As the Sparrow move at high speeds through the air, everyone's gaze shifted from Li Shen, except for one person.
Longwei was still looking at him curiously, while Li Shen himself was trying to ignore his gaze.
After a while of staring, Longwei turned to Longmin and ask, "Little brother, who is this? And why are you bringing him with us?"
Hearing his brother's question, Longmin immediately answered, "He's our new servant, and he'll be returning back to the clan with us."
Li Shen who was calmly sitting next to Longmin, nearly choked on air as he heard that. He turned to Longmin ready to refuse, because who would want to become someone's servant?
But before he could, Longmin turn to him with a smile and said, "Senior brother Shen, if I hadn't rescued you back there, you would have died at your fellow disciple's hands. So that means you owe me senior brother Shen. If you want to repay me what you owe, you can either become a servant… or hand over something of equal value."
When Li Shen heard that, his eyes bulged. He couldn't believe the shameless words Longmin was spouting.
Li Shen suddenly regretted being saved by Longmin.
He was obviously using this situation to try and extort the technique he had from him.
He then Remembered Longmin's words from before, that he wouldn't forcefully take someone's possession. Li Shen felt like he was going to cough up blood because he just realized what he had meant by that. Longmin wouldn't forcefully take something from someone, but he had no qualms using extortion methods to have that person hand it over.
Li Shen gritted his teeth.
'Even if I wanted to hand the technique over to him, the original manual in my Sea of Consciousness can't be removed without me dying, and my comprehension of it is insufficient to transfer it via writing.'
Li Shen glared at the smiling Longmin before he huff and turned away, feeling indignant about his current situation.
'Why did this have to happen to me.' Li Shen thought while sighing to himself.
'It's because of that bastard Xiang Shi chasing me into the inner region. If I wasn't forced into escaping here, then I wouldn't have met this demon and get trapped in this situation.'
'Wait a minute!!'
Li Shen's expression suddenly changed as he thought of something.
'The inner region is several thousand kilometers in size, and it covers a vast distance that's filled with enormous mountains and forest trees. How did I manage to encounter the one person I didn't want to in such a large place? Is my luck really so bad as to coincidentally meet this demon brat when I was escaping from Xiang Shi?'
Li Shen was frowning in confusion before his face suddenly go pale.
He hurriedly closed his eyes and sunk into a meditative state. His consciousness appeared within his dantian soon after in the form of a translucent projection.
Within his Dantian, stood two enormous golden cores, along with a half finish one.
This signaled that Li Shen would soon reach the peak of the early Core Formation realm.
Aside from the two and a half golden cores, a deep blue colored sphere the size of a fist was in the center of the cores. It was releasing a colorful blue radiance in the dark void as it rotated soundlessly in place.
One could also see three blue streams flowing from it towards the three golden cores.
As Li Shen's consciousness fully formed, he wasted no time and immediately went up to the glowing blue sphere. The blue sphere's rotation came to a stop before Li Shen placed his hand on its surface.
As soon as he did, his consciousness was sucked into it.
In the blue sphere, Li Shen looked around the large surroundings and all that he saw was his Mirror Aura.
This blue sphere was something that he got along with the manual in his Sea of Consciousness.
The manual detailed a cultivation method called 'Reflecting All In Creation'.
To be honest, Li Shen had no idea what the level of this cultivation method was, but he did know that base on the small things he learned and comprehended about it, it must be an extremely terrifying technique.
The manual also stated that the only way to cultivate the technique was to possess this blue sphere that was filled with Mirror Aura. The first step when cultivating Reflecting All In Creation was to totally replace his Spiritual Qi with Mirror Aura.
And like the manual in his Sea of Consciousness that was fused with his soul, this blue sphere filled with Mirror Aura was fused with his Dantian.
So if someone wanted to steal his cultivation technique, they would have no way to cultivate it if they didn't get their hands on this blue sphere.
When both were fusing with him, Li Shen was in so much pain that he felt like he would rather die. He would never forgive himself if he went through that pain only to let someone forcefully take the manual from him. If he was to ever be in a situation where he couldn't fight back, then he would destroy his own dantian and the blue sphere in the process, making it so that the person never gets to cultivate his cultivation method, Reflecting All In Creation.
