Begin the path of immortality from mortals

“Tsk tsk, this Zhenhai Palace is indeed a medium-sized force with three Mahayana cultivators. This background is really beyond my expectations!”

With a wave of his hand, Lu Tiandu put away the magnificent palaces built with thousand-year-old corals from the seabed and sighed repeatedly.

According to Ni Kui's memory, after being teleported into Zhenhai Palace from the secret teleportation array, he, Ming Luo and Chu Hui felt like mice entering a rice warehouse.

Although there were hundreds of fusion cultivators in Zhenhai Palace, after the deaths of three palace masters with the cultivation level of the early Mahayana stage and ten powerful cultivators with the cultivation level of the late fusion stage, the people with the highest cultivation level in the palace were less than twenty cultivators with the cultivation level of the late fusion stage.

Even though Chu Hui's realm has dropped and she is currently only at the late stage of fusion, it is still easy for her to kill a cultivator at the late stage of fusion.

Therefore, when they were plundering the resources of Zhenhai Palace, they encountered almost no resistance.

Moreover, according to Ni Kui's memory, among the more than thirty late-stage fusion cultivators in Zhenhai Palace, the original forms of four of them are dragons.

His Nine Dragons Chariot is now pulled by only six dragons in the late stage of fusion, so the three dragons in Zhenhai Palace were also suppressed by him into the Stone Bead World, and will be refined into spirit slaves later in the name of the complete Nine Dragons Chariot.

"There are quite a lot of top-grade water-attributed spiritual materials and medicines in this ocean. We've got a bargain this time!"

Ming Luo also chuckled.

As for Chu Hui, she was plundering resources with a hint of revenge in her heart.

After all, she saw a lot of things belonging to Qianqingdao here.

At this time, as the three of them continued to loot the various halls of Zhenhai Palace, they had already alarmed all the monks in Zhenhai Palace.

His spiritual sense swept over the cultivators of Zhenhai Palace, some of whom were in doubt and uncertainty, and some of whom were rushing towards them. Lu Tiandu opened his mouth, and his spiritual sense enveloped the entire Zhenhai Palace:

"Ni Kui and the other two have been killed by Xiao. If you want to die, you can stay here!"

Just as he opened his mouth, the murderous intent in his soul suddenly erupted, and a cold, murderous intent permeated the souls of all the cultivators in Zhenhai Palace.

In an instant, the faces of all the monks in Zhenhai Palace changed drastically. Without hesitation, they flashed out of the Zhenhai Palace, sank into the sea, and disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, from the true meaning of killing in Lu Tiandu's actual combat, they understood that the strength of this Mahayana monk named Xiao far exceeded that of the three palace masters, and the news of the deaths of the three palace masters was roughly correct.

"Okay, let's continue looting for a while and then leave!"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly.

They had destroyed the teleportation array under their feet when they were teleported here. Therefore, even if the Sea King Clan discovered the death of Ji Tianxiong and other three and quickly rushed to the secret island, it would be impossible for them to reach the Zhenhai Palace immediately.

Even if they hurried on their way, it would take a day for them to find Zhenhai Palace, by which time they would have disappeared without a trace.

More than an hour later, after Lu Tiandu put away Ming Luo and Chu Hui, he left a mark in the main hall of Zhenhai Palace that read "The murderer is Xiao Changsheng, waiting for the nobles to come for revenge", and then disappeared.

Of course, before this, he had already erased the soul mark on the "Blade of Flame Sky", a remnant treasure of Xuantian, for Chu Hui.

After returning to the Stone Bead World, Lu Tiandu was not in a hurry to return to Yuncheng, but started to refine spirit slaves first.

After successfully refining the three dragon spirit slaves, Lu Tiandu refined the Nine Dragon Treasure Chariot again before he stopped.

The next moment, after appearing somewhere in Ziwei Sea with the help of the world coordinate function, Lu Tiandu released the Nine-Dragon Chariot, and his figure flashed and appeared in the chariot.

More than half a month had passed since he met Ming Luo this time. Apart from traveling, he had been killing people and stealing treasures. He had not yet had time to ask Ming Luo about his gains from this exploration of the ancient Mahayana-level alchemy master. Now was the perfect time.

"What? I actually got a furnace specifically used for alchemy? And it's a Xuantian treasure?"

When Lu Tian heard Ming Luo talk about the final gain of this trip to Dan Yangzi's cave, he was also surprised.

It was beyond his expectation that he could obtain a Xuantian treasure with special use so easily.

"Yes, even I was shocked when I saw the information Dan Yangzi left in the inheritance!"

Ming Luo's eyes also showed a little more joy, and he said with a smile, "Do you know? The pills refined by this 'Nine Fire God Refining Furnace' can increase the efficacy of any pill by 20% to 30%. "

"It's easy to make low- and mid-level elixirs, as the required spiritual herbs are generally less than ten thousand years old. As for high-level elixirs, especially the top-level spiritual herbs suitable for Mahayana cultivators, they all require spiritual herbs that are more than thirty thousand years old to refine..."

