Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Go to the Yun Family

The contents of these rooms are basically the same as those of the seven rooms in the trap, but they lack the sinister insect-attracting incense.

Although a long time has passed and the jade slips recording the magic weapons and robes in this ancient relic have decayed due to the loss of spiritual energy, fortunately, the paper books made of special materials are still well preserved.

It contains the cultivation techniques, spells, spear manuals, elixir recipes, talismans, and formations collected by Xinyi, as well as books and illustrations recording various ancient treasures, poisons, and spiritual objects, as well as her own experience in cultivation.

It was then that Yun Miao learned that Xin Yi was actually at the Mahayana stage during his lifetime. One can imagine how precious the cultivation experience of a Mahayana cultivator is. It is simply the notes of a god of learning standing at the top of the pyramid. Such knowledge is the inheritance that is most valued in the world of cultivation, a truly priceless treasure!

What surprised Yun Miao even more was yet to come. She had just casually flipped through these secret books, wanting to learn a few high-level spells that were suitable for a master in the God Transformation Stage. However, just as she was reading and unconsciously following the instructions, a system prompt box suddenly appeared in front of her.

[Player learns Ice Soul Palm]

Yun Miao was stunned and immediately opened the character panel of the white vest. She saw that in addition to the few basic spells inherited from the original body, there was indeed an ancient high-level spell that she had just been imitating, the Ice Soul Palm.

She turned her attention back to the secret book in her hand and tried to practice a few moves. Suddenly, a series of system prompt boxes flashed in front of her eyes.

[Player learns Fire Palm]

[Players learn Earthshaking Palm]

[Player learns Golden Sun Palm]

Players learn...

…

…

In just a short time, the White Vest's skill bar had added a full twenty-three new skills!

Since Yun Miao gained spiritual awareness, although her rate of absorbing spiritual energy through meditation remained pitifully low, thanks to her comprehension, she had consistently learned spells at a rapid pace, earning praise from her master and fellow practitioners several times. Even Tian Laokou acknowledged her exceptional comprehension, though her aptitude unfortunately slowed her progress.

Yun Miao had just ignored what he said before, but only now did she understand the real meaning of what Tian Laokou said, and finally realized how outrageous the so-called comprehension of 100+ was in the world of cultivation!

The various stats of the white vest were much higher than those of her true body. Although it was just her vest, she could control it more smoothly than controlling her true body. She even had a sense of relief, as if she had escaped from some heavy confinement and her soul was free, leaping into the sea.

If her original body, relying on its exceptional comprehension, could be called a one-in-a-million-mile genius, then the white vest, inheriting its comprehension and complementing all of its physical shortcomings, was a true genius among geniuses. It could learn any skill at a glance, with no barriers to entry at all!

This is what a game is. In a game, you can learn skills immediately by clicking on the skill book!

Yun Miao had previously complained about why the threshold for learning skills in "Asking the Three Thousand Questions" was designed to be so difficult. Now that she thought about it, the game being too hardcore was part of the reason, but the imbalanced values ​​of her body must also have been part of the reason. Fortunately, now she can finally enjoy the fruits of her labor.

After discovering this, during the second half of the month when his main body was in a coma, Yun Miao would log in directly under the white vest every time he went online. He would first study the magic secrets frantically in the cabin, and when he was tired, he would use magic to plant and harvest vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Since she had five spiritual roots and was not picky about spells, she learned all of them regardless of whether they were useful or not. So in just half a month, more than a hundred ancient high-level spells appeared in her skill list, and she had learned two-thirds of the various spells that Xinyi had spent tens of thousands of years collecting during her lifetime!

Part of the remaining two-thirds is because Yun Miao, who is in the Spirit Transformation Stage, is currently unable to learn it and the hardware is not up to standard; the other part is because there are various strange usage restrictions, which place very harsh demands on the caster.

In addition, Yun Miao, who has now woken up from his original body, has belatedly discovered that his original body can automatically acquire the skills learned by the vest. In other words, the more skills the vest has learned, the more skills the original body will have in its skill bar!

