Chapter 75 An Unexpected Joy
Next, you will make a solemn oath against your inner demons, as required by Master Xuehai.
[The oath roughly states: As long as it is confirmed that the location provided by Blood Sea Immortal does indeed contain a Core Formation spiritual object, and you successfully obtain this Core Formation spiritual object]
[Since there were no issues with the inheritance of the five third-tier skills, they immediately released the wisp of Blood Sea True Man's soul.]
The oath was explained in detail before and after, eliminating any possibility of wordplay.
[For example, you could obtain it, but you deliberately don't, etc., which are loopholes in the oath.]
After you made that great oath against your inner demons, you didn't feel anything.
[Leaving aside the fact that the Great Oath of the Inner Demon doesn't bind you as much as Blood Sea Master imagines.]
Even if you strictly adhere to the oath you made to your inner demons, you will not suffer any loss.
[Releasing the essence of Blood Sea Immortal? It's not unacceptable to you.]
[Blood Sea Immortal doesn't have much lifespan left. At worst, you can hide in Azure Moon Immortal City for the next few decades and not come out.]
Even if Master Xuehai wanted to take revenge on you, there's not much he could do.
You can easily wear down the Blood Sea Master to death.
The risks of releasing the Blood Sea Immortal's spirit are within your manageable range.
[Actually, if True Immortal Blood Sea could provide Crystal Condensation Pills]
Not only are you willing to let him go, but you are also willing to actively help him recover his strength, provide various cultivation resources, and even possess his body.
In the world of cultivation, there are no absolute enemies, only eternal interests.
After confirming that there were no problems with the oath you made to your inner demons, Master Xuehai relaxed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, please provide five blank jade slips..." Blood Sea Immortal said.
The inheritance of five third-tier skills contains too much information to be conveyed verbally; transmitting it to a jade slip using divine sense is the most efficient method.
You take out five blank jade slips.
[Blood Sea Immortal picked up the jade slips and pressed them to his forehead for a while.]
[Shortly afterward, the five jade slips returned to you.]
[You use your divine sense to investigate]
These five jade slips contain five additional skill inheritances.
[These are two third-tier array formation techniques, one third-tier puppetry technique, one third-tier alchemy technique, and one third-tier poison technique.]
"A lineage of poison masters?"
You are slightly surprised. Like divination, the path of poison is also one of the hundred arts of cultivation, but it is extremely obscure.
Of course, as obscure as it may be, a master of poisons possesses methods that would make cultivators of the same level extremely wary.
"That Core Formation spiritual plant is called the Fire Essence Jujube, and it's located in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range..."
[The Blood Sea Immortal slowly spoke.]
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, stretching across the Taiyuan Domain and the Zixiao Domain, has nurtured countless demonic beasts and ferocious creatures.
[That is why a large number of cultivators enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range every year to hunt demonic beasts.]
The flesh, hide, fur, and bones of demonic beasts are all valuable cultivation materials.
In addition, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is also home to many precious spiritual herbs and materials.
The pseudo-core level power "Beast Taming Mountain" is located near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and started its rise by relying on the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
One month later, you arrived outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is known for being fraught with danger, that danger is only for Qi Refining stage cultivators and ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Although you are only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, in terms of the quality of your mana, the strength of your spiritual sense, and even your physical body, you are no weaker than a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
As long as you don't venture deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, you're unlikely to encounter any danger.
The "Fire Essence Jujube" that Blood Sea True Man mentioned is located somewhere on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range; it poses no danger to you.
"They probably didn't lie to me..."
You gazed at the distant Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, thinking to yourself.
You did not carry the Mountain and Sea Ring that sealed the Blood Sea Immortal with you.
Instead, it was sealed off under multiple layers of protection and hidden in an extremely secret place.
[If you don't return from this journey, then what awaits the Blood Sea Immortal within the Mountain and Sea Ring is permanent sealing until death.]
[The Blood Sea Immortal also knows about this.]
Several days later, you arrived at a certain location on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
[A few hundred meters away is a valley.]
According to True Immortal Xuehai, the Fire Essence Jujube is located in this valley.
The valley was surrounded by illusion arrays set up by the Blood Sea Immortal who passed by years ago, arrays that even second-tier demonic beasts or Foundation Establishment cultivators could not see through.
As for Core Formation cultivators and third-tier great demons?
It's virtually impossible for a Tier 3 Great Demon to appear outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Even if a Tier 3 Great Demon did come to the outer edge of the mountain range and passed by this place, the probability of it being discovered would be extremely low.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range spans two regions, its area is too vast.
[You did not rashly enter the valley, but instead planned to send your subordinates in as usual.]
"Greetings, senior! Greetings, senior!"
[Dozens of miles away, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, his scalp tingling, looked at you who had silently appeared beside him and begged for mercy without hesitation.]
"Come with me."
You knock the opponent unconscious and take them outside the valley.
A moment later, the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator awoke.
"Enter that valley, and follow..."
You glanced at it and told the other party how to break through the illusion array and enter the deepest part of the valley.
【"good......"】
The late-stage Qi Refining cultivator trembled, but had no choice.
[When facing revisionism, disobedience means death.]
And so, the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator walked cautiously into the valley.
[You wait outside. You've planted a tracking technique on that late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, so he's completely under your control.]
Half a day later, you watched as a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator walked out.
"Senior...I..."
[The late-stage Qi Refining cultivator was about to speak]
"You don't need to tell me, I'll do it myself."
You reach out and place your hand on the other person's head, beginning the soul search.
The memories of this late-stage Qi Refining cultivator who entered the valley will unfold before you.
"Two Fire Essence Dates?" You exclaimed in surprise, feeling a delightful surprise.
In the memories of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, deep within the valley, two ripe 'Fire Essence Dates,' one large and one small, hung from the Fire Essence Date tree.
Hundreds of years ago, when the Blood Sea Immortal passed by this place, he only found an unripe 'Fire Essence Jujube' hanging on the jujube tree.
The other small "fire essence jujube" must have grown only in the last few hundred years.
The late-stage Qi Refining cultivator did not recognize the Fire Essence Dates. Strictly following your instructions, he used a specific method to remove two Fire Essence Dates without damaging the date tree itself.
With a simple raise of your right hand, the storage bag of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator floated into the air.
[With divine sense probing inside, two fire essence dates were retrieved.]
[You don't intend to bring the Fire Essence Jujube Tree out with you. This spiritual plant is extremely delicate and will die quickly once it leaves its native soil environment.]
[Hold the Fire Essence Dates safe, then glance at the unconscious late-stage Qi Refining cultivator and choose to silence him.]
[During the soul search just now, you discovered that this late-stage Qi Refining cultivator was secretly a traitor, committing arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds.]
You feel no qualms about killing cultivators of such low character.
"This location information can also be sold..."
Before you left, you glanced at the valley. The growth cycle of the Fire Essence Jujube is several hundred years. In this simulation, unless you reach the Core Formation stage, you probably won't see the next Fire Essence Jujube grow.
In that case, selling this information in exchange for something of value is the best option.
[After leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, you arrive at the place where the Mountain and Sea Ring is hidden.]
[You take out the jade box that sealed the Mountain and Sea Ring and fall into deep thought.]
Now that we've obtained the Core Formation artifact, we also have two unexpected Core Formation artifacts.
[So, the next thing you need to consider is whether or not to keep your oath to the inner demons and let Blood Sea Immortal go?]
