Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 109 Dao Xuan, Do You Want a Daoist Partner?

Two and a half years later.

In the cave dwelling on Donglai Peak, Yu Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind calm, constantly drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to his meridians, slowly refining it into true essence and magical power in his dantian.

It wasn't until after noon, when his body was full of magical power and his spirit was high, that he slowly finished his practice and exhaled a long breath.

After more than two years of arduous training, he had already completely stabilized his cultivation and truly possessed the combat power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

All the tools they used were of the spiritual level, and all the techniques they cultivated were of the second rank or above. Their strength was already far beyond what it used to be.

Getting up and leaving the cave, Yu Daoxuan headed towards Xuanxin Cave, where Qi Donglou resided.

The other party returned from a voyage a few days ago and sent him a message last night, asking him to come to Xuanxin Cave after he leaves the pass.

"I suppose it's something important?"

He thought to himself, and soon arrived at the Xuanxin Cave.

Inside the cave, Qi Donglou and his wife Yin Xiuxiu were seated together.

After Yu Daoxuan stepped forward and bowed, Yin Xiuxiu spoke first with a smile in her eyes.

"Dao Xuan, do you want a Daoist partner?"

"ah!?"

Yu Daoxuan was slightly taken aback, staring at Yin Xiuxiu in astonishment, unable to react for a moment.

Yin Xiuxiu smiled faintly and continued, "Has Daoxuan heard of the four beautiful women of the Cui family in your sect?"

I've heard a little about it.

Yu Daoxuan understood a little better.

The Cui family is the lineage of the late, deceased ancestor Cui.

The so-called "Four Golden Flowers of the Cui Family" refers to four beautiful and talented young female cultivators from the Cui family, who are quite famous within the sect.

However, two of the beauties had already married.

"Someone from the Cui family contacted me and asked me to ask if you would be willing to marry. They are willing to give you one of their daughters in marriage."

Yu Daoxuan pondered for a moment, then solemnly replied, "Master's wife, the cultivation world is ever-changing and unpredictable. Foundation Establishment cultivators have only just gained a foothold, while only Purple Mansion True Cultivators have the means to secure their lives. I am single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and have no time to consider personal matters. I plan to consider marriage only after I reach the Purple Mansion."

"Dao Xuan, your thinking is rather biased. Your master's wife and I started cultivating together as early as the Qi Refining stage, and now we've both reached the late Foundation Establishment stage or higher. Having a Daoist partner to support each other is often far better than being alone."

Qi Donglou, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

"Yes, the Cui family is the most powerful family in our sect. They said that if you agree to this marriage, they will do their best to train you to become a second-tier low-grade talisman master as soon as possible. In that case, your future path will be much smoother."

"Uh~"

Yu Daoxuan was quite surprised to see Qi Donglou and his wife trying to persuade him together.

Unexpectedly, the two were so enthusiastic about bringing this together.

However, it was not appropriate to inquire about the details, nor was it appropriate to directly refuse the two elders.

He could only reply tactfully, "This matter is of great importance; please allow me to consider it carefully."

Qi Donglou nodded: "Very well, your master's wife and I will not force you. Let's find an opportunity to meet each other first, spend some time together, and if we get along well, we can discuss the next steps later."

After leaving Xuanxin Cave, Yu Daoxuan did not take the marriage alliance to heart and went straight to the Sutra Repository.

The first level of the Wind and Thunder Steps that he had previously practiced was taught to him by Tie Ting.

The cultivation methods for the second and third levels can only be viewed after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

This is also a way for cultivation sects to prevent outsiders from obtaining their sect's cultivation techniques.

This movement technique is of great help in combat, so he plans to master it.

The Qingyuan Sect stipulates that newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators do not need to complete tasks for the first three years.

Therefore, he still has six months of free time to cultivate.

"Oh, it's 'Fairy of the Wondrous Moon,' Yu Nanyan."

On his way there, he saw a graceful figure heading towards the Scripture Pavilion.

Years have passed, and he no longer has the same thoughts he had when he first met the other person.

Therefore, he did not step forward to offer a ride, but simply nodded in greeting from afar.

The other party remained aloof and ethereal, giving him a brief glance before entering the Scripture Pavilion, despite his Foundation Establishment cultivation.

With a clear goal in mind, Yu Daoxuan headed straight for the fourth floor of the pavilion.

The Wind and Thunder Steps were not a sect's most treasured technique; he found the Wind and Thunder Steps in the spell section on the fourth floor.

The second level of the Wind and Thunder Step greatly increases speed; once mastered, one can travel a hundred feet in an instant.

Upon reaching the third level, one can travel several miles in a single step, becoming invisible and intangible, capable of large-scale teleportation.

With extreme speed, one can dodge attacks from those who are a level above oneself.

"Huh? A technique that can dodge attacks from someone a level higher than oneself—shouldn't that be a sect's most powerful technique?"

After browsing through the introduction to this method, Yu Daoxuan couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

The realm above oneself mentioned in the jade slip does not refer to minor realms like the early or middle stages of Foundation Establishment, but rather to a major realm like the Purple Mansion realm.

According to the book, after mastering the third level, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he would be able to evade attacks from Purple Mansion cultivators.

Even when used at full power, this mysterious ability is still quite extraordinary.

It's strange that Qingyuan Sect didn't treat it as their sect's most important technique.

"Is there some kind of restriction?"

The sect's techniques can only be seen in the initial introduction, so the full content cannot be viewed.

"The power of the third level of the Wind and Thunder Step is extraordinary, but the conditions for mastering it are extremely demanding, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot achieve it."

""

Just as he was wondering, a clear and melodious voice came from the side.

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Daoxuan looked over and saw Yu Nanyan, whom he had just seen.

"Could it be that Senior Sister Yu also practices the Wind and Thunder Steps?"

Yu Daoxuan asked.

The once unreachable Martial Uncle Yu is now the Martial Sister Yu right in front of me.

But he was also surprised that the other person, who was usually aloof and arrogant, would suddenly speak at this moment.

Yu Nanyan nodded slightly and said softly, "The later part of this method records the conditions for the third level of cultivation, which are extremely difficult to achieve."

"This third level requires comprehending the true meaning of wind and thunder; otherwise, one will remain stuck at the second level for their entire life. Furthermore, the ability to evade attacks from those who are a whole realm higher than oneself is only effective against those below the Golden Core realm."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion, Senior Sister Yu."

Yu Daoxuan expressed his gratitude, understanding the other party's good intentions.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if the other person was also stuck on the second level.

"There's no need to be so polite. After all, I'm also struggling with this method and haven't made any progress."

After Yu Nanyan finished speaking, she turned and left.

Watching the other person's graceful figure gradually disappear, Yu Daoxuan picked up the jade slip containing the complete text of the Wind and Thunder Steps.

Next, he chose a secret technique called "True Fire Transformation".

To exchange for the complete manual of Wind and Thunder Steps and the True Fire Transformation, cultivators in the sect need a total of three thousand merit points.

However, newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators can choose two spellbooks for free, so even someone with insufficient merit can still cultivate them.

Upon returning to his cave, Yu Daoxuan immediately began to study the two cultivation techniques.

After mastering the secret technique of True Fire Transformation, one can precisely control one's own True Fire to transform into various flame shapes, such as dragons, phoenixes, tigers, leopards, weapons, flowers, and plants, which greatly enhances the power of the Primordial Mystic Fire.

At the same time, a delicate, angry voice came from inside a cave dwelling of the Cui family.

"Why me?"
