Mortal Cultivation to Immortality: I Have 108,000 Techniques

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes activated the Heavenly Moon Divine Ship, leading her disciples back to the mountain gate.

Suddenly, a fiery red streak of light came chasing from behind.

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes was overjoyed upon seeing this.

She immediately stopped the flying boat, leaped out, and rushed to greet Wan'er with a face full of concern, "Wan'er, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"I'm sorry to have worried my senior sister."

Nangong Wan chuckled.

Her magical power fluctuated slightly, but she was not injured in any way.

This finally put the worried Fairy Ni Chang at ease.

"Junior sister, why are you only showing up now? What happened in the forbidden area?"

As the fairy in the rainbow robes pulled Nangong Wan back to the boat, she inquired about their experiences in the forbidden area.

"It's a long story."

Nangong Wan was secretly annoyed when she thought of what Zhang Yi had asked her to do. "I was accidentally caught up in a restriction and only managed to escape half a day ago. I immediately used a fire escape technique to catch up with him."

She concealed information about Zhang Yi, the forbidden land inheritance, and the monster materials, only mentioning some trivial matters.

A figure flashed beside them.

Old Monster Qiong appeared out of nowhere, chuckled, and said, "I knew it. My nephew Nangong is not destined to die young. He will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."

Ni Chang was extremely worried.

"Uncle Qiong."

Nangong Wan and Fairy Ni Chang hurriedly bowed.

"It's only because of my advanced age that you can call me 'Uncle-Master'."

Old Monster Qiong waved his hand, his expression turning solemn. "Alright, I came to see you about something else."

"I obtained the Bloodline Flood Dragon's inner core thanks to my junior nephew, Nangong. These two Invisible Needle Talismans are for your protection."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Monster Qiong's figure faded away and disappeared.

Only two talismans remained on the spot, shimmering with wisps of seven-colored needles.

"An invisible needle?"

Nangong Wan was taken aback, looking at the two talismans, feeling a mix of emotions.

When she first entered the sect, Old Monster Qiong was already at the peak of the late Core Formation stage, with the cultivation of a pseudo-Nascent Soul.

She has now reached the Core Formation stage, but Old Monster Qiong still hasn't been able to advance any further.

and.

When cultivators refine talismans, they not only deplete the power of the magical artifacts, but also severely damage their own vital energy, requiring at least several years of recuperation.

If we want to continue refining the magic weapon and restore its lost power, it will take even longer.

Qiong Laoguai made a bet with Li Huayuan and Fuyunzi, and produced three talisman treasures.

This means...

Old Monster Qiong has almost given up cultivation in the last ten years or so!

Only cultivators nearing the end of their lives would do something so selfless and beneficial, leaving more legacy for their descendants.

By doing this, Old Monster Qiong clearly no longer harbors any intention of condensing a Nascent Soul!

"Ugh!"

Fairy Ni Chang sighed heavily and said, "Junior Sister, please put away the talisman."

From now on, please look after your martial uncle's disciples.

Nangong Wan agreed wholeheartedly, and with a flick of her sleeve, she put away the two talismans.

Talismans are also divided into different grades.

The effectiveness of a magic weapon depends on many factors, including its inherent power and the amount of power sealed by the cultivator.

Old Monster Qiong is a fake Nascent Soul cultivator, and his Invisible Needle magic weapon has been refined over hundreds of years, making it extraordinary.

This invisible needle-shaped treasure is something even Core Formation cultivators would envy.

Yellow Maple Valley.

Council Hall.

A Qi Refining stage disciple was recounting the trial to Zhong Lingdao.

"What?"

Zhong Lingdao was extremely surprised and stood up abruptly, exclaiming, "Uncle Li is going to accept them all as nominal disciples?"

Isn't that inappropriate?

Core Formation stage cultivators hold a transcendent status within the sect, and Zhongling Dao never goes against their wishes.

Just like Master Hongfu, who wanted to provide a Foundation Establishment Pill for future generations.

