Chapter 53: Boundary Suppression

  Just then, a long whistle came from afar, the sound shook the earth, and a light shadow came from far to near, rushing like wind and lightning.

  This figure, in an instant, rushed into the Rouge Building, stopped at the Moon-Watching Pavilion, and Yu Zecheng suddenly felt his eyes blur. A person was standing there, about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, temples like knives, wind and frost proud bones, solitary and unmatched, obviously a master.

  He drank and said:

  "Who took my spiritual mouse? Who killed my disciple? Who destroyed my medicine garden?"

  His voice was filled with a deep-seated hatred, and an aura of intimidation emanated from him, causing Yu Ze to freeze in place.

  The stone official beside him didn't even look at him, and merely frowned, saying:

  "Don't you know the rules? In Shānzhú City, not only do they wield swords as they walk, but also shout loudly. This is merely a First Heaven's Peak cultivation. Is this where you show off your grandeur?"

  With a casual slap, the man was shocked, and Stone Taishi continuously displayed his magical powers, wanting to resist, but with a "bang" sound, he was knocked to the ground, and a huge palm print appeared on his face. He was knocked to the ground, wanting to get up, but under Stone Taishi's overwhelming aura, he couldn't move at all.

  Yu then immediately returned to normal, his mouth agape in shock, speechless. Such an awesome character was treated like a child in front of Shi Daifu. This is the power of the difference in realm, self-cultivating at the high-level third layer of the Qi Refining stage, under the pressure of the opponent's innate peak realm tenth layer Qi Refining stage, unable to move, let alone engage in hand-to-hand combat. But similarly, he was also unable to move under the pressure of Shi Daifu's foundation-building fusion period.

  Shi Daifu bowed his head towards Yaxiang and said:

  "Making a fool of myself in front of the fairy, this kind of loose cultivator doesn't understand anything, doesn't know any rules, looks down on everyone, it's really embarrassing."

  Yaxiang smiled and said:

  "Scattered cultivation is indeed scattered cultivation, no one leads the way, and yet he can't see that Shi Lao has already established a foundation and merged with the Great Completion Realm, surpassing him by countless levels. This slap was well-deserved, huh? No, wait..."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and instantly grasped the person in mid-air. The Qiankun bag flew out of his body. This single action was enough to show that Yaxiang was even more formidable than Shidafu, able to break through Shidafu's pressure and retrieve the Qiankun bag from his body.

  She opened her pouch and rummaged through it, saying:

  "Haha, as expected. This person's bone age is already 72, but he looks so young. He hasn't reached the foundation building stage, it's impossible for him to be in a state of physical transformation. Indeed, he relies on beauty pills to maintain his appearance. Haha, I've actually found ten beauty pills, I'm too excited!"

  After finishing speaking, she threw the Qiankun bag at this person again and said:

  "Considering this beauty pill, I'll let you off this time. Remember to behave from now on and don't set foot in Shanzhu City again. Scram!"

  The man was finally able to struggle to his feet, looked at the three of them with a glance, and said with a clenched fist:

  "I will surely repay the great kindness of these three in the future."

  Shi Dafu's face sank, and the flying sword hovering in front of him trembled. The man finished speaking and clapped his hand, and a flying sword appeared, a black wooden sword one foot three inches long, with no edge, then he rode the sword and rose, leaving this place instantly.

  Yaxiang smiled and said:

  "Shi Lao is old and has reached a point where it's just a small generation left, his chance to lay the foundation in this life is already slim."

  Shi Dafu said:

  "This is my territory, and this person actually has some connection with me. His father was once a medicine boy when I was cultivating, and this little guy was taken away by a passing loose cultivator when he was young. He only came back twenty years ago, and as a person, he's still quite honest, not causing much trouble, just practicing alone. Seeing that he had no hope of building his foundation, I let him fend for himself and didn't bother with him. Who knew he would produce such an evil creature? If it weren't for the fact that his family has been gathering medicine for my clan for generations, I would have eliminated him by now."

  Li Ye Bai was born into a family of medicine gatherers, and his ancestors were all disciples of the Shi family's medicine gathering sect. He had a natural divine ability, being proficient in mouse language, and could command mice. At the age of eight, he was discovered by a passing loose cultivator who took him as a disciple and brought him away.

