Within the courtyard.
Zhong Shenxiu ended his seclusion and walked out of the room that had been tightly shut.
Regarding the events that had occurred to him, he still had little clue.
Presumably, even in the archives of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, there should be no record.
Since the internal organs could not be destroyed, how could he continue cultivating to achieve the Primordial Pill?
At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu could only pin his hopes on the Heavenly Show System.
However, if he used the Heavenly Show System to forcibly deduce an upgrade, not to mention the tremendous consumption, the path might be completely different from the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book."
Perhaps he would forge a path strengthening the internal organs, then the subsequent scriptures would be unsustainable.
He couldn’t always rely on Heavenly Show Points to forcefully break through, as the amount needed was simply immense, and Zhong Shenxiu wasn’t confident of obtaining it.
"I’ll have to set this matter aside for now, cultivating in the Divine Power Realm isn’t urgent, I still have nearly three hundred years to live... First, I’ll infiltrate the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, and should gradually find a solution..."
"Indeed, breaking through the Seven-locking Technique is somewhat different, though it doesn’t seem to be anything good..."
Zhong Shenxiu took a deep breath and mobilized the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations Great Divine Power.
In his sea of consciousness, a grade one Divine Power Talisman suddenly transformed, forming a brand-new Divine Power.
Grade two — Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability!
This Divine Power could not only conceal a cultivator’s cultivation level, but also change one’s appearance, most of the Spirit Eye Techniques and Divine Powers would be unable to see through it.
There was a certain possibility of deceiving a Primordial Pill.
"However... if the Primordial Pill Old Monster captures me and uses position suppression on my Divine Power, then everything will still be exposed..."
"But, if it comes to the opponent personally suppressing me and starting to inspect closely, talking about exposure doesn’t hold much significance."
"The most urgent task at the moment is to go to the Black Lotus Sect to find the inheritance of the Substitute Divine Power, improve the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power, and hence leave a way out."
Zhong Shenxiu’s thoughts shifted, and the aura belonging to a Divine Power Practitioner on his body decreased suddenly, returning to that of the loose Gang Sha Cultivator.
Not only that, the Divine Powers and physical Divine Powers within his body were all dispelled, not a trace of aura leaked out.
This is the might of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability!
He thought for a bit, picked up the Beast Taming Ring, and released the Jinmao Hou that had transformed into a big yellow dog.
"Little young master, you finally remembered to let me out..."
The big yellow dog that Jinmao Hou had transformed into came forward, affectionately licking its tongue, and even instinctively learned how to wag its tail.
"Hmm, you just follow me for now."
Zhong Shenxiu let out Jinmao Hou, just wanting to see if this Divine Power Level mystical beast had discovered anything.
Now it seemed that the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Power was truly extraordinary.
Considering deceiving the Primordial Pill, there was also a slight chance.
"Thank you, little young master, then can I go eat people... I haven’t had a taste yet..." the big yellow dog pleaded.
Zhong Shenxiu slapped its head, then thought again: "Forget it... If you come across evil people, then you may eat them..."
"Yay, thank you, little young master."
Jinmao Hou’s eyes shone, wishing the whole world was filled with evil people he could devour.
Zhong Shenxiu, feeling helpless, walked out of the small courtyard only to see a person peering around stealthily.
Upon seeing him leave the courtyard, the person immediately ran off.
’An informant? Well...I suppose it’s okay. Let him become fodder for the golden-furred lion...’
Zhong Shenxiu smirked coldly and went to a tavern on his own, ordering a lavish feast.
As he had just poured himself a glass of wine, he saw someone enter the tavern.
The newcomer, clad in the attire of a Law Enforcement Envoy, quickly approached Shenxiu, a hint of joy visible on his face.
"Xuanyu City’s Law Enforcement Envoy...Lin Xunyi?"
Cultivators have astonishing memory, and Zhong Shenxiu immediately called out the other’s name.
"Mr. Su, we meet again."
Lin Xunyi, beaming, greeted, "When I received the report that Brother Su had entered the city, I wanted to come and meet you, but unfortunately, you were in closed cultivation. So I instructed my informants to wait here, and finally, Brother Su has emerged..."
"Old friends meeting should share a drink."
At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu was acting in his identity as Su Daoshi; as both were officials, they felt a bit closer.
Lin Xunyi sat down and had a drink before sighing, "Recently, Luo State has really not been peaceful... First there was the disturbance from the Black Lotus Sect, and then Law Enforcement Disciples from the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect arrived to exterminate all evil spirits... Even the Cloud Mirror Sect doesn’t dare to stir trouble, announcing the sealing of their sect. In the Loose Cultivation World, it’s quite bleak..."
’Although this man is a Mystic Sky Dao Official, it’s uncertain if he’s an undercover agent from the Black Lotus Sect... It’s possible that my search for Divine Skills might depend on him...’
Zhong Shenxiu navigated the conversation cunningly, appearing to get along well with Lin Xunyi, who repeatedly marveled at the intelligent yellow dog gnawing on a bone at Shenxiu’s feet.
Golden-furred lion signaled a few times that it wanted to devour the man, but Zhong Shenxiu sternly stopped him with a look.
The wine flowed through three rounds when Lin Xunyi sighed again, "Brother Su, do you still remember Xu Shaoling?"
"That man who singly pursued immortality, has he achieved his wish?" Zhong Shenxiu casually asked.
"No, he recently got married."
Lin Xunyi sighed, "Although we have entered the path of cultivation, we know all the more how tough it is. If one does not receive the True Inheritance from the orthodox Xuanmen, but randomly selects a Loose Cultivator’s book to initiate the path, it’s uncertain when one might find no way forward... Even exchanging with the government requires a great deal of merit, which exhausts people... We are all , what about the common folks?"
Despite Zhong Shenxiu’s associations mostly being cultivators, even including disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, for ordinary people, these cultivators were as elusive as immortals.
Not to mention, when disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect travel, they navigate the air on the Supreme Nine Heavens Golden Light Earth-Piercing Mysterious Shuttle.
Even if Xu Shaoling knew and wanted to get close, he would first need to figure out how to reach the sky!
Ten thousand feet above, that’s the realm of Divine Power Practitioners, even Gang Sha Cultivators can hardly touch them.
Thus, those Loose Cultivators also find it difficult to seize the opportunity with the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.
Only recently, with Lan Ying’er and others dispersing to track the traces of the Black Lotus Sect, were there some possibilities, but they were all high and mighty Divine Power Practitioners, discerning in their views, what easily catches their eye?
"Xu Shaoling recognizing his own lack and choosing to give up is quite wise," Zhong Shenxiu just mentioned.
"Haha... Brother Su, you guessed wrong there. After his marriage, Xu Shaoling used his connections to enter the government martial arts and is now cultivating the Ten Directions Beast Skill... Speaking of which, he is under my supervision."
Lin Xunyi shook his head.
"Although the Ten Directions Beast Skill is good, without the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique and the subsequent Daoist Skills, it’s merely a solid foundation..."
Zhong Shenxiu had little to do with Xu Shaoling; after all, it was Xu who owed him a life debt in a past life. Although in the past debtors were superior, such notions did not hold today, and there was no intention of granting him a fortune in immortality.
Lin Xunyi, perceptive to his reactions, realized he held no significant relations with Xu Shaoling and didn’t take it to heart, simply dismissing it.
’Poor Xu Family, they’ve inquired in many directions about this Immortal Master, but now it seems, all they see is a moon reflected in water, a flower in the mirror...’
