Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 95 A Tumultuous Time

The following day at noon.

The sky was clear and the breeze was warm.

Yu Daoxuan returned to Jiulan Mountain and went straight to the front hall.

A middle-aged cultivator wearing a Taoist hat and with a refined appearance stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky outside the window.

It was Cao Shen.

"Dao Xuan greets Martial Uncle Cao!"

Yu Daoxuan immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Previously, in Haiyue Island Market, the other party was still in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

It had been more than half a month since I last saw him, and his cultivation had improved significantly, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, with a deep and profound aura.

Cao Can turned around, a smile on his face, and said, "Dao Xuan, there's no need for such formalities. I've come here mainly to inquire about the Xuanmu Sect on behalf of our sect."

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan immediately recounted the entire story.

After hearing the strange inside story, Cao Shen's expression became even more solemn, and he gave a deep, stern warning.

"These are turbulent times. The demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect are wreaking havoc in the seas, frequently slaughtering cultivators and mortals. Dao Xuan is stationed outside, so we must be extremely careful."

"I will keep my uncle's teachings in mind!"

You can sense Cao Shen's concern.

The senior and junior disciples of the Yuzhen lineage loved each other and took good care of their younger generations.

"The sect has discovered that a young member of the Huang family in Jinyang is cultivating in the Hehuan Sect of Xuanyu Continent. This person is quite talented and is currently in the process of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. You should be extra careful."

Before leaving, Cao Shen seemed to remember something and gave him another piece of advice.

Yu Daoxuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

He was one of the key figures behind the downfall of the Huang family of Jinyang.

He kept this matter in mind, but felt no fear or worry whatsoever.

With his current cultivation level, the spiritual artifacts and talismans he possesses, and numerous trump cards, he might not be able to directly confront a fully-fledged early Foundation Establishment cultivator, but if he only seeks to protect himself and escape, he is more than capable.

With his mind at ease, Yu Daoxuan returned to the bamboo courtyard and devoted himself to cultivating the "Shangyuan Four Symbols Sword Technique".

This sword technique encompasses the power of the four elements: water, fire, wind, and thunder, and consists of a total of nineteen moves.

Each move contains countless variations, with the four elements rotating and generating each other, making it unparalleled in its killing power. It can be called the most outstanding sword technique in the Song Kingdom.

Correspondingly, it is not an easy task to master it.

Fortunately, the Blazing Heavenly Gang Sword Technique belongs to the extremely fierce and yang path, which is the same as the fire element sword style in the Upper Yuan Four Symbols Sword Technique.

Using this as a foundation makes it relatively easier to get started with the practice.

Limited by his cultivation level, he can currently only practice the first three forms.

These are Sword One: Water Dragon's Roar, Sword Two: Crimson Fire Burning the Sky, and Sword Three: Gale Shattering Shadow. The first two moves are mainly offensive, while the last one is mainly defensive.

Given that the Shangyuan Four Symbols Sword Technique contains the power of water, fire, wind, and thunder, he no longer used the fire-attribute Chongming Sword to cultivate, but instead took out the spiritual weapon flying sword "Shengxie" obtained from Ding Zhen.

This sword is a metal-element flying sword, made of extraordinary materials, and is perfectly suited for cultivating the Four Symbols Sword Technique.

For the next seven or eight days, Yu Daoxuan stayed indoors and devoted himself to cultivation.

During the day, he cultivates the Sword Refining Technique to solidify his cultivation, and at night he devotes himself to studying the Way of Talismans, making the Xuan Yin Talisman paper and talisman ink needed for the Six Souls Burial Demon Talisman.

The Xuan Yin Talisman Paper is made from Yin Huai Wood, Xuan Ming Cold Water, Xuan Ming Soil, and some second-tier auxiliary materials, which enhances the ability to draw Yin Sha Talismans.

The talisman ink was made primarily from the residual essence blood of Ding Zhen's second-tier white demon spirit sable, combined with other auxiliary materials.

Before the Xuan Yin talisman paper was made, he practiced drawing soul-transforming talismans on ordinary talisman paper.

Despite repeated failures, my proficiency has greatly improved.

On this day, Yu Daoxuan offered up the Mysterious Female Pearl and held the Essence Pill in his mouth.

He wielded the talisman brush and drew purplish-red talismanic patterns on the black Xuan Yin talisman paper.

He was so focused that he had used up most of his magical power, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The moment the last purplish-red rune was completed, the entire talisman paper suddenly flashed with black light, bursting forth with a chilling spiritual pressure that pierced straight to the soul.

"call!"

Yu Daoxuan let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a happy expression.

He drew the talisman dozens of times with ordinary talisman paper, and then more than ten times with Xuan Yin talisman paper. He kept trying despite repeated failures.

Fortunately, perseverance pays off, and a Soul-Dissolving Talisman was successfully created today.