Although most of these high-level skill icons were grayed out due to realm and spiritual power limitations, indicating they were unusable, Yun Miao felt the satisfaction and joy of an old farmer after a hard-earned harvest just by looking at the hundreds of ancient high-level spells like "Northern Dipper Wandering Dragon Step," "Purple Sky Divine Thunder," and "Five Elements Escape Technique" that had appeared in his skill bar.

As a little girl who didn't like studying, she only just now remembered that she hadn't visited the sect's Sutra Library. She decided to find time to visit it later.

She would work hard for a hundred days and read all the books thoroughly. Even if she couldn't become the strongest cultivator in the world of cultivation now, she would become the cultivator who mastered the most spells in the world of cultivation!

By the way, because she lacks the basic knowledge of techniques such as alchemy, formation, and talisman drawing, she is unable to learn those alchemy formulas, formations, and talismans for the time being. She can find a chance to learn about them later.

But now is not the time to talk about this. Yun Miao turned her attention back to the bookshelf in front of her and put her studies on hold because she had to do something important now.

The white-robed nun's fingertips moved inch by inch across the books on the shelf, quickly finding her target: the first, second, and third volumes of the "Records of a Hundred Things." The yellow-brown pages felt strangely flexible, not like paper made of grass or wood, but more like some kind of leather.

She first flipped through all three volumes and found the middle volume that recorded hundreds of insects. Then she flipped through the pages one by one and finally found the introduction to the ancient Tianmu butterfly.

The Tianmu butterfly, a creature of divine nature, is said to have been born from nature. Others claim that its ancestors once drank the blood of the Candle Dragon, giving it two eyes that grow from its wings. When its wings flap, its eyes blink, a blink lasting a hundred years...

After reading the introduction of the Tianmu Butterfly, Yun Miao quickly understood its cruelty. This butterfly has a pair of eyes on its wings. When it flaps its wings, the eyes will blink, and the time of the creatures around it will be accelerated, and each blink will be a hundred years.

To put it simply, if it blinks, a newborn baby will immediately become a centenarian. If it blinks again, another hundred years will pass... Ordinary mortals naturally cannot live to be two hundred years old, so the old man will die immediately due to aging.

Some say it is a natural spiritual creature, but there are also rumors that the ancestors of this butterfly once drank the blood of the Candle Dragon.

However, due to its strong innate abilities, this butterfly suffers from the same problem as many other spiritual creatures: it is extremely difficult to cultivate intelligence. Therefore, although the Tianmu butterfly is extremely lethal, it is more likely to follow its instincts and lack human intelligence.

At the same time, the lifespan of the Tianmu Butterfly is also extremely short. The juvenile Tianmu Butterfly, the Tiancan, has a long lifespan. Only after coming into contact with the object of their affection will the two Tiancan take the initiative to spin silk and make cocoons, and then transform into butterflies.

But after emerging from their cocoons and becoming butterflies, they only have nine days left to live, and they will basically die together soon after their death. This is probably the so-called balance of nature.

Yun Miao subconsciously calculated in her mind that as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, her original body had a lifespan of only two hundred years or so, and could not survive more than three flaps of the Tianmu Butterfly's wings.

As the saying goes: a five-hundred-year-old Golden Core, a thousand-year-old Nascent Soul. As a peak Spiritualization Stage cultivator, Bai Yi Ma Jia has a lifespan of five thousand years, and can withstand five hundred attacks of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly Fan.

She closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf, thinking to herself: The habits of the silkworm mentioned in that story and the habits of the silkworm mentioned in this book are almost diametrically opposed. What is recorded in the book should be true, so there is probably some unknown secret hidden behind that story.

However, to find out what the secret is, you still have to go and see it in person.

*

In central Yunzhou, Cangyun City remained as bustling and bustling as ever, with a constant stream of cultivators coming and going. This was a typical cultivator city, protected by a massive formation like any other, making it invisible and inaccessible to ordinary mortals.

Ninety percent of the people in the city are human cultivators, while the remaining layer is composed of great demons and mortals who live in seclusion in the city. These mortals are generally related to a cultivator, which is why they can survive in the city. Most of them are cultivators without spiritual roots and are unable to cultivate.

