Immortal Refiner

Master Fu Xuan passed away after three years of bed rest.

Chu Lingyi, holding a white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, had tears in her eyes and kept sobbing and calling for the word "Master".

Master Fu Xuan, who was obsessed with talismans, actually had several decades to live, but unfortunately he forcibly drew a fourth-level spiritual talisman, which caused the talisman power to backfire and his soul to suffer irreversible trauma.

So far, Lingyun Sect has lost a master in the late Jindan stage, a real pillar and the person with the highest attainments in the talisman field of the entire sect.

Seven days later, snow-white talisman paper scattered all over the back mountain of Lingyun Sect, and a master of Jindan was buried.

This incident caused a great uproar in the entire Qingling Domain's cultivation world. Many people lamented that if they did not truly become immortals, even the strongest people would die one day.

"Master Fu Xuan has passed away. He was a true master of the art of talismans. At an auction, several third-level talismans drawn by this senior were sold at sky-high prices."

"The giant of the art of talismans has fallen. Lingyun Sect has lost a supreme elder who can stand on his own."

"Is it a sign that prosperity will inevitably decline? I heard that the powerful Wuji Patriarch of Lingyun Sect has not appeared for decades."

"Hush, don't say that!"

"In fact, the peerless tiger ancestor who was raised by the Wuji Patriarch at the gate of Lingyun Sect has also disappeared for many years."

The immortal cultivation world in Qingling Domain speculated about this matter, and everyone had different opinions.

Some people think that Lingyun Sect has begun to go downhill and is no longer as powerful as before.

Of course, some people think that Lingyun Sect is just hiding its strength and the reason why the Wuji Patriarch did not show up is that he is just trying to reach the God Transformation Stage.

After all, it is normal for a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage to be in seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years.

However, the saying that Lingyun Sect will decline after reaching its peak seems to have been guided by someone with unknown intentions. There is even a rumor in the outside world that the Wuji ancestor of Lingyun Sect died in the heavenly tribulation of the impact of the Spiritualization Stage!

Once this outrageous statement came out, countless casual cultivators were shocked and kept silent. They retreated and did not dare to participate in this topic.

You must know that even if the current Lingyun Sect is not as peak as in the past, it is still the well-deserved overlord of the immortal way.

This is a topic that cannot be touched. If the law enforcement disciples of Lingyun Sect catch the flaw, the consequences will be quite serious.

In response, Lingyun Sect did not respond, and did not speak out specifically to stop the groundless rumors.

The attitude of always keeping silent is like a quiet mountain, standing safely, and not being moved by any rumors from the outside world.

This kind of confident attitude finally made the rumors fall apart.

In a blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed.

It has been fifty years since Li Qing fell into deep sleep. Lingyun Sect's outer disciples have been replaced several times. Some have been promoted to inner disciples, and their path has progressed rapidly and successfully built their foundations, but more people have remained in the late stage of Qi Refining for life, slowly aging with regrets.

In recent years, many new forces have emerged in the Qingling Domain's immortal cultivation world.

Some independent cultivators have successfully built their foundations, occupied a spiritual vein, and established a new immortal cultivation family.

There are also small chambers of commerce from foreign regions that have moved in, opened doors in various markets, and started various businesses.

Among these forces, the most popular one is a force called Jinxuanmen. This is actually an immortal sect that was established right under the nose of Lingyun Sect, which is really shocking.

The origin of Jinxuanmen is unknown. They traded a second-level spiritual vein from a declining immortal cultivation family, and used it as a foundation to establish a sect!

Not only that, the Jinxuan Sect also held a sect opening ceremony and an ascension meeting, looking like they were recruiting disciples and claiming to be the ancestor.

Although Lingyun Sect has never banned other forces from establishing sects in Qingling Domain, the appearance of the Jinxuan Sect is really the first time in history.

Most of the casual cultivators are waiting and watching, waiting for the destruction of the Jinxuan Sect with a joke attitude, and dare not participate in the so-called ascension meeting and the opening ceremony of the Jinxuan Sect.

But money can move people's hearts. The Jinxuan Sect actually took out five foundation-building pills as rewards for the sect's ascension meeting. Anyone who stands out in the ascension meeting can get them!

For a time, the Qingling Domain's cultivation world was turbulent.

Many cultivators who have ambitions for foundation building are eager to participate in the Jinxuan Sect's ascension meeting regardless of some risks.

"That's a foundation-building pill. If I get it, I may be able to set foot on the foundation-building stage in this life."

