Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

"After interrogation, we learned that Ma Fuping was not an ordinary market manager at all. He was a spy for Blood Wolf Island, who was infiltrating the market to sell stolen goods for Blood Wolf Island."

Upon hearing Chen Hu's words, Yu Daoxuan was quite surprised.

He naturally knew the origins of Blood Wolf Island.

This is a notorious bandit-cultivator force within the Southern Sea Continent. It has several island lords with Foundation Establishment cultivation levels and has gathered hundreds of evil bandit-cultivators who have been intercepting and killing cultivators at sea for many years.

The Qingyuan Sect had sent people to besiege the area many times, but they had never been able to completely eradicate it.

Unexpectedly, the manager of Guyuezhai was actually from Blood Wolf Island.

After processing the news, Yu Daoxuan took out the golden talisman from his robes: "Senior Brother Chen, now that things are settled, this talisman should be returned to you."

When Chen Hu saw Yu Daoxuan take out the talisman, his eyes showed even greater appreciation.

However, he did not take it back, but waved his hand and refused, saying, "Junior Brother Yu, since I have given you this Golden Light Talisman, there is no reason for me to take it back. You are at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and carrying this Golden Light Talisman will give you an extra layer of protection when you are out there."

After saying that, he continued, "Junior Brother Yu, today's events have rendered me a great service to the sect. I always keep my word, so if you encounter any difficulties in the sect or the market in the future, you can come directly to me."

Yu Daoxuan was secretly pleased and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. I will remember this."

Afterwards, Chen Hu said that the law enforcement team would thoroughly investigate whether there were any Blood Wolf Island agents still in the market, and then left again.

To prevent Ma Fuping's accomplices from still being in the market, Yu Daoxuan temporarily stayed at the law enforcement team's residence.

As night deepened, the market enforcement team's residence was quiet. Yu Daoxuan looked at the storage bag and golden talisman in his hand, his heart filled with emotion.

This trip to the market not only resulted in obtaining the Heaven-Mending Pill to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but also unexpectedly uncovered a spy from Blood Wolf Island, gaining two hundred spirit stones and a favor from Chen Hu, making it a truly fruitful trip.

All of this is inseparable from the secret warnings and prophecies of the Golden Stele's last words.

At midnight that night.

Just as Yu Daoxuan had stabilized his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining, a warm sensation arose in his mind's eye, and the golden tablet's last words appeared as expected.

"My name is Yu Daoxuan. By the time you see this, it will be too late for me to regret it. Chen Hu has invited me to drink at Baihualou tomorrow as a way of thanking me."

"The female cultivators in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion are all beautiful and skilled in seductive arts, making them difficult for ordinary cultivators to resist. In my drunken state, I inadvertently lost my virginity, which will be detrimental to my future Foundation Establishment. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world, otherwise I would definitely focus on cultivation and never be tempted by beauty..."

After reading the last words, Yu Daoxuan was deeply alarmed.

He immediately made a silent vow that he would devote himself to cultivation in the future and never indulge in the temptations of beauty, lest he ruin his path to immortality.

The next day, Yu Daoxuan declined Chen Hu's invitation and returned directly to Qingyuan Sect.

Instead of returning to his own bamboo hut first, he went straight to the Inner Affairs Hall.

This place manages all the miscellaneous affairs of the outer disciples, including leave registration, salary collection, and other matters.

Inside the Inner Affairs Hall, there was a great deal of noise, with many outer disciples coming and going.

Yu Daoxuan skillfully navigated through the crowd and arrived at the door of a room, where he gently knocked.

"Come in."

A lazy voice came from inside the room.

Yu Daoxuan pushed open the door and entered. He saw a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a gray steward's robe lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, resting. This was Senior Brother Cao, who was in charge of canceling leave registration.

Yu Daoxuan cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Senior Brother Cao. I am returning from Baotai Market today and have come to claim my leave. Also, I have fortunately broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. Please register this for me as well."

