Li Shiming didn't know how rare it was to have the opportunity to clean a Jindan ruins mansion alone.
Normally, almost no cultivator would explore the abandoned mansion alone, mainly because exploring the abandoned mansion would be safer if coordinated actions were required.
In other words, the Six-Fingered Sound Demon did it on purpose, wanting to lure a single cultivator to come.
The real abandoned mansion is not so easy to open, and the method of opening the formation is also given.
The first hurdle is to break the formation. The formation of the Jindan cultivator's cave cannot be easily broken by a foundation-building cultivator.
After that, he would have to face the self-defense means left in the cave by the Jindan cultivator. The Six-Fingered Sound Demon did not leave any self-defense means in the cave, which meant he had other ideas.
After all these are passed, after the baptism of time in an ancient mansion, the number of treasures that can be left is very limited.
Monks are not the type of people who can make selfless contributions. In many cases, the ruins are the monks' graves. You can't have your graves dug up and still send gifts.
Therefore, exploring the abandoned mansion is a task full of dangers, and Li Shiming's exploration this time is actually extremely dangerous.
The second room is the study. Li Shiming got a set of second-grade desks and chairs, and a large number of jade slips. Among them, there are very few jade slips of martial arts techniques, and most of them are various travel notes and knowledge slips.
The third room is the warehouse, which contains a lot of spiritual materials. Unfortunately, there are no third-grade spiritual materials, only second-grade spiritual materials.
This warehouse didn't look like a Jindan cultivator's warehouse at all, which made him extremely disappointed.
The second-grade spiritual materials were in a very messy and disorganized state. He suspected that they were all spoils of war and were casually thrown here.
Moreover, some spiritual materials are not properly stored, so their spirituality is lost and their value is greatly reduced.
This is normal. These spiritual materials have been kept here for at least hundreds of years. Even with the protection of the formation, it is impossible to stop the slow loss of their spiritual power.
Afterwards, he went to the garden and collected the lotus together with its rhizome. He used a jade box specially used to collect spiritual medicines, which could greatly preserve the spirituality of the lotus.
The lotus has a calming and soothing effect on cultivators. When planted in a cave, it can also refresh the air inside the cave.
This cave has not been opened for hundreds of years, but the environment inside has been able to remain the same, which is due to the effect of the second-grade lotus.
Li Shiming cleaned the cave and took away everything he could.
I don’t know if the spiritual vein here is due to time issues or the original quality of the spiritual vein was not high, but it is only a top-grade spiritual vein, and is not as good as the spiritual vein at the Wei family’s base.
Of course, the most likely possibility is that there is something wrong with the spiritual vein itself, otherwise the Six-Fingered Sound Demon would not have chosen this place as his cave dwelling.
He will seal up the cave, which will serve as another place to stay.
Returning to the original room, Jiang Chen had almost cleaned up the room. The body of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon and the black guqin on the ground were all revealed.
Li Shiming stepped forward and picked up the black guqin. His spiritual thoughts swept across the guqin. The original spiritual imprint inside had long disappeared, but because it was his own magic weapon, he could still sense the spiritual traces on the black guqin.
This spiritual trace is almost impossible to erase. Unless it is approved by the Six-Fingered Sound Demon himself, any cultivator using the black guqin will not be able to exert 100% of its power. At most, they can only exert half of its power.
The natal magic weapon is contaminated with too much of the original golden elixir aura, and these original golden elixir auras are almost integrated with the natal magic weapon.
Of course, if you have perseverance and spend hundreds of years slowly driving them away, you might have a chance to increase the power of the magic weapon.
But almost no monks do this. Instead of spending their time and energy on this, they would rather focus on other magical weapons with greater potential.
Putting away the black guqin, his spiritual thoughts swept over the fingers of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon and took off the space ring.
When he observed the fingers of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon, he found that each of its hands had six fingers. No wonder it was named the Six-Fingered Sound Demon.
The space ring had no resistance at all due to the death of its owner, and his spiritual thoughts invaded it.
The space inside the space ring is extremely large, one hundred meters long, wide and high, the same size as his other space ring.
But there were very few things inside, so Li Shiming's first focus was naturally on the jade slip.
Two golden jade slips were placed alone in one place. These were the only two jade slips in the space.
Fortunately, the quality of the golden jade slips was the highest among all the jade slips he had ever seen, which made up for the lack of quantity.
'Immortal Turtle Breathing Technique' is a life-preserving technique that allows cultivators to live longer in a static state, and even exceed the shackles of their original lifespan.
