A period of ti passed.
Amidst endless white light and bombardnt, the entire ground shook violently, as if a minor earthquake had occurred, revealing a network of fine cracks.
Finally!
With a loud boom, the entire ground was overturned, revealing a massive and heavy bronze gate. Then, under the press of Daoist Master Xuan’s palm, the whole bronze gate trembled violently and finally began to open slowly.
In an instant, an ancient and distant aura of ti began to swiftly erge from this bronze gate.
"It’s open."
Jiang Shi’s eyes flickered.
Swoosh!
Daoist Master Xuan’s breath was chaotic. He finally landed slowly in front of Jiang Shi, gasping for air. The white light on his body beca blurry again, flickering uncertainly.
"It’s open, we can directly enter now."
Daoist Master Xuan said, panting.
Jiang Shi nodded lightly, but he did not enter imdiately. Instead, he squinted his eyes slightly, activating the power of [Insight], and looked towards the dark gate.
In an instant, various scenes within the gate began to be all reflected in his eyes.
He could see through the entire cave mansion at a glance.
A mont later, he nodded slightly and turned around, looking towards Daoist Master Xuan, saying, "Not bad, although so things are damaged, most of the stuff here is still intact."
He directly led Daoist Master Xuan towards the cave mansion.
The Eight Great Zodiac Gods beside them controlled the previous dozen powerful individuals, following closely towards the cave mansion.
"Chen Long, have those dozen guys guard outside!"
Jiang Shi’s cold voice suddenly echoed.
These dozen guys are not yet qualified to enter this cave mansion!
They have just joined him.
They can only be considered the lowest-ranked subordinates, not even on par with people like Chen Long.
"Yes, my lord!"
Chen Long and the others instantly cupped their fists, driving those dozen individuals out once more.
Inside the cave mansion, a dazzling array of treasures was displayed.
Weapons, armor, herbs, elixir pills... everything was available.
Jiang Shi casually opened a box and saw that there were over a dozen Jade Bottles inside.
He picked up one of the Jade Bottles and gently opened the lid, revealing two Holy Spirit Pills inside, shimring with enticing glow.
And there were a total of eleven similar Jade Bottles.
This ans there were twenty-two Holy Spirit Pills in total.
Jiang Shi pondered slightly and directly took out eight Holy Spirit Pills, giving them to Chen Long and the others, allowing each person to take one aside.
These eight people were too weak and had already beco inconvenient for him to handle tasks.
As his strength increased, the roles he would interact with would grow stronger, hence these eight people also needed to continue advancing.
Anyway, he only needed two Holy Spirit Pills to reach Perfection thoroughly.
The rest of the Holy Spirit Pills were of no use to him anymore.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Chen Long and the eight others were overjoyed, hurriedly cupping their fists and speaking gratefully.
They had been stuck in the Fourth Realm of the Holy Spirit for countless years, and without the Holy Spirit Pill, they didn’t know how long it would take to break through just relying on themselves.
Jiang Shi’s gesture was entirely a rebirth grace.
"Mr. Jiang, there is also a pile of Primordial Earth here that can be refined into Holy Spirit Pills. If refined completely, it could create another ten or so Holy Spirit Pills at least."
Daoist Master Xuan gently lifted another box on the side and explained.
"Oh?"
Jiang Shi glanced over there and looked.
Inside the box, there was a large patch of black-gold soil, shimring with a hazy mysterious glow, carrying an indescribable aura.
"Very good, Daoist Master Xuan, you have indeed done an excellent job this ti. Rest assured, I won’t treat you unfairly,"
Jiang Shi nodded and said, "By the way, do you have any pills for breaking through to the Blood Pill Realm?"
"There are only the herbs, but the pills were not yet refined."
Daoist Master Xuan spoke, directly walking towards the deepest part of the cave mansion.
Jiang Shi followed imdiately.
Inside, there were more than seven or eight layers of restrictions at the forefront of the cave mansion. Dim glow and complex traps were resolved one by one by Daoist Master Xuan, and soon they reached the deepest place.
Here, purple light flickered, shrouded in mysterious purple qi, with more than ten kinds of extrely expensive materials placed on the ground.
