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

Chapter 194 A Female Cultivator of the Mystic Sect, Pseudo-Core Stage!?

Jade Dragon Mountain, Golden Jade Pavilion.

Half a day later.

More and more Foundation Establishment cultivators were arriving in the main hall of the pavilion.

The number has reached more than forty.

Moreover, those who could be invited by Huo Dong were all Foundation Establishment cultivators who had cultivated all the arts of immortal cultivation or had already entered the basics of one of the arts of immortal cultivation.

"Um? 』

"This aura is already very close to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

now.

Standing at the edge of the hall, a stream of blue light descended from the sky onto the ancient stone platform in the center of the hall, revealing a man in a blue robe who appeared to be around forty years old, exuding an air of refinement.

He seemed to be a very easy-going person.

This person is Huo Dong, one of the city lord's personal disciples.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for attending the Hundred Immortals Gathering that I am hosting."

"To hone each other's skills."

"The various arts of cultivating immortality each have their own merits."

"The myriad creations of nature point directly to the Great Dao."

"We fellow practitioners all know that the path to the Golden Elixir is extremely difficult."

"Only one in a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators might emerge as a Core Formation stage senior."

"However, if we could elevate the skills we cultivate in the Hundred Arts of Immortality to the third rank!"

"With a status no less than that of a cultivator in the Core Formation stage, they are naturally able to stand out."

"This is also the reason why I organized the Hundred Immortals Gathering. It is to provide a platform for you all to exchange skills and receive spiritual items personally given by me."

"If our Hundred Immortals Gathering could produce a fellow Daoist with a third-tier skill, then we could have a third-tier master in Xuanyu City."

"Then everything I've done has been worthwhile."

Huo Dong glanced calmly at the many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the hall, his gaze sweeping over Su Baiyao, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator who was visiting for the first time.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

I thought he wouldn't come the first time I invited him.

Huo Dong learned that Su Baiyao, whose lifespan was less than forty years, was already capable of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, after careful investigation, it seems that Su Baiyao's advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage took even less time, which is enough to prove that his bloodline talent is not low.

It is highly likely that it is at least a second-tier, intermediate-level bloodline.

Such a Foundation Establishment cultivator has the potential to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage and is worth befriending. If we could bring him into Xuanyu City...

It will surely earn the master's personal praise.

His fellow disciples were all as fierce as tigers, eager to leave a good impression on their master. He held the Hundred Immortals Gathering to cultivate several cultivators in Xuanyu City who could break through to the second level of skill.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators who have the opportunity to advance to the third tier of skills.

If someone can really become a third-tier cultivator and have some connection to the Hundred Immortals Gathering, it will definitely leave a very good impression on Master.

"Weapon forging."

"It's not easy to refine."

Huo Dong made a judgment in his mind: perhaps Su Baiyao would also need his help in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Huo, your righteousness is boundless!"

"Under Senior Yuan's protection, Xuan Yu City will surely rise to new heights!"

Several early Foundation Establishment cultivators around him also chimed in with their praise, their faces beaming as they looked at Huo Dong.

It had a distinctly obsequious tone.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also raised their hands in return, responding in kind.

"it is good."

"Now that most of the people have arrived, let's begin."

"Who's going first?"

Huo Dong finished speaking.

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and a beam of blue spiritual light fell from his hand into the ancient stone platform beneath him.

Boom!

The stone platform split in the middle, and a second-tier alchemy furnace with an impressive aura rose from the bottom. This furnace was connected to an underground fire vein, and a blazing crimson spiritual fire clung to the bottom of the furnace.

A wave of heat spread through the hall.

"I'll go first."

"I just happened to have some good news today."

"Today I have refined a first-grade superior spiritual pill. I hope you will all give me your guidance."

Among them, a burly man in red robes standing in front looked to be about ten feet tall. He didn't seem like an alchemist, but rather a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was refining his body. His voice was also very rough.

After saying that, the red-robed man stepped forward, took out a lot of spiritual liquid that had been extracted in advance from his storage bag, and began to use his fire control technique.

They immediately began refining pills.

"Fellow Daoist Su, look at this person's physique. This Fellow Daoist Li used to cultivate his body. At first, he wanted to follow the same path as Fellow Daoist Su in weapon crafting, but after several years, he gained very little."

"I haven't even reached the threshold of a first-tier intermediate-level weapon refining technique."

"It consumed countless spiritual materials."

"After that, he went to mine for fifty years. After accumulating some spirit stones from the mine, he returned and borrowed a lot more spirit stones. Then he began to cultivate in seclusion in his cave in the city. Finally, he became a first-level intermediate alchemist."

