My talent is 1.

We have enough immortal essence, so now we can continue refining pills.

Back in Bai Yu's cave, Zhong Wuyai immediately took out all the materials to extract them.

Of course, this time it's one extraction at a time. Extracting too many at once would not only slow down the process but also increase the consumption of immortal essence.

Zhong Wuyai was fast, but the quantity was large. To ensure that the essence was not lost, the extracted essence could only be placed inside the Immortal Essence Pearl.

While extracting the essence of the second immortal fruit, Zhong Wuyai suddenly sensed the essence disappearing and couldn't help but curse loudly.

"You bastard, causing trouble for me at a time like this."

"What's wrong?"

Ignoring everything else, Zhong Wuyai threw the Yin-Yang Fate Wheel directly out of the Immortal Essence Pearl.

"Keep this for now, damn it, it ate the freshly extracted essence."

Lu Zifan picked up the Yin-Yang Fate Wheel, put it into his bag without even looking at it.

"A celestial being?...No, so weak!"

Bai Yu immediately recognized the condition of the Yin-Yang Fate Wheel; it was the first time he had encountered a quasi-immortal artifact with sentience.

Although immortal spirits are weak, in the immortal realm, immortal artifacts that possess immortal spirits are at least high-grade immortal artifacts.

This quasi-immortal artifact can be said to be unique in the immortal realm.

Zhong Wuyai continued extracting the essence, determined to extract all the essence at once, regardless of anything else.

After extracting the essence from the three immortal fruits, Zhong Wuyai's immortal energy was completely depleted.

After consuming the Life-Generating Pill, a surge of immortal energy filled his entire body, and Zhong Wuyai felt his level continuously increasing.

Ignoring all that, Zhong Wuyai extracted all ten immortal fruits at once.

After all, one cannot cultivate during the extraction process, so it's better to extract and use the extracted immortal essence rather than waste it.

"Such a rich aura of immortality! What kind of elixir is this?"

Lu Zifan was used to it and didn't take it seriously.

But Bai Yu also guessed that it was related to the disappearance of the surrounding immortal energy.

Could it be that this kid previously gathered all his immortal energy into the elixir?

But how could that be? If the elixir isn't stored properly, its medicinal effects will only continue to diminish.

How did he do that?

Bai Yu was now filled with questions.

With sufficient immortal energy to support him, Zhong Wuyai found the extraction process very easy.

Moreover, his level has reached 110, and his cultivation level has also improved slightly.

After extraction, Zhong Wuyai extracted ten more samples of material simultaneously.

This time, however, not only was the essence extracted, but a touch of spiritual charm was also added.

If that magical herb, from which the extraction was made, were to be cultivated for another hundred years or so, it would develop sentience.

After extracting all the materials, Zhong Wuyai still had a considerable amount of immortal essence left.

After cultivating for a while, Zhong Wuyai reached level 133.

After recovering, Zhong Wuyai took out all his essence and spiritual energy and began to condense the elixir.

Even within the Immortal Essence Pearl, some essence was lost in the past half hour.

Zhong Wuyai didn't dare to delay and immediately began to perform the hand seals...

【Mu Xidan】

Low-grade elixir

Immortal Essence +65

Wood Aura +10

Wind Aura +4

Wood Spirit +2

These two points of wood spirit might be those two spiritual essences.

The moment the elixir was completed, a surge of celestial energy flowed into Zhong Wuyai's primordial spirit.

Feeling the baptism of the immortal energy, Zhong Wuyai's primordial spirit increased somewhat.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Wuyai looked at his own panel.

"So that's how it is. After the elixir was refined, the Cloud Sea Pill Manual also changed, as if it had advanced."

The Cloud Sea Elixir Classic has been transformed into the Immortal Cloud Materia Medica Record.

So, Zhong Wuyai then considered whether or not to add 1 point to the Immortal Cloud Materia Medica.

He just didn't know how much immortal energy he needed to do this, or whether it would attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao.

Or, it may cause damage to the surrounding environment, leading to unpredictable consequences.

But he still had to try, so Zhong Wuyai had no choice but to turn his attention to the Undying Volcano.

After some thought, Zhong Wuyai decided to give it a try, but he also had a plan in mind.

"Get ready, we're heading to the immortal volcano!"

Zhong Wuyai didn't even consider safety.

The two of them could easily handle it, even if they were ordinary immortals.

I'm not confident about the Celestial Immortal, but with Bai Yu around, even if we encounter the Mysterious Celestial Immortal, we can manage to hold our own.

There is also Guan Xiangzi's primordial spirit clone, whose main body is slightly stronger than the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, only below Daluo.

