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

Upon hearing Ling Xuzi's words, all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present, including Shangguan Shuo, breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that a Golden Core stage cultivator is a top-tier figure in the Canglin region. If such a person is injured, it's like an earthquake.

The entire Canglin region will be shaken!

How could these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators possibly withstand such an earthquake!

Ling Xuzi is the Supreme Elder of the Lingxu Sect.

If something goes wrong, the Lingxu Sect might cease to exist.

Now, whatever the reason, since Ling Xuzi said everything was alright, they were relieved.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay at this banquet any longer," Ling Xuzi said. He didn't look at Jiang Shi; the terrifying aura he had just witnessed had truly startled him.

He now completely lacks the demeanor of a Golden Core cultivator.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more afraid of death one is; this statement is not untrue.

To him, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were nothing more than ants.

To that terrifying being, Ling Xuzi, a Golden Core cultivator, was nothing more than an ant.

So after Ling Xuzi finished speaking, he quickly left.

He dared not linger for even a moment longer.

After Ling Xuzi left, Shangguan Shuo was the first to react. He stood up and instructed the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were attending him:

"I apologize for disturbing Brother Jiang's enjoyment of wine today. Please go and fetch my treasured second-grade superior spirit wine, which I have kept for a hundred years, to make amends to Brother Jiang."

Second-grade superior spirit wine is quite valuable and is a rare find in the Canglin region.

Even within the Lingxu Sect, few people have ever tasted it.

The fact that Shangguan Shuo could produce this wine speaks volumes.

He was completely frightened by Jiang Shi. Apart from Jiang Shi and his disciple, everyone else present was a disciple of Lingxu Sect.

The only person who could injure Ling Xuzi, a Golden Core cultivator, was Jiang Shi!

This shows how terrifying Jiang Shi's identity is.

This young man must truly be a member of the prestigious Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert, and of considerable status; he must not be offended under any circumstances.

Shangguan Shuo could sense that Ling Xuzi was very wary of Jiang Shi when he left.

Befriending Jiang Shi is definitely the right thing to do.

Upon hearing Shangguan Shuo's words, Jiang Shi casually remarked:

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it."

His tone was somewhat perfunctory, simply because Jiang Shi's mind was currently focused on the depths of his dantian.

His attention was completely taken aback by the large clam deep within his dantian.

Just now, when Ling Xuzi used his spiritual eyes to examine Jiang Shi's body, Jiang Shi did not notice.

It wasn't until the giant clam revealed its aura deep within his dantian that Jiang Shi noticed it.

It turns out that Ling Xuzi was actually probing his body, and the mysterious giant clam inside him was incredibly terrifying!

This made him break out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Shi, after all, did not come from a top-tier power, had too little experience and information, and still had many things he did not understand about the cultivation world.

That's why they used to let the giant clam reside inside their bodies, deep within their dantian.

If it were the disciples of the Ten Great Sects or the Six Great Demonic Sects, these top-tier forces would not allow creatures of unknown origin to enter their dantian.

You must know that the dantian is the foundation of a cultivator's body. Without the dantian, one cannot enter the Dao, which means one cannot cultivate.

Damage to the dantian will destroy one's cultivation and cut off the path to immortality!

Jiang Shi's decision to let this mysterious giant clam enter the depths of his dantian could be described as either bold or ignorant.

If he were to encounter such a creature now, he would certainly not allow it to enter his body.

Fortunately, the giant clam had no ill intentions; on the contrary, it protected him, like a guardian of his own destiny.

Jiang Shi knew of the existence of these protectors; core disciples of top-tier powers would have protectors by their side.

It is used to prevent the assassination of the core disciples of one's own sect and to protect the future of the sect.

And now, he finally has his own protector.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Jiang Shi replied respectfully via telepathy.

However, when this sound transmission reached the depths of his dantian, the mysterious giant clam remained silent, without making a sound.

It was as if they couldn't understand Jiang Shi's telepathic message.

Therefore, Jiang Shi did not continue to transmit his voice, thus disturbing the giant clam.

In any case, he could sense that the mysterious giant clam harbored no ill will towards him whatsoever.

On the contrary, it helped him a lot.

Even without the help of this mysterious giant clam, Jiang Shi would never have been able to perfect the "Gui Shui Hua Qi Jue" technique.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Shi stopped caring about the giant clam and continued drinking with Shangguan Shuo.

This second-grade superior spirit wine contains a treasure of water-based spiritual objects.

Although Jiang Shi has already perfected the "Gui Water Transformation Qi Technique" and no longer needs water-based spiritual objects.

However, this second-grade superior spirit wine still possesses pure magical power and the wonderful effect of increasing cultivation.

Jiang Shi drank it, and his cultivation level increased further.

The magic power has also become more refined.

After several rounds of drinks, Jiang Shi suggested taking a break and asked Shangguan Shuo to arrange a quiet room for him.

Within the City Lord's Mansion of Canglin City, there is naturally no shortage of training rooms for cultivation.

Shangguan Shuo immediately made arrangements, and his men went to prepare a room.

Soon, a training room equipped with a mid-level second-grade Qi-gathering array was ready.

Jiang Shi intends to devour the silver flying sword within the city lord's mansion and cultivate the "Gold Devouring Technique" to perfection.

After all, they still need to go to Biluo Valley to see Hua Luoyu, and they still need to increase their cultivation level.

However, the existence of the mysterious giant clam gave Jiang Shi some confidence in this trip.

No longer afraid of the Supreme Elder of Biluo Valley, the Happy Immortal.

Jiang Shi went to cultivate, and his disciple Jiang Yu and Jiang Yu's grandfather were also arranged to stay.

Jiang Shi's status was extremely important, and his apprentices also rose in status accordingly.

Naturally, some people went to curry favor with Jiang Shi's apprentice, Jiang Yu.

For a moment, Jiang Yu was treated like a princess in the city lord's mansion.

Even Shangguan Shuo's daughter came to get close to Jiang Yu and befriend him.

Jiang Shi did not refuse after learning about this.

After all, he still needs to go to Biluo Valley in a few days, so he can't bring Jiang Yu with him.

Otherwise, who knows what that crazy woman, Hua Luoyu, might do?

With the City Lord's Mansion and the disciples of Lingxu Sect taking care of him, Jiang Shi felt very at ease!

Inside the training room, Jiang Shi summoned his Silver Light Flying Sword, and a silver sword pellet flew out and landed in his palm.

"Should I devour the Silver Light Flying Sword?" Jiang Shi wondered.

But just as he thought this, the silver flying sword seemed to have come to life and began to vibrate.

This is due to the sword cultivator's refining process. Daily refining will give this silver flying sword a spiritual quality.

That is, the metal element. Once the metal element is born, the silver flying sword will transform into a golden flying sword.

Feng Yiran, the eldest outer disciple of the Taihua Sword Sect, one of the ten major sects, followed this path.

Of course, Jiang Shi's silver flying sword did not truly possess any spirituality; it was far inferior to Feng Yiran's.
