Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

Lu Qingxuan shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm preparing for a rainy day. Relying solely on the alchemy furnace for defense will always have its weaknesses. If we can have one or two offensive divine abilities, we will have a better chance of defeating enemies in the future."

Jinjiao nodded and said, "That makes sense. The master is in the alchemy room. You may go in."

Lu Qingxuan pushed open the door and entered. The heat from the alchemy room hit him, and the flames in the Bagua furnace illuminated the entire room.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor sat cross-legged in front of the furnace, his eyes slightly lowered, his hands forming hand seals as he controlled the heat.

Lu Qingxuan dared not disturb him, so he knelt to the side and waited quietly.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Dao Ancestor slowly opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said calmly, "You've arrived? What is it?"

Lu Qingxuan kowtowed and said, "This disciple wishes to request one or two offensive and defensive techniques in preparation for unforeseen circumstances."

The Daoist Ancestor said, "Your alchemy furnace is sufficient to protect itself, so why do you still need to attack with supernatural powers?"

Lu Qingxuan said, "The alchemy furnace is good at defense but not offense. When I fought against the three Arhats, although I was able to avoid defeat, I was also unable to win quickly. If the Buddhist sect sends more experts in the future, I am afraid I will not be able to cope."

The Dao Ancestor was silent for a moment, then said, "You certainly think far ahead."

He took out a bamboo scroll from his sleeve, threw it to Lu Qingxuan, and said, "This is the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique. With your foundation in the Five Elements Escape Technique, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivating this technique."

Once mastered, it can draw upon the power of the five elements of heaven and earth to transform into divine thunder, possessing boundless power.

Lu Qingxuan accepted the bamboo slip with both hands, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

The Dao Ancestor then said, "Your alchemy furnace should be upgraded. Using a furnace from the time of a Profound Immortal at the Golden Immortal realm—isn't that shabby?"

As he spoke, the Dao Ancestor took out a purple-gold alchemy furnace from his sleeve, held it in his palm, and said, "This furnace is called the Purple-Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace. It was recently refined by your master. Take it and transfer the spiritual energy from your other alchemy furnace into this furnace. It will become your natal magic weapon in the future."

Lu Qingxuan took the Purple Gold Bagua Furnace. It felt heavy in his hand, and he could feel a powerful force contained within it. The myriad totems on the furnace were more intricate than the previous one, and they vaguely resembled the Bagua.

Overjoyed, he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The Dao Ancestor waved his hand and said, "Go, and remember, supernatural powers are good, but they are ultimately external things. Diligent cultivation is the right path."

Lu Qingxuan said, "This disciple will remember."

He carefully put away the bamboo slips and the alchemy furnace, then left the alchemy room.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn were waiting outside the door. Seeing him come out, Golden Horn smiled and said, "Junior Brother, what good things did Master give you?"

Lu Qingxuan took out the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace and held it in his palm.

Silver Horn gasped, "The Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace! This is a treasure that Master has been refining recently. Junior Brother, Master has truly treated you well!"

Golden Horn also said, "With this furnace, plus the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique, you will be able to handle even if all eighteen Arhats come together in the future."

Lu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Thank you both, senior brothers. I still need to go back and refine the pill furnace, so I won't stay any longer."

Jinjiao nodded and said, "Go back quickly, it's not good for your soul to be separated from your body for too long."

Lu Qingxuan cupped his hands in greeting, and his divine soul transformed into a golden light, rushing out of the Doushuai Palace and heading straight for the lower realm.

Returning to Zhongnan Mountain, my soul returned to its body.

Lu Qingxuan opened his eyes, took out the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique from his sleeve, and slowly unfurled it under the lamp.

The bamboo slips were densely covered with small characters, each character containing the Taoist Ancestor's profound understanding of the power of the Five Elements.

Furthermore, he had already mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique, and the power of the Five Elements circulated continuously within his body, making the cultivation of the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique a natural progression.

In just over a few months, he had completely mastered it.

Lu Qingxuan gently closed the bamboo slip and exhaled a long breath.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt his body brimming with immortal power, with faint sounds of wind and thunder emanating from his every move.

Spring is in full bloom in the courtyard, and the peach trees are covered with blossoms, their pink and white petals gently falling in the breeze.

Hearing the door open, Tiger Power Immortal looked up and saw Lu Qingxuan. He leaped up, grinning, and said, "Third Brother, you've emerged from seclusion? Have you mastered that supernatural power?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded and said, "I guess so."

Tiger Power Immortal's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, let's find a place to test its power!"

Immortal Yangli was also eager to try it out and see what was so wonderful about Lu Qingxuan's newly cultivated supernatural power.

The three demons left the Taoist temple and rode on clouds to a remote place in the back of Zhongnan Mountain.

The mountains here are steep and rugged, with no one living for miles around, making it the perfect place to test the method.

Tiger Power Immortal sat down on a huge rock, crossed his legs, and said, "Third Brother, you give it a try first, and I, Tiger, will give you my opinion."

The Great Immortal Yang Li retreated to a distance, stood with his hands behind his back, and watched quietly.

Lu Qingxuan stood in a vast valley, closed his eyes and focused his mind, his hands forming a hand seal.

The power of the five elements circulates within his body: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, mutually generating and restraining each other in an endless cycle.

He suddenly opened his eyes, flipped his right hand, and a ball of golden light condensed in his palm. The light was dazzling and bright, like the blazing sun in the sky.

With a gentle push, the ball of golden light flew out and instantly crashed into a mountain wall a hundred feet away.

boom!

A deafening roar shook the entire mountain.

Golden lightning exploded on the mountainside, sending rocks flying and dust billowing.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the figure that had vanished from the mountainside disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.

Tiger Power Immortal was so startled that he jumped up from the rock, his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Sheep Power Immortal also gasped, his hand stroking his beard trembling slightly.

"Third brother, your supernatural powers are a bit too terrifying," Tiger Power Immortal stammered.

Lu Qingxuan smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the result.

The one I just used was the Metal Element Divine Thunder, and its killing power is indeed much stronger than the other four types.

Lu Qingxuan then tested four other types of Five Elements Divine Thunder, and the results were surprisingly amazing.

Even the power contained in the Wood-element Divine Thunder is enough to severely injure a Golden Immortal!

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy. The five divine lightning bolts drained nearly half of his immortal power. If the attack fails, he will be the one who suffers in the end.

However, it's not bad. Compared to ordinary peak Golden Immortals, his Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique is even more powerful.

If done unexpectedly, it will definitely achieve good results.

Afterwards, Lu Qingxuan restored the damaged mountain wall to its original state and returned to the Taoist temple with the two demons.

With the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique, he now has another means of survival. All he needs to do next is refine the alchemy furnace, and his strength will be greatly enhanced.

The only difficulty is to fuse the original spiritual essence of the alchemy furnace into the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"It's a pity there's no Samadhi Fire, otherwise it would be much simpler..."

Lu Qingxuan sighed and began preparing to refine the spiritual essence.

Placing the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace in front of him, Lu Qingxuan took out the old alchemy furnace that had been with him for many years from his sleeve and gently stroked the mottled marks on its surface.

This alchemy furnace had been with him for many years, and now that he was going to replace it with a new one, he felt a little reluctant.