"After a few years, we are now able to refine first-grade high-quality pills."

"If I can refine a first-grade high-quality pill, I can earn some spirit stones."

"However, as far as I know, this Fellow Daoist Li has a lot of debts."

"The debt must be at least tens of thousands of spirit stones."

"If you want to refine a first-grade high-quality elixir and pay off your debt step by step, it will take at least several decades."

now.

Jiang Zuo, standing on one side of the forest, said with a sigh.

Jiang Zuo seemed to have been reminded of himself upon seeing Fellow Daoist Li. He had also impoverished his family by refining pills, and relying solely on refining first-grade high-level spiritual pills was not only slow in generating income.

Their family sold off so many things; if they continued to make money at this rate, it would probably take them two hundred years to recoup what they had invested. Only by advancing to the second-tier alchemist level could they turn the situation around.

But becoming a second-tier alchemist is incredibly difficult.

"I see."

Lin Li nodded slowly.

Its main body was connected to the clone of the Reincarnation Disc, and its divine sense power, comparable to that of a Pseudo-Core Stage cultivator, swept over the dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators below.

"Um?"

"What is this magical power?"

"Mystical power!"

When Lin Li's divine sense swept over a female cultivator in white robes wearing a bamboo hat, the hidden magical aura emanating from her was extremely familiar to him.

If the cultivator is not familiar with the Xuanmen techniques...

They couldn't sense the other party's concealed magical power, but Lin Li had cultivated Xuanmen techniques for so long and mastered many Xuanmen supernatural abilities, so he was extremely familiar with Xuanmen magical power.

Xuanmen cultivator?

It seems that some Xuanmen cultivators from the spirit realm also fell into the territory of the Northern Yue Kingdom through spatial rifts.

Right.

Many Xuanmen cultivators fell from the spatial rift in the upper realm. Some of them landed in the Southern Yue Kingdom, while others landed in the neighboring Northern Yue Kingdom.

It is even possible that in other cultivation kingdoms in the lower realm, there are also some scattered inheritances of Xuanmen cultivators.

If that's the case, using the same method of deduction, it's possible that the Dragon-Swallowing Gu still exists in the Southern Yue Kingdom.

Does the Northern Yue Kingdom also have the Dragon-Swallowing Gu?

The Dragon-Swallowing Gu from the Southern Yue Kingdom, and the white-haired girl with the body of a centipede, were all just remnants of the Dragon-Swallowing Gu's soul.

If the Northern Yue Kingdom truly possesses the Dragon-Swallowing Gu, it might even be a complete entity.

Geek!

Upon realizing this, Lin Li's heart sank.

The bloodline figures accumulated on his reincarnation disk are at most only a first-tier, mid-level bloodline.

If this Xuanmen cultivator were to actually summon an old Gu clan member back to Xuanyu City, that would be quite bad.

It seems that collecting bloodlines will require even more effort.

Early stage of Foundation Building.

"Water-based mystical magic."

"The aura of this technique seems somewhat familiar?"

After Lin Li carefully examined the female cultivator with his divine sense, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

after all.

When I was in Xuandu Cave, I read through all the cultivation techniques I had ever seen and memorized them.

Whether it's the various mystical and supernatural abilities that one cultivates or those that cannot be cultivated.

It can be said that Lin Li has accumulated a great deal of experience.

"Forget it, it's best to avoid getting involved."

The thought that this female cultivator from the Xuanmen sect might attract the Gu clan made Lin Li feel an urge to leave immediately; this place was not a safe place to stay!

but.

This female cultivator from the Xuanmen sect knows how to conceal herself; she must have switched to cultivation later in life.

The magical power within his body was extremely mottled, separated from the magical power cultivated through ordinary techniques, forming two distinct domains.

It is likely that it has found the cave dwelling of a Xuanmen cultivator, or that it has the remnant soul of a Xuanmen cultivator residing in its body, or that it possesses a treasure related to the remnant soul.

The process of switching from ordinary cultivation methods to Xuanmen cultivation methods is precisely the state that this female Xuanmen cultivator is currently exhibiting.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you recognize that female cultivator in white wearing a bamboo hat?"

Lin Li transmitted his voice to Jiang Zuo on one side.

"Um?"

"I don't know him."

"They must be passing by, or newcomers to Xuanyu City. Every year, a few Foundation Establishment cultivators come to Xuanyu City to settle down after taking advantage of the two years of rent-free cave dwellings."

At this moment, Jiang Zuo followed Lin Li's words, glanced at the white-robed female cultivator in the crowd, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and replied with his divine sense.

"I was just passing by, that's fine."

