Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Turning around, Yu Daoxuan saw a pair of surprised and delighted eyes.

He stepped forward with an unchanged expression and examined the injuries of Liu Chongchang and the others one by one.

The few disciples who were doing odd jobs only suffered from excessive depletion of their magical power and had no other injuries. They could fully recover after taking some pills and resting quietly for a few weeks.

The most seriously injured was Liu Chongchang. He was already old, and this forced activation of his magic power damaged his very essence, causing his already limited lifespan to be further depleted.

Yu Daoxuan took out more than ten healing pills and distributed them to everyone. He then instructed two spiritual plant practitioners to escort Liu Chongchang back to recuperate.

He then informed his sect about the matter.

He then put away the damaged Green Wood Dragon Locking Formation, sent the remaining servants and disciples to tidy up the spirit herb garden, and only then returned to the Bamboo Courtyard alone.

On the bamboo bed, Yu Daoxuan sat cross-legged and took out a Purple Condensation Pill.

The elixir melts upon entering the throat, its pure medicinal power flowing through the limbs and bones.

He cleared his mind of distractions and focused on circulating the "Supreme Golden Chapter" to restore his magical power.

This battle consumed forty to fifty percent of his magical power, and it took him several hours to slowly finish his work.

The Supreme Golden Chapter is a superior cultivation technique that can quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its recovery time is far longer than that of ordinary cultivation techniques.

When he finished his practice and opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.

The morning light pierced through the thin mist in the forest, scattering dappled brilliance.

Just as Yu Daoxuan was about to open Hatoyama Mitaka's storage bag, he sensed a teleportation talisman flying into the array's restrictions.

Seeing this, he channeled his magic power, and the teleportation talisman floated into his hand, carrying Qi Donglou's voice.

"I didn't expect Master and his group to arrive so quickly."

Yu Daoxuan immediately stood up and moved to the front hall.

Inside the hall, Qi Donglou sat in the main seat, with a white-haired cultivator in a purple-red Taoist robe sitting beside him.

The four fellow disciples surnamed Yu who had previously been injured and unconscious have also awakened and are standing quietly by the side of the hall.

"Disciple Yu Daoxuan pays respects to Master and Senior Uncle."

Yu Daoxuan quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Dao Xuan, were you injured in the attack on the spirit herb garden last night? What were the specific details?"

Qi Donglou looked concerned and asked in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine."

Yu Daoxuan recounted the entire story of the three eagles from Hatoyama's trespassing on Mount Kyuran last night.

After listening, Qi Donglou pondered for a moment and said, "According to what you said in your last message, this matter is very likely to be secretly orchestrated by the Huang family."

"The three cunning members of Hatoyama have always been treacherous and never dare to easily provoke cultivator forces stronger than themselves. If it weren't for someone secretly instigating them, they would never have dared to launch a surprise attack on our sect's territory."

"Rest assured, how could my Qingyuan Sect allow outsiders to wantonly attack and kill our cultivators? This matter will not be left unresolved. Once Senior Brother Tie finds the evidence, the Huang family will surely be wiped out."

After speaking, he turned to the white-haired cultivator beside him and introduced, "Dao Xuan, this is your senior uncle Cui Xiangchen. Tell me more about your trip to Bitter Bamboo Island."

Yu Daoxuan understood that Cui Xiangchen's visit must be about the death of his clansman Cui Chengze on Kuzhu Island.

It is likely that the two masters had already inquired with the four fellow disciples surnamed Yu and knew the general outline of what had happened.

After a moment's thought, he omitted the fact that Cui Chengze had knelt down and begged for mercy, as well as the fact that he had personally killed Zheng Yechen.

He only said that he had struggled to hold on until the opponent's secret techniques were exhausted, and Zheng Yechen was unable to fight any longer and retreated on his own, so that he could return to the island with the four fellow disciples surnamed Yu.

Although Zheng Yechen's head was worth half a Foundation Establishment Pill, the fact that a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator could kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if the opponent was a severely weakened early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was still terrifying.