“Taking into account the success rate of pills, it can be said that even the richest Mahayana cultivators have very few elixirs that can improve their cultivation… and with these Nine Fire God Refining Furnaces, each batch of elixirs can increase their effectiveness by two or three times out of thin air. What an amazing effect!”

"That's true. Spiritual medicines that are over 30,000 years old are extremely rare even in the wilderness. And among the relics of several Mahayana cultivators that I have come into contact with before, although I have occasionally found elixir formulas, I have never found any elixir that can improve cultivation. It's obvious."

Lu Tiandu nodded in agreement and said, "This Xuantian treasure is indeed extremely effective for cultivators. No wonder it ranks 15th on the Ten Thousand Spirits List!"

Lu Tian had long memorized the rankings of Xuantian's Treasure and Xuantian's Fragmented Treasure, so just by hearing the name of this treasure, he knew its position on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List.

"Also, I don't know if the elixir refined by the Nine Fire God Refining Furnace can continue to superimpose the effects of the Tianluo Pill. If so, it can really be considered a powerful weapon!"

Lu Tiandu suddenly remembered something and added.

“What? Tiandu, you still have Tianluo Pill in your hand!”

Ming Luo said with a look of shock.

Before, when Lu Tian gave her some Taiqing Immortal Liquid to restore her cultivation, he also gave her several Tianluo Pills.

With the help of Tianluo Dan, she enhanced the magical effects of the Taiqing Immortal Liquid to three to five times the effect, and also accelerated the recovery of her cultivation.

She didn't expect that from what Lu Tiandu said, he actually had this kind of elixir in his hands!

And if the Tianluo Pill can increase the efficacy of the elixir produced by the Nine Fire God's Furnace, then based on the lowest increase, the effect of such a bottle of elixir is equivalent to that of an ordinary bottle and a half of elixir.

And if you are lucky and both are at a high probability, it almost means that taking one bottle of pills will produce the effect of two bottles of pills, which is even more terrifying.

"Of course! But whether it works or not, we'll have to try it later to see."

Lu Tiandu laughed and said, "Speaking of which, Sister Mingluo didn't tell me right away after she got such a valuable treasure. She's really patient!"

"Humph, who told you to look like you don't care so much!"

Ming Luo snorted.

When she and Lu Tiandu met for the first time, she was originally prepared to report their gains. However, when she tested him, she found that Lu Tiandu seemed to care more about the young widow, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Now seeing Lu Tiandu’s happy look, she felt very satisfied.

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and a jade box about a foot high and engraved with dense gold and silver runes and several jade slips appeared in her palm.

"These jade slips contain the alchemy inheritance left by Dan Yangzi and many alchemy recipes that are not common in the spiritual world today. Among them, there are more than ten alchemy recipes for the Mahayana period. It's quite surprising!" Ming Luo first pointed at several jade talismans and said. After Lu Tiandu took a quick look at the contents of the jade slips, she smiled and opened the jade box.

Suddenly, an extremely exquisite small alchemy furnace appeared in Lu Tiandu's sight.

The shape of this furnace is very different from that of ordinary alchemy furnaces. It is bright red, has three legs and two ears, and the middle part is small at the top and large at the bottom, and looks somewhat like a gourd.

Above the furnace body, there are nine real dragons shining with golden light and with their mouths wide open, hovering, looking so lifelike as if they were alive.

Just by sensing the aura of this furnace, Lu Tiandu knew that there was a Xuantian treasure inside.

"Sister Mingluo has made such a great contribution this time. I wonder what reward she wants?"

Lu Tiandu played with the Nine Fire God Furnace for a while, then suddenly looked at Ming Luo and smiled.

"Humph, if you are willing, why don't you help me cultivate the body of a candle dragon as soon as possible?"

Ming Luo raised the corner of his mouth and said.

"How can this be considered a reward?"

Lu Tiandu chuckled and held Ming Luo's hand very skillfully, "Even if you don't tell me, I will help you cultivate into a true spirit body within a thousand years."

"Humph, bad guy! What evil idea do you have?"

Although Lu Tiandu had held her hand before, as usual, a faint blush appeared on Ming Luo's pretty face this time, which was very beautiful.

"Sister really understands me and knows that I am going to do something bad!"

Lu Tiandu chuckled, stretched out his arms, and pulled Ming Luo into his arms.

This was the first time the two of them were so close, and Ming Luo felt more and more shy.

But she seemed to have been prepared for it. She hesitated a little and then stayed quietly in Lu Tiandu's arms, her head slightly lowered and her heart pounding.

Seeing this, Lu Tiandu did not tease the thin-skinned and a little jealous beauty in his arms. He put his arms around Ming Luo's waist, leaned close to Ming Luo's slightly red ears, and said softly:

"Sister Mingluo, please be my Taoist partner!"

