Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words
Chapter 16 A Triumphant Return
Five days later.
The sky was clear and blue, and the clouds drifted lazily by.
Three spirit ships sailed side by side on the vast and boundless sea.
Below lies the vast, boundless blue sea, where the horizon meets the sea, and the endless expanse of turquoise waves stretches to the very end of the field of vision.
Standing on the deck of the spirit ship, Yu Daoxuan looked down at the vast and magnificent sea below, and his heart suddenly felt lighter, giving rise to a sense of freedom and ease.
For Yu Daoxuan, this trip to the hidden realm of Misty Island was a fruitful one, with the gains far exceeding his expectations.
He successfully obtained the inheritance of the Supreme True Man, acquiring the superior cultivation technique "Supreme Golden Chapter" that allows one to cultivate directly to the Core Formation stage, as well as the rare treasure Mysterious Pearl.
The Mysterious Pearl can help one concentrate and comprehend the Dao, thus increasing the speed of cultivation. It is especially effective when breaking through bottlenecks in one's cultivation level, and it can solve the biggest obstacle to his future progress in cultivation.
In addition, following the last words of the golden tablet, he obtained the Moon Shell that had been stolen by the Green Serpent, confiscated the storage bag of the Green Serpent and the yellow-faced cultivator from Pingsha Island, as well as the corpse of a second-tier demon eagle, and reaped a great harvest.
With these opportunities, their path to immortality will be much smoother.
However, both the Taiyuan Inheritance and the Bright Moon Shell are treasures that are coveted by Foundation Establishment cultivators. If they are leaked, they could very likely lead to death.
Therefore, from beginning to end, he did not reveal the slightest abnormality.
Now that Yu Daoxuan had obtained the Moon Shell, He Yiming and the others naturally searched for it in vain.
Therefore, after searching for several days on Misty Island, he led his disciples back.
However, on their return journey, the group did not go straight back to Qingyuan Sect, but instead sped towards the Jade Dragon Island market.
Jade Dragon Island Market is the largest market in the cultivation world of Nanming Continent, jointly governed by six major Purple Mansion-level cultivation forces, including Qingyuan Sect and White Whale Island.
It is located on the edge of the Sky-Piercing Mist Sea, just like Fog Island, but the two places are nearly two thousand miles apart.
The special detour was to deliver the monsters they hunted and the spiritual herbs they gathered on Misty Island to shops under the Qingyuan Sect for sale.
Most of the fellow disciples gained something from their trip to Misty Island.
Among them, Song Yunshu was quite lucky, unexpectedly obtaining a spirit bird chick during her search.
The cub was pure white, chirping and chattering, and full of intelligence.
Seeing the spirit beast in Song Yunshu's hand, Yu Daoxuan felt a pang of envy.
The Spirit Sparrow is a high-grade bloodline demon beast, born with the talent to identify spiritual herbs and explore spiritual treasure lands. It is an excellent helper for cultivators and is extremely popular in the cultivation world.
Therefore, Song Yunshu's acquisition of this sparrow was like adding wings to a tiger.
The spirit ship pierced the sky, speeding along.
When Yu Daoxuan and his party arrived at Yulong Island Market, it was already the morning of the second day, and the eastern sky was beginning to lighten.
As dawn broke, the entire island market was bathed in a hazy yet dazzling light.
Yulong Island Market is built along Yulong Mountain on the island, with buildings and palaces arranged in a well-organized manner.
Yu Daoxuan and his group first went to the "Baoguang Pavilion" under the Qingyuan Sect.
Baoguang Pavilion is the core shop of Qingyuan Sect in the market of Yulong Island, specializing in the acquisition of various cultivation resources.
After counting, Yu Daoxuan, Song Yunshu, and Hong Yongning each received more than two hundred spirit stones, which was a small gain.
Of course, this does not include those Blood Python Fruits.
Such spiritual fruits that enhance magical power are naturally kept for one's own use.
After days of travel and stress, many people wanted to take this opportunity to purchase supplies needed for their spiritual practice at the market.
After discussing for a while, He Yiming and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators decided to stay here for three days to give everyone ample time to rest and make purchases.
