Chapter 155 A Generous Reward (Please Subscribe!)

Although Shi Ningyu felt that the Hundred Weapons Sect could not trace them, she would still kill Su Yu and Tie Chi before they left the inheritance site, just to be on the safe side.

After Shi Ningyu used the Jade Soul Cold Light technique to transform Su Yu into a jade statue, she and Lu Cheng'an exchanged a glance.

Lu Cheng'an instantly understood the meaning in Shi Ningyu's eyes. At this moment, he once again activated the power of the Sumeru Mountain Seal and attacked the iron pool.

Tie Chi was a level above Su Yu in strength, and he made the same choice as Su Yu when faced with Lu Cheng'an's attack.

The subsequent violent impact destroyed the seal on which he was located.

Without uttering a single word, Shi Ningyu attacked Tie Chi the instant he emerged from the sealed space.

Soon after, Tie Chi's body also turned into a jade statue and collapsed not far from Su Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's hurry up and search this place thoroughly, and then leave immediately!" Shi Ningyu said in a deep voice.

Lu Cheng'an naturally had no objections. There were no treasures in the courtyard, so he and Shi Ningyu rushed directly into the room inside.

"This is a high-grade, third-tier Soul Nourishing Array!"

Before Lu Cheng'an and his companion could even enter the room inside the courtyard, they were blocked by a high-grade third-order formation.

The third-tier superior-grade Soul Nourishing Array is a formation specifically designed to nourish the soul of cultivators. This type of spiritual array is used by Golden Core cultivators who have lost their physical bodies.

In addition to nourishing the soul, the Soul Nourishing Array also possesses extremely powerful defensive capabilities.

However, the Soul Nourishing Array set up by Master Liuyun may have encountered significant problems due to the excessive time required.

Even so, it was not an easy task for Lu Cheng'an and his companion to break it open.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, can you break this Soul Nourishing Formation?" Shi Ningyu asked.

Lu Cheng'an did not answer immediately. He silently sensed the Mount Sumeru Seal above the courtyard and then realized that the Mount Sumeru Seal had a very deep connection with this third-grade high-quality soul-nourishing formation.

The Mount Sumeru Seal is the core of this place. With the power of the Mount Sumeru Seal, a gap can be opened in the Soul Nourishing Formation.

After secretly investigating for a while, Lu Cheng'an told Shi Ningyu the results of his investigation.

"Then please, Fellow Daoist Lu, take a look and see if you can break this high-grade third-tier Soul Nourishing Array!"

Shi Ningyu looked into the Soul Nourishing Array. The array did not obscure the contents of the room, and the furnishings inside were very simple.

In the center of the Soul Nourishing Array was a dark purple coffin, which was made from the second-grade top-quality spiritual material, Soul Jade.

A second-tier top-grade Soul Jade is also a spiritual material that nourishes a cultivator's soul; however, the power contained in this material cannot be refined and absorbed by the cultivator.

The dark purple soul jade coffin was sealed, and Shi Ningyu could not see the inside of the coffin.

However, she could guess that there must be a third-tier Soul Nourishing Wood inside.

Otherwise, a coffin made solely of a soul-nourishing array and soul jade would not have been able to preserve the remnant soul of True Immortal Liuyun for such a long time.

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly. He made hand seals and, based on the incomplete memories left in the soul essence of True Person Liuyun, began to use the power of Mount Sumeru Seal to break through this third-grade high-quality soul-nourishing array.

A moment later, a grayish-white light was released from the Mount Sumeru Seal. This light fell on the Soul Nourishing Array, and then a gap appeared in the Soul Nourishing Array.

With a deafening roar, the relatively intact third-tier high-grade spirit array completely collapsed the instant a gap appeared in the Soul Nourishing Array.

Shi Ningyu and Lu Chengan's eyes met, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The Soul Nourishing Array collapsed because it was deliberately set up by Master Liuyun.

Because the targets he chose to possess were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he could only easily break the Soul Nourishing Array and obtain the wealth he had accumulated over the years by relying on the power of the Mount Sumeru Seal.

Otherwise, he would face the same problem as Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu: unable to break through the soul-nourishing array he had set up and obtain the treasures left behind by his previous life.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful. Let's go take a look now!" Shi Ningyu said in a deep voice. She did not waste any time and took the lead in walking towards the coffin made of soul jade.

At this moment, the array power covering the coffin disappeared, and Shi Ningyu easily opened the sealed coffin.

