Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words
Chapter 48 The Power of the Sword
After leaving Baiyun Tower, Yu Daoxuan went to another shop.
Last time, I obtained the Heavenly Demon Relic in Jade Dragon Market. The relic had extraordinary effects, so I decided to refine my body.
So after returning to his sect, he found a second-tier body-refining technique called the "Five Elements Body Refining Technique," which could be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Qingyuan Sect does have other, stronger, and better body-refining techniques, but they either have harsh cultivation conditions or consume huge amounts of resources.
He was well aware that his current goal was to establish a foundation, not to specialize in body refinement, so he chose the "Five Elements Body Refinement Technique," which emphasizes gradual progress and consumes relatively few resources.
Although this method, once mastered, does not grant any special supernatural powers, its strength lies in its solid foundation, resulting in a physical body with strong defensive capabilities. Furthermore, the risks involved in its cultivation are relatively low, making it suitable as a supplementary practice.
To cultivate the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, one must soak the body in a specially made spiritual liquid and then refine it using the breathing techniques within, repeatedly tempering the physical body.
Another reason he came to the market was to buy spiritual materials for refining the Five Elements Elixir.
Fortunately, the materials for refining the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid are relatively common. Only some herbs and minerals with the five elements are needed, so he quickly purchased them from the two shops.
He bought a year's supply directly, spending a total of over 1,500 spirit stones.
Then, he visited several other shops.
Unfortunately, the market here is small. He asked several shops, but none of them sold second-tier talisman brushes, paper, and ink, so he had to buy some first-tier talisman-making materials for the time being.
With all the necessary resources prepared, Yu Daoxuan prepared to set off on his return journey.
We passed through a long bluestone street, surrounded by several restaurants, which was quite noisy.
Just then, a subtle and agile voice quietly entered his ears, perfectly clear.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful, someone is following you."
Yu Daoxuan's gaze narrowed slightly as he turned his head and glanced at the railing on the second floor of the restaurant to his right.
The person standing by the railing was none other than Ruan Qingqing, who had just left.
Her features were delicate, and although she appeared to be leaning on the railing admiring the scenery, her gaze subtly hinted at a reminder.
In fact, with his divine sense far surpassing that of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he had already sensed several subtle, probing auras behind him.
Yu Daoxuan moved his lips slightly and expressed his gratitude through telepathy.
The next moment, his expression remained unchanged, and he walked calmly toward the exit of the market.
A moment later, they passed through the mist formation and arrived at an open space at the foot of the mountain.
He raised his hand and patted his storage bag, and the Wind-Riding Boat appeared in mid-air, heading towards the direction of Slanting Star Island.
During the rapid ascent, the three auras clung to them like a persistent, malignant tumor, always hanging firmly behind them.
"Looks like they really think they're easy prey."
A cold glint flashed in Yu Daoxuan's eyes as he guessed the identity of the person behind him.
Simultaneously, by channeling their magical power, the speed of the Wind-Escape Boat suddenly increased dramatically.
Unexpectedly, the three auras behind him also accelerated.
Perhaps sensing that Yu Daoxuan had discovered they were being followed, the other party stopped trying to conceal their tracks and openly followed them.
Yu Daoxuan glanced back and saw that the leader was none other than Mo Jianlin, who had previously failed to recruit him and left with resentment.
Behind them followed a pair of twin cultivators, both at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
If it were an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, facing a combination of one Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator and two Qi Refining Level 7 cultivators, they would have no choice but to be captured and slaughtered.
Unfortunately, they have provoked Yu Daoxuan today.
With his current strength and resources, dealing with these three is more than enough for him.
Upon realizing this, Yu Daoxuan felt a chilling killing intent in his heart.
Instead of speeding up his escape, he deliberately changed direction, feigning panic and fleeing towards a remote sea area.
Seeing this, Mo Jianlin, who was behind, mistakenly thought that the person in front was panicking and had no choice but to reveal a greedy and sinister smile.
He then urged his two allies to speed up and catch up.
At that time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the sunset painted the twilight sky red.
Four streaks of light flew swiftly across the open sky, one after the other.
