I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 149 Wanbao Club

News of the Wanbao Gathering quickly spread throughout the Immortal Abode, and the names of some of the exhibits also circulated, all of which were indeed rare treasures.

However, Ying Chan calmed down and devoted himself to cultivation.

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, another thirty or forty days have passed.

On this day, atop the peak of the Hanxu Dojo, Ying Chan sat cross-legged, his body surging with spiritual energy. With each rise and fall of his chest, his aura roared like a raging fire, growing increasingly intense with time, until it reached its zenith—

A raging fire suddenly rose from his body, surging, rising and falling, changing, and finally condensing into a fire dragon, coiling around him with its head held high, exuding a majestic aura, like a guardian deity.

At this moment, Ying Chan opened his eyes and revealed a hint of emotion.

The dragon-shaped transformation was merely a superficial appearance; the power contained within his Taiyao True Fire had indeed increased by more than 30 to 40%!

This was not due to Ying Chan's fire magic suddenly making rapid progress, but rather the blessing effect of the Great Sun Divine Furnace Magic.

Indeed, over the past few dozen days, Ying Chan has devoted himself to cultivation and has finally mastered the basics of this technique, condensing a 'Great Sun Divine Furnace' within the magic aperture.

At this moment, the Great Sun Divine Furnace was running fiercely, constantly melting spiritual energy and transforming it into Great Sun Fire, which supplied Ying Chan with the fire magic, thus creating such power.

But this is not the true mystery of the Great Sun Divine Furnace Technique.

Firstly, Ying Chan has only just begun to master this method, and the efficiency of the Great Sun Divine Furnace in refining spiritual energy is far from reaching its limit.

Secondly, Ying Chan was merely using the spiritual energy he had absorbed to refine the Great Sun Fire Qi. In reality, if it were a critical moment, anything containing spiritual energy, whether it was spiritual flowers and herbs, spiritual essence coins, or even pills and talismans, could be put into the Great Sun Divine Furnace for refining.

Therefore, this magic is actually a method of life-or-death struggle.

Ying Chan maintained the operation of the Great Sun Divine Furnace, carefully experiencing its mysteries.

Until the sun was high in the sky, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, quickly put away his true fire, and stopped the ritual.

Then, he closed his eyes again and carefully sensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. He discovered that the spiritual energy from afar was flowing towards this place, and the clear and turbid elements of heaven and earth were blending together, continuously generating spiritual energy. Only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It turned out that during this short period of time, Ying Chan had overexerted himself with the Great Sun Divine Furnace, almost draining the surrounding spiritual energy.

Even though the immortal abode was brimming with spiritual energy and Ying Chan was constantly absorbing it every day, he had never experienced anything like this before.

This demonstrates the domineering nature of the Great Sun Divine Furnace Technique.

It should be understood that today is not a suitable day for practicing magic.

He straightened his robes, stood up, and was about to return to the temple when he suddenly felt something and looked up.

But then they saw a woman's figure appear on a distant mountain peak, gazing intently at the spot.

"is her?"

The woman, with her hair styled in a bun adorned with flowers and dressed in a plain dress, was none other than Deng Shanghua, whose temple was also located on Zhaoguang Mountain.

Ying Chan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that he must have extracted too much spiritual energy, so much so that even though they were separated by half of Zhaoguang Mountain, the other party could sense it.

He felt somewhat apologetic and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture from afar.

Upon seeing this, Deng Shanghua simply nodded slightly, and then her figure flickered and disappeared.

This fellow disciple has a rather cold personality.

However, he didn't take it to heart and, seeing this, descended from the peak.

Back at the temple, Ying Chan took out a newly acquired Taoist book and read it for half a day. Suddenly, he was troubled by a question.

He pondered this repeatedly without finding a solution, then a thought struck him, and he simply went out and headed straight for the Cangming Grotto-Heaven to find the annotations of the ancients and study them carefully. Once he started reading, he became so engrossed that he didn't realize he was completely absorbed. When he finally emerged from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven, three days had passed.

Ying Chan, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed and at ease.

While studying in the Cangming Grotto, he had lost track of time more than once, yet he still had time to think, "Perfect timing, the beginning of the month has arrived in the blink of an eye. I should go to the Ministry of State Affairs and collect my monthly stipend for the past few months..."

"Ok?"

Ying Chan paused, suddenly realizing something.

It's already the beginning of the month, and with that comes the Wanbao Fair.

The Wanbao Gathering was held in the central and southern regions, which was not far from the Immortal Abode, but if one did not want to rush, it would take one or two days to travel there.

After a moment's thought, Ying Chan decided to set off today.

Of course, despite this, he remained unhurried, went to the Ministry of State Affairs to collect his monthly allowance, and then returned to the Hanxu Dojo.

In the past few dozen days, news of the Wanbao Society has been circulating widely, and many of Ying Chan's fellow disciples have expressed their desire to join the trip.

Friends like Li Xuanying would invite him to go together.

However, Ying Chan's trip was not for joining in the fun. Unlike Ying Chan, some of them had not yet decided when to travel, and some of their plans were different from Ying Chan's.

Therefore, upon reflection, it was more convenient to travel alone, so I never made an appointment with anyone else.

He returned to Hanxu Daoist Temple, put away the newly copied Daoist books, changed his clothes, and searched around but couldn't find Cai Que'er. He figured she had gone to play on Xianyou Mountain.

Now, in the Immortal Garden Mountain, it has come to know many spirit beasts, and with the reputation of the Luan bird, it has subdued Bai Zhi's two large parrots. Sometimes, when it goes to the Immortal Garden Mountain, it will not return for several days.

Seeing this, Ying Chan had no choice but to go alone, riding on a fiery cloud, heading straight for the Heavenly Peak.

……

The Great Wanshan Mountains stretch from Tianping in the west to Shenzhu in the east and border the vast sea to the south, but it is not a perfectly square region.

However, the location of Xuandu Immortal Mansion has a central feel to it, and it is not too far to go anywhere.

This grand event in Wanshanfang City, held in the central and southern region, should have revealed the immortal abode, and there was no need to go through the Taixu Palace to get there.

He flew south at a leisurely pace, and after nightfall, he found a high peak to rest. After sunrise, he began to gather and refine the purple energy.

Thus, on the morning of the second day, a precious light was seen in the distance.

Although the Wanbao Conference has not officially started yet, Wanshanfang City has already gathered dozens of its cloud boats, which are connected in the sky, with rainbows as bridges and clouds as roads, resembling a fairy city.

At this moment, the 'Ten Thousand Treasures City' was already bustling with people, and streaks of light flew in from all directions from time to time. Some familiar cultivators greeted each other and called on their friends to travel together, landing on the Lianheng Cloud Boat, which added to the liveliness.

Ying Chan rode the fiery cloud and flew closer, discovering that this network of cloud boats had entrances in all eight directions. He could land anywhere and then take a rainbow bridge or cloud path to explore it.

Seeing this, he casually chose an entrance to land, stepped onto the cloud boat, and a familiar feeling immediately washed over him.

It turns out that although the buildings on these cloud boats are different, their shapes and styles are very similar.

Especially the white jade spring pool that came into view made Ying Chan smile.

He still remembered that he had won three Azure God Pills in this Jade Pool Gambling Game.

Ultimately, however, these three Azure God Pills ended up in Li Jingqiu's mouth...

I wonder what has become of the people from the Taoist temple now?
