Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Inside the cave, Yu Daoxuan carefully checked all his belongings.

First, there are spirit stones.

After several battles, he now has over 11,000 low-grade spirit stones and over 40 mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag.

With just these spirit stones, his net worth far exceeds that of many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Even some early Foundation Establishment cultivators might not have this many spirit stones in their storage bags.

Secondly, there are various magical artifacts, totaling seven items.

The two top-grade spiritual artifacts, namely the Heavenly Thunder Talisman and the Golden Feather Wings, are their trump cards.

The five low-grade spiritual artifacts are the Moon Shield, the Jade-Splitting Shuttle, the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier, the Firebird Diagram, and the Blood Infant Sword, covering offense, defense, and escape.

He cultivated sword techniques and usually used flying swords to fight, so he didn't use the Jade-Splitting and Gold-Dividing Shuttle much.

The defensive power of the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier is inferior to that of the Moon Shield, and it is rarely used.

Therefore, Yu Daoxuan planned to sell the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier in the future and exchange it for other cultivation resources.

As for the Jade-Splitting and Gold-Dividing Shuttle, it can be used as material for refining one's natal spiritual weapon in the future.

Aside from the spiritual artifacts, there were more than a dozen top-grade magical artifacts, most of which were spoils of war obtained from killing Hatoyama Mitaka, Zheng Yechen, and others.

As for the remaining batch of mid-to-high-grade magic artifacts, Yu Daoxuan was too lazy to sort them out. He simply collected them all into a spare storage bag, planning to sell them at the market later to exchange for resources needed for cultivation.

The storage bag was also well stocked with pills and talismans.

There are dozens of bottles of first and second-tier spiritual pills of various types, enough to support his cultivation all the way to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

There are dozens of first-tier talismans, enough for ordinary combat and emergencies.

However, all the talismans are of the first rank, which is sufficient for Qi Refining cultivators in combat, but they are not very useful against Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, he planned to draw several quasi-second-tier runes and first-tier top-tier runes with special effects later.

Finally, there was a family heirloom treasure map, the Crystal of Departing Fire, the Moon Pearl, and some spiritual herbs and minerals, etc.

He roughly calculated that all these medicinal herbs and minerals combined were worth three to five thousand spirit stones.

After organizing all his belongings, Yu Daoxuan found that he had enough spirit stones to buy high-level Five Elements spiritual items. In the future, he would only need to find time to go to the market to find and buy them.

Next, his gaze fell upon the several top-grade magical artifacts he had recently acquired.

Yu Daoxuan is currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he still mainly uses top-grade magic weapons in his daily battles.

Therefore, he planned to refine several of Hatoyama Mitaka's top-grade magical artifacts one by one and make them his own.

He first took out the Mother-Child Yin Soul Blade.

Since Hatoyama Mitaka had already been killed by him, and the owner of the magical artifact had perished, the magical imprint within the artifact was quickly erased.

In less than half an hour, he had completed the initial refinement of the Mother-Child Yin Soul Blade.

Yu Daoxuan imprinted his magical power within them, and with a slight thought, the five sub-blades instantly emitted a faint green light, hovering quietly in mid-air in front of him.

With a sudden flick of his sleeve, five green rays shot through the air, swirling and intertwining in mid-air, agile and sharp.

"This blade is quite powerful."

Yu Daoxuan gave a thumbs-up.

He can already unleash about 70-80% of the device's power; the rest is just a long period of adjustment.

Then, following the same method, he refined the other essential magical artifacts, such as the Brocade Cloud Pouch and the Red Sand Gourd.

By the time everything was finished, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Yu Daoxuan closed his eyes and concentrated, meditating for two hours to recover from the exhaustion of refining the magical artifact all night.

After fully recovering, he took out his talisman brush, paper, and ink, and prepared to draw talismans.

This time, he was going to refine a top-tier first-order talisman called the "Suppressing God Talisman".

This talisman is extremely rare and can stabilize a cultivator's soul and resist soul illusions.

Yu Daoxuan calmed his mind and cleared his thoughts of distractions, then recalled the steps for drawing the talisman.

After confirming that nothing was missing, he channeled his inner energy into the talisman brush in his hand.

He then dipped the brush in ink and began to draw, his brush moving like dragons and snakes.

The Suppressing Talisman truly lives up to its reputation as a rare top-tier first-order talisman, consuming far more mana than other spirit talismans of the same rank.

Fortunately, Yu Daoxuan's cultivation method was extremely superior, and his magical power was profound. His magical power at the eighth level of Qi Refining was stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

A moment later, the talisman's tail flashed with spiritual light, and the entire talisman shone with purple light before disappearing into the talisman paper.

"call!"

Having finished writing, Yu Daoxuan let out a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for his powerful spiritual sense, comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his mental fortitude far surpassing others of the same level, this top-tier Divine Suppression Talisman would have been difficult to complete.