"The Blood Pill Realm is profoundly advanced, and taking the pill cannot guarantee a breakthrough to the Blood Pill but rely increases the likelihood. Moreover, once the pill is refined, its potency often greatly weakens over ti. That’s why I didn’t refine it at the ti but sealed the raw materials here and prepared to refine whenever needed."
Daoist Master Xuan said.
"This type of pill cannot guarantee a one-hundred-percent breakthrough?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
"That’s correct; it’s a common understanding among everyone under the heavens. No pill can guarantee a breakthrough to the Blood Pill, only increase the chances. But rest assured, the materials here are enough to refine at least three Blood God Pills."
Daoist Master Xuan spoke.
"I see."
Jiang Shi murmured, "Collect all these materials for , and help refine the Blood God Pill."
"Wait a mont."
Daoist Master Xuan’s expression changed, smiling wryly, "In my current state, I cannot refine the Blood God Pill. I am now rely a Soul Body. The Blood God Pill is different from average pills; it carries so heavenly restrictions. Once refined, it won’t be tolerated by the heavens, and I would be struck by lightning and turned to ashes in my current Soul Body state, just as practice begins."
"Even with guarding you, wouldn’t it work?"
Jiang Shi queried.
He could absorb the thunder and lightning. Even if strong thunder fell, he could absorb it.
"It’s useless,"
Daoist Master Xuan shook his head gently, "This is the rejection of heavenly will. Outsiders cannot interfere. The more interference, the more a fierce thunderstorm. In the end, even you would be caught in it, unable to extricate yourself."
"Then what should be done?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
Daoist Master Xuan paused in thought and then spoke hoarsely, "Help find a body. Once I possess flesh and blood, I can refine the Blood Pill for you."
"Find a body?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes narrowed, imdiately understanding.
This was about possession!
He deeply looked at Daoist Master Xuan and calmly said, "Finding a body isn’t a problem. There are a dozen people outside. Pick one you like, and I’ll eliminate him for you to possess."
"Those people won’t do,"
Daoist Master Xuan shook his head softly, "Possession can’t work on just anyone. It’s also subject to heavenly restrictions. First, those above the Holy Spirit cannot be possessed. If attempted forcefully, both the possessor and the possessed will be obliterated.
Secondly, the target of possession must be born on the sa month, day, and hour as oneself. In other words, the birthdate must match.
Third, most strictly, the target must share a blood relation with oneself. Only in this way will there be no rejection during possession."
"Share a blood relation with you?"
Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes,"
Daoist Master Xuan nodded with a bitter smile, "Which ans, you must select one of my descendants for to possess. Only then will possession be successful. However, given how many years have passed, I don’t even know if I have any descendants alive now."
Jiang Shi quickly thought over in his mind.
Daoist Master Xuan was once the Sect Leader of the Profound Nether Sect and had only one daughter.
Later, his daughter married his disciple Yang Yaotian.
Not long after, Yang Yaotian plotted against Daoist Master Xuan and personally killed his daughter.
Based on this, it’s highly uncertain if there are any surviving descendants.
"Didn’t your daughter have any offspring?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"She did, having a son. But considering Yang Yaotian’s ruthlessness, my grandson was likely killed by him as well,"
Daoist Master Xuan pondered.
"So it’s possible he wasn’t killed?"
Jiang Shi’s tone remained calm, "Forget it, first let reach Great Perfection in the Holy Spirit. Once I achieve Perfection, I will personally go to the Profound Nether Sect to investigate."
"That would be good,"
Daoist Master Xuan nodded.
Even if there are bloodline descendants, they are separated by over three thousand years, and there would be no emotional ties, so possession won’t cause any issues.
Jiang Shi nodded, imdiately turning away again and striding toward the direction of the Holy Spirit Pill.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang, there are quite a few herbs here for soul recovery. May I take so?"
Daoist Master Xuan quickly asked.
"Help yourself, just leave a few for ,"
Jiang Shi replied.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang,"
Daoist Master Xuan said gratefully.
Jiang Shi didn’t pay any more attention, but took a porcelain bottle from the box and poured out the pill inside. With a glint in his eye, he went to the side and began refining it.
Daoist Master Xuan also wasted no ti, quickly taking out a herb that shimred with a violet hue, and began absorbing it similarly.
Throughout the cave mansion, the treasures shimred with light, instantly enveloping everything in a layer of vigorous Essence Qi.
