Mortal Seeking Immortal

After Er Zhuang finished speaking, Taoist Xue Ku's face became even more gloomy. He looked at Xue Yun who was standing beside him and said coldly: "Immediately take people to block all the entrances and exits of the Da Wu Dynasty, and organize people to search for the traces of the person who killed Xue E in the territory of the Da Wu Dynasty. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find this person for me. If you can't find him, you don't have to come back."

"Of course, if you bring this person back, I will definitely benefit you."

Xue Yun immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Taoist Xue Ku waved his hand, and a flash of impatience flashed across his face: "Go down."

Xue Yun and Er Zhuang did not dare to disturb Taoist Xue Ku anymore, and immediately bowed and left the room.

In just a moment, Xue Yun gathered a lot of people in the city. According to Er Zhuang's description, he drew the appearance of Ye Zhou and Wu Yong and distributed them to everyone, and then went to the Da Wu Dynasty together with the flying instrument.

Wherever Xueyun and others passed, the demonic energy was overwhelming. Seeing this scene, all the monks in the city were horrified. They didn't know who caused the Demon Sect to send heavy troops to hunt down.

In the territory of the Dawu Dynasty, Ye Zhou took Wu Yong to the valley where he and Shu Lao lived. The valley was as quiet as ever. Except for some docile herbivores, there was no one.

The two bamboo houses built at the beginning had long been dilapidated and uninhabitable due to age. Fortunately, the surrounding bamboos were lush. Ye Zhou planned to build two more bamboo houses here. Wu Yong took the initiative to ask for orders to build the bamboo houses. Ye Zhou handed the matter over to Wu Yong, and he came to the lakeside, in front of Shu Lao's grave, to pay tribute to Shu Lao.

When Ye Zhou finished paying tribute, Wu Yong's bamboo house had been built almost, and the two entered the room to rest separately, without talking all night.

On the second morning, Ye Zhou, who had just finished meditating, opened his eyes, reached out and took out a jade box with a talisman on it from his arms. He opened the jade box and found Xue'e's storage ring inside.

Xue'e was dead, and the mark left by Xue'e on the storage ring had naturally dissipated. Ye Zhou released his spiritual sense to explore it and began to check all the items stored in the storage ring.

After a thorough investigation, Ye Zhou couldn't help but sigh that Xue'e was indeed favored by Taoist Xue Ku. There were not only many magic weapons in the storage ring, but also many elixirs, spiritual plants, and spiritual stones.

Not only that, Ye Zhou also found Zhuyun Dark Spirit Grass, Flame Spirit Pattern Coral and other natural treasures used to assist in forming elixirs. With Xue'e's ability, he would never be able to get these natural treasures. I think these were all given to Xue'e by Taoist Xue Ku.

Ye Zhou's current cultivation is already at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He will try to break through to the Core Formation Realm soon. He was worried about how to improve the success rate of Core Formation. He never thought that he would get these natural treasures. Ye Zhou couldn't help but thank Xue'e in his heart.

Ye Zhou carefully put away these natural treasures, and selected other useful pills, spiritual plants and other things from the storage ring and put them into the storage ring. He packed the rest of the unused magic tools and other things into a pile, ready to be used in exchange for spiritual stones later.

From Xue'e's storage ring, Ye Zhou also got a few jade slips of cultivation methods. These jade slips of cultivation methods are all magic cultivation methods without exception, and righteous cultivators cannot practice them.

However, Ye Zhou is not an ordinary righteous cultivator, but a cultivator of both righteousness and magic. He is also somewhat interested in the magic cultivation methods, so he released his consciousness and began to investigate these methods one by one.

In a short while, Ye Zhou had examined all of these magic cultivation techniques. Among them, only two techniques were slightly more powerful. One was the Blood River Magic Technique created by Taoist Xue Ku, and the other was the method of refining corpse puppets by the Demon Puppet Sect.

Ye Zhou only took a few quick glances and saw that the Blood River Magic Technique was very powerful. However, to practice the Blood River Magic Technique, one needs to absorb the essence and blood of other cultivators. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the faster the progress of practicing the Blood River Magic Technique.

However, Ye Zhou did not intend to practice the Blood River Magic Technique, not only because the Blood River Magic Technique in Xue E's hand was a fragment, but also because practicing this technique was too cruel and required constantly absorbing the essence and blood of other cultivators. Although Ye Zhou was not a good person, he did not want to kill other innocent cultivators because of practicing this technique.

Ye Zhou destroyed the Blood River Magic Technique with his backhand and concentrated on another technique for refining corpse puppets.

After half a day, Ye Zhou had read all the techniques for refining corpse puppets. Putting down the jade slip, Ye Zhou rubbed his brows.

There are two types of corpse puppet refining: live refining and dead refining. The steps of the two are roughly the same, but live refining is more cruel. The cultivator must be refined into a corpse puppet while he is still alive. During the refining process, the cultivator needs to endure great pain. In this way, the corpse puppet refined will have a high probability of retaining the cultivator's memory and spiritual wisdom before his death.

The three Yuanying Realm corpse puppet ancestors invited by the Demon Puppet Sect in Luoyun City were refined through live refining.

Compared with live refining, dead refining is simpler, and only the corpse and soul of the cultivator are needed.

After reading this, Ye Zhou found some disadvantages of live refining. For example, although live refining has a high probability of retaining the cultivator's memory and spiritual wisdom before his death, as the number of times the corpse puppet is used increases, the memory and spiritual wisdom retained by the corpse puppet will gradually disappear, until it finally becomes the same as an ordinary corpse puppet.

Ye Zhou finally understood why the Demon Puppet Sect was unwilling to invite the three Nascent Soul Realm Corpse Puppet Ancestors until the critical moment. The reason was that they were worried about the loss of the three Corpse Puppet Ancestors' spiritual wisdom.

Ye Zhou put away the jade slip of the technique for refining corpse puppets, and planned to wait for a suitable opportunity in the future to try to refine corpse puppets. If he could learn how to refine corpse puppets, it would be an extra layer of security for him.

Ye Zhou looked at Xue'e's storage ring, which had been emptied by him, and wanted to destroy it. But then he remembered that Wu Yong didn't have a storage ring, so he gave this storage ring to Wu Yong. Wu Yong was naturally very happy. With this storage ring, he could store more food.

Ye Zhou and his partner lived in the valley for three consecutive days. During these three days, Ye Zhou practiced the Demon God Body Forging Technique. His Demon God Body Forging Technique had just been promoted to the fourth level and needed more consolidation.

While Ye Zhou was practicing, Wu Yong was not idle either. He was either fishing by the lake or catching wild rabbits, wild deer and other animals in the mountains and forests, studying various delicacies, and not forgetting to send a portion of the newly researched food to Ye Zhou.

Wu Yong had already discovered the secret that the white mist in his dantian would help him practice actively, so now he only studied food and slept every day, and didn't worry about practice at all.

Although Ye Zhou had been fasting for a long time, he still tasted the food that Wu Yong sent with good intentions. It was indeed very delicious. It seemed that Wu Yong did have the talent to become a chef.

The small valley was isolated from the world, and the fish in the lake were very delicious. Wu Yong could not forget it after eating it once, and he would go to the lake to fish almost every few days.
