Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Back in the courtyard of the Immortal Inn, Yu Daoxuan took out a pill bottle and poured it into his palm.

A round, flawless, deep blue pill, about the size of a longan, gently fell into the palm of the hand.

The pill had a warm, lustrous color, with a faint bluish sheen on its surface. A rich yet refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out, instantly filling the entire room.

Just a light sniff is enough to invigorate the mind and sweep away the fatigue of the past few days.

This item is the Profound Essence Breakthrough Pill that Yu Daoxuan just bought at the auction.

Yu Daoxuan spent most of his fortune to buy this pill.

It was originally intended to be used when breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, after hearing the news of the pioneering work brought by his senior brother Wang Xuanjiao, he prepared to use it today.

If the Feathered Ascension Sect were to truly embark on a new era, the entire cultivation realm of the Southern Sea Continent would inevitably be thrown into turmoil. Therefore, improving one's own strength in a timely manner is the right solution.

With this elixir, he could save at least three or four years of arduous cultivation and directly break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, this pill is most effective the first time it is taken; subsequent uses are much less effective and it no longer has the effect of breaking through the cultivation level.

However, he was not in a hurry to achieve results.

He knew that although the elixir was powerful, it was necessary to be in the best physical and mental state when taking it in order to achieve its maximum effect.

On the bed, Yu Daoxuan closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind focused, gradually entering a state of complete absorption in the world.

Only swallow it in one gulp when your whole body is in optimal condition.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and a torrent of pure and immense medicinal power flows through the body's meridians to every part of the body.

The Xuan Ying Breakthrough Pill was incredibly powerful, like a raging river rushing into the sea, as if it had washed over my entire body.

After taking the elixir, he immediately began to perform hand seals and circulate the "Supreme Golden Chapter," controlling the immense medicinal power within his body to flow through his meridians for several cycles.

As time slowly passed, the lake of magical power in his dantian gradually became full and complete.

Yu Daoxuan then channeled his magical power to break through the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The power of the pills transformed into primordial magical power, which, under his control, continuously surged towards the invisible barrier.

Click!

As if a bottleneck had been broken, Yu Daoxuan's spiritual energy surged, and his previously stagnant magical power suddenly increased again.

Several hours later, he slowly finished his practice and happily opened his eyes.

After his cultivation breakthrough, his internal magical power increased rapidly, reaching about 30-40% before gradually stabilizing.

Reaching the seventh to eighth level of Qi Refining is not considered a breakthrough in cultivation; the increase in magical power is only about 30% to 40%.

However, only when breaking through from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi Refining, or from the middle stage to the late stage, will one's magical power increase by one or two times.

"Twenty-six years old, Qi Refining Level 8."

Yu Daoxuan smiled faintly and did not stop circulating his cultivation technique.

Instead, he continued to circulate the Great Circulation again and again, transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into streams of magical power that sank into his dantian.

He only stopped cultivating after his newly broken-through realm stabilized.

I opened my eyes and saw that the sky outside was gradually turning white.

At this moment, his divine sense spread outwards like a tide, easily covering a radius of 130 feet, surpassing that of an ordinary Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator.

Yu Daoxuan smiled and used the sect's concealment technique to reduce his cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This technique is a required skill for inner disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, and almost everyone knows it.

However, when residing in a sect, there is no need to deliberately conceal it.

Now, in the chaotic Jade Dragon Market, where cultivators from all sides gather, concealing one's abilities and keeping a low profile is the best way to protect oneself.

Therefore, he deliberately suppressed his true cultivation level and did not reveal his strength.

Then, he got up and walked to the entrance of the cave.

Above the array formation of the cave dwelling, two communication talismans floated.

The first talisman they retrieved was passed down by Chu Linyuan.

Having completed all matters concerning the Yanmingfang Association, they set off early this morning to train at the edge of the Tongtian Mist Sea.

After their chance encounter at Tianxin Villa that day, the two met again, drank and discussed philosophy, and their friendship remained as strong as ever.

He took out the second one, and with the release of his magic power, the deep voice of the eldest brother, Wang Xuanjiao, came from it.

It turns out that Wang Xuanjiao received a message from a friend this morning asking for help, and had already left the market, leaving only a talisman to tell him that they would meet again when he returned to the sect.

Since the other party had already left, Yu Daoxuan did not reply. Instead, he left the cave and went to Tianxin Villa again.

