Chapter 236
Under the night, Li Fei was walking slowly on the road, holding a bag made of clothes in his arms.
In the bag were the ashes of Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao.
Hao Yi finally refined his Dao foundation 【Core of Steel】 into a supernatural ability seed with the Refining Objects supernatural ability, and his own body also turned into ashes.
Then Li Fei cremated the deceased Shangguan Xiao with the fire strength remaining in that mark on the Ghost-Slaying Saber, and finally put the ashes of the two together.
The two couldn't be together when they were alive; after they died, Li Fei didn't want to let them have a moment of separation anymore.
As for the supernatural ability seed Hao Yi left for him, he kept it safe in his arms.
That stone was written very clearly; he had to wait until Li Fei became a Martial Arts Master before he could use this supernatural ability seed, and then he would have a certain chance to obtain Hao Yi's Refining Objects supernatural ability.
Although Hao Yi's Refining Objects supernatural ability can theoretically refine all things, there is an important prerequisite, which is that the things being refined must be controllable.
That is to say, if it doesn't belong to him, it's very hard for him to refine, such as other people's lifespan, other people's Dao foundation.
So the prerequisite for obtaining something like a supernatural ability seed is to have a Martial Arts Master who possesses the Refining Objects supernatural ability, and then find another Martial Arts Master who is willing to cooperate and willing to offer their Dao foundation; only then can a supernatural ability seed be refined.
And such a supernatural ability seed can't guarantee that one can obtain the supernatural ability 100%.
Li Fei estimated that there wouldn't be too many such things; maybe the one in his arms was the only one!
A few dozen minutes later, he combined the 'One Leaf Blinds the Eyes' technique with the Vajra Seal: Precious Vase to hide himself and sneaked into Datong Fucheng silently.
At this time, he used the 'Bone-Shrinking and Tendon-Collecting' method to change his body shape again, and at the same time put on another human skin mask.
Datong Fucheng tonight was no different from any other day.
Those who should work are working, those who should play are playing, those who should sleep are sleeping...
For ordinary commoners, they wouldn't care how many Dao Foundation stage powerhouses died today, or how many Martial Arts Masters died.
Li Fei finally arrived at Baoyun Temple.
He originally thought that this place would be sealed off; after all, Hao Yi's saber was taken from here today, and Hao Yi also went to see Master Yunshen at the end.
But Baoyun Temple tonight was no different from the last time Li Fei came; the lights in the temple were still on, and it was very quiet.
Li Fei didn't disturb anyone and sneaked into the temple silently.
Very quickly, he arrived outside a brightly lit Buddha hall and saw Master Yunshen kneeling in front of the Buddha and reciting scriptures inside the hall.
"Amitabha, Benefactor, coming here in the middle of the night, is there something?"
Before Li Fei could take the initiative to appear, Master Yunshen in the hall suddenly spoke.
He discovered Li Fei first.
This made Li Fei a bit surprised.
This showed that this Master Yunshen's perception ability was very powerful, and his own strength was bound to be not simple.
It was just that for all these years, this master had always lived in seclusion in Baoyun Temple and had never fought with anyone, so his name couldn't be seen on the Wind and Cloud List.
"Master, this junior came here presumptuously, please forgive me, Master."
Li Fei walked out from the shadows, holding the ashes wrapped in clothes, and walked toward the hall in front step by step.
He restored his body shape to normal at the same time, and when Master Yunshen stood up and turned around, he also peeled off the human skin mask on his face.
"Li Fei?"
Master Yunshen was startled, feeling something from Li Fei's demeanor:
"Did something happen to your teacher and teacher's aunt?"
Li Fei walked into the hall, holding the clothes in his hands with both hands, and handed them over.
Master Yunshen's hands trembled slightly; he carefully opened the clothes wrapped together, and then saw the ashes inside.
His body swayed, showing a look of sorrow, and it was a long time before he let out a long breath and put his hands together:
"Amitabha, please restrain your grief, Benefactor."
"Please restrain your grief as well, Master."
Li Fei said to Master Yunshen.
He came here because he knew this person was Hao Yi's friend of many years from the materials he saw at the archives, and he felt it was necessary for him to let the other party know the news of Hao Yi's death as soon as possible.
Master Yunshen closed his eyes in pain:
"It's better that they are gone; your teacher, his life was too hard."
Then he let Li Fei follow him, taking Li Fei through the Buddha hall and arriving at a courtyard behind the main hall.
Master Yunshen took out a white ceramic jar from a room and handed it to Li Fei:
"Use this to hold their ashes."
"Okay."
Li Fei didn't refuse, took the ceramic jar, and carefully poured the ashes into it.
"Why not bury them in Baoyun Temple, and I will recite scriptures for them every day."
