The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

"Old Version"

"Five Sparrows Red Copper" (Common)

Refining method: One pound of red copper, soak in five pounds of fresh blood from sparrows, parrots, crows, egrets, and geese for one hundred days. Then grind ginseng, polygonatum, lingzhi, lotus seeds, and blood ghost flower into powder, write the "Red Blood Curse" spell, and infuse Essence Qi into the red copper until it melts nine times to obtain one or two ounces of red copper.

"Five Qi Green Bronze" (Premium)

Refining method: One pound of red copper, mix with ten pounds of fresh blood from black dogs, wolves, jackals, leopards, and bears, and ten drops of human blood essence. Write the "Five Qi Red Blood Curse" spell and infuse Essence Qi, refining it one hundred times to obtain one or two ounces of five qi green bronze.

"Red Blood Vine" (Common)

Cultivation method: Collect blood vines, mix with the blood of five poisonous creatures, and blend with the blood essence of a Human Tribulation-level cultivator. Write the "Blood Body Curse" on the vine once every nine days, and after eighty-one days, one plant can be cultivated with a 90% mortality rate.

"Spirit Blood Vine" (Premium)

Cultivation method: Collect blood vines, mix with one pound of blood from egrets, crows, pigeons, cranes, and parrots, and blend with the blood essence of a Human Tribulation cultivator. Write the "White Spirit Blood Curse" once every seven days, and after forty-nine days, one plant can be obtained.

Looking at the optimized production methods of these two types of materials and plants, Li Qing's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

"However, these two items cannot be fully disclosed, at most only one can be revealed."

"Otherwise, others will easily associate it with the True Teaching. Moreover, the modified materials and plants may bring astonishing dangers."

"The principle of 'the innocent should not be punished for the crimes of the guilty' is also common in this world."

"But if I provide 'Five Sparrows Red Copper' and 'Red Blood Vine,' someone will know that I have been to Wulingyuan."

"If it spreads, the people of the Blood Demon Cult will know, and they may come after me because I have seen what they are up to."

"If that blood-armored person comes looking for me, it will be over."

"Being targeted by such a terrifying sect would be even more dangerous."

"So the best choice is to present the most different 'Five Qi Green Bronze' as the traded material."

With a decision in mind, with a slight movement of his mind, all his avatars began to descend the mountain, transforming back into paper figures and gathering in the hands of the avatar at the foot of the mountain.

As for the ancestral portrait, it had already been quietly buried in the ground, in a corner where no one would notice.

The paper figures quietly returned, constantly changing direction along the way, observing if anyone was following.

Li Qing did not command the paper figures all the way, only letting them return to a corner of Dragon Path City after confirming that no one was following.

As for when to return to the academy, it needed to be further confirmed that no one was following.

After all, there seemed to be many fishing enthusiasts in this world.

Li Qing sat up from the bed and came to his desk, quickly writing down the complete refining method of "Five Qi Green Bronze."

Jade Tablet would first optimize an outline for all techniques, followed by detailed steps, almost like a step-by-step textbook.

This premium material totaled over a thousand words, and it took about a quarter of an hour to complete.

After carefully checking it, Li Qing folded the scripture and contemplated silently.

"Next, I need to find a trading partner at Jixia Academy."

"Jixia Academy produces three types of materials, and although the resources are abundant, I only know Zheng Lao here."

"But I can't approach him; the fewer people who know about this, the better."

"So, I can only go directly to see the Master."

Although he did not want to see the Master, only the Master's decision could truly finalize this, and no one would know that he was the mastermind behind it.

But there was also a certain amount of risk. "The Master must have cultivated Confucian techniques to a certain extent and follows the discipline of the techniques."

"A gentleman may deceive him with a square."

"By following the rules, I can use them with peace of mind."

"A mere premium material is probably not worth his attention."

"And I come with the Master's token, so he knows about my background with the Dragon Palace."

"With a background and a few resources, he will to some extent follow the rules, so we can negotiate."

Carefully weighing and analyzing the possible risks, he nodded silently. "It's worth a try."

With that in mind, he put "Five Qi Green Bronze" into his Universe Bag, silently left the room, and headed towards the Master's small building.

The area was still shrouded in mist, and strangely, most of the passersby seemed to have not noticed it at all.

Li Qing, walking alone, noticed the problem among them.

"It seems that this mist should have some other mystery that can divert the perception of ordinary people."

Li Qing silently stood outside the misty area, waiting quietly.

The Master must know of his arrival, and if he was willing to see him, he would naturally let him in.

A faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Do you have something to discuss with me?"

A chill rose from the bottom of Li Qing's heart, and his body trembled slightly. He had not expected the Master to appear beside him.

He looked to the side abruptly, and at this moment, the Master seemed somewhat different.

Completely different from the first time he had seen the Master, there was no trace of any fluctuations on him, just like an ordinary person.

The boundless righteousness also seemed to have disappeared.

There seemed to be countless human elements in his eyes.

It was as if they were completely different people.

Li Qing was filled with astonishment and uncertainty, as the Master looked at him with a faint smile on his face.

"Don't be surprised. You are seeing all of me, just different versions of me."

"Different versions of you?" Li Qing was taken aback.

The Master seemed to have no intention of dwelling on this matter, and continued, "Let's go, we can talk as we walk."

At the Master's words, Li Qing instinctively followed him and found himself in the rear of the academy in a flash.

This was originally where the miscellaneous staff lived, but after passing through this area, there was unexpectedly a sizable garden behind it.

The two entered a pavilion, with a beautiful scene of a small bridge and flowing water beside it.

The Master sat on the bench in the pavilion, tapping his legs lightly.

"I'm old and useless now."

Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If you're useless, then there's probably no one useful in this world."

The Master's voice continued in his ear, "Speak, what do you want?"

"You don't seem very willing to see me," Li Qing felt a chill, as the Master seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

After a moment of careful consideration, he organized his words and said respectfully, "I have a secret recipe for a material and would like to make a deal with Jixia Academy to make money together."

"A deal? What kind of deal?"
