Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 114 Success and Liquidation

After an unknown amount of time, a clear and melodious roar pierced the sky atop Tiandu Peak, and the surging spiritual energy suddenly subsided.

It's a success!

Guo Xiaotian successfully broke through and entered the Purple Mansion Realm.

Yu Daoxuan was overjoyed upon hearing the long howl.

The sect was in an uproar, with cheers rising and falling.

Behind Tiandu Peak, a figure in purple robes stood silently outside the cave, none other than the Jade True Taoist who guarded this place.

Upon hearing Guo Xiaotian's excited roar, his tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and a genuine smile appeared in his eyes.

Over the years, the sect has lost two Purple Mansion cultivators in succession, leaving him to support the vast Qingyuan Sect alone. No one knows the hardships he has endured.

Now that Guo Xiaotian has achieved a breakthrough, the sect is no longer struggling alone.

As the joy faded, Master Yuzhen's gaze slowly darkened.

Recalling the covetous eyes of other Purple Mansion forces in recent years, as well as the constant underhanded actions of several affiliated forces under the sect, a faint killing intent flashed through his heart.

After Guo Xiaotian stabilizes his cultivation level, we should find a suitable opportunity to first target a few disloyal subordinate forces, making an example of them.

After saying that, he hurriedly rode away in his escape light.

Yu Daoxuan returned to his cave, still happy for Guo Xiaotian's successful breakthrough.

His Yuzhen lineage possessed two Purple Mansions within the Qingyuan Sect, which greatly increased their influence and control within the sect.

As a result, the status and position of Yu Daoxuan's disciples and grand-disciples will also rise accordingly.

The long-standing decline of the sect was finally halted, greatly reducing its worries.

Yu Daoxuan was also preparing to set off for Icefire Island.

There are two purposes for this trip to Ice and Fire Island.

Firstly, they sought out ancestral treasures left behind by their ancestors.

Secondly, Xuemu Immortal City is adjacent to Icefire Island.

That immortal city was built by Master Mu, the foremost of the three great Golden Core cultivators of the Song Kingdom, and is a sacred place for rogue cultivators in the Song Kingdom.

Cultivators from all directions gathered here, commerce flourished, and rare and precious materials abounded.

He took this opportunity to search for high-level spiritual materials in the immortal city to refine his natal spiritual weapon.

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet my senior brother in Snowmu Immortal City."

Yu Daoxuan thought of Wang Xuanjiao again and thought to himself.

When Wang Xuanjiao expelled himself from his sect, Guo Xiaotian sent him to this sacred land of rogue cultivators.

There, the sect also sent their sixth senior uncle to guard the place, so it could be considered that someone was taking care of them.

Having made up his travel plans, Yu Daoxuan calmed his mind and began cultivating the Supreme Golden Chapter.

The next morning, a message came from outside the cave's protective barrier that Zhou Junyi had come to visit.

Yu Daoxuan was slightly surprised, not expecting the other party to procure the materials so quickly.

They immediately removed the array restrictions and invited the other party inside to take a seat.

Zhou Junyi took out a lot of talisman materials from her storage bag, including more than twenty second-tier talisman papers and three bottles of second-tier low-grade talisman ink.

"Junior Brother Yu, please check if these talisman materials are enough. If not, I will go to the market to buy more."

Yu Daoxuan carefully examined the quality of the talisman paper and ink and confirmed that there was no problem.

He then spoke truthfully: "The materials are barely enough, but my success rate in drawing second-tier talismans is low. I'm afraid I can only refine one or two Gengjin Sword Talismans in the end."

"It's alright. As long as you can refine one, it will be enough to deal with that Shadow Leopard." Zhou Junyi smiled slightly, then handed over a storage bag. "This is your reward for making the talisman, Junior Brother."

Yu Daoxuan pushed the storage bag back and did not accept it.

Zhou Junyi was his fellow disciple, and she had always taken care of him. They had a deep friendship, so how could he accept payment?

Zhou Junyi declined several times without success, and had no choice but to take back the storage bag, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

This amount of spirit stones wasn't much to her.

Yu Daoxuan insisted on not taking it, which shows that the other party valued loyalty and righteousness and was by no means a heartless and ungrateful person.

