Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"Shopkeeper?"

Chen Qiu's brows furrowed slightly as he strode forward, taking out several Healing Pills from his embrace and placing them into the shopkeeper's mouth. After the shopkeeper's complexion improved slightly, Chen Qiu asked in confusion, "Was it my Little Wolf that injured you?"

There were no outsiders in the Chao Tian Sect, and currently, there was only one shopkeeper.

He usually let Little Wolf roam free in the back mountain.

Could it be that Little Wolf injured the shopkeeper?

"No."

The shopkeeper struggled to sit up and shook his head, his face flashing with a hint of guilt and embarrassment as he hoarsely said, "My apologies for making a joke of myself, young master. No one injured me. It's just that the Storage Ring you sent last time, its seal is quite complex."

"I've exhausted all my energy and applied all my life's learning to its utmost, but I've only just managed to decipher one percent of this seal."

"By that estimate."

"To break this Storage Ring seal, at the fastest nonstop pace without sleep or food, it would still take four hundred days."

"And that's if everything goes well, but seals often get more difficult the deeper you go, so I estimate it would probably take three to five years of work, and in the worst case, I might not be able to open it in this lifetime."

"Is it that difficult?"

A look of incomprehension flashed through Chen Qiu's eyes; he remembered that whether it was the Golden Core Storage Ring or the Evil Clan Storage Ring, this shopkeeper always managed to break them quickly. And yet, the seal on this Storage Ring that he had picked up from Little Wolf's mouth was so complex?

"Extremely difficult."

The shopkeeper nodded his head heavily with admiration and weakness, saying, "I don't know where you found this Storage Ring, young master, but I can be sure of one thing, the person skilled in seals is far superior to me, and the gap might even be hundreds of times greater."

"If I had the opportunity to take this person as my master, it would be the greatest fortune of my life."

"I've disappointed you, young master."

"It's alright."

Chen Qiu shook his head, "I'm not in a hurry. Since it will take at least three to five years, then let us spend that time. Whenever it's decrypted is fine, there's no rush. Take care of your health."

"Thank you for your concern, young master."

The shopkeeper's complexion had already improved a lot, "I have a premonition that once I break the seal on this Storage Ring, my proficiency in seals will greatly advance!"

"Hmm, alright, take it slow."

After instructing him to take care of his health, Chen Qiu did not linger any longer and immediately left the small world. He then sat cross-legged on the bedstead, ready to continue his Cultivation.

But just then—

A hoarse and panicked voice suddenly came from the Sound Transmission Ring on his index finger, "Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, save my life!!!"
Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

It was Liu Zide's voice.

Without hesitation, Chen Qiu contacted the scholar who was cultivating in the next room through the Sound Transmission Ring, and a few others, and immediately turned into a streak of light towards Liu Zide's direction.

Liu Zide had been dispatched to purchase large amounts of Evil Wood.

Who knew what danger had befallen him.

Could it be that he had attracted someone's envy?

In almost a few dozen breaths, Chen Qiu arrived where Liu Zide was located.

...

In the wilderness a hundred miles outside of Fei City, the area was devoid of any people, no official roads, no villages, no passersby.

Not even a demon beast could be seen.

It was in such a desolate wilderness that a two-zhang-wide hole emerged on the ground, from where boundless resentful energy surged out without end, and countless Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Cultivation resentful spirits continuously poured out of the hole.

The piercing wails of the resentful spirits echoed throughout the land.

The resentful energy, almost tangible, made the surroundings even colder, as if it could freeze one's blood completely solid.

Above the hole.

Wang Family's Master Liu Zide, at this moment, was frantically setting off Self-Destruction Terms in fear and panic, each time unleashing a full-strength attack of the fifth layer of the Golden Core, manically striking the hole. Each blow killed a large number of resentful spirits.

But the number of Self-Destruction Terms that could be unleashed was, after all, limited.

If he did not arrive, Master Wang would not last long without further terms, and by then, countless resentful spirits would rush out from the depths below the hole, completely engulfing Liu Zide and Master Wang.

With so many resentful spirits, the two of them had no chance of surviving.

Seeing Chen Qiu arrive,

Master Wang burst into excited shouts, "Brother Qiu, save me!!!"

"Move aside."

Chen Qiu frowned slightly and waved his hand. Hundreds of Thunder Dragons roared past, and as Thunder Lord's executive power had a restraining effect on these resentful spirits, the hundreds of Thunder Dragons completely blocked the hole. All the resentful spirits that struck the Thunder Dragons turned immediately into wisps of blue smoke.

Afterwards, he gestured for Master Wang to step back as he floated above the hole, leveraging the power of the Heavenly Dao Saint so that none of the endless torrent of resentful spirits from below could reach him. Before getting close to him, they turned into blue smoke and dissipated into the air.

Hovering above the hole, Chen Qiu looked at Liu Zide and the others and spoke softly, "What happened? Did you dig up a gateway to the underworld?"

Legend had it that after death, souls would transform into spirits and head to the underworld. Those who committed many misdeeds in life would become resentful spirits, endlessly tormented day and night in the hells of the underworld. And the ghosts in the infernal regions were often extremely bloodthirsty and vicious.

"I..." Master Wang still hadn't regained his composure, standing in place with his legs trembling uncontrollably: "I..."

Liu Zide patted the somewhat stammering Master Wang on the shoulder, signaling him to step back, then stepped forward, his face slightly pale as he began, "Brother Qiu, I'll explain. I've been dealing a lot with Evil Wood recently."

"Evil Wood grows in places with an aura of malevolence, and so-called places with an aura of malevolence are where a large number of people have died."
