At this point, Pi Junzi's heart trembled slightly.
If the other party wanted to kill him, he would have to do it sooner or later. When he no longer had any value, that would be the time for him to make his move.
Since the other party wanted to go to the Bejeweled Nectar Conclave, why not lend him a hand? Presumably, he didn't dare to go alone. As long as he brought her along, she would have a chance to escape. Otherwise, if she continued to be restrained like this, when would she be able to escape from the abyss of suffering?
Miao Yi nodded slightly and furrowed his brows. The other party's words made sense. He didn't have any demonic aura on him. Even if he went, he would be exposed.
Unexpectedly, Pi Junzi changed his tune and said, "It's not that there's no other way. The Great Immortal has the medallion of Jade Stream Manor in your possession. I'm sure no one would dare to thoroughly search the Great Immortal. The Great Immortal only needs to maintain a bit of Yao Qi on your body, and you'll definitely be safe."
"What should I do?" Miao Yi's eyes brightened. If the other party could say something like that, then he must have a plan.
"Presumably, Great Immortal has already obtained Madame Wu Hua's Inner Core. You only need to place the Inner Core on your person, and invoke your arts to slightly stimulate the Inner Core to emit some Demonic Qi. They are apprehensive of Great Immortal's identity in Jade Stream Manor, so they will definitely allow Great Immortal to pass smoothly!" Pi Junzi said with a smile.
Miao Yi smiled and nodded, "Alright! Let's do it this way. If it really works, I'll spare your life. But there are still two more months, and I can't alert the enemy during these two months. Where should I go? "
Needless to say, he was going to Pi Junzi's cave.
After finishing his meal, Miao Yi extinguished the bonfire and mounted his steed. With his silver spear in hand, he activated his transcendence vision and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.
The stars twinkled in the night sky, and fireflies danced in the night sky.
From time to time, the sound of the fine steel chains swaying could be heard from ahead. Pi Junzi's face was in so much pain that his complexion had turned pale. After another round of torment, his hands were tied behind his back as he limped forward at lightning speed, pulling Charcoal along as he ran.
Pi Junzi's Immortal's Cave wasn't far from where they were. It was only a few li away, and it didn't take long for him to lead Miao Yi to a mountain forest filled with towering rocks. They took a circuitous route through the strangely shaped rocks before stopping in front of a cave.
If one did not stand at the entrance of the cave abode and observed it from another angle, it would be difficult to discover that there was a cave abode hidden here.
The entrance to the Immortal's Cave wasn't very high up. He would hit his head if he sat on his dragon steed. Miao Yi had no choice but to dismount and follow behind Pi Junzi into the sinister Immortal's Cave.
The tunnels in the cave were like a maze. If it weren't for Pi Junzi leading the way, they would have most likely gotten lost. As expected of the Rat Spirit's residence. After turning left and right for quite a while, they finally arrived at the underground palace.
From the scale of the underground palace, it could be seen that this place seemed to have been prosperous in the past. There was a stone chair high up in the air, clearly for the subordinates to worship.
In Pi Junzi's own words, he once had a dozen or so lesser demons as his subordinates, and he was once in the limelight.
But ever since Madame Wu Hua appeared, she had completely destroyed his happy life.
His Fort Master was enraged that he had lost his territory, so he withdrew all of his manpower. And it was impossible for him, a Rat Spirit on land, to accompany Madame Wu Hua to live in the sea for a long period of time. It was also impossible for him to gather a bunch of little demons from the sea to accompany him on land for a long period of time. Thus, he became a loner who was neither loved by his grandmother nor loved by his uncle.
Inside the cave, there were quite a few long-burning oil lamps lit up. The light was dim, and white bones were scattered on the ground. There were beast bones, and also human skulls. It could be seen that Pi Junzi had eaten humans before.
The environment inside the cave was completely different from the living environment of humans. It gave off a strange, eerie feeling, and there was also a faint demonic aura lingering around. It was indeed like a place where demons lived. If a normal person were to enter, they would probably be quite frightened.
But to Miao Yi, who had traversed the Boundless Secular World, killed humans, vanquished ghosts, and slaughtered demons, a mere gloomy and terrifying environment was not enough to scare him.
He surveyed his surroundings for a while, then asked, "There won't be anyone here to disturb you, right?"
Pi Junzi smiled bitterly. "Other than Madame Wu Hua, who else would come and disturb this humble one? Now that Madame Wu Hua is gone, this humble one has truly become a loner."
"That's good!" Miao Yi reached out and patted his shoulder.
A little guy crawled out from the storage ring, and crawled to Miao Yi's fingertips. Taking advantage of the moment when Miao Yi patted Pi Junzi's shoulder, the little scythe abruptly pierced into the back of Pi Junzi's neck.
"Great Immortal …" Pi Junzi's voice was deep. His eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
A white light flashed from his body, and he once again turned into a two-meter-long gray-furred rat with eerie fangs.
Miao Yi flicked his finger, and the little guy landed on the unconscious rat's body.
He spread his fingers again, and the little guys swarmed out from the storage ring. They flew to every corner of the cave, and some flew to guard the cave entrance.
Miao Yi shot a glance at Pi Junzi on the ground. He removed the steel chain from Charcoal's body, and tied it to a stone pillar at the side.
He turned around and climbed onto the high and mighty stone chair. Invoking his arts, he swept the seat clean, and sat cross-legged on it. He tossed an Orb of Will into his mouth, and closed his eyes to slowly refine it.
Since the Bejeweled Nectar Conclave was going to be held two months later, then he was prepared to wait here for two months. During this time, he wasn't prepared to go out and alert the enemy. Naturally, he wouldn't give Pi Junzi a chance to play any tricks either.
Two months' time was not enough for him to just wait. It was enough for him to refine a low-grade Orb of Will, so he naturally wouldn't waste this time.
Charcoal stomped its hooves as it circled around the cave, sniffing here and there. It seemed to be carefree.
In the end, Miao Yi sat down and lay on its side. It swung its snake tail, and closed its eyes to take a nap.
No one would have thought that he would actually hide in the incomparably dangerous Sea of Constellations to cultivate. Even Miao Yi himself had never thought that such a day would come.
The days passed by. Miao Yi hid in his cave abode and cultivated in peace. He didn't go out for even a moment. The food he prepared in the storage ring was also enough for Charcoal and the little guys to eat.
It wasn't a problem if the little guys wanted to eat crystal coins. The Great Cave Master Miao had money now. Even though it was stolen, it still belonged to him now. He had the right to freely distribute it, and he could casually scatter a large handful for them to eat as they pleased.
The most unfortunate one was still Pi Junzi. Every few days, when he gradually regained his senses and let out a few groans, the little guy guarding him would immediately stab him with its little sickle, causing Pi Junzi to once again fall into a state of absent-mindedness.
Two months later, Miao Yi finished refining the Orb of Will in his mouth, and checked the art source within his body.
If he wanted to break through to White Lotus Fourth Grade, he would at most need another eighteen low-grade Orbs of Will.
Now that he had enough Orbs of Will to break through to Fourth Grade, he needed time. Refining another eighteen Orbs of Will would require thirty-six months, which was equivalent to three years of time.
He wasn't afraid of not having enough time to cultivate, but he was afraid of not having enough Orbs of Will. Since he had come to the Sea of Constellations, it wasn't the time to continue cultivating. Instead, he had to think of ways to get more items that could be exchanged for Orbs of Will.
Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and stretched out his palm. Over a hundred little guys immediately flew over from every corner of the cave abode upon receiving his summons, and entered the storage ring one after another.
