Mortal Cultivator

Wang Lu is an alchemist who is obsessed with the art of alchemy. In this vast and mysterious world of cultivation, he may not be a legendary figure who is famous all over the world, but he always has an extremely passionate heart for the art of alchemy, and sticks to his unique persistence and unremitting pursuit.

On this day, the sun shines through the clouds and falls on the earth, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze. Wang Lu resolutely picked up his bag and took firm and powerful steps to embark on a long journey to the legendary water realm. His eyes were clear and resolute, as if he could penetrate the heavy fog and difficulties ahead.

On this journey, Wang Lu had only one clear and unwavering goal in his heart-to find the rare water spirit flower in the world. It is said that this magical spirit flower grows in the deepest and most dangerous place in the water realm, and contains extremely rich and pure water attribute spiritual power. It has immeasurable value for improving alchemy skills and refining top-level elixirs.

However, it is not easy to obtain this water spirit flower. There will be countless unknown challenges and crises waiting for him to face bravely and overcome one by one along the way. But Wang Lu is not afraid, because he firmly believes in his heart: as long as he perseveres and moves forward courageously, he will be able to achieve his wish!

The Water Dao Realm is like a mysterious fairyland hidden outside the world. According to ancient legends, this is where the spiritual power of water gathers, and its concentration has reached the realm of substance. The vast rivers, lakes and seas are intricately intertwined like a spider web, forming a magnificent picture of water. Islands of various sizes and shapes are dotted like stars, embellishing this vast water area in a staggered manner.

In this wonderful water Dao Realm, every drop of crystal clear water seems to be endowed with mysterious power. They either jump lightly and flexibly on the water surface, or merge silently into the surging river, or turn into wisps of water mist when the breeze blows.

The water spirit flower is hidden deep in the deepest part of this magical area, waiting for the exploration and discovery of the destined people. Its delicate and gorgeous petals are like the colorful feathers worn by fairies in the water when they dance; the wisps of fragrance emanating from the stamens are even more fascinating, as if they can bring people into a dreamlike world.

Wang Lu is wearing an exquisite green shirt, with fluttering sleeves, as if he is integrated with the surrounding natural environment. He is tall and straight, standing like a green pine. A unique alchemy furnace-style accessory is hung around his waist. The small and exquisite alchemy furnace exudes a faint spiritual light, becoming a prominent symbol of his unique identity.

At this moment, he stood quietly at the edge of the water realm, staring at the mysterious world in front of him shrouded by thick water vapor. The mist was swirling and lingering, like a dream, making it difficult to see what secrets were hidden in it. However, Wang Lu's eyes remained steadfast, like two bright torches, shining straight into the unknown depths ahead through the layers of mist.

In the misty water vapor, the sound of gurgling water was faintly heard, crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature. The sound seemed to have an irresistible magic, like a gentle hand gently plucking people's heartstrings, and like an affectionate call, tempting the brave to explore this fantasy-filled realm. And Wang Lu was the fearless and courageous adventurer.

Stepping into the Water Dao Realm, Wang Lu immediately felt the powerful water spiritual power. They were like soft tentacles, wrapped around his body, trying to penetrate into his meridians. Wang Lu circulated his spiritual power, forming a thin shield on the surface of his body to resist the impact of this overly strong spiritual power. There was wet land under his feet, and every step he took left a shallow footprint, which was soon filled with seeping water.

Wang Lu carefully walked along the gurgling, clear stream, and he observed the surrounding environment carefully. The stream stretched forward like a green ribbon, and the ripples of the water sparkled with tiny bits of sunlight, like countless bright gems falling on the water.

There were clumps of strange water plants growing by the stream, and their slender and soft leaves swayed gently under the caress of the water, emitting a faint blue light, like a dream. These water plants seemed to have their own unique life rhythm, dancing with the rhythm of the water, adding a mysterious and charming color to the entire stream.

From time to time, a few small and exquisite fish would swiftly shuttle through the water plants, and their scales also flashed with aqua blue light, dazzling like inlaid crystal clear sapphires. These small fish are lively and agile, as if they are elves in this water area, playing freely. Wherever they swim, they leave beautiful water marks, like flowers blooming in the water, fleeting but unforgettable.

As they go deeper, the fog becomes thicker and thicker, and Wang Lu's vision is greatly restricted. He took out a lighting bead from the storage bag, and the soft light dispelled a small piece of fog around. At this moment, he heard a subtle whistling sound, like the wind passing over the water, but with a different rhythm.

Wang Lu became alert and pinched a spell in his hand. Suddenly, several water arrows rushed out of the fog and shot straight at him. He flashed and easily avoided this sudden attack. "Who is it?" Wang Lu shouted loudly.

