Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After more than five months of travel, Zhang Yuanjing and Daoist Huoya arrived at the mortal kingdom near Erlong Mountain and found Yuan Zhilin and the others.

For the past year or so, Yuan Zhilin and Liu Jinglong had been leading a few juniors through the enjoyment and pleasures of the secular world, living a relaxed and comfortable life.

When Daoist Huoya saw that Yuan Zhilin was not only slacking off from cultivation himself but also leading a few juniors to neglect their studies, he was immediately furious and scolded him severely. However, Yuan Zhilin just chuckled and didn't take it seriously.

The group set off again, searching for Xiao Yousong's secret lair.

This person had been waiting for more than a year, feeling anxious and worried all the time that the restriction within his body would break open, causing his death. However, he didn't dare to run around and had to wait patiently.

He finally waited until the figures of Zhang Yuanjing and Daoist Huoya appeared, and he almost cried when they met.

Zhang Yuanjing comforted him kindly, removed the restrictions for him and several of his subordinates, and asked about his intentions.

However, this person had no intention of getting involved in the Xuan Tian Sect's struggle again, so he politely declined Zhang Yuanjing's attempts to win him over.

Seeing that his will was firm, Zhang Yuanjing let him leave and told him that there was a cultivation treasure land called Xinghua Continent to the south, which was relatively tolerant of rogue cultivators. If he couldn't find a stable place to cultivate, he might as well go there and take a look.

Those Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators who had been captured were also allowed to leave. If the Second Dragon Lord had placed restrictions within their bodies, as long as they asked for help, they would be removed.

After dealing with this matter, the group took a low-grade Wind-Riding Carriage and traveled 1.2 million miles north.

A large mountain range stretching for thousands of miles appeared on the horizon, showing a majestic and imposing aura from afar.

As they approached, they saw that the mountains, forests, springs, and waterfalls were all ink-jade in color, just like the legends said. This was the Splashed Ink Mountain Range. The famous Ink Bamboo Manor was located on the shores of Ink Rhyme Lake in the center of this mountain.

The reason why Ink Bamboo Manor was famous was first of all because of its name. Among the sects in the cultivation world, those named after manors were not non-existent, but they were extremely rare.

Secondly, it was due to its location. The Splashed Ink Mountain Range was true to its name, like a splashed ink landscape painting, with a unique mountain terrain, freehand shape, and detached style.

Thirdly, it was due to its cultivation method. The cultivation method inherited by this manor was called the Water Ink Landscape Art, which followed the path of formations. It was best at arranging formations based on the mountain and river terrain. If there was sufficient time and spiritual materials to arrange the formation, it was said that a Core Formation cultivator could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. Of course, this was just a legend, but its formation attainments were indeed extremely high, and one or two formations could even be compared to the Xuan Tian Sect's formation inheritance.

Faced with this mountain and scenery, everyone felt very novel, and Zhang Yu couldn't wait to jump out of the Wind-Riding Carriage and explore the mountain.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "We will be staying here for a while in the future, and there will be plenty of time for you to enjoy it. Let's go visit the owner of this place first."

Among the continuous mountains, on the shore of a green lake, there was a manor with pavilions and towers that were light and elegant, surrounded by dark green bamboo, as if painted there.

The various buildings of the manor were perfectly integrated with the surrounding landscape. If one didn't intentionally try to identify it, it would be difficult to see that this was a manor.

Daoist Huoya looked into the distance and sighed, "The world is so big, there is everything. If I hadn't set foot on solid ground, I would have thought it was a splashed ink landscape painting. If there is a large formation on the shore of this lake, it must be completely integrated with the mountain terrain. Once you enter this lake, it's like entering this painting, and it will probably be very difficult to get out again."

Zhang Yuanjing also praised, "No wonder Junior Brother Yuanqing and Uncle Yu are willing to entrust this place to a Foundation Establishment cultivator to manage. With this large formation guarding it, even ten Core Formation cultivators would find it difficult to break through the formation by force."

