Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

"My name is Yu Daoxuan. By the time you see this, I will already be dead. I was on my way back to the Qingyuan Sect from Yulong Market when I was ambushed and killed by the young master of Blood Wolf Island. I died on the spot, filled with resentment..."

Yu Daoxuan recalled his last words from midnight the previous night, and felt deeply depressed.

Unexpectedly, Blood Wolf Island secretly traced the incident involving Ma Fuping back to them.

What made him even more wary was that the other party's concealment techniques were extremely sophisticated.

He went out to retrieve the artifact today, paying close attention the whole time, but he never sensed any signs of being spied on.

If it weren't for the warning in the golden tablet, he would have had no idea that someone was watching him.

In retrospect, Ma Fuping had malicious intentions first, and he was merely retaliating as a result; he never intended to provoke Blood Wolf Island.

Upon realizing this, one can't help but feel a sense of helplessness at the unexpected disaster.

But that's how it's always been in the cultivation world; it doesn't care about right or wrong, it only cares about strength.

It is useless to harbor resentment; the only right way is to deal with it calmly.

He already knew about Blood Wolf Island and knew that its young master was named Meng Sheng, the son of Meng Che, the island's great lord, and that he currently possessed the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Meanwhile, he is always accompanied by an old servant who is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

If he were facing Meng Sheng alone, Yu Daoxuan would not be afraid.

However, since the other party also has a Foundation Establishment elder servant, they will have to ask someone else to take action.

Currently, the one in charge of Yulong Market is the Purple Mansion Ancestor of the Blackwater Wei family, one of the six major Purple Mansion forces in this continent, and he cannot ask him to move.

Therefore, upon returning to the courtyard of the Immortal Inn, Yu Daoxuan immediately sent out a communication talisman to contact Chen Hu.

He then sat cross-legged on the bed, calmed his mind, and began to refine the newly acquired Moon Shield.

The Moon Shield is a spiritual artifact, and its refining method differs somewhat from that of a magical artifact.

Magical artifacts can be controlled simply by refining them with magical power, while spiritual artifacts are mostly forged from second-tier spiritual materials and already possess a trace of spirituality.

Cultivators can imprint their divine sense into the artifact, allowing them to remotely control attacks using only their divine sense and thoughts.

Fortunately, the Moon Shield had just been completed, making it the easiest time to imprint one's consciousness upon it.

Time flowed slowly as Yu Daoxuan continuously channeled his divine sense and magical power to temper his shield.

In the depths of his being, he could sense that the Moon Shield was gradually becoming one with his own will.

A silvery-white aura shone brightly from the shield, which hovered in the air, moving freely in all directions, rising and falling at will.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Daoxuan opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in them.

After several days of refining, he has initially mastered the Moon Shield and can now wield it with ease. In the future, he will only need to spend time gradually getting used to it.

With the Moon Shield, survivability is greatly improved.

However, the drawbacks are equally obvious.

Spiritual artifacts are far more powerful than magical artifacts, but they also consume a great deal of magical power.

Even though he had mastered the Supreme Golden Chapter and his magical power far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level, he could only sustain the Moon Shield for the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea when he activated it at full power.

"Some things need to be resolved."

Putting away the Moon Shield, Yu Daoxuan recalled the events of Blood Wolf Island, a dark look flashing across his eyes.

He immediately set off, using his disguise technique to change his appearance into that of an ordinary-looking burly man, and then activated the Hidden Dragon Stone Cicada to completely conceal his cultivation aura.

He quietly left the Immortal Inn and headed straight for the sect's law enforcement team stationed where Chen Hu was located.

He had already informed Chen Hu of the matter beforehand, so the other party was waiting at the station early this morning.

Upon meeting Chen Hu, Yu Daoxuan got straight to the point, saying that he seemed to be followed by the young master of Blood Wolf Island, who might ambush and kill him on his way back to the sect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu was both surprised and delighted.

To their surprise, the people from Blood Wolf Island dared to reappear and set their sights on their junior brother.

The good news is that if they successfully capture and kill the young master of Blood Wolf Island, it will be another great achievement.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Hu asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Yu, what do you plan to do?"

Yu Daoxuan's status is now different from before, and he can no longer make decisions on his own as he used to.

Yu Daoxuan's gaze was sharp as he coldly said, "There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days, only a thousand days to guard against thieves. Why not lure the snake out of its hole and capture it in one fell swoop?"