Li Shen started looking around inside of the world of the blue sphere before a frown appeared on his face.
'This will take forever if I just aimlessly look around like this.'
After saying that, Li Shen closed his eyes, and his projection started dissipating into the surroundings.
His consciousness then engulfed the entire sphere and began observing the Mirror Aura within it. He was looking for something, he didn't know what it was but if he saw it he would know.
After a while, in a far corner of the 'mirror world', a strand of Mirror Aura was about to leave and fuse with one of Li Shen's cores, but a red rune flashed for a split second within it, causing the strand of Mirror Aura to suddenly divert from the flow leading outside to just starting roaming around.
The flash of the rune was so fast that if someone wasn't looking closely, they would have missed it entirely.
However, Li Shen had managed to spot it.
'There it is!! He had actually tampered with that strand of Mirror Aura before he returned it to me!!'
Li Shen was absolutely dumbfounded.
'I was so preoccupied with Xiang Shi that I hadn't noticed it.'
As Li Shen thought that to himself, his consciousness formed near the strand of Mirror Aura before his hand caught it.
Li Shen glance down at the strand of Mirror Aura and squeezed. The Mirror Aura immediately dissipated to reveal a pin-size red rune that had several complex symbols all over its small surface.
'That bastard!! This must be how he was able to find me!!'
Li Shen angrily pinched his fingers and crushed the small red rune.

In the outside world, Longmin was speaking to Longmin via Spiritual Sense.
"Brother, senior brother Shen's cultivation method is very strange. It can actually imitate the properties of another person's Spiritual Qi. And from what I sensed when I inspected one of the technique's strands of energy, it contains enough profundities that even left me baffled. I suspect that replicating someone's Spiritual Qi is only a basic function of the technique! Brother, this technique is unlike anything I have ever seen before, it's completely different from normal cultivation methods. It's like a whole other line of Spiritual Qi cultivation, but in this case, the thing being cultivated isn't Spiritual Qi. There might be some similar techniques out there but none this profound!"
The more Longmin spoke, the more his words become rushed. Longmin had never encountered a technique that his Dao Eyes found so difficult to analyze. Even the Sage-level Legacy cultivation methods in his clan weren't so profound to such an absurd degree.
As Longmin's voice entered Longwei's head, he could tell from his brother's tone of voice that he was extremely excited.
'He's acting like a little child that just found a new toy.'
Longwei mused to himself before he went to respond to his brother. Even though he didn't possess Spiritual Sense, which could allow him to send spiritual messages through the air, he could still use his Spiritual Strength's vibrations to communicate with Longmin.
"If it's so strong, then does that mean it's more powerful than our Legacy Techniques?" Longwei asked while sounding skeptical.
Longmin's Spiritual Sense goes silent for a while, before he said, "Even though I can't tell what the level the cultivation method is because I haven't seen it, I'm certain that it surpasses a Sage-level cultivation method, and reached the Heaven-level."
When Longwei heard that, he became stunned. He was about to ask more questions, but he suddenly felt Longmin's Spiritual Sense tremble.
He wasn't the only one that had sensed it, Weisheng had opened his eyes to look at him, as well as the two bodyguards.
Even though the two black robe bodyguards had their Spiritual Senses' covering everyone, they didn't dare try and intercept their young master's spiritual message.
After Longmin's Spiritual Sense trembled, he had instantly turned to look at Li Shen.
The reason his Spiritual Sense had trembled, was because the rune he had secretly placed within Li Shen to track him, had suddenly been destroyed.
'Did senior brother Shen find my rune?'
Longmin thought to himself as he stared at Li Shen next to him.
Even though Li Shen had his eyes closed, Longmin could tell he had left his meditative state. He was just closing his eyes to avoid Longmin's gaze.
Longmin smiled at this.
'The rune's not that important, since it could only work if I was a certain distance away. Plus, it had already served its purpose.'
