God Destroying Pearl

Soon, Song Yun arrived in front of the cave.

Song Yun stood at the entrance of the cave, looked around carefully, and then walked in cautiously.

After entering the cave, Song Yun found that the cave was larger than he had imagined, and not very small.

The light in the cave was a little dim. With the faint light coming in from the cave entrance, he saw some dry bones scattered on the ground.

Some of those dry bones have been broken, while others still retain some of their original shape.

Although the unpleasant smell of the red-eyed snow bear still lingered here, Song Yun didn't care.

He mobilized his spiritual power again, and it flowed slowly in the cave like a breeze, quickly clearing away the dust, debris and the unpleasant smell in the cave.

Song Yun looked around and pondered in his heart.

This place is relatively secluded and the environment is quite quiet, making it a good place for retreat and practice.

Song Yun turned his head and looked at Ling Que with a questioning look in his eyes, and asked: "Ling Que, I want to try to break through the Jindan stage. Do you want to retreat with me?"

The spirit bird blinked its lively eyes and nodded its head gently.

Then he said crisply: "Let me go into seclusion with you. After my strength increased to the fifth level of demon beast, I felt that there were some new things in my mind. Perhaps practicing in seclusion can help me understand these things more clearly."

Song Yun nodded.

Then, he took out a maze array purchased from Wanbao Pavilion from his storage bag.

This maze formation is small and exquisite, emitting a faint spiritual light, and the formation plate is engraved with intricate runes.

Song Yun slowly injected spiritual power into the formation plate.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the runes on the array disk gradually lit up, flashing a faint blue luster, as if they were given life.

Song Yun concentrated on setting up a maze formation at the entrance of the cave according to the method of setting up formations he learned from Wang Tianbao of Wanbao Pavilion.

His body moved quickly, and the hand seals in his hands kept changing, guiding the formation plate to merge with the surrounding environment.

I saw threads of spiritual power extending from the array plate, interweaving with the surrounding rocks and snow, gradually forming an invisible spiritual power barrier.

According to Wang Tianbao, this maze formation is not simple. It can not only cleverly hide the location of the cave, making it difficult for outsiders to detect, but even if you pass by the cave entrance, you will only think it is an ordinary snowy field.

What's more amazing is that it also has powerful defensive capabilities and can withstand the full-force attack of an ordinary early Jindan cultivator for up to a quarter of an hour.

This quarter of an hour is enough for Song Yun to come up with a countermeasure or seize the opportunity to escape.

After setting up the maze, Song Yun turned and walked into the depths of the cave and came to the side of the spirit bird.

He took out the demon beast pill and some mid-grade spirit stones he had obtained from killing the red-eyed snow bear from his storage bag, and placed them next to the spirit bird.

Then he walked to the other side of the cave and sat down cross-legged.

Song Yun took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

Then he slowly took out the storage bag of the old man who wanted to assassinate him.

He held the storage bag in one hand, shook it gently, and poured out everything inside onto the ground.

For a moment, all kinds of items were scattered all over the ground.

There are glittering magic weapons, ancient secret books, and some strange materials that Song Yun can't name.

Among these dazzling items, Song Yun's attention was suddenly attracted by a golden identity token.

The first time Song Yun saw it, he felt that it looked somewhat familiar, but he was not sure of his guess.

Song Yun quickly reached out his hand, picked up the token, and looked at it carefully.

In an instant, Song Yun's face turned gloomy, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

It really is the identity token of the Hidden Killing Palace!

I didn't expect that this person from the Hidden Killing Hall would assassinate me time and time again.

When I have the ability, I will definitely eliminate them completely.

Song Yun clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.

Song Yun had some guesses in his mind as to who had hired the people from the Hidden Killing Hall to assassinate him.

However, now is not a good time to deal with them. I will settle the score with them after I have a breakthrough in my cultivation.

Song Yun suppressed the anger in his heart and began to carefully sort out the items on the ground.

He sorted out the magic weapons, elixirs and materials, and then began to count the number of spirit stones.

After a careful count, Song Yun discovered that he had sorted out more than 600,000 low-grade spirit stones and 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart that this old man from the Hidden Killing Hall was really rich.

At the same time, in a dim blacksmith shop in Silver Snow City, the atmosphere was depressing and solemn.

The moment the assassin from the Hidden Killing Hall who assassinated Song Yun died, it seemed as if an invisible signal was instantly transmitted here.

After a while, a blacksmith dressed in coarse linen clothes hurriedly walked out of the blacksmith shop.

He looked panicked and hurried, trotting all the way towards the Liu Mansion in Yinxue City.

Soon, the guy arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion.

He explained his purpose to the gatekeeper and handed him a letter.

