Soon after, he felt the Devouring Power in his palm surge out uncontrollably. It forcefully pulled the miniature eagle out and landed in his palm.
He was just about to open his palm to see what it was when Elder Yun, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them. The wild joy in his eyes could not be eliminated for a long time.
" Did I succeed…" A smile appeared on Shen Xuan's face. He immediately retracted his arm a little without leaving any trace and hid the miniature eagle in his sleeve.
"Yes, I succeeded!" The joy on Elder Yun's face did not disappear. He looked at his wrist with some excitement. The originally bulging death aura had completely disappeared. A familiar power surged into his right arm, causing his originally somewhat withered arm to be filled up again.
"Congratulations!" Shen Xuan also smiled and nodded. This Death Qi had been pestering Old Yun for many years. During these years, it was likely that the latter's strength had not improved much. Now that this Dark Illness had been resolved, it was a joyous matter for their Hunter Mercenary Company.
After all, Elder Yun's strength was a little stronger than Hu Man. He was already at the peak of the nine star Da Dou Shi or even half a step into the Dou Ling class. Their mercenary group was not always stable. The mercenary groups in the other towns were scheming against each other, wanting to annex the other mercenary groups around them to increase their strength.
Over the past decade, he had seen many tribal battles of various sizes. Every time, many people would die. After all, he had grown up in this mercenary group since he was young. Naturally, he hoped that this mercenary group would become stronger.
"Thank you, young friend!" Old Yun finally calmed his excited mood a long while later as he slowly spoke. Immediately, a puzzled expression surged onto his face as he looked at Shen Xuan with a somewhat strange gaze.
"Logically speaking, this death aura should be extremely stubborn and it should be quite difficult to refine it. How can it be done so quickly?”
Hearing this, Shen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Previously, it was obvious that Elder Shi had secretly helped him refine the Death Qi. Moreover, he had used the power of the 'Heavenly Flame'. The' Heavenly Flame 'was an item of the extreme Yang, so it was extremely easy to deal with the Death Qi. Moreover, Elder Shi's strength was many times stronger than his, so his efficiency was naturally much faster.
"The Dou Qi within my body seems to have an extremely overbearing suppressing effect on this Death Qi. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it has such a good effect…"
Shen Xuan looked at Elder Yun, his calm eyes without a trace of emotion. He would definitely not let this cunning old fox in front of him see through anything.
" I see…" Elder Yun nodded and looked at Shen Xuan thoughtfully. In the end, he stood up and said,""This old man is indebted to little friend. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for this old man. No one in this mercenary group will dare to do anything to you.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yun." Shen Xuan nodded his head slightly and smiled. He naturally would not foolishly push away such benefits that were given to him. Who knows when he might need them in the future.
Moreover, a favor from a half-step Dou Ling was extremely precious…
The two of them were silent for a while. Elder Yun suddenly asked,"Little friend, do you really want to cultivate the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Verdict? As far as I know, without the Nine Feathered Ghost Sky Eagle's soul essence, I'm afraid it's impossible to successfully cultivate it.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Xuan with a somewhat strange gaze. Previously, in order to practice this Dou Technique, he was almost made immortal by the Nine Feather Ghost Heavenly Eagle. If it was not for Shen Xuan's help, it was likely that he would have entered the Yellow Springs in less than half a year.
"Elder Yun, you do not need to persuade me. Since I have chosen this Dou Technique, I will naturally not give it up so easily. As for the soul essence of the Nine Feather Ghost Sky Eagle, I will think of a way.”Shen Xuan smiled faintly and said.
" Nine-feathered Ghost Sky Eagle…" Elder Yun murmured. He suddenly laughed at himself and said,""That beast isn't easy to deal with. Furthermore, I've searched the surrounding towns, but other than these few useless books, I didn't find any other information about the Nine Feathered Heavenly Ghost Eagle.”
"No matter how powerful that Nine Feathered Ghost Sky Eagle is, it's still just a magical beast, right? The reason why we humans are able to stand at the top of the Dou Qi continent is not just because of our strength.”Shen Xuan smiled as he spoke. His words were filled with confidence.
"You can't be thinking of going after that Nine Feathered Ghost Sky Eagle, right?”Elder Yun was shocked. Seeing Shen Xuan nod with a smile, his expression changed and his voice became sharp.
"Are you crazy? That was a Magical Beast that was comparable to a Dou Wang! If you anger him, you probably won't even be able to escape!”
Hearing this, Shen Xuan shook his head and said,""I have my own way. I want to cultivate this Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Verdict.”
If he did not master this Dou Technique and merely relied on the Heaven Shaking Dragon and his own strength, which was not outstanding, it would undoubtedly be a fool's dream to be chosen by the people from the Four Pavilions among the many geniuses. However, if he successfully cultivated the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Verdict, the chances of entering the Four Pavilion would undoubtedly increase by a lot.