Even a clone can be dealt with in the early stages of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

If you don't even dare to go, then what's the point of doing anything? You might as well just stay in Tianlin Mountain and be a good-for-nothing.

Seeing how anxious the two of them were, even more so than he was, Bai Yu became increasingly convinced that his intuition was right—something was about to go wrong…

"You're only at the Human Immortal realm, mere stepping stones in the Immortal Realm, aren't you afraid at all?... That's an Undying Volcano!"

Bai Yu was increasingly bewildered. He had only mentioned it casually, but he hadn't expected these two kids to be so reckless and actually dare to go.

"It's alright, this is the perfect place for spiritual practice that we've always dreamed of."

Holy crap... how crazy are these two?

Lu Zifan was actually hoping to get a few low-level Earth Immortals or Celestial Immortals. With such a huge level difference in the Immortal Realm, he wondered how much experience he would get from killing someone of a higher level.

Even though his experience points are now measured in Jing, it's only enough for Lu Zifan to advance to the Immortal Emperor level.

Of course, this is just a prediction. If the experience required to achieve the Great Luo Dao Fruit exceeds one's expectations, even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor might struggle.

In general, it's better to accumulate more.

After making some preparations, Bai Yu led Zhong Wuyai and Lu Zifan to the Undying Volcano.

Although his cultivation level was so low that he was practically cannon fodder in the Undying Volcano, as long as he didn't go inside, he could still protect the two of them and help them cultivate on the edge.

Before even reaching the immortal volcano, the surrounding environment had already changed, turning into an endless desert.

The entire land was covered with barren sand and gravel.

Waves of sweltering heat hit, making it hard to open one's eyes.

Practicing here will increase your understanding of wind and fire elements.

Lu Zifan felt uncomfortable, realizing that he could barely exert even half of his limited strength here.

This place is also somewhat dangerous for Zhong Wuyai.

The environment was already in such a terrible state; if something were to happen, wouldn't it disturb the ley lines of the immortal realm?

"Keep going in, it's not safe here."

Bai Yu was somewhat speechless. Shouldn't it become less safe the further you go in...?

The sky gradually turned from dark to orange-yellow.

Upon reaching the edge of the Immortal Volcano, Lu Zifan hid behind Bai Yu, barely managing to withstand the heatwave.

Along the way, you might occasionally encounter some immortals or wandering immortals cultivating in this place.

Bai Yu's aura was not concealed, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

Zhong Wuyai smiled as he felt the heat in the air.

Such a high concentration of energy should be enough, right?

To be on the safe side, Zhong Wuyai didn't directly add 1 to the Immortal Cloud Herbal Record, but instead took out the Wood Dawn Pill.

He placed 1 on the Immortal Essence and immediately gave it to Lu Zifan. Lu Zifan didn't think much of it and immediately upgraded.

Don't worry about these low-attribute items in the early stages; just upgrade them directly.

The first time it was Immortal Essence, the second time it was Wood Spirit... Apart from the heat decreasing slightly, there weren't any major changes.

However, when Zhong Wuyai placed 1 on the Wood Spirit for the third time, the surrounding immortal energy fluctuated violently and instantly surged into the Wood Xi Pill.

Moreover, Mu Xidan kept changing, turning red and hot, and then slowly returning to normal.

Lu Zifan frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, this energy consumption is way too high."

Within a radius of a hundred miles, there was no heat at all; the wind blowing by felt incredibly cool.

Bai Yu still didn't understand what the two were doing, but the two were only beginner immortals, yet they could make the heat of the Undying Volcano disappear temporarily.

Even if he cultivated fire-based techniques himself, it would be impossible for him to achieve this level in an instant.

At best, it just becomes weaker.

Such unknown methods are truly incomprehensible.

"Bai Yu, stay away from them. Unless there is any danger, do not come within a hundred miles of them."

Guan Xiangzi's primordial spirit clone sent a telepathic reminder, as he was all too aware of Zhong Wuyai's abilities.

The key point is that this ability seems to have no upper limit.

He was clearly only a beginner immortal. Logically, the higher the cultivation level, the smaller the gap between cultivators within the same realm, and the greater the gap between cultivators across realms.

But now, even he, an Eight Tribulation Loose Immortal, cannot touch this unknown Dao.

Zhong Wuyai is like a bug in the immortal realm, ignoring the rules and the workings of the heavenly way.

It can even affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Bai Yu was one of the people he had his eye on. He hadn't thought much of it before, after all, Bai Yu was just a beginner immortal. As a sixth-tribulation loose immortal, Bai Yu could basically handle the troubles Zhong Wuyai encountered.

But the situation is different now, and he has to consider Bai Yu's feelings.

