What I teach you is real stuff.

After Lu Yuan completed the transformation of immortal energy, the commotion caused by his breakthrough in realm was even greater than that caused by Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming combined.

Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Jin Jiao Wang, and Wu Song all gasped in shock at the scene.

They had previously thought that with their teacher's profound knowledge, the breakthrough after absorbing immortal energy after completing the immortal energy conversion would be terrifying, but they never expected it to be this terrifying.

"Teacher's posture is like he's aiming straight for the Mystic Immortal realm."

"It's hard to say right now, but I'm afraid it's far more than just Xuanxian..."

Xiao Huang recalled that his teacher had killed those strange creatures from the Blood Lake in the outer realm. Those creatures from the outer realm were already at the level of True Immortals.

At that time, the teacher's realm had just broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, yet he was able to easily annihilate extraterrestrial beings at the True Immortal level multiple times, even though he had crossed two realms. At that time, the teacher's strength was probably already incredibly close to that of the Profound Immortal.

Now that he has arrived in the Immortal Realm, his strength has increased so much that his power level is probably far beyond that of a Xuanxian (Mystic Immortal)...

Taiyi Xuanxian? It's not impossible.

……

Inside the Sacred Ruins Cave, after Lu Yuan switched to a new cultivation technique, he suddenly felt that his upper limit had increased a hundredfold, and his immortal body began to frantically devour the immortal energy of the immortal realm.

At the same time, his realm and strength were rapidly expanding. In just an instant, he had jumped from the Celestial Immortal to the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, and then easily broke through to the Taiyi Celestial Immortal realm as if he had pierced through a window.

Then, he rapidly expanded from the Taiyi Celestial Immortal realm to its peak.

The realm of true immortals can be crossed in a single step.

Taiyi True Immortal, Peak Taiyi True Immortal...

Xuanxian!

A large amount of immortal energy began to condense in Lu Yuan's chest, and he began to refine the five elements within his chest.

In the realm of the Mysterious Immortal, one cultivates the five elements within the chest, using the five internal organs as a furnace to draw in immortal energy and condense the five elements. When the five elements are cultivated to a certain level, one can advance to the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal realm.

When a Taiyi Xuanxian reaches the state of Five Qi Converging, he becomes a Golden Immortal.

The Golden Immortal cultivates the Three Flowers on the Crown of the Head, which are the essence of essence, qi, and spirit. They gather at the Xuan Guan (mysterious gate) on the top of the head to achieve the unity of form and spirit. When all three flowers on the crown of the head have formed, one reaches the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and then comprehends the laws to enter the Great Luo realm.

Lu Yuan has broken through to the level of Xuanxian. His five internal organs have been transformed into the Five Organs Furnace. He uses his own essence, energy, and spirit as the furnace fire to transform immortal energy into the five elements in his chest for refining.

Lu Yuan internally examined the Five Internal Organs Furnace, where a large amount of immortal energy was continuously poured in, transforming into streams of five-colored energy that were refined and transformed by the Five Internal Organs Furnace.

"This is yet another change."

Upon first arriving in the Immortal Realm, one's own spiritual energy is enveloped by the immortal energy of the Immortal Realm, transforming from spiritual energy into immortal energy, resulting in a surge in strength—this is one layer of change.

After breaking through to the Xuanxian realm, the immortal energy is refined by the Five Internal Organs Furnace and transformed into the Five Qi in the chest, which is another layer of change.

"The five energies within the chest have endless uses, and they seem to be even stronger than immortal energy, essentially a more enhanced version of immortal energy. The five energies within the chest can not only be used for cultivation and breaking through realms, but also have many other uses."

For example, when used in combat, one can fight using the five elements within the chest, which is more powerful than using immortal energy to enhance supernatural abilities, and it is also more effective in controlling magical artifacts.

The Five Elements of the Mysterious Immortal can also nourish magical treasures, enhancing their rank and strength with extremely high efficiency. It can also be used to condense the Five Elements of the Mysterious Immortal Liquid, a highly valuable substance that not only helps low-level cultivators quickly improve their strength but also possesses an incredibly powerful effect of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body and condition of an immortal, surpassing even ordinary 13th-grade Taiyi True Immortal level pills.