The Qingyuan Sect is a top power in the Southern Sea Continent, with three Purple Mansion True Cultivators under its command. Its overall strength ranks first in the Southern Sea Continent, and it occupies a 30% share in the Jade Dragon Island market.
The sect has thirteen shops, one restaurant, and a special inn for cultivators to live and cultivate in the market.
The Immortal Inn is located on Jade Dragon Mountain. Each inn consists of an independent, elegant courtyard, with a spirit-gathering array inside, making the concentration of spiritual energy far exceed that of other places in the market.
Furthermore, members of our sect can enjoy significant discounts when staying here, which is why all the fellow disciples have chosen to stay here temporarily.
Yu Daoxuan found a secluded courtyard, pushed open the door, and immediately activated his built-in defensive formation.
He then sat cross-legged on a futon in the room, preparing to investigate the specific effects of the Mysterious Female Pearl.
He concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit, immersing himself in the sea of consciousness, and his thoughts stirred the mysterious pearl.
In an instant, the Mysterious Female Pearl suddenly lit up, and a soft yet incomparably pure halo emanated from the pearl, instantly enveloping the entire sea of consciousness and then spreading throughout the whole body.
Yu Daoxuan felt his consciousness become incredibly clear, experiencing a sense of oneness with heaven and man, and everything around him was clearly perceptible.
Even the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air, and the flow of magical power in every meridian of the body, seemed to be right before one's eyes.
He was overjoyed and immediately activated the sect's secret technique.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force, flowing into the body like a stream, its circulation speed several times faster than before.
After cultivating diligently for nearly half an hour, Yu Daoxuan gradually felt dizzy and realized that he had exhausted his mental energy, so he slowly stopped.
After finishing his practice, Yu Daoxuan took out two storage bags and a spirit beast bag from his person.
He first opened the gray storage bag of the yellow-faced cultivator from Pingsha Island, dumped it on the ground, and immediately a pile of items fell to the ground in a mess.
At a glance, there were four magical artifacts on the ground.
The highest quality items were the white jade crystal ring and the cyan throwing knife that the opponent had used.
In addition, one of the dark purple needle-shaped ritual implements, about two fingers long, belongs to the category of female implements.
The needle-shaped weapon is specifically designed to break through all kinds of magical robes and shields; it is insidious, ruthless, incredibly fast, and silent.
Moreover, at the tip of the needle, there was a patch of pitch-black ink, which must have contained some kind of poison.
The other two items were ordinary mid-grade magic artifacts, currently useless to him, and he could only sell them for spirit stones at the market.
There were also more than two hundred spirit stones and several bottles of pills on the ground.
Yu Daoxuan carefully examined each of the pills in the jade bottles.
Only after confirming that each pill was a first-tier spiritual pill that could enhance cultivation and heal injuries and replenish blood did he feel at ease putting it into his bag.
Then, he opened the green snake's blue storage bag.
The bag contained several pill bottles, all filled with second-tier pills that could improve cultivation and restore mana, suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to consume.
There was a small pile of spirit stones next to it.
Yu Daoxuan roughly counted them and found a total of more than 1,300 low-grade spirit stones and 12 mid-grade spirit stones.
Then came the opponent's two low-grade spiritual artifacts.
The first item is a jade-splitting shuttle, over a foot long, with its entire body golden in color, giving it a sharp, golden sheen.
The other item is the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier, a palm-sized jade barrier with dark patterns, a magical artifact that combines offense and defense.
However, it had previously withstood a combined attack from five Foundation Establishment cultivators, including He Yiming, by the lake, leaving the barrier covered in cracks that needed repair before it could be used again.
Yu Daoxuan lightly touched the crack in the jade screen with his fingertip, his expression calm.
The Jade-Splitting Shuttle is a metal-elemental spiritual weapon. It is powerful in attack and is intact, so it can be used for future refinement.
The cost of repairing the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier is considerable, requiring a second-tier weapon refiner. Therefore, it must be temporarily sealed away for future consideration.
After taking stock, Yu Daoxuan's gaze fell on the dazzling array of spoils in the storage bag, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
"These spoils are worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones."
