One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!
Chapter 27: Harvesting the Spoils and Returning to Dragon Tiger Mountain
The old Celestial Master frowned as he looked at the Yin Soul Banner that Sun Yao handed him. Although he had already killed the man, he hadn't yet decided what to do with the Yin Soul Banner. There were no convenient methods to destroy it here. And since he couldn't let anyone else have it, he decided to take it back to Longhu Mountain.
"Keep it for now. Once we return to Longhu Mountain, we'll seal it in the Golden Hall." The old Celestial Master glanced at the Yin Soul Banner and then looked away, as if it were something unclean.
Sun Yao naturally obeyed his master's orders and put away the Yin Soul Banner. After Chen Wuji's death, the Old Celestial Master finally recovered from his rage. He was still the kind and gentle Old Celestial Master Sun Yao remembered, but now Sun Yao understood why Zhang Zhiwei had instantly knelt down when the Celestial Master had uttered the word "wicked child."
Sun Yao maintained his good habit of looting corpses. Chen Wuji was dead, but there might still be good stuff on him. Although he was smoking from the electric shock, the items might not be damaged. So, based on his experience in collecting loot, Sun Yao began searching Chen Wuji's body.
In no time, he found a small bag on Chen Wuji's body. This bag was extraordinary; it couldn't be opened by brute force. However, if one infused it with Qi, it could be manipulated and used. Inside was a spatial dimension, which appeared to be a storage artifact. Sun Yao had been wondering where he had gotten his Yin Soul Banner, and it seemed this bag was the answer.
The bag was embroidered with the words "Hundred Treasures Bag," so it was very likely that the bag's name was indeed "Hundred Treasures Bag." Sun Yao used his Qi to open the bag and found a wide variety of items inside. Among them were five books, various medicinal herbs and minerals that he couldn't quite distinguish, and poisonous insects and herbs were mixed in as well. However, he didn't know if these poisonous insects were still alive, because they just sat there motionless in the bag.
Sun Yao first took out the five books. The first one recorded the methods of weapon crafting, but most of the methods recorded in this book were unorthodox, including evil magical artifacts such as the Yin Soul Banner. Of course, there were also normal magical artifacts, such as the Treasure Pouch.
The second book was the Earth-Walking Immortal technique that Chen Wuji had just used, but his cultivation was not up to par, and he was pulled out by the Old Celestial Master.
The third book was the Seven Fiends Body Technique that Chen Wuji had just used to ambush the Celestial Master, which was also the unorthodox Maoshan cultivation method practiced by Zhao Guizhen. The Seven Fiends Body Technique required the cruel murder of seven boys, imprisoning their souls within the user's body, and slowly digesting them to transform them into their own cultivation. Before successfully digesting them, one had to ingest medicine to resist the fiendish energy during battles, thus gaining control over the souls of the seven fiendish boys to kill enemies. This method should not exist in the world; such an evil technique has caused too much harm. A raging flame rose from Sun Yao's hand, instantly incinerating the Seven Fiends Body Technique.
The fourth book is on the art of object manipulation. It's unclear whether this technique is particularly advanced, but according to the book, if mastered to its peak, one can control thirty-six throwing knives, allowing for both offense and defense. This surpasses, if not surpasses, Jia Zhengliang's twelve Immortal-Slaying Throwing Knives from Jiajia Village, as it's three times the number. It's uncertain which technique is stronger, this one or Jiajia Village's. Even if Jia Zhengliang can control twelve Immortal-Slaying Throwing Knives, given his age, he might not have reached the pinnacle of object manipulation. Jiajia Village's technique likely involves far more than just twelve Immortal-Slaying Throwing Knives.
The last book was the Heavenly Gang Steps. It was probably obtained through murder and robbery, but I never saw him use it. I don't know if he hadn't learned it yet or if he hadn't mastered it enough to dare to use it.
Overall, the gains were decent. The only shortfall was some silver, but that's insignificant compared to the treasure pouch. The value of a storage magic item is self-evident.
They encountered no further setbacks on their journey and returned to Longhu Mountain smoothly. As for Master Xu and Zheng Zibu, they were still some distance from Maoshan, but not far. From then on, only the master and disciple remained on the journey.
Sun Yao, the Old Celestial Master, and Zhang Zhiwei received a warm welcome upon their return to Longhu Mountain. The Old Celestial Master enthusiastically introduced them to his many disciples, the most famous of whom were Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi. Regardless of Tian Jinzhong's abilities, Zhang Huaiyi was later regarded by fans of the manga "Under One Person" as someone second only to Zhang Zhiwei, practically invincible.
Sun Yao was very happy to get to know these disciples of Longhu Mountain. After greeting them one by one, he was led by the Old Celestial Master to a courtyard that belonged to him alone.
"Let me tell you, among my disciples, Jinzhong is the most honest and kind. Zhang Zhiwei is too arrogant, and Big Ear Thief is very good at hiding his true strength, but both of them are quite capable. I hope you can give Jinzhong some pointers when you have time, because this kid is still a bit weaker than Zhang Zhiwei and Big Ear Thief."
"Master, what are you saying? Isn't it only right to help junior brother improve? Besides, I can not only help junior brother improve, but I can also help senior brother stop being arrogant."
Sun Yao smiled slightly and bowed to Zhang Jingqing. The Old Celestial Master laughed heartily upon hearing this, thinking that Sun Yao was indeed a remarkable person. "Well said, well said! Zhang Zhiwei should be taught a lesson about his arrogance," the Old Celestial Master said with a chuckle, patting Sun Yao's shoulder.
"Then you should rest well today. Starting tomorrow, you can do morning prayers with your fellow disciples. Morning prayers are just practicing the Golden Light Mantra, which shouldn't be a problem for you. But the day's plan starts in the morning, and you should always start strengthening your body in the morning."
"Yes, disciple will obey your orders."
"If you wish to view the ancient texts of Longhu Mountain, come and find me, and I will take you to the Sutra Repository of Longhu Mountain. That is the secret repository of the ancient texts of Longhu Mountain, where you can freely roam the sea of knowledge."
"Disciple thanks Master!"
After giving the specific instructions, the old celestial master left Sun Yao's small courtyard, seemingly having forgotten about the Yin Soul Banner.
However, Sun Yao still felt that he should take the initiative to hand over the Yin Soul Banner tomorrow. The Old Celestial Master could forget, but he couldn't, since the Yin Soul Banner was still in his hands. This was a hot potato, and handing it over as soon as possible was better than anything else.
As Sun Yao pondered this, he entered a meditative state. He had now become accustomed to using meditation to replace sleep, because he felt much more energetic after meditating than when he was awake.
