I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The deeper they went, the more Spiritual Medicine they found, with the sixth-grade Spiritual Medicine being the most abundant, although there were also some 5th-grade varieties present.

Ahead in a large pit, there was no snow, just a layer of solid ice covering the bottom. Beneath the ice, one could see a body that had been cut in half.

Meng Chong punched out, shattering the ice layer. Looking at the withered corpse, he couldn’t help but frown.

The corpse was dry, as if all its vital essence had been drained out by a single cut.

The face was now unrecognizable.

Under the tattered clothes, there was a small, gray pouch that resembled a toad!

A storage bag!

Meng Chong was delighted. He took off the storage bag. When he opened it, he found not much inside, just a few bottles and jars, some Spirit Crystals, and a jade token.

“What a pity!”

Meng Chong sighed. These powerful warriors who came to assassinate the Demon Lord must have known the high risks and consequently, had not brought any valuable items with them.

They only had some medicines and Spirit Crystals.

He took out the jade token and handed it to Zi Yun: “Is this the Yu Ling you’re looking for?”

Zi Yun took a look, shook her head and said: “This is not the Yu Ling I’m looking for. You keep it. This thing might be useful when entering the Gate of Lingyu.”

Meng Chong took back the jade token and placed the storage bag around his waist.

They continued deeper into the canyon.

Along the way, they saw several completely shattered corpses, all incredibly withered and broken. Even the storage bags seemed to have been destroyed.

Meng Chong secretly lamented the loss.

Eventually, they came across another corpse, which seemed to be that of a woman?

“This person died quite horribly!”

Meng Chong was taken aback. The corpse had been cut open from bottom to top. Whoever did this did it on purpose.

He took the storage bag off the corpse and looked inside. There was a jade token, some jars, and some Spirit Crystals. Nothing more.

It seems that all the warriors’ weapons were destroyed in the battle.

“What a huge haul!”

Meng Chong was ecstatic.

It was worth the trip. He got two storage bags. Also, the storage bags carried by these warriors were of a superior type, made from a higher level toad.

The interior space was large enough to fit the body of the polar bear.

“Seeing the storage bag, I will forgo other rewards.”

Meng Chong said cheerfully at Zi Yun.

“Then I’m much obliged!”

Zi Yun was very cheerful about it.

By the time they reached the end of the canyon, Meng Chong had amassed a total of three storage bags.

Meng Chong thought to himself, the storage bags, which were so precious in the Inner Domain, no longer seemed so rare after acquiring three all at once.

At the end of the canyon, against the cliff, a corpse was pinned to the wall with a cone-shaped object stuck in its head.

The faint violet robe was distinctly eye-catching.

Zi Yun jogged over to the corpse, knelt before it with reverence, knocked her head a few times, and then began searching through the corpse’s belongings, finding a storage bag.

Inside was a violet jade token.

“I found it!”

Zi Yun was ecstatic, solemnly putting away the storage bag.

She then handed the original storage bag to Meng Chong, saying: “Meng Chong, I can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for your escort, I don’t know when I would have been able to get here.

“This is your reward as promised, there are Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Tickets inside.”

Meng Chong, without any hesitation, accepted the storage bag, looked at the corpse in violet robe and asked, “Is this your ancestor?”

Zi Yun shook her head: “No, but he left behind some things. With his jade token, I can enter the Gate of Ling Domain without any restrictions.

“Meng Chong, come with me when the time comes.”

Meng Chong shook his head: “We’ll see. You seem to know quite a lot about the Gate of Ling Domain, don’t you?”

Zi Yun smiled: “By a stroke of luck, I got hold of some things. The storage bag I gave you has a small booklet in it. After reading that, you’ll know some hidden secrets.”

Meng Chong opened the storage bag Zi Yun gave him. Indeed, there was a small booklet inside, but he didn’t take it out to look at it right away.

Zi Yun was digging a hole, apparently intending to bury the corpse in the purple robe.

Meng Chong raised his fist and plunged it straight into the ground, creating a big hole.

“Meng Chong, you’re such a great person!”

With excitement, Zi Yun leaped up, extending her arms as if wanting to throw them around his neck. Meng Chong quickly reached out and grabbed her, flinging Zi Yun in front of the purple-robed corpse.

“Hmm!”

