#28 - Chapter 28: Unknown Token, Great Joy
The dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight once again showered the world, as if draping it in a layer of silver brilliance.
Chen Changsheng stood before a charred corpse, his body's true energy almost entirely depleted. After adding a few more sword strikes to ensure the opponent was thoroughly dead, he heavily exhaled a long breath.
The victory, though seemingly easy, was actually extremely risky.
In summary, there were two key points: Firstly, Si Kui was too arrogant, and secondly, the thunder techniques Chen Changsheng cultivated happened to restrain Si Kui's evil arts.
Si Kui was originally a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had lived for a hundred years and should have been a cautious and life-cherishing individual, yet this time, he suffered a major setback.
He would never have imagined that in the mortal realm, a cultivator with ordinary talent would not only cultivate both body and magic, but also practice top-tier techniques, and furthermore, cultivate the most rigid and yang-aligned thunder-based spells.
What was most frustrating was that his strongest evil art techniques couldn't have the slightest impact on Chen Changsheng. His most prized ghost manipulation technique happened to clash with the thunder that subdued demons and vanquished evil.
Moreover, this thunder technique was remarkably terrifying, capable of condensing thunder from qi and blood. The blood flowing in Si Kui's body had become deadly lightning.
Even so, Chen Changsheng still won with considerable difficulty, exhausting all his resources and true energy.
As expected, one should never underestimate any cultivator when facing them in battle!
Fortunately, he had made the right gamble, finally using all his true energy to unleash a thunderous sword qi, successfully killing Si Kui.
After slightly adjusting his breathing, Chen Changsheng retrieved a jade-green storage ring from the corpse and opened it with his true energy.
There were quite a few items inside.
Besides pills, talismans, and magical artifacts, what attracted Chen Changsheng's attention the most were the hundred or so spirit stones. The stones had a light blue, crystalline appearance, like rare and precious gems.
Holding them in his hand, he could feel a rich spiritual energy transmitting into his body.
"This can be considered capital for surviving in the immortal cultivation world, but with only a hundred spirit stones, it won't significantly improve my cultivation."
Chen Changsheng then put away the spirit stones and took out a thick, bronze-colored plaque. He initially thought it was Si Kui's sect token, but it had a nine-star diagram engraved on it, with the fourth star shining red and the remaining eight stars dim.
This didn't seem like a sect token at all, but rather like a key to a mechanism somewhere.
Then, the remaining jade slips in the storage bag were examined by Chen Changsheng one by one, injecting true energy, and he couldn't help but look stunned.
《Dark Moon Spear》, 《Ghost Manipulation Soul Devouring Spirit Nourishing Art》, 《Great Joy Art》!
He skipped the first spear technique directly. Chen Changsheng, with his chat group, simply couldn't be bothered with such a spear technique.
The second 《Ghost Manipulation Soul Devouring Spirit Nourishing Art》 was the evil art that Si Kui cultivated. It required a great deal of time and effort to turn those who hated him into vengeful ghosts, then control and raise them in captivity, feeding them human souls every day to maintain their incorporeal existence.
Cultivators could extract the yin energy of the vengeful ghosts to assist in their cultivation or replenish their true energy, at the cost of feeding them even more souls.
Si Kui had killed countless innocent mortals to cultivate this art.
However, the 《Great Joy Art》 on the third jade slip was a dual cultivation technique.
It wasn't the kind of evil technique that plundered yin to supplement yang, harming others for one's own benefit, but a top-tier technique of yin and yang complementing each other and working in harmony!
"This technique is suitable for me, but I don't know if it will be effective with Madam Wang."
Chen Changsheng stroked his chin. He didn't expect this technique to have amazing cultivation effects, he only hoped that it could produce results with a mortal, since it was difficult to find female cultivators in the mortal realm.
"The reward from Luo Shiyi stated that Si Kui stole something from his senior brother. Does that thing refer to the 《Ghost Manipulation Soul Devouring Spirit Nourishing Art》? Or this 《Great Joy Art》? Or perhaps…"
"That nine-star token?"
Should he hand over Si Kui's things to Luo Shiyi in exchange for a large number of points, or pretend nothing happened and continue to live freely?
This question made Chen Changsheng hesitate for a few seconds, then he chose the latter.
Because the reward was only 10,000 points, which was very tempting to newcomers, but Chen Changsheng was already a veteran member. He didn't lack these points, and besides, 10,000 points couldn't compare to the items in Si Kui's storage bag.
The main reason for his hesitation was that he didn't know if the person chasing Si Kui would investigate Wangjiang City.
… …
Back at the Wang residence.
The red-skirted female ghost's figure was blurry, surrounded by Wang Qingjun and others, who were worried that she would suddenly attack.
"Young Master Chen is back!"
Seeing Chen Changsheng return, Wang Qingjun and the others gathered with wild joy, seemingly indicating that he had successfully killed the immortal cultivator.
The entire residence had also learned about Chen Changsheng being an immortal cultivator through Wang Jiayun's explanation, causing quite a stir and excitement.
"Miss, Si Kui is dead. It's time to leave the mortal realm."
Chen Changsheng came to the red-skirted woman and said softly.
The woman was a pitiful person, hating Si Kui but unable to avenge herself, forced to obey his commands, seeking death but unable to obtain it. This kind of torment was more painful than death.
Upon learning that Si Kui had been killed, the woman also noticed that the shackles had disappeared. A relieved smile appeared on her face beneath the veil.
"Thank you, Young Master. Your great kindness is beyond repayment. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to serve you as an ox or a horse."
The red-skirted woman knelt and kowtowed, her figure slowly dissipating into specks of light.
Chen Changsheng sighed: "There's no need for that. Just live a good life in your next life. I wish you a good reincarnation."
"Thank you for your kind words, Young Master."
Her ethereal voice faded, stirring a gentle breeze. By the time they came back to their senses, the woman was gone, as if she had never been there.
"I never expected Young Master Chen to be an immortal cultivator as well. I'm truly impressed!"
Wang Qingyi walked over with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.
In the mortal realm, immortal cultivators were like gods, even the imperial family had to treat them with respect.
"Patriarch Wang doesn't need to be so polite. I've only just begun my journey in the immortal path. Just treat me as an ordinary person. Your residence's young master is also an immortal cultivator, and his cultivation is even above mine."
Chen Changsheng returned the greeting with clasped hands, and said seriously: "That person's background is not insignificant. Under no circumstances can today's events be leaked, otherwise there will be a catastrophe!"
Everyone inhaled deeply upon hearing this.
Wang Qingyi nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, Young Master, we will treat this matter seriously."
The Wang family's ability to block information was still guaranteed. Taking Wang Lu's being an immortal cultivator as an example, only the core members of the Wang family knew about it to this day.
It could be seen that the Wang family's management was quite proper, and there had never been an internal traitor.
"The guest room has been destroyed, so we certainly can't let Young Master sleep in the wilderness. If Young Master doesn't mind, you can come to my courtyard and make do for the night."
The strong and sturdy Wang Qingjun walked over, his voice as loud as a bell, with intense admiration in his eyes.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, as if he could see the scorching scene of himself sharing a room with the strong man.
Just as he was about to politely decline, Wang Jiayun said: "Forget about Second Uncle's rough man's room. I'll arrange Young Master's accommodation."
Wang Qingyi took a deep look at his daughter, then nodded slightly.
He had long noticed the unusual relationship between his daughter and Chen Changsheng, but he pretended not to know and didn't expose it.
What kind of room could Wang Jiayun arrange? It was nothing more than sharing a room with Young Master Chen…