"Ok!"

Ming Luo's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she responded softly. She felt a sense of joy in her heart. Just when she wanted to say something, she sighed in her heart and stopped talking.

At this moment, Lu Tiandu came over and kissed her red lips...

Time flies, and it’s already one month later.

During this period, Lu Tiandu and his companions did not hear any news about the Sea King Clan, and the journey to the Tianyun territory was relatively smooth.

On this day, tens of thousands of miles away from the Magic Gold Mountains, the Nine Dragon Treasure Chariot that was flying high in the sky stopped flying...

At the same time, a major event that few people knew about happened in Yuncheng.

Not only were the city gates, which had already been heavily guarded after the Jiao Chi invasion, now even more heavily guarded, but the number of patrol officers in the city also increased by nearly double.

Some newcomers to the city were visited by mysterious people and were closely interrogated. Some of them had questionable identities and mysteriously disappeared from the city.

Tianxu Pavilion is a well-known space magic treasure in Yuncheng.

At this moment, in an extremely secret hall somewhere in Tianxu Pavilion, there were more than a dozen monks of different identities, sitting in two rows, each on a wooden chair.

Among these people, there were many that Lu Tian knew, such as Qianjizi from the Wan Gu clan, Duan Tianren from the Shi Jian clan, and his own woman Cai Liuying.

Without exception, these people are high-level cultivators from the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun who are in charge of the affairs of their own clan in Yuncheng.

However, at this moment, these saint-level beings who were famous outside were all sitting solemnly, and most of them showed a hint of caution.

At the top of the hall, there was a man and a woman sitting side by side.

The man was a young man in a white robe, about 27 or 28 years old, with an ordinary face and bare feet.

The woman was an old woman with blonde hair and deep wrinkles on her face, and it seemed as if she couldn't even open her eyelids.

The two people are none other than Mahayana Weng and Madam Sha, who are currently on the front line of the Jiao Chi invasion.

However, at this moment, the Mahayana monk surnamed Weng had a gloomy face, and an indescribable gloomy aura emanated from his body. He suddenly looked at the person sitting on both sides and asked coldly:

"So many days have passed, and we still haven't found the infiltrator from the Jiaochi tribe. It seems that he has either fled far away or is hiding in a secret place that you can't find. Fellow Daoist Bai, your Shuimei tribe has been in charge of this matter recently. What do you think about this?"

The man was a young man with white hair and a brocade robe. When he heard the question from the young man surnamed Weng, his face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still stood up hurriedly and replied with a slight bow:
"Senior Weng, this time I have mobilized all the experts in the clan who are proficient in the art of bewitching. Almost all the suspicious people who entered Yuncheng in the past six months have been checked. We even found hundreds of spies from other clans in Tianyun."

"But there is no trace of the Jiaochi tribe member who broke into the worship hall. I think he may have really left Yuncheng, otherwise he would not have escaped our strict investigation."

"That's not necessarily true. The spy may also be proficient in the art of bewitching the soul. It's possible that the people sent by Brother Bai were not capable enough to see through the enemy and let him go by mistake."

A person who was covered in gray light and seemed to be just a shadow suddenly spoke calmly from the side.

"Hmph! If it comes to other skills, perhaps our clan wouldn't dare to compete with other clans. But in the study of the Way of Bewitching Souls, our clan is definitely second to none among the thirteen clans. If Daoist Cangying feels that the Yin Demon Clan is stronger than our Shui Mei Clan in this aspect, then this matter can naturally be handed over to Brother Cangying."

The white-haired man replied rudely.

"I said this out of caution. When it comes to the attainments of the art of bewitching souls, how can our Yin Yao clan compare with the talents of the nobles?"

The man in gray laughed and looked nonchalant.

The white-haired man's eyes turned cold, and when he wanted to say something else, the young man surnamed Weng's face darkened and he spoke:

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. This guy actually stole the diagram of the restriction formation that we just set up in Yuncheng. No matter what the cost, he must not be allowed to leave Yuncheng. Otherwise, when the Jiaochi tribe's army arrives at the city, most of the restrictions in our city will be abolished."

"Besides, it is impossible for the Jiaochi clan spy to escape. As soon as I found out that the things were stolen, I ordered all exits to be blocked. In the past few days, everyone can only enter but not leave. That person can't even think of flying out of Yuncheng as a mosquito."

"According to the only guard injured by him, that person was only at the Void Refining Stage, and it was unlikely that he could deceive the investigation of Fellow Daoist Bai's men. If so, it means that he had most likely either sneaked into Yuncheng recently or had been in the city with another identity for many years, so the previous investigation did not suspect him."

After hearing what the young man surnamed Weng said, the white-haired man and the gray shadow said respectfully, and both kept silent. (End of this chapter)