A laugh came from the mist, crisp and pleasant, like a woman's voice. "Outsider, why did you break into the Water Dao Realm?" A figure gradually emerged, a woman in a water-blue gauze dress, her face was beautiful, her skin was whiter than snow, and her eyes were like deep lake water.

"I am Wang Lu, and I came here to find the Water Spirit Flower. I need it to refine the Water Spirit Pill." Wang Lu said truthfully.

The woman frowned slightly, "The Water Spirit Flower is a sacred object of my Water Dao Realm, how can you take it away at will?"

Wang Lu clasped his fists and saluted, "Fairy, I have a reason to do this. I have a close friend who has been poisoned by heat, and only the Water Spirit Pill can save his life. I am willing to pay any price."

The woman looked at Wang Lu, as if judging the truth of his words. "Hmph, do you think you can impress me like this? The water spirit flowers in the Water Dao Domain have always been used to protect the balance of this place. If you take them away and destroy the balance, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wang Lu's heart sank, but he did not give up, "Fairy, there must be other ways to maintain the balance. My alchemy skills are okay. If necessary, I can refine some elixirs for the Water Dao Domain that are beneficial to protecting this place."

The woman snorted, "Your alchemy skills? What use can it be?" Although she said so, she still looked at Wang Lu with interest.

Seeing a turnaround, Wang Lu immediately took out the alchemy furnace from the storage bag. He skillfully began to prepare the materials and refined a kind of elixir that can purify the water on the spot. His spiritual power surged, the flame ignited under the alchemy furnace, and various materials rolled and merged in the furnace. After a while, a fragrance spread, and the elixir was successfully refined.

Wang Lu handed the pill to the woman, "Fairy, this pill can purify impurities in the water and enhance the purity of the water spirit."

The woman took the pill, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She could feel the power contained in the pill, which was indeed good for the Water Dao Realm. "This is just one pill, not enough to make up for the loss of the Water Spirit Flower being taken away."

Wang Lu gritted his teeth, "Fairy, I can refine more for you, and I also know some methods to strengthen the formation of the Water Dao Realm, I can help."

The woman pondered for a moment, "Okay, I can give you a chance. There is a trial place deep in the Water Dao Realm. If you can pass the trial, I will allow you to take a Water Spirit Flower."

Wang Lu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Fairy!"

Under the woman's leadership, Wang Lu came to the trial place. This is a huge lake with turbulent waves on the lake, and various dangerous auras are faintly emitted from the lake.

"The place of this trial is called the Water Abyss Mirror. It contains your inner fears and various water phantom beasts. If you can hold on for an incense stick of time and find the exit, you will pass." After the woman finished speaking, she waved her hand, and Wang Lu was swept into the lake.

As soon as Wang Lu entered the water, he felt that the surrounding environment became weird. The originally clear lake water became turbid, as if countless eyes were peeping at him in the dark. Suddenly, a huge water python swam towards him. Its body was huge, and it opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs.

Wang Lu responded calmly, unsheathed the spirit sword in his hand, infused it with spiritual power, and stabbed at the water python. The water python flexibly avoided the attack, swept its tail, and set off a strong current of water, which hit Wang Lu and sent him flying backwards. Wang Lu stabilized his body, performed a water escape technique, and disappeared instantly.

The water python could not find the target and roared angrily. Wang Lu took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment. He found that the lake seemed to have some rules, and the attacks of those water beasts also had a certain rhythm. He calmed down and tried to find a way to crack it.

At this moment, the surrounding water began to rotate, forming a huge whirlpool. Wang Lu was caught in it, and felt that his body was pulled by countless hands, and his spiritual power was not running smoothly. He concentrated his mind and gathered his spiritual power to the soles of his feet, trying to get rid of the suction of the whirlpool.

After struggling in the whirlpool for a long time, Wang Lu finally found a flaw. He jumped out of the whirlpool with all his strength. But before he could catch his breath, another group of mermaids attacked him. The mermaids were agile, holding sharp weapons in their hands, stabbing at Wang Lu from all directions.

Wang Lu performed a set of swordsmanship, with sword shadows flying, and fought fiercely with the mermaids. He fought and retreated, looking for clues to the exit. During the battle, he found that whenever he approached a certain direction of the lake, the mermaids' attacks would become more fierce, and he guessed that the exit might be in the opposite direction.

So, Wang Lu deliberately feinted in the direction where the mermaids were attacking fiercely, and then suddenly turned around and rushed in another direction. The mermaids were enraged by his actions and chased after him. But Wang Lu was extremely fast. He cleverly used the surrounding terrain and the spiritual power of water to gradually get rid of the mermaids.

