CHAPTER 186: 130, YAN SHEN BODY, THE THIRD DUPLICATE WORLD (CHAPTER 6K)_2

The Giant Sword Daoist Monarch complied with Xu Xing’s wishes, allowing him to stay on Folding Mountain Island. However, he also took this opportunity to give Xu Xing a self-sealed Divine Thought Avatar. In case of danger, this would serve as a double safeguard.

Yan Shen Art...

I didn’t expect to find such a good thing in Yang Shao’s Storage Bag.

No wonder he was able to reach the 14th Layer Heavenly Gate Array in such a short period, yet ended up so poverty-stricken, without even a decent set of magic clothes. It turns out he spent all his resources on cultivating this technique.

Returning to his Cave Mansion on Folding Mountain Island, Xu Xing finally found the time to sort through his recent gains.

When he saw a cultivation method named "Yan Shen Art" recorded on an ancient jade in Yang Shao’s Storage Bag, he could not contain his joy.

After transforming into an Underground Lord through "resolve with soldiers," he no longer had a subsequent cultivation method for his Yin Soul and could only rely on consuming moon essence to cultivate slowly. This "Yan Shen Art" might solve his pressing problem.

The initial cultivation requires Broken Soul Wood, Void Blue Stone, and Purple Golden Dew...

Just by using these few Spirit Materials, it’s possible to divide the Divine Sense without harming the Yin Soul...

A cultivation method for the Yin Soul that leads directly to the Dao Pill realm.

Xu Xing carefully pondered the cultivation steps of this "Yan Shen Art."

The initial cultivation requires a significant amount of resources.

But once successful, one would attain the Acquired [Yanshen Body] mentioned in the "Yan Shen Art."

Not only is the Acquired Yanshen Body extremely convenient for cultivating Yin Soul methods, but it also awakens a Divine Soul talent—Shocking Spirit Pierce!

The constitution of my physical body can hardly be enhanced further...

But the constitution of a Yin Soul is different from that of a physical body.

Having an additional [Yanshen Body] wouldn’t be bad at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing immediately opened his Cave Mansion and transformed into a streak of Escaping Light, heading towards the Folding Mountain Island Marketplace.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Marketplace, he retracted his Escaping Light and began to walk, heading directly towards a three-tiered Jade Tower.

Use of Magic Power was prohibited within the Immortal Workshop.

A shining golden Plaque hung from this tower.

Flying Feather Pavilion!

He entered.

"Esteemed Immortal... you are... the Island Master?"

The welcoming female attendant was greeting guests entering the pavilion as usual. The moment she recognized Xu Xing’s face, she was taken aback and quickly bowed to Xu Xing with a humble attitude.

Although Xu Xing usually kept a low profile, when he first took charge of Folding Mountain Island, he had executed a few Managers who were lining their own pockets. After these decisive and swift actions, the Managers of the Flying Feather Pavilion had since treated Xu Xing with utmost respect, daring not to show the slightest discourtesy.

"Notify Manager Wei..."

"Gather the Spirit Materials on this Jade Slip for me as soon as possible."

Upon entering the inner room, Xu Xing wasted no words. He casually placed a Jade Slip listing the materials for cultivating the Yan Shen Art on the table, then instructed the female attendant.

The saying goes, ’A kind person is easily bullied, just as a good horse is easily ridden.’

He was the Island Master of Folding Mountain Island and held sovereign authority over it. Initially, he had been too polite to the Managers; they thought he was easy to bully and had feigned compliance while secretly defying him.

As the former Court Eunuch of Fengxi Country, and also an accountant, Xu Xing had seen through these Managers’ embezzlement at a glance.

After announcing their crimes, he showed no mercy, slaying them with a single sword strike.

If he had exhibited a fiery temper upon his arrival, those Managers might not have lost their lives. In the Flying Feather Pavilion, where people constantly came and went, these female attendants and Managers were adept at sizing people up and tailoring their behavior accordingly.

"These Spirit Materials..."

In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, Manager Wei came to Xu Xing’s side. He took the Jade Slip Xu Xing provided, a look of difficulty flashing across his face. "Broken Soul Wood and Purple Golden Dew should be manageable, but Void Blue Stone... Recently, the Flying Feather Pavilion on Mu Sang Island requisitioned a batch. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to find another batch of Void Blue Stone in the Western Sea."

Void Blue Stone was not a precious Spirit Material, just relatively scarce.

"Mu Sang Island?" Xu Xing’s eyebrows rose. Mu Sang Island was precisely where Yang Shao had been stationed. It was quite normal for Yang Shao, who cultivated the Yan Shen Art, to have consumed this batch of Void Blue Stone from the Western Sea.

However, the vast Flying Feather Immortal Palace certainly possessed more than just this small amount of Void Blue Stone.

Although Void Blue Stone was not a precious Spirit Material, the Sect definitely had reserves of it.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing didn’t hesitate. He took out his Purple Ribbon Gold Seal and slapped it onto the wooden table.

"The Purple Ribbon Gold Seal?"

Manager Wei stared blankly for a moment, then quickly picked up the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal and examined it. Seeing its fine and dense texture, neither gold nor silver, but crafted from the Sect’s unique Min Gold Stone, he was immediately convinced of its authenticity.

"Please wait a moment, Xu True Disciple..."

"I shall immediately notify the Flying Feather Pavilion in the Sealed Demon Pan Palace to arrange for a stock transfer."

He carefully held the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal, gingerly returned it to the wooden table, and said in a low voice.

First-class True Disciples enjoyed preferential treatment from the Sect. For ordinary disciples, if Void Blue Stone was out of stock, it was simply out of stock. However, for First-class True Disciples, as long as the Sect still possessed Void Blue Stone, even if it needed to be transferred from the internal stocks of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, it had to be delivered to the True Disciple’s hands at the earliest possible time.

Moreover, during this period, no effort or resources would be spared!

...

...

「One month later.」

Manager Wei and the others delivered all the resources for cultivating the Yan Shen Art to Xu Xing’s residence.

With the resources now in hand, Xu Xing did not delay.

He began to diligently cultivate the Yan Shen Art.

The ancient jade inscribed with the Yan Shen Art was made of an extraordinary material, rarely seen in the Immortal Foundation Realm. Moreover, the script in which the Yan Shen Art was written looked to be of considerable age.

Therefore, Xu Xing was not worried about Yang Shao having forged it.

Given Yang Shao’s financial standing, he simply couldn’t have afforded to create such a forgery. Furthermore, for a normal person, there was no need to go to such lengths to create a forgery merely to posthumously harm someone.

According to this Yan Shen Art...

Ordinary people require at least three years of cultivation to achieve initial success with the Yan Shen Art, yet I... I only took one year?
