transforming the spiritual essence, and she organized everything around her and put it into her space.

"They're here?" Lou Shuhe lowered her head and continued tidying the table. "The spiritual marrow has successfully transformed into ten-thousand-year spiritual marrow. Take it and put it away when you think it's ready."

Song Yin circled around to watch, exclaiming, "Wow! Grandmaster, you're amazing!"

Lou Shuhe: "You're so sweet-talking."

Song Yin took out the Qingyang Sword and, following the middle stroke, split the complete spiritual marrow in two.

He then divided one half into five smaller pieces, each of which was larger than the stones that could be found everywhere along the roadside.

"Here you are, Grandmaster." Song Yin picked up a piece and placed it in front of Lou Shuhe with a thud.

He put the rest away and prepared to go to Wujian Peak.

"Wait a moment." Lou Shuhe picked up a booklet she had compiled herself. "These are my improved prescriptions. Take them and use them."

Song Yin's eyes sparkled, "Thank you so much, Grandmaster!"

Hehehe! She didn't even ask for it, and her grandmaster gave it to her! She declared that she was the luckiest person today!

Lou Shuhe took a drop of blood from Song Yin's brow and fused it into the jade pendant: "I said to the outside world that my seclusion was fake, but I will really be going into seclusion soon. With my current cultivation level, each seclusion will last for a long time, and it is easy for me to go into seclusion for hundreds of years. Keep this jade pendant with you. I know you are going to the Nine Heavens Secret Realm. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, you can crush the jade pendant and my clone will appear."

The jade pendant lay quietly in Song Yin's palm. "Is this the magic spell to call your parents when you can't beat someone? I love it!"

"Pfft, you certainly know how to come up with names." Lou Shuhe asked, "Why hasn't your master returned?"

Song Yin looked up and said, "My master still has things to do." She then recounted the unpleasant events that had occurred at the Xuan Tian Assembly to her grandmaster.

To everyone's surprise, Lou Shuhe immediately cast a divination after hearing the story.

Lou Shuhe finished calculating and looked at Song Yin with a complicated expression, "You..."

Song Yin: "Hmm?"

Lou Shuhe: "You've completely disrupted Nie Zhengchu's plan."

Song Yin: "Hmm?"

Lou Shuhe: "Every cause has its effect; it's just a cycle of cause and effect. If we can overcome this hurdle, everything will go smoothly afterward; if we can't, the worst that can happen to the Xuantian Immortal Cultivation World is that it will become like other small worlds."

What do you mean by "just like other small worlds"?

Before Song Yin could ask any further questions, her grandmaster waved his hand and sent her away from the place. At the same time, the restrictions and barriers around the place changed, turning it into a secluded cultivation area where no one could disturb her.

Song Yin flew to Wujian Peak with questions in her mind, where she was seen by some disciples of Wujian Peak.

The next second, Song Yin was surrounded.

"Senior Sister Song!"

"Senior Song!"

"It really is Senior Sister Song! Why did you come back ahead of time? We didn't even receive any news of the flying boat's return."

"Senior sister, you're amazing!"

"Senior sister, could you teach us swordsmanship?"

"I'm different, senior sister, I want to fight you!"

Song Yin: "Everyone, calm down. There will be opportunities in the future. I need to go find Elder Wen now. Please make way for me."

The crowd parted, chattering amongst themselves.

"Please, senior sister!"

Congratulations to Senior Sister Song for winning first place!

"Senior Sister, the number one Nascent Soul cultivator in the Xuan Tian Realm!"

"Thank you, thank you! I don't deserve to be number one." Song Yin accepted everyone's congratulations. Wang Miao, an acquaintance, was standing under a tree in the distance, but she didn't pay him any attention.

After parting ways with the enthusiastic crowd, Song Yin flew directly to the mountaintop.

Song Yin swaggered in: "Is Master's wife here? Is Senior Brother here? I'm back!"

"Junior Sister, you're back?" Shen Yuzhu came out from the side hall and exclaimed with delight upon seeing Song Yin. "Congratulations, Junior Sister! Congratulations! Being number one in two places is truly amazing!"

"Yinyin's back? Come over here and let me see if you've lost weight." Wen Zhiling's voice rang out from inside.

Wen Zhiling was tending to her wounds, with many medicine bottles beside her. When she saw Song Yin come in, she asked her to sit down first.

Song Yin: "How did Master's wife get injured?"

Wen Zhiling: "Practicing swordsmanship in a sword formation that combines ice and fire, and being injured by the strong winds inside, is just a superficial wound and nothing serious."

It was indeed a superficial injury, and the medicines I had on hand were the most common healing medicines.

Seeing that nothing serious had happened, Song Yin felt relieved. She took out two pieces of spirit marrow that had been divided up, saying, "For Master's wife! For Senior Brother!"

Two pieces of ancient spiritual marrow were placed openly in front of them, and the room was immediately filled with rich spiritual energy.

The pill in Wen Zhiling's hand fell to the ground with a "thud," and she immediately set up a barrier. "You little brat, Yinyin, next time you take out something this important, remember to tell me in advance."

