"The top-tier spatial crystal stone and the thousand-year illusory dragon crystal ginseng are also not available in the Sky Palace Sect."
Shangguan Ruolin added, "The Eternal Realm of the Sky Palace Sect is merely built with high-quality spatial crystal stones. If you want to find top-tier spatial crystal stone and illusory dragon crystal ginseng, I'm afraid in the whole of Great Cloud, only the Great Fortune Sect has these two divine items at the same time."
Great Fortune Sect?
Shu Han asked as he heard Shangguan Ruolin's murmur, "Gui Li also once mentioned the Great Fortune Sect to me, saying that I am a disciple of the Great Fortune Sect. What exactly is this Great Fortune Sect?"
"The Great Fortune Sect is one of the top sects in the Great Cloud. The Golden Light Divine Incantation and the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword originate from this sect."
Shu Han was confused, "Aren't you from the Sky Palace Sect? How did you get involved with the Great Fortune Sect?"
At this point, Shangguan Ruolin stood up and regained her unique cool beauty.
"Shu Han, there are some things about you that I will not ask too much. Therefore, if I don't talk about my things, don't ask too much, okay?" She then said to Shu Han, "Go and see what the demon cultivator left behind, and then we must hurry back to Zhang Village. We are not far from the Purple Sun Sect here, and we might be discovered by other cultivators."
Shu Han nodded, and together with Shangguan Ruolin, they searched for the relics left behind after Gui Li's explosion. They found that suona in the forest.
This suona was called Soul Snatcher, and it was the life bound magic treasure of Gui Li. Now that he was dead, this magic treasure had greatly lost its spirituality, but its power was still considerable.
Shu Han thought that with this magic treasure if he could repair the other two music magic treasures and gather the other auxiliary materials, the Silent Heartbreak Formation could be completed.
Then he found the two evil ghost hammers, which were a solid magic treasure of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Although this magic treasure did not match Shu Han's cultivation methods, its power was far superior to that of the Pursuing Sword and the Black Claw.
Finally, Shu Han found Gui Li's storage bag. What struck him as odd was that apart from the necessary spirit stones and basic pills, Gui Li's storage bag did not have any other reserves.
This felt very strange to him. A late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator only had this amount of storage? Even poorer than his cheap "master" Cheng Yuhuan!
Shangguan Ruolin said, "A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator absolutely cannot only have this amount of belongings and a cultivator's treasures are usually carried with them to ensure safety. The only explanation for his situation is that when he entered the Immaculate Realm, he didn't plan to come out."
"Is this Gui Li's avatar?"
Shangguan Ruolin shook her head, "It doesn't seem so. If it really was an avatar, then the skill of this cloning technique would surpass your Triple Rotation avatar. The Devil Music Sect does not have this ability, this is his true body."
"But theoretically, the demon cultivators infiltrate the Purple Sun Sect to gain benefits in the Immaculate Realm. Why would a demon cultivator take a one-way trip?"
Shangguan Ruolin said, "I don't know about this either, but there must be something strange when things are abnormal. But to abandon a precious late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, you can imagine how much the Devil Music Sect is plotting this time!"
"Shu Han, or let's forget about this Immaculate Realm this time..."
This stunned Shu Han. Initially, Shu Han was unwilling to risk the Immaculate Realm, and it was Shangguan Ruolin who tricked and threatened him into going.
Now, Shangguan Ruolin occasionally revealed the idea of not wanting to go to the Immaculate Realm, which made him feel very confused.
"Linlin, this is not like you, why do you always want to back down? After my injury recovers in half a year, I will practice two arrays that can trap late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. With your Golden Core's assistance, and the absence of Golden Core cultivators in the Immaculate Realm, we still have a chance to fight!"
Shangguan Ruolin: "I... I'm afraid of dying in there..."
Hearing this, Shu Han laughed, "You're really bad at lying. Having known you for half a year, would I think you are someone who fears death? You have a noble status, the protection of the Sky Palace Sect and the Great Fortune Sect, yet you chose to traverse the Great Cloud alone, exploring various dangerous places. Now you're telling me that you're afraid of death? Are you the Shangguan Ruolin I know?"
