Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 640 - Reforging the Dantian

---

Lei Zhenxu looked up and saw a cold-faced, young cultivator standing outside the city gate.

It was obvious that this person had been attacking the city gate.

The aftermath of the attack had already shredded all the Lei family's guards outside the gate into a bloody mist.

The blood mist stained the ground, and the air was thick with the scent of blood.

The young cultivator's gaze was like two sharp ice knives, coldly fixated on Lei Zhenxu. His eyes were deep like a frozen lake, radiating a chilling murderous intent.

Under the gaze of those cold eyes, Lei Zhenxu's heart raced as if he were being stared at by a demon from the abyss.

Fear and coldness surged from the depths of his heart, giving him an overwhelming sense of pressure like never before.

Under this immense pressure, Lei ZhenMi Hesitated for a moment. It was this brief hesitation that gave Lei Weiyue the opportunity to escape.

She activated her identity token and, along with Zhou Siyi and the surviving shadow bug, passed through the formation barrier at the city gate.

"Thank you, senior, for your help," Lei Weiyue said, cupping her hands toward Song Wen. "But about the shadow bug you used..."

Song Wen's gaze remained cold as he stared at Lei Zhenxu inside the city gate.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. The one who killed my shadow bug will pay the price," he said in a chilling tone.

After speaking, he turned his attention to Zhou Siyi, his tone softening.

"Senior Zhou, it's been a long time since we last met, you..."

Before he could finish, Song Wen's brow furrowed slightly, his voice filled with surprise.

"You're injured?"

Zhou Siyi looked up and met Song Wen's gaze. Seeing the unfamiliar face before her, she asked in a puzzled tone, "Are you really Junior Brother Wu?"

"Senior Zhou, your injury is serious. This is not the place to catch up," Song Wen said.

He summoned a flying ship and used his spiritual power to lift Zhou Siyi and Lei Weiyue aboard.

The flying ship shot off, disappearing into the vast sky.

Half an hour later.

Inside a cave on the side of a high mountain.

Song Wen and Zhou Siyi sat facing each other.

With the help of healing elixirs and Song Wen's spiritual power, Zhou Siyi's external injuries had been stabilized.

However, the injury to her dantian remained unhealed.

Song Wen could only use his spiritual power to temporarily seal the wound, slowing its deterioration and preventing her spiritual power from leaking.

"Junior Brother Wu, I'm truly grateful for your help. Otherwise, I would probably already be crippled by now," Zhou Siyi said with gratitude.

Song Wen shook his head, his expression worried.

"We need to find a cure for your dantian as soon as possible. Otherwise, your cultivation will eventually fade away."

Zhou Siyi smiled slightly, her smile tinged with helplessness and resignation.

"Junior Brother Wu, just the fact that you remember me and are trying to save me makes me happy. As for the treasures that can reforge the dantian, they are extremely rare. How could they be easily obtained?"

"Senior, I know where there is a spiritual medicine that can reforge the dantian," Lei Weiyue's voice suddenly came from a corner of the cave.

Song Wen turned to look at her.

"Where is it?"

Lei Weiyue replied, "In the Lei family's spiritual fields, there is a Sea Spirit Tree. The fruit of this tree, the Sea Spirit Fruit, has the miraculous ability to reforge the dantian."

"Is this true?" Song Wen asked.

"I would never speak falsely," Lei Weiyue replied.

Song Wen suddenly recalled that when Lei Tianyu was dying, he had also mentioned that the Lei family possessed a spiritual medicine that could reforge the dantian.

He quickly formed several hand seals to undo the formation in the cave and then turned to Lei Weiyue.

"You can leave now."

Lei Weiyue was filled with surprise as she stood up and cupped her hands, saying,

"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life."

Song Wen waved his hand dismissively.

Lei Weiyue exited the cave and rose into the air, disappearing from sight.

"Junior Brother Wu, are you planning to seize the Lei family's Sea Spirit Seal?" Zhou Siyi asked.

Song Wen nodded.

Zhou Siyi looked worried and said, "The Lei family's ancestor is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator with unfathomable power. You don't need to take such risks for my sake."

Song Wen smiled, "Lei Yue's strength is formidable, but I am not an ordinary cultivator. I recently broke through to the Nascent Soul realm."

"You... you really advanced to Nascent Soul?" Zhou Siyi looked at Song Wen, her voice filled with astonishment.

While Song Wen was healing her, she had vaguely sensed his cultivation aura. However, given that they had only been apart for a little over a century, it was unbelievable that he had advanced from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul in such a short time.

She couldn't help but recall the days at the Beastmaster Sect. Back then, Song Wen seemed quite mediocre, whether it was in alchemy or cultivation.

She wondered how Song Wen, who had seemed so ordinary, managed to break through to Nascent Soul in just a century.

"How did you do it?" Zhou Siyi asked.

"It was just some fortunate opportunities," Song Wen replied.

Seeing that Song Wen didn't want to elaborate, Zhou Siyi took the initiative to change the subject.

"Junior Brother Wu, even if you're at the early Nascent Soul realm, Lei Yue has been at mid-Nascent Soul for many years. His cultivation and methods surpass yours. How can you defeat him?"

Song Wen smiled, "Senior Zhou, don't worry. I'm not reckless. Besides, my conflict with the Lei family isn't solely because of you. There are things I want from the Lei family as well."

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to dissuade you any further, but you must be cautious. Don't underestimate the Lei family," Zhou Siyi advised.

Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she gasped in alarm.

"Not good..."

---

Seeing her so tense, Song Wen quickly asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Beastmaster Sect has my soul lamp. If Lei Yue gets his hands on it, he could easily track me down," Zhou Siyi explained.

She suddenly stood up and continued,

"Junior Brother Wu, you must leave quickly. Staying with me will only bring you danger. Lei Yue is on good terms with Mi He. If he invites Mi He to come, it will be difficult for even you to escape."

"Ah, so you were worried about that." Song Wen smiled slightly, "Senior, don't worry. Lei Yue won't be able to find you."

Song Wen raised his hand and a jade token appeared in his palm.

Zhou Siyi looked at the jade token in confusion.

"What is this?"

"Soul Concealment Jade," Song Wen replied.

Zhou Siyi's face lit up with surprise, "This is the Soul Concealment Jade!"

"Exactly. Senior, as long as you wear this, Lei Yue won't be able to locate you using the soul lamp," Song Wen explained.

After receiving the jade token from Song Wen, Zhou Siyi asked in confusion,

"How do you have this?"

Song Wen replied, "Senior, you surely know why I left the Beastmaster Sect, don't you?"

After a brief thought, Zhou Siyi's expression shifted to one of realization.

"Fang Pengyi once said you were originally a demon cultivator from the Corpse Demon Sect. You offended a female cultivator from the Nine Palaces Sect, and she called on her master, Tai He, to hunt you down. Could it be that you used this Soul Concealment Jade to escape Tai He's pursuit?"

Zhou Siyi's expression changed immediately, and she handed the Soul Concealment Jade back to Song Wen.

"If you give this to me, Tai He could find your location again. You should keep the Soul Concealment Jade for yourself."