Shen Yuzhu was at a loss. "Junior sister, you!" He knew he would get a share of the spiritual marrow, but he didn't expect his share to be the same as his master's.

“I’ve divided the spiritual essence equally among everyone. Our grandmaster is currently in seclusion, so I’m delivering it to you all. Stop! No words of thanks allowed.” Song Yin interrupted their spellcasting. “Quickly put it away.”

Wen Zhiling: "Okay, we'll listen to Yinyin."

That child is really something; there's just no way to deal with her.

Shen Yuzhu was already planning what to give as a gift. That's just the kind of person he is; whatever someone gives him, he'll always think of giving something back. When he's with people he knows well, he tries his best to take care of everyone around him, because that's how he feels valued.

Song Yin beckoned to Shen Yuzhu with her finger, "Senior brother, come here."

Shen Yuzhu walked in: "What's wrong, Junior Sister?"

Song Yin: "Stretch out your hand."

Shen Yuzhu did as instructed, and a purple token appeared in his palm.

“I have two spots in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, this one is for you.” After saying that, Song Yin went to Wen Zhiling’s side and helped her treat her superficial wounds.

Shen Yuzhu was left standing there, stunned and speechless for a long time.

“Master’s wife, let me help you. I’m the best at treating injuries.”

"Okay, then Yinyin will treat me."

"I obtained the improved pill formula from my master and grandmaster. I will send it to my master's wife when I refine some new pills."

"Really? I'll have to look forward to it."

Wen Zhiling stretched out her arm for Song Yin to treat, and said to Shen Yuzhu, who was still like a sculpture, "Come back to your senses."

“Junior sister…” Shen Yuzhu turned around and looked at Song Yin.

Song Yin was treating her master's wife when she glanced at the scene.

etc!

Shen Yuzhu looked bewildered, unsure what gift to give Song Yin in return; the token was priceless to him. He pondered what he could offer Song Yin, but after a long time, he couldn't come up with anything.

If he becomes useless in front of Song Yin, will she abandon him like the Shen family did? Because he clearly remembers that before being abandoned by the Shen family, they also unconditionally gave him all sorts of good things.

Seeing this, Wen Zhiling leaned close to Song Yin's ear and whispered a long string of words.

Then Song Yin suddenly realized.

Song Yin: "By the way, senior brother, the spot isn't given to you for nothing. When we go to the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, you'll have to be my bodyguard."

The purple token in his hand felt incredibly heavy. Shen Yuzhu solemnly said, "Alright."

Song Yin stopped the treatment, and Wen Zhiling's arm had fully recovered. "Perfect! Master's wife, can I try practicing swordsmanship in the Ice and Fire Dual Heaven Formation you mentioned?"

Wen Zhiling: "Okay, but I suggest you start with the simplest sword formation. You're going to the Nine Heavens Secret Realm anyway, so it'll be good to hone your skills in a sword formation before then."

...

When Xia Xining learned that Song Yin had entered the sword formation for training as soon as she returned, she was completely stunned.

"What happened to the agreed-upon rest! Why are you training harder again?!" Xia Xining grabbed Song Yin's shoulders and shook her violently.

Song Yin: "The amount of training is about the same as usual, so it's not considered intensive training."

She took a piece from her own spiritual marrow and secretly gave it to Xia Xining.

Xia Xining's eyes widened.

Song Yin quickly covered Xia Xining's mouth, "Keep your voice down, and don't let anyone know."

Xia Xining nodded, then said with tears in her eyes, "My dear sister, I have no way to repay you but to offer myself to you!"

Song Yin pushed away Xia Xining, who was clinging to her, and said, "No need to repay me with your body. Just make me more free furnaces in the future, thank you."

Xia Xining: "Hmph! You don't want me to repay you with my body, but you want Shi Heming, right?"

Song Yin guiltily withdrew her hand, "How did you know?"

Xia Xining's lips curled into a smile: "Heh, he told me everything. Tell me quickly, what exactly do you like about him?" She couldn't help but gossip at the end.

Song Yin: "How would I know?"

Xia Xining gasped, "You didn't know?"

Song Yin changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that. Have you received an invitation from the elders of the inner and outer sect academies? Inviting us to give sermons?"

When news of Song Yin and the others' return spread, many disciples suggested to the academy elders that they invite Song Yin and the others to give a lecture, even if it's just for a day.

The elders naturally wouldn't stifle the disciples' pursuit of knowledge, so Song Yin received two invitations from both the inner and outer sect academies.

Xia Xining: "I received it, are you going?"

"To be honest, based on my previous experience, I was thinking I would never go again if a similar situation occurred, but after careful consideration, I still agreed to go, but only for one day," Song Yin said.

"What a coincidence, I also agreed to the same day!" Xia Xining covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously. "I pretended to have a back door and inquired around. Right now, the most discussed person is you, Song Yin, the number one Nascent Soul cultivator who cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship!"

"Congratulations, everyone admires you now. Even the kids in the streets of Xianxiao City are fighting over who gets to play the role of Song Yin."

Song Yin, who rarely goes out, was stunned. "Huh?"
