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

Jiang Shi knew that these three disciples from top-tier powerful forces were doing this to curry favor with him.

Since that's the case, Jiang Shi wasn't the kind of person to stand on ceremony. He remembered this kindness in his heart and vowed to repay it many times over in the future.

"This is my Burning Heaven Sect's communication token." Huo Lie tossed out a small crimson token, imbued with Huo Lie's aura.

With this card, one can connect with the fiery flames.

Shui Lingxi also handed a deep blue token to Jiang Shi.

"Junior Brother Jiang, come to my Burning Heaven Sect when you have time, and I'll take you to try the Fiery Jade Elixir," Huo Lie said.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shui Lingxi stood quietly beside Huo Lie, watching the two of them.

After the two finished speaking, Huo Liebian led Shui Lingxi away.

Only Feng Yiran remained at the scene.

"Senior Brother Feng, we owe you a lot again this time," Jiang Shi said sincerely.

This time, Feng Yiran played a significant role in obtaining the Five Elements Wheel and the Five Elements Dao Seed.

He was a key player in this battle!

In every battle, Feng Yiran fights against two or more opponents at once.

Even in the final battle against Jin Bufan, who had swallowed the Demon Essence Pill, Feng Yiran did not retreat a single step!

He fought desperately multiple times and managed to block Jin Bufan's attacks!

"It's nothing, not worth mentioning," Feng Yiran said calmly, without taking credit for anything.

"The Five Elements Demon Sect lost an inner disciple this time, which is no small matter. Your name will surely reach the ears of those prodigies."

"Be extra careful!"

Feng Yiran gave a heartfelt reminder.

"What you say is absolutely right, Senior Brother. I understand!" Jiang Shi replied earnestly.

Feng Yiran nodded and handed a token engraved with sword marks to Jiang Shi.

Then it transformed into a beam of sword light and flew away, leaving behind only one sentence.

"If there's a war, call me!"

That's how sword cultivators are—they fear no battle!

Jiang Shi watched him leave and remembered this favor.

Then, Jiang Shi contacted Fang Jiuyue, and after receiving the news, he also left.

Fang Family Villa.

When Jiang Shi arrived, Fang Jiuyue was already waiting in the inner room.

She leaned against the wall, tossing the Fang family's guest token in her hand.

Seeing Jiang Shi walk in from the door, she stopped what she was doing and put the token into her sleeve.

"Your cultivation has improved again," Fang Jiuyue exclaimed. Jiang Shi's cultivation speed was too fast, it was astonishing.

"You've gained quite a bit in the secret realm." Jiang Shi walked up to her, took out a stone slip from his storage bracelet, and handed it to her.

"What you want is the secret method for forming the Golden Elixir from the Five Elements Reincarnation Seal Method, the method for condensing a first-grade Golden Elixir."

Fang Jiuyue took the stone slip and probed it with her spiritual sense.

Her eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. She looked at the stone tablet twice before carefully putting it away.

"This is it! It's something my father has been searching for for a long time. With it, I can condense a first-grade golden core!"

"As long as it works."

Fang Jiuyue looked at him and suddenly smiled slyly, "By then, when we both have the first-grade Five Elements Golden Core, you might not be able to beat me."

"I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you," Jiang Shi said jokingly.

However, he was not worried about this. Even if they were both Five Elements Golden Core cultivators, Jiang Shi could go further than others!

Fang Jiuyue didn't tease him. She nodded, took out the guest elder token from her sleeve, handed it to Jiang Shi, and then said:

"My father said, keep this token safe. With this token, your status in the Fang family is equivalent to that of an elder, and you can use some of the Fang family's resources."

Jiang Shi took the token and put it into his storage bracelet.

This token is extremely valuable. You should know that the lowest level of elders in the Fang family is the Nascent Soul stage.

Such guest elder orders are used to win over outsiders.

Even so, one can still gain a lot of convenience from Fang's family.

In particular, he also killed the scions of the four great families of Zhongzhou, as well as the inner disciples of the Five Elements Demon Sect.

Having this token will make the other party more wary and prevent them from using other methods against him.

"There's one more thing. The Five Elements Demon Sect has already withdrawn to their sect. They reported what happened in the secret realm. Jin Bufan's uncle, Jin Yuanba, who is at the peak of the late Golden Core stage, has already declared that he will kill you with his own hands."

"Of course he won't come now. The Five Elements Dao Discussion is imminent, and the Five Elements Demonic Sect dares not make a move during the discussion. But he will come to find you after the discussion ends."

Jiang Shi nodded without saying anything more.

Fang Jiuyue glanced at him again: "You're injured."

Jiang Shi looked down at his arms. His sleeves were torn by the sword light, revealing two half-foot-long wounds underneath.

The wound had scabbed over, but it wasn't completely healed yet. Underneath the scab was new, tender flesh, pink in color, which was quite shocking.

"External injury".

"A superficial injury is still an injury." Fang Jiuyue took out a bottle of ointment from her storage bracelet and handed it to him.

Jiang Shi took the ointment, but did not use it immediately; instead, he put it into his storage bracelet.

"I need to go into seclusion, and I need a place to do so."

It's better to ask Fang Jiuyue for help than to find a place yourself.

Fang Jiuyue's eyes lit up: "How long?"

"It could take as little as one year, or as long as three years."

Fang Jiuyue thought for a moment, then spoke up:

Fang Jiuyue's eyes lit up: "How long?"

"It could take as little as one year, or as long as three years."

Fang Jiuyue thought for a moment, then spoke up:

"The Grade 3 spiritual vein cave dwelling behind the Fang family's mountain, the one you used before, you can continue to use it anytime if you wish."

"Thank you very much."

"No need to thank me, what you gave me is worth the price." Fang Jiuyue turned and walked towards the outside of the stone chamber. "Let's go, I'll take you there."

The two left the underground stone chamber, took to the air, and flew towards the Fang family's location.

Night had fallen, the sky was dotted with stars, and the moon was mostly obscured by clouds, its light only faint.

After flying for about half an hour, they arrived at the Fang family's residence.

Fang Jiuyue did not go through the main gate, but led Jiang Shi around the back mountain.

The mountain behind is not high, but it is rich in spiritual energy, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.

The spiritual vein lies deep within the mountain, and the spiritual energy seeping through the surface shrouds the entire mountain in a thin mist.

The stone gate halfway up the mountain was still open, and the formation inside was still in operation.

Fang Jiuyue stood at the door, but did not go in.

"I'll be watching over you outside, no one will disturb you," Fang Jiuyue said.

Jiang Shi didn't stand on ceremony. He entered the cave, and the stone door slowly closed behind him.

The cave was the same as before.

There is a training room, a pill-making room, a meditation room, and a spiritual spring pool.

The spirit-gathering array in the center of the training room was still in operation, with spiritual energy surging from the ground and forming a light mist in the room.

Jiang Shi walked to the prayer mat and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the bottle of wound medicine from his storage bracelet and applied it to the wounds on his arms.

The ointment is light green and has a cooling sensation when applied, immediately relieving the itching at the wound site.

The tender flesh beneath the scab was growing rapidly, and after a few breaths, the scab fell off, revealing perfectly intact skin.

The third-grade lower-level wound medicine is indeed very effective.

He put the medicine bottle away and closed his eyes to meditate.
