The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 842

Chapter 842: Chapter 839: The Dragon Slayer Chapter 842: Chapter 839: The Dragon Slayer Shen Luo let out a light sigh, quietly praising the restoration spells of Mount Putuo for their wondrous effects. He took out a Restoration Pill and swallowed it, refining it to slowly recover his remaining mana.

Seeing this, Nie Caizhu raised the Sun and Moon Light Brilliant Stick again.

“Cousin, you were injured before, and using Salvation of All Beings consumes a lot of energy. Don't push yourself too hard,” Shen Luo hurriedly stopped her.

“It's okay, my injuries aren't serious, and my strength is weak, negligible. Cousin, you should recover your combat ability as quickly as possible,” Nie Caizhu said, shaking her head.

“How could that be, cousin? You've acquired the Yangliu Branch, which is also one of Bodhisattva's Magical Treasures. Quickly try to refine it, and it will certainly be of great use,” Shen Luo said.

“The Yangliu Branch requires a unique refining technique from the Guanyin Ancestor Master to be activated, which I do not know. I can't use it,” Nie Caizhu shook her head and said.

Then, without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, she raised the Sun and Moon Light Brilliant Stick and used Salvation of All Beings once more.

Green light flashed continuously on Shen Luo's body, and his mana was nearly fully restored.

Nie Caizhu wiped the sweat from her forehead, revealing a slight smile.

“Speaking of which, Young Master Shen, why could you activate the Purple Gold Bell? This bell also requires the unique refining technique of the Guanyin Ancestor Master to be activated. Could it be that you have some connection with the ancestor Master, knowing her secret technique of refining?” the Little Bear Monster turned and asked.

Nie Caizhu also looked at Shen Luo with curiosity.

“I don't know the refining techniques of Bodhisattva. It's just that I happened upon the Innate Treasure-refining Technique in the past, and refined this Purple Gold Bell with it,” Shen Luo shook his head and said.

“The Innate Treasure-refining Technique! You actually know the Innate Treasure-refining Technique!” exclaimed the Little Bear Monster, its eyes widening with shock.

“Is there a problem with that technique?” Shen Luo asked, raising an eyebrow at the Little Bear Monster's reaction.

“Of course, there's no problem. The Innate Treasure-refining Technique is known as the foremost refining divine power from ancient times to present. It's said to have been created by the Sage Nuwa when she refined the Five-Colored Stone to repair the sky. It can refine all treasures in the world! Where did you acquire this technique?” The Little Bear Monster barely suppressed its amazement, explaining, and a trace of greed flashed imperceptibly in its eyes.

Shen Luo was also taken aback upon hearing this.

He had acquired the Innate Treasure-refining Technique some time ago and, although he found it exceedingly profound, he had not realized it had such an incredible origin.

“This technique was something I chanced upon in a secret realm many years ago. I had not heard of its reputation before. Since the Innate Treasure-refining Technique can refine all Magical Treasures, cousin, I will pass it on to you now. Try and see if you can refine the Yangliu Branch,” Shen Luo said, and with a gesture, he touched Nie Caizhu's forehead.

A stream of consciousness flowed from the tip of his finger into Nie Caizhu's mind, containing the chant of the Innate Treasure-refining Technique along with some of his insights about the technique over the years.

“Thank you, Cousin,” said Nie Caizhu with joy on her face, closing her eyes to comprehend the technique. She seemed to enter a state of transcendence, unaware of her surroundings.

Shen Luo did not wait there. He shook the Purple Gold Bell again, and a stream of purple-golden light shot out from it, wrapping around Nie Caizhu's body as he continued to flee towards the Outside.

The Little Bear Monster followed close behind Shen Luo, and the two soon flew out of the Passageway and returned to the great hall they had been in before.

Shen Luo's expression suddenly changed. He saw a body lying on the Ground of the great hall–it was that of the Baby Dragon Girl.

The girl had a blood hole the size of a finger in the center of her forehead, with fresh blood staining the ground.

