Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

The next day, dawn broke.

Slanting Star Island, Nine Lan Mountain.

Yu Daoxuan sat upright on the bamboo couch, focusing intently on circulating the "Supreme Golden Chapter" to restore his magical power.

It wasn't until after noon that I felt my vital energy was abundant and my spirits were high, and then I slowly finished my practice.

"Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has suffered a significant loss of strength in the early stages is not so easy to kill."

Last night's battle on Kuzhu Island was extremely dangerous.

To kill Zheng Yechen, he exhausted almost all his means, depleting his essence and blood, and leaving him with very little magic power.

Even though the opponent was seriously injured and his strength was less than 30% of his peak, his foundation was still terrifying.

In the end, he used the Heavenly Demon Relic to temporarily increase his magical power and then unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, a powerful weapon, before finally managing to kill it with great difficulty.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator, even if the opponent was seriously injured, they would only be able to flee in panic.

Fortunately, the gains were plentiful, and the opponent also had a significant opportunity, making this battle worthwhile.

With this in mind, he took out Zheng Yechen's storage bag, preparing to take stock of the spoils of this battle.

He slowly channeled his inner energy, patiently erasing the remaining magical imprints on the storage bag.

The storage bag had a much larger internal space than any other storage bag he had ever seen.

Within the vast space, pills were piled up in one place, and magical artifacts and talismans were also categorized and placed in an orderly manner.

First, there's a small pile of spirit stones right in the center.

Roughly speaking, there were a total of over 3,100 low-grade spirit stones and 42 mid-grade spirit stones.

"As expected of the leader of the Artifact and Talisman Alliance, he has more than 7,300 spirit stones alone."

Yu Daoxuan was slightly pleased.

Twenty pill bottles were neatly arranged next to the spirit stone. Yu Daoxuan opened each bottle to check them. They were all filled with second-tier spirit pills, suitable for cultivation by cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

There were also three top-grade magical artifacts in the bag.

Two of them were the emerald green demon banner and the white silk whisk that Zheng Yechen used to defend against the enemy last night.

The last item was a top-grade alchemy furnace, presumably used by him to refine elixirs.

In addition, the bag contained more than a dozen pieces of spiritual materials and ores, mostly second-tier spiritual materials, which were quite valuable.

Yu Daoxuan's gaze swept over the items in the bag, finally settling on the three jade boxes.

"The opportunity mentioned in the golden tablet's last words should be in one of these jade boxes."

Yu Daoxuan took out the jade box, and still condensed a protective magic shield before opening the jade box on the left.

Inside the box was an ancient red book, exuding a strong eerie aura.

Yu Daoxuan glanced through it and discovered that it was a secret technique of the Heavenly Demon, completely different from the human cultivation system, and could be cultivated without spiritual roots.

After reading the book, Bai Zhiwei was the first person he thought of.

The other party has no spiritual roots and will never have the chance to become an immortal. If they can learn this technique, they may be able to embark on the path of cultivation.

However, given the taboo surrounding demonic arts, Yu Daoxuan ultimately abandoned the idea.

This demonic magic is domineering and sinister. With prolonged practice, it will gradually erode the cultivator's original heart, breed a bloodthirsty and violent demonic nature, and eventually turn them into a demon who only knows how to kill.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Yu Daoxuan decided to temporarily seal the book away and wait for the arrival of the cultivators from his sect to see how they would handle it.

Then, Yu Daoxuan opened the jade box in the middle.

Upon opening the box, one finds a dark green herb about three inches long.

This herb has seven leaves on one stem, resembling a jade carving, and exudes a unique fragrance that is refreshing and delightful.

"Nourishing herb!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Daoxuan's eyes, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

After killing Zheng Yechen last night, when he returned to the medicine garden on Bitter Bamboo Island, the immature Nourishing Spirit Grass was still there.

However, this herb is extremely delicate and fragile, and it is not easy to move or disturb it; if it is not handled carefully, it will wither and die.

If it weren't for a seasoned plant transplanter personally transplanting it, there would be absolutely no chance of it surviving, so he didn't pick it.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yechen's storage bag contained a fully mature Nourishing Spirit Grass.

This unexpected gain was truly a pleasant surprise.

After carefully putting away the Nourishing Spirit Grass, Yu Daoxuan opened the last jade box.

Inside the box lay a piece of warm jade, about the size of a goose egg, with a slightly flattened shape.

As soon as her jade-like body appeared, it shone with a brilliant purple light, sometimes tinged with red clouds, illuminating the entire room in shades of red and purple.

This is a rare and wondrous fire-yang artifact with endless uses. It can assist cultivators in practicing techniques and supernatural abilities, and it is also a top-tier material for crafting spiritual weapons.

