Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 30 Bo Li’s private meeting
Guan Minghui's reward made the Celestial Venerable of the Divine Eye extremely happy.

Lin Rui watched with envy, and when it was his turn the next day, he also searched diligently, hoping to find a spiritual herb to exchange for a Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner.

Unfortunately, spiritual herbs are not so easy to find. He searched high and low for a day and a night, but still couldn't find a spiritual herb that could rival the Vermilion Fruit.

As each of them went out, Guan Minghui secretly observed them through the vegetation in the mountains, watching what they were doing and whether anyone would take the initiative to contact them.

Sure enough, on the fifth day, when it was Yang Li's turn to go out to collect herbs, Lu Rongbo devised a plan to lead him to a valley to meet him.

Upon seeing Lu Rongbo again after more than twenty years, Yang Li was completely stunned: "Senior Sister Lu..."

Lu Rongbo was picking flowers with him to decorate their cave when she accidentally smelled a mimosa lotus and became pregnant from the essence of a spiritual stone. She was pregnant for twenty-one years until a few years ago when she used a flying sword to cut open her ribs and take out the baby, which she named Shisheng.

For years, the mother and son have been cultivating themselves in the cave.

Lu Rongbo did not tell Shisheng about his maternal grandfather. She only ordered him to stay in the cave and not to go anywhere, especially not to go near Lingyu Cliff to the north. She herself occasionally went out to collect herbs, but she always returned quickly.

She had been carefully observing the situation at Lingyu Cliff, and upon seeing Yang Li emerge today, she immediately rushed over to meet him.

When the two reached a secluded spot, they asked each other how they had been doing all these years.

Each of them recounted their experiences and what had happened with immense sorrow. When Lu Rongbo asked about her father and the demon corpse, Yang Li answered truthfully: "Uncle Lu was killed by the demon corpse, and his primordial spirit was stored on the banner. We haven't seen each other since then. Now the demon corpse wants my master to refine medicine to cleanse his body and temper his soul."

Upon hearing that her father's primordial spirit fruit had been taken away to refine evil magical artifacts, Lu Rongbo, whose eyes were already red, burst into tears even more: "I want to kill that demonic corpse to avenge my father and rescue him. Junior brother, do you think there's any opportunity?"

Yang Li shook his head with a wry smile: "There is absolutely no possibility. More than twenty years ago, even Uncle Lu was no match for that demon corpse. In recent years, that demon corpse has become more and more powerful and has even refined several powerful magic weapons. Even if Uncle Lu were to be resurrected, together with you and us, we would still be no match for that demon corpse."

Lu Rongbo spoke of Hua Yaosong: "That senior was entrusted by the Long-browed Immortal to guard the demon corpse in this area. She has already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage and attained the Earth Immortal rank. She is not far from ascending to immortality. If she takes action, and we join forces to kill the corpse, we can succeed."

Yang Li was both surprised and delighted after hearing this: "Since there is such an expert, it should be enough, right? But the demon corpse is cunning and has high magic power, so it should not be underestimated. I have to go back and ask my master."

Guan Minghui knew everything about their secret meeting, including every word they said.

He pretended not to know anything, and when Yang Li returned, he rewarded him with a Vermilion Fruit, claiming that the medicinal herbs he had collected were of high quality.

Yang Li was initially filled with anxiety, fearing that the demon corpse would notice something. Only after obtaining the Vermilion Fruit did he feel completely at ease. He then secretly went to his master to discuss the matter with him.

When it was his turn to go out again, he had to see Lu Rongbo every time.

The two secretly met primarily to plot how to kill the demon corpse, and secondly, to jointly refine magical artifacts.

Over the years, Lu Rongbo has regarded the demonic corpses in Lingyu Cliff as the first enemy she wanted to eliminate in her life, and has been refining magical artifacts specifically designed to subdue the demonic corpses and evil spirits.

