Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

The next day.

As dawn broke, the sea of ​​clouds became clear and bright.

Qingyuan Sect, Tiandu Hall.

Yu Daoxuan and Chen Hu recounted the entire story of how they ambushed and captured Meng Sheng, the young master of Blood Wolf Island.

In the center of the main hall sat a Taoist priest in purple robes, exuding an air of authority despite his lack of anger.

This person is none other than Feng Jingting, the current leader of the Qingyuan Sect, who is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

After hearing the whole story, Feng Jingting's eyes showed approval.

"You two junior disciples' strategies to defeat the enemy are of the highest caliber, and your courage and character are both excellent. You truly deserve to be the proud disciples of my Qingyuan Sect."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again: "Blood Wolf Island has repeatedly harassed our sect's fleet, and now it is secretly spying on our disciples. I will report this matter to the three elders for a decision. If there are any further arrangements, I will inform you two."

"In addition, you two have rendered a great service by capturing the criminals, and the sect will reward you accordingly. You may each go to the second floor of the sect's treasury and choose a treasure for your cultivation."

After saying that, he took out two sect leader tokens and threw them at the two men.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader!"

Yu Daoxuan and Chen Hu accepted the letter and bowed in unison.

On his way down the mountain, Chen Hu walked briskly and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yu, I still need to return to Jade Dragon Market to guard it, so I'll head to the sect's treasury first. Come to the market another day, and we'll drink and discuss the Dao, not leaving until we're drunk."

"Of course, have a safe journey, senior brother."

Yu Daoxuan nodded in farewell.

Chen Hu smiled and steered the flying boat straight towards the sect's treasure vault.

Yu Daoxuan, however, was not in a hurry to select any treasures.

Having been away for so long, I should first pay my respects to my master.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at Xuanxin Cave, they encountered their master's wife, Yin Xiuxiu, who was on duty outside.

It turns out that Qi Donglou had gone into seclusion a month ago to try and break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, and he has not yet come out of seclusion.

Knowing that his master was in seclusion trying to break through a bottleneck, Yu Daoxuan did not want to disturb him. He silently prayed that his master would break through without any obstacles, and then returned to his own cave.

Returning to the cave, they activated the defensive formation and retrieved Meng Sheng's storage bag.

This bag bears the mark of its original owner's magic and cannot be used directly.

Yu Daoxuan spent a little time erasing the magical imprint in Meng Sheng's storage bag before carefully counting the spoils of war.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pile of spirit stones.

A rough count revealed over 1,400 low-grade spirit stones and five mid-grade spirit stones.

One mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. After conversion, this time the spirit stone harvest is nearly two thousand. No wonder he is the young master of Blood Wolf Island.

Nearly two thousand spirit stones is an extremely substantial fortune for a Qi Refining cultivator.

Then, his gaze fell upon an old painting.

On the scroll, a firebird spreads its wings as if about to take flight, flames billowing, exuding a majestic aura.

"A low-grade spiritual artifact, the Firebird Diagram!"

Yu Daoxuan's eyes brightened slightly.

This treasure can summon a firebird with combat power comparable to the early Foundation Establishment stage to assist in battle.

Even in battles at the Foundation Establishment level, having this magical artifact by your side is equivalent to having an extra powerful ally, making you even more formidable.

He carefully put away the Firebird Painting and turned his gaze back to the three top-quality magical artifacts.

It was the Hunyuan Thick Earth Umbrella, the Wind Crane Robe, and the gold-patterned jade bracelet that Meng Sheng used in his battle with Meng Sheng.

He had personally experienced the defensive power of the Hunyuan Thick Earth Umbrella that day, and its defensive capabilities were in no way inferior to his previous Xuan Turtle Shield. It was a top-grade defensive magic weapon.

The Wind Crane Robe also possesses exceptional defensive capabilities, able to withstand attacks from late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Yu Daoxuan then prepared to wear it for his own use.

The gold-patterned jade bracelet is even rarer, being a rare self-defense type magical artifact.

Whenever faced with a deadly crisis such as a sneak attack or assassination, the shield will automatically activate to resist the killing intent and avoid sudden and fatal danger.

