Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After traveling tens of thousands of miles west, Zhang Yuanjing stopped on a mountain ridge. This place had many birds and beasts, but no demonic beasts, and the spiritual energy was relatively weak.

He found a lush hillside and opened up a simple cave dwelling under a towering tree, taking out the three lotus pods for a closer look.

These three lotus pods were one large and two small. The large one was the size of a washbasin, with dozens of green lotus seeds embedded inside, each the size of a longan. The lotus seeds of the two smaller lotus pods were quite different. One had only twelve lotus seeds, but they were as big as peaches, full and round, with a soft color, white in the green, and the energy was condensed and refined, with a refreshing fragrance. The other also had dozens of lotus seeds, but they were a circle smaller than longan, and the color was slightly lighter, and the energy was not pure enough. This was the fourth-grade Mysterious lotus pod. In comparison, the longan-sized lotus seeds were mostly fifth-grade Mysterious, and the peach-sized lotus seeds might reach sixth-grade Mysterious.

He recalled the records in the sect's classics, these lotus seeds were quite similar to the legendary Jade Lotus Seeds, which were most magical for replenishing qi and increasing essence, and could be used as an auxiliary medicine for many kinds of pills. Any pill with this item added could enhance its medicinal effect by several percent.

After hesitating for a moment, he released Ape Thirteen, pinched out a fourth-grade Mysterious lotus seed and handed it to him: "Brother Ape, please try this."

Ape Thirteen smelled the fragrance of this thing and did not refuse. He only felt it was too small, grabbed a handful and threw it into his mouth. Just as he was about to chew, the lotus seed had already turned into a warm, fragrant, soft juice and slipped into his throat.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The golden-haired monkey lazily called out twice, sitting comfortably on the ground, but his eyes were eagerly looking at Zhang Yuanjing, obviously wanting more lotus seeds.

"Brother Ape, cultivate first." Zhang Yuanjing glared at him.

Ape Thirteen's body shook, straightened his back, sat cross-legged, concentrated his mind and guided his qi, and started to operate the Vajra Subduing Demon Skill, emitting a faint golden light, and spiritual energy gradually gathered around him, as if water vapor formed into mist.

A day later, Ape Thirteen opened his eyes, jumped up with joy, and transmitted his thoughts, saying: "Yuanjing, this lotus seed is good, both delicious and useful. With one seed, there will be considerable progress in cultivation."

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Has it been completely refined?"

Ape Thirteen nodded.

"Did you feel any discomfort?"

Ape Thirteen shook his head and transmitted his thoughts, saying: "This lotus seed melts in the mouth, and it is like a milky liquid in the stomach. It is very soft, and the refining is very fast, without any problems."

Zhang Yuanjing then pinched out the longan-sized lotus seed and handed it to him: "Try this again."

When Ape Thirteen saw that this one was bigger, he couldn't help grinning and reaching out to take it and stuff it into his mouth. He thought he could easily refine it, but he did not expect that as soon as the lotus seed entered his abdomen, a majestic energy rose up, propping up his abdomen.

His ugly face squeezed together, and he hurriedly sat down to cultivate. When the golden light appeared, his expression eased a little. However, during the meditation, his brows were always furrowed, and a painful hum was heard from his nose from time to time. The protective golden light was also strong and weak, as if it had been attacked. However, his energy was rising steadily, much stronger than refining the small lotus seed.

This time, Ape Thirteen meditated for a full seven days before exhaling a long breath, and directly fell to the ground, squeaking a few times in his mouth. Transmitting his thoughts to Zhang Yuanjing was also weak: "What grade is this lotus seed? Refining it is more tiring than a big battle. Fortunately, my body is still strong, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of this medicinal power."

Zhang Yuanjing observed Ape Thirteen's exhausted appearance and knew that with his and its current cultivation level, refining a fifth-grade Mysterious spiritual object was still too much of an overdraft. Although it could quickly improve cultivation, it was ultimately not worth the loss and would damage the foundation for no reason. He said: "The lotus seed just now was a fifth-grade Mysterious. Store this thing away for future use. Now, focus on the previous small lotus seed, which is a fourth-grade Mysterious. Well, also refine the black mud thing to make your body stronger."

After that, one man and one beast refined the fourth-grade Mysterious Jade Lotus Seed here. This thing was indeed relatively soft and easy to refine. One seed could be refined in one day. However, Zhang Yuanjing controlled his desires and did not take it so frequently, but one seed every three days, and the other two days were used to refine the body with black mud and swallow the Molten Gold Forging Pill.

In this way, after two months, one man and one beast used up this fourth-grade Mysterious Jade Lotus Seed.

Although Zhang Yuanjing knew that there were more than a dozen fourth-grade Mysterious Jade Lotus Seeds in the Jade Condensation Lake, that place must have become a place of contention, so he decisively cut off his thoughts and continued westward.

When the White Bear King and the transformed monkey demon were talking, they mentioned a place name, namely "Giant Mountain." Giant Mountain is an extremely high mountain range, running north and south, blocking the road from Demon Suppression City to Demon Saint Mountain in the west. Giant Mountain is 120 to 30 million miles away from several Demon Suppression Cities. The monkey demon's clan was responsible for searching such a large area, and could only stare at the mountain ridges where the large spiritual caves were located or famous dangerous places, and other places might not be able to take care of them.

However, Zhang Yuanjing didn't want to avoid the areas searched by the demon clan, because those places were indeed more likely to produce high-quality spiritual objects.

After traveling two million miles to the southwest, Zhang Yuanjing and Ape Thirteen entered a wide and deep canyon. This valley is called Wind and Thunder Gorge. As the name suggests, hurricanes or thunder often ravage this place. The canyon is full of strange rocks, no grass grows, and it is lifeless. But this is only the surface phenomenon. Between the strange rocks, there are countless cracks, caves, or interlayers, which may contain other worlds, but also may hide dangers.

There is also a large spiritual cave under this place, but because the environment is dangerous, no big demon is entrenched here, so it has become a place frequented by many demon core realm demon beasts whose clans are not strong.

According to what the monkey demon said, it had not been here to search before. Of course, it is hard to say now.

Zhang Yuanjing sacrificed the Refining Yang Umbrella and asked Zhang San to check the movements in the valley. There were no big demons within a hundred miles, so he slowly walked into the valley along the south side of the canyon.

In the dim sunlight, huge stones like dancing demons and ghosts blocked the road, requiring constant detours or crossings.

Between the boulders, there are often bottomless cracks, wide or narrow, silent or full of wind.

When encountering stone crevices that could not be detected, he released the blood worms and let them drill into them to check. After going hundreds of miles into the valley, he found nothing except a third-grade Mysterious three-color stone mushroom.

Night fell, and it was difficult to see your fingers in the dark valley. The mountain wind gradually rose, passing through the stone crevices, making a whirring sound, like ghosts crying.

"Howl, howl!"

The roar of a demon beast suddenly came from a distance, and then, several large birds swept across the night sky and fell into the middle of the canyon.

Zhang Yuanjing listened carefully, and in the whistling wind, there seemed to be demon beasts biting. At first, there seemed to be only two or three, and then gradually more, making the originally silent canyon extremely noisy.

He asked Zhang San, and Zhang San bluntly said that its spiritual sense could not reach it, which meant that it was at least a hundred miles away.

In this place with piled up rocks and many cracks, Zhang Yuanjing could not use the earth escape technique, so he and Ape Thirteen quietly approached with the cover of the boulders.