Its value far exceeds that of the Fire Crystal he obtained in the sect's treasury in the past.

Yu Daoxuan already had an idea in mind.

The Supreme Golden Chapter records many magical arts and techniques, among which a superior secret method is called "Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light".

This technique requires drawing the essence of the five elements into the body and refining it into divine light with the fire of the heart. Its power is domineering and unparalleled, making it a first-rate killing technique.

This thousand-year-old warm jade contains extremely pure fire yang essence, which is just right for cultivating this method.

The only drawback is that this method has an extremely high threshold; one must establish a foundation before one can practice it.

Just as Yu Daoxuan was planning his path of cultivation, he suddenly noticed a teleportation talisman flying into the array's restrictions.

With a thought, Yu Daoxuan gently channeled his magic power, and the communication talisman landed steadily in his palm.

Liu Chongchang's respectful voice came from inside.

"Governor, cultivators from the Huang family of Jinyang have come to pay a visit and are currently waiting in the front hall. Would you like to see them?"

"The Huang family of Jinyang?"

Yu Daoxuan murmured softly, his eyes darkening slightly.

Huang Daoxuan, whom he killed in Hongmiao Town, was a member of the Huang family of Jinyang.

"What is the Huang family's purpose in coming here?" His mind raced. "Do they know about the Nine Netherworld Absolute Yin Land, and the Xuanming Stone that I couldn't find in Huang Daoxuan's storage bag? Could it be hidden in the Huang family's possession?"

After a moment's thought, Yu Daoxuan decided to meet with the Huang family to see what their intentions were.

A moment later, they arrived at the front hall.

A middle-aged monk who appeared to be in his forties, dressed in an elegant Confucian robe and possessing a gentle demeanor, stood in the hall.

Upon seeing Yu Daoxuan, the other party immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "Huang Mingli of the Huang family of Jinyang greets Garrison Commander Yu. I heard that Garrison Commander Yu is stationed on Xiexing Island. My clan is nearby, so I should come to pay my respects as soon as possible."

"However, my Huang family is currently following the orders of our superior sect to search for the Asura Palace's cultivators. I hope that you, Commander Yu, will not blame us for arriving too late."

After speaking, he reached into his storage bag and a delicate jade box landed in his hand.

He gently opened the box, inside which was a spiritual herb called "Red Moon Flower," worth thirty or forty spirit stones.

"I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation, Commander Yu."

Yu Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang is too kind. However, I am not worthy of such a reward without having done anything right. Please accept it."

"Lord Yu is concerned about the safety of tens of thousands of people around Xiexing Island every day. He has done a great job. Some of my Huang family members are also here, so we are very grateful. We hope Lord Yu will accept this."

"Fine, since your Huang family is going to be destroyed sooner or later anyway, I'll just take it now."

With this in mind, Yu Daoxuan accepted the jade box.

He then gestured for the other person to sit down and asked directly, "May I ask what brings you here, friend?"

"No, no, I'm just paying a visit to Garrison Commander Yu."

Huang Mingli laughed heartily.

The main reason for this visit was that Huang Daoxuan, the clan's prodigy, had been out of contact for a long time after leaving the village.

After making inquiries, the Huang family learned that a zombie outbreak had occurred in Hongmiao Town, and that the zombie outbreak had stopped after Yu Daoxuan visited.

Layer upon layer of clues led the Huang family to conclude that Huang Daoxuan's disappearance was most likely related to Yu Daoxuan.

In addition, the Huang family also wanted to test whether Yu Daoxuan knew the secret of Huang Daoxuan's cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Technique.

So the two chatted for a while, and Huang Mingli brought up the incident of the zombies causing trouble in Hongmiao Town in the past.

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan became highly alert, but his face remained impassive.

When tested, he readily admitted that he had indeed killed a rampaging zombie in Hongmiao Town.

"It's not easy for a corpse to turn into a zombie. In my opinion, there must be some evil cultivator behind this."

A glint flashed in Huang Mingli's eyes, and he said seemingly casually.

"What Fellow Daoist Huang said makes sense, but I did not see any evil cultivators."

Yu Daoxuan's answer was very tactful; he only said that he had not encountered any evil cultivators, but he did not completely deny it.

After several attempts to probe, Huang Mingli was still unable to get the truth out of Yu Daoxuan, and he had already formed a general guess in his mind.

So, after exchanging a few polite words, he took his leave with his hands clasped in farewell.

Once Huang Mingli's figure had completely disappeared, Yu Daoxuan's eyes grew cold.

The Huang family's investigation into the past of Hongmiao Town, coupled with Huang Daoxuan's cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Technique, all indicate that...

The Huang family of Jinyang has probably already secretly pledged allegiance to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