Upon hearing Guan Xiangzi's voice, Bai Yu didn't object and immediately left their sight.

"Forehead?……"

Zhong Wuyai and Lu Zifan were a little confused.

"This is fucking amazing..."

"This bodyguard is unqualified!"

However, Bai Yu's aura was soon over a hundred miles away, so the two of them stopped paying much attention to it.

A hundred miles is but a blink of an eye for a sixth-tribulation loose immortal.

Zhong Wuyai simply smiled.

"He probably knows something, which is good. If something really goes wrong, he probably won't be of much help anyway. ...By the way, what did you just say?"

"Right, this consumption is not right. The first upgrade was Immortal Essence. After I leveled up, I had 3 points of Wood Spirit. That means that the Wood Spirit was equivalent to an increase of 28 points."

"Is there a problem?"

"When you added Wood Spirit for the third time, didn't you notice that the consumption was more than a hundred times that of the second time?"

Feeling the warmth gradually returning to the surroundings, Zhong Wuyai himself began to think about the problem.

"Either it's a problem with the Wood Spirit attribute, or... it's the consumption of mid-grade immortal pills."

"Impossible. If you don't add 1, I can directly upgrade to a mid-grade immortal pill. How could it consume so much?"

"That's...because of 'fire'?"

"There's only one reason left. Wood generates fire, but you've managed to turn it into fire generating wood. Luckily, it's only a few hundred points. If it were any more, who knows what kind of changes it would cause!"

"This is troublesome. Once we reach the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao is perfected, and there are many loopholes that are difficult to exploit."

"Continue refining pills, preferably using fire-based methods, and see the results."

Zhong Wuyai thought for a moment and took out some medicinal herbs from the Immortal Essence Pearl.

Many of them were from the lower realms, and the weaker ones were crushed to pieces as soon as they were taken out.

"Damn... let's make a deal."

The two continuously upgraded the medicinal herbs using the trading system until they reached the level of immortal herbs before taking them out.

Of course, the energy consumption is pitifully small, since things in a low-level world only require a little energy.

Zhong Wuyai's eyes lit up as he looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand, each with a cultivation level exceeding 50.

"These attributes... surpass those of other immortal herbs and fruits of the same rank by many times."

Putting aside everything else, in terms of sheer fire energy, three plants have a score exceeding 115, while the weaker ones still have a score of seven or eight.

The one with the highest spiritual energy actually reached 5 points.

This hasn't been extracted and refined yet; it's still in its basic medicinal herb state.

Zhong Wuyai rubbed his hands together and began the extraction.

Of course, this time 10 plants were extracted at the same time, so the immortal essence in my body was consumed very quickly.

After directly consuming the pill containing over 30,000 immortal essences, Zhong Wuyai's aura surged.

Ignoring cultivation, Zhong Wuyai increased the consumption of immortal essence in order to extract it at a faster speed.

Perhaps because of its proximity to the immortal volcano, they are using mostly fire-based medicinal herbs.

Zhong Wuyai completed the entire tempering process in only half the time previously required.

Although much of the immortal essence has been lost, condensing the elixir is still within reach.

However, at this moment, the heatwave from the immortal volcano once again filled the area...

"Damn it..."

Without a second thought, Lu Zifan activated his immortal energy to protect his body and ran towards Bai Yu's direction.

"Forehead……"

Bai Yu had been observing the two of them, but he never expected this to happen.

With a casual wave of his hand, a massive surge of immortal energy protected Lu Zifan.

Lu Zifan breathed a sigh of relief as the heat no longer bothered him, and quickly went to Bai Yu's side to meditate and recover.

Bai Yu felt somewhat resentful, as the man didn't even say thank you.

Soon, Zhong Wuyai successfully condensed the elixir.

As soon as the pill was formed, Zhong Wuyai couldn't wait to check its attributes.

Without hesitation, I placed 1 on the Fire Spirit.

The Fire Spirit at 12 points instantly became 121 points.

The warmth that had just returned was thinning again, and the wind became gentle.

However, the heatwave persisted.

"Just as I expected!"

Zhong Wuyai transmitted his voice to Bai Yu: "Please bring Lu Zifan over."

Bai Yu was somewhat suspicious. Hadn't he just condensed immortal energy and fire energy into his pill? And Lu Zifan hadn't helped him at all.

Although he didn't quite understand, he still added a celestial energy barrier and an array plate to Lu Zifan.

"Take this past with you, release the array plate, and this heat wave won't hurt you."

That person had sent a telepathic message to him to stay away from those two. Although he didn't know why, Bai Yu believed that person wouldn't lie to him.

Lu Zifan looked at the array plate in his hand with some hesitation. Did this thing really work?

