109: Everything in the world will become my tomorrow!

“Fellow Daoist, you must have obtained the longevity pill this time, right?”

Behind the screen, Zhao Si looked at Shen Li, not even preparing tea.

His gaze towards Shen Li was far from friendly; instead, it was filled with frequent questioning.

Seeing this, Shen Li, feeling helpless, took out the longevity pill from his Storage Pouch.

Zhao Si's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, then opened the bottle.

As if inhaling some indescribable gas, he nodded in intoxication.

“That’s right, this is the smell.”

“Fellow Daoist’s goods are very pure.”

Shen Li’s mouth twitched, automatically ignoring these extremely strict words, and reached out to snatch it back.

Zhao Si looked reluctant, but Shen Li looked at the table.

Seeing this, Zhao Si immediately understood Shen Li’s meaning and took out spring water and tea leaves from his Storage Pouch.

Then, he cooked it over a small fire, and soon, a faint tea aroma spread through the air.

“Ninth-grade Xilan Tea... After consumption, one’s mind becomes clear; it is a rare good item.”

Shen Li took a sip of the hot tea and got straight to the point.

“What Fellow Daoist said earlier should still be effective, right?”

“Naturally.”

Shen Li took out a recording stone and then said.

“The location of this longevity pill is right here.”

Zhao Si did not take the recording stone, but only looked deeply at Shen Li.

As if trying to see through this young facade to understand what the ‘person’ inside was thinking.

Shen Li explained to himself.

“I have my own way to put it in there, and this doesn’t violate the omniscient’s taboo, does it?”

Zhao Si, however, stared intently, making Shen Li uncomfortable, and after a long while, he slowly said.

“Using my omniscient’s blade to kill, Fellow Daoist’s idea is very interesting, and very dangerous.”

Shen Li asked with some doubt.

“But this matter doesn’t violate the omniscient’s rules, does it?”

Zhao Si took a deep look at Shen Li, then took the recording stone.

“Of course.”

“It’s just a matter of once or twice, but not thrice. Fellow Daoist’s approach makes it very easy for my omniscient to blacklist you.”

Shen Li didn't care, smiling freely.

Then Zhao Si threw out a Jade Slip and casually said.

“This method is different from the three sword-training methods of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect; it is the proper sword-training method of a long-lost Sword Sect. Its power is overbearing, but its cultivation is equally arduous.”

“Cultivating this method, you don’t have to worry about the Cloud Sea Sword Sect coming to your door.”

Taking the Jade Slip and putting it into his Storage Pouch, a heavy stone seemed to fall from Shen Li’s heart.

He stood up, but then asked.

“I wonder if Fellow Daoist can agree to one more condition for me.”

Zhao Si’s attitude towards Shen Li was not particularly good, but as if bound by some rule, he still patiently asked.

“I can’t promise conditions. I just sell information; I don’t have much ability.”

Shen Li said.

“I just hope Fellow Daoist spreads this information a bit slower.”

“How much time do you need?”

“Three months.”

“Alright.”

Watching Shen Li leave, Zhao Si’s gaze remained fixed for a long time, not opening his mouth to say “Next.”

He merely looked at the dome… After a long while, he lowered his gaze and cursed in a low voice.

“How does this kid have two Immortal Master auras on him?”

“Damn it, I still have to give him some Face!”

“It’s really bad luck!”

“Forget it, the Huangfeng Plains is his territory. Even a strong Dragon can’t suppress a local snake.”

“These days… doing business is really difficult.”

“Next!”

....

Having obtained the sword-refining method, Shen Li no longer stayed long at Fu Yu Mountain. His goal had been achieved, and he still had three months.

He needed to refine the Taiyin Sword Pill as quickly as possible.

Only then could he be confident in dealing with the Evil Cultivator Alliance and obtaining that last fragment of the loulan treasure ship!

Returning to the inn, he led everyone to gradually return.

The return journey was smooth; apart from a small number of Yao Beasts attempting to rob them, there was nothing else that was foolish enough to get in their way.

A few days later, upon arriving in Black Ridge City, Shen Li instructed his people to settle the barbarian civilians, then summoned Ruo Liuli!

After giving her the instructions, Ruo Liuli went to dispatch the Yuting Guard on her own.

This journey required a considerable distance and full effort.

It would take some time for the news to spread, and for everyone to confirm the news and gather around the Evil Cultivator Alliance’s Yanmo Mountain also required time.

Thus, there was a vacuum period.

Instructing Sun Xingtu to use his Earth Escape to monitor the movements of the Evil Cultivator Alliance and the many Immortal Sect Cultivators, and telling Wang Teng to prepare some things, Shen Li then entered seclusion on his own.

