"Alright, since you've passed the stinking old man's test, this Gold Sigil Palace and its Talisman Dao inheritance are yours. However, to activate the Gold Sigil Palace, at minimum you'll need to be at the Late Stage of the Golden Core and use a Top-Grade Spirit Stone, which will still only allow you to barely operate it. And that stinking old man's Body Refinement spell he left behind—you better practice it properly and make yourself tall, handsome, and dashing, or else this lady won't be pleased to help you!"

Jin Zhi said lazily to Fu Nian.

Upon hearing this, Fu Nian felt a mix of embarrassment and excitement. He quickly replied, "Sister Jin, I will definitely practice diligently! However, is it possible to share the inheritance inside with Qing Tan?"

"Hmph, do you think it's some rubbish the stinking old man threw up there for anyone to learn? If that were the case, I'd also like to follow little sister Qing Tan. And from now on, call me Sister Jin, not 'senior'!"

Jin Zhi said dissatisfiedly with her hands on her hips.

"Yes, Sister Jin!"

Fu Nian quickly agreed, feeling that the Artifact Spirit was not easy to get along with. But it seemed like she had a good relationship with Qing Tan.

"Hmm, but speaking of which, there is something inside that isn't part of the stinking old man's Talisman Dao inheritance; it's a Dao Technique he obtained by killing enemies, called the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique. It also includes its preceding spell, the Soul Cleansing Technique. If you're willing, you can give it to little sister Qing Tan."

"Sister Jin, that's quite a coincidence. I just gave the Soul Cleansing Technique to Qing Tan," Fu Nian said happily. He felt somewhat guilty for claiming most of the benefits on this trip when Qing Tan had contributed so much.

"Oh? How is she doing with it?" Jin Zhi curiously looked at Yu Qingtan.

"Not too bad," Yu Qingtan said, then took out the Roaming Zither and played the Soul Cleansing tune, casting the Soul Cleansing Technique.

"Good! Sister Qing Tan is just being modest. The Soul Cleansing Technique is already at the complete Second Stage, so the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique rightfully belongs to you."

Jin Zhi said with a smile. Then, with a wave of her hand, a Jade Slip flew out of the Gold Sigil Palace and towards Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan caught it and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister!"

"Just make sure to prepare some good stories for me in your spare time!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Afterward, it took Fu Nian half a day to barely refine the Gold Sigil Palace and incorporate it into his body.

Yu Qingtan then parted ways with Fu Nian and Jin Zhi. Fu Nian planned to rent a cave dwelling suitable for Golden Core Stage cultivators to cultivate in secrecy at Qu Fu Immortal City, to assimilate the Divine Rune Honored One's inheritance.

Yu Qingtan, on the other hand, mentioned she still had some business to take care of in the Yunhua Mountain Range.

Yu Qingtan employed the Breath-Concealing Technique and the Five Elements Qiankun Escape, quickly arriving at her usual spot, the Solitary Peak where the Monkey-faced Eagle flock resided.

On this trip, she reached the inner area of the Yunhua Mountain Range, not too far from here, so she thought of making a visit to collect some 'interest' from the Monkey-faced Eagle flock while also completing the Slaughter Demon Order target for breaking through to the Late Stage of the Golden Core.

The Slaughter Demon Order requires that before reaching the Divinity Transformation, with each minor realm breakthrough, one must slay ten same-stage demons or one demon of at least one small stage higher. Yu Qingtan intended to slaughter a Third Stage late-period Monkey-faced Eagle.

The Monkey-faced Eagle flock possessed seven major Third Stage Heavenly Demons, but four were at the initial Third Stage, two at the mid Third Stage, and only one at the late Third Stage.

The late Third Stage Monkey-faced Eagle was Hou Sairei, the leader of this Monkey-faced Eagle flock.

When Yu Qingtan arrived at the highest Solitary Peak, she found only five Third Stage Heavenly Demon auras, meaning two Third Stage Monkey-faced Eagles were out. However, the strongest aura, belonging to the late Third Stage Hou Sairei, was at home.

Yu Qingtan sneaked over and discovered that Hou Sairei's location was actually the same cave that had once served as the Monkey-faced Eagle flock's treasure trove.