  Rather than calling him a disciple, it would be better to say he was a servant. His master had caught a precious spirit mouse for him, and relying on Li Ye Bai's divine ability to understand the language of mice, he had tamed this spirit mouse, using it to gather spiritual medicine and search for spiritual stones.

  Li Ye Bai followed his master for thirty years, but later his master was killed by a high-ranking member of the Ice Snow Palace during a conflict. Many disciples scattered in all directions, each fleeing for their lives.

  Li Ye Bai drifted on the rivers and lakes for over a decade, finally giving up his hopes of establishing himself, he returned to his hometown to live out his days. His family members had all passed away, so he chose a spiritual mountain, opened up a medicinal garden, and planted medicinal herbs.

  He returned but did not go to the Shi family's residence. Firstly, no one told him about the rules of cultivation here. Secondly, to be honest, he still had a bit of arrogance, looking down on the Shi family, thinking they were just a Jianghu family, and that as a cultivator himself, the Shi family was not worthy of his visit. In addition, his personality was relatively stable, somewhat introverted, not causing trouble or making a fuss, only liking to close the door and cultivate at home, so he had no contact with Shi Dafu and other local cultivators.

  He returned to this place, and some distant relatives were still doing things in the Medicine Gathering Sect. Naturally, they gave some help to their relatives. The current leader of the Medicine Gathering Sect took advantage of this to pull him into a relationship. The leader of the Medicine Gathering Sect thought he had found a powerful backer and had ambitions, fantasizing about dominating the underworld of Tang Country. In fact, all of this was because the old leader of the Medicine Gathering Sect died suddenly, and many things were unknown to his successor, which is why it turned out like this.

  So after taking over the Medicine Gathering Guild, he collected a large amount of Ling Stones to exchange for talismans in his place, wanting to use this to dominate the Tang Country. Li Ye Bai took advantage of the Medicine Gathering Guild's inability to distinguish between low-grade Ling Stones, hiding all the mid-grade Ling Stones they had collected and using trash Ling Stones to make talismans, profiting from the difference in price.

  This time when I went up the mountain to pick herbs, I suddenly received an alarm. When I came back, I saw that my disciple had died miserably and the medicine garden was destroyed. Instantly, I became furious and relied on the spiritual mouse to find the medicinal materials taken by the enemy to avenge myself. As a result, not only did I fail to avenge my great hatred, but I also lost the spiritual mouse and the beauty-preserving pill, which is equivalent to losing both wife and soldiers.

  Shi Daifu chatted with Yaxiang for a few more sentences, then bowed and left, disappearing into the shadows. Yu Ze Cheng couldn't calm down for a long time after seeing what had just happened.

  Yaxiang said:

  "Alright, Xiao Yuzi, I've helped you as much as I can. From now on, it's up to you. Remember, if you encounter another strong enemy in the future, don't think about relying on me to get through it. If this happens again, I won't bother with you. Cultivating immortality is all about relying on oneself."

  Yaxiang saw through Yu Zecheng's trick in an instant, and said that Yu Zecheng's face turned red. Yu Zecheng hastily took out the four medium-grade spirit stones from the Qiankun bag and said:

  "Thank you, Yaxiang sister, for saving my life. This is a small token of my appreciation. If you don't accept it, I'll knock my head against the ground until it bleeds."

  Yaxiang smiled and took over the four spiritual stones with a stretch of her hand, saying:

  "Ling stones are never too many for cultivators, so I'll take it. However, that Li Ye Bai was severely injured by Shi Daifu's intimidation and his strength will be greatly reduced within a month. This is your only chance, after this month, I suggest you never leave Shanzhu City again, or run as far as you can."

  Yu Ze Cheng nodded in understanding. The seal then disappeared and everything returned to normal. Yu Ze Cheng left the Vermilion Bird Building and headed back to his base.

  Yu Ze Cheng returned to the base and put the fire symbol on the roof to absorb sunlight and replenish his fire energy. Liu Shi Yun saw Yu Ze Cheng return and prepared wine and dishes for him, helped him change clothes and started washing, it can be said that now Yu Ze Cheng's life is all taken care of by Liu Shi Yun. During this time, Yu Ze Cheng found a job for Liu Xiao Guang as a manager in the Huāzhī Lóu, and continued to take care of the Liu family. For Yu Ze Cheng, Liu Shi Yun was grateful and had another unspoken affection.

