Immortal Rebellion: Investing in Cause and Effect, Unexpectedly Hijacking Li Muwan's Deal

A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Ruo's eyes, but she still calmly replied, "Tell me about it."

"Moonlight Dew, Thousand-Year-Old Cold Jade Marrow, Thousand-Year-Old Snow Lotus, Stardust Sand, and at least three Level 5 Wood-attribute Demon Cores."

Lu Xuan rattled off a long list of names, and mixed up some of the medicinal herbs.

Such a large quantity of rare materials naturally elicited a murmur of surprise from those around them.

These materials are all precious and rare high-grade medicinal herbs, and when combined, their value far exceeds that of the Peiyuan Pill.

Lan Ruo pondered for a moment, then asked, "These medicinal herbs are no ordinary ones. What do you intend to use them for?"

Lu Xuan had already prepared his answer and replied frankly, "Reporting to the sect leader, this disciple is devoted to the Dao of alchemy and has come across several high-level alchemy formulas in ancient books, which I greatly admire."

The medicinal materials requested are preparations for future refinement when my cultivation improves.

This disciple is willing to exchange this reward for what is owed; if it is still insufficient, I am willing to make up the difference with future contributions to the sect.

Standing not far away, Li Muwan was gazing at Lu Xuan's profile.

Seeing this, Li Qiqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Little sister, I see you seem to be paying special attention to this Lu Qing. Is there something you're thinking about?"

Li Muwan rolled her eyes at her brother and replied, "What could I possibly think? I'm just surprised that he managed to complete the 'Full Furnace of Superior Grade' that even I couldn't."

"Really?" Li Qiqing asked with a half-smile.

This time, Li Muwan ignored him.

Lan Ruo observed Lu Xuan for a moment, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, she nodded slightly and said:

The sect does not possess the "Millennial Cold Jade Marrow".

You'll have to find the "Level 5 Wood Attribute Demon Core" yourself in the Demon Sea.

You can collect the remaining medicinal herbs from the warehouse later.

Lu Qing, I hope you can overcome arrogance and impetuosity, and make further progress in the path of alchemy.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Lu Xuan bowed deeply.

As the meeting concluded, Lu Qing's name swept through the entire Luohe Gate like a whirlwind.

Three months into the course, first place in all three subjects;

Giving up a huge reward in order to obtain rare medicinal herbs...

All of these things became topics of conversation that the disciples of the Luohe Sect enjoyed discussing.

After the event ended, Zhao Mu waited for Lu Xuan, but didn't say much. He just patted Lu Xuan's shoulder heavily.

Lu Xuan knew that the old man didn't like to talk, and the two understood each other without words.

Xu Yuan, on the other hand, was laughing so hard that his eyes disappeared from his grin.

He immediately handed Lu Xuan the tokens for the "Golden Flame" level cave dwelling and extra resources that he had promised.

After receiving the medicinal herbs, Lu Xuan arrived at his new cave dwelling.

Xu Yuan did not lie to him.

This cave dwelling is located deep in the mountains behind the Earth Fire Palace, where the Earth Fire is of extremely high quality.

The protective array inside the cave is several times stronger than before, and there is also an independent herb garden and a small spirit-gathering array, which can greatly improve both the cultivation of spiritual herbs and the practice of cultivation.

He took out the medicinal herbs he had received from the warehouse one by one and examined them.

Moon dew, thousand-year-old snow lotus, stardust...

Lu Xuan wanted to refine a fifth-grade pill, the Infant-Establishing Pill.

The Nascent Soul Pill can increase the success rate of Nascent Soul formation by 50%, making it a highly sought-after elixir for Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world.

However, the most important key ingredient in Liyingdan is called Jieyingguo (also known as Huayingguo), which is an extremely rare spiritual plant fruit.

Nascent Soul Fruit typically grows in the core area of ​​a thousand-year-old spiritual vein, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely abundant.

Especially those places where Nascent Soul cultivators once passed away, which absorbed the power of the cultivators' Nascent Soul origins and were thus formed.

However, such places are rare and hard to come by; it would take forever to find them on your own.

However, Lu Xuan knew of a better alternative, which was the Returning Breath Nascent Soul!

