Chapter 34

In the afternoon, the members of the Cang Li tribe temporarily staying in Zao Mei Manor were busy walking back and forth, ready to set off.

In the battle of Burial Xianzhen, nearly a thousand tribesmen died or were injured, and countless coffins from other realms were lost.

Although that group of Buddha-Crossing Thieves had retreated, there were many strange and abnormal aspects to it. This matter was of great importance, and Cang Li had to return to the tribe as soon as possible to report the detailed process to the tribe's elders, while also worrying about further changes.

Because Gao Huan had a "congenital language disorder," he didn't communicate with anyone and boarded the carriage early.

He was very gifted in languages and proficient in four foreign languages, so he was not worried at all about the communication barriers he would face alone, and he was confident that he could learn the language of this world in a short time.

Cang Li and a group of tribal experts walked out of the manor.

Walking alongside him were two mysterious women with tall figures wearing veils.

One of them was actually a pure immortal body, with skin as crystal clear as jade and a cold personality. Since meeting in the Spirit-Passing Mist Realm until now, Cang Li hadn't seen her speak a word.

The other woman was in a red dress, with white bone wind chimes tied around her waist, and had a cheerful personality and was extremely talkative.

They were "lost travelers" who had accidentally entered the Mist Realm, named Seeing Qi Shanshan and Cai Yutong.

It was Cang Li who saved them.

It wasn't that Cang Li hadn't seen stunning beauties with pure immortal bodies, but even among pure immortal body women, there were differences in beauty.

He would never forget the stunning beauty when he first saw Cai Yutong. Being able to encounter such an opportunity to play the hero saving the beauty, although the coffin salvage was dangerous, wasn't it also a case of "blessings and misfortunes are intertwined"?

"We sisters are planning to go to Nine Licheng first. If it's not on the way, we won't trouble the Young Master..."

Before Seeing Qi Shanshan could finish, Cang Li already laughed: "The world is just that coincidental. I am returning to the Cang Li tribe and will also set off for Nine Licheng immediately. More importantly, going to Nine Licheng itself requires passing through the Cang Li tribe, so the two young ladies can visit my tribe first."

"The Young Master not only has an extraordinary and refined heroic posture but also a sense of responsibility for justice, and is also hospitable and sincere to others. This is the first time I have seen such a first-class man."

Seeing Qi Shanshan bowed gracefully and pulled Cai Yutong to board the largest and most luxurious carriage at the front of the team.

When Gao Huan lifted the carriage curtain and looked toward the front of the team, the two women had already boarded.

Cang Li stood upright by the carriage, tidying his clothes. The nervousness he didn't even have when encountering top-tier experts of the Buddha-Crossing Thieves now appeared on him.

"We are about to set off immediately. Where did that girl Li Ling go?" he asked.

An elderly magic martial cultivator behind him said: "The Fourth Young Lady said she had something to do temporarily and told us not to wait for her."

"Something to do? In Yao Guan, what could she have to do?"

Cang Li knew his sister's cultivation attainments and also knew that she had always been very opinionated, so he didn't ask further. He tried his best to appear elegant and warm before boarding the carriage.

……

Li Youyi drove the carriage alone, speeding along the firm dirt road by the river.

The Beast Li tribe salvages coffins several times a year and walks the land route more often than the water route. Therefore, this dirt road was built very wide, with thousand-year-old willows and hundred-year-old giant mulberries planted on both sides.

Through the gaps in the rapidly retreating tree trunks, one could see massive armored warships sailing on the wide water surface of the Suihe. The ships were full of coffins from other realms, and tribesmen of the Cang Li tribe holding knives and weapons were patrolling closely on the deck.

Clearly, Cang Li took a small group of people to express his gratitude to the Beast Li tribe, so he was ahead. The main body of the Cang Li tribe and the coffins from other realms were following by water.

The carriage was slow after all. By the time Li Youyi could see Burial Xianzhen from afar, the sky had already darkened.

The sun set, leaving only the fiery red sunset glow on the horizon.

"Old Zhao said that the wild at night is extremely unsafe; spirits and evil demons will become abnormally active, and one might even encounter fierce insects and curses. It's still at least two or three hundred li to the edge of the Blood Sea, so it's better to stay in Burial Xianzhen for one night."

Li Youyi didn't know the strange legends of Burial Xianzhen and had no awe of it. It was just that too many people died here yesterday, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Having already experienced slaughter and seen the terrifying Soul Sea, even if there were bloodstains everywhere around the market, he was not afraid at all.

All the corpses had been cleaned up.

Only some small animals he had never seen before were shuttling through the grass, licking the blood in the mud.

Arriving at Burial Xianzhen, Li Youyi got off the carriage and led the horse forward.

The sky was even darker, and the sunset glow had turned into cold tones.

Faint mist either slowly slipped out from the mountains or surged up from the roaring Dragon-Slaying Mouth waterfall, making Li Youyi's vision increasingly blurry.

Li Youyi looked back alertly, always feeling that something was following him.

"Am I being paranoid? This place doesn't look like a peaceful place at all. I hope no white bone demons or camel-bell ghosts appear again."

By the dirt road at the entrance of the town, there were many giant stone statues, stretching for several kilometers.

