The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 93 Nanming Li Huo Sword

Jiang Yuan also refined the level-six fire-type demon core he obtained from Dafengkou, and with the help of others, he opened up several fire-type acupoints, thus naturally advancing to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

This cave is too small to spar, but Cui Qinghe could sense that her husband's aura when he advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm was incredibly strong, almost comparable to that of a Tantric Arhat.

After consolidating his cultivation for a few days, Jiang Yuan destroyed the Nascent Soul ghost cultivator's soul that was trapped in the red thread before deciding to leave Tianshan.

There's absolutely no spiritual energy here. It's such a waste to have a magical artifact like the Frost Jade Marrow that gathers spiritual energy.

So he carefully dug up the living soul-nourishing wood and put it into his storage magic item along with the soil.

There was no need to preserve this cave dwelling; it was completely sealed off once you stepped outside.

After hiding for more than a year, some things should have faded away. Jiang Yuan then traveled from the grasslands to Changbai Mountain according to his planned schedule.

The vast grasslands are truly magical places. You can walk for hundreds of miles without seeing a single person. Thinking back to my previous lives as a mortal, the barbarian tribes of this place actually conquered the Central Plains several times.

It's just that those guys in the Central Plains were too useless. They only knew how to bully the weak and exploit the poor. They accumulated wealth for several generations, but the northern barbarians came on horseback and robbed it all away.

One day, Jiang Yuan seemed to sense a fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body. He quickly took out his storage magic treasure, and the golden eagle egg had actually hatched.

Qinghe held the hatched golden egg in her hands, looking at the little creature with curiosity. It was still wet all over. It pecked open the eggshell in a few bites, jumped out, spread its wings, and seemed to be about to fly.

Qinghe found it amazing. This egg was not much bigger than a regular chicken egg, so how did the golden eagle's wingspan reach a foot wide when it was just hatched?
The golden eagle hopped and chirped on Qinghe's hand, clearly mistaking her for its mother. Qinghe suddenly exclaimed, "What does it eat?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "The legend of the Golden Eagle is that it is a descendant of the Golden-Winged Roc. The Golden-Winged Roc devours true dragons, so it would be perfect to feed the Golden Eagle dragon meat."

As she spoke, she actually took out a piece of frozen dragon meat from her storage magic treasure. Qinghe used her true energy to melt the ice, tore off a small piece, and fed it to the little golden eagle. Unexpectedly, the little guy actually swallowed it. After swallowing it, he chirped and asked for more.

Jiang Yuan pulled out a spirit beast cage, something he had been preparing for over a decade, and was finally going to use it.

Qinghe once said she wanted to raise a spirit pet like a canary, but this golden eagle grew up with a wingspan of more than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and could carry two people in flight without any problem.

Flying spirit pets are something every cultivator dreams of, especially since this golden eagle has the bloodline of an ancient divine beast and is born with the Golden Wind Divine Power.

As Jiang Yuan walked, he explained some details about raising spirit pets to Qing He, advising her to adjust the intensity of the restrictions appropriately, so as not to restrict its nature but to be able to control it.

Once its wings are fully grown, it can be fed spirit pills. These pills can help spirit pets quickly develop intelligence. It must be able to understand human speech and learn some rules before it can be fed transformation pills, otherwise, who knows what it will become.

The two of them kept their feet on the ground and walked slowly, occasionally taking a detour to gather some herbs.

After three months on the grassland, the little golden eagle had grown to the size of a rooster and no longer liked staying in the spirit beast cage. Every day, it would fly out and hunt down small birds, rabbits, and other small animals on the grassland. It wouldn't eat the killed animals, but would bring them back to show for its achievements and ask for a reward. It still wanted to eat the dragon meat itself.

If it weren't for the dragon meat, this golden eagle wouldn't have grown so fast.

From now on, it's one Spirit Feeding Pill per day. It's a second-tier pill, and one pill costs about one spirit stone. Most people really can't afford to feed it.

Qinghe also had to collect and refine herbs along the way, and she didn't have many Spirit-Nourishing Pills stored up to begin with.

