Chapter 381: Chapter 201: Reunion with an Old Friend, Gathering Yin Poison Technique

This person is indeed Yue Yinrong.

Upon hearing this voice, Wen Jiu suddenly remembered the agreement he had with Yue Yinrong when he first arrived at Wind and Cloud Immortal City.

Yue Yinrong had discovered an Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion with others and decided to determine its ownership through magical combat. At that time, Yue Yinrong offered ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones to ask an unfamiliar cultivator to back her up, which seemed like a desperate move. However, Wen Jiu, being weak then, was not keen on getting involved, so they agreed on a year’s timeframe. In retrospect, that year indeed seemed to be coming to an end.

"Fellow Daoist Han."

Yue Yinrong came over, quite pleased.

Having not seen Han Li return home or heard from him for almost a year, she thought he might have perished. Now, seeing Han Li return as expected, she was indeed very pleased to have another helping hand.

Wen Jiu raised his hand in salute and quietly stepped behind the demon corpse disguised as Han Li. Although Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an couldn’t discern Yue Yinrong’s cultivation level, surely someone who could address Fellow Daoist Han as such must be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an hurriedly stepped aside, the former being quite pleased, while the latter was shocked and apprehensive.

Wen Ya’s pleasure stemmed from Wen Jiu being able to cultivate with someone like Han Li.

Mu Chang’an’s shock and apprehension were from being intimidated by Han Li’s connections. After all, the strongest he had seen before was the Peak Master of Feixian Peak. To him, the Peak Master of Feixian Peak was already an insurmountable mountain, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were legendary Great Cultivators. Yet, all of Senior Han Li’s friends were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Wen Jiu paid no mind to their reactions and controlled the demon corpse to transmit a message to Yue Yinrong, "Fellow Daoist Yue, I hope you have been well."

Yue Yinrong was slightly surprised by Han Li’s formality through message transmission, but she didn’t delve into it, "It’s been a year, and Fellow Daoist Han’s cultivation has progressed significantly. It’s truly commendable."

She was skilled in some probing techniques, not as proficient as those of major sects, but seeing through ordinary Early Stage Foundation Establishment shouldn’t be difficult. Yet when her Divine Sense swept over "Han Li", she felt a slight discomfort, a feeling that only occurred when probing Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Nevertheless, the stronger Han Li was, the happier she would be.

"Congratulations to both of us," Wen Jiu controlled the demon corpse to transmit another message, then proceeded to refuse Yue Yinrong, as ten thousand Spirit Stones were now insignificant to him, "Fellow Daoist Yue, I fear I cannot..."

Halfway through his words, Yue Yinrong suddenly transmitted a message to interrupt him, "Fellow Daoist Han, I have thoroughly investigated that Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion and found it possibly related to the Blood Demon Sect."

At the mention of the Blood Demon Sect, Wen Jiu paused momentarily. If it was only to back up, he had no interest, even if more Spirit Stones were offered. But if it involved the Blood Demon Sect, he had a slight interest since the Celestial Extinction Ruins were related to the Blood Demon Sect, where he gained many benefits, including a Fake Pill Demon Soul.

"On what grounds do you conclude it’s related to the Blood Demon Sect?" Wen Jiu controlled the Blood Demon Undying Bone to inquire through message transmission.

Yue Yinrong did not respond immediately but moved closer, her slender and pale fingers naturally resting on the Blood Demon Undying Bone’s shoulder, speaking softly and without regard to the others present.

"Fellow Daoist Han, why not have a drink with me? We can slowly... talk in detail."

As she finished,

Yue Yinrong was startled.

A chill-inducing corpse aura surged forth, bouncing her fingers away.

"No more words, I bid farewell," Wen Jiu controlled the Blood Demon Undying Bone and turned to leave. When a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator lowers herself and reveals her seductive demeanor, it’s time to be cautious.

Either she is truly hungry, or she intends to devour someone. In conclusion, with no women in the heart, the path is naturally steady.

Yue Yinrong’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise, but it was fleeting. After retracting her previous frivolous demeanor, Yue Yinrong transmitted another message, genuinely sharing with Han Li a secret not to be disclosed to others.

"Because three months ago, I took a Spirit Array Master friend to investigate that Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion. That friend had a special Spirit Insect, called Void Shadow Spirit Insect, which could bypass arrays to explore the cave within.

Initially, nothing unexpected happened when passing through the outermost Tier Two Middle Grade Concealing Spirit Array. Although the Tier Two Middle Grade Trapping Array and Middle Grade Killing Array were triggered afterwards, the Tier Two Void Shadow Spirit Insect was not affected at all.

But as it delved deeper, the Void Shadow Spirit Insect suddenly got eroded by a mass of Demonic Qi, and within just three breaths, it was controlled by that mass of Demonic Qi. Even though the Void Shadow Spirit Insect had a deep bond with that Spirit Array Master, with Divine Sense interlinked, not even Late Stage Foundation Establishment, or even Perfection Cultivators could completely control Void Shadow Soaring in such a short time, but regardless of the impossibility, the link with the Void Shadow Spirit Insect was instantly cut off.

Such terrifying Demonic Qi is rare; we searched extensively for information, even consulting Fang Qian, but found nothing. Eventually, we learned from ancient texts that this kind of Demonic Qi closely resembles one of the three major Demonic Qis of the Blood Demon Sect — the Blood Demon Soul-Stealing Demonic Qi, and only the Blood Demon Soul-Stealing Demonic Qi could instantly control a Tier Two Spirit Insect, turning it into a Demon Puppet."

As Yue Yinrong spoke, her expression became more solemn, yet there was a faint hint of longing and anticipation. After all, related to the Blood Demon Sect represented opportunity. Over a thousand years, numerous cultivators who gained opportunities from the Blood Demon Sect at the Divine Fall Mountain Range have emerged, among them ordinary individuals barely reaching the Foundation Establishment. Among these people, more than thirty managed to go from mediocrity to the Fake Pill Realm through the opportunities given by the Blood Demon Sect.

If fortunate enough to obtain such an opportunity, it’s not just about the Fake Pill, but just advancing to the Mid-stage or Late Stage of Foundation Establishment would make her a major force, sparing herself from a life of insecurity and instability.