"These five elements of the Mysterious Immortal are indeed extraordinary!"

Lu Yuan was full of praise after learning about the many wonderful uses of the Five Elements of the Mysterious Immortal.

Indeed, the higher the realm, the more methods one has. Reaching the Xuanxian realm and possessing the Five Qi in the chest is a qualitative leap. Not only does one's strength increase dramatically, but the most crucial thing is the many wonderful uses of the Five Qi in the chest.

Putting everything else aside, the ability to forge magical treasures using the five elements and to control magical artifacts and supernatural powers in battle using the five elements alone is enough to overwhelm all immortals below the Xuanxian level.

Not to mention, it can also condense the Five Qi Liquid of the Mysterious Immortal for others to use, which is comparable to the effect of a thirteenth-grade True Immortal pill.

Lu Yuan examined his internal organs and found that they seemed to be a little... abnormal.

"Is this what the five internal organs furnace of a normal Xuanxian (mysterious immortal) is like?"

Lu Yuan had never seen the Five Internal Organs Furnaces of other Xuan Immortals before, and did not know what the Five Internal Organs Furnaces in the bodies of other Xuan Immortals looked like.

His only encounter with a Xuanxian-level cultivator was during his battle with Lu Huo of the Chan Sect in the Azure Heaven World. However, at that time, Lu Huo's strength was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the lower plane, and Lu Yuan only fought against him and did not have the opportunity to see his Five Internal Organs Furnace.

At this moment, Lu Yuan looked inward at his internal organs and felt that his internal organs were somewhat unusual.

He saw that within each of his five internal organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—there was a dark cavern, and his internal organ furnace was still within that cavern.

Within the grotto-heaven, five colossal Five Internal Organs Divine Furnaces stood tall and imposing, dominating the Five Internal Organs Grotto-heaven. They resembled five black holes continuously devouring immortal energy and refining the five elements. The terrifying yet pure Xuanxian Five Elements were directly refined by the Great Luo Grotto-heaven True Scripture at an extremely rapid speed.

"Why do I feel that refining the five elements of the Profound Immortal is so easy? At this rate of refining the five elements, I won't need to cultivate immortal energy anymore. Whether it's cultivation, battle, nurturing magic treasures, or wielding magic weapons, I can just use the five elements of the Profound Immortal."

Looking at the speed at which his Five Organs Furnace could convert the five elements, Lu Yuan realized it could keep up with his consumption. So why would he need to cultivate immortal energy in the future? Why not just use the five elements of the Profound Immortal?
Moreover, Lu Yuan discovered that he could condense the Five Qi Spirit Liquid quickly, and could refine a drop in no time.

This thing is as effective as a 13th-grade Taiyi True Immortal Pill. And it was made so easily?

Lu Yuan felt that something was not right. If the Xuanxian Five Qi Spirit Liquid was so easy to refine, then the pills in the Immortal Realm should be worthless.

However, the fact proved that the 13th grade pills in the Immortal Realm were still extremely valuable, which meant that there was indeed a problem with his Five Organs Furnace. This was not the normal speed at which a Mystic Immortal could condense the Mystic Immortal Five Qi Spirit Liquid.

"It must be due to the cultivation technique!"

Lu Yuan immediately realized the reason: the reason why his Five Internal Organs Furnace had become so huge and transformed into a cave was due to the cultivation technique he had just upgraded using 1 trillion points.

Can the Great Luo Cave Heaven True Scripture transform the five internal organs of a Mysterious Immortal into a cave heaven, thereby strengthening the furnace of the five internal organs?
"Interesting! In this way, I can directly use the Five Elements of the Mysterious Immortal to cultivate and fight. So this is what makes the upgraded technique so powerful."

Although ordinary Xuanxian (mystical immortals) possess the Five Qi in their chests, these Five Qi are quite precious to them. The Five Organs Furnace must be refining the Five Qi in the chests at an extremely slow rate, so Xuanxian generally cherish the use of these Five Qi.

Most of the time, it is used sparingly to nurture magical treasures, and the five elements are only used to enhance combat strength in life-or-death battles.