"I'll fight. I'm nearly fifty years old. If I can enter the immortal sect, I may be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and even have a glimpse of hope for foundation-building."

"As cultivators of our generation, we should face difficulties and move forward without fear of danger!"

Because of these five foundation-building pills, there are indeed many low-level casual cultivators who have been trapped in the Qi Refining stage for many years who went to Jinxuanmen to sign up for the Ascension Conference.

And Lingyun Sect was also very surprised by the sudden appearance of Jinxuanmen.

"What a Jinxuanmen, it really set a precedent in Qingling Domain. It dared to recruit disciples and establish a sect under the nose of my Lingyun Sect." Xu Xia narrowed his eyes, thinking that this matter was quite strange.

Some rumors about Lingyun Sect in the past few years made him wary, and now the sudden appearance of Jinxuanmen made him think deeply.

"Being able to take out five foundation-building pills as rewards for the Ascension Conference is not something that an ordinary cultivator can do."

"An outsider Jindan Zhenren? What is his purpose? It can't be that he is just establishing a sect?"

As the head of the sect, Xu Xia always has a lot to consider, especially since the Jinxuan Sect may involve Zhenren in the Jindan stage, whose level is not low and cannot be taken lightly.

A few days later, Xu Xia selected several trusted inner disciples from the sect. They were all cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. They had good character. With the several top-grade magic weapons he gave them, their combat power was far beyond the reach of ordinary Qi Refining casual cultivators.

He sent these Qi Refining disciples to the Jinxuan Sect to sign up for the Ascension Conference and asked them to go and find out about the general situation of the Jinxuan Sect.

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

Just after these disciples set off, an elder of foreign affairs came to report: "Report to the head master, Uncle Wu asked me to come and tell you that he has already set off for Jinxuanmen."

When these words came out, Xu Xia's face changed drastically, and he felt that things seemed to be a little bad.

There was only one supreme elder named Wu in Lingyun Sect, and that was naturally Wu Chong!

"Go and stop Senior Brother Wu, forget it, I'll go by myself, you tell the other supreme elders about this matter, and ask them to ask Su Xin Patriarch to come out of the mountain!"

After saying that, Xu Xia flew away, leaving the elder of foreign affairs with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Jinxuanmen, located in the northwest of Qingling Territory, is adjacent to the vast grassland, and there are several second-level spiritual veins.

The Jinxuanmen, which occupies one of the second-level spiritual veins, held a grand meeting of ascension to immortality. Because of the five foundation-building pills, it was quite impressive and attracted many casual cultivators to come.

"Haha, the spirit-sucking and soul-locking formation of the Great Wilderness Demon Sect is really extraordinary. Once this formation is set up, it can not only lock the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein from leaking out, but also absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world."

"In time, the spiritual energy of this second-level spiritual vein may be as rich as that of the third-level spiritual vein!"

A rough laugh rang out, and a strong man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at everything around him with satisfaction.

"Of course, it's a pity that my formation attainments are still not good enough. Otherwise, I can communicate with the earth veins with the formation patterns, and even directly attract the spiritual energy thousands of miles away, and slowly drain the other spiritual veins in the surrounding areas."

"Once this formation is set up, it will cause the spiritual energy in the surrounding areas to gradually dry up. This move is against the will of heaven and has long been listed as a forbidden formation in the Great Wilderness. I'm afraid that Lingyun Sect."

A formation master with a fairy-like appearance responded with a little hesitation.    The sturdy man didn't care about this at all, and said confidently: "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own considerations."

"Next, let's just hold this Ascension Conference."

A few days later, just when the Ascension Conference of Jinxuan Sect was about to be held, a strong breath descended.

Boom!

"Where is the leader of Jinxuan Sect? Since you have established a sect in my Qingling Region, why don't you show up and meet Wu?"

Wu rushed over, his aura was very strong, and his late Jindan cultivation swept out, causing countless casual cultivators who came to participate in the Ascension Conference to change their faces.

"Damn it, the Jindan-stage supreme elder of Lingyun Sect is here, and the Ascension Conference hasn't started yet!"

"It's over, won't the Jinxuan Sect be destroyed directly?"

"An elder in the late Jindan period, the Jinxuan Sect is afraid of being in danger!"

A large number of casual cultivators took a breath of cold air and looked up at the sky with a strong shock in their hearts.

A figure surrounded by four gluttonous beasts came forward, with a terrifying aura that overwhelmed the entire territory of Jinxuanmen.

Wu Chong has now reached the late stage of Jindan, and his attainments in "Taotie Magic" are not even inferior to those of the former Tuntian Patriarch.