This talisman is currently classified as a second-tier low-grade talisman, with slightly stronger power than other talismans of the same tier and extraordinary effects.

It can not only resist attacks on the soul, but also attack the enemy's soul from a distance.

Those who are affected suffer severe damage to their consciousness at best, and their souls are completely destroyed at worst; it is truly insidious and domineering.

In addition, the Soul Transformation Talisman is also a type of precious talisman.

After releasing it once, you can use the power in your dantian to nourish and restore it.

If used properly, this Soul Transformation Talisman can threaten cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

However, the higher the grade of the talisman, the higher the requirements for spiritual sense and magical power.

With his current cultivation level, he can only use it once at most.

After one time, more than half of the magical power in the body will be consumed, and the divine sense will also be greatly damaged.

Therefore, in a one-on-one fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is virtually impossible to kill them with this talisman; it can only be used as a trump card for surprise attacks and survival.

After drawing the talisman, Yu Daoxuan immediately took the elixir and sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Once his cultivation had mostly recovered, the array restrictions outside the cave suddenly trembled slightly, and a golden beam of light rushed in.

As soon as he sensed it, he immediately raised his hand and sent a message from the sect elder through his communication flying sword.

It turns out that the sect's forces were constantly being attacked by the Blood Refining Hall, a branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Therefore, it was ordered that the garrison commanders stationed in various towns be organized into formations to patrol the islands under their jurisdiction and strictly prevent demon cultivators from causing trouble.

He then ordered all those stationed outside the island to gather at Jinyang Island three days later to await further orders.

"These are turbulent times!"

After hearing the order, Yu Daoxuan sighed softly.

""

A month later, Yu Daoxuan, along with fellow disciples surnamed Yu and Luo Cheng, patrolled the Jiuqu Bay area near Jinyang Island.

The Jiuqu Bay area is dotted with islands and has a complex network of waterways stretching for seven or eight hundred miles. It is a frequent site for raiders to plunder and pillage.

However, this sea area is rich in spirit fish, spirit turtles and other rare sea treasures, with resources far exceeding those of other sea areas. This time, he was assigned to a Foundation Establishment team with a fellow disciple named He Jingxian.

After spending several days together, Yu Daoxuan did not like this person very much.

Born into a clan, he was arrogant, ambitious, and inconsiderate of his fellow disciples.

Oh no, it should be that they don't care about fellow disciples who are not from the same clan.

For this reason, the ordinary disciples of the same lineage, including the one surnamed Yu, all harbored some resentment.

That afternoon, Yu Daoxuan, along with his fellow disciple surnamed Yu and Luo Cheng, inspected several surrounding islands. After confirming that there were no traces of demon cultivators, they sailed back on their spirit boat, preparing to return to their base on Jinyang Island.

Just after rounding a winding seaway between two islands, a fleet of ships appeared in the sea ahead.

The opposing side had four or five Tier 1 spirit ships sailing on the sea. The mast of the foremost ship was raised high with a large flag bearing four large characters: Yiping Cai Family.

The Cai family of Yiping is a clan specializing in alchemy in the vicinity, and they were previously affiliated with the Huang family of Jinyang.

It is reasonable for the other party to appear in the waters of Jiuqu Bay.

Jiuqu Bay is rich in resources, and it has long been common for major cultivation families and independent cultivators from near and far to come here to collect marine spiritual items.

However, Yu Daoxuan noticed something amiss with the Cai family.

To be precise, it was the ear-mouse inside his spirit beast pouch that first noticed the anomaly and began to stir restlessly inside the pouch.

Monsters have stronger senses than humans.

The ear-mouse is endowed with a special talent: it can hear the wind and distinguish the air, and its sensory abilities are far superior to those of other monsters.

Therefore, Yu Daoxuan immediately became alert.

After the two ships passed each other, Yu Daoxuan remained calm and silently used his stone eyes to peer into the interior of the spirit ship.

Under the stone eye, all disguises are exposed.

Three cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining were hidden in the shadows of the Cai family's spirit ship, their faces filled with a fierce aura.

In addition, there were more than a dozen sealed treasure chests beside the three of them, all filled with Blood Infant Pills, which emitted wisps of bloody stench.

The Blood Infant Pill is an evil pill invented by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, made primarily from the blood and flesh of infants.

A cultivator's storage bag is usually only a few square meters in size, roughly the size of three or four eight-immortal tables.

There were more than a dozen treasure chests, which couldn't even fit into three or four storage bags, so you can imagine how many Blood Infant Pills were inside.

Yu Daoxuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he silently transmitted his voice to his fellow disciple surnamed Yu beside him, instructing him to immediately notify other fellow disciples nearby to come to the scene.

At the same time, he and Luo Cheng rode the spirit ship, steadily blocking the Cai family's fleet and stopping them.