"It really is a third-grade Soul Nourishing Wood, with a grade of third-grade upper quality. It's a pity that its power is severely depleted, and it can't even compare to a third-grade lower quality Soul Nourishing Wood!" Shi Ningyu sighed.

It was a wooden pillow made of third-grade superior soul-nourishing wood, and the pillow was placed under the head of Liuyun Zhenren's corpse.

Perhaps due to the Soul Nourishing Array, even though Master Liuyun has been dead for so many years, his body has not shown any signs of decay.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I want to take these Soul-Nourishing Woods!" Shi Ningyu said in a deep voice.

Spiritual objects that nourish the soul are extremely difficult to find, and this is the only spiritual object that Shi Ningyu has found so far that can nourish the soul.

"This was agreed upon before we entered the Hong'e Mountains, so Fellow Daoist Shi, please feel free to keep it," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He had just refined the soul essence of True Person Liuyun, and his spiritual power had been greatly enhanced.

It is not appropriate to refine the Soul-Nourishing Wood to enhance the power of the soul now, otherwise problems may arise.

After hearing Lu Cheng'an's agreement, Shi Ningyu felt slightly relieved and immediately put away the wooden pillow made of the soul-nourishing wood.

After Shi Ningyu put away the Soul-Nourishing Wooden Pillow, Lu Cheng'an also took out the storage ring that Liu Yun Zhenren was wearing on his thumb.

There is also a divine imprint left by True Person Liuyun on it. The power of this divine imprint is very strong. Even though True Person Liuyun's remnant soul has dissipated, Lu Cheng'an still failed to break the divine imprint directly.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, why don't you try to break the divine sense imprint left by True Immortal Liuyun?"

After trying it out, Lu Cheng'an handed the storage ring to Shi Ningyu.

Shi Ningyu cultivates the Void Yang Soul Refining Technique, so her spiritual power is likely much stronger than his.

"Keep this storage ring for now, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Shi Ningyu did not rush to break the divine sense imprint left by True Person Liuyun in the storage ring. Instead, she quickly said, "Let's search this place again to see if there are any other treasures."

The Soul Nourishing Array covers a considerable area, but its main purpose is to nourish the remnant soul of True Person Liuyun.

After the Soul Nourishing Array was destroyed, the only thing left in the vast space was the coffin made of Soul Jade where True Person Liuyun lay; there was nothing else.

It can be said that all of Liu Yun Zhenren's wealth is contained in this Soul Jade Coffin.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu quickly searched the surrounding area, but they found nothing. At this point, Lu Cheng'an began to strip off the robes worn by Master Liuyun.

The robe worn by Master Liuyun was a high-grade, third-tier robe called the Crimson Cloud Robe.

Besides this top-grade third-tier crimson cloud robe, True Person Liuyun was also wearing a set of gilded soft armor underneath.

The gilded soft armor is of a higher grade; it is a top-grade third-tier defensive magic weapon.

The Crimson Cloud Robe and the Gilded Soft Armor were extremely valuable. Lu Cheng'an did not mind that they had been worn by Liu Yun Zhenren, and quickly took action to remove these two treasures from Liu Yun Zhenren's corpse.

After that, Shi Ningyu violently threw Liuyun Zhenren's corpse out of the Soul Jade Coffin and quickly put the Soul Jade Coffin into her storage bracelet.

This Soul Jade Coffin was crafted from second-tier top-grade Soul Jade. Although the Soul Jade was only second-tier top-grade, its value was not much different from that of the Crimson Cloud Robe and the Gilded Soft Armor.

After all, materials that nourish the soul are hard to find, let alone a coffin made entirely of second-grade top-quality soul jade.

After collecting all the valuable items in the room, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu began to dispose of Liu Yun Zhenren's body.

In his lifetime, Liu Yunzhen was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm. His physical strength was extremely powerful, comparable to a third-tier magic weapon.

However, he had been dead for a long time, and it was only because of the Soul Nourishing Array and the Soul Jade Coffin that his body was kept from decaying.

However, now that these two treasures have been removed from his protection, Master Liuyun's body has begun to decompose rapidly.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu accelerated the process, releasing Foundation Establishment True Fire at the same time. The surging flames enveloped Liu Yun Zhenren's corpse and quickly burned it to ashes.

After disposing of Liu Yun Zhenren's body, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left the room and began to deal with the bodies of Tie Chi, Su Yu, and others.

