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

The next morning, Fang Jiuyue knocked on the door.

Jiang Shi opened the door, and she had changed her clothes. She was wearing a dark blue long dress, and her hair was tied up, making her look more dignified than usual.

"Let's go, my father is waiting for you at the Fang family home," Fang Jiuyue said.

The two took to the air and flew towards the Fang family's residence.

They arrived at the Fang family's house quickly.

The Fang family mansion occupies a vast area, with numerous buildings and pavilions scattered throughout.

The outer perimeter is surrounded by high walls, which are covered with array patterns and shimmering with spiritual light.

A transparent light curtain covered the mansion, forming a protective array strong enough to withstand attacks from Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Fang Jiuyue landed at the entrance of the mansion with Jiang Shi.

Two guards, both at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, stood at the entrance. They did not stop Fang Jiuyue when they saw her.

Although Fang Jiuyue is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, she has recently made great progress in cultivating the Five Elements Mutual Generation True Meaning, and her status in the Fang family has also improved.

If they break through to the Golden Core stage in the future, they can also be promoted to a core disciple.

Fang Jiuyue led Jiang Shi inside directly.

After passing through several doors and walking along several long corridors, they arrived at a detached courtyard.

Two spirit trees stand at the entrance of the courtyard, brimming with spiritual energy, with runes faintly flowing across their trunks.

"Your father is waiting for you inside, please wait a moment," Fang Jiuyue said.

Jiang Shi nodded and stood at the door waiting.

Fang Jiuyue pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the door opened again. Fang Jiuyue came out and said to Jiang Shi, "Come in."

Jiang Shi followed her into the courtyard.

The courtyard is not large, with an ancient pine tree in the middle, and a stone table and two stone benches under the pine tree.

A middle-aged man sat on a stone bench, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

He wore a blue robe, had a square face, and exuded an imposing aura.

He didn't deliberately release his aura, but Jiang Shi felt a sense of oppression as soon as he entered, as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.

A Nascent Soul stage cultivator!!!

Fang Zhenyue glanced at Jiang Shi, his gaze calm and without hostility.

"sit."

Jiang Shi sat down opposite him. Fang Jiuyue stepped aside and stood quietly.

Fang Zhenyue poured him a cup of tea, which was extremely rich in spiritual energy; it was actually a grade three spiritual tea.

"I told you about you in September," Fang Zhenyue said in a deep voice. "Five spiritual roots, a first-grade five-colored golden core, and you made it all the way from a small place like Canglin to the Central Continent. You're very impressive."

Jiang Shi didn't respond, waiting for him to continue.

"I have a question for you, and you must answer truthfully." Fang Zhenyue put down his teacup, looked into Jiang Shi's eyes, and asked, "What is your relationship with the Five Elements Master?"

Jiang Shi remained silent for a moment.

"It doesn't matter. I cultivate the Five Elements Dao because I have five spiritual roots, and this path is most suitable for me. The Five Elements Master's inheritance was something I obtained by chance in the secret realm, nothing more."

Jiang Shi answered truthfully, there was no need to lie about this, and it was not good to hide it from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Fang Zhenyue stared at him for a few moments, then nodded.

"I believe you. If you are truly the reincarnation of the Five Elements Master, your five-colored golden core would not be so pure. A reincarnated being's golden core must contain impurities."

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"I invited you here today because I want to ask you to do something."

Jiang Shi remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"On the fifth level of the Five Elements Demon Sect's forbidden area, there is something that my daughter, Fang Jiuyue, needs," Fang Zhenyue said. "It is a jade tablet that records a cultivation technique called the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Seal Technique'."

Jiang Shi's heart stirred; this technique was also mentioned in the Five Elements Master's legacy.

"Master Wuxing was not a disciple of the Five Elements Demonic Sect back then; he originally came from Pudu Temple," Fang Zhenyue revealed, shocking Jiang Shi.

"No wonder this person is called the Five Elements Master, he really is a monk."

Generally, Taoist priests who break through to the Nascent Soul realm are respectfully called True Persons, while only monks are called Superior People.

Pudu Temple is one of the ten major Buddhist sects.

Jiang Shi had heard others talk about it before, saying that Pudu Temple chased the Five Elements Master to the vicinity of the Five Elements Demon Sect.

It seems that it was that incident that led Master Wuxing to join the Five Elements Demonic Sect, one of the six major sects.

Theoretically speaking, such an act of betraying one's sect is a major taboo, but for some unknown reason, Pudu Temple actually let Master Wuxing go back then.

"This Five Elements Reincarnation Seal Method has some influence from the practices of Pudu Temple."

"Among this seal technique, there is a method for condensing a first-grade golden core, which is very suitable for those with five spiritual roots to cultivate."

"I only want that one secret technique!"

After saying that, Fang Zhenyue took out a talisman from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"A high-grade third-rank spirit talisman, a metal-type offensive talisman, equivalent to a full-force strike from the late-stage peak of the Golden Core realm."

He then took out another pill and placed it next to the talisman.

"A Grade 3 superior Rejuvenation Pill, which can instantly restore 50% of one's true essence after consumption."

Finally, he took out a jade pendant and pushed it over.

"This is the Fang family's protective jade pendant, capable of withstanding three full-force attacks from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator."

Jiang Shi looked at the three items on the table and agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, I will pass on that secret technique for forming the Golden Core to you," Jiang Shi said.

"Alright, I will pass on that secret technique for forming the Golden Core to you," Jiang Shi said.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. Fang Zhenyue did all this so that his daughter, Fang Jiuyue, could condense a first-grade golden core and enter the realm of the golden core.

This grade of Golden Elixir is indeed powerful, as Jiang Shi has experienced firsthand.

With his first-grade Golden Core, he was able to kill a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator even at the early stage of the Golden Core realm!

It's absolutely terrifying!

"Enter the forbidden area, go to the fifth level, and retrieve the jade tablet. Everything else, including the Five Elements Wheel and the Dao Seed of the Five Elements Master, is yours."

"As a reward, I'll give you this jade pendant, along with the talisman and pills," Fang Zhenyue said.

"What if I don't get it?"

"Then you didn't get it." Fang Zhenyue smiled. "I won't blame you. Forbidden areas are inherently dangerous. If something is impossible, there's no need to force it."

Jiang Shi thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I promise."

Fang Zhenyue nodded in satisfaction and pushed the talisman, pills, and jade pendant in front of Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi put away the three items.

The jade pendant was warm to the touch, and the Fang family crest was engraved on it, with the power of an array faintly flowing within it.

"The forbidden area will open in two months," Fang Zhenyue said. "You can enter if you possess the Five Elements Token."

"I've got it."

Fang Zhenyue then looked at Fang Jiuyue.

"September, you will send him back."

Fang Jiuyue nodded and left the courtyard with Jiang Shi.

After leaving the Fang family home, the two walked along the road, and Fang Jiuyue remained silent the entire time.

As they approached the villa, Fang Jiuyue finally spoke:

"I know this matter is extremely dangerous. If it is dangerous, please put yourself first, Senior Brother."

Jiang Shi nodded without saying anything more.

Jiang Shi returned to the villa, entered the training room, and sat down cross-legged.

The Five Elements Secret Realm will open in two months, so I still need to continue to increase my cultivation.
