Mysterious mirror hanging high

After leaving Canxia Island, Jing Yu and others continued to move forward. This time they went to a place called [Changhu Island], which was the main seat of [Changhu Sect].

"This [Changhu Sect] is a rare sect in our Red Dust Sea. It is indeed very rare among all the Jindan families."

Song Jianxu descended from the light of escape and looked at the well-arranged sect buildings on the island with a sigh in his eyes. "The current head of Changhu Sect, Jinghu Zhenren, is a genius in governing the sect. Under his leadership, Changhu Sect has flourished day by day. Many talented people have emerged within the sect, including seven who have reached the level of Golden Core. They are also known as the Seven Heroes of Changhu Sect and have earned a great reputation."

"If it weren't for the pressure from the Feng family, Changhu Sect might actually have a chance of becoming a Nascent Soul Sect."

"I wonder if it's because Master Jinghu's methods of governing the sect are too advanced, or if the sect system is truly far superior to the family system?"

"This time we came to Changhu Sect mainly to borrow a magical jade talisman called the [Auspicious Cloud Talisman]. The auspicious cloud energy of this talisman can bring you good luck, and it will increase the probability of forming a pill and the quality of the resulting pill."

"Xuan Jing, when you enter the Changhu Sect, you must be cautious and listen more than you speak."

Song Jianxu taught earnestly, "There's a Fake Infant True Person in charge of this sect, so you must not lose your manners."

After saying that, he handed a spiritual note in. Not long after, a handsome young man in a light blue Taoist robe came walking on the waves and stopped in front of the three people.

"I was wondering whose name card it was, but it turns out it's from Master Song and Master Black Tiger in person!"

The handsome young man looked carefree. Although he was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, he was not at all nervous in front of the two great masters. Instead, his aura slightly overwhelmed them.

"Master Jinghu." Song Jianxu bowed slightly and said to Jing Yuyan, "Why don't you come and pay your respects?"

Jing Yu greeted him with a salute. Master Jinghu looked him over, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes: "What a talented person."

"In terms of solid foundation and profound magical power, I'm afraid none of the seven heroes of my Changhu Sect can compare with this person. I think it must be that young friend Ye Yulou!"

Jinghu Zhenren nodded and said, "Zhenren Song, do you think you came here to borrow the talisman for Young Friend Ye?"

"Master, please understand." Song Jianxu lowered his head and said, "I wasn't in a hurry originally, but I couldn't help but divine a few fortunes in recent years. My life span has also been reduced. I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer, so I can only come here in such a hurry."

"That's fine, but the [Auspicious Cloud Talisman] is, after all, a magical treasure. It's also a rare treasure that can bless luck. How can we give it away lightly? Is Master Song prepared to pay the price?"

Song Jianxu was silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Of course I'm ready."

"Okay, then let's do as we discussed in our letter."

Jinghu Zhenren's expression was calm: "I'll take you to see the place."

The Changhu Sect's headmaster flew with the three of them, landing on a small, isolated island hundreds of miles away from Changhu Island. He pointed to a dark cave entrance on the hillside and said with a bow, "I'm going to do this for you."

"Master Song can go in and take a look by himself. It's not convenient for us to enter this place, so we won't accompany you."

Song Jianxu nodded and said to Jing Yu:

"Just wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Song Jianxu flashed and hid in the cave entrance, his entire body submerged in the boundless darkness.

Master Black Tiger stared at the cave entrance, his expression somewhat uncertain:

"Such a rich spiritual energy... and even a hint of Yin and Dark Qi? Is there a spiritual energy vortex in here? Or a materialized spiritual vein?"

"Master, you have a good eye." Jinghu Zhenren gathered his sleeves and said calmly, "This place is called [Feathered Cave]. There are several spiritual veins intertwined within the cave. In terms of the richness of spiritual energy, it is even inferior to some Yuanying Daochang."

"Unfortunately, this place connects to the underworld and the water veins, making it a natural ghost den. It cannot provide a place for cultivators to practice, but it is very suitable for raising corpses and refining ghosts."

"The spiritual energy here is mixed with Yin and Ming energy? Fellow Daoist Song is not practicing ghost martial arts, right? How can we get in?" Master Black Tiger said anxiously.

"Master, please be patient. This cave...is actually the tomb that we, the Changhu Sect, have prepared for Master Song."

"what?!"

Master Black Tiger's expression changed drastically.

"The [Auspicious Cloud Talisman] is almost considered a treasure of our Changhu Sect. It cannot be easily loaned out."

Jinghu Zhenren sighed and said, "In order to convince my master, Song Zhenren put forward a bargaining chip that we cannot refuse."

"After Master Song passed away, he placed the remains of his golden elixir into this [Yuhua Cave] and used a special corpse refining method to gather the Yin and Ming to refine a flying zombie!"

Jinghu Zhenren's words were earth-shattering. Even Jing Yu, who had been keeping a calm face, was shocked when he heard them. His sword-like eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.

"This...why did it come to this!"

"It's just a jade talisman, it's better not to have it!"

However, Master Jinghu shook his head and said, "Don't think that our Changhu Sect is taking advantage of us. Refining corpses with the remains of cultivators requires the right time, place, and people. There's always the possibility of getting nothing in return. After all, we are also taking risks."

"And if Master Song wasn't so proficient in divination, and if he could successfully cultivate rigor mortis, with all its unique wonders, we wouldn't be tempted."

"Besides, it's just a jade talisman... It sounds easy to say, but it's actually true. It's nothing more than a little extra luck."

"Friend Ye, do you know how many geniuses throughout history have formed elixirs, downgrading from the [Purple Qi Golden Elixir] to the [Top-grade Golden Elixir], and from the [Top-grade Golden Elixir] to the [Mid-grade Golden Elixir]... From then on, the road has been drastically different. In fact, it's not entirely due to the difference in the foundation of the spiritual objects, perhaps it's just a little bit of luck!"

"Before coming to Changhu Sect, Master Song must have taken you to quite a few places, right? He's a dignified and prestigious Master of the Righteous Path, and he's always trying to get a few spiritual resources, even if it means increasing your chances by one in ten thousand!"

"So, for a junior like you, the price that Master Song paid was more than just a golden elixir."

"This hope, tinged with worry, carries a weight of immense importance. Only those who govern the clan can even begin to comprehend it." True Man Jinghu said with an unhappy expression.

"It's not something you can just say 'I don't care' and get rid of!"

Jing Yu frowned tightly. "But is it necessary to go to this extent? I still have younger generations, so I don't think I can go to this extent."

"That's a good thing. It means you're still very young and have a long way to go."

Jinghu Zhenren said quietly, "When I was your age, I also felt that being alone and free was the best. I thought the whole world owed me everything. But as I got older, I realized that all the things you have grabbed so much in this life, in fact, you can't take anything with you when you die."

"Since you can't take them away, then leave them here."

"This is not only the nourishment that Master Song gave you, but also the thought he left behind."
