This was a beast core left behind by an Illusory Beast. As long as one infused it with Zhen Yuan, it would produce an illusory attack. This kind of attack targeted one's consciousness directly, allowing one to easily gauge one's cultivation.
Under normal circumstances, one would be able to recover within ten breaths. Zongshi realm primary stage, eight, Zongshi realm intermediate stage, six, advanced stage, four, and pinnacle!
If it took less than two breaths, the other party would definitely be a Heritage realm expert, an existence that their Windlightning Sect couldn't afford to offend.
Calculating the time, Elder Feng's Zhen Yuan surged furiously. Weng! With a light buzz, a faint red glow immediately flew toward Su Yin, and in the blink of an eye, the latter was shrouded within it.
Just as Elder Feng was about to calculate the time, he saw the young man waving his hands as if disturbed by a mosquito. With a doubtful look, he glanced at his hiding spot before... continuing to pluck the medicinal herbs!
"This... Impossible!" Elder Feng was taken aback.
The tier of this beast core was extremely high. Even a Zongshi realm expert would fall into an illusory state if they encountered it, so how could an eighteen -year-old young man be completely fine?
The Zhen Yuan surged furiously, and the red glow shrouded the other party once more. Yet, Su Yin... as if chasing away a mosquito, he shook his hands before continuing to pluck medicinal herbs, as if the illusory attack didn't exist at all.
"Could it be that... this beast core has been used so many times that it has lost its effectiveness?"
After a few more tests, Elder Feng realized that the other party wasn't affected at all. On the other hand, he was already panting from the continuous infusing of Zhen Yuan.
Elder Feng was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
It was true that the beast core left behind by the Illusory Beast would lose its effectiveness after being used too many times, but... since the sect leader had given it to him, it shouldn't be a problem!
Could it be that... this Junior Uncle's cultivation has surpassed Heritage realm?
How could that be?
An eighteen -year-old Zongshi realm expert was rare in the entire continent, and for someone who had surpassed Heritage realm... there was no one.
Besides, if the other party was really that formidable, even if he had used some special means to conceal himself, he would have been noticed. It was impossible for him to be safe until now.
"I should try it on Yao Zhan. If he is unable to escape from the illusory state, it means that there's nothing wrong with the beast core..."
He tried a few more times, but to no avail. This made him doubt the treasure in his hands. After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and flew in the direction of the Secluded Immortal Residence.
If there was nothing wrong with the beast core, it meant that Little Senior Uncle's strength was unfathomable. If they were to challenge him, they would only be courting death.
If there was a problem, he could only think of other ways to investigate.
He returned to his previous hiding place and found Yao Zhan.
"Elder Mo …" The Windlightning Sect disciple was perplexed to see the young man before him return after just ten minutes. "Elder Mo …"
"Don't say a word. Look at me …" Grabbing the Beast Core tightly, Mo Qingfeng began to gather his strength.
Weng!
Yao Zhan froze on the spot as if he'd fallen into a terrifying place, and his face twitched while his body trembled.
"It's useful …" Wind Void was stunned.
Clearly, this disciple of the Sect Leader had fallen into an illusion, and would not be able to wake up anytime soon.
"Could it be … that he has really surpassed the Inherited Realm?"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Elder Windless narrowed his eyes.
If Zhang Xuan truly possessed such a cultivation, even if the Sect Leader himself was here, he would still be able to kill him with ease, much less the Silver-winged Green Jiao! In this way, the Immortal Subjugation Sect didn't weaken, but rather … became even stronger!
An hour later, Yao Zhan recovered. He was sweating profusely as if he had just fought a battle. His entire body was weak.
"Elder Mo, what happened?"
Even though he had regained consciousness, he still found it hard to believe.
"I'm fine. Continue looking at me …" Unwilling to give up, Elder Mo continued gathering his strength.
"I …" Before Yao Zhan could finish his words, he fell into an illusion once more. Countless ferocious monsters charged at him, and his face contorted in agony.
"It seems like Junior Uncle is really putting on an act …" Finally confirming the truth, Elder Windless's body turned cold.
Even though he was unable to ascertain the other party's true cultivation, he was a hundred percent certain that the other party's cultivation had reached a level far beyond his own. Otherwise, it was impossible for the other party to fall into an illusion so easily.
From the looks of it, even if the Silver-winged Greenserpent wasn't killed by him, it had to be closely related to him.
But … if he didn't exact his vengeance, how could he be content?
As long as I can prove that he's colluding with The Great Demon, so what if he's strong? A thought surfaced in Elder Mo's mind.
Given that the other party didn't fear the Beast Core, the other party's strength wasn't something that he could compete with. Since that was the case, why not make use of him to do the dirty work?
The Ten Sects of the Great Yan Continent abhorred demonic cultivators. If they were to learn that their Junior Uncle was colluding with The Great Demon … it would only be a matter of time before he would be judged.
No matter how high his cultivation was, it would be useless!
"I'll just do that then …"
With such thoughts in mind, Elder Mo concealed himself once more.
As long as he could prove that The Great Demon of Bliss was staying in this residence as well, it would prove that the two of them were in cahoots, and he wouldn't be able to get away with the crime of colluding with a demonic cultivator!
…
Su Yin, who was picking medicinal herbs, was perplexed as well.
Previously, he had clearly sensed that someone was spying on him, but even after circling the area several times, he couldn't find anything.
Could it be that his senses were playing tricks on him?
"It seems like this forest isn't as safe as I thought. Forget it, I'm almost done picking medicinal herbs. I should head back now!" Su Yin turned around and headed back.
However, barely after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
Not too far away from him, a vibrant flower was hidden amidst the countless shrubs. It swayed gently in the wind, emanating a faint fragrance.
"Could it be … the Frigid Sun Grass?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Even though he had learned how to identify medicinal herbs, there was a limit to the number of medicinal herbs that could be grown in the remote area. Thus, he only knew the names and medicinal properties of most of the medicinal herbs, but he had never seen them before.
For example, the medicinal herb before his eyes exuded the fragrance of peonies. Some of the petals were bright red, while others were white. It was as if the sun was shining on the white snow, giving one a bone-piercing chill, yet warm as spring.
It was exactly the same as the Frigid Sun Grass recorded in the books!
This medicinal herb was a top-notch recovery medicine. Compared to the medicinal herbs that he had collected previously, its effects were at least twice as effective! With this medicinal herb, coupled with the appropriate supplementary herbs, his grandstudent should be able to recover swiftly.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to pick the medicinal herb, he suddenly heard a calm voice.
"Young friend, please wait a moment!"
Following which, he saw an elder in his sixties carrying a basket on his back. He was dressed in a coarse hemp robe.
"May I know what instructions you have for me?" Su Yin asked warily.
Even though this area wasn't under the jurisdiction of the Subduing Immortal Sect, it was still under its jurisdiction. Under normal circumstances, few people would come here. Why would an elder suddenly appear and stop him from picking medicinal herbs?
"Don't misunderstand. I was just passing by when I saw young friend picking the Frigid Sun Grass with your bare hands. I was afraid that you would make a grave mistake, so I couldn't help but warn you!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's wariness, the elder chuckled.
"Grave mistake?"
Nodding his head, the elder stroked his beard and said, "Since young friend is able to come here alone to pick medicinal herbs, you should have a deep understanding of pill forging. Don't you know that the greatest taboo of Frigid Sun Grass is to pick it with your bare hands?"
"This …" Su Yin blinked his eyes. He really didn't know about it.
When the lingering will imparted herbology to him, it didn't mention anything about it. Could it be that one had to resort to some special means to pick medicinal herbs?