When the previous trade fair concluded, Wan Guicang publicly stated that a small trade fair would be held at Tianxin Villa the day after the auction, allowing fellow cultivators to exchange spiritual items.

The Moonlit Spirit Shield being crafted by the Fire Cauldron Pavilion will take another month to complete, and they will be unable to return to their sect in the short term. With nothing else to do, they might as well go to this trade fair to try their luck.

He has now reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and it's time for him to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Most ordinary Qi Refining cultivators rely on Foundation Establishment Pills or various auxiliary spiritual items to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Just like Wang Xuanjiao, even though he possessed a superior spiritual root, he was carefully taught by Qi Donglou from a young age.

Back when I was building my foundation, I still needed the assistance of a foundation-building spiritual object to make a steady breakthrough.

Yu Daoxuan mainly cultivated the "Supreme Golden Chapter," a method that contains a secret Five Elements Foundation Building technique.

If one can gather the corresponding five elements of foundation-building spiritual objects, and use the power of these objects to temper one's foundation and break through realms, one can not only greatly increase the success rate of foundation building, but also forge a profound foundation far surpassing that of one's peers.

He had this idea in mind when he went to Tianxin Villa.

Arriving at the courtyard familiar with the way, Yu Daoxuan glanced around and noticed that the number of cultivators present today was far less than last time.

After the auction ended, many of the visiting cultivators left the market, leaving mostly local cultivators who remained.

Furthermore, this private meeting was limited to members of the Qingyuan Sect, with only twenty or thirty people present.

Just as Yu Daoxuan was about to find a quiet place to sit, a young cultivator dressed in a blue Daoist robe invited him from a short distance away: "Junior Brother Yu, come and sit here."

Yu Daoxuan looked up and recognized the person.

The visitor was named Zhou Keji, the eldest disciple of Cao Can, his senior martial uncle.

His master, Cao Can, was a junior brother of Qi Donglou, and they had interacted frequently in the sect in the past, so he and Zhou Keji were already acquainted.

So they went to sit down in the other person's seat.

Zhou Keji, with a friendly expression, asked, "Junior Brother Yu, why is Senior Brother Wang not here today?"

"My senior brother had to leave this morning."

Yu Daoxuan responded.

The two were already acquainted, so when they met, they naturally started chatting, talking about their fellow disciples and their experiences in the cultivation world.

They remained silent until the bell rang, then looked towards the central platform.

This small-scale trade fair was once again presided over by Wan Guizang.

The entire trade fair proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner, with all the cultivators obtaining what they needed and exchanging treasures.

Yu Daoxuan exchanged three first-grade high-quality talismans for a spiritual herb that would help the Ghost King Spider enhance its strength.

That was all that was gained.

Although there are still spiritual items he needs, yesterday's purchase of the Xuan Ying Breakthrough Pill almost consumed most of his wealth, so he can only sigh in vain.

After the meeting ended, Yu Daoxuan was about to turn around and return to his Immortal Cave to rest.

A middle-aged fellow cultivator dressed in gray robes and sporting a short beard walked briskly toward him with a smile.

"My name is Cheng Zizhuo. I greet Junior Brother Yu."

The short-bearded monk bowed respectfully, his attitude humble.

"Senior Brother Cheng, you're too kind. May I ask what brings you to me?"

Yu Daoxuan nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.

Cheng Zizhuo didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

Several months ago, he discovered an ancient cave dwelling on a deserted island.

However, there was an array of restrictions outside the cave, which he could not break through by himself. Therefore, he planned to invite Yu Daoxuan and two other fellow disciples to join forces to break the array, explore the cave, and divide the treasures equally.

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan remained unmoved and immediately refused.

Firstly, although he and Cheng Zizhuo were from the same clan and school, they had never interacted and had a shallow relationship. He did not know the other's character and was unwilling to rashly embark on a dangerous journey together.

Secondly, the incident with Li Dazui in the past made him realize that the so-called ancient cultivation cave, which seemed like an opportunity, was actually full of dangers and traps.

Cheng Zizhuo looked completely astonished.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that his sincere invitation would be rejected without a second thought.

Yu Daoxuan did not offer any further explanation. He bowed and took his leave, then greeted Zhou Keji before walking straight out of Tianxin Villa.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the garden gate, he bumped into Ying Hui, who was walking in a hurry.

"Junior Brother Yu, Uncle Ma is looking for you; he has urgent business to discuss!"

Ying Hui strode forward, his tone urgent.
