"Release me, or I will make the entire cave collapse!" the soul of the cave master threatened.
Chen Yi sneered and took out the bronze mirror fragment he had found in the eagle demon's belly.
"Unfortunately, I also have some knowledge of artifact crafting. This magical artifact is damaged, and its spiritual essence has dissipated. You are no longer its master... In other words, you simply cannot make the bronze mirror self-destruct!"
"you!"
The master of the cave was distorted in spirit.
I never imagined I'd be tricked by a junior!
Before she could react, Chen Yi took her soul into the lantern of the Earthly Wrathful Fire.
He sensed that this person's soul had indeed merged with Song Xin's, but not completely.
After all, the merging of souls is a long process, and a few days is not enough for her soul to merge with Song Xin's.
At the moment the soul of the Cave Master was imprisoned by the lantern, Song Xin's body also collapsed.
Fortunately, Li Yun arrived in time and helped him up.
The puppets that had been attacking him and Han Shan also lost control and stopped moving.
Chen Yi took a deep breath and said to Li Yun, "Senior Brother Li, her soul has indeed merged with that cave master. I wonder if there is a way to separate them."
Looking at Song Xin's tightly closed eyes, Li Yun said, "After I return, I will ask my master for help, but he is not proficient in the Dao of the Soul..."
Han Shan murmured, "There is indeed a True Person in the Hidden Moon Sect who has done quite a bit of research on the soul."
Li Yun seemed to remember something, "The Ghostly Immortal?"
Chen Yi was slightly taken aback.
Ghostly Immortal?
Isn't that the True Person of the Youxuan Sect?
If I remember correctly, when I went to the Sutra Repository to receive the minor supernatural power, the one guarding that floor was the Ghostly Immortal, right?
Li Yun sighed softly and said, "Master Youhun has a history of feuds with my Qinghui faction. I wonder if you would be willing to help..."
"Let's discuss this further when we get back."
Han Shan suddenly looked at Chen Yi.
"Junior Brother Chen, thank you!"
Li Yun also looked up at Chen Yi, "I have more than 12,000 contribution points in my sect token. I will give them all to Junior Brother Chen when I get back."
Chen Yi waved his hand, "It's 10,000 as agreed. Keep the rest for yourself."
"However, I have a request. Could you two please give me the fragments of that bronze mirror?"
Faced with Chen Yi's request, Li Yun handed over the bronze mirror fragments from his storage ring without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Han Shan also handed it over.
This action signifies that the bronze mirror was handed over to Chen Yi.
But neither of them regretted it.
If it weren't for Chen Yi, both of them would probably have perished here.
"Hasn't this bronze mirror already lost its spiritual power? Junior Brother Chen, what do you want to do?" Han Shan asked curiously.
Chen Yi nodded slightly, "Although it has lost its spirituality, it is still a magical artifact. I want to try to see if I can repair it..."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
This bronze mirror is so badly damaged that even if it were repaired, it would become a ritual object.
However, he possesses the "Spirit Refining Technique," which allows him to reshape the spirit of an object given time.
Since the material of the bronze mirror is originally of the level of a magical artifact, it may become a magical artifact again in the future as its spirituality increases.
Li Yun and Han Shan sat cross-legged in the main hall to heal their injuries, while Chen Yi strolled around the hall.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
For some unknown reason, the master of that grotto-heaven's physical body collapsed, leaving only his soul.
To pay for treatment, they've probably spent all their savings.
As for cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, they were stored in her mind.
The only valuable things Chen Yi could find were the small stones that could dispel spiritual energy and the puppets.
He collected these pebbles, thinking that he would replicate this "unbreakable" restriction outside in the future.
Those puppets can be used for research, further improving one's puppetry skills...
A moment later, the group left the cave.
Chen Yi stood on the Eagle's Nest and put the broken bronze mirror into his pocket.
The four then began their return journey.
......
The Headquarters of the Hidden Moon Cult.
The Sutra Repository.
Chen Yi found the book "Hundred Refinements of the Thunder Body" again.
When he returned, his mindset had changed.
Last time, he was quite frightened by the 120,000 contribution points, but this time, he was completely unfazed...
"Check, please. I'd like to pay in installments!"
The disciple in charge of processing the installment payments looked at Chen Yi with a surprised expression.
This person looks young and has little cultivation, yet he dares to purchase a body-refining method worth 120,000 contribution points in installments. Does he have some kind of background?
He had seen some disciples who, relying on the powerful figures in their families, sponged off their parents, with their families paying off their installment payments while they themselves couldn't afford to pay a single penny.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and asked, "How much is the down payment?"
“You are a true disciple, so we support zero down payment installments. You don’t need to pay a down payment,” the disciple replied.
Chen Yi nodded secretly, thinking, "As expected of the Hidden Moon Sect, they really know how to provide benefits."
“But I’m going to give it! I’ll give it now, and the rest in 36 installments.”
This 10,000 was naturally his reward for rescuing Song Xin.
The soul has already been returned to Li Yun, and the rest is no longer his concern.
The disciple was taken aback again upon hearing this.
Give it to me first, then divide it into thirty-six installments?
But I still have to pay over three thousand each month, haha, it's quite a burden...
"It's all taken care of for you. Just make the payments on time each month."
Chen Yi left with the "Hundred Refinements of Thunder Body," feeling both excited and somewhat heavy-hearted.
He knew it was because he had taken out a loan.
"With my talent and hard work, it shouldn't be difficult to pay it off."
With that thought in mind, he flew towards his cave.
Now that I have the body-refining method, the next step is naturally to cultivate it diligently.
However, considering that I need to summon lightning to cultivate this method, the commotion would be quite significant.
He then changed direction, intending to leave the territory of the Hidden Moon Sect.
After all, a Nascent Soul Ancestor is stationed here, and it would be bad if something were discovered.
......
An hour later, outside the Hidden Moon Sect, in a deserted valley.
Thunder and rain raged, and torrential rain pounded on the lush green leaves, creating a chaotic yet rhythmic noise.
Chen Yi sat cross-legged atop a large tree, his hands raised high, two index fingers pointing to his head.
Gradually, he drifted into a state of mental blankness, his thoughts wandering aimlessly...
[Warning: Body Tempering training in progress, please do not be distracted!]
[Thunder Tribulation Countdown: 3...2...1......]
"boom!"
A loud roar was heard.
A bolt of lightning struck Chen Yi.
"Smack!"
He felt a tingling sensation all over his body, followed by arcs of electricity running across the surface of his muscles.
His eyes gleamed, and he immediately activated the "Hundred Refinements of Thunder Body" technique to draw upon the residual power of these lightning tribulations to temper his muscles and bones.
A few minutes later...
[Through your efforts, your physical training level has improved; proficiency +3]
Chen Yi murmured in delight, "No wonder it's a method worth 120,000 contribution points!"
Please don't get distracted!
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the second bolt of lightning struck.
This lightning bolt will be even more intense...
Chen Yi was in so much pain that his whole body convulsed.
But he still looked excited and roared, "Watch, let me see your limit!"
