'What happened?'

You Qingyi held her head with her hand.

The memory of her 'challenge' with Bi Yaoyao and Lou Yi gradually emerged, until she was suddenly transported by an unknown force to a large white stone statue of a woman...

Soon, a large amount of unfamiliar text and images surfaced in her mind.

'Did I receive Master Han Yue's legacy?'

Although You Qingyi had considered this possibility, it still caught her by surprise to obtain it so easily.

And when she saw the ruins-like scene and the corpses scattered all over, she couldn't help but be stunned.

'Qingyi, you finally woke up!' Bi Yaoyao, just saved by Lou Yi, saw her friend You Qingyi awaken and exclaimed in delight.

'How did this place become like this?' You Qingyi asked.

'It's those villains from the Red Sun Sect, True Blood Sect, and the Li Family from the Eastern Sea. They wanted to hurt you and seize the legacy.

Luckily, Lou "Wood" unleashed his full power and killed them all!' Bi Yaoyao enthusiastically swung her small fist.

Her tone carried a pride she hadn't even noticed.

'And Wang Wenbai, that scoundrel, tried to kill us with a talisman treasure; Junior Brother Lou saved us too!' Xie Zhiyu, as the only one who witnessed the confrontation between Lou Yi and Wang Wenbai, added.

'What, a talisman treasure?!' Bi Yaoyao was shocked.

The other Corpse-Driving Sect disciples, who had gradually awakened, heard it and each showed an indignant expression.

'This Wang Wenbai is simply a lunatic!'

'Damn it, I even want to flog his corpse!'

Having experienced much in the Cultivation Realm, everyone knew what a talisman treasure was.

It was crafted by high-level cultivators using their vital blood, the spirit of a spiritual artifact, and other precious materials.

Not only does it consume greatly, but more importantly, crafting it often causes the cultivator severe primordial qi damage, lifespan reduction, and possibly a realm fallback.

Only for the closest relationships would someone pay such a heavy price.

'It's Elder Wang!' Qi Jiaoxue, a clever female cultivator, immediately thought of who crafted the talisman treasure for Wang Wenbai.

Upon hearing this, the disciples present all looked worriedly at Lou Yi.

Xie Zhiyu solemnly said, 'Wang Wenbai was intent on killing us, and Junior Brother Lou killed him to save us.

Everyone, if Elder Wang asks, can you keep this secret?'

'We can!'

'Anyone who reveals it will face heavenly retribution!'

All members gave their promise upon hearing Xie Zhiyu's questioning.

Some even showed a slightly disgruntled expression, feeling underestimated.

'Words alone are not credible.' Xie Zhiyu calmly said, 'For Junior Brother Lou's sake, I have a suggestion.'

At this, Xie Zhiyu suddenly sold a mystery.

'Speak.'

'What's the suggestion?'

'Quick, tell us!'

Xie Zhiyu didn't elaborate but walked to Wang Wenbai's corpse, and with a swoosh of his flying sword from his sleeve, he cut off Wang Wenbai's arm!

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed.

Then, they heard Xie Zhiyu say solemnly, 'I, Xie Zhiyu, swear to the heavens and the Dao that I will not reveal to anyone that Junior Brother Lou killed Wang Wenbai to save us today... If I break this vow, my cultivation will never advance, and I will die an untimely death!'

This was an oath against a Heart Demon!

First flogging the corpse as an initiation pledge, then making an oath against a Heart Demon.

Xie Zhiyu's consideration was undeniably thorough.

Upon seeing this, Qi Jiaoxue, a dark-skinned female cultivator, boldly stepped forward and swung a wind blade, severing Wang Wenbai's other arm!

'Hey, don't cut too much, leave some for us!'

The other fellow sect members called out.

Approximately ten people at the scene repeated what Xie Zhiyu had done.

Lou Yi was moved at heart and cupped his fist, saying, 'Thank you, Senior Brothers and Sisters...'

'We can't waste any more time; let's quickly resolve the other two restrictions!' Xie Zhiyu added with a smile.

Hearing this, the Corpse-Driving Sect disciples began jointly attacking the other two restrictions—the two white pillars of light.

Due to the restrictions being severely damaged in the previous battle, it didn't take long to break all the light pillars.

In the left pillar, there were nine elixir bottles of varying colors.

Each elixir bottle had its origin inscribed in small black characters, mainly: Moonlight Dew, Clear Wind Pill, Ancient Moon Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Among them, Moonlight Dew helps in comprehending Yin Techniques, such as the Corpse-Driving Sect's fundamental technique, the Profound Yin Technique.

Clear Wind Pill aids in cultivators breaking through barriers.

Whether it's overcoming small bottlenecks, like advancing from mid to late stages, or overcoming major bottlenecks, like Qi Cultivation advancing to Foundation Establishment, it has significant effects.

Ancient Moon Pill slightly improves a cultivator's Spirit Root, with greater effect for lower cultivation.

Barrier-Breaking Pill is even more mysterious.

If a cultivator has an unresolvable Heart Demon, it becomes highly likely to go into madness upon bottleneck breakthrough.

Consuming a Barrier-Breaking Pill greatly increases the chances of getting through it unimpeded. Sometimes a single Barrier-Breaking Pill represents a lifeline!

In the right pillar, there were two crescent-shaped handleless flying daggers.

Palm-sized, one red, one black, they radiated brilliant light, containing two energies that made everyone's heart tremble.

'These flying daggers, are they spiritual artifacts?' Qi Jiaoxue curiously asked.

'Judging by their quality, they seem to be top-tier spiritual artifacts.' Xie Zhiyu said excitedly, 'I've seen my master's spiritual artifacts, but they don't seem as good as these.'

'That's a treasure artifact embryo.' You Qingyi added unexpectedly.

'Hiss...'

The sound of sharply inhaling breath continuously echoed.

'Treasure artifact embryo? It's said to grow with the cultivator.

At any stage, it can exert the strongest power that tier of weapon can achieve!' A tall and chubby man exclaimed.

'Treasure artifact embryos can be used from the Qi Cultivation Stage all the way to the Golden Core Stage without falling behind...' Another female cultivator looked at the dazzling light of the two flying daggers, her face showing a look of fascination.

'The value of this item is tempting even to Golden Core Masters, as it can be gifted to their junior generations...'

'Such a valuable item should rightfully belong to Junior Brother Lou.' Xie Zhiyu smiled.

'Indeed.'

'It's only proper.'

No one at the scene disagreed.

Seeing this, Lou Yi didn't feign modesty; it was rightfully his.

'These are yin-yang treasure artifact embryos, the black one called Moye, the red one called Zhuyan, designed for a couple, where one person can only refine one.

Furthermore, it has a set of combination secret techniques, which can exponentially increase its power when used by a pair...' You Qingyi added.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

'Qingyi, did you really receive the legacy?' Bi Yaoyao exclaimed joyfully.

You Qingyi nodded, while the others showed envious expressions.

Then Qi Jiaoxue, the dark-skinned female cultivator, suddenly swayed her slender body and walked beside Lou Yi, casting him a flirtatious glance: 'Junior Brother Lou, do you need a partner?'

This bold move left Bi Yaoyao, You Qingyi, and other female cultivators astonished.

'Ahem, not currently.' Lou Yi noticed Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi looking at him simultaneously, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Promptly placing the two treasure artifact embryos back into his storage bag, he temporarily calmed the situation.

The ownership of the treasure artifacts was determined, and then everyone began discussing the ownership of the elixirs.
