Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 229 The Seven Immortals of the North Pole

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation":

The formation was activated, and the two snowman twin girls were led into the courtyard.

Li Ping looked slightly surprised.

He knew that not all alien races were enemies of humanity.

Savages, who are vicious creatures that enjoy feeding on other races, including humans, are naturally the mortal enemies of the human race.

During the ancient war between the hundred races, the barbarians were almost wiped out by the ancient human cultivators, with only a small number escaping to remote areas such as the far north.

Most Yetis are gentle by nature and have a fairly good relationship with the humans in the far north.

Furthermore, as long as they register their identity, Yetis can freely enter and leave the human race's main city.

Many Yetis also live in the human capital city for extended periods.

A typical example is Shi Yutong's mother, who not only became a Daoist partner with a human cultivator but also successfully formed her Core and became a True Person.

However, these were all things he had heard about and experienced.

Because he's a homebody and doesn't like going out.

This was the first time he had seen a Yeti since arriving in the far north.

Especially since they were a pair of beautiful twin girls, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"I, Bai Yi, apologize for disturbing you, fellow Daoist." A clear, cool voice came from the snowman-like girl in front of her. She smiled and said, "My sister and I have just moved into Changping Ward and have come to visit our neighbors, bringing some unique spiritual fruits from our clan. I hope we haven't disturbed you, fellow Daoist?"

Two snowman twin girls, slender with long, straight legs, and an icy, beautiful demeanor.

One of them is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and the other is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The one who spoke was the girl in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; judging from her language, she was the elder of the twins.

She claims her name is "Bai Yi," which is probably not her real name, but a human name she gave herself.

Yetis live among humans and their favorite surnames are things like "white" or "clean".

The main reason is that these two characters perfectly describe the characteristics of snow, making them a surname that the snowman tribe prefers.

Li Ping nodded slightly, took the fruit basket from Bai Yi's hand, and led the two to sit down in the pavilion.

At Li Ping's invitation, the two snow maidens swayed their slender waists slightly and sat with their legs together, looking like a pair of snow fairies, quite a sight to behold.

Then, Li Ping used his divine sense to control Jia Er, who carried spiritual tea into the pavilion and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of the two girls.

"Eh... Fellow Daoist's servant?" Bai Yi didn't pay much attention at first, but when her divine sense fell on Jia Er, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Because she clearly sensed that the servant did not have a trace of human presence, but at the same time, there was no unmistakable stench like that of a corpse being refined.

Li Ping explained with a smile, "My surname is Li. You two can just call me by my surname. As for this servant... he is actually a puppet."

"A puppet!" Bai Yi exclaimed in surprise, "So Fellow Daoist Li, you are a rare puppeteer."

Li Ping waved his hand: "It's just a low-level puppet, only good for doing odd jobs, nothing special."

He used his puppet in battle only twice: once to kill Hua Hong, with no survivors, and the second time to kill the Yu Ling Sect cultivators in the secret realm, witnessed only by Xiao Yunzhi.

Furthermore, when a puppet does not unleash its spiritual power, it is almost like an inanimate object, and its level cannot be judged from its appearance.

At this moment, wanting to keep his true abilities hidden, Li Ping deliberately downplayed the level of the puppet he possessed.

Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to talk much more, and didn't say anything more about the puppet issue, Bai Yi turned to Li Ping and started exchanging pleasantries about other things.

During this time, Bai Yi's younger sister whispered a few words, and Li Ping then learned that her name was Bai Jing.

The two snowman girls looked gentle and harmless, as innocent as white rabbits.

But Li Ping will not underestimate them.

The fact that two female cultivators could cultivate to the level of Foundation Establishment cultivators is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface.

He had heard that the snowwoman female cultivator was the most popular dual cultivation vessel among human cultivators, and the two women in front of him were extremely rare twins who had both cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage. They were the most beloved by human cultivators, and might very well be mistresses kept by some high-level cultivator.

Now, the monsters in the icy sea are rampaging, and the beast tide is surging.

Perhaps the high-level cultivator was worried about the two women's safety and specially sent them to Flying Snow City, which is far away from the icy sea.

Of course, this was just Li Ping's wild guess.

Perhaps the two women successfully established their foundations through their own abilities, but that only further confirms that they are not ordinary people.

"Fellow Daoists Bai, please take care."

Li Ping chatted with the two women for a while, and then the two women got up to say goodbye.

……

After watching the two women leave, Li Ping's gaze fell on the two full cups of tea on the table.

During their conversation, neither woman touched the spiritual tea offered by Li Ping, behaving very cautiously.

"So cautious..." Li Ping shook his head, feeling as if his sincerity had been misplaced.

His gaze then fell on the half-basket of spiritual fruits that the two women had given him. After examining it, Li Ping found nothing suspicious.

Although he was immune to all poisons, he did not crave culinary pleasures and had no desire to taste such things of unknown origin.

……

The visit from the two snowman twin girls' neighbor was just a side story.

