Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 117 The Great Soul-Searching Hand, Qi Xian'er

"My name is Yu Daoxuan. When you see this, I feel quite sorry. Recently, someone accidentally broke a Buddha statue while buying antiques at the Ancient Tomb Sect's Elegant Pavilion. A jade slip containing a cultivation technique fell out. The slip contained one of the six great techniques of the Demonic Path, the Great Soul-Searching Hand, which caused a sensation in half of the Immortal City."

"Senior, have you taken a fancy to this bronze Buddha? This bronze Buddha was obtained by my sect from an ancient tomb on Icefire Island. The price..."

'

"Bang!"

A disciple from the Ancient Tomb Sect came over to introduce the matter.

Before he could finish speaking, the two groups who had just fought over the jade box started arguing, and one of them smashed the jade box in front of him to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Upon seeing this, Yu Daoxuan glanced at it indifferently.

"Haha, senior, there's no need to worry. Disputes over fighting boxes are common in our shop."

The disciple who was receiving the servant laughed and began to explain.

Then he announced the price of the bronze Buddha: 330 spirit stones.

"This item costs 330 spirit stones? What are its effects and uses?"

Yu Daoxuan looked at the other party and asked seriously.

"Uh~"

"My elders say that looking at this bronze Buddha for a long time can calm the mind and spirit. It is also an object of good fortune. Placing it in the home or shop can bring good fortune to the owner, and there will be no taboos."

The disciple who was taking over was still young, and as the conversation progressed, he became increasingly insecure.

Upon seeing this, Yu Daoxuan couldn't help but recall that when he bought the Zhelong Stone Cicada, the stall owner had also been spouting nonsense and making up stories.

"This is just an ordinary bronze Buddha statue. My mother is a Buddhist, so she intended to give it to me as a gift. The price is too high."

Yu Daoxuan bargained, saying that the object looked like a bronze Buddha, but even after examining it with his divine sense, he couldn't find anything special about it.

If it weren't for the words of the Golden Stele, he certainly wouldn't have been able to discover the secret within.

Therefore, after some bargaining, the deal was finally struck at the price of thirty spirit stones.

He left the shop and went straight back to Danyuan Pavilion.

Dan Yuan Pavilion is a shop in the front and a courtyard in the back. There are several rooms behind the shop, and each room is protected by a first-order array.

Under Zhang Ling's arrangement, they found a place to stay.

After activating the room's protective array, Yu Daoxuan took out the Buddha statue he had just purchased.

The Buddha statue feels slightly heavy in the hand, and on the surface it looks like an ordinary bronze Buddha.

He followed the instructions of the golden tablet and fell to the ground.

With a snap, the Buddha statue shattered into pieces, revealing a dark purple jade slip about two fingers long and wide inside.

He picked up the dark purple jade slip and a fragment.

He ran two fingers over the fragments, examining them closely.

The exposed material of the fragments was found to be extremely peculiar; the surface looked like copper, but it felt like it was made of some kind of exotic soil.

The strangest thing is that when I used my divine sense to investigate, there were no flaws.

"Forget it, let's not delve into it further. There are many wondrous items and techniques in the cultivation world; how can one know everything?"

Yu Daoxuan put down the fragments, placed the ink-purple jade slip between his eyebrows, and probed it with his divine sense.

In an instant, a demonic cultivation technique was imprinted in his mind: the Great Soul-Searching Hand.

This Great Soul-Searching Hand technique truly lives up to its reputation as a demonic art, being extremely vicious and domineering.

Once the practitioner has mastered this technique, they can forcibly read the memories of others' souls, revealing all the secrets they know.

The soul of the person being searched will be severely damaged, ranging from becoming an idiot to dying on the spot.

Of course, there are limitations to forcibly reading the soul memories of others. A cultivator cannot use soul searching on a cultivator whose cultivation level is one major realm higher than his, because there is a difference in the soul power between the two, making it impossible to read.