Yang Li is a demon corpse. After more than 20 years of cultivation, he has refined a Xuan Yin inner core in his abdomen, making him invulnerable to blades and spears, and possessing immense strength. He has also refined a Black Fiend Sword.

The two practiced and simulated how to kill the demon corpse, analyzed its weaknesses, and devised a way to forge a targeted treasure.

With all their time spent on this, Yang Li had no time to gather herbs. Lu Rongbo would gather the herbs in advance, even more than the amount Guan Minghui had stipulated, including a few particularly rare ones, which Yang Li would then take away. Guan Minghui was very happy to receive these herbs gathered by Lu Rongbo, which were both plentiful and of high quality. He would always praise Yang Li and reward him, encouraging others to learn from Yang Li.

That day, it was Yang Li's turn again, and he went to meet Lu Rongbo in secret.

Beside Lu Rongbo appeared a white-haired Taoist nun holding an iron staff, whom Lu Rongbo introduced as Hua Yaosong, the Fairy of the Green Bag.

Yang Li quickly bowed.

Hua Yaosong stared at Yang Li for a few moments, thinking to herself, "This child is a good seedling for cultivation, but unfortunately he has gone too far astray and his foundation for cultivation is completely destroyed. He will have to undergo another tribulation before he can return to the right path."

She asked about the situation inside the cave, and Yang Li explained it to her in detail again.

Lu Rongbo asked, "What exactly does Uncle Cui mean? You were vague about it last time, and Aunt Hua insists on asking you in person to put her mind at ease."

Yang Li was quite helpless. He went back and tried to talk to Cui Haike, but Cui Haike didn't even want to listen. Only after Yang Li kept pestering him did Cui Haike say, "The divination shows that it is not far off for us, master and disciple, to escape our predicament."

But we can't force it; we can only wait, wait for the right moment. Like a stranded boat, when the tide comes, it will naturally be freed. Otherwise, forcibly moving it will not only fail to return it to the sea, but will also result in the boat breaking and people perishing!

Yang Li said, "Since the divination shows this, doesn't it further prove that Granny Hua and her group are the prevailing trend, the tide? Shouldn't we go with the flow and help them kill the demon corpse?"

Cui Haike simply shook his head: "I can't figure out the specifics either, but that's how the divination is."

Yang Li refused to give up and tried to persuade him several times. Cui Haike was afraid that Guan Minghui would find out and expose him, so he suggested: "Go and tell Fellow Daoist Hua that Daoist Kutie was once enlightened by Zen Master Bai Mei and turned to Buddhism. They can also be won over. Also, to kill the demon corpse, you can first remove its wings."

Yang Li then relayed these two messages to Lu Rongbo and Hua Yaosong.

He could only exchange messages when it was his turn to go out and collect herbs, and many days passed between these exchanges.

During this time, Guan Minghui was not idle either. He used the black silk to search and explore all directions from underground. In addition to locking down the location of the Green Chain Sword, he also found a dragon.

A black dragon, ten zhang long, was sealed by an immortal in a mountain valley and buried deep underground.

Now that the seal has loosened, it is almost time for it to be born.

This dragon belongs to the Lilong genus. We can capture it and refine the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner. Although it has not yet cultivated the Dragon Pearl, we can simply give it the Alligator Dragon Pearl and integrate it into the banner.

It just so happens that this dragon also cultivates the Earth Fire Inner Core. Although fusing it with the Earth Attribute Alligator Dragon Pearl is not the optimal solution, it can still be used to refine another seventh-level Profound Yin Gathering Beast Banner!

On this day, it was Shenmu Tianzun's turn to go out and collect herbs. Guan Minghui suddenly remembered something and instructed him: "Go and find me a place called Tiancan Ridge, which is also in this Mangcang Mountain. Go to that ridge and find Wanzai Kongqing for me."

Guan Minghui told Shenmu Tianzun the information he remembered about Wanzai Kongqing and Taiyi Yuanjing, and asked him to go find them. He then led the remaining five people to prepare to work together to slay the dragon and refine the treasure.