Before long, they had traveled dozens of miles away from the market town of Tsushima Island, with only a lonely, deserted island in the vicinity.
"You can go die now!"
Yu Daoxuan's gaze swept across the deserted island, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
Then, he suddenly accelerated, maneuvering the Wind-Riding Boat to land steadily in a valley surrounded by mountains on the deserted island, and immediately set up the Green Wood Dragon-Locking Formation.
Having learned about the formation of the Five Elements Illusionary Array from his previous purchase, Yu Daoxuan was able to quickly get started this time.
The formation remained concealed, and he stood calmly within it, patiently awaiting the pursuers.
In just a few breaths, three streaks of light crashed to the ground, and Mo Jianlin and his two companions landed not far away, subtly surrounding them.
Seeing Yu Daoxuan's calm expression, without the slightest hint of panic or fear, Mo Jianlin felt a sudden unease creep into his heart. This was an intuition honed through years of immersing himself in the world of cultivation and escaping death multiple times.
But things have come to this point, and the die is cast.
Mo Jianlin suppressed his doubts and pretended to be friendly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, it is truly a pleasure to meet you again. I have no ill intentions, but I sincerely invite you to join my Artifact and Talisman Alliance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Qi Refining Level 7 cultivators behind him stepped forward in unison, their magical power surging and their aura spreading out, subtly blocking Yu Daoxuan's escape route.
Yu Daoxuan surveyed the desolate valley and slowly spoke, his voice cold: "This place, undisturbed, is quite suitable as the burial ground for the three of you."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly slapped the storage bag.
hum!
A dazzling crimson light, its sharp edge piercing the sky.
The Chongming Sword hovered in front of him, its blade gleaming with spiritual light, and an aura of fierce killing intent emanated from it.
Yu Daoxuan made a hand seal with one hand, and the Chongming Sword shone brightly with a crimson light, instantly splitting into three sharp crimson sword energies, each carrying a heat wave that could burn everything, and attacking the three of them.
He was cautious by nature and never underestimated his opponents just because they were weak.
Therefore, when facing these three people, he immediately used the fierce and domineering Fiery Heavenly Gang Sword Technique.
"A top-grade magic sword!"
Sensing the terrifying sharpness of the Chongming Sword rushing towards him, Mo Jianlin's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart trembled violently.
He never expected that this seemingly ordinary lone talisman master would possess such a top-grade magical artifact.
At that moment, a wave of regret washed over him, and he knew that this time things were unlikely to end well.
But with the sword's aura upon him and killing intent lurking everywhere, there was no room for hesitation or evasion.
In this critical moment, he dared not hold back in the slightest. He hastily patted his storage bag, and a silver-white spirit flag shot out.
As magical power surged in, the spirit flag instantly unfurled in the wind, radiating a silvery-white spiritual light to shield him.
The next instant, the domineering and fierce Chongming sword crashed into the flag.
The deafening roar echoed across the surrounding area, and raging waves of fire surged wildly along the flag, causing the entire spirit flag to tremble violently and its spiritual light to fluctuate erratically.
Fortunately, this spirit flag was a high-grade defensive magic weapon, which barely managed to block this fierce attack.
Mo Jianlin barely managed to block the attack, but his two allies behind him did not have such means.
The two were merely ordinary rogue cultivators from the Artifact and Talisman Alliance, with meager resources and not even possessing a single high-grade magic artifact. They could only muster a few mid-grade magic artifacts to barely hold their ground.
The Chongming Sword was a top-grade killing weapon, its sword energy sharp and unparalleled, crashing into the two people's defenses with overwhelming force.
With two crisp sounds, their protective magical artifacts were instantly cleaved in two by the sword energy, their spiritual light extinguished, and they fell to the ground.
Without the protection of magical artifacts, their magical shields were as fragile as paper, easily pierced by the sword energy.
Before the two Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivators could even scream, their bodies were cleaved in two by the sharp sword energy from top to bottom, blood splattering everywhere, a horrifying sight.
Mo Jianlin turned his head upon hearing the sound, and upon catching sight of this horrific scene, his body suddenly stiffened.
A bone-chilling cold shot straight up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and cold sweat instantly soaked through my clothes.
