There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 11: Xia Ming, the Hidden Spirit Root!

Nian Sheng, the Supreme!

Upon reading these four characters, Li Dahua felt a shiver run through his body.

It really is this old guy!

Although he is no longer the peak master of Qing Elixir Peak, these two characters, "Supreme," make people feel even more terrified.

The Supremes are the true trump cards of the Great River Sect.

As far as Li Dahua knows, there are no more than a handful of Supremes in the sect.

While sighing, Li Dahua looked at the generous rewards listed after the bounty.

Five hundred spirit stones... Foundation Building Pills...

Great River Qi Refining Technique... Pill Refining Method...

The position of an outer sect elder... Three seats at the city gate...

As he looked, Li Dahua's breathing became rapid.

Wow!

The rewards offered are really abundant!

If he could provide any one of those things, Li Dahua wouldn't have to desperately accumulate wealth at the Soul Capturing Cliff.

Blinking his eyes, a bitter smile slowly appeared on Li Dahua's face.

Sigh... Even if the things are good, you still need to have the opportunity to obtain them.

For example, the three-legged yellow toad that offers a reward of five hundred spirit stones.

As far as Li Dahua knows, that thing has only appeared in the Yellow Mud Abyss.

Even Foundation Building cultivators dare not go to that ghostly place, the Yellow Mud Abyss.

How can one find the three-legged yellow toad hidden in the thick yellow mud?

Feeling desolate, Li Dahua turned to leave.

At that moment, he saw the high-rising sun in the depths of the hall.

That is... the will of a Gold Core!

Yes! Absolutely correct!

That is a trace of Gold Core's will!

Standing beneath that "sun," Li Dahua trembled.

Gold Core cultivators are so terrifying, even a trace of their will is something Li Dahua cannot contend with.

Floating around that "sun" are jade slips flipping up and down.

Before Li Dahua could examine them closely, a chilling voice echoed in his mind.

"A bounty for strange and astonishing things, extraordinary soul-related matters, all are welcome, and the best will be rewarded."

Hearing this, Li Dahua trembled all over.

Gold Core experts are so terrifying!

He had long heard that the consciousness of a Gold Core cultivator is no longer human, and now that he has witnessed it, it is truly shocking!

In the midst of Li Dahua's shock, another jade slip floated slowly to his side.

This is a consciousness jade slip, with the help of which one can communicate with the will of a Gold Core.

Clasping the consciousness jade slip tightly, Li Dahua couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Strange and astonishing... How would I know anything strange and astonishing?

Sigh... I'd better go back and collect the bodies honestly.

I've had my fill of wine and meat.

Old Li is destined not to get rich.

Just as Li Dahua was about to release the consciousness jade slip, his heart suddenly trembled.

In the blink of an eye, as if being struck by lightning, Li Dahua extended his right hand and firmly grasped the consciousness jade slip.

After much consideration, Li Dahua left three words on the jade slip.

- Hidden Spirit Root.

Yes, just now, Li Dahua's mind was filled with the thirty-seven caves of Xia Ming.

The speed at which that kid perceives acupoints is definitely not what a person with spiritual talent should have.

Moreover, Xia Ming also bought the Spirit Root detection stone from him.

Hidden Spirit Root!

Only a Hidden Spirit Root can do this!

Could it be that he and the Ancestral Spirit of Spiritual Talent have the same talent?

You should know that the Ancestral Spirit of Spiritual Talent is a Nascent Soul old monster!

As soon as the consciousness jade slip left his hand, Li Dahua regretted it.

Impulsive! Too impulsive!

How could that kid possibly have a Hidden Spirit Root!

If the Supreme investigates later, what should he do?

While Li Dahua was in a state of panic and unease, the jade slip flew straight towards him again.

Taking the jade slip, Li Dahua only glanced at it, and his pupils dilated, followed by a shiver running through his body.

Ignoring the gazes of the disciples around him, Li Dahua left Qing Elixir Peak without looking back.

Walking on the way back to Soul Capturing Cliff, Li Dahua clenched his fists tightly.

Stay calm!

You need to stay calm!

The more this time, the more you need to stay calm!

He slowly exhaled a breath, and his tense body finally relaxed a little.

Looking into the distance at the green Elixir Peak, a dazzling light flashed in Li Dahua's eyes.

The cold wind in the valley was extremely chilling, but Li Dahua felt as if he was carrying a pot of charcoal in his heart.

"Hahaha! Heaven blesses me, Li Dahua!"

In that jade slip, Li Dahua saw the following reply.

[If there is accurate information about the hidden Spirit Root, reward 500 spirit stones and one Foundation Building Pill.]

...

Winter, 76th month.

Xia Ming collects corpses, practices calligraphy, and electrolyzes Spirit Roots.

Winter, 77th month.

Xia Ming collects corpses, practices calligraphy, and electrolyzes Spirit Roots.

Winter, 78th month.

Jiang Liang confiscated Xia Ming's brush and exempted him from collecting corpses.

It was called "reducing workload."

That night, Xia Ming sat silently for a long time.

After obtaining the Water Spirit Root, Xia Ming found that the growth rate of other Spirit Roots had become slower.

The current corpse Spirit Roots had less and less effect on him.

Unless he could encounter a spring-like mutation of the Water Spirit Root.

But such a Spirit Root was hard to come by.

In addition to the slow progress of the Spirit Roots, Xia Ming also urgently needed Qi Refining techniques.

Without Qi Refining techniques, what use was there in just having a Water Spirit Root?

Xia Ming wasn't talented enough to create his own techniques.

...

Winter, 79th month.

Jiang Liang came down the mountain, and Li Dahua from the 17th cave invited Xia Ming for tea.

Black ink tea set, white jade tea cup, tea leaves resembling emerald clippings, a faint sandalwood fragrance.

It must be said that Li Dahua was someone who knew how to enjoy life.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xia Ming felt a sense of comfort throughout his body.

He took a long breath, and wisps of mist slowly rose from the top of Xia Ming's head.

Seeing this scene, Li Dahua's eyes were filled with joy.

Good, good, good!

There's a reaction!

You should know that the tea Xia Ming drank today is not ordinary.

The tea leaves are Lingyun tea, which can help cultivators sort out their spiritual energy.

The tea cup is carved from a whole piece of spiritual jade, with threads swirling at the bottom, truly magical.

Just these two things have cost Li Dahua almost all of his wealth.

But so what?

Li Dahua knew that it was all worth it!

As long as Xia Ming really had a hidden Spirit Root, Li Dahua would make a fortune and completely turn his life around.

While Li Dahua was fantasizing about the future, Xia Ming was also lost in thought.

Techniques... techniques...

Even if it's the worst Qi Refining technique, Xia Ming wouldn't reject it.

Strength is the foundation, everything else is just empty talk!

As the tea was being poured, Xia Ming quietly probed Li Dahua's intentions.

"To be honest, Brother Li, although I can't cultivate immortality, I greatly admire the magical methods of immortals..."

"The Great River roars, for the sect, for the ancestors. If I can glimpse the realm of immortals through this, I would die without regrets."

Hearing Xia Ming's words, Li Dahua's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Is this kid asking for Qi Refining techniques?

What use does he have for cultivation methods without a Spirit Root?

Hidden Spirit Root, it must be a hidden Spirit Root!

Overjoyed in his heart, Li Dahua naturally agreed to all of Xia Ming's requests.

"No problem, no problem, my talented brother, rest assured, I will find one or two for you."

Looking at Xia Ming in front of him, Li Dahua liked him more and more.

How could this be a wicked thief who steals business?

He's clearly a cute little spender!
