Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

With a loud splash, a wave ten feet high suddenly surged up from the swamp.

A several-meter-long armored crocodile suddenly leaped out from the depths, its gaping maw full of fangs, carrying a thick stench of blood, and shot several water arrows at the three of them.

This crocodile is covered in thick scales and has a fierce aura. It possesses the strength of a late-stage first-tier cultivator, comparable to a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Yu Daoxuan reacted extremely quickly, instantly activating the Silver Shield to steadily block the crocodile's water arrow attack.

At the same time, he unleashed his Crimson Fire Sword and slashed fiercely at the demon crocodile.

This crocodile is only at the late stage of the first tier; the three of them working together are enough to defeat it.

Therefore, the moment Yu Daoxuan made his move, Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning also simultaneously summoned their flying swords and slashed at the demon crocodile.

Several crisp clangs were heard, like metal clashing.

The three men's flying swords struck the crocodile, but failed to break through its defenses as expected, leaving only a shallow sword mark without drawing a drop of blood.

The armored crocodile has thick, tough skin and a body covered in scales that provide extremely strong defense, making it difficult for ordinary flying swords and magical artifacts to penetrate.

However, Hong Yongning's flying sword was a high-grade magic weapon, and when it struck the demon crocodile, it caused it great pain.

The excruciating pain in his body completely enraged the armored crocodile.

It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a large amount of dark green venom.

It also emits a strong toxic gas that causes instant dizziness upon smelling.

"Take the antidote immediately!"

Yu Daoxuan offered a reminder, and while using his Wind Control Technique to teleport, he quickly took out an antidote pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

Before setting off, they each prepared a bottle of antidote pills in order to deal with this kind of poisonous gas.

Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning reacted quickly, immediately taking out antidote pills and swallowing them.

A moment later, I felt a cool sensation flow through my whole body, and the dizziness immediately disappeared.

Just then, the armored crocodile opened its bloody jaws again and lunged at the three of them with an incomparably fierce aura.

Yu Daoxuan often visited the Sutra Repository to look through various books, and he knew that to deal with such a powerful monster, one had to attack its weaknesses.

So while moving around defensively, he said to Song Yunshu and the other person, "The armored crocodile has thick skin and flesh, so attack its eyes."

Song Yunshu and the other nodded, and together they mounted their flying swords and stabbed towards the eyes of the armored crocodile.

However, the armored crocodile is not made of wood, and naturally it will not allow the three of them to hit its eyes so easily.

For a time, the three fought to no avail.

During the battle, Yu Daoxuan attacked with his sword while pondering how to defeat the enemy.

The opponent's defense is extremely strong, with only the eyes and abdomen being considered weak points. If there is a way to immobilize the opponent for a moment, victory can be achieved.

Before long, a solution came to mind.

His voice told Song Yunshu and the other person to hold on, while he prepared to unleash several freezing talismans.

Upon hearing that it was a good idea, Song Yunshu and the other person immediately used all their magical power to resist the armored crocodile's attack.

Yu Daoxuan quickly took out the Freezing Talisman from his storage bag and activated it with his magic power.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the freezing talisman transformed into several wisps of icy mist, which whistled towards the armored crocodile, instantly freezing its entire body.

"Now, attack its eyes."

Yu Daoxuan knew that these first-grade mid-level freezing talismans could only trap this demon for a few breaths, so he hurriedly shouted.

Upon seeing this, Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning immediately channeled their magic power into their flying swords. The two flying swords, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, pierced straight into the eyes of the armored crocodile.

The armored crocodile knew it was in grave danger and tried to break free of the icy restraints.

But as soon as he managed to get away, two flying swords were already in front of him, leaving him no time to dodge.

With two soft "whoosh" sounds, the flying sword shattered the ice, pierced the eyelid, and sank deep into the eyeball.

Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning simultaneously twisted their flying swords together, causing the armored crocodile to shudder violently and let out a miserable howl.

He then fell heavily to the ground with a thud, convulsing uncontrollably.

Yu Daoxuan did not rush forward, but cautiously used the Crimson Fire Sword to deliver several more blows to his body.

Only after confirming that it had completely stopped breathing did I feel a little relieved.

Hong Yongning, who was standing to the side, took in the whole scene and thought to himself that he had never expected his young junior brother to be so calm and cautious.

However, in this perilous world of cultivation, only by always maintaining a cautious mind can one go further and more steadily on the long path of cultivation.

"The smell of the armored crocodile's blood might attract other monsters. Let's deal with it quickly and find a safer place to recover our magic power."

Song Yunshu, being meticulous, immediately offered a reminder.

The armored crocodile's scales are as hard as refined iron, making them its most valuable treasure.

Yu Daoxuan and Song Yunshu were always frugal in their daily cultivation, so they naturally wouldn't waste a single resource. They put all the crocodile meat, bones, and tendons into their storage bags.

