Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 218 Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, Reward: Five Poisons Nascent Soul Powder

"Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday, fellow disciples and comrades."

"I see that it's rare for everyone to get together, so let's not discuss any national affairs today. Just eat and drink well, and don't put too much pressure on yourselves..."

As noon approached, the Northern Cold True Lord saw that the invited high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom had arrived one after another. He then had various precious dishes brought out and said some words of encouragement and inspiration to everyone.

However, upon hearing this, everyone felt that True Lord Beihan was more approachable today.

But they all still seemed a bit reserved.

After all, no matter what, the other party is a Nascent Soul cultivator and the supreme leader of their Xia Kingdom. No one dares to be too presumptuous in front of him.

Even when it came to offering a toast to True Lord Beihan on his birthday, no one dared to take the lead.

Finally, Gu Xi broke the silence, noting that among everyone present, apart from Bei Han Zhenjun, he was the most senior.

So he took the lead, raised his wine glass, and led everyone in toasting and congratulating True Lord Beihan.

Yang Feng followed the crowd and offered his congratulations to True Monarch Bei Han, while also giving True Monarch Bei Han a careful look.

He noticed that the other person looked significantly older and thinner than when he first met him after breaking through to the Immortal Golden Core Realm.

According to Yang Feng's understanding, the theoretical lifespan of a cultivator who has reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm is about a thousand years.

If one could break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm like his master, True Monarch Mingwu, the theoretical lifespan limit could be around 1,300 years.

Unfortunately, when his third senior brother, True Monarch Beihan, reached the peak of the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm, his physical age had already passed its peak, causing his cultivation to stop at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and he was unable to advance any further to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This means that the upper limit of the lifespan of True Monarch Beihan is probably only about a thousand years.

Now that the other person is 800 years old, it means that they only have about 200 years left to live.

Yang Feng didn't know whether his third senior brother had consumed any fourth-grade longevity-enhancing treasures in recent years after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

If one takes it, their lifespan might be extended by several decades, or even a hundred years.

However, if he did not take it, it would mean that his third senior brother would only have about two hundred years left to live.

After all, according to Yang Feng's understanding, fourth-tier treasures that extend lifespan are extremely difficult to cultivate.

In general, small cultivation countries like their Xia Kingdom find it very difficult to cultivate this kind of fourth-tier treasure material that can prolong life.

As for consuming second- or third-tier longevity-enhancing substances, they have no effect on longevity for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Therefore, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought about how his third senior brother was now eight hundred years old.

After all, the closer a cultivator gets to the upper limit of their lifespan, the more severe the decline in their physical functions.

Yang Feng was worried that by then, when the True Monarch Wanhe of Wuqi Kingdom had recovered his Nascent Soul Realm strength...

As for his third senior brother, True Monarch Beihan, he worries that if he gets old and his strength declines significantly, even if he reveals some of his trump cards and joins forces with his third senior brother, they may not be a match for the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Wuqi Kingdom.

After all, there is a huge difference in strength between Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even though he currently possesses several mid-grade fourth-tier treasures capable of severely injuring or even killing early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, with his Golden Core realm cultivation, he simply couldn't unleash the full power of those fourth-tier magic treasures.

This left Yang Feng feeling uncertain about whether he could rely on his powerful trump cards to overcome a major realm barrier and severely injure or even kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, even if he were to use his Golden Core cultivation to severely injure or even kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be impossible.

Yang Feng was also worried that if he revealed that he possessed multiple mid-grade fourth-tier treasures, it might attract the covetousness of some stronger Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Plains Continent.

After all, according to Yang Feng's understanding, even some cultivators who have reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm would be envious of treasures like the mid-grade fourth rank.

Yang Feng's cultivation level is currently too weak. If outsiders were to find out that he, a Golden Core cultivator, possesses multiple mid-grade fourth-tier treasures, the news would likely attract Nascent Soul cultivators from some countries to kill him and plunder his treasures.

Therefore, Yang Feng will continue to work hard to gain experience and try to obtain some powerful life-saving trump cards from the system.

He must hurry and strive to comprehend the true meaning of many Great Daos before raising his cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the level of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm and the third level of the ninth stage, so as to achieve the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

In this way, when he achieves the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage and his strength increases significantly, he will be able to unleash the full power of his fourth-tier magic treasures. Alternatively, if he possesses enough treasures, he will not have to worry about others daring to covet his fourth-tier treasures.