If one cultivates to perfection, one can unleash the Great Soul-Searching Hand, directly extracting and refining the enemy's soul.

"This method suits me perfectly."

Yu Daoxuan murmured softly.

In the past, if you wanted to ask someone a question, you needed to use the "Questioning Talisman," and its duration was relatively short.

Now that we have this method, we can directly read other people's soul memories.

Then, Yu Daoxuan summoned the Mysterious Female Pearl and began to comprehend it.

The next day at noon, Feng San Niang returned, looking travel-worn, with one other person by her side.

"Sixth Martial Uncle, Senior Sister Qi."

Yu Daoxuan bowed to a beautiful woman in a green dress who appeared to be around thirty years old and a pretty young girl in a light yellow shirt.

present.

The young woman possessed a cool and elegant demeanor, with fair skin and a pair of bright eyes that seemed to hold the stars. Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, and she had shapely, straight legs and a flawless, white face. She was like a goddess descended to earth, utterly ethereal.

This person is none other than Qi Donglou's daughter, "Qi Xian'er".

He studied Taoism with a strange man from a young age, and therefore rarely visited the Qingyuan Sect.

Yu Daoxuan became a disciple of Qi Donglou, but they only met a few times.

"Dao Xuan, it's been almost ten years since we last met. I never expected you to have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Congratulations!"

"The beautiful woman in the green dress, Feng San Niang, said with a smile."

"It is all thanks to the sect and my master's dedicated cultivation that my junior disciple has achieved such a level of cultivation."

Yu Daoxuan replied humbly.

"Perfect timing. We were just about to seek help from other Foundation Establishment cultivators, but with Dao Xuan here, we naturally won't look for anyone else."

Feng San Niang then recounted the whole story in detail.

It turns out that when Qi Xian'er was training on Icefire Island, she discovered a Crimson Blood Fruit Tree on a secluded cliff.

However, that Crimson Blood Fruit Tree was guarded by a pair of late-stage second-tier Thunder Pattern Eagles.

So she went to find Feng San Niang in the Immortal City. Feng San Niang, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, went to check yesterday and found that the two of them were not strong enough to kill the pair of Thunder Pattern Eagles.

Therefore, they wanted to invite Yu Daoxuan to help kill the Thunder Pattern Eagle.

Yu Daoxuan pondered for a moment and then decided to agree.

In the world of cultivation, there is a sinister method that involves inviting people to join you under the guise of slaying demons and monsters, but in reality, it is a way to secretly plot against you.

Even among fellow disciples, one cannot easily agree to such a request.

The reason he agreed was that he had dealt with the two people before, knew their nature, and had no motive to harm him.

Secondly, although he appears to be in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his overall strength far surpasses that of ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Furthermore, there is a Ghost King Spider at the early stage of the second tier, which can easily escape even if it is no match for a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Finally, since he was already heading to Icefire Island anyway, this was just a convenient stop along the way.

Seeing that Yu Daoxuan had agreed, Feng San Niang and Qi Xian'er both showed satisfied smiles.

After all, collaborating with outsiders is never as good as working with your own people, especially younger colleagues with whom you have a closer relationship.

"Sixth Uncle, I wonder if Senior Brother Xuanjiao will be able to return soon? If we go together, we'll be more secure."

Yu Daoxuan thought of his senior brother Wang Xuanjiao and said again.

"I wanted to ask Jiao'er to go with us, but their team has been on Icefire Island for over a month and we haven't heard from them yet. We don't know when they will return."

Upon hearing this, Feng San Niang's brows furrowed with worry.

She had watched Wang Xuanjiao grow up since he was a child, and even personally mentored him for a period of time, so she had a very deep affection for her junior apprentice, Wang Xuanjiao.

After more than a month of no word from the other party, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan also felt a sense of worry.

Icefire Island is teeming with monsters and spirits, and even Golden Core cultivators dare not venture into the forbidden areas deep within the island.