The main function of the Nascent Soul Fruit is to simulate the Nascent Soul, providing energy and a template for Nascent Soul formation.

The Returning Breath Nascent Soul comes from a Nascent Soul cultivator who has entered a state of tortoise breathing, so the real thing is naturally more effective than a simulation.

Lu Xuan knew only one person who knew the whereabouts of Gui Xi's Nascent Soul.

He is Qiu Siping of the Demon Sea!

In the original timeline,

Unable to break the ancient restriction set by his master, Qiu Siping sought cooperation from Wang Lin, who was an expert in restrictions.

The two worked together to break the restriction and successfully obtained two Nascent Souls, with each of them receiving one in the end.

Based on the current timeline...

Wang Lin possessed Ma Liang's body on the battlefield outside the region and came to the Fire Kingdom.

Since the extraterritorial battlefield hasn't opened yet, he probably won't appear in the Demon Cultivation Sea.

Then Qiu Siping's unfortunate master and senior brother should still be sleeping under the restriction.

Thinking of this, a thought popped into Lu Xuan's mind:

"The Teng family has been destroyed, so Wang Lin won't be killed by Teng Huayuan... Can he still enter the extraterritorial battlefield?"

"I wonder where this guy is causing trouble for people now..."

After putting away the medicinal herbs, Lu Xuan stretched his body, a slight smile playing on his lips, and muttered to himself:

"It's time to get some exercise..."

"Fellow cultivators of the Demon Sea,... have you missed me?"

…………

The Demon Sea is not a real ocean.

Instead, it is a vast and boundless, complex and dangerous place with chaotic spiritual energy.

There is no unified order here.

Large and small factions coexist, and murder, robbery, and the survival of the fittest are commonplace.

Countless cultivators, whether wanted by the righteous path, practicing demonic arts, or seeking opportunities, gather here, forming a unique and cruel ecosystem.

Do you still remember thirty years ago?

Lu Xuan's cultivation had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In order to find several rare materials,

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the dark side of this world and to refine my understanding of the "Codex of Destiny and Reincarnation,"

He once operated under the alias "Xuanlu" on the outskirts of the Demon Sea for a period of time.

Over time,

The name "Xuanlu" gradually spread to the outer reaches of the Demon Sea.

Later, in order to more easily access information and certain resources,

He then "visited" several small sects and independent cultivator groups located on the outskirts, which were the weakest and had the worst atmosphere, and became one of their elders.

However, for some reason, the "Black Deer" has not appeared in the past three years.

This relieved the smaller factions, but also made them somewhat uneasy.

Black Fiend Valley.

This place has long been inhabited by a rogue cultivator gang that makes a living by robbing low-level cultivators passing by.

The leader was a late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, known as "Black Bone".

Back then, they were the first people Lu Xuan "visited".

Three hundred miles outside Black Fiend Valley

Black Bone and his brothers were lying in ambush in the mountains, preparing to rob a group of low-level cultivators who had come from the Zhao Kingdom for training.

A young man beside him suddenly spoke up and asked, "Boss, Xuanlu hasn't appeared for several years. Do you think he was really killed by someone?"

Upon hearing the name "Xuanlu," Heigu shuddered involuntarily, then muttered a rebuke, "Why bring him up for no reason? It's bad luck!"

"Oh? Has my name offended your ears?"

The voice was very calm, even carrying a hint of gentle laughter.

But it made the hairs on Black Bone's body stand on end instantly!

He turned around abruptly, and almost instinctively slashed forward with a bone knife shrouded in black mist, while simultaneously retreating rapidly!

His seven or eight brothers around him also reacted quickly, each summoning their magical artifacts.

In an instant, various dark lights and blood-red rays burst forth, striking the direction from which the sound came.

However, they missed.

Not far away, on a protruding rock on the edge of a cliff, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

The man wore a simple gray-blue robe, and his face was shrouded in a thin mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

He stood there casually, as if he had been standing there for a long time, blending into the surrounding rocks and withered trees.

Black Bone scanned the area with his divine sense, but found nothing!

His heart,

It felt as if I had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through his back.