Li Ping didn't care too much; he was focused solely on cultivation and had nothing else on him.

But to his dismay...

Several months later, having somehow learned that Li Ping was a high-level alchemist, Bai Yi visited him again.

This time, the other party's attitude changed drastically; they were much gentler towards Li Ping, and the gifts they brought were even more precious than before.

After talking with Li Ping for a while, Bai Yi smiled and told him about the alchemy.

She was going to refine a second-grade superior elixir called the "Essence Pill," which would help mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The medicinal herbs needed to refine the Essence Pill are extremely precious, no less than those needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Li Ping had no idea how the two snowman girls managed to gather enough of them with their combined strength.

However, Li Ping had not yet absorbed enough of the innate energy from the second-grade high-quality pills.

Bai Yi asked him to refine the Essence Pill, which would not only earn him a considerable fee but also enhance the foundation of his Health Preservation Technique. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

Upon receiving Li Ping's affirmative promise, Bai Yi couldn't help but show a joyful expression.

A few days later, Bai Yi arrived at the door with the corresponding elixir as agreed.

Li Ping led him into the alchemy room and, under his watchful eye, began refining elixirs.

More than half a month later, the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened by colorful clouds, and the fragrance of elixirs filled the entire alchemy room.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yi, who had been tense, gradually relaxed and revealed a look of joy: "The pill is complete."

Whoosh!

Li Ping circulated his magic power, and the Essence Pill flew out of the furnace and floated in front of Bai Yi. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, you can take a look."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately scanned the pills in front of her with her divine sense. After confirming that they were correct, she took out a jade bottle from her storage bag and put all the pills into it.

"Fellow Daoist Li's alchemy skills are indeed profound; I admire them greatly." Having witnessed Li Ping's alchemy process firsthand, Bai Yi's eyes shone with even greater fervor.

When it came time to pay the final payment, she was very quick and didn't hesitate at all.

Clearly, Li Ping's superb alchemy skills had completely won her over.

……

Inside the cave rented by the two snowman girls.

The seven cultivators, including two young girls, were discussing in hushed tones. It was Bai Yi who spoke first.

She said excitedly, "When I went to ask Li Ping to refine pills, I specially brought my second brother's treasure-hunting beast with me. During the process, the treasure-hunting beast was restless. If I hadn't forcibly suppressed it, I'm afraid the little guy would have run out of the spirit beast bag."

This has never happened before. Li Ping's wealth is probably far greater than we guessed, and he likely possesses at least one extremely valuable treasure!

Upon hearing her words, the other cultivators also showed expressions of surprise.

With the treasure-hunting beast's abilities, it naturally wouldn't make a mistake.

The most valuable treasures for them are at least third-tier items.

Items of the third tier are priceless.

If they could capture Li Ping and seize the treasures on his body, it would be enough for the seven of them to cultivate for a long time.

An elderly man with a goatee and a triangular face pondered for a moment before stopping the others from speaking: "This matter cannot be rushed. Li Ping is not even interested in the ruins of the Tianqiao Sect, which shows that he is an extremely cautious person. Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister should first build a good relationship with him, and when the time is right, lure him here and capture him in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing his words, the other six figures reacted with varying expressions.

The barbarian, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, seemed very impatient: "Big brother, you're being too cautious. Why bother with all that? You and second brother are both in the late-Foundation Establishment stage, plus me, fourth brother, fifth sister, and the others. We can just kill him and take the storage bag. Seven against one, what could possibly go wrong?"

The triangular-faced old man shook his head: "Li Ping refines pills for the Flying Snow Sect and has established a good relationship with them. If we directly attack the cave and fail to take him down in a short time, it will easily alert the cultivators of the Flying Snow Sect."

When a Core Formation cultivator arrives, none of the seven of us will escape!

The barbarians were still not convinced.

The middle-aged cultivator dressed as a scholar in white robes next to the triangular-faced old man unfolded his folding fan, shook his head, and said, "What you say, elder brother, is wise and experienced. I agree with your suggestion."

After saying that, he looked at the barbarian and said, "We, the Seven Immortals of the North Pole, are sworn brothers and will one day reach the Core Formation stage together and roam the world freely. How can you be so impatient with the treasures on a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Before the barbarian could speak, the triangular-faced old man laughed again and said, "It just so happens that the essence pills and spiritual herbs we collected have already been refined into pills by Li Ping. My second brother and I don't need these pills, so you five can divide them up."

Upon hearing this, the barbarian was overjoyed, as were the others.

Bai Jing and Xie Xing, who ranked lower among the Seven Immortals, were no exception. Although their cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, they would not need to use Essence Pills for a long time.

However, obtaining the Essence Pill early can serve as a safeguard for the future.

After distributing the pills, the seven of them began to discuss in hushed tones, devising a specific strategy to capture Li Ping.

The wealth accumulated by second-tier high-grade alchemists was enough to excite them just by thinking about it.
