Immortal Refiner

In the southern part of Qingling Domain, there is a mortal kingdom covered with snow all year round, named Mu Kingdom.

This mortal kingdom has a long history and has survived for thousands of years. Generations of kings have worked hard to govern the country, and all mortals live and work in peace and contentment.

As the end of the year approaches, every household lights lanterns on the cold winter night. The bright and warm lights bloom in the cold night, like stars dotted on the dark earth.

This is a year of harvest. After a whole year of busyness, they can spend this cold winter safely, with warmth and satisfaction, without worrying about hunger and cold.

At the junction of the two domains, on the endless snow-capped mountains, an old Taoist priest with a withered face and a weak breath slowly walked out.

"For so many years, even the snow-capped mountains are gradually melting, and the sea has turned into mulberry fields." The old Taoist priest looked at the white snow-capped night scene around him with a nostalgic tone.

"I still remember that an old friend was buried here in ice, but now he has disappeared without a trace. Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye."

The death aura on his body became more and more intense, and he looked like a dead bone in a tomb.

This state did not allow him to continue to sigh and reminisce. He needed to collect the great medicine of the human world to temporarily delay the arrival of his death.

Otherwise, he would probably die halfway through his ascension and be buried in the turbulence of the endless void, without even the chance of reincarnation.

He would not easily miss the opportunity of ascension that he had waited for so many years.

Thinking in this way, the figure of the old Taoist Xu Xuan had disappeared from the top of the snow mountain.

His first stop was the Mu Kingdom adjacent to the snow mountain. The great medicine of the human world he needed was here.

"I smell the fragrance of the human body's medicine, with warmth and satisfaction. This is the best nourishment to delay the decline of my physical body."

The old Taoist Xu Xuan stood on the top of the wall of an ancient city. He looked at the warm lives of every household in the city below, and then opened his mouth.

In the city, a hunter's house, the stove inside was steaming, and steaming meat was cooking in it.

On the wall hung a series of furs stripped from the prey, very complete, and there was no lack of high-quality furs, which could be sold at a good price at the New Year's Market next year.

The old hunter looked at all this with a satisfied smile on his face, picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks and was about to scoop up the fragrant meat from the pot.

Bang!

The old hunter fell to the ground after taking a few steps, and the bowls and chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Uh, me." The old hunter looked at a loss. He felt his whole body was cold, and the blazing fire during the visit could not bring him a bit of warmth.

He thought of a time in his early years when he was chasing a wounded snow fox and fell into a natural ice cave. He spent two days and two nights in it, cold and hungry. Now he felt exactly the same as then!

How could it be. I'm obviously at home, not hunting in the snowy mountains.

The old hunter opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. His eyes gradually became cloudy, and finally fell on his fingers.

This is not his hand that can draw a strong bow. He can't recognize it himself. His fingers are dry and bloodless, and his palm is completely deflated.

Not only his hands, but his whole body is like this, completely turned into a bag of skin and bones.

In the city, in another simple house, a scholar is reading at night with a candle.

An old woman beside him was knitting a sweater by the remaining candlelight. The cold wind leaked in from time to time through the gaps between the bricks and tiles, but it could not affect the concentration of the two.

"Mom, it's getting late, you should rest early." The scholar said while turning the pages of the book in his hand.

The old woman said kindly: "Wait a little longer, you can wear this new dress to take the exam next year."

"If your father was still alive, he would be very happy to know that there is a scholar in our family."

When the scholar heard this, his eyes showed determination.

"Don't worry, mom."

Before he finished speaking, the needle and thread in the old woman's hand fell to the ground, making a messy sound.

The scholar was startled and turned his head to see that his mother had fallen to the ground.

"Mom!" He quickly put down the book in his hand and wanted to help her, but before he took a few steps, his legs suddenly lost strength and fell to the ground.

Bang!

"Mother" The scholar didn't know why, and suddenly he lost his strength. The sound he made was not as loud as the firewood burning in the stove.

His vision quickly blurred, and his cold body could not move, as if he fell into an ice cellar.

In a certain mansion, there were all kinds of festive stickers posted here, which was a wedding scene.

In the mansion, the groom on the wedding night walked into his bridal chamber in high spirits. He looked at the bride sitting at the head of the bed, wearing a veil, and his face showed excitement.

He walked forward step by step, intending to lift the veil and take a look at the style of this bride who married him.

However, before he got close, his body suddenly lost all his strength and fell down for no reason.

Bang!

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't make any sound.

His vision quickly blurred, and he looked at the bride he married, very puzzled, not knowing why this happened.

The bride wearing a red veil seemed to have sensed something. She wanted to take the initiative to lift her veil, but she found that her legs and feet were weak and she fell on the bed unconsciously.

Things like this happened all over the ancient city!

In every building, men, women, old and young, all fell to the ground, and all the vitality in their bodies disappeared.

On the top of the city, the old Taoist Xu Xuan showed a satisfied look on his face. He sucked the essence of all the living people in the ancient city in one breath, and turned it all into food to replenish his own vitality.

