The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

boom!

Upon receiving Cui Yi's change of thought, the Floating Pagoda suddenly spun, causing the entire sea of ​​consciousness to vibrate and hum!

The two hundred and thirty years of lifespan that Cui Yi had just absorbed were instantly drawn away by this overwhelming suction force!

The surging life essence flowed into the base of the ever-rotating pagoda.

The intense light illuminated the originally dark sea of ​​consciousness, making it shine brilliantly!

This huge commotion alerted both Xiyue, who was in seclusion in the Floating Pagoda space, and the sleeping young dragon.

Xi Yue, who was in seclusion deep within the Floating Pagoda space, suddenly opened her eyes and looked in Cui Yi's direction.

She could clearly feel the abnormal vibrations throughout the tower, as well as the vast life force that was frantically gathering and burning.

The young dragon was also awakened by the enormous roar that came from the soul level. Its dragon eyes were filled with confusion and a trace of instinctive awe.

Cui Yi was already sitting cross-legged, his consciousness immersed in the deduction process of the Floating Pagoda!

......

The simulation begins!

[In your fortieth year, you meditated day and night on the Divine Refinement Technique, and your divine consciousness gradually solidified through repeated tempering.]

[In the sixty-eighth year, you attempted to combine the practice of the Spirit Refining Technique with your daily breathing exercises. Although progress was slow, you unexpectedly discovered a slight increase in the speed of your spiritual recovery, and a reduction in fatigue after prolonged mental exertion.]

[In the ninety-fifth year, in the dead of night, you fully activated the Divine Refinement Technique, breaking through the original limit of your divine sense's perception range to increase to fifty kilometers, and gaining a vague perception of the emotional fluctuations of living beings within that range.]

[In the 145th year, long-term cultivation has made your divine consciousness increasingly stable, your total mental power has increased by 50%, and the time you can continuously control magical artifacts in battle has been greatly extended.]

[In the 180th year, you attempted to pierce the enemy's soul with a highly condensed wisp of mental energy, like a fine needle. Although it could not directly harm the enemy's spirit, it could instantly disrupt their concentration on casting spells, creating a momentary opening.]

[In the 230th year, two hundred and thirty years of dedicated practice have honed his spiritual consciousness and mental power. Although there have been no earth-shattering breakthroughs, he has laid an incredibly solid and profound foundation.]

The slightest thought you have can unleash the power of your mind like an invisible tide.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, once the dust settles, even the lurking insects are under control, and cultivators of lower cultivation levels can be annihilated.

......

The simulation is complete!

hum!

As his mental power made a breakthrough, Cui Yi's cultivation level also broke through its limitations!

Although Cui Yi's body was in the space of the Floating Pagoda, at the location where he disappeared in reality, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be sucked up by a giant whale, and began to gather wildly, and then was absorbed by an extremely small singularity!

at the same time.

Inside the pagoda, a hole was torn open in the void above Cui Yi's head, and spiritual energy absorbed from the real world flowed continuously into his dantian!

At the center of the dantian, a phantom of light and shadow is rapidly solidifying, and one can even vaguely see the trend of forming a core!

The meridians expanded continuously under the surging spiritual energy, and the bones and internal organs also shone faintly under the nourishment of spiritual energy!

Late stage of Foundation Establishment, accomplished!

"call......"

Cui Yi slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his aura suddenly surged!

It only took him a little over a month to go from entering the Qi Refining Realm to breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment Realm.

Such progress is nothing short of miraculous!

Cui Yi was in high spirits after successfully breaking through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. At this rate, another few hundred years of lifespan might be enough for him to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

At that time, I will be even closer to the Core Formation Realm.

Even though his lifespan had been temporarily depleted, Cui Yi didn't stay idle. Instead, he made a grasping motion with his right hand.

A moment later, a pile of objects shimmering with a faint light flew through the air and landed in front of him with a clatter.