“Baby Dragon Girl!” The Little Bear Monster bellowed hoarsely, pouncing forward to check on Baby Dragon Girl, seemingly having a close relationship with her.

There was also a blood hole at the back of Baby Dragon Girl's head; she was clearly pierced through the skull by some attack, her divine soul shredded, having long since lost all breath of life.

“Baby Dragon Girl was the one guarding the Purple Gold Bell. Did you kill her?” The Little Bear Monster suddenly turned towards Shen Luo, eyes blazing with fury.

Inside Chaoyin Cave, there was no one else except for the Little Bear Monster, Baby Dragon Girl, and the three guardians of the treasure at the end of the passageway on the right. They had lived together for many years and formed deep bonds, especially the Little Bear Monster, who harbored a hint of affection for Baby Dragon Girl.

Now, with Baby Dragon Girl's corpse sprawled here, Little Bear Monster was enraged to madness.

“No, I just took the Purple Gold Bell from Baby Dragon Girl and did not lay a hand on her. It is very likely that she was killed by Wei Qing and Liu Qing,” Shen Luo naturally denied.

Baby Dragon Girl had been immobilized by him with a Binding Talisman, and with her strength, she would have broken free soon. It seemed that she had chased after Shen Luo to settle the score and just happened to encounter Wei Qing and Liu Qing in this great hall, where she was killed by them.

Although he did not like Baby Dragon Girl, seeing her dead here, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Little Bear Monster, hearing these words, had some of the rage in his eyes diminish, snorted, and pressed a finger to Baby Dragon Girl's forehead, his mouth murmuring incantations.

A white light shot from the Little Bear Monster's fingertip and entered Baby Dragon Girl's body, swiftly making a circuit before returning to his finger, spinning into a bright white light ball.

“Eh! The Bright Soul Curse from the Bottomless Pit! I didn't expect this Little Bear Monster to be capable of using it,” Yuan Qiu exclaimed softly from within the Heavenly Book Space.

“Bright Soul Curse? What secret technique is that? And what place is the Bottomless Pit?” Shen Luo asked.

“The Bottomless Pit is a mysterious sect in West Niu Hezhou Continent. Its disciples seldom walk among humans, hence few people know about it. I also learned of this sect through a chance encounter. The Daoist techniques of the Bottomless Pit are exquisite, not inferior to Mount Putuo's, especially in the art of the spirit. This Bright Soul Curse is one of their arts, capable of probing the residual soul on a corpse, projecting the deepest memory before death, which is usually the appearance of the murderer,” Yuan Qiu explained.

“There's such a secret technique!” Shen Luo was surprised for a moment, and his heart relaxed at the same time.

With Little Bear Monster using this technique to find Baby Dragon Girl's murderer, Shen Luo's suspicion would naturally be cleared.

The white light ball pulsed, with vague shadows constantly flashing within it, and after a few breaths, a figure emerged, which was none other than Shen Luo.

Shen Luo was startled, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

“It was indeed you!” The Little Bear Monster suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with deadly intent, as the temperature around him dropped significantly.

“Your Excellency used the Bright Soul Curse, right? I've heard of this technique, which can probe the lingering soul of the deceased and find the deepest memory before death. However, I can swear on the Heart Demon that she was absolutely not killed by me!” Shen Luo met Little Bear Monster's gaze and spoke solemnly.

“Yuan Qiu, what's going on here? Didn't you say the Bright Soul Curse shows the murderer? Why is it showing me!” At the same time, he communicated with Yuan Qiu in his mind.

“This… Typically, that is the case. However, Baby Dragon Girl harbored intense hatred toward you, Friend Shen. If she was killed in a sneak attack without seeing her murderer, the Bright Soul Curse might indeed show your image,” Yuan Qiu hesitated for a moment, speaking rapidly.

“Humans are always cunning; do you think I would believe such so-called oaths!” Little Bear Monster's eyes emitted a cold gleam, his body flickering with black light, seemingly about to strike at any moment.