They agreed that Zhou Junyi would pick it up in ten days, and Zhou Junyi thanked her again before leaving.

After the other party left, Yu Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the bed and adjusted his own state.

Then he walked to the stone table, spread out the talisman paper, and mixed the talisman ink.

Next, he summoned the Mysterious Pearl and focused his mind to draw the Geng Metal Sword Talisman.

Several hours passed, and he drew six pictures, two of which were successful.

"The success rate of obtaining the runes has improved."

Yu Daoxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the two Gengjin sword talismans that shimmered with sharp golden light, and said with delight.

Previously, he would often have to draw more than ten pictures before he could successfully draw one.

With two out of six attempts succeeding, that's a 30% success rate, which makes me a qualified second-tier low-grade talisman master.

Over the next few days, Yu Daoxuan finished drawing all the remaining dozen or so blank talismans.

In the end, five Gengjin sword talismans were drawn.

He planned to give Zhou Junyi two cards, and keep the rest for himself.

In a few days, we will set off for Icefire Island. The journey is long and the sea is fraught with danger.

Having several second-tier talismans on hand will provide extra protection for your safety.

On the appointed day, Zhou Junyi arrived as scheduled.

Seeing Yu Daoxuan take out two Gengjin sword talismans, he was overjoyed.

She had originally thought that one copy would be enough.

"Thank you, junior brother. If you ever need anything from me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Zhou Junyi said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, junior brother does have a favor to ask of senior sister."

Yu Daoxuan said directly.

This time, helping Zhou Junyi draw talismans will not only give me some materials, but also allow me to hone my talisman-drawing skills.

Therefore, he needs Zhou Junyi's help to promote the project so that those who need it can come to him for talisman drawing.

Zhou Junyi readily agreed to this small favor.

After seeing Zhou Junyi off, Yu Daoxuan also received a piece of information from her.

After Guo Xiaotian's breakthrough, he still needs some time to consolidate his cultivation.

Therefore, his Purple Mansion Grand Ceremony and the Battle of the Five Sons of Qingyuan were held one after the other.

The date was set for the winter solstice, more than ten months from now.

That's why the sect's rewards this time are so generous.

Those selected as the Five Prodigies of Qingyuan will be rewarded with a drop of 300-year-old Cangming Secret Water.

"Three-hundred-year-old Cangming Secret Water!"

Yu Daoxuan murmured softly, his heart stirred.

This item is far more effective than the two-hundred-year-old Cangming Secret Water he had previously exchanged.

"After consuming the Heaven-Mending Pill and two hundred years of Cangming Secret Water, my cultivation aptitude has improved, far surpassing that of those with superior spiritual roots."

"With this 300-year-old Cangming Secret Water, one's cultivation speed should be close to that of a cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root."

"There are still more than ten months left. If I can obtain some fortuitous treasures on Icefire Island or Snowmu Immortal City to enhance my cultivation, then I can participate in the battle for the Five Sons of Qingyuan."

Yu Daoxuan never takes unnecessary risks, but spiritual objects that can improve one's aptitude are rare and hard to come by, so he must seize the opportunity.

Unlike the Blood Python Fruit, which only has a temporary effect, these spiritual objects have a continuous impact.

With a little more talent, one can cultivate faster.

Therefore, the risk of revealing some of one's trump cards in the battle for control is worthwhile compared to the potential gains.

The next day, Yu Daoxuan went to the Inner Affairs Hall to report his whereabouts and unexpectedly encountered Xu Runshan.

A year ago, he asked Chen Hu to buy a Bi Ning Dan in Yulongfang Market and give it to him.

After taking it, Xu Runshan broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

After a conversation, Yu Daoxuan learned that he had taken on a mission to patrol the border island, just like Zheng Bao had done before.

However, the border island is located on the edge of the sect's territory, making it even more dangerous, as it is frequently haunted by treacherous cultivators and demon cultivators.

Seeing this, Yu Daoxuan took out a Golden Light Talisman and a Swift Travel Talisman and handed them to the other party.

Although the Blood Refining Hall of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was severely weakened in a battle several years ago, its core members are still alive and may cause trouble in the future.

Therefore, he gave Xu Runshan two first-grade high-quality talismans for self-defense.
