Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 188 The Yellow Spring True Water
The inner vault was heavily guarded. Kuang Shou and Fang Jingxuan had to show the credentials given to them by Xiao Yan and go through several checks before they were allowed to enter.

This vast storehouse contains thousands of treasures; ordinary spiritual materials are simply not qualified to be included.

After the mad beast entered, it separated from Fang Jingxuan. Judging from the direction it was heading, it seemed to be the area for beast-related spiritual materials.

Fang Jingxuan hesitated only slightly before abandoning the magical artifacts and pills, heading straight for the rare Five Elements spiritual materials area.

Looking at the hundreds of spiritual materials in front of him, each of which was of the second rank or higher, Fang Jingxuan's eyes almost shot out a bright light.

But he knew that his every move was being monitored by an array, and many eyes were watching his actions.

Furthermore, these spiritual materials are all protected by restrictions, making it impossible to take even one more than necessary.

Therefore, Fang Jingxuan could only resist the temptation and do his best to find the spiritual material he longed for.

That's right, Fang Jingxuan's target this time is one of the rare and precious natural waters.

In this cultivation world, there are naturally more than just seven kinds of wondrous waters; if you were to count them carefully, there would be over a hundred.

However, the conditions for obtaining the rare water that meets the requirements of "Xuanyuan Zhenjie" and combines with Xuanming Zhenqi are extremely demanding.

Of course, although this rare water is extremely difficult to obtain, this place is located in the Chaotic Star Sea, which is rich in water-based spiritual materials. In addition, the Holy Infant Sect has more than 20 Foundation Establishment cultivators and two to three thousand Qi Refining cultivators. The sect's large storehouse should also contain several kinds of rare water collected from here.

As for whether it's what Fang Jingxuan needs and can be used in "Xuanyuan Zhenjie," that depends on fate.

But when I first came to this chaotic star sea, I used the "Spur of the Moment" divination method and found that this direction was the most auspicious. So my luck shouldn't be too bad, right?

With this in mind, Fang Jingxuan quickly examined the water-based spiritual materials inside. After looking through hundreds of different kinds of spiritual materials, Fang Jingxuan's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Before me was a skull cup shaped like a wine glass, containing a pool of translucent, yellowish-brown liquid that looked eerily like liquid phosphorescence.

This liquid, when still, resembles melted Tianhuang stone, but when flowing, it is viscous like glue, leaving a brief trail of mist in mid-air.

Within this pale mist, distorted faces of the dead occasionally appear, emitting silent wails.
Upon seeing this object, Fang Jingxuan immediately thought of a wondrous water from heaven and earth, the True Water of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs!

Legend has it that this true water can only spontaneously gather into the "illusory shadow of the River Styx" on a night of waning moon, when the yin energy is extremely dense. It can attract wandering souls and ghosts within a hundred miles to drown in it, forming a brief passage between yin and yang.

Then, after sunrise, all the wandering souls were refined and, together with the Yellow Springs water that briefly connected to the underworld, formed this pool of true water.

According to the description of the strange water in the book "Xuanyuan Zhenjie", the strange water in front of him, which was the size of a skull, was very much in line with the characteristics of the true water of the Yellow Springs in the Nine Netherworld.

However, compared to the descriptions in the records, the Yellow Spring True Water in front of us is not of a very high grade.

According to the true explanation, a truly powerful being can tear apart Yin and Yang, directly refine the countless lonely souls within the underworld, and draw upon the Yellow Springs River to refine such true water.

Such pure water is of the highest quality; even a tiny sliver of it would be coveted by Golden Core cultivators.

While this pool of true water is rare, it does appear occasionally. After all, within the Holy Infant Sect's territory spanning seven or eight thousand miles, there must be areas where such naturally occurring water can be found.

Upon seeing the water, Fang Jingxuan immediately picked it up and indicated that this was the spiritual material he wanted.

As Fang Jingxuan made his move, the Foundation Establishment cultivator controlling the array behind the scenes automatically released the restriction on the spiritual material, allowing Fang Jingxuan to take it away. After Fang Jingxuan put the item into his storage bag and left the main storehouse, the raging beast outside had been waiting for a while. It didn't ask Fang Jingxuan what he had obtained, and Fang Jingxuan tactfully didn't discuss it.

The two returned to Xiao Yan's mountain in silence, and then someone brought them a storage bag containing five hundred high-grade spirit stones.

The beast casually bounced around, then said:

"How about we go to the island's market to buy some things? After all, money is only useful if it's spent."

Fang Jingxuan politely declined the invitation from the mad beast.
"No, there are still more than two months before the battle, there's no need to rush. Brother Kuang, you go first."

Seeing that Fang Jingxuan wasn't going, the Mad Beast curled his lip, then left Fang Jingxuan behind and headed towards the island's market.

After the beast left, Fang Jingxuan could no longer suppress the smile on his lips. He chuckled silently a few times, then quickly flew towards his cave.

Inside the quiet room, Fang Jingxuan took out the cup of Yellow Spring True Water. Unexpectedly, this true water was the first Gang Sha Divine Power that he wanted to refine.

Currently, Fang Jingxuan has refined more than half of his first strand of Xuanming True Qi. Although it has not reached perfection, it is still able to melt and contain this True Water.

One hundred catties of Xuanming True Qi is only the minimum standard for condensing Gang Sha. If Fang Jingxuan wants to further enhance the power of this Gang Sha, then the more Xuanming True Qi and the corresponding Heaven and Earth Wonder Water, the better.

As long as there are enough resources, Fang Jingxuan can continue refining until his magic power reaches its limit in the Foundation Establishment stage, and until his soul can no longer control this aura. Only then will the refining process be over.

However, Fang Jingxuan felt that his limit of Gang Sha was far from enough. What was a hundred catties of Xuanming True Qi? Only a thousand catties would make him feel the pressure.

If he could refine this true water, he would be almost certain of victory in the life-or-death battle on the arena. After all, the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation" was considered an amazing technique even by Golden Core cultivators, but it relied entirely on these seven powerful auras to dominate.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan released Tuoyuan Protector, and then, according to the records in "Xuanyuan True Explanation", began to draw out the Yellow Spring True Water and directly began to refine it.

Two months passed quickly, and today was the day when Fang Jingxuan, along with Xiao Yan and the Mad Beast, would go to Daqian Island to fight in the life-or-death arena.

At dawn, Fang Jingxuan was dressed in a black robe, with a second-grade high-quality magic hairpin, a dragon-patterned jade belt around his waist, which was also a second-grade magic artifact, and a pair of Kui Niu exotic animal skin boots on his feet. This whole outfit cost fifty high-quality spirit stones.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and this attire made Fang Jingxuan appear young, promising, and exuding an air of nobility.

Meanwhile, the beast on the side wore an animal skin apron, his chest was bare, revealing large areas of tattoos, giving off a very savage and unrestrained feeling.

In front of the three were about ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were the people gathered by the other three elders.

This trip was led by Xiao Yan and another female elder, who was also the only female cultivator among the four, Madam Ye.

The other two elders stayed behind to guard the area and prevent the Thousand Sun Sect from using this move as a ploy to lure the enemy away from their stronghold.

At this moment, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators had arrived, so Xiao Yan waved his hand, and a third-tier flying shuttle slowly approached from afar.

At this moment, Fang Jingxuan's soul was extremely sharp, and he sensed a hidden gaze watching him.

He turned his head and met Madam Ye's scrutinizing gaze.