Lin Li felt somewhat relieved after hearing Jiang Zuo's response.

Then, Jiang Zuo's gaze fell on the red-haired cultivator who was refining pills. He was very focused, as if he wanted to see something from him.

After all, Jiang Zuo himself was a first-class superior alchemist who had studied alchemy for many years.

His progress was slow.

If you observe a lot during this gathering of immortals, you can gain a lot of experience.

If you observe it a few more times, you'll still have a chance to advance further. Even if you can't refine second-tier spirit pills, you'll at least have a chance to touch upon spirit pills at the half-step Foundation Establishment level.

The value of such a elixir is more than double that of a first-grade superior elixir.

That is Jiangzuo's goal.

...

...

at the same time.

Xiao Yingxue, wearing a straw hat, was in her sea of ​​consciousness.

A blurry female cultivator's soul suddenly appeared. She had a slender and graceful figure. Although her face was not clearly visible, her figure spoke volumes.

"Little guy, you were just being spied on!!"

"Don't rush."

"The other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent. They were probably just casually investigating the Foundation Establishment cultivators participating in the Hundred Immortals Gathering here."

"The divine sense of a pseudo-core cultivator."

"The other party is very well hidden; my divine sense can only be confined within your sea of ​​consciousness."

"However, one thing is certain: the person spying on you is among these Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"A pseudo-core cultivator is hiding his cultivation level among these cultivators. We don't know what his intentions are, but it's very likely not a good thing."

"It seems that Xuanyu City isn't a good place to settle down!"

"It would be best to leave this place as soon as possible."

now.

That sweet, girlish voice echoed in my mind.

"We were spied on by a cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage!"

Upon hearing the divine transmission from that senior within her sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Yingxue's pupils contracted, and a hint of panic flashed across her face.

but.

She then calmed herself down. She was still in Xuanyu City, and at least she was safe within the city.

There is a cave dwelling in Xuanyu City that is rent-free for two years. I have just started to switch to the Xuanmen water system cultivation method. Xuanyu City is also close to the lake, which can help me speed up the switching process.

Even if there were pseudo-Core Formation cultivators spying on her, the reputation of the Core Formation stage ancestor in Xuan Yu City prevented them from doing anything to her.

"senior."

"Two years of rent-free rent will save a lot of spirit stones."

"Stay in the city."

"It should be much safer now than outside the city."

"I want to stay here for two years, further improve my cultivation technique, and then leave for the west."

Xiao Yingxue responded telepathically.

"Since you've made up your mind, then stay here."

"The aura around you is mottled; the Xuanmen magic power and your own original magic power are incompatible."

"If you forcibly activate a certain kind of magic power, it will disrupt your own balance of magic power."

"Staying in this city is actually more peaceful."

The remnant soul of the female cultivator in the sea of ​​consciousness did not say anything more.

After all, the pseudo-core cultivator who was spying on Xiao Yingxue didn't stay with his divine sense for very long, and it's unknown whether he actually sensed anything.

But considering that the other party concealed their true strength and hid among these Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is highly likely that the other party is not a cultivator from Xuanyu City.

In that case, the other party wouldn't come for a mere gathering of immortals.

Xiao Yingxue's purpose in attending this Hundred Immortals Gathering was simply to showcase her second-tier winemaking skills in order to obtain the second-tier spiritual item given to her by Fellow Daoist Huo Dong.

No cultivator would complain about having too many second-tier spiritual items, especially Xiao Yingxue, who was new to the area.

The more spiritual items one carries, the better.

...

...

After a while.

boom!

On the stone platform in the center of the hall, the red-haired cultivator completed his hand seals and condensed his elixir.

A considerable surge of magical power emanated from within the alchemy furnace, accompanied by a muffled thud, suggesting an impressive aura.

When the alchemy furnace is opened.

A fragrant aroma filled the air, and a jade pill with a three-colored glow on its surface flew out and hovered above the alchemy furnace.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators around them all released their divine senses to investigate the condition of the pill.

They had also come to a conclusion.

After more than ten breaths.

The red-robed cultivator then raised his hand to put away the pill and bowed to Huo Dong and the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators.

after that.

It was a scene where Foundation Establishment cultivators displayed their cultivation skills, and Lin Li was among them.

When he forged a first-grade superior Crimson Flame Spirit Sword, the Foundation Establishment cultivators around him were quite surprised.

Because of Lin Li's age, and through word of mouth among several Foundation Establishment cultivators, they learned that he was a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator who had only recently achieved Foundation Establishment.

His ability to upgrade weapon crafting to the first-tier superior level is enough to prove his exceptional talent.