However, the Great Luo Cave Heaven True Scripture directly strengthened Lu Yuan's Five Internal Organs Furnace, allowing him to refine the five elements in his chest at a speed that could fully supply his normal consumption. This was equivalent to giving him an unlimited Xuanxian Five Elements cheat.

While other Xuanxian were still carefully managing their five qi, Lu Yuan didn't need to conserve his five qi at all and could consume it freely, as the Five Organs Furnace in the Cave Heaven could provide him with a powerful guarantee of five qi.

Other Xuanxian used immortal energy to fight, while Lu Yuan used the enhanced five Xuanxian energies, making the difference in their strength immediately apparent.

"I knew it! How could a cultivation technique upgraded with 1 trillion points be weak? It's far ahead!"

As the Five Internal Organs Furnace in the Cave Heaven frantically refined the five elements in his chest, Lu Yuan simply transformed all the immortal energy in his body into the five elements of the Mysterious Immortal, and his cultivation level increased by a large margin.

Another century passed, and he emerged from seclusion.

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped out of the Sacred Ruins Cave, Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, and the others were already waiting outside to greet him. When they saw Lu Yuan come out, their eyelids twitched.

The teachers' understanding had indeed improved significantly; they could no longer fathom Lu Yuan's level of cultivation.

Before this, the teachers had been suppressing their cultivation levels in the lower plane, and at that time they were all ahead of Lu Yuan in terms of cultivation level.

Especially the Golden Horned King, who was at the peak of the Mahayana stage and about to ascend, while Lu Yuan had only just broken through to the Mahayana stage.

Now that they have ascended to the Immortal Realm, their teacher's cultivation level has surpassed theirs in an instant, which is terrifying.

Even Xiao Huang couldn't discern Lu Yuan's cultivation level, so he must be far above him.

Lu Yuan looked at them and said, "It seems you have all gained something, and your cultivation levels have improved considerably."

Lu Yuan could naturally see that Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming had made extremely rapid progress in their cultivation levels within the few hundred years since they ascended to the Immortal Realm. One was at the peak of True Immortal, and the other, with the support of two Immortal Techniques, had already reached the Taiyi True Immortal level.

The Golden Horn King and Wu Song, who were standing nearby, had also broken through to the True Immortal realm in the past few hundred years.

It's all good.

At this moment, Xiao Huang asked Lu Yuan out of curiosity, "Teacher, what level are you at now?"

Xiao Huang couldn't figure Lu Yuan out, so he simply asked him questions so that they could have a better understanding of the situation.

Lu Yuandao: "Mysterious Immortal."

"really……"

Xiao Huang muttered to himself, saying that his teacher had at least broken through to the Xuanxian realm, and he even suspected that Lu Yuan was hiding his true level or deliberately suppressing it, otherwise he could have gone even higher.

In fact, Lu Yuan did suppress it slightly; otherwise, with his abnormal Great Luo Cave Heaven True Scripture activating the Five Internal Organs Furnace to refine the Five Qi of the Profound Immortal, it would have helped him advance to the Taiyi Profound Immortal level in one go.

But Lu Yuan forcibly suppressed it.

After all, he had only just ascended to the Immortal Realm, and breaking through four major realms in a row was already quite outrageous.

If one were to break through to the Taiyi Xuanxian realm in one go, the nature of the situation would change drastically.

After all, a Taiyi Xuanxian is not even considered a mid-level immortal in the immortal realm. Once one ascends to Taiyi Xuanxian, one is essentially stepping onto the threshold of the upper echelons of the immortal realm.

Taking it one step further, one becomes a Golden Immortal, who is undoubtedly a high-ranking member of the Immortal Realm.

Every Taiyi Xuanxian is bound to be the focus of attention from all sides. Such beings cannot remain unknown; they are all listed on the leaderboard.

Taiyi Xuanxian would be considered an elite disciple in any of the three religions, and even in the West, he would be a candidate for Arhat.

If placed in the Heavenly Court, that would be a solid Heavenly General level, and a further step would make one a Divine General, basically capable of entering the Lingxiao Palace to listen to the Jade Emperor's meetings.

