Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 85 Separation and Reunion

A gentle breeze blows, and the clouds drift and swirl.

Outside the market gate of Haiyue Island, there is a quiet open space.

Shangguan Ling knew that after returning to the Phoenix Heart Sect, she would likely go directly back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

From now on, we will be separated by mountains and seas, and it will be difficult to meet again.

So he said to Yu Daoxuan with a reluctant expression, "Brother Yu, you must come to see me at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in the future. And remember to write to me often."

"Princess, rest assured, I will definitely pay you a visit if I have the opportunity in the future."

Shangguan Qingqing and the other person were nearby. Yu Daoxuan did not address them affectionately, but instead called them Princess.

With parting imminent, Shangguan Ling paid no attention to the change in how the other person addressed her.

She quickly took out an exquisite jade box from her storage bag and handed it to him without saying a word: "Brother Yu, you can open this box when you get back. Ling'er is leaving now."

"Very well, may the princess's immortal path last forever."

Yu Daoxuan nodded solemnly and carefully put the jade box away.

After watching Shangguan Ling and his two companions leave, Yu Daoxuan reduced his cultivation to the eighth level of Qi Refining before turning and heading towards the inner city of the market.

With the market assembly approaching, monks from all directions flocked to the area.

The entire market was bustling with activity, with cultivators coming and going in an endless stream; the number of people was more than double what it had been before.

The street was lined with stalls, displaying a dazzling array of spiritual herbs, ores, talismans, magical artifacts, and precious elixirs, with a much richer variety than before.

Yu Daoxuan walked along the street, his eyes scanning the stalls, but there was no chance to find a bargain.

"Junior Brother Yu!?"

As Yu Daoxuan walked down a street, he heard someone calling his name; the voice was clear and pleasant.

He turned around and saw a spirited woman in a yellow robe walking gracefully towards him.

Beside him followed a handsome young man with a tall and straight figure, but a trace of sorrow lingered between his brows.

"Senior Sister Qin, Senior Brother Qin."

Upon seeing the two, Yu Daoxuan bowed and greeted them.

The visitors were Qin Jingyi and Qin Jingxuan.

Several years have passed, and Qin Jingyi's cultivation has improved, reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, but Qin Jingxuan is still at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Upon seeing each other now, he suddenly remembered that the two of them were from Jiuyuan Continent, no wonder they could meet here.

"Junior Brother Yu came to Haiyue Island without informing us beforehand. We should have done our duty as hosts." Qin Jingyi feigned reproach, then continued, "I wonder if Junior Brother Yu has any important matters to attend to right now? If you have time, my sister and I will treat you to a meal at Zuixianlou to catch up."

"Senior brothers and sisters, you're too kind. It's only right that I treat you."

Yu Daoxuan did not refuse the invitation to reminisce.

The two people on the other end were local cultivators and well-informed, so he could get some information from them.

"How can that be? Junior Brother Yu is a guest from afar, so it is only right that we show him hospitality."

Qin Jingyi smiled and waved his hand, not allowing him to be modest.

The three walked and talked, and soon arrived at Zuixianlou.

Due to the large number of cultivators in the market, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was packed with guests, with both the first and second floors completely full.

However, Qin Jingyi and Qin Jingxuan are cultivators from the Qin family of Golden Crocodile Island. Their clan has a Purple Mansion Ancestor in charge, making them prominent figures in the continent.

The waiter at Zuixianlou recognized the Qin siblings at a glance and immediately invited them to the VIP room on the third floor with great respect and courtesy.

After taking their seats, Qin Jingyi asked first, "I assume Junior Brother Yu is here to attend the market fair. Does your sect have any other disciples participating?"

"I came here alone this time and have not yet met any members of our sect."

Yu Daoxuan replied truthfully.

Before long, all sorts of delicacies, spiritual dishes, and spiritual wines were served.

The three of them toasted each other, ate and chatted, and in the midst of their conversation, Yu Daoxuan finally learned the reason for Qin Jingxuan's furrowed brows.

It turns out that the other party had taken a Foundation Establishment Pill half a year ago to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but ultimately failed.

Therefore, he was depressed all day long, and his cultivation stagnated.

Yu Daoxuan also knew that taking the Foundation Establishment Pill could only increase the success rate by 20% to 30%, and could not guarantee 100% success.

He had no other choice but to offer words of comfort and encouragement, and drink a few more cups with Qin Jingxuan.