"Now that I have successfully refined the Divine Suppression Talisman, I will have something to show for it when I see Miss Ruan again in the future."

He thought to himself.

He still remembered the other party's request, but this talisman was quite difficult to draw, so it was only officially drawn today.

After a short rest, just as Yu Daoxuan was about to pick up his brush to draw another near-second-tier small Gengjin sword talisman, a communication talisman suddenly pierced through the cave's restrictions and floated in.

With a surge of magical power, the voice of Master Qi Donglou emanated from within.

It turns out that the sect has uncovered evidence in recent days of the Huang family of Jinyang practicing the Heavenly Demon Technique and secretly harming ordinary people.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, the sect is summoning all the guardians and disciples of the islands near Jinyang Island and ordering them to immediately gather at Qiaojia Island.

Tonight we will set out to besiege the Huang family of Jinyang and eliminate this scourge.

Upon hearing the order, Yu Daoxuan summoned Liu Chongchang, saying that he had to go out for some business and instructed him to guard the mountain gate.

After settling his affairs, he immediately set off for Qiaojia Island.

At this moment, in the main hall atop Qingsong Mountain on Qiaojia Island.

Master Qi Donglou, his third senior brother Zhu Hongyi, and his fourth senior sister Zhou Junyi were all present, along with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a hundred elite fellow disciples in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining. The lineup was vast and imposing.

Among the crowd, Yu Daoxuan also saw many old acquaintances.

He Yiming, Han Zhengrong, Zhong Xiaotang, and others who had gone out to sea together to catch moon clams in the past were all present, each with a focused aura and ready to go.

At that time, Qi Donglou was discussing the war with Tie Ting and two other Foundation Establishment peak cultivators from their sect.

Not wanting to disturb them, Yu Daoxuan went to Zhu Hongyi and Zhou Junyi's side to chat and reminisce.

"Third Senior Brother, do you know how the Feathered Ascension Sect's expedition is progressing? Which patriarch from our sect is leading the expedition?"

Yu Daoxuan asked.

Zhu Hongyi pondered for a moment and said, "The sect recently sent back news that the pioneering campaign is progressing smoothly. This time, Elder Yang is leading the expedition."

"Old Master Yang?"

Yu Daoxuan was slightly surprised.

In his mind, this expedition should have been undertaken by the aging Ancestor Cui, who was nearing the end of his life and whose time was about to pass, so that he could use up his last bit of energy to make contributions to the sect.

Guessing his doubts, Zhu Hongyi explained, "Fifth Junior Brother, you may not know this, but Ancestor Yang is considered a junior of Ancestor Cui. He knows that Ancestor Cui's lifespan is not long and does not want him to risk his life in battle anymore. He wants to let Ancestor spend his remaining years in peace, which can be considered as fulfilling his filial duty as a junior."

"Furthermore, the cultivators who suffered the most casualties in the pioneering battle were those at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages. The Golden Core and Purple Mansion Ancestors were of extraordinary strength and were generally difficult to injure. Now, the Feathered Ascension Sect also knows that Ancestor Cui's lifespan is coming to an end and his strength has been greatly reduced. The other party has high demands, and our sect cannot be fooled."

"I see."

Yu Daoxuan suddenly realized.

Shortly after the three began their conversation, the island garrison commanders and their disciples from various islands arrived.

Tie Ting, Qi Donglou, and the other three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators rose side by side, their imposing aura overwhelming the entire arena.

Seeing that the four were preparing to deploy their forces, all the disciples stopped talking and listened attentively.

Elder Tie Ting's voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the entire square.

But what they said was nothing more than that the Huang family of Jinyang secretly practiced demonic arts and harmed ordinary people.

He also stated that this expedition was to act on behalf of Heaven and to rid the people of evil.

After the presentation, the tasks were assigned and teams were divided.

Yu Daoxuan, Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Junyi, and their fellow disciples surnamed Yu and Yang Mude formed a team and were ordered to guard a mountain peak on the outskirts of Jinyang Mountain to intercept the Huang family cultivators who were trying to escape from the mountain.

Upon hearing that they had been assigned this task, Yu, Yang Mude, and their fellow disciples were greatly disappointed, as if the duck that was about to be in their hands had flown away.

Yu Daoxuan felt neither joy nor sorrow.

A direct assault on Huang's main territory would certainly yield resources, merits, and some spoils of war.

But battles are ruthless, and swords have no eyes; one could lose their life.

On the contrary, intercepting from the outside is much safer.

With the mission assigned, Elder Tie Ting's gaze sharpened, and he commanded in a deep voice, "Set off!"

At a command, a large, second-tier spirit boat flew out and hovered in mid-air.

Yu Daoxuan and the others leaped up and flew onto the spirit boat.

A moment later, the spirit boat soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds, and carrying a group of disciples towards Jinyang Island.
