35: There is no real pill

Chapter 35: Not a Single Proper Medicinal Pill

By the window.

Bai Lang gazed out the window and sighed.

"Great Chu is about to change."

Hearing the words "change", Li Yunshu's unease grew stronger.

Who is the "heaven" of Great Chu?

The Empress.

So, the Heavenly Demon Sect's ultimate goal is indeed the Empress?

Even with such a guess in his heart, Li Yunshu could not show any abnormality.

"Long live the Holy Sect!"

"Long live the Holy Sect!" Bai Lang turned to look at Li Yunshu. "Let's go, we can head to Wumeng Mountain now."

"You're going to Wumeng Mountain too?"

"There might still be Souls remaining in the Blood Spirit Grand Formation that haven't been sacrificed. Now is a good time to collect them."

As he spoke, a crimson-red Soul Banner appeared in Bai Lang's hand.

Gazing at the magnificent red Soul Banner, Li Yunshu's eyes flickered. He had seen descriptions of this crimson-red Soul Banner in the Town Demon Division's records.

His black Soul Banner was the most common type, and ordinary Artifact Refiners could also refine such Soul Banners.

Therefore, it was not only used by members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but also by some ordinary Cultivators.

However, the black Soul Banner had a limitation: it could not absorb overly powerful spiritual entities.

The crimson-red Soul Banner, on the other hand, was much more powerful than the black Soul Banner; it could even absorb Cursed Spirits into the banner.

Moreover, this type of Soul Banner could only be refined by the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Anyone possessing a crimson-red Soul Banner must be a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After only a month apart, Bai Lang's status in the Heavenly Demon Sect had likely risen.

The two of them took a flying boat and soon arrived at the outskirts of Wumeng Mountain.

At this time, many people were scattered around, gathering.

Curiosity is human nature and will never change.

Of course, they were only observing from the periphery and did not venture deep into Wumeng Mountain.

The Blood Sacrifice Formation and the Blood Spirit Grand Formation made them wary of taking risks, fearing another ambush.

As for the Tianquan Sect, its Sect Protecting Formation had already been activated, as if fearing someone might take the opportunity to attack the Sect.

Li Yunshu looked into Wumeng Mountain, and faintly, figures could be seen moving through the forest.

Most of those were Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples, who, like Bai Lang, came to collect spiritual entities.

Most of the people who died in this scheme were unwilling or harbored deep grievances.

Therefore, there was a high possibility of vengeful spirits, or even evil spirits, appearing.

Of course, if one encountered an evil spirit and lacked sufficient strength, one might fail to collect the spirit and instead be killed.

Bai Lang cupped his hands and then said in a low voice.

"Brother Li, we part ways here."

Li Yunshu nodded.

"Until we meet again."

His main goal was to go to Sun Shichang's Secret Realm, while Bai Lang was collecting spiritual entities.

Li Yunshu put away his flying boat and entered Wumeng Mountain alone.

The forests here had not suffered much damage, but the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, with blood and incomplete corpses visible everywhere on the ground.

He did not take out his Soul Banner but released the White-robed Yin Spirit.

With the White-robed Yin Spirit present, he would first collect the Yin spirits he encountered into the space of the Red-robed Yin spirit, and then later collect them all into his Soul Banner.

Doing this was much faster than him collecting Yin spirits one by one with his Soul Banner.

Spatial cracks appeared in the forest, devouring one Yin spirit after another that emerged.

Since he wanted to use Yin spirits to advance into the Spiritual Abode, he refused no one and collected all the Yin spirits he encountered.

However, Li Yunshu soon saw a familiar figure running towards him in a panic.

"Senior Sister Liu?"

Li Yunshu was very surprised to see Liu Yiyi again.

He had clearly sent a message to his Master's wife that Wumeng Mountain was a trap.

So how could Liu Yiyi, as her Disciple, still enter Wumeng Mountain?

When Liu Yiyi saw Li Yunshu, she was visibly stunned.

She didn't expect them to meet again so soon.

However, in just one day, her situation had undergone a drastic change.

Because, she was now a Yin spirit.

"Stop!"

At this moment, a Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple carrying a Soul Banner chased after Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi looked at the White-robed Yin Spirit standing beside Li Yunshu. She grabbed Li Yunshu's hand, her eyes full of pleading.

"Junior Brother, save me."

If she were alive, how could she fear a mere Golden Core Stage Cultivator?

But now she was just a Yin spirit, no match for a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

What's more, that person also had a Soul Banner, which was specifically designed to counter Yin spirits.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple had already caught up.

Seeing that Li Yunshu didn't have a Soul Banner and was only a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, he didn't take him seriously and pointed at Liu Yiyi, saying.

"Kid, I saw this one first. Be smart and get lost."

Liu Yiyi tightened her grip on Li Yunshu's hand; he was her only lifeline.

If she were to be taken into a Soul Banner by the Demonic Sect, she couldn't even imagine what kind of life she would face in the future.

She was not unaware of the Heavenly Demon Sect's various misdeeds.

Yin spirits taken into a Soul Banner, once branded, became slaves.

The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect would not show any pity for Yin spirits; they would only toy with them wantonly.

When fighting enemies, the Yin spirits within the Soul Banner would also be the first to be used as sacrifices.

Li Yunshu didn't speak, but a spatial crack had already appeared behind the Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple.

"I'm telling you, kid—" The Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple's words were cut short as he was swallowed by the spatial crack.

Liu Yiyi's eyes widened. She didn't understand why a spatial crack had suddenly appeared and directly swallowed the Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple.

She immediately looked around, subconsciously thinking that an Elder from the Sect had arrived.

However, the surroundings were silent.

Her gaze finally fell on Li Yunshu, and she asked in disbelief.

"Was it you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, another spatial crack appeared, throwing out the Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple.

However, he was now a corpse.

Li Yunshu walked forward and put the Soul Banner from the opponent's hand into his storage ring.

After searching carefully for a moment, there was nothing valuable on him, only a Cosmos Sack.

Inside the Cosmos Sack was a pile of bottles and jars. Li Yunshu quickly scanned them: Spring Breeze Powder, Jade Dew Pill, Obedience Pill... not a single proper Medicinal Pill.

Li Yunshu silently put them all into his storage ring. These things, if they fell into other hands, would be a disaster.

Liu Yiyi stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Li Yunshu's back.

In her mind, she recalled what her Master had privately asked her yesterday.

'How about him as your Dao Companion?'

She was very shocked at the time, wondering why her Master would ask such a question.

She actually wanted her to marry a Foundation Establishment Stage... fatty.

Now, she seemed to understand a little.

The man in front of her was not as simple as he appeared.

However, it was too late to say anything now.

Li Yunshu didn't know what Liu Yiyi was thinking and turned to say.

"Senior Sister, please bear with it for a while. I'll take you back to Piao Miao Peak after I'm done."

Liu Yiyi looked again at the White-robed Yin Spirit beside Li Yunshu.

"I... I'm willing to follow you."

Li Yunshu frowned, "What's going on?"