Firstly, he didn't want to break through to the Taiyi Xuanxian realm so quickly. The longer he stayed in the Xuanxian realm, the deeper his foundation would be, and the stronger his reserves would be. Only by accumulating strength can he unleash a powerful rebound. Just like his rebound when he ascended to the Immortal Realm this time, which allowed him to break through four major realms at once, this is what it means to accumulate strength and unleash a powerful rebound.

In the cultivation of immortality, slow is fast, and fast is slow.

Demonic cultivators cultivate at a much faster pace in the early stages than righteous cultivators, but looking across the Immortal Realm, how many demonic cultivators can ascend to immortality? Only a very small number of demonic cultivators can become immortals or ancestors in the Immortal Realm.

The top experts who truly stand at the pinnacle of the immortal realm all reached that point through their own accumulation of experience; there's nothing wrong with taking it a little slower.

Secondly, breaking through to the Taiyi Xuanxian realm so quickly will inevitably attract countless attention. Ascension information cannot be hidden; anyone with a keen eye can easily find out when Lu Yuan ascended. Without any background, breaking through to the Taiyi Xuanxian realm so quickly—no one can predict what will happen next. Who knows if some powerful figure who's interested in him will turn around and capture him for research? Being low-key isn't a bad thing.

Moreover, being at the Xuanxian realm doesn't necessarily mean one's actual strength is at the Xuanxian level.

Lu Yuan's current true combat strength can be flexibly changed and can be divided into several states.

In his normal state, with the combination of immortal energy, ancestral beast technique, divine fire, and magic weapon, Lu Yuan's strength is roughly at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, around half a step towards the Taiyi Xuanxian realm.

In his normal state, with the blessing of the laws, Lu Yuan can directly cross the threshold of Taiyi Xuanxian by relying on the laws, and he is not afraid of facing a true Taiyi Xuanxian in his complete form.

Lu Yuan, in his normal state plus a small amount of Xuanxian Five Qi state, can basically defeat a peak Taiyi Xuanxian and escape unscathed.

The strongest was Lu Yuan, who was fully utilizing the five elements of the Xuanxian realm. With the five elements of the Xuanxian realm at full frequency and all the laws being unleashed, Lu Yuan was confident that he could suppress the Taiyi Xuanxian.

However, the specifics will depend on actual combat. Lu Yuan has not yet experienced a real battle against a peak Taiyi Xuanxian, nor has he ever gone all out. Therefore, he cannot be sure how it will turn out. He will have to find an opportunity to fight in the future to find out.

However, even though he has only broken through to the Xuanxian level, it has already frightened King Jinjiao and the others quite a bit.

King Golden Horn couldn't help but say, "Teacher, I've read a lot of information about the Immortal Realm over the years. As far as I know, many ascendants from lower planes have increased their strength to the Taiyi Celestial Immortal level after completing the transformation of immortal energy, but those who have reached the peak of the Taiyi Celestial Immortal level are extremely rare."

Those who ascend to the True Immortal realm are extremely rare, and there are almost no records of anyone reaching the Taiyi True Immortal realm within a hundred years of ascension. As for the Profound Immortal realm, it's never even been mentioned. You really are…”

The Golden Horned King is no longer speaking.

He couldn't find anything else to say except that he was a pervert.

There is no such record in the Immortal Realm. How could someone who ascended from the lower realm cross four major realms in just a few hundred years?

Do you really think immortals are like cabbages growing on the roadside?
Lu Yuan said, "It's just a matter of accumulating experience before unleashing it; there's nothing surprising about it."

Don't ask, the answer is simply that great things come from long-term accumulation.

Lu Yuan didn't take his breakthrough to the Profound Immortal realm seriously, because he knew that the Immortal Realm was full of hidden talents. The Profound Immortal was just a mid-level Immortal. Although he wouldn't be reduced to a nobody, he could still find quite a few. At least he wasn't the only Profound Immortal in the Jade Heaven Kingdom.

The Xuanxian realm is only the beginning in the Immortal Realm, so what is there to be proud of?
Let's talk about it when we break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

In Lu Yuan's view, only Golden Immortals were barely qualified to dine at the table in the Immortal Realm.

