Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

For someone like Lu Baitian, who is a Gold Core perfectionist, there is no shame in trying to please a Vermilion Bird Mountain Qi Refining late-stage disciple.

He is a person who goes with the flow, as long as he can achieve his goals, he doesn't mind sending his wife to someone else's bed.

At the same time, he is one of the few people from the Bi Shui Lu family who has witnessed the majestic power of Vermilion Bird Mountain.

A hundred years ago, Great Xia and Da Zhou engaged in a trial battle. When the Vermilion Bird Mountain cultivator army flew over the Fallen Star Lake, the shocking scene deeply imprinted itself in his mind.

Even with his double spiritual roots of medium quality, he was not chosen to enter the Purple Cloud Sect. It is imaginable how great the difference in their identities is, considering that Lin Xiu is already the direct disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect at the Qi Refining late-stage.

However, he still has some caution regarding Lin Xiu's identity and decides to find someone to confirm it.

...

Lu Baichen was stunned when he received his voice transmission.

Lin Xiu?

He glanced at the flagship airship of Vermilion Bird Mountain from a distance and immediately dismissed the idea of asking about it.

Firstly, as a small and medium-sized family temporarily conscripted by Vermilion Bird Mountain to be responsible for the left-wing scouts, he is not qualified to discuss other matters except reporting information to a Vermilion Bird Mountain Gold Core steward.

As for claiming to know one of the top three elders of Vermilion Bird Mountain, it is purely a boastful act to raise his own value and give himself a golden edge.

Secondly...

Although it is late at night, the full moon is shining brightly, illuminating Qian Jue Peak.

Under the night sky, Vermilion Bird Mountain occupies the western corner, the Da Zhou sect occupies the southeast corner, and the Northern Demon Nation's demon soldiers, who unexpectedly came to take advantage, occupy the northeast corner, forming a three-way stalemate.

In the blank space between the three factions, which is the Cave Mansion that used to belong to Qian Qiuwei, a man dressed in a white embroidered willow robe hovers in the air. In his palm, there is a deep red bead that almost dyes the night sky red.

He is only at the mid-stage of Gold Core.

But when he stands in the middle, the other three factions dare not act rashly, indicating his special status.

At this time, if Lu Baichen doesn't have the insight to go and ask about the origin of a certain young disciple, then he has wasted nearly two hundred years of his life.

Suddenly, the voice of that man came over.

"Lord Chu, the Phoenix Lord of the Demon Nation, and the various representatives of Da Zhou, you have been considering it for half a day. I wonder what your opinions are on my proposal?"

Chu Xianxiong has been on the verge of losing his patience for half a day, and even the handle of his dusting broom is about to spark, but he still can't make a decision.

While the battle with Wei Qianqiu was in full swing, this strange man from the Ling Nation in the Central State suddenly appeared and casually threw out a "Sealing Demon Formation" composed of 360 formation discs.

Although Wei Qianqiu failed to Transcend Tribulation successfully, he still had the cultivation power of a half-step Soul Formation. Unexpectedly, he was sealed into that bead without any resistance, greatly surprising everyone present.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, your status is noble, and according to reason, we should agree. However, this matter is a division of territory, and once agreed, the power that Great Xia has accumulated for thousands of years will be destroyed..."

Gu Jinqi smiled and glanced at the bead in his hand.

"This Wei Qianqiu is just a chess piece, but he thinks he can break free from the chess game. In order to achieve longevity, he didn't hesitate to kill more than ten thousand cultivators. I will personally take him back to the Central State to be judged."

He changed the subject.

"However, this chess piece that is coveted by the Demon Nation, Da Zhou, and even the Great Shang has also played its role. It has moved you away from Vermilion Bird Mountain.

Now, in the west of Great Xia, in the dark magic swamp, at the border with the Great Shang, the flames of war have reignited. If Lord Chu is unwilling to give up half of the Thousand Despair Mountains vein, and if you don't return in time to reinforce it, I'm afraid your country's losses in the west will be unbearable!"

Chu Xianxiong felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

Great Xia is strong and wealthy, which has long made the surrounding three neighboring countries envious.