Zi Yun hummed twice and moved the purple-robed corpse into the hole for burial.

Meng Chong surveyed the gorge, the more he looked, the more he felt something special about this place, but he just couldn’t put his finger on it.

This journey had come to an end.

The gains were significant!

“Let’s go!”

Zi Yun spoke after burying the corpse.

The pair left the ravine, returned to the snow bear’s body. Meng Chong took out a storage bag, poured True Yuan into it, opened the mouth of the bag, and stowed the corpse of the snow bear inside.

The massive corpse of the snow bear, when put into the storage bag, made the bag bulge slightly, staying quite small still.

Meng Chong sighed, feeling that this storage bag was truly a must-have item for traversing the martial arts world!

He also put away the long spear. It was the only weapon left in the demon hunting battlefield.

Just as they left the valley, a ripple suddenly came from the side of the valley with a hum.

Meng Chong looked at a peak that, at this moment, seemed to be covered by a layer of waves. The ripple distorted, making the peak look as if it was about to disappear.

“What’s this?”

“It’s possibly the opening of the Gate of Lingyu,” Zi Yun said with a change in her expression.

Following this, she muttered to herself, “That’s impossible, the Gate of Lingyu isn’t supposed to open now!”

“What will happen if the Gate of Lingyu opens?”

Meng Chong asked as he opened the storage bag given by Zi Yun and pulled out the little booklet.

“Lingyu, is rumored to be the origin of Inner Realm Martial Arts, the real world of martial arts, while the Inner Domain is just barren. The Gate of Lingyu serves as the portal between the Inner Domain and Lingyu.

“Only when the Gate of Lingyu opens can one enter Lingyu, and only the mighty ones of Lingyu can enter the Inner Domain.

“The Inner Domain can’t open the Gate of Lingyu, only Lingyu can do that. The Demon Lord initially escaped from Lingyu to the Inner Domain.”

Zi Yun said gravely.

Meng Chong, meanwhile, had already started reading the small booklet.

This little booklet was left by a strong individual who had once entered the Inner Domain from Lingyu. It seemed intended to leave some inheritance for the man in the purple robe in the valley.

Zi Yun stumbled upon it.

In the booklet, the conditions in the valley were depicted, along with a brief introduction to the demon hunting battle and some related introductions to Lingyu, including the purpose of Yu Ling.

The more Meng Chong read, the more serious his face became, and a sense of yearning also emerged.

The Inner Domain was too small, the vast Martial Arts world was truly Lingyu.

“Lingyu!”

Meng Chong looked at the rippling peak, feeling thrilled within his heart, he said, “I will not leave for now, but watch to see what strong individuals come out from the Gate of Lingyu.

“Is it really like inside here, that any strong individual who comes from Lingyu to the Inner Domain can sweep through the Inner Domain uncontested bring it under their control.

“Are they truly lofty, treating the people of the Inner Domain like servants, like pigs and dogs!”

In the booklet, there are stories about how people from the Inner Domain who enter Lingyu would be directly captured to serve as slaves, as pigs and dogs. In the eyes of major powers in Lingyu, people from the Inner Domain are like pigs and dogs!

Even the high-ranking great grandmasters of the Inner Domain, after entering Lingyu, either kneel and serve as slaves to get a status in Lingyu, or are killed or driven back to the Inner Domain.

People from the Inner Domain, in Lingyu, are treated like pigs and dogs!

In the Inner Domain, the mighty ones who control powerful forces, enter the Lingyu and suffer such inhumane treatment, naturally they can’t tolerate such humiliation.

Thus, those who entered Lingyu were often killed off, and the people who followed had to reluctantly become slaves.

Only the ones holding the Yu Ling were regarded as humans. If their talents were not lacking, they could be taken in by the power where the Yu Ling came from, becoming members of that power in Lingyu.

Before the matter of the Demon Lord, Yu Ling in the Inner Domain was a treasure contested by the strong.

Now, nearly all the strong ones who knew about Yu Ling are gone.

That’s why Zi Yun came here to get Yu Ling.

The Gate of Lingyu in the Inner Domain is a secret known to very few people. Especially after the Demon Lord’s incident, the strong ones from Lingyu erased the record of the Gate of Lingyu.

This is also why the present peak Great Grandmasters of the Inner Domain hardly know about the existence of the Gate of Lingyu..
