82: Sorry, I like men.

When the three of them opened the Immortal Cave and discovered the ancient texts left by the Soul Transformation Stage Expert...

Su Ling heard everything.

A High Grade Thunder-element Cultivation Technique that goes all the way to the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage!

This sentence made Su Ling's heart pound.

Just as he was considering how to acquire it, the three people inside the Immortal Cave suddenly started fighting among themselves.

The information revealed in their words left Su Ling speechless.

Turns out none of these three were good people!

The Goatee old man slept with his female Disciple.

The female Disciple and the male Disciple were secretly having an affair.

A classic love triangle.

Or perhaps, the 'green tea' girl was playing both ends?

For a moment, Su Ling enjoyed the drama immensely.

But when that old man was cornered, he actually wanted to destroy the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip!

How could that be allowed?!

Azure Heaven Thunder Treasure Talisman, just by its name, it's a top-tier Cultivation Technique.

What's more, it's a Thunder-element Cultivation Technique!

It matched Su Ling's Spiritual Root attribute. The moment he heard the name, he had already decided to claim it.

How could he let this old man destroy it?

Without further hesitation, the scarlet gold bow combined with a Ghost Soul Arrow, a single shot to the soul!

In his current state, Goatee couldn't withstand this arrow at all.

He was instantly killed by the Ghost Soul Arrow!

The sudden scene made Chen Feng and Little Lotus's movements abruptly halt, and they looked at the passage entrance in shock.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Light footsteps sounded, and Su Ling, clad in a water-patterned green robe, holding the scarlet gold bow, with a Profound Ice Shield floating above his shoulder, gradually came into their sight.

"Which Fellow Daoist dares to ambush my master?!"

Feeling the opponent's Peak Foundation Establishment aura, Chen Feng's heart slightly relaxed, and he shouted sternly.

Little Lotus, on the other hand, reacted faster, flashing over to grab the Jade Slip from the fallen Goatee's hand.

"Whoosh!"

A magical power arrow flashed past, piercing directly through her palm.

Little Lotus screamed and retreated repeatedly.

"Fellow Daoist, don't move around!"

Su Ling drew his bow and nocked an arrow, another magical power arrow appearing.

"You dare!"

Feeling Su Ling's Peak Foundation Establishment strength, Chen Feng's heart was set, and he controlled a High Grade Flying Sword to strike at Su Ling.

At the same time, he threw out two Talismans, which transformed into Wind Blades that shot forth.

Little Lotus also endured the severe pain, scattering highly poisonous flying needles, and subtly flicked out some powder from her bleeding fingers.

However, the duo's small actions were all clearly observed by Su Ling's Divine Sense.

As he transformed into a phantom, three ice crow talismans shot out, and Su Ling smiled faintly, "Talismans? I'm not short on them."

The next moment, with ice flames burning all over him, he appeared beside Goatee and retrieved the Jade Slip into his hand.

[Azure Heaven Thunder Treasure Talisman, top-grade Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique, capable of condensing Azure Sky Wood Thunder, Heavenly Gang Evil-Breaking Thunder, Azure Sky Nirvana Thunder, with Appendix Startling Thunder Sword Art, Azure Sky Thunder Finger, Azure Sky Thunder Escape, Azure Sky Thunder Domain and other Spells.]

Feeling that the Jade Slip was safe, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing was secondary; seizing the treasure was the priority.

Now with the Jade Slip in hand, Su Ling no longer needed to worry about the two of them acting desperately like Goatee.

On the other side, the ice crows shattered by the Magical Artifacts turned into a sky full of ice flames covering the entire area.

Little Lotus was fine with her top-grade bronze mirror Magical Artifact, but Chen Feng's High Grade shield Magical Artifact's spiritual light rapidly dimmed under the scorching ice flames.

The Profound Ice Shield and Golden Light Sword protected him, deflecting both the Flying Sword and the poisonous needles.

Even the Spirit Transformation Powder was burned to nothingness by the ice flames covering Su Ling's body.

Su Ling didn't waste words, drawing his bow and nocking a ghost soul arrow, aiming directly for Little Lotus, who had the weakest cultivation.

As danger approached, Little Lotus pulled Chen Feng in front of her.

In Chen Feng's horrified gaze, the ghost soul arrow shot directly into his glabella.

The violent Divine Soul power instantly destroyed his Divine Soul.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life!"

"This concubine is willing to swear a Blood Oath and be at Fellow Daoist's command!"

Seeing Su Ling draw the bowstring again, Little Lotus quickly knelt on the ground.

Exposing a large expanse of white chest, she pleaded in a submissive manner.

Su Ling glanced at her with interest, then said with a hint of mischief, "Sorry, I like men."

In Little Lotus's stunned gaze, the ghost soul arrow flashed past.

