I conquer the immortal with my strength

"If you use the Qi and blood power to forcefully open the Xiantian meridians, you can enter the immortal path, but the two forces merge together, like a mixture of clear and turbid. Not only is it impossible to build a foundation, but the power of the true Qi and magic power mixed with Qi and blood will also be much weaker when casting spells." Lu Jinglong replied.

"Tsk!" Xia Daoming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard it.

Fortunately, there was such a question, otherwise if you really rely on your strong strength and rashly open the Xiantian meridians, it would be too late to regret.

"So, if you really want to take the immortal path, and want to go far, you can only take the Qiling Pill. Using the power of the acquired world to open the Xiantian meridians is a method that is not worth the loss." Lu Jinglong continued.

"It seems that this is the only way." Xia Daoming nodded, and then his heart moved slightly, and asked: "By the way, have you heard of the middle dantian and the crimson palace?"

Lu Jinglong did not answer immediately after hearing this, but fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Lu Jinglong shook his head and said, "I've heard that the middle dantian is related to the heart. There is even a legend that in ancient times, a powerful person cultivated the middle dantian. But all I know is these few rumors, and I don't know the details.

For such rumors and secrets involving ancient times, it is estimated that only the three major sects with a long history may have some records."

"It seems that even if it is not for the immortal way, in order to continue on the path of martial arts, I have to find a way to join the three major sects in the future." Xia Daoming touched his chin and thought secretly.

Seeing Xia Daoming touching his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, Lu Jinglong hesitated and reminded him: "However, the three major sects have very strict conditions for accepting disciples. It is difficult to join the three major sects, and those who are qualified to read such secret records must be inner disciples.

Like you, practicing the entry-level skills first and then going to the mountain gate is a good way to join the three major sects. However, for people like this who have the skills first and then go to the mountain gate, it is easy to enter the outer gate, but it is much more difficult to enter the inner gate than the outer disciples who have been accepted by the mountain gate since childhood.

Most people stop at the outer gate and it is almost impossible to enter the inner gate, unless they can make contributions and be awarded the foundation-building skills, and then successfully build the foundation, they will be accepted into the inner gate, so if you really want to practice immortality again, you should think twice about choosing the skills."

"Sure enough, the three major sects are the three major sects, and the threshold is different!" Xia Daoming sighed after hearing this, and it was not too surprising.

This is just like the top higher education institutions in the previous life, and not everyone can go there!

Lu Jinglong looked at Xia Daoming with emotion and shook his head in silence.

Well, it seems that it was useless to say that, the young master is determined to go all the way!

"Let's talk about this later. I have to wait until I find the entry-level skills and the spiritual awakening pills before making plans. Now let's talk about exchanging for the foundation-building pill. Where should I go to exchange for this dark ice stone marrow?" Xia Daoming asked quickly.

Lu Jinglong was immediately inspired when he heard this, and said: "South of Muzhou is Qingzhou. There are many spiritual veins in Qingzhou, and there are many immortal cultivation forces, including Qingyuan Sect. Therefore, there are many immortal cultivation markets in Qingzhou. Generally, Qingyuan Sect will set up shops in large-scale markets. The closest and largest one to us is Yanyangling Market in Chiyun City. I have been to Yanyangling Market several times. It is much larger than our market here, and it has a full range of items. Qingyuan Sect also opened a branch of Lingrui Pavilion there. By the way, because the mountain gate of Qingyuan Sect is in Qingzhou, the entry-level skills of Qingyuan Sect are relatively the most widely spread in Qingzhou, and it should be easier to buy in the black market in Qingzhou." "Then let's go to Yanyangling Market! But there is no rush to go now. I will leave after you recover from your injuries." After hearing this, Xia Daoming thought about it and made a decision quickly. However, there is another reason for not leaving immediately, which Xia Daoming did not mention. That is, he should take advantage of this period of time to not only advance his realm to the eleventh level, but also strengthen several more meridians in the eleventh level as much as possible.

In this way, Xia Daoming conservatively estimated that with his strength, as long as he did not encounter a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, or a particularly abnormal cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, he should be able to deal with it easily. Even if the other party dared to underestimate him and attack him unexpectedly, it should not be a problem.

If Xia Daoming did not mention this reason, Lu Jinglong naturally had no way of knowing. He thought that Xia Daoming was thinking about the Lu family wholeheartedly, and he was very moved and hurriedly bowed his hands to thank him.

——

In the following days, Xia Daoming seemed to have nothing to do except taking medicine to nourish himself, strengthening his meridians, and deducing the changes in strength.

Ten days later, Xia Daoming completed the ninth level of meridian strengthening and entered the eleventh level with great momentum.

After entering the eleventh level, Xia Daoming had used up most of the elixirs he had previously stockpiled, so he asked for the location of the markets to the east and south of Wanluo Xianshan, and made a special trip to the markets to the east and south.

The conditions in the south of Wanluo Xianshan are slightly worse, with mostly independent cultivators and a chaotic flow of people.

The markets there are very chaotic, half-illegal and half-formal, and many people will take things of unknown origin to the south market to sell them.

Xia Daoming did find some powerful medicines in the south, but he was also targeted by several Qi Refining Middle-stage Tribulation Cultivators.

The result is naturally known, and those Tribulation Cultivators paid for his powerful medicines.

