Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 168 Entering the Martial Temple, Refining the Golden Body_1

Jiang Chengyun reacted in such a way that Jiang Qiulan immediately realized the ambiguity in her own words, pursed her lips slightly, and was just about to explain further.

Shen Yi took down the Black Blade and placed it on the table, "Is this an item belonging to an old friend of yours?"

He remembered how General You had also stared at the blade for a long time, and added to that the way this woman had casually swept her gaze across his waist when they met in the broken temple.

There was also that slightly strange feeling from before, when the woman occasionally cast a glance at him as if recalling something.

Shen Yi, who habitually remained alert at all times, couldn't possibly miss these things; he had just been too indifferent to bother with them before. Now that the other party had brought it up, he wasn't one to be petty.

"..."

Jiang Qiulan was slightly startled and then nodded gently, "Mhm."

She too realized that the reason she saw Shen Yi as an old friend wasn't just because of the Black Blade but also because the young man could easily understand her intentions.

Even with such ambiguous words, Shen Yi was actually able to see through what she truly meant to express.

"Since it's not urgent, I'll give it to you once I've replaced it with a new one."

Shen Yi hung the Black Blade back on his waist, knowing that even with a new Precious Tool, it might not immediately be as comfortable to use, and since the other party only wanted to keep it as a keepsake, she probably wouldn't mind waiting a little while.

"Thank you." Jiang Qiulan seemed to like this concise way of communication, no need for too much explanation and no need to show any emotion; she was truly not good at dealing with other people.

The feelings Jiang Chengyun had now were not much better than when he heard something utterly baffling earlier.

Wait, how did you know it belonged to an old friend? All that was explained in these few sentences?

Not at all considering whether I can understand or not?

He's clearly meant to become one of Qingzhou's young leaders, so why does he feel completely unable to blend in?

"Arrange the Martial Temple Refinement as soon as possible, with no need to worry about other matters," Jiang Qiulan walked towards the outside of the room.

As she entered the next room,

Shen Yi finally turned to Jiang Chengyun, "What is Martial Temple Refinement?"

The middle-aged man with an honest face finally found a bit of confidence and didn't mind why the question was suddenly asked, "Martial Temple Refinement refers to those Transcendent Cultivators' Golden Bodies left behind after the fall of their Yin Gods, like the ones we saw today. You can think of it as... ingesting a part of their Golden Bodies as if it were Precious Medicines, assimilating it for your own use."

"Of course, it's just a trivial part, and it only passes through your body for about ten breaths. A martial artist with good aptitude can retain about sixty percent of it, while average ones, like myself, can keep around forty to fifty percent."

Jiang Chengyun recalled the scene when he was in the Condensation Elixir Realm, "It took me two refinement opportunities to condense the nascent pill, and after six more refinements, now I'm just a step away from Condensation Elixir Completion... However, we use different Condensation Elixir Methods, I can only offer you my experience for reference."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi felt somewhat relieved.

It was fortunate that Jiang Qiulan interrupted him earlier; otherwise, he would have been recklessly using the lifespan of demons to force his realm.

Initially, in order to gather enough essence for Jade Liquid Perfection, he not only consumed numerous Beast Origins but also spent nearly six hundred years.

The world was too stingy, and cultivation had to rely on plundering.

This Martial Temple Refinement was nothing more than substituting the target of plunder from demons and heavenly treasures, to high realm cultivators who had already fallen.

"Right, just now Lady Jiang mentioned arranging Martial Temple Refinement..."

Jiang Chengyun cleansed the porcelain shards on the ground with his energy, glanced sideways, his eyes filled with an undeniable complexity, "So you really understood everything? You weren't pretending... don't you need to familiarize yourself more?"

Shen Yi turned off the panel and shook his head, "I shouldn't need to."

After six hundred and seventy-nine years, if converted to Dual Polarity True Intent, one would already be approaching great achievement at this time. The challenges of the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Devouring were merely a single Condensation Elixir Method.

He was so familiar with the entire process that all he lacked was the fundamental accumulation of cultivation.

Shen Yi closed his eyes and felt the vast knowledge that had been added to his mind.

```

This so-called number one Condensation Elixir Method in Great Qian, certified "precious" by the panel, had but one advantage over the ordinary Condensation Elixir Methods.

That was speed!

It cultivated a Heaven-Devouring Dao Infant that was incomparably greedy at the fastest speed. Compared to the Dao Infants nurtured by other cultivators in the Embrace Pill Realm, which required careful attention, this one was not picky at all. It didn't reject anyone and didn't care about the mixedness of the aura or its unsuitability for nurturing.

Shen Yi finally understood why Jiang Qiulan had recommended this martial arts manual to him.

Only the inner core condensed by the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Devouring could accommodate the demonic power of a malevolent spirit!

But such a greedy Dao Infant would surely be more ferocious and difficult to tame.

Therefore, it would require the Sun Melting Furnace to suppress it, and finally, the soul consciousness would replace its consciousness to complete the process of breaking the pill and achieve the state of a Primordial Wuji Grandmaster.

Now, he had a deeper understanding of the Condensation Elixir Realm.

Shen Yi lost the urge to try forging another Golden Body Dharma Identity.

If his soul consciousness was given to the Dao Infant, it would not be possible to give it to the Yin God. This was not like controlling two Precious Tools but completely entrusting the soul consciousness into them.

How could a soul be split into two, without becoming insane?

Shen Yi stood up and walked out of the house, looking towards the towering Martial Temple in front with a hint of disappointment.

Just at that moment, his fingertips trembled, and he suddenly remembered something.

The panel unfolded before his eyes, and the words he had previously overlooked rushed into his view.

[Demon Origin: Capable of reshaping the demon's soul, serve by your side, enslaved forever, unable to transcend, suffering all the world's tribulations, to protect its master's supreme law.]

"To protect its master's supreme law."

Shen Yi silently recited in his heart, took a deep breath, and a bold idea formed in his mind.

…

The next day.

Jiang Chengyun quickly communicated with the Demon Hunter Office.

In the face of a Demon-suppression Great General who was to undergo ten refinements, even the efficiency increased significantly.

In front of the Martial Temple, four figures in blue clothing quietly appeared, all with aged faces, as if half of their bodies were already buried in the ground.

They slowly entered the main hall.

Looking at the young man in profound armor who was already standing under the thirteen Golden Bodies.

The elders waved their hands slightly, and instantly, thick white fog emerged at the entrance of the Martial Temple, isolating the entire hall from the outside world.

"Sit cross-legged, hold your breath, and focus."

Shen Yi sat on the meditation cushion, in a position that was subtly at the convergence of all the tall, golden-bodied Dharma Aspects' gazes.

Yakshas were fierce, Lion Camels reclined, and the Dharma Aspects with the heads of beasts and bodies of humans each held a golden spike in their hands...

However, compared to these twelve fierce and malevolent Dharma Aspects, the six-zhang-tall Golden Body in the middle that looked more normal made Shen Yi's eyes unconsciously narrow slightly.

Within the silent Martial Temple, the raging eyes of the Arhat Golden Body suddenly moved.

"…"

Shen Yi steadied his emotions; he indeed had not seen it wrong that day.

Among so many Dharma Aspects, only the Arhat Golden Body was "alive"…
