The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Ye Qingyang held the "Azure Wood Longevity Technique" he had obtained from the skeleton in his hands as if it were a priceless treasure, examining it carefully. After some experimentation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this technique was perfectly suited to him, as if it had been tailor-made for him!

Although it was only an incomplete manual, it was more than enough for him, who was currently in the Qi Refining stage.

According to the information he possessed, only a mere forty percent of the original "Azure Wood Longevity Manual" remained. However, this seemingly insignificant portion contained boundless mysteries, enough to sustain his cultivation all the way to the Core Formation stage!

The Core Formation stage—that was once an unattainable, dreamlike realm. Thinking of this, Ye Qingyang felt an indescribable surge of excitement.

However, he knew that the more critical the moment, the more he needed to remain calm and restrained, and he must never let his emotions affect his judgment and actions.

So he took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated mind, and silently warned himself: "I must seize this rare opportunity, but at the same time, I must learn to restrain my brilliance and act with humility. Otherwise, I might repeat the mistakes of that predecessor and end up with a tragic death..."

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and sigh. However, despite his感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings), he silently and carefully buried the skeleton as he had intended. After doing so, he gazed into the distance once more, his eyes resolute and filled with determination—the road ahead was long, and his legendary story had only just begun...

"Fellow Daoist Fuchen! Today, I am deeply grateful for your generous gift of your life's legacy and all your possessions. Therefore, I have come to give your remains a proper burial as a sign of my respect. At the same time, I sincerely hope that when my time comes and my soul returns to the world, there will be someone like me who remembers our past friendship and goes to great lengths to bury my remains. In this way, I will be spared the suffering of being left to rot in the wilderness, forgotten and uncared for..."

After speaking, Ye Qingyang slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and began to carefully examine his surroundings. Sure enough, he soon discovered something—there was a strange array here that could conceal one's aura!

"Strange! I clearly scanned the surroundings with my divine sense just now, so how come I didn't detect the existence of this formation? It must be because this formation is too sophisticated..."

After a moment's thought, Ye Qingyang couldn't help but show a look of delight: "Haha, since Heaven intends for me to find such a treasure, how can I not go with the flow and make the most of it? Right now, I just happen to need to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion, and this formation has come at the perfect time. It can help me block out external interference and concentrate on my cultivation."

After finishing his explanation, Ye Qingyang checked everything and, after confirming that there were no problems, returned to the depths of the cave, took out all his belongings, and began to inventory them one by one.

At the very front were some throwing blades, uniquely designed with gemstones inlaid on the hilts and blades gleaming with a cold light. Ye Qingyang tried swinging them a few times and found them very easy to handle. He thought to himself that these throwing blades would definitely be very useful in battle.

His gaze then shifted to the two cultivation manuals beside him. Ye Qingyang gently raised his hand and used his spiritual power to hold the two books in front of him. The manuals were clearly written as "The True Scripture of the Blazing Sun" and "The Illusionary Escape Technique".

"These two cultivation techniques are quite good. One is suitable for fire-attribute offensive techniques, and the other is suitable for escaping. They are both excellent and very suitable for me."

Ye Qingyang then put down the book and turned his gaze to the pills. He carefully examined the instructions for each bottle and discovered that these pills were precious medicines for enhancing cultivation and healing injuries.

Ye Qingyang decided to first take some ordinary pills to improve his cultivation. After taking one pill, he began to circulate his internal energy to refine its medicinal power.

As the medicine spread, he could feel his meridians becoming more unobstructed and his spiritual power constantly increasing. Although the medicine was far from enough to break through, it did not diminish his excitement.

Ye Qingyang was secretly delighted. This time, he had gained a lot, not only obtaining precious cultivation techniques and magic treasures, but also improving his own strength.

"No wonder these cultivators love killing and robbing. Once they succeed, the rewards are substantial! Such temptations are indeed attractive." Ye Qingyang twitched the corners of his mouth, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

Then, he saw the storage bag next to him. This storage bag belonged to Fuchen Jushi, who was the skeleton, and now it also belonged to Ye Qingyang.

Although Ye Qingyang didn't know what rank it was, when he put his divine sense into it, the space inside was huge, filled with all kinds of spirit stones, pills, cultivation techniques and magic treasures, which almost blinded him.

After Ye Qingyang saw the situation inside, he was also shocked by his wealth. He was stunned for a while, feeling as if he had been hit by a huge pancake and was dizzy.

"A pie has fallen from the sky!" This thought popped into Ye Qingyang's mind, giving him a feeling of unreality.
