Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Both demonic wolves possessed cultivation levels at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

They also possess special abilities and are incredibly powerful.

"Han Luo and Liu Xiu can both refine early Foundation Establishment stage demonic puppets. If we can capture that fat woman and refine her too, wouldn't we be able to directly refine her into a late Foundation Establishment stage demonic puppet?" Jiang Shi thought to himself.

Chen Sisi has mastered the "Devouring Wood Divine Technique," making ordinary high-grade magic weapons useless to her. Her body is perfect for refining demonic puppets.

"I must refine her sometime in the future!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Shi put away the two demonic wolves. These two early Foundation Establishment stage demonic wolves would become one of his trump cards.

After retrieving the demon wolf, Jiang Shi took out a futon and sat down cross-legged.

Jiang Shi took a black, unusual stone out of his storage bag.

This stone is entirely black, and a warm feeling emanates from it when you hold it in your hand.

It's as if there's a flame burning fiercely inside.

This black stone is a second-grade lower-level spiritual item—the Earth Flame Stone.

These spiritual creatures typically appear in volcanoes and deep underground.

Jiang Shi placed it in his palm, his spiritual sense penetrating his body and sinking into the Earth Flame Stone.

Under his spiritual perception, Jiang Shi seemed to see everything turn to ashes under the burning flames, falling to the ground and becoming part of the land.

He possesses two techniques based on the mutual generation of the five elements: "Wood generates Fire" and "Water generates Wood".

With the help of these two spells and the Earth Flame Stone, Jiang Shi began to create a new spell.

Time passed little by little, and a month later...

Jiang Shi opened his eyes, and a flash of fire passed through them.

Jiang Shi stretched out his hand, and flames ignited, blooming like flowers.

After the bloom, the flames dissipated.

A dense layer of earth magic appeared between his fingers, then turned into soil that drifted in the wind.

[Self-created intermediate-level profound-grade spell: Fire generates Earth]

[Fire generates Earth: 30/500]

The Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique is still missing two parts.

However, a month has now passed, and it's time to leave the country.

Jiang Shi walked out of the cave, but Granny Zhu was still standing at the door without making a move.

Granny Zhu was completely loyal to Hua Luoyu. Under Hua Luoyu's orders, she, a powerful cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, served as Jiang Shi's bodyguard for four months.

"You're so late. Didn't you know you had an appointment with a girl and needed to arrive earlier?" Hua Luoyu's voice rang in Jiang Shi's ears.

Jiang Shi quickly turned around and saw Hua Luoyu standing behind him, pretending to be angry.

Jiang Shi didn't speak. He pretended not to hear and cursed inwardly, wondering what kind of trick this guy was up to now.

Seeing that Jiang Shi didn't intend to pay attention to her, Hua Luoyu giggled again.

"Let's see how long you can ignore me." Hua Luoyu clapped her hands.

Four mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators carried a red sedan chair and descended from the sky to their side.

"Valley Master, Junior Brother, please come in," Elder Wan, the leading cultivator, said respectfully.

Having already ridden in the sedan chair once, Jiang Shi didn't feel as much pressure as last time, and he got into the sedan chair very skillfully.

After Hua Luoyu and Jiang Shi had gone inside, the four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators carried the sedan chair and soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of the loose cultivator market.

The market town for scattered cultivators has long since ceased to exist in name only.

Having encountered demonic calamities multiple times, most cultivators chose to flee.

The remaining rogue cultivators were all eliminated after the three major sects moved into the rogue cultivator market.

The current market for rogue cultivators serves as an outpost for the three major sects to explore the Misty Mansion.

The Liu family, a scattered cultivator's market.

A handsome young man, holding a folding fan, descended from the sky.

"Greetings, Senior Ouyang!" The cultivator standing guard in the market bowed respectfully to Ouyang Yu.

Ouyang Yu walked into the courtyard and began to think about how to extricate himself perfectly from this matter.

Ouyang Yu had already practiced the cultivation techniques that circulated from the Misty Mansion, but they were of no use whatsoever.

Mysterious scriptures are useless no matter how good they are, if no one can decipher them.

Moreover, the Misty Mansion is extremely dangerous. Last time, the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators joined forces and suffered great losses. He almost died from the corruption of demonic energy.

If it weren't for his master's orders, he wouldn't have wanted to come today.

Just then, a streak of silver light flashed across the sky.

"Sword cultivators! It's the people from Qingyun Sect!" Ouyang Yu recognized the people.

The sword intent descended from the sky, attacking him.

Ouyang Yu became wary and quickly used his fan to defend himself.

But the opponent was too fast, and didn't give him any time to channel his magic power or cast spells before knocking the fan out of Ouyang Yu's hand.

"Uncle-Master Lu, you're joking again." Ouyang Yu was very angry because his fan had been knocked away by someone.

But he didn't reveal a single thing on the surface.

As the silver light dissipated, another person appeared in the courtyard. Lu Yuanfeng held a small silver sword, his whole body radiating sword intent.

"Nephew Ouyang, it's been a few months, and your strength has declined significantly. It seems that Shangguan Shuo's disciples are of very poor quality," Lu Yuanfeng said sarcastically.

"Uncle-Master Lu, I heard that you sparred with my master some time ago. I wonder how it went? Did you gain anything?" Ouyang Yu didn't answer Lu Yuanfeng's question, but instead asked him in return.

A year ago, Lu Yuanfeng tested his sword against Biluo Valley and Lingxu Sect.

He won a great victory in Biluo Valley, and it is said that several late-stage Foundation Establishment elders were defeated by him.

However, Lu Yuanfeng later challenged Shangguan Shuo, the city lord of Canglin City.

In the end, Lu Yuanfeng lost and Shangguan Shuo won.

This battle brought Shangguan Shuo's reputation among the three major sects to its peak.

This also damaged Lu Yuanfeng's sword heart. He returned to his sect and went into seclusion for a long time before emerging again to repair his sword heart.

This is also why Lu Yuanfeng targeted Ouyang Yu.

His sword spirit was damaged, so he was no longer calm. In order to make up for his damaged sword spirit, he actually wanted to get revenge on Shangguan Shuo's disciple.

Ouyang Yu was indeed no match for Lu Yuanfeng, but he would not embarrass his master while traveling.

He and Lu Yuanfeng were locked in a tense standoff, on the verge of fighting at any moment.

At that moment, the two stopped confronting each other and suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Is Biluo Valley deserted? That old hag actually went on an expedition herself!" Lu Yuanfeng thought to himself. He had originally intended to make amends to Jianxin, but now he immediately wanted to go home.

Four mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators carried the sedan chair, as a shower of flowers fell from the sky.

Only one person from each of the three major sects made such an entrance.

The rain has fallen from the main flower of Biluo Valley!

Lu Yuanfeng dared not be presumptuous in front of Hua Luoyu. Although he won all three battles in Biluo Valley last time, he had suffered a loss at Hua Luoyu's hands, but he had never said it to anyone.

"Who is this person? How dare he get off the sedan chair of the Flower Valley Master?"

Jiang Shi stepped out of the sedan chair first.

Then he bent down, stretched out his arm, and a jade-like hand from inside the sedan chair gently grasped Jiang Shi's hand.

Hua Luoyu clung tightly to Jiang Shi and came to stand in front of Lu Yuanfeng and Ouyang Yu.
