Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Even though the amount of spirit stones He Song earned was already quite considerable in the eyes of other Foundation Establishment Masters.

But after all, Blue Moon Immortal City is only a small Immortal City.

In the Immortal City, there was no existence that could pose a life threat to a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, He Song and those Foundation Establishment Masters in Blue Moon Immortal City have been peacefully coexisting.

And as He Song continued to improve his skills, time started to pass slowly.

With the increasing number of spirit stones on him, He Song’s proficiency in the Art of Amulet Making also began to rise rapidly.

The drawing of a large number of spirit amulets made He Song’s progress in the Amulet Tao far exceed his past, and the number of Foundation Establishment spirit amulets drawn also increased rapidly with the passage of time.

During this period, He Song also gained an understanding of the speed at which he could earn spirit stones through the Amulet Tao.

The Amulet Tao is a means for any cultivator to quickly earn spirit stones.

The number of spirit stones He Song earned through the Amulet Tao was not particularly large each time, but they were quite substantial when accumulated over a long period of time.

As for the Artifact Tao, which He Song was more diligently exploring.

Of course, it progressed faster.

He Song’s achievements in the Artifact Tao also saw a significant improvement.

After refining a large number of high-quality artifacts and gaining a lot of understanding of high-quality artifacts, He Song’s artifacts refinement skill quickly progressed towards the supreme quality artifacts.

Because He Song possessed the memories of Master Yin Yue, it was as if he had a teacher who unreservedly imparted all the knowledge of artifacts refinement to him without any concealment, and he made rapid progress.

In a short period of time, He Song’s achievements in the Artifact Tao quickly improved.

He Song had refined a large number of high-quality artifacts, and after becoming proficient in the skill of refining high-quality artifacts, He Song naturally set his sights on the next level, the supreme-quality artifacts.

Unfortunately, as it was still early days, He Song was not in a hurry to study the refining of supreme-quality artifacts.

Everything was based on laying a solid foundation, continuously refining high-quality artifacts, and selling them to the Treasure Pavilion in Blue Moon Immortal City in exchange for spirit stones and materials for amulet making and artifact refining.

In this way.

When time passed in a blink of an eye, and a whole three years had passed.

In a place far away from Cloud State Mansion.

In a secluded forest.

Within a Concealment Array of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A man in a black robe slowly opened his eyes.

This man in the black robe was dressed in tattered clothes, even many of them were missing, looking like a beggar with insufficient clothing.

However, at first glance, through the black robe, the skin on the black-robed man was crystal clear like jade, unlike ordinary people.

After opening his eyes, he glanced down at his own robe, frowned, and immediately changed into a new black robe.

When a brand new man in black appeared in the forest.

With his gaze directed towards the distance, the voice of the man in black was also quickly heard.

“Thirteen years.”

“In a blink of an eye, thirteen years have passed.”

“The injuries I sustained at the Cloud State Mansion back then have finally fully recovered.”

“Even, I’ve taken a big step forward in the Later Stage of Golden Elixir.”

“Unfortunately, these thirteen years have not made the mana in the Golden Elixir perfect, thus stepping into the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm.”

“Otherwise…”

“How hateful! If it hadn’t been for that youngster at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, how could I have ended up in this situation!”

As the voice of the man in black robe continued to emanate, his identity was also revealed.

This man.

He was unquestionably the Black-Robe Golden Elixir who had sold the Green Jade Leaf to He Song.

Now, thirteen years had passed, and the heavy blow that Black-Robe Golden Elixir had originally suffered had also slowly recovered over these thirteen years.

In fact, for a typical Golden Elixir Master, even if they were severely injured, it would not take more than ten years to fully recover after taking the healing spirit elixirs.

But because Master Zi Shan was not an ordinary Golden Elixir, the damage he left in the Black-Robe Golden Elixir was extremely difficult to recover.

In addition, the Black-Robe Golden Elixir had used a secret skill to escape, in order to save his life.

Therefore, due to the backfire of the secret skill and the extremely difficult-to-recover injuries, it took Black-Robe Golden Elixir over a decade to fully heal under their combined effect.

He restored his original combat power, and even improved his cultivation compared to before.

However, from the final voice of the Black-Robe Golden Elixir, it seemed that…

The resentment towards He Song, even after more than a decade, didn’t diminish but…

Instead, perhaps it even intensified.

Black-Robe Golden Elixir murmured to himself in the forest for a while, and finally withdrew the Foundation Establishment Realm’s Concealment Array he had previously set up, leaving the place.

And began aimlessly searching for surrounding Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities.

After a while of searching,

Black-Robe Golden Elixir soon learned of his location and quickly headed towards his cave mansion, following the map in his mind.

A decade or so ago,

He was pursued by Master Zi Shan, and a few Golden Elixir Masters from the Cloud State Mansion.

After several twists and turns, he had finally escaped using his secret skill, but had deviated from his original direction, unaware of his location.

Under such circumstances, Black-Robe Golden Elixir decided to stay put, planning to wait until his injuries heal before heading back to his cave mansion.

Now, more than a decade has flashed by in a blink of an eye.

Black-Robe Golden Elixir has fully recovered.

As a matter of course, he immediately wanted to rush back to his own cave mansion.

“A decade or so has passed.”

“I wonder how the materials that I had left being smelted by the Earth Fire in my cave mansion are now.”

“Given the temperature of the Earth Fire, I suspect most of those materials should have already melted, with only a few parts that the Earth Fire could do nothing about, still in their original form, right?”

“But it’s okay, those materials that can’t be melted by Earth Fire, once I’m back at my cave mansion and have them smelted with spirit fire, they will melt quickly.”

“By then, with life-bound Artifacts on hand, even if I encounter the previous situation, I wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.”

“Curses! That brat at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection!”

“And that Zi Shan.”

“Don’t let me catch you in the future, otherwise, I’ll definitely turn both of you into pieces!”

“If it wasn’t for you two, how could I have ended up in such a state?”

“I suppose, by now you probably already successful refined the life-bound Artifacts, and even started testing its power, right?”

The Black-Robe Golden Elixir, who was flying towards his cave mansion, still had thoughts swirling in his mind.

In these thirteen years, it wasn’t like he hadn’t considered leaving the place to head back to the cave mansion once his injuries had slightly healed.

But the thought of Master Zi Shan pursuing him with the intense purple gleam in his eyes, and those vicious moves that seemed to want to put him to death while he was still healing, made him dare not leave.

What if he encountered Master Zi Shan after he left?

Being a Golden Elixir Master, and a one whose cultivation has reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, he didn’t want to die without knowing why in Master Zi Shan’s hands.

You see, he really didn’t do anything.

All he wanted was to catch that young man at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and search his soul to find out if his Green Jade Leaf had been given to Master Luo Jing.

Aside from that, he really didn’t do anything.

Also for this very reason, feeling that his life and property couldn’t be guaranteed once he left,

Black-Robe Golden Elixir naturally rejected this idea quickly, choosing to continue to stay put to heal his injuries before leaving.

However, continuously healing for over a decade was really a bit too long,

Which is why, after his injuries had fully healed, he immediately wanted to return to his own cave mansion.

Yet, while Black-Robe Golden Elixir was rushing to his own cave mansion…

He was unaware that his cave mansion seemed to have been targeted by countless people already.

More than two years ago,

News had already spread from the Green Mountain Immortal City.
