SFS Chapter 30 The Legacy of Master You
Chapter 30 The Legacy of Master You
"Senior, I have a feeling that this method... seems to be connected to my destiny."
Li Qingyi spoke in a cryptic and mysterious manner, all in an attempt to win over You Zhenren.
These words were indeed well-received. Upon hearing this, Master You grinned and said, "Oh? Then do you know how people have ridiculed this old man for hundreds of years?"
Why bother with the shallow views of a few worldly, mediocre people?
Li Qingyi straightened his back, a fanatical look on his face, "Once I have mastered this supreme technique, I will surely travel all over the world to vindicate you, senior!"
We must let everyone in this world who has ever looked down upon or mocked the ways of our predecessors know that they were wrong! Utterly wrong!
Hearing this compliment, Master You's heart surged with excitement, and he couldn't hide his joy. "You rascal, you're quite the smooth talker."
He then changed the subject, "Do you know how this method is mastered?"
Li Qingyi frowned at the opportune moment, pretending to be deep in thought, and after a moment slowly shook her head, "This junior is foolish, please enlighten me, senior."
Master You smiled, carefully examining Li Qingyi, and said, word by word:
"You must discard this flesh and blood shell, use yourself as the base material, and draw upon the soul fire to forge it, only then can you... refine that supreme corpse with boundless potential!"
After saying that, he stared intently at Li Qingyi, curious about how this seemingly fanatical young man would react after learning the truth.
However, Li Qingyi's reaction was completely unexpected.
"That would be... perfect!"
A terrifying glint flashed in Li Qingyi's eyes, her expression became almost distorted with fanaticism, and her tone became nearly manic with excitement:
"The mortal body is nothing but a shackle on the path of cultivation. Once it's gone, it's gone! This junior doesn't care!"
"This junior only desires to refine that supreme corpse body and glimpse the true essence of the Great Dao!"
Master You was stunned by his almost frenzied reaction and couldn't help but doubt himself:
"When I was alive... I don't think I was this insane, was I?"
Seeing the hesitation on You Zhenren's face, Li Qingyi thought that her performance was not good enough and had not completely moved the other party, so she immediately decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Senior! Please grant my request! To be honest, since childhood I have felt that this physical body is a burden and an obstacle to my path of cultivation, and I have often thought of abandoning it as soon as possible!"
Now that I have seen this method, it is like rain after a long drought; my heart is filled with longing, and I can hardly contain myself!
Li Qingyi's eyes were full of sincerity, with tears welling up in them.
In that instant, Li Qingyi went through all the sad things she could think of in her past and present lives before her eyes welled up with tears.
He was about to burst out laughing!
Seeing Li Qingyi's sincerity, Master You's last doubts vanished, replaced by an indescribable sense of relief and excitement.
This was the first time in his life that he had met someone who understood him and agreed with his path.
Master You exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Three hundred years...three hundred years! You are the first junior who has brought me such comfort."
He stepped forward and grasped Li Qingyi's hand, "I only regret that I could not have met you in my lifetime!"
However… it’s not too late now. I hope you can help me ensure that the world remembers this secret formula.”
Li Qingyi made a solemn vow, her tone resounding:
"Don't worry, senior! Things change every three hundred years, whether they flow east or west!"
"This junior will surely show those who were blind and mocked their seniors in the past the true, heaven-defying power of this method!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Master You laughed three times, appearing extremely happy.
With a wave of his hand, a dark, ethereal light flowed from his fingertips as he pointed into the air.
Above the stone coffin, an extremely well-hidden array quietly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, the seemingly seamless stone coffin emitted a soft clanging sound from within, and then the coffin walls slid open to the sides, revealing a hidden compartment underneath.
Inside the hidden compartment lay a delicate box and a storage ring.
When Li Qingyi's gaze fell on the cover of the book in the box, she was startled; it was also—
The Supreme Corpse Refining Technique of the Nine Netherworlds
"Good heavens... he even had this trick up his sleeve! How cunning!" He secretly rejoiced that he had pulled off a successful act.
"This..." Li Qingyi showed surprise and confusion at the right moment.
Master You patted Li Qingyi on the shoulder, "What you hold in your hand is the failed work of the first half of my life. This book is the true culmination of my life's work."