These people are all at the late Foundation Establishment stage or the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage. They come from extraordinary backgrounds and are extremely wealthy.

After looting their belongings, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu used Foundation Establishment True Fire to burn their corpses to ashes.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, could you please put away the Mount Sumeru Seal?" Shi Ningyu asked in a deep voice.

The Mount Sumeru Seal is the core of the entire inheritance site. Once the Mount Sumeru Seal is taken away, the inheritance site will completely collapse.

"Okay, but this place will collapse soon after I take away the Mount Sumeru Seal. We need to leave here as soon as possible!"

Lu Cheng'an withdrew his gaze from the Mount Sumeru seal above and looked at the jade statues that Su Yu and Tie Chi had transformed into.

The two were turned into jade statues by the second-tier spell Jade Soul Cold Light that Shi Ningyu had practiced, but they are not completely dead yet.

After sensing the meaning in Lu Cheng'an's gaze, Shi Ningyu quickly cast a spell to dispel the power of the Jade Soul Cold Light on Su Yu and the other person.

Su Yu and the other person, who were just hanging on by a thread, completely lost their lives after their bodies recovered.

At this moment, Shi Ningyu unleashed the Foundation Establishment True Fire, which instantly burned the two bodies to ashes.

The moment these two died, they were immediately noticed by the Hundred Weapons Sect and the Void Bright Sect.

Just as Shi Ningyu had predicted, Su Yu and Tie Chi were both Golden Core seeds of their respective sects, and they had left their soul tablets in their sects.

The moment Su Yu and his companion died, the soul tablets they left behind in the sect shattered, immediately detected by their sect.

However, they did not inform their sects about this operation. Even though the Hundred Weapons Sect and the Sky Bright Sect learned of the two men's deaths immediately, it was not an easy task to find out where they died.

Furthermore, the battle between the Ancient Desolate Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains has not yet subsided. The powerful Golden Core cultivators of both sects have been recruited by the Ancient Desolate Sect, making it even more difficult for them to find out where Su Yu and his companion died.

After seeing Shi Ningyu kill Su Yu and the other two, Lu Cheng'an quickly cast an extremely complex spell, instantly retracting the Mount Sumeru Seal that was floating above the courtyard.

The moment the Mount Sumeru Seal entered Lu Cheng'an's storage bag, a series of muffled rumbling sounds emanated from the surroundings, as if the space itself was about to collapse.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, let's leave here immediately!"

Lu Cheng'an wasted no time. The moment he put away the Mount Sumeru Seal, he immediately rushed out with Shi Ningyu.

The passage they had entered reappeared, but the miasma around them began to spread.

If Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had left any later, the miasma would have covered the original passage.

The toxicity contained in the bluish-green miasma was extremely strong. Although Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were both very powerful, they dared not escape unscathed from the bluish-green miasma.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they passed through the miasma-covered area and soon appeared outside the inheritance site.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu did not stop, but instead used their speed to rush out of the Hong'e Mountains.

The Hong'e Mountains are the territory of demonic beasts, and there are more than one fourth-tier demon king here.

They had achieved their goal of coming to the Hong'e Mountains, so there was naturally no need for them to stay any longer.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had been dozens of miles away from the inheritance site set up by True Person Liuyun when they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound coming from the direction of the inheritance site.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, it seems the inheritance ground has exploded!" Lu Cheng'an exclaimed in surprise.

"This must be a backup plan left by Master Liuyun. The explosion there completely concealed our traces there, which is a good thing for us!"

Upon sensing the fluctuations emanating from afar, Shi Ningyu couldn't help but smile.

After a moment of surprise, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu dared not waste any more time and rushed towards the outside of the Hong'e Mountains at an even faster speed.

The explosion was so loud that it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't attract the attention of the surrounding third-tier demonic beasts.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu were quite lucky; they left the Hong'e Mountains without any problems.

After leaving the Hong'e Mountains, they did nothing else but sped directly towards the Dan Ding Sect.

Although their journey to the Hong'e Mountains was extremely dangerous, their gains were also very substantial.

However, the situation on the road was quite urgent, and they hadn't had time to take stock of their harvest.

After Lu Cheng'an followed Shi Ningyu into the Dan Ding Sect, Shi Ningyu took him directly to Yu Du Peak where she was located.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's take stock of what we've gained on this trip!" Shi Ningyu said with a smile.