They had huge heads, some weighing tens of thousands of jin, some even hundreds of thousands of jin, all gazing in the same direction.

Li Youyi felt they were somewhat like the giant stone statues on Easter Island on Earth, so he stopped and looked in the direction they were gazing.

In the distance was a towering mountain peak, shaped like a pyramid. Birds circled there, and the clouds were low, appearing exceptionally magnificent and grand in the dark blue night sky.

Not only by the dirt road, but even on the banks of the Suihe in the distance, there were countless giant stone statues.

"Burial Xianzhen... it couldn't really be burying an immortal, could it?"

Li Youyi laughed to himself, leading the carriage into the desolate market washed dark red by blood. Without going deep, he found a courtyard with relatively complete houses and walked straight in.

Before long, a fire was lit in the courtyard.

In the night sky surrounded by mountains, it was like an abrupt lamp.

Li Youyi transferred bags of food from the carriage into the space within the Evil Camel Bell.

Since opening the third spring eye, he had been able to drive the Evil Camel Bell to be larger.

"I don't know if I can summon that three or four-meter-tall camel; I feel it can carry real objects. Inside the bell, who knows, there might be an entire camel caravan..."

"Better wait until my cultivation realm is higher before trying."

After transferring all the food, Li Youyi picked up the Evil Camel Bell and found that its weight hadn't changed significantly, making him realize even more the extraordinary nature of this object.

Being able to master this object, one can imagine that Yu Tuonan must have been a quite remarkable existence while alive. But why wasn't he as famous as Chan Hai Guan Wu?

Sitting by the fire, Li Youyi took out a jar of Jin Wu blood and took a sip.

Suddenly, he realized that his ability to break through so quickly might be entirely due to the Jin Wu blood. The Jin Wu is no ordinary bird; how precious is its blood?

A magic martial cultivator with top-tier talent in this world toils for ten years to open four springs.

Even if Zhao Zhizhuo exaggerated the difficulty, it shouldn't be too outrageous.

He is just a mortal, not a freak-species, let alone a pure immortal body; why is his cultivation speed so fast?

It might be because of the Jin Wu blood!

Li Youyi finally figured everything out and decided that this time when he returned to the bronze warship, he must bring more Jin Wu blood. It would be best to try and see if he could cut off a few dozen jin of Jin Wu meat and Black Dragon meat.

He took out the cultivation classic "Nine Springs Outline" gifted by Cang Li and read it carefully.

The cultivation method for the Gushing Spring Realm is not rare; as long as one has money, it can be bought in many places.

But the preciousness of the "Nine Springs Outline" lies in the fact that it records the unique understandings and insights of many magic martial powerhouses of the Nine Li tribe. Careful study can make it easier for young cultivators to open spring eyes.

Cang Li naturally knew that a mere "Nine Springs Outline" couldn't repay the great favor, so he promised Li Youyi that if he needed it in the future, he could provide him with cultivation methods above the Gushing Spring Realm.

The "Nine Springs Outline" was just a gift between friends, not involving repaying favors or human relationships.

"The Law—internal magic power, leaving the body to transform into Qi."

"Dao, Fruit, and Nirvana are the Law, omnipresent, filling the universe."

……

Li Youyi read and pondered at the same time.

He had learned some of the characters of this world from the Senior Sister, so he could understand thirty or forty percent. He had to combine them with the pictures above to understand, which was even more obscure than reading classical Chinese.

The general meaning of the outline is: Law is the energy of heaven and earth, distributed in everything in the world, but low-realm cultivators cannot see or touch it.

Law is like water in the soil.

Cultivators use breathing methods to draw the "Law" to their side, and then open spring eyes in their bodies, allowing the "Law" to pour into their bodies from the spring eyes, becoming power to transform the flesh and be used for themselves.

The stronger the breathing method, the more "Law" is drawn to one's side at the same realm. During intense consumption, the persistence is stronger, and one can even fight for a whole day without exhausting magic power.

The more spring eyes opened, the more the flesh can be transformed to be tougher, and naturally, more magic power can be mobilized.

"The Jade Void Breathing Method should be very strong; even on that night when I was chased by the Thousand-Headed Dragon Vine, it was only physical exhaustion, and the Law was not exhausted."

Li Youyi thought to himself, skipped the breathing method recorded in the "Nine Springs Outline," and looked directly at the trace vein guide map behind it.

On the guide map page, the left page is for men, and the right page is for women.

On the portraits of men and women, there are dense fine lines, white, red, silver, and gold, all extending from the nine major acupuncture points of the human body.

"The color and number of trace veins in everyone's body are different?"

Li Youyi felt that he didn't seem to need any trace vein guide map; every time after opening a spring eye, he would just grope around a bit, and a dozen silver trace veins would be born automatically.

How could it be so troublesome?

He was more interested in the nine spring eyes mentioned in the "Nine Springs Outline" and wanted to know where they were located and how to open them.

The three spring eyes he had opened so far were all successful by accident, with no rules at all.

If it weren't for the help of precious medicines like Jin Wu blood, with his mediocre mortal talent, being able to open one spring now would already be a blessing from heaven.