The Yun family has become very powerful in recent years and has always occupied a dominant position in Cangyun City. The current head of the Yun family, Yun Jiang, is also the lord of Cangyun City.

The Yun family's atmosphere was not good to begin with. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. Therefore, there are often cases of oppression of mortals in the city. As the lowest class in the city, mortals behave very low-key and humble, and try not to go out. Basically, only cultivators can be seen on the streets.

Normal monastic cities are crowded with all kinds of monastics coming and going every day. In order to facilitate management, there are no-fly orders that prohibit monastics from flying at will. The same is true for Cangyun City.

Even though the Yun family had been in a state of turmoil recently, it was still a formidable fortress for ordinary small sects and independent cultivators. Therefore, after paying the entrance fee, the cultivators who came here walked into the city honestly and steadily.

Above the clouds, the female cultivator in white was not in a hurry to enter the city. She first looked down, compared the information she had learned with the layout of the city below, and determined the location of the Yun family. Then she slowly floated to the woods outside the city, flipped her wrist, raised her palm and slapped the ground behind her.

boom!

There was a loud explosion in the distant forest, and the ground was hit by dense cracks like spider webs. The deepest crack was hundreds of feet from the ground. It really deserved the name of Earth-Splitting Palm!

The man who had been hiding deep underground was caught off guard and was seriously injured. He vomited blood. He realized that he was exposed and didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately stuffed a few pills into his mouth and turned around to escape deeper underground.

Yun Miao, who had already "seen" the red blood bar through her spiritual sense, naturally could not let this red-named monster go. She raised her palm and clapped it again, and a scorching flame immediately penetrated into the crack in the ground.

In the blink of an eye, flames began to emerge from the spider-web-like cracks, and at first glance it looked like an underground volcano erupting.

A figure was scrambling left and right underground but couldn't get rid of the terrifying flames. Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, he had no choice but to give up hiding, quickly broke out of the ground and flew away.

Yun Miao immediately performed the Beidou Wandering Dragon Step. She only took one step forward, and the afterimage behind her was like a swimming dragon. Before it dissipated, she was already standing behind the man, raising her hand to press his shoulder.

His earth escape and breath concealment skills were very strong. If she had not just used her spiritual sense to explore from high altitude and happened to notice the red blood bar on the ground, she might not have been able to find him.

Yun Miao used her spiritual sense to scan the middle-aged man with mediocre appearance. She was very sure that she did not know this Jindan stage cultivator, but this guy was hiding in the dark and following her. He was also a red-named monster who had murderous intentions towards her.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man's body tensed instantly. He didn't dare turn his head, but stood stiffly in mid-air. "Someone paid for your information. I'm just a paid employee. Don't kill me."

Yun Miao: "Who wants to buy my information?"

The middle-aged man with his back to her said in a trembling voice that someone had posted a task in the dark domain to investigate her identity and background. The dark domain was originally a mixed bag, and people did things that could not be seen in the airspace, so he didn't know who had posted the task.

Yun Miao knew the dark domain. If the air domain was compared to the online world of the cultivation world, then the dark domain was the dark web.

The disciple order of Xuantian Sect can only connect to the airspace within the sect, so the senior brothers and sisters will buy a public version of the communication jade slip when they have money. The contents of the sect's airspace, such as the list of beauties in the cultivation world, the list of magic weapons in the cultivation world, the list of masters in the cultivation world, etc., are moved over by the senior brothers and sisters from the public version of the cultivation world's airspace.

Because the threshold for entering the cultivation realm is very low, people from all walks of life can enter, and there are even demonic cultivators lurking in there to secretly stir up trouble, so the atmosphere is very chaotic. The dark realm is even more chaotic.

She had accidentally let the Poison Lady escape before, and the Demon Cult got the news, but they didn't dare to come to Yunzhou to cause trouble. It was normal that they were so angry that they sent a mission to snipe her in the Dark Domain.

But... "No, you're lying. If that mission was just to investigate my identity and background, why would you have the intention to kill me?"

The middle-aged man had cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said that he didn't.