"The human body is really precious."

"Even mortals are like this, the essence of other immortals will be more effective."

The thick essence sank into his mouth and nose, and his body stopped the trend of decay and regained vitality.

Not long after, this ancient city completely became a dead city, and there was no one alive.

The old Taoist Xu Xuan became more energetic, but this was far from enough. He needed to devour more and more human essence to replenish himself.

Ascension was imminent, he had to go all the way north, whether it was the mortal ancient city or the Taoist tradition of immortal cultivation, he had to swallow them all together.

"I will attack the path of ascension with the most peak and prosperous attitude. Only when I reach the spiritual world can I really survive!" The face of the old Taoist Xu Xuan became indifferent, and then his figure swept out again, flying towards the northern sky.

Along the way, all the ancient mortal cities he encountered were swallowed up by him, leaving no one alive.

From the ancient times when he was self-enclosed to today, his heart has long been colder and harder than iron and stone. Even the tearful scene could not touch his heart at all!

For his own ascension, even if he turned into a demon of destruction, what would it matter?

No one could stop him, and some casual cultivators he met along the way were also sucked dry by him.

"The essence that the immortal cultivators can provide is really good. The spiritual energy in this area is still prosperous, and there must be many immortal cultivation sects." The old Taoist Xu Xuan muttered to himself, and picked up a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage with blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

He broke through the other party's sea of ​​consciousness and easily extracted all the memories.

Soon, he knew the addresses of some immortal cultivation families and markets in the surrounding areas clearly.

"There is such a prosperous immortal sect in this area? Don't miss it!" Taoist Xu Xuan said to himself, with satisfaction in his eyes.

Along the way, Taoist Xu Xuan continued to go north. He found the addresses of several immortal cultivation families according to the memories he had just obtained.

The strongest among these immortal cultivation families are just a few cultivators in the foundation-building period, and the protective formation is even more insignificant.

For the Taoist Xu Xuan, who has a profound Taoism, these do not constitute any obstacles at all.

He mobilized the boundless magic power in his body and pointed a finger at the valley below.

Boom!

The whole valley shook and vibrated, and the formation base quickly collapsed and annihilated, revealing the true appearance of the valley.

"Who? How dare you invade my Cui family's land!" An angry voice resounded from the valley, like thunder.

The old Taoist Xu Xuan was unmoved, he still opened his mouth, and an inexplicable suction force gushed out of his mouth.

In the entire Cui family's land, all the cultivators staggered, and then fell to the ground, the essence in their bodies leaked out, all of which sank into the mouth and nose of the old Taoist Xu Xuan.

For a great man who had achieved the God Transformation Stage in ancient times, these low-level cultivators were not much different from mortals.

After a while, the old Taoist Xu Xuan slowly closed his mouth, and his face glowed with a little luster again.

In the entire valley, there was only one old man with white hair who struggled to crawl out of a cave, his face full of fear.

"How could it be? How could it be like this? Who did our Cui family offend?"

The head of the Cui family, who should have been in his prime, was now hoarse and didn't even know what had happened.

After doing all this, the old Taoist Xu Xuan did not linger and rushed to the gathering place of other cultivators nearby.

The next target was a market, which was named after the red leaf forest around it, called the Red Leaf Market.

There were often many casual cultivators trading in this market, and there were even cultivators in the foundation-building period.

The old Taoist Xu Xuan came to the red leaf forest and pointed a finger with a calm face.

Boom!

The prohibition of the Red Leaf Market was easily broken again, and the casual cultivators and some vendors inside were all panicked and ready to escape at the first time.

"The market restriction has been broken. Could it be that a Jindan cultivator is here to rob?"

"Run quickly. Maybe it's a robber cultivator from the Great Wilderness. Inform Lingyun Sect about this!"

"Hey, my Guangling Pill! You haven't given me the spirit stone yet?!"

The market was in chaos, but soon the noisy noise stopped. All the cultivators fell to the ground for no reason and could no longer move!

The abundant essence in their bodies was sucked clean by the old Taoist Xuxuan.

Next, the old Taoist Xuxuan swept across the entire southern snow area of ​​Qingling Territory in a very short time.

Along the way, whether it was the ancient city of mortals or the place where immortal cultivators gathered, they could not escape his clutches and all turned into dry bones.

Among them, there were even unlucky Jindan cultivators who were not spared.

The old Taoist Xuxuan explained the saying very well: everyone below the stage of transformation is an ant!

As a small group of people at the top of the human world, once they start to destroy the world, who can resist? !

Gradually, there are not many survivors in the snowy area in the southern part of Qingling Territory. Only a few mortal villages and towns, or some more primitive tribes have survived this disaster.

But he is not satisfied with this!

"It's not enough. We have to absorb all the energy from Lingyun Sect. Only then can we complete our mission."

Xu Xuan looked far to the north. His spirit and energy were much better than when he just broke the seal.

At least now, the death energy on his body was much weaker, and his decaying body was shining a little. He no longer looked like a dying man.

With this in mind, he set his final goal on Lingyun Sect.
