Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1079 - 680: Everything Depends on Me

Chapter 1079: Chapter 680: Everything Depends on Me

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen Mansion.

A dark figure stepped out of the void and walked back into the courtyard.

Shen Yi glanced sideways and found that someone was already waiting for him.

"Here to deliver something to you."

Wushan stood up from beside the stone table, pointing to two Golden Pills on the table: "These are both thirty-tribulation pills, one is my apology, the other is a reward from the Imperial Court, you should take good care of them."

The previous incident in West Mountain Prefecture clearly involved a Fifth Grade Arhat of the Bodhi Sect, but the distributed rewards obviously did not include it, counting only the Sixth Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm Jiao Dragon and the group of Demons under its command.

Shen Yi pondered for a moment but didn’t say much: "Thanks to the senior."

After all, going against the Bodhi Sect was not a command from the Imperial Court, but rather General Yan’s own intention. It was already good enough not to pursue the matter further.

As if seeing through what was in Shen Yi’s mind, Wushan took out another Golden Pill from his Storage Bag, significantly larger than the prior two: "The Hundred Tribulations Golden Pill, from General Yan himself, has nothing to do with the Imperial Court."

He held the pill in his hand, not letting go for a long time.

Perhaps out of concern that Shen Yi would misunderstand, Wushan added in a muffled voice: "I am not interested in this thing, nor do I have the courage to hoard it."

This obviously was true.

The Hundred Tribulations Golden Pill was precious, but one also needed to have the life to assimilate it, given that he had already decided to clear things up with a few people last time, it was unlikely that he would waver over one Golden Pill.

"I just want to say, think carefully."

"Once you accept this, it will be difficult to turn back in the future."

Wushan is a slick type who seldom meddles in others’ business, but Shen Yi’s comment of "understanding" last time did indeed make him feel much better.

As an experienced elder, he hoped this young man with exceptional talent would consider more carefully.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

General Yan might be generous, but calling the Golden Pill the price for one’s life wouldn’t be far-fetched.

Why bother?

Hearing this, Shen Yi just smiled: "Thanks for the reminder."

"Ah!"

Wushan furrowed his brow, ultimately sighed helplessly, and left the third Golden Pill casually on the table, then turned and left Shen Mansion without another word.

Shen Yi watched him go before approaching the stone table and collecting the Golden Pills.

A whole one hundred and sixty tribulations of Human Emperor Qi, although not as much as a trip to the Eight Extremes Valley, for a regular Cultivator, this was already enough to make one drool.

Besides the Divine Dynasty, probably no other power in the world, not even the Immortal Court, had such a generous hand.

Shen Yi pondered for a moment and still decided to bring out the Pill Furnace.

For now, to make use of Human Emperor Qi for the Dragon Tiger Fruit Position, it would require quite a few Bodhi Sect-specific magical instruments, and it would be best to ask for several elders from the Sect to help digest it to avoid any problems during the Tribulation of the Heart.

With his current identity, going alone to the Bodhi Sect would be no different from seeking death.

Altogether too troublesome.

Using Alchemy to apply these Golden Pills to the Taixu Dao Fruit would be more convenient.

Moreover, when he picked the Taixu Dao Fruit before, Shen Yi had felt that strange sensation, almost unable to extricate himself until Wushan woke him.

He worried about impurities leading to problems.

On the way back, after consuming the Demon Lifespan of the Five Sages of Qingyun, his Dragon Tiger Fruit Position had reached the range of seven hundred and sixty tribulations, far surpassing the Taixu Dao Fruit.

Traveling in Taixu, Shen Yi even encountered feelings of excessive corporeal heaviness, as if he might fall out of that realm.

"Biting off more than one can chew."

He stared at the Pill Furnace in front of him and sighed lightly.

This is the old problem of Loose Cultivators, unable to resist trying whatever good things they see.

While the Taixu Dao Fruit indeed helped him a lot, the problems he was facing were still an unavoidable hurdle.

That is... having the power of tribulations but no path.

The road for the Dragon Tiger Fruit Position was blundered through, but the Taixu Dao Fruit is different; Ye Lan’s Taixu Sword Dao itself hasn’t been fully developed, still stuck at six hundred tribulations, let alone teaching him.

Shen Yi, having joined halfway, was unfamiliar with Shenxu Mountain’s heritage; apart from the Sixth Grade and Fifth Grade Daoist Techniques, all he had left was a room full of Elixir Books, and nothing else whatsoever.

He closed his eyes, engaged in Alchemy, while deep in thought.

Time slowly passed.

Day and night alternated.

Shen Yi’s Storage Bag was now piled high with bottles of elixirs, until the one hundred and sixty tribulations Golden Pills were all infused into the Elixirs.

He put away the Pill Furnace, turned and entered the house, sitting cross-legged on the bed’s edge.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Two Tribulations]

Merely alchemizing cost half a month’s time, and Qinghua, from the Eight Extremes Valley, had sent back only two tribulations worth of Demon Lifespan, enough to show how great the shock of the fall of the Five Sages of Qingyun to other Demons was.

But it was sufficient to digest the Elixirs and verify his thoughts.

Shen Yi was not one to pursue perfection; he would make do with what he had at hand. Since he had only gone through the books in Dan Peak, he might as well base his reasoning on this to deduce his own Fourth Grade Immortal Path.

He took out a handful of Elixirs from the Finger Ring, promptly putting them into his mouth.

[First Tribulation, you have comprehended the Taixu Daoist Technique, successfully picked the Dao Fruit, traveling in Taixu, without trace, but that territory of nothingness is so vast and unpredictable, venturing there in flesh and blood, one risks sinking into the Taixu, never able to return to the world. It is essential to find a place to reside.]

All the books from Dan Peak were converging in Shen Yi’s mind, in the process supported by Demon Lifespan, he gradually transformed the painstakingly left prescriptions of his predecessors for his own use, making inferences from one instance.