"You have."

Yun Miao ignored his excuses and continued, "You're only at the Jindan stage. Judging from how you hid and followed me just now, you should know that I'm stronger than you. You wouldn't have the guts to kill me alone. Do you have accomplices?"

The middle-aged man was shocked, but he still tried to calm down and argued: "Please spare my life, sir. I really just wanted to get information because of greed. I didn't come here to kill anyone, and I don't have any accomplices. I just want to make a living, sir..."

Just as he was racking his brains to try to make himself sound more innocent, he suddenly felt the white female monk behind him remove the hand that had been pressing on his shoulder.

A look of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, and he thought he had successfully fooled the gang. However, the next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and he fell heavily to the ground like a fallen kite.

The middle-aged man clutched his chest, feeling the excruciating pain of his heart meridian being shattered by a palm strike. He looked up at the white-robed female cultivator in the air, his eyes filled with despair and disbelief. "Why...why?"

Yun Miao's expression was indifferent, and she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong at all: "Since you don't want to tell the truth, then forget it."

She is currently busy with the Yun family's side quest and has no time to deal with the Demon Cult's side quest. Naturally, she doesn't have the time to listen to the nonsense of a red-named monster.

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but unfortunately he couldn't say it anymore and could only die in resentment.

Yun Miao raised her hand and took the storage bag and other items with collectible light spots from the corpse through the air, and then burned the corpse with fire. It was not that she liked to destroy the corpse, but she was worried that the situation like Hua Xiu Gui would appear again, where the heart was crushed but still not dead, so she skillfully finished off the corpse.

Then she found the middle-aged man's communication jade slip from the storage bag, erased the original spiritual imprint on it, and skillfully probed into the spiritual sense to check. She originally wanted to log into the dark domain to see what specific tasks were written in the demon cult's wanted order for her.

However, after she logged into the airspace and read some gossip about the world of cultivation, she suddenly realized that the Dark Domain, as the dark side of the world of cultivation that cannot be seen by the public, naturally could not be displayed openly, and she currently had no idea how to log into the Dark Domain.

Forget it, there’s no rush. Let’s deal with the Yun family first.

Yun Miao put away the communication jade slip with a rather bored look on her face and strode towards Cangyun City. However, as she reached the city gate, she heard the guards at the gate collecting two low-grade spirit stones as an entrance fee from the cultivators entering the city.

Although two low-grade spirit stones were nothing to Yun Miao, a wealthy woman, she suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards the city wall, then used the Five Elements Escape Technique in a deserted place and went directly into the ground.

Her Five Elements Escape Technique was more advanced than the middle-aged man's Earth Escape Technique. It wasn't simply about making the ground give way to her, like digging a tunnel underground like a mole. Instead, it was about temporarily transforming her body into the elements.

For example, burrowing underground means directly merging with the soil, like a ball of refined mud that penetrates and moves in the land, but will not destroy the original land structure in the slightest.

In just a few breaths, the ball of mud that Yun Miao turned into easily passed through the city defense formation that was said to be able to withstand powerful people in the Nascent Soul Stage.

In an empty alley three streets away from the Yun family's old house, a female cultivator in white suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She first walked out of the alley and looked left and right, then went straight towards the Yun family's old house.

On the second floor of a restaurant on the street, Shui Furong was leaning against the window in a private room, drinking alone while gazing at the bustling street outside. Her eyes were unfocused, her cheeks flushed, as if she had been drunk for a long time.

It was not until the female cultivator in white came out of the alley that Shui Furong's eyes turned and her gaze fell on the female cultivator.

She had been looking outside just now. Although she was not very focused, the powerful eyesight of the Void Refinement Stage meant that even without using her spiritual sense, she could see everything outside the window in detail, and the vast sea of ​​consciousness gave her the ability to remember everything she saw.

So she was certain that no one had entered that narrow alley just now. When she came here to drink before, she also walked from that alley to the street, so she was also sure that there was no door in the alley. So how did the female cultivator in white enter the alley?

If it were an ordinary time, Shui Furong would never be so bored as to guess where a stranger came from and where he was going, but she was already very bored, so she just watched without blinking.

