Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Seeing the two men's actions, Jiang Shi thought to himself that he should follow them, otherwise he might be exposed.

Matters concerning one's destiny should not be revealed.

However, he did not have any extra blank stone tablets.

Fortunately, he could use his magic to carve words, so he found two stone slabs and copied all the scriptures on the statue.

[Proficiency +1]

Copying the techniques can also increase your proficiency.

"Junior Brother Lu, these nine statues are still too dangerous. I suggest we stop reviving them," Liu Yue said to Jiang Shi.

Previously, Liu Yue was blinded by the divine skill manual, which led him to revive the statue and fight the centipede statue.

He only calmed down after obtaining the scriptures from the centipede statue and finding that he still couldn't understand them.

No one knows whether the remaining scriptures will still be incomprehensible.

Moreover, this matter is too dangerous. If he makes another mistake, the Liu family will be finished.

Since Liu Yue had already said that, Jiang Shi couldn't say anything on his own.

He was afraid of revealing his identity.

It's not too late to look for it later when there's another opportunity.

"Manager Liu is absolutely right. We haven't found the person behind this yet. We should definitely take this time to plan carefully and proceed with caution," Jiang Shi said.

"Speaking of the person behind it all, when did Junior Sister Lin enter this place? Did you see anyone suspicious?" Jiang Shi asked Lin Yanyi.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue also looked at Lin Yanyi, as these were the questions he also wanted to ask.

The fact that his Liu family was being targeted like this, with several demonic attacks occurring in the market town of rogue cultivators, made Liu Yue hate the person behind it all. Liu Yue wished he could skin him alive and drink his blood.

"I encountered a fog yesterday and was teleported here, but I didn't see anyone suspicious," Lin Yanyi said softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi began to plot.

"Why doesn't Lin Yanyi mention how she was bewitched in the graveyard? Did she really not see anything?"

Jiang Shi was very suspicious of Lin Yanyi.

But why is Lin Yanyi hiding it? What does she actually know?

After these questions arose, Jiang Shi found the answers in his heart.

One person appeared on his list of suspects.

Lin Feiyu, Manager Lin.

The only person Lin Yanyi could keep secret from was probably her father, Steward Lin.

Although he didn't know how Manager Lin, whose cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage, could control the Foundation Establishment stage demonic puppet.

But Manager Lin is definitely involved in this matter; perhaps his purpose is to find him.

The three sat cross-legged in front of the nine statues. Lin Yanyi and Liu Yue began to meditate to recover their magical power, while Jiang Shi secretly began to cultivate the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source".

He first began practicing the section on demon wolves from the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demon Source".

I will strive to cultivate my first demonic embryo as soon as possible.

The Demon Source Embryo is the prototype of the Demon Source.

Using this substance, and nourishing it with flesh and blood, one has a chance to refine it into a source of demonic energy and create a demonic puppet.

The scourge of the demonic path is closely related to this demonic puppet.

If he can successfully cultivate the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source," he will have a chance to survive this calamity of the demonic path.

As time passed, it was already the third day.

With three people guarding them, nothing else happened to the nine statues.

These independent cultivators and outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect have lost the spirit they had when they first entered, the same spirit they had when searching for treasure.

A sense of despair is brewing among the cultivators.

Many people wonder if they will be trapped here for the rest of their lives.

This place is so barren, there is nowhere to enjoy oneself, and no resources for cultivation.

Even ascetics are unwilling to cultivate here for an extended period of time.

Just when everyone was about to despair, the bell rang again.

Jiang Shi, Liu Yue, and Lin Yanyi stood up warily and examined the nine monster statues.

They assumed, as before, that the problem was with the statue.

However, this time, the fog that had brought them here once again seeped in.

"It's the fog! We're saved!"

"The mist brought us to this godforsaken place; who knows, it might be the way out."

Several daring cultivators ran directly into the mist.

"Perhaps this fog can really teleport us out," Liu Yue said, looking at the fog.

"It's worth a try."

Before entering the fog, the three discussed the potential dangers they might encounter and how they would overcome the difficulties together.

After the discussion, the three of them decisively led the others into the fog.

It felt the same as last time.

Cold and damp.

Dark shadows would occasionally dart out, endangering the lives of others.

Jiang Shi stood in front, circulating the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source," preventing the demonic wolf from attacking him.

Before long, Jiang Shi spotted a light, just like the one he had been teleported to last time.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Shi jumped into the spot of light.

A sensation of the world turning upside down, and the feeling of being suspended upside down, came over me.

Suppressing the nausea, he opened his eyes and found himself back in his original world.

They left that mansion.

"I'll have to go to that place sooner or later," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

He only learned two incomplete sections of the martial arts techniques from the nine statues.

There are seven more that he cannot let go of.

I must get my hands on it if I have the chance.

Jiang Shi was standing in the woods when suddenly a light shone beside him.

Jiang Shi immediately became alert, but as soon as the light faded, Lin Yanyi appeared there.

"Junior Sister Lin." Jiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile when he saw Lin Yanyi.

However, Lin Yanyi's next words made Jiang Shixin jump to his throat.

"You should call me Senior Sister, Junior Brother Jiang," Lin Yanyi said in a deep voice.

"Junior Sister Lin, what makes you say that?" Jiang Shi's smile faded and his expression darkened.

He had already taken out a second-grade superior water lock talisman from his storage bag.

He is no longer the helpless little monk he once was.

Having various methods at his disposal, he was not afraid of Lin Yanyi.

"The spell you used was created by me." Lin Yanyi showed no fear whatsoever; she didn't even take out her weapon.

Jiang Shi then realized that Lin Yanyi had discovered his secret use of the spell "Wood Generates Fire" with the Fire Feather Fan.

That's terrifying insight; he even managed to spot his problem.

Indeed, Jiang Shi was unaware that the spell [Wood Generates Fire] was Lin Yanyi's original creation.

He simply assumed it was a technique passed down within the Qingyun Sect.

That's why he used this technique in front of Lin Yanyi.

That's when his identity was exposed.

"You found out." Jiang Shi laughed, and with a transformation, he returned to his original appearance.

"Senior Sister Lin, are you going to arrest me to clean house for the Qingyun Sect?" Jiang Shi laughed again and said.

"Tell me, should I arrest you?" Lin Yanyi didn't answer the question, but instead threw the question back to Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi pondered Lin Yanyi's meaning and how he should respond.

Before he could answer, Lin Yanyi spoke up.

"Your master has been searching for you. Be careful."
