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

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Feng, but I have my own path to follow," Jiang Shi said.

He spoke with absolute certainty and great confidence.

He has already pioneered a path for the Five Elements, a path of his own.

Jiang Shi was confident that he would be able to advance to the Golden Core realm within one or two years.

Upon hearing Jiang Shi's words, Feng Yiran nodded and said no more.

After all, the two had only met by chance and were not very familiar with each other. If they talked too much, it would be too intimate and could hurt their feelings.

People like Fang Jiuyue and Xuan Yuanyi don't usually talk much.

We just fight together silently when it comes to battle.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Golden Core Realm." After saying this, Feng Yiran flew into the sky and disappeared as a streak of sword light.

After Feng Yiran left, Xuanli, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Burning Heaven Sect, stepped forward.

"Senior Brother Xuan." Jiang Shi and the other two greeted Xuan Li.

Even if Jiang Shi's current strength is perhaps already higher than Xuan Li's.

However, this is the territory of the Burning Heaven Sect, so it's better to keep a low profile.

"Originally, I also wanted to invite you to join our Burning Heaven Sect," Xuanli said, looking at Jiang Shi.

Xuanli also greatly admired Jiang Shi's fire-type talent, believing that he was very suitable to join their Burning Heaven Sect.

"I gave up on that idea after hearing what Feng Yiran said. You have indeed found your own path."

Xuanli said this, and that was indeed what he thought.

Xuanli could tell at a glance that Jiang Shi practiced the Five Elements Technique and followed the Path of the Five Elements.

A person like this would never devote their heart to a single path.

Under these circumstances, it is indeed not suitable for Jiang Shi to join the Burning Heaven Sect.

After all, the Burning Heaven Sect is primarily based on fire, and this fire-based secret realm doesn't even have the spiritual energy of wood or water. Cultivating here for too long would delay Jiang Shi's cultivation progress.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xuan, I have already forged my own path," Jiang Shi said frankly, there was nothing to hide.

If you try to hide or conceal your true intentions, it will only affect your resolve to follow the Tao.

"Very good, it seems you're not far from reaching the Golden Core stage," Xuanli said.

This Golden Core stage is also known as the True Person stage.

The main reason is to "distinguish the true from the false"!

To forge your own path, your own way.

The Alloy Elixir, also known as the Dao Integration Elixir!

The first encounter with the existence of the Tao, and the comprehension of one's own Tao!

Only in this way can we unleash the divine power that contains nature and the Tao!

To walk one's own path, to continuously achieve the Great Dao, and to attain immortality—this is the path of cultivation.

That's why there's a saying: "Below the Golden Elixir, all are but ants!"

Xuanli could see that Jiang Shi had already found his own path, so he was naturally not far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and entering the Golden Core stage!

"It's indeed not far off." Jiang Shi didn't hide anything.

He didn't sense any malice from Xuanli. Jiang Shi had great faith in his own mental perception.

Especially after entering the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Jiang Shi's mental strength increased significantly.

"I'm also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of demeanor you'll have after you reach the Golden Core realm," Xuanli said with a smile.

It's always better to befriend such a genius than to offend him.

At Xuanli and Feng Yiran's level, no one is a fool; no one would easily offend another.

Xu Xuan, for example, came to fight Jiang Shi and the other two because he wanted to maintain his own peace of mind and prevent his younger brother from affecting his advancement to the Golden Core stage.

The skirmishes between the group were minor, and no one was seriously injured.

Xu Xuan's younger brother, Xu Huan, also fell out with Jiang Shi because the Crimson Spirit Feather, a spiritual artifact, could help him advance to the Golden Core stage.

Xuanli was very polite, and Jiang Shi reciprocated with great respect.

After their conversation, Jiang Shi suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Xuan, I wonder if there's a way to return to the cultivation world from this fire-elemental secret realm?"

Now that all objectives have been achieved, there is no reason to stay in this fire-elemental secret realm any longer.

Jiang Shi came to the Fire Element Secret Realm primarily to find the Marrow Cleansing Spring and other spiritual items of the Five Elements.

He also created his own fire-based body-refining technique and broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

These have all been achieved perfectly now.

Jiang Shi now wants to leave quickly and cultivate in the world of immortals.

Although this fire-elemental secret realm is excellent, its fire spiritual power is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of the outside world.

However, this fire-elemental secret realm also has a very obvious drawback: it lacks all five elements, specifically earth and water elemental power.

This was quite fatal for Jiang Shi, who had practiced the Five Elements Technique.

Short-term cultivation is fine, but long-term cultivation here will cause Jiang Shi's five elements to become incomplete, resulting in a significant drop in his cultivation level.

That's why Jiang Shi wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Of course there's a way to leave, priced at five hundred mid-grade spirit stones," Xuanli said immediately upon hearing Jiang Shi's words.

Jiang Shi was speechless; he hadn't expected that this would cost money.

However, it's not that Xuanli is heartless; these fees were set by the Burning Heaven Sect.

Although Xuanli values ​​Jiang Shi highly, he would not break the sect's rules for Jiang Shi's sake.

This is a separate issue! They are not the same thing!

However, Jiang Shi was not lacking either. With this amount of money, he casually took a high-grade magic weapon and a mid-grade magic weapon to offset the mid-grade spirit stones.

After deciding to leave, Jiang Shi bid farewell to Xuan Yuan Yi and Fang Jiu Yue.

Although the three of them did not spend much time together, they forged a deep friendship.

In several battles, you helped me, and I helped you; through mutual assistance, our friendship grew very rapidly.

"Brother Xuanyuan, Junior Sister Fang, it is fate that we will meet again after this parting." Jiang Shi said. Although the parting was sad, none of them were sentimental. They were all devoted to the Great Dao and sought immortality.

"Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet again in the future, Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Xuanyuan." Fang Jiuyue took out two small tokens.

The sign is engraved with the number "nine".

"This is a sound transmission jade tablet!" Jiang Shi recognized the object. Although he had never seen it before, he had heard of it.

This communication jade tablet is used for long-distance communication between cultivators, and it is much more convenient than the Xiaoze Golden Sword.

Simply imprint your spiritual awareness into it, and each time you send information into it, the other cardholders will receive it.

As long as you don't cross this boundary, you can go any distance, which is very convenient.

There is also a sound transmission jade disc on the sound transmission jade tablet, which can also transmit images.

"If there's an opportunity in the future, let's fight together again," Xuan Yuan Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Xuanyuan Yi has never had any friends since he was a child.

Within the Xuanyuan clan, the competitive pressure is immense; battles occur almost daily.

Meeting Jiang Shi and Fang Jiuyue allowed Xuan Yuan Yi to experience a kind of friendship he had never felt before, which he cherished very much.

"Wishing you all a swift attainment of the Golden Elixir!"