Confirming that both were dead, Su Ling casually put away their Storage Pouches and Magic Treasures, then glanced at Little Lotus's revealing attire, shaking his head in disdain, "Just this, and you want to tempt me? Do you know what a top-tier succubus is?"

Turning to look at Goatee's corpse and the skeleton, Su Ling once again drew his scarlet gold bow, and two ghost soul arrows shot directly into their bodies.

A moment later, both remained unresponsive.

Only then did Su Ling stride forward, collecting Goatee's storage bracelet and Magic Treasures, and gazing at the inscriptions on the stone platform.

"Haoyang Sect, Pei Jianbai..."

A Soul Transformation Stage Expert had silently passed away here.

Taking off the ring, Su Ling stood before the withered bones and said faintly, "Since I have taken Senior's legacy, if I have leisure in the future, this Junior will surely return Senior to his sect."

With that, Su Ling bowed to the withered bones.

The Haoyang Sect is one of the seven major sects in the Canglang Plane.

It is tens of millions of miles away from Thousand Star Island.

The spheres of influence of Bitao Sect, Yangquan Faction, and Haoyang Sect are precisely neighboring.

It's just that the area where Bitao Sect and Haoyang Sect border is in another direction.

On the cuff of the white robe on the withered bones, a blazing sun was embroidered.

This was the exclusive symbol of the Haoyang Sect.

Su Ling thought for a moment and did not remove this high-grade magic treasure called the [Haoyang Righteous Qi Robe].

Instead, he put it into his storage bracelet along with the withered bones.

If this Magic Treasure wasn't re-refined, who knew whether exposing the blazing sun symbol would bring fortune or disaster.

The Soul Transformation Restriction on the Storage Ring was still there, so it definitely couldn't be opened in a short time.

The Immortal Cave also had a Pill Refining Room, an Artifact Refining Room, and a Spiritual Field.

Clearly, Pei Jianbai did not open this Immortal Cave only when he was about to pass away.

Su Ling couldn't trace the specific reason and was too lazy to care. His Divine Sense swept through the Immortal Cave, and he couldn't help but show joy, heading directly to the Pill Refining Room.

In the spacious Pill Refining Room, an ancient bronze Pill Furnace stood in the center.

[azure cloud danxia furnace, high-grade magic treasure, primarily for Alchemy. When refining Medicinal Pills of Tier 5 and below, it can increase the success rate by 20% to 40%.]

"What a treasure!"

Su Ling laughed heartily, striking a Spell onto the azure cloud danxia furnace.

The man-sized Danxia Furnace spun around, transforming into a fist-sized Pill Furnace that landed in Su Ling's palm.

Pei Jianbai had already passed away, and the soul imprint within this azure cloud danxia furnace had long since vanished.

Su Ling only needed to re-refine it to use it.

Putting away the Danxia Furnace, he turned and went to the Spiritual Field, where a patch of withered Spirit Medicine came into view.

Of the hundreds of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, only about ten still showed some vitality.

[Falling Blossom Grass, Tier 4 Spiritual Plant, can strengthen muscles and bones, enhancing physique.]

[Bone Cleansing Flower, Tier 4 Spiritual Plant, can cleanse bones, enhancing physique.]

[jade bone blood ginseng, Tier 4 Spiritual Plant, can cleanse meridians and marrow, enhancing physique.]

[Dragon Blood Orchid, Tier 5 Spiritual Plant, can promote Bloodline purification, enhancing physique.]

"Why are all these Spiritual Plants for enhancing physique? Could this Pei Jianbai have been a Body Refining Soul Transformation cultivator?"

Su Ling pondered for a moment, then used a Spell to condense clear water, crushed several rejuvenation pills into it, and sprinkled it over the Spiritual Field.

He also placed a large pile of Spirit Stones at the formation core in the center of the Spiritual Field.

Before long, the entire Spiritual Field began to emit wisps of Spiritual Qi, gradually forming a spiritual mist that nourished the dozen or so Spiritual Plants.

Returning to the main hall, Su Ling frowned at the three corpses whose Divine Souls had been extinguished.

Analyzing Chen Feng's actions and the skeleton in the valley, it seems.

This Immortal Cave was likely discovered by Chen Feng by chance, and probably no one else knew about it.

If Pei Jianbai could have notified his fellow Disciples before his demise, he wouldn't have needed to engrave those last words on the stone platform.

In short, this Immortal Cave is most likely safe.

With the Low Grade flying Magical Artifact, the cloud sparrow boat, and the Azure Heaven Thunder Treasure Talisman that leads directly to the Peak Soul Transformation Stage.

Su Ling decided to stay temporarily and thoroughly study this Cultivation Technique.

He then took the three corpses outside the Immortal Cave and incinerated them into dust with ice flames.

As for the two formations outside the Immortal Cave, Su Ling only dismantled the Nine Palace Thunder Formation, keeping the Illusory Mist Five Elements Array to continue concealing the entrance.
