Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 126 Divine Transformation Calligraphy
In the following days, Song Yan's life returned to normal.

Aside from daily patrol duties, they focus on absorbing spiritual energy and refining their spiritual power.

Although the disciples of the six major sects have increased their patrol efforts, the original Class A Team's duties have not increased much.

Besides, with Cheng Yu dead, there's no one to trip him up right now.

We actually have more time off now.

The five demons of Cold Mountain didn't have many usable items in their storage bags; they had very few truly usable elixirs.

However, they had quite a few spirit stones; the five of them had a total of over three hundred spirit stones.

He left behind an illusion array plate, and sold off the rest of the demonic cultivator's items in Huangshan Market, collecting a total of over 460 spirit stones.

Quite considerable.

In fact, Song Yan hadn't anticipated any of this.

That is, there is actually no need to prepare too many resources for garrisoning Changping.

Because there simply isn't enough time to transform resources into one's own strength.

For example, right now, Song Yan has no shortage of cultivation resources.

However, due to the existence of patrol duties, he could only guarantee his basic daily cultivation.

To go into seclusion is simply a pipe dream.

……

Over the past four months, Song Yan's main inspection area has been Chengjia Village.

Next, due to a change in duties, it will be his turn to inspect Shiguping.

Shiguping is considered the most dangerous village near Changping.

Because it is closest to the Bone Abyss.

Sometimes Song Yan would wonder why so many ordinary people lived near such a dangerous place.

Later, it was Dai Rui who told him.

On the one hand, although the Corpse Cave is dangerous, monks from the Hwado Temple are stationed there year-round.

Few demons would dare to openly come out and do evil.

On the other hand, the vast area outside the Corpse Bone Abyss is considered to be very fertile land within the entire Changping County.

It is very suitable for farming.

Moreover, the demon cultivators of Corpse Abyss have no interest in mortals.

Only the bodies of cultivators, nourished by spiritual energy, have the "opportunity" to become food for demons.

Let's go back a few decades.

In the history of Shiguping, there was even a very strange phenomenon.

That is, the demonic cultivators want to use the mortals here as resources to cultivate demonic arts or refine evil treasures.

The demons of Corpse Abyss simply used this as bait to lure the demon cultivators there, and then slaughtered them.

Very few ordinary people die in this process.

Most of those who died were demonic cultivators ambushed by demons.

A very unique and somewhat bizarre ecosystem.

Yet it exists in this place just like that.

This makes Shiguping the place with the most ordinary people among the surrounding villages and towns.

This day.

Song Yanzheng and Li Qingfeng were patrolling Shiguping together.

"Old Song, according to you, you'll be able to return to the sect in four months?"

Seeing him nod, Li Qingfeng was somewhat surprised: "How come it's so fast..."

"Is it that easy to kill a demonic cultivator?"

He muttered to himself, patting the large black pot on his back, looking somewhat eager to try it out.

The ordinary people in Shiguping Village knew about the inspection by the disciples of the Six Sects.

After all, it has been almost a year since the six gangs jointly moved into Changping.

These mortals remained very respectful to the patrolling cultivators who appeared from time to time, but they were no longer as surprised as they had been at the beginning.

A thought crossed Song Yan's mind, and she turned her head slightly to look back.

But nothing was found.

Thanks to his powerful divine sense, he has been feeling something unusual these past few days, as if someone has been watching him from behind.

Demon cultivator?

Not too possible.

With the current level of patrolling, it's likely that only a Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator would dare to show their face near Changping County.

The Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator staring at him made no sense at all.

So, does this mean that among the six sects, someone has become suspicious of me?
It doesn't matter.

Song Yan had no intention of having any further contact with Gou Sheng.

"oops……"

A cry of surprise.

An elderly farmer, pushing a cart, stumbled and bumped into Song Yan, who was lost in thought.

Song Yan was naturally unharmed. However, the old farmer came to his senses, looked at him with fear in his eyes, and knelt down with a thud.

"Ah... Immortal, spare me! Immortal, spare me!"

"You little brat, you're blind! You deserve to die!"

It was as if this immortal would punish him to death on the spot if he was displeased.

But Song Yan casually waved his hand and said, "It's alright."

With a little spiritual power, he lifted the old man who was kneeling and kowtowing.

Seeing that the old farmer's cart piled with straw and hay had not overturned, he and Li Qingfeng slowly walked away.

"Thank you so much, Immortal, for sparing my life! Thank you so much, Immortal, for sparing my life..."

Only after the two immortals left did he start pushing the cart again.

They returned to their own house.

Click.

The bolt on the wooden door is engaged.

Inside the small house, a soundproof array was erected.

The old man's appearance gradually faded away like a gray mist in the breeze, revealing Liu Ciming's appearance and figure.

With a blank expression, he followed the passage hidden within the illusion array beside the stable and entered the cellar.

A candle suddenly lit up in my hand.

In the darkness of the cellar, a figure stood, turning slightly to the side upon hearing footsteps behind him.

"Brother Jin, how have you been?"

With a flick of his spiritual power, Liu Ciming caused a burst of spiritual light to illuminate the cellar.

The photo revealed Jin Tianya's face.

"Heh heh..." Jin Tianya's voice was a little hoarse: "What, can I leave now?"

"..."

Liu Ciming didn't speak, then said in a relaxed tone, "Haha, not yet."

"How long are you planning to keep me here?!"

It's clear that Jin Tianya's condition is very unstable.

"Brother Jin, please calm down..."

Despite the roar of a Qi Refining stage cultivator, Liu Ciming did not lose his temper.

"You took such a great risk to bring out a copy of the 'Hell Transformation Diagram.' Once you return to the Demon Ruins, you will surely gain Master's favor and rise rapidly in the sect in the future."

"Stop talking nonsense... I just want to know, when can we go back?"

Liu Ciming quickly reassured him: "At most three to five days, we will be able to leave Changping and be teleported back to the Demon Ruins."

"However, Brother Jin, you must tell me, what exactly is the mystery behind this Hell Transformation Diagram?"

After hearing Liu Ciming's description, Jin Tianya seemed to calm down a little.

He snorted coldly and sat back down on the ground: "If I tell you, you'll kill me instead. Wouldn't that allow me to keep this treasure for myself?"

Liu Ciming remained expressionless: "Brother Jin is joking."

"If I kill you, how will I explain it to my master...?"

Jin Tianya remained silent.

"Besides, who in the other courtyard lineage doesn't know that Brother Jin returned alive from the Central Region? Are you afraid I'll steal your credit?"

Silence again.

The so-called riot in the Central Region ended in failure for the demonic path.

Only he, being too weak, managed to steal only a painting, not a treasure, and thus managed to escape.

He seemed to have made up his mind and slowly began to speak.

"The Hell Transformation Diagram..."

"It is a piece of calligraphy left by Wu Daoxuan, a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm of the Central Region, when he was young."

Liu Ciming's eyes narrowed suddenly.

what? !

Nascent Soul Realm?!

Although it was left when I was young...

But Liu Ciming's heart continued to beat rapidly and uncontrollably, and he even wondered if he had misheard.

God!

Jin Tianya seemed to have anticipated Liu Ciming's reaction, and with a cold laugh, continued speaking.

"The temple where the original painting was located was destroyed many years ago."

"This is the only remaining painting. It is said that he copied it himself to dispel the fierce aura of the original painting."

Jin Tianya glanced sideways slightly: "It is said that in this painting..."

"It contains clues about Wu Daoxuan's former residence."

Some readers have commented that the update times are a bit irregular, and suggested changing them to 8 AM and 8 PM.