This technique has no effect on combat power, and even its effect is not very attractive to ordinary cultivators.
Being in a static state means not eating or drinking and cannot practice other skills. One can only practice the "Immortal Turtle Breathing Technique" to maintain survival.
Practicing the 'Immortal Turtle Breathing Technique' will not improve your strength at all. The only thing that increases during the period of stillness is your lifespan.
Li Shiming thought about the state of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon and estimated that it was most likely that he survived by practicing the 'Immortal Turtle Breathing Technique'.
The second golden jade slip did not disappoint him. The "Secret Book of Heavenly Sound" was exactly the inheritance of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon.
The only part he could read at the moment was the foundation-building chapter. The 'Secret Book of Heavenly Sound' recorded how to cultivate Heavenly Sound spiritual power and use it to perform a secret method called 'Stealing Heavenly Sound', as well as more than ten pieces of music with different functions.
He had read the foundation-building chapter, and he was 100% sure that the 'Secret Book of Heavenly Sound' was not a magic cultivation method at all, but an authentic Taoist sound cultivation method.
Moreover, the ‘Sound of Stealing Heaven’ is not only applicable to piano music, but can be applied to any musical instrument, and can bring out the power of the ‘Sound of Stealing Heaven’.
Of course, the 'Secret Book of Heavenly Sound' records the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's experience in using the guqin. If one uses the guqin to unleash the power of 'Heavenly Stealing Sound', one does not need to explore on one's own but can learn directly.
Li Shiming frowned slightly. His talent was not good, and his three spiritual roots made his cultivation speed very slow.
If he were to learn a sound-cultivating technique as a supplement, his cultivation speed would be even slower, which would be extremely detrimental to his development.
He initially thought that the inheritance of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon was just a secret technique of using sound waves, but who would have thought that it was actually a sound cultivation method.
At least he will not learn the "Heavenly Sound Secret Book" in a short period of time. As for Li Yuanba, it goes without saying that it is already special for a sword cultivator to bring a refined corpse. If he adds a sound cultivator, he will be even further away from a sword cultivator.
He put the two golden jade slips aside and focused his attention on a pile of jade boxes.
According to his experience, spiritual objects that can be contained in a jade box are extremely valuable.
What is precious to the Six-Fingered Sound Demon is even more unimaginable to Li Shiming.
Then something embarrassing happened. He opened the jade boxes one by one and only felt the spiritual energy overflowing, but could not recognize the things inside.
From the quality of the spiritual energy, he could tell that these were all third-grade spiritual medicines, and that these jade boxes themselves were spiritual artifacts that could preserve the spiritual medicines inside for a long time.
Even though he didn't recognize these spiritual medicines, he still felt his wealth. The wealth of a late Jindan cultivator was really lavish.
Next to a pile of jade boxes are two spiritual ores, third-grade spiritual ores that have not been processed and are the basic materials for making magic weapons.
Li Shiming still couldn't recognize the two spiritual ores, which made him realize that he lacked a lot of knowledge.
This was the result of him obtaining all the collections in the Wei family library. Of course, once he studied the jade slips in the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's study, his accumulation of knowledge would increase significantly.
The last item was a golden coffin, which he couldn't even open. When his spiritual sense approached it, he instinctively felt fear, as if something terrible was sealed inside.
This is all the collection of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon. Li Shiming discovered that there was no elixir or spirit stone among them, not even a low-grade spirit stone.
In fact, over the years, the Six-Fingered Sound Demon had already used up all the elixirs and spirit stones. If it weren't for the fact that the spirit medicines needed to be processed before they could be taken, all of these third-grade spirit medicines would have been used up by him.
Putting the space ring into the computer room, his spiritual thoughts scanned the body of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon.
Soon he shook his head. The muscles of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon had atrophied to the point where they were almost invisible. His whole body was dry and thin, and even his bone joints were stiff due to long-term inactivity.
This body has no value anymore, and even the cultivation and refinement of the corpse cannot be carried out.
The transformation of a corpse requires the mass of the corpse itself as a basis. For a corpse like the Six-Fingered Sound Demon, the muscle tissue is almost non-existent, so how can the corpse be transformed?
"Fellow Daoist, I'm handing the body over to you. Maybe you can use it!" Li Shiming said to Li Yuanba.
"Fellow Daoist, I'll put it away then!" Li Yuanba replied with a smile as he put the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's body into his storage bag.
Li Yuanba is ready to join the Senluo Sect, and the Six-Fingered Sound Demon was hunted by the Senluo Sect in the past. Maybe the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's body will be of some use at a critical moment.