So after the birthday banquet, Yang Feng returned to his manor and continued to cultivate diligently.

……

And so, another three years passed.

That day, Yang Feng suddenly received a major message that was difficult for many high-ranking officials in the Xia Kingdom to accept.

It is said that another person from Wuqi Kingdom has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. If we include the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from Wuqi Kingdom before, it means that Wuqi Kingdom now has three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators at the same time.

In just a few hundred years, the Wuqi Kingdom produced three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, leading True Monarch Beihan and many high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom to suspect that the Wuqi Kingdom might have mastered some method that could increase the chances of achieving the Nascent Soul Realm.

Otherwise, given the resources of Wuqi Kingdom, it would have been impossible for them to cultivate three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in just a few hundred years.

It should be noted that their Xia Kingdom, whether in terms of the number of cultivators or the foundation of national heritage, is far more profound than the Wuqi Kingdom. Yet, in the last few hundred years, it has only produced one Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, True Monarch Beihan.

Upon learning this news, Yang Feng felt an increased sense of pressure. He had already felt immense pressure when Wu Qi Kingdom only had two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Now the other country has gained another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Even if their cultivation has just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, their strength is still much stronger than that of a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Yang Feng estimated that once the Wanhe Zhenjun of Wuqi Kingdom, who was severely injured by his master Mingwu Zhenjun, recovered his Nascent Soul Realm strength, it would be a long time.

I'm afraid the Wuqi Kingdom will come knocking on our door.

"Alas, a storm is brewing..."

"I don't know if I'll be able to hold them off with these trump cards I have."

Yang Feng thought that nearly twenty years had passed since the Wanhe Zhenjun of Wuqi Kingdom was severely injured by his master, and he was worried that the latter might one day regain his Nascent Soul Realm strength and start attacking their Xia Kingdom.

Although Yang Feng has accumulated many powerful trump cards, he still has some concerns.

He neither wanted to expose his trump cards in public, nor did he want to abandon the entire Xia Kingdom and choose to run away alone.

After all, he had lived in the Xia Kingdom for so many years. Although he no longer had many relatives around him, he did not want to see this huge country destroyed.

Moreover, he had sworn a solemn oath in front of his master that he would never betray his country again.

Furthermore, even if he chooses to flee, it will be difficult for him to find a safe place in another country where he can achieve the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Yang Feng could only continue to seize the time and try to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible before those Nascent Soul cultivators from Wuqi Kingdom attacked their Xia Kingdom, while also trying to obtain as many low-grade fourth-tier treasures from the system.

In this way, as long as he can rely on a variety of low-grade fourth-tier treasures, or only reveal one or two mid-grade fourth-tier treasures, and then join forces with his third senior brother, True Monarch Beihan, he can restrain or repel several Nascent Soul cultivators from Wuqi Kingdom, and protect their Xia Kingdom from being annexed and destroyed by Wuqi Kingdom for the time being.

……

Not two years after another Nascent Soul cultivator was born in Wuqi Kingdom, Wuqi Kingdom caused another major incident that alarmed several neighboring countries.

It is said that the king of Weiyang Kingdom, whose lifespan was nearing its end, chose to merge with Wuqi Kingdom after years of coercion and enticement.

Even in their Xia Kingdom, since the death of his master, True Monarch Mingwu, in the past twenty years, under the various inducements of the Wuqi Kingdom, many of the Xia Kingdom's middle and lower-level cultivators and generals have chosen to defect to the enemy and betray their country.

Especially in the last two years, since another Nascent Soul cultivator was born in Wuqi Kingdom, such things have become increasingly common.

Even some of the pseudo-core cultivators stationed in the immortal city were turned against the Wuqi Kingdom, and led the soldiers and people of the entire immortal city to choose to surrender to the Wuqi Kingdom.

This action not only caused panic among the people of Xia, but also led to a sharp reduction in Xia's territory and the number of its troops.

According to Yang Feng, as of now, their Xia Kingdom has lost nearly half of the Immortal City territory.

Among them, the Wuqi Kingdom alone occupied nearly one-third of the immortal city territory of their Xia Kingdom.

Moreover, in recent years, due to the conquest of several neighboring countries, hundreds of thousands of cultivators from their Xia Kingdom have been killed or wounded, and hundreds of thousands have defected.

Now, their Xia Kingdom has less than 800,000 soldiers whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining or above.