Finally, when a stick of incense was about to burn out, Wang Lu saw a bright light in front of him. He used all his strength to rush towards the light and successfully left the Shuiyuan Magic Mirror.

When he surfaced, he saw the woman standing by the lake with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You passed the test, follow me."

Wang Lu followed the woman to a quiet pond. The water was clear and transparent. In the center of the pond, there were several water spirit flowers growing. The water spirit flower is gorgeous, its petals present a dreamy aqua blue color, and the stamens are twinkling with stars, emitting a rich water spirit power.

"You can take one, but don't be greedy." The woman warned.

Wang Lu walked carefully to the center of the pool, he took out a special jade box, gently picked a water spirit flower, and put it in the box. "Thank you fairy for your help."

After getting the Water Spirit Flower, Wang Lu did not stay in the Water Dao Domain for long. He took the Water Spirit Flower and quickly returned to his alchemy place. Along the way, he carefully protected the jade box, fearing that the Water Spirit Flower would be damaged.

Back in the alchemy room, Wang Lu began to prepare to refine the Water Spirit Pill. He cleaned the alchemy furnace and put various precious materials in order according to the formula. Finally, he put the Water Spirit Flower into the alchemy furnace with reverence.

He activated the alchemy formation, and his hands kept playing the spells to control the fire and spiritual power in the alchemy furnace. The flames in the alchemy furnace were blazing, and various materials rolled and merged in it, emitting bursts of light.

After a long refining process, the Water Spirit Pill was finally about to take shape. Wang Lu's forehead was full of sweat, but his eyes were still focused. He increased the output of spiritual power to stabilize the situation in the alchemy furnace.

As the last spell was played, the light in the alchemy furnace shone brightly, and a powerful spiritual power fluctuation spread out. Wang Lu opened the alchemy furnace, and a crystal clear water spirit pill appeared in front of him. The pill had water-like patterns on it, exuding a cool breath.

Wang Lu looked at the water spirit pill and a relieved smile appeared on his face. He knew that his best friend was saved. He carefully put away the water spirit pill and immediately rushed to where his best friend was. His figure gradually went away in the sun, carrying hope and determination...

In the days that followed, Wang Lu's alchemy skills improved because of this trip to the Water Dao Realm. He often recalled the woman in the Water Dao Realm and that magical and beautiful place. And the story of how he saved his best friend with the water spirit pill gradually spread in the world of immortal cultivation and became a good story among people.

Wang Lu is an alchemist. He is obsessed with the way of alchemy and has been pursuing a higher level of alchemy all his life. However, in order to break through his own bottleneck in alchemy, he took the risk of refining an extremely complex pill-the Nine Yang Resurrection Pill. Although this elixir has the effect of resurrecting the dead and reshaping the spiritual roots, the elixir poison produced during the refining process is also extremely fierce and invaded his body.

At first, Wang Lu didn't care, but as time went by, the elixir poison raged in his body, eroding his meridians and internal organs. His face became as pale as paper, and his originally bright eyes often flashed with a look of pain. Every time he practiced his luck, the elixir poison pierced his meridians like countless steel needles, making him sweat profusely.

After trying countless methods and failing to remove the elixir poison, Wang Lu was almost desperate. His body was getting weaker and weaker, and the once high-spirited alchemist now had difficulty even casting simple spells. But he did not give up, and still looked for a way to detoxify in ancient books and various materials.

One day, in an ancient alchemy secret book, he accidentally discovered a record about Shui Ling Dan. The book describes that Shui Ling Dan is a magical elixir that can purify impurities in the body and dissolve severe toxins, especially for the elixir poison produced by alchemy. However, the main ingredient for refining the Water Spirit Pill, the Water Spirit Flower, is extremely rare and grows in the mysterious Water Dao Domain.

Wang Lu knew that this was his last hope. Despite his weak body, he resolutely embarked on the journey to the Water Dao Domain. Along the way, he walked and stopped, and every time he used his power to resist the onset of the poison, he was exhausted. But he had only one belief in his heart, that is, to find the Water Spirit Flower and refine the Water Spirit Pill.

After a long journey, Wang Lu finally came to the edge of the Water Dao Domain. The air was filled with water vapor and rich water spirit power. Stepping into this area, he could feel that his body seemed to be more comfortable, and the violent poison temporarily stopped raging under the nourishment of the water spirit power.

In the Water Dao Domain, rivers, lakes and seas crisscrossed. Wang Lu walked along a rushing river, the river water was clear and the river bottom was full of colorful stones and strange water plants. Occasionally, some water blue fish jumped out of the water, splashing a string of crystal water droplets.

