The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 570 - 326 1111
In the room, Senior Brother Chen was engaging in idle chat with Chun Yijing, pulling the conversation in all directions. The weaker she felt, the more he fed her this specially concocted juice. Even though Chun Yijing was at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, she was quickly overwhelmed by the potency of the drug. Her cheeks flushed as she heatedly threw herself onto him without Chen having to lift a finger.
Senior Brother Chen was aiming for just this effect. By the time Chun Yijing woke from the drug’s influence, she would only remember that it was she who made the first improper advances. Even if she were to blame him later, it would be to a limited extent.
Ning Xiaoxian frowned and said, "Ordinary drugs are ineffective against cultivators. Chun Yijing has at least the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage, this drug seems to be no ordinary matter."
Qiongqi shook its head and wagged its tail, "My lady is mistaken. Within the known herbs, there are seventy-six kinds that can produce such an effect on cultivators, and certain parts or organs of demons can be even more potent. Not to mention anything else, from the inmates imprisoned on the fourth floor of the God Demon Prison, the scent glands of a Musk Demon can be used to create an effect ten times stronger than this lad’s drug!"
Ning Xiaoxian drawled lazily, "Chatterbox, did I ask you?"
Qiongqi felt wronged and thought, If you didn’t want to listen, why did you reprimand me only after I finished explaining?
In the middle of this brief exchange, there was movement from the room next door.
Ning Xiaoxian uttered softly, "Tu Jin? Aren’t you going to take action?"
Having such a vibrant beauty ruined by Senior Brother Chen would indeed outrage her, as a fellow woman.
However, Tu Jin said nonchalantly, "Wait a bit longer. This Chen doesn’t show signs of being moved, he probably has an ulterior motive."
She paid closer attention, and though Senior Brother Chen’s eyes also showed a hint of lust, they were more filled with calculation and cunning. Too focused on watching the adult show, she felt ashamed that she had forgotten the serious matter at hand.
At this point, Ning Xiaoxian decisively withdrew her Divine Sense, not daring to look any further.
This Chen is truly despicable, he should not be left alive!
Fortunately, Changtian, considering her feelings at the moment, did not utter a single word, or else she would have felt even more embarrassed.
Just then, Tu Jin said in a low voice, "Quick, observe carefully!" His voice was stern yet composed.
Knowing that his hint must be very important, Ning Xiaoxian once again released her Divine Sense.
Senior Brother Chen bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, strangely, this blood was purple and stayed suspended in mid-air without dissipating. He muttered peculiar syllables and with a wave of his left hand, he traced two bizarre, ancient characters in the air using his blood.
As the last syllable left his mouth, the two characters were formed successfully, then gently imprinted on Chun Yijing’s forehead, penetrating her body and disappearing without a trace.
After completing this step, Senior Brother Chen’s face turned pale, and he appeared extremely weakened, clearly having exerted great effort to perform this secret technique. In such a state, he just rearranged her clothes properly and moved a chair to sit beside her, as if waiting for her to awaken. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Seeing his confident and self-assured expression, she guessed he probably had his next lines ready: Miss Chun went wild with lust, attempting to take liberties with him, but Senior Brother Chen remained unmoved and did not engage in any substantial relations with her... The morals of this world are progressive, advocating for living in the moment, probably because people’s lives have no guarantee of safety, often living with the uncertainty of not knowing if there is a tomorrow, and especially in the Northwest Region of
People here are more liberal in spirit; no woman would demand a man take responsibility simply for having seen her unclothed. Senior Brother Chen’s actions would likely only make Miss Chun admire him more. Of course, the biggest reason is the fear of offending Chun Yijing due to her identity as the daughter of the Building Owner of Gold Storage Tower; otherwise, someone like Junior Sister Cen might very well have been taken by force.
However, what he awaited was not Chun Yijing’s return to consciousness. Tu Jin, having observed the completion of his performance, walked up to his door without any courtesy, effortlessly broke the door bolt, and knocked the panic-stricken man unconscious with a swift palm strike.
