Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 376 Borrowing Spirit Stones. (First Update!)

It's Qu Daoren!

The numerous disciples of the Heavenly Artifact Sect who had been waiting in the floating plaza immediately perked up, casting curious glances at the three figures on the giant corpse's hand.

Few independent cultivators knew of Qu Daoren's name, but it was no secret among the six major sects.

In the past ten years or so, the other party has rarely appeared in the sight of the six major sects. In earlier times, he would bring his disciples to participate in the six sects competition in this region every time.

And in every Six Sects Grand Competition, the disciples of this Daoist Qu would shine brightly!
Now, the well-dressed and distinguished young man and woman on the corpse's hand are the newly accepted disciples of Daoist Qu.
Amidst their thoughts, the disciples only dared to glance briefly at the gray-robed elder. Although he was simply dressed and his aura remained impeccable, making him seem like an ordinary old man, the disciples dared not be negligent in order to have so many people from the Heavenly Artifact Sect come to greet him.

Their gazes were mostly fixed on the two cultivators, a man and a woman, behind the old man, their curiosity mixed with a hint of competitiveness.

At this moment, the gray-robed old man on the corpse's hand took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the five leading cultivators of the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

Qu Daoren didn't look at them, casually glancing at the vast floating city below before speaking indifferently: "Where is Wantong Mountain?"

The leading cultivator immediately replied, "The sect leader is already in the council hall, awaiting Senior Qu's arrival."

"This way, please, senior!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the two disciples behind Qu Daoren, and then said, "Our Heavenly Artifact Sect floats in the sky, and its scenery is different from other places."

"Since your two esteemed disciples have come from afar, why not give them a look around?"

Qu Daoren nodded calmly.

Therefore, the leading cultivator immediately instructed several of the most outstanding inner disciples to take care of Qu Daoren's disciples and let them play around in the Heavenly Artifact Sect, while he and four others escorted Qu Daoren toward the council hall.

The sky is vast and boundless, teeming with spiritual energy.

The giant corpse hand slowly retracted, and the corpse aura surrounding it, resembling a cloud, also rapidly dissipated. Soon, this corpse puppet, as tall as a towering peak, stood upright and stood silently not far from the floating city of the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

A crimson mist permeated the air, obscuring its overall appearance, except for its legs, which, like towering mountains, remained partially hidden within the red fog.

The meeting hall.

The wide corridor had obviously been cleared out long ago and was now deserted, except for five Tianqi Sect cultivators leading Qu Daoren forward.

click, click, click...

After walking in silence for a while, the leading cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect suddenly probed, "Senior, have you already made up your mind about coming to our Heavenly Artifact Sect this time?"

"The sect leader has already given instructions that as long as you nod, the previously agreed terms can be increased by 30%."

"Disciples of the senior need not be assessed and can directly enjoy the treatment of true disciples of the Heavenly Artifact Sect."

Qu Daoren walked on indifferently, showing no intention of answering the other party's question.

The leading cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect frowned slightly upon seeing this, and immediately said, "Senior, please forgive my bluntness, but you currently have only two disciples."

"According to the bet made back then, if you want to establish a sect, you need at least three true disciples."

"There is less than a year until the Six Sects Grand Competition. Even if you were to take on another disciple now, it would be too late to train him. Why not come directly to my Heavenly Artifact Sect?"

"Our sect is one of the six sects in this region, with a long history and is now at its peak. It is a perfect match with you, senior, and this is a mutually beneficial thing."

Qu Daoren's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard the other person's voice at all.

Upon seeing this, the leading cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect immediately realized that his cultivation level was insufficient!

In Qu Daoren's eyes, his five companions had absolutely no right to speak with the other party. The fact that they were leading the way was solely out of consideration for the Heavenly Artifact Sect…

Realizing this, the Heavenly Artifact Sect cultivator said no more and continued walking towards the council hall with Daoist Qu.

Flowery Cave.

In the quiet room, Zheng Que slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and glanced around, only to find the cloud bed in disarray, the enchanting atmosphere in the room not yet completely dissipated, and Gao Yinxia nowhere to be seen.

He immediately sat up, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and began to dress quickly.

Just as he finished fastening his belt, a figure in a yellow blouse and green skirt appeared before him.

The newcomer was none other than Mu Xiangu, who was still in the form of Fu Qingge from the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

At this moment, Mu Xiangu glanced at Zheng Que and said with an unnatural expression, "That female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect is already cultivating."

"Leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que felt a pang of disappointment, but considering that he had already cultivated with her once, he didn't want to disturb her any further. He nodded and then asked via telepathy, "Miss Mu, I might need to buy some things at the Crane Cry Tower auction in the prefectural city, but I may not have enough spirit stones on hand."

"Could you help me borrow some more from Gao Yinxia?"

Spiritual stone?

Mu Xiangu was immediately annoyed. Spirit stones were of no use to her, but Zheng Que had just taken her divination, and he still had the nerve to ask her for things!

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a pawn of that great man in the underworld, she would definitely have skinned this guy alive!
Thinking of this, Mu Xiangu replied irritably, "I will ask for you after the female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect finishes her cultivation."

Zheng Que listened and nodded in satisfaction.

He found that Mu Xiangu was quite reliable in his work.

Right now, he needs to make sure he has enough spirit stones to buy what he wants at this auction. He can worry about everything else after the auction is over...

Without further hesitation, Zheng Que took the soul-nourishing bag from Mu Xiangu and immediately walked outside.

A moment later, he returned to his Linghai Cave, checked it briefly to make sure no one had broken in while he was away, then sat down in the main seat and took out a jade slip.

This is the "Transformation Sutra" given to him by Xiang Songnian.

He has now reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining and can begin preparing for Foundation Establishment.

This "Transformation Scripture" contains methods for cultivators to establish their foundation.

While pondering, he placed the jade slip between his eyebrows and began to comprehend the foundation-building method within.

Time passed slowly, and Zheng Que became increasingly engrossed in his work.

He felt his mind was clearer than ever before. Many things he didn't understand before suddenly became clear because his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he instantly understood the key points. Many questions that were previously vague also became extremely clear because of his cultivation level and personal experience, as if he could see the lines on his palm...

Before he knew it, it was already late at night. Zheng Que, with a look of lingering satisfaction on his face, slowly put down the jade slip.

He now possesses the "law," the method for building a foundation.

To achieve foundation building, you only need one thing!
