This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

A twelve-zhang (approximately 33 meters) dantian (energy center) is unprecedented in history.

Li Daoxuan was also unsure whether martial arts existed in this strange world, or whether the path of cultivation was the same.

But he instinctively felt that these twelve zhang of dantian might have a very different meaning.

Without much thought, now that the dantian had been opened, the next step was to refine the true qi and fill the dantian as quickly as possible.

Li Daoxuan glanced back at the bead; its light had dimmed considerably compared to before.

Judging from the rate at which its power is dissipating, this bead will completely lose its effectiveness in at most three months.

At that time, we will either capture living people to sacrifice, pray to this evil god, and ask for divine power.

We must find a way to resist the undercurrents.

"If we could draw talismans, everything would be easily resolved..."

Li Daoxuan once again thought of Taoist magic.

I tried to recall, but my mind remained a complete blank.

After giving up in desperation, Li Daoxuan took out the Hundred Spirit Fruit, a rare and precious herb with excellent effects in martial arts cultivation. Based on its medicinal power, it could save him at least a month of arduous training.

After calming his blood and qi, Li Daoxuan ate the Hundred Spirit Fruit without hesitation.

Then, select a suitable cultivation method for the Qi Refining Realm in your mind.

Li Daoxuan did not choose any existing cultivation method, but instead selected a brand-new martial arts cultivation method that he had compiled based on his experience from his previous life.

It can be considered a technique that traces back to the origins and returns to the fundamentals of martial arts cultivation.

Li Daoxuan gave it a name, which was called Guiyuan Gong.

Although he didn't remember how he circulated his energy when he cultivated Taoist arts in his previous life, his thoughts seemed to have inertia.

The first time I practiced Qi, I was very skilled and it went extremely smoothly.

There was no obstruction whatsoever.

Once the first wisp of true energy was refined from his flesh and blood essence and guided into his dantian, the progress of energy refining became unstoppable.

The medicinal power of the Hundred Spirit Fruit was rapidly refined, and true energy was continuously generated.

One strand, two strands...

After one night, when Li Daoxuan withdrew from the internal cultivation, the true qi stored in his dantian had reached one-third of its original amount.

In other words, he completed one-third of the journey of the fourth level of martial arts in one night.

The effects of the Hundred Spirit Fruit were partly due to this, but the main reason was Li Daoxuan's own actions.

Even if you lose your memory, the knowledge and instincts from your previous life will still remain.

This is more exaggerated than any talent or cheat.

Waking up from his training, Li Daoxuan felt the explosive power within him and the martial arts true energy circulating freely in his body, a faint smile appearing on his face.

This amount of power, though insignificant to him in the past, now gives him the means to survive in this world.

"We've run out of spirit fruit, time to go out and see if we can find anything good..."

Having broken through the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, Li Daoxuan was able to travel to even more distant places.

This would give them the opportunity to obtain even better rare and precious materials.

Carrying a bamboo basket on his back and a sharp knife in his hand, Li Daoxuan went out.

Wherever he went, every household in the village kept their doors tightly shut, not daring to even glance at him.

Li Daoxuan left the village as if nothing had happened, and then began to run wildly.

With true qi, Li Daoxuan could leap more than ten zhang away with a single step.

The speed is far greater than before.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the spot where he had gathered the Hundred Spirit Fruits last time.

After searching around without finding any other medicinal herbs, they continued to explore deeper.

After walking for another hour, they finally reaped the rewards.

On a precipice, there grows a small but extremely gnarled and ancient tree with three purple fruits on it.

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he blurted out the answer instinctively.

"Purple Qi Thunder Fruit? There's actually such a spiritual fruit here?"

The Purple Qi Thunder Fruit is already considered the top-tier Spirit-grade Heavenly Treasure among the four grades of Heavenly Treasures: Immortal, Divine, Spirit, and Mortal.

In some aspects, it is even better than some divine and rare natural treasures.

For example, tempering the body and increasing physical strength.

The Purple Qi Thunderberry contains a wisp of heavenly thunder power, which can stimulate flesh and bones, causing them to undergo a certain degree of transformation, making the body more vibrant and stronger.

Moreover, after being refined into true qi, the true qi can also carry a trace of the residual power of thunder.

Li Daoxuan had only ever seen this level of spiritual medicine in the Desolate Ancient Mountains during his many years of traveling the world.

A question suddenly arose in Li Daoxuan's mind.

Since there are countless medicinal herbs in this world, and the mountains and forests are not lacking in wild beasts.

Did these wild beasts not undergo a transformation after accidentally consuming spiritual fruits, thus becoming strange beasts?

Why have we only seen ordinary beasts along the way, and not any exotic beasts at all?

Otherwise, such rare and precious materials would surely be guarded by powerful mythical beasts.

Li Daoxuan instinctively felt that there must be something fishy going on here.

However, this was not the time to worry about such things. He glanced at the location of the cliff and immediately began to gather vines to pick the spirit fruit.

With everything prepared, Li Daoxuan tied himself to the vines and climbed down the edge of the cliff.

Despite some close calls, we successfully picked three Purple Thunder Berries.

However, just as Li Daoxuan was about to climb up, the vines binding him suddenly trembled.

Li Daoxuan was startled and looked up, but there was nothing on the cliff top.

Li Daoxuan steadied himself and began to increase his speed.

Just as it was about to climb up, the vine swayed once more.

This time it was clearly more intense than the last time.

"Who is it? Show yourself..."

Li Daoxuan roared, and the sound waves echoed through the valley.

But he was met with deathly silence.

Li Daoxuan also remained motionless on the cliff face, his eyes fixed on the sky.

Just as he thought it might be some wild beast that had accidentally bumped into it, a faint light suddenly flashed from the ceiling.

It flashed by so quickly that I couldn't see what it was.

Li Daoxuan was shocked. He felt a sudden loosening of his body as the vines snapped.

The feeling of weightlessness came instantly, and the whistling wind in his ears was like the death knell before his demise, making his mind waver.

The cliff was at least a hundred feet high, and with his current physique, falling off it would almost certainly mean certain death.

After a moment of panic, Li Daoxuan quickly calmed down.

With a twist of the waist and abdomen, he used his powerful core strength to turn himself around.

After scanning the environment at the bottom of the cliff, Li Daoxuan almost felt despair.

The ground was bare and covered with sharp rocks; there were no trees to hold onto, and falling down would surely mean certain death.

Just as he was about to despair, Li Daoxuan saw a protruding rock on the cliff face, and his eyes lit up.

This may be his only way out.

The internal energy circulated and instantly covered both arms.

Just as his body passed by the protruding rock, Li Daoxuan suddenly exerted force with both hands and grabbed the rock.

Its five fingers formed claws, gripping the crack in the rock tightly.

With the immense downward force and the added strength of his arm, the rock could not withstand the pressure and broke off.

He fell off the cliff again.