They didn't dare to rush in and stopped the Wind-Riding Carriage on the lake. Zhang Yuanjing said loudly, "Is Junior Brother Liu Yuanjin here? I am Zhang Yuanjing, here to pay a visit with Uncle Yu's jade slip."

Yu Tianwan only took two disciples in his life. The eldest disciple was Li Yuanjia, who failed to break through to Core Formation and passed away decades ago. The person in charge here was the second disciple, Liu Yuanjin, who was not young and whose cultivation was still at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yu Tianwan valued opportunity above all else when accepting disciples, and he didn't pay too much attention to aptitude, so the cultivation talent of both disciples was only average. It was only with his master's great effort that they were able to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

After a while, a deep voice came from the manor, "Senior Brother Zhang, please send my master's jade slip over."

Zhang Yuanjing took out the jade slip that Yu Tianwan had given him, wrapped it in a ball of mana, and gently sent it out. The jade slip flew slowly towards the manor on the lakeside like a ball of white light.

About ten feet above the manor, a slight spatial vibration suddenly appeared, and the white light disappeared.

After a few breaths, a figure rushed up from below and quickly revealed his true face.

This was a handsome middle-aged Daoist with clear and emotional eyes, as if he had experienced all kinds of worldly affairs and returned to simplicity, possessing a mellow temperament.

He bowed to Zhang Yuanjing and said respectfully, "Liu Yuanjin greets Senior Brother Zhang. Please forgive me for any negligence!"

Zhang Yuanjing quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Liu, you don't need to be so polite."

He then introduced Daoist Huoya to him, followed by Yuan Zhilin and Liu Jinglong, two peers, and finally Mei Zhenyi, Huo Zhengkai, Zhang Yu, Han Ji, and Zhang Jun, a few juniors.

He also released Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast from the spirit beast pouch and introduced them to Liu Yuanjin, and then let the two beasts go to the mountains to move around.

Liu Yuanjin was quite surprised in his heart, but his face was calm. He greeted everyone with composure, then opened the gate of the formation and invited them into the manor.

Inside the manor, it was different from what it looked like from the outside. All the buildings, whether it was the magnificent main hall, the exquisite pavilions, or the unique houses, were all built with a kind of ink-colored rock, supplemented by bamboo and wood from the mountains, and paintings were made on some parts, combining the original texture, color, and shape of the materials with the whimsical ideas of the paintings, integrating them into one, showing a refined and extraordinary, ingenious temperament, making people feel very happy to see.

Liu Yuanjin led everyone to tour the manor, and then arranged rooms for them, as well as disciples to serve them.

Because Ink Bamboo Manor had secretly colluded with the Thousand Swords Sect, more than a hundred people below the Core Formation stage in the sect were all killed by Liu Yuanqing and Yu Tianwan with thunderous means. The existing Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators were all transferred from affiliated sects to temporarily take care of this place.

After that, Zhang Yuanjing and others lived in Ink Bamboo Manor.

Zhang Yuanjing practiced diligently every day, using Rongling Pills to improve his cultivation, and focused on cultivating various medicinal materials for refining Yishen Pills and Rongjin Duandan Pills. The days passed peacefully.

Yuan Zhilin was supervised by Daoist Huoya to cultivate, and he only felt miserable. However, Daoist Huoya was determined this time and made a harsh statement that he would not be allowed to leave Ink Bamboo Manor until he reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Zhang Yu lost her playmates and could only cultivate in the manor except for occasionally looking for Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast.

Liu Jinglong and Han Ji, in addition to their cultivation, assisted Liu Yuanjin in managing the manor according to Zhang Yuanjing's instructions. They were also well-organized and clear in their regulations, which Liu Yuanjin greatly appreciated.

However, less than three months later, a mid-grade Wind-Riding Carriage arrived from the north, breaking through the clouds and riding the wind. Liu Yuanqing jumped out of the carriage, covered in dust, and shouted, "Senior Brother Yuanjing, come and meet me quickly!"
