93: Meet Sen Yan Zhenren

Wang Teng, who was curled up in the corner, had been waiting for Shen Li to save his life.

Because in front of outsiders, his own Uncle would surely show some respect, right?

He never expected that this damned Shen would not enter, causing him to suffer a beating for nothing.

Meeting the wrong person, it was simply meeting the wrong person.

Shen Li arrived, but respectfully cupped his hands and said,

"Greetings, Uncle."

Both of them tacitly ignored Wang Teng, who lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Wang Chen led Shen Li to sit down, then chuckled.

If one ignored the lipstick marks on Wang Chen's face, he would truly have the demeanor of an elder Cultivator.

It was just a pity... there was no 'if'.

"Nephew, please sit. A while ago, Immortal Master returned and mentioned you to me. Nephew truly has a good Heart-Nature. To so generously give a Ninth Grade heaven and earth treasure to that scoundrel."

"Nephew's magnanimity is truly great."

Shen Li appropriately handed over a silk handkerchief, then smiled and said,

"Brother Wang also contributed greatly to this matter. Since Wang Family Uncle entrusted Brother Wang to me, how could your nephew monopolize the Opportunity?"

"Shen Li still understands the principle that shared joy is better than solitary joy."

Wang Chen was even more gratified.

This Shen Family Immortal Seed had extraordinary methods and was excellent at handling affairs. Although his schemes were a bit deep, he knew what to do and what not to do, and he was very sensible.

He wiped his face with a warm towel, then smiled and said,

"You can't say it like that... How could I not know that little rascal Wang Teng? If it weren't for my nephew's help, he would probably still have an unstable Heart-Nature now, at most breaking through to Qi Refining (Level 2). How could he be in the current state of Qi Refining Third Layer Perfection?"

"This achievement is still thanks to your proper control."

"We simply achieved things together."

After a while of polite refusal, even Wang Teng, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but say,

"Alright... What's with all the pretense? Can we just get to the point?"

Shen... you just tell my Uncle directly.

"Ouch... Uncle, what did you put on this whip? Why does it feel so hot and stinging?"

"Never mind, I'll go find someone to apply medicine first."

Wang Teng staggered out of the hall and quickly disappeared.

Wang Chen said with satisfaction,

"This child's martial arts cultivation is quite good... I originally thought this whipping would at least leave him with gashed skin and flesh, but I didn't expect it to be just some superficial wounds. He clearly put in the effort."

"Brother Wang is naturally intelligent; such progress is quite normal."

"Hmm... That Ninth Grade heaven and earth treasure, although I don't know its exact value, its compatibility is perfect, and it served a great purpose. One thing at a time... The Spirit Stones you owed me some time ago, let's just write them off."

"Thank you, Wang Family Uncle."

Wang Chen nodded and continued to ask,

"You may continue. What important matter is it? Black Horn Mountain has been bustling lately. If it weren't for something important, I imagine you wouldn't have come here."

Shen Li nodded, his eyes thoughtful, then he softly uttered a sentence,

"I killed some Righteous Path Cultivators... they were Sword Cultivators... from the Cloud Sea Sword Sect... a true disciple of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Chen's teacup instantly shattered into powder, and he then asked in disbelief,

"What was his name? What was his cultivation Realm? A true disciple... did he have a Sword Pill?"

Shen Li nodded.

"Murong Yunhai, Refining Qi, he had already consumed a Sword Pill named Gengjin."

"Such a person, Nephew... can you handle him? Even this old man... would have to weigh it."

"He also had a Low Grade Magical Artifact... named Hancun."

"Nephew... don't joke with this old man, this kind of joke isn't funny!"

Wang Chen only felt a wave of absurdity.

Although Art Cultivators had mysterious and bizarre methods, they absolutely could not deal with Sword Cultivators.

Sword Cultivators had extremely strong destructive power and were incredibly fast... In the Qi Refining Realm, Sword Cultivators were invincible, there was simply no other adjective.

And this Shen Family Immortal Seed... said he killed a true disciple of the Sword Sect who was at Refining Qi, controlled the Yunhai Sword Art, wielded a Magical Artifact, and had consumed a Sword Pill?

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed impossible!

Seeing this, Shen Li... helplessly explained the whole story.

Of course, he concealed some key details, such as the Sword Pill he had already prepared to hide, the human skin scroll... and the Demonic Path Cultivator invading his Sea of Consciousness, etc.

Wang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, then he said,

"This matter is not trivial. I need to report to Immortal Master. You wait here..."

"Yes..."

Wang Chen hurriedly walked out of the hall, and Shen Li sat upright in the chair.

Not long after, a gentle breeze swept in, and a middle-aged figure wearing an earthy yellow Daoist robe quietly stood in the hall.

Looking at Shen Li... there was even a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"For no reason... why did you cause another problem?"

Shen Li rose to bow, then recounted the whole story.

Afterward, he took out the Gengjin Sword Pill, the Yunhai Sword Art, and the Low Grade Magical Artifact from his Storage Pouch.

He also produced the Duopo Drawing... proving that everything was true, then stood nervously in place.

Immortal Sen Yan's expression remained normal, and he motioned for Shen Li to sit down.

"The methods of the Falling Treasure Sect lineage are extraordinary... quite mysterious."

"This Demonic Path Cultivator... should be a Demonic Cultivator from the Yin Nether Sect. Your luck is quite good; you ambushed him in advance, catching him off guard."

"Then, using his strength against him, you actually killed that Sword Sect Cultivator with your meager strength at Qi Refining Stage 5... Your talent truly surpasses that of ordinary Cultivators by a lot."

Sen Yan sighed, and Shen Li quickly said he wouldn't dare.

"Ultimately, I only relied on that Puppet to block the Magical Artifact's attack... Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have succeeded and might even have been counter-killed by him."

"No need to explain so much... Some things need to look at the cause, but some things only need to look at the result."

"You did nothing wrong in this matter... No need to admit fault. The Cloud Sea Sword Sect has always been arrogant and overbearing... To dare to act like this in our Qingchi Mountain territory, he deserved to die."

"Just as you said, 'He who kills others will himself be killed'."

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Immortal Master saying that Shen Li is temporarily out of danger?"

Sen Yan said gently,

"Naturally so... In the struggles of the younger generation, no matter how you operate, if you die, you can only blame your own inadequate methods. If some shameless person truly comes to bother you... the mountain will not just stand by and watch."

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

Shen Li pondered for a moment, then slightly cupped his hands.

"However, this item cannot remain in Shen Li's hands... I ask Immortal Master to take charge of it."

Immortal Sen Yan's gaze became strange, and he quickly understood the key point, then chuckled.

"You little rascal, you're a bit too clever."

"You clearly feel this is a hot potato and don't want to hold onto it and be targeted, so you thought of throwing it to me."

"And 'take charge'... you're probably thinking of a transaction, right?"

"Alright... This Sword Pill and Sword Art are indeed somewhat useful... quite precious."

"This Hancun Sword is also of good quality, made by a master."

"The Duopo Drawing... never mind, let all of them be handled by the Treasure Collection Pavilion."

"I still need to advise you, in the future, there will be frequent disturbances, and your cultivation is only Middle Stage... Any Opportunity you learn of, you need to think twice before acting."

"Opportunities are not lacking in Huangfeng Plains, but life... you only have one."

"Your Aptitude is now extraordinary; you are already at the Qi Refining Middle Stage, and you need to consider the matter of your Dao Foundation in the future. Cherish your life, cherish your life."

"You may go..."

Shen Li's expression was calm, and he respectfully said,

"Farewell, Immortal Master!"