Master Yunshen suggested.
Li Fei stood up holding the ceramic jar and looked at Master Yunshen:
"Master, if they were buried here, I'm afraid you wouldn't have peace in the future either."
Xu Jing wasn't dead yet, and Zhang Zongyang's case hadn't been overturned either.
Currently, Shangguan Xiao was still the murderer who killed the government official, and Hao Yi was the criminal who publicly snatched the execution ground.
If such two people were buried in Baoyun Temple, I'm afraid it would bring huge trouble to the entire temple!
So Li Fei refused:
"I'll find a place where they won't be disturbed to bury them. In the future, perhaps I can bring them back to Baoyun Temple and let you recite scriptures for them, Master."
Master Yunshen heard the unfinished meaning in Li Fei's words, looked at him with compassionate eyes, and said softly:
"Child, human power has its limits; your teacher's spirit in heaven definitely also hopes that you can always be safe and sound."
Li Fei didn't say much more, just bowed to Master Yunshen.
Master Yunshen sighed: "There is something that might be useful to you; I will give it to you."
Saying this, he took out a thick book from his arms and handed it to Li Fei:
"This is the unique skill of Baoyun Temple—the Five-Phase Reversal Method."
Li Fei took this book; he heard Hao Yi mention this unique skill today, and the other party had used this unique skill for the past few years to restore all the implants in his body to their initial state, and then started cultivating from scratch.
"This unique skill was originally used for error correction; if there are some mistakes in the growth process of the implants, the Five-Phase Reversal Method can be used to restore them to their state of a few days ago."
Master Yunshen explained, "Your teacher made huge changes and innovations to this unique skill; this book records the new version of the Five-Phase Reversal Method, as well as your teacher's insights."
Hao Yi had sought this unique skill from Master Zhihai of Baoyun Temple back then, and he had promised the other party never to pass on the unique skill.
Many years had passed, Master Zhihai was no longer in this world, and Hao Yi had also improved the Five-Phase Reversal Method to be even more powerful, but he still didn't leave this unique skill directly to Li Fei, but gave it to Yunshen, returning it to Baoyun Temple.
Now, Master Yunshen, as the abbot of Baoyun Temple, passed this unique skill to Li Fei again.
"Thank you, Master."
Li Fei bowed to the other party again.
The reason why there is a saying in the martial arts world that 'if you don't become a Dao Foundation stage before fifty, there is no hope for life' is because implants have an aging period.
And if one uses the Five-Phase Reversal Method improved by Hao Yi, there is a chance to completely ignore the aging period of the implants!
So this unique skill handed to Li Fei by Master Yunshen is of extraordinary significance.
Even if the threshold of this unique skill is very high, and it was customized by Hao Yi for himself and doesn't suit everyone, it is still a peerless secret manual used to treat implant damage to some sects or great forces!
Even without considering anything else, it is also a peerless secret manual used to treat implant damage.
Holding the book in his hand, Li Fei didn't feel a trace of joy in his heart, but instead felt even more sorrowful.
Even though Hao Yi was no longer here, he still left him too many things.
"Child."
When Li Fei intended to leave, Master Yunshen suddenly called him:
"In the future, if you encounter any threshold you can't pass, you can come to find me. You are his only successor; I don't want the last inheritance he left in this world to be broken."
"Yes, thank you, Master, and please take care of yourself, Master."
Li Fei bowed deeply to Master Yunshen and finally left Baoyun Temple.
More than an hour later, he sneaked into the Martial Arts University silently.
Returning to the dormitory first, Li Tianyu was waiting for him in his dormitory.
Seeing Li Fei, Li Tianyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and walked over quickly:
"Xiao Fei, are you alright?"
Li Fei shook his head with some exhaustion:
"I'm fine, you've worked hard today, Sister."
Li Tianyu grabbed him and asked worriedly:
"I didn't work hard, are you really alright? You didn't get injured, did you?"
Li Fei squeezed out a smile with difficulty: "Sister, I'm really fine."
Li Tianyu saw that his state was clearly wrong, but didn't know how to comfort him.
"Sister, I'll help you restore your original appearance."
Li Fei put the bag behind his back and the Ghost-Slaying Saber on the table, then took out a pile of things from the safe in the room, preparing to help Li Tianyu restore her original appearance.
Li Tianyu saw that he didn't want to talk to people at this time, so she didn't ask any more questions, just nodded silently.
More than twenty minutes later, Li Tianyu restored her appearance, and her voice also recovered after taking the medicine.
She returned the token to Li Fei and said softly before leaving:
"Xiao Fei, no matter what happens, I will always be on your side; you are not alone."