That day, as the little golden eagle soared high in the sky, it was suddenly startled by a flash of light and immediately burrowed into the spirit beast cage, trembling with fear.

Jiang Yuan and Cui Qinghe were both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and their Golden Cores were of very high quality, roughly equivalent to the late-stage Golden Core realm. Sensing that oppressive aura, they felt a tightness in their chests and were quite uncomfortable. Jiang Yuan knew that the spiritual energy wasn't directed at him, so he took out his cloud boat and flew into the sky to investigate. In the distant south, a fiery cloud seemed to be piercing the sky.

The Southern Bright Fire Sword! Its power is awe-inspiring, it must be the work of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The direction of those fiery clouds is Laoshan Mountain. So it really has come to this?

If the Nascent Soul cultivators don't take action and eliminate the few Nascent Soul cultivators from Laoshan, this great battle will never end.

As long as one Nascent Soul cultivator makes a move, the other old fogies will inevitably vie to take the lead. Otherwise, other families will wonder if the old fogies hidden in the cave are dead or not.

Jiang Yuan was right. Initially, it was the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from Laoshan who made their move, wiping out several Golden Core cultivators who were besieging Laoshan, including a large number of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators. It was an indiscriminate massacre.

It was too late for Chu Yunfei to come to the rescue. He exchanged a single blow with the Nascent Soul cultivator and immediately retreated. If the two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators also came out, he would be finished too.

Master Zhu of Luofu Mountain took the initiative to communicate with the old monster of Emei. The two of them joined forces and took him down in one go, otherwise things might get complicated.

Master Zhu was skilled in divination and seized the opportunity to use a flying talisman to trap the Laoshan sect. The Emei patriarch then used the Nanming Lihuo Sword to pierce through the Laoshan formation.

Taiyi Sect, Kongtong Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, and even the secluded Lushan Mountain all had Nascent Soul cultivators displaying their divine power, completely annihilating Laoshan Mountain in one fell swoop, even breaking through the blessed land and cave heaven, leaving no Lan family descendants alive.

The cultivation world is in an uproar. It turns out there are so many Nascent Soul stage experts hiding here. They didn't make a move before, and everyone thought it was just a bluff.

Now that everyone has revealed their hand, all factions understand even more clearly that there is no need for a sect to establish itself without a hidden realm or Nascent Soul cultivator. They might just be wiped out by a Nascent Soul cultivator's flying sword one day.

Although Jiang Yuan had guessed this outcome, he didn't know how things would develop in the future. The difference in strength was too great, so it was always better to keep a low profile. Therefore, he and Qinghe changed their appearance and attire again, suppressed their cultivation levels to the early Foundation Establishment stage, and even changed their flying vehicle.

The previous refining of the flying boat left a lot of scraps of ancient ebony wood, which was still much better than ordinary materials. Two simple flying boats were temporarily refined, narrow and flat, but their speed was not slow.

It was only for emergency use, so the two of them walked, and it took them two months to finally reach the vicinity of Changbai Mountain.

I've heard Lao Lu say that there's an ancient sect called Sa Shen Jiao in Changbai Mountain. It's a lineage of ancient witchcraft and they're skilled at summoning wind and rain and manipulating the weather.

I probably can't go up the mountain, so I just want to try my luck in the canyon area, and then go to sea from the other side of Changbai Mountain. I guess Laoshan is gone, and the sea is supposedly safer.

Qinghe still lets the little golden eagle out to play for an hour every day. The golden eagle is becoming more and more like a bird of prey, flying high in the sky and swooping down silently, and it can catch its prey every time.

However, it flew too far that day and got caught in a net. The little golden eagle struggled desperately with a scream, and was instantly taken away.

Jiang Yuan had already spotted several Golden Core cultivators ten miles ahead, but Cui Qinghe didn't care. The golden eagle was already connected to her soul, and she was determined to save it.

Cui Qinghe rushed up to the group and also felt something was very strange. There were five Golden Core cultivators, all of whom were women, living in a hut in a small canyon. One of them was holding a small golden eagle and examining it.

Cui Qinghe blurted out, "Give me back the golden eagle."