Zhong Lingdao simply did as instructed.

but.

What Li Huayuan is about to do is truly illogical.

Of the twenty-five disciples who participated in the trial, ten survived, along with more than thirty spiritual herbs.

Li Huayuan's intention in accepting them as disciples is quite obvious.

It's all for the sake of obtaining the elixir!

There is a custom in Huangfeng Valley that when a disciple hands over a treasure to the sect, the master can take half of it as a gift for becoming a disciple.

Zhong Lingdao, who was in charge of the sect's mundane affairs, was greatly troubled by this.

"Once this precedent is set, in future trials, the senior master leading the team can take all his disciples under his wing."

"Wouldn't that mean we'd lose half the spiritual herbs we obtained from the sect? How are we supposed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills then?"

Zhong Lingdao felt as if the sky was about to collapse, secretly thinking, "Even this little bit of spiritual medicine is being withheld? Is Uncle Li desperate for money?"

He only dared to think such things in his heart, and would never dare to say them out loud.

His position as sect leader didn't hold much real power; he couldn't oversee the experts at the Core Formation stage.

"Don't worry, the sky won't fall."

A robust old man's voice rang out from outside the main hall.

An elderly man in brocade robes with white hair and beard strode in.

The old man had a sallow complexion, dull eyes, and an extremely ugly appearance; there was really nothing remarkable about him.

But as soon as Zhong Lingdao saw this person, he immediately jumped up to greet him.

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

Chung Ling Tao pays his respects.

This person is none other than the only Nascent Soul stage cultivator in Yellow Maple Valley, Ancestor Linghu!

Linghu Laozu swaggered to the main seat and sat down, saying, "I already know about what happened in the forbidden area."

They are also discussing with fellow Daoists from other sects how to get inside and investigate.

"With our grandmaster involved, this matter should not be difficult to resolve."

Zhong Lingdao gave a subtle but firm compliment.

Linghu Patriarch shook his head, "It's not that simple. The ancient formation in the Crimson Forbidden Land is incredibly powerful."

We old folks don't have any better ideas, we can only give it a try.

Zhong Lingdao remained silent, embarrassed.

"but."

Linghu Patriarch changed the subject, "This turn of events is also a good thing. At least we should all understand that we cannot place all our hopes on the Blood Forbidden Land."

We must find a new source of the elixir!

"Grandmaster's insight is profound!"

Zhong Lingdao immediately agreed.

Linghu Patriarch had clearly made arrangements beforehand: "I will send Wanhe and Junior Nephew Li to search in some places."

Select a few more Foundation Establishment stage disciples to manage affairs; I have other plans.

Zhong Lingdao readily agreed.

"besides."

Linghu Patriarch then remembered something else, "I heard that during the last time the mountain opened and began accepting disciples, they found some outstanding talents?"

Zhong Lingdao presented a list of disciples, saying, "Grandmaster, you are truly a master who has produced many talented individuals and is thriving in our sect."

It's just a pity for that disciple of the Wang family.

Linghu Laozu picked up the roster, glanced at it casually, and said calmly, "There's nothing to regret."

Talented people are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but only a very few can truly rise to prominence; they can only blame their bad luck.

At this time.

Linghu Patriarch paused, pointed to a page in the roster, and asked, "This disciple named Zhang Yi, successfully established his foundation after only half a year of training?"

Zhong Lingdao glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Not bad!"

Junior Brother Zhang's talent for cultivation is truly extraordinary, and he also possesses excellent character and decisiveness.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't dare to take the Foundation Establishment Pill immediately after obtaining it.

"Hmm! You can look after them."

Linghu Laozu casually gave the order.

Zhong Lingdao couldn't help but look on with envy.

"It seems I need to cultivate a better relationship with this Junior Brother Zhang!"

Zhong Lingdao thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Yi had already left the Crimson Forbidden Land and was heading back to the mountain gate.