If your strength isn't at the Golden Immortal level, how can you compete with those top-tier experts for a share of the pie?
King Jinjiao and the others were ashamed. After all, a teacher is a teacher. Their thoughts and goals were completely different from theirs.

Lu Yuan looked at the Golden Horn King and asked, "Are there any trading venues in the Jade Heaven Kingdom? Take me to see them."

The currency in the celestial realm is different from that in the mortal realm; it is used for transactions in celestial crystals.

The spirit stones used in the lower plane contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while the immortal crystals contain the immortal energy of the immortal realm. The two are completely different.

Although spirit stones from the lower realm can be converted into immortal crystals through certain mediums, it is both wasteful and has extremely low conversion efficiency.

In the US, one must earn US dollars; in the Immortal Realm, one must earn Immortal Crystals. Only in this way can one survive. Otherwise, constantly using the spirit stones provided by the lower realm to convert into Immortal Crystals and squandering them in the Immortal Realm is nothing more than sucking the blood of the Azure Heaven World.

If Lu Yuan wants to carve out his own path to wealth in the Immortal Realm, he first needs to check out some of the trading venues there.

King Jinjiao said, "Yes, there are teachers. Yutian Kingdom is a major country in Dongsheng Shenzhou. It has many exchanges run by powerful forces, such as the Tianbao Pavilion of Chan Sect, the Feixian Tower of Heavenly Court, the Wanjin Buddha Hall of the West, and the Jindan Tower of Doushuai Palace, etc."

Lu Yuan sighed, "These powerful forces really know how to do business."

It's no different from the Northern Continent Alliance in the lower realm. As expected of a powerful entity that has been entrenched in the Immortal Realm since ancient times, its businesses have spread to all four continents of the Immortal Realm. It's not easy to compete with these powerful figures.

This is much harder than trying to steal business from the Alchemist Alliance in the lower planes.

After all, the Alchemist Alliance only deals in pills, while in the Immortal Realm, powerful forces take in ascendants from all realms. Among these ascendants are talents from various fields, and their businesses are large, so their areas of expertise must be diverse and complex.

It would be extremely difficult to carve out a path to wealth amidst the machinations of these powerful forces.

Even so, we still have to go and see.

Led by the Golden Horn King, the group left the treasure land and headed to the Jade Heaven Kingdom's exchange.

King Golden Horn said, "In ancient times, the four continents were clearly divided, with different forces governing different continents and not crossing each other's boundaries."

But after several kalpas, especially after the west spread its religion eastward, everything became chaotic, and since then, various forces have been spreading their religions to each other.

Various schools of thought are scattered throughout the four continents. Even in many small kingdoms of the lower realms, it's possible to witness the absurd spectacle of various sects—the Heavenly Court, the Western Paradise, the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and even the Netherworld and demonic sects—gathering together.

"In just the Jade Heaven Kingdom, there are already many exchanges established by major powers, about sixteen or seventeen in total. They are all competitors, and each exchange is backed by a major power."

King Golden Horn led them through the Jade Heaven Kingdom while giving them a tour.

Xiao Huang brushed past several human-like demons who had taken human form. One of the larger demons bumped into Xiao Huang, and, in a fit of rage, cursed under his breath.

"Damn it, can't you see where you're going? You dare to bump into me, the Old Ancestor of Drill Wind? Do you want to die?"

Xiao Huang glanced at him; he was an old demon undergoing tribulation, whose true form was a pangolin.

"Drilling Wind Ancestor?" Little Huang was startled by this title.

What an awesome look.

The pangolin, however, was even more frightened when it looked at Xiao Huang and his group.

Holy crap, a Taiyi True Immortal!
There was another person next to him whose cultivation level was impossible to discern; he was probably at the peak of the Taiyi True Immortal realm or a Xuan Immortal!
The old ancestor of the Drilling Wind's eyes cleared instantly. He immediately realized what was happening and pointed at his companion's nose, cursing, "What are you looking at? I'm talking to you! Can't you see where you're going? Why did you push me just now? Do you think you can afford to offend an immortal?"

