The Path to Immortality

"When the illusion had problems, why were other foundation-building cultivators able to react in time and suppress their own strength? Why were they the only ones who didn't respond in time and were kicked out of the illusion?"

After asking questions in succession, the Miaoyang Patriarch said calmly: "Let those disciples who made trouble reflect on it. They deserve only one Xuan-level opportunity to compensate for their lack of strength. If there are still people who are dissatisfied, they can go to the Jindan cultivators of their own sects to complain and ask their ancestors to come to me. I want to see which foundation-building cultivator who was kicked out of the Qingxu Illusion has the guts to do that!"

"The ancestor is wise!"

The elders of the Qingxu Sect were convinced.

………

On the morning of the second day.

With the closure of the Qingxu Illusion, the Nine Sects Alliance was about to end, and the foundation-building cultivators of each sect had begun to gather one after another, preparing to return on the flying boat or the magic weapon of their own Jindan ancestors.

Fang Ping was naturally no exception. He made preparations early and left the temporary resting cave.

"Meet this fellow Daoist from the Luoyang Sect!"

A Qingxu Sect deacon had been waiting for him outside.

Fang Ping's mind turned, and he roughly guessed the other party's intention.

After a few polite words, as expected, the deacon handed over a treasure box from the storage bag, saying that it was the compensation promised by Qingxu Sect yesterday.

Fang Ping was quite interested in the compensation items.

But he did not take it immediately, but asked first: "The cultivators who left Qingxu Illusionary Realm early yesterday for some reason missed different opportunities. I don't know why your sect's compensation standards are determined?"

The deacon smiled and said: "Let fellow Taoists know, our sect's Jindan ancestor has said that no matter what opportunity is lost, we will uniformly compensate with an item comparable to a Xuan-level opportunity."

Only give a Xuan-level opportunity...

Fang Ping was a little disappointed, but then he thought that this was undoubtedly too high a vision.

For most foundation-building cultivators, getting an extra Xuan-level opportunity is completely acceptable.

He then asked, "Even if they are both Xuan-level opportunities, they have different qualities, and it also depends on whether they meet one's needs. I wonder if we can choose this compensation opportunity ourselves?"

Before visiting Fang Ping, the deacon seemed to have already found other cultivators and was asked similar questions, so he was not surprised.

His face became serious, and he said in a businesslike tone, "The elder said that since it is an opportunity, there is naturally some luck involved. The compensation items have been sealed, and fellow Taoists cannot choose by themselves."

Fang Ping pondered in silence, and his spiritual sense had secretly scanned the treasure box in the deacon's hand.

Although a simple ban was imposed on the treasure box to isolate the inside and outside, it could not be hidden from Fang Ping's spiritual sense.

After his full exploration, he quickly confirmed that the item in the treasure box was a high-quality spiritual material that could be used to forge spiritual tools.

Although it was not bad, it was undoubtedly a relatively poor one among the Xuan-level opportunities, and even if Fang Ping got it, he would not need it for the time being.

He thought about it, took out a bottle of Huiyuan Dan, stuffed it into the other party, and secretly transmitted the message.

"This..."

The steward looked at the pill in his hand, and was embarrassed at first, but after listening to a few words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Forget it, since you are sincere, I can help you. But it is agreed that the treasure box cannot be opened, otherwise I can't explain it."

"Of course, how can I make it difficult for you?"

Fang Ping immediately made a promise.

Hearing this, the steward was relieved.

He took out a few more treasure boxes from the storage bag: "They are all here, please choose quickly, I have a few more fellow Taoists to visit later."

While he was talking, Fang Ping's spiritual consciousness was fully open, penetrating the restrictions on the gift box, and exploring one by one.

After a few breaths, Fang Ping's eyes lit up.

In the eyes of the steward, Fang Ping just glanced at a few treasure boxes, and then casually pointed at them and selected the last one he took out.

He thought Fang Ping would take a long time, but seeing that it was solved so quickly, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Earning a bottle of Huiyuan Dan for free so easily, today's job is really a good job!

After leaving the treasure box, he happily rushed to the cave of the next cultivator.

Watching this person leave, Fang Ping also smiled slightly.

A bottle of Huiyuan Dan to restore mana is not worth mentioning to him now, and he can refine it at will.

But this opportunity in hand is much more useful than the spiritual material in the first treasure box.

Breaking the ban casually and opening the treasure box, Fang Ping took out a small piece of gray wood that exudes a cold breath.

"Yinhuai wood born in the extremely cold land!"

Fang Ping looked at this gray and inconspicuous piece of wood, and silently recited the origin of this thing.

Yinhuai wood is not a rare spiritual plant, because it can condense cold breath and nourish ghosts, it is very popular among ghost cultivators.

But the Yinhuai wood that grows in the extremely Yin land is different. After years of Yin Qi infusion, a small part of its branches will gradually produce the miraculous effect of nourishing and nourishing the cultivator's consciousness, becoming a treasure of consciousness sought after by foundation-building cultivators.

This small piece of Yinhuai wood is enough to increase the distance of his consciousness by several feet.

"With this thing, this trip to the Qingxu Illusionary Realm is really perfect!"

Throwing the Yinhuai wood into the storage bag, Fang Ping condensed a light of escape under his feet, soared into the air, and flew to the Luoyang Sect flying boat parked above Jingdu Peak.

Seven days passed in a flash, and he gained a lot. Now it's time to leave.

Standing on the flying boat, Fang Ping looked back and looked down again. The spiritual springs were gushing, and there were thousands of auspicious auras. The mountain gate of Qingxu Sect was still magnificent. In addition, there were nearly two thousand foundation-building cultivators from eight sects. Various colors of escape lights rose and fell, cutting through the sky, showing the prosperity of the immortal sects of Liang and Yueliang.

I just don’t know how long this grand scene can last?

………

After riding on the magic weapon-level flying boat, he returned to Luoyang Sect in just a few days.

Returning to the familiar Lingbao Peak, feeling the rich fire aura here, Fang Ping couldn’t help but relax physically and mentally, and felt an indescribable comfort.

After quietly appreciating the scenery for a while, he entered the cave and got busy again.

First, take some time to complete the sacrifice of the low-grade spiritual weapon [Dinglian Mirror] obtained in the Qingxu Illusion. Afterwards, Fang Ping swallowed a Shengyuan Pill and used the aura gathered by the small gathering spirit formation to practice at full speed.

He thought that after the Nine Sects Alliance, nothing major would happen in the short term, and he should be able to practice peacefully for another half a year.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after the five major sects of Liang returned from Qingxu Sect, they jointly announced a new major event.

The [Liyuan Palace Forbidden Land], which was originally scheduled to open in seven years, will be opened in advance in two months!

Not only that, the original rules and quota allocation have also been significantly adjusted.

If the previous Nine Sects Alliance affected the hearts of all the foundation-building cultivators in Liang and Yue. Then the early opening of the Liyuan Palace Forbidden Land this time alarmed all the Qi-training disciples of the five major sects of Liang!

And the momentum of such major events coming one after another also made the cultivators of Liang more and more smell the crisis and urgency of the coming storm and the dark clouds pressing down on the city.