He thought that sacrificing a bit of the Thousand Despair Mountains vein's benefits could form an alliance with Da Zhou, in order to divert attention and deal with the Demon Nation in the north and Da Zhou in the west.

But he never expected that this time it would be a conspiracy jointly planned by the three countries, making Great Xia face enemies on three sides simultaneously. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is a world war against Xia.

Chu Xianxiong's eyelids drooped slightly, and he already had an answer in his heart.

If these three countries can unite in action, then Gu Jinqi, representing the Ling Nation, cannot escape responsibility!

Has Great Xia's prosperity already threatened the interests of the distant Central State?

And obviously, the more than ten Nascent Soul elders around him have also thought of this.

"Master, this Gu Jinqi is the son of the Emperor of the Spirit Nation. He holds a superior position in the Qingling Sect. I'm afraid... whatever decision you make, we have no objections!"

Chu Xianxiong sighed.

This chess game involves various strategies, such as deception, luring the enemy away, and taking advantage of the situation...

He looked past Gu Jinqi and glanced at the two opposing camps.

If he didn't agree to this suggestion of going to war, although he was confident in repelling the enemy, he would suffer great losses and wouldn't have the strength to deal with the powerful merchants from the West.

He shouted loudly, "I wonder what the opinions of the Demon Nation and the Great Zhou Fellow Daoists are?"

Laughter like silver bells rang out from the cabin of the Demon Nation's giant ship.

"Our little sister is here to cause trouble and make demands. Not only will she not harm a single person in our country, but she will also gain a quarter of the land in the Thousand Despair Mountains. Who can refuse such a good deal?"

Chu Xianxiong furrowed his brows slightly and remained silent.

The Vice Sect Master of the Endless Pleasure Sect laughed heartily.

"If Master Chu can agree to stop the war, the Great Zhou is willing to make a vow to not engage in warfare for two hundred years. We will not cross the line of the Thousand Despair Peak!"

"Our Demon Nation can do the same!"

Gu Jinqi clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

"That's great! Great Xia will keep half of the Thousand Despair Mountains, and the remaining two countries will each get the other half. I am willing to represent the Spirit Nation as a mediator and witness the trilateral agreement. It's a great act of benevolence!"

...

The sky brightened, and Lin Xiu, the master of the Cuihu Manor, got up from the bed. He glanced at Wen Renqing, whose fragrant shoulder was partially exposed, and sighed deeply.

"We didn't fare well in the siege last night. We'll fight again tomorrow!"

"Hmph! Then please, husband, rest and prepare for battle again!"

Her words were filled with sarcasm, leaving Lin Xiu with no room for retort.

Afterward, he hurriedly left the bedroom.

[You have cultivated with your partner Wen Renqing nine times, but the effect was not good. You have gained 135 points of flexible experience.]

[Wen Renqing's fluctuating favorability towards you is currently at 35 points.]

[Emotional bonus: 0]

[Spiritual Sense: Qi Refining Sixth Layer +2890/5000]

[Earth Elemental Root: Inferior +333/500]

Lin Xiu felt dizzy when he saw the words "Spiritual Sense."

Generally, cultivation and spiritual sense grow together.

When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, their spiritual sense will also catch up.

Of course, if there is a special technique to refine spiritual sense, it can surpass cultivation.

However, such techniques are extremely rare. In sects, unless there is great potential, the sect will not easily teach them.

It is even more difficult for independent cultivators. They may not even have access to spiritual stones and rely solely on opportunities.

"Not bad, not bad. If that's the case, I can refine second-grade talismans before reaching the completion of Qi Refining!"

But this still made him feel a bit uninspired.

To think that there is also a halving of experience. Dog system, you're taking it too seriously, aren't you?

Thinking of the scenes from last night's battle under the dimly lit lamps, he had been full of confidence in victory.

But now, he felt that his Dao heart had been damaged...

"No wonder they say that softness can overcome hardness. Being too aggressive doesn't mean you can always advance. Attacking and capturing a city, huh!"

It seems that he will need to gradually adapt in the future.