"good!"

Chen Hu was overjoyed; this plan suited him perfectly.

The two immediately conspired and finalized their plan to capture and kill the next day.

Having planned carefully before acting, Yu Daoxuan bowed respectfully and said, "I will trouble Senior Brother Chen tomorrow."

"Junior brother, you're too kind. We're fellow disciples, and it's only natural that we should help and support each other."

Chen Hu said frankly.

After bidding farewell to Chen Hu, Yu Daoxuan did not immediately return to the Immortal Inn, but instead headed to the renowned Array Tower in the market.

There are very few disciples in the Qingyuan Sect who practice the art of array formations, and the array formations sold by Baoguang Pavilion are rare and of low quality.

The only third-tier array master in the entire Southern Sea Continent is Gongsun Duchen from Peach God Island.

The array building he opened in Yulong Market is complete in variety and of superior quality, and has always been highly sought after by cultivators in the continent.

His purpose in coming here is to purchase a superior formation that integrates offense and defense, to provide a backup plan for tomorrow's ambush.

Upon entering the shop, a beautiful young woman in the early stages of Qi Refining, dressed in a light white floral Taoist robe, quickly greeted him with a gentle smile.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask what kind of array formation artifacts you require?"

"I need a high-grade first-tier formation."

Yu Daoxuan stated his purpose directly.

The girl smiled even more upon hearing this, secretly delighted.

A first-grade high-quality formation costs at least a thousand spirit stones, and she can receive dozens of spirit stones for each successful transaction.

You should know that her monthly salary is only ten spirit stones.

The girl was overjoyed and quickly led the way in a soft voice: "Fellow Daoist, please come inside. The superior formations are all on the second floor."

He led Yu Daoxuan to a private room on the second floor and carefully poured him a cup of spiritual tea.

She bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment while I go and summon the steward so we can discuss this in detail."

After speaking, she turned gracefully and strode into the inner hall to report.

Yu Daoxuan did not touch the cup of spiritual tea in front of him, but sat calmly in his seat and looked around.

The second floor is filled with high-level array plates, array flags, and various array-setting materials, far superior in quality to the ordinary goods on the first floor.

Before long, a graceful figure walked slowly towards them.

The woman possessed unparalleled beauty and an ethereal grace; she was none other than Gongsun Rong, whom they had met before.

However, because Yu Daoxuan had disguised himself, the other party did not recognize him.

She gracefully sat down to one side, her tone gentle: "I heard that you need to purchase a first-grade or higher formation. Our shop currently has more than ten kinds of superior formations, which you may choose from."

After speaking, she took out an illustrated booklet, which recorded the effects and grades of various formations.

Yu Daoxuan took the booklet and carefully flipped through it, finally selecting a top-tier first-order formation called the "Five Elements Illusion Annihilation Formation".

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Rong raised her hand and took out a set of five-colored, flowing array flags and array plates from her storage bag.

"This is the Five Elements Illusionary Annihilation Array, which combines the effects of attack, defense, and trapping. It can be set up and activated instantly. Once the array is complete, it will create a mist to confuse the enemy. It can draw on the spiritual power of the five elements to defend against and attack the enemy. If an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator unfortunately enters the array, he will only die and his cultivation will be destroyed."

After the introduction, she announced the price: "This formation is priced at two thousand three hundred spirit stones."

"This formation is really expensive!"

Yu Daoxuan's Heart Dao.

This price already exceeds that of ordinary top-grade magical artifacts.

However, this formation is both offensive and defensive, and has endless uses, making it truly worth the price.

After some haggling, Yu Daoxuan finally settled on a price of 2,200 spirit stones.

He is currently in dire financial straits.

Previously, bidding for the Xuan Ying Breakthrough Pill cost 4,500 spirit stones, refining the Bright Moon Spirit Shield cost 1,000 spirit stones, and obtaining the Heavenly Demon Relic cost 800 spirit stones. In addition, with the consumption of various spiritual materials on a daily basis, there are only 2,500 spirit stones left in the bag.

If it weren't for the large number of talismans I recently drew and sold, I would already be penniless by now.

After paying the spirit stones, Gongsun Rong carefully explained the methods for setting up and controlling the formation.

They also informed us that the site could be repaired free of charge within three years, with only material costs required.

"This is quite good."

Yu Daoxuan nodded slightly, put away the formation, and left the formation building.