Longmin's Spiritual Sense suddenly sensed Longwei's Spiritual Strength vibrations.
"Little brother what's wrong, why was there a disturbance in your Spiritual Sense?" Longwei asked with slight concern.
Longmin turn away from Li Shen, as he sent a response to Longwei, "I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about."
Hearing his brother's response, Longwei nodded his head.
"Ok, I'll leave that Shen person to you, and I'll handle that bastard Weisheng. Though, if you manage to discover what he's hiding with your Dao Eyes, tell me. If it's something worth worrying about, I'll immediately kill him."
As Longwei said that, his eyes flash with a rather tyrannical aura.
He wouldn't show any mercy to anyone who wished harm upon him, his clan, or his brother… especially his brother.
Longmin nodded his head while he stared off in the cloud fill horizon.
The outline of a Palace was coming into view, and the fact that Longmin could see the top of it from above the clouds at such a far distance away, shows that it was absolutely enormous in size.

~Fun Fact~
I'm writing another novel called, The Founder of Qi Cultivation Reincarnates. If any of my lovely readers enjoy reincarnation novels, check it out by typing the title into Webnovel's search bar.
Oh and remember to leave a vote to support this novel if you enjoy reading it and want to see more chaps.
See ya!! ~waves gb~
Edit: Hey guys, I made a massive mistake, I previously wrote that there were three QI Pillars in Li Shen's dantian, but it should be cores instead. In the future I'm gonna post a chapter explaining the cultivation prosses in this novel and some other things, so look out for that.
Ancient Treasure Palaces.
For any disciples who enter the Yellow Leaf Valley's Lesser Pocket Realm, they have all heard of this name before.
Within the competitions that are held in the sects and clans, those young elites have risked life and limb for a chance to enter this Pocket Realm and stand before one of those Ancient Treasure Palaces.
If they were able to, then they might have a chance to gain heavenly weapons that they could give to their sect in exchange for an enormous amount of cultivation resources.
The competition for resources within the sects and clans was always fierce, but if they could get access to that enormous amount of cultivation resources, then they could increase their cultivation by leaps and bounds.
However, their desire for heavenly weapons was actually secondary. What they really wanted more than anything, was to receive an ancient cultivation method.
It was said that in all the years the Wu Clan ruled over this continent and even the rulers before them, there had only ever been seven recorded ancient cultivation methods that were given out.
And for the person's in the know, all those ancient cultivation methods were the current seven Legacy Techniques of the Wu Clan.
However, that information was actually inaccurate.
The number of techniques that were discovered in the Ancient Palaces was countless. People only remember those seven cultivation methods because of all the buzz they caused when they first appeared.
As a matter of fact, the countless cultivation methods and Daoist Magic that were retrieved by disciples in the Lesser Pocket Realms over the years, have actually become the foundation that spawned most of the current sects and clans on the Wu Continent.
And that's not only on the Wu Continent, the Xingyun Dynasty had a Greater Pocket Realm and their four Legacy Techniques had come from it.
Some historians even speculated that all the high-level, and even the low-level techniques used by the current cultivators on planet Daiyu, had originated from either the three Lesser Pocket Realms on the Wu Clan or the Greater Pocket Realm on the Central Continent.
When these speculations first came out people had refused to believe them as they were too ridiculous, but when the evidence was shown to them that the techniques used now could be traced back to one or two techniques found in the Pocket Realms, they had no choice but to consider that it was possible.
Over the years, numerous techniques have been brought back from the Pocket Realms, and from those, other techniques were derived. Thus making all the techniques used by the current generation of cultivators being connected to the Pocket Realms.
So one can see why the young elites place so much importance on gaining an ancient cultivation method, or Daoist Magic from the Ancient Treasure Palace.
If they got one that could rival or even surpass the current Legacy Techniques of the major powers, they could gain enough power to dominate their generation and have their names carved into the history books, becoming legends for years to come.
Those dreams might be outlandish or far-fetched, but they could gain a Heaven-Grade technique that would make those dreams closer to achieving.
But the chance of a Heaven-Grade cultivation appearing was near to impossible.