Once the news gets out, it will surely shock the entire cultivation world of Nanming Continent, which will be more of a curse than a blessing for him.

Therefore, they concealed the fact that Zheng Yechen had been killed.

Upon hearing this, Cui Xiangchen simply nodded calmly without asking any further questions.

This surprised Yu Daoxuan somewhat.

Seeing this, Qi Donglou spoke again, asking about the whereabouts of the Nine Netherworld Absolute Yin Land.

"Reporting to Master, the Nine Netherworld Absolute Yin Land is located deep in the mountains of Hongmiao Town on Bitter Bamboo Island."

Yu Daoxuan then led the two to Hongmiao Town, through the cave entrance, and into the inner room.

However, this place is no longer what it used to be.

Previously, Yu Daoxuan had already taken away all the water from the Xuanming Pool, and he had also dug up the Xuanming Mud at the bottom of the pool, which contained pure Yin spiritual energy, leaving only an empty pit.

Qi Donglou slowly surveyed his surroundings, then squatted down, picked up a handful of black soil, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"That's right, this is an extremely yin place. The soil on the ground contains rich yin energy, making it an excellent place to cultivate high-level yin-attribute spiritual herbs."

He looked up at Yu Daoxuan and praised him, "Daoxuan's investigation has been fruitful and deserves a great reward."

One great merit for the sect is equivalent to three thousand good deeds.

The Qingyuan Sect has clear rules: one good deed can be exchanged for one spirit stone. However, spirit stones cannot be exchanged for good deeds within the sect. With good deeds, one can browse cultivation techniques, exchange for magic weapons, spiritual artifacts, and so on.

Three thousand merits are enough to exchange for a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Just then, Cui Xiangchen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, his gaze falling on Yu Daoxuan.

"Junior Nephew Yu, this Xuanming Pool should contain a Xuanming Stone. Have you ever seen it?"

Yu Daoxuan's expression was frank: "This disciple has not seen it. This place was first discovered by the Huang family, and this disciple guesses that the Xuanming Stone most likely fell into the hands of the Huang family."

Yu Daoxian had indeed never seen this Xuanling Stone before, so he was very confident in his claim.

That same day, Qi Donglou and Cui Xiangchen hurriedly left Xiexing Island.

Before leaving, Qi Donglou, worried that the Huang family would seek revenge again, specially gave Yu Daoxuan a second-grade high-quality earth escape talisman in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Yu Daoxuan returned to the Bamboo Courtyard, activated the defensive formation, took out the storage bag of Hatoyama San'taka, and first opened the bag of the scarred-face cultivator.

The moment the barrier was broken, many objects tumbled down and scattered all over the ground.

The most eye-catching thing was a small pile of colorful spirit stones. Yu Daoxuan counted them and there were more than 1,600 spirit stones in total.

Then came several bottles of pills, mostly ordinary first-tier spiritual pills.

There are also a few common talismans, which are all low-level talismans used by cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

In addition, there are four or five jade slip books containing insights into foundation building.

Judging from the situation, the scarred-faced cultivator was probably preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but unfortunately, he has now become a victim of his sword.

Yu Daoxuan looked at the pile of items that had been dumped out and sighed slightly.

In addition, he obtained three top-grade magical artifacts from the scarred monk.

Such a wealth and background far surpasses that of most late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. It should be noted that even among the ninth-level Qi Refining disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, not everyone possesses a top-grade magic weapon.

After checking the items in the scarred cultivator's storage bag, Yu Daoxuan then opened the storage bags of the other two people.

In comparison, the other two had relatively meager financial resources.

The two of them had only a little over nine hundred spirit stones combined. What remained were two top-grade magic artifacts, two high-grade magic artifacts, a number of first-tier pills and talismans, and two Qi-refining cultivation techniques.

Yu Daoxuan glanced through the two cultivation manuals; they were both ordinary Qi-refining techniques, which could be viewed for free in the Qingyuan Sect's library and weren't worth many spirit stones.

He meticulously examined all the spoils of war he had acquired, and also carefully counted all his personal assets, planning how to use them for his future cultivation.