Inside the ring are enough materials for you to temper your body twice, as well as a small amount of spirit stones. I don't remember exactly how many spirit stones, but this is all the wealth I have.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyi almost couldn't help but curse. She could only sigh inwardly, "Thank goodness I didn't choose this corpse-refining method in the simulation before last."
His tone grew increasingly somber, tinged with regret, "It's a pity I couldn't take you as my disciple before I died, to witness you carry this path forward..."
"That's enough...that's enough..." He shook his head, his figure seeming to fade even further.
Suddenly, his aura changed, and a wisp of extremely condensed dark light separated from the center of his remnant soul, transforming into a black jade talisman that was neither real nor illusory.
"Boy, listen up!" Master You's voice became extremely serious:
"This is the last thing I can do for you. This 'Netherworld God-Slaying Talisman' seals within it the full power of my attack at its peak! Use with caution!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure rapidly became transparent, flickering between light and shadow.
"Hahahaha..." Before completely dissipating, he let out a burst of laughter that was a mixture of relief, resentment, and anticipation:
"When you achieve your goal, remember... remember to go to the ancestral temple of that sect and find that old scoundrel named Xianmi. Tell him that I, Youhuang, am right! My path is not wrong—!"
Li Qingyi watched Youhuang's figure slowly disappear, her face solemn. She bowed deeply in the direction he vanished, her tone extremely solemn:
"This junior will certainly not fail in my mission."
Since Li Qingyi had accepted such a huge benefit, she would naturally do her best to fulfill the other party's last wish.
The rights and wrongs of the simulation are no longer important at this moment.
At this moment, the aura belonging to Youhuang completely dissipated.
At the same time, the barrier in front of the cave instantly disappeared, revealing the entrance.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yixi and the others immediately rushed into the cave.
……
"Sigh...he really is a man of strong emotions."
Li Qingyi couldn't help but sigh, "If I had said a few more nice words during the simulation before last, I might not have died that time."
He shook his head, seemingly with some regret.
He then carefully put the black jade talisman containing the power of Master You's peak attack into his pocket.
After doing all this, he happily squatted down and picked up the storage ring and the real corpse refining technique from the hidden compartment under the coffin.
He couldn't wait to probe into it with his divine sense, wanting to see just how much wealth this Purple Mansion True Man had left him.
When Li Qingyi saw what was inside, he was dumbfounded.
The ring's space was indeed filled with quite a few things.
They were all materials used to refine corpses, and a forging furnace was also included.
but……
There are only sixteen spirit stones!
"So...poor?!"
He originally thought that even if a Purple Mansion True Person's life savings were meager, they should still have at least a hundred spirit stones.
It's enough for him to simulate many times, and he won't have to worry about spirit stones for a while.
Unexpectedly, reality proved harsh, with only a mere sixteen pieces.
Li Qingyi's current knowledge is not sufficient to accurately determine the specific grades of those rare and precious materials.
Just by feeling the spiritual charm it contains and its extraordinary appearance, one can tell that it is no ordinary item; it is at least a Xuan-rank treasure, and may even contain some Di-rank treasures.
Li Qingyi's lips twitched. "These things are hard to sell..."
He had a premonition that if he dared to put even one of these materials on the market, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Then... it was a standard murder and robbery scenario, and the plot unfolded. With his limited cultivation, he couldn't possibly protect it.
In the cultivation world, spiritual materials are usually divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Of the twenty-four kinds, any one of them could be sold to solve his current financial crisis.
Unfortunately... his strength is now so weak, like a child carrying gold in the market, afraid of being targeted by others.
"Ugh... this is so frustrating..."
Although Li Qingyi had some regrets, the gains from this trip were undeniably substantial, he thought to himself:
These materials are enough to craft two corpse puppets.
According to the book, these corpse puppets are identical to the original body in every way except for lacking intelligence, and they can also be used to ward off disasters and overcome tribulations.
This person is absolutely top-notch talent, perfect for a job!
"Then I can work two jobs and earn two spirit stones all by myself! No, I can work three jobs and earn three spirit stones!"
Li Qingyi became more and more excited as he thought about it, feeling that he would soon have a bright future.
But despite his excitement, he wasn't blinded by this huge gain.
His strong self-control allowed him to quickly calm down and begin to analyze the current situation.
There are still more than twenty people waiting for us to come out, and the number will continue to increase.
The situation is still unclear. I think we have some time, so let's take this opportunity to conduct another simulation to test the waters and prepare a response.
"Deep Blue! Simulate it for me!"