  Yu Ze Cheng didn't have the mind to flirt with flowers and provoke grass, he is now diligently researching countermeasures, only having one month's time, must think of a way to kill this Li Ye Bai, already having formed a deep grudge, it's either you die or I live.

  Li Ye Bai was injured, but the other party had a congenital peak boundary and a flying sword. What did he have? Only a fire talisman. The strength was not proportional at all. How could this be good? He must borrow power and seek help from the Black Tiger Hall. Yes, say that the intention of helping to collect medicine is sinister, colluding with cultivators, let the Black Tiger Hall send people and resources. Since last time Ma Laohei could invite out Bai Hezi, then this time he would definitely be able to invite a master too.

  Thinking of this, Yu Ze immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it over to Gao Feng along with the found account book, asking him to rush it to Tang's place with great urgency.

  The letter was finished, and Yu Zecheng thought to himself that he still had two Qiankun bags that hadn't been opened yet. It just so happened that the seal was now broken, so he might as well take a look and see if there were any good things inside for the two of them.

  Yu Zecheng sat down, took out the two Qiankun bags he had obtained, used his blood energy to activate the seal, and began to grind away at the forbidden true yuan on the opening of the Qiankun bag.

  After using a whole night's time, all the seals on the two Qiankun bags were completely worn out by the blood energy, and Yu Ze was overjoyed.

  In the Qiankun bag of Lingquan, Yu Zecheng found a middle-grade spirit stone, thirteen low-grade spirit stones, some miscellaneous items, several sets of Taoist robes, five fine steel swords, some elixirs, and four jade slips.

  These four jade slips Yu Ze then became input divine consciousness, instantly discovering what they were. One was Entwining Immortal Technique, one was Colossal Tree Strike, one was Object Manipulation Immortal Technique, and one was Fireball Technique.

  In Han Yang's Qian Kun bag, there were eighteen well-made talismans and a set of four treasures for making talismans. Three stacks of talisman paper could be seen, indicating that Han Yang was already able to make his own talismans. Two middle-grade spirit stones and twenty-two low-grade spirit stones were also found on him, which was much more affluent than the Spirit Spring. Apart from these, he didn't have a jade bamboo slip, but instead had two notebooks.

  It seems that the spiritual spring and himself are equal, only then can he reach the realm of cultivating spells, so there are these spell bamboo slips in the Qiankun bag. Han Yang has already cultivated to a great extent, so there is no bamboo slip for any spell.

  Yu Ze Cheng flipped through Han Yang's notes and found two things: one was the refining secrets of thirteen kinds of elixirs, including Baoyan Dan, and the other was a detailed explanation of the Yimutu Great Array. These notes were all made by Han Yang himself, and should be entirely based on his own learning from his master Li Ye Bai's craftsmanship, accumulated bit by bit through recording.

  The method of refining thirteen kinds of Dan medicine, among which four are recorded in the Floating Tower Record, are extremely simple Dan medicines. Five cold Yang records only record their experiences, and some processes are not recorded. According to the records, it is completely impossible to refine them. However, the refining method of Baoyan Dan is indeed complete and flawless. Thinking of Yaxiang's attitude towards Baoyan Dan, Yu Ze Cheng couldn't help but feel a tremble in his heart, and he hastily opened the Floating Tower Record to see if there was any record of Baoyan Dan, but he couldn't find it anywhere. It can be seen that this is not an ordinary Dan medicine, but a high-grade spiritual medicine.

  The records of the Yī Mù Dà Zhèn are also very complete, including how to set up, how to summon spirits, how to use it, and its effects. Hán Yáng recorded all his experiences and insights, allowing Yú Zé Chéng to set up a Yī Mù Dà Zhèn on his own.

  In the words of Xin De, Yu Zhen felt a chill and wanted to leave his master, return home, and revive his family's fortunes. Unfortunately, everything ended in an instant, all turned to ashes with just one slash. The path of cultivation is extremely treacherous, like walking on thin ice, if you're not careful, you'll die and your soul will be destroyed, everything becomes a dream.
