The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1061

Chapter 1061: Chapter 1058: Misunderstanding Chapter 1061: Chapter 1058: Misunderstanding “Who's there sneaking around!” Shen Luo bellowed as he flipped his hand.

A flash of golden light shone from his palm, with a Profound Yellow Staff appearing, and as he shook his arm, the long stick transformed into a golden rod shadow, striking like lightning onto a cyan prohibition light curtain some distance away.

This Profound Yellow Staff was the Profound Yellow Staff indeed, but compared to before, it had undergone significant changes, with mysterious runes emerging on the body and both ends turning a golden yellow, exuding an aura twice as strong as before.

Previously on Falling Star Island, Shen Luo had found an Artifact Refiner who fused the Spirit Solar Iron from Master Baoxiang's Chan Stick into the Profound Yellow Staff, successfully upgrading it to the level of Magical Treasures.

The cyan prohibition light curtain shattered like brittle paper against the golden rod shadow with a “crack” sound, revealing a figure.

The person seemed not to have anticipated being discovered, pausing before hurriedly dodging to the side.

Shen Luo snorted softly, twisted his wrist, and in an instant, the Profound Yellow Staff in his hand split into three phantoms, enveloping the person's body like lightning.

“This is…” the figure exclaimed in shock, but before he could finish, the three rod shadows struck the figure in succession.

With a loud crash, the figure flew out like a bundle of straw and slammed against the cave mansion wall several feet away.

Layers of prohibition light emerged on the wall, but the power of the Profound Yellow Staff was so frightening that the prohibition light and figure touched and shattered once more, as if crumbling to dust.

With a “boom,” a large hole blew open in the thick wall, and the figure was flung out, smashing hard onto the ground outside, where dust flew up and dispersed in all directions.

Shen Luo stared at the Profound Yellow Staff in his hand, his face unable to hide his elation.

In the past, when he used this staff technique in real life, he couldn't bring out its full power due to his frail physical strength, leaving this earth-shattering technique underutilized.

Now that he had achieved results in cultivating the Huangting Technique, he could finally display the true might of this staff technique in reality.

Shen Luo didn't linger in his excitement and quickly regained composure. He leaped from the hole in the wall, his feet emitting a bright moonlight glamour as he rushed with extreme speed toward the outside pit.

He sensed that, even though the person had been struck flying by the Profound Yellow Staff, they hadn't lost their fighting power.

“Stop, Friend Shen, it's me,” a voice came from within the big pit.

Shen Luo's brows raised, and he paused, stopping next to the pit.

A figure covered in mud leaped out from the pit; it was the Black Bear Demon, looking disheveled and dirtied.

“Protector, how come it's you?” Shen Luo was greatly surprised.

“Cough, I have collected a batch of treasures containing the power of water's spiritual force and specially brought them to you. I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to occur,” said the Black Bear Demon with a cough and a somewhat embarrassed tone.

He had gone to great lengths to collect treasures infused with the spiritual force of water, and had acquired a batch from a friend within the Great Tang Dynasty, so he brought them to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

However, when the Black Bear Demon saw Shen Luo cultivating the Huangting Technique from a distance and found it fascinating, he sneaked into the cave mansion to take a closer look but ended up being detected by Shen Luo and inadvertently took a hit from his staff.

Even with his late-stage True Immortal cultivation level, being struck by Shen Luo, a Great Mahayana Stage Cultivator, was an indignity, though he wasn't much hurt.

“So that's what happened, it was indeed my rashness,” said Shen Luo as he put away the Profound Yellow Staff and apologized with a bow.

“The things are all inside here; take a look.” The Black Bear Demon didn't wish to dwell on the matter and handed over a bracelet.

Shen Luo received the storage magical tool and his divine sense probed inside; his eyes lit up.

Inside the storage magical tool were three treasures containing the power of water. One was a blue jade bottle filled with a bead of blue spirit liquid, an unknown type of true water that emitted a terrifying coldness, which could be clearly sensed even through the bottle.

The second item was a water-drop shaped blue crystal stone that faintly echoed with unceasing sounds of water, as if it contained a great river.

The third item was a blue demon pellet about the size of a fist, with faint dragon patterns on it; the water element contained within was somewhat mixed but the overall volume of spiritual power was the highest among the three treasures.

“The drop in the bottle is One-Yuan True Water, known as the origin of all waters, although I had a good friend add some Cold Marrow to it. He originally planned to use it for refining a treasure, but I insisted he give it to me. The blue crystal stone is the Mixed Yin Yuan Crystal, containing the innate power of water sources. Lastly, the demon pellet is from a peak Great Mahayana Flood Dragon, and it's teeming with an extraordinary amount of water-elemental spiritual power,” the Black Bear Demon briefly introduced the three treasures.

“These three spirit items contain a great amount of water-elemental spiritual power, which is very useful to me, thank you,” Shen Luo said, bowing his hands in thanks.

Seeing Shen Luo satisfied, the Black Bear Demon relaxed and thought for a moment before asking, “Are these spirit items sufficient?”

“Not quite enough, Elder. If you could find as many water-element spirit items, I will give you that set of cultivation notes,” Shen Luo pondered for a moment, then said.

These three treasures were enough to allow him to break through to the Late Mahayana Stage, but from the Late Mahayana Stage to the True Immortal Stage required even more vitality.

“Really? Then I'll continue searching right away!” Rather than getting angry, the Black Bear Demon was overjoyed, responded with excitement, and shot up into the sky, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

As quick as its arrival, so was its departure.

Shen Luo had intended to negotiate with the Black Bear Demon for some Thunder Bone Pills, but there was no time for that now.

However, since he could contact the Black Bear Demon at any time with the transmission array disc, he wasn't concerned.

He turned and walked back to his cave mansion, repaired the cracked stone wall, and once again sat down in the secret chamber.

Shen Luo picked up the storage magical tool and, after a moment's thought, took out the drop of One-Yuan True Water.

Among the three treasures, this drop of One-Yuan True Water contained the least amount of water-element spiritual power, but it was the most pure.

He was about to break through to the Mahayana Middle Stage. Previously, when guiding the Mirror Fiend, it was necessary to purify its own demon qi for breaking through, and it was the same for human cultivators — using One-Yuan True Water for cultivation was most appropriate.

Shen Luo circulated the Nameless Cultivation Technique and began absorbing the water-elemental spiritual power within the One-Yuan True Water, enhancing his own mana.

He did not pursue speed in increasing his mana, but repeatedly compressed it, ensuring his mana reached the utmost purity.

Inside the main hall of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Qin Ming wore a dark green Taoist robe, held a golden thread whisk, and quietly looked outside.

An aura circulated around his body; he had clearly reached the Qi Refining Late Stage.

In the past month, he had made a smooth breakthrough with the power of the elixirs given by Shen Luo.

In a small sect like theirs, the Qi Refining Late Stage was already considered a high level of cultivation, and with Shen Luo's elixirs, Qin Ming was confident that he could break through to the Grain Avoidance Stage within half a year.

By that time, even if Shen Luo left, he had faith that he could hold up the flag of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.