"What people say is true: no one can get rich without unexpected wealth."
However, he only sighed slightly and did not have any intention of becoming a robber or plundering.
The path of cultivation through tribulation may seem to offer a quick way to acquire wealth, but in reality, it's like playing with fire; sooner or later, one will inevitably stumble and fall.
This is completely different from his steady approach to cultivation and his step-by-step strategy.
They would never embark on this path of no return for the sake of short-term gains.
After sorting through the spoils, it was almost midnight.
Before long, the gilded ancient stele in his mind appeared as expected.
"My name is Yu Daoxuan. By the time you see this, it will be too late for regrets. My friend Song Yunshu invited me to stroll through the market. In Yulong Square, I encountered a rogue cultivator selling demon beast eggs. Among the demon eggs he was selling was a 'Ghost King Spider Egg' with a mutated bloodline. Its bloodline strength was comparable to a low-grade bloodline, but because I knew very little about demon beasts, I failed to recognize its extraordinary nature, causing me to miss this opportunity. I regret it deeply whenever I think about it afterward."
"A mutated, low-grade bloodline monster?!"
Upon seeing this last message, Yu Daoxuan's eyes widened in surprise, overwhelmed with joy.
He had previously envied Song Yunshu for obtaining a high-grade bloodline demon beast, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he would possess a mutated earth-grade bloodline demon beast.
Earth-grade bloodline demon beasts are comparable to Earth-grade spiritual roots among human cultivators, with limitless growth potential. In the future, they may even break through to the fourth rank, comparable to human Core Formation cultivators.
It should be noted that within the Song Kingdom, the highest level of cultivation is that of a Core Formation cultivator.
If he could cultivate this Ghost King Spider to the fourth rank in the future, he could become a big shot in the cultivation world of Song Kingdom, whose every move could stir up a storm.
Upon realizing this, Yu Daoxuan's heart surged with emotion, and he wished he could rush to Yulong Square to keep watch immediately.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down.
The last words of the Golden Stele are never false. Since the last words indicate that we will meet again tomorrow, there will be no change. There is no need to rush.
Suppressing his excitement, he closed his eyes again and focused his mind on comprehending the "Supreme Golden Chapter".
The Yuan Yang Technique he is currently cultivating is only the basic technique of the Qingyuan Sect. Once his cultivation reaches the late stage of Qi Refining and he is promoted to an inner disciple, he can formally switch to cultivating the sect's signature technique.
In the Song Kingdom, superior cultivation techniques are extremely rare, and all major sects regard them as treasures, never easily passing them on to outsiders.
The Qingyuan Sect's most powerful cultivation techniques can only be cultivated up to the Purple Mansion realm, which is the root cause of the Qingyuan Sect's difficulty in producing Core Formation cultivators for many years.
Those Core Formation spiritual objects are almost entirely controlled by the five major Golden Core forces in the Song Kingdom. Cultivators from other sects have no way to get their hands on them without special opportunities.
This shows just how precious the "Supreme Golden Chapter" is, a superior cultivation method that allows one to directly reach the Core Formation stage.
Not only does it contain complete secret methods for forming the Golden Core, but even without a Golden Core-forming spiritual object, one can still attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage using these secret methods.
This alone makes it far superior to the sect's most powerful techniques.
What's even more remarkable is that the "Supreme Golden Chapter" contains the mysteries of the Five Elements, and cultivators can practice it regardless of what kind of Five Elements spiritual root they possess.
Yu Daoxuan possessed spiritual roots encompassing all five elements, making him a perfect match for this cultivation technique.
However, this method is profound in its conception and difficult to understand.
Even the content of the Qi Refining Chapter requires him to ponder it word by word and sentence by sentence repeatedly in order to comprehend its true meaning.
Time flowed slowly as I pondered, and before I knew it, dawn was breaking.
Just as Chen Shi (7-9 AM) arrived, a soft knock came from outside the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, Song Yunshu's clear voice entered the courtyard.
"Brother Yu, are you in your room?"
"I'm planning to go to the market to buy some cultivation materials. Would you have time to go with me?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan, who was inside the cave, smiled slightly, for the opportunity had indeed arrived as expected.
