Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 198 Heading to the Great Zhou

It's hard to come up with a good title, so let's lock in every update of "Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation".

On the wasteland.

As Li Ping flew back, he spread out his divine sense to search and soon found Wei Yiling.

At this moment, Wei Yiling was unconscious, with a black tiger spirit beast guarding her side.

After Li Ping controlled the purple-gold flying fork and killed the black tiger spirit beast as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, his gaze fell on Wei Yiling lying on the ground.

Whether the woman was poisoned or not, she lay motionless on the ground, but her face and the skin all over her body were flushed, as if she were aroused.

"Could that person have drugged her?" Li Ping immediately guessed the reason.

After thinking for a moment, he opened the storage bag of the person he had killed and searched carefully inside. With his alchemy skills, he easily found the remaining half of the Soft Dragon Powder, as well as the antidote placed with it.

"So you were poisoned by the Soft Dragon Powder. But I remember that the Soft Dragon Powder only paralyzes the body and magic, and has no aphrodisiac effect." Li Ping's expression turned strange: "You're already unconscious, what are you thinking about?"

He is now certain that the female cultivator is not with the person he killed; this was not a honey trap, but a genuine "hero saves the beauty" situation.

Without much hesitation, Li Ping approached the female cultivator, took out the antidote for the Soft Dragon Powder, and sprinkled it on her face.

Then he stood aside and waited silently.

The antidote took effect, and soon, the female cultivator's face showed signs of struggle, and her ten fingers began to tremble slowly.

Clearly, she has begun to regain consciousness.

Li Ping's expression remained unchanged as he patiently waited for her to wake up.

His main goal was to find out the identity of the person who died at his hands; otherwise, he would have left long ago after curing the female cultivator's poison.

He had no interest whatsoever in receiving any reward for saving people; he only wanted to avoid getting involved in any karma.

Suddenly—

The female cultivator opened her eyes.

Li Ping smiled and said, "You're awake..."

Before he could finish speaking, the female cultivator jumped up and hugged him tightly, her rosy lips pressed against his ear, her breath hot against his skin.

At the same time, he kept tearing at his clothes and rubbing his body against Li Ping, looking extremely hot and restless.

"this……"

Li Ping couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. After the initial shock, he suddenly pushed the female cultivator away with all his might.

The force was so great that the female cultivator stumbled and sat down on the ground.

He had no interest in taking advantage of this female cultivator.

Not to mention that this female cultivator's origins are unknown, and it's unclear whether she carries any poison.

Even Li Ping's own morals wouldn't allow him to do such a thing. He didn't consider himself a good person, but he couldn't bring himself to take advantage of someone else's power.

The female cultivator was pushed to the ground by Li Ping. Her eyes shone with desire as she tore at her clothes with her hands, revealing large areas of her body in a short time.

Seeing the discomfort in which she rubbed her legs together, Li Ping realized that this female cultivator might have been poisoned by more than one kind of poison.

However, he did not find the antidote for this lewd poison in his storage bag, so he was unable to treat the symptoms.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ping sighed, walked closer to the female cultivator, subdued her, and placed his palm on her forehead to infuse her with the power of the Nourishing Life Technique.

The power of the Nourishing Life Technique could even save the Seven-Colored Illusionary Light Butterfly, which was on the verge of death and had only a weak life force left. Now, simply clearing the female cultivator's body of the poison of lust would naturally be a piece of cake.

Li Ping manipulated the power of the Nourishing Life Technique to circulate through the female cultivator's body, clearing away all the toxins.

Even the residual soft dragon powder left after taking the antidote was eliminated.

However, Li Ping was helpless against the Soft Dragon Powder mixed in with the female cultivator's magic power.

Aside from dual cultivation techniques, the two different sources of magical power are incompatible.

Therefore, during the process of detoxifying the female cultivator, Li Ping carefully avoided her dantian area, which prevented him from discovering the golden core inside her dantian.

Of course, he never thought of it that way, assuming that the female cultivator was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After all, what kind of Core Formation cultivator would be ambushed and killed like this by a Foundation Establishment cultivator? How stupid would a Core Formation cultivator have to be?

After detoxifying, Li Ping noticed that the female cultivator's eyes had become clear, so he moved his hand away and stood a few feet away from her.

……

When Wei Yiling regained consciousness, she immediately looked around and found herself lying in a rough wilderness. A few feet away from her stood a figure in a blue robe.

"The fairy is awake?" Before she could think any further, a calm voice sounded in her ear: "Fairy, please get dressed first."

"Huh?" Wei Yiling then noticed her disheveled appearance, with most of her breasts exposed and her white thighs also showing.

She quickly straightened her clothes, stood up with a mixture of grief and indignation, and said, "You did all this."

Li Ping watched as she straightened her clothes, then shook his head slightly upon hearing this: "Me? Fairy, you misunderstand. Fairy was poisoned by lust and couldn't control herself, tearing her clothes open. I was merely removing the poison from your body."

"Did I make all of this myself?" Wei Yiling was, after all, a Core Formation cultivator with an incredibly powerful soul.

