After being interrupted by Luo Qingyun, Xiang Jianjue lost the idea of continuing to scold and turned to talk about business: "Senior Brother said that there must be spies watching us recently, and it is easy for news to leak out if you move around.
You don't need to go out with me to practice swordsmanship in the future. I will come over every three days to teach you personally and check your progress. Do you understand?"
Xiang Sheng nodded obediently, "I understand."
Xiang Jianjue's expression softened slightly. "Big Brother and the Sect Master both value you highly. Don't let laziness ruin your talent. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Xiang Jianjue stood up and walked away decisively, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sea of clouds on his sword.
Luo Qingyun looked at him and couldn't help but teasingly said, "This little disciple you accepted has a cold exterior but a warm heart. How interesting."
Xiang Sheng burst out laughing.
Three days later, Xiang Sheng, dressed in black, stepped into Changyuan City.
This city is not far from Wanjianmen, only about 700 miles away. At her speed, she can arrive there in half a day.
The city was bustling with people, and it was quite lively. Xiang Sheng had stayed in Wanjianmen for a long time, and when he returned to the bustling place, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Putting aside her distracting thoughts, she came to a high-end teahouse with few customers and went straight to the top floor.
The tea on the top floor is the most expensive, and there are very few customers. Xiang Sheng glanced and saw Jiang Yi sitting at a window seat.
Noticing the movement of the visitor, Jiang Yi raised his head and smiled faintly, "Friend Si, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Xiang Sheng walked up to him and sat down, saying calmly, "Jiang Zhenzhen is truly bold. He walks around with his true identity. Isn't he afraid of being seen by the spies of the Demon Palace?"
"The great secluded himself in the city. The Demon Palace will only focus on the places where monks often gather. Who would care about this secular city?"
At this point, Jiang Yi curled his lips slightly, "Besides, if I meet Fellow Daoist Si with a fake face, it would be a bit rude."
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly. This guy obviously had something else to say, implying that she was rude in disguise.
However, after she cultivated the secret technique of shape-shifting to the second level, no one has yet figured it out. Jiang Yi's words were probably just a test.
Thinking of this, she simply smiled and said, "I am truly flattered that the Ancient Echo Valley Master treats me so carefully."
Both of them were smart people. As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yi knew that his probing had been noticed by the other party. He stopped asking questions, put down the cup, and said, "There is no point in talking too much nonsense. Let's get down to business."
Xiang Sheng took a sip of tea and said, "I'm all ears."
Jiang Yi frowned slightly, but he also knew that he was at a disadvantage in this confrontation and he should speak first.
With a sigh, he casually cast a soundproof barrier around the two of them and spoke slowly, "The demon fetus gathers the evil energy of heaven and earth, invading the mind. Once it erupts, it will turn into a madman who only knows how to kill.
In ancient times, there was indeed a person who was born with a demon fetus. This person's cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage, but after the explosion, even the Nascent Soul cultivators were no match for him, and he could only flee in panic.
The demon fetus's wrath had obliterated its sanity, turning it into a mad, bloodthirsty existence. Wherever it passed, no one was left alive, leaving countless lives in ruins. Furthermore, during its cultivation, the demon fetus's cultivation rapidly increased. After just a few days, even those at the Tribulation Crossing stage could only match it on equal terms, unable to curb its evil deeds.
Xiang Sheng pursed his lips slightly, "What happened next?"
"Later, someone took action."
A complex expression flashed across Jiang Yi's eyes. "She sealed the demon fetus with the supreme restriction and easily eliminated this catastrophe."
Xiang Sheng's heart moved, and he asked, "Is it the leader of the Puppet Sect?"
"good."
Jiang Yi put away his complicated expression and nodded, "I have a history with the Puppet Sect's leader, and I know a lot about the demon fetus. I wonder what specifically Fellow Daoist Si wants to ask?"
Xiang Sheng pondered and asked, "Is it possible to eliminate the demonic nature in the demon fetus without damaging its foundation?"
Jiang Yi took a deep look at Xiang Sheng, and he was certain in his heart that the other party must have a close descendant who was a natural demon fetus, and whose demonic nature had already erupted, and was sealed by him.
Otherwise, if the demon fetus was born, there would have been a bloody storm in Dongzhou long ago, and it would not have been so peaceful.
"There is a way."
Jiang Yi concluded, "But we need to find a treasure called the Holy Sun Pearl. This pearl is not a treasure from heaven or earth, but was refined by the leader of the Puppet Sect specifically for the demon fetus.
This bead can not only neutralize the evil nature in the demon fetus, but also transform it into a magical power, called the Demon God Guide.
I don't know how powerful this magical power is, but I only heard the Puppet Sect's leader say that this magical power involves the origin, and it can not only increase strength, but also assist in cultivation. It is a top-grade magical power."
Xiang Sheng's heart surged as he listened, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Turning a world-destroying disaster into an opportunity, the Puppet Sect's leader's methods are truly extraordinary."
"I had the same idea as you back then."
Hearing his friend's praise again in another life, Jiang Yi's impression of Xiang Sheng immediately improved a lot. He continued, "Back then, the leader of the Puppet Sect refined a total of three Holy Sun Orbs. Only one was used on the demon fetus, and the other two were sealed.
After the fall of the Puppet Sect, the sect's treasure house disappeared, and the whereabouts of the Holy Sun Orb were also unknown. However, after all these years of secret investigation, I have found some clues.
Once we find out the exact location, I'd like to invite you, Fellow Daoist Si, to join me. However, apart from the Holy Sun Orb, Fellow Daoist Si is not allowed to take any other treasures. I will keep the treasury safe until the successor of the Puppet Sect is born."
Xiang Sheng nodded, "That's as it should be."
"This is the Pure Heart Jade Pendant."
Jiang Yi took out a milky white jade pendant from his storage ring, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xiang Sheng. "Although this treasure cannot eliminate the demonic nature, it can slightly suppress the hostility in the demon fetus. As long as the demon fetus is not stimulated, it should be able to maintain lucidity for three to five years."
"Thank you, Daoist Brother Jiang, for the gift."
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