After sealing the cave again, the formation here provided Li Shiming with a lot of formation knowledge, especially the aspect of spatial isolation, which made him see a new world.
After leaving the cave, the two used sword escape to follow the instructions on the map and headed towards the gate of Senluo Sect.
The journey was still extremely chaotic. The cultivators in every part of the Ten Thousand Mountains were fighting for resources and interests. The entire Ten Thousand Mountains seemed to be shrouded in an aura of tyranny.
"Fellow Daoist, let's say goodbye here. Please keep this thing and be careful!" Li Shiming took out the Senluo Order from the computer room and handed it over.
This place is still a thousand miles away from Senluo Sect, but if we move forward, we will enter the coverage of Senluo Sect's formation. Then we will take out the Senluo Order from the computer room. This sudden appearance will cause great trouble.
Besides, the front is relatively safe. When you get closer to the Senluo Sect’s headquarters thousands of miles away, there are fewer conflicts between monks.
The monks here seemed to love each other all of a sudden, and there was no more the brutality that was seen in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist, you must also be careful!" Li Yuanba said as he took over the Senluo Order.
Li Shiming's figure turned into sword light and turned to leave. Li Yuanba put away the Senluo Order and watched his figure disappear.
"The monk in front, stop this kid!" Just as Li Yuanba turned around and prepared to move forward, a voice came from behind.
When he turned around, he found a young man covered in blood and missing an arm approaching quickly, with more than a dozen monks chasing him closely.
The young man who lost his arm looked at Li Yuanba vigilantly. Seeing that Li Yuanba had no intention of attacking him, he turned his gaze to the ground in front of him. When he saw a stone tablet on the ground, an excited smile appeared on his face.
The young man increased his speed again, rushed to the stone tablet and stopped, showing a sarcastic look towards the dozen or so monks chasing after him.
Li Yuanba had no intention of intervening and walked past the stone tablet. When he passed by the stone tablet, he saw the words "Senluo Sect" written on it.
"Damn it, he was allowed to reach Senluo Sect. No, that cultivator also has the Senluo Order!" A cultivator who had caught up to them said in annoyance while looking at the young man and Li Yuanba with a compass in his hand.
But even though the young man and Li Yuanba were only a short distance away from them, they had no intention of taking action.
No cultivator dared to break the rules of the Senluo Sect, at least not in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The young man also heard what the pursuers said and couldn't help but look at Li Yuanba. After seeing the bronze mask on Li Yuanba's face and his clean body without any damage, a flash of jealousy appeared in his eyes.
He obtained the Senluo Order, and all his relatives died to protect him. He himself escaped here at the cost of his own life. He paid too much.
Li Yuanba also obtained the Senluo Order, so why was he not hurt at all and came to the Senluo Sect leisurely? This is so unfair.
Li Yuanba didn't know what the young man was thinking. After observing the stone tablet, he saw that the people chasing him had stopped, and he realized that the place beyond the stone tablet was safe.
He also felt relieved and no longer had to worry about any other monks causing trouble for him.
Thinking of this, the golden sword on his body flew out, carrying him and turning into a sword light as he flew forward.
When the young man saw him leaving, he was afraid that he would snatch his opportunity, so he glanced at the pursuers hatefully, with the hatred in his eyes like a bloodthirsty poisonous snake.
He memorized the appearance of his enemy, turned around and ran towards the gate of Senluo Sect at full speed.
Some of the dozen or so monks shuddered secretly, some tightly grasped their magic weapons to suppress the idea of silencing him, and some looked at the young man with great disdain.
The Senluo Sect is a major sect of demonic cultivators, but the mountain gate is not as eerie as one might imagine.
The mountain gate of Senluo Sect is composed of twelve peaks. The mountains are lush and green, with white clouds floating between them and flocks of birds flying in the mountains from time to time.
Li Yuanba stood outside the mountain gate. In front of him stood a huge stone tablet with two blood-red characters "Stop" inscribed on it. In the strokes of these two characters, there seemed to be countless human figures howling and rolling, describing the taboos of this place.
The meaning of the two words is self-evident. The blood and soul of those who dare not stop will be added to the words on the stone tablet.
He took the Senluo Order in his hand and waited for the reaction of the Senluo Sect.
The young man behind arrived soon. His face was pale. In order to catch up with Li Yuanba, he aggravated his injuries. The resentment in his eyes when he looked at Li Yuanba was even deeper and stronger.