On the other hand, the Wuqi Kingdom has poached hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Xia Kingdom in recent years through various forms of coercion and enticement. In addition, the Wuqi Kingdom has now incorporated hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Weiyang Kingdom into their country.

According to their intelligence organization planted in Wuqi Kingdom by the Xia Kingdom, the number of cultivators in Wuqi Kingdom who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining or above has now exceeded 1.5 million.

It was twice as many as their Xia Kingdom.

Including cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage, in recent years, some pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivators from their Xia Kingdom have chosen to join the Wuqi Kingdom.

Currently, the number of high-ranking generals in the Wuqi Kingdom is greater than that in the Xia Kingdom.

Fortunately, True Monarch Mingwu had once used a Soul-Cursing Talisman to force all the True Core Realm cultivators of the Xia Kingdom to swear a divine oath never to betray their country.

Otherwise, the situation in their Xia Kingdom would only get worse.

Furthermore, since the birth of another Nascent Soul cultivator in the Wuqi Kingdom a couple of days ago, the other two countries that invaded the Xia Kingdom, Yunlai Kingdom and Nanyu Kingdom, have also seen through the Wuqi Kingdom's ambitions and are worried that after the Wuqi Kingdom annexes the Xia Kingdom, it will attack their two countries in the future.

Therefore, after occupying some of the immortal city territories of the Xia Kingdom, they did not continue to attack and occupy the immortal city territories of the Xia Kingdom in the past two years, even after the Weiyang Kingdom chose to merge into the Wuqi Kingdom.

Instead, they also brought in another nearby country, Yue, and formed an alliance with Xia.

Furthermore, each country has assembled a large army of cultivators to restrain the Wuqi Kingdom.

After all, each of these countries currently only has one Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, while Wuqi Kingdom now has three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

If the Wuqi Kingdom continues to expand and develop, and if the Xia Kingdom, or one of their countries, is annexed by the Wuqi Kingdom, causing the Wuqi Kingdom's national fortune to rise greatly, it will lead to the birth of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.

At that time, all of their countries will be at risk of being annexed and destroyed.

Therefore, these countries had no choice but to form an alliance for their own safety.

Even their Xia Kingdom, which has been at war with the Yunlai Kingdom and the Nanyu Kingdom for years, had to temporarily put aside their hatred and choose to make peace and join forces to fight against the Wuqi Kingdom.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Feng, after five years of cultivation, also successfully raised his physical cultivation to the late stage of the third rank.

Furthermore, when he was breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of the third tier, he had already improved his main third-tier body cultivation technique, "Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, Third Tier," as well as a third-tier martial art, Mountain Palm, to the perfect level.

Several years ago, he obtained a mid-grade fourth-order treasure material from the system that could improve the quality of his body, raising his body quality to nearly 100%.

This not only significantly accelerated his cultivation speed, but also made it much easier for him to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of the third rank.

Furthermore, after Yang Feng raised his cultivation to the seventh stage of the third rank, he also obtained a jar of fourth-rank mid-grade precious medicine from the system, called Five Poisons Infant Transformation Powder, as well as a corresponding antidote.

According to the information displayed by the system, this jar of mid-grade fourth-level Five Poisons Infant Transformation Powder is made from five mid-grade fourth-level poisonous herbs containing different levels of toxicity.

It is said that even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, if poisoned by this poison, can only survive for about six months at most before their Nascent Soul weakens and they die from the poison.

It is said that even a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm who is poisoned by this poison will not live for more than a month before their Nascent Soul fails and they die from the poison. It can be described as extremely vicious.

Having obtained such a jar of mid-grade fourth-level poison greatly enhanced Yang Feng's ability to protect himself.

With such a jar of fourth-grade mid-level poison, he would not be afraid even if he faced an attack from multiple Nascent Soul cultivators in the future.

After all, the lethality of such a terrifying poison that can silently kill a Nascent Soul cultivator is far greater than that of so-called fourth-tier magic treasures.

From now on, as long as Yang Feng takes out a jar of fourth-tier poison, it can be said that no Nascent Soul cultivator will dare to approach him.

Before this, Yang Feng was worried that he had too many fourth-tier treasures, and if they were exposed, they might attract Nascent Soul cultivators from other countries to join forces to snatch them.

However, now that he has this jar of Five Poisons Infant Transformation Powder, he no longer needs to worry.