Yun Miao keenly sensed that someone was staring at her. She subconsciously looked up and saw that the second-floor window of a nearby restaurant was wide open. A drunken woman in blue with a beautiful face was leaning on the window and looking at her.

Seeing her looking at her, the woman in blue casually raised the wine jug in her hand and waved it at her, as if to say hello.

"The Shuiyue wine here is pretty good, would you like to have a drink with me?"

Yun Miao knew at a glance that this was a randomly refreshed small task. She was not interested in doing it for the time being, so she turned her head indifferently and continued walking forward as if she didn't see it.

Shui Furong poured herself another glass of wine and quietly watched her figure disappear at the end of the street. She murmured, "Although I don't know where she came from, I'm sure she knows where she's going. How wonderful."

There are so many confused people in this world. Knowing where to go and what to do is something that people envy. At least she envied it now.

Shui Furong drunkenly raised the wine jug and drank the remaining wine in one gulp before casually tossing the white porcelain jug behind her. When the exquisite jug landed right in the center of the table, she was no longer visible by the window.

*

A moment later, Yun Miao, who was standing across the street, glanced at the Yun family's old house not far away. The Xuantian Sect was a secluded sect, hidden in the Xuantian Mountains that stretched for thousands of miles. It was very secluded and leisurely.

Aristocratic families prefer to take root in bustling and prosperous cities. The Yun family, who have dominated Cangyun City for many years, even moved their old house to the city center, next door to the City Lord's Mansion, fully demonstrating their ambitions and desires.

After so many years of development, the Yun family's old house has been rebuilt to be more majestic and solemn. The large rift that was previously split by Master Chang has been completely repaired in the past month. The huge and heavy elm door stands on the bluestone door pier, full of the charm of time. The door knocker is an auspicious beast made of black gold.

The ebony plaque is inscribed with the Chinese characters "Yun Family" in a flamboyant style. It is obvious that it was written by a great calligrapher and has a strong scholarly air.

If Yun Miao had not known the Yun family's character for a long time, he would have been intimidated by the aura of this old house.

Master is right, these aristocratic families are really good at pretending.

Yun Miao sighed as he turned and left, preparing to find an empty corner to sneak into the Yun family.

As a player who never likes to use her brain, her plan this time is to sneak in first and kill the strongest person in the Yun family, the ancestor of the Yun family who is at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Then, she would kill the elders in the Out-of-Body Stage and the head of the Yun Family in the Nascent Soul Stage one by one, to avoid being surrounded by those who were less powerful than her and causing her to lose her way. She would then clear out all the other minions of the Yun Family and completely wipe out the Yun Family.

The last part is the players’ favorite part of scanning the map. She must first find the Yun family’s treasure, the Heavenly Silkworm, and then plunder the Yun family’s old house, so take away everything she can, including the black gold door knocker and the gilded plaque on the door!

Although the lawful camp is fun, it is too frustrating to always be lawful. Players also want to be chaotic and evil occasionally. Hehehe~

Soon, Yun Miao found a secluded corner with no one around. Not far away was the wall of the Yun family's old house. However, just as she was about to escape underground, she once again felt an invisible gaze staring at her.

Yun Miao paused and looked in that direction suspiciously for a moment. There was no one there, and her spiritual sense did not scan any living creature there, but her eyes and spiritual sense both saw a prompt box of the Void Refinement Realm floating in the air.

The opponent had no killing intent, so the health bar didn't glow red. But this tracking was clearly abnormal. Yun Miao didn't hesitate at all, drawing his sword and stabbing at the air.

Could it be that this person also saw the mission issued by the Demon Cult in the Dark Domain, so he came here specifically?

First see if you can beat him. If you can, capture him and ask him how to enter the dark realm.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Master and senior brothers said: The Yun family is very dangerous, the Yun family is very treacherous, and the Yun family is extremely bold. You are still very weak, so you must stay away from the Yun family. We will find a way to get rid of the Yun family.

What Yun Miao heard: "Let me get rid of the Yun family? Got it!"