The door of the cultivation room slowly closed.

Shen Li took out the Jade Slip from Zhao Si’s hand from his bosom, and his spiritual sense entered it.

[Sword Holder • Only Me]

Four ancient and sharp characters appeared prominently on his brow.

“Only Me... Is that the name of a Sword Sect?”

“What a strange name.”

Shen Li’s eyes flickered, and he continuously pondered and thought in his mind, but he still couldn’t find a single clue.

This Immortal Realm has existed for countless years.

Prodigies of astonishing talent have turned into yellow earth.

Saintesses of peerless beauty have become white bones.

This land has buried too many things... It was normal for him not to know.

Shen Li gradually opened the subsequent content of the Jade Slip, slowly sinking into it, lost in thought for a long time, gradually becoming immersed.

“Only with a heart of ‘Only Me’ can one control the weapon.”

“Only with a thought of ‘Only Me’ can the sword move with one’s will.”

“Only with the command of ‘Only Me’ can one cleave mountains and rivers with intent.”

“Indeed, it is an extremely rare sword-refining method.”

Shen Li murmured softly, regaining his senses, yet still amazed by the domineering implication within. After fully comprehending the Sword Holder method, he flipped his hand and took out the Taiyin Sword Pill, which was buried deepest in his Storage Pouch.

The wax seal on the surface of the Sword Pill gradually shattered, revealing the core of the Sword Pill inside.

The Sword Pill was entirely dark blue, with intricate Taiyin runes flowing on its surface, like solidified moonlight, yet emitting a chilling Qi even more intense than profound ice.

Solar Body Slaughter, Lunar Soul Slaughter, profound and overbearing.

Whenever Shen Li circulated his Spiritual Qi, crescent moon-like patterns would appear on the surface of the Sword Pill, subtly resonating with the “Taiyin Wumeng • Crescent Moon” technique he had previously comprehended.

Even if it wasn't successfully refined yet, the current Taiyin Sword Pill could still manifest the aura of that minor technique.

Clearly, this Sword Pill’s amplification and enhancement of that minor sword technique had reached a terrifying level.

This was exactly what Shen Li desired.

A Seventh-Grade Sword Pill was no ordinary item; the essence of Taiyin Star Essence and Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron contained within the Sword Pill was even more filled with infinite Yin-cold power.

At this moment, it was restless due to not being refined, repeatedly trying to break free from his control, and the emitted dark blue Sword Qi left spiderweb-like ice marks on the walls of the seclusion chamber.

If this Yin-cold power could be refined... his Realm could continue to climb!

And if an ordinary person were to refine it, they would certainly waste a lot due to incompatible attributes.

However, Shen Li’s Physical Body Aptitude had already transformed from ordinary to Ice Muscle Jade Bone, so not only was he not corroded by the Taiyin coldness, but he also had a stance of harmonizing Meridians and gathering Qi.

Shen Li pricked his brow with his fingertip, and a drop of essence blood dripped onto the Sword Pill.

The moment the blood color merged with the dark blue, the Sword Pill suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and countless Taiyin runes, like living creatures, climbed up his arm, bringing a bone-chilling numbness.

The Taiyin Dao lineage was rare and untraceable... so he could only endure it.

This sword-refining method of the Only Me Sword Sect was completely different from that of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect, so Shen Li had no idea what the outcome would be or what results it would produce.

However, Shen Li could sense that the Sword Holder sword-refining method of the Only Me Sword Sect was extremely overbearing, emphasizing “I am the Sword Master, all things follow my will,” allowing no resistance from the Sword Pill.

And the Seventh-Grade Sword Pill itself was of extremely high quality and would not submit so easily... For a time, the Qi within his body became a chaotic mess.

Shen Li, helpless, could only calm his mind and slowly regulate the two domineering forces within him.

He murmured.

“I hope it doesn’t delay the Yanmo Mountain matter.”

The surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing, and frost formed on the stone walls. Shen Li could feel the Taiyin power within the Sword Pill surging like a tide, attempting to erode his Meridians.

It was a sense of dead silence, a mixture of the emptiness of moonlight and the slumber of all things, completely different from the chilling killing intent emitted by the Ice Muscle Jade Bone, leaning more towards... the vastness of boundless emptiness.

A feeling of emptiness came, but instead of retreating, Shen Li circulated his spiritual threads, wrapping around the Sword Pill like a spiderweb.

The moonlight pouring down from the crescent moon in the sky outside gently gathered, then formed a towering white jade pillar that descended into the seclusion chamber.

However, frost gradually covered the exterior walls, trapping Shen Li within.

“Will... Sword Cultivator... technique... Only Me...”

“All things in the world are for my use.”

“All become the me of tomorrow.”