The conditions in the east are the best, with several powerful foundation-building forces. The markets there are higher-standard than those in Shizhulin and Tianqing, and there are many powerful medicines suitable for twelfth-level masters for sale, of course, the prices are also very high.

However, no matter how high the price is, it cannot withstand Xia Daoming's wealth now.

Of course, Xia Daoming should keep a low profile as much as possible.

After all, there are many foundation-building forces in the east. If they attract foundation-building monks, it will still be troublesome.

After returning from Nanmian and Dongmianfangshi, Xia Daoming basically stayed at home.

It's just that his eleventh-level martial arts is much more powerful than others' twelve-levels. The powerful medicines found in the market here in Wanluo Fairy Mountain will definitely not be able to support him to complete the ninth-level meridians of the eleventh-level realm. To strengthen, you still need to go to Dafang City in Yanyang Ridge in Qingzhou.

There must be higher levels of stronger drugs out there.

Another twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Xia Daoming's meridians had been strengthened to 60% of the fifth level, and there were not many powerful medicines left on hand.

Lu Jinglong's injuries have also recovered a lot.

With him in charge and the defensive formation, there won't be any problems unless the foundation-building monk personally brings people to attack.

Xia Daoming finally decided to leave.

But before leaving for Yanyang Ridge, Xia Daoming was homesick and wanted to go back to Licheng to get together with his family and report that he was safe before going to Qingzhou.

Speaking of which, in the blink of an eye, it has been two or three months since I left home.

Qingzhou is a long way away and the situation is complicated. This trip will probably take at least a month or two.

If you really have to wait until you go to Qingzhou before returning to Licheng, the interval will be too long, and your family will inevitably worry and miss you.

——

This time, Xia Daoming was in a hurry and did not ride on the dark clouds and snow.

He kept walking day and night, and with his terrifying foot strength, he arrived at a mountain outside Li City in just three days.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the familiar city in the distance, Xia Daoming felt inexplicably excited as a wanderer returning home.

Under the morning light, a winding official road extended outside the city, carrying a trace of night and morning dew that had not faded.

On the official road, carriages shuttled back and forth, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians.

Beside the road, on the vast fertile fields, farmers were busy farming with sweat.

Not far away, several villages are scattered among the greenery, with smoke rising from their cooking pots.

Children chase and play on the village paths.

Inside the city.

The morning sun shines on the stone-paved streets, and the golden light reflects the scattered buildings.

Traffickers, literati, and foreign business travelers were among the bustling crowds, but it was surprisingly lively.

Licheng is home to several masters, and they are all kind-hearted and righteous masters.

In just over a year, it seems that there is no trace of the disaster more than a year ago in Licheng, ushering in a prosperous era that is rare in a century.

Every day, Licheng is changing.

Even if Xia Daoming only left for two or three months, Licheng seemed to have changed a lot.

After coming down from the mountain, Xia Daoming was no longer in a hurry.

He walked leisurely on the official road outside the city, passed through the city gate, and walked among the bustling streets. Feeling the stability and prosperity of Licheng, he felt an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction in his heart.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Unintentionally, he, Xia Daoming, did the latter.

While walking, Xia Daoming suddenly stopped.

Not far ahead, two beautiful women were standing side by side in front of an osmanthus cake shop.

Suddenly, the two beautiful women seemed to have feelings at the same time and slowly turned back.

His eyes passed through the bustling crowd and fell on Xia Daoming.

"master!"

"Brother!"

Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue's eyes suddenly turned red and moist. Just as they were about to greet them with expressions of surprise, their eyes flashed. Xia Daoming, who didn't know when, had already passed through the crowd and stood in front of them.

"Go home!" Xia Daoming took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Liu Qiaolian's hand and returned to Tenglong Mansion with his two lovely wives.

During the day, Xia Daoming, Liang Jingtang and others got together and talked about Lu Ye in general, which made Liang Jingtang happy.

During this period, Xia Daoming distributed a lot of powerful medicines purchased from the market that were suitable for masters to take, which excited Ji Yuanzhen and others.

That night, Xia Daoming competed with his two wives until late at night.

When he woke up early the next morning, Xia Daoming suddenly remembered that the three of them had been separated for a long time last night and were newlyweds. He was so anxious to play cards that he forgot to give them two gifts.

So Xia Daoming quickly took out some formation scrolls and gave them to Liu Qiaolian, and some alchemy scrolls to Ji Wenyue.

The two got the gift they wanted and were so moved that they reciprocated the gift.

As a result, only three people got up after three poles in the sun.

After staying happily in Licheng for three days, Xia Daoming was finally worried about the Lu family being watched by wolves, so he set off for Qingzhou.

——

Qingzhou, Chiyun City.

The city lives up to its name.

To the west of it, every evening there is a flame rising to the sky, reflecting the clouds.

And that place is where Yanyang Ridge is located.

Halfway up Yanyang Ridge, there is an eternal flame surrounding it. It is said to be the place where immortal cultivators live. Mortals are not allowed to get close, as they will be burned by the flames if they get close.

On this day, Xia Daoming arrived at Yanyang Ridge wearing a black cloak that could cover his whole body.

"Sure enough, every city in the Immortal Cultivation State is different!" Xia Daoming stood in front of a faint flame halfway up the mountain, feeling the hot breath emanating from the flames. He couldn't help but secretly admired it, and then quietly started to move his energy.

The powerful shield covers the whole body.

Xia Daoming stepped through the flames.