Don't let adding just one 1 ruin the array. ...

Upon arriving at Lu Zifan's side, with the barrier of white feathers, Lu Zifan thought for a moment and decided to move a little further in.

"There's definitely not enough energy here. Move in and set up the array. When you add 1, stay away from me to avoid damaging the array."

Zhong Wuyai thought about it and agreed. Although adding 1 to Fire Spirit or Fire Qi consumes relatively little, the consumption would be absolutely terrifying in the later stages.

Without much thought, Zhong Wuyai circulated his immortal energy into fire qi, which filled his entire body, while Lu Zifan pushed through the barrier and advanced into the Undying Volcano.

"Are you crazy?"

Seeing that things were about to go wrong, Bai Yu immediately followed, maintaining a safe distance to ensure that he could get the two away as soon as possible.

Guan Xiangzi's primordial spirit rubbed his forehead...

"This kid, you shouldn't expect him to be steady!"

After going about 300 miles deeper, the heatwave became increasingly intense, and even Zhong Wuyai found it difficult to bear.

Without much thought, Zhong Wuyai took out the pills and gave them to Lu Zifan.

After Lu Zifan leveled up, Zhong Wuyai immediately gained 1 point, but this time it was the fire element.

He wanted to see how much fire energy could be increased to attract a heavenly tribulation, so he could have a rough estimate.

【Yanzhi Dan】

Mid-grade Immortal Pill

Immortal Essence +114

Fire Aura +2621

Fire Spirit +126

After taking it, the speed of cultivating fire-type techniques will increase by 20%.

The more than two thousand sparks of fire couldn't dissipate the surrounding heat, which reassured Zhong Wuyai considerably.

continue……

With over 20,000 ignitions of fire energy, the heatwave immediately thinned out, but an even larger heatwave continued to surge in from inside the immortal volcano, quickly filling the empty area.

"This place is practically made for us!"

Lu Zifan also became interested: "The demand will be even greater later, should we go in some more?"

"Nonsense! Get out of here! Any further in is the territory of the Sunbirds."

Bai Yu had been keeping a close eye on the two of them, and upon hearing Lu Zifan's words, he almost grabbed them and took them away.

Lu Zifan curled his lips. This guy, he's supposed to be a sixth-tribulation loose immortal, how come he's so timid?

Guan Xiangzi was truly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

How come Lu Zifan is even crazier than Zhong Wuyai?

But that's not surprising, since I saw it in the celestial mirror when I was in the realm of Chaos.

Lu Zifan dared to provoke Chaos even though he didn't have much strength.

Although the presence of the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord Ju Hong gave him some confidence, not everyone possesses such courage.

Zhong Wuyai didn't go in; he just waited until the heatwave had completely subsided before having Lu Zifan upgrade the Yanzhi Pill and then leaving.

"Take it easy~!"

"We have to give it a try."

After exceeding the numerical limit, the Flame Blazing Pill was already a top-grade immortal pill. After Zhong Wuyai placed 1 on it, the world froze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, countless gusts of wind and heat surged toward the Blazing Pill in his hand...

"Damn it...this is going to be a disaster!"

"Drop the pills and run! The heavenly tribulation is coming!"

Guan Xiangzi panicked and immediately sent a telepathic message to Zhong Wuyai.

A nascent immortal attracting a tribulation of transformation—isn't that courting death?

However, Zhong Wuyai's ability instilled a sense of fear in Guan Xiangzi...

An ordinary elixir could actually trigger a transformation tribulation; this kid has too many secrets, and I have no ability to protect him.

Guan Xiangzi, whose true form was far away in the Eastern Immortal Realm, suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?"

Fellow Daoist Changheng, I've changed my mind...

"Hmm?...I've invited you several times, and you've refused each time. Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

"We've known each other for tens of thousands of years and have received help from the Dayan Underground Palace several times. The karma between us is already difficult to repay. After much thought, I think it's better to join the Dayan Underground Palace to avoid being troubled by inner demons when I undergo tribulations in the future."

"Hahaha, it seems those gifts weren't given for nothing. I'm probably the first person to make Guan Xiangzi compromise."

Guan Xiangzi was somewhat helpless; Zhong Wuyai was too much of a troublemaker.

He had only just arrived in the Immortal Realm when this happened to him.

However, the karmic ties between Zhong Wuyai and himself were not yet severed, in addition to the karmic ties between himself and the Dayan Underground Palace...

Guan Xiangzi had no other choice but to do this. He just didn't know if the Dayan Underground Palace could withstand it.

If Immortal Venerable Changheng knew about Zhong Wuyai and Lu Zifan's various feats in the cultivation world, I wonder if he would regret his decision today...