It seemed that Yu Qingtan's last visit had helped clear out the treasure trove a bit, which must have left an impression on Hou Sairei.

Hou Sai Lei was resting with his eyes closed, so Yu Qingtan prepared to use the same trick again, attempting a stealth attack on Hou Sai Lei's behind with the Five Elements Canglan Sword from beneath the ground.

She was starting to fall in love with this move.

However, just as Yu Qingtan drew the Five Elements Canglan Sword and was about to strike,

Hou Sai Lei's eyes shot open, and a protective shield instantly formed around him.

It turned out that Hou Sai Lei suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in his heart, sensing an imminent disaster.

Many higher beings have an instinctual perception of danger, making it harder for them to be taken by surprise and killed by stealth attacks.

Yu Qingtan didn't back down; the Five Elements Canglan Sword thrust forward forcefully, piercing through Hou Sai Lei's protective shield in an instant.

In the nick of time, Hou Sai Lei flapped its wings furiously to avoid the deadly blow, but the Five Elements Canglan Sword still left a bloody hole in its buttocks.

"Squeak~ Who dares to ambush Lord Hou Sai Lei!"

As Hou Sai Lei spoke, it flew out of the cave, since the sky was truly the home field advantage for monkey-faced eagles.

Yu Qingtan simply appeared outright and chased after it using the Five Elements Qiankun Escape, with the Five Elements Canglan Umbrella appearing in her left hand, casting successive strikes of Five Elements Extinction Divine Light at Hou Sai Lei.

She wasn't outmatched; the ambush was just a shortcut to save trouble. Besides, she was worried that dragging it out would draw the attention of nearby Fourth-Grade Demon Kings.

Faced with the power of the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, comparable to the Nascent Soul early stage, Hou Sai Lei felt a chill in its heart, flapping its wings frantically to dodge the attacks.

But its large wingspan, though agile in the sky, made for a big target, and it soon took two hits from the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, causing iron feathers to fall and skin to split open.

"It's you, Yu Qingtan, you've become so strong! I get it now, our treasury must have been robbed by you last time, damn it, damn you!"

Since Yu Qingtan didn't disguise her appearance, Hou Sai Lei recognized her immediately—a despicable human female cultivator.

As senior members of the demon race, they collected important intelligence on humans, so Hou Sai Lei knew that Yu Qingtan, whom their race still sought, had climbed to the top three on both the Pride of the Heavens List and the Hundred Flowers List.

It never expected Yu Qingtan to be so bold as to venture into their lair looking for trouble.

However, at that moment, it could only rage helplessly, while Yu Qingtan simply couldn't be bothered with it.

Then, four other Third-Grade monkey-faced eagles appeared in the sky and, seeing the situation, each launched a soul-crying attack at Yu Qingtan.

The monkey-faced eagles' Innate Divine Ability: the Soul-Crying Technique.

Hou Sai Lei, meanwhile, was busy trying to dodge the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, without even a chance to use the Soul-Crying Technique.

These four Third-Grade monkey-faced eagles also had no good means to defend against the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light. If they got too close, they would simply be easy prey, so they could only support Hou Sai Lei with the Soul-Crying Technique.

Unfortunately for them, their Soul-Crying Technique didn't even warrant the system's father to take action; it was blocked by the top-grade soul-defense artifact, the Crystal White Lotus Lamp, given to her by Qian Yongduo, without affecting Yu Qingtan in the slightest.

Nevertheless, Yu Qingtan decided to settle the battle quickly, as the location was too close to the demon race's domain guarded by a Fourth-Grade Demon King.

Thus, Yu Qingtan spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Five Elements Canglan Umbrella. The Canglan Umbrella, which could usually only shoot fifty beams of Five Elements Extinction Divine Light at a time, now fired a hundred beams in one go.

Barely managing to dodge the incoming attacks, Hou Sai Lei, seeing this, immediately swept away towards the deeper reaches of the Yunhua Mountain Range, deciding to flee, while shouting aloud, "Yu Qingtan, our monkey-faced eagle race is under the protection of the Six-Eared Demon Venerate. Do you dare to harm us and risk the wrath of the Demon Venerate? If you leave now, we can call off the manhunt against you, and henceforth, our paths need not cross again!"
