Seeking Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: From a Low-Ranking Corpse to an Eternal Demon God

Chapter 173 Entering the Sect, Devouring Dragon Gu Bloodline

"Seeking Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: From a Low-Rank Corpse to an Eternal Demon God" is currently being serialized on Cola Novels and is not to be missed!

Mountain Puppet Sect.

After entering the mountain gate, the group boarded a simple wooden flying boat.

The group boarded a simple wooden flying boat and soared up the mountain road, passing through the lush forest canopy. In no time, they arrived at the mountainside.

On this open space, many antique-style pavilions have been built.

In front of one of the nine-story pavilions, an elderly man with white hair, who had reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, was already waiting.

Upon seeing He Quan arrive with Lin Li and the others, he hurriedly took two steps forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Li, and presented a friendly smile, saying, "I am He Sheng, an elder of the Alchemy Peak of the Puppet Sect of the Lower Mountain, greetings to Fellow Daoist Liu!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu's fire control technique within that jade talisman is truly exquisite!"

"I wonder if what my friend said is true?"

"Is it really possible to refine top-tier first-class pills!?"

Upon seeing Lin Li, He Sheng couldn't wait to ask him a question.

Notice.

In the communication jade talisman, Lin Li explained that he had come to seek refuge as a top-tier first-order alchemist after his family suffered misfortune, and hoped to find protection from a Foundation Establishment power.

As a top-tier first-order alchemist, he would be an honored guest in any Foundation Establishment power.

Furthermore, Lin Li appears remarkably young.

In the future, he is extremely likely to become a second-tier alchemist.

The talent that Lin Li has shown alone would make any Foundation Establishment power unable to refuse him.

Using this identity, one can live in seclusion within the Mountain Puppet Sect, waiting for the collapse of the Wooden Vine Mountain Secret Realm, and then steal the space-type spirit stones within, thus having a way out.

In this life, I successfully joined the Xuandu Cave and obtained the Xuanmen cultivation method I wanted. However, I am only at the early stage of Core Formation. With such talent, I must strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage or above in this life.

Whether Master Linchuan can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage is still unknown, so he must prepare for his own future.

Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if someone with the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator failed to advance to the Enlightenment stage.

"nature."

Lin Li finished speaking.

He raised his right hand, and a cluster of cold white spiritual flames instantly ignited from the fingertips of his five fingers—a portion of the power displayed by the Frosttail Netherfire.

The spirit fire controlled by the talent attribute is also very easy to manipulate.

"good!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu's spiritual fire is quite powerful."

"I admire you!"

After sensing the oppressive aura emanating from the spiritual flames at Lin Li's fingertips, which even made him feel uneasy, He Sheng immediately became convinced.

This is definitely a top-tier spiritual fire in Qi refining, and to be able to control such a powerful spiritual fire at one's fingertips already represents an extremely high level of control.

Experts see the details.

He Sheng is also an alchemist, the only first-tier superior alchemist in the Mountain Puppet Sect.

That's why, after the He family patriarch of their Mountain Puppet Sect received the transmission talisman, he immediately handed it over to He Sheng, the only first-tier superior alchemist in the sect, so that he could test the Liu family alchemist who had come to seek refuge.

If it's an imposter, lacking real skills, then there's a way to deal with such a cultivator.

If they truly have some skill, then naturally we should try to win them over.

Regardless of whether the other party came to avoid trouble, their alchemy skills were genuine. Having them refine top-tier first-grade spirit pills would be a highly profitable business for their Mountain Puppet Sect.

"My skills are lacking, please forgive my poor performance."

Lin Li appeared humble.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Your skills far surpass those of this old man."

"Fellow Daoist, please come with me to meet one of the Foundation Establishment patriarchs of our Mountain Puppet Sect!"

"Afterwards, you can join our Mountain Puppet Sect. The sect is currently lacking a genius like you who is skilled in all the arts of cultivation."

"Who is this person next to you?"

He Sheng looked at Bai Ling'er, who was standing next to Lin Li, and asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"This is my personal Taoist acolyte."

"Little White, stay here and don't wander around."

Lin Li said to Bai Ling'er.

"Yes, Master."

Bai Ling'er immediately got into character, hurriedly bowing respectfully and showing it to He Sheng.

"I see."

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me!"

He Sheng nodded slowly, and then continued to fly up the mountain with Lin Li. A gust of wind lifted them up from the mountainside and they flew through the sea of ​​clouds that covered the peaks in the blink of an eye.