Even if what they did before was done while unconscious, upon careful reflection, they can still recall vague images from their own memories.

Her clothes were disheveled, indeed torn by herself. In her confusion and passion, she even embraced the cultivator in front of her, only to be pushed away without any mercy.

Thinking of this, Wei Yiling's face flushed slightly, but at the same time, she felt a strange sense of annoyance: "Am I that annoying? He actually pushed me away with so much force."

Normally, she is as cold and aloof as an iceberg, and she is indifferent to everyone, especially men.

But for some reason, Wei Yiling felt a genuine fondness for the ordinary-looking cultivator in front of her.

If any male cultivator had seen her disheveled appearance, she would have spat out her magic weapon and chopped him up like a watermelon.

Although her magical power has not yet recovered and she is no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the short term, and she has to compromise, she would never just feel resentment in her heart like she does now.

Even Wei Yiling herself didn't realize this.

……

"Where is Hua Hong?"

Thinking of that scoundrel who plotted against her, Wei Yiling felt a surge of anger. She wished she could tear Hua Hong to pieces and chop him into mincemeat.

Seeing that Wei Yiling had straightened her clothes and her expression had returned to normal, Li Ping said calmly, "If the fairy is asking about the person who was chasing us earlier, he has already died at my hands."

"Hua Hong is dead? You killed him?" Upon hearing this, Wei Yiling was taken aback.

She knew perfectly well that Hua Hong had a distinguished background, possessed numerous treasures, and was far more powerful than the average late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The unassuming cultivator in front of me, whose cultivation level was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, actually managed to kill Hua Hong?

Li Ping nodded: "Please tell me, Fairy, the specific origin of Hua Hong."

"No, you're lying! Hua Hong didn't die at all." Wei Yiling scanned Li Ping with her divine sense and found no trace of the Blood God's Guidance on his body, so she immediately realized what was going on.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot escape the Blood God's Guidance. If he really kills Hua Hong, the Blood God's Guidance will inevitably be planted in his soul.

Li Ping frowned, and the image of the blood shadow that had burst out from the other party's body immediately came to mind.

At the same time, he began to doubt the identity of the female cultivator in front of him; her reaction seemed a bit off.

He spoke coldly, "Oh? How did you learn that Hua Hong is not dead?"

"I..." Wei Yiling wanted to say that she had not discovered the Blood God's Guide, but when she thought about her current weak state and worried that Li Ping would "exterminate demons and protect the righteous path", she dared not continue.

He then said matter-of-factly, "Hua Hong is the disciple of Hua Wuji, the Great Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect. Moreover, he has a blood relationship with Hua Wuji and is deeply favored by him. He possesses many treasures. How could you, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly be his match?"

"A descendant of the Blood Shadow Sect's Grand Elder, Lao Wuji." Upon hearing this, Li Ping's brows furrowed deeply.

He took a deep breath before continuing, "Hua Hong did indeed die at my hands. The antidote for the Soft Dragon Powder was found in his storage bag. What is Hua Wuji's cultivation level?"

"Really dead?" Suspicious, Wei Yiling didn't hide Li Ping's thoughts and honestly answered, "Late stage of Core Formation."

"Late stage of Core Formation?"

Having inadvertently provoked such a powerful figure, Li Ping's expression immediately turned ugly. He couldn't help but look at Wei Yiling, pondering the possibility of killing her to silence her.

But Wei Yiling's next words made him completely give up on the idea.

Wei Yiling solemnly explained, "I know that Hua Wuji's cultivation method includes a special secret technique that can track auras from tens of thousands of miles away. Now that Hua Hong is dead, as long as you and I remain in the Western Wilderness, he will find us sooner or later."

Now, Li Ping's expression became even more unpleasant.

What kind of situation is this?

For no apparent reason, he offended a powerful figure in the late stage of Core Formation.

If what the female cultivator in front of him said was true, then he could only flee immediately and hide in the secret cave that Yan Liming had discovered to feel at ease.

"I wonder why the fairy clashed with Hua Hong?" Li Ping asked.

"Ahem..." Wei Yiling blinked, then began to make up a story.

According to her, she was a rogue cultivator from the Qi Kingdom who came to the Immortal City to escape the war. However, to her surprise, she encountered Hua Hong in the Immortal City and was chased by him. In desperation, she had no choice but to ask Li Ping for help.

After hearing the story, Li Ping had no interest in judging its veracity, and simply nodded: "The fairy's magical power should be fully restored within half an hour, so I'll take my leave now."

Faced with the threat of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, he was now in a hurry to escape.

"Wait... staying in the Western Wilderness is a dead end for you." As if possessed, Wei Yiling called out to Li Ping, "Why don't you come with me to the Great Zhou? Only by going to the Great Zhou will you have a chance of survival."

"Oh? The Great Zhou?" Wei Yiling's words made Li Ping stop in his tracks.

This was the first time he had ever heard of this place name.

Wei Yiling explained, "Yes, Great Zhou. As long as you cross the territory occupied by the four sects of the Holy and Demonic Paths, and then traverse the boundless ocean, you can reach Great Zhou."