He came here with great force, and his purpose was obvious, that is, he wanted to weigh the quality of Jinxuanmen.

Not long after, a loud and arrogant laugh resounded through the world in Jinxuanmen:

"Hahahahaha, isn't this the senior Wu who wanted to take me as his disciple?"

"Nearly a hundred years have passed, and you are still standing still in the Jindan stage. It's really hard for you."

Boom!

Along with this crazy laugh, an equally strong aura emerged!

A sturdy man with strange patterns all over his upper body stepped forward. He had a wild temperament, like a warrior who came out of the wilderness, primitive and violent.

After seeing this somewhat familiar face, Wu Chong finally remembered who this person was.

A genius who abandoned Lingyun Sect, with a wild bone battle body and a peerless talent of heavenly spiritual roots, Shi Zuming!

"It's you! How dare you set foot in Qingling Domain?!" Wu Chong shouted in a deep voice.

Shi Zuming, a wild bone battle body, sneered and sacrificed a huge bone stick, which was stained with deep bloodstains. It was unknown what kind of monster it came from.

"Is this domain a life restricted area? Why don't I dare to come?"

Shi Zuming has now cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan, and is not far from the late stage of Jindan!

At this moment, Wu Chong remembered this person's amazing talent, which is a heavenly spiritual root plus a powerful Taoist body.

In just a hundred years, he actually went from the perfection of the Qi training stage to the middle stage of Jindan in one fell swoop, which is a bit exaggerated.

This person must have had some luck, otherwise even with such a terrifying talent, it would be impossible to cultivate so fast.

"Hmph, I want to ask, what do you mean by Jinxuan Sect?" Wu Chong said coldly.

Shi Zuming responded without showing any weakness: "It means literally, what? Does Qingling Domain not allow others to establish a sect?"

"Does your Lingyun Sect really think that you are the only one in power? And call out that Wuji senior. I want to ask him if he regrets not accepting me as a disciple."

When Wu Chong heard this person mention Li Qing, his anger surged.

"Okay, okay, I want to see if you have the ability to establish a sect in Qingling Domain!"

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Chong's hands surged with magic power, and the four Taotie beasts on his waist rushed out directly.

"Roar!"

The four Taotie instantly grew larger, their bodies covered the sky and the sun, covering all the clouds and mist.

Facing these four beasts that seemed to want to destroy the world, Shi Zuming was not afraid at all, but slapped the bone stick in his hand with a grim smile.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a few seconds, the rhythmic sound of the bone stick activated the wild bone fighting blood in his body.

Then, the veins all over his body also turned red.

"Kill!"

This cultivator with a wild bone fighting body immediately showed a terrifying fighting power far beyond the cultivators of the same level.

He swung the bone stick in his hand, the wild bone fighting blood in his body boiled, and huge power surged out. Every swing could easily break a mountain.

Bang!

The first Taotie beast that rushed over was smashed to pieces by his brutal stick, turning into a rain of light all over the sky.

The remaining three Taotie beasts began to bite his flesh, but no matter how these Taotie gnawed, they could not leave even a scar on his body.

The flesh body is comparable to a magic weapon, and it is extremely tough.

"Hahaha, little Daoer!"

Man Gu Zhenren laughed wildly, and grabbed a Taotie with his extremely savage hands, and actually used brute force to grab it and explode it.

The remaining two were also smashed by him with a stick.

At this moment, he showed the majesty of the Man Gu battle body to the fullest. This is a natural body cultivation. Even if he does not practice body cultivation techniques specifically, he can have a terrifying physique.

Looking at this scene, Wu Chong's face changed drastically. He knew that there was some trouble today. This person's body cultivation realm is even comparable to a fourth-level monster.

Coupled with his magic power cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he might be able to fight against a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

"If I had stayed in Lingyun Sect, how could I have come to this point today."

"It seems that the decision I made before was not wrong."

In just a hundred years, he has acquired the combat power close to that of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. This is indeed not something that can be obtained by staying in Lingyun Sect and worshipping a great elder as a teacher.

This person must have had other experiences, and there may even be other great cultivators behind him.

Although Wu Chong acted a little recklessly, he was definitely not a fool. He quickly figured it all out.

Ordinary casual cultivators do not have the resources to allow him to reach this point in such a short time. Someone is helping him!

"Who is behind you?" Wu Chong asked coldly.

Man Gu Zhenren naturally did not answer. He waved the huge bone stick in his hand and smiled: "Senior Wu, you have too many questions. Let me continue to learn your "Taotie Divine Art" today!"