Ning Xiaoxian followed inside, first imprisoning Senior Brother Chen in the God Demon Prison, then taking out her own powder and placing it beneath Chun Yijing’s nose to ensure she slept even more soundly. Only after making certain did she allow Tu Jin to examine her. As the daughter of the Building Owner of Gold Storage Tower, Chun Yijing carried several protective magic tools, but since she had drunkenly flung herself onto Senior Brother Chen first, and he was thoroughly gentle with her afterward,
her tools didn’t perceive her as having been subjected to violence and remained quiet.
This demonstrates that relying on external objects is never the true path; ultimately, personal strength is what matters most.
Tu Jin proceeded carefully and slowly, so as not to disturb the magic artifacts on Chun Yijing. After exploring for a while, he withdrew his hand and solemnly declared, "It’s the Daoist Heart Planting Demon Technique! Or at least, a secret technique very similar to it."
At this revelation, Ning Xiaoxian looked utterly puzzled, while Changtian and Qiongqi gasped in surprise, asking, "Are you sure?"
"Quite sure," Tu Jin turned to Ning Xiaoxian to explain, "The Daoist Heart Planting Demon Technique is an ancient secret technique, long lost to time. This secret technique can only be performed when the recipient is on the cusp of waking, completely relaxed in both body and mind. This Chen has planted his essence blood and demon seed within the Sea of Consciousness of Chun Yijing. The most insidious aspect of this technique is that it doesn’t immediately enslave Chun Yijing; instead, it subtly and repeatedly entices her, making her fond of him, leading her to unconsciously obey him. And when Chun Ru Hai inquires, Chun Yijing will appear normal, not arousing suspicion. It’s a hidden and gentle technique, but if used skillfully, very effective."
In terms she could understand, it was akin to hypnotism, affecting the subconscious mind, often imperceptible in one’s demeanor. Chin in hand, she pondered: "So what do we do now?"
"There’s no need to do anything. With Chen’s death, the secret technique will unravel. But I would advise against it."
Ning Xiaoxian nodded. By now, Chun Yijing had fallen into deep slumber, flushed cheeks yet to fade, like a blooming crabapple in spring sleep, blissfully unaware that it was Ning Xiaoxian who had rescued her from the wolf’s den. Ning Xiaoxian cast a glance at her, snorted quietly, and left her there to move on.
Having captured the offender, the safety of the young miss was no longer in jeopardy, and she would return on her own once awakened. That said, upon leaving, Ning Xiaoxian still casually set up a restriction that could only be unlocked from the inside, eliminating the chance for others to slip in and take advantage.
By the time she returned to He Residence, Changtian was attempting the Soul Searching Technique on the imprisoned Senior Brother Chen, but alas, he was unable to extract any useful information.
This was the first time Changtian’s Soul Searching Technique had failed. Why was this so?
Changtian shook his head: "He had also taken a Blood Oath. Even though he’s currently unconscious, such oaths are locked away at the very bottom of the Sea of Consciousness, amidst the smallest grains of sand, thwarting any possibility of secrets being divulged, unless I were to completely dry out his Sea of Consciousness—which would certainly kill him halfway through the Divine Skill. You understand, you can’t search a dead man’s brain for information, so the Soul Searching Technique is ineffective against secrets he wishes to protect."
Ning Xiaoxian felt decidedly discouraged: "Does that mean our efforts tonight were futile?"
"Not necessarily," Tu Jin interjected, "This man has many questionable aspects; patient interrogation may yet yield something usable."
After returning to the room He Lao Si had prepared for her, she entered the God Demon Prison and took out the Spectrum Mirror, aiming it at the unconscious Senior Brother Chen. Apart from Tu Jin, nobody else had the power to truly discern a soul’s true body; she had to rely on this miraculous mirror.
The soul reflected in the mirror was that of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who would be untraceable if thrown into a crowd, clearly mismatched with the body of Senior Brother Chen. Most importantly, his soul was faint and fuzzy in form, proving insufficiently consolidated—no wonder Tu Jin had said he was merely at the Qi Refinement Realm; indeed, the strength of his soul was barely more robust than that of an ordinary person.
