Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

"Huff."

Shen Yi slowly stepped out of the ancestral hall, taking a moment to feel the accumulation of pill toxins within his body.

Actually, every time he took action, he could sense these things affecting him, but before, his body also contained a jumble of messes, so he hadn't paid too much attention.

It turned out to be quite serious.

He flipped through the additional route maps in his mind, and just looking at the vast distance, it was clear that the so-called Treasure Flower Sect was definitely not one of the Nan Hong Seven Sons.

It was an external sect.

In this case, it would be somewhat inappropriate to ask the Pure Moon Sect for help again.

Shen Yi summoned Zhang Laifu; at present, it seemed his only assistance was this dog.

The strength of both was only comparable to a Returned Void Realm fourth layer, and that dog had an extremely poor innate bloodline, only suitable for bullying those whose realm was lower than its own.

Such strength was obviously insufficient within the entire scope of Nan Hong.

But he still had to go and take a look.

Shen Yi glanced back at his surroundings; this Nanyang Treasure Land, he really did not want to give it up to someone else, unless it was absolutely necessary.

The realm was secondary, after all, there was more than this treasure land in the world.

But there were too many people in the treasure land who had helped him before, and if he were to put the lives of these people in the hands of a stranger, especially with the precedent of the Nanyang Sect.

Shen Yi couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy.

"..."

Collecting his thoughts, he headed towards the direction of the Yu Family Clan.

In the past ten-plus days of alchemy breakthroughs,

Li Qingfeng had already properly arranged the group of new allies, and as instructed by Shen Yi, distributed the large quantity of moon pearls.

These pearls, useless to Returned Void Cultivators, were akin to miraculous pills to those in the Qi Training and Divinity Transformation Realms.

Swallowing a moon pearl was like taking an Overwhelm Confusion Pill with no side effects.

If one had to say, the mere cultivation boosted by moon pearls could possibly result in an unstable Dao heart, which is why powerful Immortal Sects usually didn't favor such things.

Just like the Huashen Pill, disciples with good talent were outright forbidden from consuming it.

Only the path one walks step by step is the most solid and reliable, enabling one to go further.

But the cultivators of the Nanyang Sect did not have this concern.

Because they themselves had endured conditions much more arduous than those of cultivators outside.

"How is it, are you getting used to it?"

Shen Yi arrived beside a lake, looking at the newly built row of houses, and saw the slightly awkward and constrained expressions of the Yu Family Clan, but they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.

Upon sensing Shen Yi's approach, Patriarch Yu had come out to greet him in advance. Hearing the question, her expression was a little embarrassed: "To report back to Sect Master... what is there to get used to or not... You might not be quite aware, for us Loose Cultivators outside, being able to live normally in a Union Dao treasure land is something to offer respects to our ancestors for."

She had come to realize that Sect Master Shen simply did not know how generous a reward he had given.

In simple terms, outside, even an ordinary middle-stage Returned Void Cultivator could cause heavy casualties to them.

But now that they were in the Nanyang Treasure Land, shielded by a great formation, even those cultivators who ascended to White Jade Capital would find it difficult to affect them further.

"Thank you, Sect Master, for your immense kindness; the Yu Family will never forget it."

Patriarch Yu bowed respectfully: "If you have come this time with orders, we will do our utmost to comply."

"Nothing at the moment, just keeping the promise I made to you last time."

Shen Yi shook his head and placed his palm on the shoulder of the old woman.

"..."

Patriarch Yu had not known Shen Yi for long, and despite her immense gratitude, she instinctively wanted to dodge.

But she soon realized and tried to stop herself.

Yet, her face suddenly went stiff. The moment that fair hand landed, she found she had no chance to move at all.

Even injured, she possessed genuine strength of the Returned Void third layer.

What was the promise mentioned before?

Patriarch Yu suddenly remembered something, looking up in shock.

The Sect Master had said he would heal her after his breakthrough; she had been prepared to suffer for hundreds or thousands of years more, but now it seemed to have been just over ten days... And had the Sect Master also happened to practice the spiritual body cultivation technique related to the Golden Fire in the meantime?

"Huff."

Shen Yi's Heavenly Phoenix Indestructible True Body, both in realm and bloodline, completely overwhelmed the old Golden Fire Sparrow.

In just over ten breaths of time, he forcibly extracted the remaining Golden Fire from Patriarch Yu's body.

Effortlessly absorbing it into the Phoenix Perching on Parasol Tree within himself.

Patriarch Yu's dark-red complexion instantly turned pale, but her eyes were filled with overwhelming joy, as the burning sensation that had tormented her for many days was finally completely eradicated.

With a bit more nurturing, she could return to her previous state.

When the joy in her eyes faded, she looked at Shen Yi again, awe in her eyes deepening.

No wonder he could be a Sect Master in the early stage of Return to Void.

Such talent was simply too terrifying.

More importantly, he seemed to genuinely treat the Yu Family as ordinary cultivators, and up to this moment, he had not shown any ulterior motives.

"Alright, settle in for now, if there's anything, still seek the person from before."

Shen Yi, having assimilated the Golden Fire, saw a flash of brilliance fade from his eyes.

It seemed there was nothing else to be done.

He then took out his Dao Plate, opened up the Great Formation, and swept out of the Nanyang Sect.

...

Pure Moon Sect, Bamboo Tower.

Liu Shiqian sat calmly in his chair, his gaze falling on the Dao Plate on the table; his expression was somewhat complex.