Elder Yun looked at Shen Xuan. The latter's face that was filled with childishness revealed an unshakable determination. After a long while, he sighed and said,"If you insist on looking for that beast, I can't stop you. If you need my help, just let me know. After all, you saved my life.”
"There's no need to trouble Elder Yun." Shen Xuan shook his head and said," It's just that Elder Yun has been to the location of the Nine Feathered Ghost Heavenly Eagle before. I hope that Elder Yun can point out for me what powerful demonic beasts there are in the surroundings so that I can take note of them."”
Elder Yun nodded his head and looked at Shen Xuan strangely. The youth in front of him was only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet the things he did were completely different from youths of his age.
A five star Dou Zhe challenging a Dou Wang class Magical Beast. If this were to spread to the ears of others, it was likely that they would immediately think that there was something wrong with this person's brain. However, he didn't think so. In his opinion, Shen Xuan might succeed in obtaining the Nine Feathered Ghost Heavenly Eagle's soul essence!
Hence, after hesitating for a moment, Elder Yun slowly opened his mouth and said,"I don't know what kind of strange temper that Nine Feathered Ghost Sky Eagle has, but there are no other demonic beasts within a hundred miles. Back then, I was lucky enough to see a fierce tiger that was roughly at the Da Dou Shi class accidentally enter its territory and was slapped into a meat paste by that beast.”
"Therefore, you only need to pay attention to the Nine Feather Ghost Sky Eagle in that area. You do not need to worry about the other Magical Beasts. However, there are quite a number of Magical Beasts with the strength of a Dou Shi along the way. One of them has even reached the Da Dou Shi class.”
"I've explored the area and I know quite a bit about the magical beasts. I'll draw a detailed map for you in the next few days. When you're ready to enter the mountain, you can come and take it from me.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yun." Shen Xuan cupped his hands and smiled. With the map drawn by Elder Yun, it was likely that there would be fewer forks in the Bewitching Mountain Range. After all, it was inevitable for a person to be unable to distinguish the direction when entering the mountain alone.
"It's fine. In any case, this old man has nothing to do all day. If you have the heart, just come and accompany this old man to play chess and chat.”Elder Yun smiled as he looked at Shen Xuan with a satisfied expression.
" With such courage, perseverance, and a steady personality, this little fellow's future achievements will definitely not be too low…" Looking at Shen Xuan, Elder Yun silently came to a conclusion in his heart.
"Alright, after I'm done with the matters outside, I'll definitely find time to play chess and chat with you, Elder Yun.”Shen Xuan laughed out loud. From the looks of it, Elder Yun was not an old-fashioned and stubborn person. Hence, he liked this kind of character.
Seeing Elder Yun nod, Shen Xuan continued,""It should be getting late. I've been in the library pavilion for so long, it's time to go back.”
"I'll send you out. I think you've seen the traps outside. You're a clever little thing, nothing can be hidden from you.”Elder Yun smiled.
"I did see the mechanism, but…the formation hidden within it is the trump card. It probably took a lot of effort to build that formation, right?”Shen Xuan smiled and said seriously.
Hearing this, Elder Yun's eyes narrowed. He stared at Shen Xuan for a long while before sighing,"As expected, I can't hide it from you. If an ordinary person came here, they would only be able to see the mechanisms on the outside. As for the array hidden within, no one has ever seen through it.”
"Hehe, I was lucky enough to read a book on formations, so I know a thing or two about them.”Shen Xuan laughed awkwardly.
After all, this array could be considered the greatest safety support of the library pavilion. It was a little embarrassing for him to see through it just like that.
"That formation has existed for more than ten years. The previous leader spent a huge sum of money to invite a formation master from Little Moon City to successfully construct this formation. Although the quality of the formation is slightly low, it is considered not bad among the surrounding mercenary groups.”After saying that, Elder Yun had a smile on his face. After all, he was indeed proud of the existence of such an array.
Shen Xuan nodded his head. He had also heard of the Little Moon City before. It had a population of nearly ten thousand and was the city closest to their mercenary company. There were even Dou Ling and even Dou Wangs guarding it. This was many times better than their small mercenary company.
In Little Moon City, the disputes between the factions were extremely complicated, unlike their Broken Soul Town, which only had one faction. Although the factions in Little Moon City were complicated, the factions within were extremely powerful. If there was not an elite Dou Ling overseeing it, it was likely that it would be destroyed before long.
There were also alchemists in Little Moon City. That was the place that he yearned for. Even though he had grown up, he had never had the chance to go to that Little Moon City.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. This is the group's top secret. Logically speaking, I can't tell you juniors.”Elder Yun smiled and shook his head.
Shen Xuan pursed his lips. He had more or less understood all the secrets. With Elder Shi around, wouldn't it be easy to avoid the traps and array attacks?
"Let's go. I'll send you out." Elder Yun stood up from his chair and waved at Shen Xuan. He then led the way back to the passage they came from, with Shen Xuan following closely behind.