After the servant went in to report, he quickly entered the mansion.

Liu Shichong was in the study room in the mansion at this moment, sitting in front of the desk with a gloomy face, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, and seemed to be thinking about something in his mind.

"Master, this is a letter for you."

The servant respectfully handed a letter to Liu Shichong and then retreated.

Liu Shichong took the letter nonchalantly.

When he opened the letter and saw its contents, he was shocked.

He almost dropped the letter in his hand and blurted out involuntarily: "How is it possible!"

Dong Tianzhuo was sitting in a chair drinking tea. When he heard Liu Shichong's exclamation, he quickly put down the teacup.

He asked with concern: "What's wrong, Brother Liu, what happened?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Liu Shichong's eyes.

He glanced at Dong Tianzhuo and handed him the letter.

"See for yourself."

Dong Tianzhuo took the letter and quickly read it.

His expression changed instantly, his lips trembled slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise as well.

"How could Song Yun be able to kill a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core? This is absolutely impossible! Could it be that he has hidden his cultivation level?"

Liu Shichong shook his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Impossible, he must be in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there is no doubt about that."

"Could it be that Wang Tianbao sent someone to help him? But this is unlikely. A cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core cannot be easily invited. Wang Tianbao should not take such a big risk for him."

Dong Tianzhuo frowned and paced back and forth.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Liu, should we continue to hire assassins? The people from the Hidden Killing Hall said in the letter that if we want them to take action again, we have to increase the price."

Liu Shichong folded his arms across his chest and walked back and forth in the study room several times, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Don't rush to act. Let's secretly investigate whether Wang Tianbao has sent anyone to help Song Yun before making a decision. We can't just let this matter go. Song Yun must die, otherwise he will become a big problem for us sooner or later."

Dong Tianzhuo nodded and said, "Brother Liu is right. So where should we start investigating? Should we send someone to keep an eye on Wang Tianbao?"

Liu Shichong stopped, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Well, go and arrange a few capable people to keep an eye on Wang Tianbao first. If there is any movement, come back and report to me immediately. Also, send someone to check if Song Yun has had any contact with anyone suspicious recently."

Dong Tianzhuo responded: "Okay, Brother Liu, I'll do it right away."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the study.

Song Yun put all the things on the ground in the cave that were useful to him into the storage bag.

Then he straightened up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

He was well aware of the uncertainty of this retreat and didn't know how long he would be immersed in the path of cultivation.

Maybe it will be months, maybe years, or even longer.

During this long period of cultivation, the traces of time may quietly creep up on his face.

Although in the world of immortal cultivation, some immortal cultivators devote themselves wholeheartedly to the pursuit of strength and do not care much about their appearance, believing that it is only an external appearance and insignificant compared to their powerful strength.

But Song Yun has his own ideas. He still hopes to maintain his youthful appearance.

Thinking of this, Song Yun slowly took out a crystal clear jade bottle from his storage bag.

The mouth of the bottle is tightly plugged with an exquisite little jade stopper to prevent the spiritual energy of the elixir in the bottle from leaking out.

Song Yun gently pulled out the jade plug.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted out of the bottle and filled the entire cave.

He tilted the jade bottle slightly.

A round and smooth anti-aging pill rolled out of the bottle and lay quietly in his palm.

Song Yun gently put it into his mouth.

The pill melted in the mouth, and a cool and sweet feeling instantly spread throughout the body.

He only felt a gentle spiritual power spreading from the tip of his tongue, slowly flowing to all parts of his body, nourishing every inch of his skin and meridians.

Song Yun closed his eyes and quietly felt the medicinal power of the Rejuvenating Pill taking effect in his body.

He seemed to be able to feel that his skin became tighter and more elastic with the nourishment of spiritual power, and the fine wrinkles that might have appeared with the passage of time were also quietly disappearing.

After doing all this, Song Yun sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing and mood.

A look of concentration appeared on his face, and his eyes slowly closed as he entered a state of deep retreat.

In this silent cave, time seems to have lost its meaning.

Outside the cave, the cold wind was still howling.

The heavy snow fluttered down, covering the whole world in white ice and snow.

Winter passes and spring comes.

This is the season when everything comes back to life and is full of vitality, but in this snowy land, it seems that only winter exists.

Snowflakes kept falling, piling up on the mountains, trees and the ground, forming all kinds of strange and spectacular ice and snow scenes.

Occasionally, a few cold-resistant birds fly across the sky, making a few lonely calls, breaking the tranquility of this world of ice and snow, but they soon disappear in the vast wind and snow, as if they had never appeared.

While inside the cave, Song Yun was immersed in the world of cultivation, unaware of anything in the outside world.