After peeling off the skin and removing the tendons, all three showed joy on their faces.

This late-stage Tier 1 armored crocodile is worth five or six hundred spirit stones. If the three of them split it equally, each of them can get more than a hundred spirit stones, which is quite a good gain.

The three dared not linger and traveled several miles to find a secluded cave, where they sat cross-legged to recover their magical power.

Only after their magical powers were fully restored did they set off again to continue the search.

For the next period of time, Yu Daoxuan and his group did not encounter any major dangers.

As time passed, darkness gradually fell.

Night fell over the mountains and forests, and a chilling wind blew from all sides, making it several times more dangerous than during the day.

If a cultivator is at the late stage of Qi Refining, they can project their divine sense outwards, and they are almost unaffected by the weather.

However, all three of them were at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and their divine sense could not be released. Under such circumstances, it would be too dangerous to search the mountain overnight.

The three exchanged glances and decided to find a safe place to rest for the time being, and continue their search at dawn.

Of the hundreds of sect disciples who came to Misty Island this time, apart from a few who were solely focused on obtaining the bounty, almost all the others shared this thought.

Seeing that everyone was in the same boat, He Yiming, who was leading the team, had no choice but to acquiesce, even though he was eager to find the Moon Shell.

The next day, as dawn broke, morning mist blanketed the mountains and fields.

Yu Daoxuan took out a topographical map of Misty Island and examined it carefully. After identifying the location and route, he led Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning to head northeast.

The place of opportunity mentioned in the golden tablet's last words is in this direction.

The deeper they searched, the more medicinal herbs they encountered.

Along the way, the three of them collected about ten medicinal herbs.

Although they are not particularly rare, they are still worth two or three hundred spirit stones when put together.

This is precisely why many outer disciples are willing to risk danger to come to Misty Island.

In normal times, without the support of Foundation Establishment cultivators from their sect, they would never dare to venture so deep.

Song Yunshu and Hong Yongning shared the same thought; otherwise, they wouldn't have come for a mere ten spirit stones.

Halfway through the journey, a deep, misty valley appeared ahead.

The valley was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern the path ahead.

As we approached the valley entrance, we faintly caught a whiff of a delicate, unique, and rich fragrance.

The three exchanged a glance, followed the fragrance, and slowly walked into the valley. Their eyes swept around and their eyes lit up.

Ahead, on a steep, sheer rock face, entwined a blood vine that was entirely crimson.

The vines were as thick as bowls, winding and twisting like giant pythons, with more than ten crimson spiritual fruits the size of longans hanging on them, each one round and plump, with a bright color, clearly ripe.

"Blood Python Fruit!"

Song Yunshu's gaze sharpened, her tone revealing undisguised surprise.

As a mid-grade first-level alchemist, she was very familiar with all kinds of spiritual fruits and recognized the origin of this particular spiritual fruit at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan and Hong Yongning, who were standing nearby, immediately showed joy on their faces, and their eyes flashed with a burning light.

As cultivators, it is essential to have knowledge of various rare and precious materials.

The Blood Python Fruit has remarkable effects, nourishing the body and replenishing vital energy, and enhancing magical power.

For these Qi Refining cultivators, taking one pill is equivalent to more than half a year of arduous cultivation, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

Hong Yongning was the most impatient of them all. The moment he had an idea, he was about to leap forward to pick the fruit.

But Yu Daoxuan grabbed the other's arm and whispered, "Senior Brother Hong, don't be anxious, be careful, there may be danger in the valley."

Hong Yongning was startled and immediately stopped in his tracks.

In the deep mountains and forests, there is a high chance that there are demonic beasts guarding the vicinity of spiritual fruits and herbs.

After searching for a while and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Yu Daoxuan and his two companions carefully picked and stored all the Blood Python Fruits.

But just as the spiritual fruit was picked, a soft rustling sound suddenly came from the ground around them.

Countless blood jade bees, their bodies entirely crimson, surged out from a crevice in the rock, densely packed, like a crimson torrent, exuding a fierce aura.

"Everyone, split up and escape!"

Upon seeing this, the three men's expressions changed drastically, and they each activated their movement techniques to escape with all their might.

Although the Blood Jade Bees in front of them were only at the first level, they were known for their ferocity and fearlessness. Therefore, when ordinary Qi Refining cultivators encountered a swarm of bees, their only option was to flee.

Yu Daoxuan reacted the fastest, raising his hand and shooting out several mid-grade first-level fire serpent talismans in succession. The raging flames transformed into several fire serpents that roared out and blocked the swarm of bees' attack.

Immediately afterward, he quickly took out a mid-grade first-level Divine Speed ​​Talisman and crushed it.

The power of the runes instantly swept over his body, and his figure suddenly became as light as the wind, allowing him to escape quickly.