Having said that, he released his cultivation aura.

Senior Brother Cao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He then stood up from the rocking chair, walked quickly to Yu Daoxuan, and carefully examined him.

After confirming that everything was correct, his originally serious face instantly broke into a smile, and he congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Yu, on officially becoming an outer disciple of my Qingyuan Sect and escaping the tribulation of menial labor. It is a cause for celebration."

It is extremely difficult for someone with a low-grade spiritual root to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining within five years.

Having seen many disciples with mediocre talent who ended up as menial servants, he had a greater appreciation for cultivators like Yu Daoxuan who could rise against the tide.

Senior Brother Cao picked up the register and wrote down Yu Daoxuan's changes in cultivation. He then instructed, "According to the sect's rules, those who advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining for the first time can go to the sect's treasury to receive two mid-grade magic artifacts for free. Junior Brother Yu, don't forget."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Cao. I was just about to head to the treasure vault to collect it."

Yu Daoxuan bowed and took his leave, then went to the sect's treasury and selected the Crimson Fire Sword and the Silver Shield, two mid-grade magic weapons.

After receiving the magical artifact, Yu Daoxuan went to the sect's scripture pavilion.

The Scripture Pavilion is where the Qingyuan Sect stores cultivation techniques and spells. After an outer disciple advances to the fourth level of Qi Refining, they can choose two Yellow-Rank spells for free to use in combat and for self-defense.

Before reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining, a cultivator's internal magical power is too weak to activate spells.

Only by breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and having sufficiently profound magical power can one manipulate objects in the void, activate spells, and truly possess the combat power of a cultivator.

Yu Daoxuan ultimately chose the "Fire Technique" and the "Wind Control Technique" as his current cultivation techniques.

"Fire Technique" is a fire-based attack spell that can condense flames to attack enemies when activated, and its power is considerable.

The "Wind Control Technique" can increase one's speed, making it extremely useful for both traveling and combat.

As he walked out of the Sutra Repository, he saw that it was getting dark and decided to return the spirit stones to Song Yunshu's cave the next day.

As night falls, Qingzhu Peak is quiet and still, with only the swaying bamboo shadows and the chirping of insects.

Yu Daoxuan was meditating when he suddenly heard light footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice rang out: "Brother Yu, are you home? This is Runshan."

Yu Daoxuan's heart stirred, and he got up to open the door.

A tall, burly man with a kind face stood outside the door, holding a storage bag in his hand and wearing a simple smile.

This person was none other than Xu Runshan, his fellow villager and good friend in the sect, whose spiritual root aptitude was the same as his—a low-grade spiritual root.

However, he was quite fortunate and unexpectedly gained the appreciation of a senior member of the sect, becoming his son-in-law.

With the help of his father-in-law, the other party broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining a month ago after taking the Qi Breaking Pill.

"Runshan, what brings you here? Come in and sit down."

Yu Daoxuan quickly invited him into the house.

Xu Runshan walked into the bamboo house and sat down. He then handed the storage bag in his hand to Yu Daoxuan and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, I heard that you borrowed spirit stones from Junior Sister Yun Shu a few days ago. I suppose you encountered some difficulties in your cultivation."

"I have saved up a hundred spirit stones here. You can use them first and try to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible, so that we can keep each other company on Star Sun Peak."

Yu Daoxuan felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head with a smile: "Runshan, thank you for your kindness, but it's no need. I have already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining."

"What? Brother Yu, you've broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining?" Xu Runshan looked at Yu Daoxuan with delight, feeling even more overjoyed at the powerful aura emanating from him. "That's wonderful! When are you moving to Star Sun Peak, Brother Yu?"

Yu Daoxuan smiled and said gently, "We'll be moving to Xingri Peak tomorrow morning. Remember to come to my cave at noon for a get-together, so we, fellow countrymen and friends, can have a good time."

"No problem, I'll definitely be there."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Xu Runshan got up to take his leave.