Shu Han looked at Shangguan Ruolin's gloomy face and comforted her, "I know, you're afraid something will happen to me in there. But my cultivation method, if I can't form a Golden Core in the future, it's the same as death. Isn't that what you told me at the beginning?"
Shangguan Ruolin's face flushed red, and she said, "That was me lying to you. There are many ways to reduce the bottleneck of forming a Golden Core, there's no need to stubbornly cling to the Heavenly Creation Fluid. In fact, my Golden Core staying inside your body for half a year is enough to increase your chance of forming a Golden Core by 30%. I'm absolutely sure that I can help you form a Golden Core in the future!"
"And after forming the Golden Core?"
Shangguan Ruolin was stumped by this question.
Shu Han affirmed, "Who told you that forming a Golden Core is my final goal? After forming the Golden Core, there are so many realms waiting for me to explore and break through, all of which require the support of rare treasures. The Immaculate Realm is so rich, even if it's not for helping you, I would find an opportunity to enter the Immaculate Realm myself."
"You have quite the ambition!"
Shu Han hugged Shangguan Ruolin's shoulder and comforted, "Let's prepare well. Trust me, there will be no problem. I've come through even the most difficult situations alone, this time with your assistance, I will definitely be safe."
In the end, Shangguan Ruolin conceded.
"As you wish."
So, Shu Han returned to Zhang Village with Shangguan Ruolin, and his external incarnation returned to the Purple Sun Sect to continue hiding.
At this time, a huge upheaval was stirring within the Purple Sun Sect.
A mountain patrolling disciple discovered that Kong Tianrui died violently on the periphery of the Purple Sun Sect, and after examination, he was killed by demonic techniques. The patrol team also found the bodies of the verdict elder's disciple, the early-stage Foundation Establishment Hou Gaozuo, and an unknown female cultivator in the bamboo forest.
The news of the invasion of demon cultivators made the people in the Purple Sun Sect panic. So, the sect immediately launched an internal sweep.
Shu Han's external incarnation entered the Purple Sun Sect again, was frisked three or four times by a few old men before being allowed to pass, and was only released after confirmation.
However, after a round of sweeping, they did not find any traces of demon cultivators.
This left the head of the Purple Sun Sect, the late-stage Golden Core cultivator Master Purple Sun, puzzled.
The inspection was carried out by all the Golden Core cultivators of the Purple Sun Sect. If there were demon cultivators lurking in the Purple Sun Sect, they would definitely not escape the eyes of the Golden Core cultivators.
But after a half-day of searching, they found nothing. Did the demon cultivators come to the Purple Sun Sect, kill a few people, and then run away?
That didn't make sense. Weren't they supposed to be aiming for a spot in the Immaculate Realm?
Meanwhile, inside the Devil Music Sect, the leader of the Devil Music Sect, a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator, awoke from his meditation.
He was over six thousand eight hundred years old this year, but he looked like a young man, with a handsome face and the demeanor of a young scholar.
"Gui Li is dead... Could he have been discovered by that Purple Sun? Pass on my order! Bring Gui Wu to me."
Before long, a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivator knelt before him.
"Disciple, Gui Wu, greets the sect leader."
"Gui Li is dead. You go to Purple Sun Sect to take his place. And, find out the cause of his death."
The leader of the Devil Music Sect's clear eyes flashed with a cruel light, "Those people at the Purple Sun Sect are not assisting me properly. If this kind of thing happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless. Tell them, with a word, I can spare their lives, or with a word, I can take their lives."
"The top-tier spatial crystal stone and the thousand-year illusory dragon crystal ginseng are also not available in the Sky Palace Sect."
Shangguan Ruolin added, "The Eternal Realm of the Sky Palace Sect is merely built with high-quality spatial crystal stones. If you want to find top-tier spatial crystal stone and illusory dragon crystal ginseng, I'm afraid in the whole of Great Cloud, only the Great Fortune Sect has these two divine items at the same time."