After saying that, the Old Ancestor of Drilling Wind whispered to Little Huang, "You agree, right, Immortal? I was blind and offended you. Please forgive me."

It seems that even the old demons of the immortal realm are well aware of the law of the jungle. Even great demons undergoing tribulation are opportunistic and can turn on you at any time.

Xiao Huang didn't bother with them; they were just a group of minor demons undergoing tribulation. He waved them away.

Lu Yuan looked at the exchange that the pangolins had come out of, which was called the Demon Treasure Cave, and the demonic energy inside was very strong.

He asked, "What's in here?"

King Golden Horn said, "This is an exchange run by a powerful demon, specifically for demon cultivators to trade. It sells many demon treasures."

"The background is the Jie Sect."

King Jinjiao whispered to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan understood. No wonder he could see many powerful demons here, including some at the True Immortal Realm.

After walking a few more steps, they saw another exchange, which was much more luxurious than the Demon Treasure Cave they had just visited.

It was magnificent and occupied a huge area; even the pillars at the entrance were inlaid with diamonds and gilded, making it very grand.

There were many cultivators coming and going at the entrance, indicating that it was a fairly large exchange, with the words "Ten Thousand Gold Buddhist Hall" written on it.

It truly is worth 'ten thousand gold'; just by looking at the decorations at the entrance, you can tell that the owner behind it is incredibly wealthy.

King Jinjiao said, "The Wan Jin Buddhist Hall is run by the Western Buddhist sect. The most popular items are Buddhist boxing techniques and body-refining techniques, which are all good things, but the downside is that they are extremely expensive."

King Jinjiao stated that Wan Jin Buddhist Hall was the most unscrupulous among all the exchanges opened by various forces, and the higher the cultivation level of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, the more they profited.

Those bald monks in the West have a particular fondness for hoarding money, especially for shiny gold items. Their Golden Body Technique requires a large amount of gold and immortal crystals for cultivation.

Buddhist items are certainly good, but their downside is that they are expensive.

Prices are generally one to two times higher than those on other exchanges.

Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched violently.

A premium of one or two times? That's outrageous! They really dare to sell like that. How can they even keep operating like this?

King Golden Horn: "We can't resist their superior quality. The Buddhist martial arts, fist techniques, and some secret skills are indeed top-notch in the immortal realm, and countless people want to cultivate them."

Moreover, the bald monks in Buddhism are very shrewd. They usually bundle physical skills with other premium products and set up consumption levels.

Only those who reach a certain level of consumption can purchase certain levels of cultivation techniques and secret arts. Therefore, you can't buy secret arts without selling their goods, which naturally leads to booming business.

Lu Yuan understood.

Oh, it's a monopoly and membership system, oh well.

Who can blame them when their Buddhist martial arts are unparalleled in the immortal realm? They have no shortage of customers.

Just as Lu Yuan and his companions stopped to watch, two portly, bald men, each seven or eight meters tall, emerged from the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall. Each of them carried two True Immortals, tossing them out like trash.

"You bastard, you dare to haggle at Wan Jin Buddhist Hall even though you have no money? Get lost!"

"Amitabha Buddha, forgive me, benefactor, if this happens again, I'll beat you every time!"

Xiao Huang was startled.

Is Western Buddhism really that fierce?

King Jinjiao said, "That is the wrathful Vajra enshrined in the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall. They are generally Taiyi True Immortals, and are very powerful as they are the guardians of the Buddhist community."

That's already considered good, but being kicked out and then haggling too much made them unhappy. The wrathful Vajra is known for its ability to tear people apart. I heard that last time, some celestial beings didn't know the rules and came to Wan Jin Buddhist Hall to buy things right after ascending to heaven.

Later, after picking out a bunch of items and realizing he couldn't afford them at the checkout, the bald Buddhist salesman felt he'd been mocked and summoned the wrathful Vajra, who promptly tore the celestial beings to pieces.

Although the customer is king, the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall is backed by Buddhism and is not under the control of the king. The Vajra directly tears the king apart.

Lu Yuan: "6!" (End of Chapter)