Aside from the three top-grade magic artifacts, there were also four medium-to-high-grade magic artifacts scattered in the bag, but they were of ordinary quality and had limited uses.

Now that Yu Daoxuan's wealth and resources are far greater than before, he naturally looks down on these ordinary items and decides to sell them in the market in the future to convert them into cultivation resources.

Besides the ritual implements, there were seven well-sealed elixir bottles.

Upon inspection, they found three bottles of Qi Condensation Pills (which could improve cultivation), two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, and two bottles of Golden Marrow Pills—all commonly used elixirs for Qi Refining cultivators.

Beside the elixir was an ancient-looking treasure box.

The box was tightly sealed, clearly a precious item carefully treasured by its original owner.

Yu Daoxuan broke through the restriction, opened the box, and inside was a palm-sized, crystal-clear jade bottle.

The clear, shimmering water in the bottle was refreshing and invigorating.

"Huanyue Zhenshui!"

Upon seeing the object clearly, Yu Daoxuan's eyes instantly filled with intense surprise.

This is an extremely rare Foundation Establishment material, far more valuable than ordinary pills and spirit stones, and is something that can only be encountered by chance.

He was extremely envious when he saw Huan Yue Zhen Shui at the Jade Dragon Auction.

Unfortunately, I was short of money and couldn't buy it.

To everyone's surprise, the water was found again in Meng Sheng's storage bag, which was a delightful surprise.

It's just unknown whether this bottle of Illusion Moon True Water is the same one that was auctioned off.

He carefully put the treasure away, then looked at the various medicinal herbs in the bag.

The most precious items are a century-old Huangjingzhi mushroom and a Youshuilian lotus seed, both of which are core ingredients for refining first-grade high-quality spiritual pills and are extremely valuable.

After organizing his spoils, Yu Daoxuan calmed his mind, sat quietly on the couch, and began to consider his future cultivation plans.

At his current cultivation progress, it would take him about three to five years to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Once you break through the ninth level of perfection, the next crucial step is the Foundation Establishment stage.

The "Supreme Golden Chapter" he mainly studied is profound and superior, and there is a secret method for building a foundation with the Five Elements in the text.

By collecting all five elemental treasures and using their power to build a foundation, the success rate can be increased by about 40%, far exceeding that of ordinary foundation-building pills.

Yu Daoxuan had already decided in his heart to use this secret method to build his foundation in the future.

However, this method has an extremely high threshold, and the required five elemental materials are by no means ordinary spiritual items; they must be high-level five elemental treasures.

For example, the Moon Pearl, which is nurtured by the Moon Clam, is a high-level water-elemental treasure, more than enough for foundation building.

However, there is still a shortage of the four high-grade spiritual materials: metal, wood, fire, and earth.

Each high-level Five Elements treasure can fetch thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones in the outside world, making the cost extremely astonishing.

Fortunately, I have made a great contribution this time and can choose a treasure on the second floor of the sect's treasury.

That would be a good time to go and try my luck, to see if I could find a high-level Five Elements spiritual material.

With his cultivation plan finalized, Yu Daoxuan took out several communication talismans and informed his sect friends, including Song Yunshu and Xu Runshan, of his return to the sect.

Shortly after the message was sent out, several replies followed.

Song Yunshu's reply surprised him quite a bit; she had recently made a successful breakthrough and entered the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Upon closer reflection, although this matter was somewhat unexpected, it was also quite reasonable.

Song Yunshu possesses a mid-grade spiritual root, and during her previous trip to Misty Island, she obtained the Blood Python Fruit, which saved her several years of arduous cultivation. It is perfectly normal for her to break through to the seventh level now.

You should know that he had already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Despite having the Xuan Ying Breakthrough Pill to help him, his cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary high-grade spiritual root cultivators.

Yu Daoxuan then sent another message to congratulate him, and made it clear that if he were to hold a small celebration banquet for the inner sect, he should be informed.

There have always been two paths to advancement within the Qingyuan Sect.

Firstly, outer disciples who break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining can automatically be promoted to inner disciples.

Secondly, if one is accepted as a personal disciple by a Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion Ancestor of a sect, one can be promoted to the inner sect without being given special privileges.

Yu Daoxuan was the latter.
