The Path to Immortality

Evening of that day.

Hundreds of miles away, on the top of a mountain on the way back and forth.

Liu Wuchen and his men set up a temporary camp here, preparing to rest for a few days and see if they can find Sun Chuange and others.

If not, it would be good to bring back their bodies.

How should this mission be described?

Although he did help Liu Wuchen get the inner elixir of the dragon, he was forced to give up all other benefits of the black scale dragon. What's more, several disciples were killed, and others were more or less injured. It can't be said that it was a successful operation.

The atmosphere in the camp was inevitably a little low.

Liu Wuchen knew this very well. After distributing some food and elixirs, he took the initiative to keep watch so that other disciples could have a good night's rest.

Everyone didn't insist. After a few words, they each found a place to meditate and rest.

In the crowd, Fang Ping retreated to the corner of the camp. He seemed to close his eyes to rest, but in fact he was counting the items in the high-quality storage bag obtained in the water palace.

The first thing to be counted was the spirit stones.

Fang Ping found about three or four hundred spirit stones in the storage bag.

The spirit stones in the general sense in the world of immortal cultivation actually refer to low-grade spirit stones.

Correspondingly, there are some special spirit stones with extremely abundant spiritual energy content and quality far exceeding ordinary low-grade spirit stones, which are named middle-grade spirit stones and upper-grade spirit stones by cultivators.

These middle-grade and upper-grade spirit stones can be used to arrange powerful high-level formations, and of course can also be used for cultivation and refining, and are extremely valuable.

The exchange price between spirit stones of different grades is not fixed.

Generally speaking, the value of a middle-grade spirit stone is roughly equivalent to hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.

At this moment, Fang Ping saw six crystal clear middle-grade spirit stones with a concentration of spiritual energy far exceeding that of ordinary spirit stones among these hundreds of spirit stones.

After traveling through time for several years, this was the first time he saw the existence of middle-grade spirit stones with his own eyes.

If we only look at the hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, it may not be worthy of a late-stage Qi training cultivator who can control the black-scaled dragon.

But it is different if we count the six middle-grade spirit stones. It is nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Fang Ping only accumulated so much wealth briefly when he was promoted to the middle stage of Qi training and went to Luoyunfang to purchase several low-grade magic tools in a row.

But he soon found that compared with the truly valuable items in the storage bag, these spirit stones were nothing.

For example, a large number of Taoist books and jade slips.

Fang Ping found the practice of the master of the Water Palace, [Chaoyin Jue].

This is a practice that can be practiced to the foundation-building stage, which is definitely better than the common Five Elements Sutra that Fang Ping is practicing now.

But because it is a water practice, it is not the best choice for Fang Ping.

It is worth mentioning that the practice that Fang Ping got is not a Taoist book that simply copied the practice formula, but a more advanced inheritance jade slip, which contains the true meaning left by those who have successfully practiced this practice.

This true meaning that can be repeatedly pondered can not only ensure that the content of the practice is correct, but also allow subsequent practitioners to check and verify, without worrying about their own practice going wrong.

Based on this point, this inheritance jade slip can be sold at a high price at the auction, and be regarded as a family practice inheritance by some small cultivator families.

Of course, Fang Ping can also choose to keep it as a reference and practice resource.

There is no need to rush how to deal with it, you can put it aside for now.

In addition to the Chaoyin Jue, Fang Ping also found a basic beast control method that seems to have been passed down from the Liang Kingdom Spirit Beast Sect.

"This should be the beast control method used by the owner of the Water Palace to control the black scale dragon!"

The alchemy is profound and has already occupied a lot of Fang Ping's time. At least at this stage, he has no intention of taking into account the beast control method in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

However, if he only knows a little bit, it will be convenient for him to contract the black scale dragon egg.

After all, when the black scale dragon grows up, it will be at least the combat power of the tenth level of Qi training, and it may even have the potential to build a foundation.

It would be a pity to sell such a powerful helper instead of keeping it for personal use.

In addition to the beast control method, at the bottom of the Taoist book and jade slips, Fang Ping also found a simple green jade box.

The jade box had no restrictions. It was unknown whether it had never been there or had been broken by the owner of the Water Palace.

After opening it, Fang Ping saw a jade slip and a special silver foil page full of strange words inside.

He first took out the jade slip and put it on his forehead.

A large amount of information related to the formation suddenly appeared.

After a little investigation, Fang Ping was shocked and almost lost his composure on the spot.

This jade slip surprisingly included an exquisite second-level formation inheritance!

Moreover, this second-level formation inheritance was extremely complete, covering all the contents of the first and second levels starting from the foundation of the formation!

It also included the formation diagrams and formation methods of nearly a hundred different formations.

Even if someone has never practiced the Dao of Formation before, as long as they can fully understand this inheritance, they can become a top-notch second-level formation cultivator!

"This... is actually the inheritance of the second-level Dao of Formation!"

Fang Ping's surprise is simply difficult to describe in words.

No matter which kind of inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, when it reaches the second level, the value will increase tenfold or a hundredfold.

As the first of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, the value of the Dao of Formation is beyond imagination.

Even if a Jindan cultivator knows about this complete second-level Dao of Formation inheritance, he may not care about his status and try to snatch it!

What is the origin of the owner of the Water Palace? How can there be such an inestimable inheritance?

His heart was pounding as he guessed all kinds of outrageous possibilities. It took him a while to calm himself down.

He put away the array jade slip for the time being and checked the silver foil page under the jade slip.

The strange words written on the page looked a bit like cloud patterns at first glance, but when he looked closely, each word seemed to be changing and contained all kinds of magical Taoist rhymes.

"This... seems to be a Taoist text handed down from ancient times?"

Fang Ping racked his brains and finally thought of a clue.

But unfortunately, he only inherited the words of Liangguo Xiuxian World from his original body.

This kind of ancient Taoist text, which is mostly used to record advanced skills and Taoist arts, is at least only available to Jindan cultivators, and is not something that the original body can master.

While being curious about the content recorded on the silver foil page, Fang Ping couldn't help but become more and more confused about the identity and experience of the owner of the Water Palace.

"When we get back, we can go to the outer sect's Sutra Pavilion to have a look. I hope there are books about ancient Taoist texts in it."

Putting away the silver foil pages, Fang Ping accidentally found a map of Liang State sandwiched in a travel book while browsing the remaining Taoist books.

There was nothing wrong with the map of Liang State itself, but one of the places was specially marked.

"Tianfeng Patriarch's Cave Mansion?"

After seeing the words on it clearly, Fang Ping was surprised and happy!

He had never heard of this name, but in the Liang State's immortal cultivation world, anyone who could be honored as an ancestor must be a Jindan cultivator.

Unless he was a bold and daring lunatic, no cultivator would dare to call him that.