By this time, Lin Li's divine sense had already thoroughly explored the entire Mountain Puppet Sect, inside and out.

There were indeed two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the human race in this mountain. The two human cultivators had peaceful auras and were a combination of an old man and a young man in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. However, although they were early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, their spiritual power seemed to be several times stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level.

This is likely related to the puppetry techniques they practice; controlling puppets requires a significant amount of spiritual energy.

Deep within one of the caves of an elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator in these mountains, there is a second-tier low-level puppet. The puppet has a bull's head and a human body, sharp teeth in its mouth, four thick arms, each with a huge claw, and exudes a dangerous aura.

Within this second-tier, low-grade demon puppet, there is a demon essence sealed within.

This demonic puppet does indeed seem to possess formidable combat power; at least it wouldn't be at a disadvantage against most early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In particular, this demonic puppet also contains two second-tier low-grade spirit talismans. Both talismans are attack-type. When fighting against a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level, if the spirit talismans in the body are used together, it will definitely be able to suppress the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level.

Just a moment later.

He Sheng then led Lin Li to a three-story pavilion on the mountaintop, and they flew down from the entrance of the courtyard in front of the pavilion.

He Sheng walked steadily into the courtyard.

Once the two entered the courtyard, they could see with their own eyes a thin old man with white hair and a youthful face. He was wearing a large white robe and was looking at Lin Li and He Sheng with a smile.

"Greetings, Ancestor..."

Upon seeing the He family patriarch, who was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, He Sheng hurriedly bowed respectfully.

At this moment, He Yunfeng was very satisfied with the young alchemist who had come to seek refuge. He had carefully examined him with his divine sense and found no problems, especially the scene of him using spiritual fire in the mountains.

The fluctuations of magical power within the other party's body were very slight. Judging from this, the spiritual fire of the alchemist in front of him was the other party's talent.

It's a good thing that someone with such talent can be admitted to their Mountain Puppet Sect.

Moreover, if such a prodigy alchemist is properly trained in the future, he will surely be able to advance to the second-tier alchemist in one fell swoop, and may even have the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future.

After a while.

He Sheng led Lin Li away from the pavilion courtyard, and Lin Li also received a jade slip containing the insights of a second-level alchemist.

For a first-tier alchemist, the insights of a second-tier alchemist are extremely important. This also shows that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Mountain Puppet Sect are very satisfied with Lin Li's identity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to give such a generous gift so soon after joining the Mountain Puppet Sect.

Furthermore, Lin Li was promised ample freedom.

All you need to do is refine two first-grade or higher quality pills for the Mountain Puppet Sect each year. It's not mandatory to refine top-grade first-grade pills. Moreover, the materials used for the pills you refine will all come from within the sect.

The sect will also give more than 50% of the spirit stones for the pills that are refined.

Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Mountain Puppet Sect promised that if Lin Li were to sign a spiritual contract within the Mountain Puppet Sect and remain there for more than thirty years, he would find a way to obtain a second-tier alchemist's inheritance.

This is no small promise.

...

Several hours later.

The sky was getting dark.

The Little Jade Dragon Peak is located a few miles outside the main peak of the Mountain Puppet Sect.

This peak is much shorter than the main peak, but it is one of the many second-order branches in the Muteng Mountain range.

This is where the He family patriarch arranged for Lin Li to live. He entrusted Lin Li with the management of the alchemy room on Little Jade Dragon Peak. The spiritual energy environment on Little Jade Dragon Peak usually relies on the spirit-gathering array in the mountain.

The cultivation environment in the alchemy room is at least of the second-tier lower level.

"You're being treated really well, fellow Daoist!"

"The alchemy room on this Little Jade Dragon Peak is extremely suitable."

"The cultivation environment of a second-tier spiritual vein is comparable to my current alchemy room."

"Fellow Daoist's talent far surpasses mine."

"However, I have been immersed in alchemy for a long time. If you have any questions, you are welcome to come to my alchemy room on the main peak to discuss them further."

He Sheng led Lin Li to the alchemy room on Little Jade Dragon Peak. Only a few Daoist boys were still there, sweeping and fetching water, as well as a mid-level first-rank alchemist, who was already very old.

At this age, refining pills is extremely difficult for me.

After the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the He family used a communication talisman to inform the elderly alchemist of the He family that at his current age, even if he tried his best, he could only refine a few batches of first-grade medium-level pills throughout the year.