Hearing this, Li Fei's heart trembled; he looked into Li Tianyu's eyes and said with a smile:
"I know, Sister, thanks to you today."
Li Tianyu also laughed:
"Good!"
Afterwards, Li Tianyu put on a black robe, her whole body shrouded in it; Li Fei sent her away from the dormitory, confirming all the way that no one was following or peeking.
Half an hour later, Li Fei returned to the dormitory, took the ceramic jar containing Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao's ashes, the Ghost-Slaying Saber, and the token given to him by Shi Caiming, and walked all the way toward the strange beast breeding area.
Relying on the token, he passed through layers of checkpoints smoothly and arrived at the small mountain where Shi Caiming lived.
Tonight, Shi Caiming wasn't drinking, but stood quietly at the cliff with his hands behind his back.
"Principal."
Li Fei walked behind the other party and said softly.
Shi Caiming turned around, looked at the ceramic jar Li Fei was holding, and sighed.
Before Li Fei went up the mountain, he had already perceived Hao Yi's breath from this ceramic jar, so he walked out of his residence in advance to wait for Li Fei.
"He finally walked to this step."
Shi Caiming said gloomily.
He stepped forward to protect Hao Yi more than thirty years ago, but in the end, he still waited for the other party's ashes.
He glanced at the Ghost-Slaying Saber on Li Fei's back, perceiving the saber intent of the 'Heaven and Earth Saber' left by Hao Yi from that fire mark.
"Your teacher's last saber move already had the prototype of a Grandmaster domain; if he had... perhaps there would be one more Martial Arts Saint in this world who entered the Saint realm with saber technique."
Shi Caiming sighed.
"Grandmaster domain..."
Li Fei recalled the 'Heaven and Earth Saber' he saw today; that sea of fire should be the prototype of the Grandmaster domain Shi Caiming mentioned.
From a Martial Arts Master to a Martial Arts Grandmaster, one needs to combine multiple compatible supernatural abilities to form a martial arts domain, also called a Grandmaster domain.
The saber Hao Yi slashed out with his life at the end already had the prototype of a Grandmaster domain, only then could he defeat Xu Jing, who possessed three types of supernatural abilities and was only one step away from breaking through.
Being able to slash such a saber move upon just entering the Martial Arts Master realm, Hao Yi's talent can be imagined.
That was why Shi Caiming sighed for it.
If Hao Yi could have successfully broken through his realm back then, perhaps he would already be a human Martial Arts Saint now!
Li Fei subconsciously clenched his fists, then asked:
"Principal, I want to bury them here with you; is that okay?"
Given the current situation, if he wanted Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao not to be disturbed, Li Fei could only come to find Shi Caiming, this Great Grandmaster who held kindness toward both.
"Yes."
Shi Caiming nodded without hesitation, "As long as I am still here for one day, I guarantee they won't be disturbed."
"Principal, I heard that your body..."
Li Fei looked at the other party's aged appearance and was a bit worried.
Normally, this Great Grandmaster shouldn't look so old.
Shi Caiming smiled: "Don't worry, I have no problem living for another few decades."
"Thank you, Principal."
Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the other party.
Afterwards, he found a place and started digging a hole, and very quickly dug it well.
He put the ceramic jar containing Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao's ashes into it, and then refilled the hole.
Shi Caiming, who had been standing on the side, reached out with one hand, and a huge rock was grabbed by him with strength; subsequently, this huge rock was quickly carved into the style of a tombstone.
Shi Caiming inserted this tombstone into the ground.
Li Fei thought for a while, used his finger as a saber, exerted strength, and wrote on this stone tablet:
"Tomb of my teacher Hao Yi and teacher's aunt Shangguan Xiao."
Although the two weren't officially together when they were alive, Li Fei believed that neither of them would mind him writing like this.
Kneeling in front of their tombstone, Li Fei knocked his head three times heavily.
"What are your plans next?"
After Li Fei stood up, Shi Caiming asked.
Fire seemed to be burning in Li Fei's eyes, and he said coldly:
"Make those who should pay the price, pay the price!"
Shi Caiming shook his head:
"When I became a Martial Arts Master back then, I only felt that the world was so big, where could I not go? Later, I successfully broke through to become a Great Grandmaster and even became the principal of the Martial Arts University, but instead, I could only gain freedom on this small mountain."
As a dignified Martial Arts Great Grandmaster and also the principal of the Martial Arts University, he said he could only gain freedom on this small mountain; Li Fei naturally understood the warning in this.
"Your teacher's actions back then were too extreme; even if he could have successfully broken through his realm back then, he might not have been able to go very far later. I don't want you to follow in his footsteps, and he probably doesn't want that either."
Shi Caiming looked into Li Fei's eyes and said so.
