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

Jiang Shi drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.

I hadn't drunk it in a long time, but I did so on a rare occasion.

Tea in the mortal world has a unique flavor.

Jiang Shi savored the bittersweet taste in his mouth and gained some insights.

Previously, when I drank spirit tea, although it tasted better and was more delicious, I always focused on extracting spiritual energy for cultivation.

I haven't had a chance to properly savor the taste of the tea itself.

It was the same in his previous cultivation. Ever since he entered the world of cultivation, Jiang Shi had been constantly pushed forward.

They are constantly on the go, either cultivating or fighting enemies, and have completely forgotten about life.

If this continues, it will inevitably affect one's cultivation and one's resolve in the Dao.

If his Dao heart is affected, even if Jiang Shi breaks through without any bottlenecks, he will still have to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation when he breaks through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

In addition to tribulations such as thunder, wind, and fire, there is also the most terrifying tribulation of the heart!

If one cannot overcome the mental tribulation, one will die and perish, falling into demonic possession!

That's why Jiang Shi specifically took Jiang Yu as his apprentice.

It's all about experiencing the bond between master and disciple!

Jiang Shi does not cultivate the path of ruthlessness, so he is naturally not a heartless or ungrateful person.

He also has emotions and desires, but he usually keeps these emotions to himself. Suppress it, focus everything on cultivation and longevity.

Jiang Shi suddenly thought that Hua Luoyu's situation might also be a way for him to temper his heart in the mortal world and experience the seven emotions and six desires.

However, Jiang Shi had no time to think about it.

Hua Luoyu sat in front of Jiang Shi, her hands cupping her jade-like face, her eyes sparkling like stars as she looked at him.

Jiang Shi ignored Hua Luoyu's gaze and continued speaking to himself:

"Master, your disciple needs a treasure. I wonder if you could give it to me?"

"Oh—!" Hua Luoyu raised her voice upon hearing Jiang Shi's words.

"I wonder what kind of treasure it is that would make my disciple ask me personally?"

Hua Luoyu had a smile on her face and a very pleasant voice.

"A third-grade wood-type spiritual item, and a third-grade earth-type spiritual item," Jiang Shi said expressionlessly.

"A third-grade spiritual item?" Hua Luoyu stopped smiling and became serious.

In the Canglin region, third-grade spiritual items, whether spiritual materials or spiritual weapons, are the most top-tier treasures.

At that time in Lingxu Sect, Lingxuzi did not offer Jiang Shi a third-grade spiritual item.

In the entire Canglin region, only Golden Core stage cultivators and these sect leaders likely possess third-grade spiritual items.

"That's right, I need a Grade 3 spiritual item," Jiang Shi affirmed again.

This time, Hua Luoyu took out a flower basket from her storage bag.

The flower basket exudes a spiritual quality and is quite extraordinary.

"A low-grade spiritual weapon," Jiang Shi couldn't help but say.

This low-grade spiritual artifact is exactly what Jiang Shi needs—the third-grade wood-type spiritual item.

If Jiang Shi had this item, it wouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate the wood-based refining technique "Yi Wood Mysterious Azure Finger" to perfection.

"However, this low-grade spiritual artifact is extremely valuable. It is also my natal spiritual artifact that I have been refining for many years. If I give it to you, it will have a great impact on my cultivation," Hua Luoyu said.

When Hua Luoyu said these words, her personality suddenly changed; she was no longer acting like a typical young girl.

On the contrary, it has a domineering feel, with a strong presence.

Only then did she display the aura of a sect leader.

"I can borrow it," Jiang Shi said again.

We wholeheartedly recommend this book to you: "Cultivating Immortality: Heaven Rewards Diligence, Success is Surely Within Reach". Read it here.

This wood-based purification technique, "Yi Wood Mysterious Azure Finger," was first created by Jiang Shi.

It is also one of the techniques that Jiang Shi uses most often.

That "Entangling Silk Thread" technique helped Jiang Shi defeat countless powerful enemies.

This also allowed Jiang Shi's skill level to increase exceptionally quickly.

Now, Jiang Shi's "Yi Mu Xuan Qing Finger" is not far from reaching perfection.

【Yi Wood Xuan Qing Indicator: Great Completion (2200/3000)】

With only 800 proficiency points away from achieving mastery, even without a third-grade wood-type spiritual object, Jiang Shi could break through to perfection in this technique in less than a year.

With a third-grade wood-type spiritual object, cultivation will be much faster.

"I only need to borrow it for a week. I will definitely return this low-grade spiritual artifact after a week," Jiang Shi said.

"Okay!" Upon hearing Jiang Shi's words, Hua Luoyu immediately agreed. It was only a week, so it wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, Hua Luoyu also has her own plans, which require the use of Shangjiang stone.

"Sure, but I need you to promise me one thing: help me kill someone."

Hua Luoyu said, word by word.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Shi immediately agreed:

"Tell me, as long as it's not a big deal, I can help you. Even killing the head of the Qingyun Sect wouldn't be a problem."

Among all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the entire Canglin region, only Jiang Shi had the ability and the courage to say something like killing the Qingyun Sect Leader Lu.

Even falling petals and rain won't work!

"Sect Leader Lu's level is too low. I don't want you to kill him," Hua Luoyu said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi's face darkened.

"Even Sect Leader Lu is too low-level. You can't possibly want me to kill a Golden Core cultivator, can you?" Jiang Shi said in a deep voice, his face grim.

"Farewell, goodbye!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi immediately stood up, flicked his hand, and was about to walk out the door.

Are you kidding me? Kill a Golden Core cultivator? Him?

Isn't that just courting death?

Even though Jiang Shi can be considered the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator now, the only one who can compare to him is Feng Yiran, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Taihua Sword Sect.

However, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is, after all, just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

No matter how talented someone is, they can never compare to a Golden Core cultivator.

Not to mention killing a Golden Core cultivator.

Unless you possess a treasure at the Nascent Soul level or a high-grade spiritual artifact.

Moreover, that would only be if the Golden Core cultivator himself had a problem.

Otherwise, a Golden Core cultivator with supernatural powers, such as the simple "One Step a Thousand Miles" supernatural power, could render all the arrangements and traps of a Foundation Establishment cultivator ineffective.

You take out a high-grade spiritual artifact, but before you can even activate it, a Golden Core cultivator can teleport a thousand miles away in a single step. How will you deal with that?

Therefore, no matter how high Jiang Shi's combat power was, he understood that it was impossible to deal with a Golden Core stage cultivator.

"What if I said I had a way?" Hua Luoyu asked again.

These words made Jiang Shi stop in his tracks.

He wanted to hear what method Hua Luoyu had that gave her such confidence in dealing with a Golden Core cultivator!

"Have you ever heard of a top-grade spiritual weapon?" Hua Luoyu asked.

Jiang Shi had naturally heard of top-grade spiritual artifacts.

The most powerful magical artifact!

A high-grade spiritual weapon can injure a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

There is a top-grade spiritual weapon that can protect the sect's rise and fall for a thousand years.

Among the major sects, some core disciples also choose to use high-grade spiritual artifacts as their protectors.