The other party was also very happy. To have such a young alchemist with the potential to break through to the second level of alchemy join the sect was something they were willing to give up, let alone give up the alchemy room on Little Jade Dragon Peak.

Even if he were asked to be the other party's alchemy apprentice, he wouldn't even flinch.

He wouldn't harbor any resentment towards something that would benefit the sect.

When He Sheng and Lin Li flew down from the sky into the courtyard, an elderly alchemist appeared in just a few breaths. He was dressed in a gray robe, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his body was stained with a bit of death aura.

Lin Li could tell at a glance that this old alchemist probably wouldn't last a year.

They have at most nine months to live.

He walked with a light, airy gait, and the servants and disciples in the courtyard quickly gathered together, lined up in a row, heads bowed, not daring to utter a sound.

"My name is He Sheng, and I greet Master Liu Dan!"

He Yidong bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, his tone extremely polite.

"Master Liu, I'll take my leave now. You can learn about the alchemy room here at your own pace."

Upon seeing this, He Sheng bowed and hurriedly left.

It wouldn't be good for him to stay any longer, since this place now belongs to Master Liu, and he's somewhat overstepping his bounds.

Then.

Lin Li then had the old alchemist He introduce the alchemy room on Little Jade Dragon Peak. After that, he chose the house with the most abundant spiritual energy as his place of seclusion.

After that, Lin Li let Master He choose for himself whether to stay or leave.

After Master He asked Lin Li for his opinion, Lin Li simply told him to follow his heart.

"Master He, your lifespan is nearing its end. Why not take this opportunity to fulfill the wishes you haven't yet completed?"

Lin Li looked at Master He in a calm tone.

now.

When Master He heard what Lin Li said, his heart skipped a beat, and the faces of some long-deceased people appeared in his mind.

His advanced age is a result of taking many qi-nourishing pills.

My old friends have all passed away many years ago.

Some died in sect wars, while others perished at the hands of demons while traveling and undertaking sect missions. A few years ago, my last old friend died in a demon beast tide.

The only thing I still have some attachment to is my deceased friend's only son.

"Thank you, Alchemist Liu. I will take my leave now."

After bowing respectfully with a carefree air, He Yidong took out a simple willow-leaf flying boat. He boarded the boat and activated it, and the boat took off, slowly leaving Little Jade Dragon Peak. Although the flying boat was not fast, it was very stable.

...

Night was falling.

Inside the alchemy room on Little Jade Dragon Peak.

"I didn't expect that."

"There are such good things in the alchemy room of Little Jade Dragon Peak."

At this moment, Lin Li took out a dark, rice-grain-sized insect egg from the spirit material storehouse in his right hand. Although there was no aura inside the insect egg, its shell was extremely hard, much harder than some second-tier medium-grade spirit materials, making it quite extraordinary.

According to the jade slip in the Spirit Material Treasury, this second-tier, unnamed spiritual material was found by the spiritual plant cultivators of their Mountain Puppet Sect in the Wood Vine Mountain Secret Realm, who were turning over the soil in the spiritual fields.

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Mountain Puppet Sect had investigated it, but in the end they could only determine that it was some kind of second-tier spirit iron. It was then transferred to the spirit material warehouse on Little Jade Dragon Peak.

Lin Li channeled streams of pure spiritual energy from his body into it.

Several dozen breaths later.

Within the dark insect egg, a wisp of mottled spiritual energy was born, mixed with the aura of the insect egg itself.

Lin Li immediately refined that wisp of spiritual energy into his body.

[Inclusion successful]

[Third-tier superior bloodline, Dragon Devouring Gu! (Extremely damaged)]

When Lin Li saw this bloodline indication, his pupils contracted slightly.

This is actually a Gu worm with the bloodline of the Dragon Devouring Gu. Although its bloodline is extremely incomplete, if it advances step by step and purifies the bloodline of the Dragon Devouring Gu in its body, it is very likely to become a Dragon Devouring Gu.

Lin Li already knew the power of the Dragon-Swallowing Gu through the jade slips left in the thirty-six caves of Qianyuan Mountain.

Moreover, this Dragon-Devouring Gu is a top-tier bloodline among the Gu clans of the Spirit Realm.

How did they end up in the secret realm of Muteng Mountain?

Could the existence of this little secret realm be related to the spirit world?

Lin Li also developed a great deal of curiosity.