He went deeper along the river and encountered a huge swamp. The swamp was filled with mist and a faint sense of danger. Wang Lu moved forward cautiously. He used the light body technique to try to fly over the swamp. However, countless vines suddenly stretched out from the swamp and entangled him.

Wang Lu waved the spirit sword in his hand and cut off some vines, but there were more and more vines. He felt that his spiritual power was constantly depleting, and the poison of the elixir took the opportunity to attack at this time. A sharp pain came, and his movements slowed down. A vine took the opportunity to entangle his ankle and pulled him down into the swamp.

Wang Lu endured the pain and concentrated his mind. He took out a fire-attributed pill from the storage bag and threw it at the vine. The pill exploded, producing a powerful flame that burned the surrounding vines. He took the opportunity to break free and escape from the swamp.

Continuing forward, Wang Lu came to a lake. There was a small island in the center of the lake, and a strange light flickered on the island. He knew that the water spirit flower was likely on that island. But there were powerful restrictions around the lake, and he tried many methods but couldn't break through.

Just as he was thinking hard, he found some strange runes swimming in the lake. He observed carefully and found that these runes seemed to be related to the flow of spiritual power in the water realm. After some research, Wang Lu understood that this was an ancient water restriction formation.

Relying on his profound knowledge of alchemy and understanding of spiritual power, he began to try to crack the formation. He took some materials from the storage bag and arranged a small spiritual power conversion formation by the lake. Through this formation, he guided the runes in the lake and changed their arrangement order.

After several days of hard work, a crack finally appeared in the ban around the lake. Wang Lu rushed into the crack without hesitation and swam towards the island in the lake. When he landed on the island, a strong water spirit came to his face, and he saw several beautiful water spirit flowers.

The petals of these water spirit flowers showed a dreamy water blue, the stamens were shining with bright starlight, and a layer of light mist was surrounded. Wang Lu was very excited. He carefully picked a water spirit flower and put it in a special jade box.

After getting the water spirit flower, Wang Lu did not dare to delay and immediately returned to his alchemy room. Along the way, he once again endured the torture of the pill poison, but his heart was full of hope.

Back in the alchemy room, Wang Lu began to prepare to refine the water spirit pill. He wiped the alchemy furnace clean and laid out various auxiliary materials. Then, with a nervous and expectant mood, he put the water spirit flower into the alchemy furnace.

He activated the alchemy array, and his hands kept playing complex spells to control the fire in the alchemy furnace and the injection of spiritual power. The flames in the alchemy furnace burned fiercely, and the water spirit flower slowly melted in the flames and merged with other materials.

As the refining progressed, the alchemy furnace exuded a cool breath, which made Wang Lu feel that the poison in his body seemed to calm down a little. But he knew that he could not be careless, and there was no room for error in refining the water spirit pill.

In the critical stage of pill coagulation, Wang Lu's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he injected all his spiritual power into the alchemy furnace. His body was extremely weak due to the erosion of the poison, but he persisted with his tenacious will.

Finally, with a dazzling light flashing, the water spirit pill was successfully refined. A round and crystal pill exuded a soft blue light in the alchemy furnace. There were water-like patterns on the pill, emitting powerful water spiritual power fluctuations.

Wang Lu took out the water spirit pill with trembling hands. He looked at the pill that cost him countless efforts, and tears flashed in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he swallowed the water spirit pill into his mouth.

The Shuiling Pill melted in his mouth, and a cool and pure power spread in his body. This power flowed through his meridians like clear spring water, and wherever it went, the poison was dissolved. Wang Lu felt that the severe pain in his body was gradually relieved, and his meridians were rejuvenated under the repair of the Shuiling Pill.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, running his spiritual power, guiding the power of the Shuiling Pill to circulate in his body. As time went by, the poison in his body became less and less, and his originally pale face gradually regained its rosy color. His spiritual power flowed smoothly in his meridians, and the feeling of weakness disappeared without a trace.

After several hours of practice, Wang Lu successfully cleared the poison in his body. He stood up and felt unprecedented relief. He knew that he had gained a new life.

This experience gave Wang Lu a deeper understanding of the way of alchemy. He understood that when pursuing the ultimate realm of alchemy, the risks that the pills may bring cannot be ignored. The Shuiling Pill not only saved his life, but also made him cherish his body and the road of alchemy more.

In the days that followed, Wang Lu returned to his alchemy career. He shared his experience with other alchemists, warning them not to repeat his mistakes. And he himself, with awe for alchemy, continued to explore the mysterious and fascinating world of alchemy, and continued to move towards a higher realm.

His name was also praised by more people in the alchemy world, becoming a legend, inspiring countless young alchemists to move forward courageously in the pursuit of their dreams.