Those were storage rings, about thirty in total, looted from various places by the Black Wolf Gang and taken from corpses.

Since all the cultivators who had made contracts with the storage rings were dead, the rings naturally became ownerless.

The original owners had all perished, and the divine imprints on the rings naturally dissipated, leaving them ownerless.

With a slight thought, Cui Yi's vast divine sense split into dozens of streams, which simultaneously flowed into the internal space of these rings.

Besides the elixirs and magical treasures essential for cultivators, there were also many ordinary gold and silver items, fine clothes, and fine wines.

even......

There were also some disgusting toys!

Cui Yi held a jade cylinder and, with great disdain, used his telekinesis to toss it aside.

After removing all the miscellaneous items, the truly valuable things were sorted out after a short while.

The low-grade spirit stones shone brightly, and a rough estimate puts them at no less than 200,000. Among them, there were more than 700 mid-grade spirit stones with even purer and richer spiritual energy mixed in!

Even with his calm and collected nature, Cui Yi couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

He already had a considerable amount of spirit stones saved up, but he never expected that the Black Wolf Gang's assets would be even more outrageous!

An ordinary low-grade Xuan-level magic weapon is worth only about 100,000 low-grade spirit stones on the market. The wealth he currently possesses is enough to buy more than two of them!

This is not the kind of wealth a Foundation Establishment cultivator should have!

Aside from these spirit stones, there are countless low-level magical artifacts, talismans, and materials.

Although most of them didn't meet Cui Yi's standards, they could still be sold for a considerable sum.

Of course, the Qi Refining Realm members provided very little value; the main source of income came from Cao Xiong and the two deputy leaders' storage rings.

What Cui Yi found most outrageous was that the two Foundation Establishment Realm deputy gang leaders had a total of twice as many spirit stones as Cao Xiong...

Just how much did those two old bastards embezzle?!

Cui Yi wasn't particularly interested in their past; since these spirit stones had come into his hands, they were his property.

Aside from the spirit stones, Cui Yi also found a high-grade Yellow Rank martial arts technique and some communication jade slips in Cao Xiong's storage ring.

This martial art was none other than the Black Fiend Wolf Soul Technique that Cao Xiong had cultivated!

This martial art is quite powerful and has a strong sense of oppression. Cui Yi plans to combine it with the Three Demon-Subduing Techniques.

Unfortunately, he has used up all his lifespan to deduce the Refining God Technique and cannot spare any more lifespan. He can only wait until Cao Xiong's corpse is completely refined before he can fuse with it.

As for those communication jade slips, Cui Yi originally didn't plan to look at them, but out of curiosity, he browsed through them anyway.

But the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

The jade slip contained a message exchanged between Cao Xiong and a sect called Xuan Yin Sect.

"Xuan Yin Sect... Mo Li..."

A cold glint flashed in Cui Yi's eyes.

This is undoubtedly a potential problem; the Black Wolf Gang's destruction may not be easily forgotten by those behind it.

However, the other party should not be able to trace it back to me for the time being.

The only thing the witnesses in Blacktooth Town knew was that there was a young swordsman who brought back all the corpses from the scene, and there wasn't a single eyewitness.

For the time being, I am safe and sound!

"Waaaaah!"

Cui Yi, who was focused on taking stock of the resources, suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound beside him.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the young dragon that had been hatching in the cave had somehow woken up from its slumber and was now stumbling toward him.

The baby dragon was born not long ago, and its body was no more than half an adult's arm length. It was still a bit clumsy when it ran.

Cui Yi shook his head helplessly, about to open his arms to welcome it.

But who knew that the little guy would rush straight towards that huge pile of spirit stones, leaving Cui Yi standing there in the cold.

It first cautiously approached and sniffed, then, as if confirming that it was some delicious food, let out a cheerful low hum.

The next moment, it stretched out its two small front paws, grabbed a low-grade spirit stone that was bigger than its head, opened its small mouth that had not yet grown all its sharp teeth, and took a bite!