In all the years, several heavenly prodigies have entered the Pocket Realm but none of them had been deemed qualified by the Ancient Treasure Palace to receive a Heaven-Grade technique.
Some people even say that the reason why no disciples have been able to receive a Heaven-Grade technique was that the Ancient Treasure Palace had none...
The Ancient Treasure Palace resembled a tower with numerous floors that rose to the heavens. Upon seeing such a gigantic structure, anyone would become stunned.
And what would stun them even more, was the fact that it was made entirely out of superior-grade spirit stones!!
One should know that in the outside world, a fist-size superior-grade spirit stone was enough to buy an entire city!!
The fact that this Palace was made entirely out of superior-grade spirit stone was mind-boggling. Anyone who saw it for the first time would go wide-eyed, before trying to scrape off a grain of it.
It was just that valuable.
However, aside from being extremely valuable, it was also unfortunately extremely durable. Even Nirvana realm cultivators would struggle to leave a mark on a fist size amount, much less Core Formation disciples trying to scratch some off of this humongous Palace made from it.
At the base of the Ancient Treasure Palace, was a circular marker that went all around it. The marker was about one thousand meters away from the base of the Ancient Treasure Palace.
In front of the Ancient Treasure Palace, several dozens of young elites could be seen within the marker, sitting in a cross-legged position in meditation.
Three disciples within that group had ten meters of the area around them clear of other disciples.
Outside of the marker, another hundred or so people were gathered looking on at all the disciples sitting inside.
All of a sudden, a bright golden light appeared from the fourth floor of the Ancient Treasure Palace. Afterward, a beam of golden light shot down towards one of the three disciples that had the space clearing around them.
That disciple was a youth that looked unremarkable at a first glance and was even on the skinny side. However, if someone took a closer look at him, they would sense a rather tyrannical aura emanating from his body.
Along with his tattered clothes, he resembled an unruly barbarian.
The golden beam came to a stop just short of a foot in front of him.
Within this golden light was a jade-green halberd that gave off an immense amount of pressure. The blade at its top was around four meters wide, with its shaft being around eight meters long.
The rather large halberd looked like it was meant for a miniature giant.
The youth opened his eyes and stared at the jade-green halberd. Without wasting any time, he sent out his Spiritual Sense and placed his spiritual imprint onto it, effectively binding it to him.
After that was complete, the golden aura surrounding the halberd faded away. The pressure of the halberd that was being kept in check, was now able to spread out unrestrained.
The sheer pressure the halberd released caused the surrounding air to twist and warp, however, the pressure did not affect the youth as he easily clasped its shaft with his hand.
Despite the halberd weighing hundreds of pounds, the youth still freely swung it around like it was a feather.
The disciples outside the marker, who saw the halberd in the youth's hand began to cry out in surprise.
"That's a supreme grade treasure!! Shen Long was actually able to receive a supreme grade treasure!!"
Another disciple shouted, "No wonder he was given the title of the strongest Core Formation disciple in his sect. His talent is just too astounding, just look at how he was the first to assimilate with the Ancient Treasure Palace and had even gotten a supreme-grade treasure!"
"It's even an exact fit for his Tyrannical Demon God Body cultivation, what amazing luck!" Someone who was more observant said.
As the crowd of disciples become noisy with commotion, they suddenly saw another golden glow on the Ancient Treasure Palace's fourth floor.
Slightly stunned, they all watched as a golden beam headed for another one of the large clearings several meters away.
The person within that clearing, that the beam was headed for, was a young girl.
This young girl was extremely beautiful with all the right features and proportions. Her skin-tight clothing further outlined her curves, causing all the boys who looked at her to drool with desire.
The golden beam stop in front of her and like the previous youth, she placed her spiritual imprint onto the item inside.
After the golden glow vanished, everyone saw what the item inside was.
The 'items' were two pairs of circular white disks.
All the disciples who were looking on in anticipation suddenly sported disappointed expressions on their faces.
They didn't sense any pressure from the item, and they didn't look that remarkable, so they all thought that she had received a defective magic treasure.