"Junior Brother Yu, in three days, Young Master Yunya of the Phoenix Heart Sect will be hosting a tea party at the Dragon and Phoenix Villa in the market. There will also be a trade fair after the tea party. Would you be interested in attending?"

Qin Jingyi discovered that Yu Daoxuan's cultivation was no weaker than his own, so he extended an invitation.

"Oh, may I participate as well?"

"Of course, this Dragon and Phoenix Tea Party invites young prodigies from all continents as well as some talented rogue cultivators to participate. As a senior disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, Junior Brother Yu is fully qualified to participate."

Qin Jingyi explained.

After a moment's thought, Yu Daoxuan agreed.

His main purpose in coming here was for high-level Five Elements treasures and Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.

Attending this gathering is a perfect opportunity to find the spiritual items you need.

They then agreed to meet here at noon three days later.

There is no never-ending feast.

As Yu Daoxuan walked out of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the market, he spoke to Qin Jingyi.

"Thank you for your hospitality, senior brothers and sisters. If you ever visit Nanming Continent in the future, I will definitely host a banquet for you."

Qin Jingyi smiled gently, her eyes bright and lively: "Okay, I'll definitely come and bother you then."

Qin Jingxuan then came to his senses and nodded.

Yu Daoxuan bowed and took his leave, heading towards the direction of Tianquan Blessed Land.

Upon reaching a fork in the road, Yu Daoxuan glanced around casually, then paused slightly in his tracks.

Amidst the bustling crowd on the street, a familiar figure flashed by.

"Yao Jingyuan?"

Yu Daoxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, this person managed to escape unscathed from the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Blood Shadow Island, which shows that he is no ordinary individual.

However, he showed no intention of approaching them for a chat.

Everyone has their own opportunities and resources; there's no need to delve too deeply into right and wrong.

Return to the blessed land of Tianquan and activate the cave formation.

Full of anticipation, he first took out Ding Zhen's storage bag and spirit beast bag.

He used his magic power to erase the magic mark in the other party's storage bag, and then probed into it with his divine sense.

The bag contained more than ten neatly arranged spiritual items.

The most eye-catching item was a golden flying sword.

The sword hilt is engraved with two simple, ancient characters: "Victory over Evil," indicating it is a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

In previous battles, he had personally witnessed the sword's divine power; its sword light was sharp and its ability to break through magic was extremely strong.

Among all mid-grade spiritual artifacts, it is also of the top level.

Behind it was a small pile of spirit stones, about 1,500 in total.

Finally, there was a lustrous jade box, along with seven or eight rare spiritual materials and minerals.

"The legacy of the Lingxiao Sect must be hidden in this jade box."

A glint of light flashed in Yu Daoxuan's eyes, filled with anticipation.

He took out the jade box and carefully activated his magical shield before opening it.

Inside the box lay a warm and translucent Heavenly Origin Stone, and a heavy, dark gold token.

The Heavenly Origin Stone is a special spiritual object that can record magical techniques and supernatural abilities, and can contain the true meaning of the spell caster's techniques.

Yu Daoxuan first took the Heavenly Origin Stone, gently placed it between his eyebrows, and immersed his consciousness into it.

In an instant, light and shadow flickered in his mind, and a vast phantom image appeared: a white-haired cultivator in a white crane brocade robe, forging a sword in mid-air atop a mountain peak.

Scenes of sword practice flashed through my mind, as if I were actually there.

This is a sword technique called the "Shangyuan Four Symbols Sword Art," which was once the supreme martial art of the Lingxiao Sect.

This sword technique is lofty in conception, integrating the power of the four elements of water, fire, wind, and thunder. Its moves are vast in power and fierce in killing, far surpassing the sect's Fiery Heavenly Gang Sword Technique in strength.

After comprehending the true meaning of the sword technique, he instantly felt that he had gained some new insights into the way of the sword.

However, it is not the time to forge the sword yet.

He picked up the dark gold token again.

The token is about the size of a palm, slightly heavy in the hand, and extremely smooth to the touch.

One side is engraved with a Tai Chi Yin-Yang pattern, while the other side is surrounded by intricate cloud patterns, with the two characters "Lingxiao" carved in the center.

Yu Daoxuan observed for a moment and then infused a wisp of divine consciousness and magical power into it.

The token instantly glowed with light, and a landscape map slowly appeared.
